Chapter 617: Special Operations
Cheng Chuliang looked dazed, and didn't quite understand what the prince was going to do.
Qin Huaiyu showed a thoughtful look on his face, and probably guessed a little.
Then, Li Su ordered the 3,000 surrendered Goryeo soldiers to take off their military uniforms.
This time, even Cheng Chuliang saw a little bit of the doorway.
Your Highness is pretending to be a Goryeo soldier and taking the opportunity to infiltrate Liaodong City?
The solution is good, but there is not a single familiar face here, can you get by?
Soon, Li Su ordered 3,000 Tang soldiers to change into Goryeo military uniforms.
Then he deliberately found some seriously wounded Goryeo soldiers, and these soldiers all sat on the mounts of the Tang army, and rode in pairs.
These people are the familiar faces of the defenders of Liaodong City in front.
At the same time, if the battle is lost, it is impossible to make up for this deficiency without serious wounded.
At the same time, Li Su also ordered someone to bring their general Park Yivote.
In the end, Li Su let Park lead the team for a lifetime.
I believe that with Pu Shengsheng, there is a high chance that he will be able to call the gate of Liaodong City.
And as long as the gate of Liaodong City can be opened, the entire Liaodong City will be self-defeating.
Soon, the team set off.
And behind this team, 37,000 Tang troops, divided into two teams, were far behind.
As long as they can deceive the city gates, the army will be able to rush into Liaodong City in the shortest possible time.
An hour later, the 3,000 cavalry in front had arrived at Liaodong City.
On the road, these Tang cavalry, in order to prevent the defenders of Liaodong City from seeing the flaws, deliberately painted their faces with blood or mud, looking extremely miserable.
At this time, on the wall of Liaodong City, the Goryeo garrison saw the 3,000 cavalry coming from afar, and their faces showed a look of surprise.
"Look! Isn't that the cavalry we sent out? β
"How can it be so miserable?"
"What about General Park, who led the army? Why don't you see others? β
"Who's at the front?"
"Look, why does it seem to be the lord of the city?"
"That's not right, City Lord Pu doesn't defend the city, what are you doing in our Liaodong City?"
Soon, Park Shengsheng led an army of 3,000 to the city.
"Listen, the defenders of the city, quickly open the gates of the city and let us enter the city!"
At this time, the guards on the city wall were alarmed.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to open the city gates.
Seeing this scene, Park Shengsheng couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you doing? Why don't you open the gates yet? Aren't you afraid that when the lord of the city enters the city, he will cut off your heads? β
Park was angry, and the defenders on the city wall were really scared.
He's the lord of a city, and if he really wants to cut off his head, I'm afraid no one will be able to save him.
But the matter is very high, and the defenders on the city wall still asked one more question:
"May I ask Lord Park, where is our General Park?"
Park Shengsheng first secretly praised Li Sheng's carefulness in his heart, and then waved his hand and said, "Carry General Park up." β
After a short time, Park Yi's vote was raised.
Park Shengsheng couldn't help but say: "General Park is seriously injured, his life is on the verge of death, and he needs immediate treatment!" If you delay treatment and let General Park die, will your head be enough to cut off? β
"Now that the Black Bone City has been broken, the lord of this city, under the protection of General Park, is fighting to fight out. Now I'm going to talk to you city lord about countermeasures! Delay the military plane, how many heads do you have, is it enough to cut off? β
"Sure enough, it's General Park!"
"That's right, it's really General Park! I didn't expect it to hurt so badly! β
"I didn't expect that the Black Bone City has been broken, which Liaodong City, are we still guarding it?"
"Hurry up and open the city gate and let the city lord come in?"
"Yes, otherwise, if Park is to blame, we can't afford to bear it!"
Soon, the east gate of Liaodong City was opened from the inside.
A group of guards greeted them from within.
Pu Shengsheng nodded slightly, and then led the army to enter Liaodong City from the East City Gate.
To the surprise of the soldiers who greeted them, they had just entered the city gates.
Their comrades suddenly raised their butcher's knives high in the air and slaughtered them all under their horses.
Moreover, there were more than 1,000 cavalry, who quickly jumped off their horses and killed the city wall.
The rest of the cavalry guarded the city gates separately.
At the same time, the roar of cavalry was heard in the distance.
Listening to the sound, a large number of cavalry must have been killed.
"You can't kill me! We're in a group, we're in a group! β
"You can't kill your own people!"
"What are you going to do? My own people, hey Smecta! β
"They're fake! It's all fake! β
"We've been fooled, they're all fake! They are pretended by Tang Jun! β
At this time, the defenders on the city wall could already see the large Tang cavalry swarming in the distance.
They also finally came to their senses, and it turned out that they had all been deceived.
Lord Park is only afraid that he has defected, and these people are all pretended by Tang Jun.
It's a pity that they realized too late.
The soldiers defending the north gate were originally only about 500 people.
After entering the city gates, a group of them were killed.
The rest of the people did not make the right judgment in the first place.
By the time they finally came to their senses, it was too late.
Soon, all fell under the blade of the Tang army.
The cavalry of the Tang Army in the distance had already rushed to the gate of the city, and then rushed in.
A full 40,000 Tang army entered Liaodong City from the north gate of Liaodong City.
At this time, the defenders of Liaodong City were less than 20,000.
The speed at which the Tang army deceived the city gate was too fast.
It was so fast that their city lord begging and begging elephants didn't react at all.
By the time they saw the Tang cavalry, the two sides had already entered the point of hand-to-hand combat, and they were directly caught off guard.
And what made them vomit blood even more was that the 3,000 Tang troops disguised as Goryeo soldiers were mixed in the city.
Real Goryeo soldiers, completely defenseless against them.
Then they approached and immediately began to slaughter.
Both the Tang army slaughtered them, and their own people stabbed them, and for a while, the Korean soldiers were directly blinded.
It's just that the Tang army killed them, why should their own people kill them?
By the time they finally figured out that there was still a part of the disguised Tang army in it, the Goryeo soldiers had been completely defeated to the point of rout.
Even if their city lord is a beggar elephant, he is a rare fierce general.
In the face of this chaos, there is no way to do it.
In the end, Qin Huaiyu directly led people to kill through the passage and opened the west gate of Liaodong City.
Xue Rengui, who was outside the city, led 50,000 soldiers and horses to kill him from the west gate.
At this point, Liaodong City had no strength to resist and completely fell.
However, their city lord beggar Zhongxiang was hidden in the chaos of the army, by his personal protectors.
They took off their uniforms, pretended to be civilians, and wandered around the city, but for a moment no one noticed this.
However, all Li Su wanted was to take Liaodong City.
As for running away, he really didn't take it to heart.
It only took five or six days for them to take Liaodong City and Black Bone City.
As for some of the surrounding small towns, Li Su didn't bother to attack them for the time being.
Later, they could directly attack Pyongyang, the capital of Goryeo.
Li Su estimated that the defenders in Pyongyang would have a maximum of 50,000 or 60,000 troops, and would never exceed 100,000.
And for them, it is not very difficult to take the city of Pyongyang.
Next, Li Su did not directly attack the city of Pyongyang.
Instead, first rectify Liaodong City and Black Bone City.
By the way, he sent Park Shengsheng and began to persuade the surrounding towns to surrender.
The work of persuading surrender went very smoothly.
Even Liaodong City and Wugu City were taken by the Tang Dynasty, and even Pyongyang City was in danger.
They are small towns, and there is really no need to insist on them.
Therefore, it only took half a month for Li Su to take all the surrounding small cities without blood.
Next, Li Su sent a telegram to the emperor Li Ke, asking him to send troops to accept Liaodong City and Wugu City, as well as the nearby small cities.
And Yi Su was going to attack Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo.
After receiving Li Su's report, Emperor Li Ke couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly dispatched people to these two cities.
Now, as long as Pyongyang is taken, Goguryeo can be destroyed in one fell swoop.
For Li Ke, this is definitely great news.
After the arrival of the officers and soldiers accepted by the imperial court, Li Su led 100,000 soldiers and horses and began to attack Pyongyang.
King Treasure of Goguryeo, the king of Pyongyang, was very frightened and worried.
Seven years ago, Goguryeo had a coup d'Γ©tat.
The minister Yuangai Suwen killed the old king and supported the treasure king to ascend to the throne.
The titular king, the Treasure King, is nothing more than a puppet supported by Yuangai Suwen.
The real power is all in the hands of Yuangai Suwen.
After receiving the news that the Tang army had advanced into Pyongyang, Yuangai Suwen was ready to defend it to the death.
At this time, the city lord of Liaodong City, the beggar Zhongxiang, had quietly fled back.
Yuangai Suwen had already learned about the true combat effectiveness of the Tang army.
Originally, the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army was extremely strong, and they fought hundreds of battles with the Tang Dynasty, and they have always lost more than won few.
However, judging from the news obtained from the mouth of the beggar Zhongxiang, the Tang army that came this time will be more powerful in combat than the previous Tang army.
You can't go toe-to-toe with them.
The best way to do this is to guard against it.
And this Tang army is full of tricks, they will disguise themselves as their Goryeo soldiers to deceive the city gates.
Be wary of this.
A few days later, Li Su led 100,000 elite soldiers to the front of Pyongyang.
Pyongyang is located on a plain, and as the capital of Goguryeo, Pyongyang Fortress was built with a wide and majestic structure.
If you want to rely on ordinary siege methods, it is not easy to break the city.
Even if you succeed, you will inevitably pay a great price.
Li Su released an unmanned reconnaissance plane to reconnoiter the terrain of Pyongyang City.
couldn't help frowning slightly.
The sharpest means of attacking is nothing more than fire and water.
But attacking with fire, it is not easy.
There is too much water flowing in Pyongyang.
There is also a Taedong River that runs through the entire city of Pyongyang.
Divide the entire city in two.
Well?
This situation is very similar to when I was in Nanzhao.
Can you replicate the city-breaking routine at that time?
After studying it carefully, in the end, Li Su could only shake his head helplessly.
First of all, the Datong River is very wide, and the river surface is dozens of meters wide.
If you want to cut off the Datong River, it is simply impossible.
In addition, the city of Pyongyang is also very large, and it is impossible for the river to spread to the whole of Pyongyang.
If you can't do these two things, you naturally can't set fire to the river water.
However, the river is so wide that it is a good breakthrough.
Of course, Goguryeo naturally guarded against this.
On the river, they installed an iron fence.
Like an iron lock across the river, it is absolutely impossible for ships to enter the city of Pyongyang through here.
And this iron fence seems to have been installed temporarily.
In normal times, it is estimated that their ships can enter and leave the city at will.
Even if you want to let the soldiers dive across the Datong River, it is unlikely.
On both sides of the Datong River in the city, there are soldiers who are strictly guarded.
There are not only bows and arrows, but also tung oil and other things.
It is almost impossible to enter the city of Pyongyang through the river.
However, for Li Su, it is often possible to turn decay into magic and the impossible into possibility.
Because Li Su wanted to send soldiers into Pyongyang City unknowingly, it was actually very simple.
Only a few submarines are enough.
It's a pity that this time it came in a hurry.
The last time he rescued Cui Shi Niang, he had bought a submarine, but this time he didn't bring it over.
If you want to use the submarine on this day, you will have to buy it again.
After thinking about it, Li Yu decided to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang.
β¦β¦
On the second day, 80,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty gathered under the city and assembled under the city of Pyongyang.
Pyongyang City Yuan Gai Suwen was very nervous, and hurriedly gathered the soldiers and horses in Pyongyang City to defend the city on the city wall.
However, the Tang army only fought hard under the city, but did not launch an attack for a long time.
The defenders of Pyongyang city were not in a hurry either.
They are actually very willing to spend it with Datang, and when the time comes, it must be Datang who can't afford it.
What they didn't know was that Datang's first submarine had already carried ten Huya Special Combat Team soldiers and quietly infiltrated Pyongyang City.
The entrance of the Taedong River into Pyongyang City is the iron lock of the Hengjiang River by Goryeo.
But underwater, they don't have any restrictions.
Because they had never touched a submarine, they had no idea that there was a kind of ship in the world that could sneak underwater.
The submarine easily infiltrated the city of Pyongyang.
Then, according to the submarine's view from the water, they constantly observed the situation on the shore.
After a while, they found an open place with dense water and grass and no one around.
Then ten people dressed in water shelters, quietly disembarked, and lurked in the water weeds.
And these ten people are wearing the clothes of Goryeo soldiers.
Their appearance is no different from that of the Koreans.
And they are all soldiers of the Huya Special Combat Team, and what they are best at is stealth camouflage.
And next, the submarine returned the same way.
On the second trip, three submarines came, transporting thirty soldiers of the Huya Special Combat Team at one time.
For a whole day, the Tang Dynasty was eyeing Goryeo, and Goryeo did not dare to slack off.
The two sides have been at loggerheads.
And in a whole day, three submarines transported a thousand special combat members of the Huya Special Combat Team.
These special combat personnel lurk patiently during the day.
At night, dressed in the costumes of Goryeo soldiers, they began to approach the place where Goryeo had stored grain and grass.
Soon, they carried out an assassination of the Goryeo soldiers who were defending the granary.
They are a group of ten people, patiently lurking, once acting.
Like a poisonous snake, lightning strikes and kills with one blow.
They are very patient.
On the Goryeo side, they never expected that the Tang Army would be able to lurk in so many people.
Therefore, their defense is also quite lax.
It took most of the night to destroy all the 1,000 defending soldiers.
Soon, a fire broke out in the granary.
The fire quickly alarmed Goryeo, and Yuangae Suwen immediately sent soldiers to put out the fire.
"What's going on? How did this fire start? β
"How many Tang troops are lurking in my Pyongyang city?"
"Are all four of the 1,000 men who take care of the rations?"
"If you can't take care of the granary, can't you even send a signal for help?"
"Immediately arrange manpower to wipe out all the infiltrated Tang troops!"
Yuan Gai Suwen was very angry, and at the same time, he also knew in his heart that the people who infiltrated were too harmful to them, and they must all be eliminated.
At the same time, Yuangai Suwen immediately ordered people to completely block the entrance of the Datong River and the bottom of the water.
Although he didn't know how Tang Jun did it, Yuan Gai Suwen clearly realized that they must have lurked from the water.
However, the encirclement and suppression that followed greatly surprised Yuan Gai Suwen.
He never expected that these invading Tang troops would be so cunning.
These invading Tang troops were reduced to pieces, and instead of concealment, they boldly attacked.
When the Goryeo soldiers were fighting the fire, they wore Goryeo costumes and secretly assassinated the Goryeo soldiers who were fighting the fire.
The most hateful thing is that they are very difficult to detect.
Even if it is discovered, it is not of much use.
Because once discovered, they can quickly go into hiding.
They were all wearing the same uniforms, and once they blended into the crowd, they were hard to find.
Even more annoying people, they also have a lot of companions who support each other and help each other.
In the end, between the Goryeo soldiers, unless they are comrades-in-arms.
Otherwise, they don't dare to trust each other at all.
After sending people to exterminate it overnight, not only did not capture an invading Tang army, but they lost more than 1,000 soldiers.
In one night, they lost more than 2,000 people.
Yuan Gai Suwen was very angry.
Could it be that all his Goryeo soldiers were pigs?
Not even a single person was caught, and more than a thousand people were killed themselves?
They must have taken advantage of the night to fish in troubled waters.
By the time dawn comes, they'll have nothing to hide, right?
The next day, Yuangai Suwen directly sent 10,000 soldiers to search for the infiltrated Tang soldiers throughout the city.
But the results surprised Yuangai Suwen.
For a whole day, they still didn't catch a single person, and in one day, they were assassinated again more than a hundred people.
More than a dozen shops in the city caught fire.
This time, some of them directly disguised themselves as their Goryeo people.
After a whole day and a night, they failed to capture a single person.
I don't even know how many Tang troops there are in Pyongyang.
These people are like loaches, slippery and careless.
It's so hard to find them.
Unless they do nothing, and a hundred thousand soldiers are all used to search them.
But Yuangai Suwen knows very well that defending the gate is the most important thing.
He had to maintain the defensive strength of the city gates, so as not to give these invading Tang troops a chance.
Even, he had to maintain a certain defensive force of the city wall to prevent the Tang army outside from suddenly launching a siege battle.
Therefore, the number of troops he can devote is really limited.
Datang's tactic is really disgusting to Yuan Gai Suwen.
How disgusted is it?
These Tang troops, before they launched an attack, they couldn't find it at all!
After the attack, by the time their men came, they had already run away.
These people even swaggered to eat and rest in their barracks.
They didn't find out until they left.
Yuangai Suwen wanted to use the password to distinguish and distinguish.
But this method is not useful at all.
Because the other party will be able to read their password very quickly.
Well, what the Huya special combat team has endured is all kinds of infiltration, camouflage, and so on training.
They may even feel that Goryeo's password is too low-level.
It's so simple that they all think it's bullying.
Because as soon as you meet, you only need to shout one first: "Stop, password!" β
can trick the first password out, and then kill people.
When they encounter the second wave, let them ask first, shout the order, and then ask the other party to give the order.
In this way, a complete password is set out, too simple, without the slightest technical content.
On the Goguryeo side, the password began to be changed frequently.
In the end, I actually got myself into it, and there were many manslaughters!
"It's too much of a deception! Nima Smecta! β
Yuangai Suwen was so angry that he couldn't help but start to have the idea of abandoning the city and fleeing.
Of course, not only because of the thousand invading Don troops.
Because Yuangai Suwen has realized that Goguryeo, I am afraid that it will not be able to be saved, and it will perish in the hands of the Tang Dynasty.
He was ready to abandon the city and flee.
And now, the Tang Army, which has been infiltrated by an unknown number of people, has made people panic and restless.
Even some generals and high-ranking officials of Goguryeo were assassinated by them.
Even in the palace, they didn't dare to say whether there were any people they were lurking in.
His own life and safety have been threatened to a certain extent.
In the end, Yuangai Suwen decided to abandon the city and flee directly.
Yuangai Suwen had already been ready to run away, so the things he should bring had already been brought.
Then he directly led 100,000 Goryeo soldiers to evacuate from the east gate in a hurry.
And before leaving, he did not take their Imperial Treasure King with him.
At this point, the city of Pyongyang has become an empty city.
This is also a special operation, the first time in this era Yang Wei.
Let the world understand the horror of special operations.
If there are no corresponding protective measures, special operations can make a city collapse.
β¦β¦
As soon as Yuangai Suwen left, the Tang army easily broke through Pyongyang and took control of the entire Pyongyang city.
At this point, Goguryeo was destroyed.
The task assigned by the emperor has actually been successfully completed.
Of course, Li Su's purpose is not just that.
For Li Su, this is just the beginning!
