Chapter eight hundred and sixty-four the cooperation of the scouts
After confirming the need to borrow troops, Di Xin immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the neighboring eastern border of Dali.
The next step is how to deal with this newly conquered city. Although most of the people were moved out before the war started, some people were still abandoned and stayed. Therefore, an effective policy is still needed.
to temporarily manage these people.
Fortunately, the people left behind are not good either, and most of them are poor people. They have the food and supplies left by the Koguryeo army that was wiped out before, so the current situation is not difficult to deal with.
Di Xin did not participate in the subsequent discussion, but he did not leave either, because the policies discussed still required his nod and approval before they could be implemented.
Although the population in the city after the war was not large, it was a complete city after all, because there were many details to discuss in all aspects.
It wasn't until after the sun set that Di Xin dismissed today's meeting.
In one day, the general policy framework has been discussed, and the remaining details need to be adjusted according to the specific situation in the future.
And the most important point is.
In order to prevent the people in the city from having unnecessary thoughts because they have nothing to do, people who meet the conditions must participate in rebuilding the buildings in the city that were destroyed by the war in order to exchange for subsequent food.
Of course, there will also be some reward.
For those who cannot meet the conditions, the situation will be summarized to find easy things for them to do. They also have to complete their own work in exchange for food and rewards.
The conditions will not be too harsh, but they will not be too loose either. In short, the purpose is to allow all people to have something to do.
When the city is repaired, new policies will naturally emerge based on the situation, but that will happen later. Just have a general idea, and we will discuss the specifics at that time.
…
While Emperor Xin's army was resting and reorganizing, and the letter of borrowing troops was heading towards the eastern border, the hundreds of Goguryeo soldiers who broke out from the city that day were just as Emperor Xin expected, and not many of them returned to the capital safely.
Time goes back to the beginning of their breakout.
In the street fighting after the city was broken, thousands of Goguryeo soldiers were used as abandoned troops the next day to block the Dali soldiers and cover up the transfer of the army.
After a fight and half of the men were lost, hundreds of soldiers managed to escape the pursuit of Dali soldiers after completing their mission.
But he was forced to separate from the army and became a stray soldier.
Knowing that the situation was over, they did not want to die in vain in the city, so they began to consider a breakout.
As luck would have it, when they were fleeing for their lives, they were in a panic and returned to the vicinity of the city gate that was breached that day.
After some secret observation, they were surprised to find that most of the attention of the Dali army was on the street fighting in the city, but they did not pay that much attention to the city gate that they initially attacked.
With their strength of hundreds of people, if they could catch the Dali soldiers at the gate of the city by surprise, they might be able to break out.
There was no time to think about whether this was a trap, and after knowing that they would definitely die if they stayed in the city, hundreds of Goguryeo soldiers quickly made a decision.
Breakout.
And perhaps God saw how miserable they were and stood on their side this time.
After leaving behind a dozen corpses in a hurry, they successfully broke out.
After leaving the city, everyone did not care about celebrating, but ran as hard as they could into the distance. They breathed a sigh of relief until they ran a sufficient distance and confirmed that there were no pursuers behind them.
No one can watch his country being annihilated.
After resting for a night, hundreds of soldiers decided to go around the city in another direction and return to the capital to report the intelligence of the Dali army so that they could respond accordingly.
But what they didn't know was that before the arrival of Dali's army, the city they were guarding had already fallen under the observation of many forces, and there were countless scouts scattered around the city.
Therefore, after the city was broken, this group of soldiers broke out of the city and could not get close to the city to observe the scouts of the battle carefully, so they invariably separated some people to follow them.
Then, when they were about to return, they were watched by scouts from many forces with a tacit understanding.
Anyone who can become a scout for a force must be one of the best in strength. Otherwise, if there is an accident, how can one or a few people successfully break through and bring back the intelligence?
So, facing this group of excellent scouts, hundreds of Goguryeo soldiers finally broke out. Except for a few who escaped by luck, most of the remaining people were slaughtered first, and then the survivors were distributed among themselves by the scouts.
take away.
These scouts were barbarians from various places, and some came from the border areas of Dali, but they did not take action. After the battle, they looked at each other in a tacit understanding, and then left with their selected prisoners.
Or torture, or inducement, or sexual assault... After using various methods, the captured soldiers, almost without exception, revealed everything they had seen before breaking out of the encirclement.
Before this, due to the leakage of information from the Northern Xinjiang Army, everyone only knew that there was such a formation in the Northern Xinjiang Army that could temporarily enhance a person's strength, but they did not know the specific situation.
In the last battle when the Turks were destroyed, several different cavalry groups surrounded and charged from various places. Although An Junshan and others mixed in among them used the power of divine generals, they did not attract much attention because of the large number of people.
In other words, few of the Turkic soldiers who were lucky enough to survive at that time noticed these great generals who were like gods.
The Turks are famous for their cavalry, and they have always believed that their cavalry is the best in the world. Therefore, after the war, the few people who escaped by chance were even more impressed by Dali's cavalry who suddenly became stronger than them.
This also led to the fact that although An Junshan and others, who used the power of divine generals, shined during the annihilation of the Turks, no specific information was reported.
The occasional few words cannot make people outline the strangeness of the great general Dali.
Similarly, this is also the biggest reason why Emperor Xin was able to catch the Goguryeo side by surprise this time. If the general who did not die in the battle knew about this situation, he would definitely treat Emperor Xin's 30,000 troops with the utmost caution from the beginning.
But this time, in order to capture the city as quickly as possible and start the first battle after the expedition, Di Xin made all his tactics around God.
Therefore, all the Goguryeo soldiers in the city felt the uniqueness of General Dali and the soldiers after using the formation.
Naturally, these included hundreds of Goguryeo soldiers who broke out this time.
Thus, the reputation of General Dali shocked all the forces for the first time.
