Volume 1: Who Breaks Through the Void by the Stars Chapter 230 Snow and Fire Win and Lose Two Heavens
It was finally dawning.
Gao Yincheng, who had only slept for half a night in a daze, was awakened by the exclamations outside the camp, and after he got up from the felt carpet, he was furious: "There is no noise in the army, can't you keep this rule?" ”
The pro-soldiers outside came in, and their faces were different: "Ke Luoda, it's those Lou Xiao's subordinates who are making noise." ”
Koroda is also an official position of the former Goguryeo Dynasty, which is equivalent to a long history. Gao Yincheng muttered, these tribal chiefs are really muddy and can't get on the wall. Then he asked, "Why the noise?" ”
"The Tang people's side...... An ice track was built. The pro-soldier's face was terrified.
"Ice Road?" Gao Yincheng didn't know what to do, but seeing was believing, and he didn't bother to ask, so after getting dressed, he left the camp and came to the front of Weizi Village.
Then his mouth was wide open, and he couldn't close it for a while.
Overnight, at least 100 steps of the 200-step mountain trail became ice trails
The Tang people in the village last night were afraid that they didn't stop pouring water down, because the water was not big, so they slowly soaked down the mountain road. The weather is cold, and the water freezes into ice before it can flow down the mountain, forming two ice paths
With such an ice road, people can't stand steadily, let alone go up to attack.
"The Tang people are cunning and treacherous, as always" A Goguryeo general was shocked and angry: "What kind of attack is this, do you have to wait until the weather is clear and the ice melts?" ”
Gao Yincheng glanced at this guy dissatisfied, this was obviously a blow to the morale of his own side
He was about to say something, when he suddenly saw a guard leading a person to hurry over, Gao Yincheng frowned, and when he saw that the guard made a gesture, he was overjoyed.
"Hugh is going to make a fuss, go to the big tent of the Chinese army, and hold a military meeting," he snorted, and walked over there.
It was Zhang Quanzhun who was brought.
His face was full of flattery, and he bowed to Gao Yincheng: "Keroda is above, the villain will meet you"
"You are Zhang Quanzhun, although it is the first time we have met, the old man has already heard of you. In the town of Duli, you are the first to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and want to serve the Lord. Gao Yincheng said in a gentle voice: "This initiative will naturally not be forgotten...... What's new about you? ”
"The villain's small merits can even enter the ears of Ke Luoda" Zhang Quanzhun said respectfully: "The villain escaped by stealing, as far as the villain knows, yesterday Ye Chang and Nan Jiyun led the main force of the Tang people, and they have been pulled out overnight, presumably in Weizi Village at this time."
"Oh?" Gao Yincheng's eyes narrowed when he heard this: "You tell the old man about the situation in detail."
Zhang Quanzhun told what he saw and heard, and Gao Yincheng nodded secretly when he heard this, which corresponded to the current situation in Weizi Village.
It was Ye Chang, who was known for his treachery, that he was frustrated twice during the day and at night: these two battles did not hurt the Tang people in the village at all, but they lost more than 100 people.
"In this way, there should be more than 1,500 people guarding the village, but why did you only see two or three hundred people yesterday?" Gao Bong asked suspiciously.
"Hide yourself and don't let our army know their true strength." Gao Yincheng sneered twice: "This Tang State dog official is really cunning"
When he got the news, he asked Zhang Quanzhun to be placed, and then strode to the Chinese army's tent.
At this time, the generals and chieftains of all the departments had already gathered in it, and they were talking one by one, and when they saw Gao Yin Chengda walking inside, some people couldn't wait to ask: "Ke Luoda, what should we do now, with that ice road, we can't attack it at all."
"Do you have to wait until it's sunny?"
"Even if it's a sunny day, the ice road may not melt"
"The Tang people are really treacherous, I have long heard that the dog official sent by the Tang people this time is treacherous, first deceived the capital, and then deceived the people, and only such traitors can come up with such a treacherous plan"
Everyone was talking, and later it turned into a curse for Ye Chang, Gao Yincheng frowned: "Shut up"
Everyone quieted down, and some chiefs were still not convinced, staring at what Gao Yincheng could say.
"If swearing can kill that traitor, I will scold you more fiercely" Gao Yin Cheng said: "What is there to fear about the ice road, I will say that there are ten ways to break it"
"Huh?"
"Will it take a long time to cover it with earth and sand and carve out a road? Do you still need to be afraid of slippery grass when cutting grass and laying it on it? Gao Yincheng said dissatisfiedly: "You are thinking too shallowly, but this ice road has helped us a lot."
"What?"
"The ice road stopped us, and also stopped the Tang people in the village, they can't go out of the village to attack and disturb, so they can only shrink in the village like a turtle" Gao Yin Cheng said: "I only need to leave a thousand people here to confront it, block the way he came out, and the rest of the people, bypass the Weizi Village, and attack the capital directly."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Indeed, Weizi Village is a solid stone in front of the army, but it does not mean that they have to kick out Weizi Village to move forward, they wanted to attack Weizi Village before, it is nothing more than that they are afraid of being attacked by the enemy when they go to attack the capital, and they are also afraid that Weizi Village will cut off their logistical supplies. But in this way, this ice road, while preventing the Goguryeo people from attacking the village, also blocked the attack of the Weizi people, and the Beisha army only needs to arrange a small number of men to defend here.
"I would like to seal the Tang people in the stockade here," the general said loudly.
Among the rest of the generals also stood up to ask for their lives, and some remained silent. Everyone is weighing in their hearts, there will be casualties in attacking the capital, but the harvest of looting will be greater. Therefore, when everyone figured this out, they began to fight, and those who wanted wealth clamored to go to the capital, and those who wanted to preserve their strength clamored to stay.
"Quiet" Gao Yincheng stopped everyone, his face was very ugly: "What is the difference between such a noise and a rabble?" ”
He pondered in his heart that the purpose of this trip to weaken the various departments had not been fully achieved, so he ordered a few people, left the three more than 1,000 people who were defeated and damaged yesterday here, and took the remaining 1,600 soldiers and horses to rush to the capital.
At this point, he was stunned to realize that he had lost more than 300 people yesterday night, nearly one-tenth. Not all of these people were killed, only a hundred people were killed, mainly the six Polish and Korean tribes, but the wounded exceeded 200.
However, he didn't care too much, according to the information brought by Zhang Quanzhun, there were only less than 500 people left in the capital, and all of them were militiamen, using bamboo guns and whistle sticks as weapons, and there were not even a few decent bows. What's more, more than a dozen of these 500 people were Goguryeo Neiying, and when his army arrived, these people would open the door to greet them.
At this time, the sky was gloomy, and he was not far away, and his camp was far away from Weizi Village, so he was sure that the people in the village could not see the movement of his army. In order to be more realistic, he also explained that many flags of the troops left behind were dusting back and forth, making a noisy feeling
"Ladies and gentlemen, after I pacify the capital, this Weizi village will collapse without a fight." When he left the camp, he said with a smile: "As long as you can block the Tang army in the village and prevent it from returning to help, it will be the first merit, and there will be a generous reward."
The remaining subordinates were also immediately happy.
Weizi Village is only a few dozen miles away from Duli, they are light and rushed, as long as one day to arrive, and there is also Zhang Quanzhun as a guide, take some small roads, and even take a shorter time. However, because of the proximity, Gao Yincheng was still cautious, and rested for a while every ten miles of march on the way, and when he arrived more than ten miles away from the capital in the evening, he ordered the whole army to rest in a place where he was looking for shelter.
While resting, he did not relax his vigilance, and sent out many open posts and secret sentinels. Now that he has the winning position, it would be too tragic to let himself lose because of carelessness.
In the early hours of the morning, as soon as the sky was hazy, Gao Yincheng ordered the whole army to make rice, and after eating enough, he ordered: "Go to the capital for dinner today"
Everyone cheered forward, Zhang Quanzhun followed him, and after walking out of Lixu, he pointed to the small hill in front of him and said: "Keluoda, after this mountain pass, you can see the capital, if the Tang people want to intercept it, they will fortify this mountain pass." I haven't seen it now, and I think that the Tang people know that their troops are insufficient, so they only dare to cage soldiers to defend the city. ”
"There are many cages to defend the city, wasn't the wall of Duli Town broken by the Tang people a long time ago?" Gao Yincheng said with a smile: "Zhang Quanzhun, after this victory, maybe you can also get an official position, maybe it is Duli Lou Xiao?" ”
Zhang Quanzhun's small eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile: "Don't dare, don't dare ......"
While laughing, Gao Yincheng's expression suddenly changed, and almost at the same time, a drum sounded, then two and three sounds, and a series of drums sounded from the mountains on both sides of the pass.
"No" Gao Yincheng heard the drums, and realized that it was wrong, if there were really only a few hundred militias left in Duli and Lushun, how could they dare to come out to meet them?
"Bluffing?"
The shouts of killing on both sides and the screams of their own soldiers were clearly not bluffs, and the stones and trees rolling down from the forests and the feathered arrows on the mountains on both sides were clearly not bluffs
"Scheme" Gao Yincheng understood, and then heard someone laughing over there: "Gao Yincheng, since he has been tricked, he still doesn't kneel down, when will he stay?" ”
This was not the voice of one person, but the shouting of dozens or hundreds of people in unison, and the other party not only had an ambush, but even his name was clearly known
Gao Yincheng looked at Zhang Quanzhun again, Zhang Quanzhun still had a smile on his face, and the smile was very dazzling. Gao Yincheng drew his knife and slashed, Zhang Quanzhun's first performance flew out, and blood sprayed all over the sky
"Shaft, dog slave, actually working for the Tang people" Gao Yincheng scolded hatefully, and then puffed up his eyes and raised his knife: "Rush up and take the mountain"
Regardless of whether Zhang Quanzhun really works for the Tang people or not, he is ready to cut and vent his anger, and even the battle has not been smooth in the past few days, Gao Yincheng is indifferent on his face, but he is also holding back the fire in his heart.
At this point, he was angry, but he had not yet lost faith in himself.
The peak between the mountain passes is not high, and there are not too many Tang troops hidden on it, so Gao Yincheng feels that he can reverse the current situation. In the face of absolute strength, it is a conspiracy, so what
Ye Chang looked at this side on the mountain, smacked his tongue, and felt a little sorry in his heart. These Goguryeo people are really tough, and they originally thought that they would panic for a while when they were attacked by this sudden attack. Unexpectedly, the Goguryeo main general, Gao Yincheng, still has some skills.
"Raise the Fire"
If possible, he really didn't want to set fire, although it snowed a little, but it didn't accumulate, and once the fire was released, even the mountains and forests were afraid to be finished.
Fortunately, a piece of isolation belt was cut out in advance, so there would not be much loss.
Fireballs rolled down the mountain, Gao Yincheng saw this situation, his expression finally changed, water and fire were ruthless, in this unfavorable terrain, the fireballs could roll down the mountain road, but it was very difficult for his subordinates to dodge
"Withdraw" Although he was reluctant in his heart, he still gave this order.
He could withdraw these, but those who crossed the mountain pass first couldn't retreat, the mountain pass was blocked by rolling logs and stones, and Gao Yincheng could only hear the shouts of the battle over there, as well as the sound of blade collision and death wails. He looked back and found that there were about 500 people who had entered the mountain pass, which already accounted for one-third of his army, and some of the generals he relied on, such as Gao Feng and others, were all counted
Can't help but save
Although he was secretly praying that the Tang people did not have the strength to eat the five hundred armor soldiers, he knew in his heart that he had been restrained everywhere since the war, and he was afraid that the Tang people really had the strength to eliminate the five hundred armor soldiers If according to the news he got before, there were indeed not many Tang armor soldiers, but now Gao Yincheng no longer dared to believe the authenticity of those news.
"Gao Feng is brave and loyal, and he will be able to hold on." He turned his head and looked around: "Come with me, go around this mountain, and go to pick it up"
The mountain north of the capital is called Phoenix Mountain by the local Han people, which is not very dangerous, and Gao Yincheng estimates that it is nearly ten miles more than a detour. But in this way, you have to deviate from the main road, go over the mountains, and the horses or something, you can only lead forward.
He finally bypassed the fire after a lot of hard work, and it took an hour of hard work before and after, but when he crossed Phoenix Mountain, he found that there was already silence on the opposite side
Gao Yincheng was terrified in his heart, and he could no longer maintain his composure: Five hundred armor soldiers, could it be that they were wiped out by the Tang people like this?
Then he saw that above the southern plains, the Tang army was facing them in a neat array.
The Tang army may have numbered two thousand, perhaps even more, and their equipment was not only whistle sticks and bamboo guns as the intelligence said, but on the contrary, rows of iron spears and steel knives were reflecting the cold light of the snow. The Tang people were divided into three parts, and at the front of the middle was a row of armor soldiers, and the number was at least three hundred
300 armor soldiers, 2,000 light soldiers...... It is not impossible to destroy the 500 armor soldiers of Beisha City, and it is not impossible to lose the command of the Goguryeo army, which is in chaos. Gao Yincheng still had a trace of luck, and he was already desperate at the moment.
Then he saw the corpses that had been discarded aside, those stripped naked, obviously not from the Tang people.
Before Gao Yincheng could recover from his grief and shock, he heard the sound of the Tang Army drum, and the three hundred armor soldiers shouted loudly and walked forward.
Gao Yincheng was a little hesitant in his heart, whether to continue to fight with the Tang army, but before he could make a decision, several clan chiefs around him had already turned around and ran, and even their own soldiers also turned around and fled
If they were to fight a good battle and grab floating wealth, these guys would definitely not be left behind, but now the situation between the two sides has changed, and they have just lost the most elite 500 people, these people have broken their courage, where are they willing to fight to the death
