The soldiers are fast, and the late ones will change!

After some thought, Qin Huaidao decided to change his plan and try to see if he could take Liaodong, if he succeeded, there would be too many benefits, it was worth taking the risk, let people look it up, and find a map of Liaodong City in the City Lord's Mansion, the grain depot, military camp, government office, etc., all of which are clear.

With this map, you can do more with less.

Qin Huaidao studied it carefully, once he entered the city, where did he need to arrange how many troops? How to march the fastest? What strains might exist in the enemy? and so on, all of which are constantly deducing in their minds to find the best way.

Unconsciously, an hour passed, and the soldiers came in one after another laughing, and when they saw Qin Huaidao staring at the map and studying, they all stopped talking and waited patiently.

After a while, Qin Huaidao raised his head, with a certain resoluteness flashing in his eyes, glanced at everyone, and finally landed on the stubborn thinking force, and said in a deep voice: "An Guogong, I intend to attack Liaodong, but I need one person to stay in Huaiyuan." ”

Although he did not want to miss the opportunity to continue to make meritorious contributions, the lieutenant general Ling Rushan could not refute it, and said with his fists clenched: "The old man is willing to stay!" ”

"Then thank you An Guogong, this general left you a thousand people, be sure to hold Huaiyuan, wait for logistics and reinforcements to arrive, in addition, prepare the dried meat required by the army for five days overnight, this matter is important, An Guogong is calm, cautious, experienced, the most suitable, this matter is successful, you will be credited." Qin Huaidao promised.

"Thank you, General." Stubbornness breathed a sigh of relief, just leave a thousand people.

"The three brothers of the Cheng family!"

The three brothers stepped forward and bowed.

"Open the city gate after dawn to drive the people away, a large part of the people will go to Liaodong, at that time, the three of you will take out two hundred people from the Anguo Gongfu Department and pretend to be among the people, once you enter the city, take advantage of the chaos to take the city gate, it may be done?" Qin Huaidao said solemnly.

The three of them lit up their eyes as soon as they heard that they had entered the city, it was a big battle, and they would definitely be able to kill it, and they clenched their fists excitedly and shouted: "Guarantee to complete the task." ”

As soon as he listened to the transfer of two hundred people from his own troops, once he succeeded, it would be a great achievement, and he immediately smiled, and the little mustard left in Huaiyuan in his heart disappeared.

Qin Huaidao looked at Wei Chi Baolin, and after waiting for the other party to come out of the ranks with tacit understanding, he said: "Baolin, once the city gate is opened, the forbidden army will rush in for me and take the grain depot, grain is very important to the future of our army, and it must not be lost." ”

"Obey!" Yu Chi Baolin solemnly agreed.

"Luo Zhang!"

As soon as Luo Zhang heard that he had his own business, he hurriedly stepped forward.

Qin Huaidao continued: "After the forbidden army rushes into the city, the mercenaries will follow and rush in, once they enter the city, they will be divided into four, take down the four gates respectively, and clear every enemy army they can see, they must divide the labor in advance, tell them that once the forbidden army attacks the grain depot, it will attract a large number of enemy support, and it must be stopped, once everyone runs away, they will have no one to lead the reward, it is possible?" ”

"Back to the general, the reward has been issued, after getting the silver, they are convinced of the general's words, and now they will not frown when they enter the Goguryeo Kingdom, the enemy army defending the city is always silver for the mercenaries, and the gold is expensive, and they will definitely try their best to stop it." Luo Zhang Zhengse said.

"That's good." Qin Huaidao saw that Luo Zhang saw the beauty of the mercenary, and smiled with satisfaction.

The others looked at it with envy, cutting off a head is the usual silver, it is simply blood, but everyone is a regular army, and they are embarrassed to speak.

Qin Huaidao saw everyone's thoughts, thinking that there must be silver in Liaodong City, so he said: "This battle is important, and so are the other departments, a head is always silver, of course, it is not really exchanged for a head, and you can't snatch the head when you fight, accounting after the war, who dares to mess around before the war, there is no forgiveness for killing!" ”

"General Xie!" When everyone heard that there was also a silver reward, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Doing so violates the rules of the imperial court, but Qin Huaidao doesn't care, he is worried that he can't defile himself, he looked at An Guogong and continued: "An Guogong, the remaining two thousand of your ministry entered the city with this general at the end, and after entering the city, they took over the government office, and then Yu Linwei took over the government office, and your department inspected the whole city, killed the remnants, and restrained the people from going out. ”

"Obey the order, the old man will tell everyone, if anyone dares to mess around and disobey the generals, they will be cut." Persistent thinking and comprehending, solemnly said.

Qin Huaidao nodded with satisfaction, the grain depot and the government are very important, and he really doesn't dare to hand it over to the Turkic army, but he can't chill the heart of the Turkic army, and it is most appropriate to send it out to continue to kill the remnants.

I also understand the reason, and I have long been used to it, at least there is a reward for silver this time, which is not bad.

"Okay, let's go down and prepare, drive the people out of the city after dinner early tomorrow morning, don't kill indiscriminately, let alone rob the people's finances, just drive them out of the city, and after the people leave, the army will pull out, follow from afar, avoid exposure, Cheng family brothers, whether you can take Liaodong depends on you." Qin Huaidao looked at the three brothers of the Cheng family.

The three brothers of the Cheng family also knew that Qin Huaidao was giving himself a great opportunity for meritorious service, and they were grateful in their hearts, and solemnly promised: "Please rest assured, the general will complete the task to the death." ”

"Yu Chi Baoqi." Qin Huaidao looked at Wei Chi Baoqi: "The Yulin Army returns, you don't have to worry about security, you go back to the army, and then draw out people to train and climb overnight, raise enough five hundred, if the Cheng brothers can't penetrate into the city, the army presses, and the crossbow suppresses the enemy army at the head of the city, covering you to climb up, and forcibly open the city gate, it's really this step, it's extremely dangerous, if you succeed, this general will give you the first credit, and each person will be rewarded with a hundred pieces of silver." ”

"Obey!" Yu Chi Baoqi was overjoyed and looked at Cheng Chumo defiantly.

Cheng Chu said unhappily: "You don't have a chance to get on." ”

"Not necessarily!" Yu Chi Baoqi snorted.

Qin Huaidao didn't mind everyone competing, so he didn't stop it, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's all go down and prepare separately, if we can conquer Liaodong in one fell swoop, everyone will definitely be famous all over the world." ”

"General Xie is complete!" Everyone said heartily.

Soon, everyone left, Qin Huaidao continued to study the map, drew some offensive lines on it, copied two copies, and called a Yulin guard to advise: "Give these two copies to Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin respectively, and tell them to march according to the above route." ”

"Obey!" The other party hurried away with the map.

The battle plan was confirmed, Qin Huaidao was not at ease, and continued to deduce, and then found a place to sleep.

Early the next morning, the army was well fed and drunk, and drove the people away as planned.

The people were in a state of panic all night, fearing that they would be killed, and they had long wanted to go out of the city, and when they received the order, they were overjoyed, and left with the softness that had been prepared long ago, and seeing that the army did not take the opportunity to rob or kill indiscriminately, one by one they were still not at ease, and quickly rushed out of the city.

The nearest city in Huaiyuan is Liaodong City in the southeast, in the snowy season, I am afraid that I will freeze to death if I go farther away, and I have to go towards Liaodong City, the three brothers of the Cheng family are in the team with the selected people, one by one wearing tattered clothes, with a black face, with a short knife, at first glance and ordinary people.

In order to succeed, the three brothers of the Cheng family made careful preparations, and the appearance of the selected people was close to Goguryeo, it was difficult to see through without looking carefully, and the only flaw was the language.

After coming once, the three brothers of the Cheng family knew the situation behind the gate of Liaodong City, and the deployment was very targeted.

Along the way, everyone hurried silently, keeping a certain distance from each other so as not to arouse suspicion.

The weather is cold, I am worried about freezing to death, and I am even more worried that the army will catch up, the people will go quickly, and a sad atmosphere will permeate the team, without a home, the future will be confused, and even hopeless.

Suddenly, a person in the team screamed and fell, with an extra short knife on his body, and the package on his body was snatched by someone, Cheng Chu thought that it was his own person, and his heart tightened, and he quickly turned his head to look, and found that it was a strong man he didn't know, and he opened it with the snatched package, revealing a greedy look.

The man who fell was a middle-aged man, dressed like a rich businessman, grabbed the strong man's legs and feet, and said something in his mouth, the strong man impatiently kicked him over, kicked the person away, and turned away, not caring about the other party.

When people are out of despair, the ugliness of human nature also erupts.

Many people around looked at this scene angrily, but no one dared to say anything when they saw the strong man's physique, Cheng Chubi's face was cold, and he was about to step forward, Cheng Chumo grabbed it, shook his head, it was not easy to hug and fight, but it would also attract attention, what should I do if someone comes to talk, make friends, or seek shelter? As soon as you open your mouth, the filling will be revealed.

In front of the task, everything is not important!

Cheng Chubi quickly calmed down, sighed when he thought of the consequences, gave up the idea of holding the grievances, glanced at the middle-aged man who was stabbed sympathetically, and left in a hurry.

Along the way, there are constantly things to rob property and food, without constraints, there is no future, and people will frantically grab survival materials to ensure that they can survive after they have no sense of security.

Looting makes the team go faster!

At dusk, the team came to Liaodong City, one by one desperately rushed forward, once they were locked outside the city, life and death were unpredictable, and finally walked to Liaodong City, seeing the hope of living, no one wanted to die.

Liaodong City was about to close the city gate, and was startled when he saw the thousands of people who were swarming, and the soldiers defending the city hurriedly intercepted it, and the city gate sent someone back to the palace to report, rushed out with the team, and shouted: "Stop, stop for me, don't go any further, otherwise there will be no mercy." ”

Faced with the threat of countless archers, the people regained some of their senses and stopped.

An old man stepped forward tremblingly and shouted: "General, we are the people of Huaiyuan Town, Huaiyuan was taken down, and we were driven out of the city, there is no way to live, so we can only come here, go to the general, and give everyone a way to live." ”

"What, Huaiyuan Town was taken down? What the? The general was taken aback.

The old man hurriedly said: "The grass people don't know, they only know that they are very powerful, and they suddenly entered the city at night, and there are many people and strict discipline, not like the Khitans, I'm afraid it's the Tang army." ”

"Tang Jun, are you sure?" The general defending the city's pupils shrank suddenly.

"The grass people don't dare to be sure, it's just a guess, but who else dares to attack Huaiyuan besides the Tang Army?" The old man asked rhetorically.

The general guarding the city looked at the old man cautiously, dressed well, spoke and behaved well, not like an ordinary person, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"General Hui, the grass people are a steward in the mansion of the lord of Huaiyuan City, and the lord was killed, and they are all the family members of the lord of the lord." The old man pointed to the dozen or so people beside him.

There were more than a dozen people testifying, the identity of the old man was trustworthy, the general who defended the city was no longer suspicious, and immediately asked an officer to go back to confess, looking at everyone, thousands of people all looked panicked, men, women and children, this uneasiness could not be disguised, Huaiyuan was afraid that he was really lost.

Without Huaiyuan in front, Liaodong City would be in danger.

The old man saw that the general guarding the city was slow to make a decision, and he was a little anxious, and shouted: "General, let me wait to enter the city, the weather is cold, and the grass people will die when they are old, but there are still children, who have died a lot along the way, and they can't die anymore, so I ask the general for mercy." ”

"Ask the general for mercy!" Everyone around shouted one after another.

The general defending the city looked embarrassed, and did not dare to put people in without orders from above, not because he was worried that someone would be inside, but because he was worried that after thousands of people entered, there would be chaos in Liaodong City.

When the people saw that the general guarding the city would not let them go, they panicked, they did not eat or drink, and the weather was cold, and there must be no doubt, they had the courage to go out and shout: "General, let us in, we will die if we stay outside." ”

"General, let us in, please."

"If you don't let us in, we'll all die!"

"I don't want to die-"

"Rush in, or you won't survive!"

For a while, the crowd was excited, and there was everything to say, and many people were eager to try, but in the face of countless archers, no one dared to really rush forward.

Cheng Chu silently saw that the guards of the city gate would not dare to let him go, no matter what the reason was not good for him, thinking that the task could not be completed, the army had to attack, and many people would die, not to mention, and he would be snatched away by Yu Chi Baolin's fool, and a wave of anger rushed straight to the head and threw a look at the two brothers.

The two brothers nodded in agreement and gestured to the people around them.

The next moment, Cheng Chu silently rushed over and rushed straight to the gatekeeper of the city, preparing to attack hard.

It's a pity that the language is not comprehensible, otherwise you can shout a few words and incite public opinion.

However, when the people saw that someone was taking the lead, many people rushed forward, and they also rushed forward in the hearts of the people, no one was not afraid of death, but no one was willing to stay outside the icy city and wait for death.

The soldiers guarding the city were a little panicked when they saw this scene, and they all looked at the gate guards of the city, and no one dared to shoot arrows to stop them without the order of the main general.

The gatekeeper of the city was also a little stunned, he didn't expect that someone was really not afraid of death and rushed forward, and there were a lot of them, this stunned kung fu, Cheng Chumo had already rushed up, and the gatekeeper felt a terrible breath of danger, and he didn't care about the order, so he quickly waved his knife and slashed it, but found that he was cut empty and his body exploded.

Cheng Chumo dodged the attack and ran up, stabbed the opponent with a short knife, and flew away after being dodged by the other party and kicked it, the other party hurriedly blocked with a horizontal knife, Cheng Chumo kicked on the knife surface, and the terrifying force rushed over, kicking the person out three or four meters and falling to the ground.

Some subordinates rushed up to mend the knife, and were rolled away by the city gatekeeper, Cheng Chumo took the opportunity to rush up, the short knife in his hand came out of his hand, and he fell into the heart of the city gatekeeper who rolled to avoid the attack, and once again forced the other party to ignore the order, and the defending army still did not shoot without an order, and a large number of people took the opportunity to rush up and cut at the defending army.

The city gate guard was hit, stared at Cheng Chumo, and shouted weakly: "You...... You're not...... Commoners? ”

When the words fell, his head tilted, and he was lifeless.

Cheng Chumo stepped forward to pick up the other party's big knife, like a Menghu rushing down the mountain, staring at the city gate, the city guards saw the sudden change in the situation, they all panicked, someone quickly ordered the city gate to be closed, but the city gate closure is not solved by pressing a button, you need to turn the winch.

It takes time to turn the turntable.

But this time will not be long, Cheng Chumu didn't care about the fight, and rushed forward, Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chubi also knew that the time was pressing, and they didn't care about the fight, so they led people to rush forward, and the interceptor soldiers realized something, but a large number of people also rushed over, blocking the way, unable to intercept.

The boulder at the city gate fell slowly, and there were people on the city head who shot arrows to stop it, which was extremely dangerous.

Seeing that he was about to miss, Cheng Chumo was unwilling, and rushed forward, swinging his knife and cutting the flying feather arrows, and the screams of his subordinates who were hit by arrows kept coming from behind him, but he couldn't care about it.

If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!

Cheng Chumo roared angrily, his potential exploded, his speed increased sharply, and when the thousands of boulders fell halfway down, he finally rushed into the city, rushed through the long doorway, and saw many people turning the winch, his eyes instantly turned red, and he rushed up and slashed the two of them with a knife.

The person who was turning the winch was so frightened that he hurriedly fled, Cheng Chumo picked up a giant wood and stuck the turntable to prevent the thousands of boulders from continuing to fall, and when he saw that the two brothers also caught up, his spirits were greatly lifted, and he shouted: "Hold!" ”

"Understood!" The two brothers replied in agreement.

The three of them each defended one side, and their eyes narrowed as they looked at the enemy who rushed up, and their fighting spirit boiled.

"Kill—"

Almost at the same time, the three of them roared angrily and slashed with the enemy, their swords blazing fiercely, blood splattering, and they blocked it to the death, preventing one of the enemies from rushing up and continuing to put the winch.

Soon, a large number of subordinates arrived, and the enemy who rushed up was killed, but more enemies rushed over, and Cheng Chu silently shouted: "Blocking them is the first merit, no one will reward a hundred pieces of silver, kill!" ”

As soon as everyone heard the silver reward, their eyes instantly turned red.

One by one, their morale soared, and they rushed up to slash and slash wildly, blocking the enemy army to the death.

The city gate could not be closed, the consequences were unimaginable, and the enemy army began to fight desperately, rushing madly to kill.

Qin Huaidao had already calculated this variable, so he arranged for the three brothers of the Cheng family to lead the team, the three of them were like three killing gods, they were ruthless and fierce, the enemy army had no generals, and no one could catch the three brothers of the Cheng family.

All of a sudden, the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Soon, a large number of people rushed in, crowding the city gate, the soldiers defending the city were worried that there were still people in the people, blocking the front, not letting go, the cold shining knives frightened the people more panicked, more chaotic.

Someone couldn't help but shout: "The officers and soldiers want to kill us, rush!" ”

"Rush over!"

"Officers and soldiers are killing!"

Stimulated by all kinds of shouts, the people couldn't care about anything, and rushed forward desperately, blocking the officers and soldiers who rushed up to support the winch, and the officers and soldiers were also angry, thinking that the city gate was lost, and there was a capital crime, and the leading officer was in a hurry for a while, and shouted: "Kill the past-"

As soon as the military ordered, like death descending, the soldiers drew their swords and slashed at the people who stood in front of them.

When the other people saw it, they were worried that they would be wiped out, so they rushed even harder and more crazy, and many people fought back, and for a while, the scene was chaotic.

Without reinforcements arriving, the pressure on the three brothers was greatly reduced, and they held on to the winch.

Soon, there was a dense roar of horses' hooves outside the city gate, Luo Zhang arrived with thousands of mercenaries, the snow had melted a lot, the war horses were able to charge, and the mercenary army composed of the Xi and Khitan tribes had greatly increased their combat effectiveness.

Soon, the mercenaries rushed into the city like a gust of wind, the Xi and Khitan people did not speak of benevolence and righteousness, and under the stimulation of the reward, they rushed wildly on horseback, did not slow down at all, and quickly rushed to the enemy army that blocked them, directly crushed the past, continued to rush forward, and rushed to their respective war zones according to the division of labor.

Seven thousand mercenaries poured in like a rolling torrent, skillfully shooting with their bows, and soon the defenders of the city gate were scattered, unable to resist, and the mercenaries who rushed to the last did not kill other places, but stayed to clear the remnants, and drove the people together, not to run around.

Cheng Chumo breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at this scene, his excited eyes lit up, Liaodong City's first merit was stable, and he could definitely be knighted with this merit.

The court stipulates that the eldest son can inherit his father's title, but other sons cannot, that is to say, Cheng Chumo can inherit the title of Duke of the country, but Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chubi cannot, there will be no title in the future, good man, who doesn't want to fight with a knife in his hand and become an official?

Moreover, this kind of knighthood obtained by virtue of military merits, even the lowest title, is convincing and respectful.

The three brothers exchanged glances, and they all looked at Qin Huaidao who had entered the city, and their eyes became more and more fanatical.

Qin Huaidao looked over and saw the corpses all over the ground, many of his own people, his heart tightened, and he asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, General Xie cares." Cheng Chumo said with sincere gratitude, friendship is friendship, the kindness of this head work is too heavy, why not be grateful?

"Chu Mo stayed to treat his injured brothers, and Chu Liang and Chu Bi each led a thousand people into the palace and acted according to the plan." Qin Huaidao admonished.

The 2,000 Turkic troops need to be killed into the palace, and then they need to chase and kill the remnants all over the city, restrain the people, and strictly enforce military discipline.

The Turkic army had long been accustomed to the leadership of the three brothers of the Cheng family, and quickly split into two and rushed into the city.

Qin Huaidao jumped off the horse, hurriedly went up to help, cleaned the wounds of the injured people with wine, bandaged them, and Li Yixie took Yu Linwei up to help.

A soldier looked at Qin Huaidao with emotion, with tears in his eyes, and said excitedly: "General, the small one is not a big deal, I can handle it myself, and I don't dare to bother the general to do it." ”

", you're hurting your hand, how do you bandage your other hand?" Qin Huaidao scolded.

The rude words not only did not make the other party angry, but they felt more cordial, smirked gratefully, and couldn't help but say: "General Xie, it is the happiest to fight with the general." ”

"That's right, you can win the battle every time, happy!"

"And a full amount of silver!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed heartily, without any hurt pain and helplessness, and their eyes were full of gratitude when they looked at Qin Huaidao.

The army's spirit is as steady as a rock.

Qin Huaidao looked at everyone and smiled, with such a military heart, what else is there to fear?
