Chapter 824: Spear and Shield
Jiangjie City.
General of the Han Dynasty, Beppu.
Currently, there are many officials working in the front yard of Beppu, and the guard is also very strict. With a bit of the atmosphere of [Jiang County Supplementary Han General Mansion].
Backyard, in the main hall.
Wu Nian was wearing a black python robe and a lumber scarf on his head. The hair he had just washed was very smooth.
In front of him were seven lieutenants including Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Long Qi, Zhao Yanting, Huang Hu, Tie Niu, Guan Jinhan.
Wu Nian said: "The current situation in Jiangjie Prefecture and Yizhou Prefecture has stabilized. Now the autumn harvest has just passed, both places are in the Great Plains and the grain production areas. The granaries are full, which can support us in combat."
"Now the Mongols and Chu people join forces to attack Liaodong. We must end the Goguryeo war as soon as possible and go back to rescue."
"I plan to let Guan Zhengwei and Huang Zhengwei stay in Yizhou Prefecture, Jiangjie Prefecture, and the other five lieutenants follow me to conquer the capital."
"But Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong stationed heavy troops on the front line of the capital. The capital city is tall and strong, with internal financial resources and strong food. Although General Toyotomi's reinforcements are still unknown, they are definitely indispensable."
"It can be said to be a difficult bone. Maybe we will have to break the teeth. Do you have any suggestions? Talking freely."
After saying that, Wu Young patted his palms lightly.
"Paipa."
The sound fell, Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun walked in and put them down, bent down, then turned around and left after holding their fists.
Wu Nian stood up, surrounded the desk with the lieutenants, and looked down at the map.
How can the capital give up?
Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong must have wanted to defend the capital, but they did not passively retreat to the capital, but set up a defense line centered on the capital.
In the north of the capital, there is a city stronghold called Jingge City. There are 10,000 soldiers.
A stronghold in the West, called Luntai Camp, has 7,000 soldiers.
There is a stronghold in the east, in the same city. There are 3,000 soldiers.
In the capital, there were at least 50,000 soldiers guarding the capital. Among them were Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng trained and restored the organization of 50,000 soldiers.
There are also the Beijing City Defense Forces, the imperial guards, and the troops temporarily allocated from the south.
The defensive line of the capital formed by all this seems to be solid and firmly guarding the northern part of Goguryeo.
The purpose of Goguryeo is very clear.
Keep it.
Waiting for reinforcements from Fuso.
I fantasized about the Chu State and the Mongols' victory in Liaodong, which reversed the situation.
After looking at the map for a while, Huang Hu pinched his chin and said, "It is difficult for us to break through this arrangement of Goguryeo. Otherwise, we will continue to eat the land in the northern part of Goguryeo. Jiashan Mansion and Jingcheng Mansion. We can also use Goguryeo water.
The army drove out of the Yalu River, we took it alone."
Before Wu Nian could answer, Guan Jinhan shook his head and said, "This is what Goguryeo said."
"We have to quickly break through the capital of Goguryeo, and it is worth the price we pay."
"Jiashan Mansion, Jingcheng Mansion, is located in the mountainous area in the eastern part of Goguryeo. It took a lot of time and energy to attack them. The general relied on the mountainous areas to withstand the attack of the Mongols."
Zhao Yanting nodded and agreed: "Person Guan is right. Although we entered Goguryeo, the spy is not that useful. Jiashan Mansion and Jingcheng Mansion are also in the mountainous area, and the message transmission is difficult. But the spy still got some
information."
"The prefects and county magistrates of these two prefectures have begun to form an army."
"It's not only the city defense force, but also the field army. It's clear that I want to fight guerrilla warfare with us."
"When we enter the second palace, we will be consumed by them. Now our Liaodong base camp is being attacked by the Mongolian Yuan and Chu states. It is already difficult for Liu Changshi to maintain it, and there is no force to replenish us."
"And Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong's layout is very interesting. They stationed 10,000 troops in Jingge City, the northern stronghold of Beijing, which is very reasonable. After all, we are attacking from north to south, and Jingge City is the front battlefield."
"There are 7,000 soldiers in Luntai Camp, so there is no problem."
"But the eastern strongholds are in the same city, but there are only three thousand soldiers. The same city is connected to the mountains."
"Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong did this because he wanted to use the same city as bait to lead us to detour to Jiashan Mansion and attack the same city. That is to trick us into the mountainous area."
Wu Nian and the others nodded, agreeing with Zhao Yanting's analysis.
Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong are all bad.
But they may not underestimate us too much. The war has expired unexpectedly because of this.
Both sides put everything on the surface, and they knew exactly how much strength they had and what intentions they were.
What's the point of setting up a trap in the same city?
If you want to attack the capital, you must first solve one of the three strongholds outside the city and leverage Goguryeo's defense network.
Since the same city is a trap.
Then there is only the front of the Beijing Pavilion, and the Western Luntai Camp is available for selection.
Jingcheng Pavilion is strong, and a frontal attack may cause great losses.
The Luntai Camp in the west is even more irrelevant. You have to cross the Beijing Pavilion to attack the Luntai Camp.
"From the defense alone, this layout is impeccable. It is worthy of being Li Yunchong and Xue Qilin. In the battle of Guangyang, we did not leave them behind. We really let the tiger return to the mountain." Tie Niu looked regretful and stretched out his hand to touch his neck.
He said in his heart:
"But I have tried my best, chasing Zhao Mancheng, and I was almost killed."
The other captains nodded in agreement. It is unlikely that they would break through this formation in a short period of time.
But they didn't have much time.
The so-called military conference must speak freely. Wu Nian never blames anyone for someone who has any bad ideas or says something wrong.
The atmosphere here is very good.
Long Qi looked up at everyone and said, "It seems that we have a unified opinion."
"Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong are worthy of being a famous Goguryeo player, and they are beautiful in defense. In addition to defending, they also set up a city as bait."
"Our troops have a total of seven thousand households, all of which are warriors who have experienced many battles. However, without follow-up support, one is less than one. One cannot be attacked with force."
"So isn't the answer coming out?"
Wu Nian, who had been watching from beginning to end, turned around and went straight to the main seat to sit down, put his hands on the armrest of the Taishi chair, and said lightly: "Teat them out."
"Yes. Military tactics. Siege is the best, and field battles are the best. What's more, we are elite soldiers in a hundred battles. Only the Mongols can kill us equally."
Long Qi nodded, but soon sighed again, shook his head and returned to his seat and sat down. He said, "But because of this."
"How could they give up the city and come out to fight with us?"
Tieniu also sighed and said depressedly: "The Liaodong army is strong, brave and good at fighting. It is famous all over the world. Who would like to fight with us?"
