Li Xiuning and Luo Yu were very satisfied with the improved army formation. It reduced the number of people from 800 to 240, forming a zigzag shape. It can also change into various forms according to the actual situation and terrain. The fewer people, but the power is not much smaller.
.
There are three floors in the outer circle. When facing the enemy, the sergeant on the first floor will draw the spear first. When it is withdrawn, the sergeant on the second floor will take over from the sergeant on the first floor to draw the spear. In this way, the sergeant on the first floor will be alternately connected, and the third floor and the inside will be in the same shape.
The sergeant is a substitute, prepared in case someone in the outer circle is injured and there is a gap.
Today is the third day of May. Luo Yu has been in Linfen for more than two months. In addition to training this special team, Luo Yu has room and board with them. Li Xiuning doesn't blame him and will come to see him whenever he has time.
.
The weather is getting hotter. Today, Li Xiuning is wearing a lake green girl's dress, with silk edges and fine cloth as a placket. Her hair is rolled up casually. Her curvy figure makes people want to have nosebleeds when they see her. But the first thing she saw when she saw Luo Yu was
The sentence was actually "What are you going to eat today?" It was as if she had traveled ten miles round trip on horseback to come here to eat despite her busy schedule.
Luo Yu looked at her and tried hard to control the impulse in his heart. He didn't say anything. During the bathing break, he asked the team members to go hunting in the mountains to enrich the food table. Every time Li Xiuning came over, he would try his best to cook a few good dishes for her.
As a result, Li Xiuning didn't really want to eat in the army anymore, so after eating a large bowl of sauce-flavored loach, she said to Luo Yu: "I'll move here..."
Luo Yu thought he heard wrongly, and was stunned for a long time before saying: "You move here? Isn't it inconvenient? There are all rough men here. It's inappropriate for a girl like you to live here! No!"
Seeing Luo Yu's anxious look, Li Xiuning said with a smile: "Don't forget, I am the general. Even if I am in Linfen City, am I still living among a bunch of rough old men? Why don't you say it's inconvenient?"
Luo Yu said: "That's different. At least there are maids there to take care of your daily life, not here. Besides, You Wujun has so many things to do, can you stay away from them?"
Li Xiuning narrowed his eyes and said: "Uncle Niu and the others can help with it. I don't have much to do here. If you really need me to deal with things, just ask them to send them over!"
When Luo Yu saw Li Xiuning narrowing her eyes, he knew that she was looking for a topic, so he said: "Do you want me to move here to cook for you? Whatever, the training here is almost done, I can move back."
"
Li Xiuning smiled and said: "I didn't say that. You said you wanted to move back and cook for me..."
Luo Yu smiled and said, "I don't understand. Could it be that the cook in the General's Mansion couldn't learn it or that I didn't teach him well? He can't even cook such a simple dish."
Li Xiuning said: "You have wronged me. It's not that I can't do it well, it's that I haven't eaten at home at all. I always eat in the military camp..."
Luo Yu had nothing to say. He packed up his things and called several captains over. He told them to practice hard and try to find some complex terrain for field exercises. Don't be fooled by others using the terrain on the battlefield. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Write down everything you need and solve it together when the time comes.
The captain took the order and dispersed.
Looking at the carriage brought by Li Xiuning, Luo Yu said: "You know that I will go back to the city with you today, right? Don't I usually come here on horseback?"
Li Xiuning said: "Actually, I bring a carriage every time I come here, but I just don't want to affect you..."
Luo Yu was speechless. This little girl was really too affectionate. If he failed her sincerity, he would really deserve death.
After getting on the carriage, Li Xiuning ordered the coachman to drive slower and not to be too bumpy. The coachman followed the order and walked forward slowly, turning the carriage into an ox cart.
Luo Yu pulled Li Xiuning into his arms, put her head close to his chest, and said guiltily: "Xiuning, I'm sorry, I have ignored your feelings during this time. I will forgive you. The day after tomorrow is Dragon Boat Festival, let's put everything down."
, let’s go play outside together.”
Li Xiuning listened to the powerful "dong dong dong" beating sound of her heart in Luo Yu's chest, and felt that her own heart was beating at the same frequency. She raised her head, looked at Luo Yu, and put on her red lips.
This kiss came too late, but it seemed so precious. It spanned more than 1,600 years, and even spanned two spaces. Luo Yu's heart was filled to the brim by Li Xiuning, and there was no space left.
.
Yang Guang led his troops to Xiangcheng. According to the spies, there were 50,000 defenders here. The defender, Jin Chengfei, was a Huhua Han and grew up in Goguryeo. He was the son-in-law of Gao Yangcheng, the Prince Consort, and was awarded the title of Jiangcheng.
Hou. This city is a newly built city. It is backed by the Morita Plateau and is about 150 miles away from Yingkou. In between the two places are endless mountains and old forests. There are rugged rocks and winding roads. No, there is no road at all. If you want to get through,
, unless it grows wings or moves the mountain away.
There is an official road three miles from Xiangcheng to Liaoyang that took several generations to build in Goguryeo. Originally, the only way to leave Goguryeo was to go north through Silla, Baekje and then south, which required a detour of five to six hundred miles, or
He took a boat out to sea and wandered in the sea for several days before he could reach the country in the Central Plains to pay tribute or study.
In the third year of Gao Yangcheng's reign, that is, in the summer of the fifth year of Emperor Wen's reign, he finally opened this external channel. However, after opening it, he found that the opposite side was rich in products and sparsely populated, so he became disloyal and sent troops to attack Liaoyang and Yingkou.
And quickly captured it, so they felt that the Sui Empire was not a match for the war. While preparing for war, they accelerated the construction of new cities, dug tunnels between the three cities, and filled the excavated earth back into the official roads that had been opened with great difficulty. Although
It only fills fifteen miles, but it is undoubtedly a big project.
This was Yeon Gae So-moon's idea. If the 300,000 soldiers on the front line could not stop the Sui army's attack and the city was captured, the Sui army would march straight in according to the official line. There would be no danger to defend Pyongyang, and the 300,000 soldiers and horses would not be able to defend it.
It is necessary to go back and fill up the official channels, just to tell the soldiers that they can only win, not lose.
At this time, Yuan Gaisuwen was discussing how to defeat the enemy at Jin Chengfei's house in Xiangcheng. Suddenly he heard that the Sui army was coming, so he and Jin Chengfei went to the Xiangcheng city wall to check.
Because Xiangcheng was a newly built city, the city wall was only three feet high and was not designed like Liaoyang. It was built with the back of a mountain, leaving only three city gates. A moat was originally dug, but once the tunnel was dug, the water destroyed the ground structure.
, causing all the water veins to sink, the water in the moat dried up, leaving only the suspension bridge hanging alone at the city gate, and the two-foot-wide moat was disguised as real and used as a trap.
There are no archery holes on the city wall, and there are only a few small military towers built on the top. It looks like a lamb being slaughtered. I want to shout to the Sui army: "Come and beat me!"
The patron king Yang Lin was the uncle of Yang Guang and the cousin of Emperor Wen Yang Jian. He made great military exploits for the establishment and unification of the Sui Dynasty. After unifying the country, he retired bravely and became an idle prince, staying in his fiefdom to travel around the mountains and rivers, not hearing about the world.
Otherwise, he would not have been retained to hinder Yang Guang's accession to the throne.
It was not until the third year of Daye that he was reactivated and served as the governor of Xiangzhou. In the fourth year, he entered the cabinet and was awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of Rites. In January of the fifth year, Yang Guang worshiped him as his commander because he wanted to march eastward.
Wang Bo, and then to Liaodong.
He is nineteen years older than Yang Guang and is already in his sixtieth year. However, he has practiced martial arts all year round and has a strong body. He can now kill wolves with one hand and fight tigers with both hands. In addition, he is accustomed to fighting and is an emperor's uncle. He is indeed the best choice for the generalissimo.
Good candidate.
When Yang Lin went to the front line and took a look, he knew it was a trap, but he had to step on it even though he knew it was a trap. The same situation happened in Liaoyang over there in Yingkou. He didn't hit anyone in front of him. Five miles into Yingkou, he suddenly heard the sound of a trap.
There was a strange smell, like oil and paint, which was very unpleasant, and then smoke began to rise from the ground, and the fire got out of control.
The front team was surrounded by a sea of fire, screaming loudly, and fell quickly in the black smoke. They were burned alive until no bones were left. The fire was still burning, and the black smoke was billowing. It was disgusting to hear it.
When Wu Tianxi stepped forward to check, he was attacked by an archer and injured his left arm. If he had been a little higher, how could he still be alive? After counting, the front team had lost a thousand people. As a result, the entire army had to retreat thirty years.
Camp here.
The two hard bones can't be chewed for the time being. If I don't find a way to deal with the black water, I won't chew it. But the openness in front of the city gate can make the black water of the Goguryeo army lose part of its effect. People have to doubt that this is the Goguryeo army.
The loopholes left intentionally by the military.
If the imperial commander personally marches and millions of troops are blocked at this first line of defense, will he be laughed to death if word spreads out? Therefore, even if this city is a trap, it has to be stepped on and let the enemy move to find the flaw.
When Luo Yu returned to the General's Mansion, it was already the end of the Shen Dynasty. The five-mile journey had to be driven by a horseman for an hour. It was a talent. After the kiss between the two ended, Luo Yu wanted to go further, but Li Xiuning stopped him and said with a smile: "
I will eventually be your wife, but I can’t lose my rules before we get married.”
Luo Yu smiled and said: "Madam, are you thinking wrong? I just saw that your breast buttons were loose and I just wanted to help you tie them up..."
Li Xiuning hurriedly lowered her head and saw that one of the buttons above her bust was indeed loose, and the red bellyband underneath was faintly exposed. She immediately understood that this was Luo Yu's prank, and he had just untied it accidentally while she was not angry. She was not angry, but very happy.
This is called fun.
Since you want to play, then I will play with you. After stopping at the door of the General's Mansion, Li Xiuning deliberately loosened one of his breast buttons. Without the restraints of his coat, most of his bellyband was exposed. He looked at Luo Yu in a confused way. Li Xiuning
However, he grabbed the seat cushion next to him and covered it, then jumped out of the carriage and asked him to bathe and change clothes as he walked, because he smelled of sweat.
Are you being teased by a female gangster? You have been training with the team in the past few months, and your body has grown a little taller. You were about 1.75 meters when you came here, and you should be 1.8 meters now, half a head taller than Li Xiuning.
.Strength, physique, and reaction ability are increasing in all aspects. Even the face has changed. It has become rounder and more handsome. It seems that it is not impossible to be teased...
I was thinking randomly in my mind. As soon as I entered the mansion, Zhang Yang came towards me and said with cupped hands: "Instructor, there is important information in Liaodong, we have translated it." After saying that, he took the information from his arms and handed it to Luo Yu.
Luo Yu read it and asked: "How long did it take you to send this information to receive it?" Zhang Yang said: "Because there were people relaying it all the way, and each person sent it almost two hundred miles, so there is no need to cherish the horse power, and we have to travel day and night.
, it can be done much faster, this time it took five and a half days, but two horses still ran to death..."
From Linfen to Liaodong, the straight-line distance is almost 2,300 miles. Now that the current situation in Hebei is included, we have to take a detour, which works out to almost 3,000 miles. It took the special team five days and five nights to change people and horses in the relay method.
After running three thousand miles in half a day, it was a bit difficult...
Luo Yu asked: "Is anyone injured? If possible, please bury the horses properly, and I will give them horses privately!"
Zhang Yang said: "No one was injured. Twenty-six team members were sent along the way, and every two people were in a group. Sixteen of them were used to send the message this time. Some of them were afraid that they had been exposed, so they applied to change their positions.
.”
Luo Yu said: "You have arranged these things. Aren't you taking a break now? You and Liu Xin will go around the army to see if there are any suitable seedlings and select them to form the second special force team. You veterans will be the instructors.
I won’t get involved. Remember, take actual combat as the starting point and don’t do anything fancy.”
Zhang Yang said excitedly: "Yes!" Now he can torture a rookie, just like the instructor tortured them back then.
Luo Yu said angrily: "You can find your own base. Let the rookies build the venue themselves. Don't have too much fun. If I hear something I shouldn't hear, you can handle it yourself! Also, leave three team members.
On my side, at any time, go ahead!"
Zhang Yang shuddered: "Yes!" He turned around and left quickly.
Luo Yu slowly walked to the bathhouse, weighing in his mind: "I didn't expect that Goguryeo actually dug out oil and used it on the battlefield. They probably don't know how to practice oil. If they are allowed to fiddle with it, something will be wrong.
However, from the current point of view, it seems that it has not happened yet, but there is no guarantee that it will not happen in the future. This symptom must be cut off." Thinking in his mind, he passed the bathhouse unknowingly, walked into a room, and lay down.
Fell on the bed.
Li Xiuning didn't like being waited on, so she sent the two maids back to the house to rest. After taking a bath, she just entered the bedroom and saw Luo Yu lying on her bed, his eyes wide open, and he was still muttering unconsciously.
What.
He turned around and closed the door, tightened his pajamas, poured a cup of tea, brought it to Luo Yu, who was suffering from seizures, and said, "Luo joins the army. He didn't bring anything with him when he came to visit. Please use tea!"
Luo Yu woke up with a start. There was a refreshing fragrance in his nose, and the pink mosquito net came into view. He turned his head and saw Li Xiuning sitting on the stool beside the bed with a cup of tea, his big eyes full of smiles.
As if waiting for him to explain.
Luo Yu didn't dare to look anymore. This little girl was so charming that she couldn't bear to die. She was dressed in a white pajama with a lapel, and she didn't even wear a bellyband. Half an inch of her breasts were exposed, and her charming cleavage could be clearly seen. Her long hair was scattered casually.
The pretty face without any rouge was red, coupled with the full smile, Luo Yu was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes and said: "Xiuning, do you believe me when I say I went to the wrong room?"
Yang Guang is known as a good soldier. He has led his troops in several battles, but he has never found a tough battle. This time he had millions of troops, and he had already lost 1,500 people before he saw the enemy. At this moment, he was furious in the commander's camp, but Yang Guang was furious.
Lin and Yu Wenhua couldn't get angry, and it was already over the Dragon Boat Festival. There was still a big difference between day and night in this ghost place. During the day, it could be hot and blistering, but at night, it could freeze and freeze the urine.
Yang Lin waited for Yang Guang to calm down and said: "Your Majesty, the two generals cannot be blamed for this defeat. Goguryeo has to take advantage of some calculations. Our army is on an expedition and has just arrived on the battlefield. Because the terrain is unfamiliar,
Slight defeat is inevitable. Zhang Liang's navy has already assembled at Qinhuangdao. In a few days, he will lead his troops to sail across the Bohai Sea, land behind Yingkou, and attack our army from front to back, completing their victory in one battle."
Yang Guang thought for a while and said: "Even if Zhang Liang can lead his army across the Bohai Sea, if the land route cannot contain the Goguryeo forces, it is unlikely that they will be able to successfully land, so the main battlefield is still here."
Yu Wenhuaji said: "What your Majesty said is very true. I heard that there are tunnels in the three cities of Goguryeo, but they are too far apart and rescue is not easy. Our army can attack the three places at the same time, so that they cannot take care of both ends. In view of the differences between Liaoyang and Yingkou
The defense is too strong, Wei Chen suggested using Xiang City as a breakthrough point. As long as our army can break through Xiang City, we can cut off the snake's body, connect the three cities with tunnels, and send troops to take the back route of the two cities."
Yang Lin said: "What I am worried about is that this city is basically an empty city. If after our army invades, the enemy troops have withdrawn from the tunnel and then seal the tunnel, then there is no point in destroying Xiang City. Besides,
Even if the city is successfully breached and the enemy does not seal the tunnel, we don’t know the details of the tunnel, so how many troops can our army send out?"
Yu Wenhua said: "If it is true as the marshal said, I would like to send a team of a thousand people to test it. The walls of this city are not high, and it would be best if they can be broken quickly. Furthermore, my army of millions cannot just wait like this."
Now, you have to make the enemy move to find the flaw,"
After Yang Guang listened, he thought for a moment and said, "What you two dear friends are right is right. Marshal, let's arrange it like this!" He seemed unwilling to talk any more and turned back to the back tent.
A team of a thousand people slowly approached Xiangcheng carrying ladders, but there was still no movement until they were a hundred steps away from the city gate. Yang Lin watched from the high platform, and he was even more confused. Is this city really empty? Under the command tent.
The marching drums were beaten, and the thousand-man team shouted and rushed forward. Then, before they could react, they saw a rocket shoot down from the city wall, and the moat immediately turned into a river of fire.
, accompanied by thick black smoke, before retreating, the entire ground seemed to be on fire.
The fire seemed to spread in just an instant. The huge square was filled with thick smoke. The thousand-man team retreated rapidly from the beginning until they all fell to the ground and burned. It only took two breaths. If Luo Yu were here, he would definitely know what was going on. Petroleum
After burning, part of it will turn into gasoline, and part of it will turn into carbon dioxide. Even if the thousand-man team in the center of the fire is not burned to death, they will be poisoned by inhaling too much carbon dioxide. In addition, with such a fire, the surrounding air has been evacuated.
, so the Thousand-Man Team fell to the ground without even a few screams, and were burned alive.
Yang Lin and Yu Wenhuaji looked at the tragic situation in front of them, looked at each other, and hurriedly ordered Ming Jin to withdraw their troops. Except for leaving twenty personal guards to continue to monitor, the entire army retreated five miles and set up camp.
If you don't understand what this black water is and think of a way to break it, the city will be impossible to attack.
Yang Guang heard about it and came over to ask. Another thousand-man team was destroyed by Zhu Rong. Still no enemy was seen. He was so angry that he couldn't breathe. What kind of magic weapon is Black Water? If it gets stuck, there is only one way to die.
There is no chance of escape.
Two of the surveillance men came back, and Yang Lin asked: "Jiang Dong, what's the matter?" The tall and thin Jiang Dong replied: "Return to the commander, the fire burned for half an hour before it was extinguished, and there were no bones left of the thousand-man team.
Everything around the fire scene was scorched black, and no one was seen moving in the city. However, the suspension bridge in Xiangcheng was burned and the city gate was also destroyed by the fire."
Yang Lin waved his hand and told them to go down. He had been fighting for so many years, and he had never been so weak as today. Two thousand five hundred people were burned to ashes and one general was injured. He didn't even see any of the combatants. This battle
How else to fight?
Yang Guang's order was passed down again, and two thousand-man teams were organized to attack the city with ladders. Yang Lin hurriedly entered the tent to stop it, saying: "Your Majesty, there is no need to bring ladders. The gate of Xiangcheng has been destroyed by fire. You can enter from the city."
We have entered the city at the gate."
Yang Guangdao: "According to the words of the marshal, Xiangcheng will be captured today, and I will avenge the dead soldiers!"
Another thousand-man team stepped into this black hell with weapons. These were the troops transferred from the rear team. They had not seen the miserable scene just now. The captain warned and slowly searched forward. The archers kept their eyes on the city wall and drew attention.
The bow was ready to fire, and if someone appeared, he would shoot him directly. But until the thousands of people behind him also caught up, there was still no movement in the city. It was as quiet as death, which made people even more confused.
The marching drum was beating, and he didn't care about so much. The captain led the army directly to the bank of the deep black moat, which was about two feet deep and two feet wide. The suspension bridge had been burned. At a glance, the city gate was not open.
It was about one foot deep, and not far inside was a restaurant. The cloth sign with the word "wine" was still fluttering in the wind, as if to welcome them in, but no one was seen.
Although the moat was dry, there was still no way to jump over it at a distance of two feet, so the commander ordered a team of thousands of people to wait here on alert. He went to ask for instructions on whether to fill a road out so that soldiers and horses could enter the city to find out.
As soon as the tea time passed, there was a commotion behind. A group of peasants carrying hundreds of kilograms of red soil on their shoulders was walking quickly. The group of thousands of people automatically dispersed on both sides, leaving a way for the peasants to pass.
The soil was picked up continuously, and in less than half an hour, a three-foot-wide road was filled in, and all the people retreated. Now the last obstacle was removed.
Yuan Gaisuwen and Jin Chengfei glanced at the Sui army's thousand-man team at the Tibetan soldiers and returned to the general's mansion. When the city gate was on fire, they ordered the thousand soldiers and horses left behind in Xiangcheng to withdraw into the tunnel, and then moved the tunnels on both sides.
Seal it, leaving the Sui army with an empty city and several thousand kilograms of black oil, and of course a few dead soldiers waiting to light the fire. He wanted to use this fire to tell Yang Guang that we, Goguryeo, are not so easy to bully.
In fact, as early as the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, discussions were already underway on whether to launch an eastern expedition. After Gao Yangcheng opened the official route, he not only stopped paying tribute, but instead sent troops south to attack the city and provoke the border. However, at that time, the Sui Dynasty was attacking the Chen Dynasty in the south.
, there is no spare time to look north, so let him go for the time being.
But after destroying Nanchen, when he wanted to use troops, Emperor Wen was hampered by the Tibetan affairs in the west. As a result, he did not send troops to the east until his death. After Yang Guang came to the throne, he first built the first phase of the Grand Canal and then built New Luoyang.
city, and then sent troops to the northwest to incorporate Qinghai, where Tuyuhun was located, into the Chinese territory. After doing all this, he took a two-year rest. After the treasury was full, he did not bother to send troops to Liaodong, because he was afraid that he would be destroyed if he did not come again, and he would be in trouble in the future.
.
The thousand-man team finally entered the city. This city didn't look like a military city at all. There was no inner city wall. The buildings inside were in a disorderly manner. The streets were not streets and the roads were winding. No one was seen in the city. There were people everywhere in the small rivers and ditches.
It's the smelly water. When you open the door of the store, you'll see straw, dry firewood and the like.
Although he felt something was wrong, he did not find any danger for the time being, so the commander ordered people to search for the tunnel entrance, and then sent people to report what they saw in the city to the marshal, who would then make a decision.
The order received by the second thousand-man team was that after the first thousand-man team entered the city to check that there was no danger, they immediately entered the city and increased their troops to take over the three gates. When they all entered the city and were ready to assign tasks, the golden sound sounded, and there was a rush.
And Jing Jing, before he could understand what was going on, smoke was billowing from the restaurant in front of him, and the black smelly water in the creek next to him turned into a fire dragon, roaring and spreading away.
Just when they were about to order a retreat, the stone gate in the city gate was opened. Seven or eight Goguryeo soldiers in yellow were each holding a large wine jar and smashed it to the ground. The black water and butter inside instantly flowed to the ground, and a torch
Throwing it down, a ball of flames rose into the sky and surrounded the entire city gate. The Goguryeo soldiers, covered in flames, rushed toward the thousands-man team that had not yet reacted. For a moment, screams resounded throughout the sky.
The captain tried to use his clothes to extinguish the fire on his comrades, but found that it was impossible. The fire was like a gangrene attached to the bones, getting stronger and stronger, and his clothes immediately started to burn. There was no way to retreat, so he had to give up the rescue and carry with him
The soldiers who were not on fire retreated to the road next to the restaurant. Although they didn't know what was waiting for them in front, it was better than being burned alive here.
Looking at the burned area as black as old ink, I finally understood why the darkness in the square came from when I arrived. The two thousand people of my own had become a death squad, and they were still unaware of it. Maybe no one could have guessed what would happen when they entered the city.
Let's encounter this situation.
Thick smoke drifted away in the wind, and there were more and more fires everywhere. It was probably the Goguryeo soldiers who were setting fires everywhere. Until the house full of straw started to smoke, the commander looked back and saw that the soldiers behind him were gone.
How long did it take for me to understand why the streets and roads here had to be built with twists and turns? However, it was too late. A dead Goguryeo warrior covered in fire jumped out of the fire tower and hugged the commander.
…
Yang Lin looked at the fire and smoke in front of him, with tears in his eyes. The two thousand people were about to die again...
(It took two days to write a 7,000-word chapter. I would like to save it for book friends. It’s free of charge...
