Chapter 1961: Burning the City
.lā
The troops of Goguryeo and Baekje must have at least 200,000. There are simply so many cards that can be played.
It doesn't matter if he is guarding the city with 2,000 or 10,000, everyone can send some people to watch over him. The other part of the people went to divide their troops to pursue His Majesty Li Er, and they did not delay.
Don't worry about the back road being cut off, in the territory of Goguryeo, there are Goguryeo people's back roads everywhere. People are fighting on the inside line, so they don't have to worry about this at all.
What he wants to gamble on now is that Yuan Nanjian and Fu Yu Zhang, in order to be perfect, concentrate on encircling themselves and give up His Majesty Li Er.
Of course, strategically speaking, it is the most cost-effective to capture His Majesty Li Er. But the problem is that if the emperor of the Tang Dynasty leaves behind the army and runs for his life, it is really very difficult to arrest him.
I think that when the Han King Yang Lang's 300,000 troops crossed the sea, almost all the troops were wiped out. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty marched to Goguryeo with a million-strong army, and the army was also one out of ten. Such a big defeat has hurt half of Yang Liang or Emperor Yang of Sui
And Guo Ye is different, in order to attract enemy troops, he has to constantly expose the target, and he doesn't dare to run far, and the difficulty of capturing him is simply worlds apart.
As for the more than 50,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty, what if those people were all annihilated
For Datang at best, it hurts the muscles and bones, and it will be relieved in two or three years, and it will not affect the overall situation. To put it bluntly, it is easy to get a thousand troops and hard to find. These 50,000 troops may not be as important as Guo Ye.
Coupled with his deep hatred with Yuan Nanjian and Fuyu Zhang, there is no doubt how these two will choose.
Of course, Guo Ye didn't plan to use the empty city to defend against the enemy. The empty city plan is not a historical fact, but a family saying, just listen to the music, whoever believes it is stupid.
Although there are similar variants of the empty city plan in history, they either have reinforcements, or after temporarily retreating from the enemy, they will run away quickly.
He doesn't have either, how can he make an empty plan
Seeing thousands of unarmoured and unarmoured people rushing forward, Guo Ye turned his head and left.
Don't look at Da Zhongxiang full of confidence, but in the face of Guo Ye, who is known as the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, if he wants to say that he is not afraid, it is pure bragging.
Trembling, he walked into the city, but saw that the streets were empty. This was originally a military fortress, and there is nothing surprising that there are no civilians. But what about the military
Even if Guo Ye wants to make an empty city, there will not be only four people in the city, doesn't he have two thousand men and horses, where have they gone?
Is it an ambush somewhere in the city, ready to suddenly kill yourself to deal a fatal blow
Suddenly, in the eyes of the Great Elephant, Marudu City seemed to have turned into a hideous monster, choosing people to devour.
He gritted his teeth and said, "A team of five hundred people, search for me, but if you encounter the Tang army, don't fight, quickly issue a warning."
"Whoa"
The Tatars were divided into eight teams and searched for them in Marudu Castle. If all of them were to disperse and search the city to determine whether there was an ambush by the Tang army, it would not take long. But if you only divide into eight teams and search the whole city, it will take a lot of effort.
It was nearly an hour before he confirmed that there was no army in the city.
Dazhong Xiangqiang suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, urged the horse to come to the front of Yuan Nanjian, and said: "Lord Qiqi, Guo Ye's house really used an empty city strategy, and the soldiers in the city did not have any resistance. ”
Fu Yuzhang's eyes lit up, and he said: "In this way, isn't Guo Ye's house having no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground, just waiting for our army to catch turtles in the urn."
"Exactly. In order to be in order, he also asked the two lords of the country to quickly send a large army into the city and search for Guo Ye room by room."
"Good" Fuyu Zhang made a look, and the general Jiebo entered the city with five thousand elites. Yuan Nanjian was not stingy, and also sent 5,000 guards.
At this moment, an army of 15,000 was crowded into the small Maru Capital City.
Fu Yuzhang said: "Haha, it seems that Guo Ye is a smart person, and he has been confused for a while." It's really foolish for you and me, what kind of empty plan. It's good now, but being smart is mistaken by being smart, and I'm going to become a prisoner later. You say, how are we going to concoct this person?"
Yuan Nanjian was choked by his "fool". Just now, it seemed that he was a "fool", who fell for Guo Ye's strategy, not only did he not dare to attack, but also stopped Fuyu Zhang from attacking the city.
He laughed dryly and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, Guo Ye is not so easy to deal with." With his knowledge, don't you know the truth of thinking about defeat before you win?"
Fu Yuzhang sneered and said, "I'm afraid he's overconfident." Several times he won more with less, so that he completely underestimated the hero of my land of Sanhan. ”
"No," Yuan Nanjian rolled his eyes and said: "Even if his so-called empty city plan succeeds, how can he deceive us for a while, and he can still deceive us, if there is no strategy to turn defeat into victory, wouldn't he be destined to be captured by us, this is not like Guo Ye's handiwork." ”
Fu Yuzhang frowned tightly and said, "That's right." But he has no soldiers and no courage in the city, so how can he turn defeat into victory, I understand."
He slapped his thigh suddenly, and said, "Although ordinary people can't go down that cliff, Guo Ye has a unique skill, and he is not an ordinary person. Quick"
He turned his head to a young general beside him and said, "Spread the will of King Gu, tell the two generals, Jiebo and Dazhongxiang, to quickly investigate the side of the cliff." Don't let Guo Ye take advantage of the chaos."
"Yes"
Seeing the young general rushing away, Fu Yuzhang said: "It wasn't for the reminder of the Yuan Country Lord, it almost made a big mistake." It seems that Guo Ye's skills stop here, let's stop standing here stupidly and enter the city quickly. ”
"Not busy, not busy." Yuan Nan said: "You said that Guo Ye took such a big risk, just to escape in front of everyone, this is too unworthy." I'm afraid."
Fu Yu Zhang interrupted him and said, "Lord Yuan, you are too careful. If he has a thousand clever plans, someone has to be able to use them. The problem is that now, there are no soldiers in the city. At best, he can get out of the way, and as for the reversal of defeat."
Boom boom boom~
Suddenly, a series of violent explosions interrupted his words, and people followed the sound to see that at this moment, there was already thick smoke billowing out of the city of Maruto, and the flames were soaring into the sky
Although the walls of Maruto Castle are made of stone, most of the buildings in the castle are made of wood, and the fire is so large that it cannot be cleaned up in a very short time.
Although there were not many soldiers killed by the bombing, those who were burned to death were gone. In the last count, there were only more than 1,000 soldiers of 15,000 people. There are two or three thousand numbers that have been painted.
More than 10,000 people have already died.
Those Tatars are okay to say, but the 10,000 people sent later are all elite troops of the two countries. It's so broken, it's really painful to think about.
Fortunately, fortunately in the misfortune, both the uncle and the elephant are safe and sound. They listened to Fu Yuzhang's order and went to the edge of the cliff to find Guo Ye's traces, but they escaped because of this.
Da Zhongxiang knelt on the ground and said: "Weichen is incompetent, misjudged the situation, and tired the lord of the country to lose his troops and generals, and I hope that the lord of the country will be punished." ”
Yuan Nanjian clasped his hands together and said, "Get up." That Guo Ye is known as the god of war in the Tang Dynasty, and no matter how heroic his father is, he has been defeated by him repeatedly. You have been calculated by him, it is simply normal, what is the sin of the lone king who wants to punish you, then where is the father"
He paused for a moment and continued: "You can see that Guo Ye's strategy is similar to the empty city plan, which is actually not bad, but it's a pity that it's a bad move. There is no need to be devastated by this defeat, our battle between Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty is still long, and we have the opportunity to make contributions to you. ”
"Thank you, the lord" Da Zhongxiang kowtowed and said, "But I don't know what the lord plans to do next."
Yuan Nanjian smiled slightly, and said, "The Lonely King has already thought about it, let's give Guo Ye a force to reduce ten." The 300,000 troops of Goguryeo and Baekje were all dispersed to guard the pass. Do not seek merit, but seek no fault. I'm going to let him run his wings."
