Chapter 520 Xue Rengui uses his soldiers like a god (two in one)(1/2)
"Dawei Lu, no, Wugu City was attacked by more than 100,000 troops, and our army suffered heavy casualties. Please send people to support quickly, otherwise there will be danger of breaking the city!"
A deputy general from Wugu City personally rushed to Pyongyang City for help.
In the Goguryeo Hall, a general worriedly said: "Now there are 100,000 troops in the north of our royal capital, and we are eyeing each other. At this time, we must not dare to divide the troops easily. Once the flaws are found by the enemy, Pyongyang City will be in danger!"
The deputy general who reported the news heard that someone had objected to support, almost fainted. "Da Lu, we have 50,000 soldiers and countless people in Wugu City. The last general was ordered to come to report the news to death. At that time, tens of thousands of losses were already lost. If we didn't rescue it, it would be all over!"
"Wugu City and Liaodong City can support each other. Pyongyang City is long. Why don't you ask General Yizhi Wende for help?" A general in the hall asked.
At this time, Yuan Gai Suwen waved his hand and pressed everyone down, "Okay, don't argue anymore. General Yizhi Wende still needs to be on guard against the Tang army and dare not act rashly.
Wugu City must be saved, otherwise Wugu City will be lost and Liaodong City will be destroyed without attacking, and my Goguryeo territory will be lost.
Draw 40,000 elite troops from Pyongyang City to support it.”
"It's not great to Lu! Take away 40,000, and only 60,000 are left to defend the city. The 100,000 enemy troops in the north will definitely attack." The civil and military officials in the hall all bowed and opposed it.
Yuan Gaisuwen said in a deep voice: "There are only a few cities and territories left, each of which is the top priority, so don't talk about it anymore.
As for the enemy troops in the north? You can prevent them from notice.
We secretly draw 40,000 support, and then select 40,000 young and strong men from our newly recruited recruits to complete the 100,000. As long as they can't see it, they won't act rashly. After so many days of stalemate, the other party is just dragging us down and will not fight head-on."
This is a solution. Everyone no longer objected. They just hoped that the front line could be dragged longer. The longer it dragged, the more beneficial it would be. After all, the big country was dragged to death after three attacks.
Outside Wugu City, in Xue Rengui's central army camp, many generals asked for battle noisy.
"Military Xue, now we have sufficient soldiers and food, and our equipment is renewed. It is the time to break through Wugu City in one go, why did we suddenly delay the attack? Yesterday, a small group of enemy troops escaped." Yuchi Baolin said dissatisfied.
Xue Rengui laughed, "It's a good escape, it's just that they want to escape from now on."
"Military advisor, you are not crazy, are you? The enemy has escaped and reported the news, are you still applauding?
If they brought reinforcements, can we still capture Wugu City?" Everyone was puzzled.
Xue Rengui asked, "Everyone, what is our purpose?"
"Surprising the city, otherwise what are we doing? Can you watch the people in the city play shadow puppets?"
"No, our purpose is not this small city. We mobilized all the troops, for the entire Goguryeo. To destroy the country, what is the 50,000 defenders in the city? It's not worth mentioning." Xue Rengui said.
"Hey, Military Commander Xue, you are also a powerful general. Why do you become a sensible person? You don't understand!" Yuchi Baolin said impatiently.
At the same time, he also looked at Cheng Chumo next to him, and Fang Yiai asked, "Cheng Da, Fang Er, do you understand?"
The two of them also shook their heads, and Cheng Chumo blinked, as if saying, "Because they don't understand, don't expose them too much."
Fang Yiai said in confusion: "Although I don't understand, Military Secretary Xue is the main general, so he must have a deep meaning. He should be using a strategy."
Yuchi Baolin:...
Li Zhen next to him said with a smile: "This is the plan of Military Advisor Xue, the famous work of "Siege the City and Fighting Aid"!
Nowadays, Wugu City is almost an isolated city, and most of Goguryeo has been defeated by us. Only Liaodong Road and Pyongyang Road in the northeast can support it. If we ambush the enemy's necessary path to reinforcements, we will definitely gain something."
"Hey! Why didn't you say it earlier? Isn't this just like kidnapping and extorting ransom? First tie the person, then blackmail the ransom, and then send someone to rob halfway, then blackmail, and then rob... Tsk tsk, this financial path is stable!" Cheng Chumo slapped his thigh and smiled.
...This guy is worthy of being the son of the Demon King of the World. When he asked for a plan, he thought of kidnapping and kidnapping?
Qin Huaidao couldn't stand it anymore and whispered to scold him.
Xue Rengui smiled and nodded and said, "This is generally the same.
Now that Goguryeo is beaten to the point of no fight back, we can take the opportunity to destroy his elite power. As long as their elite troops are consumed by us, these cities will not be able to defend even if they want to."
"Why didn't you tell us such a good plan before? If I had known this, would it be so hard to use my life to attack the city?" Fang Yiai said in confusion.
Li Zhen explained: "It is precisely because of this that we hide it from you. Otherwise, you will all pretend to attack the city, which will easily make the enemy see the flaws, and even if they escape to ask for help, they will not be too urgent.
This advancement and retreat can easily delay time. Our battle is the worst thing to delay. If it is until winter, the siege plan will be delayed until next year."
The few people laughed and scratched their heads involuntarily. Compared to using their brains and using strategies, everyone seemed to be good at rushing forward and killing the enemy.
"The problem now is, who will fight for aid from both east and west?" Xue Rengui asked.
"I'll go, give me 50,000 troops, and I'll kill as much as I come to Liaodong City!"
"I'll go, just give me 30,000 troops!"
"I'll do it. If there are 50,000 troops, I can kill to Pyongyang City..."
...
At first, they were fighting to fight and kill the enemy, but how did they become bragging? Xue Rengui and Li Zhen couldn't help but cover their eyes. Is there any reliable one for these little brothers to go to the battlefield?
Xue Rengui shouted and stopped everyone, "Okay, stop arguing, I already have someone to choose.
We had about 120,000 soldiers and horses in our hands, and left 20,000 to attack Wugu City. Just trap them if they didn't come out.
Another 20,000 yuan was distributed. Cheng Chumo led him to ambush the road to Liaodong City to the east. The enemy stayed in Liaodong City and didn’t leave. If he came out, he would beat me to death!"
"Ah? Only 20,000? If the Yizhi Wende from Liaodong City comes out in full swing, wouldn't I deliver vegetables to others for 20,000 people?" Cheng Chumo said with a bitter face.
"Yizhi Wende dared not come out. The 50,000 army of Li Dashui is not a decoration. If they can divide 30,000, it will be the best.
You have 20,000 people who are ambushing, not fighting head-on. 20,000 ambushing 30,000 is more than enough.
Aren’t you good at kidnapping? You can use whatever means you can, I just want the other party to be killed or injured to the maximum extent!" Xue Rengui reminded.
"Haha, okay, then I can let go of my hands and feet and make a big fuss." Cheng Chumo said excitedly, "No, what if no one comes to support them? Wouldn't I be in vain?"
Everyone laughed and said, "It depends on your luck. If God does not make military achievements for you, no one can do anything."
"There is another 40,000 people, led by Li Zhen and Yuchi Baolin, to ambush the only way to the east from Pyongyang City to Wugu City.
How many people will be there are still unknown. It depends on the status of Wugu City in Yeon Gaisuwen's heart. You must intercept the people and not let them come to support, nor let them escape back to Pyongyang City."
"Get the order!" the two responded to accept the order.
At this time, Fang Yiai asked, "No, there are still 40,000 people here. They neither besieged the city nor attacked the enemy. What should I do?"
Xue Rengui stood up and smiled and patted Fang Yiai's shoulder and said, "The last 40,000 people are the real top priority. Let me leave it to you and Brother Qin to bring it to Du He.
Siege the city and attack aid is our strategy, but everything is to create a chance for Du He to slay the dragon directly to Pyongyang. As long as Pyongyang City’s defense is empty, Du He will have a chance. If you and Brother Qin are surprised, the chance of success is 80%!
After taking Pyongyang City, there will be no Goguryeo again!”
What??
Except for Xue Rengui, everyone was shocked, including another military advisor Li Zhen, who didn't know about this plan.
Of course this is not the point. The point is that the greatest military achievements in the battle to destroy the country were distributed to Fang Yiai and others? Will there be some uneven division of labor?
Seeing everyone's strange expressions, Xue Rengui knew it and sighed and explained: "I know everyone is thinking about the achievements of destroying the royal city, but once we all come to the Tang Dynasty, we are the first to fight together.
Secondly, this battle was basically planned and promoted by Doctor Du, and everyone must have understood the inside story. It was considered to be a rebellious prodigal son who helped Du He, a rebellious prodigal son, waited for him for three years. It was indeed not easy for the two of them.
Xue apologizes to you all for this selfishness!"
After listening quietly, everyone looked at Xue Rengui who was bowing and hurried forward to support him.
Fang Yiai shouted: "Qinglian is my good brother. I can ignore military merits. Military Secretary Xue, please change to someone else."
Cheng Chumo kicked the guy and scolded: "What do you mean by Fang Er? You don't want military merits. Are we just greedy for military merits?"
"That's right, the miraculous doctor, Brother Du, is very nice to us. Everyone has the opportunity to fight a big battle at this age. Thanks to Brother Du, what kind of military achievements are not military achievements? So what if you help me for free for Brother Du, what if you help me for free?" Yuchi Baolin echoed.
"That's right, Military Advisor Xue, don't underestimate me and brothers!"
Everyone agreed, Xue Rengui was very moved, and Li Zhen advised: "Brother Xue, you are thinking too much. Everyone present is Brother Du's brother. We know Brother Du and are still ahead of you, so how can you apologize and explain to us? When I left Chang'an, Brother Du made an explanation.
Besides, this Pyongyang City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I don’t know if Du He can conquer it. If he can really succeed in one battle, that is his personal ability. I, Li Zhen, is lucky. After all, if I were me, I would not be sure to break the city."
Xue Rengui smiled and said, "According to the scouts' discovery, there are only 100,000 elite defenders in Pyongyang City, all of whom are confronting Du He. If they want to support Wugu City this time, they must draw troops from here and replace them with ordinary young and strong bluffs.
The more they replace, the more empty their strength will be, so they have a great chance of victory. Fang Er and Brother Qin, you are very quick and you have agreed with Du He a day in advance. Whether you can defeat them early depends on yours."
After the plan was completed, the generals immediately acted separately. Xue Rengui personally led 20,000 people to pretend to attack the city. At this time, even if the head of Wugu City noticed the decrease in the troops below, he could do nothing. No one could guarantee whether it was a trap set by the army below. What if he was to lure everyone out of the city and die?
At the same time, in the Liaodong City, Yizhi Wende also received an urgent report from Wugucheng for help.
Originally, Liaodong City and Wugu City could support each other and help each other, but the current situation made Yizhi Wende hesitate. How many rescue can the 80,000 defenders in his city be drawn?
The opponent had an army of 120,000 to attack the city, and the number of people who were drawn was less dropping, while the number of people who were drawn was empty and the number of people in Liaodong was really difficult to deal with.
"General, Wugu City is the closest supporter in Liaodong City. Our food and grass need to be replenished, so we cannot lose it!
The last general asked to lead troops to rescue him." The general under Yizhi Wende begged.
Frowning, Yizhi Wende said, "I know that there is no need to be misunderstood, but have you ever thought about it? What if we return to help, what should we do if Li Ji from the city hits him?"
"General, the Tang army under the city will not take action. They have been confronting us for many days. If we want to attack the city, we will have attacked a long time ago. We will take action when we support the new city. How could we wait until now?"
"Hmph, Li Ji is famous, so I have to be careful!
Moreover, the 120,000 troops of Wugu City are besieged by us, so we decided to defend Liaodong City to the death and not leave, Wugu City will rely on the big Lu to rescue it.
Forty thousand troops should be able to persevere in Pyongyang City.” Eddie Wendedao.
What???
Without rescue? How can we not rescue?
"General, if Wugu City is captured, our Liaodong City will become an isolated city. At that time, we will be attacked from all sides, so how can we resist guarding?"
