Datang: Rebirth of Li Chengqian, the beginning of the treason interrogation

Chapter 97: Shabeisha City

Tire out the people and make them even weaker, so that they will not be able to rebel within a short period of time.

Two dogs fight, play off.

This was not Li Chengqian's original idea. The scheming Li Er had always used this policy.

The use of it is not so subtle, that is the use of foreign soldiers.

Pei Xingjian, Li Zhen and Li Dejian all felt a little cold. Is this the pattern of a monarch?

As generals, they only thought about how to fight the war beautifully and win a great victory.

The national strength of Baekje and Silla is almost the same. Unless there are any accidents, this reckless fighting style will definitely not be a problem for Pei Xingjian.

"But Li Zhen, Li Dejian, your fighting style is the opposite. You will definitely win a great victory. The navy soldiers are all experienced in hundreds of battles. They are the manifestation of the national strength of the Tang Dynasty. Every loss is a loss for the Tang Dynasty. I hope you can defeat the enemy without fighting."

"When Silla went to war with Baekje, the Xingjian Society made a big noise, forcing Baekje's troops to concentrate all on the Silla border."

The officers and soldiers of the navy were also incorporated into the government troops, and were still famous for their field battles.

"I'll understand later!"

The three said in unison that Li Chengqian's strategic intentions had been made very clear.

"In that case, let's split our forces into two groups. This palace and Pei Xingjian will lead 2,000 personal soldiers to Jincheng and command the Silla Army."

The battle has begun and every second counts.

In Jincheng, Queen Deok-sun convened a court meeting, announced a conscription order, and the whole country went to war.

Galloping horses rushed out of the door.

At the same time, the naval fleet led by Liu Rengui had also arrived at the coastline of Goguryeo.

What comes into view is not a plain, but one towering peak after another.

"Commander Liu, we have been discovered!"

Cheng Chumo stood on the deck, raised his hand with a serious expression and pointed to the mountains, where he saw figures moving around.

This place is called Beisha Mountain. On top of the mountain, there is a huge city called Beisha City. It is built against the mountain and covers an area of ​​about one million square meters. There is only a small path leading to the city gate. It is surrounded by cliffs, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. One man can guard the pass against ten thousand men.

The strategic location of Beisha City is very important. It monitors the entire Liaodong coast. No matter where you want to attack from, you cannot escape its sight.

It is also a stronghold that the navy must eliminate, otherwise they will return empty-handed.

"Park at the shore first!"

Liu Rengui ordered all ships to dock, neither happy nor sad.

"The spies have sent in news. Have they obtained the city defense blueprints for Beisha City?"

After setting up camp, Liu Rengui looked at the generals and asked.

"We have already found out that there are about 10,000 soldiers and civilians in Beisha City. They are building a city wall on the cliff, making it difficult for birds to fly over."

Right Guard General Cheng Mingzhen came out and handed over a blueprint.

Cheng Mingzhen has no relationship with Cheng Zhijie. He was once a general under the hidden Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, and he even killed Liu Heita with his own hands.

Cheng Mingzhen was good at commanding troops and fighting, so he was highly valued by Li Shimin. He often came up with ingenious strategies and defeated the larger enemy with a smaller one. He was also one of the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that he pales in comparison to the brilliance of people like Li Jing, Li Ji, and Li Daozon. If he were placed in other eras, he would also be a key figure.

Liu Rengui took the blueprint and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't think of a plan for a while.

According to intelligence, the road leading to Beisha City is only a winding path that can accommodate only three people at a time. It is suspended in the air on all sides, so a rolling log can solve the problem.

Now that the army has been discovered, and the city of Beisha is well-prepared, it is even more impossible to attack. As time goes on, when the Goguryeo army from other cities comes to surround them, they will have to flee even if they don't want to.

"Do you have any suggestions, generals?" Liu Rengui placed the drawings on the table so that everyone knew the situation.

In field battles, they were not afraid of anyone, but sieges were a bit difficult for them, and there was simply no place to put the siege equipment.

"We can't attack with force, we can only use wits and tactics, and we have to do it quickly, otherwise reinforcements from Goguryeo will arrive."

Cheng Mingzhen said that he was a veteran and if it were not for the interests of his country, he would not be willing to follow Liu Rengui's arrangements.

However, since others were favored by the prince, he had no choice but to do his job well.

"General Cheng, do you have any good ideas?"

Before setting off, Li Chengqian also specifically reminded him that Cheng Mingzhen was wise and good at conquering cities and territories, and that he could be trusted.

"When it was dark, he led his troops to climb up the mountain by chiseling along the steep cliffs."

Cheng Mingzhen said.

It is already a cliff, and climbing it at dark can only be imagined how dangerous it is.

"Now we should actually take risky tactics to break through Beisha City. I think this plan is feasible." Liu Rengui has a unique vision of war and nodded in approval.

The remaining generals also held their breath, because they could not think of a better way than this.

"Since no one objects, then we will follow General Cheng's plan. Is there any general willing to go and make a contribution this time?"

Liu Rengui glanced at everyone. This was undoubtedly a life-threatening mission.

You must not bring too many people, otherwise you will alert the enemy.

But it was extremely dangerous for only a few hundred people to break into a dangerous city with nearly ten thousand subjects.

On the premise of not being killed by the fall, you must have the combat power and courage to fight ten people alone.

"I am willing to go and take over Beisha City at dawn tomorrow." Cheng Chumo immediately stood up. Perhaps this was the result of a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger, full of confidence.

"The strategy was thought up by me, and it is most appropriate for me to execute it in the future."

Cheng Mingzhen also said that he was full of confidence in his strategy and believed it would succeed, so he could not give up such an opportunity to establish merit.

"The two generals will go together. General Cheng Mingzhen will be the chief commander and General Cheng Chumo will be the deputy commander. Go to the army immediately and select soldiers who are good at climbing."

"When it gets dark, I will try every possible way to make some noise to attract the attention of the defenders of Beisha City."

Liu Rengui made a prompt decision and gave the order.

"promise!"

Cheng Mingzhen and Cheng Chumo bowed and stepped back, and immediately went to the army to select soldiers.

As night fell, a special team of about 500 people was formed.

"Eat more, so you can have the strength to climb the mountain later and kill the enemy at night."

Cheng Chumo grabbed a large piece of mutton jerky and started chewing it, which greatly replenished his physical strength.

This might be the last meal for the soldiers. Except for those who were a little more courageous like Cheng Chumo, the other soldiers kept silent and ate the mutton jerky with all their might. This was considered a good meal before leaving.

"What, are you scared?"

Cheng Chumo walked to the side, looked at the young face and asked, "This child is only fifteen or sixteen years old."
