Chapter 414: The generals work together to defeat the reinforcements

"Report to the Grand Chief Manager, I believe that only by leading 4,000 cavalry to fight, you can defeat Goguryeo reinforcements!" Li Daozong, deputy chief manager of Liaodong Dao, bowed.

"Lead 4,000 cavalry to fight for 40,000 enemy troops?" A general couldn't help but say in surprise, "King Jiangxia's move is probably too risky!"

After hearing Li Daozong's words, many generals immediately whispered and started to talk.

Li Ji frowned, his eyes turned, and then asked Li Daozong: "Why does King Jiangxia think that he can fight for 40,000 enemies by just leading 4,000 cavalry?"

"Precisely because there are many enemy troops coming to support, they will definitely underestimate the enemy with the masses and will not take our army seriously; in addition, the enemy has not yet had a long journey, and they will definitely be exhausted. When our army attacks, we will definitely be able to defeat him!" Li Daozong explained slowly.

Li Ji nodded thoughtfully: "The King of Jiangxia is right! However, the General Manager of the Grand Prix believes that a surprise soldier needs to be sent. In this way, the King of Jiangxia first led 4,000 cavalry to meet the enemy, and the General Manager of the Grand Prix sent another surprise soldier to cover the enemy from the flank!"

Li Daozong thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

The other generals had no objection. At this time, they could not send more troops to fight against Goguryeo reinforcements, so they could only follow what Li Daozong suggested.

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Li Ji ordered: "The Deputy Chief of Liaodong Road, King Jiang Xia, followed the order!"

"Here!" Li Daozong responded.

"You are especially ordered to lead 4,000 cavalry to fight enemy reinforcements, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Abide by the order!"

Li Daozong immediately led 4,000 cavalry to raid the Goguryeo reinforcements who had not breathed.

As expected, the 40,000 reinforcements from Goguryeo did not expect the Tang army to raid. When they found that there were not many Tang troops coming, they immediately underestimated the enemy.

The chief general sent only eight thousand infantry and cavalry to fight, allowing the rest of the soldiers to rest.

The chief general believed that the eight thousand infantry and cavalry were more than enough to fight against 4,000 Tang cavalry.

but!

The reinforcements of Goguryeo underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Tang army. As soon as the two sides fought, the eight thousand infantry and cavalry were beaten to pieces by the four thousand Tang army shortly after.

Seeing this, the reinforcements of Goguryeo had no choice but to attack.

At this moment, the General of the Right Guard, Qi Bi Heli, was ordered by Li Ji, and led 5,000 infantry and cavalry to raid from the right wing, while the General of the Left Guard, Ashinadur, was ordered by Li Ji, and led thousands of Turkic cavalry to raid from the left wing, which caught Goguryeo reinforcements off guard.

The former army of Goguryeo was suddenly in chaos and was defeated.

The chief general suspected that there were other Tang troops nearby, so he had to withdraw his troops.

If the army is defeated like a mountain, retreating at this time will undoubtedly lead to self-destruction.

Li Daozong, Qibir Heli and Ashinur took the opportunity to lead their troops to chase and kill. After Goguryeo reinforcements evacuated from the battlefield, less than 30,000 troops were left.

After Li Daozong, Qibre Heli and Asunadur defeated the enemy troops who came to support, Li Ji thought of a plan to attack Gaimu City.

The Goguryeo defenders in Gaimu City learned that the army coming to support had been defeated by the Tang army. In addition, they were shocked and began to worry about whether they could still defend Gaimu City.

Although there is enough food in the city, with the bravery of the Tang army and Li Ji's strategy, it will probably not take long to think of a strategy to break the city.

"Report!"

The messenger reported to the city lord guarding the city in Gaimu City.

"The Tang army launched another attack!"

"I ordered the whole army to fight and defend the city gate!" The lord general shouted.

Li Ji ordered a stone throwing cart to attack the city and ordered the archers to shoot arrows.

After a round of throwing stones to attack the city, and a round of flying arrows to attack the city, Li Ji did not order the soldiers to climb the city, nor did he order the soldiers to hit the city gate.

In this way, every half an hour, there will be a round.

Tang Jun's fighting style lasted for three days.

The defenders in Gaimu City were initially surprised by the Tang army's fighting style and gradually got used to it.

From the beginning to the high vigilance, he became accustomed to it, but in the end he thought that the Tang army had no choice but to harass him like this.

The defenders of Gaimu City have become tired and numb.

"Report!"

Another commissar was ordered to report to the chief general of the Gaimu City defender.

"I found that there was a white cloth wrapped in the stone thrown by the Tang army, and there was also a small piece of white cloth tied to the arrows that were shot in."

The commander of the Gaimu City defender frowned, and then ordered the soldiers to present the white cloth.

The messenger presented the two white cloths in his hand to the lord of the city of Gaimu.

One of the white cloths is relatively large, the other one is very small.

The chief general of the Gaimu City defender took two pieces of white cloth and found words written on it.

The text is: Now all the reinforcements sent by Quangai Suwen have been eliminated, Gaimu City has been surrounded by Tang army, and the Tang reinforcements have arrived at Gaimu City, and the Tang army has been under Gaimu City. Gaimu City will not be able to defend Gaimu City for long. If the Gaimu City defenders do not surrender, the day when the Tang army breaks the city, there will be no people and animals in Gaimu City. If the Gaimu City defenders give up resistance as soon as possible, the Tang army will definitely treat all military and civilians well.

The commander of the Gaimu City defender was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him. He tore the white cloth in his hand and threw it on the ground angrily.

The messenger lowered his head and did not dare to show up.

After a while, the chief general of the Gaimu City defender calmed down and asked the messenger with a stern face: "Does the people in the city see the words on these white cloth?"

"Report to the general, there is!" the messenger replied in a hurry.

The face of the chief general of the Gaimu City defender changed and he was silent.

"General, General..."

Sudden!

An anxious cry came from outside the door.

Accompanied by the shouts, several generals rushed in.

The chief general of the Gaimu City defender glanced at the generals and showed dissatisfaction on his face.

"General, there are many such white cloths in the city, with words written on them." One of the generals presented a piece of white cloth in his hand to the chief general of the defender of Gaimu City.

The chief general of the Gaimu City defender took the white cloth and took a look. He found that the content was exactly the same as the one given to him by the messenger.

He frowned and said with a dark face: "I already know this. You are here just in time. I am about to call you and others to discuss this matter."

"This is the enemy's plan to attack the heart, so there is no need to pay attention to it." An older general responded.

"You can't ignore it." A middle-aged general said immediately, "If you are seen by the people in the city, it will cause uneasiness to the people."

"That's right!" a young general echoed, "You must not surrender casually, and you must keep it even if you die!"

The commander of the Guardians in Gaimu City listened to their words and pondered.

After a moment, he frowned and said, "Immediately order the soldiers in the city to put away all the white cloths and not allow the people to circulate each other!"

"As for your order!" the generals responded.

"Order the spies to find out if reinforcements have really arrived in the enemy!"

"Abide by the order!"

"The enemy is now using harassing tactics. The purpose is to paralyze our army. All soldiers are specially ordered to strengthen their defenses to prevent the enemy from attacking the city when our army is relaxed!"

"Abide by the order!"

The chief general of the Gaimu City defender was still very smart and had not been disturbed by the things in front of him.

He tried to stabilize the morale of the army, but the development of things did not proceed as he expected.

Not only did most of the defenders in the city know what was written on the white cloth, but many people also knew it.
