Chapter 547: Encirclement and Reinforcements
"Great Marshal, there are Inhumans and Ranger who claim to have captured the messenger sent by An Hu City, and there is important information to send!"
In the camp of the Middle Route Army, Liu Yi was thinking about how to fight this big battle, when he suddenly heard the voice of the guard.
Liu Yi frowned, and looked at the guards with some displeasure, he was the commander of the 700,000 army, and he also had to take care of the dispatch of the left and right million troops. This kind of thing of catching the enemy's messenger is big or small, and it is not at all the turn of Liu Yi to deal with it personally.
"Let General Gongsun take a look!"
The guard's face suddenly hesitated, and he whispered: "Yu Dashuai, that person is very stubborn, and he has to see Dashuai before he is willing to tell important information!" ”
Liu Yi's face suddenly sank, and he got up and said: "Go with Ben to take a look, if he really has important information to send, forget it, if not, then let him see the power of military law!" ”
Out of the handsome tent, with the guards to a small tent, waiting here Gongsun Du hurriedly said: "Dashuai, the person who came is a muddy person, oil and salt do not enter, you have to work to come." I was afraid that the fighter plane would be delayed, so I had to inform the marshal! ”
"It's okay, go in and have a look!"
Although the two are in the relationship between Weng and son-in-law, the army is the most strict place for the upper and lower levels, and Gongsun Du is also very aware of the current affairs to put himself in the position of deputy general, and he does not dare to be careless.
In the tent, Wu Yong and Chen Sheng waited anxiously.
Wu Yong's forehead kept sweating, and he looked nervously at the tent door from time to time, for fear that a team of soldiers rushed in and beheaded them on the spot. In my heart, I regret that I followed Chen Sheng to the death!
Wouldn't everyone be happy if they honestly handed over the captured messenger and received the reward? Why do you have to follow Chen Sheng when your brain is in water!
Liu Yi strode into the tent, followed by Gongsun Du and Chen Guan, who rushed to hear the news.
"So you said you had important information delivered?" Liu Yi has been in a high position for a long time, and he led the army out to fight, and the prestige on his body is increasing day by day, although it is only a faint inquiry, but in the ears of Wu Yong and Chen Sheng, it is no less than thunder!
Even Chen Sheng, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, couldn't help but change color, and he no longer had the performance of hob meat before.
"Will ...... General, the villain was fortunate enough to catch the messenger of An Hucheng with a few companions, this is a secret letter captured on him, and please take a look! ”
Chen Sheng stammered, and at the same time handed a small bamboo tube the thickness of a thumb with both hands.
The personal guard next to him took it instead of Liu Yi, and handed it to Liu Yi after a detailed inspection.
Liu Yi opened it and took a look, and found that it was all some messy ghost drawings, so he couldn't help frowning, and handed it directly to Chen Guan next to him: "Bai Shou, come and see!" ”
Chen Guan took it with a smile, glanced at it, and suddenly laughed: "This Goguryeo is still using such a low-level secret method as the Yin Talisman, it deserves to die in the country!" ”
After speaking, he took the letter paper and read it carefully, then closed his eyes and calculated silently, and after a few breaths, he suddenly smiled and said, "There is no important information, just a letter for help." Gao Yanqing knew that his troops were insufficient and his morale was low, and he could not resist the edge of our army, so he asked Gao Yanyou to send reinforcements to support! ”
Chen Sheng and Wu Yong next to him swiped the door of their heads and there were dense beads of sweat, they swore that they had important information, but in the end it was just the most common letter for help, Liu Yi had the heart to investigate, and it was not unjust to pull it out and cut it directly!
"That's not right! It shouldn't be! Why is it simply a letter asking for help to be sent overnight? It doesn't make sense! Chen Sheng muttered to himself.
"What? Sent out overnight? ”
Chen Guan, who was next to him, looked moved when he heard this, took the letter and looked at it carefully, and finally shook his head at Liu Yi, saying that there was nothing new to gain.
"General, general, we also captured a messenger who delivered a letter, it is alive!" Chen Sheng seemed to grasp the last straw, and suddenly shouted!
"Bring it here!"
The messenger who was captured alive was brought in, and several other members of Wu Yong's team were also brought in.
"Get on your knees!"
The soldier kicked the messenger in the crook of the leg, forcing the messenger to kneel.
Chen Guan waved his hand, and a white light spilled into the messenger's body. The messenger's eyes quickly dimmed. This is one of the skills that Chen Guan acquired after inheriting Zhang Liang's inheritance, and the effect is similar to hypnosis. The success rate depends on the difference in mental power between the two sides, which is naturally invincible for ordinary soldiers or low-level generals, but basically useless for slightly decent masters.
"Let me ask you, you ride your horse late at night, but where are you going?"
"Domestic City." The Courier replied dumbfounded.
"What's going on?"
"Ask for help."
"Why do you ask for help?"
"There are not enough troops in the city, there is not enough food and grass, and morale is low............"
"Is there any other reason?"
"And ...... And ......"
The messenger's sluggish expression suddenly began to struggle violently, Chen Guan was shocked when he saw this, and quickly shot two more white lights into the messenger's body, and asked sharply, "What else is the reason?" ”
The messenger's struggling expression slowly disappeared, and he muttered to himself, "And the city lord is critically ill!" ”
"What?"
Everyone in the big tent was shocked, this is a great piece of information!
Under Chen's control, the messenger told all the information he knew. It turned out that Gao Yanqing had physical problems long before the Pingzhou army attacked.
However, Gao Yanyou was happy to hear about it at that time.
Although it is said that Gao Yanqing is the backer of Goguryeo, what will Gao Yanyou, as the king, think in the face of Gao Yanqing, whose reputation far exceeds his own?
In fact, Gao Yanqing was first driven to Anhu City after failing to compete with Gao Yanyou's father for the throne. At that time, Anhu City was still called Xionghu City, and it was changed to Anhu after Gao Yanqing arrived, and anyone with a discerning eye could see what the specific meaning was.
Gao's father and son were strict against Gao Yanqing, but Gao Yanqing was extremely competitive, not only survived his younger brother, but also killed his nephew Gao Wunan!
It wasn't until Gao Yanyou came to the top that his body began to deteriorate sharply.
Usually Gao Yanqing is dead, and Gao Yan Younengle is amnesty to the world. But under the premise that the soldiers of the Pingzhou Army were pressuring, Gao Yanyou really didn't dare to let Gao Yanqing die!
However, natural changes will not be transferred by Gao Yanyou's will, and Gao Yanqing is still critically ill in the end.
An Hucheng immediately sent fast horses to send a message to the domestic city overnight, one was to ask for reinforcements for support, and the other was to ask Gao Yanyou to immediately send heavyweight ministers to take over the overall situation.
"Push people down!"
After the interrogation was over, Chen Guan waved his hand, signaling to press down the messenger, who had been crushed into a half-stupid person.
"This news is important! You have indeed made meritorious contributions, and General Gongsun will reward you appropriately according to your merits. ”
After speaking, Liu Yi turned his head to look at Gongsun Du and said, "General Gongsun is tired of taking them down to issue awards, and ordering the captains of all departments to immediately come to the commander's tent to hold a military meeting!" ”
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Yi's tent was already crowded, and Gongsun Du hurriedly settled the issue of the adventurer's reward and returned to the big tent.
"This is the case, what do you think, please speak freely." Liu Yi introduced the general situation to everyone, and then asked the captains.
"Dashuai, this is a good opportunity! Gao Yanqing is seriously ill, and the dragons of Anhu City are leaderless, we should attack immediately and take Anhucheng in one go! ”
Before Liu Yi's words fell, a lieutenant immediately proposed.
"Yes, Dashuai, you have broken through Anhu City, and Pingchuan is behind you, and it is directly the domestic city of Goguryeo. I also suggest taking advantage of the emptiness of Anhu City's defenses and launching an attack immediately! ”
"Let's fight!"
"Dashuai, the last general is willing to be a pioneer!"
………………
There was a sound of war in the big tent.
Liu Yi looked at the two deputy generals, Gongsun Du and Xu Huang, and said, "General Gongsun and General Xu, what are your opinions?" ”
Gongsun Du hesitated for a moment and said, "Great Marshal, the last general also thinks that this is a good opportunity and is in favor of attacking immediately!" ”
"Where's General Xu?" Seeing that Xu Huang had been unable to speak, Liu Yi became interested and asked with interest.
"Dashuai!" Xu Huang got up and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "The last general thinks that it is best for us not to fight at this time, or not to really fight!" ”
"Why?"
"Dare to ask the marshal, how many troops are there in Anhu City?"
Without Liu Yi to speak, Chen Guan, who was in charge of intelligence, said directly: "Anhu City originally had 200,000 soldiers, and later because of our attack, more than 100,000 were suddenly recruited, but these 100,000 are purely a rabble and are vulnerable!" ”
"Dare to ask the military division, how many troops are there in the city in the country?"
"The original strength was 500,000, and now it is estimated that there will be at least 800,000!"
"In the defense of the city, the gap in the combat power of the soldiers has been smoothed out to the maximum. 800,000 enemy troops, plus the huge city of the domestic city, even if our army breaks through the domestic city, the loss will not be small, which is estimated to be what the lord does not want to see. ”
"However, in the field battle, Goguryeo's 800,000 army, our army sent 300,000 troops is enough to easily defeat, I think you have no opinion on this, right?"
Everyone in the big tent immediately laughed, and even shouted directly: "General Xu looks down on those barbarians, and giving the last general 200,000 troops is enough to defeat Goguryeo!" ”
Liu Yi waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then looked at Xu Huang and asked, "So, what does Gongming mean yes?" ”
"Marshal Qiqi, the opinion of the last general is to besiege but not attack, create a sense of crisis for Anhu City, and then force the domestic city to send reinforcements. Our army uses the strategy of encirclement to send reinforcements, consume the enemy's living forces in the field battle, and prepare for the final breakthrough of the domestic city! ”
After a pause, Xu Huang said again: "As for Anhu City, without Gao Yanqing's command in the city, morale will definitely plummet." Our siege further undermined the morale of Anhu City; Then after the reinforcements in the inner city are defeated by us, the morale of Anhu City will definitely drop to the freezing point! Please come forward, the last general thinks that it is very likely that he will take Anhu City bloodlessly! ”
"Good!"
Liu Yi suddenly shouted, got up and said, "Gongming's plan is very much in line with my wishes, and the general intends to divide the troops." Since Gongming said that the 300,000 army defeated Goguryeo, then the general would give you 300,000 troops, and Xu Huang listened to the order! ”
"The last general!" Xu Huang's face turned red with excitement, and he stepped forward and shouted.
"Order you to lead 300,000 troops, bypass Anhu City, and wait for an opportunity to annihilate the reinforcements of the domestic city. As for the others, they will besiege Anhu City with this general and respond to General Xu Huang! ”
"Obey the general's orders!"
