Chapter 383 Unexpected Fortified City

Goguryeo people from Shicheng are not easy to fight!
Guo Daifeng and Gao Kan supported his two Zhechong mansions and trapped the Shicheng reinforcements in a valley. Two days later, they still haven't taken it down.

I heard there were heavy casualties.

Especially these Goguryeo people still have [-] armored horses. This thing is very annoying. There is a barbed iron chain between the armored horses. If it wasn't for the help of the sliding bed crossbow, it would probably be run away by these Goguryeo people.

It's been two days and the fighting there is still going on.

More and more reinforcements were sent, and it is said that the number has more than doubled that of the Goguryeo people.

The Tang army has always fought more with less, and it is only one-on-one when encountering powerful ones. This has almost formed the law of the Tang army's combat.

Facing the reinforcements from Shicheng this time, it was really disappointing that they couldn't take it down for a long time.

This is a fully armored army, which means that the infantry also wear iron armor instead of leather armor.

Therefore, Yunchu felt that without gunpowder, he would end up in the same way, and he would not be much better than Guo Daifeng.

Until now, Yunchu still doesn't understand what Li Ji's strategy is. He obviously has gunpowder in his hand, but he doesn't use it, and he doesn't know what he is waiting for.

When encountering this kind of fully armored army, throw some thunderbolts into the crowd, even if they can't kill them, they can knock them out, and then send people up to hold them down, and these iron bastards can't turn over.

On the third day, Liu Rengui's men came and took away all the trophies of Yunchu's army. The whole army watched their belongings being taken away in a carriage, very reluctant to part with them.

On the fourth day, Guo Daifeng returned with an army, and he finally gnawed down the hard bone of Goguryeo Stone City reinforcements.

However, when Yun Chu congratulated him, Guo Daifeng didn't show any joy on his face, and the head of the family who had been by his side disappeared without a trace.

The combat exploits are still very prominent, with more than three thousand battles...

Before Yunchu heard how many battles a certain general had cut, he would only feel honored, but now hearing the word "cut" made his teeth ache.

The more the number of cuts, the more it proves that the battle is more tragic. When the two armies are at war, there is only the reason that you are allowed to kill me, and I am not allowed to kill you. They are all raised by their fathers and mothers. Well, no one is born with a body that is invulnerable to swords and guns. It will break and bleed when cut with a knife.

"Shicheng, I won't argue with you anymore."

Guo Daifeng said this while riding a horse, probably because he was sitting high and the wind was strong outside, causing sand to get into his eyes, making his eye sockets red.

"The elite of Shicheng has been almost killed by you in the field battle. Now Shicheng is just an empty shell, which can be broken with a few hits of a hammer. It would be a pity to give up at this time.

I won't compete with you for Stone City, after all, this is also part of your contribution, don't regret it. "

The sad Guo Daifeng roared angrily: "Do you still want to see my jokes? You who came down from the Western Regions, everyone thinks that my Guo family is sorry for you. Have you ever thought about my family? My father and brother died in battle Kucha City, what else do you want, will you be satisfied watching me die in battle again?"

Yun Chu originally wanted to persuade him, but when he saw Gao Kan riding a horse with a gloomy expression, he stepped forward to salute.

"From tomorrow onwards, you will be a former soldier."

After Gao Kan issued the military order non-stop, he left. Yunchu looked at the sad Guo Daifeng and said, "You have to get rid of these useless emotions. I really think it's not difficult to break Stone City!"

"Then you go and break it. I'm here to congratulate you in advance." Guo Daifeng said a few perfunctory words to Yunchu weakly, and then left.

At the same time, there was also a group of generals and captains who followed Guo Daifeng from the battlefield. They also looked at Yunchu very strangely, and felt that Yunchu was continuing to deceive Guo Daifeng.

Looking at their backs, Yun Chu shouted, "Have your brains been eaten by dogs?

There are only so many armored troops in the entire Goguryeo. You have killed 5000 people in Liaodong. Shicheng is now an empty city. Can't you think of it? "

A general with his left arm hanging on his chest looked back at Yun Chu and said, "Since that's the case, the great achievement of conquering Stone City will be handed over to County Magistrate Yun."

"Is it really isolated?" Ruan Wen walked over with a limp, his injury was almost healed, and according to the medical worker, there was no serious problem, at most there would be an extra dent on his buttocks in the future.

Yunchu turned his head and looked at Rourou: "Why is no one listening when you tell the truth?"

Gentlely said: "It's too miserable. In the battle of Luanshigou, Datang and Goguryeo fought one-for-one. The loss was heavy."

Yun Chu said: "That's a Goguryeo full-armored soldier, the elite of Goguryeo's elite, it's hard to beat like this."

Gentle sighed: "This is the problem. Over the years, the Datang army has formed a habit of fighting more with less. This time, it is a one-for-one exchange of more and less. No one will accept it. Let alone Those of us in front of the army cannot accept it, and even the civil servants in Chang'an will definitely not accept it.

You see, this battle will definitely form a questioning of Gao Kan and accountability of Guo Daifeng after the war.

That's why they people are so unhappy. "

Yun Chu said: "Since I don't want any credit, this time, I really have to attack this stone city."

"Let's add armor pieces to the jumping soldiers. We still have a lot of armor pieces from Yincheng, so we can use them all."

Stone City, as the name suggests, is a stone castle. Like Beifeng City, it is the backbone castle on this land, but Beifeng City is more like a grain distribution center, while Stone City is a pure military fortress.

Yunchu learned from Jin Dacheng's mouth that the guard of this city is Jiang Taiyu, Yuan Gai Suwen's younger brother.

Beisha, Beifeng, Pingguo, Jili, Jian'an, which had been conquered by Yunchu, and Yincheng were all controlled by this person, and he was the real governor of Goguryeo.

Shicheng hides in the mountain depression.The city is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the city wall is surrounded by the mountains. All of them are made of artificial hewn stones, built with wedge-shaped granite blocks, and built among the cliffs.

The city wall is about sixteen miles long, with four gates in the east, west, south and north, and the city wall is as high as three feet.

It is definitely a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Such a place, if placed in Yunchu's life before, would definitely be a good place to visit.

At that time, you can chat with your friends about how to attack this city and how to defend this city.

Now, he needs to take the troops to conquer the city, which is very embarrassing.

Although what Yunchu told Guo Daifeng was the truth, even if there were no full-armored soldiers, the large-scale defense equipment here must be complete.

As he said, this stone city is a hard shell, but how to crack this hard shell is a problem.

No wonder whether it is Gao Kan, Guo Daifeng, or the generals, they are all afraid of this city.

"General, I heard that there is a mountain road in the back of Weishan Mountain, which can enter Shicheng. How about we try it?"

After hearing Jin Dacheng's words, Yunchu cheered up and said, "Quickly tell me, how did you know this road?"

Jin Dacheng said: "This road is actually a ghost road."

"What do ghost paths mean?"

"It means that you can only go at night, not during the day. The most important thing in Shicheng is salt. The salt here supplies the entire Liaodong. The salt people cook salt by the sea, and then send it to Shicheng. From Shicheng, it is sent to various places in Liaodong, even Hebei. There is also a lot of salt that comes from Shicheng.

Goguryeo is the same as Datang, salt is also sold by the government, and the price of the salt sold by the government is very high, so there are many private salt dealers. Out of the city gate.

The young one is in charge of the grain and fodder in Beifeng City. Salt is too expensive, so it is inevitable to deal with some private salt dealers. Only then did I learn that there is such a road. "

When Yun Chu heard Jin Dacheng finished speaking, he exchanged a glance with Wen Rou, and shook his head gently, Yun Chu also sighed and said: "The private salt comes from the government, and the ghost road also comes from the intentional opening of the government's interests.

Once the army approached the city gate, all the openings in Shicheng would be tightened immediately. The previous convenient road would become a dead end at this time. It seemed that a surprise attack on this road would not work. "

After letting Jin Dacheng leave, Yunchu said to Rourou: "It seems that the only way is to attack by force."

Gentlely said: "There is no unparalleled road. Let's go to Shicheng to have a look. I don't believe that there is a strong city that cannot be conquered in this world."

Yun Chu also knew that it was too early to start worrying now, and he could make a decision after actually seeing the stone city.

Just after dawn, the Yunchu tribe had already pulled out their camp and headed north. As a former army, it was natural to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water.

Most of the land here is a plain, and there are many villages, but the villages have long been empty.

Yun Chu went in to check and found that the people here were still leaving in a hurry, and the evacuation time would not exceed two days.

Yunchu intentionally made the army behave sluggishly, hoping that there would be a surprise attack from Goguryeo.

As a result, no one was fooled, and they ran very thoroughly.

Since Shicheng is a military city, it is impossible for them to let these people enter the city during the war. So, where did so many Goguryeo people go?Yunchu thinks this is a very interesting topic.

Since there is doubt, it is natural to ask for proof. Yang Jing and the three brothers of the Wang family left the army with their non-slave regiment, and searched for those escaped Goguryeo people on the plains and hills.

There are still many empty military strongholds along the way, and the people inside should have entered the stone city, which proved the empty status of the stone city inferred by Yunchu from the side.

Yun Chubu walked to the south gate of Shicheng without any surprise or danger.

Looking at the tall city walls and towering towers, Yunchu's mouth turned bitter. This was the first time he faced the mighty city of Goguryeo.

Thinking of what I said to Guo Daifeng, it sounded very ironic at this moment, and it seemed that I was really trying to trick that poor Guo Daifeng to continue to be stupid and take the lives of his subordinates to fight Shicheng.
