C287 (2/2)
”That's what I'm worried about.” Gao An waved his hands at everyone, his expression grave as he said, ”If we were to forcefully attack Dian Na Yan Wang City, our casualties would be severe, and we might not even make it out alive. That's why I want you all to think of a way to take down the Dian Na Yan Wang City with the least amount of casualties. ”
”Lord Commander, since even the God of Heaven was willing to help the Han army, why not ask the God of Heaven for help again by destroying the Dian Na Yan Wang City?” One of the centurion who was called Gao Xuan suddenly remembered the earth-shattering explosion and spoke with a pious expression.
”What rubbish!” If there is a God of Heaven, what do we have to do? The God of Heaven was not the personal power of the Lord General, he came and went as he pleased? Unless absolutely necessary, he will not easily show himself. ” Gao An glared at Gao Xuan and said unhappily: ”However, Military Advisor has already said that we are only given a month's time. If we cannot break through, the other large teams will attack.”
”One month?” Cui Yuan stood up and walked a few steps, his eyes suddenly lit up, his face revealed a pleased smile, he turned his head and said to Gao An: ”Lord Commander, I understand what you mean.”
”What do you mean?” Gao An was confused, although he had some martial arts skills, he did not like to think. Regarding the Zhang Banxian's arrangements, he did not feel that anything was amiss.
”Although there are some people from the Han Army, such as Le Lang, Morvo and Dong Su He, they should try their best to finish the battle quickly. But why give us a month? ” Cui Yuan smiled, then said mysteriously: ”The Military Advisor's arrangement is not for us to take over the Wei Na Yan Cheng, but for us to attack the city and bring the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince back from the north and west to gather and kill them.”
”Makes sense. Makes sense.” Gao An immediately nodded his head and said excitedly: ”Currently, Third Prince, Fifth Prince and Han Army are at a stalemate and are unable to break it. But if the Imperial City was in danger, no matter if they were here to save him or to retreat, they would still fall into her trap. The Lord General's several hundred thousand cavalrymen will pounce on them, the two princes will definitely be killed. ”
”Lord Commander is right.” Cui Cheng returned to his seat and said indifferently, ”When the Lord General annihilates the two princes, he will return to attack the Imperial City. At that time, all our efforts will be in vain.”
In a short period of time, a few centurion s were stunned there. Just a moment ago, they were still worried about the number of casualties, but now they knew, Lord General did not allow them to attack the city with their lives.
”Lord Commander, I have an idea.” At this time, centurion, who had not spoken all this while, stood up. ”Didn't Military Advisor order us to attack the city? We can't do this for nothing. Tomorrow, I will sneak into the Wei Na Yan Cheng and find a few generals of the Imperial Guard. Once the two princes are destroyed, let them open the gates. This way, since the Lord General has eliminated two princes, we have also captured the Wei Na Yan Cheng. ”
”Good idea.” Gao An excitedly struck the table with his arm as he shouted loudly in joy. Others might not know, but he was clear in his heart that Li Ping's uncle was the Gaoguanli's Li Kuan. If he sneaked into the city, he would definitely be able to open the gates.
Although the Han army was suppressing the territory, Dian Na Yan Wang City's hundred years of life were still the same, and did not seem to be too affected. Shops and restaurants were still open for business, and the sound of hawking could still be heard. Even those who were performing on the streets were loudly shouting.
However, the bustling scene could not hide the panic on everyone's faces. Whether they were pedestrians or merchants, they did not have a smile on their faces. Instead, their eyes were looking towards the south, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Everyone knew that if the Han army wanted to attack the city, the only direction was the south gate wall.
The King Gaolong Gaolimu Gaolimu was also very confident. It was just that he closed the two southern gates and two East Gate s who were facing the Korean Army Base Camp, while the other two North Gate s were still open, allowing the citizens to freely enter and exit. It was just that the investigation was very strict, preventing the Han army's exorcism from sneaking into the city.
The ones defending the Dian Na Yan Wang City were the elites of the thirty thousand Gaoguanli s. They did not even mobilize their citizens to go up to the city. Instead, they concentrated their forces on the south gate's wall, with only a few sentries placed on the other three sides. Ever since the Wei Na Yan Cheng was built, no one had ever attacked from three other sides.
In the morning, centurion Li Ping, who was working under Gao An, disguised himself as a gongzi and brought two servants to the North Gate. In fact, Li Ping was the son of a tribe leader in the first place. The King Koguryo abolished the Tribal Alliance, and just like the Darky Court's system of centralization of authority and system of provinces and counties, they abolished the privileges of the tribe leaders, making their Li Family a county magistrate.
Many of his soldiers were his family's tenants, his servants, and some were the people of their county. After the Han Chinese attacked the Gaoguanli, it was a paper order from the King Gaolong Gaolimu Gaolimu that he brought the young and strong to join Gao An's army.
One of the soldiers even helped Li Ping to ride on his horse. With a smile on his face, he flattered the general, ”May I ask for Young Noble's name so that we can inform the city gates?”
