Liu Zhisheng called his subordinates over and whispered: "There is a Goguryeo military fort ahead. Your Excellency has previously ordered that in addition to killing the enemy's scouts, we are also responsible for luring the enemy out of the city. What I mean is that we fight them.
Once, I let some people escape to see if I could lure the Goguryeo army out of the city."
Everyone nodded at the same time with a fighting spirit on their faces. Liu Zhisheng took the stones and arranged them in the shape of a hill to the north. After some discussion, they led their horses to sneak towards the north under the cover of the trees.
Half a quarter of an hour later, a trumpet sounded, and eleven people on horseback rushed towards the Goguryeo military fort in a fan shape.
The Goguryeo people on the top of the mountain were the first to notice. They roared loudly, jumped on their horses, and headed south to fight. One man turned around and ran to the military fort to report the news. The Goguryeo people's military forts were all based on the farm system, and the soldiers lived in the military as a family.
Near the fort, there were children and women here. After hearing the police, they yelled and fled to the military fort.
The so-called fort of the Goguryeo people was actually an outpost, with a group of twenty soldiers. At this time, under the leadership of the fort commander, these twenty soldiers held riding bows in their hands and rode their horses to greet Liu Zhisheng and his party.
Eleven special operators held the reins with one hand and drew their rapid-fire crossbows with the other hand, preparing to attack after approaching.
When he was a hundred paces away, Liu Zhisheng clamped the horse's belly hard, and the horse immediately accelerated. The people behind followed closely and rushed straight towards the group of Goguryeo people.
Liu Zhisheng drew out his thick-backed saber with his left hand, and slapped the horse's butt with the blade. The horse galloped with all four hooves. The leading Goguryeo man had just raised his sword, but before he could swing it out, Liu Zhisheng's horse whirred past him.
He leaned down and grasped the handle of the knife, waved his right hand lightly, and the thick-backed saber instantly cut off the Goguryeo man's neck with the speed of the horse. The head and leather hat were carried high into the sky at the same time, and the remaining body was sprayed with red blood and fell to the ground.
Landed on the ground.
A sense of killing pleasure came to Liu Zhisheng's heart. He jogged his horse for a while before stopping. He checked that the saber blade was still intact. This kind of saber was only issued to their special forces. It was the latest product of the Shedao Arsenal. Liu Zhisheng dared to
I swear, any knife placed in the arena will cause a bloody storm, because every knife can be called a treasure.
At this time, one of the other ten people also committed suicide. Liu Zhisheng looked up and saw the remaining nine Goguryeo people fleeing to the northeast. Remembering his mission, he quickly pulled out the trumpet and blew it, and the ten subordinates withdrew one after another.
…
…
Forty miles south of Daluo City, a large number of Goguryeo soldiers who were forcibly escorted from Nanyang Village were sweating profusely and digging trenches. There were more than 700 people in total.
"Everyone, work harder and build the camp firmly. When Daluo City is captured, we will let you go. Those who want to stay as soldiers for us will be given one or two and a half cents of silver a month. Food and accommodation will be paid for by the public. Every day
There will be meat, wine, and steamed cakes and buns every day. If you want to leave, I will let you go. We adults keep our word and keep our word. On the contrary, if you are disobedient and still lazy, your death will be in vain."
These captive Goguryeo soldiers made strange screams and regained their freedom. Everyone thought that this was an indelible nature, so when hope reappeared, vitality also returned to them.
"Sir, will you leave later? Can you take me with you to Baengling Island? I will help you farm or fish." The speaker was an auxiliary soldier from Goguryeo who asked while digging the soil.
, his clothes were torn into strips, and his skinny body was exposed from the holes everywhere, but his face was full of sunshine. Compared to digging trenches, his previous life was more miserable than this.
The naval soldier who was watching them dig trenches smiled and said: "As long as you are willing, you can always follow us. At least you will live like a human being and have enough food and clothing."
The Goguryeo auxiliary soldier smiled stupidly, lowered his head and dug hard into the soil.
Wang Junlin was on the hill in the center of the military position. He couldn't help but smile when he saw this. These Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers lived a very miserable life. They didn't have much affection for the Goguryeo court and government. It was easy to fight for their lives. This was better than killing people.
It would be much better to force these people to work.
"Sir, the sentries sent by my subordinates have reported military information." Zhang Tiangang's voice sounded from behind.
Wang Junlin hurriedly took it and took a look. The fourth team of the first detachment of the special force had a cavalry battle with the soldiers of Goguryeo Fort No. 1, killing eleven of the enemy and deliberately letting nine others escape.
"Zhang Tiangang, do you think the Goguryeo army from Daluo City will come out?"
"My subordinates think it is unlikely that they will come out."
"reason!"
Zhang Tiangang said with a smile: "The first time Goguryeo sent out 15,000 people, and the second time it sent out 30,000 people to attack Daami Island and Baengling Island, they were both annihilated. Your Excellency defeated them, and I guess they were afraid of them."
Don’t dare to come out.”
Wang Junlin laughed and said: "That's not necessarily true. Yeon Gaesumun is responsible for the defense of Annan County. They lost to us before. They would probably think that it was at sea. Now that they are on land, they will not be afraid of us."
…
…
On April 26th, Wang Junlin's army set off towards the rising sun.
At the end of Chen hour, the sentry horses in front urgently reported the appearance of the Goguryeo brigade, heading south. They were all cavalry, and the Chinese sentry cavalry could not approach them. It was roughly estimated that there were about 2,000 cavalrymen and about 3,000 auxiliary troops.
Soldiers, they are coming very fast, and they are still ten miles away.
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "Sure enough, the other party thought that we only had the navy from the two islands, and their scouts could not get close. Apparently they didn't know that we also brought 10,000 elite army soldiers, who are here to die."
Zhang Tiangang asked in a low voice: "Sir, do you want to send more sentries?"
"It's rare that they dare to come out and let the sentries you sent to hold them back." Wang Junlin pointed to a gentle east-west hill next to the official road three miles away. "Send the order, march quickly to seize the top of the slope, and let Yuchi Jing
De's men and horses were arrayed on the north slope, and Lu Han's men were arrayed on the south slope. Luo Chunlai's 5,000 naval officers and soldiers were not allowed to cross the ridge without my order. Guan Xiaotong and Lu Han's 2,000 light cavalry were released to cover the other army formations.
Array."
Zhang Tiangang agreed and quickly sent people to convey orders to various ministries.
The order was quickly executed, flags were flying in the queue, and all the troops began to advance quickly, arriving at their positions, forming formations, or running.
Lu Han led a battalion of two thousand light cavalry who got on their horses and rumbled forward under the guidance of the sentinels.
Wang Junlin led more than 400 special forces to gallop on horseback. He quickly passed the infantry and followed the cavalry to the top of the mountain. After crossing the ridge line, the rolling hills of the north appeared before him like waves.
Two or three miles down the slope, some figures on horseback were chasing each other. Smoke was billowing from the direction of the official road covered by the hills, and there was a faint thunder-like sound. It was obvious that a large number of cavalry were approaching. The following light cavalry from Wang Junlin's side kept coming up the gentle slope.
Rush down and engage in a ranger battle two or three miles away to cover the main formation of Wang Junlin's side.
Wang Junlin turned to look to the right. Yuchi Jingde led 3,000 cavalrymen emerging from the ridge. The dense cavalry rumbled past Wang Junlin and skillfully began to form an array on the gentle slope.
