Chapter 18: A Shocking Deception!
Towards evening, the camp was finally built with the efforts of more than a thousand soldiers, and the whole camp was in a long snake formation, in the middle of two mountains, and it was almost impossible to see the other from one end.
Zhao Chen took out all the tents in the space-time backpack, and felt that it was not enough, so he bought a lot more from the supermarket, a thousand tents, which looked extremely spectacular on this slightly narrow mountain road.
The construction of the camp is completely in accordance with the regular camp layout, divided into three battalions, the front, the middle and the rear, and located in the middle of the army, stands a huge camp tent, and above the camp tent, is erected a handsome flag with the character of Li.
When the evening sunset gradually set from the top of the mountain, and when night quietly came, dozens of torches suddenly lit up in the entire camp!
So, in the light of the fire, when I looked at it, I saw that in the camp, at this time, a group of soldiers with spears in their hands were patrolling the camp back and forth.
In addition to these patrolling soldiers, there are also many soldiers with only their heads exposed, who will appear from time to time, in front and back of the various camps, and at a cursory glance, it is really as if tens of thousands of troops are stationed here.
As early as when the camp was built, Zhao Chen ordered Xue Rengui to deliberately let a scout from Goguryeo in, but he would never allow this scout to get too close to the camp.
On this day, Goguryeo's scouts were almost never broken, but most of these scouts had been sent to the west by Xue Rengui and others.
"Will you fool the scouts?" At this time, when Xue Rengui deliberately let a scout in, there was an unintentional old eunuch dressed as a military commander, deliberately wearing black iron armor, wandering around outside the tent of the Chinese military camp.
At this time, the heartless old eunuch was dressed in black iron armor, with a scarlet cloak on his back, and more importantly, Zhao Chen also deliberately put a beard on the heartless old eunuch.
Not to mention, after this deliberate dress-up, the unintentional old eunuch, who always seemed a little yin, unconsciously added a sense of masculinity.
If Zhao Chen hadn't learned in advance, he would probably really treat the unintentional old eunuch as the commander of the first army!
It can be seen that the heartless old eunuch is extremely satisfied with such a dress, and it was a little awkward and unnatural at first, but only after a while, he completely entered the role.
With a scheming commander in charge, the camp is magnificent, with a capacity of tens of thousands of people, plus the soldiers of the new military camp, who take turns patrolling the camp.
Under such a false appearance, if he can't deceive the Goguryeo people, Zhao Chen can only be helpless!
Of course, this is only the first step, and tomorrow morning he will personally lead people to the city of Anshi, which is the key to really being able to deceive the Goguryeo people.
This time, in order to gain enough time for Cheng Chumo and others, Zhao Chen can be said to have racked his brains and used all the methods that he should think of.
"Pass the order, everyone hurry up and rest, and go to attack the city early tomorrow morning!" Just now Xue Rengui came with the news that the Goguryeo scout who had been put in had been frightened away by him, and he must have returned to Anshi City at this time.
So, Zhao Chen immediately ordered everyone to rest.
And just when Zhao Chen ordered everyone to rest, in the city lord's mansion of Anshi City, Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi City at this time, was sitting in the front hall of the city lord's mansion in military uniform.
In front of him, the scout who had just returned from outside the city, panting towards Yang Wanchun, was replying to the situation of the Tang military camp he had just seen.
In the front hall at this time, not only Yang Wanchun was alone, but also the Yuan boys who escaped from the hands of the Flying Tiger Army by luck, as well as all the generals under Yang Wanchun.
One by one, their faces were condensed, listening to the scouts in front of them, and when they talked about the magnificence of the Tang military camp, their eyes showed shocked looks.
"Let me ask you, what did you see with your own eyes?" When the scout finally finished speaking, Yang Wanchun, who was behind a short table, suddenly frowned slightly, stared at the scout's eyes, and asked in a calm tone.
"My lord, the subordinates are true, if there is half a lie, the subordinates are willing to lead the army to engage in it!" The scout in front of him was covered with scars all over his body, especially one of his left legs, which was cut by a sharp stone, and when he spoke, the wound was still oozing blood.
"It's not that Ben won't believe you!" Yang Wanchun heard the scout's words and swore an oath, sat there and closed his eyes slightly, took a light breath, and said melancholy: "This is a military matter, so I can't treat it cautiously!" ”
When these words fell, Yang Wanchun immediately waved his hand at the scout, signaling the scout to go down and heal!
"Unexpectedly, the Datang people still called after all!" waited until the scout in front of him limped away, and the Yuan boy, who was sitting next to Yang Wanchun and had been silent, only then did he open his mouth and sigh.
"The Tang people are treacherous!" The scout's words made the hearts of all the Goguryeo generals in the front hall seem to be overshadowed, and when they heard the words of the Yuan boys, a Goguryeo general sitting below couldn't help but speak.
"The soldiers are coming, and the water is coming to cover the earth!" Hearing the general's complaint, Yang Wanchun couldn't help but pout, but he didn't comment after all, but looked at everyone and said: "The Tang people are here, so what, is it really a paper paste in Anshi City?" ”
"That's right!" Yang Wanchun's words fell, and then a Goguryeo general echoed loudly and said: "What can the Tang people do when they come, let's call the Tang people to see, Anshi City is not a soft persimmon!" ”
In the front hall just now, there was a somewhat depressing atmosphere, but at this time, because of Yang Wanchun's words with this general, suddenly, his enthusiasm became high.
"Find a way to send scouts out again!" When all the generals in the front hall had already left, Yang Wanchun found the guards with a solemn face, and ordered with a slight frown: "Inform Liaodong City of the situation here as soon as possible!" ”
Just now in the front hall, Yang Wanchun had to pretend to come out in order to encourage morale!
But in fact, from the moment he heard the news of Yuan Boy, Yang Wanchun's chest was like a boulder pressed against him, and he felt a little out of breath.
The Tang Dynasty is not the Great Sui, even the Mobei Turks, who were once tyrannical, completely collapsed under the iron hooves of the Tang Dynasty, and the eagles that were once on the grassland were also hanged alive in front of the tribes by the Tang Dynasty.
This kind of Datang always makes people feel like a sword out of boots, shining with cold light, full of a killing aura, which makes people always feel like a man on their backs.
Especially, at such a time, the Tang people would appear outside Anshi without warning, and the pressure caused to him was simply not ordinary!
In the early morning, before the sun rose, a touch of fish belly white was revealed in the distant skyline, and the sight was still gray, and all the buildings were still a gray outline.
Yang Wanchun, who had not slept all night, had just been in the front hall, closed his eyes and squinted for a while, and then he was awakened by a rush of footsteps.
Frowning slightly, when he opened his eyes, he saw a guard rushing into the front hall quickly, with a strange expression on his face, as soon as he walked into the front hall, he replied to Yang Wanchun: "My lord, the army of the Tang Dynasty has arrived outside the city!" ”
“… Coming so soon? Just seeing the footsteps of the Qin Wei hurriedly entering, Yang Wanchun had already expected something, however, hearing the words of the Qin Wei with his own ears, Yang Wanchun couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, looked at the Qin Wei and said.
"It's just..."The guards looked at Yang Wanchun with strange eyes, hesitated slightly, and said: "It's a little strange that there are only more than a thousand people in the Tang Dynasty who came to the city to call for battle!" ”
"More than a thousand?" Yang Wanchun, who was shocked just now, at this time, when he heard Qinwei's words, he suddenly opened his eyes, with an expression of misheard, and looked at Qinwei and said in surprise: "How is it possible, the Tang people are crazy?" ”
As soon as these words fell, Yang Wanchun immediately stopped hesitating, immediately stood up, grabbed the saber on the desk casually, and rushed towards the east gate with the two guards.
Just as Yang Wanchun's personal guards replied, outside the city of Anshi at this time, Zhao Chen took the soldiers of the new military camp and stood an arrow away from the city.
Moreover, to be exact, he only brought fifteen hundred men, and the remaining three hundred soldiers were arranged by him at this time, on the right and left mountains, quietly waiting for his orders.
In front of them was the fortress of war, and in the face of such a fortified city, they had only 1,500 soldiers, no matter how you looked at it, it looked a little strange.
"It's coming!" At this time, the heartless old eunuch was still dressed as last night, with a gray beard hanging down on his chest, wearing black iron armor and a scarlet cloak, floating slightly against the morning breeze, and looking majestic on a war horse captured from the water village.
Originally, he was staring at the head of the city, but at this time, when he saw the Goguryeo people above, there was a slight commotion, and he knew that it was the city lord of Anshi City who had arrived, so he said to Zhao Chen behind him without looking back.
"Let's shoot!" They were waiting for the city lord of Anshi City, and when they saw that the main master finally appeared, what was there to hesitate, and then, Zhao Chen rushed behind him without looking back, raised his hand slightly, and pressed it suddenly.
At this time, the city and the city were unusually quiet, and everyone was waiting for Yang Wanchun to appear.
Until this moment, Yang Wanchun finally appeared, a Goguryeo general, still whispering something to Yang Wanchun, however, at this moment, everyone heard a loud 'boom', and suddenly came from the left halfway up the mountain.
This voice came suddenly, like thunder, and the moment the loud noise came, all the Goguryeo people standing at the head of the city couldn't help but be startled, and their faces were panicked.
Then, when they turned their heads in panic and followed the sound, they saw that a black shadow the size of a basin suddenly appeared at the height of the mountainside from the loud noise just now, roaring all the way, straight to Anshi City.
The next moment, under the stunned gaze of all the Goguryeo people, the black shadow suddenly fell on the south gate, and then a deafening loud 'boom' was heard, and the whole foot shook the mountain.
And in this place where the mountains shook, and where the black shadow had just fallen, the bricks and stones were splashed, and the soldiers standing nearby were also blown up and fell down the city wall.
And when I looked there again, I saw that half of the city tower that was originally there had disappeared directly, and the bricks and stones that had just been splashed were the half of the city towers that had disappeared.
"It's... What is it? This shocking scene was obviously stupid, all the Goguryeo people who saw it, at this time, opened their mouths vigorously one by one, looking at this scene incredibly, and after a while, someone said to themselves.
However, as soon as these words fell, a loud 'boom' was heard from the other side of the mountainside, and then, as just now, the black shadow reappeared, roaring all the way down to the north gate.
After these two sounds, the Goguryeo people did not react, and on the two mountainsides on the left and right, there were loud noises of "boom", "boom" and "boom" one after another.
Immediately, one after another, black shadows roared and smashed on the north and south gates respectively.
And when the black shadows one after another fell on the north and south gates of Anshi City, at this moment, Anshi City, which seemed to be a war fortress and was indestructible, began to tremble wildly.
"Within ten days, if you don't capture Anshi City, the commander will retreat!" In the deafening explosion, a domineering voice suddenly came from under the city.
On the tower of the city, there was a translator who could understand the Tang dialect, and translated the unintentional old eunuch's overbearing words to Yang Wanchun and others.
Hearing the translator's words, even though there was still artillery fire around, all the Goguryeo people couldn't help but gasp.
It's just that their surprise is not completely over, and at this moment, from the mountains on both sides, there is a deafening 'mighty' sound from the Tang Dynasty soldiers.
'Mighty! ''Mighty! ''Mighty! ’
This voice, not one person, not a hundred, not a thousand, but tens of thousands, one after another, came from the mountains on both sides.
The dense forest obscured their voices, however, the sound in all directions, coupled with the effect of the echo, seemed to be more than 100,000 troops surrounding the city.
At this moment, when looking at the more than 1,000 Tang soldiers under the city, in the eyes of all the Goguryeo people, there was no contempt for weirdness, and some were just a feeling of suffocation under the pressure of the boulder.
ps: Last night there was a sudden thunder and wind, there was a power outage, I got up in the morning, and the call came, so I hurried up to code the word, or late, sorry (to be continued.) )
