Chapter 287: Raid
Those soldiers were the elite soldiers selected by Zhao Yi from the Tai Shi Ci bow and crossbow team, and Zhao Yi personally taught those people the skills and precautions for attacking the camp.
These people cooperated tacitly, saw the opportunity and silently rushed up, covering the soldier's mouth and nose, and at the same time that the soldier woke up, the dagger in the hand of the officer had already cut their throats.
Carefully put the still twitching bodies of these soldiers guarding the gate on the ground, gestured to Zhao Yi and the others, and then carefully opened the gate of the Goguryeo tribe.
Zhao Yi saw that the soldiers killed the guards silently, and a smile appeared on his face and secretly said that his devil training was finally not in vain.
Zhao Yi waved his hand like this, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu led a large group of officers and soldiers to quickly run into the Goguryeo tribe camp, the officers and soldiers all closed their mouths, and suppressed the shouting and killing sound that was about to be shouted in their mouths, the surging emotions caused the speed under their feet to speed up a lot, and the crisp sound of the armor colliding broke the silence of the night.
The official army that entered the Goguryeo tribe silently rushed into the tent and slaughtered the Goguryeo tribe soldiers stationed on the periphery, and as the first scream was heard, the Goguryeo tribe exploded its nest.
"Enemy attack!" Shrill shouts echoed over the Goguryeo tribes. The Goguryeo soldiers who woke up were hurriedly dressed in their clothes, and some of them reacted quickly, without putting on clothes, and rushed out with scimitars in their hands, at this time clothes were useless at all, and scimitars were important things.
But as soon as the soldier rushed out, several officers and soldiers stabbed several holes in his body, and the officers and soldiers ran in on the soldier's corpse and killed all the soldiers in the tent.
In just a quarter of an hour, the Goguryeo tribe, which had been peaceful, had become chaotic, and the screams of screams, the cries of children and women, mixed with the shouts of officers and soldiers, echoed in the Goguryeo tribe.
Mu Bai was also awakened by this sound in his sleep, and before he had time to put on his armor, he ran out of the military tent in a dark panic, and saw that the south of the tribe was full of fire, and the screams of the soldiers kept coming.
"Chief, the Youzhou official army invaded our tribe at night, and our department suffered heavy casualties!" A wounded soldier ran in in with a panicked look and told Mu Bai about the current situation.
"What?!" When Mu Bai heard this, his body shook twice, he originally thought that Zhao Yi's official army had returned to Youzhou, but he didn't expect that Zhao Yi would use this trick to first pretend to withdraw the soldiers, and then take advantage of the night to bring the soldiers and horses back, and suddenly launched an attack when his tribe's defense was lax, which caught the Goguryeo tribe off guard.
Mu Bai's eyes quickly turned a few points, his own soldiers were not the opponents of Zhao Yi's officers and troops at all, if he didn't think of countermeasures in time, he was afraid that the Goguryeo tribe would be removed from the Liaodong region tonight.
led his subordinates to flee from the north, Mu Bai just had this thought, and then suppressed it. Since Zhao Yi dared to attack the Goguryeo tribe, he must have made all the preparations, there must be an interception and killing of the official army in the north, and there are many old and weak women and children in the army, which is quite inconvenient to act, but I am afraid that after walking not far, he will be caught up by the Youzhou official army, and the losses of the troops will be even more serious.
"The herald general immediately organized troops to stop the Youzhou army and cover his subordinates to enter the city!" Mu Bai gave an order, and the only way to do this is to withdraw his troops into the city now, and then find another way.
The wounded soldier immediately ran out to convey Mu Bai's order.
Mu Bai's order at this time was right, but the Goguryeo soldiers were not many times their official and military opponents now, and the soldiers led by the Goguryeo generals were also brave and good at fighting, and they were fearless in battle. But it is a pity that the number of people is too small, and many people were killed and wounded in only half an hour of fighting with the officers and soldiers, and they were torn open by the officers and soldiers.
This Goguryeo general was even beheaded by Guan Yu, and the 2,000 Goguryeo tribe soldiers who had just gathered were quickly all on the ground under the impact of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers.
The melee lasted all night, and finally Mu Bai retreated into the city with the remnants of his troops and the people, and the melee came to an end.
Guan Yu, who was covered in blood, walked into the official army camp and reported the situation to Zhao Yi: "My lord, the Goguryeo tribe is besieged in the city by 50,000 soldiers and horses of our official army, and General Tai Shici asks your lord how to deal with the captured 80,000 Goguryeo tribesmen. ”
"Oh?" Zhao Yi was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that there were so many people captured this time, he stood up, "Take me to see." ”
The once peaceful Goguryeo tribes are now mourning, and the officers and soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield are gathering the corpses of Goguryeo soldiers together and waiting for Zhao Yi's instructions. The 40,000 officers and troops led by Tai Shici surrounded the 80,000 tribes of the Goguryeo tribe and waited for Zhao Yi to fall.
Seeing Zhao Yi, who was dressed in white and did not stir up dust, the cold expression on Tai Shici's face then became respectful, and he turned over and dismounted and bowed to Zhao Yi: "Lord Mu Bai led the meal army to retreat into the city, what should these captured Goguryeo tribes do?" ”
Zhao Yi looked at these Goguryeo tribesmen, and saw that there were still some dead around the officers and soldiers, and it seemed that it took some trouble for Tai Shi Ci to bring these people together.
Nearly eighty percent of these 80,000 people are women and children, and then there are gray-haired old men. However, these people all have one thing in common, that is, they are all looking at Zhao Yi with resentful eyes, looking at the appearance of these people, they can't wait to peel Zhao Yi and cramp.
Zhao Yi looked at these Goguryeo tribes before he could speak, and saw the heads of the Goguryeo tribes shaking, and out of them came a man with a few feather arrows on his body, whose face was pale because of serious injuries, this man was full of indignation, walked two steps forward, and scolded Zhao Yi: "Zhao Yi, my Goguryeo tribe has agreed to all the conditions of the official army, why did you go back on your word and lead your troops to attack my Goguryeo tribe!" ”
Zhao Yi saw the angry look of this soldier, and glanced at those Goguryeo tribesmen again, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This little general doesn't seem to understand the way of the battlefield. If I have to give a reason, Zhao Yi, then I can only blame Mu Bai for agreeing to cooperate with the Qiuliju tribe and invade my Youzhou land. Now the Goguryeo tribe is greatly weakened, and it has not even had the strength to protect itself for three or five years. But I don't want the Goguryeo tribe to have a chance to rise again, and I won't let the enemy heal his wounds and invade my Youzhou again. Therefore, no matter what conditions your tribe has agreed to me, I will set foot on your Goguryeo tribe. ”
As soon as Zhao Yi said this, the soldier's face immediately became very ugly, Zhao Yi made sense, since the Goguryeo army entered Youzhou, it was destined to be a friend and foe. Even though the two ministries united once because of their interests, with the end of the alliance, the relationship between the two ministries also changed from an alliance to an enemy. Anyone with a modicum of military acumen will know this.
This soldier naturally knew it, so Zhao Yi refuted this soldier speechless with a few simple words, since you have the courage to invade Youzhou, you naturally have to have the consciousness of failure.
Tai Shi Ci looked at the 80,000 Goguryeo tribesmen, and snorted lightly and made a suggestion to Zhao Yi: "My lord, the Goguryeo tribes are stubborn, and after Mu Bai led the army into the city, they even fought against our officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers suffered hundreds of casualties as a result. ”
"The general means to kill all the 80,000 Goguryeo tribes?" Zhao Yi guessed Tai Shici's thoughts from Tai Shici's words.
"Not bad." Tai Shi Ci nodded and admitted his thoughts.
Hearing Tai Shi Ci's words, the faces of the Goguryeo tribes changed drastically, some showed helpless expressions on their faces, and some people had indignant but powerless expressions.
"After this battle, the Goguryeo tribes and the people were merged into my Youzhou, and these people in front of us are no longer our enemies, but the people of my Youzhou, and this official hereby decrees that in the future, our officials and troops will treat the Goguryeo tribes and the people of Youzhou equally." Zhao Yi weighed the pros and cons in his heart and said this. The Goguryeo tribe is indeed hateful, but these things have nothing to do with the people in front of them. Moreover, there are as many as 80,000 of these people in front of him, and if he hears that the official army wants to put them to death, then he will definitely fight to the death with the official army, and the official army will be killed and injured as a result.
And the most important thing is that Zhao Yi wants to use this to buy people's hearts, killing these 80,000 people is easy for hundreds of thousands of Youzhou officials and soldiers, but if he does so, it will definitely strengthen the determination of the Goguryeo tribes in the city to defend the city to the death. Then it would be extremely difficult for the official army to capture the city.
Tai Shici glanced at Zhao Yi puzzled when he heard this, but he still obediently went down to carry out the order. Ordered the officers and soldiers to open their mouths and let the Goguryeo people leave.
Some of the Goguryeo tribesmen who left frantically ran to their tents, looking at the burned tents and belongings, and some ran to the corpses of their relatives and wept bitterly.
However, these tribes are guarded by officials and soldiers, and they are afraid that these Goguryeo tribes will take the opportunity to make trouble. Liu Bei turned his head to look at the empty space behind him, and sighed: "Brother Bolai, you have chosen a path that is ten times more difficult than annihilating them. ”
What Liu Bei said was indeed good, after the war, there were no people and animals, and the Goguryeo tribes who survived by luck had no guarantee of food, clothing, housing and transportation, all of which depended on the officials and troops of Zhao Yi's department. But what is even more difficult to deal with is the hatred in the hearts of the Goguryeo tribes, and the hatred of the Goguryeo tribes towards the officials and soldiers is extremely high, even if the officials and soldiers supply them with food and other things, it is quite difficult to eliminate them.
Zhao Yi seemed full of confidence: "I have millions of people in Youzhou, and it is not difficult to integrate these 80,000 people into it. Saying that, Zhao Yi looked around, staring at the vast Goguryeo tribe's land, his eyes flashed, such a vast land has been idle for many years is really a waste, Zhao Yi has decided to set up another county town here in the Goguryeo tribe, establish a village here, and move in the people. In less than three years, this new county town will become the second Zhuo county.
Seeing the excitement on Zhao Yi's face, Liu Bei naturally understood what Zhao Yi was thinking, and couldn't help but hit Zhao Yi with a sentence: "Bolai, what should we do with the remnants of Mu Bai in the city now?" ”
