It was finally dawning.

Gao Yincheng, who had only slept for half a night, was awakened by the exclamation outside the camp. After he got up from the felt blanket, he was furious: "The army must not make noise, can't even defend this rule?"

The personal soldiers outside came in and their faces were strange: "Koroda, it was Lou Xiao's subordinates who were making noise."

But Luoda was also an official position in the former Goguryeo Dynasty, equivalent to the chief of the Secretariat. Gao Yincheng murmured, and these tribal chiefs were really muddy and could not get on the wall. Then he asked again: "Why are you making noise?"

"The Tang people... built an ice path." The personal soldier said with fear.

"Bingdao?" Gao Yincheng was confused, but when he saw that it was true, he was too lazy to ask more questions. After dressing up, he left the camp and came to Weizi Village.

Then his mouth opened and couldn't close for a long time.

Overnight, at least one hundred steps on the mountain road that lasted 200 steps had become ice paths.

The Tang people in the village last night were afraid that they did not stop pouring water down. Because the water was not big, they slowly soaked down the mountain path. The weather was cold, and the water frozen into ice before it even flowed to the bottom of the mountain, forming two ice paths.

With such an ice path, people can't stand steadily, let alone attacking.

"The Tang people are cunning and treacherous, and they are indeed as usual." A Goguryeo general was shocked and angry: "What kind of attack method is this? Do you have to wait until the weather clears and melts the ice?"

Gao Yincheng glanced at this guy with dissatisfaction. It was clearly a blow to his morale.

He was about to say something, when he suddenly saw a guard leading a man to come. Gao Yincheng frowned and saw the guard making a gesture, he was overjoyed.

"Don't make a fuss, go to the central army's tent and hold a military discussion." He shouted, and then walked towards the other side.

It was Zhang Quanzhun who was brought.

He looked flattering and bowed to Gao Yincheng: "Korodha is above, the villain will pay homage to you."

"You are Zhang Quanzhun. Although it was your first meeting, I have heard of you a long time ago. In Duli Town, you are the first to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and want to serve the Lord." Gao Yincheng said in a gentle voice: "This is the merit of the song that will naturally not be forgotten... Are there any new news for you this time?"

"The villain can even get into the ears of Ke Luoda for his little contribution." Zhang Quanzhun said respectfully: "The villain escaped. As far as the villain knows, yesterday Ye Chang and Nan Jiyun led the main force of the Tang people, and they had already started overnight. I guess they were in Weizi Village at this time."

"Oh?" Gao Yincheng narrowed his eyes when he heard this: "Tell me the situation carefully and listen to me."

Zhang Quanzhun said what he saw and heard. Gao Yincheng nodded secretly when he heard this, which corresponds to the current situation in Weizi Village.

It was Ye Chang, who was famous for his treacherousness, who came to Weizi Village that he suffered two setbacks during the day and at night: these two battles did not cause much harm to the Tang people in the village, but instead they lost more than a hundred troops.

"In this way, there should be more than 1,500 guards in the village, but why did you only see two or three hundred people yesterday?" Gao Feng asked in confusion.

"I'll hide myself and prevent our army from knowing their true strength." Gao Yincheng sneered twice: "This dog official in Tang Kingdom is indeed cunning."

After he got the news, he asked someone to place Zhang Quanzhuan and then strode to the central army's tent.

At this time, the generals and chiefs of various tribes had gathered in them, and they were talking one by one. Seeing Gao Yincheng stepping in, someone couldn't wait to ask: "Ko Luoda, what should we do now? With that ice path, we can't attack at all."

"Do you have to wait until the weather is clear?"

"Even if the sky is clear, the ice path may not melt."

"The Tang people are really cunning. I have long heard that the dog official sent by the Tang people is cunning. They first deceived Duli and then took Weizi Village. Only such traitors can think of such a traitor."

Everyone was talking about it, but later it turned into a curse at Ye Chang. Gao Yincheng frowned: "Stop talking."

Everyone calmed down, and some chiefs were still unconvinced, staring at what Gao Yincheng could say.

"If cursing can kill the traitor, I will be more fierce than you." Gao Yincheng said: "Why are you afraid of Bingdao? I will say that there are at least ten methods to break it."

"ah?"

"Does it take a long time to transport soil and lay sand to cover it and open a road? Do you still need to be afraid of slipping on it by cutting firewood and cutting grass on it?" Gao Yincheng said dissatisfiedly: "You are too shallow in your thoughts, and this ice path has helped us a lot."

"What?"

"The Bingdao blocked us and also blocked the Tang people in the village. They could not go out to attack the village, so they could only hide in the village like a turtle." Gao Yincheng said: "I only need to leave a thousand people here to confront him and seal the way he came out. The remaining people will bypass Weizi Village and attack the capital directly."

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

Indeed, Weizi Village was a solid rock in front of the army, but it did not mean that they had to kick off Weizi Village to move forward. They had wanted to attack Weizi Village before, but they were just afraid that they would be attacked by the enemy from both sides when they went to attack the capital, and that Weizi Village was also afraid that Weizi Village would cut off their logistics supplies. But this ice road prevented the Goguryeo people from attacking the village, and also blocked the Weizi Village people from attacking the village. The Beisha Army only needed to arrange a small number of people to guard it here.

"I would like to seal the Tang people in the village here," a general shouted.

Some of the other generals also stood up to ask for their orders, and some were silent. Everyone was weighing the pros and cons of attacking the capital, but the harvest of robbery would be greater. Therefore, when everyone understood this, they began to fight. Those who wanted wealth clamored to go to the capital, and those who wanted to preserve their strength clamored to stay.

"Quiet" Gao Yincheng stopped everyone, his face looked very ugly: "What is the difference between such noisy and the chaotic crowd?"

He thought to himself that the purpose of weakening the tribes in this trip was not fully achieved, so he ordered a few people and left the three tribes who were defeated yesterday and killed more than a thousand people here, and took the remaining 1,600 troops to pounce on Duli.

Only then did he realize that he had lost more than 300 people last night, nearly one-tenth of them. Not all of these people were killed, with only more than a hundred people killed, mainly the six Polish and Han tribes, but more than two hundred people were injured.

However, he didn't care much. According to the information brought by Zhang Quanzhun, there were only less than 500 people left in the city, and they were all militia, using bamboo guns and whistle sticks as weapons, and there were not even a few decent bows. More importantly, there were more than a dozen of them in the five hundred people who were Goguryeo. Just when his army arrived, these people would open the door to greet them.

He had finished dispatching his troops and took the main force away from the camp. At this time, the sky was gloomy and not far away. The camp was stationed at Weizi Village, so he was sure that the people of the village could not see the actions of his army. In order to be more realistic, he also told the troops left behind to travel with many flags and dust, making a hustle and bustle of people and horses.

"Everyone, after I pacify the capital, the Weizi Village will collapse without fighting." He smiled when he left the camp, "As long as you can block the Tang army in the village and not ask them to return to help, that is the first merit, and there must be a generous reward.

The remaining troops were immediately happy.

Weizi Village is only a few dozen miles away from Duli. They are quick to advance, and they can reach it in just one day. Moreover, there is also the guide Zhang Quanzhun, who can take some paths and even take a shorter time. However, because it is close, Gao Yincheng is still cautious and rests for a while every ten miles of marching in the middle. When he arrives more than ten miles away from Duli in the evening, he is looking for a shelter to rest in the wind.

While resting, he did not relax his vigilance and sent out many secret whistles. Now he is sure to win. If he loses himself because of carelessness, it would be too tragic.

In the early morning, it was just dawn, Gao Yincheng ordered the whole army to make rice. After eating, he ordered: "Today I go to the capital for dinner."

Everyone cheered and Zhang Quanzhun followed him. After walking out, he pointed to the hill in front of him and said, "Ko Da, after passing this mountain pass, you can see the capital. If the Tang people wanted to intercept it, they would have to set up defenses at this mountain pass. I haven't seen it now. I think the Tang people knew that they were short of troops and only dared to trap the soldiers to defend the city."

"There are many soldiers to defend the city. Didn't the wall of Duli Town be broken by the Tang people long ago?" Gao Yincheng smiled and said, "Zhang Quanzhun, after this victory, maybe you can get an official position, maybe it's Duli Lou Xiao?"

Zhang Quanjun's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile: "Don't dare, don't dare..."

Just as he was laughing, Gao Yincheng's expression suddenly changed. Almost at the same time, a drum sound came, followed by two and three, and a series of drum sounds sounded from the mountains on both sides of the mountain pass.

"Not right" Gao Yincheng heard the drum sound and realized that it was wrong. Ruduli, there were only a few hundred militia left in Lushun. How dare he come out to fight?

"bluff?"

The shouts of killing on both sides and the screams of the soldiers on both sides were obviously not bluffs. On the mountains on both sides, the stones and woods rolling from the forest and the feather arrows flying from the sky were clearly not bluffs.

"Being trapped" Gao Yincheng understood, and then heard someone laughing on the other side: "Gao Yincheng, since he has been trapped, he will not kneel down, when will he wait?"

This is not the voice of one person, but the shouting of dozens or hundreds of people in unison. Not only did the other party ambush, but even knew his name clearly

Gao Yincheng looked at Zhang Quanzhun again, and Zhang Quanzhun had a smile on his face, his smile was very dazzling. Gao Yincheng drew his sword and slashed. Zhang Quanzhun's first score flew out, and blood was squirting all over the sky.

"Sir, the dog slave, actually serves the Tang people," Gao Yincheng cursed hatefully, then raised his eyes and raised his sword: "Roar up and seize the mountain"

Whether Zhang Quanzhun really serves Tangren or not, he is ready to vent his anger. He has been unhappy in the past few days. Gao Yincheng is calm on his face, but he is also angry.

At this time, he was angry, but he had not lost confidence in his own side.

The peaks with the mountain pass are not high and there are not many Tang troops hidden above them. Therefore, Gao Yincheng felt that he could turn around the current situation. In the face of absolute strength, it was a conspiracy, so what could it be

Ye Chang looked here on the mountain, smacked his tongue, feeling a little regretful. These Goguryeo people were really tough. They thought they would be panicked when they were hit by this sudden attack. Unexpectedly, the Goguryeo leader Gao Yincheng had some skills.

"Raising a Fire"

If possible, he really didn't want to set fire. Although it had snowed a little, it did not accumulate. Once the fire was released, even the forests would be over.

Fortunately, a piece of isolation belt was cut out in advance, so there would be no big losses.

Fireballs rolled down the mountain. Seeing this, Gao Yincheng's expression finally changed. Water and fire were ruthless. On this unfavorable terrain, the fireballs could roll along the mountain road, but his subordinates were very difficult to dodge.

Although he was unwilling to "retreat", he still issued this order.

He could retreat, but those who had passed the mountain pass first could not retreat. The mountain pass was blocked by the wooden stones. Gao Yincheng could only hear the shouts of fighting over there, as well as the sound of weapons and the whine of death. He looked back and found that there were about 500 people entering the mountain pass, which had already accounted for one-third of his troops, and some of the generals he relied on, such as Gao Feng and others.

Can't help

Although he was secretly praying that the Tang people did not have the strength to eat the five hundred soldiers, he knew in his heart that he had been restrained everywhere since the war started. He was afraid that the Tang people would truly have the ability to destroy the five hundred soldiers. If according to the news he had received before, there were indeed not many soldiers in the Tang people, but now Gao Yincheng can no longer believe the authenticity of the news.

"Gao Feng is brave and loyal, and he will be able to stick to it." He turned around and looked around: "Follow me, go around this mountain and go to pick him up."

The mountain to the north of the capital was called Phoenix Mountain by the local Han people. It was not very high or dangerous. Gao Yincheng estimated that it would take nearly ten miles to go around. However, in this way, he would have to turn the road and cross the mountain and go over it. He would have to lead the horses and other things.

After a lot of hardships, he finally got around the fire. It took him an hour to cross Phoenix Mountain, but when he found that there was already silence on the other side.

Gao Yincheng was panicked and could no longer remain calm: Could it be that the Five Hundred Arc soldiers were destroyed by the Tang people like this?

Then he saw that on the southern plains, the Tang army array was facing them neatly.

The number of Tang soldiers may be 2,000, and perhaps even more. Their equipment is not just whistle sticks and bamboo guns as the information says. On the contrary, rows of iron spears and steel knives reflect the cold light of the snow. The Tang people are divided into three parts, and the front of the middle is a row of armored soldiers. There are at least 300 people.

Three hundred soldiers, two thousand light soldiers... and five hundred soldiers were eliminated, and the Goguryeo Army was lost, which was a mess. Even Gao Yincheng was still lucky, and he was already desperate at this moment.

Then he saw the bodies discarded beside him, the corpses that were stripped away, obviously they would not belong to the Tang people.

Before Gao Yincheng could recover from his grief and shock, he heard the sound of the Tang sermon drums. The three hundred soldiers shouted loudly and walked forward.

Gao Yincheng was a little hesitant about whether to continue fighting with the Tang army, but before he made a decision, several tribal chiefs around him had turned around and ran away, and their personal soldiers also turned around and fled.
