The general of the Goguryeo side is named Susa Yanshou, like Eulji Wendeok, he is a famous Goguryeo general who has experienced a hundred battles, and he is a general who is extremely trusted by Yuangai Suwen.

Not long ago, when the Khitans contacted Goguryeo to send troops, Goguryeo had different opinions, because they had already sent people to prepare money to go to the Tang Dynasty to ransom people, after all, Goguryeo had money, and ransom people could save their lives, so it was safer.

Sending troops to take risks, let's not talk about whether it can succeed, in case of successfully taking hostages, Datang will not admit it, and it will be over if the ticket is torn up and the war will be over.

However, even if he owns the military, it is difficult to support it alone, after all, the power of money and wealth belongs to the Chinese ministers of the DPRK, and in the absence of the big pair of Lu, the chancellor of the exchequer needs to calculate the gains and losses.

In addition, not long after Yuangai Suwen seized power, his power was not stable, and many of the people in the court were still biased towards the lord Gao Jianwen, and with the encouragement of the Khitan and the Jin Ya envoys, seventy percent of the officials in Goguryeo supported the war.

And many of the generals are worried about the loss of five cities two years ago, and they have long wanted to take revenge, but the Tang Dynasty and the Khitan joined forces, and Goguryeo did not dare to attack, but now it is okay, God-given opportunity, the Tang Dynasty dug its own grave, abandoned its allies, and the Khitan switched to Goguryeo, so this surprise attack to recover the five cities is not a problem.

Therefore, after the discussion, the Goguryeo people urgently recalled the ransom envoys who had been sent out for three days, and waited for an opportunity to attack the northeastern garrison of the Tang Dynasty.

So, there was this sneak attack on Beisha City.

Hold on for eight days, the soldiers sacrificed eighty percent, once the reinforcements arrived, that is, when revenge, Niu Jinda and the defenders of the city head came to the city head with red eyes, and rushed out with the troops.

The north gate was wide open, and without waiting for the Goguryeo people outside to rush in, the Tang defenders in the city quickly rushed out of 3,000, led by Niu Xiuniu Jinda, shouting and joining with the reinforcements outside, and attacking the Goguryeo people who were besieging the city.

Goguryeo Yansa Yanshou looked, okay, the Tang Dynasty came with 50,000 reinforcements, and there were less than 30,000 troops on his side, so he couldn't fight hard, and the flag was ordered, and the golden gong sounded rapidly, and the troops attacking the north and south of Goguryeo quickly retreated to the east like a tide.

Niu Jinda turned around and pursued, and Cheng Yanjin also led the cavalry to chase after him all the way, and chased straight out of ten miles before he gave up, and the two parties joined forces to return to the city.

"Old Niu, how about the loss? Goguryeo on the day of the dog, sooner or later Lao Tzu will take his brothers to destroy them. Cheng Yanjin asked with concern.

Niu Jinda, who returned to the City Lord's Mansion, sat on the ground and said sadly: "Hey! Lao Cheng, if you come one day late, my brother will be finished, this time the thief came suddenly, we couldn't take precautions, and broke seven people's hands, and the remaining thirty percent were also injured. ”

Cheng Yanjin comforted: "Okay, don't cry, the brothers didn't die in vain, I think the Goguryeo people lost more, my Tang Erlang is not a bad seed." ”

"That is, if they don't leave 30,000 corpses under the city, then my old cow will live in vain."

"Don't brag nonsense, are you still proud of the battle for defending the city? Replaced my old Cheng, at least one for three.

Fortunately, we have kept Beisha City, and it is Mao Gong's strategy to connect the five cities of Datang, at this time, it seems that it is really unbreakable, 20,000 garrisons in each city, who has ever heard of such a force? This is all about using the five cities as the main city of the state road for defense.

Little Goguryeo out of 80,000 people want to break this big net? Then someone must first defeat Mao Gong. Cheng Yanjin said proudly.

Seeing Vice General Hu who came back with Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda felt a little relieved, arranged for someone to deal with post-war matters, and took a few deputy generals and Cheng Yanjin's arrivals to start making a post-war summary.

"Lao Cheng, this time the enemy came suddenly, no, it should be strange, it stands to reason that it is a cold winter just after the New Year's Festival, it is impossible to start a big war, there is ice and snow everywhere, if it were not for the fire kang and cotton clothes of the Tang Dynasty, our defenders would not be able to adapt here.

Although he Goguryeo was born here, he rarely fought in winter, so this matter is a bit strange. Niu Jinda has some ideas in his heart, and he wants to summarize and analyze them with everyone at this time.

When Cheng Yanjin heard this, he also began to frown, "It's really inexplicable, an army of 80,000 people, how many troops does Goguryeo have?" This time it was a bloody investment, if it was just to recapture the city, it should not be chosen at this time, and it would not be good for them to start a war in winter.

So, there's something going on. ”

At this time, Cheng Biting Jin's lieutenant Wang Dadu spoke: "Could it be related to the events of the past few days?" Not long ago, the Tang Dynasty came to pass the letter to Goguryeo, and the Goguryeo envoys were caught in prison by His Majesty in anger, and sent a letter to Goguryeo to bring money to ransom people, could it be that they didn't want to ransom people and oppressed us with troops? ”

"Well, that makes sense, hum, the stick has such a big appetite, 80,000 people are like fighting against my 100,000 people? It's too underestimate us, it seems that when Lao Tzu hunts in the future, he needs to increase his efforts, but it is not enough to rob the property and the population, find time for Lao Tzu to hunt a city over, let them see what military power is. Cheng Yanjin sneered disdainfully.

That's right, Cheng Biting Jin's daily hunting is not the hunting, the object is the people of Goguryeo, not wild beasts, it can be said that the Tang Dynasty, the general, is the highest status in the world A road robber, this is his old job, he has been working in the Northeast for two years, Cheng Biting Jin can be said to have a good time.

After repairing in the city for a day, leaving 10,000 people to Niu Jinda to continue to hold on, Cheng Yanjin had to lead his troops back, after all, the armies of several other cities could not leave for a long time.

But before he could lead the people out of the city, Beisha City was surrounded again, and this time it was not just an army of 50,000, but a full army of 80,000.

Cheng Biting Jin and Niu Jinda were stunned, and they felt that something was wrong in their hearts, as if they had been tricked.

Niu Jinda flashed in a flash of inspiration and exclaimed: "Lao Cheng, I'm afraid we have been tricked, 80,000 people will surround you and me, and there will be no reinforcements around, and the two of us will be caught as bargaining chips for ransom." ”

"It's not, I didn't expect Lao Tzu to be wise and careless, it's really unlucky."

The adjutant generals around covered their faces one after another, and the general was really out of tune, when was it, he was still bragging here.

None of them were worried that the city would be destroyed, because there were 60,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and only 80,000 outside, and the siege could not be taken.

However, they did not expect that the soldiers and horses of Goguryeo below besieged and did not intend to attack, but were waiting for the opportunity to wait for the arrival of siege reinforcements.

And Goguryeo's reinforcements, can only be the Khitan and the Yan two teams of people, although these two groups of people are poor countries, but there is never a shortage of people to go out to fight, for this war, the Khitan has made a bloody investment, sent 80,000 troops, and the Yan Ya also sent 50,000 troops, these are not known to the Tang Dynasty, and these two countries are sent from north to south, at this time there is no main general in Liaodong City, only 5,000 defenders, it is conceivable, I am afraid that it will be a big loss.
