Chapter 273: Where will the plan come out?
The urn is a defensive facility built outside the city gate and protects the city gate like a "urn".
Outside the wall city is a moat. Outside the wall city is a moat, there are also defense facilities such as crisscrossing trenches, densely packed Luzhai, staggered arrow towers and even endless beacon towers. Therefore, the hundreds of steps outside the wall city are actually in the defense hinterland of the Goguryeo people. For Galan, he was alone and went deep into the army and was in danger.
Galan was so arrogant that she regarded the enemy as if nothing had happened. On the one hand, it boosted her morale, on the other hand, it hit the enemy's morale, and at the same time forced Gao Ping to negotiate immediately. If Gao Ping still hid in the city with his head shrank and did not even dare to show his true face, it would definitely be a heavy blow to the morale of the Goguryeo people.
On the battlefield, whoever takes the initiative will gain the advantage. Gao Ping did not understand Galan at all. He followed his generals of the imperial generals and followed Galan's "step". As a result, he fell into a passive position and had to follow Galan's "step".
Gao Ping hesitated.
Fake surrender, negotiations from the city, and delaying time are originally the established strategy of the Goguryeo people, but the problem is that the choice of timing is very important. If Gaoping leaves the city to negotiate and surrender at this moment, it will definitely destroy the few remaining beliefs and courage left by his side. What scares him is that the situation inside and outside the city is very tense now. The city is eager to close the city gate for security needs. The fugitives outside the city are rushing in to seek survival. The conflict between the two sides is extremely fierce. At this moment, negotiations with the enemy must first clear the Xicheng Gate and drive away all the fugitives in the direction of the Xicheng Gate. In this way, the matter that is originally secret will be completely public and will spread throughout Wugu City in an instant. The consequences can be imagined. Since Wugu City is about to surrender, what is there any reason to prevent the fugitives from rushing into the city?
However, the city gates must be closed. Even if the Middle-earth people are kind-hearted and do not kill the unarmed elderly, weak, women and children, the most basic alert is still there. They know that the Goguryeo people surrendered at this time to delay time, so they will inevitably take corresponding measures to find opportunities to capture the city. Therefore, while the two sides negotiated, the Imperial ** team must make an siege. The fugitives with both hearts will inevitably lose their minds in order to enter the city. They will inevitably have bloody conflicts with the defenders in the city. At that moment, the situation will be out of control and the consequences will be unimaginable.
The young general of the empire was indeed powerful. He grabbed the "pivots" of the Goguryeo people with one move. Gao Ping repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, but could not find a way to avoid it. He could only hand over his "pivots" to his opponents and honestly went out of the city to negotiate, so as to be his "sincerity". He tried every means to "deception" his opponents, and then turned the situation around and regain the initiative to win enough time.
As long as the fugitives enter the city safely. As long as the defending army and the fugitive civilians do not break out in bloody conflicts and kill each other, Gao Ping successfully "subverted" the situation. However, the young general of the Empire lost the great opportunity to capture Wugu City in vain. Just like the Emperor's team when they first attacked Liaodong City, Liaodong City had collapsed under the storm-like attack of the Emperor's team and had surrendered. Unexpectedly, the Emperor's team did not enter Liaodong City in time because they were waiting for the emperor's orders. As a result, the Goguryeo "subverted" the battle situation. This was a bloody lesson. The Goguryeo who turned defeat into victory remembered it very well, but will the arrogant Middle-earth people remember it in their hearts?
Gao Ping decided to take a gamble. Based on his understanding of the powerful and wealthy Middle-earth China and the understanding of the imperial generals, he made a judgment. Children of aristocratic families like Galan who "stealed" power and wealth based on their ancestors must be above the top, arrogant, arrogant and ignorant, and would never remember the "learning" of that year. He was absolutely sure to deceive.
Gao Ping ordered the clearing of the site, clearing out the Xicheng Gate, and deploying heavy troops to make full preparations. At the same time, his deputy was assigned to other city gates to ensure that in the critical moment, the defenders of each city gate could receive orders as soon as possible and resolutely execute orders. Under the current circumstances, the city gates would be massacred by the innocent, and those abandoned innocent people might not escape the massacre of the Middle-earth people. Therefore, the orders were good, but they were very difficult to execute. Once the mistake occurred, Wugu City would be in danger.
The news that the Goguryeo people "cleared the market" at the Xicheng Gate reached Galan's ears.
Jialan laughed and waved to the northwest wolf brothers such as Buyi and others, and made an attack gesture to Feng Yi and Jiang Chengzhi.
“Woo woo…”
The big horns rang into the sky, followed by the drums and trumpets, and various flags fluttered in the wind.
Feng Yi, Jiang Chengzhi and other northwest generals drove their horses and walked away. Teams of northwest knights rushed out of their own formation on horseback and rushed to the south and north.
Liu Heita, Cao Dan, Li Deyi, Sima Chang'an and others arrived on horseback.
Liu Heita was the most anxious and asked angrily, "The general bullied me, no one in Hebei?"
Jialan has a tacit understanding with the people in the northwest and relies on the people in the northwest. Hebei people agree with this. After all, Jialan rose in the northwest, but Jialan's bloodline is the Sima family in Wencheng. The Sima family has the most close historical origins and interests are inseparable. In a sense, Jialan should be closer to the people in Hebei. Liu Heita is so angry, and there is a reason for this. Until this moment, Hebei people don't even know what Jialan is going to do?
"Look..." Galan raised his whip and pointed to the grass dozens of steps behind him. The Northwest Wolf Brothers and two teams of Northwest Sergeants, Asina Dana, Asina Hebao, and a team of Turkic soldiers, Gao Tai, Qiao Er and Su Dingfang, etc., Hebei brave soldiers, and the most powerful soldiers in the Dragon Guard are all gathered here.
"Who said someone ignored Hebei people?"
Cao Dan vaguely guessed Jia Lan’s intention and asked hesitantly, “Will the general lead a group of people be rebels?”
Galan sneered, "Did you overestimate them?"
Liu Heita and others were secretly surprised. Jialan brought a group of men to rebel? So underestimating the enemy, wouldn't it be that he would fall into the trap and seek death? Immediately, the people in the northwest were flying to Wugu City, which seemed to be a threat to restrain him. However, with Jialan's personality, he would never accept the surrender of the Goguryeo people, and it was reasonable to massacre the city. If Jialan was trying to attack the city, then he would take a group of men to Xicheng, and let Feng Yi and Jiang Chengzhi lead several groups of men to the north and south of the city. It is obvious that he wanted to use himself as bait to attract the main force of the enemy, and then create opportunities for Feng Yi and Jiang Chengzhi to attack Wugu's Xicheng. In this way, would the people in Hebei follow Jialan and attack Wugu's Xicheng?
"General wants to attack the city?" Sima Chang'an asked excitedly.
"Of course." Jialan replied without hesitation, "Soldiers are very important. I have to come day and night, but I will be unpredictable to attack the enemy."
Liu Heita, Cao Dan and Li Deyi looked at each other with worry. The Hebei people in the Longwei Army were different from those in the northwest. The people in the northwest were professional soldiers and had been through the battlefield for a long time. The people in Hebei were all farmers in the past. After the uprising, they did not undergo formal training or fight decent battles. This time they even traveled a long distance to fight in a completely unfamiliar wild place. The first battle was to fight Wugucheng, which was to bite hard bones, which was uneasy.
"Where will the plan come out?" Liu Heita asked seriously.
"The east of Wugu City is the River of the River." Galan said slowly, "A hundred miles away, the River of the River of the River meets the Yalu Water. From the two banks of the River of the River, you can directly reach the intersection of the two waters. From there, cross the river and cross the Yalu Water, you can temporarily get rid of danger. Our troops are in a hurry to attack the city. The defenders in the city can defend the danger, but what should the Goguryeo people outside the city do?"
The Goguryeo people outside the city would definitely flee along the River toward Yalu River, but what is the direct relationship between those innocent people and the attack on Wugu City? Liu Heita, Cao Dan and others were confused, but they did not dare to interrupt Jialan rashly.
"Gaoping was clearing the market at the west city gate. After General Feng and General Jiang rushed to the north and south cities, the gates of the two cities were immediately closed, and the Goguryeo people outside the city had to flee east. If the gates of the east city were also closed, where would they escape? They could only escape along the river."
Galan gently waved the whip, and his tone gradually became colder, "You rushed to the River immediately and cut off the Goguryeo people's escape east."
Liu Heita and others suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood. Galan was about to start a killing. The Goguryeo people cut off the way to escape east, and the Goguryeo people had to jump into the river. Thousands of innocent people were killed by the Emperor's team, and countless people drowned. This would have a huge impact on Wugu City. What should the defenders in the city do? Don't save them when they die? The consequence of not saving them when they die is the collapse of morale in the city. Therefore, in order to unite the military and civilians and gather morale, Wugu City must open the city gate and send troops to save civilians. The opportunity to siege the city is here.
Liu Heita frowned slightly and asked, "If the captains in the city ignore them and ignore them..."
"He can't go back." Jialan's eyes showed murderous intent, and a hint of determination showed in his hoarse voice. "As long as someone is still alive, Gao Ping can't enter the city."
Liu Heita understood, Cao Dan also understood, Li Deyi and Sima Chang'an also knew Jia Lan's siege plan. It was simple to say that Jia Lan used her body as bait to lure Gao Ping, the supreme commander of Wugu City, and then made a gamble with his own life and killed Gao Ping at any cost. Once Gao Ping died, Wugu City lost its support. In addition, the killing of innocent civilians by the Emperor's team outside the city, Wugu City would be in chaos. At this time, the Emperor's team would be able to capture the city with one more luck.
Jialan was too cruel, being cruel to the enemy and even more cruel to himself. Only in this way can he get to where he is today. Liu Heita and others admired him very much, gave him a deep tribute, and took the order and left.
Chai Shao and Huang Junhan came over. They were standing near Galan just now and could hear clearly. Galan was young and eager to make contributions, so he did not hesitate to use such bloody, cruel and cunning methods. The result was foreseeable. Even if he captured Wugu City and won the first merits of the third Eastern Expedition, he would be criticized and impeached by others.
Chai Shao and Huang Junhan requested to go together, but Jialan flatly refused and asked them to lead the preparations and follow Sima Fu Duanyi's orders to support all battlefields at any time.
