Turbulent Times Chapter 1099: Overall plan

(Thank you very much for ‘Feng Mu Chun Jiang’, ‘Weird Coffee II’, ‘Smoldering Pot’ for their generous support and monthly ticket support, I wish you all a happy holiday.)

But it’s different now. If Yang Guang suffers a defeat, Wang Junlin’s side may be Yang Guang’s last fig leaf. At that time, no matter what he thinks about the official position and the army he forms, Yang Guang will only know what to do. Admit it, and it will be officially rewarded.

For Wang Junlin, the most difficult thing is how to hide his own system under the imperial system. Correspondingly, every officer will have two identities, one is the military position of the imperial court, and the other is the internal system. duty. After the Goguryeo war, the local officials in Fanyang County will somewhat notice the difference, but the civil strife in the Sui Dynasty will inevitably become more serious, and Yang Guang and the court will no longer be able to control Fanyang County.

Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong knew that the siege of the city was mainly their business. After the two discussed it, they rode over together and saluted Wang Junlin. Yubu, Goguryeo and the auxiliary soldiers only have 5,000 people, and each side has more than 1,000 people, but we only have more than 15,000 people, and the attacking side of the siege needs at least five times the strength of the defending side. Therefore, I suggest that you restrain both sides and attack one side by force.”

Wang Junlin thought for a while, nodded and said: “Okay, just do as you said, you two can go to prepare, and attack the city tomorrow.”

At this moment, Luo Chunlai came over and said, “My lord, we have captured more than a thousand auxiliary soldiers, what should we do with them?”

Wang Junlin looked at the Goguryeo soldiers on the top of the wall and said with a smile: “As the generals who lead the army, in addition to doing our best to win the victory, we must also try our best to reduce the casualties of the deployment. Naturally, these Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers cannot be let They eat our food for nothing.”

After a pause, Wang Junlin continued: “I remember that in the Battle of Baengling Island, these Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers were very good at making shield chariots, and they were good at using shield chariots. Let some of them start making them right away, The things to make holes are also ready, let them push the shield cart to dig the city wall tomorrow. Tell them, whoever builds the shield cart will push it himself, as long as they survive this war, they don’t need to be auxiliary soldiers anymore, I can Give them fields and become real people. Other auxiliary soldiers will distribute armor and weapons to them, let them attack the city first, and those who survive will be given double fields to the auxiliary soldiers who push the shield and chariot, and also become real people.”

Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong looked at each other, and said in unison: “The humble job will definitely break the city tomorrow.”

That night Wang Junlin ordered three lanterns to be hung high above the central military position, and they were not covered with black cloth. It seemed that they looked down on the Goguryeo soldiers in Daluo City. I don’t know how many people are actually around. Those Goguryeo soldiers The auxiliary soldiers worked all night lighting torches, and under the command of the craftsmen brought by Wang Junlin’s side, they built shield vehicles and various ladders. However, the Koguryo army in Daluo City did not harass them at night, and they lived in peace until dawn.

In the early morning of the second day, drums sounded continuously in Wang Junlin’s camp, and soldiers lined up neatly came out of the camp one after another, forming an array one mile away from the city wall.

A dark group of people sat outside the camp in the north. There were more than a thousand people in total. They were divided into fifty small groups and sat on the ground. Steam cake, hearing the movement behind, looked around and looked at the giant trebuchets that were pushing past.

These are more than a thousand Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers mobilized by coercion and lure yesterday. These people are actually very experienced in combat. They have no good feelings for the Goguryeo government and the court, only hatred.

In their eyes, this group of Sui soldiers was strong and well-equipped, their actions were uniform, and their marching was also very powerful, which was completely different from their Goguryeo soldiers. Although they couldn’t tell what it was like, they knew that they were a rare strong army, and they were very confident in their actions, as if they didn’t take the battle with Goguryeo seriously.

So these auxiliary soldiers who were like slaves in Goguryeo thought that they might be able to easily capture Daluo City. With the examples of Bailing Island and Nanyang Village, they believed in Wang Junlin’s promise, and only thought about it. Fight hard today, as long as you survive, you will be able to officially break away from the status of a slave like an auxiliary soldier. As for being a commoner for the Sui people, or for the officials and lords of Goguryeo, they don’t care.

Hu Gouzi is a commander of a hundred people under Guan Xiaotong’s command, and he was also the one who was selected to learn Goguryeo the best in the early stage. At this time, he walked up to the thousand Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers and began to tell these people in detail They waited for something to do, and a group of people in front of them were dressed in tatters and thin, with some expectations in their numb expressions. They sat on the ground and stared at Hu Gouzi curiously, feeling very curious about what he said.

When Hu Gouzi saw their black faces and strand-like hair, he suddenly remembered that he was like this when he was a salt slave in the salt field of Fanyang County more than a year ago. It was not until the appearance of the prefect that his life changed.

The Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers in front of them are obviously fighting with blood and bravery. Their bodies are thin and their combat skills are mediocre. Let one less of them die!

“What you are going to do…” Hu Gouzi said loudly: “Part of it is to push the shield car under the city to dig a hole, and part of it is to climb the ladder to the city wall. When ascending the city, our long-range attack will support you from the bottom of the city. There are 6,000 of us, as long as you occupy a small section of the city wall, the soldiers behind will rush up. Then you attack the tower with us, and then open the city gate, don’t run around, and remember to attack the city The door…”

A quarter of an hour later, twenty giant trebuchets started roaring at the same time. The three catty stone bullets had little damage to the city wall. The blow to human morale is very big.

Dozens of shield chariots creaked slowly towards the south gate, and they were driven by more than two hundred Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers.

These shields

There is no uniform system for the chariot, Wang Junlin asked them to order them, and these people knew when they made it, whoever made the shield chariot would push it by themselves, so the auxiliary soldiers did not dare to be sloppy in working overtime, and played their own With his ingenuity, he came up with countless reinforcement methods to give himself a little more chance of survival. The most creative one even spread a layer of soil on it.

But what they didn’t expect was that the strongest shield vehicles were arranged in the front row, and the weaker ones were arranged in the back row, which served as cover for the Sui crossbowmen, and the danger was greatly reduced.

This incident told them a truth, sometimes they don’t understand the purpose, and it’s not a good thing to be too serious.
