Chapter 364: Capture the City on a Moonlit Night

Goguryeo New City is one of the most important border cities, built on the opposite side of Liaoshui, a mountaintop, although it is not a high mountain, but just stuck in the traffic to arrive, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can not only defend the Tang Dynasty, but also guard against the northern Yan tribe and so on.

Feng Daiwen chose to attack here, but also to take this opportunity to open the defensive gap of Goguryeo, and occupy the new city, so that the Goguryeo defense line can be divided into two, and the end is not connected, and after the occupation, the cities of Nansu, Mudi, and Cangyan behind Goguryeo will also be exposed, which is also the goal of this expedition, but Feng Daiwen has not yet announced it, and it depends on the specific situation.

On November 18 of the fifth year of Zhenguan, Feng Daiwen led people to brave the wind and snow to cross the frozen Liaoshui and arrive at a mountain in the southwest of the new city.

For this expedition, Liaoxi has long been very well prepared, and in the past two years, all the wool purchased in Liaoxi has not been sold, and all of them have been made into coats.

Every soldier wears a woolen sweater inside, a cotton coat outside, a cotton hat, a woolen scarf, woolen gloves, and a woolen mask on his face.

Even the war horses are wrapped in woolen clothes, (refer to pet dogs).

"Governor, how do you fight this city?" Li Zhen lifted his mask, exhaled a breath of heat, and asked Feng Daiwen.

Feng Daiwen deliberately brought a few young people to observe the new city, just to guide them.

But looking at the new city on the mountain, everyone couldn't think of a good way, and they all stared at Feng Daiwen to see how he answered.

"If it is just a normal attack, you can only use the stupid methods of besieging, storming, or mobilizing a large number of people to dig through the foot of the mountain, and it will not be able to attack for more than half a year." Feng Daiwen glanced at them and explained.

"Digging mountains? How many people do it take to dig it up! Li Zhen's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that Feng Daiwen actually said these methods.

"Digging a mountain is not necessarily to dig up a collapse, the main purpose is to crush the water source, divert all the water in the mountain, and let the wells above have no water, which is also to put pressure on their hearts." Feng Daiwen said with a smile.

Li Zhen didn't expect that digging the mountain actually had a few meanings, so he smiled embarrassedly and didn't speak.

"You said that the governor attacked normally, so there must be abnormal attacks?" Li Dejian asked on the side.

Although these young people are about the same size as Feng Daiwen, they all know that Feng Daiwen is all the achievements made by real skills, and they all admire him very much.

"Of course, Wei Gong and I have also deduced for the new city, if there is time to lay out, it will take more than half a year to get it, but what we lack is time.

Fortunately, this weather gave us a chance, and the Goguryeo people should not have thought that they would attack in winter, and they were not prepared. Feng Daiwen analyzed.

"Even if you don't have much defense, but there are patrol officers, I'm afraid it's hard to get closer, right?" Li Dejian raised his head again and looked at it with a telescope and said.

"Hey, hey! Look at us, the woolen clothes inside are all white, and the same is true for the war horses, just take off the war horses, drape them on their backs, bend over and slowly approach at night, who can find out. Feng Daiwen smiled and said slightly proudly.

All the young generals couldn't help but look down at the woolen sweater, and then at the snow, comparing the two, they understood at once, and couldn't help but admire Feng Daiwen for being able to come up with a way so quickly.

November 19, the second quarter of the month, Feng Daiwen deliberately chose to attack at the time of the child, at this time not only has the moonlight, can faintly see the road, but also the coldest time, I believe that there will be a lot less patrols at this time.

Some of them were left to guard the horses, but it was too cold, and the horses were taken away from their clothes, and a fire had to be lit, otherwise the horses would freeze and be very troublesome.

Fortunately, when I set out on the expedition, I brought a lot of carbon, which can ensure that the army needs it all the way.

Fanatics, rattan armor soldiers, and wrestler legions, dressed in the wool clothes of war horses, cautiously touched towards the top of the mountain in batches, and stopped when there were still five hundred meters.

Then Feng Daiwen's iron guard set out, trotted close to the city wall, looked up and did not find the patrol, and immediately threw a set of ropes with iron claws to the city, and the iron claws firmly grasped it, and then the iron guard carefully climbed up along the rope.

Seeing the iron guards climbing the city wall, Feng Daiwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, which also means that everything is unsurprising, on this cold and biting night, with Goguryeo's thin clothes, the guards must all hide on the side to bake the fire, and in the cold night to bake the fire, people are the easiest to fall asleep.

After the iron guard went up, he hung up the soft ladder again, and Feng Daiwen commanded the others to approach and climb up the ladder.

At this time, dozens of iron guards were already at the city gate, removing the top pole and preparing to attack to ensure that they could quickly push open the city gate at any time.

Things went unexpectedly well, until thousands of people entered the city, and the other warriors were also lined up behind him, Feng Daiwen waited impatiently to climb the wall and give the order to open the city gate.

"Crunch!" A long voice rang out, and it was heard far away in the night.

However, the guards near the city gate have already been killed in their sleep, and the guards hiding in the hiding cave may have heard the sound, but there are guards outside, no one greets them, and they continue to sleep, after all, it is so cold that no one wants to get up if they have nothing to do.

Feng Daiwen was very surprised, he was ready to start fighting, but who knew that no one would find out, it was like a punch on cotton, and it was uncomfortable.

In this case, Feng Daiwen was not polite, and ordered the soldiers to rush in, just like returning to his own camp, and ordered the 20,000 infantry behind him to continue to follow.

Entering the city, Feng Daiwen ordered Chen Xiong and Chen Hu to take 5,000 vine armor troops along the city wall to capture the two city gates on the left and right, Feng Daihuo led the 5,000 Lux Corps to attack the city guard, Li Dejian, Li Zhen, Li Tian, and Fang Yiai respectively led 5,000 people to attack and guard the camp.

The rest of the army was also under the command of Feng Daiwen, and the whole city was cleared in units of 1,000 people.

This arrangement is also due to the special structure of the new city, which is almost a triangular military city, with two gates facing the two sides of the mountain, and a gate behind it leading to their own country.

"Kill!"

"Ahh

As the shouts of killing sounded, the screams also kept coming, and the unsuspecting Goguryeo people were stunned by the sudden appearance of the Tang soldiers, and woke up in a deep sleep, not expecting to face death.

Under the light of the fire, the mask covering his head and only his eyes were out, which made the Goguryeo people who had not yet woken up almost frightened.
