Chapter 60: Looking South 2

On a summer night, the Yalu water sparkles in the bright moonlight, and the still, slow-flowing river surface sometimes has river fish jumping out of the water, plopping down and sinking to the bottom in the blink of an eye. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tonight, however, the quiet river was different from the past, and hundreds of fishing boats loaded with heavily armed soldiers quietly descended down the river to the west of Bozhuo City, passing hundreds of meters into the Yalu River.

However, the 60-zhang wide flotilla of 100 boats on the water crossed the river in less than half an hour, and the well-trained soldiers on board landed one after another, and none of them spoke from beginning to end.

Xue Ne glanced at the shack by the river, there were five people in the shack, the smell of blood filled his mouth and nose, and there was a pile of firewood more than one person high next to the shack. These unlucky Goguryeo people were sent to monitor the outpost of the HB Tang Army, and that paystand was naturally for the beacon alarm.

It's a pity that the Goguryeo people set up a sentry booth every thousand zhang on the south bank of the Yalushui River and sent five soldiers, but when the Tang army launched a night attack today, it was silently solved by the Tang army scouts who crossed the river first.

Xue Ne didn't say a word, and his cold eyes stared at the small town in the northeast that was hazy in the moonlight. After the soldiers crossing the river were assembled, Xue Ne waved his hand, and a group of Xuanjia soldiers under the cover of night quietly touched the small city in front.

Qianchuan Fortress is the closest city on the south bank of the Yalushui River to Bozhuo City, the scale is not large, only a few thousand residents, but the Goguryeo defenders in the city rarely have 3,000 soldiers and horses.

The ugly hour of one or two o'clock in the morning is precisely the time when people sleep the deepest and those who are on guard are the most sleepy, and it has always been the best time to launch a night attack at night.

When thousands of Tang troops touched the city of Qianchuan, the defenders on the city were unaware, the standing defenders were dozing with their heads down, and the soldiers on patrol were also weak, their eyelids were about to close, and their body instincts supported them to walk back and forth in the city.

Under the gesture of Xue Ne's eyes, who was crawling under the city, one by one the Tang soldiers took out the ropes hanging on their bodies and threw a rope with a slipknot at the end to the section of the city where the defenders sparsely trained the soldiers took more than a moment to come. The soldiers who were responsible for the assault on the rope and the city were all elite taxes in Yanyun's iron cavalry, and they could ride and shoot well, and they were not at all afraid to climb the city wall.

The rope thrown up was tightly encased on the female wall of the city, and the Goguryeo defenders standing a few steps away from the rope were still napping, snoring louder and louder, not knowing that they were about to see Lord Yama.

The Tang army under the city pulled the rope and nodded to the other comrades around him after confirming the fatigue, and under the leadership of dozens of teams, one by one the elite soldiers bit the horizontal knife in their mouths and frowned, grabbed the rope and quietly climbed up.

Tang Jun lightly touched the city wall, sneered at the Goguryeo people who were napping a few steps away, covered the person's mouth with an arrow step, and wiped his neck with a short knife in his right hand.

One after another Goguryeo soldiers standing guard were touched on their necks in drowsiness, and more and more Tang troops climbed up along the ropes, full of hideous excitement towards the other Goguryeo defenders.

"Who?" The patrolling defenders turned their heads and suddenly found several black shadows dozens of paces away approaching them, but none of the Shanggang soldiers who had just passed by were standing. The patrol soldiers swallowed in unison, staring at the dark shadow in front of them.

"Enemy Attack ......"

"Whoosh."

As soon as he shouted, several arrows came from the darkness, and the team of ten people was shot three on the spot.

"The brethren will kill me." was discovered by the Goguryeo people, and the Tang army did not hide and touch it, raised the knife in his hand and rushed up to slash and kill the remaining Goguryeo army.

The night of Lingchen was silent, and the shouts of the Goguryeo army before their death were clearly heard hundreds of meters away, and the Tang troops who had climbed several other sections of the city wall were discovered one after another, and then there was a burst of fighting. The screams of people before they died, even the Goguryeo people who slept like pigs were awakened.

The Tang army attacked the east gate of Qianchuan City at night, and the climbing section of the city was only a few hundred meters away from the city tower, and it was discovered by the defenders that it had already boarded hundreds of Tang troops. The Tang armies on both sides launched a frantic attack on the East Gate Tower. Many Tang soldiers who had just been awakened by the sound of fighting and rushed to the ground without being caught off guard were hacked to death, and looked at the Tang army who kept stepping on them with frightened and incredible eyes before they died.

The Goguryeo defenders on the city tower were slaughtered by the fierce Tang army in a few strokes, and the dozens of defenders guarding the city gate were stupid, and when they saw the Tang army wielding a blood-dripping long knife to kill from the city, half of them scattered in a hurry, and the other half was more of the Tang army that was rushed down and blocked at the city gate and could not escape, and fought with the Tang army under the leadership of a few diehards.

However, the incident happened suddenly, and the other city gates and the defenders in the city did not have time to support, and the dozens of Gaoju troops at the east gate were outnumbered by the Tang army and were cut to the ground by the Tang army in a few strokes.

The closed east gate was opened from the inside, and the thousands of Tang troops surrounding the gate poured into the city like tigers and wolves with excited howls.

It took a few quarters of an hour for the sluggish Goguryeo defenders to gather reinforcements from the battalion, and ran headlong into the murderous Tang army that rushed into the city.

After a battle, the Goguryeo army was defeated and fled from the east gate.

The city of Qianchuan was full of blood, and the Yanyun Iron Cavalry, who was shuttling through the corpses, had long been accustomed to the fragments of human limbs, and some Tang soldiers were digging out the corpses of their own soldiers from the corpses and transporting them outside the city for centralized treatment and burial, and the Goguryeo people who found them were not dead and mended their swords.

"Return to Your Highness immediately, below Qianchuan City."

"No!"

After arranging the post-war affairs, Xue Ne's eyelids wanted to close his eyes several times and fall asleep, and after fighting in the middle of the night, his body was exhausted, and he came to the city lord's mansion of Qianchuan City, which was searched clean, found a clean side room, fell on the bed, and the snoring sound couldn't stop.

As soon as the sky was bright, a pontoon bridge across the river appeared on the Yalu water. The fishing boats that sent the army across the river were all chained together and tightly tied to dozens of iron piles driven deep into the ground on both sides of the Yalu River.

A group of Tang soldiers in black uniforms are nailing pieces of newly made wooden planks to the fishing boat, making it a truly flat and unobstructed pontoon bridge.

"Congratulations to Jun Xun, below Qianchuan City!" The four daughters of Xin'er on Bozhuo City raised their hands playfully and cutely to congratulate.

Li Yu pinched Xin'er's creamy little face and said with a smile: "When I get off Pyongyang City, the four of you can prepare gifts to reward Ben Yin." ”

"You're so bad." Xin'er smiled and slapped Li Yu's hand holding her little face.

Looking at the cute and beautiful four daughters, especially the gradually developing Xin'er and Xing'er, the little steamed buns stood up, and the two girls who were smiling like flowers made Li Yu's mouth a little dry.

Xin'er noticed that Jun Jun's eyes stayed on her and Xing'er's breasts for a while, and snorted arrogantly: "Three sisters, just brought a new pair of tea from Jiangnan, let's go taste it." ”

In Li Yu's puzzled gaze, he simply pulled away the three of Xing'er.

A fifteen-year-old girl in the Tang Dynasty was not as ignorant about men and women as a young girl of the same age more than a thousand years later. In this era, many fourteen-year-old ladies were married to women, and Xin'er was even more enlightened by the older female officials in the palace when she was fourteen years old. Everyone knows that King Yan's personal maids like Xin'er and the fourth daughter will become his woman as soon as King Yan reaches his age.

For Li Yu's naked gaze just now, Xin'er understood it, and she was happy in her heart, but she planned to fish for Li Yu's appetite, and the feeling of being separated could make Xun Jun, who grew up together, always interested in herself. After all, she is just a palace slave maid from a humble background, and whether she can become a Confucian under the princess in the future depends on whether she can catch the heart of Xun Jun.
