Chapter 308: Wind and Snow Entering Xuanxuan
The heirs are in the lead.
The horse galloped into the city of Xuansu, with a thousand light horsemen behind him, two thousand horsemen and foot soldiers, wearing white cloaks and galloping into them like the wind.
At the gate of the city, the children of the Han family were still fighting with the Goguryeo defenders with swords.
Siye galloped closer, brandished his Mo knife, and slashed a Goguryeo soldier wearing leather armor with a single sword.
There were only 500 defenders left in the city, and many of them were on vacation today, the first day of the Lunar New Year. The wind and snow made them relax their vigilance, what they never expected was that many of the children of the Han family in this city had already been secretly awakened by Ma Sanbao and quietly organized.
The inside should be combined with the outside, and the Xuansu City was broken by a blow in the wind and snow.
"Whoever resists with an army, kill!"
"All the Chinese New Year lanterns hanging in front of the house are my Han family, and they should not be harassed."
One order after another is given.
The three thousand vanguard soldiers in the front compartment soon occupied all parts of the small Xuansu City.
The rebellious Goguryeo people were crushed and chopped by iron hooves, swords and spears, and the heirs were killed all the way to the city lord's mansion.
Wen Shan carried a spear and led a team of domestic servants to guard the door.
The heir is condescending.
He waved his knife and pointed directly at Wen Shan.
"You are the Xuansu City Lord?"
Wen Shan trembled, don't look at him carrying a spear, in fact, he is a civil official, although Goguryeo is also the world that will fight immediately, but now it is also a kingdom of hundreds of years, and naturally there are a large number of scholars.
The books Wen Shan reads are actually no different from those read by the Central Plains, they also read Han poetry and classics, but they also read Goguryeo historical records left by Goguryeo's civil officials.
"I am the city lord Wen Shan, who are you?"
Si Ye smiled, "Me? I am Luo Siye, the commander of the vanguard general of the million-dollar Liao army of the Great Sui Empire in the Central Plains, and I came to seize Xuansu City under the order of the vanguard general Luo Cheng. ”
"You are shameless and unrighteous without declaring war!"
Heiye said disdainfully, "Undeclared war? Bah! ”
"When did you cross the river?" Wen Shan asked again, he couldn't have imagined that this Sui army could be killed in the city silently.
"It's okay to tell you, it's the river that crossed early this morning."
Leave at dawn and arrive at dusk – a short trip.
Sixty miles away, the Sui army killed all the way, he actually had no news, and Wen Shan was defeated.
Si Ye picked up the Mo knife and slapped it a few times on Wen Shan's head.
"What are you still doing in a daze, don't put down your sword and surrender!"
Wen Shan wanted to resist, but he only felt that the spear in his hand was extremely heavy, and then looked at the Sui army that was like a heavenly soldier descending, and the only anger in his heart went away with the wind.
To live or to die?
Fight or surrender?
In the end, Wen Shan threw down the spear in his hand and said dejectedly, "I'll surrender!" ”
Zhao Gui, the deputy general who came later, just saw this Wen Shan's eggless cowardice, and couldn't help but slap his face with a three-pointed fork, "You are also a fucking city lord, why are you so unpresentable, you will descend when you say that it will fall, so you can hold on a few more times." ”
Unexpectedly, Wen Shan retorted with a red face, "Although I am the lord of the city, there are only five hundred guards in the city, but there are also internal thieves, and now that the city has been broken, what's the use of me insisting?" Besides, it was not that he was unwilling to fight, but that the city lord of the new city deliberately made it difficult for me everywhere, not only did he remove half of the guards in my city before, but he also refused to send troops to supplement it later, and I also sent people to ask for troops several times, but he shouldn't, he made it clear that he just wanted to see death and not save him, so why should I. ”
Siye chuckled.
If the generals and officials of Goguryeo were like this, this expedition to Liao would be quite easy.
General Du Fuwei said excitedly, "No matter what, general, we have already taken a city on the east bank of the Liao River, and we have captured and forced a city lord to surrender, which is amazing." ”
Hei Ye pouted, "This Xuansu City Lord is only the last of the fourth-class city lords, which is equivalent to a seven-grade small county order in our Great Sui, this Xuansu City is only five hundred defenders, and my Han family should seize the city, so we don't have much success." ”
Although Heiye looked down on Wen Shan's intimidation, it was still somewhat useful after he surrendered, and Wen Shan gave several orders, and the Goguryeo citizens, who had still had some sporadic resistance, abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
They don't listen to the Sui army, but they can listen to the Wen Shan.
With the persuasion of Wenshan, the fighting in the city was extinguished, and the treasury of the city was also preserved.
The auxiliary prince led the soldiers to receive them one by one, and it turned out that he had actually made a fortune.
After the treasury was cleared and sealed, he laughed and entered the city lord's mansion to tell Heiye the good news.
"Damn, this Xuansu City is not big, but there are a lot of good things, there are hundreds of thousands of stone grain in the city, and there are also a large number of ordnance, and there are hundreds of thousands of arrows alone."
Siye looked at Wen Shan, who was still sweating profusely on his head.
"How come there are so many supplies, grain and grass in the little Xuansu City?"
Wenshan is also broken jars.
"Although our Xuansu City is small and weak, it has many fields and fertile land, and it has always produced a lot of food. A large amount of grain can be harvested every year to supply the military of Xincheng, Gaimu, Wuli City and other cities. Before the siege of Wuli Luo City, the city lord of Xincheng gathered 5,000 soldiers and horses to cross the river to rescue, and also transported a lot of ordnance, most of which were transported to Xuansu City first, but who expected that as soon as the reinforcements crossed the river, they were blocked by the Sui army The Liao River, and the follow-up grain and grass ordnance could not cross the river, and could only temporarily exist in Xuansu City. The city lord of Xincheng was still organizing soldiers and horses to prepare to cross the river again, but who would have thought that Wuli Luo City would be lost so quickly, and 5,000 reinforcements would also be wiped out, so the rescue would not be done, and those materials and ordnance would be temporarily left in Xuansu City. ”
"Then it's cheaper for us." Si Ye smiled and looked at the list again, "Copy a copy and send it to the vanguard general quickly." ”
Because Luo Cheng took heavy soldiers and a large number of grain and grass supplies, he walked a few hours longer than Heiye for sixty miles, and by the time he arrived, the sky was already dark.
Looking at Xuansu City, which was located on a low hill in the middle of the plain, and looking at the eye-catching red vanguard flag on it, Luo Cheng smiled, but his face was a little frozen, and this smile was not perfect.
"I didn't expect the person arranged by Li Taishou to be so effective, I didn't expect anything, but I didn't expect a surprise."
Wei Zheng sighed at his hands, rubbed his hands vigorously, and then rubbed his face.
"It's really a bonus, it seems that this follow-up plan is not useful."
Originally, Luo Cheng wanted to besiege the city to help, first besiege Xuansu City, and then force Gai Mu and Xincheng to send troops to help, and then he arranged for people to intercept halfway, besiege the city for reinforcements, and ambush in the wild, and did not really plan to attack the city.
Pai Siye came at a gallop, but it was because Hou Mo Chen Yi said that there was a dark chess piece in Xuansu, which might be able to wake up and play a role. Luo Cheng just sent Heiye with the mentality of giving it a try, but he really didn't expect that the secret chess of the Ministry of War could play such a big role.
"How many people were injured in the broken city?"
"About a dozen." Du Fuwei, who came to greet him, told Luo Cheng.
"Only a dozen?" Luo Cheng was even more surprised, it seems that this Xuansu City is really easy to take.
"Well, thanks to Wu Sanbao and other Han family sons in the city, they seized the city gate and let us enter the city easily, and the city lord Wen Shan was a soft bone, surrendered directly, and also ordered the Goguryeo people in the city to surrender, so there was no resistance. In addition, we sent it this time, and there are hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass in the city, as well as a large number of ordnance, and there are hundreds of thousands of arrows alone. ”
Luo Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Damn, I thought it was an inconspicuous town, but I didn't expect it to be a baby." ”
