A few days later, Cheng Chubi led the task force, fully loaded with food and supplies, left Dengzhou in a mighty way, and headed towards Yingzhou.

And Li Ji, the general manager of the Pyongyang Road March, stood on the main battleship of the Dengzhou Navy. General Wu Zhonglang waved his arms and issued military orders one after another.

The Dengzhou Navy of the Tang Dynasty once again came out in full force, slowly advancing towards the coast of Goguryeo and Baekje, oppressing the past.

After the last war, he has realized the superiority of the hot air balloon to detect the enemy before the opportunity, and it can also carry out remote interactive communication.

So that the navy of the Tang Dynasty can understand each other's intentions and implement the orders issued by the subordinates if they can be separated by tens of miles.

So this time, more hot air balloons were brought onto the battleship, which would turn the idea of ​​the Goguryeo and Baekje warships wanting to outflank and attack the Datang navy on the sea into a bubble, which would burst with a single poke.

Cheng Sanlang and his task force needed to go deep into the inland rivers to transport supplies and supplies to city-states like Yingzhou.

And those three-masted cruisers naturally couldn't go deep due to the draft problem of ocean-going ships.

They will serve as the main force of the **** team and block the entrance to the sea when the transport brigade enters the inland river.

In this way, even if the sailors of Goguryeo and Baekje want to come and attack, they have to carefully weigh whether they are the opponents of these explosive giant ships.

The wind in the north, even in spring, is still very bitter, but fortunately, the sailors are now provided with hand and face creams specially provided by the Han and Tang commercial firms, which can minimize the frostbite of the soldiers happened.

In addition, all the sailors are now wearing warm winter clothes, and, due to the advancement of textile technology, there is also the advanced concept of Cheng Sanlang, an excellent design master.

Whether it is the army or the navy of Datang, they have long since stopped wearing the open pants that are very cold when the cold wind blows.

They have already put on crotch trousers for a long time, of course, the front door can be unlocked, and the thick belt has become the standard equipment of every soldier.

In the past, the belts of trousers were made of cloth strips. Although they were good and cheap, they required a pair of dexterous hands to tie a slipknot.

But there is a problem, what if you get dizzy and don't have time to untie the knot with flexible fingering?

What's more, war is fatal, and no one knows when the enemy will suddenly attack. Therefore, in the past, slipknots that were not tied tightly and knots that could not be untied often became the pain points in the hearts of some brave soldiers. .

Since the improvement of the loom, coupled with the high quality and low price of the patchwork, it has become possible to make solid, moderately soft and hard waistbands by using thick canvas.

As long as the trouser belt is worn on the trouser ears of the trouser waist in advance, the two white thighs are inserted into the trouser leg, the trousers are lifted up, and then pulled and clicked, the pin buckle belt is locked instantly.

After having this thing, even if it is thin, it is not afraid, after all, this thing is really fast to take off.

In short, Cheng Sanlang felt that he was also devoting his heart and blood to contribute his modest strength to all aspects of Datang's military equipment.

The distance between Dengzhou and Liaodong Bay where Nayingzhou is located is equivalent to one in the south of the Bohai Sea and one in the north.

However, the Bohai Sea is not that big, so even if the Dengzhou Navy Task Force specially sailed along the coast, it only took a few days to reach the mouth of the White Wolf Water.

At the mouth of the sea, a sailor from Yingzhou happened to be cruising. When they saw the arrival of this huge transport fleet, they rushed forward immediately.

Soon, Cheng Sanlang saw an Ouchi guard who boarded the ship, and he also delivered a letter.

Only then did Cheng Sanlang learn that from the moment the old man gave the order to Dengzhou, the Tang elite who had already nestled in this Yingzhou area began to shoot out like arrows that left the string.

And the father-in-law who had stayed in Youzhou through the entire winter also led a vote of civil and military elders, and went directly to Yingzhou in one breath.

But now, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty are divided into several groups, all the way under the command of Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yi, crossed the Liao River from Tongding (now northwest of Xinmin) by surprise, and entered Xuantu (now east of Shenyang).

Li Daozong, the deputy governor of Liaodong Road, Jiangxia King, led his troops to advance to Xincheng (now north of Fushun). The defenders in the city were terrified and dared not go out to fight.

The vanguard Zhang Jian led Hu Bing as the vanguard, crossed the Liaoshui River to Jian'an City (northeast of today's Gaizhou), defeated the Goguryeo soldiers, and beheaded thousands of people.

The old man has already gone to Liaoshui with the army in person, that is to say, he needs to send part of the luggage and food directly to Liaoshui.

At this moment, the father-in-law is sitting there personally. After all, the first major battle of the Tang Dynasty against Goguryeo has already started vigorously on the front line of the Liaoshui River.

Facing this news, Cheng Chubi naturally didn't dare to neglect, left a part of the baggage, and continued to march towards Liaoshui with all his navy.

Standing on the deck, looking at the majestic waves of the sea, I heard Xue Rengui's stern voice.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw a hundred musketeers standing on the deck that was slightly undulating due to the waves, as motionless as a mountain.

Following the change of Xue Rengui's order, these musketeers changed various postures there, and some rushed directly to the side of the ship and set up their muskets.

Some took advantage of the cover of the things on the deck to retreat to the rear, but the flintlock guns in their hands were aimed steadily at the direction Xue Rengui was pointing at.

Looking at these musketeers who are still training hard at such a moment, Cheng Sanlang and a group of martial arts disciples are very relieved.

After all, this is a new army,

Li Shimin sat firmly in the big tent of the Chinese army. At this moment, he had placed the big tent of the Chinese army on the bank of the Liaoshui River. At this moment, 20,000 elite troops of the Tang Dynasty were presenting troops on the bank of the Liaoshui River.

On the other side of the Liaoshui River, there are three to forty thousand soldiers and horses of Goguryeo, as well as the soldiers and horses of the Mohe barbarians who surrendered to Goguryeo.

Now, the military **** of the Tang Dynasty, with beard and hair like snow, but still full of energy, is standing in front of the sand table, talking eloquently.

"...There are still more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong Jiancheng. If our army wants to take Liaodong Jiancheng, we must first destroy the Liaohe defense line of Goguryeo and cut off the interconnection between their cities..."

"Afterwards, another elite will be sent between Liaodong City and Baiyan City to prevent Goguryeo from aiding Liaodong. So..."

With the long pole in his hand, he kept pointing around the city of Liaodong where a striking white flag was planted.

As for the veteran generals of the Tang army, except for the leader, the others are all solemnly lined up around the sand table.

Li Shimin's expression was quite serious, just like those civil and military ministers present.

After hearing the analysis of the Great Tang Army God who insisted on accompanying the army to conquer Goguryeo regardless of his age, he nodded in agreement.

Seeing Li Shimin's actions, Li Jing, the military **** of the Tang Dynasty, bowed to Li Shimin, stepped aside, and handed over the speaking position to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"Most of you Qing's family have experienced the chaos in the last years of the previous dynasty, and the chaos in the last years of the previous dynasty is not unrelated to the three conquests of Goguryeo by Emperor Sui Yang."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin paused deliberately, letting the civil and military officials to recollect and recall the past.

And he spoke again in a calm tone. "The previous dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times, and broke the halberd twice under the Liaodong city."

"This is a disgrace to the previous dynasty~lightnovelpub.net~Although it is not unrelated to the fact that Emperor Yang of Sui was self-righteous and overjoyed, but he still sees the difficulty of obtaining Liaodong City."

"My dear friends, since the founding of our country in the Tang Dynasty, we have been invincible in all battles and invincible in all attacks. The strength of our country is still stronger than that of the previous dynasties. And the conquest of Goguryeo this time is even more famous."

Hearing Li Shimin's inspiring words, all the civil and military officials deeply agreed, and Li Jing also nodded frequently while stroking his long beard.

However, he held different opinions in his heart. How could there be so few famous generals in the previous dynasty? But after all, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in front of him was far superior to Yang Guang in terms of vision and military experience.

Therefore, the Great Tang conquest of Goguryeo has been prepared for many years, and this Liaodong City, no matter what, must be taken.

Otherwise, if this dynasty is like the previous dynasty, if it all falls under this Liaodong city, where will His Majesty's old face go? I'm afraid that I and others will have no face to go back to Luoyang to meet the fathers and folks of Datang.

Thinking of this, Li Jing couldn't help but sighed slightly, and raised his eyes to look at the emperor who was still talking about himself.
