Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

The Bronze Sheep Fort is actually behind the Great Tang army. The Bronze Sheep Fort is about 160 miles away from the Black Bone City, so it is too late to return at this time.

Fortunately, the army is advancing in three routes, so although there are traces left behind, there is no need to care about the traces.

Qibi Heli and the others rode their horses back and forth in these places for countless times, and no one would suspect these traces.

After Li Shiji finished the meeting, the three armies began to return immediately. The other two routes were located in the north-south direction of returning to the Tongyang Fort. The other two armies would arrive directly next to the Tongyang Fort and then enter the forest, cross the mountainous area and arrive near the Tongyang Fort.

Because the official road of Tongyangbao is the closest official road to Liaodong City, taking the other two roads, it would take at least ten days to detour according to the advancing speed of the infantry, which must be unacceptable to the Goguryeo army.

So they must go this way.

The encirclement drawn by Li Shiji is big enough. If there is an attack by a large army, let alone 16, even [-] can probably enter.

And it is easy to hide 10,000+ troops on the surrounding mountains.

Fortunately, they have enough time now. Although heavy ballistas are not easy to carry, then don’t carry them. Archers and medium-sized bed crossbows are enough for the mountains surrounded on all sides.

Three days later, when Hudar led 1000 Goguryeo troops across the Datong River, the Tang army led by Li Shiji had arrived near Tongyang Fort. There were more than [-] people in Tongyang Fort. Li Shiji directly asked the soldiers to move them gone.

Although it is said that this is Goguryeo's own people, after the war, these people will inevitably be killed or injured, so it is better to relocate them directly.As an area ravaged by Tang cavalry, it is reasonable that this small town has already been destroyed, right?

In order to be more realistic, Li Shiji also had people intentionally damage many houses in the city, and then let the horses gallop inside for a few laps, smashing down the city gate, and then they evacuated here and entered the surrounding mountains.

Thirty miles west of Bronze Ram Fort, where the canyon ends, Datang will directly build a line of defense here, and the portable barricade carriages originally used to set up the camp will directly form a simple city wall here, and all the large beds All crossbows will stay behind this wall.

Although the mountains on both sides of this road are not high, they are steep and densely forested. It is impossible to crawl out of the mountains on both sides.

The reason why the defense line was established in this place was also to prepare for the worst, so as to prevent Hudar from jumping over the wall in a hurry and forcibly attacking the front to break through.

At that time, only Qibi Heli's [-] cavalry and about [-] infantry operating bed crossbows will block the opponent's path.

After all, the area left behind in the other directions is too large, and all other soldiers have to surround them from all directions.

Of course, if the plan goes well, Hudar will never find out.

According to the information given by Liu Zhao, although Hudar was brave in battle, he was poor in strategy. He was born in the Xi tribe and also a nomad. He was born to know how to fight, but he didn't read much. able to take on this responsibility.

There are not many excellent generals in Goguryeo. Among them, some generals like Yu Ling and Yuan Gai Suwen are not all the way to defend Silla, and some of the remaining generals have been distributed in various important cities throughout Goguryeo.

So Hudar was already regarded as a trustworthy general under Yuan Gaisuwen.

With his level, it is not easy to see all the arrangements, especially when the time Yuan Gai Suwen gave him is relatively urgent.

Just as Li Shiji guessed, Hudar who finally crossed the river contacted the defender of Black Bone City immediately.

After announcing Yuan Gai Suwen's order, Hudar will lead the [-] cavalry from Black Bone City and his [-] cavalry to form an army of [-] and set off directly.

"General Hudar, the soldiers have been on the road for a few days, and there is only half a day left before dark today. Why don't you just camp outside the city and rest, and wait until tomorrow in the daytime." The guard of Black Bone City Reluctantly, he suggested.

"No, according to General Yuan's order, I have to rush to Liaodong City as quickly as possible. Now we have lost contact with Liaodong City for nearly 20 days. If we continue, once Liaodong City is broken, the entire Liaodong Front will collapse completely. "Hudar directly rejected the other party's suggestion.

"General Hudar, it's not that I don't agree with the journey, but that the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty has shown signs of large-scale assembly recently. If you are tired and rush on the road, you may be directly attacked by the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty who are waiting for work, causing huge losses. "

"Although our scouts can't reach Liaodong City, it's still possible to scout around Black Bone City. The scouts will return soon. If you have to go, wait until you get news from the scouts before setting off." Black Bone City guard Will helplessly said.

It's not that he cares much about Hudar's life and death, but that he and Hudar are now one. If Hudar suffers heavy losses, then Black Bone City will not be far from being breached.

For guards like them, no one knows how Datang will deal with them. If the city is destroyed, they will be killed by Datang. Is it injustice?

"Okay." Hudar thought for a while but didn't refuse.

What the Black Bone City guard said was also true. They only waited for about an hour before the scouts who went out to detect intelligence came.

"To the two generals, we found a large number of Great Tang cavalry gathered at a distance of about twenty miles ahead. We paid the price of three brothers to get the latest information. There are at least [-] Great Tang cavalry gathered there. Around five, all of them are heavy armored cavalry." Several scouts reported with lingering fear.

Fifteen thousand!

"Datang cavalry has never gathered such a large number. It seems that our previous information is correct. Datang has at least [-] cavalry gathered in this area. It seems that Datang has received General Hudar The news that you rushed here probably guessed that you are going to support Liaodong City, so they gathered together to stop your support." The guard of Black Bone City immediately said.

Judging from the current situation, this is the simplest analysis.

People like Hudar who are not good at strategy can roughly analyze it.

"Thank you for your reminder. If it weren't for your reminder, we might have fallen into the enemy's trap, but now it seems that we can't go faster, but this is also good news. It proves that Liaodong City has not yet fallen. , I just don’t know how long they can support.” Hudar nodded and said thanks to the guard of Black Bone City.
