Chapter 270: Night

Wei Zheng carried a crossbow thrown to him by Luo Cheng, and looked up at the sky shrouded in smoke, the smoke was a little thin, and it was not surprising that the Goguryeo attack should have stopped.

This is almost the same as Luo Cheng's prediction, and this round of fireworks and cavalry shooting by the Goguryeo people may be nothing more than a spy attack. Although this spy attack caused them to lose at least more than a hundred horses, it was indeed only a tentative attack.

Now, these Goguryeo people have a clear understanding of the strength of the Sui army in the camp, and know that they are not weak, this is a hard bone, and it is impossible to break the morale of the Sui army with a few rounds of cavalry shooting, and even want to rush into the camp in one go.

According to the current situation, more than 100 horsemen are the bottom limit of casualties that the Goguryeo people can bear, and if this continues, it will be a death in vain.

As the main general, Luo Cheng still sits under the flag of the Chinese army.

The camp is not big, but the arrows of the Goguryeo people cannot shoot here.

Although a camp is not as good as a city, it is not easy to get down.

Wei Zheng asked Luo Cheng, "General, the smoke has thinned, what will happen to the Goguryeo people next?" ”

After thinking for a while, Luo Cheng said slowly, "I have heard the teacher talk about some experience in battle formations, this war, fighting back and forth is actually just those routines. Siege or field battle, encounter battle or battle in formation, siege or reinforcement, decisive battle or stalemate. According to the situation at that time, our current situation, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an encounter, but it is not completely a field battle, we have a camp to defend, there are enough bows and arrows, the Goguryeo people have no foot soldiers, only 3,000 light cavalry, and there are no guys who attack the city and break the formation, so they don't have many choices. ”

Guo Xiaoke's five personal guards stood on one side, and their ears pricked up in response.

"General, can you explain it?" Wang Tiehan is more honest and asks if he doesn't understand.

"To put it simply, the Goguryeo people will definitely not continue to fight like this now, and the losses in this way will be far higher than ours, and we have enough arrows, and they will not be able to rush into the camp without exhausting their blood, and if they can't rush in, the advantage of light cavalry will be useless."

"Therefore, the Goguryeo people should either withdraw their troops now, turn around and leave, and not waste with us here. Or, just surround us. We have 6,000 people here, and it's not a small number for people to eat horses every day. Wei Ji room, how long can the grain and grass we accompany the army support? Luo Cheng asked Wei Zheng.

"When we came out, the Minzhuang battalion brought our 6,000 people 20 days of food and grass, and each of our soldiers had emergency spare food that could support 10 days, and it was 10 days since we came out, so we can still support 20 days, if we save some food, it can support about a month."

Although the 2,000 soldiers were supported by 4,000 people carrying grain, the 4,000 people also had to consume grain, two liters of rice per person a day, 120 stone of grain for 6,000 people a day, 1780 stone for the grain that had not been eaten, and 500 stone for a day with a large number of horses and mules.

Six thousand people carried 10,000 stone grain with the army, but it was only enough for twenty days.

"If you really want to hold on, you will definitely be able to hold on more, but if you can't kill horses and mules and eat meat, you can still hold on for another month. However, this battle will definitely not last so long, this is not a city, and our reinforcements will arrive within a few days, so if the Goguryeo people surround us, they will either be sure to break the camp within two or three days, or they will prepare to send reinforcements. ”

Wei Zheng shook his head, "It's unlikely that reinforcements will come, Luo Ya will come over, that is, 10,000 soldiers, how many Goguryeo people can there be in Wuliluo?" If the Goguryeo people had to transfer troops from the east bank of the Liao River, such a big movement would have been discovered by our Sui army scouts. ”

In other words, the Goguryeo people were left with only two choices, either to break through the Sui camp within three days, or to withdraw.

"The 3,000 Goguryeo people withdrew like this, and it is estimated that they will be unwilling, so there will definitely be a battle to be fought in the next three days, and it will be a tough battle." Luo Cheng said and looked up at the sky, well, the sky was very dark.

"I guess the Goguryeo people will stop soon, and then they will wait until it gets dark and then attack at night."

The night raid is very difficult, but it is more beneficial to the elite side.

Then, as Luo Cheng expected, the Goguryeo people, who had lost more than 100 cavalry, gave up the hope of breaking the camp, Mingjin withdrew his troops and retreated.

However, Luo Cheng believes that these people will definitely not leave, and of course he will not be deceived.

He ordered the battlefield to be cleaned, the wounded were treated, the corpses were collected, and then the camp was fortified and troops were sent to dig additional horse pits outside the camp.

At dusk, the camp was full of the smell of meat, the war was imminent, Luo Cheng was not stingy, let the people's battalion kill pigs and sheep, killed many livestock brought with the army, and then stewed meat in a big pot, not only the soldiers each shared a pound of meat, but also the auxiliary soldiers also shared half a pound of meat per person, and the broth was full.

There was no wine, and Luo Cheng walked around the camp with a bowl of broth, and saw that the morale was high.

After today's battle, Luo Cheng immediately asked Wei Zheng to count the results of the battle, and directly gave a heavy reward to the soldiers who shot and killed the Goguryeo people, and for each horse shot killed, the reward was ten times.

There are even some outstanding people who were promoted by the fire line and awarded the positions of fire captain and team vice-president.

The other government soldiers who failed to shoot the enemy cavalry also ate meat and drank soup in large bowls.

After turning around and returning to the big tent under the Chinese army, Luo Cheng said, "We have to do our best tonight, and the Goguryeo people will definitely do their best tonight, and the victory or defeat will be tonight." ”

It's getting dark.

The camp after a day of hustle and bustle gradually quieted down.

By the time of the third watch, the camp was dark, with only a few dim lanterns still flickering.

The Sui army camp seemed to be asleep.

Shi Meng lay in the tent, his head resting on Jianlu, and his closed eyes suddenly opened.

"General, the Goguryeo people are here."

"How many came?"

"It's all coming."

Luo Cheng pricked up his ears to listen, but he didn't hear anything.

"How do you hear that, you have to lie on the ground and listen to it. If you put a drum on the ground, you can hear it more clearly. Or bury an iron pot or urn in the ground, and you can hear it clearly. ”

Luo Cheng put his helmet on the ground and listened to it, but he could only hear a slight vibration.

It is not possible to tell from this that there is an enemy attacking outside, let alone how many people are coming.

"You have to practice this, you can't master it without ten years of hard work."

Luo Cheng smiled, and didn't bother listening anymore, anyway, he couldn't hear clearly.

"Pass the order down, let the battalions prepare, the Goguryeo people are finally here."

Not far from the camp, Goguryeo light horsemen with horses wrapped in hooves quietly touched them in the dark night.

When they were only five hundred paces away from the Sui camp, they began to speed up.

Thousands of horses galloped.

The quiet earth was awakened by this tremor.

"Kill!" The Goguryeo people waved their swords and roared, as if they wanted to be ashamed of the snow tonight and the day.
