Chapter Seventy-Nine: Breaking Through and Being Besieged Again
It is said that Chu Jiang led the temporary gathering of 3,000 soldiers to move around the nameless hill, sent someone to detect the situation of the troops surrounding the mountain, and left thirty miles to station. Chu Jiang knew that attacking at this time was nothing more than killing these few people, and it would have little impact on the result. If you wait for the Goguryeo people to attack the mountain before making a sneak attack, the effect of surprise will be several times that of the current one.
What's more, the Goguryeo people are now in the midst of infighting.
The boss has been wary of the second child for a long time, and the second child has coveted the boss for many days. In the last battle across the river, the soldiers and horses in the old second-hand were beaten to the point that there were only more than 1,000 people left, and this time he felt that it was not fun, and proposed to let the boss Gao Chan divide the troops to him.
How could Gao Chan agree?
He didn't have many soldiers in his hands, so he brought out 20,000 horses from the country, and when he crossed the river, he only had less than 10,000. The boss asked the third child to guard the grain road and the ferry, and only then was there a large number of soldiers left. Don't say that the second soldier will not divide the troops, even if the second soldier becomes the commander of the light pole, he will not divide the troops to him.
Now the strength of the three brothers surrounding the nameless hill is: the eldest is 7,000, the second is 1,000, and the third is 2,000.
Gao Chan refused to give soldiers, and Gao Feng refused to give food. He was defeated when he crossed the ferry for the first time, and when the news reached the capital, his mother blew the wind in Gao Yuan's ear, and let Gao Feng take charge of the whole army's grain and grass. Although the grain road is guarded by the third Gao Cong, the granary of the army is managed by Gao Feng. If Gao Feng does not give food, the whole army will have to starve.
Don't give food, okay, it's just a granary with the army, and when the food is sent later, I will just deduct it? Gao Chan thought so. But when he went to talk to Gao Cong, he ate a closed door, and Gao Cong pretended to be sick and disappeared.
It seems that the second and third are united! Gao Chan was shocked in his heart, and comfortingly distributed a thousand men and horses to Gao Feng to restore the supply of military rations. The 1,000 people sent out were not simple, they were all very supportive of Gao Chan, although they were under Gao Feng, but as long as Gao Chan gave an order, they still obeyed Gao Chan.
The matter of infighting has been temporarily alleviated, Gao Feng and Gao Cong each guard one side, and Gao Chan guards both sides. This time, he swore that he would not let go of Broken Hongchen again, and would destroy him in a battle!
A nameless hill, dark and windy at night, a figure flickering among the trees. This person, the protagonist who is officially surrounded - Broken Hongchen. Armed with a steel knife wrapped in black cloth and dressed in an all-black night suit, Duan Hongchen walked through the jungle as if he were walking on the ground.
Ghostly!
After a while, Duan Hongchen had already jumped out of the encirclement of the Goguryeo people silently. Don't forget, Broken Hongchen is the highest martial artist in the Dark River!
Duan Hongchen estimated that the reinforcements should be nearby, and he jumped out of the encirclement alone, not for anything else, just to contact the reinforcements.
Running out of twenty miles in one breath, as soon as the sky was bright, the broken red dust quickly sent out a signal - three beams of black smoke rushed up from a primeval jungle.
This black smoke will definitely be seen by people within ten miles of the surrounding area. Of course, the reinforcements will see it, and the Goguryeo people will see it too. But now that it's been twenty miles away, the Goguryeo scouts won't go that far, right?
Black smoke, Chu Jiang received. At the time of the three incense sticks, his people found the broken red dust five miles away from the place where the black smoke was emitted.
Lead him to a secret place:
"Bohai King ......" Chu Jiang gave a military salute, but he was not attached to the courtesy.
Duan Hongchen didn't care, and waved his hand: "General Chu is polite, I came here in embarrassment this time, just to ask General Chu to help me." "Chu Jiang is Xu Qing's general, and if he can't command Hongchen, he can only ask.
Chu Jiang said: "Hmm...... The King of Bohai is the brother of my lord, if the King of Bohai is in trouble, he will protect you well, but now that the King of Bohai is intact, I am afraid that I will ...... below."
"General Chu, it's not a pity for me to die, but the more than 2,000 soldiers in my hands who have families can't die here!" Broken Hongchen was a little excited.
"King Bohai, the lives of my subordinates are also lives!" Chu Jiang said righteously, the soldiers he brought over, there are also a thousand Cangzhou state soldiers.
"General Chu, I have a plan, I can easily take over the siege, and then the two of us will join forces, the Goguryeo people will not dare to move, and when the time comes, the people of the Bohai country will be protected, and the Bohai country will want the children and grandchildren to remember your good ......" Broken Hongchen's words were true, and it was rare to see him so low-profile and begging. Chu Jiang let out a long sigh, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, just now he was tempting to break the red dust.
"In that case, the King of Bohai might as well tell the clever plan ......"
"Tomorrow morning...... High Seal ......"
Broken Hongchen said this and that, and sneaked back at night while it was dark. Then, Chu Jiang and Duan Hongchen both prepared their military horses.
What Duan Hongchen and Chu Jiang said was to break through from one side in the early hours of tomorrow morning, and this side chose the weakest side of Gao Feng.
In the early hours of the morning, the sergeants were all paid with grass, and the rank of the person, Mahler's mouth, and the sound of the No. 1 horn spread far away, and countless figures appeared.
Gao Feng faintly heard a military horn in his sleep, and then there was a noise all around, and he vaguely saw a torch flashing, and then someone said outside his tent: "This is the general's tent, I told you, don't kill me, don't kill me, don't kill me......"
"It's over, there's a night attack!" Gao Feng rolled over, only to find that the knife was not with him, nor was the armor by his side, and now he wanted to withdraw the ridicule he had given to those who were waiting for him.
When he was looking for a knife barefoot, many soldiers had rushed in outside the tent, and a burst of knives slashed at him, and the corpse of Gao Seal was in a different place.
When Duan Hongchen was playing the high sealing camp, he felt a little strange. That is, Gao Feng's camp was much easier than he imagined, if he had known in advance, he would definitely not have gone to find Chu Jiang, but rushed out alone with his soldiers.
Chu Jiang also wondered, the strategy of cutting off Hongchen is too clever, it is easy to say, but it is really easy, it is like cutting wheat.
The two joined forces and were about to burn down the Gofeng camp when a group of Goguryeo people rushed out of the mountain shouting.
There was an ambush, no wonder the camp was taken so easily. In order to avoid excessive casualties, prevent the troops from retreating while fighting.
When retreating, I only felt that there were fewer and fewer pursuers, wasn't it an ambush?
All the pursuers gradually disappeared, it was already from early morning to morning, the soldiers were tired, and they were all together with Hongchen and Chu Jiang, and they chose a place to temporarily station, and when they were thinking about going everywhere, a large number of troops appeared under the sun.
Look around, it's all Goguryeo! This is the real ambush......
The strategy of breaking the red dust was estimated by Gao Chan. At this time, Gao Chan had already transferred all the soldiers from the rear grain road and the ferry, and quietly withdrew the 1,000 people that Gao Feng had previously assigned. In this way, Duan Hongchen and Chu Jiang felt that it was particularly easy to attack the Gaofeng camp.
The 1,000 men who had withdrawn did not go far, but lay in ambush around, and when Broken Hongchen captured the camp, they bluffed out and played the role of driving away the prey. Broken Hongchen followed Gao Chan's plan all the way......
There is another important reason why Gao Chan did not choose to do it earlier, that is, he borrowed Hongchen's hand to kill Gao Feng.
"Damn, my broken red dust was actually calculated by such a hairy boy!" For Duan Hongchen, this time not only did he not jump out of the encirclement, but he caused a commotion, which can be described as a big loss. Killing Gao Yuan's son, who knows what the old man will do to be excited?
That's a long-term consideration, and I can't manage it now, but what I need to manage is the urgent need at hand.
Coupled with the soldiers of the grain road and the ferry, they snatched the soldiers of the third Gao Cong, and Gao Chan had more than 10,000 troops in his hands. In the hands of Duan Hongchen and Chu Jiang, there are only 5,000 people in total. One to two, and without the advantage of troops, the side of Broken Hongchen will definitely lose.
Gao Chan didn't attack for a long time, only sent people to check from afar, looking at the rising sun, he couldn't help but smile.
Let's sun, let's sun, it's best to die one or two.
Duan Hongchen also realized that he chose to camp here, just to take a rest, because this place was well hidden, but he did not consider the water source and other aspects.
As soon as the scorching sun broke, there was nowhere to hide, and the sergeants sweated like rain. After drinking a little bit of stored water, there is no water to replenish, the mouth is dry, and the morale is greatly reduced more and more!
Alas, it's really a wrong step, and it's hard to take a step.
Suddenly, Chu Jiang came over and took a bamboo tube and handed it to Duan Hongchen. Duan Hongchen shook his head and signaled that he would not drink it, but Chu Jiang said, "Look at this water ......"
Broken Hongchen looked into the bamboo tube, huh? Can this water be drunk? Muddy water......
Indeed, the water in this bamboo tube is very turbid, and on weekdays, she is dirty when she does laundry. Broken Hongchen took a sip and found that this water, cool and cool, well water?
Where did the well come from?!
Duan Hongchen looked at Chu Jiang's soldiers and found that although they were also sitting in a scattered manner and as if they had lost a battle, they did not find that they were depressed. It's greasy!
Looking closely, I saw that Chu Jiang's soldiers were quietly digging with a short shovel. The excavated soil was quietly transported out, and it happened to be blocked by the scattered people who were sitting.
They were digging improvised wells......
Duan Hongchen glanced at Chu Jiang excitedly, and then complained: "Good boy, you gave it to me when you were full!" ”
After speaking, Duan Hongchen didn't give Chu Jiang a chance to defend himself, and hurriedly went to dig a well for the other soldiers to follow this method.
With a thirst for water, everyone was very cooperative, and one person contributed the strength of two people, and quickly dug a lot.
The wells dug were not deep, some had no water, and there were few waters, but they were able to make most people drink a small sip. As time passed, the well slowly deepened and the water slowly leached out.
If you can't be defeated by the weather, then how can you defend against 10,000 well-armed and high-morale Goguryeos.
The garrison was hastily stationed, there were almost no fortifications, it was all up to men, except for the slight advantage of crossbow arrows, the others had no advantage. Moreover, on land, the infantry can flexibly use their shields to resist crossbow arrows, what is the use of crossbow arrows?
In the afternoon, when the sun was a little weaker, but it was when the people were sleepy and tired, and the Goguryeo people moved. Rows of infantry, holding high thick shields, gathered in unison!
Broken Hongchen quickly formed a circular formation, ready to meet this life-and-death battle!
The Goguryeo people are approaching step by step, and it seems that the laughter of the Goguryeo people can be heard in Duan Hongchen!
The air in the distance suddenly trembled:
"Wow......"
"Ula Ula~"
