Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Two: Should I Praise or Curse?
"General, please let them come in quickly. If we really watch them die under the city, we..." The defenders on the top of the city couldn't bear to say.
The guard contempts, "The situation in Liaodong City is now critical. Although these people are defeated, there is nothing wrong with it. If something happens when something happens when it is put in? Let's wait until the general makes a decision."
"What? Do you suspect they are spies?"
"This is hard to say, but I have to be careful!"
There was a crying cry from below the city wall, and the defenders above couldn't help feeling resentful. Perhaps everyone would have a desperate day in the future.
"Oh General, look below. There are only one thousand people coming to the city. Our army of 60,000 people dare to come in to make trouble, what can a thousand people come to the city do? They were killed by us in an instant." Someone next to him said.
"Yes, general, but look, they are unarmed and ragged, who are they not the desperate person? If you don't save them, who will dare to follow you in the future?" Another person persuaded.
"The chanting of the pursuers is getting closer and closer. If the two sides fight together later, even if we want to save them, we will have no chance."
The guard finally shook, clenched his fists and said, "Okay! Okay, immediately put down the suspension bridge and open the door to pick up the people. Once the brothers under the city cross the moat, they will immediately pull up the suspension bridge and must not let the pursuers follow in."
After a military order, a very large suspension bridge was put down, and the city gate was also covered with a false opening, opening a gap of not too big or too small.
Cheng Chumo and others squeezed over to the suspension bridge, but they were blocked at the city gate because the gap between the city gate was too small and they were hugged.
"Please, brothers inside, make the gap bigger. There are too many people. Such a gap is only enough for two people at a time. When will it go? The pursuers will come soon. If you are trapped in the crack in the door, it is better to go back and fight with the other party." Cheng Chumo once again developed his acting skills.
The person inside explained: "Brother, you just need to just open the city gate at one time. If you open it all, it will be very laborious. It will not be easy to close it again. Don't say it, you have a good place for you. Come in quickly."
Come in? Cheng Chu smiled secretly. Halfway through things, how could I get in so easily?
He saw him urging his men to escape from the city gate, and gestured to line up and avoid being confused. In fact, he was dragging people who had not crossed the suspension bridge.
At this moment, the pursuer who had been hearing the sound of killing and was missing finally appeared. From a distance, he could see a black torrent, like a sharp arrow, heading straight towards Liaodong City.
The general defending the city panicked, "Is it a fast horse cavalry?"
Hurry up, put away the suspension bridge and close the city gate quickly, and don’t let the enemy bite it!”
But can we still be closed? Cheng Chumo and a group of people did not fight with the soldiers at the city gate, but hugged the soldiers guarding the city one by one, crying and waiting. The brothers behind us had not come yet, so we couldn't watch them die outside.
Some people are also desperately pulling the suspension bridge ropes to prevent the suspension bridge from being pulled up. The method is still the same, it is just a miserable thing.
The general guarding the city had all come down, and he thought to himself that he would not let these people enter the city if he had known it. We kindly save you. Are you going to kill the whole city?
At this moment, General Yizhi Wende hurried to the top of the city, "What's wrong? Hum? Why did the enemy troops all come to the city?
How did you guard the gate and why did you put down the suspension bridge?”
The guard general explained clearly in three or two sentences. Yizhi Wende narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the person below.
"Hmm? No, you idiot, you have fallen into the trap!
They were not defeated soldiers, but were pretended by the enemy, and immediately ordered to kill all the defeated soldiers at the city gate!"
The guard was shocked, "What? General, I asked them all about the situation, it's not like a fake... Why?"
He thought to himself, could it be that the general saw that the situation was urgent and wanted to use this method to solve the problem? Did he survive by cutting off his tail?
Eji Wende didn't expect that his subordinates were still hesitating and cursed: "Idiots, look at them, pretending to be tired, how could they be a little bit depressed to be chased for two days? If you don't eat or drink and be chased for two days, do you still have the strength to call the door here?
You are not scared to death when you see the pursuers, and you still enter the city at such a speed? What are they doing? Are you a pig's brain? Can't you tell me?"
“Yes, my subordinates are dereliction of duty!
Hurry up, the city gate guards will kill these thieves immediately!" the guard shouted.
When Cheng Chumo saw that the other party had made a desperate move, he stopped hesitating, and directly snatched the knife that was holding the man, and took the lead in rushing into the city gate.
Other soldiers who pretended to behave followed suit and quickly grabbed the weapons and occupied the entire city gate. The gate was slowly opened. Some people directly destroyed the ropes of the suspension bridge with their knives. A road leading to the city was opened by more than a thousand people with their lives.
Immediately afterwards, the fast horse cavalry rushed straight into the city and launched a crazy killing.
The general who guarded the city gate sat on the ground and cried, "It's over. Today, the city is broken. The last general will be punished for death! General, I'm sorry to you, let's take a step first!"
When Yizhi Wende looked at him again, the man had already wiped his neck and died, which made the general stomped his feet.
"Damn it, are you in such a hurry to reincarnate?
The soldiers obeyed the orders. I observed that the enemy had less than 20,000 troops. The 60,000 troops in my city were afraid of these 20,000 fish. I followed me to surround and kill these thieves. The Liaodong city is safe!"
Yizhi Wende's power was shocked, and he really woke up the panicked city guards. Then there were shouts of killing and the two sides fought together.
Twenty thousand people want to break the city and kill 60,000 people? Is this possible?
If there is, it can only be said that the city was attacked and the camp was bombed. When fighting against the Eastern Turks, Li Jing attacked Jie Li at night with three thousand soldiers. He used this trick to kill Jie Li and fled to death.
But Li Jing did not call the gate under the city, but completely attacked and attacked, which made the whole city think that the city was broken and there were enemies on all sides, which was different from Cheng Chumo's situation today.
By the way, Cheng Chumo didn't know that this was hitting a stone with an egg? Of course not, and he didn't expect to take all the credit. Although this guy is not as sarcastic as his father, he is not stupid.
After more than 10,000 cavalrymen entered the city, Cheng Chumo turned over and led his men to the west gate of Liaodong City. He wanted to break through the west gate of Liaodong City and welcome Li Ji's army outside the gate. Only by letting the 50,000 troops enter the city for help can he really be able to conquer Liaodong City in one battle.
At first, his deputy generals disagreed because the top leaders of the army knew that this time, General Li Ji did not participate in the direct battle, so he went to ask him for help. What if he didn't accept it?
Cheng Chumo kicked his subordinates and scolded him, "That's my uncle. If he has a relationship with my father, he will not be able to save him when he burns yellow paper and kowtows to his sons."
"No, they want to break through Ximen and cooperate with the Tang army outside, and stop it quickly!" Yizhi Wende saw the other party's intention and ordered loudly.
In the Liaodong city, more than 10,000 cavalry could not be spread out, and many of them went down to fight in the streets, fighting fiercely. The Goguryeo soldiers responded in a hurry and were a little passive. The Tang army used new weapons and equipment, and the morale was strong, so they had the upper hand for a while.
Cheng Chumo ignored everything else and personally led more than a thousand cavalry to attack, rushing directly to the west gate of Liaodong City. He was not blocked by the refusal at the city gate before he turned over and dismounted to start a footwork.
A series of rapid attacks, Yizhi Wende could not catch up with him. When he saw the fire at the west gate, he was stunned. The knife in his hand fell to the ground and murmured, it's over!
Cheng Chumo and others spent a quarter of an hour fighting, and finally opened the west gate and lowered the suspension bridge.
"Preserve the gate for half an hour, and I'll go report the news and ask for help!"
After saying that, he rushed out alone and headed straight for the Tang army camp where the lights were gradually rising in the distance.
"Brothers of the Tang Dynasty, I am Cheng Chumo. Come with me and go into Liaodong City. I have broken through their city gate!" Cheng Chumo began to shout from afar.
On this quiet night, his horse's hooves were almost the same as his shouts. The Tang Dynasty was sleeping in Ansheng, but heard movements in Liaodong City not far away, so they were gradually mobilized.
The answer to Cheng Chumo was to shoot a bow and arrow, "The person who came stopped, and then approached the camp and shot him to death!"
This is my...
Cheng Chumo wanted to curse himself, but he had no choice but to join the army, so he certainly understood the rules of the camp.
"Dear brothers, please inform Marshal Li that we have used a trick to trick the west gate of Liaodong City. Please send troops to break through Liaodong City quickly!"
What? He cheated the Liaodong city gate?
"Stop kidding, it's up to you? The hair is not growing, so I'm just swearing!
The Liaodong City guardian Yizhi Wende was an old fox who had been in charge of many years. He used the iron barrel run by Liaodong City. We had been in charge of soldiers for many days, but the west gate had not even opened a crack. Why did you say that you would fool the city gate?
Get out of here, don't disturb you." The soldiers guarding the camp did not believe it.
The person next to him said, "Gaozheng, this person is not a spy sent by the enemy to explore the camp, right? He is a spy who can be captured."
"Spy? You reminded me, right. At this time, I came alone and dressed like a beggar. Isn't it just a spy who wants to get in?
Brothers, I captured him alive. If I dare to resist or run away, I will shoot him to death!”
Cheng Chumo was so angry that he almost fell off the horse's back, thinking to himself who is this person, will he join the army?
But if you complain, you have to find a way to get out of the news. Your own troops in Liaodong City can't stand it for long.
"You idiots will be Cheng Chumo, one of the twelve generals of Goguryeo. He is absolutely true, not a spy.
Now I am urgently reporting to Mr. Li for help. If you report it to Mr. Li, you will know that if the military situation in the city is delayed, none of you will escape the blame!”
Not to mention, this scolding really shocked the group of soldiers guarding the camp, looking at each other one by one, and the situation was in a stalemate.
A soldier whispered: "There is indeed a strange movement in Liaodong City tonight. I heard the sound of killing inside. Everyone was awakened by the movement. I can't guarantee that what he said was true."
The pair nodded, but out of caution, he did not dare to put people in, and immediately let someone watch over the other party and quickly report to Shangguan.
Li Ji was worried that he didn't know what happened in Liaodong City. When he heard someone coming to report that Cheng Chumo was coming, he immediately sent his deputy general to check it out. The deputy general recognized Cheng Chumo.
In the central army tent, seeing Cheng Chumo in rags, Li Ji frowned and said, "Dalang, why do you look like this? Could it be that you escaped after a defeat?"
Cheng Chumo was stunned for a moment, looked down at himself, slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, Uncle Shi, don't worry about my nephew's appearance for now. Come with me quickly. Let's go into Liaodong City. I will take their gate down."
"What are you panic? Hum? What did you say? You took the Liaodong city gate? How is this possible? Yizhi Wende guarded like an iron barrel. I have observed that it will take more than a month to fill it with human lives..."
Before Li Ji finished speaking, Cheng Chumo rushed to say, "My nephew had previously ambushed Liaodong City to rescue 20,000 people from Wugu City, then changed into their clothes, tricked them into the east gate while nightfall, and took more than 10,000 brothers into killing them, and rushed through the east gate of Liaodong City. Isn't it just waiting for Uncle Shi to send troops, and we will take the Liaodong City together with both inside and outside."
After hearing this, Li Ji laughed, "Good boy, you are much better than your father who is good at fighting a fool. You know how to use a trick, it's great!"
Cheng Chumo stepped forward and grabbed Li Ji's sleeve and urged: "Uncle Shi will praise me again later. I only have more than a thousand brothers to guard the east gate. I can't hold on for too long. If we don't send troops to support me, my more than 10,000 people in Liaodong City may not be able to withstand the counterattack of their 60,000 people.
My nephew is asking for help from Uncle Shi!”
"Hey, you guy, why are you so dangerous?
How dare you touch the Liaodong City if you enter the city and cannot open the west gate? Wouldn't you ever think about it? Wouldn't you break it into it?
Moreover, Your Majesty’s order is not absolutely necessary. Our army of our own people cannot be used. It is difficult to explain to the court when he is killed or injured. Haven’t you ever thought about what if I can’t send troops?" Li Ji scolded.
"Hehe, don't you know that Uncle Shi will not save you when he sees death. You can help you. I'm really not for military merit. I just want to bite this hard bone. I can't stop eating the meat from my mouth, right?" Cheng Chumo changed into a flattering face.
Li Ji smiled helplessly and whispered at Cheng Chumo and scolded: "You can take my personal guards to support you first, and I will set out in a quarter of an hour.
You guys will cause me trouble."
When the Tang army rushed into Liaodong City from the west gate with great momentum, even if the battle of sneak attacking Liaodong City had a result, the western gate of Goguryeo no longer existed.
General Yizhi Wende was defeated and captured, and Li Ji took Cheng Chumo to see him.
The other party looked dead and looked bored and looked up and asked, "Can you tell me who planned this battle?"
Cheng Chumo stood up proudly and smiled: "It's not someone else, it's just my uncle Cheng Chumo."
"Dalang, General Yizhi Wende is an old senior, so you must not be rude!" Li Ji scolded.
Chapter completed!
