Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 325 Fortified City
Yu Wenhuaji was ambushed in Dadonggou, four thousand Qingqi lost three thousand two, and retreated to the Sanchahe camp in embarrassment, but he never dared to take advantage of the momentum to attack Gaimu and Xincheng.

Along the way, they retreated in a hurry, for fear that the Goguryeo army would come after them again.

When he finally entered the Sanchahe camp, Yu Wenhuaji became arrogant again.He ordered the soldiers to pickle the chopped Goguryeo heads one by one with lime and seal them up, and then began to write a pen to report the victory to Linshuo Palace, and then wrote a letter to his father Yu Wenshu, explaining the situation. He complained that Luo Cheng's rescue came late, which caused him to lose a lot of Qingqi, and asked his father to help him join Luo Cheng's copy.

After finishing all this, Yu Wenhuaji ordered the gates of the camp to be closed tightly so that they could not get out.

"Brother, that bastard Luo Cheng actually marched into Gaimu City."

When Yu Wenhuaji heard this, he became annoyed, "How dare he attack Gai Mou?"

"Chengdu just sent someone to report, saying that Luo Cheng cleaned up the battlefield and killed all two thousand prisoners. This bastard, we fought tough battles, but he came here to pick up a big deal for nothing. He chopped off three thousand heads and returned Captured the city lord of Xincheng alive, and captured the commander-in-chief flag of the enemy army. You know, Yuan Jiantu, the lord of Xincheng, is the second son of Goguryeo Molizhiyuan Taizuo.'

"Now Luo Cheng has transferred a lot of troops from Xuantu and Shiligang, and now he is marching towards Gaimu City with [-] vanguard troops, [-] tribal soldiers and county soldiers and township regiments."

Yu Wenhuaji's heart was bleeding.

Goguryeo's [-] forwards attacked, and he didn't go to reinforce the Sifang Fort, but he didn't expect that Luo Siye of the Sifang Fort actually made a beautiful counterattack. On the way, he was ambushed and lost [-] light cavalry. If Luo Cheng hadn't led the troops over, he would have lost his life today.

But Yu Wenhuaji didn't feel grateful, he just hated Luo Cheng even more.

"You said that the Goguryeo people were newly defeated. If Gaimu City couldn't stop it from surrendering, or if it was destroyed, wouldn't it be a great achievement for nothing?"

"Gaimu City is much stronger and more dangerous than Xuantu City, Luo Cheng can't have such good luck, right?"

"I mean what if?" Yu Wenhuaji asked with a dark face.

Yu Wenzhi thought for a while, "Then why don't we also lead our troops to the city of Gaimu? If Luo Cheng captures Gaimu, then we will also have a share of credit."

Yu Wenhuaji said again, "But if the attack fails, or if other Goguryeo troops from the surrounding area come to help, in this snowy day, they may also be besieged. Forget it, let the mother die, we just stay here Take a rest. Anyway, with these two thousand heads, even if you have no merit, you can overcome them."

Gaimu.

Gaimu City was built on the mountain, blocking the river in front.

The later generation here is Shenyang, and the Hun River flows through it.

At this time, the Hun River was called Xiao Liao River. It ran from east to west and merged into the Liao River in the west. Along the channel of the river, it was a natural passage through the mountains of Liaodong. Three Korean peninsula.

Although this channel is not the only one that can enter the inland, the Xiaoliao River is also an important channel, so there are dozens of mountain castles such as Gaimu and Xincheng guarding this channel.

Yang Wanchun, the lord of Gaimu City, threw down Yuan Jiantu and took the lead to flee back to Gaimu. Then he sent troops here to intercept the other ministries. He forced the ministries to enter the city and then accepted his command.

Although Yang Wanchun was born in the south, but as a royalist faction, he was trusted by the king Gao Yuan. His methods are strong, and all the newly defeated armies accepted his command.

Ever since, in Gaimu City, the [-] defeated soldiers quickly recovered their morale.

In addition, there were [-] soldiers stationed in the original Gaimu City, so Yang Wanchun had [-] soldiers and horses.He also ordered that the young and strong in the city go to the city to assist in the defense, and thousands of people were recruited at once.

Yang Wanchun also sent the original Gaimu city's owner to lead people to the new city to take over the city defense and send troops to help.

When Luo Cheng arrived at Gaimu City with [-] vanguard troops, [-] tribal soldiers, and town regiment soldiers, what he saw was not the scene of Gaimu's panic and fear, but silence.

In the middle of the mountain, Gaimu City stands tall.

The flag of Goguryeo is fluttering, and behind the city wall built of rocks, there are vague figures shaking.

Luo Cheng sighed, "It's a pity."

Siye frowned, "It seems that he is indeed prepared, but he doesn't take action, and he doesn't know the truth."

A leader of the Khitan soldiers volunteered.

Luo Cheng took a look at the bald and bearded man, and there was a big gold ring hanging on his ear.Being brave is very brave, but a bit bruised.

"That's fine, please ask Moge to take the lead and try Goguryeo."

Moco comes from the Xiwandan tribe of the eight tribes of Khitan. This is an old tribe of the eight tribes of Khitan. In the early years, Khitan was attacked by Turks, Sui, and Goguryeo. The combination established a new eight parts, and the eight parts also achieved an alliance, forming the Dahe Alliance to jointly fight against foreign enemies.

After being defeated by the Goguryeo people in the early years, Moko was taken captive and went south. Later, he lived with his tribe in Liaodong and became a Goguryeo citizen.

However, he and many of his clansmen were actually dissatisfied with the Goguryeo people. After all, in Liaodong, they did not have the freedom to live on the Khitan grassland.

Mo Ge brought hundreds of Khitan tribal soldiers, and Luo Cheng drew hundreds of tribal soldiers to him, a total of 1000 people launched a feint attack.

on the snow-capped mountains.

Mo Ge shouted and took the lead in the charge.

In the middle of the rush, many rolling stones and woods were suddenly dropped from the mountain.

The boulder rolled down with a huge impact. There was only one narrow road in front of the mountain city, and the rest of the road was steep. This counterattack caused heavy casualties to the tribal soldiers.

More than ten people were lost.

They continued to charge forward, but stones and logs continued to be thrown from above, and then there were crossbow arrows shot down.

Before rushing to the wall of the mountain city, the tribal soldiers had already lost no less than a hundred people.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng shook his head and ordered the troops to withdraw.

"This Gaimu City is really heavily guarded. It seems that Yang Wanchun is really capable, and he has no chance."

"Just withdraw like this?"

Luo Cheng looked at Gaimu City.

"The terrain of this mountain city is dangerous, and there are estimated to be more than ten thousand guards in the city. This kind of mountain city was originally set up for defense. It stores food, stores weapons, food and water, and can hold on for a long time. Ten thousand guards must be few. The soldiers of times, and the long-term siege and attack can be successful. The current weather is not suitable for siege. Besides, he has [-] in the city, and we only have [-]. Goguryeo soldiers come to surround us, we may not be able to leave. Let’s withdraw.”

"I'm not reconciled to just withdrawing like this." Siye said.

Veteran Taoist Wei Zheng said with a smile, "The land of Xincheng used to have a total of about [-] soldiers and horses, but after several battles at Wu Liluo, Xuantu, Sifangtai, and Dadonggou, nearly half of the soldiers have been lost. Now Gaimou There are more than [-] soldiers in the city, so the other dozens of mountain castles have a total of only [-] people. Even the new city, which is an important town around a dozen miles away, is definitely very empty at this time."

Luo Cheng turned his head to look at Wei Zheng, "Could it be that Wei Jishi wants to suggest that I lead the army to bypass Gaimu and directly attack the important town of Xincheng in the rear?"
