Chapter 437: A Brilliant Judgment
()
Gao Ming made a fuss, but fortunately, although the cannon on the ship was loud, it didn't hurt anyone.
After all, the siege artillery was originally used to bombard the door, not to bombard people, and at this time, the black light was blinding, and the warships were rocking around at sea, and it was estimated that the shells were all hit into the sea.
After rejoicing, Zhang Liang wiped the cold sweat that was scared out of his head.
"Fortunately, I didn't order the arrows to be released, otherwise if I accidentally injured His Royal Highness the Prince, my whole family would not be enough for His Majesty to cut it!"
Thinking of this, he immediately yelled at the soldier next to him.
"Why are you still stunned? Didn't you see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going ashore? Why don't you go and have people light up the ferry with more torches and light up the ferry, go quickly! ”
"Yes!"
Under Zhang Liang's order, it didn't take long for thousands of torches to be lit around, almost using up all the torches he brought this time.
However, at this time, he didn't have the heart to think about these problems, and the moment the warship docked, he hurriedly boarded the ship.
After getting on the warship, Zhang Liang didn't see Gao Ming, but saw Hou Junji standing aside, and he immediately frowned.
"Hou Dudu, where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Hou Junji already had an opinion on Zhang Liang, but now he saw him ignoring himself so much, so he immediately snorted, and then turned around.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Zhang Liang's mouth twitched twice, and he no longer paid attention to Hou Junji, and looked around on the warship.
When he saw the tank on the deck of the warship, his face was immediately happy, and he hurriedly came to the side of the tank and bowed.
"Weichen Zhang Liang, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"Hmm!"
As soon as Zhang Liang's words fell, he only heard a "bang", and the iron door on the right side of the tank opened, and Gao Ming, dressed in armor, walked out of it.
After coming out, Gao Ming smiled at Zhang Liang.
"Hearing the Goguryeo language on the other side, I thought General Zhang's entire army was wiped out, haha!"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Zhang Liang hurriedly knelt down on one knee.
"Weichen is incompetent, he has besieged Beisha City for more than half a month, but he has not achieved an inch, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will punish him!"
Seeing Zhang Liang put on a posture of pleading, Gao Ming immediately swung towards him.
"Okay, although it's my first time on the battlefield, it doesn't mean that I don't understand anything, there are more than 10,000 people defending the city in Beisha City, it is indeed difficult for you to capture it, it is already very good that you can block the ferry, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince!"
Seeing that Gao Ming was so reasonable, Zhang Liang also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then stood up.
At this time, Zhang Liang had already seen everything on the warship, and found that there were only a few dozen people on the ship, and such a small number of people couldn't even be called reinforcements, so he felt very strange.
"I wonder why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here?"
Gao Ming also understood Zhang Liang's thoughts, and he immediately laughed.
"Haha, I'm actually planning to take Beisha City, but this is a long story, I'll talk to you slowly after I get the tank down."
Speaking of this, Gao Ming raised his chin towards Zhang Sizheng.
"Ah Zheng, let people build a temporary bridge!"
"Yes!"
Under Gao Ming's order, Zhang Sizheng immediately sent people to start building a temporary bridge, but because the ferry port was a little dilapidated, it took a lot more time than before.
When the tank hit the ground, a smile appeared on Gao Ming's face.
"Huzi, you lead people to get down the twenty siege cannons on the ship, Ah Zheng, you and Aki continue to guard the warship."
After instructing the two of them, Gao Ming turned his gaze to Zhang Liang and Hou Junji.
"Okay, let's go, Duke Lu Guo and Duke Xun Guo, you come with me on the tank, and we will discuss the battle plan!"
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Hou Junji immediately boarded the tank, and after Zhang Liang ordered him to lead the way in front, he also followed Hou Junji to the tank.
After the two of them came up, the tank started slowly again.
Gao Ming asked people to close the door of the tank, and at the same time opened his mouth to Zhang Liang.
"Xun Guogong will talk about the situation in Beisha City first!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Liang agreed, and then began to tell Gao Ming about the situation in Beisha City.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, more than a month ago, Goguryeo's great rival Lu Quan Gaisu led troops to invade the border, and the Duke of Eguo fought with him with 120,000 soldiers and horses in Pingzhou City, while I led 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack Beisha City."
Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Gao Ming immediately nodded.
"This tactic is right, now the Goguryeo people's soldiers and horses are mainly concentrated in the two important cities of Liaodong City and Jian'an, Beisha City must be empty, attacking Beisha City is indeed a very good choice, even if it can't be defeated, it can contain the troops of Jian'an City."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise!"
Seeing Gao Ming's words reveal his intentions, a smile suddenly flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes, and he hurriedly arched towards Gao Ming.
"That's what Weichen planned, so in the past half a month, Weichen has only besieged and not attacked, and as a result, Jian'an has sent about 20,000 soldiers and horses to help Beisha City, but after I repulsed, I didn't come again."
"Didn't come again?"
Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Gao Ming immediately frowned.
"Jian'an belongs to a heavy city, and it's not surprising that there are 100,000 soldiers, but why didn't you come after only a few defeats? And only 20,000 people were sent, isn't that right? ”
As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Hou Junji nodded.
"The last general also thinks so, His Royal Highness the Prince, the last general thinks that there are only two reasons why such a situation will occur!"
Speaking of this, Hou Junji stretched out two fingers.
"First, the city of Beisha had plenty of food and grass, and the Goguryeo people thought that the city was stable, so they did not send troops; Second, the troops of Jian'an City have been sent elsewhere, and there is no time to divide troops to help! ”
Hou Junji is worthy of being a veteran who has led troops for decades, and he naturally has his uniqueness in analyzing the battle situation, and after hearing his analysis, Gao Ming couldn't help but nodded.
"Lu Guogong is right, and as far as I know, Quan Gaisu is cautious by nature, if he is really very comfortable with Beisha City, he will not let people come to help in the first place, so I think the second possibility is more likely...... Ah, I see! ”
Speaking of this, Gao Ming suddenly slapped his face, and then stood up.
"Quan Gaisu knows that we are attacking Beisha City, and he also knows that we will not be able to attack it for a while and a half, so he has transferred a large number of soldiers and horses from Jian'an City, so I estimate that the troops in Jian'an City should not be much more than Beisha City now!"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Hou Junji and Zhang Liang immediately understood what he meant, and a trace of consternation suddenly appeared on their faces.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what do you mean ......"
Seeing that the two of them looked a little shocked, Gao Ming suddenly grinned, revealing two rows of Bai Sensen's teeth.
"Quan Gaisu dares to play empty city with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will let him know what is called IQ crushing, since you want to play, you might as well play big, give up Beisha City, let's go directly to Jian'an City!"
"Hiss......"
