[Chapter 139: Digging a Slope to Prepare Wine, Waiting for a High Sentence]

"Convulsions, how convulsions?"

Liu Qian said suspiciously.

"War horses are well-trained, and it is not so easy to make them convulsive and chaotic, and to win without a fight."

"Uncle Liu, can you still remember the words of Zhao Zhuo, the guard general of Zhuozhou?"

Leping reminded.

"Oh?" Liu Qian thought about it, and then frowned, as if he had thought of something.

"You mean?"

"Yes!"

Leping nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice.

"I once asked Zhao Zhuo, the defender of Zhuozhou, and the answer was no different from what I guessed, the Goguryeo cavalry horses under the crotch of the horses are broad, agile and vigorous, most of them are grassland horses, although the Goguryeo iron cavalry is imposing, but the cavalry is very cautious in the movement of the horse, from which it can be inferred that these cavalry armies have only been established recently, and they are built to resist the army of the Celestial Empire."

"And these horses may have been purchased from the Huns not long ago, the Huns are so smart, naturally they will not sell them the good horses they have trained since childhood, they will not train their enemies, these horses must be inferior horses or wild horses that have not been trained since childhood, and the same is true for horses, and most of these soldiers have no cavalry experience, and they will not be able to cooperate perfectly with horses for a while and a half, and it is already very good to be domesticated."

"The time is too short and they can't do it at will, and the training that horses have undergone since childhood is not too good, and when the two are combined, their shortcomings will come out immediately."

"That's where we can start."

Leping's explanation made Liu Qian's eyes suddenly brighten, and he looked at Leping's eyes in a little surprise, but he didn't think about it, not only by force, but also by extraordinary talent, and even this strategy is superior.

As a result, Liu Qian's cognition of Leping has risen a step in his heart, and it seems that he is not following the wrong person.

"So how do we do that?"

Liu Qianwei thought about it and asked.

"There's no hurry."

Leping smiled, looking at the vast wilderness in the north, a trace of coldness suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Uncle Liu, I will give you three days, and within three days, the archers of Zhuozhou City, the archers of Liyang County, and the archers in our Northern Expedition army will be scattered and integrated."

"This..."

Liu Qian's face was embarrassed.

"This time, the Zhuozhou guard will not agree."

"Don't worry, he'll be able to say yes soon."

Leping smiled slightly, and said with the right color.

"Before instructing people to go to the city to buy a large number of snakes, as many as you want, but do not want a poisonous snake, if there are not so many snakes, a little bit, prepare rabbits and mice."

Liu Qian was even more surprised, but he didn't ask anything, he just went down and ordered.

…….

In the evening, Emperor Yang of Sui's urgent order finally arrived, and it was no different from Leping's guess, Emperor Yang of Sui generously agreed to his request, and he had full authority to deal with the war.

Leping held the emperor list in his hand, and he was also suddenly relieved.

No matter what Emperor Yang of Sui planned in his heart, what kind of ghost he had, as soon as he had this order, he Leping would be able to make a big move here.

As soon as Yu Wenshu and Zhao Zhuo, the commander of Zhuozhou, heard this order, they were furious on the spot; But even if this is the case, they are helpless, hearing that Leping has sent an order to open the city gate to welcome Goguryeo, the Zhuozhou guard Zhao Zhuo left the tent directly in a fit of anger

And Yuwenshu looked at Leping meaningfully before leaving, and left with Yangchang, no longer participating in this battle.

Leping didn't pay attention to Yu Wenshu and Zhao Zhuo, until the end, he never thought that this battle would rely on these two people, soldiers, on the contrary, if they can win, they are kings!

……

The next day, Leping officially took over Zhuozhou City and began to prepare for the war.

Before the Goguryeo army retreated, all the battles in Zhuozhou City were decided by him, which was an order promised by Emperor Yang of Sui himself.

Leping got up early to climb the city tower, the Goguryeo army will only get up and start the camp in a few days, the first battle is successful, they must rest, Zhuozhou City is not a small city, they also have to prepare in advance.

And these empty days were enough for him to prepare.

When he first took Zhuozhou City, of course, many soldiers below were not satisfied, and Leping knew from the outside that he urgently needed a victory at this moment to stabilize the morale of the army, but now he was also facing a dilemma, and the soldiers of Zhuozhou City did not accept his orders at all.

Leping recruited the Northern Expeditionary Army, and at this moment, he was more familiar with the Northern Expeditionary Army than the Zhuozhou Guardians.

A few days, whether it is long or not, whether it is short or not, Leping is not sure whether those Goguryeo armies will come suddenly, so he can only hurry.

The 200,000 troops were all stationed in Zhuozhou City, and Zhuozhou was overcrowded all of a sudden, but fortunately, Leping had enough food and had no worries.

But this is also dangerous, if Goguryeo cut off their water flow and besiege Zhuozhou City, then there is nothing to be done, but Leping is now gambling, he bets that Goguryeo will start to take it lightly after a series of victories, and when he pretends to surrender, he will come into the city!

Outside the city gate began to dig earth, this project can only be placed at night, Leping mobilized 10,000 people, less than one night, it has been dialed into a landslide within 500 meters outside the city gate.

The landslide was not large, but it was enough for the water to flow down, but Leping did not release the water, this time, he was not repairing the moat, but had another plan.

Liu Qian has already searched for enough snakes, mice, and rabbits according to Leping's words.

According to the proportion, Leping packed them into small boxes and distributed them evenly to each place on the city embankment, with a bucket in five steps, and two shield soldiers in each barrel.

The boxes are wrapped in thick straw to ensure that the bow does not pass through.

Then all the archers were ordered to go up to the tower, and each archer wore a hard shield, the shield was covered with cotton cloth, and each of them had twenty arrows, which were not to be fired without an order!

Then he ordered the soldiers to collect all the wine, lamp oil, and paraffin wax in the city, and put them in vats and put them on top of the towers, and each of them was covered with thick straw to ensure that the bow could not be pierced.

With these preparations in place, Leping is ready to arrange for the residents to evacuate the former city......

Yuwenshu and Zhao Zhuo have been staying in the tent for a few days, and after a few days, their relationship has become closer, and when they heard Leping arrange it like this, Yuwenshu laughed.

"What do you do with digging slopes? Do you think that this small slope of less than a few inches can refuse to be a Goguryeo iron horseman? Chick mice, that's something that only children are afraid of, are those soldiers who have experienced life and death battles afraid of these? Joke! Milky boy, this general wants to see what kind of farce you can make, and when the time comes, there is no need for this general to kill you, after this battle is defeated, the saint will naturally not leave your life behind. ”

Yu Wenshu said, glancing at Zhao Zhuo on the side.

"General Zhao, start preparing to evacuate, we may die with that little cub, and then we can follow the general."

At the beginning, Yuwenshu's relationship with Leping had deteriorated to the extreme, which can be seen from the fact that he had a little cub in every word.

"Ugh."

Zhao Zhuo pretended to nod reluctantly, but he was ecstatic in his heart, following Yuwen Shu who was above tens of thousands of people under one person, was he still worried that he would not be able to develop?

"Then I hope General Yuwen will carry it."

……

The three said hurriedly passed, and as Leping expected, there was finally a trace of movement in the distance.

"Newspaper!! The Goguryeo army has been launched! ”

"Newspaper!! The Goguryeo army was less than fifty miles away from the city of Zhuozhou. ”

"Newspaper!! The Goguryeo Army..."

Leping finally had a smile on his face.

"Listen to my orders, open the gates of the city, and wait for the Goguryeo army to come!"
