Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 167 Beheading
"Goryeo, Goguryeo..." Xu Qing muttered in his heart, cursing to himself that he made the wrong person.After Goguryeo failed in the war with the Tang Dynasty, the whole nation moved into the Central Plains. Later, it was not the Goguryeo people who established the country on the peninsula, but the Silla people living in the southern part of the peninsula.After the founding of the Silla people, they changed their name to Goryeo...

After Xu Qing understood this, he smiled embarrassingly, and said in his heart to the kneeling captives covered in bruises: You will be spared the crime of robbing me of Qu Yuan. Sin is inevitable.Xu Qing didn't feel too much guilt. Anyway, Goguryeo and Goryeo are both birds in the same forest, so what good things can they have.

Seeing Xu Qing's sinister smile, the prisoners couldn't help but feel chills down their backs and shiver in this hot day.

Xu Qing played around like this, time passed quickly, no one knew, including Xu Qing himself, he bullied the captives not just to vent, but to escape the scene of burning the corpses of the state soldiers by bullying the captives.

200 people were killed, [-] were injured... The wounded soldiers are fine, Xu Qing has a way to reduce inflammation and stop bleeding, but the dead will never come back to life.

The corpses of state soldiers who died in battle were burned into ashes and placed in an altar, and transported away. At this time, the sun was shining...

After the battlefield was cleared, the seized weapons, food and grass were loaded into vehicles and transported towards Xu Qi.Some offal was left, piled up with the corpses of the enemy soldiers, and lit a fire.

At this time Chu Jiang came to report and said:

"Ten horses captured! Fifty mules!"

Immediately Xu Qing was overjoyed, there was a horse to ride, and her legs finally didn't have to support her own weight, Xu Qing was so happy that she almost started to groan.Huang Shimei, Chujiang and others all replaced with horses, mule-drawn carts, wounded soldiers could sit on the goods, and two horses were left for Yang Cheng and Yang Xin who had given away.

This side came back with a big victory, but everyone in Duan Hongchen was waiting for death.

Four of the five negotiating messengers came back lying down, and the remaining one who went to the Xi family had no news.There are only less than [-] soldiers in Duanhongchen City, and there are hundreds of temporary recruits, but they have to face [-] Mohe soldiers plus [-] powerful foreign aid from Goguryeo.Breaking the world of mortals, the pressure is great.

Five thousand coalition troops arrived as scheduled.Duan Hongchen stood on a relatively wide arrow tower, and Xu Qi stood on the left.Beside them, more than a dozen members of the dark river held crossbow arrows and looked around vigilantly.Duan Hongchen looked at the enemy who had refused to attack for a long time, and couldn't help feeling puzzled.He didn't know that in the enemy's barracks in the distance, several leaders had already quarreled among themselves:

"Hmph, I just said that those Goguryeo Xi people are not good things. They have collected all the money, and they haven't seen them yet!" A leader drew out a knife and hacked randomly to vent his anger.Another older said, "I think they're coming soon?"

The third person looked impatient: "Come on, come on, how many times have you said it, we didn't see it, and the scouts we sent couldn't find it?"

The elder leader sighed: "Oh, the money has been given away, what can we do now?"

"Confused, I have already said, don't ask foreigners for help..."

"If you don't look for them, how can you win?"

"That little bastard, who came out of nowhere, will make a sneak attack. Will I be afraid of him if I confront him head-on?"

"For now, we have to wait..."

"What are you waiting for? If you want to come, you will come earlier. If you don't come now, why don't you go in now!"

"Well...it's okay if we win a big victory, but what if the Goguryeo people come when both sides are hurting, what should we do if both sides rob?"

The coalition forces didn't see reinforcements here, and they couldn't get in. They were afraid that the oriole would be behind, and the so-called trousers were all taken off, so you just show me this?They didn't even want to retreat... After struggling for a while, one of the soldiers couldn't bear it anymore, and cursed: "You are afraid, watch me lead 2000 people to attack this Niwan City!" After finishing speaking, he quoted the headquarters The soldiers and horses set up their positions and went to attack the city.The remaining two leaders looked at each other, and they both saw the deep meaning in each other's eyes, that is, "It's better to let that kid explore the way and go through the thunder."After discussing with each other, the two went back to their respective camps. After all, they still belonged to one country.

Said that the one who went out first attracted two thousand soldiers and attacked Duan Hongchen, which is the "Niwan City" in his words.If you don't attack, you don't know, this mudball-like city actually has three heads and six arms.One mile near the city, that is, 500 meters, someone was injured by a hidden weapon.A little closer, there are pits to stab the enemy. The biggest function of these pits is not to make people fall and stab to death, but to make the attackers scattered.As soon as the formation dispersed, the shield wall was broken, and when it entered the range of the bow and arrow, it was like losing a layer of armor.

However, although the leader was eager, he was not reckless. After leaving a dozen lives behind, he retreated decisively and did not even enter within 100 meters of the Red Dust City.

But after he returned to the camp, he received another invitation from the other two military leaders asking him to attend a meeting.This is not easy, because they belong to different small countries, even if they march together, they rarely meet a few times.We just met once, why come again?Are you mocking me with the battle just now?

Although he was puzzled in his heart, he still came to the meeting place.When passing by other camps, I found that they were deploying troops. After a little inquiry, I found out that except for the 2000 people in his hands, the remaining 3000 people were divided into two, and they were placed around Duan Hongchen City in a surrounded manner. .He thought about it and was amazed at the move.

Surrounding but not fighting can not only weaken the enemy's strength, but also not weaken one's own strength because of too much fighting, preventing the Koreans and Xi people from being behind.Moreover, the separation of the three-person army can reduce the friction between the three small countries, and can form horns with each other, and can respond to and support each other.He strode forward, thinking that the discussion this time must be about the details of the siege.

But as soon as he stepped into the military tent where he was meeting, the vigilance he had experienced in the battlefield told him that there was great danger!Scenes flew through his mind, and the scene was frozen at the moment before he entered the door.Yes, those guards, those guards are different from before!
But he couldn't bear to think clearly that the guards hadn't been replaced. A sharp dagger was put on his neck, and then he was knocked unconscious with a palm strike...

The dark night is boundless, the river world!
When the first leader led his troops into battle and everyone's attention was drawn, Dark River took action.They had been lurking in the barracks long before.At this time, the "beheading operation" Xu Qingjiao gave them happened to be carried out.

Control the two chiefs, and either threaten them, or use their hands to order their troops to move away from this place, inadvertently making a "three-sided siege" action.Then, find a way to trick the third leader and capture him!
At Duan Hongchen, soldiers and civilians all over the city rejoiced for the "first battle victory". Only Duan Hongchen and Xu Qi knew that this was just the enemy's detection of temperature.Of course, they didn't know at this time that the dark river had already controlled the minds of the enemy troops.

In fact, Duan Hongchen also has more than a dozen members of the dark river in his hands.In the battles that destroyed two small countries in the past, they also played a lot of roles, such as burning food, spies, and one against ten. The only thing they didn't do was beheading.

As for the leader, there must be elite soldiers guarding him, almost everyone thinks so.Duan Hongchen thought so, so Anhe didn't behead him.The leaders of the coalition forces themselves also thought that no one would dare to do anything to him, but because of this, those leaders were surrounded by flattering cronies, and there were fewer people who could do it with real swords and guns...

After half a day, the troops stationed in various divisions had just set up camp, and immediately received an order-to attack immediately!There is another sentence in the order: just attack, there are internal responses in the city.

Duan Hongchen became more and more confused. He was startled when the enemy started to besiege the city, because he was prepared to deal with the enemy with the attitude of fighting to the death. These days, he only paid attention to the city defense. What about food? I don't care at all.He didn't think of checking the reserves until the enemy turned a strong attack into a siege. This check surprised him. There were only less than ten days of food and grass left.If the rations of the people in the eight cities were robbed, it would only be a month, and Xu Qi might not agree... such a situation put him under a lot of pressure.

But now, within half a day, the enemy army has begun to attack, and they are attacking from three sides at the same time.There is a saying that a siege must be quelled. Could it be that the enemy has set up an ambush on the remaining side?No wonder Anhe didn't find any trace of the Goguryeo people, so it turns out...

Duan Hongchen divided the 3000 people in the city into three and sent them to guard the city walls in three directions.

At 500 meters, there are hidden weapons to kill, and at 300 meters, pits disrupt the formation. When the formation is disordered, the Allied Forces of the Three Small Nations did not hear that there should be the sound of gold and drums.

All the Mohe soldiers rushed up with their heads buried. When they entered 150 meters, bows and arrows shot over. The formation was chaotic, and the shield wall was also chaotic. At this time, there were still no gold and drums to adjust the formation.Continue to rush, 100 meters, arrows rain down, 20 meters, stones and logs, ten meters, the attackers set up stairs to attack the city, and pots of boiling hot oil and boiling water poured down on the city walls.At this time, the three city walls have become a hell on earth, a field of Shura, and human life is as cheap as ants.

Sun Tzu said: "Ten will encircle, five will attack, double will fight, enemy will be able to divide, few will be able to defend, and less will be able to avoid them."

The number of coalition forces is only twice that of Duan Hongchen, which is regarded as combat strength, but it is evenly matched. Now that the troops are divided and they are attacking the city, of course they cannot defeat Duan Hongchen.

After attacking for a while, the planned "internal response" did not appear. The mid-level generals in the allied forces knew about the anomaly, and immediately withdrew their troops. More than 800 allied troops were killed on the edge of the city. The casualties in the city were relatively small, and there were hundreds of casualties.

Those mid-level generals rushed to the "headquarters" angrily, wanting to ask for an explanation, but when they entered the central tent, they found that the heads of the three leaders who led the troops were both cut off.

The leader was assassinated, the dragons had no leader, and the battle was defeated. The coalition forces were in danger, almost chaotic, relying on a few prestigious mid-level generals to temporarily maintain the situation.

Another big victory, the morale in the city was high, Duan Hongchen sent all the members of the dark river out to spy on the military situation, and finally got an answer that he couldn't believe.That is the accidental death of all the enemy leaders...

At this moment, in the enemy barracks not far outside the city, the shouts of killing were loud!
