Chapter 638: Night Attack
Even in the camp on the right, Yuan Chang and Guo Jia seemed to be able to feel the excitement of the generals of the Five Kingdoms. In this regard, Yuan Chang and the others just smiled and didn't take it too seriously.
"My lord, I think tonight we should beware of enemy attacks on the camp. ”
"Oh, Feng Xiao thinks that Gao Delu will send someone to sneak attack tonight?" Yuan Chang looked surprised, but he did not question Guo Jia's thoughts, history has long proved Guo Jia's ability, right.
"Strategist, I... I think you're too worried, Goguryeo is scared by the lord, where do you dare to go out of the city. Dian Wei was on the side, but said with a disdainful face.
"Oh, Hong Fei, don't you want to gamble?"
"Uh..."
Dian Wei looked at Guo Jia with a treacherous expression, and finally gave up the idea of provoking Guo Jia. We are honest people, how can we gamble in the army, well, that's the truth.
Guo Jia turned his head to look at Yuan Chang, and said: "From the moment our army entered the territory of Goguryeo, Goguryeo retreated into the city and did not dare to fight with our army. Therefore, the whole army of our army has already given birth to the idea that Goguryeo does not dare to go out of the city to fight. Gao Jianchang has been taken, and now the commander of the army in the city is Gao Jianchang's younger brother Gao Jianwu, who has heard that this person has some strategy, he must know that our army has arrogance, and will definitely suggest to Gao Delu to attack our army at night. Therefore, Jia thought that he had to guard against it. If nothing happens, it is best, and if the enemy dares to come, let them lose their troops. ”
"Well, what Feng Xiao said is very true, if you hadn't mentioned it, even I would have decided in my heart that Gao Delu would not dare to go out of the city to fight our army. Someone comes, and the order goes down..."
……
Inside the palace of Marutsu Castle
Gao Delu was dressed in a golden dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair, his face was full of majesty, showing the demeanor of a king. Of course, no one knows that Gao Delu has fallen into a state of semi-madness and may go crazy at any time. In front of Gao Delu, a person wearing armor, wearing a helmet, and a long sword at his waist was Gao Jianchang's younger brother Gao Jianwu. Gao Jianchang was captured by Yuan Chang in Youzhou, and later Yuan Chang had Gao Jianchang sent back to Goguryeo and asked him to bring a letter to Gao Delu to conquer Goguryeo. Subsequently, Gao Jianchang was imprisoned on the charge of unfavorable command, and then Goguryeo's soldiers and horses were taken over by his brother Gao Jianchang.
"My king, the last general thinks that tonight is a good time to attack the camp. Gao Jianchang bowed and said with a solemn face.
"Oh, why did Jianchang say that?"
Gao Delu sat on the dragon chair, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, and after listening to Gao Jianchang's words, he just asked lightly.
"Previously, Yuan Chang and the army of the Six Nations were in full swing, so our army avoided fighting. After several times, Yuan Chang and the soldiers and horses of the Six Nations must have been arrogant, thinking that our army would not dare to fight them head-on. Therefore, the last general thought that the enemy's defense would be slackened, and if he went out of the city tonight to attack, he might be able to defeat him and relieve the siege of the capital of Imaru. If the situation is good, maybe our army can take advantage of the victory to pursue and recover the fallen city in one fell swoop, and it is not impossible to counterattack Youzhou. ”
Gao Jianchang's strategy is good, of course, the premise of all this is based on the fact that Yuan Chang and they are not on guard. It's a pity that Gao Jianchang didn't know that Guo Jia had already seen through all this, and his actions must have failed.
"Good!"
After Gao Delu listened to Gao Jianchang's words, he suddenly stood up and shouted. I saw him walk in front of Gao Jianchang in a few steps, and said impassionedly: "If Jianchang succeeds in your trip, you will be my hero of Goguryeo, and his name will go down in history and will be famous for centuries." Jianchang and this king are a family, not to mention the superfluous, Goguryeo will have to rely on Jianchang to support you in the future. ”
"The last general will live up to the high hopes of my king!"
Gao Jianchang clasped his fists and saluted, turned around and walked out of the palace resolutely to arrange the attack on the camp tonight. And after Gao Jianchang left, Gao Delu's face regained indifference again, and his eyes looked in the direction of the outside of the city, and no one could see what was going on in his heart.
"Squeak!"
In the middle of the night, the closed gate of Marudu Castle suddenly opened, and the sound of the door opening was somewhat clear in this silent night. However, Yuan Chang's army was stationed five miles away, and this voice could not reach that far. So, you don't have to worry about being heard by the enemy.
"Don't make a lot of noise, go ahead!"
"The horse's mouth is wrapped well, and no noise must be made, otherwise it will be dealt with according to military law!"
"After defeating the enemy army, you will be my heroes of Goguryeo! You will be remembered by the people of Goguryeo for generations to come!"
After the leading generals whispered encouragement and comfort, the Goguryeo soldiers who went out of the city to attack the camp suddenly became excited. Although Goguryeo is just a small land, the people of Goguryeo have a great sense of superiority and think that the whole world should be their Goguryeo. I didn't see that the surrounding countries were all whispering in front of their Goguryeo people. Of course, they all subconsciously forgot that there was also a big country in the Central Plains, and they Goguryeo were not even worthy of the qualifications to carry shoes. However, perhaps this is their inferior nature flowing in their bones, and it has been passed down to future generations.
After the army finished leaving the city, Gao Jianwu walked to the front of the team, looked at these soldiers with a faint gaze, and didn't say anything, but his expression already said everything. Although there are only 20,000 soldiers, however, the soldiers are expensive but not many, if there are too many soldiers and horses in the night attack, it is not a good thing, perhaps because there are too many people to control, 20,000 soldiers are just right, as long as the other party is defenseless, the attack on the camp is successful, 20,000 soldiers and horses are enough to destroy everything. In fact, Gao Jianwu also knew that defeating the enemy army was already the best result, and as for the counterattack on Youzhou, it was just nonsense. With Goguryeo's troops, it is still said that it is the past to take advantage of it, as for the army facing the Central Plains head-on, Gao Jianwu is not a fool, where would he not know that this is an impossible thing. The reason why he said that in front of Gao Delu was just to strengthen Gao Delu's confidence, lest Gao Delu hesitate and miss the great opportunity to attack the camp.
"The whole army attacked, the scouts paid attention to the enemy's situation, and reported at any time. After approaching the enemy camp for 500 paces, the cavalry immediately began to charge!"
With Gao Jianwu's order, the 20,000 Goguryeo soldiers who attacked the battalion began to advance cautiously. At a distance of five miles, the infantry can reach it in just over a quarter of an hour on a rapid march, and the cavalry will only have a stick of incense. However, now that it is an attack on the camp, the movement naturally cannot be too big. The scouts inquired in front of them, and then passed back the collected information one by one, and everything went as usual, and the army soon approached the position of the enemy camp at a distance of 500 paces.
"Everyone, whether you can keep Goguryeo and protect your wives and sons depends on this battle, in order to protect our homeland and protect our children, kill it!"
At this moment, Gao Jianwu no longer needed to continue to hide, and with a roar, the cavalry began to charge.
