c_t; Wang Meng naturally did not agree with their explanation, and refused to carry out the order to attack on the grounds of bad weather, which was disobedience and lack of discipline, but Wang Meng would not deal with them with military law, because they were all leaders of various countries, and they were still needed, so they must be gentle. []//

"Ben Jiang knows that the weather is extremely bad today, but Ben General didn't let you break through the pill capital, does it take good weather to attack the pill capital?" Wang rebuked fiercely.

Seeing Wang Meng's anger, King Wofu and King Sanhan and others all bowed their heads and were silent, obviously, they were very afraid of Wang Meng, and they were afraid from the bottom of their hearts, although they were all kings of a country, and their status was the highest in the country, but the status of the kings of small countries was far inferior to that of the courtiers of large countries, and the weakness of national strength and military strength determined that their status could only be under Wang Meng.

"The general is angry, I will go back and gather troops later, and we will definitely launch an attack on Marudu City within half an hour." King Ma Han said loudly.

"The general is angry, Xiao Wang will go back and prepare." King Wofu hugged his fists.

Wang Meng looked at a few people, and said: "The general will only give you two moments of time, and after two moments, you must launch an attack on Marudu City, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"Yes, General." The crowd shouted in command.

Wang Meng waved his hand and told them to go to prepare for battle immediately, and everyone left in turn, and immediately returned to their respective camps to begin preparing for battle.

Since they were carrying out raid warfare, the pressure on their hearts was not very great, so in order to be able to cause the continuation of the raid, each army was divided into two same groups, so as to take turns to raid and harass, so as to exhaust the Goguryeo defenders in the city.

Two moments later, the soldiers and horses of Wofu and Sanhan began to approach Maruto Castle and launched a feint attack on Marutsu Castle with a trumpet sound.

Seeing the enemy attack, the Goguryeo defenders defending the city became nervous, and at this moment, most of the soldiers were resting in the barracks, after all, they were tired all night and were extremely tired. And there are less than 300 soldiers left on the city wall, and such a thin force is naturally unable to hold the city, for this reason. He immediately gave the order for all the soldiers who were resting in the large camp to rush to the city wall and prepare to fight the enemy forces besieging the city.

At this moment, the Goguryeo soldiers in the barracks had just taken a nap, and it was the moment when they were most sleepy. But suddenly received the task of garrisoning the city, and immediately all of them were irritable and scolded their mothers, but the military order is like a mountain, no matter how sleepy they are, they must carry out the military order, which is the duty of the soldier.

Soon, the yawning and sleepy-eyed Goguryeo soldiers, dragging their weapons, rushed to the city wall in a disorderly manner, and before the enemy army attacked outside the city. Ran up the walls.

The cold wind on the city wall was very strong, so after only a few moments of blowing on the city wall, the Goguryeo soldiers were completely awake, but the fatigue of the body could not disappear, after all, they had worked hard all night, but they did not get enough rest.

There are more than 10,000 armies that have been assembled outside the city to prepare for the siege, and. A large number of huge shields and ladders were erected, and it looked like it was vowing to break through the city.

It was this momentum of large-scale soldiers and horses that scared the Goguryeo generals who guarded the capital of Maru, so. Ignoring the fact that the soldiers under his command were exhausted, they were all transferred to the city.

The cold wind overnight caused the Goguryeo soldiers and horses to freeze to death and frostbitten more than 500 people, for this reason, the Goguryeo soldiers and horses stationed on the city wall at this moment only had 3,500 soldiers, and the troops were relatively weak, but. Relying on the sturdy Maruto Castle, it is still completely able to defend the city.

"Woo woo woo ......"

A loud horn sounded outside the city, and the soldiers and horses of Wofu and Sanhan had already begun to attack the city, and they held huge shields and rode the ladder to quickly attack in the direction of Marudu Castle, and soon approached the position where the city wall was less than a stone's throw away, and continued to advance.

"Arrows, arrows." The Goguryeo generals who defended the city of Marudu gave the order to attack.

"Whoosh ......" A rapid rain of arrows shot out and shot at the attacking enemy troops outside the city.

A large number ......of arrows landed on the giant shield, and only a small number of arrows hit the soldiers' bodies, causing certain losses to the attacking army.

"The moat has frozen, and the first team rushes over." A Wofu general gave a loud order, and a ten-man sword and shield soldier under his command rushed across the moat.

Hearing this, several soldiers stepped onto the ice of the moat with their shields in their hands, and cautiously walked towards the opposite bank.

The ice of the moat had just been formed, and although the climate was extremely cold, the ice was only more than an inch thick, barely enough to support a person to crawl forward, and it would definitely not work if he walked on the ice in full gear.

Sure enough, as soon as the ten soldiers reached the center of the moat, the ice cracked under their feet, and they instantly plunged into the icy water.

The ice in the moat was not enough to support the soldiers to move safely, which made the siege much more difficult, but fortunately, they received orders to attack, so there was no need to worry too much.

"Retreat, all retreat." The order to evacuate was given by the general Wofu.

With an order, the soldiers and horses of Wofu withdrew to a safe distance, and seeing that the soldiers and horses of Wofu had retreated, the soldiers and horses of Sanhan, who were unwilling to pay casualties, also withdrew under the walls of Marudu Castle and began to rest.

On the walls of Marudu Castle, the Goguryeo generals frowned as they looked at the evacuated enemy troops, who had just launched an attack and had withdrawn, depriving them of a large number of good opportunities to annihilate the enemy.

"General, the enemy has just retreated with a few casualties, this is obviously a feint, our army only needs to leave a small number of soldiers and horses to garrison the city wall, there is no need to let all the soldiers garrison the city, in this way, our army will be exhausted." A ministry general said.

"This Ben will naturally know, but if the next round of attacks is true, our army is unprepared, won't Marudu City be lost, how can Ben take this responsibility." Generals have heavy responsibilities and are naturally reluctant to take risks.

Soon, the soldiers and horses of Wofu and Samhan attacked again, and quickly retreated again, and this continued many times, convincing the Goguryeo generals that the enemy forces outside the city were indeed attacking in order to keep his soldiers and horses on the defensive, so that they would be exhausted.

"Order, let the soldiers return to the barracks to rest, leaving only six hundred men and horses to defend the city wall." The Goguryeo generals finally gave the order to preserve their sharpness.

In the palace of Marudu City, Gao Zhao was listening to the report of his henchman's personal soldier, who had infiltrated the Jin army camp many times in the name of delivering food, and had discovered a lot of valuable information.

"You mean that the Jin army entered the camp tent an hour after dinner, and never left the tent, nor did they make any preparations for war." Gao Zhao asked in surprise.

"Yes, Your Majesty. They had been quietly staying in their tents, without the slightest action. The confidant said.

When Gao Zhao heard this, he immediately understood that he had made a mistake in judgment, and last night's heavy snow and cold snap began in the middle of the night. And for more than two hours before that, the soldiers and horses of the Jin army did not make any preparations for war, which is enough to show that the soldiers and horses of the Jin army did not have night combat operations at all, and his prediction was completely wrong, but if it was not for the night combat operations. Why did the soldiers and horses of the Jin army rest in broad daylight? How can this make sense, Gao Zhao seemed a little delirious.

"Who else did you tell about this?" Gao Zhao stared at his confidant and asked in a low voice.

"The villain just rushed back and came directly to see the king, and he didn't tell anyone else."

Gao Zhao nodded reassuringly, and said, "You can't tell anyone about this matter, you know?" ”

"Don't worry, the villain won't tell anyone." The henchman assured.

"Anything else important?" Gao Zhao looked at his confidants and soldiers, and the meaning was very clear, if there was nothing important to report. You can leave.

The confidant hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "There is one thing, the villain doesn't know whether to say it or not?" After speaking, he looked at Gao Zhao worriedly.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it, say it!" Gao Zhao said.

The confidant thought for a while, and said softly: "King, when I was in the camp of the Jin army, the villain saw that the general and the chief general of the Jin army were quite close, and it looked like a good friend who could not be talked about. ”

Gao Zhao heard this. A surge of anger welled up in his heart, and he asked, "What did they talk about?" ”

"King, the villain can't get close to the big tent of the Chinese army of the Jin army, and can only observe from a hundred paces away. So you can't hear what they're talking about at all. The confidant said truthfully.

Gao Zhao naturally knew that it was impossible for his henchmen and soldiers to get too close to the big tent of the Jin army, but he just asked casually in anger.

"Someone, someone." Gao Zhao shouted angrily.

"The King." Several subordinates rushed over when they heard the order.

Gao Zhao frowned, and said with a straight face: "Gather the king's guards and arrest all the general's family members and henchmen in prison." ”

"Yes, my lord." The subordinate answered. Turn around and get ready.

"When you returned, what was the Jin army doing in the camp?" Gao Zhao continued to ask.

"Back to the king, most of the Jin army is still resting, and more than 100 soldiers and horses went to nearby villages in the early morning and robbed hundreds of sheep, as well as hundreds of cattle, and a lot of mules and horses." The confidant said truthfully.

Gao Zhao didn't care about the losses of these people, but what surprised him was why the Jin army had been hiding in the camp and not doing anything.

"Conspiracy, the Jin army must have a bigger conspiracy." Gao Zhao hurriedly paced in the hall.

In the direction of Liaodong, since the Goguryeo general Gao Yuan changed the direction of the attack, the situation became more and more favorable, and after waving his army to the south, Gao Yuan and his soldiers and horses successively occupied Juju Xinchang'an City and Wenxian City, and cut off the land connection between the capital of Liaodong and the southern Jinzhou City and other cities.

However, the Goguryeo people still miscalculated, although Han Yong's Yangzhou army was not very good at land warfare, but the water war was invincible, in the case of land transportation could not be contacted, Han Yong sent some soldiers to the southeast of Liaodong by water, and transported a large number of military supplies from the Mayoujin ferry to the direction of Xiangping City, in order to maintain the supply of the main army.

The Goguryeo people quickly discovered the situation of the Jin army using water routes to maintain supplies, however, they were not good at water warfare, and for this reason, although they found some ships, they could not have a substantial impact on the Jin army's sea transportation routes, so they could not trap the 60,000 main forces of the Jin army at all.

Of course, the main force of the Jin army is not good at field battles of the Yangzhou army, so they do not dare to rashly fight with the Goguryeo army in the open area, and the city can only be occupied by the Goguryeo army first, as long as they can firmly control Xiangping City, they can well contain the Goguryeo army, so that the Goguryeo army can not go to Jicheng to reinforce the Yan country, so as to reduce the pressure on the main force of the Jin army in Hebei, if the Goguryeo army insists on going its own way and insists on going to reinforce the Yan country, then the logistics supply line of Goguryeo will be cut off by the Jin army, As a result, it is impossible to maintain the daily needs of the army.

Han Yong and Wang Wu's move did not change to meet all changes, and it was indeed a good way to control the Goguryeo army, so that the Goguryeo army could only toss in this small place in Liaodong.

In the middle of the city, the Goguryeo lord Gao Zhao lived in the county office, and set up his own Chinese army tent in the county office, and all the major affairs in the army were studied and decided in the county government, as for the county officials who originally lived here, they had already cut off their heads and threw their bodies outside the city.

"Our army has captured four cities in a row, but the main force of the Jin army is still cowering in Xiangping City, refusing to come to the rescue, what a group of turtles with shrunken heads, bastards." Gao Yuan couldn't fight, so he scolded angrily.

Compared with the Jin army in Liaodong, the Goguryeo army has a lot of advantages in field warfare, as long as it is fighting in an open area, Gao Yuan has the certainty of victory, but if he concentrates all his forces to attack Xiangping City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the advantage of the Goguryeo people will be gone, so Gao Yuan can not let his soldiers consume strength in the attack on Xiangping City, but must find a way to transfer the Jin army out of the city, so as to facilitate them to destroy the enemy, but his wishful thinking obviously did not start, no matter how many cities he and his soldiers and horses occupied, The main force of the Jin army has never left Xiangping City and Shoushan, and it can be said that they completely ignored their existence, which made Gao Yuan very crazy.

"General, since the Jin army can't shrink, it's better for our army to continue south, capture Jinzhou City and Nanguan City in southeastern Liao, and occupy the Mayoujin Ferry, and take all the materials hoarded there by the Jin army, so that the Jin army will not have enough materials to maintain the supply of the Xiangping City army." A subordinate general said.

Gao Yuan glanced at the generals, and said: "Jinzhou City and Nanguan City have already sent scouts to investigate, and the defense is no worse than Xiangping City, and there are 20,000 troops stationed there, but I am afraid that our army will not be able to break through these two cities without paying a heavy price." ”

"Report, general, someone has come from the direction of Marudu City, and he is the king's henchman." A subordinate rushed to report...... 211
