Chapter 50: Two Cities in a Row
The Goguryeo people guessed Zou Yu's intentions wrong, and although the city was not surrounded, there were still 15,000 warriors on the periphery.
"Woohoo!" Dogs barked one after another in the mountains, and the torches reflected in the soldiers, following the dogs to search the woods.
Now there are more than 500 dogs just one or two years old in Buyeo City, and after continuous training, they help guard the mining area on a large scale, as a guard and patrol. The others were brought in this time, just to prevent anyone from escaping.
Liu Renliang likes these dogs the most, there are two or three hundred, and he personally groped and trained, so he is one of the main forces to guard the periphery.
The fighters are stationed on the periphery, and only when the dogs find out about the situation, they will start searching, so it is not troublesome, after all, in this weather, it is not easy to escape.
In Duovayue City, the battle lasted until midnight before it was basically over, and to Zou Yu's surprise, according to statistics, there were nearly 20,000 guards in the city, which was really surprising.
The search, the interrogation, the orderly arrangement of things, and the centralized custody of the prisoners, these things were almost completed until dawn, and then the whole city was searched again, and the prisoners were pressed to collect the corpses in the city and carry the spoils of war.
In a battle, 6,000 enemies were killed, more than 9,000 prisoners were captured, and several thousand escaped from the city, because I didn't expect so many enemies, Buyeo City was killed and wounded nearly 1,000 people, but the harvest was also very gratifying, more than 20,000 people had food for the winter, and enough weapons to equip 20,000 people, plus the weapons collected, all of a sudden, the weapons of the Buyeo City army were sufficient.
There were 500 war horses, 500,000 arrows, siege equipment, leather armor, iron ore, salt, cloth, and a lot of them, and the interrogation of the prisoners learned that Goguryeo had already had the intention of attacking Buyeo City, and after the end of the war with the Sui Dynasty, in pacifying the country, at the same time transferring troops and materials, planned to attack Buyeo City, in order to deter some of the surrounding neighbors who were ready to move.
This part of the people was mobilized, planning to kill Fuyu City by surprise after the beginning of spring, so so many supplies and soldiers were prepared here.
After hearing this, Zou Yu and the others secretly rejoiced, if they were really suddenly attacked by Goguryeo, I am afraid that the loss would be really not small, at least the villages and pastures that had been made in the past two years would have huge losses, not including Goguryeo's subsequent attack.
If one is not good, I'm afraid they will have to wander again, and now that they know the news in advance, there will be more room for operation.
After waiting for another two days, the peripheral army collected its troops, captured two thousand, killed three thousand, and left the rest alone, and the chances of surviving were very small.
"I'll leave it to you here, after the beginning of spring, when the snow melts, it will be when reinforcements arrive." Zou Yu said with his fists clenched.
"Brother Zou, don't worry, there are 10,000 troops here, Goguryeo will not come to attack the city with 100,000 people, don't want to take down here." Han Qianxun assured.
After discussion, it was decided to stay with Han Qianxun, Zhang Zhongjian and Mo Hui until the beginning of spring, after all, there is no way to send away the prisoners and materials here, and the terrain here is superior, it would be too stupid to give up.
Goguryeo didn't know that Dova Yue had fallen, and when the time came, he could make some articles, and as for how much he could earn, it didn't matter, after all, he could earn a little, and he would earn it.
Davayue City was nailed here, and if Goguryeo wanted to attack Buyeo City, it would have to leave at least tens of thousands of guards behind, which could also reduce the pressure on the front.
Leaving 5,000 warriors in Dovayue, Hei Sumei took 4,000 people back to Buyeo City, while Liu Jin and his son took 1,000 soldiers and more than 300 dogs to clean up the Great Wall of Goguryeo and pull out those nails as much as possible, not to occupy the Great Wall, but to make trouble for Goguryeo, so that they could not stop, giving them a feeling that there were enemies everywhere, which was also discussed at zero time.
Zou Yu and Qin Qiong, Su Dingfang, and Fangzheng, the two brothers, will attack again, this time to attack the new city outside Babaili, one east and one west, and fight two cities, especially the new city, close to the Central Plains, which will create a false impression to Goguryeo that the Sui Dynasty is going to attack again, after all, except for Zou Yu, everyone thinks that Yang Guang is likely to continue to attack Goguryeo.
More than 800 miles, if it is a cavalry, under the attack, it can be reached in three days, and the skiing is on the road, and it takes six days to walk.
Xincheng as a city in the border pass of Goguryeo, the construction is still very strong, the city wall is as high as more than two zhang, but this is difficult to people, long for the snow sneak attack, ready to find a remote corner, rope end, put on a long wooden stick, throw on the city, stuck on the battlements of the city wall, and then climb up along the city wall.
Sneak attacks have become commonplace, even the Khitans who think they are warriors, they are not tired of it, after all, one victory after another, this is the most exciting, even if the death of the battle is rich, it is not as good as living to get a reward.
Maybe it's because of the end of the war, or maybe it's because of the winter, there are not many guards in the new city, and it didn't take much effort to completely occupy this place, this not small fortified city, there are only more than 23,000 people, of which only 3,000 are real guards, 10,000 people, and 10,000 people in the city.
What makes people excited is that Xincheng is actually the granary of Goguryeo to the front, even if it is only the grain stored this year, it is amazing enough, think about it, after all, they want to prevent another war at the beginning of next year, and it is impossible for the war to start, so they will mobilize from the rear.
"How can you transport so much food back?" Fang Zhi asked in embarrassment.
The new city is no better than Davaak, and the nearest city is only less than a hundred miles away, and once Goguryeo gets the news, it is likely that it will be forced to clear the road and come to attack, so it is impossible to stay and wait for the spring to be transported.
This is also something that Zou Yu didn't expect, he didn't think about long-term occupation at the beginning, so he let go of a lot of people, and the news will definitely leak out.
"Brother Su, Brother Shubao, please bring people and pull out the stronghold of the nearby Great Wall, we have to make Goguryeo not know where the people are and how many people are coming, I will try to take things away as much as possible." Zou Yu rubbed his forehead and said.
"Good!" Qin Qiong and the others nodded in agreement.
"By the way, bring more food and let the soldiers eat it openly." Zou Yu admonished.
"Hey, hey! No problem. Su Dingfang laughed.
"Fang Zheng, you lead people to guard, patrol, Fang Zhi, you gather all the people in the city, make all the food, make it into military food, remember, as long as the best part, the rest is distributed to the people in the city, let them work hard during this time, let them eat.
In addition, the iron was melted into an iron plate, and when we walked, we carried one piece back on each of our chests and backs. Zou Yu continued to order.
"Understood!"
"Good!" The two Fangzheng brothers received the order and went out to arrange it closely.
