Chapter 264: None Left
About an hour or so, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and a group of civil and military officers were patrolling Danfeng City, and in the sky, there seemed to be the sound of an eagle roaring in the sky.
Everyone looked up at a small black dot flying in the distance, the small black dot was getting bigger and bigger, and after a while, a vigorous eagle circled over the city, Wei Chigong squinted his eyes and said, "Fang Shuai, the eagle is from the south." ”
"Your Highness has won." Fang Xuanling's eyes froze, and his sword eyebrows flew obliquely into a few strands of black hair under the corners of his sideburns, and his star-like eyes flashed with a deep and shocking look.
"Won't it?"
Everyone was surprised, and Zuo Tiancheng said: "Yesterday, His Royal Highness sent a letter, saying that it would attack the city today, Pyongyang City is high and deep, strong and tall, how can it be down in one day?" ”
"General Zuo has not had much contact with His Highness, and I don't know His Highness's ability, which is understandable!" A trace of reverence flashed in Fang Xuanling's eyes, and he said solemnly: "My Great Sui Guozuo was able to persist and become the number one force in the world, and the credit goes to His Royal Highness, and it is normal for His Highness to capture a strong city in one day." ”
Zuo Tiancheng looked around in shock, but saw that everyone nodded one after another.
At this moment, a guard ran over and respectfully presented a sealed copper pipe: "Fang Shangshu, Your Highness has a letter!" ”
Fang Xuanling took the copper pipe, looked at the intact seal, scraped off the ink, took out the letter and saw that there were only four words on it: "Pyongyang has been slaughtered".
"How?"
"Fang Shuai, what did His Highness say?"
“……”
Everyone asked.
Fang Xuanling took a deep breath and said, "There are only four words on the letter. That is, 'Pyongyang has been slaughtered'! ”
"'Pyongyang has been slaughtered'?"
As soon as Fang Xuanling's words came out, the city was in an uproar.
"Not bad!" Fang Xuanling took the note and handed it to Deng Wei beside him.
Everyone took a closer look!
Sure enough, the words 'Pyongyang has been slaughtered' were written on the note, and the handwriting was magnificent, the bones were strong and awe-inspiring, and the pride of looking at the world jumped on the paper.
"This is His Royal Highness's word, ordinary people can imitate its shape, but it does not have this imperial momentum." Du Ruhui, who joined the army in the book, looked at it and said movingly.
"Why didn't Your Highness write about the process of conquering?"
"His Highness handed over the Northern Route Army to us, and he will not influence us with his own will, this is his style of life and work." Fang Xuanling smiled slightly, and said emphatically: "It is the luck of our courtiers to have such a monarch!" Being in the same era as His Royal Highness is also the misfortune of all princes! ”
"Fang Shuai, let's attack the city!"
"Yes!"
At this time, the generals also understood the intention of Yang Tong's letter, and a 'Pyongyang has been slaughtered' is ostensibly talking about the results of the war, but in fact it is spurring and urging.
In an instant, the generals were aroused to high morale,
"Yuwen craftsman, Li Shilang! Stop making siege equipment now! Tonight, a dam was built upstream to divert water from the ducks to irrigate the plain to prevent the Goguryeo people from fleeing north. Fang Xuanling ordered.
"Whoa!" Yuwen Wen and Li Chun took the order and left.
And Deng Wei was a little worried: "Fang Shuai, the last general thinks it's better to do a little." After all, Zhuhan City is tall and sturdy, and with more equipment, the advantage is greater. ”
"Haha!" Fang Xuanling suddenly laughed proudly, pointed to Zhuhan City in the white mist and in the distance, and said, "No need! The key to breaking Seoul is not these devices. Ten thousand Turkic slaves were enough to conquer the fortified city. ”
"Wei Chigong." Fang Xuanling shouted again.
"The last general!" Wei Chigong immediately stood up.
"Once the engineer battalion of Yuwen General Zuo and Li Shilang stops, Goguryeo must think that our army's equipment is enough, and tonight will definitely send people who dare to die to burn and destroy, I order you to take 8,000 slave soldiers to ambush outside the city of Zhuhan, if the Goguryeo army goes out of the city, you just let them leave, wait for them to 'return victorious', and wait for the defenders to put down the drawbridge! You immediately enter the city, and taking the gates is the first achievement. ”
"Whoa!" Wei Chi complimented, and then asked: "There are four gates in Zhuhan City, which city should the last general go to?" ”
"Westside." Fang Xuanling said.
"It's... Xicheng is the closest to us, how could Goguryeo come from here? I thought it would be Dongcheng. Wei Chigong was stunned,
"Etoji Wende must have come out of Dongcheng!" Fang Xuanling smiled slightly and explained: "Ezhi Wende is a scoundrel, who used the holy order of the first emperor 'If Goguryeo surrenders, it is advisable to accept it, and no arson', he went to the military camp alone to deceive and surrender, and found out that our army did not have much food and grass, and then laid out a lot of calculations to bury my 300,000 troops of the Great Sui in Sashui. From this, a name of 'God of War' was obtained. ”
As soon as he said the god of war, Fang Xuanling scoffed, the real god of war has not been tempered in countless wars, and if he has this title in just one beautiful battle, the god of war is too cheap. However, Yizhi Wende is indeed a tricky character, Fang Xuanling has studied his family history and has a characterization of him: "Yizhi Wende is ambitious, and he dares to fight, and his biggest characteristic is to sacrifice others to fulfill himself." In the first battle of Goguryeo launched by the first emperor, Eulji Wende and Gao Jianwu were in charge of the southern defense line, in order to achieve the goal of annihilating the 400,000 land and water army of our Great Sui, he gave General Laihu'er seven great victories, a big victory sacrificed more than 10,000 soldiers, sacrificed 70,000 people is not enough, and finally even the outer city of Pyongyang was sacrificed by him, if the people of Goguryeo are counted, the number of Goguryeo losses is not less than 400,000, this is his vicious side! On the cautious side, it was manifested in the process of Yuwenshu and others withdrawing their troops, at that time, he could have carried out a water attack plan in Hunshui, but he was not at ease, and let my Great Sui Army retreat to Sashui, during which countless Goguryeo people were killed by my Great Sui general! It can be said that this is a person who can sacrifice everything to achieve his goals. Now in order to destroy the siege equipment of our army, he must have sent people to send him to death, and in order to defend the city of Zhuhan, it is reasonable to come from Dongcheng in a circle. ”
The crowd was impressed.
"But Fang Shuai, since Goguryeo will come out of the eastern city, why let the last general go to the western city to guard?" Yu Chixue wondered.
"General Wei Chi, don't worry. I have a way to get the Goguryeo people to open the west gate and welcome you into the city. ”
Fang Xuanling's gaze swept towards a sturdy and burly man, this person's bronzed skin, big face with Chinese characters was full of pitch-black and stiff short beards, and the whole person was in the shape of a fierce Zhang Fei, seeing Fang Xuanling looking over, he grinned, and said in a loud voice: "Fang Shuai, can you be in the task of the last general?" ”
Fang Xuanling looked at him impatiently, nodded and said, "General Cheng Yanjin, you are the deputy general of General Wei Chi." ”
"Whoa!"
"Zuo Tiancheng, General Huang Junhan, you two command the 10,000 army under the command of General Wei Chi for support!"
"Whoa!"
"General Deng Wei and General Meng Zhongcai, you two lead 30,000 people, prepare more strong crossbows, and after annihilating the Daredevils of Goguryeo, you will open the city."
"Whoa!"
"The other 2,000 slave soldiers are in charge of guarding the equipment battalion tonight."
……
Late at night, the moon is dark and the wind is high!
Yizhi Wende personally sent Yang Wanchun, who was eager to redeem his merits, and 10,000 daring soldiers out of the east gate of Zhuhan City.
At the time of day, the Sui army that was building siege equipment on Phoenix Mountain stopped the operation that lasted for ten days, and he and Yuan Taizuo understood that the Sui army's siege equipment was enough, and it would be attacked in a big way tomorrow, and tonight was their last chance to destroy these equipment, hoping that Yang Wanchun would live up to his expectations.
Zhuhan City is backed by Yalushui, facing the Black Bone City (Danyang), South Fuyu City (Danfeng), the location is in the middle of the two cities, although it is tall and strong, but there is a fatal shortcoming, that is, it is located in the lower reaches of the Yalushui, very afraid of water attack, if the Sui army leads the Yalushui to attack, it will become a Ze country, so they must be conquered when the Sui army finds this fatal shortcoming.
However, Etozhi Wende always believes that even if a city is strong, it will be breached one day, and if you only pay attention to defense, you will fall behind.
The reason why the basalt turtle is revered as a god by the Central Plains is not that the tortoise shell is strong and unhurried, but that it has a sharp attack in addition to strong armor protection. The same should be true of a city and a commander, a perfect city and a perfect commander must be both offensive and defensive.
but said Yang Wanchun of Zhuhan City.
He knew the surrounding terrain well, and after lurking out of the city without stopping, after nearly an hour of trekking, he led the daredevils around the construction of siege equipment and lurked.
Yang Wanchun did not rush to attack, but watched from a distance, tirelessly staring at every detail, he was thoughtful, calm as a rock, and never had such an irrational emotion as impetuousness, being wiped out by Yang Tong was an exception.
After watching for half an hour, Yang Wanchun was 100% of the Sui army's camp built strongly, but the defenders were negligent in guarding against offenses, and there were no ambushes around, so he called several henchmen and generals to order: "Destroying the siege equipment is our main task, killing people is secondary, and the Sui army will retreat immediately once it goes out of the city to support." ”
"Subordinates understood!" The generals whispered.
"Immediately send the order down, attack the camp in a moment, and let General Gao Ze rear to ensure safety." Yang Wanchun commanded.
As the order was given, the Goguryeo soldiers clenched their weapons in their hands and looked at the camp with a sinister look.
When Uncle Time trickled for a moment, Yang Wanchun jumped on his war horse, drew his war knife, and shouted: "Goguryeo warriors, today is the beginning of the destruction of the Sui army, kill !! ”
"Kill!"
The deafening shouts of killing filled the heavens and the earth, and the Goguryeo army launched a fierce charge against the camp, and the birds in the forest, frightened by the noise, flapped their wings and flew into the dark sky.
For a time, the figures were longing and dusty, and the peace and tranquility of the night were replaced by chaos and shouts of killing.
On the tower of the camp gate, the soldiers who were already sleepy heard a loud scream, and immediately woke up, and they looked at the oncoming enemy, and immediately rang the bell with pale faces, and shouted in stiff Chinese: "Enemy attack, enemy attack"
However, after shouting, an arrow was shot at him, and with a wail, he fell from the barracks.
But the soldiers in the camp have been shouting, the slave soldiers who woke up from their sleep, picked up their weapons and rushed out, the slave soldiers were originally lazy temperament, but after more than two years of slavery, sometimes they were called up to work in the middle of the night, but they also had a certain vigilance to deal with night battles.
At this time, the Goguryeo army had already entered the camp, and the war broke out in an instant, and the Goguryeo army quickly gained the upper hand by virtue of the advantage of sneak attack, and threw oil cans and torches into the tents in the camp, and the flames immediately spread into a fire, and the night sky of this side of the world was lit up.
After Yang Wanchun killed a few soldiers, he looked at a few trebuchets not far away, his heart moved, stopped the soldiers who intended to set fire, and laughed loudly: "Take these few back to study." ”
"Yes!" Hundreds of soldiers around changed their weapons and immediately rushed over.
Yang Wanchun looked around at the Sui army running around, his face was full of hatred, and he said coldly: "Continue to kill, kill all these Sui soldiers, and avenge the dead comrades." ”
"Yes!"
And at this moment, in Xiaoshang, not far from the barracks, Fang Xuanling looked at the fire-filled equipment camp and said coldly: "All the Goguryeo people have entered the camp!" The order went down and let Deng Wei and Meng Zhongcai attack... Don't need a live mouth."
"No!"
Soon after the order was given, the oil tanks were thrown at the equipment battalion by catapults! The fire burned to the ground, and the entire equipment battalion was engulfed in flames.
The Goguryeo daredevils who were splashed on their bodies by the fire oil also burned, and they screamed loudly in horror one by one.
Yang Wanchun, who was in the barracks, was shocked when he heard the words of less than 2,000 people in the camp, and then looked up at the oil canisters that smashed to the ground from all around the sky, as well as the fire that burst into flames, and then saw the 1,000 receiving troops led by Gao Ze fall down in the sound of 'Xiuxiu', and his heart suddenly became miserable: "In order to induce all our troops to enter the camp, we actually sacrificed 2,000 soldiers of the Sui Army, such ruthless people and ruthless hearts. ”
