Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 374 Guiduan City

On the border between Datang and Goguryeo, in the camp of the Tang Army, Xue Rengui was discussing the offensive with Cheng Mingzhen who had retreated from the peninsula battlefield.

The Goguryeo and Baekje armies stormed Silla. Izumi Nanjian still left a large number of soldiers and horses in Goguryeo, and even the main force left two, in order to prevent the Tang army from breaking through and breaking through Goguryeo before he took Silla.

It was his younger brother Quan Nanchan who was in charge of Koguryo. As for the king of Koguryo, he was just a puppet in their hands, and their brothers didn't take him seriously.

"Guiduancheng in Goguryeo is the closest to our army. If we attack thousands of miles, we can reach the city of Duancheng in one day's journey."

"After taking this city, our army can continue to follow this route and go all the way to capture the surrounding cities." Xue Rengui pointed to the contour map and said.

"General Xue's method is good! There is only one thing, if the Goguryeo defenders can't survive, what should we do?"

"In order for Goguryeo to be able to hold back our powerful army from the Tang Dynasty, Izumi gave an order not to allow the defenders to leave the city at will."

"As long as Goguryeo defends the city, as long as we can't take Goguryeo in a short time and go to rescue Silla, then our expedition will lose its meaning." Cheng Mingzhen said.

"Cheng Duhu don't have to worry! I have my own way to lure them out of the city and wipe them all out. This time we will not only rescue Silla, but also penetrate Goguryeo and launch an attack on Baekje."

"This time His Majesty ordered me to come here just to eliminate Baekje. Liu Rengui, Liu Renyuan and other generals will also come to aid by land and water."

"As long as we can eliminate Baekje, we can not only reduce the pressure on Silla, but also weaken the strength of the Goguryeo coalition forces. More importantly, we can also leave an army in the hinterland of Baekje."

"Attacking Goguryeo at any time will make Goguryeo exhausted. At that time, we will be able to unite with Silla to destroy Goguryeo in one fell swoop." Xue Rengui said.

"Then what are you going to do?" Cheng Mingzhen asked.

"Luring the enemy out of the city, we will destroy them." Xue Rengui said.

"How are you going to lure them out?" Cheng Mingzhen asked.

He really wanted to know what kind of method Xue Rengui would use to lure the enemy troops out of the city.

"I will bring a small number of soldiers and horses. The enemy will leave the city when they see it. Once the enemy leaves the city, Cheng Duhu will immediately lead the army to kill the enemy." Xue Rengui said.

"I'm afraid this won't work! Before, I used this method to lure the enemy out of the city, and then wiped them out. Now that I want to use this method to lure the enemy, the enemy will not come out." Cheng Mingzhen said.

When he led troops to fight Goguryeo before, he used this method many times to fight the Goguryeo army.

Later, the Goguryeo army also learned to be good!No matter how Cheng Mingzhen used this method to lure the enemy, the opponent just wouldn't come out.

Such moves have no effect on them!
"Cheng Duhu only needs to lead troops to destroy the enemy when the time comes! I have my own way to get them out for other things, Cheng Duhu just needs to do as I say!" Xue Rengui said.

"Okay! Since you have a solution, I won't say more! I don't know what you want me to do?" Cheng Mingzhen said.

"Cheng Duhu is here!" Xue Rengui said.

Cheng Mingzhen moved his ear closer, and Xue Rengui whispered his plan in his ear.

Everyone has been on the battlefield, and they are no strangers to Goguryeo. They have fought against Goguryeo many times, so they know the basics.

Since Xue Rengui is so confident that he can lure the enemy out, Cheng Mingzhen naturally waits and sees, he really wants to know what Xue Rengui will do.

"Then I'll lead someone to go ahead and leave everything to Cheng Duhu!" Xue Rengui clasped his fists and said.

"Okay! I'll be there later, take care all the way!" Cheng Mingzhen clasped his fists and said, although Cheng Mingzhen did not agree with Xue Rengui's approach, he appreciated his courage very much.

The two parted ways, Xue Rengui set off with two thousand cavalry, and rushed to Guiduan City for thousands of miles, Cheng Mingzhen also started to set off afterward.

After a day and a night of raiding, Xue Rengui finally arrived at the base of Guiduan City. Looking up, according to intelligence, there are more than [-] defenders in this city.

"Send the order! Rest here!" Xue Rengui said.

When the order was issued by the general, everyone dismounted immediately and rested on the spot. Three or two people leaned together to rest, completely ignoring the defenders in the city.

When the Goguryeo army on the city saw it, they immediately reported the situation to their general.

"You can see clearly!" Guiduan city guard asked.

"Yes! I can see clearly! The other side only has [-] soldiers and horses. Now everyone is exhausted, and they are resting not far from our Guiduan City." Said the Goguryeo soldier.

"General! The enemy's troops are small and lacking in men and horses. It must be a long-distance attack. Now that we are out of the city, we must be able to wipe them all out." The lieutenant general said.

Having been beaten so badly by Tang Jun several times, now there is a Tang Jun who is alone, no matter what, he wants to regain the face he lost before.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once missed!There may not be such a good opportunity in the future!
"No! What if this is the opponent's trick? Tang Jun has always been mean and shameless! He has sent a partial division to lure us out of the city more than once, and then attack us, not once or twice!"

"Presumably you haven't forgotten these things. Maybe the other party just wants to repeat the old tricks and lure us out of the city. We must not be fooled. I have already seen through their plots."

The guard said disdainfully, and still wanted to use the same trick to deceive him, did he really think he was stupid?

"The general is right! The general is wise, and he is ashamed of his lowly position!" The lieutenant suddenly realized, and by the way, he did not forget to flatter the general.

"Go back and keep an eye on Tang Jun's movements. If there is any situation, report it immediately!" the guard ordered.

"Decree!" Goguryeo soldiers took the order and retreated.

"Send scouts quickly to scout around Guiduan City for hundreds of miles to see if there are any traces of the enemy!" said the guard.

Tang Jun had used this trick before, deliberately sending a small group of soldiers and horses forward, while the main army lay in ambush behind them.

Once the defenders go out of the city to attack the Tang army, the cavalry of the Tang army will come to reinforce them, dragging the defenders tightly, and then the Tang army will encircle the defenders and completely defeat the defenders.

That's why he sent scouts out to check if there was any movement of the enemy within a hundred miles. As long as there were no traces of the enemy within a hundred miles, it could prove that it was really a lone army.

"Obey!" The lieutenant saluted with fists in his hands, retreated, and immediately sent out all the scouts in the city to spy on the enemy.
