The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 821
"That's right. Now the army has split up. Your Majesty personally led the army to attack Liaodong City. Li Jibing issued Tongding. If Tongding is taken, the next step is Xincheng. Let's bypass Qianyu and take Gaimu, Xuantu, and Li. Ji Ji’s army gathered to take Baiyan, and then joined His Majesty in Liaodong City.” Li Daozong said: “Zhang Jian led the army to Anshi, even if he didn’t fight, he had to be careful whether Anshi City would send troops to support Liaodong City. , to make things difficult for His Majesty."

"It's a big game of chess." Xuan Shijing said with emotion: "This side of Liaodong, once our Great Tang army comes, it will turn the world upside down."

"Yes, that's what His Majesty wants." Li Daozong said: "Xuanhou, this time, I plan to take 4000 people to Gaimu and Beisha City, and I will hand them over to Xuanhou."

If Li Daozong wants to attack Gaimu City, he must not bring too few people. 4000 people are the limit that the vanguard can use. It is also after careful consideration to leave Xuan Shijing with 1000 people to defend the city. Today's Liaodong The battlefield is not the same as in the past, Beisha City is not alone here, not to mention that Jian'an City has been controlled by Liu Hongji and Zhang Liang's navy, even on the side of Anshi City, Zhang Jian also brought people nearby to prevent accidents , so the pressure on Beisha City suddenly decreased a lot.

"Don't worry, my lord." Xuan Shijing replied with a smile.

Xuan Shijing didn't care that he couldn't play in this battle. Among the vanguards, Xuan Shijing and the three hundred soldiers were already dazzling enough.

After taking Beisha City, they cheated food and grass twice, and 300 people stole Jian'an City. Such feats, when they return to Chang'an, they will not be able to get away with the first proper feat.

This is also the benefit of the vanguard.

Now even if Xuan Shijing just defends Beisha City and does nothing, watching the whole battle over, others will not be able to pick any thorns.

At noon, Li Daozong ordered [-] vanguard troops, and left Beisha City under the banner of openness and integrity. After Li Daozong left, Yang Wanchun of Anshi City finally learned from the scouts that Beisha City had already become a city. Those Tang Jun's pockets.

"Bastard!" Yang Wanchun, who wanted to be calm, lost his temper in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion. Everything that could be thrown in his sight was smashed by him, even if it was the Datang porcelain that he loved very much. Those debris on the ground, what an irony.

"General, please calm down. Now that the Tang army has split up and headed to various cities in Liaodong, what should we do?" The deputy general stood at the bottom, ignoring the debris at his feet, and said to Yang Wanchun.

As a general, Yang Wanchun didn't know what was the most important thing right now, so he forced himself to calm down, and said to the lieutenant general: "It wasn't Quan Gai Suwen who caused all this, send someone to deliver a letter to Quan Gai Suwen, look at him How to deal with it, as for our Anshi City side, there is no need to react for the time being, those cities were taken down by Tang Jun not as easily as you imagined."

"Yes, General." The deputy general responded, and then asked cautiously, "That's over there in Beisha City."

"Beisha City!" Mentioning the words Beisha City, Yang Wanchun clenched his fist tightly: "Once the [-] troops of Beisha City leave, there must not be many guards left in the city. Set off and attack Beisha City, and you will supervise the battle yourself!"

"Yes, General." The deputy general agreed, then turned around and left the City Lord's Mansion, and went to order troops.

Anshi City originally had [-] troops hoarded. When Quan Gai Suwen attacked Anshi City, they were all blocked by Yang Wanchun. It can be seen that there are many sick people in Anshi City and the city walls are hard. Now that [-] troops leave Anshi City, it is impossible to It will not have any impact on the defense of Anshi City, so Yang Wanchun is also relieved.

As for Beisha City, it must be the vanguard army of the Tang Army. The number of vanguard troops is not large. Now that there are so many people left, it must be very appropriate for 1 people to attack Beisha City.

From Anshi City to Beisha City, the army is marching, two days' journey, so why the scouts on the side of Beisha City may not be able to hear the news of the army.

"Yang Wanchun finally realizes that he has been deceived for so long, it's not easy." In the mansion, Xuan Shijing sat on the main seat and said to Chang Le.

"According to what Lord Hou said, this Yang Wanchun is really pitiful. You should stop mocking him. Ten thousand troops will be approaching the city soon. Counting those veterans in Beisha City, they are only one thousand and three. How can we fight?" ?” Chang Le said helplessly.

"To attack a city, ten times as much is enough to defeat it. If you want to attack a city, the attacking side must have ten times as many troops as the defending side to take down the city. An army of ten thousand, why panic, it's still three thousand short." Xuan Shijing laughed. smiled.

"My lord, what time is it, don't be joking." Regarding Xuan Shijing's leisurely complacency, Chang Le didn't know what to say.

"Don't panic, isn't it just 1 people? Have you forgotten the wide and deep ditch in front of the gate of our Beisha city?" Xuan Shijing smiled: "Chang Le, let Fang Shu take two hundred soldiers to the beach Son, when the signal sounds from our place, dig the embankment at once."

"Yes, Lord Hou." Chang Le responded.

After so many days, Chang Le really forgot about this. He dug the ditches in front of the city gate so wide and so deep. Wasn’t it just for the purpose that the ditches would come in handy? However, those who dug directly under the city wall and wanted to attack Beisha City had to enter through the suspension bridge at the main entrance, and the rest could only climb up from the ditch with the extended ladder.

And want to walk the suspension bridge at the main entrance, is it possible?

Now the four gates of Beisha City, except for the north gate, the remaining three gates have already been bricked to death, and the north gate has become the only exit.

Fang Shu led 200 people out of the city, headed towards the sea, and rode away on horseback. Not long after, the deputy general of Anshicheng arrived at the base of Beisha City with [-] Goguryeo soldiers.

The wide and deep ditch I saw earlier felt that Beisha City would be safe, but now it has become an insurmountable obstacle for them to attack Beisha City.

I am afraid that at that time, Beisha City had already been occupied by these Tang troops.

Looking at the towering city walls and deep trenches, the lieutenant-general who led the army felt powerless, but fortunately, the ladder brought from Anshi City was enough.

"General, should we attack the city directly or set up camp first?" the lieutenant next to the deputy general asked. Seeing the current appearance of Beisha City, anyone would know in his heart that this is a very difficult nut to crack.

"After two days of marching, the soldiers are already tired. They have retreated ten miles to set up camp, and let the soldiers cut wood and make some catapults." The lieutenant general ordered.

"Yes." The captain replied, and then ran down to convey the order.

"Basar City."
