Chapter 433: Zhang Wang

The weather in Pyongyang is not very hot, but it is very pleasant to stand on top of the city walls and face the wind blowing from the muddy water.

July is the rainy season in Pyongyang, and some days the rain can even fall for five or six days, which is tireless. For example, it has been raining for three days now.

The rain has risen a lot in the past few days, but it is nothing for the big ships of the Tang army that are difficult to move in the sea.

Every morning and afternoon, more than a dozen Haigu warships will send dozens of 100-kilogram stones to Pyongyang on time. However, the sailors at this time did not have the excitement of starting to throw stones. After all, there are not many people in the east of Pyongyang City, and smashing them will have no effect, at most they will serve as a deterrent to the enemy.

On this day, a sailor was looking at the situation in Pyongyang City from the mast, when he suddenly saw a large number of Goryeo soldiers holding large shields on the city wall, and immediately shouted excitedly: "Someone, brothers, someone is here, hurry up and prepare!" ”

At the head of Pyongyang, under the protection of the shield-wielding soldiers, Yuangai Suwen boarded the head of Pyongyang and looked at the Tang fleet on the muddy water.

"Are these ships going to send out boulder attacks?" Although Yuan Gai Suwen was surprised by the height of the Tang Army's warship, he still asked.

"That's right! It's these big boats, and the small ones are not a threat! The general next to him said.

As soon as the general's words were finished, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the soldiers. Yuangai Suwen and the general turned their heads to look, only to see that the three black dots were gradually getting bigger, but three stones the size of a grinding disc were flying towards this side.

"Don't leave the branch, be careful!" When the general saw the stone flying, he hurriedly reminded him.

Yuangai Suwen snorted coldly, but he didn't avoid it, and stood calmly in place. Seeing this, the soldiers next to him did not dare to make any changes.

"Boom, boom—" Only three loud noises were heard, and it seemed that the entire city wall shook for a moment.

I saw a stone the size of a grinding disc smashed on the city wall, and the other could cross the city and fall into the city.

"Let's go!" Yuangai Suwen took a deep look at those Tang Army warships and calmly went down the city wall.

As soon as they were gone, more than a dozen stones the size of a millstone flew over, two of which smashed on the top of the city.

Yuangai Suwen was in a very bad mood, he wanted to go to see the granaries in the city, and saw many wooden signs next to each granary, which wrote in Chinese characters: "The grain and grass have been poisoned". In order to verify whether they were really poisoned, Yuangai Suwen had chickens and dogs and other livestock experimented, and the animals that ingested the food were actually foaming at the mouth and died.

Seeing this situation, Yuangai Suwen had no choice but to ask people to dig open the top grain of the granary to see if the grain below was also poisoned.

Then, when he was climbing the city wall, he was attacked by a Tang Dynasty warship, and he was really angry.

As for the treasure king Gao Zang, Yuan Gai Suwen simply ignored him. A puppet emperor, dead is dead. After all, he was worried about military rations at the moment.

"Da Mo is out of the branch, General Gao, who is guarding the Yalu River, has sent a fast horse to ask you for grain and grass!"

As soon as Yuangai Suwen returned to the camp outside the city, his own soldiers came up to report.

"Hmph, grain and grass, where did I get the grain and grass, those military rations in the city have been poisoned by the damned Tang Army, how can I use it?" Yuangai Suwen said as if complaining.

At this time, the pro-soldier looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"What? What is there to say? Look at the way you spit, what are you talking like! Yuangai Suwen glanced at his own soldiers and said dissatisfied.

The pro-soldier hurriedly pleaded guilty and said, "Please don't leave the branch to forgive the sin!" The villain walked in the city of Pyongyang, saw that the family had surplus grain, and wondered, and only after asking did he know that before the Tang army left, a large amount of grain and grass was distributed to the people in the city, and it is said that at least 80,000 stone were distributed...... "Speaking of this, the pro-soldier did not speak. Because Yuangai Suwen had already stretched out his hand and motioned for him to shut up.

"Hehe, the people in the city have received food and grass for our army?" Yuangai Suwen muttered to himself, "Then let them come back!" ”

As a result, Yuangai Suwen ordered his corporal to die in the city of Pyongyang, and wantonly confiscated the grain and grass that the Tang army had issued to the civilians in the city. This, of course, caused dissatisfaction among the common people, and what came to their hands was still to be taken away, which was certainly not pleasant. But forced by the residual power formed by Yuangai Suwen for a long time, how can ordinary people not obey?

Therefore, Yuangai Suwen quickly gathered 50,000 stones of grain and grass and prepared to send it to General Gao, who was stationed on the Yalu River.

However, he also knew that the 5,000-strong Tang cavalry had never left at all, but was moving in a vast area north of Pyongyang. Therefore, for the escort of these 50,000 stone grains and grass, Yuangai Suwen was very attentive, and sent a total of 8,000 cavalry to escort some military rations.

Half a day after the convoy carrying military rations left the city, a group of 10,000 foot soldiers also left the city, leaving the convoy carrying grain from afar.

Yuan Gai Suwen not only had to send this grain and grass to the Yalu River, but also took the opportunity to lure the Tang army out and catch it all.

"Zhang Yunwen!" Yuan Gai Suwen muttered this name hatefully, and his eyes were full of hatred.

At this time, Zhang Yunwen was leading the scouts to wait for the others on the edge of Sashui.

Today is another five-day meeting.

"I've seen the general!" "I've seen my lord!"

Over time, one by one, generals with hundreds of cavalry came here. After the arrival of 5,000 men and horses, the wide river beach still seemed a little crowded.

"Haha, Brother Duan, little brother heard that you have been addicted to it recently!" Seeing Duan Yunsong, some generals said with a smile.

Duan Yunsong waved his hand: "Alas, don't mention it, it's just a patrol team of three hundred people, what's so enjoyable!" ”

"Brother Duan's appetite is also too great. I immediately knew that a few of us had been running for five days, and we hadn't even seen a single Korean hair! That's fucking uncomfortable! ”

"Haha, that's because you're waiting for your bad luck! Every time you go out, you have to burn three sticks of incense! ”

As soon as these words fell, everyone burst into laughter.

"Okay, don't make a fuss, there's a big fish waiting for me this time!" Zhang Yunwen said softly.

"Big fish? Oh, my lord is talking about the 8,000 cavalry who escorted the grain and grass! ”

Zhang Yunwen nodded: "In addition to the eight thousand cavalry, there is also an infantry of 10,000 people behind!" It seems that this Yuan Gai Suwen wants to catch me all! ”

The generals also nodded and said, "Eighteen thousand paces!" That Yuan Gai Suwen really looks up to us! However, although there are 18,000 people, if you have a good life, you can eat it! ”

When Zhang Yunwen heard this, he shook his head: "I have thought about it carefully, this time I attacked Pyongyang, and the operation we waited for was a failure, and now I am fighting guerrillas in this place!" Now, the situation on His Majesty's side is unknown, but in my guess, at least the Yalu River should be defeated. So I decided that after this battle, I would lead the troops to the Yalu River to meet Your Majesty! ”

Everyone heard Zhang Yunwen's arrangement, and they had nothing to say. After all, the goal of the original attack on Pyongyang was to kill Yuangai Suwen and occupy the city of Pyongyang. Who would have expected that this Yuan Gai Suwen would lead the troops out, and under the pressure of the enemy, Pyongyang City would have to give up. Neither of the two goals was achieved. Staying here now is not a long-term solution, it is better to return to the army as soon as possible.

However, if the world changes, like a white cloud and a dog, how can it go according to plan? For example, now, when Zhang Yunwen and others were gathering in Sasu, a cavalry of 5,000 people and 10,000 infantry under the leadership of Yuangai Suwen also slowly left Pyongyang.

Yuangai Suwen sent troops this time, but he was not specifically for Zhang Yunwen and others, but was ready to reinforce the Yalu River after exterminating Zhang Yunwen and others. The departure of this fifteen-thousand-step ride, Zhang Yunwen and others did not know at all.
