Chapter 710: Northern Allies (Part II)
During the opening of the Great Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo attacked Su Mo Ya, Su Mo Jin Ya was defeated, and the leader Tu Di Ji and his brother were forced to lead tens of thousands of people from the eight divisions of Ji Ji and Hu Cilai, from the northwest of Buyeo City to Liaodong, requesting to attach the Sui Dynasty.
Emperor Wen of Sui placed them in the area of Liucheng County to live, Yang Guang ascended the throne after the title of Tudi Ji as the Taishou of Liaoxi, the official worship of Jin Ziguanglu doctor, although in Liucheng County for nearly 20 years, but the people of the Yan Dynasty never forgot their homeland, after following the Sui army to Goguryeo, Tudi Ji took advantage of the weakness of Goguryeo to lead the army to recapture the hometown of Buyeo, and moved the people of the headquarters back to their homeland.
This Goguryeo's large-scale attack on Liaodong not only threatened the safety of the Central Plains Dynasty, but also felt great pressure on the Yatar people, who knew very well that once Goguryeo captured Liaodong, they would inevitably turn around and clean them up, and they would even face the threat of extermination.
The chieftain Tudiji immediately sent his henchman Meng Chi to Liaodong and even the Central Plains to call the police, Mengchi met the Sui army scout general Sun Ying in the area of Yiwulu Mountain, and took Sun Ying back to the tribe.
This made Tudiji very excited, and with the unanimous support of the ministers, he decided to send troops to assist the Sui army in attacking Xincheng, not only to repay the grace of the Great Sui for containment, but more importantly, for their own safety, so that their children and grandchildren could live in this fertile land.
In a forest about ten miles north of the new city, 10,000 warriors had been stationed in the woods for several days under the leadership of their leader, Tudiji, who was about forty years old, very strong, with black hair like a lion, and a pair of eyes that had been through the vicissitudes of life flashed with wisdom.
It was time for the hour to go, but he still didn't move, he stood on a fallen tree, staring at the dark city wall in the distance.
"Chief, it's time to go!"
Meng Chi stepped forward and reminded him in a whisper that according to the previous agreement, the army of the Yan people would attack the city at the third watch tonight, but without the cooperation of the city, it would be absolutely impossible to capture the new city with only 10,000 troops of the Yan people.
The danger of Xincheng is even higher than that of Liaodong City, as long as 1,000 soldiers can resist the strong attack of tens of thousands of troops, and there are 3,000 Goguryeo soldiers in the city.
"Do you think they'll succeed in taking the gates?" Tu Di Ji stared at the city wall in the distance, and did not hide his inner worry.
"Chief, they are all very strong soldiers, and his subordinates saw a soldier kill a black bear alone, and there was no one around him to help him, and everyone took it for granted that he killed the black bear."
Tu Di Ji laughed, "Killing a hundred black bears may not be able to take the city gate." ”
"Chief, subordinate"
Before he could finish speaking, Tu Diji waved his hand to interrupt his words, and said lightly: "No need to explain, it has reached this point, even if I don't believe it, I have to believe it." ”
He then turned back to the soldier and shouted, "Go!" ”
In the darkness of the night, Tudiji led 10,000 soldiers on a rapid march to the new city ten miles away
Time gradually came to the third watch, the new city was still as quiet as usual, a group of Goguryeo soldiers patrolling back and forth at the head of the city, and there were 100 soldiers stationed at the gate of the city, which was a strict rule of the Goguryeo army, regardless of whether the city was on the front line or not, as long as it entered a state of war, the defenders at the city gate could not be less than 100 people every night.
However, there were not many guards in the city, only hundreds of soldiers patrolled and guarded near the warehouse, but they did not find that hundreds of weapons had been lost in the warehouse.
In the darkness, Sun Ying and twenty of his men appeared in a stone house less than fifty paces from the city gate, which was also a few rows of stone house barracks, but because 7,000 Goguryeo soldiers went to the Liao River, these barracks were empty.
However, the stone houses closest to the city gate have become temporary resting places for the soldiers guarding the city gate, and it is estimated that someone is sleeping in the house, so Sun Ying did not go to the stone house closest to the city gate to hide.
Although they did not wear armor and were still dressed in tatters, at this time they had completely recovered the spirit of the Sui army scouts, holding spears, bows and crossbows in their hands, and swords on their backs, all of them murderous.
Sun Ying had already thought of a plan, they could go around from the back of the stone house, and they were only twenty steps away from the city gate.
At this time, a soldier rushed back and reported in a low voice: "There are five people in the stone house, all sleeping, and there are no soldiers patrolling the city wall above." ”
Sun Ying nodded and waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”
Twenty of his men came out of the stone house and followed him along the back wall, and in a moment they came to the back of a stone house closest to the city gate, which was only twenty paces away, and the city gate was planted with torches, and the guards of the city gate could see it clearly, and they saw a hundred Goguryeo soldiers sitting under the corner of the wall, holding spears in their arms, and many of them opened their mouths, apparently asleep.
Sun Ying looked back in the distance, about a hundred steps away in a row of stone houses hidden other seventy Sui army scouts, led by the captain Wang Canghai, because the city gate is very huge, to open the city gate is not only to remove the two thick iron bolts on the city gate, but also to go up to the city to push the winch to open the city gate.
Sun Ying and Wang Canghai divided their troops into two ways, and when Sun Ying led twenty people to attack the city gate, Wang Canghai led other scouts to kill the city head and open the city gate.
When the time was about to reach the third watch, twenty Sui scouts raised their crossbows and aimed them at the Goguryeo soldiers at the city gate, and they cooperated very tacitly, each shooting one person, ensuring that they could shoot twenty enemy soldiers at a time.
'Bang! Bang! Bang! ’
The sound of the third watch sounded on the head of the city, and the appointed time finally came, Sun Ying looked up at the city, his heart was heavy, full of an indescribable tension, he must be attacked by the people of the Spirit, otherwise the mission is very likely to fail, but he does not know how the people of the Devil will inform himself.
At this moment, there was a sound of 'boom-' at the head of the city, this was the sound of the sound of the Ming Di, all the Sui army scouts were in good spirits, and several Goguryeo soldiers by the city gate also looked up at the city, how could there be a sound of Ming Di?
"Shoot!" Sun Ying gave the order in a deep voice.
Twenty crossbow arrows were fired at the same time, and the arrows were accurate, and the twenty soldiers who were sleeping under the city wall let out a series of muffled screams, but none of them could stand up, and the defenders at the city gate were suddenly in confusion, and many people looked back at the stone houses.
"Kill!"
Sun Ying shouted, and twenty Sui scouts threw down their crossbows and picked up their spears and rushed towards the city gate.
The Goguryeo soldiers at the city gate finally reacted, drew their swords and rushed up, and fought fiercely with the Sui army scouts, but although the Sui army scouts were not many in number, they were extremely strong and brave, and they could kill the Goguryeo soldiers at the city gate with one as ten.
At the same time, Wang Canghai led seventy scouts from afar, rushed directly to the city, and fought with a group of patrol soldiers who rushed to hear the news, there were only more than 20 patrol soldiers, and they were all killed in a moment, but another team of patrol soldiers rushed over.
A hurried alarm bell sounded above the city, and Sun Ying was in a hurry and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly!" ”
Wang Canghai came to his senses, slapped himself hard, turned around and ran towards the winch of the city gate
The new city is located on the mountainside of a large mountain, surrounded by dense woods, at this time in a forest a hundred steps outside the city, 10,000 soldiers are ready to charge, the leader suddenly stared at the city gate with full attention, he has heard the shouts of killing on the city, and the Sui army scouts in the city seem to have moved.
Meng Chi's heart was even more nervous, he kept praying for the shaman's protection, at this time, the city gate gradually opened a crack, Meng Chi suddenly shouted, "Chief, the city gate is open!" ”
Tudi Ji turned around and yelled, "Kill me with me!" ”
"Kill—"
10,000 soldiers rushed out of the woods and slaughtered the gates, which were opening wider and wider, and by this time, the city was already in chaos, and the sleeping Goguryeo soldiers rushed out of the barracks in rags, they did not know what was happening, and many people thought that there was a riot in the people.
But there was indeed a riot in the camp, and thousands of angry people, led by more than 200 Han people, rushed to the warehouse, and hundreds of people surrounded the soldiers guarding the warehouse, beat them to death with their fists, and they smashed open the door of the warehouse and rushed into the armory.
But the stubborn resistance of the Goguryeo soldiers made it not easy to take the city, and the shouts of killing rang all night, until dawn, the last group of stubborn Goguryeo soldiers were killed in the barracks by random arrows, and the 3,000 Goguryeo soldiers in the city were finally annihilated, but the soldiers and people also paid a heavy price of more than 3,000 deaths, so far, Goguryeo's fortress Xincheng in the north of the Liao River finally fell.
