Volume 4 Chapter 406 Good News Enters Chang'an!
Hearing the words of the Yuan Pure Land, Ma Dudu did not react.
Only then did he understand that the reason why the Yuan Pure Land came to their Beisha City was just to drag down the Tang army, and it was definitely not something to live and die with their Beisha City.
Thinking of this, he laughed to himself again.
Yes, that is the Pure Land of Yuan, how can the top magnates of Goguryeo live and die with their Beisha City?
In their eyes, the city of Beisha is just an abandoned child that can be discarded at any time.
For the sake of their so-called big picture, what is a small Beisha city?
But he can't, not to say that he is the governor of Beisha City, but to say that this Beisha City is the homeland where he was born and raised, and he can't cut it off.
But are you going to say that the Pure Land of the Abyss is wrong?
Actually, no.
What is the strategic purpose?
Isn't it just to defend against the Tang Army?
No matter what method you use, it's always right to be able to retreat from the enemy.
Beisha City is not big, the defenders are only a few thousand soldiers and horses, Datang is now menacing, and it is still a multi-sided attack, if all the troops are put into Beisha City, then do other places need to be defended?
In this case, there are definitely trade-offs.
It's just that some people are willing, some people are not.
When Ma Dudu came to the city, he didn't hide it, and said directly: "Brother Yuan is ready to withdraw his troops, and the imperial court also greatly appreciates our Beisha City for blocking the Tang army for more than a month. ”
When all the soldiers heard him say this, they were all stunned, and some people asked curiously: "What about the governor?" ”
"This officer?" When Ma Dudu heard this, he said with a resolute face, "As the governor of Beisha City, how can this official leave!"
This official, I want to live and die with Beisha City! ”
"But we can't stop it...... "There are tens of thousands of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, and we are only a few thousand soldiers and horses, how can we resist?" ”
"The official said, if you want to evacuate, leave quickly." Ma Dudu said, "The old man knows that this is the overall situation, but the old man looks down on this so-called overall situation in his heart!"
Today you can lose Beisha City, tomorrow you can lose Ancheng City, Jian'an, as long as it is for the overall situation, any city can be lost.
But they forgot, this is a national war!
Since it is a national war, when an inch of land is not ceded, every inch of land must be fought! How can I give away my Goguryeo territory for the sake of the so-called overall situation! ”
"Don't go, the war has been fought so far, and we haven't fought with the Tang Army yet, how can we leave without letting go of a fart at this time."
"Yes, I don't know who will kill the deer, and the last general won't leave!"
After Ma Dudu finished speaking, some hot-blooded guys immediately made a statement.
Fuck, it's all two shoulders against one head, who's worse than whom, isn't it?
Of course, there are also some people who are embarrassed, and they still want to withdraw.
As the saying goes, there are hundreds of people of all kinds, and no one can achieve unity in such things.
"You can go if you want." Seeing this, Ma Dudu immediately said, "Don't care what we think. ”
He knows very well that he didn't really stay, and if he stays strongly, it will be bad.
When those wavering soldiers heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, arched their hands, and said: "The righteousness of the governor will be passed down through the ages, but the family will be ...... in the end."
"Needless to say." Ma Dudu said, "The official said that if you want to go, you can go, and the official will never stop you, everyone has their own choice, and there is no right or wrong."
Now that Beisha City has been abandoned by the imperial court, you will follow Brother Yuan to evacuate Beisha City at this time, and no one will say that you are deserters.
Fortunately, I can also leave some seeds for my Beisha City, if I am not defeated and finally die in this Beisha City, the roots of my Beisha City are still there! ”
After he finished speaking, the soldiers who wanted to evacuate said no more, and after bowing their hands, they immediately turned around and left.
At this point, it is really useless to talk too much.
And when the people sent by the Yuan Pure Land saw this, it was inconvenient to say more, the Yuan Pure Land asked him to come, just to prevent him from pressing everyone to accompany him to the end.
But since there is no such situation, of course he will not say much, and as for those who choose to stay, he will not persuade them.
"In Weng City, if you are willing to go with you, you will also shout." Just as the crowd turned to leave, Madudu spoke again.
I have to say that although this Madutu is not a personal talent, he is really atmospheric.
When he met not Li Jing, but Zhang Liang, this battle really had to be fought.
It's a pity that he met Li Jing, who was like the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, and the outcome of this battle was already doomed.
"After they leave, go and see how many people are still in the city, and bring them to the city to defend the city, and by the way, bring all the crossbows and incendiary bombs to the city.
People can go, but these things have to be left behind by Lao Tzu! ”
Mathu said to one of the guards at the head of the city who had not departed.
The guard general was a little puzzled and asked, "Isn't this urn city prepared for Li Jing?" ”
"Prepare a fart." Ma Dudu said, "As soon as the Yuan Pure Land heard that the Tang Dynasty had changed its strategy, he knew that Li Jing had a way to crack the urn city, and since it was all cracked, it was better to move to the head of the city and have a dignified battle with the Tang army to defend the city." ”
Although he doesn't look down on the so-called overall situation of the Yuan Pure Land, he still attaches great importance to the analysis of the Yuan Pure Land.
Moreover, on the way over, he also thought a lot, and gradually figured out some of the keys.
"That's cracked?" The guards were incredulous.
Ma Dudu shook his head helplessly when he heard this, and said, "What kind of ploy do you think this is?" The official couldn't figure it out before, but just when he saw that the Abyss Pure Land was just hearing the words, he immediately had an insight into what everything looked like, and he also figured it out.
In the final analysis, this is a conspiracy, it's not that Li Jing can't break the city, it's just that he is saving some face for the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
What urn city is not urn city......
That's it, taking a surprise is naturally twice the result with half the effort, but if the other party learns the specific situation, can you still think of a way?
We can't think of it, it's that we're really inferior to others.
Otherwise, why is someone a god of war?
We're not ......."
After saying that, Ma Dudu was also a little depressed.
This battle is a battle to the death for him and his men!
There is no other choice.
"Governor, the Tang army has attacked the city." At this moment, Xue Wanche led the army and killed him.
Seeing this, the guard hurriedly shouted.
However, Madudu did not speak, although he did not have any talents, but his eyes were not blind......
Thousands of troops rushed over, and he couldn't see it?
"Draw a bow, shoot an arrow! The old man wants to see if his soldiers in the Tang Dynasty are invulnerable! ”
While speaking, the soldiers who remained in the city drew their bows and arrows, since they chose to stay, it was a battle to the death, and everyone knew it very well in their hearts.
The benefits of Madurus not forcing those to stay became apparent.
Although the number of troops has been sharply reduced, the morale is good.
At least none of the people who are still in this city are greedy for life and afraid of death.
Not long after, the soldiers who were originally in ambush in Weng City also climbed to the top of the city.
However, there are more people among them, and there is no way to do it, this ambush in Weng City was originally based on the pro-soldiers brought by the Yuan Pure Land, and at this time the people followed the Yuan Pure Land, which is also understandable, but fortunately, those crossbows and incendiary bombs left them behind.
At this moment, the people were carrying these things to the top of the city.
"Divide the crossbows, one person with a pair of crossbows, two incendiary bombs, the old man wants to see how many lives the Tang Army has to use to fill my Beisha City!"
Ma Dudu was also ruthless, but judging from his deployment, this guy, in addition to being enthusiastic, is really a layman for fighting.
But even so, the defenders of Beisha City, armed with crossbows and incendiary bombs, made Xue Wanche suffer enough.
After all, the incendiary bomb was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, sticking to the body in a large piece.
That is to say, on this day, the weather is cold, if it is changed in the hot summer, this incendiary bomb alone can make Xue Wanche and the others cry bitterly.
"General, all the soldiers in this city are crazy today, right?" In the Tang army, one of his subordinates said, "The previous defense was not so crazy!" ”
Xue Wanche is also a siege vehicle that is the first two big, and he has pushed desperately, and many of them have been destroyed by the incendiary bombs on the city at this time.
If it was a siege vehicle on weekdays, it would not have this effect, but the siege vehicles he got today were all modified, and the siege vehicles were all hay, and their purpose was to fight poison with poison after breaking the city.
Aren't you planning to light a fire in Weng City, damn it, Lao Tzu will add another one to you.
But at this moment, these siege engines encounter incendiary bombs, which is called a powerless.
"Withdraw first, these guys are crazy." Xue Wanche saw that the siege vehicle could not advance with Ben, so he immediately ordered.
He was also angry in his heart, if he listened to him, he would have attacked the city last night, and those guys in Beisha City would definitely not be able to react.
Now it's okay, with so many siege vehicles under people's noses, can people not think of a way?
Moreover, those guys in the city today are a little abnormal, and he is afraid that he will fall into other people's schemes, so it is better to retreat first.
Seeing Xue Wanche retreating, the soldiers at the head of the city were extremely excited.
Dancing there and celebrating with their heads in hand.
And this scene of them happened to be caught by Li Jing on the opposite side with a telescope.
Seeing this, he finally showed a rare smile.
The big battle can be decided!
At this moment, Xue Wanche, who had retreated, came over and said with a dissatisfied face: "Dashuai, the last general said that he would attack the city last night, and by the night, they couldn't react at all, but now it's good, all our intentions have been exposed under the noses of others." ”
"General Xue doesn't need to worry, why don't you take a look first?" With that, Li Jing handed the telescope to Xue Wanche.
Xue Wanche was originally on fire in his belly, and when he heard him say this, he was even more angry, but when he saw the telescope handed over, somehow, the ghost sent the god to take it.
I saw that those guys on the other side were celebrating with their foreheads, good guys, they were about to drop the telescope on the ground immediately, who the are you laughing at?
Li Jing's eyes were quick, and he took the telescope in his hand, and then said: "General Xue, don't be annoyed, this is a good thing." ”
"A good thing?" Xue Wanche was dumbfounded, "What the hell is laughing at Lao Tzu for being incompetent, is this still a good thing?" ”
Li Jing shook his head and said, "General Xue, think about their reactions some time ago, and then think about their reactions today?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Xue Wanche seemed to have a sense of recollection.
"What do you mean is that they're really starting to defend the city now?"
"Wait, the news should come back soon." Li Jingzheng was talking, only to see two fast horses running towards him, and immediately smiled, "It's here." ”
"Marshal, the Duke of Yang Guo has sent a message, in Beisha City, half of the soldiers and horses have been evacuated, and the rest are only 3,000 soldiers and horses." As soon as Li Jing finished speaking, two fast horses stopped in front of the two of them, and one hurriedly turned over and dismounted and said.
When Li Jing heard this, he stroked his beard and said, "The old man knows, you go back immediately and tell the Duke of Yang Guo that at sunset, the city will be broken!" ”
On the side, Xue Wanche was a little stunned, and after the two fast horses left, he said with a blank face, "What's the situation in Beisha City?" Shouldn't this be the time to send troops to help? Why are you still withdrawing troops? ”
"Why don't you withdraw your troops?" Li Jing said with a smile, "The old man has calculated, there are thousands of soldiers and horses in Beisha City, what can he do to stop the tens of thousands of troops of my Datang?"
Strategically speaking, they have actually won, and the only purpose of Beisha City is to prevent our Tang soldiers from going north.
At this time, as long as we show that we can break their urn city, they will definitely withdraw their troops.
On the contrary, two or three thousand soldiers and horses were left, which made the old man a little puzzled.
The old man originally thought that as long as we put on this posture, those guys in Beisha City would all be evacuated.
What a mistake. ”
Speaking of this, Li Jing smiled again, "But it's okay, I finally don't have to find a way to break their urn city, but it saves the old man a lot of trouble." ”
"Didn't the marshal already come up with a way to crack the urn city?" Xue Wanche looked surprised.
Li Jing was more surprised than him: "When did the old man say that he could already crack the urn city?" ”
"Then yesterday ......" Xue Wanche was really dumbfounded.
"That's the way to break the city." Li Jing said, "They reproduce His Highness's style of play, and it is enough to stop the old man Yueyu, at this time, as long as we come up with a way to crack his urn city, in other words, as long as it is different from the previous siege method, they will think that the old man already has a way to crack the urn city."
Since the old man can crack it and their strategic purpose has been achieved, the people who should be withdrawn will naturally be withdrawn.
Since all the people who should be evacuated have been withdrawn, isn't this the way to break the city? ”
There is another sentence he didn't say, Li Chengqian's method can stop him for more than a month, which is enough in the eyes of many people.
If you really want to say it, it was never the urn city that blocked Li Jing, but Li Chengqian's face.
However, Xue Wanche was completely dumbfounded.
Fuck, how shameless are you, you haven't thought about how to crack the urn city after a long time of feelings?
Are you sure that others believe that you will definitely be able to crack the urn city?
What a confidence this is!
This Beisha city has not lost unjustly......
Of course, I thought so, but after Xue Wanche calmed down, he also thought about it.
Li Jing must have thought about how to crack the urn city, but he wouldn't say it.
As a general who leads troops to fight, who will not be able to resist pondering these methods of breaking the city?
It's just that because that person is Li Chengqian, even if he thinks of it, he won't say it.
In case Li Chengqian ascends the throne in the future, so he holds a grudge against him, and he is unlucky.
As for a guy like Li Jing, who has been stable all his life, how can he show off for the sake of showing off?
"Now, there are only 3,000 defenders at the head of the city, can you take this Beisha City?" Li Jing didn't say anything more, but looked at Xue Wanche and asked.
When Xue Wanche heard this, he also smiled heartily: "At the end of tonight, I will be in Beisha City, please drink with the big handsome." ”
After figuring out the situation, he was much more courageous.
"Go, this time, Ben Shuai will give you 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the Duke of Yang Guo will cooperate with you at sunset, and tonight, Ben Shuai will play for His Majesty in Beisha City."
Li Jing also looked relaxed.
At this point, there is hardly any suspense left in Beisha City.
As for the thousands of soldiers who stayed in the city, he really didn't pay attention to it.
If it weren't for the inextricable relationship between Beisha City and Li Chengqian before, he would have broken the city a long time ago.
has dragged on for so long, just to take care of Li Chengqian's face.
"The last general commands." After giving the salute, Xue Wanche rekindled his fighting spirit again and left with a murderous face.
Tonight is the time for him to make a difference!
And after he left, Li Jing also returned to his big tent, looking at the map on the wall, Li Jing frowned slightly.
Goguryeo held them back in Beisha for more than a month, and its purpose must have been to seek a greater victory.
But what exactly do they want to do?
"Someone." Li Jing shouted.
Not long after, a pro-soldier came in, and Li Jing said directly: "Send scouts to Anshi, Jian'an, and Jishi City to have a look, and Ben Shuai wants to know what kind of medicine is sold in Goguryeo gourd." ”
Why did he have to attack the city during the day, this was also one of the purposes.
As the commander of the troops, he needed to know one of Goguryeo's strategic intentions, so as to facilitate the deployment of troops behind him.
But Xue Wanche didn't care so much, and after ordering all the soldiers and horses, he arranged for a large army to attack the city.
There was no need to fight too hard, the army was divided into three waves, one wave attacked for a while, and without waiting for the defenders of Beisha City to breathe a sigh of relief, the second wave came again, followed by the third wave.
Anyway, he made up his mind to keep these guys in a highly tense combat state until sunset, and not give the enemy half a moment of rest.
Even Madutu and the two of them were determined to die to defend the city of Beisha.
But this kind of high-intensity combat also overwhelmed everyone.
"Damn, Tang Jun is here again." At the head of the city, a soldier had just sat on the ground, and an arrow flew over his head, and there was no need to think about it, the Tang army was attacking the city again.
At first, they were still a little enthusiastic, but by this time, they were almost running out of strength to draw their bows.
Defend the city, where is it so easy?
"If you insist on insisting, the old man won't believe it, won't the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty be tired." Ma Dudu also tried his best to cheer for everyone.
But he himself was so tired that he collapsed to the ground.
Xue Wanche sat in the rear, burned a large cage of fire, looked at the direction of the battlefield, and said with a shy: "You are defending the city in a fake way, Lao Tzu is still afraid of traps, but you are defending the city seriously, Lao Tzu can exhaust you to death if you are tired!" ”
"General, it's almost sunset." After he finished speaking, a subordinate reminded.
Looking at the sky, Xue Wanche said: "Inform the brothers, get ready, tonight, this city will be broken!" ”
Not long after, the sky was getting dark, and Xue Wanche didn't wait for Zhang Liang's movement, and took the lead in launching a general attack.
And Xue Wanche's army had just been killed, and above the city, when everyone was still dragging their tired bodies to resist the enemy, they saw a person running quickly and shouting: "Countless Tang troops have been killed in the Great Black Mountain!" ”
Zhang Liang came out of the Great Black Mountain!
Beisha City is built along the Great Black Mountain!
Zhang Liang, who has disappeared for a long time, has long since touched the Great Black Mountain.
For a time, the city of Beisha was under attack.
But even at this time, Ma Dudu shouted loudly: "Kill! Even if Beisha City falls, it will have to pull one more Tang Army back before dying! ”
"Kill!"
This killing is more or less tragic.
Xue Wanche's side, because of Zhang Liang's containment, also broke the city at the fastest speed and killed the city.
When he saw that Ma Dudu was still leading a few soldiers waving the weapons in his hands to resist the enemy, he shook his head and said, "The city of Beisha has been broken, and surrender will spare your lives!" ”
"Surrender?" Hearing this, Ma Du Du laughed, "This official is the Governor of Beisha City, and until he dies, he is also the Governor of Beisha City!" Kill! ”
After speaking, he raised the weapon in his hand and dragged his tired body towards Xue Wanche.
It's a pity that he didn't take two steps before he was hacked to death by the Tang Army.
And until he died, he pointed his finger at Xue Wanche, and whispered in his mouth: "Kill, kill, kill!" ”
Seeing this, the rest also raised their weapons and killed them one after another, but unfortunately, none of them could walk to Xue Wanche alive.
"It's a character, and he was buried thickly." Seeing this, Xue Wanche didn't have any mercy, but he said one more thing.
That night, Li Jing wrote a good news in Beisha City, which was sent back to Chang'an in a starry night with an expedited report of 800 miles.
So far, Beisha City, a great victory!
At this point, the Great War of Goguryeo has officially begun!
