Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 434 Brilliant Judgment

Gao Ming made an own mistake, but fortunately, although the cannons on the ship were booming loudly, no one was hurt.

After all, the siege cannons were originally used to bombard the gates, not the people. In addition, at this time, the lights were out of order, and the warship was dangling on the sea. It is estimated that the shells had all hit the sea.

After rejoicing, Zhang Liang wiped the cold sweat from the fright on his forehead again.

"Fortunately, I didn't give the order to release the arrows, otherwise, if His Highness the Crown Prince is injured by mistake, my whole family would not be enough for His Majesty!"

Thinking of this, he immediately yelled at the soldiers beside him.

"Why are you still standing in a daze? Didn't you see that His Royal Highness is about to go ashore? Hurry up and ask someone to light more torches to light up the ferry. Go!"

"Yes!"

Under Zhang Liang's order, within a short while, thousands of torches were lit around, almost using up all the torches he brought this time.

But right now, he didn't have the heart to think about these problems. The moment the warship docked, he quickly boarded the ship.

After boarding the warship, Zhang Liang didn't see Gao Ming, but saw Hou Junji standing aside, and he frowned immediately.

"Captain Hou, where is His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Hou Junji already had a problem with Zhang Liang, but now he saw that he was ignoring him so much, so he immediately snorted, and then turned around.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Zhang Liang's mouth twitched twice, he ignored Hou Junji and looked around on the warship.

When he saw the tank on the deck of the warship, his face was filled with joy, and he quickly came to the side of the tank and bowed.

"My minister Zhang Liang, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Ok!"

As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, there was a "bang", and the iron door on the right side of the tank opened, and Gao Ming in armor came out from inside.

After walking out, Gao Ming smiled at Zhang Liang.

"Hearing Goguryeo on the other side, I thought General Zhang's entire army was wiped out, haha!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Zhang Liang quickly knelt down on one knee.

"The humble minister is incompetent. He has besieged Beisha City for more than half a month, but he has not done an inch. I hope His Royal Highness will punish him!"

Seeing Zhang Liang put on a gesture of pleading guilty, Gao Ming immediately waved towards him.

"Okay, even though it's my first time on the battlefield, it doesn't mean I don't know anything. There are more than 1 people guarding Beisha City. It is really difficult for you to capture it. You can block the ferry. It's already pretty good, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

Seeing Gao Ming being so reasonable, Zhang Liang also heaved a sigh of relief before standing up.

At this time, Zhang Liang had already seen everything on the warship, and found that there were only dozens of people on board, and such a small number of people could not even be called reinforcements, so he felt very strange.

"I don't know why His Royal Highness is here?"

Gao Ming also understood what Zhang Liang was thinking, and he immediately laughed.

"Haha, actually I intend to take Beisha City, but this is a long story, I will tell you slowly after I get the tank down."

Having said that, Gao Ming raised his chin towards Zhang Sizheng.

"Ah Zheng, let someone build a convenient bridge!"

"Yes!"

Under Gao Ming's order, Zhang Sizheng immediately sent people to start building the temporary bridge, but because the ferry was a bit dilapidated, it took a lot more time than before.

A smile appeared on Gao Ming's face when the tank hit the ground.

"Huzi, you lead people to take down all the twenty siege cannons on the ship, Ah Zheng, you and Aji continue to guard the warship."

After giving instructions to the two, Gao Ming turned his attention to Zhang Liang and Hou Junji.

"Okay, let's go, Duke Lu and Duke Xun, come on the tank with me, let's discuss the battle plan!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Hou Junji boarded the tank immediately, and after Zhang Liang ordered his subordinates to lead the way, he also followed Hou Junji into the tank.

After the two came up, the tank started to move slowly again.

Gao Ming asked someone to close the door of the tank, and at the same time opened his mouth to Zhang Liang.

"Mr. Xun Guo, let's talk about the situation in Beisha City first!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Liang agreed, and then began to tell Gao Ming about the situation in Beisha City.

"His Royal Highness, more than a month ago, Goguryeo's great opponent, Lu Quangai Suwen, led troops to invade the border. Duke E led 12 soldiers to fight against him in Pingzhou City, and I led [-] soldiers to attack Beisha City."

Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Gao Ming nodded immediately.

"This tactic is correct. Now the soldiers and horses of the Goguryeo people are mainly concentrated in the two important cities of Liaodong City and Jian'an. Beisha City is bound to be empty. Attacking Beisha City is indeed a very good choice. Even if it cannot be defeated, Jian'an City can be contained. of troops."

"His Royal Highness is wise!"

Seeing Gao Ming explain his intentions, a smile flashed across Zhang Liang's eyes, and he immediately cupped his hands towards Gao Ming.

"This is exactly what I planned, so for half a month, I have been besieging but not attacking. As a result, Jian'an has sent about [-] soldiers and horses to help Beisha City, but after being repelled by me , there will be no more.”

"No more?"

Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Gao Ming frowned immediately.

"Jian'an is a heavy city, so it's not surprising that there are 2 soldiers, but why didn't they come after only a few defeats? And they only sent [-] people. Isn't that strange?"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Hou Junji nodded.

"The last general also thinks so, His Royal Highness, the last general thinks that there are only two reasons for this situation!"

Having said that, Hou Junji stretched out two fingers.

"First, Beisha City has sufficient food and grass, and the Goguryeo people believed that Beisha City was stable, so they didn't send troops here; second, the troops in Jian'an City were sent elsewhere, and there was no time to send troops to help!"

Hou Junji is worthy of being a veteran who has led troops for decades, so he naturally has his own uniqueness in analyzing the battle situation. After hearing his analysis, Gao Ming couldn't help but nodded.

"Lu Guogong is right, and as far as I know, Quan Gai Suwen is cautious by nature. If he was really at ease with Beisha City, he would not have sent people to help him in the first place, so I think the second It's more likely... Ah, I see!"

Having said that, Gao Ming suddenly slapped his hands, and then stood up.

"Quan Gai Suwen knew that we were attacking Beisha City, and also knew that we would be unable to attack for a while, so he mobilized a large number of soldiers from Jian'an City, so I estimate that the current strength of Jian'an City should not be much more than that of Beisha City! "

After hearing Gao Ming's words, Hou Junji and Zhang Liang immediately understood what he meant, and a trace of astonishment appeared on their faces.

"His Royal Highness, what do you mean..."

Seeing the shocked look of the two, Gao Ming suddenly grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.

"Quan Gai Suwen dared to play empty city tricks with me, so I let him know what it means to crush IQ. If you want to play, you might as well play the big one. Give up Beisha City, and let's go directly to Jian'an City!"

"hiss……"
