Chapter 70: The Peninsula Begins with Turmoil

Three thousand Xi people, that is, one thousand two carriages, said to be a carriage, more like a chariot, one person driving, the other two one with a bow and arrows, one with a spear, maybe siege warfare is not practical, but the field is good, and it may work wonders when it is used at a critical time.

But after all, it is made of all wood, so it is still very difficult to travel far away with weight, so when not fighting, Xi people are on foot, although Xi people are used to driving carriages, but after all, they have lived in the mountains and forests for many years, and of course they are also good at foot combat, and the most important thing is that Xi people belong to a nomadic nation, and everyone is a marksman.

Zou Yu didn't think about letting them use it as a stormtrooper, after all, the carriage is not as flexible as a war horse, and it is easy to be used as a live target, but it is too good to use it as an archer, especially in the field, the carriage can also be used as an obstacle, and it can also be loaded with some supplies, at least more than a single cavalry, and it is not picky about the road, and it can be repaired and replaced quickly if it is broken, through a few days, Zou Yu found a lot of advantages of Xi people, although there were also Xi people who joined Buyeo City before, these really did not pay attention.

"It seems that in the future, we will explore more of the specialties of ethnic minorities." Zou Yu thought to himself in his heart.

With logistics, it is indeed slower to rush, but fortunately, it is very safe on the way, after all, Liaodong has gone through the disasters of Yang Guang in the past three years, and everything that can run has run, which is really uninhabited for thousands of miles.

When passing by Xincheng, I stayed for one night, the city wall was destroyed, and the people were semi-forced to relocate by Goguryeo, especially the people in the city, now a city, dilapidated and in a dilapidated state, some homeless people lived, but for Zou Yu and their army, they were not worried at all.

……………………

Liaodong City! As soon as Su Dingfang arrived, he arranged for people to block the surrounding roads to prevent people from going out of the city to ask for help.

Half a day later, Zhang Zhongjian and others also arrived with a large army and went down to the camp two miles away.

"I didn't expect that we came to Liaodong City in this way." Zhang Zhongjian sighed.

Three years ago, everyone tried every possible way to rush over and return to the Central Plains, but they were disappointed.

"We'll go back to the open." Li Keshi said vigorously, as if he was also giving himself a determination.

"Of course! What Yang Guang can't do, we will do it, Liaodong City has it! Zhang Zhongjian said proudly.

"I will avenge my brothers!" Qin Qiong said coldly, he thought of the brothers who broke off together, and revisited the old place, and the face that seemed to have died tragically appeared in front of him again.

"Although the imperial court did not take Liaodong City, it still damaged a lot, and it can be seen that it has been repaired in many places." After going around the city and looking for flaws, Li Keshi pointed to the city wall and said.

"Although the emperor is mediocre, the soldiers are not vegetarians, they have been fighting for many months, breaking the city many times, if it weren't for the shameless and shameless surrender of the Goguryeo people, they would have been beaten down a long time ago." Qin Qiong explained that the person here was the one who had participated in the battle of Liaodong City, so he was more clear.

"How do we get it? Let's fight first, or wait for the city lord to come. Zhang Zhongjian asked.

"According to the news, there are about 20,000 defenders in Liaodong City, and I am afraid that the casualties will be too great if we attack it immediately, so we might as well pretend to besiege the city first, lure the reinforcements around, and defeat the periphery first, and wait for the city lord to send siege equipment, it is not too late to fight." Li Keshi suggested.

"Good! We have a lot of cavalry, and we don't need to be besieged on all sides, we only need to arrange cavalry patrols, and as long as there is no large-scale breakthrough, we will let them out. Zhang Zhongjian agreed.

Later, Li Keshi arranged for Qin Qiong, Su Dingfang, and Fang Zhengfang to patrol in turn, while the others made some equipment nearby to prepare for the siege.

With Liu Renliang's hard work for two or three months, the situation around has already been figured out, and there are not many troops in the nearby county towns, even if they support, they have to join forces together, so they only need to arrange manpower to monitor.

In fact, there are not many cities near Liaodong City, such as Xuansu, Gaimu, Lishan, Baiyan, and other cities, but these are not strong cities, during the first Eastern Crusade, Yang Guang let the soldiers be divided into nine roads, and all of them were fought down, experienced wars, the people were originally few, and they have not stopped in the past two years, and of course there are more people who have fled, so of course there are not many Goguryeo garrisons.

Here, Zhang Zhongjian and others surrounded the point to send reinforcements, but the Silla side was in full swing.

At the beginning of April, Silla sent troops, this time it was a shame to be iron-hearted, and at the same time, it was also to take advantage of the turbulent period of the new king of Goguryeo.

Sent 150,000 troops, the northern expedition to Goguryeo, and even the four cities of Qizhong, Dongbi, Kaesong, and Niuqin, until the division of troops to attack Haicheng and Duogu, did they encounter the heavy troops of Goguryeo.

Goguryeo was originally trying to mobilize an army and quickly repel Silla, but it was known that Dovaak Fortress had sent troops again, and the Soybean Mountain checkpoint was quickly occupied, and at the same time, there were already scouts in the domestic city, near Yalu City.

From Duovayue to Yalu City, the area of the domestic city is a flat river, and there are many targets for attack, which cannot be ignored by Goguryeo, in addition to the emergency deployment of troops, Eulzhi Wende also dispatched Yang Wanchun, a general who had just emerged, to guard the domestic city.

It was in these two years of defensive warfare that Yang Wanchun showed good ability and quickly emerged.

Han Qianxun did not stick to the Soybean Mountain checkpoint, but led 3,000 cavalry to sweep along the way, not only arranged a large number of scouts, pulled out all the eyes, and made Goguryeo become blind to the north, and it was easy for a dog to do it, but he also forcibly relocated all the villages he found.

Now the most lacking thing in Buyeo City is people, so the opportunity to increase manpower, I don't want to miss it, I even coax and deceive when I see people, and then talk about it, and if I don't obey, I can also throw it into the mine to mine, which is everyone's habit in the city.

If these Goguryeo could barely cope, then the appearance of Baekje warships on the coastline made matters worse.

On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, Zou Yu and his troops finally rushed to Liaodong City, at this time, Liaodong City had been trapped for half a month.

In the past half a month, Li Keshi has not even made a tentative attack, it is like a tourist, except for not letting a large number of people in the city come out, there is no other movement.

Of course, Liaodong City arranged a lot of people to break through and ask for help, after all, tens of thousands of people, trapped in the city, eating, drinking, and Lazar, are all a big problem, in order to deal with possible attacks, Liaodong City's food is enough to last more than half a year, but there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, after a long time, the spirit of the guards has been tightly collapsed, and sooner or later it will be unbearable, and it is more likely to have flaws.
