"Yes, but if you are just hiding behind the city wall, how do you know what the Tang people are doing outside the city?" Quangai Suwen is like a volcano about to erupt, which may erupt at any time.
"I have sent spies!"
"Have you forgotten what I taught you? Don't just believe in other people's eyes, see with your own eyes!" Quan Gaisuwen said: "Our ancestors built so many mountain cities and barriers not for us to hide. The one at the back is used as a position to counterattack the enemy. The general of the Tang Dynasty is not a fool. If he wants to do something, he will definitely make up an illusion to cover up the fact. You can only find out the truth in the battle by constantly attacking him and testing him. , your brother was captured because of his bad luck, not because of anything he did wrong!"
"Yes, father!" Quanyuan Nanjian lowered his head in frustration. His father's voice of giving orders could be heard in his ears. He assigned tasks in an orderly manner. First, he attacked a camp of the Tang Army from several directions at the same time to break the westward encirclement. In this way, Goguryeo The people's cavalry can threaten the anchorage of the Tang army's fleet. From the enemy's response, we can make a new judgment. The entire plan was handed over to an experienced general by Izumaki Suwen, and Izumibuchi Osan (the third son) was appointed as his deputy. Obviously, he was allowed to follow and learn from it. , thinking of this, Quanyuan Nanjian felt a jealousy burning in his chest, rushing straight to the top door.
"Wake up, wake up, Master!"
Wang Wenzuo opened his eyes and saw Sancho's familiar ugly face. He breathed a sigh of relief: "What's the matter!"
"There's some noise, listen, it's coming from the west!"
Wang Wenzuo turned over and sat up, picked up his cloak and wrapped it around him and walked out of the tent. The sky was not yet fully bright, the moon was on the treetops, and the sound came from the west. It was a little blurry at first, but as the wind direction changed, it quickly became Become clear.
"Crying to kill? A fight started?"
"Yes!" Sancho nodded worriedly: "The sound is getting more and more westward. It seems that the situation is not good!"
Wang Wenzuo understood what his subordinates meant. The Tang army came across the sea to the east. Pyongyang City is located to the west of the Tang army's camp. The shouts of killing are getting more and more westward, which only means that the war situation is not good for the Tang army.
"Blow the drums and let the whole army have breakfast first!"
"Yes, Master!"
Quan Gaisuwen jumped off his horse, stepped over the burnt blackened ruins, and walked into the Tang army's camp. There was only ruins left here, the door was broken, the walls were half collapsed, corpses and fragments of weapons were everywhere. Izumigasu Wen walked across the open space, his eyes scanning each corpse, as if there was some secret hidden in them.
"Who is this person!" Quan Gaisuwen stopped and pointed to the corpse at his feet: his body was covered with scars, but the fatal blow was an ax that split his head in half, and the thick and tangled wounds were The bearded man, and the patched white cloak on his body were covered in black blood stains. Four Goguryeo corpses lay beside him. It was obvious that he had paid a high price for his life.
"I guess there is no way to escape!" Quanyuan Man said: "It's just a trapped beast still fighting!"
Quan Gaisuwen ignored the third son, took the spear from the attendant and turned the corpse over: "There are no wounds on the back, the wounds are all on the chest!" Then he turned over another Tang Army corpse, and then the third one. , he stopped when he turned to the fourth body: "There are no injuries on the back!"
The Goguryeo generals all remained silent. Of course they knew what this meant - even though they were at a disadvantage, the enemy still fought desperately and did not escape.
"What a difficult guy!" Quan Gaisuwen sighed. He jumped up to the wall with a spear and said loudly: "The people of the Tang Dynasty are greedy. They live in the blessed land of the Central Plains, but they don't tolerate me like Goguryeo and Haidong. The small country will destroy me soon. All our houses and mausoleums are here. If you return today, you will attack me again next year. Today's battle is not to reward officials, but for the well-being of our descendants. All generals encourage us!"
Quan Gaesumun has held the power of life and death for decades, and his majesty is profound. Regardless of the official position, the Goguryeo people often kowtow and worship him. They usually obey orders, not so much because of conviction, but more out of fear. However, what he said just now is... This aroused everyone's hatred and hatred, and they responded in unison: "We and the Tang people swear not to live together, and we also ask Da Molizhi to give the order to pursue the Tang people!"
After the order was issued, the generals dispersed. Quan Yuan, who had not received the order, looked at the backs of everyone with some disappointment. He originally wanted to make a contribution in this pursuit battle to overwhelm his second brother, but now it seems that is not enough. It's just a fantasy. Could it be that my father saw what I was thinking and deliberately didn't give me a chance to make meritorious deeds, so as not to undermine my second brother's position? Quan Yuannan was thinking wildly in his mind.
"Yuan Nansan! Did you learn anything just now?"
"Ah?" Mr. Quanyuan was stunned. He hesitated: "What did you learn?"
Seeing this, Quan Gaisuwen couldn't tell what the third son was thinking, and snorted coldly: "Did you just want to lead troops to pursue the Tang people and perform meritorious deeds to overpower your second brother?"
"Ah? No, absolutely not!" Quanyuan's face changed drastically, and he quickly denied it.
"Don't deny it. As a father, if I couldn't even understand the thoughts of a child with a mouth like yours, our Quan family would have been exterminated seven or eight times ago!" Quan Gaisuwen snorted coldly: "Let's talk about this again. It’s not a fault. At your age, you are full of energy and feel that there is nothing you can do in the world. It would be strange if you don’t have such thoughts!"
"Aye!" Mr. Quanyuan lowered his head in shame.
"Have you read "The Book of Han"?"
"Seen!"
"That's good. Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai and others under Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, have all experienced hundreds of battles and have made a lot of achievements. However, Emperor Gao just called them 'meritorious dogs', and the one above them was Xiao He. , Zhang Liang, how could they attack the city and break the formation? In the final analysis, meritorious service on the battlefield is still inferior, understanding the human heart is the foundation. We have just broken through the Tang people's camp, the soldiers are all arrogant, and the Tang people are in a foreign country , how can we win in a confrontation with someone who is determined to die? What I said just now is to make all the soldiers lose their pride and become a mourning army, so that they can have a chance of victory. Do you understand?"
"Thank you Aye for your teaching, my child understands!"
Silla army camp.
"The Tang people have withdrawn their troops, but they asked us to cut off their rear. They are always like this. They only think about themselves at critical moments. We should transport the baggage to the south bank immediately, so as to ensure that everything is safe!"
Wang Wenzuo squinted his eyes and looked at the person who spoke. He was Jin Renwen's deputy general named Jin Huicheng. He was a short, fat old man with a thick beard and a belly as big as an oak barrel. When he spoke, his white beard curled up. It looked like a frog frothing at the mouth, but no one in the room laughed. Except for Jin Renwen, everyone nodded accordingly, as if they were puppets controlled by silk threads.
