Chapter 337: Night Attack (2)
"Da Lang, are you sure they will come to attack at night?"
Changsun Chong asked Yang Qiao with some concern, you must know that tonight, almost none of the 20,000 soldiers rested, even if they were rested, it was estimated that they would not rest well.
At this time, Yang Qiao, Xiaomei, Changsun Chong, and Cheng Chumo were roasting ingredients and drinking tea in a tent, waiting.
While waiting, Yang Qiao wanted to instill something in the eldest grandson, after all, this brother-in-law is the eldest grandson's own nephew, and Li Er naturally can't treat him badly, so it is not possible to say what position will be arranged in the future, then, Yang Qiao must start in terms of military merits, and Cheng Chumo, a standard military general, Yang Qiao doesn't want to say anything, besides, there is a little sister looking at the estimate, in this life, there should be no problem.
There is also Xiaomei, Yang Qiao estimates that this may be the last time he will bring Xiaomei out, in the future, it will be really big, and it is impossible to follow Yang Qiao out again, and in the future, there will not be a lot of battles to speak of, so it is impossible for Xiaomei to become a female general, then, now, Yang Qiao is also showing her reputation to Xiaomei.
"Brother-in-law, you can rest assured, according to their urine, if it is strange not to come to pick up the bargain tonight, it can be said that according to their previous thinking, when they ask for surrender, we should be the most casual time, but unfortunately, today, they met me."
In the tent, some people were talking, but the soldiers outside, even the resting soldiers, were quiet, perhaps, some people secretly calculated in their hearts what credit they would have after going back this time, and they didn't know how many war horses they could share.
It is said that the people who came out with this General Yang had their harvest of war horses, and they obviously saw that the people who cleaned up the battlefield were leading a lot of intact war horses back, and it was said that it should be ours.
The night, quietly, the stars in the sky, very bright, if Yang Qiao was outside at this time, he would sigh, this era is good, there is no pollution, look, how bright the stars are in the sky.
Also, from time to time, there would be a shout from the soldiers on the night patrol, and even, there would be the sound of the password when the soldiers on duty handed over.
"Report, general, the enemy army has already left the city, at this time, they are forming a team, and after calculations by their subordinates, they probably have more than 50,000 people coming out, all of them are infantry, but there are also hundreds of cavalry, which should be people like officers."
"Well, okay, send the code, let the soldiers on the defense prepare, and let the soldiers on guard send the code in time."
"Da Lang, I didn't expect that they really came out, they suffered so many casualties yesterday, they didn't scare them."
Changsun Chong said with some excitement.
At this time, whether it is Xiaomei or Cheng Chumo, they are all bright-eyed, and they still want to participate in the war.
"You guys, don't think about it, I won't go out tonight, tonight's battle depends on the commanders, brother-in-law, you go and organize the staff officers, let them watch this battle well, next, there is another one, and after that, it's up to you."
Yang Qiao felt that perhaps, he would command these three battles, and then, he would just watch it, and this war would become another teaching war.
Also, although these 200,000 people are not most of Goguryeo's combat power, these 200,000 people are definitely the main combat power, as long as these 200,000 people are solved, then this Goguryeo can be regarded as disabled, and then as long as it is fought steadily.
In particular, Yang Qiao also suggested to Li Er, the Khitan and Turkic tribes, they can also pick up a lot of cheap, and even, Baekje and Silla in the south of Goguryeo will also take advantage of the fire to rob, but Yang Qiao will not let these two small countries take advantage.
"Password!" "Datang will win, return the order!" "The high stick is going to lose!"
"Oh no, stop moving!"
The lieutenant general of Goguryeo was not given for nothing, obviously, this series of password responses was not a normal action, but unfortunately when he reacted, it was too late.
"Ahh
A burst of screams came out behind him, why is it behind, at this time, he is riding a war horse in front, and this trap set by Yang Qiao is also interesting, if it can't reach a certain weight, it will not be triggered, once the weight is reached, then, this trap will be triggered, and under the trap, there are a lot of sharp wooden thorns, and even, in the middle of the wooden thorns, there are iron thorns.
As the screams rang out, the people behind them fell into the trap like dumplings.
Also, the drum beat of yesterday's day is also sounding again.
"Big brother, this night, finally didn't wait in vain, this high stick, it's really not a person, there is no credit at all, fortunately our general guards them!"
"Alright, brother, stop talking, shoot."
In fact, it doesn't matter if this arrow array is day or night, as long as it is shot at a fixed angle.
At this time, the cavalry on both wings were also dressed in battle armor, and as the drums of the cavalry sounded, they also attacked.
At this moment, the catapult also threw out something new, that is, piles of firewood, and when the firewood landed, it was blown by the wind in the air, and once it landed, it snorted.
This fire, Yang Qiao did a lot of experiments at home, not only to launch it and not disperse, but also to land and immediately burn up so that people would not extinguish it, after many tests were unsuccessful, in the end, or under the prompt of the chatterbox, a gunpowder bag was added to this firewood, and the problem was solved, this gunpowder bag, if it is sealed, will explode, but if it is loose, then, it is deflagration.
Therefore, at this time, there were hundreds of piles of flames on the battlefield immediately, and this cavalry could be regarded as having illumination.
Moreover, in the same way, the soldiers of Goguryeo also have the saying of night blindness, but the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have already been given by Yang Qiao, and with a little light, they can fight smoothly.
At this time, the trap has completely fallen, the trap, no longer a trap, but an obstacle, the lieutenant general, once again, lost his life, oh, it is the general of Goguryeo, another one died.
Even, until he died, he didn't know, why, there is a trap here, and this trap, when was it dug?
But you don't want to think about it, it's not that you are untrustworthy, can this kind of thing happen, and besides, the prince, it is estimated that there will be no good end, perhaps, if you can't get to Chang'an City, you will be arrested, this, it depends on what Li Er thinks.
"Haha, it's money again, at first, I didn't want to follow, but I didn't expect that this is coming, it's really a advantage, those who don't come, it is estimated that they will regret their death by then."
"Haha, Brother Wang, you say, how much will we gain tonight?"
"This time, it is estimated that there will not be a lot, you see that battlefield, most of them are infantry, so all we can harvest is some slaves, armor and weapons, but there are not many of the most valuable war horses."
"Brother Wang, you say, this Yang Daochang, it's Yang Daochang, although he is now called a general, but I heard that he didn't ask for a holy reward, how can he be so powerful, a few years ago, it is said that overnight, he broke through the Dingxiang City, and this time, you see, the 200,000 enemy troops are not enough for him to play, and he also brought 20,000 troops!"
While these businessmen sighed, they also secretly felt sad for their master, obviously, with Yang Qiao's assistance, Li Er could scare almost anyone, so at this time, some families can quickly change their minds, and some, what else do they want, it seems that their strategy is a mistake.
"It's late again, come on, hurry up and close the city gates!"
At this time, a civil official on the city wall, looking at the firelight in the distance and the screams coming, knew that it was over, this firelight was obviously prepared by Datang, and he could not have such a firelight, at most it was a torch, but he didn't see the dotted torches, so he naturally knew that it was over.
"Your Excellency?"
"Listen to me, close the gates, and hang the white flag on the walls."
White flag, who told you that the white flag is surrendered, is it useful for you to hang the white flag! In fact, at this time, some officials in the city were also trembling, and some of them had even begun to pack their luggage and prepare to escape.
