A few days passed by, and Luo Zhang sent a steady stream of supplies, which gave Li Jing greater confidence.
In Gaoguli, the biggest fear is the shortage of supplies. Once supplies are in short supply, it will be a disaster.
The reason why the Sui Dynasty was defeated was firstly because of the weather, and secondly because of the shortage of supplies.
In the end, many people in the army froze to death, their morale was low, and they were defeated by the Goguli people.
Li Jing didn't want to make the same mistake again, so he suppressed the soldiers' idea of crossing the river to attack.
"Commander, the Green River is frozen, it's frozen!"
In the early morning, as soon as Li Jing finished washing, Yuchi Jingde ran into the camp and reported the news to Li Jing.
"Oh? Is it frozen? How thick is it?" Li Jing asked hurriedly.
"I just went to see it. There is no problem with the sled on it. I put hundreds of kilograms of rocks on it and there is no problem with it. Now we can cross the river and launch an attack on Pyongyang!" Yuchi Jingde pounded his fist excitedly. , he has been holding it back so much these past few days. He goes to the riverside every day to check whether the Green River is frozen. If it is not frozen, troops cannot be sent out, so they have to stay in the igloo. It is as frustrating as it is for him. How frustrating.
Just when Li Jing received the news, Changsun Chong had been very agitated in Pyongyang City these days. From the news constantly coming from spies, he learned that Li Jing had not withdrawn his troops, which surprised him.
More spies were sent to investigate, and although many people died, some information was still obtained.
The Tang army actually built a kind of house out of ice and snow. Li Jing's army all stayed in that kind of ice and snow house. It is said that the top of the house was still steaming, but for some reason it did not melt away, and the people inside did not freeze to death.
This incident spread quickly in Pyongyang, and people said that this was a magical method used by the Tang Army, and that the Tang Army was invincible and other rumors.
Changsun Chong would not let go of those who spread rumors. He immediately arrested these people and beheaded them all in public.
Although the rumors were suppressed, Changsun Chong also knew that suppressing such things was useless. Only by defeating the Tang army could the rumors be stopped.
However, the Tang army did not cross the river and was stationed on the other side. This made Chang Sun Chong very puzzled. It is said that since the Tang army found a way to stay here, it should find a way to capture Pyongyang. But what does it mean to not cross the river? Is it possible that we want to wait until spring comes and the flowers bloom before attacking Pyongyang?
It's not that Changsun Chong was careless and didn't understand the situation, but that the people in Pyongyang hated Changsun Chong. Who would tell him the truth.
Most of the soldiers led by Changsun Chong were from the Western Turks. Although they could survive the ice and snow, they were not familiar with this place. This caused Changsun Chong not to understand what Li Jing was doing.
When the spy once again conveyed the news that the Green River was frozen to Changsun Chong, Changsun Chong finally came to his senses.
"hateful!!!"
The furious Changsun Chong punched the table, smashing it into pieces.
"Send the order, the cavalry will leave the city immediately and go to the river to stop Li Jing's army from crossing the river. Once you find them crossing the river, shoot them to death! Quick!!!" Changsun Chong roared and ordered the soldiers.
The messenger didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly ran out of the tent and went to deliver a message to the general below.
Soon, a cavalry force consisting of tens of thousands of people headed towards the Green River carrying crossbows on their backs.
At this time, by the Green River, sleds pulling huge artillery and supplies were marching to the other side of the river. Although the cold wind was biting, it did not stop the Tang army's determination to cross the river.
One by one, they braved the wind and snow and moved forward. The person in the lead was naturally Yuchi Jingde. He was so excited that he rode a horse on the frozen river. It felt so good.
"Report!"
"There is a group of cavalry coming from Pyongyang City!"
The spy rode up to Yuchi Jingde and reported to Yuchi Jingde.
This time, Yuchi Jingde was the vanguard. Facing the arrival of the enemy, Yuchi Jingde was so happy. This was probably the happiest news he had ever heard.
If the enemy had been huddled in Pyongyang city, it would not be so easy for him to fight with the enemy. Now that it is better, the enemy actually came out to cause trouble for him, so what is there to say?
"My sons, the enemy is coming, what do you think we should do?" Yuchi Jingde shouted loudly.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!!!"
