Turbulent Times Chapter 1069: Different offensive and defensive battles (4)

"Even if Yuangai Suwen is a dragon among men, Goguryeo's army can be called an elite army, but in front of this defensive position, no matter how you fight, they should not be able to beat us, because this is not only the difference in weapons and equipment, but also It's the gap in tactical concepts." Wang Junlin witnessed two tragic offensive and defensive battles, and saw that the trench defense tactics developed for the advantage of long-range attacks had withstood the test, he was secretly relieved, and said with a faint smile.

At the same time, on the Bailing city wall, Liu Yidong also let out a long breath. Although he had prepared extremely well in advance, he was under a lot of pressure and was very nervous, because he was also the first to use this method of defense. The first time I saw it, although I have great confidence in the prefect, but without verification, my heart is always suspended.

"My lord, in fact our Omi Island is more fully prepared, but I mobilized everyone to sum up and research 37 kinds of traps, all of which were laid in the trenches." After making great achievements, I couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"What are you envious of? You have done a lot in the water battle the day before yesterday." Wang Junlin cursed with a smile.

Luo Chunlai smiled, but said nothing.

"My lord, I always feel that the Goguryeo army has not yet exerted its strength, and the few attacks now are just probing, or trying to fill up the potholes." Yang Kongchan couldn't help but also said.

Wang Junlin nodded and said: "That's right, Yuan Gai Suwen did not attack with all his strength."

After a pause, Wang Junlin said again: "Maybe the Goguryeo people will attack at night, Yuan Gai Suwen must not be underestimated."

While talking, Wang Junlin noticed with binoculars that two or three thousand people took out shovels and hoes, and began to dig those holes again. Some even picked up the soil, so as not to be used by Goguryeo again. , This is the benefit of controlling the battlefield. The battlefield is always under the control of Wang Junlin's long-range attack.

As long as Goguryeo cannot be attacked once, Liu Yidong will send more than 5,000 people in the city to dig the pit. In this way, nearly a thousand people died in vain in Goguryeo, and everything was restored to its original state.

These people are actually refugees transported from the Sui Dynasty twice, and now they have naturally become the people of Bailing Island.

Wang Junlin looked through the binoculars again. The Goguryeo soldiers on the opposite side were all evacuating. Wang Junlin said to Zhang Tiangang next to him: "Send a message to Liu Yidong in Bailing City and ask him to erect my flag in Bailing City. .”

Soon the sea eagle soared into the sky and landed on the top of Bailing City, and then Wang Junlin's flag rose, fluttering in the sea breeze.

Wang Junlin stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the Goguryeo army formation from afar. He squinted his eyes and said with a low laugh, "Yuan Gai Suwen, I just want you to think that I am in the city. Hatred must be desperate."

…

…

Late at night.

The ear-piercing sound of piercing the air was heard, the stone catapults were constantly waving on the earth wall, and the long-range crossbows were constantly firing. Some people even threw torches from the Lanma ditch, and the Goguryeo soldiers reflected in the figure were captured by Wang Junlin in the Lanma ditch. Soldiers shoot.

Wang Junlin's soldiers shouted from the western hillside. Several torches were raised, somersaulting in the air and falling towards the mountainside. Hundreds of elite Goguryeo soldiers hid quietly in the darkness, no one spoke.

This is a small highland on the hillside to the west of Bailing City. In fact, Yuan Gai Suwen has been paying attention to this place, but he let it go after deliberately probing, hoping to make Wang Junlin's defenders on this hillside relax their vigilance.

The 20 trebuchets on the hillside here shoot at the bottom of the mountain every day. Each of them fires nearly a hundred stone bombs every day, and the projectiles on the top of the mountain are farther away, so that the Goguryeo soldiers had to extend the camp to the north. Being able to conquer the western hillside, Yuan Gaisuwen can observe Wang Junlin's defense and mobilization from the top of the hill, and the camp doesn't have to be so far away.

It is almost impossible to capture this mountain during the day, and tonight's night attack will be placed on these Goguryeo elites who can travel at night. There are some of Yuan Gai Suwen's personal soldiers.

Of course there will also be sneak attacks below the hillside, but no matter how lively the fighting is under the hillside, the hundreds of elite Koguryo high schools hidden in the hillside will not be moved.

Li Zhouyu was one of the hundreds of Goguryeo people. After seeing the general who was leading the team make a gesture, he immediately bent his body and trot up for a while, but suddenly felt pain in his feet. Li Zhouyu knew that he had stepped on the iron. Tribulus, he resisted the pain, pulled out the four-pointed tribulus, then stopped and listened to the movement around him. This place was only 20 steps away from the first trench of the Sui people. After making sure that he was not exposed, he began to grope. Get rid of other caltrops in the ground.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a dog barking from above his head in front of him, and Li Zhouyu barked inwardly. Unexpectedly, the Sui people even used dogs.

But he didn't know that Wang Junlin specially trained a group of hounds with extremely sensitive senses of smell and hearing and extremely human nature in the salt field of Fanyang County in Sui Dynasty. Ling Island sent twenty of them.

After the sound of the dog barking, several fires rose immediately on the hillside, and a soldier from Wang Junlin's side roared, and those sparks flew into the sky, Li Zhouyu thought it was a cupping pot, and immediately lay down on the ground, who Knowing that it was a torch, it fell from Li Zhouyu's side to the hillside.

"What kind of torch is this?" Li Zhouyu wondered inwardly.

The torch was still coming, not only to illuminate all the way, but also to expose the Goguryeo soldiers who touched it, and it didn't go out after falling on the ground, so Li Zhouyu was exposed in the dark.

The soldiers defending above roared angrily, a row of crossbow arrows shot over immediately, and more torches were thrown down. Li Zhouyu knew that the other party saw them by the light of the fire, and it was completely beyond his authority to continue attacking. At this moment, a horn sounded from behind, and he felt a chill in his heart. This was an order to charge.

All the Goguryeo soldiers who attacked the western hillside shouted in unison and rushed up the mountain like a tide. The point they attacked was the top of an acute angle.

"Why do you want to rush? If you rush up now, you will die." Li Zhouyu yelled in his heart, full of despair. The thirty steps ahead may be full of traps, and it is the most dangerous section, but at night he couldn't see where the traps were. He was injured on his foot, and he didn't want to rush to die, so he gritted his teeth and rolled away. Let the people behind pass, and after this rolling, he was hit by a few barbed thorns that he didn't get rid of.

The dense crowd rushed past Li Zhouyu, and the specially made torches were dropped on the mountain again and again, illuminating the figures of Goguryeo soldiers. The roar of Wang Junlin's side sounded from the top of the mountain, and they also began to call for reinforcements here.
