The unexpected news that Shiwei was dispatching troops strengthened Qin Huaidao's determination to steal the camp.
It's like playing Go. If Liaodong City is slow to get out of its trap, if it comes to life, Goguryeo and Shiwei will be able to cause a murderous disaster, trapping Li Derjian and the others to death. Only if Liaodong City is alive, the north and south can respond, without worries, and can concentrate on the outside world.
, all the talents come alive.
What's more important is that the food in the city cannot last for a few days. Only An Guogong and Qin Huaidao have this news. They dare not reveal it. If they do not relieve the siege and do not kill the enemy troops outside the city, over time, the morale of the army will inevitably be weakened, especially the 10,000 hired soldiers.
Once the army runs out of food, it will definitely be in chaos. It's time to make changes.
The screen was turned over again, and everyone looked at Qin Huaidao and pricked up their ears.
Qin Huaidao didn't talk nonsense, looked at Zhi Huan Si Li and said: "Dong An Guo, I need you to lead a thousand people to stay behind to ensure that the rear is not lost, okay?"
"Don't worry, I promise to complete the mission." Anguo Gong solemnly promised. Although going out to fight in the city would have greater credit, after taking over the logistics during this period, he realized that he was getting old and was fighting in battle like this. It would be better to make friends with the future dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty in front of him.
, leave a good karma, and have no worries for the rest of your life, which is much better than going into battle to kill the enemy.
After determining the issue of staying behind, Qin Huaidao was determined. He drew several offensive routes on the drawing and said: "The general is determined to leave the city tonight and attack the enemy camp at night. He has only one purpose, to create panic and bomb the camp. If
If it works, the outcome will be decided in one battle. If it doesn’t work, it can kill the enemy on a large scale and then return to the city. What do you think?"
The ugly time is between one o'clock and three o'clock in the morning. This is the time when people are most sleepy, relaxed and careless.
Everyone's eyes lit up and they were a little tempted.
Killing 60,000 to 70,000 people in a battle was difficult to achieve even in a night attack, but bombing a camp was different. The key question was whether it was possible to form a bombing camp? Everyone looked at Qin Huaidao curiously, and Yuchi Baolin expressed everyone's thoughts: "General, brother
We are full of courage and dare not do anything. The main thing is how to create panic and form a bombing camp?"
"General, I have a plan you can try. Even if it fails, it won't hurt." Qin Huaidao said confidently.
At this moment, everyone suddenly thought of the Liujiabao avalanche and the bombing of the camp caused by burning food in the small fishing village. They had no doubt about Qin Huaidao's ability and their interest was greatly increased.
Qin Huaidao was not pretentious and said bluntly: "The biggest obstacle to bombing the camp is light. If you can see clearly, it is impossible to bomb the camp. Therefore, the enemy's lighting torches must be destroyed as soon as possible. But in this way, it will be difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. In view of this
, all attacking troops have white cloth tied around their necks. The white cloth is conspicuous at night and easy to identify."
Everyone's eyes lit up and they laughed.
"This method is very good. As long as you can distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, brothers rush in and just kill. The enemy cannot understand whether the people around him are enemies or friends, so they will inevitably panic and kill each other, forming an explosive camp." Yuchi Baolin praised.
"Since we have no objection, let's talk about the tactical arrangements." Qin Huaidao glanced at everyone and said seriously: "Two thousand forbidden troops are attacking the western camp. There is an enemy tent here. I'm afraid the King of Goguryeo is inside, with about 30,000 troops. But
Dare to fight?"
"Why don't you dare? Don't worry, general." Yuchi Baolin said, patting his chest. His eyes lit up when he thought of the possibility of capturing the King of Goguryeo, and he wished he could rush forward immediately.
Everyone was a little envious, but it was only envy. After all, the 30,000 defenders could stay with the King of Goguryeo. The combat effectiveness of the defenders should not be underestimated. It was a risk with their lives.
Qin Huaidao pointed to the drawing and said: "Attack from this direction. There are no archers here. What you have to do is not to kill many people, but to destroy the torches as quickly as possible and go straight to the enemy's tent, which is here. The impact will be certain."
Be quick and don't give the enemy time to react." He pointed to a location.
Yuchi Baolin quickly wrote down the route and location, nodded solemnly, but still expressed his worries: "General, if you go straight to the enemy's tent, there is a possibility of being surrounded, and you may be overwhelmed before you reach it."
"So there is only one word for your combat core, hurry up!" Qin Huaidao reminded him coldly, his eyes immediately fell on Chu Liang and Chu Bi, and added: "You two each lead a thousand men, and Yuchi Baolin finished the glyph and moved forward.
Rush, destroy the torches and create chaos at the same time, block the enemies that may sweep up from both sides, and cover Yuchi Baolin."
"Follow the order!" the brothers apologized.
Qin Huaidao reminded uneasily: "Yu Chi Baolin, with the two brothers from the Cheng family covering the two wings behind you, you will be under much less pressure. As long as you rush hard enough and fast enough, you will scare the King of Goguryeo and run away. As soon as the King of Goguryeo leaves,
If the command of the army is in disarray, our army will have an 80% chance of victory."
"Understood, is the King of Goguryeo dead or alive?" Yuchi Baolin asked excitedly.
"No matter life or death, as long as I win, destroying the command is the first task. If the King of Goguryeo escapes, don't pursue him and continue to create chaos. This general has understood clearly in this battle. Although the King of Goguryeo has some means, he has no military knowledge.
If you are familiar with it, it would be more beneficial for us to go back alive, but it would not be good to replace him with someone who understands military affairs." Qin Huaidao explained with murderous intent.
"Follow the order!" Yuchi Baolin felt a little regretful, but did not object again.
Military orders are like mountains, and the overall situation is paramount!
As a general, Yuchi Baolin knew the truth. Qin Huaidao glanced at the Yuchi brothers, his eyes fell on Luo Zhang, and continued: "The mercenaries are divided into three groups, each group has 3,000 people. Is that okay?"
"There were some casualties in the previous battle, but the number of nine thousand is no problem." Luo Zhang agreed.
"Remember the attack route, and tell the mercenaries when you go back that this battle is crucial. If you lose, no one will survive, and you won't get a penny reward. If you win, you will get two guilds for one head. The dead will be compensated 20 guilds, and the seriously injured will be compensated 10 guilds."
"Guan, no." Qin Huaidao solemnly reminded that he would not give any minor injuries, just to stimulate everyone to fight desperately.
"Follow the order!" Luo Zhang kept the route firmly in mind.
Qin Huaidao saw that Li Yixie was eager to try. It would be a waste to keep such a tiger general by his side, so he said: "Li Yixie, you go with the mercenaries attacking the south gate. There are slightly more enemies at the south gate, so take the Yulin Guards with you."
"As ordered, thank you General." Li Yixie thought he would stay in the city and sit on the bench, but he was overjoyed.
With generals like Li Yixie around, the south gate won't be a big problem. Qin Huaidao looked at Luo Zhang again: "You personally lead the team to attack the east gate. As for the north gate, the enemy has the least strength, but you can't be careless. Make careful arrangements after you go back.
Explain clearly how to fight without making any mistakes."
Luo Zhang quickly nodded and agreed.
Seeing that it was almost done, Qin Huaidao said: "Everyone, please hurry up in this battle. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. Therefore, everyone must be mobilized before the battle. The city wall will be defended by An Guogong with a thousand people. If the enemy attacks, it will not be destroyed."
People and others are not allowed to disarm, eat and drink enough, prepare white cloth, sharpen your swords and guns, take a good sleep, and recuperate your energy, send troops when you are in trouble, and behead those who delay, go ahead."
"Obey the order!" Everyone accepted the order and hurried away.
Qin Huaidao was soon the only one left in the huge hall. He was looking at the drawings in deep thought, making crazy calculations in his mind, deducing whether there were any problems with the night attack route, how the enemy would counterattack, whether the troops were sufficient, etc.
Before starting the fight, think about everything and prepare for a rainy day!
After the fight starts, don’t think about anything, just do it!
…
Almost at the same time, Anshi Prefecture.
The warm winter sun shines quietly on the city wall, bringing a bit of warmth to the city. The people in the city still dare not open the door and stay at home. The shops on the empty streets are closed, and only one patrol team is patrolling the city.
While cruising, the past bustle is no longer there, it is quiet and people seep in.
On the wall of the south city gate, Cheng Chumo led a team to guard the city. The soldiers all put on the armor of the city defenders. At first glance, they looked no different from the Goguryeo army. To ensure nothing went wrong, the prefect Zhu Zicheng was also pulled over. The surrounding houses were requisitioned and hidden.
Full of archers on standby.
Looking at the quiet official road in front of him, Cheng Chumo became a little anxious. He stared at Zhu Zicheng impatiently and said, "It's already half an hour past the allotted time. Why haven't we seen the food transport team come yet?"
Zhu Zicheng didn't know what he was willing to do. He was worried that the food transport team would know that Anshi Prefecture was captured and return the same way, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. Who knows what kind of treatment he would receive without food? He could only persuade him with a smile: "
General, please be patient. If there is no food, what will the troops on the front line eat? What will the defenders in the city eat? Therefore, this food must be transported here. Wait, wait."
"Wait another half hour. If you don't come, don't blame me for being rude." Cheng Chumo threatened. Although the last batch of food was recovered, it was only enough for 10,000 troops for five days. It was far from enough. Okay.
A lot of silver and grain were copied from the houses of wealthy households in the city. It would not be a big problem for the army to last for more than ten days. The silver rewards were also distributed, and the morale of the army was temporarily stable.
But Cheng Chumo knew that there was not much food in Liaodong City, so it would be good to intercept more batches.
"I wonder what's going on in Liaodong City now?"
Thinking of the safety of Liaodong City, Cheng Chumo became even more impatient and punched the wall. Suddenly he saw a long team appearing at the end of the official road. His eyes suddenly opened wide, staring at them, and he became excited: "Send the order, prepare to fight."
"Follow the order!" a captain responded excitedly.
"Finally we're here." Cheng Chumo said, in a good mood. Looking at the long queue, there must be a lot of food. He said to Zhu Zicheng: "Generally, how will you receive food when it is transported into the city?"
"Open the city gate and take it directly to the granary."
"You don't need to send someone to verify your identity. Why don't you go down and connect?"
"No, the grain will be transported to the granary. After the inventory is completed, the person in charge can go directly to the city guard's mansion to complete the relevant procedures." Zhu Zicheng explained quickly.
"It's best not to lie. If the grain transportation team discovers that the process is not right and runs away, don't blame me for not being trustworthy." Cheng Chumo threatened, staring closely at the grain transportation team coming in front, and tightened his grip on the horse.
After waiting for a while, the grain transport team slowly came over. Seeing the door open, they went straight into the city without thinking. After all, Anshi Prefecture was an inner city, not a front line. There were 100,000 troops surrounding Liaodong City, so the grain transport team didn't care.
Suspicious, Cheng Chumo looked at the grain transport team entering the city and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
There are about 500 people in front of the grain transport team, responsible for clearing the way. There is no one in the middle of the grain transport team, they are all civilian workers hired to drive the trucks. There are about 500 people behind the grain transport team, with a total force of 1,000, which is considered normal operation. Waiting for the front
After all five hundred people entered the city, Cheng Chumo raised his big hand high and cut hard.
The archers hiding in the houses saw the signal and attacked decisively, with arrows flying towards them.
Nearly a thousand people took action at the same time, and the attack power was so terrifying. A thousand feather arrows instantly enveloped the enemy troops, and most of them fell down. Before they could react, another burst of feather arrows came over, extremely fierce.
The enemy troops were all in the open, with no place to hide, and something happened suddenly. After two rounds of arrows, most of them fell down, and the rest turned around and ran away. However, the city gate was blocked by a grain truck. They had to go out at all. The third round of arrows rained.
The roar came, followed by the fourth round, and all five hundred people were shot dead in the blink of an eye.
The cavalry who were hiding behind the houses also rushed up to inflict wounds on the undead enemies. The people on the city wall also rushed down, pulled away the grain carts, and cleared the passage. The cavalry rushed out of the city as planned and killed the others.
The peasants who were driving the carriage were frightened when they saw this scene and hid under the carriage.
One thousand cavalrymen did not kill the civilians, but went straight to the 500 people behind the team. The 500 people reacted, turned around and ran away. How could the soldiers allow the fat in their mouths to fly away and beat their horses to catch up?
In the city, another team rushed out of the city to control the carriage, and the people gathered together. Zhu Zicheng also rushed out of the city to appease the people and avoid indiscriminate killing. Cheng Chumo did not stop him and followed him out and said: "Prefect Zhu, please don't panic and feel at ease."
Transport the grain to the granary, and I will let them go back."
Unrelated people are left to waste food, and they cannot be killed indiscriminately. As for the news of robbing food, even if another 500 people are killed, it cannot be blocked. If no one goes back, it will arouse suspicion.
"Thank you, General." Zhu Zicheng was overjoyed and quickly translated to calm everyone down.
The grain transport team quickly took action to transport the grain back to the granary. Everything was according to plan. Cheng Chumo watched the carts of grain being pulled into the city. It must have tens of thousands of stones, enough to feed the army for a while, so he asked the troops to help.
Ship it in quickly, just in case.
Not long after, the cavalry roared in, and everyone was excited. A captain came up, clasped his fists and said, "General, kill all the enemy troops."
"Quickly, be alert, just in case."
"Follow the order!" The other party quickly gave the order, and a thousand cavalry dispersed, staring eagerly at the front of the official road. All the food had not yet been transported into the city, so they should not be careless.
There are too many vehicles, and the city gate is so big that they have to enter one by one.
About half an hour later, all the grain transport convoys entered the city. Cheng Chumo felt relieved and led the cavalry into the city. He closed the city gate and went to the granary to continue watching. He asked some soldiers to go up and help unload the grain until all the grain was put into the warehouse and the people were released.
After leaving in the carriage, Cheng Chumo felt completely relieved.
With these ten thousand stones of food in hand, his confidence increased greatly, and he decisively ordered: "Send the order, push down the earth to seal the city gate, and prepare to defend it to the death. There must be no mistake."
"Obey the order!" The soldiers immediately accepted the order and rushed to their respective posts.
Cheng Chumo brought a group of people to the workshop to supervise the making of feather arrows.
The craftsmen in the city, young and strong, were recruited last night. In order to make everyone feel at ease and work actively, everyone was given a lot of money, and they were all working hard to make feathers and arrows. The wood and iron materials were collected from the city guard's house and the homes of wealthy families.
Defending the city is impossible without feathered arrows.
…
Different from Cheng Chumo's stubborn defense, Fang Yiai completely let go without restraint, leading five thousand Khitan troops on the road overnight, one person and two horses, the horses stopped and the people did not rest, and they rode wildly all the way.
At dusk the next day, I came to rest in the woods north of Jinshan City and was eating dry food. The person in charge of the investigation hurried over: "General, we found Shiwei cavalry in the valley ahead, heading towards Jinshan City. There are about two thousand people.
He brought food and grass with him, but he didn't even send out scouts, so he walked very slowly."
"That's great." Fang Yiai was overjoyed, and immediately the anxious officers gathered around him. He followed Qin Huaidao for a while, not only talking about the plenary meeting, but also learned some methods. He said seriously: "Listen up, everyone, this is a big deal.
If the fish is unprepared, it is not difficult to catch it.”
Everyone nodded, but morale was not high.
In any case, we are all Khitan people. We join the Tang army because we yearn for the prosperous life of the Tang Dynasty. What is the point of attacking Shiwei? None of them have the motivation to fight.
Fang Yiai had been in contact with the Khitan people for so long and was already familiar with their mentality. She reminded: "These people must have come from Fuyu. With the behavior of the Shiwei people, they have never robbed anything. They must have no shortage of gold and silver.
Send the order and kill everyone. I will not take any of the treasures. I will reward you on a per-head basis. The more you kill, the more you take. Anyone who robs property during the battle, falsely reports military exploits, or hides property will be killed without mercy. This is also my general.
I’ll set some rules for you to fight in the future, and you’ll act according to them in the future. Do you have any opinions?”
"Follow the order!" As soon as everyone heard this, their eyes lit up and they became motivated to fight.
Yili moves people and is most suitable for the Khitan army.
Fang Yiai didn't think so. She just remembered that Qin Huaidao used money to hire people to fight. Both the Xi tribe and the Khitan people responded one after another, so he used this to boost the morale of the army. When he saw that everyone was enthusiastic, they were gearing up and preparing for a big fight.
Without thinking much, he said: "Give me the order, gather the troops, and do the damn thing."
It has to be said that Fang Yiai's acting style and personality are very suitable for the Khitan people. They took action one by one, gathered the troops, and forwarded Fang Yiai's military orders. When the soldiers heard about it, they were rewarded with silver coins, and how many full points were captured.
The division of heads is not based on military rank. They are very motivated and excited.
Soon, the team rushed out of the woods and rushed forward under the guidance of the scouts.
Not long after, a valley appeared in front, and a team was walking slowly. Maybe they heard the sound of horse hooves, and someone came to check. Fang Yiai saw that it was a sneak attack from behind, not a head-on collision. His confidence increased and he shouted excitedly.
: "Charge up and kill them all!"
"kill!"
Everyone roared and drew their bows and arrows. This Khitan army was all good at riding and shooting, and was also good at riding on horseback. They roared and rushed forward, and when they entered the shooting range, they decisively released arrows.
Shi Weijun quickly turned his horse around and took out his bow and arrow, but the horse speed did not rise and was almost like a fixed target. The Khitan people came under a hail of arrows and many fell down, while the Khitan people and horses were at full speed. The speed was very fast and it was not easy to shoot.
middle.
The Khitans almost overpowered the Shiwei people and rushed up to kill them in an instant.
Fang Yiai took the lead. He rushed forward and shot an enemy general away with one shot. Ma Shan swept over and tore the two of them apart with his sharp blade. He then spun around and hacked away another person with a powerful momentum.
Seeing Fang Yiai's bravery, the Khitan people were stimulated to fight. In addition, they were afraid that Fang Yiai would have an accident, so they could not explain to the Tang army. They cut off their escape route and chased Fang Yiai with all their strength, protecting Fang Yiai as he moved forward.
Rush and hit hard.
Fang Yiai hated others protecting her the most, and she longed for a fight. She rushed forward with all her strength to get rid of the protection, and the horse in her hand shot repeatedly, but no one could catch it.
Everyone was startled and hurriedly chased him.
In this way, even if you chase me, it's almost as if you are risking your life, but your combat effectiveness will skyrocket.
The Shiwei people did not expect that this team was so fierce. Almost everyone was fighting for the lead. They were all frightened and retreated one after another.
After retreating, the people behind did not know the situation and thought they had failed, so they also retreated. In addition, the canyon was not big and they could not disperse and run. The retreat quickly turned into a general retreat, just like a rout.
Seeing that the enemy was about to run away, Fang Yiai suddenly became unhappy. He hadn't killed enough yet and shouted angrily: "Don't run away. Stop here. Who will fight me for 300 rounds?"
The war horse felt Fang Yiai's fighting spirit and was stimulated to rush forward. In this way, the Khitan army also rushed and fought fiercely. For a moment, the morale was like a rainbow.
Five thousand beat two thousand, and Fang Yiai rushed forward desperately to kill, which boosted morale.
Soon, Shi Wei's army was completely defeated.
Fang Yi likes not to take opportunities easily, so how can he let them go? He led everyone in pursuit and shouted: "It's all money, don't let any of them get away."
As soon as everyone heard the money, their fatigue disappeared instantly. They rushed forward one by one as if they had been given blood, and kept shooting. After they rushed out of the valley, their strength advantage came into play. Everyone scattered in pursuit, and arrows rained down, killing the enemy.
They all fell off their horses and fled forward in panic.
After chasing for several miles at a stretch, until everyone was killed, Fang Yiai suddenly felt relieved and exclaimed, leading his troops back while collecting the loot along the way. Ma must bring spare money and money hidden on his body.
You can't let it go. The Khitan army is very skilled in this.
After returning to the canyon, the team excitedly rushed forward to clean up the battlefield without giving any orders.
Not long after, all the loot was collected and piled up in the open area, and the war horses were also driven together. Fang Yiai looked at the carts of grain, thinking that it might be useful in the future, and ordered: "Carry the grain on the war horses, can you
How much is the load, just in case, take all the arrows that can be used, and count the money to see how much there is?"
The troops moved into action, carrying food and putting it on horseback. Some people went to collect arrows for later use, and several officers gathered together to tally up the money.
Not long after, the money was counted, and there were more than three thousand coins, which meant that each head was worth one and a half. Fang Yiai asked the officer to count everyone's results. As long as the total number matched, he didn't care whether there was an overreport.
If you have any opinions, that's fine, and the money will be distributed immediately.
When everyone saw that Fang Yiai kept his word and actually handed out money and cashed it out on the spot, military morale was greatly boosted.
Not long after, the money was distributed and a lot of food was carried. The remaining ones were piled together and burned. Fang Yiai looked in the direction of Jinshan City and then in the direction of Fuyu City. He motioned to the generals to come over and said: "Everyone, can you do it?"
Are you going to fight something bigger with this general?"
"General, please give me your instructions." Everyone said one after another, their eyes shining brightly.
"We have our people in Jinshan City, and there is no money or money. Fuyu has been wiped out by Shiwei, and there is no money and money. Let's go to Shiwei and raid their lair. We will reward everything we capture based on merit. Do you want to do it?" Fang Yiai said in confusion.
, my heart became crazy, if I successfully robbed Shiwei's lair, how could he not become famous all over the world?
Even if he fails, he can still make a big fuss and force Shi Wei to retreat, which is also a great achievement. The old man in the family will probably stop calling him a reckless man and not a great weapon, right?
The old man's title is inherited by his elder brother, so wouldn't it be more enjoyable to get a title?!
At this moment, Fang Yiai was very ambitious.
The Khitan officers were also very daring. They even dared to plunder the Tang Dynasty, so what else should they be afraid of? When they thought of the wealth in Shiwei's lair, they were all tempted.
Light.
"Dry!"
"Let's do it!"
"Go, fuck him." Fang Yiai was like a wild horse, completely let loose.
The Khitan officers shouted excitedly, led the troops to catch up, rushed along the official road, and headed straight to the north.
Soon, the five thousand troops disappeared into the vast snow.
