Body 415 Humiliating the city
Li Hong got up, walked to the simple barbecue grill, motioned to Hua Meng to continue roasting rabbit meat, turned his back to Yu Tuqi and said, "Forget it, what's the point of retreating, Bai Chun is just giving you a reward, and it's not a violation, but why haven't you spent it yet?" You don't usually spend money? ”
Wei Tuqi's face became a little red, when he heard the words of His Royal Highness the Prince, he didn't know how to answer, usually there was everything in the palace, as for drinking and traveling to the flower shop, he didn't have that mind, not to mention that as His Royal Highness the Prince's personal guard, Miss Bai didn't allow them to drink.
"He's like us." Hua Meng said with a smile, not caring about his eunuch identity at all.
"Nonsense, I'm not like you, I just don't know how to spend it." Yu Tu Qi straightened his neck and retorted.
At this time, I saw a soldier running over, came to Wei Tu Qi, saluted and said, "My lord, General Liu Renliang is more than forty miles away from us, and it is estimated that he will be able to come and join us before dark." ”
"Okay, we'll be out when you're full of food and drink. What about stingers? Has Cui Zhifen's sailor arrived? Li Hong took a bite of the medium-cooked rabbit meat and said with a mouthful of oil.
"Your Highness, the sting has not yet returned." Hua Meng saw that Li Hong no longer pursued their welfare, but he was greatly relieved, although it was useless for him to ask for money, but he changed it into a silver ticket and put it in his pocket, and he felt very down-to-earth.
"Okay, then we don't have to wait for him, tonight we will set up camp under the city of Humili, use as bait for Liu Renliang's troops, and see if we can let the Goguryeo defenders of the city of Humili come out." Li Hong said nonchalantly chewing on rabbit meat.
Wei Tuqi, Hua Meng, and Cheetah, who have also fought with Li Hong and have been battle-hardened for a long time, still gasped involuntarily after hearing Li Hong's words.
Li Hong looked at Hua Meng and the others who were stunned and didn't eat, just looked at the people he ate, put down the rabbit meat in his hand and asked, "What?" Don't dare to go? ”
"Your Highness, why don't we lead our troops and wait for General Liu Renliang here? Isn't 3,000 of us too dangerous? Hua Meng and the cheetah looked at each other, and finally Hua Meng came out and said stubbornly.
They also know that it is difficult to change the things decided by His Royal Highness the Prince, but this move is really a bit risky, at the beginning in Tubo, it was better to have 20,000 soldiers and horses, at least to protect His Royal Highness the Prince, and it would be no problem to escape from Tubo at that time, so they dared to go.
And now, with a total of only 3,000 people, and if they are weak, they are going to run to camp under the noses of others, isn't this looking for death?
Naturally, they didn't dare to say this to His Royal Highness the Prince, so they had to implicitly dissuade His Royal Highness the Prince, whether to wait here for Liu Renliang's army to arrive and .......
"No, don't worry, it'll be fine, maybe we can stage a myth of victory without a fight." Li Hong continued to eat rabbit meat with a relaxed and leisurely expression.
In the eyes of Hua Meng and others, it always felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't seem to be talking about the war of attacking the city and grabbing land, but as if he was going to go and go to Taiyi City or Lantian County to go around.
However, in Li Hong's view, this humiliating city is located on the bank of the Datong River, although it is the Goguryeo royal city of Liujing, in the face of the last barrier for the Tang Dynasty to attack their royal city, its garrison force may not be too small.
But Wei's weakness is that if there is really a large army besieging the lonely city of Humiliation City, when Liu Jing can't rescue in time, or doesn't dare to come to the rescue, Humiliation City is simply a turtle in an urn, no need to attack, they can be trapped and trapped.
Therefore, if you see the Tang Dynasty army approaching the city, and the defenders of the city are isolated and helpless, and there is no way to ask for help, maybe they will face the Tang Dynasty army and surrender without a fight, so it is definitely a good thing to break through Liujing, the royal city of Goguryeo, and at least suppress Goguryeo again from the morale.
Ignoring the bitter words of a few people, when the three thousand soldiers and horses were finished eating, and Hua Meng and the others were still hungry, Li Hong ordered the army to pull out the camp with a cold face.
The armor that was wiped by Wei Tu Qi was shiny and shiny, without a trace of dust, and even could shine on the figure of a person, Li Hong didn't even wear it, he was wearing a white round-necked robe, and his head was freely tied behind his head, and he didn't even do it, so he stepped on the back of the food stamp so casually, and a loud whistle sounded, and the black shadow in the sky pounced on him.
On the road, Li Hongxian is actually Hai Dongqing is really human, compared to Bai Chun's younger brother Bai Qi, he is not far behind, patted Hai Dongqing on the shoulder, Li Hong rode on horseback, and there was naturally no one around except for the prince's guard and Hua Meng.
The army was ready, and in about two hours, before the sun was about to set, they could easily reach the city of Huyi, and even if it was faster, before the sun set, they could set up their tents.
Like a tour, the three thousand soldiers and horses walked unhurriedly on the so-called official road of Goguryeo, and Li Hong continued to discuss with Hua Meng about what Haidongqing should be called.
"The whole body is snow-white, and it can fly, how about it or let the snow fall?" Cheetah thought for a long time and said.
"No, the name Xueluo sounds too poetic, Saker, it has to match its name, I think since it's called Haidongqing, it's better to be called Xiaoqing?" Yu Tuqi stroked his chin beside him, thinking of such a broken name when he wanted to break his head.
"Xiaoqing? This name is very familiar, but it is quite easy to pronounce, so let's call it Xiaoqing, it feels very similar to whose name. Li Hong agreed to Yu Tuqi's suggestion.
Wei Tuqi on the side didn't expect that he would say his name so casually, but instead of being scolded by His Royal Highness the Prince, he was even agreed to by His Royal Highness the Prince! From time to time, his cheeks were sluggish, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
Hai Dongqing didn't seem to be very disgusted with the name Xiaoqing, and under Li Honglu's patient teaching, the name Xiaoqing was actually adapted to by Hai Dongqing in less than two hours.
The city with a golden halo scattered in the setting sun slowly emerged from the end of the horizon, and the city of humiliation was not very large, and its outline seemed to be smaller than the city of Na'an from a distance.
Li Hong didn't know that this was not a city in the strict sense of the word, its function was more like a military city, hoarding more grain and grass and soldiers guarding the royal city of Liujing.
But as the so-called Ji people have their own natural appearance, maybe people have shit luck, and now not only the Tang Dynasty is eyeing the royal city of Goguryeo, but even Silla and Baekje, as Li Hong guessed, after the Tang Dynasty began to wage war against Goguryeo, they were already ready to move on the border line, and were always ready to take the lead in attacking the royal city of Goguryeo before the Tang army.
The three thousand soldiers and horses were still advancing unhurriedly, and the sunset was not only scattered on the city of humiliation, but also on the formation of three thousand iron hooves, and the horse lance in his hand shone with golden light in the setting sun, as if it had been demonized, giving people a feeling of depression and as if it was about to be swallowed.
The dust raised by the horse's hooves in the rendering of the setting sun, as if it was also covered with a layer of gold, the original black armor of the Tang cavalry, under the oblique light of the sun, dragged a long shadow, silently continued to advance in the direction of the city of humiliation, the banner of the Tang Dynasty waved in the wind, like a god and demon, to the city of the Tang Dynasty iron hooves of the mighty spirit.
And the horn was already sounding rapidly on the head of the city of Humiliation, and even under the tailwind, the panicked shouts of the soldiers on the head of the city could still be faintly heard.
After less than five hundred steps away from the city wall of Humili City, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty slowly stopped advancing, and the three thousand iron horsemen stood quietly on the plain below the city, without the slightest noise, between the silent iron hooves, only when the breeze blew through the plain, there was a whining sound.
As far as the eye can see, on the city wall facing Li Hong's side, it is the figure of the people at this moment, and the nervous soldiers crowded the entire city, and after a short time, a general in armor walked to the top of the city.
Li Hong picked up the binoculars and looked over, and after seeing the scene on the city, he almost fell off his horse: ", what is this doing?" Why did so many soldiers run up to the city without weapons in hand? ”
When several other people heard Li Hong's words, they all involuntarily raised the binoculars in their hands and began to look at the soldiers guarding the city at the head of the city, only to see that the soldiers on the city head were indeed as His Highness said, and the soldiers on the city head all looked flustered, their faces were even white, and their lips trembled and they gathered around the general, not knowing what they were talking about.
The generals defending the city also looked flustered, listening to the advice of the people next to him, and they were even more annoyed in their hearts, why did the Tang army come to the city so quickly?
Could it be that Mudi, Cangyan and the three cities of Nansu surrendered directly? Otherwise, how could he have reached Humiliation City so quickly? Could it be that they flew over?
"General, seeing that they are only 3,000 people, with our troops, we will definitely be able to defeat them." The adjutant general next to him looked at the few Tang troops in the city, clenched his fists and said.
"Impossible, the Tang army has a lot of generals, and there is that thunder to cheer us on, now the people in the city are probably the ones who lure us out of the city, and there must be ambushes in the rear, just waiting for us to open the city gate, they will attack in." Another general guarding the city looked at the Tang Army, who was as stable as Mount Tai under the city and couldn't feel the slightest panic, and said solemnly.
"General, no matter what, the Tang army was able to reach our humiliating city so quickly, obviously Cangyan and other cities have been broken, otherwise they would not be able to do it so quickly, so the last general thinks that no matter whether there is an ambush behind the Tang army or not, we must not act rashly, so as not to give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it."
The general defending the city blinked his single-eyelid eyes, looking at the Tang soldiers below who were silent and motionless, and were lined up in several phalanxes, and for a while, he couldn't come up with an accurate idea in his heart.
