Although the night attack is a good strategy to win by surprise, however, the newly defeated army is not brave, and the siege equipment is not ready, there is only a ladder now, the head of the black bone city is brightly lit, and there are a lot of bonfires under the city, it is difficult to find a sneak attack, the generals in order to capture the black bone city, have already privately deduced the possibilities several times, but they can not find the slightest trick, at this time Li Daliang coldly asked the big guy if he has confidence, who dares to make wild words is strange, so, big guy, you look at me, I look at you, There is really nothing to say, but it is not a way to be so silent, and at the end of the day, the general Chang He stood up and said: "General, but has His Royal Highness the Prince's army arrived?" ”

As soon as Chang He said this, all the generals who were full of accounts came to the spirit, and all of them focused on Li Daliang's body with eager eyes, but unfortunately the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, but seeing Li Daliang smiled and shook his head and said: "Your Highness's army is still under the city of Anshi." (.. com)”

"Doom ......" As soon as he heard that the prince's army had not yet arrived, Chang He was immediately dumbfounded, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and blushed, he really didn't know what to say - the black bone city was built between two mountain cliffs, and there were two city gates in the south and west, Li Daliang's department killed all the way from the direction of the Yalu River, and could only threaten the city wall in the south, but because of the mountain situation, it was impossible to climb over the continuous mountains and attack back and forth, which made the defenders of the Black Bone City concentrate on defending the south, in terms of the strength of the Tang army at this time, even if the siege equipment was complete, The probability of taking the Black Bone City will never be higher than two percent, and if one is not careful, it may not be possible to sink the halberd under the city, in such a situation, not to mention the generals below, even Chang He, who is the deputy marshal, does not have the slightest confidence.

Seeing that the morale of the generals under the tent was not high, Li Daliang did not explain much, but just smiled and puffed his palms, and said, "Lift it up!" As soon as these words came out, a group of soldiers carried a large sand table to the center of the big tent, and the generals looked at it and recognized that the terrain of this sand table was a miniature black bone city, but no one knew what Li Daliang's intention was, and they couldn't help but whisper about it, and for a time the sound of buzzing in the big tent of the Chinese army was endless.

"Mr. Kim, you can get started, please." Li Daliang did not interfere with the generals' discussions, but looked at Jin Jiu, who was standing silently on the side, with a smile on his face, and gave a very polite order.

"Yes, I obey the order." Li Daliang was polite, that was in the face of His Royal Highness the Prince, Jin Jiu didn't dare to hold it up, hurriedly stood up, bowed respectfully and agreed, and after Li Daliang nodded his head, he walked unhurriedly to the sand table, looked around at the generals who were talking in a low voice, cleared his throat, attracted the attention of the generals, and then pointed to the sand table and said loudly: "Generals, this sand table is the topography of the black bone city, this city is built according to the mountain cliff, divided into two mouths in the south and west, and the south entrance city wall is two hundred and twenty zhang wide, The west entrance is one hundred and seventy-eight zhang wide, all are divided into three layers and set up, and all have the inner city wall, between the inner and outer city walls is the urn city, can be stationed in thousands, there is a horse running avenue in the central axis of the city, through the front and back, there are five horizontal streets to communicate two mountains, the left side of the mountain is named Qishan, more than 500 zhang high, there is a mountain name Lin Mountain on the right, nearly 500 zhang high, all are steep and unclimbable, attack the inside from the outside, it is not impossible to pull out the ......"

"It's a matter of saying this, I'm already familiar with this situation, so why bother to talk about it." Chang He was short-tempered, and listened to Jin Jiu say that he had been analyzing the solidity of the black-bone city defense for a long time, and his heart was the impatience of the boss, and he had seen that Jin Jiu was not very pleasing to the eye earlier, so he couldn't help but interrupt Jin Jiu's words at this time.

Chang He's move was quite rude, but Jin Jiu didn't express much dissatisfaction, smiled slightly, and bowed his hand and said: "What General Chang said is very true, it is a certain noise and has been taught. ”

"Hmph." As soon as he saw Jin Jiu talking like this, Chang He didn't want to say anything more, snorted coldly, and then closed his mouth, don't turn his head, and don't look at Jin Jiu's face.

Jin Jiu waited for a while, and saw that Chang He no longer spoke, so he turned back to the side, pointed to the sand table and continued: "Generals, the black bone city is steep, attacking the inside from the outside, even if it can be attacked, it will be lost by the public, fortunately, there is a secret road that can lead to the city, and the exit is located in a large house near the inner city gate. ”

"Is that so?"

"How is this possible?"

"No, how can there be such a coincidence?"

……

As soon as Jin Jiu's words fell, the generals were shocked, and they all shouted in surprise and joy, and no one could hear who was talking clearly.

Li Daliang couldn't help laughing when he saw the chaos in the tent, applauded, stopped everyone's discussion, stretched out his hand and twisted the long beard on his chest, and said with a smile: "This matter is true, the old man has sent someone to follow Mr. Jin through a few days ago, and he can indeed get to the city, but there is still a difficulty." When Li Daliang said this, he stopped, looked around at the generals, frowned slightly, and said: "This dark passage is narrow, the cavalry cannot pass, and the maximum number of people who can enter the city by means of the road is 1,000 infantry, although there are still some internal manpower in the city, however, it is not easy to take advantage of the chaos to open the inner and outer gates, who dares to go to it?" ”

"General, the last general asks for an attack."

"General, the last general is willing to go!"

As soon as Li Daliang's words fell, two generals under his tent stood up almost at the same time, one was Zhang Wengan, the head of the Pyongyang Provincial March, and the other was Pang Xiaotai, the general of the Right Xiaowei. These two are brave generals, whoever leads the troops can go, and the partial life is standing up at the same time to ask for his life, but Li Daliang is not good to make a decision for a while, and he is hesitating, but he saw Chang He flashed out, and said loudly: "General, this battle is not trivial, once there is a mistake, it will delay the fighter, and the last general is not talented, I am willing to personally lead the troops to attack, and I implore the general for permission." ”

Although Chang He has a violent temper, he is a good hand at fighting, don't look at the age, but he has not put down his martial arts, and he is the deputy commander of the whole army, he asked himself to lead his troops to go, Li Daliang is not easy to stop, but Li Daliang is a little worried about the cooperation between Chang He and Jin Jiu, and after muttering for a while, he said: "It's okay, since General Chang is going, remember one thing, you must obey Mr. Jin's arrangement, if so, the old man will go." ”

Chang He wanted to fight this battle, and he would not refute Li Daliang's opinion at this time, so he smiled and said: "The last general knows the seriousness of the matter, please rest assured." ”

"Well, that's fine." Li Daliang knew Chang He's temperament, and when he saw his promise, he didn't dwell on the matter anymore, and suddenly got up, and patted the copywriter and said: "The generals will listen to the order!" ”

"The end will be waiting!" When the generals heard this, they all flashed out and bowed in response.

"You and others will return to the headquarters, restrain the soldiers and horses, sneak out of the camp with the general at the third watch, wait for the chaos in the city, immediately launch, attack inside and outside, and take this city, there must be no mistake!" Li Daliang paused, his eyes roamed around the generals, and he gave the battle order with a solemn face.

"No!" The generals agreed in unison, bowed down and retreated, and went to arrange relevant matters without mentioning them.

Night finally fell, the defenders at the head of the city lit torches, bonfires and other things, illuminating the city and the city down, on the other hand, the Tang army was dim, although there were also some torches and lanterns and other lighting things, but the silence of the camp made the Tang army look lifeless, but it coincided with the frustration of the Tang army today, which made the defenders at the head of the city feel extraordinarily relieved, and gathered together with a smile, pointing at the Tang camp to laugh non-stop, and the noise was heard clearly by the Tang officers and soldiers who were three miles away, However, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army did not pay attention to it, but silently prepared for war nervously in the dark.

Time flies quickly, in a blink of an eye, it is the right time, it is the dead of night, the defenders at the head of the city have already been tired, under the silence, only the crackling sound of the bonfire burning echoes in the quiet night, Li Daliang, who is dressed in armor, led a group of generals to stride out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and walked to the front of a thousand soldiers who had been waiting in the back camp, took a large bowl full of wine from the hands of the guards around him, raised it to the soldiers, and said calmly: "The warriors of the Tang Dynasty, this battle is dangerous, and you are all heroes of the Tang Dynasty, The old man used a bowl of spirits to wish you a victory, come, do it! As soon as the words fell, he raised his head, drank the whole bowl of liquor in one go, and then threw it to the ground, looking at the soldiers with blazing eyes.

This battle is a lone army deep into the fortified city, except for the death battle to survive, there is no other way out, this thousand warriors are selected from the army, everyone has the pride of seeing death as home, at this time seeing Li Daliang say this, he is full of pride, each holding the wine bowl in his hand, drinking it all in one go, and the sound of the sea bowl on the ground sounded on the spot.

"Let's go!" After the army finished drinking, Li Daliang nodded as a sign of appreciation, and did not say anything more, waving his hand and snorting. As soon as this order was given, all the officers and soldiers took out a bamboo chopstick from their arms, held it with their mouths, turned to the right in unison, and silently walked out of the rear camp, under the leadership of Jin Jiu, they walked towards Qishan, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

Jin Jiu is a master in the "Rising Sun", following Li Zhen's instructions to come to the Black Bone City to lurk for several years, on weekdays as a traveling merchant and hawker as a disguise, often going back and forth in the city and countryside, the terrain around the Black Bone City has long been well understood, walking in the dark as freely, but as agile as day, leading the army all the way to sneak, turned to a small ancient tomb at the foot of Qishan, stretched out his hand on the tombstone and pressed it left and right for a while, but heard a slight sound of machine springs, The originally tightly sealed tomb slowly cracked a hole, revealing a swarthy hole, and I didn't see Jin Jiu say much, just waved his hand, and then took the lead in the tomb, followed by Chang He was stunned, and also frowned and followed in, and the rest of the soldiers saw this, and they rushed in, and after a while, more than a thousand Tang officers and soldiers had disappeared into the dark and bottomless tunnel......

The black bone city is located in the key place of the intersection of the east and west of Goguryeo, from the Eastern Jin Dynasty is the place where merchants gather, to the early years of Zhenguan is to become a commercial town, the merchants from the south to the north are endless, the extremely active business makes the black bone city quite a small Chang'an scene, there are many wealthy merchants who settle in the city, and even the Hu merchants from Persian food also buy land and build houses here, however, since the fight between Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty, the business of the black bone city has gradually declined, but compared with other cities in Goguryeo, it is still a lot more prosperous, especially in the southern district of the inner city where rich businessmen gather, mansions abound, pavilions and pavilions are connected, and the comfort is magnificent, the most famous mansion among them is the Jin Mansion where the Jin Dashan people live - the Jin Mansion that covers an area of dozens of acres, the flowers are full of flowers, the beauty is overwhelming, and what is more rare is that it has a long history, antique and antique, although it is a businessman's family, but there is no copper smell, but it has a strong scholarly atmosphere, which is deeply respected by ten miles and eight townships.

Jin Dashan people, whose real name is Jin Sheng, the ancestors of the local people of Wugu City started by selling wine, and then operated silk, and ran it for many generations, it has long been a rich and noble family that can be counted in the whole Goguryeo, its business covers the entire Liaodong, the mainland of the Tang Dynasty and even the Western Regions can see the banner of the Jin family, although the business is not as good as before these years, it is still the head of the businessmen in the city, and the most gentle and elegant person is the person, and because of the benevolence, often squandering money, the people of the time call it Jin Dashan people.

The harmony of Jin Dashan people is recognized by the world, no matter when, no matter who they meet, as long as they come to the front of Jin Dashan people, they can always see their amiable smiles, even if they meet beggars who come to beg, they are no exception, but at this time Jin Dashan people have completely lost their former calmness, not to mention laughing, they can't sit still, they keep pacing back and forth in a side room with a bitter face, and they can't even take care of wiping the sweat on their faces. From time to time, his eyes were aimed at a middle-aged man sitting on the futon in the corner of the house, and he opened his mouth a few times to ask, but he timidly closed his mouth, and could only sigh alone, so he was beaten by the second watch, Jin Sheng couldn't hold his breath anymore, and strode in front of the middle-aged man, and asked in a low voice anxiously: "Mr. Big, it's all the second watch, why haven't you seen anyone coming, won't it be a change?" ”

Mr. Big, whose real name is unknown, calls himself Jin Da, in the early years, he had a very deep business relationship with Jin Sheng, and he had a deep friendship with each other, and came to the Black Bone City a few years ago, negotiated with Jin Sheng in many ways, and said that he came by the order of His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, and persuaded Jin Sheng to secretly descend to the Tang Dynasty, allow him to be the people of the Tang Dynasty in the future, allow him to move to Chang'an, and give him the title and even trade privileges. After several considerations, Jin Sheng agreed to Jin Dazhi's request, willing to respond to the Tang Army, and in the name of repairing the mansion, the civil engineering master in the "Rising Sun" secretly built a secret passage directly outside the city, in order to prepare for the Tang Army to come, for internal and external echoes, this action has been launched, seeing that the hour is coming, and the Tang Army has never shown up when the Tang Army infiltrated the troops, which makes Jin Sheng how to calm down.

Jin Sheng couldn't hold his breath, go - Jin Da Nai is the general person in charge of the "Rising Sun" Goguryeo Branch, Jin Jiu is one of his subordinates, for today's night raid operation, Jin Da has deployed in many ways, and harassing people and horses have already been sent everywhere, it can be said that everything is ready, as soon as the Tang Army death squad arrives, the whole city can be launched, but it is about to reach the scheduled launch time, but he does not see the Tang Army death squad that should have arrived, Jin Da's heart is also uneasy, but he has experienced a lot of wind and waves, and he will not be happy and angrySeeing Jin Sheng asking at this time, Jin Da frowned and said, "Don't worry, it's almost there, just wait." ”

"This ...... Alas, wait, or ......" Jin Sheng just wanted to suggest that the action be rescheduled, but suddenly heard a gentle sound of machine springs from the corner of the wall, and immediately paused, and looked at the corner of the wall with surprise, at the same time, Jin Da, who was originally sitting steadily on the futon, also got up, nervously looking at a baffle that was slowly moving away from the opposite corner.

The baffle moved silently, revealing a swarthy hole behind it, and suddenly, a head covered with dust poked out, this person was Jin Jiu, but seeing Jin Jiu squinting his eyes and looking left and right for a while, when he saw Jin Da and Jin Sheng waiting on the side, he immediately laughed silently, and in a flash, the person was already standing in the room, took a step, and saluted to Erjin: "Subordinate Jin Jiu has seen Mr. Big and Mr. Jin." ”

"Okay, okay, have you arrived?" Jin Dae didn't care about returning the salute, his eyes looked at the dark hole entrance, and asked nervously.

Jin Jiu didn't make a sound, but walked to the entrance of the cave, took out a fire fold from his arms, shook it, lit the fire fold, and then stretched into the hole, shook it three times up and down, left and right, and a rapid and dull footsteps immediately came out of the hole.

"General Chang, these two are Mr. Jin Da and Mr. Jin Sheng." As soon as Jin Jiu saw Chang He walking out of the cave, he hurriedly stepped forward and introduced Jin Da and Jin Sheng to Chang He.

"The two of you have worked hard, and so-and-so is Changhe, but what is the situation now?" Chang He wandered around in the narrow hole for nearly an hour and a half, sweat and dust all over his face, and at this time, he didn't care about wiping it at all, nor did he care about greetings, so he hurriedly asked.

At this time, the matter was urgent, Jin Dazi was rude to Chang He, smiled and waved his hand and said: "General Chang rest assured, everything is normal, the hour is coming, please gather in the courtyard as soon as possible, and the relevant situation Jin will explain to the general." ”

"It's fine." Chang He would not object to such an arrangement, so he hurriedly responded, turned around and ordered the captain of the personal guard who followed him to gather all the sergeants, but he followed Erjin to the back room.

More than 1,000 people simply crowded the connected courtyards to fill the ground, and the people were steaming hot and uncomfortable, but none of the more than 1,000 Tang officers and soldiers complained about it, and they buried themselves in sorting out their equipment and silently waited for the issuance of the combat order......
