"How long has the enemy besieged the city?" Zhang Tong looked at the slowly retreating enemy troops, and asked the soldiers around him with a worried face.

"Lord Qiyu, it's been five days!"

"Five days?" Zhang Tong was stunned when he heard this, "Isn't there any news of reinforcements yet?" ”

When the soldier heard this, his face turned pale and replied, "No ......"

"Alas! I'm afraid there won't be any reinforcements! I am afraid that our connection with Liaodong has been severed by Goguryeo. Even if Cui and Feng sent reinforcements, they would not be able to break through the 30,000 troops stationed in Goguryeo. ”

In the past few days, as the Goguryeo army has repeatedly repelled the invading Goguryeo army, Zhang Tong no longer has any hope for reinforcements. At present, his greatest hope is to rely on the defenders inside the city to repel the Goguryeo army outside the city and ensure the safety of tens of thousands of people in the city.

In fact, Zhang Tong, who was hiding in the city, didn't know that the Liaodong reinforcements had already come, and it was only because of the siege of the Goguryeo people that Liu Zong and others could not get in touch with Zhang Tong for a while.

"It's not a way to go on like this, if you don't try to get in touch with the defenders in the city, I'm afraid they won't last long!"

Mr. Liu sat in the cabin with an anxious face, since he was ordered to accept the task of coming to reinforce Zhang Tong, he led the Laoshan Quanshui Division of 1,000 people, sitting on dozens of large and small ships, carrying a large number of ordnance, grain and grass to the sea near Lelang and Daifang two counties. It's just that I didn't expect to be a step too late, and the Goguryeo army took the lead in besieging the Korean city.

"If you join the army, why don't you find a way to get in touch with Lord Zhang in the city first?" Sima Wang Wei of the Water Division Army suggested.

"You think I don't want to get in touch with Master Zhang? But now that the Korean city is surrounded by 20,000 Goguryeo troops, how can the scouts get by? I can't let the soldiers below lose their lives for nothing! Adults don't always teach us not to make unnecessary sacrifices in war. ”

Mr. Liu had a sad face, of course he wanted to get in touch with Zhang Tong as soon as possible, but the enemy didn't give him a chance at all! You can't rely on the sailors to attack, right? Forehead? Wait a minute...... Navy? Storm?

He seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly spread out the map on the desk and looked at it carefully. I don't know how long it took, but Mr. Liu finally showed a smile on his face.

"Did you join the army think of any good way to break the enemy?" Wang Wei looked at Mr. Liu, who was happy, and interjected and asked.

"It's not a good policy, it's just some experience, and I'm just asking for the guidance of the military Sima." Mr. Liu did think of a way to break the enemy, but this plan required the cooperation of the sailor.

Saying that, Mr. Liu pulled Wang Wei to the side of the case, pointed to the muddy water on the map, and said: "Wang Sima, you see, the muddy water comes from the northeast, crosses the north of the Korean city and flows into the sea in the southwest. Although the Goguryeo army numbered tens of thousands, there was not a single sailor who could send a single soldier to the city, so we would send a small elite sailor along the river to break through the enemy's blockade and send aid to the Korean city. ”

After listening to Mr. Liu's statement, Wang Wei's eyes flashed, and he smashed his fist on the desk with excitement and said: "It's a good strategy to join the army!" I think this plan works! ”

"Wang Sima, don't be too happy, there is still a key problem to be solved here: is it possible to sail more than a thousand large ships on the water of the river? If we can't pass through the thousands of sea ships, even if we open up water transportation, I am afraid that we will not be able to send the assistance from the ships to the city in a short time. ”

"If you rely on a small boat of one or two hundred materials to transport, I don't know how long it will take, in case the Goguryeo people come to sabotage halfway, the loss of personnel is small, the loss of grain, grass, ordnance delays the adult's plan to destroy the enemy is a big matter!"

"Well, what you said when you join the army is very true, I think we can send a small group of elites to investigate one or two first, as long as we determine the reality of the muddy water, we can follow the plan."

Three days later, the scout of the navy who went to investigate returned smoothly and brought news that made Mr. Liu and Wang Wei overjoyed. According to the scout survey, the water surface of the water is wide and the volume of water is large, which is enough to carry thousands of large ships. Although it can't run as smoothly as at sea, it is still navigable.

After solving the problem in their hearts, Mr. Liu and Wang Wei immediately took action according to the original plan. In the first operation, out of prudence, Mr. Liu only sent a thousand material transport ship, while there were 20 large and small warships escorting, and the rest of the ships were all left in the nearby waters to standby.

On that day, more than 20 ships, under the operation of sailors, sailed up the river from the mouth of the river to the mouth of the river. Because the Goguryeo people did not expect the Jin army to come from the sea, the Laoshan Shui Division did not encounter any obstacles at all, and arrived near the Korean city all the way safely.

At this time, the enemy and us who were fighting on the city wall were suddenly stunned by the rush into the naval warship, and tens of thousands of enemies and horses around the battlefield looked at the twenty large and small warships with a blank expression, forgetting to continue fighting.

"Dangdang!" With the sound of gold, the Goguryeo soldiers who were besieging the city quickly retreated. It turned out that the commander of Goguryeo could not distinguish between friend and foe, so he had to withdraw the army for the time being, and then make plans after understanding the situation.

Not to mention the suspicious Goguryeo people, even the defenders in the city were confused. Zhang Tong stood on the wall of the north gate, looking at the twenty warships waving flags on the water outside the city, and he was inexplicably happy and worried.

Seeing this, Wang Wei, who had been observing the changes between the enemy and the enemy on the warship, hurriedly ordered: "Raise the banner of the Jin army, and shout to the defenders in the city, just say that reinforcements are coming!" ”

"The defenders in the city listen, we are reinforcements from Liaodong, open the city gate quickly!" In a short time, the shouts of dozens of sailors reached the Korean city, and even Zhang Tong, who was standing on the city wall, could hear it clearly.

When the defenders of the city learned that the reinforcements were coming, many people wept with joy and shouted happily: "The reinforcements are coming, we are saved!" Reinforcements are coming, we are saved! ”

"Your Excellency, do you want to open the gates?" A pro-soldier asked Zhang Tong for instructions with a happy face.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tong refused with a serious face: "Slow! Whether the person who is coming is friend or foe has not yet been determined, so don't rush to open the city gates! ”

"Why?" The soldiers were a little puzzled, a few days ago, their lord was looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements day and night, and today the reinforcements came, but they turned away the reinforcements out of the city, I don't know what it means.

"You know what?! They say they're reinforcements, and you believe it?! What if it's the enemy pretending? When did you hear about my Dajin deploying sailors in Liaodong? All the sailors of my Dajin are in Jiangdong, how can there be sailors coming to reinforce them? If my prediction is correct, I am afraid that the enemy saw that our city was strong and difficult to attack, so he adopted a ghostly trick! ”

"Ahh No way? It turned out to be a white joy! The pro-soldier drooped his head and said weakly, thinking that he was looking forward to reinforcements, but he didn't want the enemy to pretend to be it.

"Humph! How can you hide this general? Wait and be careful, if the enemy sailors attack, just use rockets to force them back! Alas, it was very difficult to defend the city, but I didn't expect the enemy army to have such a strong sailor as a helper. Zhang Tongyi looked worriedly at the warship road on the river.

Seeing that the city gate had not been opened for a long time, Wang Wei and the others on the boat were in a hurry. If it drags on, it will be troublesome for the Goguryeo people to react. He looked at Zhang Tong on the city wall and said thoughtfully: "This Lord Zhang is quite cautious!" However, it is also good that those who are cautious are best suited to defend the city. Send someone to the city with the letter and seal of the county order of the Yu clan and hand it to Lord Zhang, so that he will not doubt the identity of our others! ”

Soon a sailor scout was brought to the city wall by the defenders of the city through a hanging basket, and Zhang Tong's own soldiers were surrounding the sturdy man who hung up with a wary face. Unexpectedly, the man was not afraid at all, shook the soil on his body Shi Shiran and said: "Quickly inform your family Lord Zhang, just say that the reinforcements sent by the county order of the Yu family have arrived!" ”

"I'm Zhang Tong, you said you were a reinforcement sent by the county order of the Yu family? Is there any evidence? Seeing the calm look on the person who came, Zhang Tong stood up from behind the guards and asked.

"Lord Qiqi Zhang, this is the letter and seal handed over to you by Lord Qi's order, you will understand everything after reading it!" As he spoke, the person who came took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Zhang Tong along with the package on his back.

Zhang Tong first checked the authenticity of the seal in the package, and then opened the letter and read it carefully. After reading the letter, Zhang Tong completely understood the origin of the sailor outside the city, and at the same time, he also felt grateful for the guard Cao Xin, whom he had never met.
