Liaodong City welcomed the long-lost sunshine, which was gorgeous and warm.
On the tall city wall, Qin Huaidao looks to the south. The white snow has melted a lot, and the road is unobstructed, but there is no one in the open wilderness. On the straight official road, a few wild wolves are looking for food, but they dare not approach the city.
He howled a few times and gradually walked away.
It had been five days since the capture of Liaodong City, and the enemy's counterattack had not yet arrived. Qin Huaidao even doubted Goguryeo's efficiency. Soldiers must be quick, so where is this "speed"?
However, it is a good thing that the enemy army has not come back for a long time. After a few days of rest, the army has recovered well and Liaodong City has been completely stabilized and cannot afford to cause trouble. But I wonder if the imperial court will send troops?
"Report——"
A shout came from Li Yixie, accompanied by a veteran Yu Linwei.
"Say!" Qin Huaidao looked at the Yulin guard.
The other party hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "General, I am a sergeant of the team beside Captain Fang. I have been ordered by Li to join the army to report that the new city has been conquered. The army has lost more than 1,500 people, and there are still 25,000 soldiers that can be occupied."
, please ask the general for instructions on how to act next."
"That's great, how lucky is the journey?" Qin Huaidao said happily. This team looked familiar. The information was unmistakable. There were actually 25,000 Khitan troops. Unexpectedly, since Goguryeo had not counterattacked yet,
There is still some time, and we must seize this window of time and ask: "Can the army still fight?"
"Can fight!"
"How are the supplies?"
"Countless grain, grass and equipment were seized in the new city, enough to last for about a month."
"One month is enough. I ordered Li to join the army and leave five thousand men to garrison the new city. Xue Wu will be the general. The rest of the army will attack Muti Prefecture. Mudi Prefecture is a small county with only three thousand defenders. It must be captured overnight and three thousand men left.
The rest of the army will continue to attack Yanjin and South Suzhou counties to ensure the stability of the north and prevent Shiwei from invading."
"Follow the order!" The other party quickly wrote it down.
Qin Huaidao warned seriously: "Tell Li Canjun that the north cannot be lost. As long as he holds the north, it will be a great achievement. In addition, recruit Goguryeo people to form a mercenary army, disguise themselves as Goguryeo deserters and break into Wei Wei. Tell Li Canjun that the opportunity is here."
Now, it depends on you how much territory you can conquer and how much achievements you can make."
"Thank you, General!" The other party was overjoyed, his eyes shining. For soldiers, this military order is a fighting opportunity, a military merit, and a future for promotion and promotion.
Isn't that what you want to do to serve as a soldier for thousands of miles?
"Is it safe on the road?" Qin Huaidao asked with concern.
"No problem, there is a team of brothers traveling with us."
"That's good." Qin Huaidao felt relieved. There were only fifty people in one team. Fifty ordinary members of the Yulin Army couldn't stop him. He said to Li Yixie: "Write what you just said into a military order, stamp it with a big seal, and give it to this brother to lead.
Go back, and in addition, take fifty guans of reward to share with everyone, it’s not easy to run between two places in freezing weather.”
"Follow the order!" Li Yixie promised with clasped fists. After Li Desjian left, Li Yixie took on the responsibility of joining the army.
"Thank you, General, for the reward!" The team was overjoyed. The money was not important. They had won a lot of victories during this period. Everyone got the reward and the silver was soft. There was no shortage of it, but this respect warmed people's hearts.
Li Yixie and his team were in a hurry.
Qin Huaidao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With Liaodong City in hand, it is equivalent to cutting off the northern part of Goguryeo. The five northern cities, Jinshan to the north and Xincheng to the south, have been captured. Yanjin is between the two cities. It is a small city. It is not difficult to capture. Mu
Dizhou is an isolated city to the east of Xincheng, and Nansuzhou is also an isolated city to the east of Jinshan.
It can be said that no matter which city is attacked, the other two cities will not be able to support it and will not be able to support it.
The opportunity has been given, and it depends on Li Derjian himself whether he can win it or not.
After taking Liaodong City, Huaiyuan was used as a material reserve point and was handed over to Xue Wanshu to lead troops to guard it. Zhi lost Sili and a thousand people also came to Liaodong City two days ago to prepare for the war. Looking at Li Yixie and the team leader who left,
He said with some envy: "Li Junjun has good luck."
"If I had known this, I should have gone to unify the Khitan and capture the five northern cities. The key is to recruit people from Goguryeo to attack Shiwei. If Shiwei was captured, our territory in the Tang Dynasty would be thousands of miles wider. What a great achievement this is.
." Cheng Chumo also said enviously.
"Do you want to open up new territories?" Qin Huaidao looked at Cheng Chumo and then at Zhi Liansi.
The two of them nodded quickly. As military generals, who wouldn't want to?
Yuchi Baolin also rushed to say: "General, opening up territory is the lifelong pursuit of every military general. Who doesn't want to be a fool? We have already torn a hole in Goguryeo. Next, go eastward? Or go south?"
"There is not enough time to advance eastward. Once we get deep into the hinterland of Goguryeo, the land to the south will roll back. It is estimated that it will take several days for the imperial decree to arrive. Everyone, please be prepared. If there is no enemy counterattack today, we will go south to Anshiju.
"Qin Huaidao said with a bit of murderous intent.
The situation in the north is excellent. If the south is also captured, the horizontal line above the T-shaped Goguryeo will be gone, and the army will be able to march eastward and enter Pyongyang. If Goguryeo is captured, a visit to the Tang Dynasty will not be in vain.
Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao became a little excited.
Yuchi Baolin said: "General, what we want is Li Derjian's achievements in opening up territories. This great contribution to Goguryeo belongs to the general. Are there any other opportunities?"
"This is not easy. There is also Mohe on Goguryeo, which is no smaller than Shiwei. There is a chance to win it together and incorporate the entire Eastern Region into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. How about it?" Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
"Okay, this is what you said." Yuchi Baolin was overjoyed.
"How about giving me this opportunity?" Zhi lost his mind and became less calm.
"That's not okay, Mr. An Guo. You are not young. Why don't you go home to entertain your grandson and give us the opportunity to be young? No one is allowed to argue with me about this matter." Cheng Chumo was not happy.
Zhi lost his thoughts and said not to be outdone: "I am old, and I may have this opportunity to go on an expedition in this life. How can you bear to watch me die with regret? You are not allowed to argue with me. Your contribution lies in the west, which is not a thousand-mile territory.
, but Wanli, Wanwanli, much better than here."
There were not many opportunities, and no one was willing to give in, so they started to quarrel.
Qin Huaidao didn't mind the healthy internal competition. He looked at everyone with a smile and didn't stop him. Suddenly he heard the sound of dense and low footsteps. He quickly looked around and saw that a huge army appeared on the official road without knowing when, with flags flying.
, the roar of horse hooves.
"Enemy attack——"
The soldiers in charge of the observation shouted and beat the gong as hard as they could. The soldiers who were resting rushed to the top of the city and rushed to their respective positions to wait.
Qin Huaidao stared ahead, his heart calming down.
If the enemy doesn't move, he doesn't know what the plot is. If he comes here now, it won't be a big fight, but it will be easier.
"Finally the wait is here." Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up with excitement and he shouted: "General, I will take people out of the city to fight for a fight. I will kill them to show off their power and strengthen our military morale."
"I am the one who takes the lead." Yuchi Baolin said fiercely.
"Don't make any noise, it will affect the general's thinking." Luo Zhang said in a deep voice.
Everyone reacted and stopped one after another. They looked at the enemy troops getting closer and closer outside the city and were eager to attack. Qin Huaidao had never fought such a frontal battle. He had done sneak attacks before. He was unsure. He looked at Zhi Shen Si Li and asked: "
Mr. An Guo, you are rich in experience, please tell me how the enemy will attack?"
"Siege warfare is relatively simple. Generally, we fight first. If our army dares not leave the city, they will scold us and weaken our army's morale. At the same time, we prepare siege equipment. If we go out to fight, we will try our army's depth. If we win, we can also inspire them.
Morale, if they lose, they are fighting to defend their territory, so it also boosts morale." Zhi Shisi Li reminded him tactfully.
Qin Huaidao understood. For Goguryeo, he was an invader and a bad guy. If he fought against the generals, regardless of winning or losing, it would arouse the hatred and anger of the Goguryeo soldiers. If he did not fight against the generals, the morale of his side would be weakened. How to choose?
All are beneficial to Goguryeo.
Cheng Chumo also figured out the reason and said angrily: "It's really troublesome. Is there any other way?"
"No, there is no solution to the fighting general's move." An Guogong continued with a sure look on his face: "It's time to attack the city after the siege equipment is completed. We can only fill it with lives. General, our troops are only over ten thousand, which is still too few.
, and Goguryeo claims to have an army of 600,000. Even if we kill hundreds of thousands of them, once the whole country is mobilized and recruited, it will not be a problem to collect one million, and we will not be able to defeat them with all our efforts."
Cheng Chumo rushed to say: "Calculating the time, the 10,000 troops arranged by the imperial court in Youzhou should arrive. Aren't there still 10,000 in Yunzhou? They can be recruited. Now that the road is open, they can arrive within ten days. There are 20,000 more.
In addition, Liaodong City is tall and strong, so if we don’t have a hundred thousand people to fill it in, we won’t be able to defeat us.”
"That's right, as long as there are 20,000 more, it will be no problem to defend for a month. Then the court will respond. We still have more than 20,000 Khitan defenders in the north, which adds up to 50,000 to 60,000. Don't even think about Goguryeo's 100,000.
If you defeat us, what are you afraid of?" Yuchi Baoqi also agreed.
Qin Huaidao looked at the enemy troops getting closer and closer, listened to everyone's arguments, and thought about countermeasures. He saw the Goguryeo army stopped and began to set up camp. This was to fight to the death. He responded quickly and attacked a Yulin guard not far away.
He said in a deep voice: "Call Li Yixie to send a letter in the name of this general to urge the incoming 10,000 troops to speed up. They must arrive at Liaodong City tomorrow, and then ask someone to inform the governor of Yingzhou, and ask the governor to help Feige pass the letter and adjust the clouds.
Another 10,000 troops from the state must arrive at Liaodong City within ten days."
Since the enemy wants to fight to the death, then adjust the plan and fight.
The matter in the north is so important that not a single soldier can be transferred to prevent Shi Wei from intervening.
Seeing the team member hurriedly leaving, Qin Huaidao's eyes were full of murderous intent, falling on Zhi Huan Si Li, and continued: "An Guogong, you have a calm personality and rich experience. From now on, you will take on the logistics responsibilities and free up space."
The wounded were placed in the open space, and the Goguryeo people in the city were recruited to help make feather arrows."
"What if you don't cooperate?" An Guogong reminded.
Qin Huaidao's eyes turned cold: "Arrest the ten richest families and officials in the city, put them in jail, and ransack their homes. These people are rich, powerful, and influential. We must prevent them from causing trouble, collaborating with foreign enemies, and destroying all grain stores and drug stores.
, iron shops, cloth shops, salt shops, and oil shops were all requisitioned, and the money from the confiscation of houses was used to pay for the cost. The rebels were killed without mercy. The war started, and the bones piled up. If we want to live, if we want to win, we must use heavy codes.
We must establish authority, but we must not kill indiscriminately. Using money to pay wages can improve efficiency and appease people's hearts. Food must be strictly controlled."
"According to the past rules, everything in the city is our spoils of war. You can just take it away. Even the people are our slaves. There is no need to pay money. The general is too benevolent." An Guogong reminded.
Of course Qin Huaidao knew the habits of this era, but he was not used to it. It was already the limit to arrest a group of people with hidden dangers and then forcefully requisition strategic materials. He waved his hand and gave a reason: "It can't be too much. To prevent the people from rebounding, let's fight together.
There can be no chaos in the rear."
"Understood, follow the order!" An Guogong reacted and accepted the order with cupped fists.
"Leave a thousand people with you to patrol the city at all times and implement curfews. You must stabilize the order in the city and keep the people from disorder. Go ahead." Qin Huaidao warned.
Duke An Guo left in a hurry.
"Dong dong dong!"
Suddenly, war drums roared outside the city, shaking the world. Immediately afterwards, a group of infantry slowly stepped forward. The leader was a general on a horse. He held a long sword and his silver armor reflected the light. When he got closer, he shouted loudly.
: "Tang Gou, do you dare to come out and fight!"
The voice is arrogant, domineering, and arrogant!
If it were in the past, Cheng Chumo and others would definitely not be able to bear the violent temper, but after listening to An Guogong's previous reminder, they knew that going out to fight in the city would be detrimental to them, so they remained silent and held a breath in their hearts.
Qin Huaidao smiled: "Are you interested in following me out of the city to fight?"
"Didn't I just say..." Everyone looked at Qin Huaidao in surprise.
"Worrying about whether we win or lose won't be good for us, right?"
Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "Then keep winning, keep challenging, kill all their generals, and make them scared. Without the generals to command, the enemy's combat effectiveness will be reduced to 30 to 40%. It will be beneficial to our army. If you don't kill them, you will watch."
, General, I have to go, I haven’t exercised for a long time, and all the bones in my body are getting rusty."
With that said, Qin Huaidao walked down the city wall, and Luo Zhang quickly followed.
Cheng Chumo and others were a little confused when they saw that Qin Huai Dao was serious. Cheng Chubi suddenly reacted and reminded: "Brothers, Brother Qin always makes plans before he acts. This move must have deep meaning. Why do you think so much? Just follow it. You guys
If not, I will go."
"That makes sense, let's go!"
Everyone reacted and quickly followed.
Everyone got off the city wall, mounted their horses and came to the city gate. Qin Huaidao looked at the few people following him, as well as a hundred Yulin guards. Cheng Chumo was mobilizing troops and reminded him: "Arrange a thousand people to guard the city gate.
If the enemy takes the opportunity to cover up the attack and comes in, shoot him."
"Understood!" Cheng Chumo quickly agreed.
"The Yulin Guards are also staying. We just need to leave the city and open the city gate." Qin Huaidao shouted, picked up the two swords and carried them behind his back, tied them up, and held the stainless steel horse in his hand. Since they were built, there has been no blood.
It's just a moment of sharpness.
The south-facing city gate leads to the direction of Goguryeo, and does not want to face the west gate in the Tang Dynasty. The city gate opening is not blocked by huge stones, but is made of thick hardwood covered with iron. It can be opened from both sides and is also very strong. Once it is opened from
There are several horizontal bars stuck inside, making it difficult to break open.
Not long after, the city gate slowly opened.
Qin Huaidao clamped his legs, and the horses slowly left the city in tacit agreement.
The three Cheng brothers, the two Yuchi brothers and Luo Zhang quickly followed. The six of them lined up in a row, keeping a certain distance from Qin Huaidao, and stared ahead warily.
Li Yixie arrived just in time. When he saw this scene, he rushed to the top of the city, picked up the drumstick and shouted: "Drum, cheer!"
"Here!" several warriors responded loudly.
"Dong dong dong!"
Soon, the war drums roared, low, rich, and shocking.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
When the soldiers saw that the general had come out of the city to fight with only five men, they immediately became enthusiastic and their morale was greatly boosted.
Qin Huaidao moved forward slowly, looked back at the city head, without stopping him, signaled Cheng Chumo and the others to stop, then looked at the enemy general, his eyes narrowed, and murderous intent burst out.
"Who is coming? Tell me your name -" the enemy general yelled.
Qin Huaidao didn't pay attention to the other party. He was just a dead man. He didn't know too much. He touched the sweat and blood of the BMW and Bai Ti Wu said softly: "Sage General, you are a gift to me. During this time, heavy snow has blocked the road and made walking difficult. I feel wronged to you. Today
, how about you and I fighting side by side and becoming famous all over the world?"
"Herod!"
The war horse channeled the spirit, roared joyfully, and rose into the air.
The next moment, the White-tied Crow turned into a black light and rushed forward at full speed. Qin Huaidao was shocked. He didn't expect it to be so fast. He quickly reacted and was overjoyed. He straightened up the stainless steel spear in his hand and stabbed fiercely.
past.
The enemy general did not expect that Qin Huaidao would attack immediately without warning. He simply had no martial ethics. He did not expect that the horse was so fast. By the time he reacted, he was already close. He hurriedly slashed with his sword. As soon as he raised it, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
The pain made his body rise into the air.
The next moment, the enemy general hit the ground hard, his vision went dark, and he lost consciousness for an instant.
One move, instant kill!
Qin Huaidao stopped his horse and stood proudly, his eyes cold and domineering.
The horse tree drooped, dripped with blood, and turned into a flower of death.
Jing, deathly silence!
The enemy troops were shocked by Qin Huaidao's powerful force. They dared to come out to challenge the extraordinary force of nature, but they were knocked down by one move. How could it be possible?
"good!"
On the top of the city, when the soldiers saw that their general had established his power in a battle, they all became fanatical, shouting, and the war drums beat loudly, as if they were going to shatter the sky.
On the battlefield, Qin Huaidao pointed at the horse in his hand and shouted: "Who dares to fight?"
"I'll fight you."
With a roar, the enemy army rushed out a general. He was so tall that it was difficult to hold the war horse. He looked like a powerful general, with a big gourd and hammer in one hand, and eyes as big as copper bells.
Yaya screamed: "Kill my brother, I will give you a hammer from your grandfather."
"Herod!"
Before Qin Huaidao could get angry, the sweaty horse and white-tied crow became angry first and rushed over. Qin Huaidao was also unequivocal. With the help of his horse power, he swept through thousands of troops and lashed out, going straight to the opponent's abdomen. This part was difficult to avoid on horseback.
, can only be carried with weapons.
The horse's shaft is long and the iron hammer is short. If you attack it, you will save it.
The strong man screamed strangely, and a big golden melon hammer swept over to block the route of the horse. The other big golden melon hammer was raised high, ready to hit Qin Huaidao, and a proud sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Regarding strength, strong men are very confident in themselves.
"Boom!"
There was a heavy impact sound, like thunder in summer, the stainless steel horse hammer hit the strong man's big golden melon hammer hard, the violent force swept over, the hammer flew away, the stainless steel horse hammer continued unabated, and fiercely
Hit the strong man hard in the chest.
The majestic man weighing more than 100 kilograms suddenly flew out like a kite. He was in the air, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out. He quickly fell to the ground, his body twitched a few times, and there was no movement.
When it comes to strength, Qin Huaidao is not afraid of anyone.
When he first came to this world, he found that his power was growing every day. Qin Huaidao didn't even know how big it was now. He only used 70% of his power in the previous attack.
But this terrifying blow once again plunged the battlefield into deathly silence.
The enemy looked at Qin Huaidao with a hint of panic in his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost. The majestic man was famous in Goguryeo and had unparalleled strength, but he was actually knocked away with one move. How terrifying was his opponent's strength?
At this moment, no one from the enemy army dared to come out to fight, and the silence was a bit scary.
On the top of the city, when the soldiers saw Qin Huaidao killing the enemy general in seconds, they cheered like a mountain and a tsunami, and their morale soared.
Cheng Chumo and others looked at this scene and were secretly surprised. The six of them exchanged looks and were shocked by Qin Huaidao's power. They realized that they had underestimated Qin Huaidao's combat power. Cheng Chumo looked at Luo Zhang and asked in a low voice: "Luo Zhang, you follow Qin Huaidao every day."
Brother, you know best, when did his force become so strong?"
"Fighting on foot, stronger!" Luo Zhang spit out two words coldly. Thinking of the swordsmanship and training methods taught by Qin Huaidao, his blood boiled. He clamped the horse's belly with his legs and shouted: "Uncle, can you let me do it?"
Qin Huaidao didn't want to dampen Luo Zhang's enthusiasm. Anyway, he was holding the battle from the side and could not rescue him in time. He turned his horse's head and retreated, while warning: "Be careful!"
"Thank you, uncle!" Luo Zhang expressed gratitude, urged his horse forward, and shouted: "You guys, are there any of you who are not afraid of death and come out to fight?"
There was a dead silence in the Goguryeo army formation. Only the flags were flying and blowing. No one came out to fight. A feeling of sadness and anger quietly filled the air.
Luo Zhang saw that he finally had the opportunity to become famous, but no one came out to die. He was unhappy and shouted loudly: "You bunch of cowards, listen to me. I killed your prince. Come here if you want to take revenge."
, if you are afraid of death, go back and tell your king to wash his neck and wait for death, I will definitely chop off his head."
"boom--"
The Goguryeo army suddenly exploded into an uproar.
The so-called prince was the general he met when he entered Liaodong City, and his identity was later found out.
When Qin Huaidao saw that Luo Zhang went to war to provoke Goguryeo, he also tried his best. If the enemy army did not dare to go to war after hearing that the prince was beheaded and the king was insulted, then the Goguryeo army had nothing to worry about and did not stop them. They were on guard and kept silent to Cheng Chumo.
The others warned: "Get ready to fight!"
"Follow the order." Cheng Chumo and others agreed excitedly, eager to give it a try.
"Thieves of the Tang Dynasty, please stop being so arrogant and accept your fate."
With a roar, a general rushed out of the enemy formation with extraordinary momentum.
Luo Zhang stared at the other person without answering. When he saw that he was holding a horse spear, a sword at his waist, and a suit of extraordinary armor, he should be a general with a high status. His eyes suddenly lit up, he clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and shouted: "
kill--"
The war horse channeled the spirit, spread its hooves and rushed forward.
The two horses staggered instantly. Luo Zhang lowered his body, almost resting on the horse's neck. The enemy general's horse swept over Luo Zhang's head, but missed.
In the midst of the lightning and flint, a sneer appeared on the corner of Luo Zhang's mouth. Without looking back, the horse in his hand struck out like lightning, like a giant python coming out of its hole, stabbing with the momentum of penetrating everything.
"Poof!" sounded.
The horse stabbed the enemy general in the back, tore open his armor, and penetrated his body, bringing out a stream of blood.
The two horses were running in opposite directions, and the distance was widened. Just now, one shot could kill their opponent.
In order to frighten the enemy, Luo Zhang came up with a unique skill passed down from his family - the carbine!
It's a pity that the shooting speed was just a hair's breadth away, so he couldn't kill instantly!
But even this made all the enemies shocked and even more panicked. The enemy general rushed his horse and stopped a short distance away. Covering his wounds, he looked at Luo Zhang in disbelief and shouted: "Return to the carbine, are you a member of the Luo family?"
"It's good to know. Come back and see the gun!" Luo Zhang shouted, clapped his horse and rushed forward.
"I'm afraid if you don't succeed, I'll kill you——"
Not to be outdone, the enemy general charged forward with his horse.
