Chapter 1071: Different Offensive and Defensive Battles (6)
Cui Shengjun also sighed and said: "Simply attacking the earth wall is of no use. The Sui people had such powerful killing weapons, plus our people were piled up in the trenches, and stone bullets and crossbow arrows were flying in the trenches. Our
No one is spared."
The general who spoke first said dissatisfiedly: "How can you fight if you are afraid of killing people? Then how can you fight?"
Cui Shengjun was silent for a moment and said to Yeon Gaesumun: "General, if we want to attack, we have to dig trenches."
Yuan Gaisuwen's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Please elaborate."
"Every day we attacked the earthen wall and filled the holes during the day. After being repulsed, they dug out the holes again. Everything was in vain during the day. We came again the next day and killed some people in vain. All because of that Sui Dynasty.
The man-made trebuchets and long-range crossbows are very powerful. The shield-carriage can withstand it for a short time, but we still have to dig trenches there to defend it. The dug-out soil will become an earth wall. No matter how powerful the stone bullets are, they will never be able to penetrate the earth wall. In this way, our people will be unable to penetrate the earth wall.
Being able to stay behind the earthen wall saves us from having to attack again the next day, losing men in vain and wasting a lot of time."
Someone wondered: "Just dig all the way through?"
"Exactly, we also followed the example of the Sui people and dug all the way around so that the opponent's trebuchets and long-range crossbows could not reach the ditch. At night, we sent auxiliary troops to the opponent's trench to destroy all the traps.
, this will only kill some auxiliary soldiers."
The man asked again: "You just said it was useless in the trench, but when we get to the trench, it will still be the same."
"Don't forget one thing. The earthen wall on Wang Junlin's side is only a little over ten feet high, and the trench is only a little over ten feet wide. The attack method is naturally different from that of siege. We don't attack the city from the bottom of the trench, but directly build wooden boards to cross the trench, and then
A short city ladder will suffice, and it is very convenient to carry. We have the advantage in numbers, so we naturally have to attack everywhere. As long as hundreds of city ladders are erected, their long-range attack methods will naturally be insufficient."
Yeon Gaesumun smiled and said: "This is a good idea, so let's use this method."
…
…
Early the next morning, Goguryeo's offensive began again, and breakfast was served before dawn. Such offensive preparations could not be hidden from the opponent, not to mention that Wang Junlin's side was condescending, and the soldiers responsible for reconnaissance notified all armies immediately.
Bugles sounded on the defense line, and Wang Junlin, who was on the defensive, also started cooking, ready to deal with the offensive of Goguryeo soldiers at any time.
Liu Yidong stayed at the north gate tower of Bailing City. After getting the alarm, he got up immediately. The Chinese army blew the suona, and several generals quickly came to the tower to meet and held a pre-war meeting.
Everyone knew that today would be a big battle. After deciding on today's defensive strategy, they hurried to their respective positions.
Everyone on the defense line was busy. The soldiers who had finished eating were shouting slogans and heading to the front line. Officers at all levels were giving instructions to the soldiers in place. The atmosphere was full of tension.
Wang Junlin also got up from the Wanshi ship. In fact, it was still dark at this time. Looking from the sea, he found that the lights of the Goguryeo camp in the north of Bailing City were all over the field, extending far away, like stars in the sky, with endless
There were blasts of horns, indicating that Goguryeo soldiers were already gathering troops.
Wang Junlin quietly looked at the sea of lights on Bailing Island in front of him. The smoke was rising and floating in the air, casting a hazy veil over the enemy camp. Although judging from the current situation, everything about them
The plan is going well, but it is far from unshakable.
After all, Yeon Gaesomun was the most famous powerful official in the history of the Korean Peninsula, and he was also the most famous general in Goguryeo. Originally, the arrogant Tang Taizong Li Shimin even allowed the arrogant Emperor Taizong Li Shimin to defeat him in person, not to mention that the opponent's military force was always superior. He must not be underestimated.
Until the last moment, no one knows whether they will win. The future is always in a kind of fog, just like the enemy camp in the smoke in front of you. It seems that you can see it, but you can't see it clearly.
Wang Junlin turned to look east. The white fish belly appeared at the junction of the sea and the sky, and the morning sun was about to rise.
…
In the thin morning light, Goguryeo soldiers in the distance came out of the camp one after another, and streams of people merged into the sea of people outside the camp. Countless shield carriages were driven by the auxiliary soldiers to the front line. Viewed from the top of the mountain Going down, like countless moving toys, they changed the way they did yesterday, and groups of shield cars moved along the foot of the mountains to the west and east.
Under the command of the generals, the Goguryeo soldiers spread out along the defense line around Baeryeong City. They formed a long formation on the west hillside and the east hillside. The dense shield vehicles were like a moving wooden wall, and each department also lined up Wang Junlin saw the subsequent echelons very clearly with his telescope, and guessed that they would launch a sustained attack.
"Sir, they are indeed planning to attack on all fronts." Luo Chunlai next to him said quietly after reading.
Wang Junlin breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Yeon Gaesumun was ready to fight with all his strength today.
At this time, the Goguryeo soldiers were in formation, the trumpets outside Baeryeong City were sounding, and the flags were like a sea. The drum beside Yeon Gaesomun at the foot of the North Mountain was beating. I don’t know what kind of reward Yeon Gaesomun had promised, and the entire Goguryeo army erupted into a wave. They shouted in unison, the sound shook the surrounding areas, and the sound waves hit the eardrums in waves. The momentum seemed extremely amazing.
"The military songs taught to the navy officers and soldiers in the early stage should be very effective if they are sung now. I wonder if Liu Yidong can think of this."
As soon as Wang Junlin finished speaking, singing gradually began to sound inside and outside Bailing City, from the chaos at the beginning to a chorus of thousands of people.
The majestic military song sounded, and the collective burst of power infected every soldier. The neat organization overwhelmed the chaotic and grand roars of the Goguryeo people. The Goguryeo formation howled at the top of its lungs for a while, but it could not overwhelm the defenders of Bailing City. The sound of neat military songs.
The military songs of the defenders could be clearly heard on the battlefield, and the majestic momentum of thousands of people firmly suppressed the Goguryeo army. Finally, the howling sound of the Goguryeo side gradually became low, and only the military songs of the defenders were heard on the battlefield.
Yeon Gae Suwen was surprised. He had never thought that such a situation would happen on the battlefield. He used normal means to encourage morale, but the Sui army on Wang Junlin's side actually improved their morale through this method of singing. Gathered the morale of the military.
This method was unheard of to Yeon Gaesumun and everyone present except Wang Junlin.
Yeon Gaesumun looked at the Sui defense line standing in front of him with a gloomy expression, and had a very bad premonition in his heart. For some reason, such a song made him vaguely think that he would not be able to capture this small town no matter what. Feel.
"General...it's time to attack." Cui Shengjun reminded him from beside him.
Yeon Gae Suwen's body trembled and he closed his eyes. He knew that his firm will had been shaken by a song. Although it sounded strange and exaggerated, it was the truth.
When Yeon Gaesumun opened his eyes again, that firmness appeared in his eyes again, but his expression was full of determination.
"Give the order and start the attack."
