Chapter 583: A Thousand People Defend the City
"Yes, now the army has split up, Your Majesty personally led the army to attack Liaodong City, Li Jibing sent Tongding, if Tongding is taken, the next is Xincheng, let's bypass Qianyu, take Gai Mu, Xuansu, and Li Ji's army to take Baiyan, and then, it is to meet with Your Majesty in Liaodong City. "Li Daozong said: "Zhang Jian led the army to Anshi, even if he didn't fight, he had to beware of whether Anshi City would send troops to support Liaodong City and block His Majesty."www.biquge.info ”
"What a big game of chess." Xuan Shijing said with emotion: "Here in Liaodong, as soon as our army of the Tang Dynasty comes, it will turn the world upside down. ”
"Yes, that's what His Majesty wants." Li Daozong said: "Xuanhou, this time, this king plans to take four thousand people to Gaimu and Beisha City, and he will hand it over to Xuanhou." ”
Li Daozong wants to attack Gaimu City, and the manpower he brings must not be too small, four thousand, this is the limit that the vanguard army can use, leaving a thousand people to defend the city for Xuan Shijing, which is also well thought out, today's Liaodong battlefield is not as good as before, and Beisha City is not alone here, not to mention that Jian'an City has been controlled by Liu Hongji and Zhang Liang's sailors, that is, on the side of Anshi City, Zhang Jian also took people nearby to prevent accidents, so the pressure on Beisha City's side was suddenly much less.
"The prince can go with confidence." Hyun Shijing responded with a smile.
Xuan Shijing didn't care that he couldn't play in this big battle, among the vanguard army, Xuan Shijing and the three hundred soldiers were dazzling enough.
After taking Beisha City, two deceived grain and grass, and 300 people stole Jian'an City, such a feat, and when they returned to Chang'an, they couldn't run away with the first merit.
This is also a benefit of the Vanguard Army.
Now Xuan Shijing doesn't do anything even if he just defends Beisha City, and watches the whole battle is over, and others can't find any thorns.
At noon, Li Daozong ordered 4,000 vanguard troops and left Beisha City under the banner openly, and Li Daozong left, Yang Wanchun of Anshi City finally learned from the mouth of the scout that Beisha City had already become the bag of those Tang troops.
"Bastard!" Yang Wanchun, who wanted to be calm, lost his temper in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, and everything that could be dropped in his sight was smashed by him, even if it was the Tang porcelain that he once loved very much, now look at the fragments lying on the ground, how ironic.
"The general is angry, now that the army of the Tang Dynasty has split up and gone to various cities in Liaodong, what are we going to do." The deputy general stood at the bottom, ignoring the fragments at his feet, and said to Yang Wanchun.
Yang Wanchun, as a general, didn't know what was the most important thing at the moment, forced himself to calm down, and said to the deputy general: "It's not that Quangai Suwen who caused all this, send someone to send a letter to Quangai Suwen to see what he wants to do, as for our Anshi City, there is no need to react much for the time being, those cities have not been taken by the Tang Army as simply as you imagined." ”
"Yes, General." The adjutant general replied, and then asked cautiously: "...... over there in Beisha City?"
"Beisha City!" At the mention of the three words Beisha City, Yang Wanchun clenched his fists tightly: "As soon as the 4,000 troops of Beisha City leave, there will definitely not be many guards left in the city, with 10,000 troops, immediately set off to Beisha City, attack Beisha City, you personally go to supervise the battle!" ”
"Yes, General." The adjutant general responded, then turned around and left the city lord's mansion and went to order troops.
Anshi City originally hoarded 100,000 troops, when Quangai Suwen attacked Anshi City, they were all blocked back by Yang Wanchun, it can be seen that there are many sick people in Anshi City, and the city wall is hard, and now 10,000 troops have left Anshi City, which has no impact on the defense of Anshi City at all, so Yang Wanchun is also relieved.
As for Beisha City, it must be the vanguard army of the Tang Army, the number of vanguard troops is not much, and now that so many people have left, 10,000 people to attack Beisha City must be very appropriate.
From Anshi City to Beisha City, the army marched, a two-day journey, how could the scouts on this side of Beisha City not hear the news of the army.
"Yang Wanchun finally knew that he had been deceived for so long, it was not easy." In the palace, Xuan Shijing sat on the main seat and said to Chang Le.
"According to what the Hou Ye said, this Yang Wanchun is really pitiful, don't mock people anymore, 10,000 troops are about to come to the city, and if we count those veterans in Beisha City, it's only a thousand or three, how can we fight?" Chang Le said helplessly.
"Siege the city, ten times and overcome, if you want to attack the city, the besieging side must have ten times the strength of the defending side to capture the city, 10,000 troops, what are you panicking, there are still 3,000 left." Hyun Shijing smiled.
"My lord, when is it, don't be kidding." For Xuan Shijing's leisurely self-satisfaction, Chang Le didn't know what to say.
"Don't panic, isn't it just 10,000 people, have you forgotten the vast deep ditch in front of the gate of our Beisha City?" Xuan Shijing smiled: "Chang Le, let Fang Shu take two hundred soldiers to the beach, and when the signal from our place sounds, dig the embankment immediately." ”
"Yes, Master Hou." Chang Le responded.
After so many days, Chang Le really forgot about this one, when he dug the trenches in front of the city gate so wide and deep, didn't he think it would come in handy at that time...... The trench, but dug directly under the city wall, wanted to come and attack Beisha City, except for the suspension bridge at the main gate, the rest could only carry the extended version of the ladder and climb up from the ditch.
And if you want to take the suspension bridge at the main entrance, is it possible?
Nowadays, the four gates of Beisha City, except for the north gate, the remaining three gates have long been bricked to death, and the north gate has become the only exit.
Fang Shu went out of the city with two hundred men, headed towards the sea, and rode away on horseback, and soon after, the deputy general of Anshi City with 10,000 Goguryeo soldiers had already arrived at the city of Beisha City.
The wide ravine they had seen earlier had made Beisha City feel safe, but now it had become an insurmountable obstacle for them to attack Beisha City.
I'm afraid that at that time, Beisha City had already been occupied by this group of Tang troops.
The lieutenant general who led the troops looked at the towering city walls and deep trenches, and felt a sense of weakness in his heart, but fortunately, the ladder brought from Anshi City was enough.
"General, are we going to attack the city directly or set up camp first?" The lieutenant next to the adjutant general asked, seeing the current appearance of Beisha City, anyone will know in their hearts that this is a very difficult bone to gnaw.
"After two days of marching, the soldiers were already tired, so they retreated ten miles and set up camp, so that the soldiers could go to cut wood and make some catapults." The adjutant commanded.
"Yes." The lieutenant answered, and then ran down to deliver the order.
"O ....... of Beisha City"
