Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3009
However, since Cheng Yaojin's philosophy is "the golden mean", then he can't just suppress Wang Wendu blindly, and the opportunity that should be given will still be given.

He pointed to the mountain pass on the map and said: "This place is called Daque Valley, and it is the only way to go to Anshi City from south to north. Xue Wanche led the vanguard of the headquarters to set up an ambush here, and when the enemy came, he would take the initiative to attack! Wang Wendu led The first part assists and supports the enemy from the rear, gives the enemy a head-on blow, and waits for an opportunity to burn the enemy's food and supplies! The rest of the generals and the commander sit in the central army and make adjustments at any time according to changes in the battle situation."

Turning around, staring at the generals with scorching eyes, he said in a deep voice: "I remember it all, our task is to restrain and consume, and to attack Anshi City must wait until His Majesty leads the main army to come to join. Don’t blame Lao Tzu for engaging in military law if he acts on his own and causes unnecessary casualties!”

The DPRK and China are in a turmoil because of the competition for reserves, and the forces of all parties confront each other, and the struggle is immortal.This situation has already affected the military and government offices from the top of the court, not only the six government offices, but also the state capitals in various places have raised their flags to choose teams, and the factions in the army are also distinct, and each does not give in.

The same is true for Zuo Wuwei.

Cheng Yaojin can control the direction of Zuo Wuwei's progress, but he can't make everyone have one mind. After all, everyone has different backgrounds, and everyone has their own interests. No one can reconcile the competition for their own interests.

As long as it is still within a specified range, Cheng Yaojin doesn't intend to take care of it, and he can't do it.

However, if anyone sacrificed Zuo Wuwei's soldiers as a bargaining chip for power and profit for his own selfishness, he would never bear it!
All the generals hurriedly said: "I would like to obey the command of the commander-in-chief!"

Wang Wendu's heart trembled even more...

But he wasn't afraid.Cheng Yaojin is indeed the top martial artist, but now that he is getting older, he has long lost the vigor of the past. He has always been famous for his kindness in the court. He is backed by King Jin and the Wang family of Taiyuan, and he has the support of the Long nobles , what can he do to himself?

For example, now, Cheng Yaojin clearly has a prejudice against him, so why not let him lead the army forward and cooperate with Xue Wanche?This is sending meritorious deeds into his hands.

Besides, I am not disobeying the general's orders, but the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and many times I cannot blindly follow the commander's military orders. I need to take the initiative to adjust strategies according to the situation, making the tactics and strategies more flexible...

Xue Wanche was an honest person, and he didn't have those twists and turns in his heart. He looked at the map and said, "Commander, before you hit the Sparrow Valley, this area is as flat and wide as a trumpet's mouth. There is a river passing by on one side. The general thought he could wait for the Koguryo army." After leaving the valley, launch an attack with cavalry. At that time, the front army of the Goguryeo army has already left the valley entrance, and the rear army is still in the valley. It will be difficult to take the impact, and it will not be able to give full play to its superiority in strength. Evacuate."

The cavalry has the advantage of attacking. Once a charge is launched in flat areas, the infantry will only have to be slaughtered.However, the weakness of cavalry is that it is not good for melee combat. Once it rushes into the enemy's line and the momentum of the charge is offset, it is easy to fall into the enemy's siege. Lost all the way.

Therefore, another army is needed to support from the rear to help the cavalry get rid of the entanglement of the enemy's infantry, and be able to retreat calmly after killing the enemy.

Cheng Yaojin stroked his beard and praised: "Mr. Xue's plan is very clever! Let's do it like this. General Wang is responsible for covering up the kill from behind and assisting Mr. Xue's troops to escape from the enemy's entanglement. We must grasp the timing of the attack. If the enemy reacts and drags you back, you will suffer heavy losses. The key to this battle is to make quick decisions, and you must not be greedy for success!"

"promise!"

"promise!"

Xue Wanche and Wang Wendu responded in unison.

Xue Wanche has a high fighting spirit, since he entered Liaodong, he has been invincible all the way, and as a general, he naturally feels hearty.

Wang Wendu didn't show it on the face, but he was upset in his heart.

It's cover, assistance... Once or twice is okay, but it happens every time, who can bear it?Why can Xue Wanche take every battle first, and take his military exploits into his arms for nothing, while he has to cover and cut off the queen everywhere, and others will eat meat and I will drink soup?
Thinking that he represented the interests of King Jin's family, he thought that he could make some meritorious service by virtue of the Eastern Expedition, and then become King Jin's heel in the military. From then on, he won the favor of King Jin, and even the support of his family and Guan Long. The fire is burning.

It won't work if this continues, as the second in command of Zuo Wuwei, I can't make any merits at the moment, if I wait until His Majesty conquers Jian'an City and send my troops eastward to join them, wouldn't I have no chance under the shining stars?

He was so anxious that he scratched his head...

……

In the mountains to the south of Anshi City, a mighty army is coming from south to north.Liaodong is mountainous, with steep gullies between valleys. Even if there is a passable road, it is narrow and cramped, making it extremely difficult to walk.The army of tens of thousands of people struggled to walk among the mountains, and the team dragged into a long snake-like queue. The horses and carts fell down in front of the stones and potholes on the roadside from time to time. Morale was low and complaints abounded.

As the commander-in-chief, Gao Huizhen, Sasa Gao Huizhen in the southern part of Goguryeo, rode on a horse, and set up an arbor to look forward at the winding valley without bounds, and at the same time look back at the chaotic and slow-moving army. Waving the whip on the horse's back, he cursed loudly: "A bunch of trash! The Tang army has broken through the Liaohe defense line, and they will be able to reach the city of Anshi in a short time. I was ordered by Da Mo Lizhi to lead the army to rescue. If you miss Anshicheng, it is a crime of delaying the opportunity of the war! You have never heard of Da Molizhi, and I will have a hard time when the time comes, so I will skin you one or two, and all your family members will be slaves!"

Hearing these words, the generals around him were all silent, but they also knew that Gao Huizhen was definitely not alarmist.

At the beginning of the Tang army's attack, Gao Yanshou, Zaisa Gao Yanshou in the north, did not dare to take advantage of it. He led his soldiers to retreat all the way until Anshi City.However, Gao Yanshou was obviously frightened by the speed and combat power of the Tang army's turbulent advance. While stationing in Anshi City, he frantically asked for help from Pyongyang City. This is why he rushed to rescue Anshi City under Yuan Gai Suwen's order. action.

Anshi City is an important town in Eastern Liaodong. The terrain is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, once it falls, the Tang army can attack Mudi City and Domestic City in the east, and drive southward to reach Bobao City, Yalushui. Completely occupied, Goguryeo had to retreat to Pyongyang City.

And Yalushui is only a few hundred miles away from Pyongyang City. With the speed of the Tang Army's advance, it may take less than ten days and a half months to reach Pyongyang City...

Therefore, Anshi City is the focus of this battle. If the Tang army can be dragged here, when the autumn rainy season comes or even the severe winter falls, the Tang army will have to return to the court like the Sui army.

The battle of Anshicheng is almost a battle of whether Goguryeo can keep its national fortune. If it can't defend Anshicheng, it can only let the Tang army rampage and rush forward, and finally fight to the death under the city of Pyongyang!

Gao Huizhen saw the dignified faces of the generals around him, and knew that everyone knew the importance, and urged him again: "Everyone knows the importance of this battle, so we must not delay the marching speed! Pass the order, if Those who are afraid of difficulties will be whipped thirty times! Those who disturb the morale of the army will be killed on the spot!"

"promise!"

Feeling the anxiety and anger of the commander, the generals didn't dare to say more immediately, and returned to their respective troops one after another, summoned the school lieutenant officers to restrain the soldiers, waved their whips non-stop, and drove away cattle and sheep, beating and scolding.

Although the soldiers complained endlessly because of this, Goguryeo's military laws were strict, and no one dared to violate the military orders. They all marched forward with all their strength, and the speed was indeed much faster.

At noon, a school lieutenant caught up with Gao Huizhen and asked, "Marshal, it's almost noon, do you want to stop moving forward and light a fire to make food?"

Gao Huizhen wiped his face. It rained continuously for the first two days, and the road was muddy and difficult to walk, which seriously slowed down the marching speed.It turned out that today was a sunny day, but the sun was so hot that people were sweating, all the strength in the body flowed away with the sweat, and the whole body was about to collapse.

Glancing at the sky, he asked the officer beside him, "How long will it take to arrive in Anshi City?"

The officer said: "There are more than two hundred miles left. Walking out of this mountain road is Daque Valley. After passing Daque Valley, the road is much smoother. You only need to cross two more rivers to reach Anshi City. If you follow the At the current speed, it will probably take the day after tomorrow.”

Gao Huizhen pondered for a while, and said decisively: "This place has high mountains, dense forests, dense roads and twists and turns. It is too difficult to make a fire and cook food. A little carelessness may cause a wildfire. In case the Tang army finds out our whereabouts, set up an ambush in this area , It only takes a burst of rockets to cause us heavy losses. Send the order to speed up the march, and after we get out of Daque Valley, the whole army will set up camp and rest!"
