Chapter 1537 Since the General Has Orders
Early the next morning, Huizhen received news that the Tang army opposite had actually begun to withdraw.
Huizhen was a little surprised. They had not started attacking Shacheng yet, so why did Zhao Chen withdraw his troops on his own initiative?
Huizhen couldn't figure it out.
Withdrawal is a good thing for them, but thinking that his previous plan with Hou Junji might have become completely empty with Zhao Chen's withdrawal this time.
Huizhen was a little unsatisfied.
"General, since the Tang army has withdrawn, should we send troops to pursue them?" asked a Goguryeo general and Huizhen.
The generals of Goguryeo thought that they had just stopped Zhao Chen from withdrawing their troops, but now Zhao Chen takes the initiative to withdraw his troops, wouldn’t their previous plan to attack the battlefield be ruined?
"Send troops to pursue?" Huizhen hesitated.
Of course, he wanted to stop Zhao Chen from withdrawing his troops, so that Hou Junji might capture Shacheng.
Once the sand city falls into his own hands, Zhao Chen and others are the lambs to be slaughtered in his own hands.
If he can kill Zhao Chen in the end, it would be a huge contribution.
At that time, even if it is Yuan Gaisuwen, he must be respectful to himself.
Ke Huizhen thought again that if he sent troops to stop Zhao Chen from withdrawing his troops, he would definitely be targeted by Zhao Chen.
With the abilities of these soldiers under his command, I am afraid that I cannot compete with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
If not only does not stop Zhao Chen, but instead loses his troops...
Thinking of this, Huizhen felt a little hesitant.
"General, Shacheng is only less than a hundred miles away from us. If Zhao Chen's army evacuated at full speed, they can return to Shacheng tonight." The general of Goguryeo said again.
Huizhen felt even more embarrassed.
But what the general in front of him said was reasonable. If he didn't take action now, he would have no chance when Zhao Chen returned to Shacheng.
How many roads are there from Shacheng? If Zhao Chen evacuated at full speed, he would return to Shacheng tonight.
How could Huizhen take down the sand city then?
Once the Tang Dynasty reinforcements came to Shacheng, Huizhen would have to be beaten by Zhao Chen.
Thinking of the frustrations he had with these two times before, Huizhen felt a fire rising in her heart.
"I will be ordered by General General and quickly assemble troops to ambush them at the place where the Tang army evacuated." After a long period of silence, Huizhen made up her mind to send troops to ambush Zhao Chen and others.
"In addition, send a message to Hou Junji quickly and ask him to attack Shacheng immediately. We will block Zhao Chen's reinforcements on the road." Huizhen said to the general next to him.
"It's the general." The general of Goguryeo took the order and left.
Huizhen turned around and showed a fierce look on her face.
He must not let Zhao Chen return to Shacheng. At least before Hou Junji conquers Shacheng, he will trap Zhao Chen tightly on the road.
He was embarrassed in front of Zhao Chen before, and this time he would get them all back.
...
Hou Junji was about to set off the camp and set off, and sent troops to attack Shacheng.
But he suddenly received Huizhen's order, saying that Zhao Chen had led his troops to withdraw his troops and asked him to immediately launch an attack on Shacheng.
Hou Junji felt a little strange.
Based on his understanding of Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen is a person who never turns back without hitting the wall.
Unless Shacheng really reaches a critical moment of survival, Zhao Chen will never withdraw his troops and return to the rescue?
But now Huizhen sent him news that Zhao Chen had withdrawn his troops.
This made Hou Junji unexpected.
Could it be that something happened in Shacheng?
Or is it just Zhao Chen who felt that the sand city was in danger, so he immediately withdraws his troops and returns to the aid.
But even though he hadn't taken action yet, where did Zhao Chen come from?
"General Hou, General Hou said that you will immediately send troops to attack Shacheng. General will send someone to block Zhao Chen's reinforcements outside." The general under his command said again.
Hou Junji had no choice but to nod.
Now in this situation, he can only obey Yu Huizhen's orders.
Otherwise, these soldiers under him would not have listened to Hou Junji.
"Since the general has an order, then follow the order." Hou Junji nodded and said.
Since there was a vivid way to stop Zhao Chen from withdrawing his troops, what else could he worry about Hou Junji?
Anyway, I originally planned to attack Shacheng today.
Now this is just to act according to the previous plan.
"You immediately lead 5,000 soldiers to rush to Shacheng quickly, and slaughter all the nearby villages around Shacheng first." Hou Junji said to the Goguryeo general in front of him with a expressionless face.
The Goguryeo general was a little confused.
He didn't quite understand why Hou Junji wanted to attack the people near Shacheng.
Obviously, I just need to attack the sand city.
What's the point of killing those people?
"Those people have been subdued by Zhao Chen. If they go to help the Tang Dynasty defenders when we attack Shacheng, then our siege rhythm will be extended."
"I will even be threatened by them. As for when I can conquer the Sand City, I don't know when it will be."
"They are eliminated to avoid these small effects."
"Why are you still thinking that they were the Goguryeo people before?" Hou Junji explained to the Goguryeo generals, and asked him with a smile.
The generals of Goguryeo heard the teasing in Hou Junji's words.
In order to frame the Tang army, they killed many people in the villages around Shacheng.
At that time, no one was concerned that they were the people of Goguryeo.
At this moment, I have these worries, and no one will believe it if I say it.
"What the general said is that if the subordinates know, then let's do it now." The general of Goguryeo responded.
Looking at the figure of the Goguryeo general who was leaving, Hou Junji smiled.
He didn't expect that Zhao Chen would withdraw his troops voluntarily.
In this way, if Huizhen wants to continue supporting the plan, she must send troops to stop Zhao Chen's withdrawal.
In this way, Hou Junji can implement his plan more perfectly.
Hou Junji led the 20,000 troops from his headquarters to advance towards Shacheng.
The Goguryeo generals under his command divided the five thousand soldiers and slaughtered the people of the villages around the Shacheng.
For a moment, the people from the villages around Shacheng rushed towards Shacheng.
When Xue Rengui got the news, he immediately closed the gate of Shacheng.
He could not confirm whether there were any soldiers made of the Goguryeo people who escaped.
Once you let these people come in, if Hou Junji's subordinates sneak in, then this already fragile sand city will probably be easily compromised.
So for the sake of the safety of Shacheng, Xue Rengui had to make up his mind.
As noon approached, Hou Junji's army was already nearing Shacheng City, and thousands of Goguryeo people were besieged between Shacheng and Hou Junji's army.
"Xue Rengui, since Zhao Chen asked you to stay in Shacheng, you must have some skills. It would be better to send troops out to fight someone in two battles." Hou Junji immediately shouted at the Shacheng Tower.
Xue Rengui ignored Hou Junji's shouts and his eyes fell on the thousands of Goguryeo people below the Shacheng City Tower.
Xue Rengui is in a very difficult situation now.
He also knew that the phenomenon in front of him was Hou Junji who deliberately forced him to do this.
If he did not take in these Goguryeo people, what would the people in the sand city think?
