Chapter 227: Counting
The 70,000 troops of Goguryeo had already set off the day after Chu Feng left, so I have to say that their speed was fast enough.
For an army of 70,000, 50,000 Goguryeo people are needed, and 20,000 are Khitan people.
50,000 Goguryeo people, this time the boss is Jin Yuan, coincidentally, it is the brother of the person who was captured by Li Yingzhi before.
In order to reassure the Khitans, this time the Khitans dispatched 20,000 horses, but they also sent a general, that is, Xiao Ping's younger brother, Xiao Ye.
The army was also heading in the direction of Lelang County.
However, compared to the rapid march of the Chu Feng army at the beginning, their Goguryeo army was much more calm.
After all, today's Lelang County and Xuansu County are all in the hands of their Goguryeo, so this is at least their territory.
Therefore, they are in their own territory, so naturally they don't need to be as cautious as Chu Feng and them.
"General Jin, now that the Tang army is heading towards Lelang County, they are marching in a hurry, there must be a plan, please be careful."
When the army was resting, Xiao Ye looked around, and then came to Jin Yuan's side and reminded him.
Obviously, I was just a day late, but what was the result?
Now there is still no shadow of the Tang Army, which shows that the marching speed of the Tang Army is higher than the marching speed on weekdays.
"General Xiao doesn't have to filter much, even if this Tang army rushes to Lelang County in a hurry, there is nothing unusual."
"Do they think that when they arrive, they will be able to take Lelang County in one fell swoop?"
Jin Yuan glanced at Xiao Ye, and then immediately said with a smile.
"No matter how fast the Tang Army is, how much faster can they be? They marched in such a hurry, even if they arrived in Lelang County, it would be impossible to settle the battle in one battle. ”
"With the defense of Lelang County, even if his Tang Army is powerful, it will be no problem at all if he holds on for ten days and half a month."
"At that time, do you think that we are going out, isn't it just an internal and external attack, how can the Tang Army not be defeated?"
Jin Yuan looked at Xiao Ye and said, he felt that Xiao Ye was still too careful.
But also, they Khitans, where is the defense of Qinglelang County.
Besides, the Khitans are not as powerful as Goguryeo today, so it is not incomprehensible that they are not good at fighting and are too cautious in doing things.
Xiao Ye also seemed to notice the difference in Jin Yuan's gaze, so he didn't say anything more.
Anyway, Lelang County is also the territory of their Goguryeo people, and they are on guard against themselves everywhere.
To put it bluntly, it's just distrust, so why bother talking about it.
When the Khitan is strong, then they can agree with their own views.
The army continued to advance, which was easy for the group of Goguryeo centaurs, but even so.
After arriving at a certain place, he will take a break on time, which seems to have become a habit for Jin Yuan.
Anyway, he doesn't need to worry about Lelang County not being able to hold it, all he needs to do is to lead his troops to cooperate with the inside and outside attacks.
After another day's journey, even if their speed was not fast, they were about to arrive at Lelang County.
"General, there is still more than a day to go to Lelang County, but we still haven't seen the shadow of the Tang Army."
"If they really plan to attack Lelang County, spies and sentry should be planted here, so that we can prevent us from leading a large army to support and attack back and forth."
"Now Tang Jun has not done this, I am afraid that there is fraud in it."
Xiao Ye observed the surroundings, and then said, if you want to go to Lelang County, you have to climb over this mountain.
So naturally, we can't take it lightly, and now that something is wrong, how can we underestimate the enemy.
"General Xiao, you are growing the morale of others and destroying your own prestige, do you think the Tang Army is so powerful?"
"It is estimated that they are only thinking about how to take Lelang County as soon as possible at this time, how could they have the heart to plant spies here?"
Jin Yuan glanced at Xiao Ye, and then said very disapprenanently.
"General Xiao, you are still too worried, think about it, is it our army that is powerful, or the Tang army?"
"Naturally, our army is powerful." Xiao Ye glanced at Jin Yuan and said.
"Since that's the case, isn't that okay, don't say that their Tang Army is incompetent, there will be no ambush, even if there is, how can they help us?"
Jin Yuan looked at Xiao Ye and said, but his contempt for Xiao Ye in his heart was even deeper.
It's just a Khitan defeatist, but there are so many words, if you Khitans are really that powerful.
Then it will not let their army fall into the ground, and finally have to succumb to them.
Therefore, Jin Yuan didn't care about the Khitan army and Xiao Ye at all.
No amount of talk can change this fact.
Xiao Ye saw that no matter what he said, it was useless, so he didn't speak.
This group of Goguryeo people is too arrogant, and now they just have some advantages, so arrogant.
At the beginning, it was beaten several times, and the lessons of the capital being breached were forgotten.
I only hope that my guess is wrong, otherwise, it doesn't matter if this group of Goguryeo people dies.
However, there are still 20,000 prayer warriors under his command, and it is not worth it to lose along with this group of arrogant Goguryeos.
Chu Feng's army was naturally hidden in this mountain forest, and this was the only place to ambush.
And they've been resting here for more than a day.
The previous rapid march was to distance himself so that he could rest and recuperate, and at the same time it could also give people an illusion.
That is, he must be in a hurry to capture Lelang County.
After Jin Yuan and the others rested, they led the army into the mountains and forests, which was the only way to Lelang County.
If you want to make a detour, you will have to walk for several more days, and there is no way to cut off the retreat of Chu Feng's army.
So how could Jin Yuan let go of such a road.
"General Xiao, since you are so cautious, then you lead 20,000 people under your command to the rear, and our army is in the front, so that if there is anything, you can also deal with each other."
When entering the mountain, Jin Yuan looked at Xiao Ye and said with a smile.
I don't know if he also thought of something in his heart, or if he just deliberately mentioned this matter to make fun of Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye won't guess Jin Yuan's thoughts, it's better, if something really happens, then the group of Goguryeo soldiers will bear the brunt.
Chu Feng's army was hidden in the mountains, and it had already been ambushed, and gifts had been prepared for them.
Not only the archers are ready, but even the gunpowder buried in the ground is also ready to charge.
"See, there are no ambushes at all, this group of Khitans is just cowardly, you look at the one surnamed Xiao, I let him be behind, he doesn't know how happy he is."
Jin Yuan looked at the people around him and said with a smile.
Now that he has entered the mountain, there is still no movement, Jin Yuan is even more relaxed, and his words are also echoed.
"The Khitans and the Tang Army are generally useless, and now they are already scared, so they are so careful."
"That's right, how can these Tang troops be our opponents."
There are a lot of similar words, which makes Jin Yuan very happy.
But soon all this changed, and suddenly there was a loud sound, and the ground seemed to explode.
Then the corpses of Goguryeo soldiers flew up.
"This colt has been waiting for a long time, so take this great gift."
Chu Feng gave an order, and then the archers on both sides continued to shoot arrows.
Arrows rained down, and the Goguryeo army was caught off guard, so how could they resist it?
And from time to time, there will be a sound under your feet, and every time it sounds, it is the remains of a broken arm.
Soon the Goguryeo army had already begun to mess up, where had they ever seen such a formation.
Jin Yuan was also a little panicked, and he was afraid that life and death would be unpredictable if he was ambushed here.
"Will you Tang Army only use such despicable means, but dare to come down and fight." Jin Yuan shouted.
"Burn the pen." Chu Feng scolded directly, "Shoot me hard and let them know that this is not a place where their Goguryeo people can go wild." ”
"Since you're here, let's stay as fertilizer."
Suddenly, the rain of arrows became more intensive.
