Chapter 582: Waiting for the Enemy (Summoning a Monthly Pass)
An hour later, the high-spirited Li Jingye led a thousand fierce and vicious Tang Dynasty iron cavalry, driving thousands of people, brothers, or fathers and sons, to guard the border on the banks of the Sashui River, as well as carrying the surrender letters written by those subordinates who took the initiative or were forced to write, out of the West Gate, heading towards the west.
After the coordination of more than 20,000 naval forces, our human resources are much more relaxed, and we directly sent the naval army to take over the key departments that Su Dingfang and others were originally guarding, so that these Datang elite soldiers can defend themselves, after all, in my heart, the combat effectiveness of the professional soldiers of the Datang Military Academy is higher than that of the naval officers no matter what, at least, the 6,000 people of Su Mingjiang and the 4,000 people under my command are definitely the elite of the elite, otherwise, There's no way Uncle Lee could have asked us to do this.
Five artillery pieces have been unloaded from under the battleship, and the soldiers have been dragged up to the city tower by humming and shouting, coupled with the dozens of mortars, as well as some heavy equipment that we did not have time to unload when we were at the small dock at that time, plus nearly 10,000 soldiers to defend this wall about two miles long, it can be said that it is enough, at least it can withstand at least half a month of troops several times our strength.
The arrival of a large number of sailors also played a powerful deterrent role, to the less, Goguryeo's capital was as quiet as a ghost town with no one on track, because of the warning of those demoted officials, as for the two days to strictly prohibit anyone from going out of the house, and those who are short of food, can report to the patrolling Tang soldiers, and naturally there will be demoted officials to lead the staff to distribute rice and grain. In this way, all strangers who appear on the street for no reason will be punished with annihilation and all of them will be taken into custody, so as to put an end to all unsafe factors.
Manager Zhang is very leisurely, the old guy decided to visit the palace of Goguryeo, according to his words, he just wanted to see what the architectural style is different from our Tang Dynasty, but, according to my understanding of these veteran ruffians, ten ** is to go to the palace to see if there is anything he likes.
---------------------------------------------------- anyway, the law and order situation in the capital is extremely good, and there have been no fights and other incidents of evil surnames.
By noon, I finally saw Li Jingye's troops appear under the city. "How?" After Li Jingye drank enough water, I couldn't wait to ask him about what happened along the way.
Li Jingye wiped the water stains on his lips and let out a long breath, before he explained everything to me in detail, after leaving the city, they drove forward in groups of 100 people, each 100 people guarded 300 unarmed Goguryeo people, the distance between each team was about a mile, and they drove those poor military families to a distance from the Goguryeo camp before returning, and after a period of observation, they made sure that those people had already gotten into the barracks and spread the news and rumors that we deliberately let them know before turning back.
"Don't worry, Master, it's all done, I didn't worry at first, and I went into the forest with a few people to observe for a while, until we saw that there was a stirring in the Goguryeo military camp, and we withdrew." Li Jingye was very excited and explained the matter in detail.
"Hahaha! Good! Good boy, there you have it. In this case, I want to see what happens to the Goguryeo minister, Quan Gai Suwen? I grinned happily. Great, now, I dare to guarantee 100% of the vote, Quangai Suwen must, well, it should be said that he can only lead the army back to the capital of Goguryeo, at this time, I can only pray quietly, Uncle Li can receive the news of the past from us as soon as possible, so that under the decision of Uncle Li, a wise monarch with an IQ of 255, the demise of Goguryeo is just a snap of a finger.
"Great! Quangai Suwen's old boy, my old Su also wants to see what he looks like. Su Dingfang looked excited, turned back to the herald beside him and said: "Order all the soldiers to give Lao Su the flag of my Tang Dynasty to the top of this West City Gate Building, and when the time comes, let that Spring Gai Suwen can also see it at a glance." ”
What we didn't expect was that the soldiers we had left at the landing site were the first to arrive, and they had recovered almost after a night of repair, and they came on horseback, so although they were still tired, at least they were in good spirits. And when they saw that we had taken the capital of Goguryeo, they all cheered excitedly, and regretted that they could not catch up with this very meaningful battle.
With them joining, it made our mood even more relaxed, standing in front of the city gate building, bragging, teasing each other, waiting for the arrival of the Goguryeo army.
However, to our surprise, after a full day had passed, there was not a single disturbance in the vast expanse of land, and not even a single figure appeared in our sight. This confused us, and we immediately sent someone to invite the honorable Governor Zhang to come and discuss the matter.
"Oh? No one came? The old man thought that the kid would rush back with the troops, but he didn't expect that he was still a little scheming. After pondering for a while, Mr. Zhang stroked his beard and chuckled.
When I heard this, my heart moved, and I looked up at the sky, where the sun was about to set and the full moon had risen in the sky. "Could it be that Gai Suwen also wants to learn from us, can't he attack at night?" I slowly raised my own questions.
"Hehehe, since you have all guessed, what are you going to do with the old man?" Manager Zhang threw us a big roll of the eyes without any sense of responsibility, and stretched a big lazy waist: "When I see the old boy of Quangai Suwen, I will call the old man again, and now the old man will go back to the boat to rest first." ”
"Congratulations to the Chief." I had no choice but to respectfully send the uncle out of the city tower with everyone.
"Night raid? What's the matter, we are the best at night raids. Just with those old and weak soldiers in Goguryeo, they also want to use the night attack to fight us? On the side, the eldest brother couldn't help but make such a sentence out of his nostrils, and the five uncles on the side also had the same expression. I didn't have time to pay attention to these six, I recruited Su Dingfang, and Liu Renliang, who was assigned to us by General Manager Zhang, to coordinate the work between us and the officers and soldiers of the navy. "What should I do?!"
---------------------------------------------------- "The best thing to attack at night is to open the city gate by fraud, or to attack the city gate by surprise, and the other point is to follow our old method yesterday, sneak into the city along the river to make trouble, and when our army's heart is floating, storm the city gate." Su Dingfang took into account several possible surnames at once.
"Since they want to fight at night, then we will give them the opportunity to fight at night." I smirked grimly. It doesn't matter if your mother fights at night or at war, and wants to counterattack? We're not going to leave you a chance.
"Look, the detailed map of the capital here, there are four city gates, all under the control of our army, in addition, there are two water gates, which are also taken over by our army, the most worrying person is here, that is, our intelligence officers led two hundred dead soldiers into the southern section of the Huangshui River, there is no water gate here, Liu Changshi, you go back immediately, lead the five warships to light up, closely inspect here, don't let a Goguryeo person enter and exit at will, if there are not many enemies, I believe that Ren Shuijun can solve it, if not, you can use the rocket as the number, I'll have my troops come to my aid. ”
"The subordinate official obeys the order, and the subordinate official will leave first." After Liu Renliang received the order, he immediately hurried out of the city tower and went straight to the south of the city.
"Where is Xi Jun selling?! Where is Liu Wucheng?! Li Jingye, Li Yexu ......"
"The last general!" These four tiger generals under my command answered loudly and stepped out.
"Xi Jun sells a thousand elite shooters, and the three of you each lead a thousand elite horsemen, and I am firmly stationed in the city, in the center, if I see any news of rockets, then let one of them unify a thousand elites to rush to support, if there is a police in the south of the city, it will be handed over to Xi Jun to sell. Do you get it? ”
"No!" The four generals agreed in unison and came out with orders, and the remaining three gates were naturally composed of half a dozen youth version of Uncle Cheng, each in a group of two, to go to the town to guard the position. Although these six uncles are usually very shameless and cheeky, they are the assistants who reassure me when they get down to business.
"Where is Duan Yunsong?!" I shouted again. Duan Yunsong stepped out. "You led the army to give me a firm look at the two water gates in the north of the city, remember not to slack off, and if there is any enemy, report back immediately."
"The last will obey." Duan Yunsong took the order and left.
"Where are Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian?!" I finally shouted.
The two of them stood up, and the task I gave them was the simplest, but also the most dangerous: "Each of you shall take a hundred scouts, in groups of ten, and give me a good survey of the twenty miles west of the city, and if there is an enemy attack, immediately come and report it to my officer." Remember, don't fight the enemy, lest you lose your life. ”
