Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 358
Goguryeo New City is one of the most important border towns. It was built on the opposite side of the Liaoshui River. It is a mountain top. Although it is not a high mountain, it just gets stuck in the traffic. The Mohe tribe, etc.

Feng Daiwen chose to attack here because he wanted to take this opportunity to open the gap in Goguryeo's defense. By occupying the new city, the Goguryeo defense line could be divided into two parts without connecting the end to the end. Exposed, this is also the goal of this expedition, but Feng Daiwen has not announced it yet, it depends on the specific situation.

On November [-]th of the fifth year of Zhenguan, Feng Daiwen led his people across the frozen Liaoshui River through the wind and snow, and arrived at the back of a mountain southwest of Xincheng.

For this expedition, Liaoxi has long been fully prepared. All the wool purchased in Liaoxi in the past two years has not been sold, and all of them have been made into coats.

Every soldier wears a woolen sweater inside, a cotton coat outside, a cotton hat, a wool scarf, wool gloves, and a wool mask on his face. It can be said that as long as he does not run on a horse and let the cold wind blow, All warm.

Even the war horses are wrapped in woolen clothes, (refer to pet dogs).

"Captain, how do we fight in this city?" Li Zhen raised his mask, exhaled hot air, and asked Feng Daiwen.

Feng Daiwen deliberately brought a few young people to observe the new city, just to give them advice.

But looking at the new city on the mountain, everyone couldn't think of a good way. They all stared at Feng Daiwen to see how he would answer.

"If it's just a normal attack, you can only use siege, force attack, or mobilize a large number of civilians to dig from the foot of the mountain. These stupid methods will take more than half a year to attack." Feng Daiwen glanced at them and explained.

"Dig the mountain? How many people are needed to dig it down!" Li Zhen opened his eyes wide, unable to believe that Feng Daiwen actually said these methods.

"Digging a mountain doesn't necessarily mean digging it down. The main purpose is to cut off the water source, draw all the water from the mountain down, and make the wells above dry, which is also to put pressure on them." Feng Daiwen said with a smile.

Li Zhen didn't expect that there were several meanings involved in digging mountains, so he smiled embarrassedly and didn't speak.

"Commander, you said normal attacks, so there must be abnormal attacks?" Li Dejian continued to ask.

Although these young people are about the same size as Feng Daiwen, they all know that Feng Daiwen's achievements are all real skills, and they all admire him. In addition, he has led troops to fight for many years and is in a high position, so he has a natural temperament, which makes them unrecognizable. As people of the same age, they are always asking for advice in front of their elders.

"Of course, Wei Gong and I have also deduced the new city. If there is time to plan, it will take more than half a year to obtain it, but what we lack is time.

Fortunately, this weather gave us a chance, and the Goguryeo people should not have thought that they would attack in winter, and they were not prepared. "Feng Daiwen analyzed.

"Even if you don't have much precaution, there are still patrolling personnel. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get close?" Li Dejian raised his head and looked through the binoculars and said.

"Hey! Look at us. The woolen clothes inside are all white. The same is true for the horses. You just need to take off the horses, put them on your back, bend over and approach slowly at night. Who is there? I can find it." Feng Daiwen said with a smile and a little complacency.

All the young generals couldn't help but glanced down at the woolen sweater and then at the snow. Comparing the two, they immediately understood. They couldn't help admiring Feng Daiwen for coming up with a solution so quickly.

On November [-]th, the last quarter of the moon, Feng Daiwen deliberately chose to attack at midnight. Not only was there a moonlight, but the road could be vaguely seen at this time, and it was also the coldest time. I believe that there would be fewer patrols at this time.

Some people were left to guard the horses. The weather was too cold, and the clothes were taken away from the horses. A fire had to be raised, otherwise the horses would freeze and it would be very troublesome.

Fortunately, I brought a lot of carbon with me when I went out to ensure the needs of the army all the way.

Fanatics, Rattan Armored Soldiers, and Hercules Legion, dressed in horse wool clothes, carefully moved towards the top of the mountain in batches, and stopped when there were still 500 meters left.

Then Feng Daiwen's iron guards dispatched, trotted close to the city wall, looked up and didn't find the patrol, immediately threw a set of ropes with iron claws to the top of the city, the iron claws firmly grasped it, and then the iron guards carefully climbed along the ropes go up.

Seeing the iron guards climbing up the city wall, Feng Daiwen breathed a sigh of relief secretly, which also meant that everything was as expected. On this bitterly cold night, with Goguryeo's thin clothes, the guards must have hid aside to warm themselves, and People are most likely to sleep soundly by warming themselves by the fire on a cold night.

After the iron guard went up, he hung up the ladder again, and Feng Daiwen directed other people to approach and climb up the ladder.

He didn't open the door directly because he was afraid that the noise would alarm the enemy. At this time, dozens of iron guards were already at the gate of the city.

Things went smoothly unexpectedly, until thousands of people entered the city, and other soldiers also lined up behind them, Feng Daiwen waited impatiently to climb the wall, and ordered to open the city gate.

"Crunch!" A long voice sounded, spreading far away in the dark night.

However, the guards near the city gate have already been killed in their deep sleep. The guards hiding in the cave may have heard the voice, but there are guards outside, no one greets them, so they ignore it and continue to sleep. After all, it is so cold, it is okay to get up Nobody wants to.

Feng Daiwen was very surprised. He was already ready to fight, but no one would have noticed. It was like punching cotton, making him feel uncomfortable.

That being the case, Feng Daiwen was not polite, and ordered the soldiers to file in, as if returning to their own camp, and ordered the [-] infantry behind to continue to follow.

Entering the city, Feng Daiwen ordered Chen Xiong and Chen Hu to lead 5000 Tengjia troops along the city wall to capture the left and right gates. One day, Fang Yiai led [-] people to attack the guard camp.

The rest of the army was also under the command of Feng Daiwen, and the whole city was paid in units of thousands of people.

This arrangement is also due to the special structure of the new city, which is almost a triangular military city, with two city gates facing the two sides of the mountain, and a gate behind it leading to their own country.

"kill!"

"what!"

With the sound of shouting and killing, the screams continued to come. The unsuspecting Goguryeo people were stunned by the sudden appearance of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and woke up in a deep sleep. They did not expect to face death.

Under the light of the fire, the mask covering the head, with only the eyes outside, frightened the Goguryeo people who had not yet woken up.
