”Plop …”
”Plop …”
Before the rider finished shouting, many soldiers behind Yan Liang had already fallen off their horses. They were too tired. They had been holding on due to nervousness, and the moment they found out that they were safe, their tensed breaths would immediately dissipate. Some of the cavalrymen had even fallen asleep on the ground.
Even Yan Liang and Wu Dun let out a long sigh of relief as smiles appeared on their faces. They had wanted to jump down from the horses, but unexpectedly, their bodies swayed and they fell from their horses, falling into the snow. Yan Liang was too lazy to stand up, he just leaned on the horse's leg and started snoring.
After the eastern army led by Yang Lin joined forces with the southern army led by Yan Liang and Yan Liang, they did not linger any further. After a short rest, they formed an army and charged majestically towards Imperial City's Captain Yan.
The moment he saw Yang Lin, Yan Liang immediately knelt on the ground and sorrowfully reported on his rash advances. He had been caught in an ambush and had fallen into the heavy encirclement of the Gaoguellian, resulting in the loss of more than half of the cavalry brigade s.
Looking at the exhausted Yan Liang and his cavalry brigade, Yang Lin could not bear to punish them. But thinking about the thousands of dead Korean Army Soldiers, Yang Lin felt even worse. However, he had no choice but to give everyone an explanation in order to remove Yan Liang from his post and reduce him to a general. He also ordered him to perform meritorious deeds before the battle and perform the reward.
Afterwards, Wen Chou rushed over and led to lock up the ten thousand Gaogueli's apoplexy s led by Han Yong in the valley. After half a day of fighting, they managed to kill Han Yong and captured over ten thousand Gaoguanli soldiers.
Yang Lin ordered Sun Guan and the rest of his troops to return to the Tianjin River. On one hand, they were to establish the Tianjin River County, and on the other, they were to rebuild their cavalry brigade. At the same time, he transferred Song Xiang and Yin Li, who were guarding the Shouliushan, to Ensign Gu Yan and took part in the battle against the Wei Na Yan Cheng.
In just a day's time, Yang Lin's army had arrived at the Wei Na Yan Cheng. Ten kilometers east of the Wei Na Yan Cheng and the internal city, Yang Lin had set up a camp and happened to form a triangle with the Wei Na Yan Cheng and the internal city. It could attack two cities while preventing the two cities from attacking from both sides.
Yang Lin was not in a hurry to attack Wei Na Yan Cheng and the inner city, but after resting for a day, he ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou to bring a cavalry brigade to monitor the inner city. He himself brought a cavalry brigade to check on the place, and at the same time ordered Qin Wu and Qin Yong to lead the other Sahul cavalry to prepare to support each other.
Although he had a lot of knowledge about the situation in the Wei Na Yan Cheng, when Yang Lin saw the Wei Na Yan Cheng with his own eyes, he was still praising the ancestors of the Gaoguellian for choosing this place. It could be said that the Gaoguellian had made full use of the steep mountains, the walls of the city surrounded by precipitous cliffs, and the walls of the city were built on the mountain.
”No wonder the great army of Gaoguanli was sent to the border and only left over fifty thousand soldiers to guard the Imperial City. It turns out that the Wei Na Yan Cheng was built on a cliff so it's easy to defend but hard to attack.” The Zhang Banxian pointed to the city wall not far away and laughed: ”Hehe … Lord General, looks like we have to use our Thunderbolt Bomb s again to destroy Wei Na Yan Cheng. ”
”I don't think so.” Tian Hao shook his head and said thoughtfully: ”We now have the Thunderbolt Bomb, conquering Wei Na Yan Cheng is a piece of cake. However, after we attack the Wei Na Yan Cheng, the armies of the north and the west will definitely escape to the deep mountains, which will bring us even more trouble. Therefore, I thought that we should just surround the city and support them. Once we eliminated the Third Prince s and the Fifth Prince s, it wouldn't be too late to take over the Wei Na Yan Cheng s. ”
Tian Xuan's words immediately made Yang Lin recall the many battles against Gaoguanli in the past. From the Wei Dynasty of Cao Cao to the Sui and Tang dynasties, they conquered the Gaoguanli and took over the capital city of the Gaoguanli many times. However, all of them allowed the Koguchi royal family to escape.
Our goal is to eliminate the life force of the Gaoguellian. This time, we cannot let a single Koguchi royal family slip us off. ” Yang Lin nodded his head and said with certainty: ”Once Third Prince and Fifth Prince know that they are surrounded, they will definitely come back to save us. We will send reinforcements from the city.”
”Lord General, since we are going to encircle the city and provide reinforcements, we have to create a sound attack. Otherwise, the two princes might not come back to provide reinforcements.” The Zhang Banxian laughed strangely and said coldly: ”We don't need Thunderbolt Bomb to attack the city, let the captives of the Gaoguanli attack the city, they are even more effective than Thunderbolt Bomb.”
Yang Lin immediately understood what the Zhang Banxian meant. Not only did he use up the Gaoguanli's captives, he also used up the Gauzeli soldier. Along the way, Zhang Banxian was complaining that the captives used up a lot of food. He finally found a way to deal with them.
”I'll leave this mission to the two of you. One will attack the Wei Na Yan Cheng, while the other will attack the city. Besides the cavalry, I'll hand over all the captives and foot soldiers to you.” Since you have come up with the idea, you can carry it out. However, Yang Lin still explained: ”Just bluffing, don't cause too many casualties, I still have some people that I can use. Furthermore, if those captives were to attack the Imperial City, those two princes would probably run away. ”
