Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 764
When the two armies are at war, they will not be beheaded.The two countries will form an alliance, and they should not rob allies.

But Qin Lang had already killed the envoy before, so naturally he didn't shy away from robbing another alliance now.

Qin Lang decided to seize Beisha City, if he could not do it softly, he would come hard.

Niu Jinda persuaded Beisha City to be fortified and difficult to attack, but Qin Lang had a trump card. He brought [-] soldiers from the Shenji Battalion this time, and he also brought a lot of secret firearms.

The most important thing about Beisha City is that it is a mountain city. The city wall is built along the ridge of Dahei Mountain, encircling the canyon around the mountain beams, and the city wall is built with rocks of different sizes. The width of the wall is two feet, and the height is two feet.

This mountain city began to be built after the Goguryeo people entered southern Liaoning at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It took a hundred years to continuously strengthen it, making it the center of southern Liaoning.

The stone city stretches for ten miles, with winding canyons inside the city and cliffs around the outside of the city. Camps are set up in the city, and you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.

Without tens of thousands of horses, it is indeed difficult to conquer Beisha City where thousands of troops are stationed.

Back then when Hu'er attacked Beisha City, it was because the main force of the Sui army in Liaodong was restrained. Lai Hu'er was able to lead tens of thousands of horses to attack Beisha. At that time, Beisha City also dispatched many main forces to Liaodong. An opportunity for Hu'er to attack hard.

But even so, the loss was heavy, tens of thousands of horses lost.

Of course, Beisha City does not necessarily have to be stormed.

In history, Li Shimin also conquered Goguryeo later. Zhang Liang led the navy and captured Beisha City by sneak attack. Everyone knows that Zhang Liang is an idiot general who is not good at fighting, but he can still succeed. It can be seen that the guards of Beisha City are not Not invulnerable.

In other words, after Sui conquered Liao, the Goguryeo defenders in Liaodong were actually not as strong as they were back then.

"Uncle Niu, can you lend me three thousand soldiers and horses?"

"Do you really want to fight?"

"Well, I'm sure I can win by surprise!" Qin Lang said, "Although Beisha City is strong, I have a way to break it, and I don't need to attack hard."

Lao Niu was dubious, but after all, Qin Lang was the one who had been a great general of hussars. The emperor once commented on the famous generals in the court, and said that Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Qin Lang, Chai Shao, and others could be called great generals. The famous generals are Li Ji, Li Daozong, Xue Wanche, and Yuchi Gongye.

The emperor made detailed comments on these eight people. For example, Li Daozong could neither win nor lose, while Xue Wanche either won or lost in battle.And Yuchi Gong is unparalleled in bravery, daring to fight and rush first.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been so many fierce generals, and they may have caught the emperor's eyes, but there are only eight generals who can be called great commanders.Even Li Xiaogong, a well-recognized clan king, was not selected, which shows that the emperor's standards are very strict.

Qin Lang was able to be included in the list of the four generals, of course, not because of the emperor's praise, but because he had many real military exploits, and he had the merit of destroying the country.

Li Jing had the merit of destroying the Eastern Turks, Qin Qiong had the merit of destroying the party, Qin Lang had the merit of destroying Tuyuhun, but Chai Shao did not have the merit of destroying the country, which is slightly worse in this respect.

Cheng Yaojin, Liu Hongji, Sun Shunde, Qu Tutong, Yin Kaishan, Zhang Shigui, Duan Zhixuan, Su Dingfang, and so many great generals failed to make it into this list.

Luo Yi and Wang Junkuo Du Fuwei could have been among the famous generals, but it is a pity that the rebellion died early.

Niu Jinda didn't know what kind of clever plan Qin Lang had to defeat Shacheng, but since such a general who has made great achievements in destroying the country, since he can tell it, he can definitely do it.

"I'll transfer 1 people." Niu Jinda gritted his teeth.

As the chief governor of Youzhou Metropolitan Government, it would take a lot of risk to deploy troops without military orders.

"Uncle Xie Niu, 3000 people are enough. Too many people make too much noise, and they won't be able to transport them in a while."

Soldiers are more expensive than elites. Since what is going to be fought is an unconventional battle, then naturally there is no need to use old-fashioned tactics.

·······
On Dahei Mountain, in Beisha City.

The city lord received a letter from Lu Yuangai Shuwen, a man near Jili City. In the letter, Liyuan Gai Suwen told the city lord of Beisha that the Tang people accused Goguryeo of attacking Tang Dynasty merchant ships and prohibited smuggling. .

The Tang people have captured Changdao, and they are dispatching troops from Hebei and Shandong, and they are being transported from the sea to attack. Now Yuangai Suwen is leading the elite dispatched from Anshicheng, Liaodong City, to fight the Tang army in Jili City. The battle is tight. Let Beisha City quickly send five thousand reinforcements.

"The people of Tang started a war against me, Goguryeo?"

The city lord looked serious and sighed.

"So, the Chinese ships that attacked Qingnipu and Duli Harbor did not act alone."

Beisha City is the center of southern Liaoning. The city is ten miles strong and has a population of [-] households. There are many villages around it. With emergency mobilization, [-] people can guard the city.

"If we send [-] troops to reinforce Jili City, what about our Beisha City? The ships of the Tang people are already under the city."

"I told Lu that the Tang boats here are just here to harass and restrain us, so don't worry about it. Transfer 5000 people to Jili City, and there are still [-] people here, and recruit some old people and women. Beisha City is enough. And everyone As far as Lu is concerned, the Tang people only attacked fishing villages along the coast, and never dared to go deep into the interior, let alone invade a fortified city like Beisha."

······
After some discussions, the Lord of Beisha City finally decided to obey the order and dispatched [-] soldiers to Jili City, [-] miles northwest, for reinforcements.

As for Beisha City, 3000 people were temporarily recruited to reinforce the city defenses. In addition, the people in the villages outside Beisha City, especially the villages along the coast, began to withdraw into the city.

In the hundreds of years of expansion, the Goguryeo people have formed a relatively powerful system of all people serving as soldiers. This system is similar to the military system of the Han Dynasty. Every Goguryeo man has to serve in the military. All the people are soldiers.

The number of soldiers on duty in Beisha City is usually around [-], but [-] soldiers can be mobilized at any time, and even the elderly, children and women can be armed at critical times.

The horn sounded.

Beisha City began to mobilize efficiently, mobilizing young and strong, distributing weapons, and pulling out food and grass.

It was cold and cold, but none of these martial Goguryeo people showed any fear. For them, many of them had fought against the Central Plains, and many of their fathers and brothers died at the hands of the Sui people.

After Lai Hu'er broke Beisha City, thousands of people were massacred. Almost every family in Beisha City died at the hands of Central Plains people. This is an old debt.

It's just that it's been released for a long time, so long that everyone has gradually become accustomed to the peace between the two countries, and even got used to those Tang businessmen coming to trade and sell.

But now a horn sounded, and countless people became restless.

"Let's go to war, let's go to war!"

Some Goguryeo slaves even looked enviously at the men shouting and going out. The slaves are not qualified to take up arms and go to the battlefield until the critical time.

The battlefield is for those Goguryeo people. They rode horses and carried swords to fight, made great achievements, awarded officials and landed slaves.

War is an opportunity, slaves are not eligible.

In just one day, Beisha City mobilized 3000 young and strong armed forces, and marched towards Jili City on horseback carrying guns, accompanied by a transport team of [-] people composed of slaves and some old and weak men, pushing carts and driving horses. Carrying a large number of tents, grain, grass, equipment, etc. with the army.

Many defensive soldiers have also been added to the ten-mile gable wall of Beisha City, and the camp in the city has also assembled soldiers on standby.

But they were all convinced that the Tang people attacked Jili City by surprise, and only some Tang boats appeared on the nearby coast to harass them. No one dared to attack such a fortified city.

under night.

Only twelve miles away from Beisha City, there is a seaside in the north of Qingnipu Port in the Yellow Sea. This was originally a small fishing village. Not long ago, it was raided by Niu Jianhu's troops, and all the fishermen in the small fishing village were captured.

In the simple seaweed house, there was a fire, but it was still very cold.

Qin Lang is holding a military meeting.

"Baisha City was transferred 8000 people by a false order from Duke Wei. This move is really amazing."

"This is not a false order from me. Gai Suwen fell into my hands, and I have all his seals and military amulets. If I use Gai Suwen's seal to issue an order, how can Beisha City be suspicious?"

Those seals were all genuine, and the Beisha City Lord never expected that Yuan Gai Su Wen would fall into Qin Lang's hands.

One letter transferred 8000 people, and Beisha City lost half of its defensive troops.

But now there are still thousands of troops in the city.

One trick to tune the tiger away from the mountain was successful, but it only reduced the defenders by half.

Fortunately, Qin Lang still has many backers.

Niu Jinda returned to Youzhou, but his [-] soldiers hadn't arrived yet, and Qin Lang sent Li Zhen to Mizhou to borrow [-] soldiers, but they hadn't arrived either.

But Qin Lang actually didn't need these five thousand soldiers right now, these five thousand soldiers were just prepared for him to prevent the Goguryeo people from counterattacking after he took Beisha City.

Now, having these 2000 people is enough.

The people of Goguryeo did not know that Changxing Island is actually an empty island now, and there are a group of merchants and sailors in it to guard the captives on their behalf. Qingnipu.

"All is ready except for the opportunity!"

"Everything is going according to plan!"

At the end of the meeting, all the generals and academies withdrew.

Qin Lang sat in front of the stove and continued to warm the fire. Although it was late at night, he didn't feel sleepy at all.For this action, he did not ask the court for instructions in advance.

But Qin Lang still cut first and played later.

The things that the Goguryeo people did on Long Island aroused Qin Lang's great dissatisfaction. Originally, he presided over the Tang Goguryeo bilateral trade agreement. Qin Lang thought of taking advantage of the trade opportunity to boil the frogs in warm water to cook Goguryeo little by little. Even fight an economic war on them.

Unexpectedly, the facts are not so satisfactory. The agreement stipulates that Goguryeo will let go of trade in many cities such as Anshi, Beisha, Liaodong, but in fact the Goguryeo people are very strict.

Just like this Beisha City, Datang did not let it go at all, and even deliberately did not develop Duli Port and Qingnipu Port. Instead, on Changxing Island and other coastal islands, a black market for smuggling was started, and even secretly supported A lot of pirates.

If this is the case, it is not enough for Qin Lang to make a move.

The war on the Korean peninsula is in full swing. Goguryeo, Baekje, and Dongying are fighting against Silla. Silla is suffering unspeakably. Even the guys from the Gaya Kingdom that Qin Lang previously supported cannot hold their ground. .Seeing that the peninsula is going to change, Silla may not die but will be disabled, and the supported Gaya will die again, Qin Lang certainly does not want to see such a situation.

If Silla is laid down, it will be inconsistent with history. If Silla is wiped out because he sells weapons to Goguryeo and others, Goguryeo will be out of control. .

Take the shot when it should, and stab Goguryeo directly in the name of pirates and others. I don't plan to start a full-scale war, but it will make Goguryeo uncomfortable.

If the attack goes well this time and Beisha City is won, then a knife will really be stabbed in the back of Goguryeo, and Goguryeo will have to readjust its strategy.

Sitting in front of the fire, thinking a lot.

Wet a piece of paper, wrapped a few seabird eggs and roasted them in the fire.

The eggs are cooked, peeled off, and the aroma is scattered.

Suddenly there was a thunderous sound in the night sky, and a slight smile appeared on Qin Lang's face.

The night raid has begun!

Thunder came one after another, resounding across half of the sky, and in the direction of Beisha City, Dahei Mountain in the north, flames burst out everywhere, burning half of the sky red!
dawn.

The good news comes, Beisha City has fallen, invite Duke Qin to enter the city!
