Chapter 553: Soldiers Approaching the City
Anhucheng surrendered, and Liu Yi left 100,000 troops to be responsible for guarding Anhucheng, and at the same time selected the elite Goguryeo defenders in Anhucheng to join the ranks of the servant army.
However, the leader of this group of servant troops is not Gao Baqi, but Gao Yanqing's second son, Gao Lingnan. The reason why the second son led the army was because the eldest son, Gao Qifeng, was a diehard figure, and after Gao Yanqing's death, he intended to continue to resist stubbornly and was killed by his younger brother himself!
Leaving Anhu City, Liu Yi led 300,000 Pingzhou troops and 250,000 Goguryeo servant troops to the domestic city.
And Xu Huang also cleaned up the battlefield, leaving 50,000 troops to guard the prisoners, and after joining forces with Liu Yi, he directly attacked the domestic city.
Three days later, the forward of the Pingzhou Army appeared under the domestic city, and the domestic city was in chaos!
Gao Yanyou didn't think of relying on Du Boqing to defend Anhu City, his original plan was to delay time, but who knew that Du Boqing was so wasteful, not to mention his own death, and also buried the precious 400,000 elite troops, making the garrison of the domestic city extremely empty.
At present, there are 200,000 veterans in the cities of the country, more than 100,000 newly recruited troops, and more than 400,000 reinforcements from various places, totaling 800,000 troops.
However, Gao Yanyou had no confidence in whether the domestic city could be defended.
Among the 800,000 troops, there are only 200,000 veterans who really have combat effectiveness, and the others, whether they are newly recruited troops or reinforcements everywhere, are all miscellaneous cards among miscellaneous cards, and their combat effectiveness is so low that it makes people cry.
The incompetence of the rabble was vividly demonstrated in Xu Huang's previous battle, and Gao Yanyou didn't feel that he could be much stronger than Du Boqing at all.
Although the Pingzhou army has not yet attacked the city for the time being, the entire domestic city has been in chaos, and no one has the confidence to hold the domestic city!
In the palace of Goguryeo, Gao Yanyou was looking at the mysterious man in black in front of him with bloodshot eyes.
"King of the Mountain, have you decided?"
Although the man in black called Gao Yanyou the king of the mountain in his mouth, he did not have the slightest respect for the king on his face!
"You, what's the difference between you and the Han Chinese? You're all wolves! They are all eating the meat of our Goguryeo! Gao Yanyou looked at the man angrily and roared.
"Of course, there is a difference, the Han people regard you as Yidi, and we will treat you as brothers. Presumably, the king of the mountain has already understood that we have regarded Goguryeo as our own for generations, and the Han people are different. In their eyes, Goguryeo is Yidi no matter what, and it is the object that needs to be exterminated! ”
"Of course, the king can choose to surrender to the Han people, but what will be the result after surrendering, has the king considered it? Did the king hear about the fate of the Wuhuan people? In terms of relationship, the relationship between the Wuhuan people and the Han people is much closer than that of Goguryeo, the Wuhuan people have been dogs to the Han people for three hundred years, and they will be destroyed if they are destroyed, does the king think that Goguryeo will end up better than the Wuhuan people? ”
"Say no more!"
Gao Yanyou suddenly burst into a shout, directly interrupting the black-clothed man's bewitchment.
"Hey, hey, besides, don't you think it's too late to surrender to the Han people now, Your Majesty? Your brother Gao Baqi is the king of Dongchuan who is proclaimed by the Han people. Your sister-in-law is also secretly contacting the Han people, how many ministers in your court have two intentions, you won't know it, right? It's too late for you to be a dog for the Han people! The man in black ignored Gao Yanyou's anger and ridiculed him unscrupulously.
Gao Yanyou's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at the man in black with a murderous gaze, raising his hand several times, trying to call the guards. The man in black was not afraid, and boldly looked at Gao Yanyou!
After a while, Gao Yanyou suddenly sighed, slumped on the throne, and felt ten years old in an instant, and said in a low voice: "Can you really fulfill your promise?" ”
The man in black also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a loud voice: "Of course, in our history, the Great King has always been our ancestor, as long as the Great King is willing to cooperate, you will always be our Mountain King." The respected General Park is eloquent and strategic, and he plays all the top three powers in the world in the palm of his hand, this kind of pride, such wisdom, who else can there be except General Park? ”
Speaking of Pu Yin, the man in black suddenly flushed, looked excited, and said with his hands dancing.
Gao Yanyou looked at the man in black deeply, and said with some resignation: "I will give you what you want, and I don't want any mountain king, as long as I can have a lifetime of wealth and wealth, I will be satisfied!" ”
"The king is relieved, the position of the king of the mountain will always be yours, and it will always be the Gao family, and no one can take it away. General Park's heart is broad, and no one in the world can match it. The general's ambition is not just a Korean Peninsula that can be satisfied. The general is still waiting to fight with the king of the mountain! ”
Gao Yanyou's expression looked a little better when he heard this, and he nodded and said: "I have admired Xuyangjun for a long time, and now I can work under Xuyangjun, which is really the luck of Xiao Wang's three lives!" ”
"Please also ask the king of the mountain to rely on the fortified city to resist the Han people as much as possible, consume the enemy's troops, and at the same time buy time for the general's plan!"
"This is the proper meaning, Xiao Wang will definitely do his best!"
………………………………
The Pingzhou army was stationed less than fifty miles away from the domestic city, and from a high place, you could see the walls of the domestic city in the distance.
"Shuai, the terrain of the domestic city is very dangerous, the city wall is as high as 30 meters, and it is made of bastar. There are three big mountains in the east, west and north directions respectively, Longshan, Qixing Mountain and Yushan, the terrain is extremely dangerous, and only the south can be used for the army to deploy. However, the south is the key defense area of the puppet king Gao Yanyou, and more than half of the army of the domestic city is stationed on the south city wall, and it is extremely difficult to attack! ”
The man in white, who was called Qinghong, who appeared in the Yu clan's harem before, whispered beside Liu Yi.
Originally, according to Yu's meaning, Qinghong was sent to Xiangping to meet Shang Ji with heavy gifts. However, Qinghong was very lucky, and not long after leaving the domestic city, he was targeted by the ubiquitous rangers and strangers.
After several twists and turns, Qinghong was unable to go to Xiangping through the occupied areas, so he directly identified himself and visited Liu Yi, claiming that Yu was deceived by Gao Yanyou, and now he repented and was willing to assist the Celestial Empire army to defeat the puppet king Gao Yanyou.
"King Dongchuan, is what Qinghong said wrong?"
Liu Yi looked at Gao Baqi, whose face was pale, and asked loudly.
Gao Baqi hurriedly adjusted his expression, squeezed out a hint of a smile and said: "Back to Shangshuai, what Qinghong said is basically the same, but Xiao Wang knows a secret way to attack the domestic city from Longshan, which can help Wang Shi to quell the rebellion!" ”
Qing Hong's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he said urgently: "Shuai, Gao Baqi is plotting against him, intending to assassinate Wang Shitianbing, please also ask Shuai to investigate!" ”
"Demon, don't want to spew blood, I am loyal to the commander and the Celestial Empire, but it's you, as the personal guard for the demon woman, I think you are the spy sent by Gao Yanyou!"
"Gao Baqi, the secret passage you are talking about is the secret passage of Longshan, right? This secret passage is not a secret in the Goguryeo royal family, and the puppet king Gao Yanyou has long known about it! How could Gao Yanyou not take precautions? When you offer this secret passage at this time, aren't you intending to assassinate the Heavenly Soldier of the King? ”
"This ...... I...... I'm ......."
Qinghong's language was sharp, and he was speechless in just a few words.
However, Gao Baqi knew whose thighs he needed to hold, so he immediately knelt down in front of Liu Yi with a puff, and cried bitterly: "Commander Rongyu, Xiao Wang hopes that Wang Shi can put down the disobedience, and he neglected for a while, and almost harmed Wang Shi Tianbing, and please punish the commander!" ”
Liu Yi picked up Gao Baqi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly: "The king of Dongchuan is worried about the war situation, and it is inevitable that he will be a little negligent, what is the crime?" ”
Gao Baqi got up and thanked Liu Yi for his kindness, and at the end, he looked at Qinghong next to him defiantly, letting him know who the real big brother was!
"Qinghong, as the queen of Goguryeo, does the Yu family have the ability to send someone to open the city gate with us and welcome the king into the city?"
"Commander Rongyu, now that the domestic city has been under martial law, the villain has lost contact with the queen, and the inside and outside should only be more than enough to do things!"
"Hmph, after all, you're just talking about it. For the sake of the great cause of the king, this king personally took the risk to persuade Anhu City to surrender, and asked you to open the city gate to welcome the king's master into the city, and you are like this. Shangshuai, I see that this Qinghong and the demon queen are both grass on the wall, and they don't plan to really help Master Wang at all! ”
"Okay, both of them are friends of my Pingzhou Army, and the governance of Goguryeo will depend on the two of them in the future, remember not to do stupid things like relatives and enemies!" Liu Yi waved his hand and interrupted the tearing between the two.
"Yes, follow the instructions of the commander!" The two hurriedly said.
"After many days of wartime twists and turns, the two of you have also worked hard, so let's go down and rest first."
"Xiao Wang (the lower minister) retires!"
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Liu Yi smiled and said to Gongsun Du next to him: "Look at them, but there is no forgiveness for killing them!" ”
"The last general obeys!"
Looking at the dangerous terrain of the domestic city in the distance, Liu Yi also frowned. The terrain surrounded by mountains on three sides makes the siege difficult, and the casualties will definitely be very high if you attack strongly, which is something that Liu Yi cannot accept.
Sighing, Liu Yi took out a strange book, and with a few clicks, a three-dimensional virtual image of the domestic city appeared in the air.
In order to help the eldest brother capture Goguryeo as soon as possible, Shang Ji spared no effort to support.
The plug-in equipment of Vena was temporarily lent to Liu Yi. Liu Yi stared at the virtual boundaries displayed in Vena, observing with a solemn expression, trying to find a flaw in the city that could capture the domestic city very quickly.
Looking at it, Liu Yi's brows gradually relaxed, surrounded by mountains on three sides is certainly beneficial to the defending side, but at the same time, it also creates an extremely complex geographical environment.
There are many hidden trails that even the people in the domestic city don't know, let alone defend!
This was not a problem in the first place, after all, the secret passage that the locals did not know was almost impossible for the besieging party to know. However, Vena can easily scan and present these hidden paths.
After a while, Liu Yi discovered several secret roads in the mountains and forests that could be used.
After a while, Liu Yi closed the Vena book and carefully put the Vena into the Sumeru Na ring. He waved his hand to the guards beside him and said, "Go back to the camp, inform the generals, and come to the commander's tent to hold a military meeting!" ”
