Ten thousand rewards plus more, there is a fourth watch tonight!

In the midst of a scorching cold wind.

The 10,000 horses of the left vanguard army marched against the wind and snow, and Yan Damiang, the daughter of Yan Bi in the Qibu Langzhong, rode a white horse, wearing white armor and mixed in the white horse righteous followers.

Although she was young and delicate, she was not frightened by the cold wind and ice. Riding on a horse, he also took out a handscroll and took out a special charcoal pen to sketch on the roll.

The person on the painting is none other than the vanguard general Luo Cheng.

She wrote quickly, drawing a draft, but the content was how Luo Cheng led his troops to support Sifang Fort, and how he led Bai Ma Yi to capture the flag from the generals, save Yu Wenhua and his department, and now the picture of the march in the snowstorm.

There are only a few strokes of each sketch, but they are extremely expressive.

The young general in the painting, with silver armor and white horse, is like the god of war descending.

Drawing and drawing, Yan Niangzi suddenly looked at the person under her pen and was stupid, and her mind couldn't help but think of the appearance of his red fruit, the bulging muscles, and the smooth lines········

It took a while for her to come to her senses.

Lifting the charcoal pen, he wrote a line of words on the side of Luo Ying, who was advancing against the wind and snow, in the first battle of Sifangtai, 3,000 Goguryeo forwards were annihilated, and 5,000 were beheaded in the first battle of Dadonggou. Luo Chengqin led the elite cavalry, charged and broke the formation, captured the city lord of the new city alive, and captured the handsome flag of Goguryeo. After this battle, the soldiers and horses of the Goguryeo cities in the direction of Xincheng were greatly damaged, and they were unable to counterattack Xuansu City, and were forced to turn from attack to defense. ”

At the end, she added, "Luo Chengzhen is young and brave, heroic, and unparalleled!" ”

Yan Niangzi put away the charcoal pencil and sighed at the portrait, "People are really angry compared to people, Yu Wenhua and the noble son of a wealthy family, but compared with Luo Cheng, he is not even worthy of carrying shoes." Although he beheaded 2,000 people, he could lose more than 3,000 himself, but he made another wedding dress for Luo Cheng in vain, otherwise Luo Cheng would not be able to win another big victory! ”

Under the banner of the vanguard.

Luo Cheng turned his head to look at Gaimu City, and saw that there was no movement in the city, so he turned back to Wei Zheng and said, "Sure enough, as you guessed, although there are more than 10,000 soldiers in Gaimu City, they will not go out of the city to fight." ”

"Why do you want to fight? We're going to pass, and they're going to let it go. The biggest killer move in this mountain city is to cut off our back road and cut off our grain route, so they still want us to bypass him and go east. ”

Wei Zheng said with a smile, "They must have thought that we were going to Xincheng, so they wanted to let us go." Although the new city has few soldiers, there must still be thousands of defenders, and the city of the new city is well armed and well-fed, if we really go to fight the new city, it will definitely be useless for us to rely on our people. As long as the defenders of Gaimu City wait, when we cannot take it and the food and grass are exhausted, then we will stop our retreat and attack us back and forth, and we will be defeated. ”

Luo Cheng snorted, "This Yang Wanchun has a good calculation, but why did Lao Tzu go to Xincheng, he thought that guarding Gaimu would cut off my back road?" Don't you know, I can also make Gaimu City a lonely city, and I can also cut off his back road. ”

"Speed up the march, it's getting dark, I don't want to spend the night in the snow."

On the city of Gaimu.

Yang Wanchun stood on the mountain city and watched the Sui army pass under the city.

"Are they really over?"

One general was surprised.

"This Luo Cheng is really unexpected everywhere."

"If he wants to live, let him live, and then there will be a day when he will regret it." Yang Wanchun's expression was indifferent.

"Where will they go?"

"It's definitely going to the new city."

Several Goguryeo generals were talking there.

It's just that they didn't expect that Luo Cheng didn't go to the new city after Gai Mu, although the new city was only sixty miles away from Gai Mu.

But in fact, Luo Cheng had just passed not far from Gaimu, and then turned north.

Gaimu is forty miles to the north, which is Cangyan City.

Cangyan City is forty miles away from Gaimu, but it is actually only sixty miles away from Xuanmu City, and in addition, there is actually a road between Xuansu City and Cangyan City, and it is not necessarily necessary to pass through Gaimu City. It's just that the road is wide and easy to walk through Gaimu City.

"This Cangyan City is built on the right bank of the Bo River, forty miles away from Gaimu, sixty miles away from Xuansu City, and only forty miles away from the new city. This is a mountain city, built with the help of the mountain, slightly longer from north to south, the mountain is high in the west and low in the east, and the city is four miles. The whole mountain city, except for the east side is with the help of the existing cliff, the other three sides are all artificial mountain stone fortress city, very dangerous. ”

It was Wen Shan, the former lord of Xuansu City, who was now given the position of joining the army by Luo Cheng and acting as a leading party. Wen Shan changed very quickly, his mentality was very good, maybe he was also broken.

"How many defenders are there?"

Wu Sanbao said on the side, "The original defenders of Cangyan City were 3,000, but last time they sent some reinforcements across the river to reinforce Wu Luoli, and they will never return. This time, some were transferred to counterattack Xuansu, and now even if they don't die, they are still in Gaimu City, so there are only a thousand defenders in Cangyan City at most. ”

"Don't look at the only one thousand, you really have to defend it, take the risk of the mountain city, but it's not easy to fight." Wen Shan said on the side. "But Cangyan City has a good relationship with me, and I may be able to persuade him to surrender."

"If you really want to persuade the Cangyan City Lord, I will remember you for a great achievement." Luo Cheng said to him with a smile.

At dusk.

Luo Cheng led 10,000 horses to Cangyan City, forty miles north of Gaimu.

Cangyan City in the wind and snow is built on the right bank of a river, surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is indeed very dangerous, although the city is not big, only three miles, but the terrain is extremely dangerous.

Since entering Liaodong, Luo Cheng has also had a deep understanding of these mountain cities in Liaodong.

It's not that there is no flat land in Liaodong, even in the mountains, there are a lot of flat land, but the Goguryeo people built the city on the mountain, unless there are no mountains and no posts, they don't build flat cities.

The reason, of course, is to facilitate defense.

In the years when Xianbei Murong occupied Liaodong, Goguryeo and Murong also fought for Liaodong all the time, and these mountain cities were fought over repeatedly, and sometimes, the siege of a mountain city could often be fought for several years.

Sometimes, however, it may not be possible to take a mountain city in a few years.

It can be said that the Goguryeo people have been able to occupy Liaodong for 700 years, and these large and small mountain cities are also a lot of credit.

These mountain cities everywhere embody the obscene nature of the Goguryeo people, that is, if you force you to come, I will shrink in the mountain city if you come, you have the ability to use human lives to fill in the hard attack, this kind of battle loss ratio is extremely high and undrawable. If there are fewer people, you will not be able to capture the mountain city, and if there are too many people, you will be under great logistical pressure.

If you dare to bypass the mountain city and attack the heart, then your food route will be cut off, and your back road will be cut off, and you don't want to run.

To be honest, Luo Cheng felt that these mountain cities of the Goguryeo people had the feeling of knights' castles in the European Middle Ages, and they had to fight for these castles in the middle of the European Ages.

With the Sui army being strong, if you want to fight, these mountain cities are certainly not a problem. The key is that Goguryeo has hundreds of such mountain cities in Liaodong, and any one of them can use a small number of soldiers and horses to drag a lot of Sui troops.

"General, I am willing to enter the city to persuade you to surrender!"

Wenshan is in front of the horse.

Zhao Gui stared at Wen Shan, "Who knows if you won't come out as soon as you go in?" ”

"The general laughed, my wife and children are still in Xuansu City, how dare I run."

Luo Cheng said with a smile, "Why don't you write a letter of persuasion first, and then let Ling Lang enter the city to deliver the letter for you?" ”

Wen Shan smiled awkwardly, "It's okay." ”

Luo Cheng didn't care what his real thoughts were, Wen Shan quickly wrote the letter, and then asked Wen Ren, the eldest son who also followed the army, to call the door to deliver the letter.

"Wen joins the army, do you say that the city will throw down the head of Ling Lang in a while, or the city lord will come out of the city to surrender?"

Wen Shan coughed a few times, "It will definitely fall, I am friends with Cangyan City Lord Wu Yu, and he has been squeezed out and suppressed by Yuan Jiantu, and has been depressed, now the situation, with my persuasion, I will definitely be willing to return to the team." ”

In the wind and snow, I waited for about half an hour.

The gate of Cangyan Mountain City finally opened slowly.

Wen Shan's eldest son, Wen Renze, was in front of him and was not beheaded, while he was followed by a group of Goguryeos.

"They're down, they're down." Wen Shan said happily, although what he said was good, but in fact, he had no confidence in his heart.

I was worried that my son's head would be cut off.

About a dozen men and horses came out of the city, and when they came to a hundred paces before the battle, they stopped.

Wen Ren rode back first.

"Report to the vanguard general, Wen Ren comes back to return to his life, Cangyan City Lord Wu Yu is willing to surrender, personally go out of the city to greet him, please summon the general."

Luo Cheng patted Wen Ren on the shoulder, "Very good, good performance, you can make a great achievement, this pioneer will give you the position of Bai Ma Yi from the team now." ”

That Cangyan City Lord Wu Yu was the same age as Wen Ren, and after he got permission, he dismounted and trotted over, and bowed directly in front of Luo Chengma.

Luo Cheng dismounted and helped him up.

"The city lord is righteous, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I will be very happy, thank you to the city lord for knowing the current affairs."

Wu Yu smiled a little nervously, in fact, it wasn't that he was very righteous, but the city lord was really unpopular. Wen Shan said that there are still a thousand people in the city, but in fact, there are indeed a thousand people in the city now, but they are all old and weak.

Faced with 10,000 Sui troops slaughtering, Wu Yu, the city lord who had no experience in leading troops to fight, had long been left without a master. When I saw Wen Ren and heard him talk about Luo Cheng's achievements after crossing the river, I panicked even more. And after hearing that Yuan Jiantu had been captured and surrendered, and that the 20,000 counteroffensive troops were almost killed and wounded, he no longer had the determination to defend to the death.

"Please also ask the general to be considerate of the people's feelings and treat the people in Cangyan City well."

Luo Cheng laughed, "Don't worry about this, since Cangyan City is attached, then Ben will never kill a single person in the city." ”

"Enter the city!"

10,000 soldiers and horses marched neatly into Cangyan City in the snowstorm, and none of the thousands of people in the city resisted.

Entering the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Cheng directly asked Wu Yu to write a letter asking for help and asked him to send it to Yang Wanchun in Gaimu City.

"Isn't the general trying to lead Yang Wanchun out of the city with his troops, to lure the snake out of the hole, and then to ambush him?"

"Why not, it's up to him to see if he's fooled." Luo Cheng said with a smile.
