Chapter 1200: Night Attack
As the night progressed, everything went on, and the soldiers in Gyeongju Castle were always on the lookout, although many people did not believe that what Hwarang said was true.
There are stars and no moon tonight, because it is late autumn, and the night is always dark.
Unconsciously, it was already the third watch, and at this time, there were more than 20 black shadows flashing under the city, and at this time, a person on the city tower suddenly shouted: "The enemy is coming!" ”
Everyone had hurriedly looked down, so they couldn't help but say, shooting arrows downwards again and again, and there were screams below, but the speed of those Dongying people was too fast, and because it was dark, things like bows and arrows couldn't play much role at all.
Seeing that those black shadows were about to climb up, but at this moment, there was a sudden scream from below, and those who were about to climb suddenly fell down because their hands left the wall, although the wall was not high, but it was not easy to fall, at least for a few days.
But they didn't need to keep it, for at the very moment they fell, stones fell from the towers, and they killed them all.
Things happened too strangely, the Goryeo rebels and the Dongying people saw this, and finally went crazy, they rushed to the city gate desperately, and at this time, on the top of the city tower, sharp arrows, stone and wood and other things smashed like a rain of flowers, and the screams continued, but those Dongying people and Goryeong people did not mean to retreat.
They've gone crazy, and you can't keep crazy people sane.
And just when the fighting was going on here, there was a small team that quietly infiltrated the enemy camp according to Hua Lang's order, and their task today was very simple, that is, to burn the enemy's grain and grass.
This was not a difficult husky, so soon, the enemy camp began to burn a raging fire, the fire lit up the whole sky, and when the enemy found that their grain and grass were burned, their hearts were suddenly nervous, there was still a mood to fight here again, and hurriedly beat the drums to collect the troops, and rushed back to save the life.
The night passed like this, and it was only after dawn that everyone felt what victory was like for the first time.
The combat effectiveness of these Liao soldiers is not weak, they are just afraid of the Dongying people in their hearts, because in their eyes, the Dongying people are too fast, and they are simply ghost soldiers.
After this battle, their morale was high, and they no longer felt afraid of the Dongying people, and if they fought a few more such victories, their victory would come.
And when the Gyeongju Castle kept celebrating, the enemy camp here Nanwang Wang Nan and Yamaguchi Ichida scolded angrily, the grain they had worked so hard to grab was burned like this, and there was no food and grass, how could they fight?
Wang Nan is a prince, so he has a big temper, but after scolding a few words of Baga, Yamaguchi Yitian quickly regained his composure, and after he calmed down, he called someone over and asked: "How many soldiers and horses, how much grain and grass did we lose last night?" ”
The soldier who was called for questioning looked very frightened, but he still replied: "Last night we died more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, of which 7,000 were in Goryeo, and 3,000 of us Dongying people died. ”
As soon as Wang Nan heard that there was such a little grain and grass left, he immediately became worried: "There is so much grain and grass left, what should we do?" Why don't we take a detour and attack somewhere else? ”
Hearing Wang Nan's words, Yamaguchi Yitian smiled coldly: "How is it possible, except for attacking Gyeongju City now, we are afraid that we will not be able to capture any other city, we have no ships, we don't have enough food, we can only fight the enemy here." ”
Wang Nan was very aggrieved, but there was no way at all, and now they are afraid that there is only one way left for them to go.
So after some thought, Wang Nan asked, "General Yamaguchi, what should we do next?" ”
Yamaguchi Ichida thought for a while and said: "The enemy just dealt with us like this, then the only thing we can do is to attack, as long as we attack the city, our food and grass can be replenished, at that time, whether it is advancing or retreating, we have a choice, but now, we have no choice." ”
Wang Nan nodded: "Okay, then let's start attacking now!" ”
Yamaguchi Ichida shook his head: "There was a big battle last night, we consumed too much and couldn't fight anymore, let the soldiers rest first, and then fight when we have enough rest, and we must think of a good strategy when we fight this time." ”
At this time, Wang Nanwei Yamaguchi Yida's order was obeyed, so he did not raise any objections to this, so he had to give an order to let the soldiers rest well.
And at this time, the people in Gyeongju City are celebrating, and of course, in addition to celebrating, they are also discussing what to do next.
Of course, here in Gyeongju City, what to do next has to be arranged by Hwarang, after Hwarang drank a glass of wine, he said: "The enemy was attacked by us at night, but I am afraid that they will not dare to act at night anymore, they do not have much food and grass left, I think in the next few days, they will fight with us in order to achieve a quick victory." ”
"In that case, then let's drink them and fight!" Xiao Mo was full of pride, and those Liao troops also shouted so loudly, and the morale of the entire Gyeongju City was high for a while.
Hua Lang nodded, it's time to fight to the death, the Liao soldiers are so strong, if they just guard the city gate here, it would be too big and useless, after some thought, Hua Lang said to Xiao Mo: "Archers Shi Mu and so on must be prepared, before the enemy fights, what we can do is to consume their men and horses as much as possible, until the end, we can fight to the death with them, and my final request is very simple, that is, these people have no return." ”
"There is no return!"
"There is no return!"
The Liao soldiers kept shouting loudly, their morale was a lot higher, and after shouting like this, everyone went down to do their own work, this whole day, the enemy side did not have any reaction, but at this time, everyone did not have any intention of relaxing their vigilance, because at this time, they already believed in Hua Lang very much, since Hua Lang said that they would fight quickly in the next few days, then they could send troops at any time.
A day and a night passed like this, and the next day, suddenly thousands of horses galloped in the distance, and a Liao soldier shouted: "The enemy is here again, prepare for battle." ”
After this sound, everyone immediately stood on the city wall and became vigilant, and the archers prepared their bows and arrows early, just waiting for the enemy to rush in, so that they could start killing people.
But at this time, they found that it was the people of their Liao country who were walking ahead of the enemy.
