For the soldiers of the Han army, who were already exhausted, the day and night march was a more difficult test, and it was foreseeable that before the army arrived at its destination, many good men would fall in the ice and snow and never return to their hometowns, and sometimes sacrifice was inevitable for the sake of the country and the nation

The soldiers did not rest for a long time, and at the fourth watch, the horn of assembly sounded in the wilderness, there was no money, the reward of beautiful women, as youhuo, there were no impassioned words as encouragement, and there was not even a simple mobilization, and there was no one to speak along the way, and everyone only knew to move forward, forward, and forward along the frozen river

The four days of sleepless and rapid marching made everyone's jīng gods almost collapse, but the vast majority of people still persevered, and when they saw the slightly hazy walls of Huaiyuan City in the morning light, many people couldn't hold it back, and let out a low roar deep in their throats, they originally wanted to cheer, but they were afraid of revealing their whereabouts, so they forcibly suppressed their joy, resulting in that strange sound

Jiaoli raised his horsewhip and pointed ahead: "General Wen ordered the siege of the city"

Wen Hao handed over the clairing mirror in his hand and said in a deep voice: "You can't imagine that the Goryeo people's defenses are so strong, I'm afraid it's not easy to attack."

The clairvoyant mirror is naturally Liu Ziqiu's "invention", but the lenses used are all made of crystal, the price is very expensive, and the jīng degree is difficult to control, and the distance that can be observed by each clairvoyant mirror is also very different, but in any case, with the clairvoyant mirror, it is much more convenient for both marching and combat

Through the Qianli Mirror, Li Yan clearly saw that there were hundreds of guards standing on the wall of the east gate of Huaiyuan, these guards did not stand there all the time, but walked back and forth on the city wall, looking outside the city from time to time, the weather was extremely cold, and the outside of the east gate was connected to the territory of Goryeo, and so many guards were actually arranged, and it was indeed possible to imagine how well guarded the entire Huaiyuan City was

Jiao Liyan moved the clairvoyant mirror down slightly, and the scene of the south gate of Huaiyuan City appeared in the lens, and now the time to open the city gate has long passed, the south gate is still closed, the drawbridge is hanging high, and there is silence outside the city, of course, this is also a very normal situation, after all, there are no ordinary residents in the city, only the Goryeo army that occupies the city is left, and it doesn't matter if the city gate is opened

Put down the corner of the Qianli Mirror, Li Yan thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "General Wen, the moat has been frozen, even if they pull up the drawbridge, it doesn't matter, why don't we wave our troops to kill them, as long as they open the city gate, they will be turtles in the urn."

Wen Hao waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty has already explained that the Koreans are very cunning, and they must not be taken lightly, and the soldiers are ordered to rest in place and observe for a while."

At this time, there was a sudden movement in the direction of Huaiyuan City, and the defenders at the head of the city looked towards the city gate, and the suspension bridge at the head of the city was slowly lowered, Wen Hao hurriedly grabbed the clairvoyant mirror, but did not see any unusual movement outside the city gate, Wen Hao was surprised, and saw that the south gate of Huaiyuan had been pushed to both sides, and a team of cavalry rode out and rushed towards the wilderness

Jiao Liyan was also surprised: "Could it be that they found out that our people are too bold, and even those two or three thousand people dare to come and fight us?"

Wen Hao shook his head while staring at the movement of the Goryeo cavalry who rushed out of the city: "It's impossible, they don't have the clairvoyant mirror given by His Majesty, it's impossible to find us at such a distance, they must have other purposes when they go out of the city at this moment, but looking at their direction, they are coming to our side, let the brothers hide themselves."

The Goryeo cavalry came quickly, even without clairvoyance, they could already see their figures, the horses' hooves rolled up with snowflakes, the Goryeo cavalry let out a strange scream, waved the bow in his hand, and the target was actually a small forest near Wen Hao's hiding place, at the beginning, Wen Hao also wanted to push the army into the trees, and later, considering that the cavalry was not easy to maneuver in the woods, he changed his mind, but he never expected that the Goryeo cavalry would actually rush to the woods, before this, Wen Hao had sent troops into the trees to search, except for some birds and beasts, and did not find anything special

"It's not good," Jiao Liyan suddenly realized, "The brothers must have left horseshoe prints when they went into the forest just now."

This is an inaccessible wilderness, a large number of horseshoe prints suddenly appeared in the wilderness, and it will definitely attract the attention of the Goryeo cavalry, once the whereabouts are leaked, there is only one way to deal with Huaiyuan City, Wen Hao also took the opportunity to make a decision, gritted his teeth and said: "Tell the brothers to quietly surround the woods, as long as they enter, no one is allowed to escape."

There is still some distance from Huaiyuan City, without the help of the clairvoyant mirror, the situation here should not be visible from the city, so Wen Hao decided to take a risk

Soon the cavalry appeared outside the woods, they did not rush into the woods, but formed a fan outside the woods, and loudly agitated, alarming a large group of birds and beasts in the forest, Wen Hao and Jiao Liyan looked at each other, and finally understood that these guys were out of the city to hunt, let them make a false alarm, even so, Wen Hao did not intend to let them go, and annihilated these two or three thousand people, which could not only weaken the strength of the guards in the city, but also pry out some secrets of the city from their mouths

The Goryeo cavalry was agitated outside the woods for a long time, and finally let out a shout and rushed in, and for a time feathers and arrows flew everywhere

At this moment, the nomadic cavalry of the Han army ambushed outside the woods also moved, the same as the nomadic cavalry of the Han army, the skills of the nomadic cavalry of the Han army were much higher than those of the Goryeo cavalry, and they were prepared and unprepared, and after a round of random arrows, the Goryeo cavalry that rushed into the woods had been killed and wounded, and most of the remaining hundreds of Goryeo cavalry fled in the direction of Huaiyuan City in panic, but the Han cavalry who had been prepared for a long time would not allow them to escape, and in a blink of an eye, they killed more than 200 people, and the surviving more than 200 people were also surrounded by groups, and there was no possibility of escape

The surrounded Goryeo cavalry shouted desperately to attract the attention of the defenders of Huaiyuan City, but the distance was too far, and the northwest wind was blowing outside, and the woods were downwind of Huaiyuan City, no matter how loud they shouted, and when they returned to Huaiyuan City, they would only be as small as mosquitoes humming, and they could not attract the attention of the defenders at all

Wen Hao rode forward and said in a deep voice: "Put down the weapon, Rao'er and wait for a way to live."

Every year, a large number of Goryeo maids are trafficked to the Central Plains, so many people in the Central Plains can speak Goryeo, Wen Hao naturally has a special interpreter around him, someone has already translated these words, the group of Goryeo cavalry suddenly became excited, and shouted loudly, obviously very resistant to Wen Hao's order to surrender, Wen Hao didn't say a word, raised the bow is an arrow, shè went to the middle of the most fierce officer, the guy's forehead, wolf tooth arrow, shè from the forehead, penetrated the back of the head, this arrow was too powerful, nailed the officer to the ground, and the rest of the Goryeo soldiers were shocked for a while, and suddenly fell silent

Wen Hao shouted again: "Those who descend will not be killed"

This time, several Goryeo soldiers couldn't bear the pressure, and threw down their weapons and knelt down in the snow to surrender, and surrendering would also infect more and more people who abandoned their weapons and dismounted, but there were also a few who were still obsessed and wanted to make a last fight, and the result was naturally a hedgehog without exception

After a little interrogation, those captives poured beans into a bamboo tube, and what surprised Wen Hao was that a small Huaiyuan city actually had 50,000 Goryeo troops stationed, and if these nomadic cavalry who were not good at attacking fortifications wanted to storm a city guarded by 50,000 troops, even if they could capture it, more than half of the casualties would be lost, and according to the information obtained before the chūn festival, there should only be 10,000 Goryeo troops in Huaiyuan City, so Liu Ziqiu would make such a deployment, and even Jiao Liyan, who had been leaping yù to advocate a strong attack, hesitated: "General Wen still can't fight." ”

With the equipment and strength they have now, it is impossible to conquer a city guarded by 50,000 people, Wen Hao couldn't help frowning, gritted his teeth, and said: "Let me be tried again, I want to know why the Koreans suddenly increased so many defenders."

The guys who surrendered are all soft bones, and once asked, they said everything, it turned out that the Goryeo people had other plans, they did send a lot of jiān in the Han Dynasty, and they also heard the news that the Han would use troops against Goryeo after opening the chūn, with the strength of the Han Dynasty, it was naturally not something that Goryeo could compete with, but the ambitious Goryeo people wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters, they knew the habits of the Han people, the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, at this time, the sneak attack on the Han army's baggage team may have a good harvest, they did not have much interest in food, the most wanted to get some jīng good equipment of the Han army, in order to deal with the Han army's baggage troops, the king of Goryeo specially sent from the rearA large number of troops

However, 50,000 people gathered in Huaiyuan City, where there were no ordinary residents, eating some rough food every day, how uncomfortable and uncomfortable it was, and because of this, these people would be sent out to hunt, just to improve their food, but they didn't expect to run into an ambush of the Han army

Although more than 2,000 Goryeo cavalry were eliminated, it was really not worth mentioning compared to the 50,000 troops in the city, how to capture Huaiyuan City in the remaining day was a difficult problem that could hardly be completed in front of Wen Hao, Wen Hao couldn't help but walk around in front of the woods with his hands behind his back, and he couldn't make up his mind to attack

Jiao Liyan also looked in the direction of Huaiyuan City, sighed and said hatefully: "If these guys don't shrink in the city, they can pinch them to death with one finger."

This sentence suddenly woke Wen Hao up, and he waved his hand violently: "Then transfer them out and fight"
