Chapter 716: Victory Thousands of Miles Away

Buyeo Castle is a large city with a circumference of more than ten miles.

It is also a mid-mountain city, and he is backed by the mountains of Fuyu River, but he faces the open Songliao Plain. It is precisely because of the characteristics of this mountain city that it is large, but there are loopholes in its defense.

This flaw is the western wall, which is the wall facing the plain.

The terrain in front of the west city is flat and very open, although the river can be used as a moat, but in the northeast, in autumn, some rivers will dry up and have no water, and in winter and spring, they will freeze again, so the practicality of the moat is not high.

Because of this, Buyeo City did not introduce a river as a moat, but dug a deep and wide trench. Sharp wooden stakes were planted in the ditch, and on the bank of the moat against the city wall, a wall of sheep and horses nearly high was specially built.

Only one bridge was left on the moat, and a bridgehead was built on the bridge, and the bridge was built into a suspension bridge, which could be hoisted at any time.

Because the southern wall was on the plain and not dangerous enough, the Goguryeo people opened only one gate on the southern side, and built an urn fortress outside the city gate to protect the city gate.

On the city wall, there are enemy towers.

In the past, this Buyeo city on this Songnen Plain, can be described as a majestic city, Khitan, Xi people, Murwei, Yan and other tribes, are only looking at the city and sighing, the light cavalry of the nomadic tribe, it is too difficult to break through this city.

But at this time, for Luo Shixin and other loyal soldiers, Buyeo City is a dead city.

Under Luo Cheng's repeated arrangements, there were only 30,000 lone troops in Fuyu City, and half of them were scattered among more than 40 other large and small mountain fortresses, and now they were divided and intercepted by the Sui army, and they did not dare to leave the city.

In Buyeo City, there are only more than 15,000 defenders, even if the young and strong people in the city are temporarily mobilized to defend the city, for the loyal army with powerful siege equipment, this is still a piece of meat on the board.

"The commander has made enough preparations for us, cleared all obstacles, and now, we have an absolute advantage, so everyone will take this city in one go, and then return to the division victoriously, don't waste time here. When I take the city, I ask for credit for you! ”

Shixin rode on horseback and stood only five miles below the city of Buyeo, and the generals took orders to leave.

"Teacher, what are the chances of our army, how long will it take to take Buyeo City?" Shixin asked Li Jing next to him.

Li Jing smiled, "If nothing happens, it will be able to take it in about three days." ”

"Can it really be so fast?"

"I see that the Goguryeo people are frightened and demoralized, especially this city, there is neither the danger of the new city, nor the soldiers of Liaodong City, such a city, it is possible to deal with those Hu people in northern Liaobei before, but we are prepared this time."

At the beginning, the Sui army attacked Liaodong City, but it could not be attacked for a long time, and one of the key points was that it came from afar to conquer and was not well prepared for ordnance. Therefore, Luo Yi captured Wuluoli City, and later the emperor captured Liaodong City, and Li Yuan captured Xincheng, all of which were attacked by Duiyuliang Avenue.

Although this Yuliang Avenue is also a siege method, it is too backward after all, and it is far less efficient and faster to build a dirt mountain to attack the city, which is far less efficient and faster than equipment such as Linchong and cloud ladders.

Of course, what is more important is the morale of the army.

Now Buyeo City has become a lonely city, and the morale of the army is seriously low, on the other hand, the loyal army, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the equipment is complete, so everyone is naturally high in morale.

Li Jing stood there, watching from afar as the soldiers and horses spread out towards the city.

Everything is in order, there is nothing to be excited about.

This battle was even a bit dull for Li Jing.

It is said that the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, in fact, an excellent general will do his homework before the battle, try to maximize the advantage, and when there is enough advantage, he will launch an attack, and under normal circumstances, he will not fail again.

There are very few people who can win more with less and stronger with the weak.

A good general, there is no need to take risks.

Unless the situation is very unfavorable and the army is in danger as a last resort, there is no need at all.

Just like this battle, as early as a few years ago, Luo Chengcheng was planning and preparing.

Finally, by now, Luo Cheng already had enough advantages, and then successfully deceived Yuan Taizuo strategically, so now under the city of Buyeo, the loyal army can have such a big advantage.

Originally, the loyal army and the Yuan clan were on a par with the soldiers and horses in Liaodong, and Luo Cheng's loyal army was stronger in combat effectiveness, but the Yuan clan defended at home and had a large number of dangerous mountain cities.

But the Yuan clan lost strategically.

He gave Luo Cheng a few years to prepare, which was the most deadly.

When Luo Cheng finally launched an attack a few years later, he panicked to respond, but the original situation of five or five has now become Luo Cheng's one-sided advantage.

"Luo Shuai is a master of strategy, handsome!" 、

Li Jing sighed sincerely, this is the decisive victory thousands of miles away.

Although Luo Cheng was not there in this battle, he was actually commanded by him.

on the battlefield.

The light cavalry of the tribe had already begun to gallop, and they galloped unscrupulously under the city, showing off their riding and archery skills proudly, rushing close to the city, and then firing arrows at the city.

After shooting the arrow, there was a whistling sound, and the turn was bypassed.

The extremely high speed made the Goguryeo people in the city constantly scream and fall down at the same time, but there was not much to do about them.

In the back, the infantry of the Loyamu Army had slowly advanced with their shields and bows and arrows, and they were lined up in a neat array, whether they were spearmen or sword players, they were now easily carrying bows in their hands.

It's really not too easy to face an enemy who can only be beaten and can't fight back.

Trench fillers followed.

There were hundreds of trench trucks.

"Did you say that Yuan Jiantu would go out of the city to fight?" Shixin asked.

"Probably not." Li Jingdao judged by Yuan Jiantu's recent reactions, if he was Yuan Jiantu and found that the Sui army was going to attack, he would abandon some small mountain cities as soon as possible, and then concentrate his forces to defend several large mountain cities, and at the same time fortify the walls and clear the wilderness. But Yuan Jiantu didn't do anything, it seemed that he was just sitting there waiting to be killed, how could such a person dare to go out of the city to fight.

The facts were also as Li Jing expected.

The Sui army advanced slowly, but there was no reaction in the city.

The auxiliaries of the Loyal Army easily erected the trench-filling carts, and on the long trench, eight trench-filling carts erected a passage twelve zhang wide at intervals.

Then the Linchong Chariot and the Cloud Ladder Chariot passed easily.

Then, catapults and siege crossbows also passed.

When the catapults and siege crossbows were in place, the first boulder was thrown and smashed into the city wall of Buyeo, and the ground shook the mountain, and no one in the city came out of the city to fight.

One after another, boulders continued to be thrown into Buyeo City, with ballistas as thick as eggs in between.

Then, the infantry of the Sui army who arrived at the city suppressed the city with a rain of arrows.

Then the chariots and ladder carts arrived at the city, and many leather carts and wooden donkeys covered a large number of sword players also arrived at the city.

At this time, the Goguryeo in the city began to fight back desperately, but it was too late.

Under the cover of powerful catapults, siege crossbows, and infantry arrow arrays, it was difficult for the Goguryeo people to even probe, and one after another Linchong vehicles lowered the overpass and set up directly at the head of the city.

Hundreds of ladder trucks have also begun to erect auxiliary elevators to the city.

One by one, the sword players of the loyal army roared like chicken blood and began to take the city.

In the rushing car, one by one knife players held a shield in front of them, and their right hand crossed the knife, shouting and stepping across the overpass. One by one, they jumped into the city, like divine soldiers descending from heaven.

Distance.

Li Jing surrendered his hand to Luo Shixin.

"Congratulations to the general, Buyeo City has been taken, it's only been half a day!"

"Kill the chicken with a knife."

"Wrong, the lion fights the rabbit, and also uses all his strength, Luo Shuai's strategy this time is excellent, and it can be a model for using soldiers, general, you should study hard." Li Jing said.
