Chapter Thirty-Nine: An Ingenious Way to Siege the City
When camping at night, Guo Zhifeng, who was humiliated by Yun Chu, committed suicide.
Then, he was rescued by his own soldiers.
The next day, he committed suicide again while camping, and was rescued by his own soldiers.
On the third day of camping, Guo Zhifeng felt that he had been humiliated too much, and one or two suicides were not enough to save face, so he was ready to commit suicide again.
When he heard that Guo Zhifeng was preparing to commit suicide again, Yun Chu picked up a horizontal knife and prepared to help this guy.
Wrong is wrong, at this time, there is still kung fu to play these vain suicide games, which makes Yun Chu angry.
Other generals may take care of Guo Beifeng's face, but Yun Chu will not, he is ready to tear off all the skin of this second ancestor and throw it into the pit.
When Yun Chu did big things, gentleness never stopped, and those government soldiers and captains under his command, after hearing about Yun Chu's madness in front of the two armies, treated Yun Chu with more respect.
Many Wannian county government soldiers have already recognized it, and once they go to war in the future, they must firmly follow their own county honor, and only their own county lord will treat them as people.
Throughout the fight with the county honor, it is not that there is no robe and die in battle, but every time he dies in battle, he is fucking in the military array, and the county zun himself is more brave than them.
The most important thing is that it is a very common thing to make a fortune with the county zun, although after the city is broken later, the income is not as good as that of the broken army, but compared with the robes elsewhere in the past few days, the soldiers under the command of Yun Chu found out how lucky they were to follow the county zun.
Yun Chu carried a horizontal knife to Guo Beifeng's military camp, and the soldiers who guarded Guo Beifeng's door saw that Yun Chu came over murderously, and shouted to report to Guo Beifeng, who was eating.
Finding that Yun Chu was coming through the gap in the tent, Guo Zhifeng immediately cut open the back of the tent with a knife, flexibly drilled out, and went straight to Gao Kan's Chinese army tent.
He felt that this time, Yun Chu was really here to kill him.
As a result, there was an extremely funny scene in the army, Yun Chu roared behind and chased Guo Beifeng, and Guo Beifeng was holding his head in front of him.
It wasn't until Gao Kan appeared that this farce was quelled.
Gao Kan looked at Yun Chu and said, "You really don't give him any face." ”
Yun Chu looked at Guo Zhifeng and said: "If you are wrong, you are wrong, and if you correct it in the future, you will play a suicide trick for nothing, which makes people look down on you."
This kind of trick is a trick unique to civil officials, and if you are a military general, you will be even more despised. ”
Gao Kan said: "Since you have a lot of strength and have nowhere to call on you, then, the heavy responsibility of attacking Beifeng City tomorrow will be handed over to the two of you."
One south city, one north city, pick by yourself. ”
Yun Chu looked at Guo Zhifeng and said, "You choose first." ”
With Gao Kan here, Guo Zhifeng was not afraid of Yun Chu, gritted his teeth and said, "I want Beicheng." ”
Yun Chu looked at Guo Zhifeng approvingly and said, "It's not hopelessly stupid yet. ”
After saying Guo Zhifeng, Yun Chu looked at Gao Kan again and said, "Those who go to the city first, have one more day to clean up." ”
Gao Kan smiled: "That's right." ”
Yun Chu looked back at Guo Zhifeng, shook his head, sighed and turned around and left the location of the Chinese army.
Gao Kan said to Guo Beifeng angrily: "What's not convincing, your military skills are not as high as others, your martial arts are far inferior to others, and you are not as smart as others, can't you stay away from him?"
Guo Zhifeng drooped his head and felt that he had nothing to say.
Solving the problem of Guo Beifeng's endless suicide, Yun Chu returned to his military tent and said gently to the man who was lying on the recliner reading a book: "Tomorrow we will fight in Beifeng City, and our army will attack the south gate as the main force." ”
Gently closed the scroll and frowned: "The north city wall is lower, it should be easier to fight, today I saw the Beifeng City Lord Gao Yong appear on the south gate."
Gao Hui, who died in battle three days ago, is really the son of Gao Yong, people often say that Lao Tzu is a hero, it seems that this Gao Yong is not easy to deal with. ”
Yun Chu said: "So we will prepare to attack the city from now on." ”
Gentle said: "It is the beginning of the month at this time, and the moon does not come out, how can we attack?"
Yun Chu kicked the dirt under his feet and said, "The soil here is soft, and it is dark at night, which is just right for us to dig the tunnel." ”
Said gently: "You won't think about digging tunnels to enter the city to sneak attack, right?" Let me tell you, but in any battle to defend the city, people will bury the urn in the ground, and send people to listen to the movement underground. ”
Yun Chu smiled: "Who said that I was going to dig into the city, I was going to dig the city wall and collapse." ”
Gentleness looked at Yun Chu like a fool and said, "I think you may not be able to dig it." ”
Yun Chu casually grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, put it on the table and said, "Look at the mud and sand here, it is very loose and not very suitable for building a city wall. ”
"They can transport dirt from afar, and they will also add some lime, grass stalks, and other things to the soil to strengthen the city walls. ”
Yang Jing said that Beifeng City needs more slaves, because the city walls here are overhauled every four years, and now it has been six years since the last time the city walls were repaired.
"Maybe someone has completely repaired the wall."
Yun Chu laughed and said: "Yes or no, after all, it's better to experiment, you continue to rest, I'll try it." ”
When Yun Chu left the tent, he ordered Zhang Donghai to fetch a sliding bed crossbow, came to a position two arrows away from the city wall, and ordered his soldiers to shoot at the city wall.
The crossbow went to the city wall with the sound of the wind, and for this rammed earth city wall, the crossbow gun sank more than two feet at a time.
I tried three times in different places, and it was the same.
Yun Chu, who knew what he knew, returned, but immediately, his men left the barracks and began to dig the ground from the outside of the two arrows.
The shovels issued by Jinchangfang to the government soldiers are very useful, and some government soldiers even use this thing on the military formation, and now digging is a sharp weapon.
There are gaps in the rammed earth city wall, not a rammed shape, although there are some bridges, but the cracks on the city wall have been visible to the naked eye for a long time.
After discussing with Yang Jing and the three brothers of the Wang family for a while, both Yang Jing and the three brothers of the Wang family were very excited.
Yun Chu lined up twelve sliding bed crossbows to provide protection for the slaves who were digging trenches underground.
All of a sudden, the twelve earth dragons slowly extended towards the city.
The defenders of the city noticed this, and a moment later, the Goguryeo army's heavy crossbows also began to fire. Baidu search|7|4|文|学|网|See the latest chapters of the Tang people's dining table.
Gao Kan learned that Yun Chu's army had begun to attack the city, and thought that Yun Chu wanted to attack the city in this dark night, so he was furious, and after hurrying over, he found that Yun Chu's army was working on earth.
And Yun Chu was very well prepared, crossbowmen, archers pressed the formation, to ensure that the Goguryeo people did not dare to send people out of the city to assault these slave soldiers who were digging a ditch, the narrow ditch and the wooden box full of sand at the front ensured that the slave soldiers digging the ditch were not damaged by the enemy's heavy crossbows, which looked very thorough.
"You're digging through the walls?" After Gao Kan discovered Yun Chu's earthwork work, his first thought was that he wanted to dig a hole and enter the city, and he didn't care about the life and death of those slave soldiers.
Yun Chu said with a smile: "The last general just wants to dig up and collapse this dilapidated city wall that has fallen into disrepair so that my cavalry can raid into the city. ”
Gao Kan frowned and said, "We don't have enough time for you to dig down the city wall, you are working in vain." ”
Yun Chu said with a smile: "It's good to try, if the city wall is not dug down at dawn, the last general will lead the soldiers to rush the city." ”
Since Yun Chu, who is a striker, has already made up his mind, and he is using Goguryeo slave soldiers, Gao Kan can't say anything, anyway, the plan to launch an attack tomorrow has been set and cannot be changed.
Guo Zhifeng stood aside thoughtfully.
Yun Chu said to him: "If you think my method is feasible, go to the north and use it, your city wall there is lower, and it will not affect the cavalry charge much after it collapses."
Don't be embarrassed, when you face the families of the dead soldiers in the future, you will find that the lives of soldiers are worth more than your face. ”
Guo Beifeng said angrily: "You don't need to be a good person. ”
Yun Chu turned to Zhang Donghai and said, "Send two people over to help him." ”
Immediately, two lieutenants who were working in the tunnel walked out and followed Guo Beifeng, this time, this guy did not refuse.
Yun Chu didn't think that this guy had changed his temperament, but after seeing the power of the Goguryeo people's heavy crossbow here, he was also timid.
The cold weapons that Datang has, Goguryeo has no shortage of, and even surpasses Datang in the use of steel, after all, they have too much steel.
The cause of this situation was Emperor Yang of Sui, who deserved to die, and his last expedition to Goguryeo, halfway through the battle, heard that Yang Xuangan had rebelled in China.
This dog's day immediately ordered all the troops to return to China to quell the rebellion, leaving behind all the craftsmen of the Great Sui as many as 30,000, and even the 500,000 people recruited from the country, and returned to China in a hurry with the army.
Then, Goguryeo's level of mining, iron smelting, armor making, and weapon manufacturing approached the Tang Dynasty, and in some aspects, it even surpassed the Tang Dynasty.
The Goguryeo heavy crossbows bombarded the wooden chests, and after a few times, the wooden boxes full of earth would be torn apart, and the slaves were also very clever enough to stop digging the tunnels straight and change them to zigzag shapes, so that the enemy's heavy crossbows would be useless.
The roadway is only two meters deep, one and a half meters wide, the main excavation earthwork is Yang Jing, the three brothers of the Wang family brought two thousand slave soldiers, Yun Chu sent two hundred soldiers to be responsible for commanding, and when the sky appeared fish belly white, the roadway has been excavated to the bottom of Beifeng City, and the foundation of the city wall of Beifeng City is being excavated horizontally.
The boulders at the top of the city kept falling, smashing on the thick logs lying across the lanes, and although the sound was terrifying, the slaves in the lanes were still digging bravely.
Yang Jing's side was already full of dead corpses, all of them were slave soldiers who were afraid that the city wall would collapse and were unwilling to continue digging.
Yang Jing didn't care about this, because Yun Chu promised him that as long as he entered the city, his slave soldiers could be like Yun Chu's government soldiers, and they could burn, kill and loot all day.
Yang Jing knows Beifeng City very well, this is the location of the granary in Liaodong, and now it has just entered autumn, and the grain and grass in the city must be piled up.
The Tang army also has requirements for grain, and it is impossible for him to get it, but Beifeng City has always been rich, and there are countless Goguryeo, and the grain merchants of Baekje are here all the year round, even if the assets in the hands of these merchants can make him a lot of money.
