Chapter 1013: Capture the thief to capture the king
"Report to the general, kill 300 people in Goguryeo tonight and capture 100 people!"
When the sky was slightly bright, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had already counted the battlefield and reported it to Xia Hongsheng and Xi Junmai. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xi Junmai nodded, let the man go down, and then said, "Damn, there are only about 500 people, so you dare to come to steal the camp?" Goguryeo people are scared crazy? ”
"I said that I didn't sweat last night, and the Goguryeo people were gone. Dare to love only 500 people? Cheng Chumo looked very unsatisfied, and said: "No wonder Lao Cheng thinks I'm so unhappy!" ”
saw Xia Hongsheng beside him bowing his head and thinking about it, and said: "These Goguryeo soldiers are afraid that they have been deceived, and they have been sent to death to be cannon fodder." I am afraid that the real purpose of last night's move was not to attack the camp, but to find out the truth of our army, and to take advantage of the chaos to escape a few people to go out to spread the news. ”
Hearing Xia Hongsheng say this, Xi Junmai was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The Goguryeo people died a lot last night, and I am afraid that the matter of exploring the truth of our army will not be achieved." It's much more serious to just run out and spread the message than to find out what we're doing. Once Pyongyang has contact with the outside world, it will be known that the city of Anshi has not been broken, and we are just a small group of strange soldiers, and they will pour out to besiege us. Garrisons elsewhere will also learn that Pyongyang is under siege and immediately bring in troops. When the time comes, we will be attacked on both sides. ”
Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Yes, this is indeed a serious problem. ”
Everyone looked at him, and wondered what he had in mind.
I saw Xia Hongsheng pause and said, "However, it's not too serious. Not to mention that these Goguryeo people didn't know our details last night. Let's just say those who took advantage of the chaos to escape from the siege. They must go in the direction of Anshi City to find out if the news of Anshi City is true. It's not close to Anshi, and it will take a few days to get a whip quickly. After a trip back and forth, maybe the city of Anshi has been taken by His Majesty and the two governors. Don't forget, Your Majesty still has a hundred artillery pieces in his hands! Besides, the closest big city to Pyongyang is also the city of black bones. The siege of Pyongyang can only be solved by the garrison of the Black Bone City. If you go to the Black Bone City, you have to run for a few days, and the guards of the Black Bone City will come with troops, and it will take a few days. At that time, maybe we were already in Pyongyang. Relying on the city to block it with artillery, how can it last for a few days. At that time, if Your Majesty can't take Anshi City and then bring troops over, then it will not be a famous general of our Tang Dynasty. ”
"So for now, we should take Pyongyang as soon as possible." Li Yexu said.
Xi Junmai nodded, thought for a while, and said, "We must take Pyongyang as soon as possible and let the defenders in Pyongyang surrender." I have a solution. However, this method is also difficult. ”
Xia Hongsheng looked at Xi Junmai, and didn't know if what he said was the same as he thought, so he said: "Brother Junmai, I happen to have a method, which is also more dangerous. Why don't you and I count three times and talk together? ”
"Good! I'll count! Fang Yiai smiled and said: "I watched Brother Sheng'er's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before, and Zhuge Kongming and Zhou Yu wrote on the palms of their hands, let's see if the two of you have such a tacit understanding!" ”
"One, two...... Three! "Fang Yi's love counts.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first!"
"Operation Decapitation!"
Xi Jun bought Yu Xia Hongsheng and said in unison.
"Hahahaha......" everyone laughed together.
The decapitation operation, everyone learned in the military school.
"I just don't know if our artillery can reach the palace city of Goguryeo." Xi Junmai said: "There are only a few dozen artillery, but there are many mortars, but they can't shoot that far. ”
Xia Hongsheng nodded, and then said, "That's right. If you want to cross the city wall and bombard the palace wall directly, you must place the artillery on a high place, at least almost level with the city wall. But the only place that is high is the mountain. But if it reaches the mountain, it is too far away, and I am afraid that I will not be able to fight it. ”
"Just send someone to sneak in and take Gao Jianwu out!" Cheng Chumo said.
"Say it lightly!" Li Yexu retorted: "You have never entered the palace, you should know that the palace is heavily guarded." Although Goguryeo is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, the palace is on guard, and I am afraid that it is not less than the Tang Dynasty. And it's wartime, so it's bound to be even more severe. It's still a matter of whether you can find Gao Jianwu when you go in. Even if you find him, can you get out of Miyagi with him, sneak out of Pyongyang City, and return to the army? ”
"I just said it casually!" Cheng Chumo smiled: "Anyway, Brother Sheng, they must have an idea." ”
Xia Hongsheng looked at him angrily and said, "If Brother Yi and his gang are here, they can also try it like this." Just because there are no such capable people in our army at the moment, this is nonsense. ”
"What then?" Liu Renshi asked.
Xia Hongsheng closed his eyes and was silent. Everyone knew that he was thinking, so they didn't bother, just waited quietly.
After a while, I saw Xia Hongshengfu open his eyes again, smiled, and said, "There is a way." However, it is just a matter of hard work for the soldiers. ”
"Oh? How? Xi Junmai immediately looked at Xia Hongsheng in surprise, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
Xia Hongsheng smiled and opened his mouth to spit out two words: "Zhuqiu!" ”
"Tsukika?" Everyone was stunned.
But I heard Xia Hongsheng continue: "I look at the surrounding mountains and forests, not the rugged stone mountains. There is a lot of soil on the rocks, so that the soldiers can dig the soil into a mound where the artillery can pass through the palace, raise it, and the artillery can be mounted on it, and it can naturally bombard the palace. ”
This method is actually not Xia Hongsheng's original.
In the original history, when Li Shimin attacked Goguryeo, he attacked Anshi City for a long time without going down, and Li Daozong proposed to build a mound, and began to build a dirt mountain in the southeast of Anshi City for attacking Anshi City.
For this reason, Anshi Castle has also continuously raised the walls in the southeast.
After two months of confrontation between the two sides, Li Daozong's earth mountain was high enough to see the inside of Anshi City. Li Daozong and his subordinate Fu Fuai climbed to the top of the earth mountain. Suddenly, Tsuchiyama collapsed and fell on the walls of Anshi Castle. As a result, the walls of Anshi Castle collapsed.
The collapse of the walls of Anshi City was an opportunity that Tang Jun dreamed of. If you seize the opportunity to attack from this gap, the city of Anshi will be broken, and history will be rewritten.
It's a pity that Fu Fuai left his post without permission at this time and failed to organize an attack. However, Goguryeo took advantage of the chaos to launch an attack and occupy Tusan, making it a weapon for the defense of Anseongseong. worked hard to plan, but made wedding clothes for others, how could Li Shimin endure it? In a fit of rage, he publicly executed Fu Fuai and ordered a frenzied attack on Tushan. But I didn't take it down after three days. Li Daozong then asked Li Shimin for his guilt barefoot, but Li Shimin forgave him.
What Xia Hongsheng was going to do was to follow this method and build a mound to a height that would allow artillery to pass over the city wall and directly attack Miyagi.
