Turbulent Times Chapter 1108: Dark Chencang
After listening to the opinions of several generals under his command, discussing and finalizing the plan for the future, and listening to everyone report on the preparations in their hands, Wang Junlin said: "The oppression of ordinary people by the nobles of Goguryeo is very serious. We have also been doing nothing wrong with ordinary Goguryeo people, and laid a good foundation. I mean, compared with the local big landlords and gentry, we have to win the support of a larger number of tenants. Let ordinary poor people feel When we want to occupy this place for a long time, we must first announce the permanent abolition of the Ding tax, and divide the fields of the Koguryo nobles who did not surrender to us around Daluo City and Nanyang Village, and let those poor people rent and farm land. The land rent shall not exceed 30% .”
"In short, we must let the poor people see that if they support us, they will have fields to grow, food to eat, and houses to live in. Let those Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers who rely on us believe that even if they die on the battlefield, they The children of the family will also receive pensions, so there is no need to worry about livelihood problems. For those gentry who were forced to surrender to us in Koguryo, we must also be righteous and do a good job of winning and winning over. As long as we occupy these territories, In fact, those who support and support us will no longer pursue any previous responsibilities, and will protect their property. The only request we have from them is to ask them to sell us rice..."
…
…
With the initiative to choose the battlefield, you can gain a strategic advantage at the same time.
Nanyang County of Goguryeo has only 10,000 troops north of Daluo City, but there are three counties that need to be defended. Facing Wang Junlin's troops, apart from sticking to the key cities, there is no way to prevent Wang Junlin's army from entering these three counties territory.
Zhang Tiangang led 500 special forces to fight in small groups in these three counties, distracting the attention of the defenders in the three counties. According to the new plan, Wang Junlin left Luo Chunlai's 5,000 sailors to guard Da Luo City. He led Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, and Yuchi Jingde with 9,000 troops to attack Baishan County in the northwest of Da Luo City.
Baishan County is the shortest and most convenient passage from Daluo City to Annan County City.
So Baishan County is also a key defensive place for Yuangai Suwen, but limited by the overall force, the actual garrison force is actually very limited.
But in order to capture Baishan County with the least cost, Wang Junlin insisted
Ran led the generals to formulate a detailed battle plan.
Yuchi Jingde led 3,000 cavalry to the north of Baishan County before Yuangaisuwen found out the direction of Wang Junlin's initiative, preventing Yuangaisuwen from dispatching reinforcements to strengthen the defense of Baishan County.
In order to confuse Yuan Gai Suwen, he deliberately gave up the road to directly attack Baishan County from Daluo City, and detoured to another military stronghold east of Baishan County.
And Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong led 6,000 lightly armed soldiers, crossed the mountains non-stop, and rushed directly to Baishan County.
Both of them are Jianrui, carrying bows and knives, walking lightly, and traveling very fast. When 6,000 troops entered the territory of Baishan County and could see the city of Baishan County, the smoke in a military fort near Goguryeo was only ignited.
The black plume of smoke lingers in the wind, heading straight into the sky.
When Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong led their troops to Heishe Ridge, an important military stronghold in the south of Baishan County, only a garrison team of more than 300 people hastily climbed up to the head of Hei She Ridge to intercept them.
Obviously, the Goguryeo people in Baishan County mainly defended against the Sui army's attack in neighboring counties, setting up a large number of obstacles there, and deploying defenders. They did not expect that the Sui army had the intention to attack Baishan County farther away from the mountains.
The mountain of Black Snake Ridge is easy and simple. Although it can hinder the passage of large groups of soldiers and horses, it can't stop lightly armed soldiers from crossing over at all.
Seeing that the defenders had hurriedly arrived at the head of the Black Snake Ridge, Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong did not organize their formation, and immediately ordered a thousand troops with relatively complete armor piercing to directly attack the Lingtou from both sides. At this time, it is necessary to compete for speed and time, and not allow the defenders to gain a firm foothold at the top of the ridge, otherwise even if the formation is rectified, the difficulty of attacking will be doubled.
Walk lightly, carry a bow and carry a knife, armor is more light armor, no big shield, big crossbow, and no flying contradictory car, which can block the rain of arrows. Two teams of soldiers and horses approached from both wings with continuous crossbows, standing at a relatively high place, and accurately shot the defenders of Heishe Ridge. He directly raised his hand to protect the front door, and rushed upwards.
More than 300 defenders were in a hurry, and they were panting when they rushed to the top of the mountain. They were mainly recruited from the local village, and they hunted many bows. Seeing the Sui army rushing like wolves and tigers, most of them were weak. Heartbeat, although relying on the advantage of being condescending, he shot arrows hastily, sparsely, and could not form a threatening volley.
When the fast crossbowmen of the Sui army fired dense and dense crossbow bolts from two hundred paces away, the defenders at the head of Heisheling were thrown into chaos. Even if it is to charge forward and rush across the land of an arrow, it will only take twenty breaths. The armored pawns rush up, and Mo Dao's hand is like a murderous weapon under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers. There are also armored soldiers in the defenders, but they cannot cooperate with each other. In combat, no matter how thick the armor is, it can be split by a 14-5-jin Mo knife, and ordinary spears can also be broken by a split...
The defenders at the top of the Black Snake Ridge were defeated, and the armored pawns who were the first to reach the top of the hill were not busy chasing them, but let the fast crossbowmen occupy a favorable position to shoot and kill them. climb up.
The soldiers of the Sui Army carry hemostatic medicine with them, which are packed in small porcelain bottles. Generally, the powder is sprinkled on the wound with a knife, which can stop bleeding and prevent the wound from festering. Wrap it with gauze and continue to fight.
Those who were seriously injured, as long as they were not fatally wounded, were treated and bandaged by the army doctor, and then five people were left to cover and garrison on the spot. The scattered soldiers took it away.
Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong boarded the Black Sheling Army Stronghold and looked over, Baishan County is at the foot of the northwest mountain of Black Sheling. go.
Baishan County deserves to be the largest county in Annan County in Goguryeo. Standing at the head of Black Snake Ridge and looking over, the scale of the city is no smaller than that of Daluo City.
According to the information sent by Shen Guoer, although Baishan County has 3,000 defenders, there are less than 1,000 soldiers.
In addition to leaving 200 people to guard the Black Snake Ridge, Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong did not delay, and immediately led the rest of more than 5,000 lightly armed soldiers down the narrow and winding ridge road. In the south, Guan Xiaotong led his men and horses to bypass Baishan County and storm Dashiling, another mountain military stronghold in the north of Baishan County
The Dashiling mountain is not high, only about ten feet high, but it lies in the north of Baishan County. To avoid Dashiling, you need to go around seven or eight miles of mountain roads to enter Baishan County.
The battle lasted for a stick of incense, and Guan Xiaotong had already captured the outer perimeter of the Dashiling military stronghold, directly sealing the entrance from Annan County City into Baishan County, and breaking the connection between Bai County City and Yuangai Suwen.
