Chapter 67: Operation Decapitation
Chapter 67: Operation Decapitation
"Goryeo, Goguryeo......" Xu Qing muttered in his heart, secretly scolding that he had made the wrong person. After Goguryeo lost the war with the Tang, the whole nation moved into the Central Plains, and it was not the Goguryeo people who later established the state on the peninsula at all, but the Silla people living in the southern part of the peninsula. After the establishment of the Silla people, it was renamed Goryeo......
After Xu Qing understood this, he smiled, and said to the kneeling prisoners with bruises in his heart: You will be exempted from the crime of robbing me of Qu Yuan, but the crime of running around my Huaxia land and causing me to come all the way is inevitable. Xu Qing didn't feel too much guilt, anyway, this Goguryeo and Goryeo are both birds of the same forest, what good things can be.
Those captives looked at Xu Qing's sinister smile, and they couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines and shiver in this hot day.
Xu Qing played like this beside him, time passed quickly, and no one knew, including Xu Qing himself, that he bullied the captives not just to vent, but to use the time of bullying the captives to escape the scene of burning the corpses of the state soldiers.
200 dead and 400 wounded...... The wounded soldiers are okay, Xu Qing has a way to reduce inflammation and stop bleeding, but the dead will never come back to life.
The corpses of the state soldiers who died in the battle were burned into ashes and transported away, and the sun was shining at this time......
After the battlefield was cleared, the captured weapons, grain and grass were loaded onto the car and transported in the direction of Xu Qi. There were some miscellaneous pieces left, piled up with the corpses of the enemy, and a fire was ignited.
At this time, Chu Jiang came to report and said:
"Ten horses captured! Fifty mules! ”
Immediately, Xu Qing was overjoyed, there were horses to ride, double. The legs finally didn't have to support their weight, and Xu Qing was so happy that he almost began to moan. Recite. Huang Shimei, Chu Jiang and others all changed into horses, mules pulled carts, wounded soldiers could sit on the goods, and two horses were left for Yang Cheng and Yang Xin.
Here is a big victory, and everyone there is in the red dust, but they are waiting for it.
Four of the five negotiation messengers came back lying down, and the one left Xi had no news. There were less than 3,000 soldiers in the city, and there were hundreds of temporarily recruited recruits, but they had to face 5,000 soldiers and 2,000 powerful Goguryeo foreign aids. Break the red dust, the pressure is very high.
Five thousand coalition troops arrived as scheduled. Duan Hongchen stood on a relatively wide arrow tower, and Xu Qi stood on the left. Beside them, more than a dozen members of the Dark River were armed with crossbow arrows, looking around vigilantly. Duan Hongchen looked at the enemy army who refused to attack for a long time, and couldn't help but wonder. He didn't know that in the enemy barracks in the distance, several leaders were already arguing on their own:
"Hmph, I'll just say that those Goguryeo Xi people are not a good thing, the money has been collected, and people haven't seen it yet!" One of the leaders drew his knife and slashed at it to vent his anger. Another, older said, "I think they're coming, right?" ”
The third person looked impatient: "Come on, come on, how many times have you said it, we didn't see it, and the scouts we sent out couldn't find it?" ”
The elder leader sighed: "Alas, the money has been sent, what can I do now?" ”
"Confused, I said a long time ago, don't ask for help from outsiders......"
"If you don't look for them, how can you win?"
"That little bastard, who popped out of nowhere, will engage in a sneak attack, and I'll be afraid of him head-on?"
"For today's plan, I have to wait for ......"
"What are you waiting for, it's going to come early, it won't come now, it's better to kill it now!"
"Hmm...... It's okay if it's a big victory, but what if the Goguryeo people come when both sides are defeated, and both sides grab it? ”
The coalition forces didn't see any reinforcements here, and they couldn't enter and enter, for fear that the yellow finch would be behind, and the so-called pants were taken off, so you would show me this? They are not willing to retreat...... After struggling for a while, one of the soldiers couldn't help it, and scolded: "You guys are afraid, watch me lead 2,000 people to attack this mud pill city!" After speaking, he led the troops and horses of the headquarters to set up a formation and went to attack the city. The remaining two leaders looked at each other and saw the deep meaning in each other's eyes, that is, "It's better to let that kid explore the way and go to the thunder." The two of them discussed it, and each went back to his own camp, after all, they still belonged to the same country.
said that the one who went out first attracted 2,000 soldiers to attack Interrupt Hongchen, which is the "Mud Pill City" in his words. I don't know if I don't attack, this mud-like city still has three heads and six arms. One mile away from the city, that is, five hundred meters, someone was injured by a hidden weapon. Closer, there are traps and barbs, and the biggest effect of these traps is not to let people fall down and stab to death, but to make the attackers scattered. As soon as the formation dispersed, the shield wall broke, and by the time it came within range of the bow and arrow, it seemed to have lost a layer of armor.
However, although the leader was eager, he was not reckless, and after leaving a dozen lives, he retreated decisively, and did not even enter within a hundred meters of the Red Dust City.
But when he returned to the camp, he again received an invitation from two other leaders to attend the meeting. This is not easy, because they belong to different small countries, and even if they join the army, it is rare to meet several times. This has just been a meeting, why is it coming again? Are you laughing at me with the battle you just had?
Although he was puzzled, he still came to the meeting place. When he passed by the other camps, he found that they were mobilizing troops, and after a little inquiry, he learned that in addition to the 2,000 men in his hand, the remaining 3,000 men were divided into two and rearranged around the Broken Red Dust City in a surrounding manner. He thought about it and was amazed by the move.
Encircling but not fighting, it can not only weaken the enemy's strength, but also will not weaken its own strength too much because of the battle, and prevent the Goryeo and Xi people from being behind. Moreover, the separation of the three armies can reduce the friction between the three small countries, and they can form horns for each other, and they can respond to each other and support each other. He strode forward, thinking that this time it must be the details of the siege that were being discussed.
But as soon as he stepped into the tent where he was meeting, the battle-hardened vigilance told him that there was great danger! Scenes flew through his mind, the scene frozen in the moment before he entered the door. Yes, those guards, those guards are different from before!
But he couldn't figure out that the guards had been replaced, and a sharp dagger was placed around his neck, and a slap knocked him out......
The night is boundless, the river is the world!
When the first leader led his troops into battle, and everyone's attention was drawn to it, Dark River acted. They had been lurking in the barracks long before. At this time, it happened to be the "decapitation operation" that Xu Qing taught them.
Controlling the two leaders, and either threatening them or using their hands, ordering their headquarters to move their troops and horses out of this place, inadvertently made a "siege on three sides". Then, find a way to trick the third leader and capture it!
At the place where the red dust is broken, the soldiers and civilians in the city rejoice at the "victory in the first battle", only the two people of Duan Hongchen and Xu Qi know that this is just the enemy probing the temperature. Of course, at this time, they didn't know that the dark river had already controlled the enemy's mind.
In fact, Duan Hongchen also has more than a dozen members of the Dark River in his hands. In the past battles to destroy two small countries, they also played a lot of roles, such as burning food, spies, and so on, and the only thing they didn't do was beheading.
Chief, there will definitely be elite soldiers around to guard him, almost everyone thinks so. Broken Hongchen thought so, so Dark River was not beheaded. The leader of the coalition army himself also thought that no one would dare to do anything to him, but because of this, those leaders were surrounded by sycophants and cronies, and there were fewer people who could do it with real knives and guns......
After half a day, the divisions stationed there. As soon as the team set up camp, they immediately received an order to attack immediately! There is another sentence in the order: Just attack, there is an internal response in the city.
Duan Hongchen became more and more suspicious, and the original enemy was shocked when he began to besiege the city, because he was preparing to meet the enemy with the attitude of fighting to the death, and these days he only paid attention to the city defense, and he didn't care about food or anything. It was only when the enemy turned the attack into a siege that he remembered to check the reserves, which startled him, and there were less than ten days of grain and grass left. If the rations of the people in the eight cities were robbed, it would only be a month, and Xu Qi would not necessarily agree...... Such a situation made him quite stressed.
But now, in just half a day, the enemy began to attack, and attacked on three sides at the same time. There is a way to besiege the city, could it be that the enemy has placed an ambush on the remaining side? No wonder there is no trace of the Goguryeo people in the dark river, so it is......
Broken Hongchen divided the 3,000 people in the city into three and sent them to guard the city walls in three directions.
At 500 meters, there were hidden weapons to kill and wound, and at 300 meters, the pit disrupted the formation, and when the formation was chaotic, the coalition forces of the three small countries did not hear the sound of gold and drums.
When they entered one hundred and fifty meters, bows and arrows were fired, and the formation was chaotic, and the shield wall was also chaotic, and there was still no gold or drum to adjust the formation. Continue to rush, a hundred meters, arrows rained down, twenty meters, stones and wood, ten meters, the attackers erected stairs to prepare for the siege, and a pot of boiling hot oil and boiling water fell on the city wall. At this time, the three city walls became hell on earth and Shura field, and human life was as cheap as ants.
Sun Tzu said: "Ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and if it is doubled, it will be fought, and the enemy will be able to divide it, and if it is less, it can be defended, and if it is not, it can be avoided." ”
The number of coalition forces is only twice that of Broken Hongchen, which is considered combat effectiveness, but it is evenly matched, and now that the troops are divided, it is a siege again, of course, it can't beat Broken Hongchen.
After attacking for a while, the planned "internal response" did not appear, and the middle-level generals in the coalition army knew about the abnormality, and immediately Mingjin withdrew his troops, and more than 800 coalition troops were killed on the edge of the city, and the casualties in the city were smaller, and there were hundreds of casualties.
Those middle-level generals rushed to the "headquarters" in a rage, wanting to ask for an explanation, but as soon as they entered the middle tent, they found that the three leaders who led the troops were all beheaded.
The leader was stabbed, the dragons were leaderless, and the battle was lost, and the coalition forces were in danger and almost in chaos, relying on a few prestigious mid-level generals to temporarily maintain the situation.
After another big victory, the morale of the city was high, and Broken Red Dust sent all the members of the Dark River to spy on the military, only to get an answer that he couldn't believe. That is, all the leaders of the enemy army died unexpectedly......
At this moment, in the enemy barracks not far outside the city, the shouts of killing shook the sky!
