On the seventh day when the Tang army was building siege equipment day and night, the moon was dark and the wind was high that night, and the visual distance was only ten steps.

Hu Xiegu led a thousand ape battalions to climb out of Jian'an City from the cliffs in the south.

Even if a city is strong and only focuses on defense, it will fall inferior. The reason why the turtle is revered as a god is not because his tortoise shell is strong and unhurried, but because he has a sharp counterattack under the protection of that strong armor. The same is true for a city, a city that is truly managed with heart must be both offensive and defensive." When you defend, you can defend, and when you attack, you can attack.

Jian'an City is such a strong city, in order to cooperate with the special structure of Jian'an City, Hu Xiegu specially trained soldiers who are good at rock climbing to call it the Ape Arm Battalion, all of them are like apes, and can rely on ropes to go around Jian'an City from the cliff.

After nearly an hour of trekking, he secretly led the ape arm battalion around the rear of the Tang army camp, and the Tang army built siege equipment lurking nearby.

Hu Xiegu was not in a hurry to attack, but watched quietly from a distance, tirelessly looking at every detail, he was thoughtful, calm as a rock, and never had such an irrational mood as impetuousness.

After watching for half an hour, Hu Xiegu was 100% sure that the Tang army was indeed negligent in defense, and there was no ambush, so he called several henchmen and generals to the nearest place and ordered: "Don't kill people first, destroy their siege equipment as much as possible." As soon as the Tang army battalion began to support, it immediately retreated. There is no need for us to make direct contact with the Don Army in this place. ”

Silent, no deafening shouts, no superfluous sounds. Smoke rose in the wind, and flames had risen into the sky. Illuminate all the equipment camps!

Countless birds in the forest were frightened by the noise and flapped their wings into the blue sky. For a while, the figure was longing. The neighing of horses and the flying of dust, the tranquility and serenity of the right people have been completely replaced by chaos and noise.

Su Dingfang woke up from the noise in his dream, and without delay, he got up from the bed and walked out of the military tent directly: as a general, he developed a habit of sleeping in armor, and when he was needed, he rushed to the key position one step ahead of anyone else. While others were in armor, he was ready for all kinds of battles.

"It's finally here after waiting for days!"

In the shortest moment, Su Dingfang gathered his guards and rushed to the rear of the barracks.

This battle is bound to lose according to the original plan, but this defeat also has a losing battle, and the defeat of minimizing losses is also a technique, not to mention that a defeat may not be impossible to turn defeat into victory.

The backbone of Jian'an City is Hu Xiegu, if the opponent's surprise attack is led by Hu Xiegu, they can capture and kill Hu Xiegu. It's better than everything.

The cavalry slaughtered!

When Su Dingfang was about to adapt to the situation, he found that the other party had retreated, and there were more than 1,000 of them, waiting for them. Slowly retreated, without any confusion or noise, as if a whole was retreating into the woods.

Su Dingfang glanced around. Suddenly, he reined in his war horse and said, "Leave two hundred people with me to escort you, and the others will fight the fire!" ”

Look at the dark shadow that slowly recedes. Su Dingfang did not pursue, but gave the order to put out the fire.

Hu Xiegu silently watched the movements of the Tang army in the distance. Although there were very few enemies who rushed to support, they were not afraid, and under the command of the opposing generals, they were divided into two groups, one group was put into the firefighting, and the other group pressed towards their side.

Hu Xiegu looked at it with admiration, this is a veritable elite division, if they face each other, they may not even have a 1% chance of winning.

"Withdraw!" Hu Xiegu knew that his abacus had been broken, and gave the order to retreat.

When Luo Shixin received the battle report from Su Dingfang, it was already early in the morning of the next day.

Luo Shixin was only sleepy under Liaodong City, but he had nothing to do, and after receiving Su Dingfang's battle report, he read it carefully, and handed it to Liu Ren, who was just beside him: "In the face of this Hu Slope Valley, even Dingfang has a headache!" ”

Liu Renliang also finished reading the battle report, and let out a long breath and said, "Indeed! This valley is really like a rock, steady and invulnerable. No matter how strong the military ability of the fixed side is, it will be difficult to exert its own strength in the face of this impeccable defense. ”

The duel between Su Dingfang and Hu Xiegu seemed simple and ordinary, almost silent, and there were not many casualties. But among them, it shows the stability and alertness of Hu Xiegu and Su Dingfang.

The way to set fire to Hu Xiegu was comprehensive, setting fire to all the warehouses, the fire was not large, but the scope was extremely wide, and then he lured Su Dingfang to fight, intending to drag his reinforcements into battle, thus neglecting to fight the fire. There is a kind of black oil in Goguryeo, which is extremely difficult to extinguish as long as it is ignited, and as long as it is burned for a while, all the equipment will be destroyed.

The enemy was just in front of him, but Su Dingfang saw through their strategy and directly put out the fire, and left his soldiers to guard against Hu Xiegu while they were fighting the fire, and rushed in again.

Seeing that there was no trace to be found, Hu Xiegu chose to retreat. And Su Dingfang also successfully saved half of the siege equipment, minimizing casualties.

This is war, a little bit of righteousness and sloppiness, you can suffer calculations and pay a certain price, and the game between the generals and the generals is the competition for who thinks more.

"Delivered a victory! You should win the victory, it's worth it! Luo Shixin smiled and snapped his fingers, asking Liu Renliang to carry out the original plan.

**********

New City Tower!

Yuan Song has been unable to sleep and eat for a few days, it can be said that he doesn't think about tea, he doesn't want to eat, looking at such a big mistake of the Tang Army, his heart is like thousands of ants crawling, not just thinking about personally leading the troops out of the city and fighting a beautiful battle, so that his grandfather knows that his grandson has long been able to take charge of himself, not that the infant child needs all kinds of reminders and all kinds of care. But when he received the lord of the new city, he promised his grandfather that he would not be allowed to go out of the city to meet the battle, no matter what the circumstances.

On one side is his own thoughts, and on the other side is his own commitment. The two sides contradicted each other, and Yuan Song was in a dilemma, and it was really difficult to choose.

"Your Excellency...... The Tang Army moved! ”

Yuan Song had red and swollen eyes full of red silk that he hadn't slept well, and he had no intention of picking up the food in his mouth, chewing absentmindedly, and suddenly heard the news from Tang Jun, and he didn't have time to eat, so he threw down the dishes and chopsticks and walked out of the dining room to inquire about the situation.

"The Tang army under the city withdrew half a mile, for some reason."

After getting this news, Yuan Song recalled the layout of the Tang Army's military camp in his mind, and his expression became extremely ugly. When he came to the stable, he jumped directly on his foal and ran to the castle tower in one breath.

"Damn!" Looking at the Tang army's brand-new camp layout outside the city, Yuan Song angrily smashed the city wall with his fist, and the Tang army retreated half a mile, just covering up the flaws that were originally exposed. At that moment, Yuan Song had a feeling of regret in his heart, if he hadn't been undecided, maybe he would have won the first game by now.

However, the Tang Army covered up their weaknesses, and Yuan Song's heart was much more relaxed, at least now he would not care about whether he fought or not.

But Yuan Song's mentality was not maintained, and just when he didn't think about the attack, he got a reason for the Tang army to shrink the military formation: because of carelessness, the Tang army attacking Jian'an City was attacked by Hu Xiegu, and almost all the siege equipment was burned, and it was completely destroyed in the middle of the night after many days of hard work.

Yuan Song can't stand it this time, he can lose to anyone, but Hu Xiegu can't.

This nobleman is also known as the pride of the nobleman, and Goguryeo was deeply impressed by the culture of the Wei and Jin dynasties. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Central Plains derived a number of famous families because of Chen Qun's nine-product Zhongzheng system in the Han Dynasty, such as the Wang Xie family, the Boling Cui family, the Qinghe Cui family, the Qinghe Lu family, the Xingyang Zheng family, the Zhaojun Li family, the Longxi Li family, and other families, all of which are the mainstay of the country.

The Yuan family is also a well-known family in Goguryeo, and has existed as early as the Three Kingdoms period. There is a record in the "Later Han Book of Goguryeo Biography": there are five parts of Goguryeo today: one is called the inside, and one is the Huang department, that is, the Gui Lou department; the second is the north, a rear, that is, the slave department; Three said east, a left, that is, Shunnu also part; Fourth, in the south, a front part, that is, the slave department; Five said west, a right part, that is, the slave elimination department.

The Yuan family is one of the Shunnu tribes of the five divisions.

These hundreds of years of family naturally have the glory of nobility. The two most existing veins of the Yuan bloodline are the Yuanziyou lineage that broke Yang Guang in the past and the Yuanbin lineage that guarded Liaodong. The descendants of the Won Son Yoo line have now become the real rulers of Goguryeo, and his cousin Won Gae Suwen is about to succeed his father as the head of the state affairs. And the position of the only heir of his Yuanbin lineage makes an outsider, a Central Plains Han threatened at all times.

This made Yuan Song, who had been proud of the Yuan family since he was a child, unable to accept it, and he wanted to prove to his grandfather that he was the descendant of the Yuan family and the only heir of the King of Liaodong.

When the Tang army came, Yuan Song had already found that the Tang army's guards in their granary were a little lax, but because of Yuan Binzhi's strong order, he endured and did not attack: now he knows that his most hostile opponent, because of his hesitation, he took the lead and fought a beautiful battle, it was precisely because of his hesitation that he missed the opportunity, let him lose a chance to prove that he was stronger than Hu Xiegu, and let the other party step on his head in vain......

He had long been aware of the flaws of the Tang Army, and it was not his hesitation that this victory should be his......

Unwilling, regretful and annoying......

After learning from the pain, Yuan Song found that he had too many concerns, and this concern made him miss a great opportunity, and letting go of his worries was a prerequisite for regaining the best of the game.

Yuan Song put down his grandfather's instructions, and his observation of Tang Jun was more detailed until one day...... (To be continued......)
