Chapter 459 Dialogue across the river

Gai Yuan Suwen's plan completely went bankrupt. Although 50,000 people were captured, there were too many old, weak, sick and disabled people, and they did not have much fighting capacity.

As for the other people around, they have now received the news, and they all ran south with their families, or ran directly into the mountains and forests. Although Gaiyuan Suwen ordered the pass to intercept, except for the pass, People can still leave other places, as long as they risk their lives, it doesn't matter if they travel through the mountains.

Some people ran directly to the beach. Although they only had a few small boats and did not have much navigation ability on the sea, they were still much better than the current situation. As long as they were captured by those soldiers, would you still have a way to survive? At least I can still fight at sea.

After Li Xiang heard the news, he really didn't know what to say. Some people always said that Gai Yuansu Wen was a smart man, but how could he do such a thing? Now we haven't waited for the attack. You have to kill 20,000 people first. The most important thing is to scare away the people around you. If you don't have the support of the people during the war, then you are fighting away from home. .

When the Tang army came here, there was no support from the common people. Li Xiang was still thinking about how to resolve this advantage of Goguryeo. Unexpectedly, we don’t have to think about this problem anymore. Gaiyuan Suwen has solved it for you. If Goguryeo is captured, Gaiyuan will Yuan Suwen is really the first to contribute!

"Your Highness, there are many people on the opposite side of the river. Please go and take a look."

When Li Xiang was studying in the tent, his scouts came over. It was already very cold outside at this time of year. The weather was below zero at night, but it could still reach above zero during the day, so it was okay. Li Xiang didn't go out. Isn’t it better to read a book by the fire in the tent than outside?

After hearing the report from his men, Li Xiang immediately asked someone to carry the horse, and then called Niu Jinda and the others to see what Gai Yuan Suwen was up to.

When they came to the riverside, they could vaguely see a row of people standing opposite. They were slapping the river water hard with their weapons.

“Are these guys trying to prevent us from crossing the river in this way?”

Niu Jinda looked at them like fools.

The other people also looked in disbelief. Thin ice has appeared in the river these days, and the Goguryeo people actually used weapons to break the ice. But the weather is not too cold these days, so you can still break it. When the weather gets cold, it will be half a meter thick. Do you still have the ability? What's more, we are not attacking now. I really don't know who gave them the idea.

"Do whatever you want. Now they are standing on the edge of a cliff. No matter what kind of person's idea they come up with, it is like the last straw. Seize it first and then talk about it."

Li Xiang said with a smile, "Thousands of people are lapping the water on the other side of the river. It's impossible for the water to freeze even if the temperature is above zero during the day. It's best for you to be here at night."

But human power is limited after all. Even if you keep beating here, the entire river may freeze. Although the area in front of you may not freeze, the river upstream will also freeze. You can Keep the entire Datong River from freezing? If this is the case, it is estimated that millions of people will have to come. Are there such people in Goguryeo?

"Ballista."

Everyone heard Li Xiang say this unexpectedly, and they didn't know what Li Xiang wanted to do, but four ballistae were already lined up behind them.

Li Xiang just wanted to tease these people. Aren't you working on the riverside? Then I will give you a few good shots. In the current situation, no matter what you want to do, we will have to do you a disservice.

"Freedom to fire at targeted groups."

After Li Xiang gave the order, four artillery shells immediately took off into the air. The river surface was about two hundred meters away. There was no difficulty for the ballistae and it could explode directly into their crowd.

Only four shells were used, and thousands of people on the opposite side acted like crazy, shouting loudly that the Tang army was attacking. They threw away their weapons, and some even took off their clothes, like crazy. They ran backwards. The troops behind them didn't understand what was going on, so they also ran behind them and trampled to death an unknown number of people.

"With this kind of thing, if we can't win against Goguryeo this time, we really won't be able to see the elders in the capital."

Su Dingfang saw clearly that two years ago, Goguryeo's army was still very elite. Although it was far from the most elite of our Tang Dynasty, if they really met on the battlefield, it would never be like this. Fighting is like harvesting. In fact, Goguryeo's defeat has already been decided. When His Highness Taisun's plan to defeat Goguryeo came out, their defeat was already decided.

"Now I hate that the weather is not cold enough. As long as the weather is cold enough, when it freezes to a certain level, we can rush over directly. No matter who is guarding the other side, I believe they don't have much ability. People's hearts It’s useless for anyone to guard us if we break up.”

Niu Jinda went down and knocked on the ice on our side, and there was a small hole. The ice is still very thin now, and it only gets a little thicker at night, so the army can't get through.

Gai Yuansu Wen also heard about what happened by the river, so he didn't dare to slack off. He quickly brought his men over to see if the Tang army was really going to kill them. When he came over, he also saw Li Xiang's car was driving opposite.

"May I ask if the person opposite you is His Highness the Grandson of the Tang Dynasty?"

Across the river hundreds of meters away, if Gai Yuan Suwen wanted to convey these words, he had to shout loudly. When he heard someone speaking on the other side, the soldiers on our side also shut their mouths. Although It wasn't very clear, but it was vaguely audible.

"It's the same old trick again, let's go back."

Gai Yuan Suwen must have wanted to talk to Li Xiang, but Li Xiang ignored him. In front of tens of thousands of soldiers from both armies, Li Xiang whipped up his riding whip and returned directly with his men. The military camp is over.

The corner of Gai Yuan Suwen's mouth twitched. This boy is really crazy. He is also a powerful minister of Goguryeo, no worse than you royal children, but he didn't even give him a chance to speak.

The soldiers of Goguryeo also saw this scene, and they felt bad in their hearts. As expected, the Tang Dynasty did not give them a chance to surrender, as the rumors said, but is there any hope for us to continue to resist? Think about the powerful weapon just now, how can we defend against it?
