Li Shimin was already standing on the wall of Baichakou City, not far below the city was the largest wharf on the Yalu Water: Baichakou Ferry.

At this moment, the Baichakou Ferry has erected the banner of Tang Yanhong, which is blowing violently against the wind.

And on the surface of the Yalu water hundreds of steps wide, warships of the Dengzhou Navy of the Tang Dynasty were cruising back and forth on the water surface in full swing.

As for Goguryeo's warship, either it has sunk underwater, or it is already shivering in a dark corner.

But at this moment, on the east bank of the Yalu River, nearly two miles away from the water bank, countless Goguryeo people, like a group of hardworking ants, are piled up to build the city wall.

The reason why they are so far away is not because the artillery of the Dengzhou Navy of the Tang Dynasty is too brutal.

If you get closer, you will easily be hit by the artillery of the Datang Navy. Even if you miss, it will definitely scare people to death.

"Yuan Gai Suwen's move is completely a death struggle..."

Li Daozong, standing beside Li Shimin, said contemptuously.

"But those Goguryeo people, if they don't do anything, just stay in a daze, for fear that something will go wrong, they might as well do something."

Li Shimin listened to the chirping and chirping of the Tang civil and military officials around him, and his heart seemed very relaxed.

Although there was a small accident when attacking Baichaokou City at the beginning, the battle to capture Baichaokou City later went quite smoothly.

After all, their chief general was sprayed to death by the impermanence in white clothes immediately, and several Goguryeo generals also died under the guns of those Datang musket cavalry who pierced through Yang at a hundred paces.

The Goguryeo soldiers and horses who lost their command were ravaged again by the Tang Dynasty's artillery fire, so they could only open the city and surrender in disgrace.

Speaking of it, it didn't take long to capture Baichakou City. What really took time was to put out the fire caused by the artillery hit in the city, and to clean up the ruins after the fire in the city was extinguished.

All in all, Li Shimin, who has been a soldier for more than half a year, was not used to this hot weapon warfare mode from the very beginning.

Now that they have started to enjoy and enjoy it, even a group of military officials of the Great Tang Dynasty have begun to discuss in private how to make the best use of these artillery pieces.

This is of course a good sign, and what's more, Xue Rengui and his Musketeer Cavalry Battalion are as popular as those artillery.

If we say that everyone's mentality was similar to Li Shimin's before, they felt that the fire stick-like thing was inferior to artillery in range, and its power was inferior to grenades.

It can be regarded as a very tasteless thing, but after Cheng Sanlang's blood-sucking mosquito tactics showed great power in the battle of the unknown town.

Everyone suddenly discovered, ouch, this thing can be used in this way.

Ever since, these days, the gang of Wu Xun officials often talked and laughed with Xue Rengui, and asked him how to use the musket.

So much so that these days, whenever they are free, there are always a large number of Tang military officials outside the city who are happy to go to the training camp of the Musketeers.

They even took turns to get started, to feel the sharpness and recoil of the musket.

Even Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and a master of archery, asked Xue Rengui for a musket in private to practice quietly by himself.

I also really want to come to the wonderful scene of killing the enemy with a single shot hundreds of steps away.

However, after experiencing the changes in Baijiakou City, I am afraid that if I want to get close to the enemy again, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a chance.

However, there are a lot of old forests in Liaodong, and there are many ferocious beasts on the mountain, so it is not impossible to go back and get a few shots in the name of hunting.

"Now my Great Tang Dengzhou Navy has arrived, Your Majesty, shouldn't we launch an offensive as soon as possible?"

"It's better to wait for a while, and then attack after the follow-up soldiers and horses are in place."

"After all, although there is a navy to respond, if the back road is not stable, and our Tang Dynasty's attack on Goguryeo is on the verge of failure, then it will be a loss..."

Just when Li Shimin and a group of ministers were instructing the other side to plan and discuss the short-term strategy, a gallop came, bringing the news that Ma Zhou and Li Jing had returned hand in hand.

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and after chatting with a group of officials, he patted his **** and walked away, just before leaving the city.

He also took a special look at the prisoner-of-war camp outside the city. In that prisoner-of-war camp, nearly 10,000 Baichao soldiers were still being held.

#####

"I thought that the two Qing families would stay in Liaodong City for a while, but I didn't expect you to come back so quickly."

Li Shimin looked at the two dusty confidantes and said with a warm smile.

"Your Majesty, the area around Liaodong Prefecture is safe and sound, and all businesses are gradually recovering.

It is useless for me to wait for a long time. Both the minister and Li Weigong felt that it would be better to come here earlier and report the affairs of Liaodong Prefecture to His Majesty. "

Hearing these words, Li Shimin always felt that these two seemed to have a lot to talk about, so he picked up his energy and picked up the tea bowl.

After thinking about it, he quickly put down the tea bowl and listened to Cheng Sanlang's story. It is best not to have other foreign objects or sundries in his mouth.

Otherwise, it is easy to embarrass people. This is the lesson that the emperor of Tang Dynasty has learned for a long time.

In the end, it was Li Jing who spoke first, but Li Shimin was taken aback by Li Jing's first sentence.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Sanlang...a good method. Originally, the old minister was worried that there would be too many prisoners of war, and it would be easy for our army to be unstable."

"As a result, it seems that the tens of thousands of prisoners of war fell into his hands, as if he had sent him tens of thousands of labor."

"...Oh? Where did Lao Aiqing say this?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was relieved when he saw Ma Zhou nodding his head frequently, but his doubts grew more and more.

Listening to this, the prisoners of war who were sent back and forth~lightnovelpub.net~ were all regarded as laborers by Cheng Sanlang and started working. Isn't the kid worried about their rebellion?

Fortunately, after Li Jing cleared his throat, he began to express and explain Cheng Sanlang's various coquettish operations one by one with a strange expression.

Hearing this emperor of the Tang Dynasty couldn't laugh or cry, he frequently wiped his face. This son-in-law is indeed the king of monsters in the Tang Dynasty.

The flamboyance of the means and the clarity of the brain are definitely beyond everyone's expectations, but you have to admit that as long as these tricks are used well, the effect is absolutely awesome.

After all, this was witnessed by Ma Zhou and Li Jing.

"As expected of the old man's favorite son-in-law, he even played tricks with the prisoners of war. In this way, the more than ten thousand prisoners of war outside the city of Baichaokou will have a place to go."

Li Shimin stroked his long beard in high spirits and sighed with relief. I finally understand why the kid is not afraid of too many prisoners of war, but only of not enough prisoners of war.

"Play POW..."
