Chapter 509
The general of Goguryeo’s side is named Nusa Yanshou. Like Ulji Mundeok, he is a famous Goguryeo general who has experienced many battles, and he is a general trusted by Yuan Gaisuwen. Wen Junzheng took it easy, but when the big opponent Lu was away, this son Sa Yanshou was in charge of military power.

Not long ago, when the Khitan people contacted Goguryeo to send troops, Goguryeo had different opinions, because they had already sent people to prepare money to redeem people in the Tang Dynasty.

Let's not say whether it will be successful or not. If the hostages are successfully taken, Datang refuses to accept it, and the war will be over.

However, even if Sa Yanshou owns the military alone, it is difficult for him to support himself. After all, the power of money belongs to the ministers of the DPRK, and the minister of finance needs to calculate the gains and losses when the big opponent Lu is not there.

In addition, Yuangai Suwen seized power not long ago, and his power was not yet stable. Many people in the court still favored the lord Gao Jianwen. In addition, with the instigation of Khitan and Mohe envoys, [-]% of Goguryeo officials supported the war.

Moreover, many of the military commanders were brooding about the loss of five cities two years ago, and wanted to take revenge a long time ago. However, when Datang and Khitan teamed up, Goguryeo did not dare to attack. Tomb, abandoning allies, Khitan switched to Goguryeo, then it is no problem to regain the five cities in this surprise attack.

Therefore, the Goguryeo people who had finished the discussion urgently recalled the redeeming envoys who had been sent out for three days, and waited for an opportunity to sneak attack on the Northeast garrison of the Tang Dynasty.

Thus, there was this sneak attack on Beisha City.

After holding on for eight days, [-]% of the soldiers under his command died. As soon as the reinforcements arrived, it was time for revenge. Niu Jinda and the city guards came down to the city with red eyes and rushed out with their troops.

The north gate was wide open, and without waiting for the Goguryeo people from outside to rush in, the Datang defenders in the city rushed out three thousand, led by Niu Xiu and Niu Jinda, screaming to cooperate with the outside reinforcements and attack the Goguryeo people who were attacking the city.

Sa Yanshou of Goguryeo saw it, well, [-] reinforcements came as soon as Datang came, and there were less than [-] troops on his own side. The troops in the city quickly retreated to the east like a tide.

Niu Jinda turned around and pursued, Cheng Yaojin also led the cavalry to chase after him, yelling and cursing all the way. After chasing for ten miles, he gave up, and the two sides joined forces and came back to the city.

"Lao Niu, what's the loss? Goguryeo is so ugly, sooner or later I will lead my brothers to destroy them." Cheng Yaojin asked with concern.

Niu Jinda, who returned to the City Lord's Mansion, sat down on the ground and said sadly: "Hey! Old Cheng, if you come one day late, brother will be finished. This time the thief came suddenly, we were not prepared enough, and we lost seven of them. Thirty percent are all wounded."

Cheng Yaojin comforted: "Okay, don't cry, the brothers didn't die in vain, the Goguryeo people must have lost more, I, Da Tang Erlang, am not a coward."

"That's right, if they don't leave [-] corpses under the city, then my life will be in vain."

"Stop bragging, you're proud to win the city defense battle with one-for-two? If it's my old Cheng, at least one-for-three.

Fortunately, we have saved Beisha City. It was Maogong's strategy to connect the five cities of the Tang Dynasty. At this moment, it seems that it is really unbreakable. Each city has [-] troops. Who has heard of such a force?This is to use the five cities as the main city of the state road for defense.

Little Goguryeo wants to break this big net with 8 people?Then someone has to beat Maogong first. "Cheng Yaojin said proudly.

Seeing Lieutenant Hu who came back with Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda felt at ease, arranged for people to deal with the post-war affairs, and brought a few lieutenants and Cheng Yaojin's people to start the post-war summary.

"Old Cheng, the sudden arrival of the enemy this time, no, it should be something strange. It stands to reason that it is cold winter just after the New Year's Eve, and it is impossible to start a big war. There is ice and snow everywhere. If it weren't for the heated kang and cotton clothes of the Tang Dynasty, our defenders would be here I can't get used to it.

Although he was born here in Goguryeo, he rarely fought in winter, so this matter is a bit weird. "Niu Jinda has some ideas in his mind, and he wants to summarize and analyze them with everyone.

When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he also began to frown, "It's really inexplicable. With an army of 8, how many troops does Goguryeo have? This time, it cost a lot of money. If it's just to regain the city, it shouldn't be chosen at this time. Winter Going to war is not good for them either.

So, something happened. "

At this time, Wang Dadu, Cheng Yaojin's deputy general, said: "Could it be related to the events of the past few days? Not long ago, the Tang Dynasty came to send a letter to Goguryeo. The Guoshu asked Goguryeo to bring money to redeem people, could it be that they didn't want to redeem people and used troops to oppress us?"

"Well, it makes sense. Hmph, Bangzi has such a big appetite. A mere 8 people is like fighting against my 10 people? You underestimate us too. It seems that when I hunt in the future, I need to increase my strength. It’s just that robbing property and population is not enough, so I’ll find time to hunt a city and let them see what military power is.” Cheng Yaojin sneered disdainfully.

That's right, Cheng Yaojin's daily hunting is not that hunting, the target is the people of Goguryeo, not wild beasts. It can be said that the great general of Tang Dynasty is the most prestigious road robber in the world. This is his old man. After working in the Northeast for two years in my own business, Cheng Yaojin can be said to have had a good time.

After a day of recuperation in the city, leaving 1 people to Niu Jinda to continue to defend, Cheng Yaojin will lead his troops back. After all, the troops in the other cities cannot leave for a long time.

But before he could lead people out of the city, Beisha City was besieged again, and this time it wasn't just [-] troops, but a full [-] troops.

Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda were stunned, feeling something was wrong in their hearts, as if they had been tricked.

Niu Jinda had a flash of inspiration and exclaimed: "Old Cheng, I'm afraid we have been tricked. 8 people surround you and me, and there are no reinforcements around. The two of us have been caught and used as bargaining chips for redemption." .”

"Isn't that right? I didn't expect that Lao Tzu, the wisest man, would be so careless in his calculations. It's really bad luck."

The lieutenants all around covered their faces one after another, the general really didn't know what time it was, and he was still bragging here.

None of them worried that Beisha City would be destroyed, because there were [-] soldiers in the city and only [-] outside, so it would be impossible to attack the city.

But they didn't expect that the soldiers and horses of Goguryeo below did not intend to attack because they were besieging and not attacking, but were waiting for the opportunity and waiting for the arrival of siege reinforcements.

As for Goguryeo's reinforcements, there can only be two teams of Khitan and Mohe. Although these two groups are poor countries, there is never a shortage of manpower to go out to fight. The sending of [-] troops was unknown to the Tang Dynasty, and the two countries sent troops from north to south. At this time, there was no general in Liaodong City, and there were only [-] defenders. It is conceivable that they would suffer a big loss.
