Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 179

It is said that Chu Jiang led [-] soldiers gathered improvised to move around the unnamed hill, sent people to spy on the situation of the troops surrounding the mountain, and stationed thirty miles away.Chu Jiang knew that the attack at this time was nothing more than killing these few people, which had little effect on the result.If you wait until the Goguryeo people attack the mountain, the surprise effect of the surprise attack will be several times that of the current one.

What's more, the Goguryeo people are now fighting among themselves.

The boss has been wary of the second child for a long time, and the second child has coveted the boss for a long time.In the last battle across the river, the soldiers and horses in the old second-hand team were beaten down to only a thousand soldiers. Now he felt that it was not fun, so he proposed to ask the boss Gao Chan to divide the troops for him.

How could Gao Chan agree?

He didn't have many soldiers in his hand. He brought 2 horses from the country, and after crossing the river, there were only less than [-] left.The boss asked the youngest to guard the grain road and the ferry, and only a large number of soldiers were left.Not to mention that the old second soldier rarely knows how to divide troops, even if the second son becomes a bare-bones commander, he will not divide troops to him.

Now the strength of the three brothers surrounding the nameless hill is: the eldest is [-], the second is [-], and the third is [-].

Gao Chan refused to give soldiers, and Gao Feng refused to give food.When he crossed the ferry for the first time, he was defeated and returned. When the news reached the capital, his mother whispered in Gao Yuan's ear, and let Gao Feng take charge of the food and grass of the whole army.Although the grain road is guarded by the youngest Gao Cong, the granary accompanying the army is managed by Gao Feng.If Gao Feng didn't give food, the whole army would have to starve.

No food, well, it’s just a granary for the army. When the food comes later, I can just withhold it?Gao Chan thought so.But when he went to talk to Gao Cong, he was turned away, and Gao Cong pretended to be sick and disappeared.

It seems that the second and third are united!Gao Chan was shocked, and consolingly distributed 1000 troops to Gao Feng to restore the army's food supply.The 1000 people who were sent out were not easy, they were all very supportive of Gao Chan, even though they were under Gao Feng's command, they would still obey Gao Chan as long as Gao Chan gave an order.

The internal strife was temporarily relieved, Gao Feng and Gao Cong each guarded one side, and Gao Chan guarded both sides.This time he vowed that he would never let Duan Hongchen go again, and would destroy him in one battle!

On a nameless hill, the night is dark and windy, and a figure flickers among the trees.This person, the officially besieged protagonist—Duan Hongchen.Duan Hongchen held a steel knife wrapped in black cloth, and wore an all-black night suit, walking through the jungle like walking on flat ground.

Ghostly!
After a while, Duan Hongchen jumped out of the encirclement of the Goguryeo people silently.Don't forget, Duan Hongchen is the person with the highest martial arts in the dark river!
Duan Hongchen reckoned that the reinforcements should be nearby, so he jumped out of the encirclement alone, for no other reason than to contact the reinforcements.

After running for twenty miles in one breath, Duan Hongchen quickly sent out a signal as soon as it was daylight - three beams of black smoke shot up into the sky from a primitive jungle.

People within ten miles around would definitely see this black smoke.Of course, the reinforcements will see it, as will the Goguryeo people.But now that they have run twenty miles away, the Goguryeo scouts wouldn't have penetrated that far, right?

Black smoke, Chu Jiang received it.Within three minutes of burning incense, his people found Duan Hongchen five miles away from the place where the black smoke was coming out.

Lead him to the secret place to meet:
"The King of Bohai..." Chu Jiang performed the military salute, but he was not attached to the minister's salute.

Duan Hongchen didn't care about it, and waved his hand: "General Chu, you are very polite. This time I came here in embarrassment, just to ask General Chu to help me." Chu Jiang is Xu Qing's general, Duan Hongchen can't command, he can only ask.

Chu Jiang said: "Well... the king of Bohai is my lord's brother. If the king of Bohai is in trouble, I will protect you well, but now that the king of Bohai is intact, I'm afraid..."

"General Chu, I don't regret my death, but there are more than [-] soldiers in my hands who have families, so I can't die here!" Duan Hongchen was a little excited.

"King Bohai, the lives of my subordinates are also lives!" Chu Jiang said righteously, and the soldiers he brought here still have a thousand Cangzhou soldiers.

"General Chu, I have a plan. I can take over the siege easily, and then we will join forces, and the Goguryeo people will not dare to move. By then, the people of Bohai will be well protected, and Bohai will be remembered by children and grandchildren." Alright..." Duan Hongchen spoke with sincerity, it was rare to see him beg for help in such a humble manner.Chu Jiang let out a long sigh, and a trace of slyness flashed in his eyes. He was trying to break the world of mortals just now.

"Since that's the case, the King of Bohai might as well tell my subordinates about the trick..."

"Tomorrow morning...Gao Feng..."

After Duan Hongchen said so and so, he sneaked back in the dark at night.Then, both Chu Jiang and Duan Hongchen prepared to be soldiers.

Duan Hongchen and Chu Jiang were talking about breaking out from one side tomorrow morning, and this side chose the weakest Gao Feng side.

In the early hours of the morning, all the sergeants paid their salaries with straw and paid their salaries. At the mouth of the horse, the sound of a horn was heard far away, and countless figures appeared.

In Gao Feng's sleep, he vaguely heard a bugle, and then there was a commotion all around, and he vaguely saw a torch flickering, and then someone said outside his tent: "This is the general's tent, I told you, don't Kill me don't kill me..."

"It's over, there is a night attack!" Gao Feng stood up, but found that the knife was not with him, and the armor was not with him, and now he wanted to take back the ridicule of those who were waiting for death.

When he was looking for the knife with bare feet, many soldiers rushed in outside the tent, hacking with knives and sealing the dead body.

When Duan Hongchen was attacking the Gaofeng camp, he felt something strange.That is, Gao Feng's camp was much easier than expected. If he knew in advance, he would definitely not go to Chu Jiang, but rushed out alone with his soldiers.

Chu Jiang also wondered, Duan Hongchen's strategy is too effective, it's easy to say, but it's really easy, it's like cutting wheat and it's gone.

When the two joined forces and were about to burn down the Gaofeng camp, a group of Goguryeo people rushed out of the mountain shouting.

There was an ambush, no wonder the camp was captured so easily.In order to avoid excessive casualties, prevent troops from retreating while fighting.

When retreating, I only felt that there were fewer and fewer pursuers. Could it be an ambush?

All the chasing soldiers gradually disappeared. It was already from early morning to morning. The soldiers were exhausted. Duan Hongchen and Chu Jiang together chose a place to station temporarily. When they were about to go everywhere, a large number of troops appeared under the sun. .

Looking around, they are all Goguryeo people!This is the real ambush...

Duan Hongchen's plan was estimated by Gao Chan.At this time, Gao Chan had already mobilized all the soldiers from the rear grain road and the ferry, and quietly withdrew the 1000 people Gao Feng had allocated earlier.In this way, Duan Hongchen and Chu Jiang felt that it was very easy to attack Gaofeng's camp.

The 1000 people who had been evacuated did not go far away, they lay in ambush around, and when Duan Hongchen captured the camp, they appeared in a bluff, playing the role of driving away their prey.Duan Hongchen walked all the way according to Gao Chan's plan...

There is another important reason why Gao Chan didn't choose to do it earlier, and that is to use Duan Hongchen's hand to kill Gao Feng.

"Damn it, I, Duan Hongchen, was tricked by such a brat!" For Duan Hongchen, not only did he not escape the siege this time, but he got himself into trouble, which can be described as a big loss.Killing Gao Yuan's son, who knows what exciting things the old man will do?
That's a long-term consideration, and it's out of my control now, what needs to be managed is the immediate urgent need.

In addition to the soldiers of Liangdao and the ferry, they snatched the soldiers of the third son Gao Cong, and Gao Chan had more than 1 troops in his hands.In the hands of Duan Hongchen and Chu Jiang, there were only 5000 people in total.One to two, and without the advantage of arms, Duan Hongchen's side will undoubtedly lose.

Gao Chan did not attack for a long time, and only sent people to check from a distance. Looking at the rising sun, he couldn't help but smile.

Let it dry, let it shine, it would be best if one or two die in the sun.

Duan Hongchen also realized that he chose this place to be stationed just to take a rest, because he chose it because of its good concealment, but he didn't consider the water source and other aspects.

Once the scorching sun was shining, there was no place to hide, and the soldiers were sweating profusely.After drinking a little bit of stored water, there is no water to replenish, the mouth is dry, and the morale is getting weaker and weaker!

Alas, what a wrong step, every step is difficult.

Suddenly Chu Jiang came over, took a bamboo tube and handed it to Duan Hongchen.Duan Hongchen shook his head, motioning himself not to drink, but Chu Jiang said: "Look at this water..."

Duan Hongchen looked into the bamboo tube, huh?Is this water drinkable?muddy water...

Indeed, the water in this bamboo tube is very turbid, and it is considered dirty even for laundry on weekdays.Duan Hongchen took a sip and found that the water was cool and cool, well water?
Where did the well come from? !

Duan Hongchen looked at Chu Jiang's soldiers, and found that although they were also sitting in disarray, as if they had lost a battle, they didn't look listless.There are tricks!

Looking carefully, I saw Chu Jiang's soldiers digging the soil quietly with a short shovel.The excavated soil was transported out quietly again, just in time to be blocked by the scattered people sitting there.

They are digging impromptu wells...

Duan Hongchen glanced at Chu Jiang excitedly, and complained again: "Good boy, you only bring it to me when you're full!"

After finishing speaking, Duan Hongchen didn't give Chu Jiang a chance to defend himself, and hurried to other soldiers to dig wells in the same way.

With the desire for water, everyone cooperated very well. With the efforts of two people, one person quickly dug a lot.

The wells dug were not deep, some had no water, and few had water, but they managed to allow most people to drink a sip.As time went by, the well slowly deepened, and the water slowly leached out.

If you won't be defeated by the weather, how can you resist [-] well-equipped and high-morale Goguryeos?

The garrison was in a hurry, there were almost no fortifications, and it all depended on people's efforts. Except for the slight advantage of crossbows, there were no other advantages.Moreover, on land, infantry can flexibly use shields to resist crossbow arrows. What is the use of crossbow arrows?

In the afternoon, the sun was a little weaker, but when people were exhausted, the Goguryeo people moved.Rows of infantry, holding high their thick shields, gathered together neatly!
Duan Hongchen quickly formed a circular formation, ready to face the battle of life and death!
The Goguryeo people approached step by step, Duan Hongchen seemed to be able to hear the Goguryeo people's laughter!

The air in the distance suddenly trembled:
"Dengdengdeng..."

"Ula Ula~"
