Chapter 570: Catching a Turtle in an Urn

"Three thousand, how to catch them?" Li Daozong stared at Xuan Shijing and asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It depends on whether the prince wants to take this risk, now the five thousand vanguard troops in Beisha City, after a few days, although the layout of Beisha City has not changed much, but at the city gate alone, whether it is outside or inside, they have already pooped, even if the soldiers in Anshi City are familiar with Beisha City before, and when they enter the city gate, they are afraid that they will not be able to recognize the pattern of Beisha City for a while." Xuan Shijing said.

After the 5,000 vanguard army entered the city, the pattern in the city naturally changed, there was no need for too much, at least the camp of 5,000 people must be placed, for this reason, close to the city gate, demolished a lot of houses, the original Goguryeo garrison soldiers camp was also cleaned up by the Tang army.

"You mean to put these 3,000 people in?" Li Daozong asked.

"Exactly." Xuan Shijing nodded: "The 3,000 people of Goguryeo came to attack Beisha City, and it was indeed difficult to shake the city defended by our 5,000 elites, but once it could not be attacked, on the side of Anshi City, Yang Wanchun would definitely send a large army to attack Beisha City, and then the prince would be somewhat sure that he would be able to defend Beisha City?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Less than fifty percent." Li Daozong's answer was very true: "Now Liu Hongji's sailors are fighting with Goguryeo at sea, not only the sailors on the Beisha side of Beisha City are unable to move because of him, but Pyongyang City has also sent a naval army to encircle and suppress Liu Hongji's sailors, and we have no help on the Beisha side for the time being." ”

Saying that, Li Daozong paused, and said with a speech: "If there is really no help, then it may not be, the northern Khitan and the Ya, as early as before, His Majesty had ordered them to send troops to disturb Goguryeo, with them, Liaodong, our pressure will be lighter, but after all, it is a foreigner, and we can't trust it all, and in the south of Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and Baekje have come to make friends with Goguryeo, and now Quangai Suwen has frequent contact with Baekje, and Silla will definitely be attached to the Tang Dynasty, but for us, Silla, It's still far away, not enough to rely on. ”

In a few words, Li Daozong clearly analyzed the forces in Liaodong and the surrounding areas.

"In the battle of Liaodong, Beisha City is the most important thing, and it must not be lost, once our vanguard army loses Beisha City, it will be difficult to recapture it." Xuan Shijing said.

Even Xuan Shijing can tell the importance of Beisha City, could it be that Chengquan Gai Suwen and Yang Wanchun don't know?

The Tang Dynasty occupied Beisha City, which was equivalent to inserting a knife in Goguryeo's chest, and if the army did not pull out the knife before coming, the damage to Goguryeo would be fatal, and once the knife was pulled out, Datang would have to stab the knife into it, but it would be difficult.

"That's right, personnel, food and grass." Li Daozong sighed with emotion: "It's okay to say that the grain and grass are good, and the sailor will solve our logistics supply anyway, but it will be difficult to make up for the loss of personnel." Li Daozong said: "Now it seems that our vanguard army has lost the mobility it should have, and is trapped in this Beisha City. ”

"Not necessarily, my lord, when I was in the Ganlu Palace, I talked to Your Majesty about this battle in Liaodong, the importance of Beisha City is self-evident, the vanguard army was originally to open the way for the army, the vanguard army can have a second team, but Beisha City, there is only one." Xuan Shijing said: "If we follow the route of the vanguard army, when we want to take Beisha City, it will not be as simple as it is now. Xuan Shijing said with a smile.

Li Daozong understands the truth, but 5,000 people guard Beisha City, which makes Li Daozong feel a little aggrieved for the vanguard army.

However, Li Daozong is also a veteran on the battlefield, what to do, he knows it in his heart, but those risky ideas of young people, Li Daozong is still more cautious.

"So, tell me what you think." Li Daozong said.

"Simple, just like before, the guards at the head of the city will be replaced by someone who is proficient in the Goguryeo language, negotiate with the commander of the 3,000 Goguryeo soldiers, welcome them to come to Beisha City to help defend the city, and wait until the 3,000 people enter the city, close the city gate, and attack them head-on." Xuan Shijing said: "Didn't the general next to him say it before. As he spoke, Xuan Shijing looked at the other deputy general: "The former Sui soldiers in the city have been left in Beisha City for a long time, although they are old, they were also the elite of Guanzhong back then. ”

Xuan Shijing said that the old man is according to the age of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, those soldiers left in Beisha City by the former Sui, more than 20 years have passed, the oldest is also forty-five or sixteen years old, years of hard work, these people's bodies are still strong, it is not good to fight with the enemy on the battle array, but it is always possible to stand on the city wall and put cold arrows.

Li Daozong nodded: "That's right, recruiting those people is also a combat force, although it is not stronger than the vanguard army, but these people's hatred for the Goguryeo people completely makes up for the shortcomings of the old Fangnian." ”

Whoever has been used as a coolie for more than 20 years in vain, the anger in his heart will not be small, and now that he has the opportunity to take revenge, where can the enthusiasm of these people be missing.

"It is not possible for these people to go to the battlefield, but they can be arranged at the head of the city, and the bows and arrows of the vanguard army will be evenly distributed to them, and before the vanguard army rushes out, the first formation will be fought by these people on the city wall." Xuan Shijing said: "Draw the bow and release the arrows, these people will not check much more than the vanguard army." ”

"Feasible!" Just hearing this, Li Daozong decided to do what Xuan Shijing said, although there is a risk, but it is definitely much more affordable than simply defending the city, close the door and fight the dogs, as soon as the city gate is closed, none of these 3,000 people can run out, let alone send a letter to Anshi City.

Xuan Shijing had such an idea, and continued to conceal the side of Anshi City, and continued to send people to confuse Yang Wanchun, just like intercepting and killing the team transporting grain and grass.

If you don't do this, waiting for 3,000 people outside the city to attack the city, and the vanguard army will attack again, it is inevitable that someone will take advantage of the chaos to run back to Anshi City to report to Yang Wanchun, let everyone in, close the door and fight the dogs, which is much more stable, not only giving the archers on the city wall a chance to show, but also the vanguard army can also rely on the terrain to fight with these 3,000 people and reduce losses.

Now there are not many real Goguryeo people in Beisha City, and they have all been sent by Li Daozong to dig trenches outside the city, but there is no need to worry about this matter, the current Beisha City has temporarily become the "military city" of the Tang Dynasty.

"Time is running out, lord, we have to hurry up and arrange." Xuan Shijing reminded.
