Chapter 9: The Starry Night Raid

With a bit of a taste of blind marriage and dumb marriage, Li Qin informed Su Dingfang of the enemy he was facing and the general outline of the battle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Su Dingfang first listened in a trance, and then became extremely excited.

As long as there is a fight, he is happy, so after Li Qin said the general idea, he eagerly asked Li Qin: "How should we fight?" ”

"We're going to have a showdown with the Goryeo Army here." Li Qin compared to the Ferris Ridge on the map and said, "I have decided to make you the vanguard and rush to kill the Goryeo army for a while, causing their anger. Then you retreat and lead the Goryeo army into the mountain passes of the Sky Ridge. ”

Li Qin said as he gestured. As he spoke of defeat, he pointed his finger to the west on the huge map to signal the rout of his army.

"Goryeo is a long-term winner, and they will definitely not be suspicious when they see you defeated, they will definitely chase after you. I have laid an ambush in the dangerous place of the Sky Ridge, and as soon as the Goryeo people appear there, they will thunder and fire and send huge stones to cut the Goryeo army into several sections, and when the time comes, I will join forces with you and return to attack, and I will definitely be able to repel the Goryeo army. Li Qin pressed the map and clearly stated his tactics.

"It looks like it's troublesome!" Hearing Li Qin's complicated words, Su Dingfang frowned slightly: "Is it necessary to do this?" ”

"Don't be careless. Koreans are not soft persimmons! Li Qin solemnly warned Su Dingfang, "As generals, we can't rely on our own temperament to do things, we are the leaders of the soldiers, and we must be responsible for the lives of the soldiers." ”

"For those mud legs?" Su Dingfang pursed his lips: "Those people are also soldiers?" Su Dingfang did not fully agree with Li Qin's words.

However, Li Qin was the chief official, and he gave him a good impression in the previous actions, so he did not argue with Li Qin.

Instead, he muttered quietly and turned to leave.

The battle had begun in the evening, and it was already early afternoon, so there was not much time left for them.

They had to move quickly and prepare for the night battle.

All busy, each doing its own thing. When the preparations were almost completed, Li Qin ordered the army to prepare food at three o'clock in Youshi, send troops at two o'clock, and at the beginning of Haishi, extend the steep mountain road to reach Motianling.

At that time, the moonlight was misty, and under the faint moonlight and clear light, the people and a hundred elite cavalry of Li Qin's headquarters who had only been trained for half a month stood on the mountain road that was not spacious.

The mountain road of Motianling is steep and narrow, and as soon as Li Qin swings on the road, the huge mountain road is blocked tightly.

Facing the shady mountain wind, which was a little biting, and seeing that the mountain road was dangerous, Li Qin couldn't help but feel a little untouchable.

"If the Koreans build a pass here, I'm afraid it won't be useful for us to come." Li Qin's whispered words.

"Is it just that they need to set up a checkpoint here?" Su Dingye, who was following Li Qin, whispered in confusion: "This is their hinterland, is it necessary for them to spend manual time to set up checkpoints here?" ”

"Uh...... So to speak! Li Qin was stunned by the question, shook his head secretly, and smiled bitterly: "I think it's wrong...... By the way, your brother's cavalry has already arrived at the position, right? ”

"He's two miles ahead." Su Dingye nodded and replied.

He is Su Dingfang's brother. Li Qin only learned about this later. However, due to the traditional routine of disagreements within the big family, there is not much contact between Su Dingye and Su Dingfang. Although the two have not yet reached the point of enmity against each other, they are almost like strangers.

It's just that after knowing that Su Dingfang was sent to assist Li Qin, Su Dingye also whispered to Li Qin: "If you want to subdue Su Dingfang, you must be more patient with his temper." He was a little arrogant, but he was not a man who didn't know what to do. He values affection, as long as you subdue him, he will stick to you to death. ”

Although Su Dingye is a calm person, he is not a stupid person, and in Li Qin's recent mysterious actions, he can see that Li Qin is not as loyal to this court as he usually says.

But so what? The world is full of smoke, and there are people who claim to be kings and hegemons everywhere. Even if Li Qin wants to rebel, he will plan to follow to the end.

After all, he is the same as Feng Tianqing, they are all people from the bottom, it is rare that Li Qin is kind to him, and he attaches great importance to him, so he naturally has the intention of repaying the kindness of the country.

"Understood!" At that time, Li Qin smiled slightly, nodded gratefully, and whispered to Su Dingye: "You treat me with sincerity, I treat you with sincerity." You pay me with your life, and I promise you the future. ”

Su Dingye was moved by this, and the two of them were suitable for marrying a monarch here.

At this time, the night was deep and everything was quiet, and this was supposed to be the season of good sleep, but Li Qin turned it into a time of battle.

In the cold mountain wind, everyone waited here, just waiting for the front army to fight, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and then acted according to the plan.

While waiting, Li Qin's heart moved inexplicably, and he looked up at the sky, but saw that the moon was in the middle, and it was obvious that it was approaching the time of the child.

"At this point...... The two armies should meet in front. Li Qin muttered quietly, he felt that the time was almost up.

After all, the last news from Feng Tianqing this afternoon said that Yuan Taizuo was planning to march into Liaodong City overnight.

Since they were planning to march overnight, according to their normal marching speed, this point should have reached the mountain pass in front.

"Will there be any surprises?" Seeing that there was silence ahead, Li Qin couldn't help but guess.

However, he immediately felt that he was overthinking.

In the distant darkness, a long line of torches marched slowly to the west. Under the blue and black of the night, Li Qin couldn't see the banner of the people and horses clearly, but he estimated that it was Yuan Taizuo's 50,000 Goryeo soldiers.

There is no limit to the number of people!

That's true of 10,000 people, let alone 50,000!

After seeing the fire dragon stretching from a distance to the sky, as if people and horses were pouring out, Li Qin's heart also involuntarily lifted.

"Fifty thousand! I hope that Su Dingfang will not back down when the matter is approaching. Li Qin muttered secretly.

For this famous player in history, Li Qin still has expectations.

It's just that Su Dingfang can't feel such an expectation.

After discovering that the enemies that appeared in front of him were far more than five thousand, Su Dingfang's heart trembled a little.

"Damn, how can there be so many...... Can I eat such a big fish alone? Su Dingfang pondered for a moment, his face was cloudy and uncertain when he rode his horse in the dark, and he secretly doubted in his heart: "Is it Li Qin's guy who is framing me, or does he himself not know that there will be so many enemies?" ”

However, the urgency of time did not allow him to think too much.

The enemy has already come to the front of him, and even if he doesn't launch it, the other party will soon find out that he has a group of people.

"Forget it! Let's give it a go! Su Dingfang quickly made up his mind, "A dead bird will not die for thousands of years...... In life, where can there be so much foresight? ”

Su Dingfang thought about taking out a silver helmet from the back of the saddle and putting it on his head, took a deep breath of the cold night wind, and lifted the spear inserted in his side.

With the spear in his hand, his momentum was rising, although there was no special effect of the light flame manifestation, Su Dingfang did raise his fighting intent in every move.

He jerked the reins of the black cloud steal beneath him, causing the sturdy warhorse man to stand up and lean back with him.

Naturally, there was no roar in the mouth of the war horse, but Su Dingfang looked back because of this, lowered his voice and said to the Xiangyong soldiers who followed him to this battlefield: "Brothers, let's go and say hello to these damn Goryeo sticks, and let them know that the heavenly soldier grandfather of the Great Sui is here." ”

"Oh!" The soldiers behind Su Dingfang also lowered their voices and laughed, and they were also ready to charge the battle.

"Let's go!" Su Dingfang let out a low roar, the reins in his hand were loosened, and the spurs under his feet kicked the horse's belly lightly, and the sturdy black cloud horse suddenly galloped away in the direction of the torch like a whimpering black wind.

Su Dingfang took the lead, and the soldiers of Sujiazhuang behind him also followed his figure and rode forward after he made a move.

Five hundred elite horsemen burst into the darkness like five hundred ghosts, and pounced on the Goryeo army marching with torches.

The Koreans knew nothing about Li Chin's arrival. Yuan Taizuo, who was urging his sergeants to move forward as soon as possible, was only thinking about the things in Liaodong City.

Fu Cailin was attacked and injured, and this matter can be hidden from others, but it can't be hidden from him.

As the strongest person in the northern region of Goryeo, Yuan Taizuo naturally has many cronies in Liaodong City.

Although he was still on the march, after that incident, Hai Dongqing sent the information to Yuan Taizuo as a messenger.

"What? Master Fu was actually attacked and injured? Could it be that Ning Daoqi from the Central Plains made a move? It shouldn't be...... Hasn't that guy Ning Daoqi been following Jing Zhai all the time! Jing Zhai should have acquiesced in our behavior of beating Yang Guang, and they also helped us a lot in the rear, how could it be all at once! No, it shouldn't be Ning Daoqi's shot...... Could it be that there is a great martial arts master in the Central Plains? Hearing the news at first glance, Yuan Taizuo, who was dressed in a gorgeous set of fish scale gold armor, first didn't believe it, and then carried out a series of suspicions.

However, there is too little information sent by Hai Dongqing, and the news about Fu Cailin is just that. Yuan Taizuo knew that Fu Cailin was injured, but the injury was not too serious, only a few bones were broken, and a little flesh was lost.

This is all pure trauma, with Fu Cailin's cultivation as a martial arts master, it doesn't take him many days to recover from such trauma.

Yuan Taizuo was not worried about Fu Cailin's injury.

After making some random guesses and finding that he didn't know the essentials after all, Yuan Taizuo simply let go of such thoughts.

The fact that Fu Cailin was injured is a fact that is in the past tense.

Yuan Taizuo's next thought was how to use this fact to plan a little benefit for himself.

Like all Koreans, Yuan Taizuo was full of disgust and envy for the Great Sui. He hated the Great Sui and refused to take advantage of it for himself, and envied that the Great Sui had such a good anointed land in the world.

"Central Plains...... It's just too big. Da Sui is also too strong, but fortunately he is in chaos now. Otherwise, we're really not going to be okay! Yuan Taizuo was often frightened by this, and he sincerely hoped that the Great Sui or the Central Plains would continue to be chaotic, preferably like the Northern and Southern Dynasties and even earlier during the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Sixteen Kingdoms period.

"As long as the Central Plains continues to be chaotic. Perhaps, we in Goryeo will also have the day when we drink the Yellow River and throw the Yangtze River. Yuan Taizuo thought so.

Although he also understood that it was difficult, both he and Fu Cailin maintained a consistent attitude towards the actions of the Central Plains.

It's just that at the moment, he has some small differences with Fu Cailin.

In terms of the current attitude towards Dasui.

Fu Cailin thought that Goryeo was tired enough in the war with the Great Sui, and in the face of Yang Guang's madness, Goryeo should back down a little, give Yang Guang some sweetness in name, let him retreat, and give Goryeo a chance to breathe.

But Yuan Taizuo confirmed that the Great Sui was full of smoke, and Yang Guang had almost become a lone husband. Goryeo's side should dispatch elite soldiers and strong generals to give Yang Guang a fatal blow. If you can directly kill Yang Guang in the battle, it will be even better.

Compared with Fu Cailin, Yuan Taizuo is undoubtedly radical.

But this kind of radicalism was very much liked by the king of Goryeo.

"Defeat the Great Sui and then reign over the world!" The successive victories made the king of Goryeo a little crazy, and he had a delusion of inopportune time.

Although Fu Cailin had already given an "order" and asked the king of Goryeo to prepare the letter of state for the ministers and escort Hu Sizheng back to China, the crazy king of Goryeo still couldn't help the arrogance in his heart after flattering Fu Cailin's order, and ordered Yuan Taizuo to lead the troops to follow behind Fu Cailin and others to see if he could take the opportunity to take advantage of the Great Sui.

Regarding the king's order, Yuan Taizuo was also a little embarrassed.

But after receiving the news of Fu Cailin's injury, he felt that his hope had come again.

Fu Cailin is injured, he must recuperate, and he must not be able to take care of his injuries - this is Yuan Taizuo's opportunity.

"We must rush to Liaodong City as soon as possible! I have to take over everything there! Such an idea is the key to Yuan Taizuo's desperate and forced troops to march at night.

Although he also received relevant orders and knew that the Sui army had placed a partial army in the southeast of Liaodong City, his intelligence told him that this partial army only had a small number of about 1,000 people, and it was all a rabble composed of conscripts and people.

For such a force, Yuan Taizuo is not at ease.

He was convinced that this force simply could not and did not dare to attack him.

"As long as I pass Skyscraper Ridge as soon as possible...... I'll be able to see the walls of Liaodong City tomorrow morning. Yuan Taizuo thought so.

Suddenly, a shout of killing came from where the former army was, and Yuan Taizuo immediately saw the torches in front of him swaying chaotically.

"What's going on?" Yuan Taizuo was puzzled.

"Your Excellency the Minister of the East, the front army of our army has been attacked by enemy cavalry." Soon, someone reported the situation of the former army to Yuan Taizuo.

"Enemy troops? Where did the enemy forces come from? Yuan Taizuo didn't react for a while.

"Yes...... It's the Sui Army! The messenger replied in a panic.

"What!" Yuan Taizuo was shocked, and then became more and more angry: "The Sui army dares to scratch our tiger whiskers, don't they want to die?" You have to give them a little bit of color. ”

Yuan Taizuo thought about it, and then decided to personally lead the elite cavalry of 3,000 and take a look at the front army.
