On Weiqiu Mountain, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun climbed up and looked at the groups of Korean troops under the hill, with a look of worry on his brows.
Not long after, Zhai Huang, the deputy general of the Shangshui Army, and Sun Shuke, the general of the third battalion of the Yanling Army, came to Zhao Hongrun. Together, they looked at the Korean army at the foot of the hill.
"What a pity." Zhao Hongrun did not look back and said to himself: "It was just a little bit..."
Zhai Huang and Sun Shuke looked at each other. The former shook his head and sighed: "It seems that Jin Yao saw through His Highness's surprise attack... Otherwise, our army would have a chance to capture Gaolang... How did he see through it?"
"Who knows." Zhao Hongrun frowned and sighed, and murmured: "After all... he is also one of the top ten tycoons in Beiyuan."
After hearing this, Zhai Huang and Sun Shuke nodded in relief. Immediately, Sun Shuke seemed to have thought of something. He cupped his fists and reported: "By the way, Your Highness, the last general has just roughly explored this hill. We are lucky. This mountain is ours."
The hills are densely forested and the mountain roads are rugged. As long as some repairs are made and troops are deployed in dangerous places, the Korean army should not be able to break through this mountain in a short period of time."
Zhao Hongrun nodded slowly when he heard this, and then asked: "How many days can the food carried by our army last?"
Sun Shuke and Zhai Huang looked at each other and whispered: "The dry food carried by the soldiers can last for four or five days without any problem..."
"Four or five days..." Zhao Hongrun thought for a while, then glanced at the sky and murmured: "Right now, it's up to Qu Cheng, Wu Ji and the others..."
——The time goes back to the eve of Zhao Hongrun’s dispatch of troops——
"Po, Po Lan... Who is Po Lan here?"
During the military meeting in Xuansheng City, Yan Mo, the deputy general of the Yanling Army, asked Zhao Hongrun with a dazed look on his face: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, what did you just say?"
"Plan B, that is, the backup plan." Zhao Hongrun glanced at the confused generals in the room and said in a deep voice: "Tactics one, which is what I just said, the two mountains, Tanyuan and Xuushi City, each of the four strongholds
Five thousand troops were dispatched, under the pretense of going out on patrol, to move south and surprise Gaolang!... In this battle, only 20,000 troops were dispatched, and the remaining 80,000 were left here for the time being. As long as the Korean cavalry knew that the main force of our army was still there.
The people around the Hyun clan should not have any doubts... Even if they wake up, the 20,000 troops may have captured Gaolang."
Having said this, Zhao Hongrun paused, looked around at the generals in the room, and said in a deep voice: "However, you can also hear that this battle is very dangerous, and the Korean army may find out earlier than we expected.
As a result, this battle was about to fail, and at this time, a backup plan was needed. For example, using me as a bait to induce the Korean army to pursue the surprise attack force. And while Feng Ting and Bao Yuan would use their main force to pursue the surprise attack force,
, Qu Cheng, Wu Ji, Yan Mo... I want you to wait and conquer the eldest son city for me!"
Hearing this, the generals in the room showed solemn expressions and remained silent, or were thinking about the feasibility of these two tactics.
After a long time, Yan Mo shook his head and said: "Your Highness, this matter is too dangerous. It is better to let the last general lead the surprise attack force..."
But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Hongrun waving his hand.
"You can't do it, Yan Mo, and you and everyone here can't do it." Looking around at the generals in the room, Zhao Hongrun said sternly: "Although it seems a bit self-proclaimed, it is undeniable that the three Korean generals Bao Yuan, Jin Mao, and Feng Ting
The one who is considered a thorn in the side is me, not you and others here. Only I personally lead the surprise attack force. Once the surprise attack fails, we can turn to a backup plan to contain the main force of the Korean army in the Gaolang area..."
After hearing this, all the generals here looked at each other in confusion. Although they wanted to refute, and wanted to implore His Highness Prince Su to take back his life and give up this plan to risk his life, it is undeniable that His Highness Prince Su was right.
In the minds of the three Korean generals Feng Ting and Jin Yao, the biggest threat is His Royal Highness Su Wang, who is called "Wei Gongzi Run" by the Koreans. He is the soul and core of the entire Su Wang army.
And if His Highness is stationed in Xuushi City, then once "Tactics One" fails, the surprise attack force will not be able to switch to "Tactics Two" and lure Feng Ting and Bao Yuan's troops away from Xuushi City.
"Having said that, this is..." Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Shui Army, frowned, shook his head and said, "Your Highness should not risk his life, please forgive me for your objection!"
After hearing this, the generals present all agreed and disapproved of this matter.
Just kidding, His Highness King Su is the core of the soul of King Su's army. If His Highness King Su has three strengths and two weaknesses, where will the Yanling Army, Shangshui Army, Youma Army and other armies go?
What's more, His Royal Highness King Su is the most valued son of Emperor Wei. If anything goes wrong in this battle, even if Qu Cheng, Yan Mo, Wu Ji, Zhai Huang and many other generals are lucky enough to return to Wei alive,
You will definitely be punished in the future.
In the eyes of the generals, no matter how unfavorable the battle situation is, the safety of His Highness King Su must always be put first. After all, only with His Highness King Su present can King Su's army, Yanling Army, Shangshui Army, and Youma Army be present.
will also exist.
Zhao Hongrun waved his hand to stop the objections of the generals, and said seriously: "Danger? Isn't danger everywhere on this battlefield? Where is the so-called safety?...Listen, I actually don't like this once.
The so-called achievements and honors of leading troops on expeditions are nothing to me.
That is to say. You should all have heard that my long-cherished wish is to be a rich man who lives and sleeps in peace and prosperity. He can take his clan guards on sightseeing tours or hunt for animals. Otherwise, if he sees the woman he likes,
If the other party refuses to obey, you might as well act as a villain and take her back to the palace as a concubine..."
During the banquet, several generals couldn't help laughing. Maybe they didn't expect that the dignified King Su, who was feared by the Chu, Qin, and Korean armies, would have such a long-cherished wish...
Can't bear to look at it.
Zhao Hongrun ignored the laughing generals and continued to talk to himself: "But all of this is based on one foundation, that is, our Wei Dynasty must be strong. Only by staying strong can the enemy countries not dare to invade and peace can be achieved.
...Therefore, I, the king, lead the army to go out to defend the enemy from outside the country... In other words, the purpose of my king's expedition is to win!"
"..." The generals at the banquet were slightly moved. Even the generals who had just laughed because of Zhao Hongrun's long-cherished wish gradually stopped smiling.
"...Including this time, remember it all. We are not here to enjoy the scenery. Our army has only one purpose from the beginning when we came to this land, and that is to bring the victory of this battle to the
Come back to Wei!" At this point, Zhao Hongrun glanced at the generals in the room and said in a deep voice: "For the sake of victory, our army
The soldiers are willing to risk their lives, die in battle, and bury their bones in a foreign land. And in order to win, I can also take risks with my life as a bait... Under the current situation, this is what I can think of.
The most practical tactics, unless someone can come up with a better way, just follow my wishes."
"..." The generals in the room looked at each other in silence.
"Very good, then do as I wish! ...Qu Cheng, Wu Ji, Yan Mo, if my surprise attack on Gao Lang doesn't go well, I will leave Changzi City to you."
"…Please rest assured, Your Highness Prince Su."
——Time returns to the present——
"It was just for the sake of caution at the time. I didn't expect that I would actually have to use a backup plan. This is really..."
Looking at the Korean army at the bottom of the mountain, Zhao Hongrun rubbed the acupuncture points on his forehead very tiredly.
If he had a choice, he didn't want to use any backup plan. After all, the so-called backup plan was to use his surprise attack troops as bait to contain the main forces of the Korean army such as Feng Ting's army, Bao Yuan's army, and Jin Piao's army, and to help Qu Cheng, Wu Ji, and Yan in disguise.
Mo and other generals led the remaining 80,000 troops to attack Changzi City.
Changzi City is the administrative seat of Shangdang County, so it is impossible that there is no food stored in the city.
Therefore, as long as King Su's army can capture Changzi City, it is possible to solve the current food and grass problem.
The only problem is that, as a result, the 20,000 surprise attack troops led by Zhao Hongrun must defend Gaolang until the Yanling Army or Shangshui Army, which captured Changzi City, come to support.
It has to be said that when Han General Shangdang Shou Feng Ting led his troops to Gaolang, the garrison strength of Changzi City was weak, while the Suwang Army in the area of Xunshi City had 80,000 troops, with continuous crossbows and stone throwing
With battlefield weapons such as chariots and heavy cavalry, it is actually not a problem to capture Changzi City. Who told the soul of Changzi City, Shangdang Shou Feng Ting, not to be in charge of that city?
The problem is, how many days will it take for Qu Cheng, Wu Ji, Yan Mo and others to capture Changzi City first and then come to support them?
"Now that things have happened, we can only take one step and take one step..."
Zhao Hongrun sighed secretly.
At this time, Zongwei Chief Gao Kuo took out a folded flag from his backpack, which was Zhao Hongrun's "King Su" flag.
"Your Highness, do you need to hang it up?" Gao Kuo asked.
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun looked at the Korean army at the foot of the mountain, thoughtfully.
In fact, he had just seen the flags of the two Korean generals Bao Yuan and Feng Tui, plus the Jin Mao army that had ambushed his surprise attack force earlier. If he guessed correctly, Jin Mao, Bao Yuan, and Feng Tui were three of the top ten tycoons of the North Plains.
General Han is at the foot of the mountain at this moment.
In other words, when the tactic of surprise attack on Gaolang failed, the backup plan of luring the enemy had actually succeeded.
The problem is...
"How do those people know that I am in this army?... Or is this just my illusion?"
Looking at the Korean troops at the bottom of the mountain who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, Zhao Hongrun felt a little puzzled because he had not shown up yet, but Jin Mao, Bao Yuan, and Feng Ting seemed to be sure that he was among the Wei troops, so in
Heavy defenses were set up at the foot of the mountain, which puzzled Zhao Hongrun.
"Forget it, there's no need to hang it up. Hanging up my royal flag at this time will arouse the suspicion of Bao Yuan and others... In addition, these people seem to have guessed that my king is in the army, which is strange..."
Even Zhao Hongrun couldn't guess the reason at this moment.
But what made him feel even more strange was that the several Korean troops at the foot of the mountain surrounded Wei Qiu without attacking it. Although this was more in line with Zhao Hongrun's wishes, he still felt a little strange.
If he were the Han general at the foot of the mountain, he would definitely attack the hill and kill the powerful enemy "Wei Gongzi Run" to avoid long nights and dreams.
But for some reason, the Korean army at the foot of the mountain didn't seem to have this intention.
