Chapter 711: The gap is too big
"Oh, we'll see." Hearing that there were benefits to be gained, Li Qi laughed.
Yin Yuhu didn't think that Wen Zong would agree to his conditions in a letter. All he had to do was to continue the siege of the city, send all the disobedient people to the battlefield to die, and then continue to write a letter asking for help.
At the same time, Yin Yuhu also wrote a letter to the elders of the Yin clan who stayed in Kaijing City, asking them to contact more people, among whom the main one was the Li family, and to get their support as much as possible.
The Yin family really sent Li Qi a lot of gold and silver, which made Li Qi, who received the money soft, admire Meng Youde even more, and found him again and asked what to do next.
"Wait, the Dragon Heavenly King is about to make a move, and it will be difficult for Wenzong not to send troops at that time, even if you take the Yin family's money, you will have to make some efforts at that time, and then support the reinforcements." Meng Youde said with a determined face.
Li Qi's face was a little hesitant, "If reinforcements are sent, will the pressure on the Dragon Heavenly King be too great?"
"Hahaha, Master Li, you can rest assured, our Dragon Heavenly King has never been defeated in a war, just a Yin Yuhu, he will not take the slightest advantage."
Meng Youde was so confident that Li Qi was relieved, and nodded immediately, "Mr. Meng, please rest assured, if the court discusses the matter of increasing troops, this official will naturally help the Yin family speak."
Li Qi is taking people's money, of course, he has to speak for others.
Meng Youde instigated Li Qi to agree to send reinforcements, which was also what Su Shi meant. Taking advantage of the opportunity to defend the city, a large amount of Goryeo military strength will be consumed, and at the same time, it can also have the effect of training troops, why not?
As for the big move that Meng Youde said, he was referring to Su Shizheng's deployment of troops to take down Duanchuan City behind him.
Duanchuan City, located in the east of Moyunling, close to Jizhou of Liao, belongs to the border city.
When Su Shi settled in Goryeo and occupied Huangcaoling, Houzhiling and Moyunling, it was actually equivalent to isolating Duanchuan City.
The reason why he has not been taken down is not because Su Shi is soft, or he has no strength, but because he does not have enough soldiers.
With the help of the Goryeo army to attack Beiqingcheng, the rear construction of Sushi did not stop, and even the selection of peasant soldiers continued.
The Goryeo peasant soldiers who defended the city continued to have meritorious service, and then they became auxiliary soldiers and were sent back to the city, and there were more and more soldiers available to Su Shi.
Another day's siege of the city, the Goryeo army did not gain anything, but lost thousands of soldiers.
In the evening, the Goryeo army stopped attacking the city, and the two sides entered a standoff.
At night, Beiqingcheng was still brightly lit, but this time it was not a celebration, but Su Shi was ordering troops. A thousand auxiliaries and a thousand peasant soldiers stood on the square in the city, and they were assembled, ready to go out of the city at any time and go to the Duanchuan area.
The personnel arrived, and the family members said goodbye. The north gate of Beiqing City, which had been closed for a long time, suddenly opened from the inside, and then there was a shout of killing outside, and a regiment of dragoons who were responsible for receiving them began to drive away the Goryeo army guarding outside the North City Gate, and with this chaos, the two thousand dragon king army went out of the city.
Zhou Shu was in the team, and because of his good performance, he was the first batch of people who defected to Su Shi, and now he has become a battalion commander in the auxiliary army, and the battalion he led was the first army to go out of the city.
After the two thousand dragon kings left the city, the north gate was closed from the inside, and everything seemed to be back to normal.
In the Goryeo military camp, there was a sudden chaos outside the North City Gate, Yin Yuhu came out wearing armor, but when he had just ordered five thousand cavalry and was about to send them to see what was going on, the guards outside the North City Gate had already sent back the news, saying that they had repelled the attack of the Dragon King Army, and now the outside of the North City Gate had returned to normal.
"This should be a temptation for the Dragon King's army, and if you go down, all the armies will send more sentinels, and you must not give the enemy a chance to let them escape. Hey, the troops are a little insufficient, and we still need to send more reinforcements." In front of the generals and the overseer Jin Hao, after Yin Yuhu gave some orders, he shook his head, turned around and went back to the big tent to write a letter asking for help.
Jin Hao saw everything in his eyes, and he was a little shaken at this time.
Looking at these days, Yin Yuhu's siege has never stopped, there are losses every day, if it continues, just rely on the remaining more than 30,000 foot soldiers to capture a strong city like Beiqing, I'm afraid it really can't be done.
After thinking about it, Jin Hao also returned to the tent and wrote down the fact that the Dragon King's army broke through tonight, but it didn't succeed. There is also his own opinion in this, he thinks that this is because the Dragon Heavenly King can't withstand the pressure and wants to retreat.
If this is the case, if you want to achieve the fact of completely encircling and annihilating the Dragon Heavenly King's department, it is inevitable to increase the army.
The two letters were sent directly to Kaijing by a special person at dawn. At this time, in the area of Duanchuan City, Zhou Shu and others, who got a war horse when they got out of the city, had also come outside Duanchuan City.
Before Yin Yuhu attacked Beiqingcheng, Duanchuan City was sealed, and he was afraid that the army of the Dragon Heavenly King would come over.
But since the Goryeo army began to besiege Beiqingcheng, the army of the Dragon Heavenly King who had appeared outside the city suddenly disappeared, which made Zheng Han (Z), the Valerian official guarding Duanchuan City, gradually relax his high heart.
That is, the Goryeo army was dispatched, and Zheng Han thought that the Dragon King Army did not have the strength to come to trouble Duancheon City.
In addition, the city has been closed for many days, and there are already many gentry and landlords in the city who have a lot of complaints, so he ordered the city gate to be opened, but the people who enter the city must be strictly checked.
For several days in a row, nothing went wrong, and Zheng Han's heart was even more relaxed, so much so that when the city gate was inspected, he was also more relaxed.
Zhou Shu and the others came to the outside of the city, and their task was to infiltrate the city, join forces with the dragoons who came here with them, and take Duanchuan City.
Zhou Shu and the others were originally Koreans, and it was not difficult to enter the city, but the difficulty was how to bring weapons in, otherwise if they wanted to make trouble in the city with their bare hands, they would be a little less sure.
"Bribes."
After Zhou Shu discussed with Captain Feng Yidao, he came up with such a result.
By the 11th generation of Goryeo, the privileged class had already been formed, and it was the people at the bottom who really suffered. In comparison, the defenders were better than ordinary people, but only better.
They pointed to the little food that guarded the city gates, but they didn't have enough to eat. Once they meet officials with a big appetite, they will not distribute them truthfully, so they can only rely on the mountains to eat the mountains.
It's not that the soldiers who defend the city don't want to eat and take cards, but they can only be said to be very few.
Feng Yidao took out some broken silver that Su Shi had prepared when he took it out and said, "Take this with you." But remember, you can't take too much at once, or it won't be your identity."
"Understood. Zhou Shu and the others' eyes lit up, and they agreed to come down in one bite.
The trick of buying the road with money is really very useful, when Zhou Shu and the others came to Duanchuan City, although they were all unfamiliar faces, and they were strong men, according to Zheng Han's order before, they would never allow such a person to enter the city.
But money can make ghosts grind, when Zhou Shu and the three or five of them took out some broken silver, claiming that they entered the city to find relatives, those Goryeo officers and soldiers who defended the city adopted an attitude of turning a blind eye and did not even check the packages they carried.
It took three days for Zhou Shu and his two thousand people to infiltrate Duanchuan City in various capacities, and most importantly, none of the luggage they brought into the city was checked.
Three days later, on the night, as soon as the time for the scheduled action arrived, Tanchuan Castle, which had already entered the night, suddenly burst into flames everywhere, and chaos rose sharply.
If you look closely, you will find that the houses of the gentry and landlords in the city were burned, but the houses of the common people were not affected.
Zheng Yu, who had already fallen asleep, heard the chaotic sound outside, got dressed and came out to take a look, and what he saw was the scene of the fire, and he was shocked at the moment, and shouted repeatedly, "Quick, transfer all the officers and soldiers in the city and the officials to put out the fire, be quick."
The quality of Zheng Han's life and the gentry in the city can be said to be closely related to the landlords.
These people who oppress the people have money, and only then do they have the strength to honor themselves. If these people also become poor ghosts, his life will naturally not be easy.
As soon as the Valerian officer gave the order, the Goryeo troops in the city were mobilized and defended
Eighty percent of the city's soldiers were also transferred, and only a few dozen people were left to guard in front of a city gate.
"Kill."
Zhou Shu and the others, who were waiting for this opportunity, rushed out of the darkness.
Holding swords and guns in their hands, as soon as they appeared, they went straight to the defenders of the city, and before anyone arrived, the sound came first, the shouts were like thunder, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
Unlike the Goryeo Army, Zhou Shu and the others are now people with pursuits, and they have to work hard now in order to live a better life in the future.
One is to do your best, and the other is to give it your all.
One is premeditated, the other is unprepared.
On the one hand, he is strong and has high morale; On one side are the half-full officers and soldiers who only eat fish and meat for the common people.
At the moment when the two sides faced each other, the auxiliaries and peasant soldiers were pressing the officers and soldiers to kill. Only a quarter of an hour later, the west gate changed hands, and then the gate was opened, and the signal was given to the group of dragoons outside the city to enter the city.
Someone slaughtered in front of the city gates, trying to seize control. Zheng Yu reacted that he had fallen for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
Zheng Han, who was not willing to be restrained, didn't even save the fire, and took the officials and soldiers to kill at the city gate.
It takes time from the time the signal is given to the appearance of the dragoons. Zhou Shu and the others saw that there was a black and oppressive official army rushing not far away, and they gritted their teeth and rushed towards the other party.
It's time to really test them.
At this time, Zhou Shu and the others were lone soldiers, and there was no regular soldier of the Dragon King Army around them, so they had to rely on themselves.
But none of them flinched, and some had excitement in their eyes. This is a face-to-face fight, which is in line with the criteria for the Dragon King's army to choose regular soldiers, if they can slash and kill five Goryeo officers and soldiers, is it equivalent to them passing the final test, and they will also be one of the regular soldiers in the future?
