Chapter 89: Secretly crossing Chen Cang
On the afternoon of the third day after the secret withdrawal of the Sui army, it was still raining in the sky, but at this time it was no longer a heavy rain, but a wet and cold autumn rain drifting everywhere with the wind.
The west wall of the head of the city in Liaodong is still full of guards, although it is raining, the army has not come to attack the city for two days, but the prince has an order, let them play up the spirit of defense, in case those Sui troops suddenly attack the city.
Bursts of slanting wind and drizzle completely blew away the last summer day in Liaodong, and at this time, the defenders sitting on the city wall with spears in their arms were in their arms one by one, and they were draped with some things to keep out the rain.
A hunter-like Minzhuang rubbed his hands, looked at a few people around him who were also drenched, and said, "This ghost weather, I was shirtless a few days ago, and when it rains, people who are cold are shivering." ”
Another gray-haired old man held a wooden shield on his head, "Thanks to the weather, if it weren't for this heavy rain, I wouldn't know where you would be now." Now I hope that this rain will continue to fall, and then the rainy season, and then the heavy snow in the winter. At that time, these Sui people will not come to attack the city again, and we will be able to pass this level with peace of mind. ”
A boy who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, his cold teeth were about to fight, and he said with a pale face, "What does it matter now, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I just want to change the guard immediately, I can go home and drink a bowl of hot soup, and then change into warm clothes and sleep." ”
The group of people on the city wall all poked their heads out to look at the Sui camp in the distance, but there was still no movement, and they were relieved.
The older old man looked at the sky, "It is estimated that the Sui people will not come to attack the city again today, it is almost evening now, even if they want to attack, they will attack again at night, and it should not come at this time." Let's hold on a little longer, and we'll be able to change the guard in a little while. These damn Sui people! ”
The Rongliu Palace, in the inner city of Liaodong City, had already lit a fire in Gao Jianwu's room at this time, Gao Jianwu sat in front of the stove and said to Gao Ming next to him, "Are you ready?" ”
Gao Ming held one arm alone, nodded and said, "Lord Wang, everything is ready, as long as those Sui people don't attack the city today, we will be able to break through smoothly at night." Then we will go straight to the inner city, where I have sent a team of men to report to the inner city, and they will go out of the city to answer it. Looking at the current siege of the Sui army, it may be because of the rain, and the siege is not as tight as before, as long as the team of people and horses go out of the city, basically they will not find out. ”
"They shouldn't attack the city today, if the Sui people attack the city today, it won't be so easy for our 10,000 people to take it away!"
Gao Ming was silent for a while and then said, "Lord Wang, the Sui army has not attacked the city in the past two days, and now it is almost evening, and the Sui army will not attack the city during the day." But if what Hu Sizheng said is true, if the Sui army really wants to retreat, then they want to take Liaodong City before retreating, and they will definitely make a big move in the next few days. Hypothetical speculation is that the Sui people may be accumulating strength and deliberately paralyzing us. Maybe we just want to relax our defenses first, and wait until the evening or early morning to suddenly launch a siege, which is very likely. ”
Gao Jianwu sat there a little distracted, and said after a while, "I hope the Sui people won't attack the city today, as long as it takes a few more hours, we will be able to break through." It's really not good, I think we can advance the time of the breakthrough a little earlier, as long as it is an hour after dark, we will break through! The more I stay here, the more uneasy I feel, and it's better to get back to the city as soon as possible. That damn Hu Sizheng didn't tell me earlier that the new city had been occupied by the Sui people. If our heralds are intercepted by the Sui, then the enemy will be able to clearly know the reality of our city. At that time, the Sui army will definitely come to attack the city. ”
When it rains, it always gets dark early, and although the hour is still early, the sky is already getting darker, and it will be completely dark in less than an hour.
Ten miles away on all sides of Liaodong City, there were several camps of the Sui army, which were originally the four camps of the Sui army that were on guard in front of the camp, each garrisoned the base camp of 50,000 troops. However, at this time, the Sui army had already retreated, and these large camps were just the camps of the troops who were sent by Chen Kefu to the Four City Gates for a bluff two days ago.
But at this time, the four camps have already changed people, and the siege troops will set off from here in a while. Among the four battalions, four siege tunnels were under its cover. Until the Sui army entered the city through the secret tunnel, no one would know their movements. ,
In the camp to the south, Chen Kefu took 5,000 elite soldiers from the broken army camp, as well as 5,000 new soldiers from the 6th Division, and was completely ready to fight. All the soldiers had rested for half a day during the day, and they had already eaten dinner in advance, and they had recuperated for half a day, just for the success of the battle tonight.
Chen Kefu, the commander of the cavalry, also had to leave his beloved war horse in the camp at this time, wearing battle armor, not bringing a horse lance, but carrying a horizontal knife.
Looking at the 10,000 people in front of him, Chen Kefu was excited, "Are you all ready?" Today, we are going to recover the Liaodong City, which has been taken away by the Liao people for 200 years. Now there are only 10,000 disabled soldiers in the city, and we have hundreds of thousands of tunnels, and we will be able to succeed in a battle, and after today, all the soldiers will be remembered in the annals of history. All soldiers can also make immortal achievements, brothers, fight for the country, recover the homeland, and get promoted and rich in one fell swoop. Ben promised to capture Liaodong City, in addition to the materials and money in the major warehouses in Liaodong, all the Liao people in Liaodong City will give half of the money to today's soldiers at that time. ”
At this time, all the soldiers were also teased by Chen Kefu's words, they can not only make meritorious contributions, but also have a lot of money and rewards, the morale of these soldiers has been stimulated, and everyone's blood is boiling.
As for the defenders in Liaodong City, they have been ignored by them at this time, but they are just more than 10,000 disabled soldiers, and they have 400,000 people.
"Although Ben Jiang promised you money in the city, there is one thing, and these goods will not run away in Liaodong City. Before all the cities were taken, if anyone did not listen to the order, and did not care about the battle, but only plundered, he would have been killed. After all the money in the city is breached, it will be searched by the army, and then distributed to the generals according to the merits, and no one is allowed to plunder it privately. Dare to disobey the order! ”
Explaining this matter in such a solemn manner is also worried that those civilian troops will get carried away as soon as they enter the city, and they will not even remember the combat mission. If there was chaos as soon as he entered the city, then perhaps his hundreds of thousands of people would have to be defeated by the defenders.
"Remember, our mission is first, to enter the south city directly through the tunnel, first grab the south city gate, and welcome the people from outside the city into the city. Second, don't fight against the enemy, insert directly into the inner city, and take the inner city gate in one fell swoop, only by taking the inner city, can we succeed in today's battle, understand? ”
"Okay, from now on, all the mouths are called, no noise, and they will enter the dark passage together with Ben. Let's go! ”
Walking in the dark passage, Chen Kefu also had to admire Yang Guang's strategy, such a dark passage that can be more than ten miles long for four people to march upright in parallel, what a big project it must be. And there are as many as twelve such secret passages, not only that, but such twelve secret passages have been dug for nearly a month, and the Sui army has not let the Liao people find out, which is indeed too powerful.
In the continuous rain, the sky in Liaodong finally darkened, although things were still visible, but the city and the city had begun to light a little torch, and the remaining people in the city also began to light up the lights.
A group of guards dressed in animal skin cloaks walked up to the city, replacing a group of defenders who had been drenched in a damp drizzle for a day. The soldiers who had already handed over the city defense had smiles on their faces, and they had been squatting in the rain for a day on top of this damn city, and now it was finally over. Finally, I can go back to the camp to drink a sip of hot soup and change into warm clothes.
The exit of the secret passage to the south of the Sui army was not far from the city gate, and the exit was not dug through, but there was still a layer left, which was supported by wooden planks and wooden pillars underneath. As long as the Sui army did not remove the supporting planks and wooden pillars from below, the Liao people might not be able to find it even if they walked on it.
When Chen Kefu arrived at the exit, the vanguard had already opened the exit, but it was still covered with wooden planks, but a team of people had already gone up in the night.
After a while, there were a few knocks from above, Chen Kefu signaled, and immediately a guard opened the plank carefully, and a soldier who had gone up earlier made a gesture to the bottom, signaling safety.
Chen Kefu nodded and made a gesture to the back, and the most elite soldiers of the Broken Army Camp took the lead in announcing the exit.
After hundreds of people had already passed through the exit, Chen Kefu also followed Hu Hai and other generals out of the passage, and at a glance, they were in a private house hundreds of steps away from the south gate of Liaodong City. No wonder no one found out that Chen Kefu was overjoyed, and now the matter is half successful.
"What about the others?"
"General, the others are already taking control of the vicinity within a few dozen steps, and now everything is fine, no one has noticed us."
Chen Kefu nodded, "Hu Hai, after you wait for about five hundred people, you will immediately lead the men and horses to the south city gate, as long as we capture the south city gate, our chances of success will be doubled." Shen Guang, you wait for the soldiers of the broken barracks to come up with about 500 people and go straight to the south gate of the inner city, if you can take advantage of their surprise, it is naturally best to raid and grab the south gate of the inner city, if not, you can lead people to block the enemy near the inner city, and prevent the defenders of the outer city from entering the inner city through the south gate. ”
"Yes!"
