Chapter 73, Final Attack
When the Silla general learned that the army of Jo Zhao had retreated, he was ecstatic and released the Goguryeo general, who had been under house arrest, and told him that now that the Han army had retreated, he would be able to repel the enemy without the help of his beast troops, and that as long as he held on to this fortress, no enemy could attack him.
But the general of Goguryeo shook his head when he heard this, saying that the Han army had no reason to retreat like this, and the queen Quan Zhiyu came back with the Han army this time with the belief of regaining the throne, and now he is retreating so silently, it is really unusual, he reminded the Silla generals, don't take it lightly, the Han army has always been cunning, they Goguryeo have been fighting with the Han army over the years, and they have suffered a lot of losses, they seem to have retreated, but in fact they may be planning an attack.
The Silla general Qingwu Tulin laughed, and he didn't listen to the words of the Goguryeo generals, and said: "I see that you Goguryeo was beaten by the Han army, and the Central Plains saying that once you were bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope, this is what you are talking about now. Now the Han army has retreated, and they have dismantled their chariots and formed a tall chariot to be dedicated to our new king of Silla. I will bring this spoils back to Kyoto and present them to the king, and when the time comes, in the whole of Silla, who will be bigger than me except the king, hahaha! ”
The general of Goguryeo shook his head vigorously and said: "General, as an ally of Silla, it is necessary to remind you that you must be careful of the conspiracy of the Han army, and their chariot, I think it is a conspiracy. Just imagine, the Han army thinks that they are invincible in the world, and now they can't break through this Silla fortress, which has been a great blow to their fighting spirit, making them very faceless, how can they dismantle their chariots to make gifts to the king of Silla, this is definitely not in line with the character of the Han people, there must be tricks in this, the general must be careful. ”
Qingwu Tulin said coldly: "I think you are really scared by the Han army." This is also understandable, you have always thought that your Goguryeo beast army is invincible, but if you are defeated by the Han army so easily, your heart sect will naturally be afraid. But now I want to say that the dominance of the Han Dynasty is over, and the next time will be when we, the Silla people, will dominate the world, and I will definitely play the king, send troops to the Han River, and occupy their entire territory at that time, and then I Silla will be the largest country in the world. ”
The Goguryeo general smiled helplessly, and said secretly in his heart: "This guy seems to have arrived in the fourth phase, I have never seen a person so arrogant, it's not that I want to underestimate my own people, but the Han army era was very strong, although now they are constantly in civil strife, but they are still a very powerful existence, even if they give up not attacking Silla, if the foreign countries want to easily enter it, it is a fool's dream, it is absolutely impossible."
He persuaded a lot of people, but in the end, in exchange for all kinds of cynicism from Qingwu Tulin, and finally in desperation, he came out angrily. Qingwu Tulin didn't care, let the soldiers rest well, and tomorrow go with him to bring the spoils of war into the fortress.
Early the next morning, Qingwu Tulin led the army to the camp where the Zuzhao army had been stationed, and sure enough, he saw a tall chariot parked there, saying that this was a congratulatory gift from the Han army to the new king of Silla. Qingwu Tulin saw it, and couldn't help but be very happy in his heart, and sighed that the Han army's construction methods were indeed good, and they could build such a tall and complex chariot in such a short time, but although they had this chariot, they still couldn't break through the fortress here, but if this chariot was used in other battlefields, then the effect must be quite large, and the spoils of war would be dedicated to the new king, and his own credit would be greater, and he would be the second person in Silla at that time, and even, the king of Silla might have to obey him.
Qingwu Tulin ordered people to push this huge chariot into the fortress, and when they arrived at the gate of the car, the general of Goguryeo stopped them again, saying that this thing could not enter the fortress, he felt that there must be something strange in it, and it was not recommended to push the chariot into the fortress. But Qingwu Tulin turned a deaf ear to his words, and still ordered the soldiers to push the huge chariot into the fortress, seeing that the generals of Goguryeo still wanted to stop it, Qingwu Tulin was furious, and in the name of disturbing the morale of the army, he arrested the generals of Goguryeo and imprisoned them directly in Dalao.
After the huge chariot was brought into the fortress, all the soldiers and generals had to visit, and no one asked any questions, they all felt that it was a great trophy, saying that Qingwu Tulin was a great person, and if he could repel the Han army this time, then he could attack the Han army next time, and they seemed to have forgotten that the reason why the Han army retreated was not because they were afraid of them, but because the fortress was really not suitable for storming. Now that they have this trophy, their hearts are naturally full of fun, and they begin to flutter lightly unconsciously.
And the lightest of all this is the general Qingwu Tulin, he thought of the general who was seized by himself before, and actually thought that he would give up resistance for the sake of Quanzhiyu, and wanted to let the Han army go in like this. Fortunately, he and the generals of Goguryeo abolished the general and replaced the position of the general himself, otherwise he is now afraid that Silla is already the territory of the Han Dynasty.
In order to celebrate this victory, Qingwu Tulin let all the soldiers in the fortress be in a state of rest, but sent a few people to be on duty on the castle tower, and the others celebrated to their heart's content, drinking and dancing, Silla was too poor, meat was naturally not eaten, and wine was also very rare, but after Quan Zhiyu and Zu Zhao cooperated, they bought a lot of mare's milk wine in trade, and this slightly higher concentration wine was immediately loved by all wine lovers, especially those soldiers who were in strict battle, I like this kind of wine in my spare time, but I usually can't drink it, and if I make a mistake, it's a loss of my head.
But this night, the general let them enjoy themselves, and the soldiers also believed that the Han army had withdrawn, and even if they didn't push, with this fortress hungry protection, the Han army couldn't play any tricks, so they said that the heat was relaxed, and even the soldiers in charge of duty were holding wine bottles, drunk, and there was no appearance of soldiers defending the country at all.
Qingwu Tulin was happy in his heart, and naturally drank a lot. It was not until midnight that he returned to his house in a daze, dreaming of becoming the most powerful man in Silla, when suddenly there was a commotion outside, and the noise became more and more intense, which distressed him. He was about to get angry and call the guards to come, when suddenly one of the guards rushed in.
"If you don't report when you enter the door, do you want to lose your head?" Qingwu Tulin roared angrily.
The soldier hurriedly knelt down and said tremblingly: "General, it's not good, the enemy has attacked. ”
Qingwu Tulin was startled at first, although he smiled hehe, and said: "Are you drunk, how can the enemy attack you." Go and tell the soldiers outside not to make noise at my door, or I'll kill them all." ”
The guards spat at the tun, kowtowed, and said, "General, the enemy has indeed attacked in, and the people outside can't resist, and they have attacked outside the general's house, and the soldiers can't stop it." ”
"What are you kidding, how can they attack and come in, can't they fly in?" Qingwu Tulin slapped the table and roared loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the doors and windows were knocked away, and many soldiers flew in from the outside, some groaning and rolling on the ground and retreating, others standing still on the ground as if they were dead. A man wearing a Han army robe appeared at the door, and said loudly: "That's right, we flew in, general, you have no way out, obediently wait to accept your queen's punishment for you." ”
The person who spoke, it was really Zu Zhao, seeing the arrival of the Han army, Qingwu Tulin still looked incredulous, he thought he was dreaming, and shook his head vigorously, hoping to see the picture in front of him more clearly.
"Someone." He shouted, but no soldiers came, and Zu Zhao and others were still standing in front of him.
"You guys, are you really Han Jun?" Qingwu Tulin asked with some horror, at this time he already understood that the Han army was attacking.
"That's right, you're not dreaming, but we're coming in, and we're sorry to disturb your dreams." Zu Zhao said with a smile.
Qingwu Tulin looked at Zu Zhao in disbelief and asked, "How did you get in?" ”
Zu Zhao smiled: "As you said, we flew in, but not all of them flew in. ”
What the hell is going on, hasn't Zu Zhao's army already withdrawn, how could it suddenly appear in the fortress, what is the invention in it?
It turned out that when Zu Zhao asked Su De and others to draw the whole map of the fortress, he had already thought of a plan for how to attack the fortress, that is, to fly in. When he came to the gate of the fortress, he found that the fortress was built on the mountain, very strong and tall, it was almost impossible to storm it, and the mountains on both sides were high, all of them were steep cliffs, if you want to enter the fortress, except to enter through the city gate, then you can only step up to the top of the mountain and fly down. But there were no planes, no gliders, so how could you fly into the fortress? He suddenly thought of the Kong Ming lantern, using the Kong Ming lantern may be able to fly into the fortress, as long as the Kong Ming lantern is combined with the principle of the glider, it must be feasible, so they tried to make a Kong Ming lantern with the camp tent, and after trying it, they found that the effect was good. So he asked the soldiers to make Kong Ming lanterns for many camp tents, and finally made more than 20 of them.
As for his army, how did he order the army to retreat, silence in the mountains, and then install a few pairs of men and horses to slowly withdraw into the distance, creating a false impression for the Silla spies, and finally really confusing the Silla spies, making them think that the Han army had really retreated.
But Zu Zhao also realized that just these twenty or so people flew in, once they were discovered, then it would be a dead end, and there was nothing to do, if you want to capture the fortress, you must cooperate with the inside and outside, and let your army rush in after opening the city gate, but what should I do, the method I set up to fly down from a high altitude, although it is feasible, but I don't know where the landing place will be, maybe it will land at the gatekeeper's mouth, maybe it will land in a place that is surrounded by soldiers, Or landing in a place where you don't even know where you are.
After thinking about it, a flash of inspiration flashed in Zu Zhao's mind, and he suddenly thought of the story of the Trojan Horse, if he also copied one, then this matter would be like this. So he ordered most of the vehicles to be dismantled and then built a huge one. There were four or five chariots in the chariots, each of which could store a dozen people, and eventually there were forty or fifty elite troops in these two huge chariots, and when the time came, as long as the Silla people pushed the chariots into the fortress, because the houses inside were generally not high, it was very difficult to cross the block, so Qingwu Tulin parked the chariot at the gate of the city.
The people in the chariot had already signaled that Zu Zhao was getting better, as long as they heard the whistle, they immediately sneaked down from the car, and then eliminated the Silla soldiers guarding the city gate, and after opening the city gate, let Zu Zhao's army come in, and those who gave them the signal were naturally the people who landed in the fortress on the Kong Ming Lantern plane. In this case, the people in the fortress would not have expected that the city would be full of enemies, and they would not know how many enemies there were, nor where they would come from, so they would have panicked, and what kind of combat power would they have.
Zu Zhao, Zhang Yuan, Ma Yuan, and the rest of the dozen or so capable lieutenants entered the city on Kong Ming lanterns. They first took the lantern to the top of the mountain, then lit the lantern, and after constantly controlling the lantern and the hand-pulled rope specially set up by Zu Zhao like a glider, the lantern could land smoothly in the fortress of Silla. Since the city was not very well guarded, their landing did not attract the attention of the patrol soldiers, and some people noticed them when they were high, but they had never seen this thing, and they thought that it was some magical thing flying in the sky. After watching for a while, the lights went out when the position was lowered, and they couldn't see.
Zu Zhao and the others landed almost in close proximity, and after landing, they used a code to know each other's location, and everyone gathered around Zu Zhao, waiting for Zu Zhao's instructions. After the assembly, Zu Zhao instructed everyone to hold torches and light fires in all directions of the city, in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, to ensure that the fire was controlled, and the entire city could not be burned, which was an important city defense built by Silla to resist foreign enemies, and he would also build his own base in Silla in the future, and if the general trend of the world was indeed unfavorable to him, he would also have a place to go.
In the end, he promised to do nothing to burn and loot in Silla, and if the first fortress city burned people, it would be discredited. All the generals said that they would light the fire in a place where it could be controlled, so as not to set the entire city on fire.
After arranging the roar, they each acted separately, while Zu Zhao took Zhang Yuan, grabbed a patrolling soldier, and went straight to the location of General Silla. When they arrived at the location of the chariot, they used a code to tell the soldiers inside that they could come out. So, dozens of people in the chariot immediately came out of the chariot, quickly controlled the soldiers defending the city, opened the city gate, and the army that was waiting outside saw the city gate open, and rushed in directly.
And at this time, the Silla soldiers in the fortress city were still busy fighting fires everywhere, no one thought that the Zu Zhao army would appear beside them like a descend from the sky, and everyone surrendered without the slightest resistance, they knew that resistance at this time was in vain, just to die.
However, Zu Zhao was still resisted, that is, Qingwu Tulin's cronies were still vigilant, and when they saw the Han army rushing in, they naturally wanted to protect their general, but unfortunately there was too much disparity in numbers, and the combat effectiveness was completely inferior to Zu Zhao's men, and soon, Qingwu Tulin's guards were all subdued. The soldier who fled in to report to Qingwu Tulin, before the report was finished, Zu Zhao had already rushed in and caught Qingwu Tulin.
In this strange battle, Zu Zhao assaulted the fortress at lightning speed, and the important thing is that he combined the tactics of airborne and fake throwing to the real car, and perfectly used the tactics of the Trojan horse to make this raid successful. Of course, this is also thanks to the cooperation of Qingwu Tulin, if he is not arrogant, does not take the slightest precautions, and does not have doubts about the huge chariot, just relying on Zu Zhao to take a few people to parachute, there is no certainty of victory. No matter how powerful their force is, they can't resist the interception of thousands of troops.
However, now, they have finally won, and they have won unusually beautifully, and the next thing is to wait for how Queen Quan Zhiyu will lecture the Silla soldiers and how to deal with this Qingwu Turin, who took advantage of the chaos to seize power and colluded with foreign parties to kill the general.
When Qingwu Tulin was caught by Zu Zhao's people, he still looked at Zu Zhao and them in disbelief, and kept saying that this is impossible, this fortress has the highest city wall in the world and has a unique geographical location, how could Zu Zhao's army enter, is it really as Zu Zhao said, they all flew in, how is this possible, it is completely unbelievable.
It wasn't until Quan Zhiyu appeared that he stopped roaring. Seeing Quan Zhiyu's sharp gaze, Qingwu Tulin knelt down and begged for mercy from Quan Zhiyu, saying that he did this for the sake of the territory of Silla, and everyone in Silla thought that Quan Zhiyu had defected to the Han Dynasty and was a sinner of Silla, and seeing her was seeing the enemy.
But Jeon Zhiyu was furious, and asked why did he kill the general and seize power even if you yourself were the enemy of Silla, which is to jump into chaos and deserve death punishment. Hearing the word death, Qingwu Tulin's face turned pale in an instant, and he lost the slightest color
