The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 808
"How to catch 3000 people?" Li Daozong stared at Xuan Shijing and asked.

"It depends on whether the prince wants to take this risk. Now there are [-] vanguard troops in Beisha City. After a few days, the layout of Beisha City has not changed much, but just the gate, whether it is outside or inside, Even if some of the soldiers in Anshi City were familiar with Beisha City and entered the city gate, they would not be able to recognize the layout of Beisha City for a while." Xuan Shijing said.

After the 5000 pioneers entered the city, the layout of the city naturally changed. It doesn't take much, at least [-] people must be accommodated in a camp. For this reason, a lot of houses were demolished near the city gate. The original camp of Goguryeo defenders was also completely changed by the Tang army.

"You mean to let these 3000 people in?" Li Daozong asked.

"Exactly." Xuan Shijing nodded: "The 3000 people from Goguryeo came to attack Beisha City. It is indeed difficult to shake the city guarded by our [-] elites. When attacking Beisha City, how confident is the prince that he can defend Beisha City?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Less than [-]%." Li Daozong replied very truthfully: "Right now Liu Hongji's navy is fighting Goguryeo fiercely at sea, not only the navy on Beisha City is restrained by him, but also Pyongyang City, We have also dispatched a navy to encircle and suppress Liu Hongji's navy, and we don't have any help from Beisha City for the time being."

After speaking, Li Daozong paused, and said by speaking: "If it is true that there is no help, then it is not necessarily true. The Khitan and Mohe in the north have already ordered them to send troops to harass Goguryeo. With them, Liaodong Here, our pressure will be lighter, but after all, we are foreigners, so we can’t trust them all. In the south of Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and Baekje Sulai have good relations with Goguryeo. Now Quangai Suwen is in contact with Baekje Frequently, Silla will definitely be attached to Datang, but for us, Silla is still far away and not enough to rely on."

Li Daozong clearly analyzed the forces in Liaodong and its surrounding areas in a few words.

"In the Battle of Liaodong, Beisha City was the most important thing. It must not be lost. Once our vanguard loses Beisha City, it will be difficult to regain it." Xuan Shijing said.

Even Xuan Shijing can tell the importance of Beisha City. Could it be that Quangai Suwen and Yang Wanchun don't know?

When the Tang Dynasty occupied Beisha City, it was equivalent to sticking a knife in the chest of Goguryeo. If the knife was not pulled out before the army came, the damage to Goguryeo would be fatal. Once the knife was pulled out, Datang tried to stab the knife in again, but it was very difficult.

"That's right, personnel, food and grass." Li Daozong said with emotion: "It's okay to say food and grass. The navy will solve our logistical supplies no matter what, but the personnel, if you lose one more and want to make up for it, it's just a matter of time." Difficult." Li Daozong said: "Now it seems that our vanguard army has lost the mobility it should have, and is trapped in this Beisha City."

"Not necessarily, my lord, when I was in Ganlu Hall, I told His Majesty about the battle of Liaodong. The importance of Beisha City is self-evident. Originally, the vanguard army opened the way for the army. But Beisha City, there is only one.” Xuan Shijing said: “If we follow the route of the vanguard army, when we are about to take Beisha City, it will not be as simple as it is now. Earned." Xuan Shijing laughed.

Li Daozong understands the truth, but 5000 people defend Beisha City, which makes Li Daozong feel a little bit aggrieved for the vanguard.

However, Li Daozong is also a veteran in the battlefield, he knows what to do, but Li Daozong is more cautious when dealing with those risky ideas of young people.

"So, let's talk about your idea." Li Daozong said.

"Simple, as before, replace the guards at the head of the city with someone who is proficient in the Goguryeo language, negotiate with the commander of the 3000 Goguryeo soldiers, and welcome them to Beisha City to help defend the city. After the [-] people enter the city, close the city hit the door head-on." Xuan Shijing said: "Didn't the general next to you say that before?" Then, Xuan Shijing looked at another lieutenant general: "The former Sui soldiers in the city have been in Beisha City for a long time. Yes, even though he is old, he was still an elite from Guanzhong back then."

Xuan Shijing’s old age is based on the age of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Those soldiers left in Beisha City in the former Sui Dynasty have passed more than 45 years. The oldest one is also [-] or [-] years old. After many years of hard work, These people's bodies are still strong, and it is impossible to fight the enemy on the battlefield, but it is always possible to stand on the city wall and shoot cold arrows.

Li Daozong nodded: "That's right. Recruiting those people is also a force. Although they are not stronger than the vanguard, the hatred of these people for the Goguryeo people completely makes up for the shortcomings of their age."

Anyone who has been used as a coolie for more than [-] years will not lose the anger in his heart. Now that he has a chance to take revenge, how can these people lose their enthusiasm.

"These people can't go to the battlefield, but they can be arranged at the head of the city. The bows and arrows of the vanguard army will be given to them evenly. Before the vanguard army rushes out, these people will fight on the city wall in the first battle." Xuan Shijing said: "Pull the bow and release it." Arrow, these people will not check much more than the Vanguard Army."

"It's feasible!" Just hearing this, Li Daozong decided to do what Xuan Shijing said. Although there are risks, it is definitely more affordable than simply defending the city. , no one can escape, let alone deliver a letter to Anshicheng.

Xuan Shijing's idea was to continue to hide Anshicheng's side, just like intercepting and killing the food delivery team, and continued to send people to confuse Yang Wanchun.

If you don't do this, wait outside the city for 3000 people to attack the city, and the vanguard will attack again. It is inevitable that someone will take advantage of the chaos and run back to Anshi City to report to Yang Wanchun, let everyone in, close the door and beat the dog. More, not only gave the archers on the city wall a chance to perform, but also the vanguard could rely on the terrain to fight with these 3000 people and reduce losses.

Nowadays, there are not many real Goguryeo people in Beisha City, and they were all sent by Li Daozong to dig trenches outside the city, but there is no need to worry about this. The current Beisha City has temporarily become the "Dang Dynasty" Military City".

"Time is running out, lord, we have to hurry up and make arrangements." Xuan Shijing reminded.
