Chapter 1141 The moon is black and the wind is high
Currently in Goguryeo, the most famous general of the Tang Army...
First of all, it must be the one who destroyed the Turks. However, there are too many legends about this person, and no one knows the specific situation. Many stories from hearsay are often distorted, and when the distortion of the story is passed on to some experienced generals, it becomes even more confusing.
.
In the key legend, the general who destroyed the Turks was still very young.
How young is this man? According to legend, he was only a teenager when he destroyed the Turks!
If destroying the Turks isn't so scary, after all-
Since ancient times, no matter which country or tribe there is, there have always been changes in prosperity and decline, but when considering the Turks at that time, that was not the case. The Turks at that time were almost the suzerains of the entire world, and they were extremely powerful.
All the countries on the grassland have to obey their orders, even Goguryeo has to temper its edge, not to mention the former Sui regime, who have been married countless times.
But even such a powerful country was destroyed overnight. The key is that this young general is still only a teenager.
Calculating the time, I am probably in my early twenties now. Having such achievements at such a young age seems very impressive.
However, because there are so many strange rumors, no one can be sure of the specific image of this young general. They only know that he is very young, currently in his early twenties.
According to the current understanding of Goguryeo, what the spies saw was that the soldier was led by a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old - which was somewhat different from the young man in his early twenties in Li Sheng's information. This boy even looked similar to his face.
A bit younger, maybe around fourteen.
This was probably not Li Sheng, and after hearing the intelligence that he was some kind of Beishan County Prince, Goguryeo felt a little relieved.
But now this situation...
The Tang army destroyed Xuantu City in the blink of an eye. This makes it difficult to think that the opponent's military strength is too strong. The normal reaction would be "Huh? This city was destroyed?"
Takano at this moment...
Of course, he was no different from the general generals under his command. He was also nervous, but when he thought about it more carefully, he found it very ridiculous. How could this ruined city be destroyed so quickly?
Damn it, isn’t this just looking for trouble? This isn’t it!
Thinking for a while...
Gao Ye was still silent and thinking hard, but at this time, the captain beside him could no longer hold his nerve any longer. One of them said, "General, I don't think I can hold on until I wait. Anyway, there is a year's worth of food in the city, and Tang Jun is not an immortal. We
…”
Just as the captain was about to continue speaking, Takano shouted impatiently, "Shut up!"
"Hmph. I know what you want to say. Tang Jun's tricks can work in Xuantu City. As long as we are prepared, we will not be taken advantage of, right?"
"You are... confused. Tang Jun has so many tricks. Today he can dig tunnels to break the city, but who knows if he will fly directly into the city tomorrow? Just defend..."
Saying this, Takano couldn't help but look dejected.
Why don't I want to guard the door once it is closed and not get out, but the problem is that things are not that simple.
Tang Jun is too evil.
Shaking his head, Takano's eyes suddenly turned sharp, "It's impossible to defend the guards. We can only try to attack them at night to catch them off guard!"
"If we can burn down the Tang army's food, grass and grenades, we might be able to get some breathing space."
Burn the food and grenades...
When the lieutenants thought of these two things, they couldn't help but nodded. They may not know much about other things, but they knew that the Tang army had a characteristic. Everyone's ancestors knew about it before the Sui Dynasty. It was these people who came out to fight and needed
Although everyone needs a lot of food, the Tang army always seems to need more.
In short, as long as Takano said, once everyone really burns their food and grass, then...
This city can really be defended.
All the captains felt greatly comforted for a moment, and they all said yes.
Takano pondered with a serious look on his face, thinking about this idea in his mind.
I said this... Actually, it was just because I felt that if I defended for a long time, I would lose, and since I would lose if I defended for a long time, I would have to take the initiative after ruling out this option. But... In fact, Takano didn't want to take the initiative. If he had a choice, he would
I feel like I should run away and go somewhere else, like Rome or something... But the problem is that I don't have to run, so I can only take the initiative.
But after saying the deceitful words, Takano suddenly felt...
These nonsense seem to be quite reasonable, because the Tang army really valued food and grass. If they could go out in the dark and burn their food and grass, or even grenades and so on, not only Goguryeo, but also the Liaoyuan City at their feet would be able to sit back and relax from now on.
, but at least... it can be delayed for a while, and delaying for such a period of time is enough for me to argue with the king and call for reinforcements to withstand the pressure.
You might even be able to get promoted in the end and become the Southern Grand Duel or something like that...
Thinking this way, Takano felt a lot better.
"Okay, let's all go have a rest and refresh ourselves. I'll meet with Tang Jun tonight!"
…
This day and night.
The moon is dark and the wind is high.
It was early winter, and there was heavy snow all over the sky... And heavy snow is the same as heavy rain. In this kind of weather, the sky is mostly cloudy and hazy.
The moonlight only has a faint color, and the starlight is not visible at all. This is still on weekdays.
Tonight, for some unknown reason, everything was pitch black, and even the basic moonlight was gone.
This situation is obvious, indicating that the weather is gloomy and heavier snow will fall on the ground soon.
The cold wind is howling, and the climate seems to have become colder by several degrees... Maybe it's not "as if", but really getting colder.
After all, this is the North Country.
However, in such a desolate atmosphere, Takano did not show much nervousness or worry.
Especially Takano, who looked at the sky with a look of surprise on his face.
"There is no light in this day, so God is helping me!"
After Takano said this, all his generals subconsciously looked up and saw that there were no stars in the sky, and the moonlight became extremely obscure.
So at this moment, all the lieutenants also showed excitement, "General, this is a good opportunity to make meritorious service, let's hurry up!"
Takano laughed excitedly and waved his hand quickly.
"Come with me!"
"People are masked, horses are wearing masks, do you understand?"
And at the same time...
At the other end of the wilderness, near Xuantu City, thirty miles away.
Because the size of the 300,000-strong army was too large, the imperial army of the Tang Dynasty was stationed. Of course, only some of them entered Xuantu City, but there were still many troops stationed outside the city.
At this moment, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Zhang Liang, Zhang Shigui, Li Sheng, Chang Sun Wuji, Chang Le and others were discussing matters.
