Harassment, endless harassment, the Koreans kept attacking Yun Ye from the mountains, on the water, in the grass, and underground. Although in the eyes of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, this low-intensity harassment was nothing, but they continued
Mosquitoes buzzing in your ears for a long time can also make you irritated.
The soldiers who went to cut down trees in the woods were constantly injured, most of them in the legs. There were dense traps there. The Koreans estimated that Yun Ye would need a lot of wood, and thought that only this pine forest could provide it.
Yun Ye had a lot of wood. They were a little arrogant, or they were reluctant to burn down the forest, so they made this arrangement.
Yun Ye didn't have those scruples. Once he collected enough wood, he lit the woods on fire and kept guard outside with strong crossbows. The Koreans who were hiding in the woods for sneak attacks were driven out by the fire, and then they acted like prey one by one.
, was shot with a crossbow.
It is said that anger does not lead to war, but the Koreans don't seem to think so. A man holding a high-character banner led two thousand Koreans and bravely rushed into the Tang Dynasty's camp at dawn. Only after entering the village did they find this
It was an empty camp. He wanted to exit, but Liu Fang didn't give him a chance. The old-fashioned trick of hijacking the camp in the middle of the night was really not enough for Old Man Liu.
When the corpses of more than two thousand people were piled in front of the King's City, a long trumpet sounded from the city. A large group of cavalry stood outside the city gate. Many Koreans emerged from the field and entered in an orderly manner.
After arriving at Dawangcheng, it seems that they don't intend to harass them anymore.
An envoy came to the camp with an entourage and handed Yun Ye a letter from the Korean eldest brother Quan Yanchi, asking Yun Ye for permission to take away the bones of the two thousand Koreans and allowing Yun Ye to take them from the Jingguan.
In return for taking away two thousand corpses, Liu Fang agreed without hesitation, but asked the Koreans to dig out the bones from Jingguan in exchange.
"What does this three-legged chicken mean?" Yun Ye flipped through the letter and asked the Korean. Before the Korean could answer, the follower he brought proudly replied: "That is the three-legged Golden Crow, ours."
God, the people of the Tang Dynasty are ignorant. They only know about chickens. Don’t they know about the existence of the Golden Crow?"
Yun Ye became so angry that he ordered the attendant's head to be chopped off, and then he put it on a plate and brought it up. The envoy, with tears in his eyes, wanted to take back the attendant's bones, but Yun Ye sternly refused unless he got five hundred more.
In exchange for the corpse, this heroic Korean follower will be fed to the dogs.
The furious and roaring envoy agreed to this request. Later, he found that Yun Ye was looking at his neck curiously, and he quickly returned to Dawang City, preparing to report the perseverance and unyieldingness of his followers to his eldest brother Quan Yanchi. Such a hero, in Goryeo
It is very rare among people, a hero who dares to refute the ignorance of the opponent's general in front of the enemy's thousands of troops. All Koreans need to know about it.
Seeing that the envoy had left, Yun Ye quickly went to the tent and saw that the Korean attendant was eating under the waiter of Liu Jinbao, gnawing on the roasted chicken in a shameful manner. Liu Jinbao poured him tea and persuaded him.
Slower.
"Slow down, I've been a slave for two months. I haven't seen a bite of meat all day long. I finally caught it. I can't get enough of it."
"Didn't you say you ate enough meat last time? You shouted for noodles, why did you do it the other way around today?"
Yun Ye asked angrily. This guy was born with a familiar face. He was able to be a slave and a follower of an envoy. He didn't know how he did it.
After Qu Zhuo swallowed a big mouthful of chicken, he wiped his mouth and said to Yun Ye: "This pheasant is too woody and not as oily as the chicken served in Zhuangzi. I expected that the army would be blocked in Dawangcheng this time, so I arrived in Liaodong early.
, I worked as a servant in the family of Zhe Sheyuanhe. They liked slaves who could speak the Tang Dynasty dialect. I bribed his housekeeper and got a procurement job, so I could walk around the Great King City. You see, this is the King I painted.
City topographic map. I don’t know if it’s useful to you.”
Yun Ye watched Qu Zhuo tear off a large piece of cloth from his clothes, patted his hand and asked him to continue eating. He took the piece of cloth to the handsome tent.
"This is the internal topographic map of the King's City. It was just brought out by our craftsmen. How about you take a look at where we are attacking?" Yun Ye said and put the piece of cloth on the table. Liu Fang did not look at the piece of cloth, but
Let me first ask Yun Ye: "Is this person reliable?"
"No need to doubt it." Yun Ye said firmly.
Liu Fang then carefully looked at the lines on the piece of cloth and compared it piece by piece with his own map. After reading it, he nodded to Yun Ye to express his approval. Finally, he pointed to the west gate near the river and said: "Our offensive point is here
Here, after the west gate is stabilized, we can start the next step. Your plan will only have the possibility of success when the war is stalemate."
"Mr. Liu, I don't want to use the bones of soldiers to fill the city when I attack the city. If this is the case, I would rather return to the Tang Dynasty. I believe that no one in the civil and military circles of the dynasty can tell whether I am wrong or not. I will only test that plan.
Once, regardless of success or failure, I will immediately order to break camp and go home."
Liu Fang nodded and said: "We don't have the strength to capture the Great King's City. Quan Yanchi also knows that he only wants to kill us under the Great King's City. Look here, the Great King's City has more than one wall, four in total.
, as long as we enter the first city wall, if the city wall is not captured, when the thousand-jin gate on the city gate falls, we will be trapped in Wengcheng, which will definitely be a dead end. Therefore, as soon as the siege begins, we need to suppress it with absolute advantage.
The enemy, then send a small group of elites to destroy their water sources. Only in this way will it be possible to complete your plan."
"The navy is our only escape route. We must ensure their safety. As long as we escape from Liao River, our world will be ours when we reach the sea."
Liu Fang's words made Yun Ye sleepless all night. The old guy didn't mean to deal with it casually. He didn't intend to touch the King's City and settle the matter. Instead, he really prepared to attack the city. He just didn't know how he could fill in the wide moat.
.
As the sun rose, the cowhide war drums sounded loudly. Yun Ye rode on his horse and followed Wuji slowly towards the Great King's City. The further he walked, the taller and taller the Great King's City became. When he walked away from the
When the city was less than three miles away, the tall city in front of him almost made Yun Ye breathless.
Even after making the most complete preparations, Yun Ye did not believe that this city could be conquered by relying on flesh and blood. No arrogant generals came out and asked to fight alone, and no one shouted towards the city.
He scolded, these unfashionable things have no effect in actual war. Yun Ye, a military idiot who only knew about ancient wars from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", was filled with resentment towards Luo Guanzhong.
The battlefield was quiet, and there was no one on the city wall. Suddenly, there was a cry like a landslide and a tsunami from the top of the city. Countless Korean soldiers suddenly poured out from behind the low battlements, and the city wall was covered in an instant.
Liu Fang was unmoved and waved the flag in his hand. Yun Ye found a large row of soldiers holding tall shields walking out of the orderly army. They stopped at every step and shouted kill at every step, without losing their authority at all.
wind.
The men with bare backs shouting slogans and pushing the siege truck, covered with steam in the cold day of early spring, pushed the siege truck step by step to a position only half a mile away from the city. The men behind them stretched out their long arms.
The catapults followed slowly, and the ox carts loaded with stones followed with difficulty.
Yun Ye was a little disappointed. He could only do this one step today. The layout of the offensive could not be completed in a day or two. He only attacked one city gate, and there were still three city gates for the enemy to bypass. He had too few soldiers. No wonder the military manual said
, besiege ten times, annihilate five times, with 12,000 troops and horses, to attack a city defended by 10,000 people, it is a method of seeking death. If Yun Ye's equipment is not super luxurious, there is a sharp weapon like kerosene.
If you use it, even if you beat Liu Fang to death, he won't take the job.
The veterans in Chang'an City are all waiting for the news of Yun Ye's defeat. As long as this news reaches the capital and the soldiers suffer heavy casualties, then the battle will be fought without a fight. No one thinks that Yun Ye
Being able to accomplish this, break through Bisha Castle, and annihilate the Koryo Navy at Samsanpo was beyond their expectations. Dawang Castle? It would be a joke to take it down without more than 100,000 troops.
"I shouldn't be fighting with these old guys," Yun Ye murmured to himself. Looking at these simple men in front of him who came to fight in this strange land just because they believed in themselves, Yun Ye choked with sobs.
I'm almost speechless.
"Put away your tears. The most unseen thing on the battlefield is this thing. You can be angry, but not vented. Straighten your chest, raise your head, and tell your soldiers loudly that you will create an unprecedented miracle.
"Liu Fang slapped Wangcai hard on the butt.
The squealing Wangcai quickly shuttled back and forth in front of the formation. Yun Ye didn't say anything, but just pulled out his horizontal sword and used their weapons all the way. The sound of the slight collision of weapons was heard in an instant.
Echoes on the battlefield.
Two strong soldiers smashed down the machine, and the thick arms of the catapult threw several huge stones at the city wall from a distance. Since the distance was a bit far, the landing point was not very good, but they just hit the city wall hard, and the stones fell.
It became shattered and finally fell into the moat. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty shouted in unison, praising their victory.
As if it was a show, several huge rocks flew out of the city wall and hit heavily not far from the catapult. Since the stone bullets were not round, they hit the mud and only bounced twice before stopping.
Liu Fang was actually calling for gold to withdraw his troops, and the soldiers who had already gone out slowly retreated back.
Is this all? Yun Ye looked at the sun that was slightly to the west. He still had time, so why not bombard the city wall again?
"This is a warning and a courtesy. It tells him that if he doesn't surrender, he will die. We are also told that an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth will fight to the death." Liu Fang's white teeth look like the teeth of a wild beast.
