When Cao Minxiu's three troops arrived in the north of Liaoyang City, the Tongshun Army's artillery fire was still roaring...
On average, every ten seconds or so, a cannonball would fly in at random intervals, then smash into the city with extreme precision, exploding into pieces of flowers of death.
Wu Qidao didn't know whether there were still people alive in Liaoyang City at this time, and he didn't bother to know, because his strategic purpose this time was mainly to attract the attention of the main force of Goryeo, so thousands of artillery pieces were
, only a dozen or so were still firing, and hundreds of artillery pieces had only been loaded with shells, waiting for the arrival of the Goryeo army...
But even with such a lazy attack, what Cao Minxiu saw before his eyes was already a devastated city burning with raging fire.
Apart from the roar of artillery and the crackling of shells, there was almost no movement in the city. Even on the city wall, there was not a single figure of a Goryeo soldier...
Cao Minxiu raised his whip, pointed it at a young general beside him, and said coldly: "You, go explore the city, find the guard Cui Zhengyong, and ask him to come out of the city to see me!"
"Ah~??Me?" The young general pointed to his nose with a frightened look on his face, then turned to look at the burning Liaoyang City, then swallowed a mouthful of spit, gritted his back molars and rode towards the city.
…
At the same time, Cao Minxiu also jumped off the saddle, unfolded the map, and began to make his own strategic deployment. In his idea, he would first let the left route army lead an ambush in the east of Liaoyang City with 20,000 firecrackers.
Ten miles away in the ravine of Longding Mountain, another
Set up all the artillery of your own army on the top of the mountain and near the banks of the Taizi River, take advantage of the terrain to increase the range of your own artillery, and when the enemy infantry charges the artillery position, use the ambush in the ravine to launch a surprise attack! Catch the opponent by surprise!
As for his right army, when the enemy's main force was attracted by artillery fire and rushed to Longding Mountain, they united with the remaining troops in Liaoyang City and captured the Tongshun Army's central camp located in the south of the city in one fell swoop! In order to capture the thieves first,
The king’s strategic purpose!
It has to be said that Cao Minxiu, although he loves success and is eccentric, is indeed a good hand when it comes to arranging troops, marching and fighting. If his plan really goes ahead, Wu Qidao's army will definitely face a lot of difficulties.
A hard fight.
But no matter how many calculations Cao Minxiu made, he would never guess it. At this moment, another rumbling sound of cannons came from behind!!
Yan Bing's troops... have already begun to attack Shenyang City...
Moreover, it is completely different from the bombardment here in Liaoyang City. It was a continuous sound of bombardment and explosions, one after another...
The two commanders of the Koryo army's frontier armies were shocked...
"Sir Inspector!! This voice! It's clearly coming from the direction of Shenyang City!! We have fallen into a trap!!"
"Lord Inspector, let's quickly lead the troops back to defend Shenyang City! Maybe it's still too late!"
"Hehehe...return to defense...??" Cao Minxiu sneered, slowly took the map back into his arms, and said in a deep voice to the two of them: "Are you two...idiots!? Go back to Shenyang, and then
Are you taking the initiative to put your own army into a situation where the enemy is attacking you from both front and back!?? How did you two pig brains get to where you are today!??"
The two generals were immediately speechless...
He said to himself, "Don't you know that others don't know it? Just like you, we all rely on the minister to get promoted..."
"That's all...!!!" Cao Minxiu saw that the two of them were silent, so he sighed and continued: "This general underestimated this Liang Guo witch... But fortunately, the army did not damage the foundation, and the ground was lost.
Well, if we call back in the future, we will inform each battalion to return to the division river..."
Cao Minxiu put away the map and walked towards his horse with his hands behind his back. At this moment, his face was full of unwillingness, and he silently swore an oath in his heart that he would lead the army to Liaodong again and defeat the Liang Kingdom! Avenge the previous shame!
He is worthy of being a rare good general in Goryeo...
He has a clear mind and knows how to advance and retreat. Unfortunately, his opponent is Yan Bing, and it is Yan Bing who has gone through several wars and has reached the ultimate level of armament and experience...
When Cao Minxiu's 50,000-strong army began to withdraw in the direction of Goryeo, the Xingtian Camp high in the sky, with the cooperation of flags and telescopes, immediately transmitted the battle report back to Yan Bing's commander's tent.
When Li Bing heard the news, he just smiled slightly and casually praised the commander of the Goryeo army for a few words. Then he issued an order, leaving two thousand people to continue attacking the city. The rest of the large force bypassed the city and attacked the main force of Goryeo.
Chase.
At the same time, using the communication facilities of Xingtian Camp, he also issued a pursuit order to the Wu Qi Taoist Department who was less than a hundred miles away from him!
It's just that when this pursuit order was issued, there was also a set of semaphores attached, which is...
Slow march...
At first, when the messenger passed this order to Wu Qidao, he was confused. He only followed the order after repeatedly confirming that there was no problem with the signal soldier's interpretation.
After all, this is an order to pursue the enemy! But it requires the troops to move slowly!? The two orders are completely contradictory???
With his head full of questions, Wu Qidao mounted his horse and led his troops slowly towards the direction of the enemy's withdrawal.
Because the only thing he is sure of is that every order given by his commander must have a deep meaning hidden in it! There is no need to ask more, just follow the order!
In this way, after three days of "slow" pursuit, Wu Qidao watched the opponent's 50,000 main force enter the dense forest of Changbai Mountain, and soon received an order from the commander to stop the pursuit. www.81

At this time, Wu Qidao's troops were only less than twenty miles away from the commander's troops. Wu Qidao could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart, so he let Zhao Kaixuan take over his command and rode alone on the fast track.
Horse, run towards the coach's troops...
He wanted to know what the coach's arrangement meant!
It's just a slow march, but you actually stopped marching? Isn't this just looking at the fat in front of you and not eating it?
With this doubt, Wu Qidao opened the curtain of the coach's tent with great enthusiasm, stepped forward and bowed his hands!
"Huh? You came fast enough? Come on, sit down and have some tea?" Yan Bing greeted him with a warm smile and held up a tea bowl and handed it to Wu Qidao.
But Wu Qidao glanced at the other cup of hot tea on the handsome desk, frowned and asked softly: "Master, do you know that the end will come?"
"Yeah! I know you're coming, and I know what you want to ask," Yan Bing took a sip of the hot tea in the cup, looked up at Wu Qidao, and said with a smile, "Are you going to drink it or not? How about you?"
If you are thirsty, just put it on the table and don't hold it up all the time. I will answer your questions directly."
Upon hearing this, Wu Qidao immediately raised the tea bowl and took a big sip, then wiped the corners of his mouth and put the tea bowl back on the table.
