Chapter 20: Taking the City in the Middle

Summer rain!

The beginning of summer just passed, and the summer rain also followed.

Summer rain and spring rain are two completely different concepts. Spring rain carries the frozen frost that has not ended in winter, and the ice is soaked in bones. The summer rain is passionate and unrestrained and exciting.

The summer thunder roars and the summer rain pours!

The raindrops as big as beans fell from the sky, and followed by the strong wind...

The wind blew the wet flags and the sound of thundering sounds from the rain tent was like a drum.

Li Daozong stood at the tent gate, looking at the gray sky, thinking about how to tempt Yuansong to go out of the city to fight, suddenly he heard the soldiers in the camp shouting loudly: "There is water in, the water in!"

It turned out that the new city was built on the hills and was built with the dangers of the mountains. The Tang army's military camp could only be stationed at the foot of the mountain. The summer rain suddenly came, and the rain was particularly terrifying.

This camp established a village and set fire. As a famous general, Li Daozong had already been prepared for it and chose a flat ground that was not easy to accumulate water. However, he was not familiar with the terrain and did not notice a stream on the mountainside. The heavy rain caused the stream to wash away the embankment, and then poured into the military camp from the bottom, causing water to enter the military camp.

The military camp that entered the water obviously could not stay for a long time. Taking advantage of the situation, Li Daozong hurriedly ordered people to transfer the camp.

Looking at the busy army facing the wind and rain, stepping on the muddy road, Li Daozong couldn't help but mutter: "It's really a place where dogs don't shit and birds don't lay eggs."

He looked at the topographic map in his hand, thinking about what better place to shelter from nearby rain. His eyes fell on a hill a mile away, and inexplicably happy eyes showed.

The Tang army led the camp again!

This is a high-rise and far-sighted city. As a mountain city, the new city has a unique factor in its vision. Yuansong stood on the city wall and could see the movements of the entire military camp of the Tang army. Although the heavy rain hindered the sight and could not see the details clearly, the huge army formation that moved together could still be seen clearly.

"Are they going to the abandoned town?"

An inexplicable meaning flashed in Yuansong's eyes. As its name suggests, an abandoned town is an abandoned town.

Before the construction of the new city, the abandoned town was originally called Pingzhen, because of the need for defense. Yuan Binzhi built a new mountain city on the unnamed mountainside northeast of Pingzhen and named it the new city, which moved all the people of Pingzhen. Pingzhen was demolished and abandoned, becoming an abandoned town.

Nawu Town is located in the middle of the hills, which can indeed avoid flooding, but because it was originally a village and town, it was surrounded by flat and there was no danger to guard.

The Tang army moved to the Yicheng Town just to avoid water, and it was impossible to mobilize troops to build defensive facilities in the Yicheng Town: After all, the Yicheng Town is a little far away from the Xincheng, and the main purpose of the Tang army was to attack the Xincheng, not to look at each other affectionately with the Xincheng from afar.

The fighter plane seems to have appeared!

Yuan Song looked at the heavy rain that had not stopped and said, "God helps me!"

This time Yuan Song did not hesitate. He had read military books since childhood and knew that the opportunity was not easy to obtain, and that it was impossible to lose, and that it would never come again. Being able to grasp the opportunity was a truly excellent general: it was because he cared about too much before that, so he asked Huxianggu to pick the fruits of victory before him.

He suffered a loss once, but he won’t do this time!

The Tang army moved the abandoned town to avoid water. When the showers pass and the waterlogging situation is solved, they will definitely be back at the city. The opponent has built siege equipment that has been built for more than ten days, and it will not take long to attack the new city. By then, the offense and defense will be out of place, and the fighter will be even more difficult to control.

Thinking of this, Yuansong summoned his generals and began to formulate a military plan to attack the abolition town at night.

It was raining heavily. Luo Shixin was trapped in the military tent and had nothing to do, so he could only think about the map how to capture Jian'an City.

Jian'an City was built with a cliff, with an extremely dangerous terrain. There were mature and steady generals like Huxianggu. Even a famous general like Su Dingfang was unable to do anything for a while, and gave Luo Shixin a suggestion to attack.

Luo Shixin did not agree that siege was the way for the subordinates. This is the worst way to attack the city without siege. If you can attack a strong city, you will only choose the worst way to attack a strong city when you have to.

"grown ups!"

When Luo Shixin was in deep thought, he suddenly heard Hou Jie's voice.

Luo Shixin was shocked and said, "Come in!"

Looking at Hou Jie who was soaked all over, Luo Shixin sighed, "I'm lucky to be miserable!" As he said that, he urged him to change his clothes that he had been dry for life before speaking, and then asked the guards to prepare ginger soup for Hou Jie.

Although it is a dull summer, the climate here in the Northeast is sometimes cold and sometimes hot, especially at night, which makes it easy to catch a cold. Some soldiers in the army have become ill due to the discomfort of the environment and are now being treated by imperial doctors.

The conditions that Luo Shixin and Li Shimin discussed also included a medical team with excellent medical skills to deal with the situation where soldiers became sick due to disagreement.

Hou Jie originally wanted to say that he was taking care of himself, but was forced to arrange by Luo Shixin. He was moved and honestly changed his clothes.

Hou Jie came to the big tent again, and Luo Shixin first asked him to pour a bowl of ginger soup, and then he asked him to report and ask him about his inquiries.

"How is it? Can you climb on the other side of the cliff? Can you send the surprise troops directly from the cliff?"

Jiang Tang activates blood circulation and has a miraculous effect of expelling cold. After a big bowl, Hou Jie's face turned rosy and shook his head and said, "My lord's idea doesn't work. I have tried it myself. The cliff south of Jian'an City can indeed send soldiers up, but there are many soldiers guarding the cliff. If our soldiers climb halfway, they will find that they have no way to hide on the cliff, and they will become targets and shoot to death. There are not many footholds to climb, and only one hundred archers are enough to prevent anyone from climbing the cliff."

"This..." Luo Shixin was a little stunned. When he went deep into Goguryeo, he had passed by Jian'an City. The south side of Jian'an City was a cliff, and the turbulent sea below. There was no way out there. There was no enemy. Why were there still troops stationed?

Hou Jie smiled bitterly and said, "I think I'm going to go with Goguryeo and the others. When I was climbing the cliff, I found traces of climbing people in many places, especially in the obvious place where I settled, and there were signs of iron chain friction on some stones with moss."

"No wonder!" Luo Shixin suddenly realized and had an answer. The question that Su Dingfang had been thinking about these days. Although it was an agreed victory for the showdown, Su Dingfang was not careless. He had been carefully exploring the other party's movements. As a result, nothing was found. Huxianggu appeared in their rear and attacked their camp where the siege equipment was stored. If Su Dingfang had not greatly reduced the loss of siege equipment due to the speed of the attack, they would have suffered even greater losses.

Now I heard that they actually came out of the cliff and fought...

Luo Shixin pondered for a moment and immediately called his confidant to inform Li Daozong not to kill Yuan Song, and could drive Yuan Song towards Jian'an City. At the same time, he also asked Su Dingfang to stare at the cliff of Jian'an City. If he found troops supporting Yuan Song, he would immediately trap Jian'an City to death and attack.

With the issuance of Luo Shixin's order, Li Daozong had already fought with Yuan Song.

On the surface, he was trapped, but actually arranged for the troops to ask the king to get into the trap. He secretly sent soldiers to surround Yuansong. At the same time, he divided a wave of troops and horses to quietly cover the city at the rainy night in Xincheng.

Ten thousand hooves were thundering at the same time, roaring and yelling to the sky, and shouting and killing filled the tragic atmosphere of the entire battlefield, the Tang army and the Goguryeo assault troops led by Yuansong stood in one place.

Yuan Song had only 5,000 soldiers, and in terms of strength, they were far inferior to Li Daozong's 15,000 soldiers. However, Jiang was old and was not old. Li Daozong was not old, but he had been through the battle formation for a long time, and he was not comparable to Yuan Song, a very wise but inexperienced boy. He asked you to get into the trap with one move and threw him into a desperate situation of ambushing him.

Li Daozong trapped Yuan Song and even had the energy to distribute 4,000 troops to counterattack Xincheng.

The rain hit Li Daozong's armor and made a series of sounds. Looking at Yuan Song, who was like a turtle in a jar, gave the order to attack three times.

The Tang army's attacker, Bulio Town, had a neat formation, like an organic living body. When they saw the enemy huddled in panic, everyone was full of fighting spirit and striding towards the enemy.

Li Daozong danced with a spear and galloped to the front of the formation and laughed: "Children from Goguryeo, if I don't kill you, I will not leave you, and I will be reversing my name in the future..." Without any hesitation, he leaped over to the Goguryeo military formation and rushed towards Goguryeo without any hesitation.

Although Li Daozong was a royal relative, at this time when he was still martial, the generals of the Tang Dynasty, except for Li Jing and Liu Rengui, who were really brave, stood behind and commanded, and almost no one was huddled behind.

Not to mention such a small formation, even if the generals are few, Li Daozong still has the courage to enter the enemy formation and disrupt the enemy formation.

The morale of one side is like a rainbow, and it is the time to destroy the enemy in one go. If time is delayed, it will only weaken the momentum. Li Daozong personally led his troops to attack, which just pushed his morale to the extreme, and he deeply integrated the Great Way of Military Art.

These little details are the key to winning the battlefield.

The Tang army was as brave as a tiger, rushed forward and attacked Yuan Song from three sides, defeated him step by step.

Under the strong pressure, Yuan Song, who was trapped, had almost no strength to fight back. Even though he was reluctant, he still retreated to Jian'an City.

Until ten miles from Jian'an City, there was no news of Jian'an's support. Yuan Song was injured in many places on his body and blood was flowing.

Xincheng had no precautions against the Tang army's night attack. Whether there were generals to guard the city, Yuansong took away the elite soldiers. Most of the remaining were newly recruited new recruits. They were timid and had to hold on until dawn the next day, and the Tang army was captured.

In this battle, Yuansong was killed in battle, Xincheng fell, and Huxianggu watched Yuansong die in battle without support...

"It's true as stable as a rock!"

Luo Shixin looked at the battle report and had to secretly praise himself, and at the same time he felt a headache.

At this moment, he received new news from Zuo Tiancheng: 35,000 reinforcements from Goguryeo had already crossed Anshi City and were in the process of reinforcement for Jian'an.

Luo Shixin's eyes showed a fighting spirit and said with a smile: "Finally come!" (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
