Chapter six hundred and sixteen: strategizing and winning thousands of miles
Pu Yisheng, the lord of Wugu City, was frightened to the point of peeing.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I can help you! I can be a spy, I really can! Please don't kill me!"
Hearing Park Yisheng's words, Li Min couldn't help but look happy.
Li Min brought Pu Yisheng to trial, of course not to kill him.
However, when he first saw Pu Yisheng, Li Min found that this fat man looked like he had excessive indulgence and dignity.
Li Min estimated that this person must be greedy for life and afraid of death.
After a little testing, it turned out to be true.
"Bring him back first."
The two soldiers brought Pu Yisheng back again and threw him to the ground in disgust. Pu Yisheng collapsed directly to the ground.
Then he struggled to get up, kowtowing like pounding garlic.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I can be your spy, I can do anything!"
Li Min said slowly: "Which king is asking you, do you have a way to get Liaodong City to send troops to rescue Wugu City?"
Upon hearing Li Min's words, Pu Yisheng was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what Li Min meant.
Now the Tang army has captured Wugu City, but they have not captured the Liaodong City in front.
As for Wugu City, not a single Goryeo soldier escaped.
Then Liaodong City didn't know about the fall of Wugu City at all.
Once Wugu City sends out a signal for help, Liaodong City will definitely send reinforcements to assist.
These reinforcements can be eaten by the Tang army, which can be used to weaken the defense force of Liaodong City.
This strategy is so vicious!
There was a trace of struggle in Pu Yisheng's eyes, but this trace of struggle quickly disappeared.
Pu Yisheng had a flattering look in his eyes and said quickly: "Yes, yes, as long as the smoke is lit, it will be a distress signal for Wugu City."
"This smoke can convey different messages depending on its color and intensity. I believe Liaodong City will definitely come to the rescue."
On the other side of Liaodong City, Xue Rengui led the troops to attack.
But before leaving, Li Min told Xue Rengui not to attack hard and to keep in touch at all times.
Xue Rengui has now fought two battles with Liaodong City, and won great victories both times.
But it also caused the Liaodong City defender to be unable to retreat. For a while, Xue Rengui had no good solution.
Now, Li Min told Xue Rengui to maintain positive pressure on Liaodong City and not to act rashly for the time being.
Now, there is a chance to lure out the defenders of Liaodong City. This opportunity is really great.
Li Min believed that Liaodong City would definitely send troops to support Wugu City.
Because Liaodong City is the front station and Wugu City is behind Liaodong City.
Liaodong City is easy to defend and difficult to attack from the front, but it is easy to break through from behind.
Once Wugu City falls, Liaodong City will inevitably face the consequences of being attacked from both sides, and they will not be able to defend it at all.
Therefore, once Wugu City is in crisis, Liaodong City will inevitably divide its troops to rescue.
It is really great to have Park Yi-sheng as an internal support now.
Li Min immediately sent people to suppress Pu Yisheng and asked him to give instructions to light the beacon fire.
On the way, Pu Yisheng learned that the Tang army had done no harm to the people of Goryeo.
His concubine was not defiled by the Tang army.
At this moment, Pu Yisheng felt grateful to Tang Jun.
The Tang Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, and Goryeo will be finished sooner or later.
If this is the case, if you simply surrender to the Tang Dynasty sincerely, you may enjoy endless glory and wealth in the rest of your life.
Therefore, Park Yisheng really tried his best when it came to lighting the bonfire.
Wolf smoke can express a variety of meanings through color and size.
And what Pu Yisheng has lit up now means that the Tang Dynasty has surrounded Wugu City, and the situation is very dangerous.
Now we need your assistance. As long as you send about 10,000 soldiers, we can help us relieve the siege.
After you help us relieve the siege and drive back the Tang army, Wugu City can in turn send soldiers to help you defend the city.
Although it's not so clear, in general, that's what it means.
Moreover, Pu Yisheng took the initiative to introduce the terrain between the two cities to the Tang army and reminded them where it was easiest to ambush.
In fact, Li Min had already detected the best ambush location through an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.
After mutual verification with Pu Yisheng's recommendation, I found that this guy really didn't lie and really thought about Datang wholeheartedly.
Well, this guy is pretty good.
Although he was just a wallflower and weakling, he still helped Datang a lot.
After Goryeo is destroyed, we can reward him with more money and make him a rich man.
Li Min sent Qin Huaiyu and led an army of 20,000 to ambush along the way.
Because after the Wugu City was defeated, Qin Huaiyu was very dissatisfied.
In this battle, their soldiers fired two waves of arrows outside the city gate, and then there was no more, and the battle ended immediately.
After this battle, the Tang army's momentum was completely destroyed.
The energy and spirit of the 50,000 Tang troops were different, and completely different changes had taken place.
Now, the smoke has been ignited, and Qin Huaiyu has led 20,000 troops to ambush.
Li Min asked Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Gong to be ready to respond at any time.
Now, they just need to wait quietly.
Pu Yisheng had been released by Li Min because of his contribution to the Tang Dynasty.
Except that he cannot leave Wugu City, he is now free.
After returning home, the family reunited, bursting into tears of joy, hugging each other and crying.
In the end, Park gritted his teeth and made a difficult decision.
Pu Yisheng directly took his most beautiful concubine and his eldest daughter, who was only fifteen years old, and sent them directly to Li Min's room.
"Remember, you must serve the King of Shu well! As long as you serve the King of Shu well, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth for the rest of your life!"
As a result, when Li Min went back to his room to rest, he found that there were two more beauties in the room, one big and one small.
Wherever there is water and soil, one person can be nourished.
The beauties of Goryeo were relatively famous in later generations.
In this era, it is no exception.
Most of their skin colors are fairer and more delicate than those of women in the Tang Dynasty.
In terms of appearance, he is also impeccable.
Although it is slightly worse than Li Min's other wives, the difference is not big.
Seeing these two women, Li Min couldn't help but curiously asked: "Who are you?"
"The little girl is Park Yisheng's concubine!"
"Park Yisheng is the father of the little girl."
"We are all here to serve the prince."
Good guy!
This guy Park Yisheng is really willing to give up.
He actually sent his wife and daughter to his room.
But Li Min is really not that kind of person.
Although she is very romantic, she would never do such a thing.
So Li Min smiled slightly, and then said to the two women: "Our Tang Dynasty is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, a country of etiquette. Who do you think this king is?"
"You all go back! Go back and tell Pu Yisheng that as long as he works for Datang, I will never treat him badly!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The two women left with complicated emotions.
In their hearts, they were both happy and sad.
This King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty is really a handsome man!
And full of charm.
It's a pity that he didn't like us!
After the two girls returned home, Pu Yisheng was shocked and thought they had offended the king of Shu in the Tang Dynasty.
When Pu Yisheng heard the two women repeating the words of the King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty, Pu Yisheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
For some reason, Park Yisheng actually felt respected.
After thinking for a long time, Pu Yisheng took a few discs from the house and sent them to Li Min.
"My lord, if you are bored, why not watch some movies to kill some time!"
"Although these movies cannot be compared with Tang Dynasty movies, they may still make you laugh!"
Li Min nodded and collected all the discs.
After Park Yisheng left, Li Min was bored and actually watched a movie.
He really wanted to see what kind of movies Korea had made.
Then, after fast forwarding and watching a few movies, Li Min found that it must be said that Goryeo's movies were really shoddy.
Whether it's the shooting techniques, the lenses, or the storyline, it's all quite shoddy.
However, the content of their shooting is quite bold.
The actresses in the movie are very explicit in some scenes.
This is probably due to the fact that the culture of Goryeo was more open than that of Tang Dynasty.
However, for Li Min, who has watched countless action movies in later generations and still has no code in his heart, these scenes really seem too childish.
Then, Li Min played the next video again out of boredom.
If this movie doesn't look good, Li Min won't be interested in watching it anymore.
After choosing to play it, Li Min unexpectedly discovered that this one was actually a war-themed movie.
And the film was about the war between Goryeo and Tang Dynasty.
Huh?
It's really interesting that there is a movie with this theme.
Li Min really wanted to see how Goryeo shot war-themed movies, and couldn't help but watch it with curiosity.
But Li Min soon discovered that this movie was a complete reversal of right and wrong.
Originally, it was because Goryeo kept sending troops to attack its neighbors, but Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty refused to listen, so the Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack Goryeo.
But in the movie, it turned out to be an aggressive war launched by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty after he fell in love with Goryeo's beauties.
That's all. The plot behind the movie is even more ridiculously twists and turns.
The army of Tang Dynasty was approaching, and Goryeo was previously frustrated, but after the setback, the microcosm exploded.
Their general Eulji Mundeok actually shot Li Shimin out of one eye with an arrow.
Moreover, Eulji Wende led the army and attacked Chang'an City.
Li Shimin knelt down to beg for mercy and took the initiative to seek peace. Then Goryeo reluctantly signed an armistice treaty with Datang.
This Goryeo could compete with some small country in later generations.
Li Min shook his head and took out the film.
…
In Goryeo Liaodong City, the city lord Qiqi Zhongxiang frowned tightly when he saw the smoke coming from Wugu City.
The direction of Wugu City was attacked by the Tang Dynasty from the sea, and Qiqi Zhongxiang knew about it.
But he didn't expect that the Tang army on that side would be so strong!
Liaodong City was also under great pressure.
An army of 50,000 people pressed in from the front. Two attempts were made, but both ended in heavy losses.
The Qiqi Zhongxiang did not dare to send troops anymore, so he had to guard and defend to the death.
However, he currently has less than 30,000 troops in Liaodong City.
The current defense is fine, but once the troops are divided to help Wugu City, the situation on his side will definitely be very tight.
But if you don't help, it won't work either.
Once Wugu City falls, he will be attacked from the front and back by the Tang army.
If we attack from the direction of Wugu City, Liaodong City will completely lose its geographical advantage and will be easily broken.
Therefore, even though the frontal pressure was great, Qiqi Zhongxiang decided to send troops to assist Wugu City.
As long as the Tang army in Wugu City is driven away, Wugu City can send troops to help him.
As long as Wugu City can send 10,000 soldiers and horses, the strength of Liaodong City's troops will be basically the same as that of the Tang Army, and there will be basically no danger.
Thinking of this, Qiqi Zhongxiang made a decisive decision and immediately sent 10,000 cavalry to Wugu City to support Wugu City.
An hour later, the east gate of Liaodong City opened, and ten thousand cavalry filed out, heading towards Wugu City.
According to the information transmitted by Langyan, the number of Tang troops surrounding Wugu City should not be too large.
With the assistance of their ten thousand cavalry, they should be able to drive away the Tang army easily.
Therefore, Qiqi Zhongxiang was not very worried about the comfort of these ten thousand cavalrymen.
…
These ten thousand cavalrymen marched quickly and soon arrived at a canyon.
The general of this cavalry, Pu Yipiao, was very alert.
The terrain here is really dangerous.
If the Tang army had an ambush here, they would surely fall into an irreversible fate.
Therefore, Park Yipiao immediately stopped advancing and sent a large number of scouts to search the canyon.
See if there are any Tang troops ambushing.
After some searching, these scouts did not find any ambushing Tang troops.
Only then did Park Yipiao feel relieved and command the army to move forward.
After the 10,000 cavalrymen passed by, a group of Tang troops quietly descended from the top of the canyon.
It turned out that under the command of Qin Huaiyu, there were really 10,000 Tang troops ambushed here.
However, this is the second ambush point prepared by Qin Huaiyu.
Because along the way, there are two very good ambush locations.
Qin Huaiyu decided to launch another attack at the second ambush point.
At that time, these 10,000 cavalrymen will inevitably retreat.
Then when you retreat here, launch a fatal blow to them here.
In this way, it is really a sure thing.
In order to prevent any flaws from being exposed, Qin Huaiyu ordered the ambushing soldiers to ambush at the top of the canyon first.
After the 10,000 reinforcements passed, they quietly arrived at a suitable ambush location.
And the situation was exactly as Qin Huaiyu had guessed.
The general of the reinforcements really searched the canyon.
However, it was impossible for these scouts to search all the way to the top of the mountain without finding any trace of the Tang army.
If the ambush Tang army had been ambushing in a suitable location from the beginning, they would probably be discovered by the opponent this time.
Another half an hour later, these 10,000 reinforcements arrived at the second dangerous place again.
However, the terrain here is not as steep as the first place.
Arriving here, Park Yipiao stopped again, preparing to send scouts to search.
At this time, Pu Yipiao's deputy general couldn't help but persuade: "General, if the Tang army wants to ambush, they should ambush in the previous canyon."
"Surprisingly, if the Tang army hadn't ambushed the more dangerous canyon ahead, it would be even more impossible here, right?"
"Rescue is like putting out a fire. If we miss the rescue of Wugu City because we wasted time here, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain to the city lord after we go back!"
After hearing what the deputy general said, Park Yipiao hesitated but did not insist on his opinion.
He gave up searching the valley and directly ordered the army to move forward.
At this time, Qin Huaiyu, who was ambushing above the canyon, was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
If Park Yipiao is really stubborn and insists on sending scouts to search, they will probably be exposed.
At that time, they will have no choice but to launch in advance.
When the time comes, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep everyone at the first ambush.
Fortunately, the general of the reinforcements did not make such a move in the end.
At this time, Qin Huaiyu took out the walkie-talkie from his pocket.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I am Huaiyu."
"Received, please speak."
"Your Highness, the reinforcements from Liaodong City will enter the encirclement immediately and can close the net!"
"Okay, you go according to the original plan!"
At this time, Li Min was in the lord's palace of Wugu City, looking at the screen of his laptop.
He has a clear understanding of the battle situation on the front line.
Li Min picked up another walkie-talkie and pressed the talk button.
"Everything is bright, everything is bright. I am Li Min. If you hear me, please answer."
"Received, received, Your Highness, please speak."
"Liaodong City reinforcements will enter the encirclement immediately, please be prepared!"
"Everything is ready, Your Highness, please rest assured!"
After the arrangements were made, Li Min concentrated on watching the battle situation on the front line on the screen.
I saw Park Yipiao leading an army of 10,000 people, quickly passing through the valley.
When they were almost halfway through, Qin Huaiyu decisively ordered: "Attack!"
On both sides of the valley, ten thousand Tang troops suddenly stood up, holding rocks high and smashing them down hard.
In the valley here, the road is a little wider.
But both sides attacked at the same time, leaving them with nowhere to hide.
In just a moment, they suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, Park Yipiao was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder broke.
"Not good! We encountered an ambush by the Tang Army, retreat, retreat quickly!"
The three to four thousand Korean cavalrymen who rushed out of the canyon in front were completely separated from the rear.
While shouting luck, they were also very confused.
Their general, who was in the center of the army, did not rush out with them.
Now, they have become neglected children.
Without a leader, these cavalrymen looked confused.
"where are we going?"
"What should we do now?"
"No one cares about us anymore?"
Now they are confused and scared.
But soon, they were no longer confused.
Because in front, 20,000 Tang Dynasty cavalry rushed over.
Li Min left 10,000 Tang troops in Wugu City.
The rest were all dispatched.
As for these war horses, of course they are the war horses left in Wugu City.
The Goryeo cavalry, who were originally confused and frightened, were now left with nothing but boundless fear.
Behind is a valley pierced by rocks, and in front is the Tang army that looks like wolves and tigers.
With a wolf in front of them and a tiger behind them, do they still have a way to survive?
This is a battle without any suspense.
The Tang army only charged in one wave, and after killing more than a thousand Goryeo cavalry, the remaining troops were completely defeated.
Then, they all threw away their weapons, jumped off their horses, and chose to surrender.
On the other side, Park Yipiao only led more than 3,000 cavalry to escape.
The rest is all explained here.
Moreover, of the more than 3,000 cavalry, less than half were injured.
Even he himself was hit by stones several times.
His lieutenant was directly killed.
Now Park Yipiao really hates him.
If he hadn't been so talkative and sent his own scouts to investigate, how could there have been such tragic casualties?
If he hadn't been beaten to death, Park Yipiao would have cut off his head with a sword at this time.
It seems that Wugu City has fallen!
Otherwise, where did so many Tang troops come from to set up an ambush here so brazenly?
Once Wugu City falls, Liaodong City will also be in danger!
No, you must pass this news back and tell the city lord.
Pu Yipiao led more than 3,000 cavalrymen, as anxious as a bereaved dog, as busy as a fish that slipped through the net, and fled back in a hurry.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the first canyon.
Looking at this canyon, Park Yipiao suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart.
But at this time, there was no more time for him to hesitate.
Without stopping to do any detection, Park Yipiao directly led the army through the canyon.
Along the way, Park Yipiao was frightened.
I'm afraid I'll be attacked again here.
Although when he came, he had already sent out scouts to search.
But for some reason, he always felt uneasy.
The team in front of him was about to leave the canyon, and Park Yipiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, he heard a shout from above the canyon.
"attack!"
Immediately afterwards, countless Tang troops stood out from the canyon, and then countless rocks were thrown down from the canyon.
"My life is at an end!"
Pu Yipiao shouted loudly, his eyes were round and tears could not help but flow from his eyes!
The fate of the Goryeo cavalry was very miserable.
None of them could get out of the canyon.
On the other hand, the more than a thousand cavalrymen behind the team were lucky to escape because they did not enter the canyon.
But there are interceptions in front and pursuers behind.
There are only two roads left waiting for them.
Either die or surrender.
These cavalry were frightened out of their wits. They were not brave enough to fear death, so they all chose to surrender in the end.
Seeing this scene, Li Min smiled slightly.
Everything is under control.
In this case, you can proceed to the next step.
Next, Li Min took his own soldiers and Pu Yisheng and left the city directly.
Not long after, Li Min came to the canyon.
At this time, Qin Huaiyu was commanding the surrendered Goryeo soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
After Li Min rushed over, he called Qin Huaiyu and others over, and then asked: "You did a good job this time. When I go back, I will definitely ask for credit for you!"
"By the way, where is the general of the Goryeo reinforcements? Were you captured alive?"
Hearing Li Min's question, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but smile awkwardly and said: "It seems like he was crushed to death!"
Was it smashed to death?
It's a bit of a pity, but it doesn't affect the overall situation.
Li Min couldn't help but say: "If he's dead, he's dead. In this way, you can find his body."
Not long after, Park Yipiao's body was carried over.
Li Min ordered someone to bandage him. From a distance, it was impossible to tell that the man was dead, he was just a seriously injured person.
