Liaodong New City is an important military town in Liaodong, Goguryeo, and is one of the three major fortresses of Goguryeo's defense line along the entire Liaohe River in the past. It is located in the middle reaches of the Liao River, between the Liao River and the Xiao Liao River. And he was still in the rear of Liaodong City, only a day away from Liaodong City.

Xincheng, Liaodong City, and Liuhe City, these three mountain cities are like a huge triangle. After more than 200 years of operation by the Liao people, Liaodong City was the first fortress and the strongest gate to block the Central Plains and the eastern Liaodong tribes from attacking Goguryeo.

Liuhe City, which is only more than ten miles away from Liaodong City, is the acropolis of Liaodong City, and the new city is an insurance existence of Liaodong City. At the time of the war, if the city of Liaodong was finally lost, the Goguryeo people, who had lost their country, could keep the last gate in this passage to continue to block the enemy's attack.

Moreover, during the war, Xincheng, which was located in the rear of Liaodong City, was also a wartime general logistics base. This city is also managed by the Liao people, although it is far less than the first fortress in the northeast of Liaodong City, but hundreds of years of operation, but also make this mountain city a heroic city.

Over the past few hundred years, the Central Plains Dynasty and the Western Liaoxi tribe have attacked Liaodong several times, but they have all been blocked under the Liaodong City, and even the edge of the new city has not been able to move. Even the first two expeditions of the Great Sui to Liao, the new city was as stable as Mount Tai. However, during the third expedition to Liao, because of the incompetence of Gao Qi, the king of Goguryeo Xincheng, he fell into the hands of the Sui army for the first time.

Since then, it has been operated as an important forward base to resist the arrival of the Goguryeo people. However, at this time, the entire new city was wide open, not only was it not guarded by soldiers and horses, but there was not even a ghost.

Gao Jian had lost an arm and had lost the ability to command the front army. Yizhi Wende simply transferred his own brother, Yizhi Wude, as the commander of the former army, re-equipped 20,000 horses, and once again took the lead in going north to Liaodong.

Yizhi Wude is also a veteran in the army, but he is not a famous general like his brother, just a general who uses soldiers steadily. accepted Gao Jianwu's lesson, and along the way, the front army he led was a battalion step by step, and Xiao Mu Yiyi did not give the Sui cavalry any chance at all. A few days later,

He finally crossed the Xiaoliao River with 20,000 horses and rushed to the foot of Xincheng.

At dusk, it was as red as blood!

The 20,000 Goguryeo front troops lined up in a complete array. The front shield bearer, followed by the spearman, then the axeman, and then the archer. On either side were the only three thousand cavalry in the army, guarding the two wings. Behind the battle, there were forty-five trebuchets brought all the way from the south. At the end, there are hundreds of ladders, but the Otchi Martial Arts plan to use them. The new city is built with high walls, and he will definitely not be able to take it with 20,000 people.

Why did he bother touching that nail, he just had to rush here with people, and as for the siege, it was better to wait for the arrival of the army.

However, at this time, Yizhi Wude took dozens of former army generals and stood hundreds of steps away from the city on war horses, looking at Xincheng with a look of surprise.

The city gate was opened, and even the drawbridge had already been lowered. There was not a single Sui army above the city, only the Sui army battle flags all over the city, silently planted on the city, fluttering with the evening breeze!

Silence, silence!

There was no one at the head of the city, and there was silence, but the 20,000 Liao people under the city were shocked, suspicious, and confused.

In the silence, you can faintly hear the sound of drums in the city. There are war drums, that is, there are people in the city, but the city gates are wide open and the drawbridge is lowered, but what is going on?

If something is abnormal, it will be a demon, and the more fearful it is, the more likely it is that there is an unpredictable killing machine lurking.

Yizhi Wude led the troops, never seeking merit, but seeking no fault, and talking about a stable word.

If there was another brave and brainless general at this time, as soon as he saw the city gate wide open, what were he waiting for, he would have already entered the city. However, this Yizhi martial arts, xìng Ge is suspicious, and he seeks stability in everything, and as soon as he saw this abnormal situation, he immediately began to think about it.

"General, let's attack the city!" A fierce-looking last guest suggested. In his opinion, this is a good opportunity to win the new city, and if he wins the new city, it will be the first contribution of the Northern Expedition, how can he be willing to miss such an opportunity.

Another general immediately said, "No, there are strange things in this city, and I rushed into the city for fear that I would fall for the tricks of the Sui army." If the Sui army set up an ambush in the city, wouldn't we be ambushed by the Sui army as soon as we entered the city? ”

"Could it be an empty city plan? I heard that during the Spring and Autumn Period of the Central Plains and the Warring States Period, the prince of Chu was Zheng in the Yuan Dynasty, and the city of Zheng was empty, with only a small number of soldiers and horses, and it was in danger. Let the shops open as usual, and the people will come and go as usual, and there will be no trace of panic. The gates of the city were opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and it appeared to be completely undefended. As a result, in the end, Gongzi Yuan thought that Zheng Guo had already taken precautions, and he was suspicious and retreated. Now are the Sui people also making this one? ，,

Yizhi Wude glanced at the general unhappily, and said with a dark face, "The new city is only a day's journey from Liaodong City, and the Sui people of our army's Northern Expedition have long known about it." And they are still raiding our army in Daliangshui, how can they be defenseless? Xincheng is the third largest city in Liaodong, and it is so close to Liaodong City that it is impossible for the Sui people to give up. Since they have been on guard for a long time, and their soldiers and horses are near, why do they need to put up any empty plans? "What does the general mean is that the Sui people opened the city gate and lowered the drawbridge to set up an ambush in the city? Want to trick us into the city? ”

Yizhi Wude seemed to have decided that the city was a trap, and he stroked his beard and smiled, "That's right, it must be the case, the two generals Gao Zhen and Gao Yannian were surrounded and ambushed by the Sui army yòu into Liaodong City that day. It seems that the Sui people want to repeat the old trick this time, but it is more mysterious. No matter what he does, I'm not moving! The herald army retreated twenty miles and set up camp, and everyone cheered up to strictly prevent the Sui people from attacking the camp. ”

Gao Guang, the former deputy general of the army, was Gao Jianwu's confidant general and Gao Ming's younger brother who died in Liaodong City. Seeing that Yizhi Wude was actually going to retreat like this, he was contemptuous, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General, although what you said is very reasonable, it cannot be ruled out that the Sui army saw that our army was going north, and all abandoned the new city and withdrew the soldiers and horses to Liaodong City. According to the general's opinion, it is better for our army to send a small army into the city to investigate, then it will be clear whether there is an ambush. If the Sui army really withdrew early, then our front army should take this opportunity to recover Xincheng.

Otherwise, if we wait until the Chinese army arrives and finds that the new city is just an empty city, then we and other former soldiers will not make people laugh to death. ”

Yizhi Wude saw that the deputy general Gao Guang actually confronted him in front of him, he was unhappy, and said with a dark face, "Since this is the case, the general will order General Gao to lead a hundred people into the city to investigate." ”

Gao Guang was stunned, he didn't expect Yizhi Wude to only give him a hundred people, although he was very sure that the new city was already an empty city, but if there was really an ambush in the city, then his hundred people would go in, and it would not be a sheep in the tiger's mouth, and there would be no return.

Looking at Yizhi's face full of yīn smiles, the highlight face was also yīn uncertain, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Ben will obey the order!" Gao Guang quickly gathered a hundred of his men, and with a hint of apprehension, carefully rode across the drawbridge, through the city gate, and finally entered the city. Along the way, nothing happened.

The 100 cavalry continued to advance, not only was there no one at the head of the city, but there was no one at the city gates, not even in the streets, and the whole city was quiet, as if everyone had suddenly disappeared.

The horses' hooves made a soft crunching sound as they stepped on the stone slabs of the city's main road. In the tick-tick and tick, the war drums in the center of the city were still ringing, but the rhythm of the drums seemed to be a little disordered and chaotic.

A hundred soldiers searched separately, and after a while, the entire vicinity of the East City Gate had been searched, and one by one the cavalry stepped forward to report that there were no traces of the Sui army.

Gao Guang finally put down his heart, sent a person back to inform Otchi Wude, and he went to the city with his soldiers and horses. When they reached the center of the city, everyone was stunned and burst into laughter.

At this time, in the dim sky, everyone saw that there were seven or eight sheep tied up and hung on their hind feet, and there was a big drum under each sheep, the sheep kept struggling, and the two front feet kept moving, and naturally beat on the drum surface, Gao Guang couldn't help but laugh and said: "I said why is the drum sound so messy, it turned out to be this, it seems that the Sui army did abandon the city and fled." After a while, all the cavalry who searched around returned, "General, there is not a single Sui person left in the entire city." The warehouses in the city were also empty, and it seemed that the Sui army had already prepared and emptied the new city in the morning. ”

After Gao Guang left the city, he announced the situation in the city in front of the generals with a sè face.

"What now? Checkmate? Although it has not snowed in Liaodong, it is already freezing in the cold at night, dripping into ice. At this time,

There was an empty city in front of everyone, and of course everyone didn't want to stay in the wilderness and set up tents to eat the north wind.

Ulzhi Wude's face was ugly, and he wanted to order the whole army to camp outside the city, but when he saw the reaction of the generals, he also guessed what everyone thought. He was originally a general of the Chinese army, but this time Gao Jianwu was seriously injured and could not lead the troops, so he was asked to lead the front army. Which of the generals in the army will sincerely obey him, and he will not offend everyone at this time.

After a while, he said, "The whole army enters the city, recovers the new city, and each general will lead troops and horses to occupy various key points in the city." In addition, send soldiers and horses to carefully search the whole city again, strictly prevent any traps and ambushes left by the Sui army when they left, especially for all the wells, to check whether they have been poisoned!
