Yeon Gaesumun entered the camp surrounded by people. The open space inside was filled with injured auxiliary soldiers. They had no tents and slept in the open air. There were bursts of screams from some tents. They were injured.
Soldier.
Although Yeon Gae Suwen was only in his twenties, he was used to seeing killings and was not moved at all. He followed Jin Sanhu to a tent where there were two prisoners of Wang Junlin's side, both of whom were captured last night.
, one person was shot in the leg by a bow and arrow, and the other was injured in the torso. The Goguryeo people were short of medicine, so they would not bandage them and treat them, leaving them to die on their own.
Someone brought a chair, and after Yeon Gaesomun sat down, several soldiers went up to lift up the two captives and wounded soldiers on the ground, grabbed their heads, and raised their faces to face Yeon Gaesomun.
"Don't hurt them." Yuengai Suwen said gently, "Go and bring some chairs and let them sit and talk."
"Dog thief!" One of the wounded Sui soldiers shook his eyes open, barely raised his head and spat at Yeon Gaesumun, but the spit fell down weakly just halfway through.
A strong Goguryeo elite drew his sword and was about to kill him. Yeon Gaesumun waved his hand to stop him and asked the Sui soldier nonchalantly: "This general is the commander of Goguryeo. Are you waiting to be deceived by the king Junlin? Not far away."
I will not blame you for traveling thousands of miles to die on our Goguryeo island. We have captured many Sui soldiers in the past few days, and many of them are willing to surrender to our Goguryeo."
"Hahaha, you thief, who are you lying to? We are soldiers who have been tempered by the Snake Down Training Camp. There is no way anyone will surrender."
"Snake Island training camp?" Yeon Gaesumun vaguely felt that this was an extremely critical place.
"Even if I die, I will not join you. If I die, there will be someone at home to support us..."
The soldier was chattering and his voice was low. Yeon Gaesumun had a vague feeling that this soldier was a paranoid, and it was indescribably strange. When he saw the stab wound on his abdomen, he nodded to Jin Sanhu next to him and gave an order.
A fierce Goguryeo soldier rushed over and slashed the Sui soldier's limbs with a scabbard, breaking all his limbs and bones. The soldier lay on the ground and let out a low wailing, but even so, he did not beg for mercy and remained still.
There was something muttered there but I didn’t know what to say.
Yeon Gae Suwen and others suddenly changed their colors when they saw this. You must know that this is obviously just an ordinary soldier. It stands to reason that among thousands of soldiers, there is one such brave and fearless person with a strong will like steel and an inhuman existence. But this is obviously random.
Was it just such a coincidence that he captured a prisoner, or was this the case for all the other soldiers?
If this is the case, how did Wang Junlin train soldiers? What is the magic power of the Snake Island training camp? Does Wang Junlin know any magic?
Jin Sanhu came closer and heard him still cursing. He roared angrily and chopped off his head with a knife. Blood flowed all over the ground. Yeon Gaesumun turned to look at another Sui soldier prisoner and gritted his teeth and said: "Stupid and stubborn"
I am not afraid of killing a few more of those who are not in the dark. Those who are willing to do things for us will not only not be killed, but they will also become our Goguryeo nobles..."
"Noble, your mother! Idiot, idiot!" The other prisoner of the Sui soldiers with an injured abdomen was not frightened at all. He cursed with a flushed face and uneven breath: "Hurry up and kill me. I am in the Snake Island training camp.
Those who have been tempered inside will never surrender."
For some reason, when Yeon Gaesumun heard the words "Snake Island Training Camp" again, he felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
Yeon Gaesumun's face turned pale and he nodded slightly to Jin Sanhu, and the body and head of the second Sui soldier prisoner were separated.
He originally wanted to use these two prisoners to understand the enemy's strength, see if he could defeat some of the enemy's powerful weapons, and find a way to win, but he did not expect that the two Sui prisoners seemed to be possessed.
This was something Yeon Gaesomun had never thought of before. When he thought that the soldiers on the opposite side might be like this, Yeon Gaesomun felt an inexplicable feeling of fear in his heart.
Yeon Gaesumun took a deep breath and stopped outside the tent. A harsh sound broke through the air on the west hillside opposite. The entire west wall was under the threat of the enemy's trebuchets and long-range crossbows on the west hillside. Many soldiers
After making an evasive action, those long-range crossbows also fired a volley. Yeon Gaesumun knew that this was a harassment tactic of the enemy. In fact, it did not cause much damage to them, but it was difficult for the Goguryeo soldiers to do anything behind the earthen wall.
sense of security, and constantly weakening their morale.
"Here's the order. Today we will only send auxiliary troops to dig trenches, and archers to shoot arrows in scattered directions. They don't have to be concentrated, but they can't be cut off either. All armies must be fully prepared. All passages in the earthen walls should be dug out, and planks should be put up to pass them. The planks should be removed at night...
"
After the soldiers rushed to each camp to deliver the order, Yeon Gaesumun looked at Baeryeong City, gritted his teeth and said secretly: "Wang Junlin, you evildoer, I will definitely kill you. I have sworn it, I have sworn it countless times.
, I must kill you."
…
…
There were several dull sounds of stone bullets hitting the ground, and the harsh sound of several long-range crossbows piercing the air. Several Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers poked their heads out of the trench to have a look, then leaned their hoes against the wall of the trench and sat down.
Breathing loudly, they were in the middle of the enemy's earthen walls, and they were using trenches to approach Wang Junlin.
They dug trenches for several days, and the losses were huge. They didn't know how to dig at first. As a result, they dug straight through in a daze at first. During the day, they were beaten by the rapid crossbows fired by Wang Junlin's soldiers and were stunned.
, so they kept improving, digging sideways at night, and gradually found a scale method, which was to go straight at night and sideways during the day, and they would soon approach the blocking ditch on Wang Junlin's side.
However, the progress was not fast, because once they felt it was fast, the Goguryeo soldiers supervising the battle in the rear would ask them to stop, lest they become the key target of Wang Junlin's side.
In the past few days, Wang Junlin's side no longer made sneak attacks, but only used long-range attacks to kill a small number of casualties, while weakening the morale of the Goguryeo side's soldiers.
A Goguryeo auxiliary soldier said to the soldiers supervising the battle at the rear: "If we dig further forward, the Sui people will be able to shoot us with rapid-fire crossbows in the blocking ditch."
"I know." The Goguryeo soldier glanced towards the back. The main earth wall there was already one foot and five feet high, almost exceeding the wall on Wang Junlin's side opposite. However, if they were to shoot at each other, they would be within seventy steps.
It can only projectile, but the opponent can shoot directly, so there is still no advantage in fighting.
The soldiers of the other side were highly motivated and full of fighting spirit. Opposite them there was a platform with several long-range crossbows. Anyone who accidentally showed his body would be nailed to the ground immediately.
