Chapter 220 Robbery of the City Gate(1/2)

Soldiers need to be quick, but late will lead to change!

After some thought, Qin Huaidao decided to change his plan and try to see if he could capture Liaodong. If he succeeded, the benefits would be too many and it was worth the risk. After a search, he found a map of Liaodong City, grain depots, and military camps in the city lord's palace.

The government offices, etc. are all clearly understood.

With this map, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

Qin Huaidao studied carefully. Once he entered the city, how many troops needed to be deployed? How to march as fast as possible? What possible responses could the enemy have? etc. He was constantly deducing in his mind to find the optimal plan.

Unconsciously, an hour passed, and the soldiers came in one after another, chatting and laughing. Seeing Qin Huaidao staring at the map and studying it, they all stopped talking and waited patiently.

After a while, Qin Huaidao raised his head, with a certain determination in his eyes. He glanced at everyone, and finally fell on Zhi Huan Si Li, and said in a deep voice: "Dong An, I intend to attack Liaodong, but one person needs to stay behind in Huaiyuan."

Zhi lost his mind and understood the idea. Although he did not want to miss the opportunity to continue to perform meritorious service, the military general's orders were overwhelming and he could not refute. He clasped his fists and said: "I am willing to stay!"

"Then thank you Duke An Guo. I will leave you a thousand men. You must guard Huaiyuan and wait for the logistics and reinforcements to arrive. In addition, prepare the dried meat that the army will need for five days overnight. This matter is important. Duke An Guo is calm and cautious.

, with rich experience, he is the most suitable person. If this is done, I will give you a great credit." Qin Huaidao promised.

"Thank you, General." Zhi lost his thoughts and breathed a sigh of relief. Just keep a thousand people.

"Three brothers of the Cheng family!"

The three Cheng Chumo brothers stepped forward and bowed their hands.

"After dawn, open the city gate and drive the people away. A large number of people will go to Liaodong. At that time, the three of you will remove 200 people from the Anguo Office and pretend to be people among them. Once you enter the city, take advantage of the chaos and seize the city gate. Is it possible?"

Qin Huaidao said solemnly.

When the three of them heard that they had sneaked into the city, their eyes lit up. It was a big battle and they would definitely kill everyone. They excitedly clasped their fists and shouted: "I promise to complete the mission."

As soon as Zhi lost his mind, he obeyed and dispatched 200 people from his own army. Once he succeeded, it would be a great achievement. He immediately smiled, and the little grudge in his heart about being left in Huaiyuan disappeared.

Qin Huaidao looked at Yuchi Baolin, waited for the other party to come out in tacit agreement, and said: "Baolin, once the city gate is opened, the imperial army will rush in and seize the grain depot. Food is vital to the future of our army and must not be lost."

"Follow the order!" Yuchi Baolin solemnly promised.

"Luo Zhang!"

When Luo Zhang heard that he had his own business, he quickly stepped forward.

Qin Huaidao continued: "After the Forbidden Army rushes into the city, the mercenaries will follow. Once they enter the city, they will be divided into four, take down the four gates respectively, and eliminate every enemy in sight. You must divide the work well in advance and tell them

Once the Forbidden Army attacks the grain depot, they will attract a large number of enemy troops to support them and must be stopped. Once everyone runs away, they will have no leader to claim the reward. Is it possible to do this?"

"Back to the general, the silver reward has been distributed. After receiving the money, everyone believed in the general's words. Now they will not frown if they enter the Kingdom of Goguryeo. The enemy troops defending the city are consistent with the mercenaries.

Silver and gold are precious, so I will definitely try my best to stop him." Luo Zhang said seriously.

"That's good." Seeing that Luo Zhang saw the beauty of mercenaries, Qin Huaidao smiled with satisfaction.

The others looked over with envy. Cutting off a head was always money, and it was easy money. However, they were regular soldiers and were too embarrassed to speak.

Qin Huaidao saw everyone's thoughts and thought that there must be money in Liaodong City, so he said: "This battle is important, and the other ministries are the same. A head is always worth money. Of course, the head is not really exchanged, and the head cannot be snatched during the battle.

We will calculate later, whoever dares to mess around before the war will be killed without mercy!"

"Thank you, General!" When everyone heard that there was also a silver reward, their eyes suddenly lit up.

This was against the rules of the court, but Qin Huaidao didn't care. He was worried that he could not taint himself, so he looked at An Guogong and continued: "An Guogong, the remaining two thousand of your army will enter the city with my general. After entering the city, they will capture the government office. After that, Yu Yu

Lin Wei took over the government office, and your troops patrolled the whole city, killed the remaining ones, and restricted the people not to go out."

"Follow the order, I will tell everyone that anyone who dares to mess around and disobey the general will be beheaded." Zhi lost his mind and understood the situation, and solemnly stated his position.

Qin Huaidao nodded with satisfaction. The grain depot and the government office were both very important. He really didn't dare to hand it over to the Turkic army, but he couldn't chill the Turkic army's heart. It would be most appropriate to send them out to continue killing the remnants. The Turkic army would not be merciless in killing people.

With the stimulation of silver reward, the morale of the soldiers will not be disturbed.

Zhi loses thoughts and understands the truth, and has long been used to it. At least he can get a reward this time, which is pretty good.

"Okay, everyone, go down and get ready. After dinner tomorrow morning, drive the people out of the city. No killing indiscriminately, let alone robbing the people's finances. Just drive them out of the city. After the people leave, the army will set off. Follow them from a distance to avoid being exposed.

Brothers of the Cheng family, it's up to you whether you can win Liaodong." Qin Huaidao looked at the three brothers of the Cheng family.

The three brothers of the Cheng family also knew that Qin Huaidao was giving them a great opportunity to perform meritorious deeds. They were grateful and solemnly promised: "General, please rest assured and swear to the death to complete the mission."

"Yu Chi Baoqi." Qin Huaidao looked at Yu Chi Baoqi: "The Yulin Army has returned. You don't have to worry about safety issues. You can go back to the army and train people to climb overnight to raise five hundred. If the Cheng family brothers can't

Infiltrate into the city, press the army, press the enemy with crossbows at the top of the city, cover you to climb up, and force open the city gate. It is extremely dangerous to get to this point. If you succeed, I will give you the first credit, and each of you will be rewarded.

One hundred silver coins."

"Follow the order!" Yuchi Baoqi was overjoyed and looked at Cheng Chumo provocatively.

Cheng Chumo said unhappily: "You have no chance."

"That's not necessarily true!" Yuchi Baoqi retorted.

Qin Huaidao didn't mind everyone's competition and didn't stop him. He smiled and said: "Okay, let's go down and prepare ourselves. If we can conquer Liaodong in one fell swoop, we will all be famous all over the world."

"Thank you, General!" Everyone said sincerely.

Soon, everyone left. Qin Huaidao continued to study the map, drew some offensive lines on it, copied two copies, called a Yulin guard and told them: "Give these two copies to Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin respectively, and tell them to be sure to

March according to the route above."

"Follow the order!" The other party took the map and hurried away.

After the battle plan was finalized, Qin Huaidao was particularly worried and continued to deduce it before finding a place to sleep.

Early the next morning, the army had enough to eat and drink, and drove away the people as planned.

The people were in panic all night, worried about being killed, and had long wanted to leave the city. They were overjoyed when they received the order, and left with the supplies they had prepared. When they saw that the army did not take the opportunity to rob or kill indiscriminately, they were still worried.

Rush out of the city quickly.

The closest city to Huaiyuan is Liaodong City in the southeast. In the snowy season, if you go further, you may freeze to death before you get there, so they are heading towards Liaodong City. The three brothers of the Cheng family mixed in the team with selected people.

All of them were wearing tattered clothes, with black faces, and carrying short swords. At first glance, they looked just like ordinary people.

In order to succeed, the three brothers of the Cheng family made careful preparations. The appearance of the selected people was close to that of Goguryeo. It was difficult to see through it without looking carefully. The only flaw was the language. They were specially warned not to speak or pretend to be mute. Once they entered the city, they would not be able to divide the labor.

A detailed explanation was given.

Having been here once, the three brothers of the Cheng family knew the situation behind the Liaodong city gate, and their deployment was very targeted.

Along the way, everyone walked in silence, keeping a certain distance from each other so as not to arouse suspicion.

It was cold and freezing, and I was worried about freezing to death, and even more worried about the army catching up. The people walked very fast, and a sense of sadness permeated the team. Without their home, the future was confused and even despairing.

Suddenly, a person in the team screamed and fell down. He had a short knife on his body and his package was snatched away. Cheng Chumo thought it was one of his own, and his heart tightened. He quickly turned around and saw that it was a strong man he didn't recognize.

, took the snatched package and opened it, revealing a greedy look.

The fallen man was a middle-aged man, dressed like a wealthy businessman. He grabbed the strong man's legs and said something. The strong man impatiently kicked him over, kicked him away, and turned around to leave.

Don't care about the other party.

Once people are driven into despair, the ugliness of human nature will explode.

Many people around glared at this scene, but no one dared to say anything when they saw the strong man's physique. Cheng Chubi's face turned cold and he was about to step forward. Cheng Chumo grabbed him and shook his head. It's easy to fight an injustice, but it will also attract attention.

What should I do when someone comes to talk, make friends, or seek asylum? The secret will be revealed as soon as I open my mouth.

In front of the task, nothing matters!

Cheng Chubi quickly calmed down, sighed when he thought about the consequences, gave up the idea of ​​fighting the injustice, glanced sympathetically at the middle-aged man who was stabbed, and left in a hurry.

Along the way, there are constant snatchings of property and food. Without restraint, there is no future. After people lose their sense of security, they will frantically grab survival supplies to ensure that they can survive.

Looting makes the team go faster!

At dusk, the team arrived at Liaodong City, and everyone rushed forward desperately. Once they were locked up outside the city, life or death was uncertain. After finally reaching Liaodong City, no one wanted to die when they saw the hope of survival.

Liaodong City was about to close the city gates. When they saw thousands of people swarming in, they were startled. The soldiers guarding the city quickly intercepted them.

Everyone, please stop and don’t go any further, otherwise you will be killed without mercy.”

Faced with the threat of countless archers, the people regained some sense and stopped one after another.

An old man stepped forward tremblingly and shouted: "General, we are the common people of Huaiyuan Town. Huaiyuan was captured and we were driven out of the city. We have no way to survive. We can only come here and pay tribute to the general. I will give you a chance."

Find a way out."

"What, Huaiyuan Town was captured? What?" The general was shocked.

The old man quickly said: "The common people don't know much. They only know that they are very powerful. They suddenly entered the city at night. There are many people and strict discipline. They don't look like Khitan people, but they are probably Tang troops."

"Tang Jun, are you sure?" The defender's pupils suddenly shrank.

"The common people are not sure, they are just guessing, but besides the Tang army, who else dares to attack Huaiyuan?" the old man asked rhetorically.

The general guarding the city carefully looked at the old man. He was dressed well, spoke and behaved well, and did not look like an ordinary person. He asked: "Who are you?"

"Back to the general, Cao Min was a steward of the Lord Registrar of the Huaiyuan City Lord's Mansion. The Lord Registrar was killed. They are all his family members." The old man pointed to a dozen people around him.

More than a dozen people testified that the old man's identity was trustworthy. The general who defended the city was no longer suspicious and immediately asked an officer to go back and report. When he looked at everyone, thousands of people all looked frightened and uneasy, including men, women, old and young. This uneasiness

If you can't disguise it, Huaiyuan may really be lost.

Without Huaiyuan in front, Liaodong City would be in danger.

Seeing that the general guarding the city was not making a decision, the old man became a little anxious and shouted: "General, please let me wait until we enter the city. It's freezing cold and the common people will die as soon as they get old, but they still have children.
To be continued...
