The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

The army that conquered Goguryeo was overwhelming in Goguryeo. The outstanding talents who graduated from the Imperial Academy of Tang Dynasty each demonstrated their outstanding personal abilities in this war.

Because Su Dingfang told them directly that this war was their graduation assessment, and the better their performance, the greater their chances of being reused.

Under this motivation, almost everyone racked their brains and used various ingenious strategies to defeat the Goguryeo army and capture the city with the minimum number of troops.

Although Gu Shengan's personal ability was extraordinary, he was no match for the wolf-like and tiger-like army of the Tang Dynasty. He was beaten back and forth, and he kept retreating to one city after another.

……

Goguryeo is an important city.

After being ambushed by the Tang army and suffering heavy losses, Gu Shengan led the remaining 50,000 troops to retreat to Seoul and could not escape.

"This group of Tang troops are simply training our troops!"

In the handsome tent, Gu Shengan slapped his hand on the desk and said angrily. The continuous battles in the past few days made him feel exhausted mentally and physically, and he and his men became much thinner.

But these were nothing. He discovered that the Tang Army on the opposite side The leaders of each army are different. At the beginning, their ability to mobilize troops was very weak, but they became more and more skilled and grew up very quickly.

Moreover, there were several times when the army he led was already facing a desperate situation, but the Tang army was not right. They killed them all and deliberately let him live.

This was basically deliberately not killing them and using them as whetstones for the young generals!

This discovery made Gu Shengan feel extremely angry and humiliated, but also felt deeply Deeply powerless.

A powerful country could only be reduced to a whetstone in front of the Tang Dynasty.

He had originally advised the King of Goryeo not to participate in the Five Kingdoms' conquest of the Tang Dynasty, but the King of Goryeo did not listen to his advice. Insisting on sending troops, the result was the current catastrophe of annihilation of the country. If the Tang army was just powerful, the key was that the discipline was very strict.

Gu Shengan once wanted to use the atrocities committed by the Tang army in the city to seize the city. It aroused the indignation of the people across the country and set off a national war against the invasion.

However, the reports of the agents he sent to infiltrate those cities shocked him.

The Tang army did not infringe upon the people in the cities that had been captured. His actions did not harm the people in the city. From the generals to the soldiers, no one did anything that violated military discipline. They only killed the defenders who were still resisting and those who tried to resist. The discipline was so strict that it made people feel. Fear.

Soldiers are also weapons. The reason why the ancients said this is because every soldier in the army is just a component in the huge machine of the army. Therefore, after breaking the city, many armies will wantonly burn, kill, loot and release Beastiality.

A well-disciplined army is absolutely terrifying. Because of this, the ancient gods' idea of ​​inspiring the people of the country to resist was completely shattered. The

King of Goryeo was greedy for enjoyment and extorted money, which was not popular in the country, not to mention that he was still raping people recently. They recruited militiamen to replenish the army.

Under such circumstances, how could the people be resistant to the Tang army? At least the Tang army had done nothing to them. After carefully considering the current severe situation, Gu Shengan's eyes gradually became firm and he murmured He muttered:"We, Goguryeo, can no longer resist the Tang army. The only solution now is to ask for help from other countries."……"

"I must go back to the royal city and ask the king to ask for help from other countries!"

……

……

The Goguryeo front was advancing steadily, but the Persian Empire front was a little anxious.

The Persian Empire's resistance was extremely strong. Before the Tang army attacked, the Persian emperor captured a large number of civilians and slaves to join the army.

The Persian Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and the Great Food Kingdom had the largest number of people among all the countries.

The Persian Empire is still a slave system. The aristocracy has exclusive power and controls 90% of the country's wealth. It has an obvious pyramid class structure with an extremely strict hierarchy.

The last time the Five Kingdoms conquered the Tang Dynasty, although the Persian Empire lost 200,000 elite troops, the most important thing they lacked in the country was people, or slaves.

The Persian Empire had a population of nearly over 10 million, and a large part of them were slaves. Slaves did not have any human rights in the Persian Empire and were no different from pigs and dogs.

The Persian Empire directly recruited over a million slave soldiers to fight against the Tang army. They did not care about human life at all. The process of fighting the Tang army was completely filled with the lives of slave soldiers.

Even ten or even a dozen slaves were exchanged for one Tang army, which was worth it in the eyes of the Persian Empire generals.

This method of fighting caused great resistance to the Tang army, because it was impossible for the Tang army to exchange the lives of its soldiers for those slave soldiers.

……

Persian Empire Front.

After another failed attack on the border of the Persian Empire, Li Jing summoned all the generals to discuss countermeasures

"Your Majesty has entrusted us with the important task of attacking the Persian Empire, but now we are blocked at a small borderland!"

Li Jing slammed the table and said angrily.

In this war, several outstanding talents from the Royal Academy of the Tang Dynasty were placed under his command. He originally wanted to train these talents, so he did not use gunpowder and other large-scale weapons.

But now that the Persian Empire is using the lives of slaves to block the army's attack, his patience has been exhausted.

"Send the order, storm the border tomorrow, and throw the gunpowder barrel to clear the way! Flatten all obstacles!"

Li Jing's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he no longer hesitated.

Hearing this, the generals in the tent were all shocked. They had all experienced the Five Kingdoms' campaign to conquer the Tang Dynasty, and had seen the terrifying power of gunpowder. The million-strong army was wiped out in smoke. It was a scene they would never forget in their hearts.

Only the young generals who had just participated in the war looked puzzled. They didn't know what a powder keg was.

But they soon knew it.

On the second day, under Li Jing's order, the Tang army used catapults to throw hundreds of explosive barrels with thunderbolts tied to the barrels onto the border wall of the Persian Empire.

This was an extremely gorgeous and bloody fireworks.
