Cai Dao saw that Guo Zhongxiao did not answer his question, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood what was going on.

"If it's positive, it means that the poor road will attack the north gate, and if it is the side, it will mean that the poor road will attack the east gate!"

This method seems to be a bit child's play, but when you lead troops to go on an expedition, it often depends on luck. This point, even Cai Dao can't refute.

Just like before, the reason why Cai Dao marched so smoothly this time was not because he stopped Guo Zhongxiao, but temporarily bypassed the traitor Li Zhongshun.

If Guo Zhongxiao really had to kill Li Zhongshun easily, then the Song army would probably still be on the way to attack the village?

As a result, the copper coin that Cai Dao threw on the ground showed that it was the opposite.

In terms of the distribution of generals, Cai Dao only brought Zhi Keda, his aunt, and Xie Feibao and Shi Ernai a total of four generals, and the rest of the generals, both generals and junkies, all belonged to Guo Zhongxiao's side.

After the distribution was completed, the fleet first docked, put 15,000 soldiers and Guo Zhongxiao ashore, and they led their troops ashore from the west of Thang Long City and detoured back to the direction of the North Gate.

Cai Dao and the rest of the soldiers continued to stay on the boat to rest, and the boat also stayed in place and did not move.

In the second half of the night, the sailors quietly continued to sail the ship upstream. However, Cai Dao left the large battleships in place.

Once the siege began, Cai Dao would have people send a signal to inform them. These giant warships will sail to the south gate of Thang Long City.

If the army of the Great Viet Kingdom wanted to cross the Red River by boat, Cai Dao's sailors would use these giant warships to destroy all the ships in Thang Long City.

Although Guo Zhongxiao did not have his father's military talent, he still had a clear eye for governing the army, and did not expose the whereabouts of the Song army in the process of marching in a roundabout way at night. During this period, it was inevitable to encounter a few Dayue people who did not travel at night for a long time, and their subordinates disposed of these people on their own. At such a moment, even a Confucian like Guo Zhongxiao has to harden his heart.

Fortunately, neither action was exposed.

However, because these Song troops were not plagued by night blindness, Cai Dao advanced the time of the attack to half an hour before dawn.

When the time came, the two small vanguard battalions trained by Xie Feibao and Shi Ernai showed their skills in front of the army.

I saw more than a dozen thin soldiers grabbing the teeth of the city wall with their flying claws, and after grabbing them, they rushed up one after another. It only took two quarters of an hour for the pioneer battalion to sneak into the city wall in front of all the Song troops, and the rest came to the most critical moment - to open the city gate from the inside.

Thang Long City is not small, with three gates in the south, east, and west.

For the sake of safety, and because the number of people in the pioneer battalion was too small, Cai Dao suggested that Guo Zhongxiao's first step was to concentrate on attacking the city gate in the center, instead of controlling all three city gates at once. This gate is larger in width and height than the gates on both sides, making it ideal for large armies to quickly enter the city.

Once the army enters the city gates, it can immediately divide its forces and plunder the other two northern gates.

Let's not mention the north gate attacked by Guo Zhongxiao.

Let's talk about Cai Dao's direction.

After successfully sneaking into the East Gate, it was extremely easy to disarm the defenders of the East Gate.

Eventually, however, the news of an invasion of Thang Long City was spread.

The defense of Thang Long City was lax, but there was no problem with the defensive arrangement itself, and there was actually a layer of secret whistles behind the city gate.

The number of these secret sentinels was very small, but by the time they released the beacon fire, it was too late for Cai Dao to send someone to stop them. However, Cai Dao still tried his best, and even pulled to the house to extinguish the fire.

Speaking of which, this matter is still Li Zhongshun's fault, he knew about it, but he forgot such a very important matter. You know, he used to be a dark whistle himself.

However, Cai Dao only learned about this later.

Moreover, the duty of these outposts is not here, not to guard against the enemy's sneak attack at all, but to prevent the defenders of the city from rebelling. These secret sentinels are equivalent to the Imperial City Division in the Great Song Dynasty Bianliang City.

This is also Cai Dao's little unlucky, the little leader of the secret whistle he met is a character, with a flexible brain and decisive work, originally, the place where they are stationed is very secretive, but there is no beacon. When the little boss noticed that things had changed, he immediately set fire to his house and the surrounding houses. He himself led his men and fled quickly into the city.

The fire did cause a riot in the neighborhood, but fortunately, Li Zhongshun and his people stabilized the situation and put the matter aside for the time being.

Cai Dao immediately gave instructions, Xie Feibao immediately led 5,000 soldiers to quickly advance in the southeast direction and occupy the city gate there, while Zhe Keda and his aunt led 7,000 soldiers to quickly advance in the northeast direction and occupy the city gate there.

For the two thousand more soldiers, Zhe Keda and Zhe Kerou were naturally dissatisfied, and felt that Cai Dao was still underestimating their aunt and nephew.

Cai Dao called Zhi Ke to the front and whispered a few words, but Zhi Ke immediately didn't say a word and left with his troops.

There are only 3,000 people left here at the east gate, and the defense is naturally weaker.

"Nephew, just tell your aunt, did that stinky Taoist priest tell you something?" Zhe Kerou pursed her red lips and asked very angrily.

But nature was very troubled by this aunt, so she whispered: "Auntie, speak quietly." Master, the reason why he assigned so many people to us was because he was worried that General Guo's actions would not go well. After taking the city gate in a while, my nephew and I will bring another 5,000 soldiers to assist General Guo from the flank and rear. When the time comes, the nephew will only be able to leave you with two thousand soldiers.

Auntie, if you can't, your nephew will leave you a thousand more, how about it? ”

"Cut, my good nephew, you better care more about yourself! Even if you only leave a thousand people for my aunt, I have the confidence to defend the city gates. Speaking of which, it's true, that stinky Taoist priest worries about this and that every day, doesn't he worry about himself? The east gate must be the main battlefield! There were only 3,000 people left there, and he didn't know if he would be able to hold it. Zhi Kerou pursed her lips and said seemingly unconcerned.

Zhe Keda thought back to the past and said, "Auntie, you can relax!" At the beginning of Taihang Village, when we were conducting military exercises, no one was able to break through the camp guarded by the master. ”

"Cut, that's because you don't let my aunt participate, if I lead the team, I will definitely make that stinky Taoist priest a big ugly."
