Chapter 73, the last attack
When General Silla learned that Zu Zhao's army had retreated, he was ecstatic and released the Goguryeo general who had been under house arrest and told him that the Han army had retreated. Without the help of his beast troops, he could also repel the enemy. As long as he defended the fortress, no enemy could attack.
But the Goguryeo general shook his head and said that there was no reason for the Han army to retreat like this. Queen Quan Zhiyu came back with the Han army this time with the belief of regaining the throne. Now he retreated silently. It's really unusual. He reminded the Silla generals not to take it lightly. The Han army has always been full of tricks. They have fought with the Han army in Goguryeo over the years and suffered a lot of losses. They seem to have retreated, but in fact they may be planning an attack.
The Silla general Qingwu Turin laughed and didn't listen to the words of the Goguryeo generals and said, "I think you Goguryeo was scared by the Han army. There is a saying in the middle of the Central Plains that once you are bitten by a snake for ten years and you are afraid of the well rope, which is what you are in this situation. Now the Han army has retreated, and they have also dismantled their chariots and formed a tall chariot to dedicate to our new king in Silla. I will bring this booty back to Kyoto and give it to the king. At that time, who can be bigger than me except the king, hahaha!"
The general of Goguryeo shook his head and said, "General, as an ally of Silla, it is necessary to remind you that you must be careful of the conspiracy of the Han army. I think their chariot is a conspiracy. Imagine that the Han army thinks that the world is invincible. Now that they can't break through this Silla fortress, it has a great blow to their fighting spirit and makes them very faceless. How can they dismantle their chariot to make gifts for the king of Silla? This is absolutely not in line with the character of the Han people. There must be a trick in it. General must be careful.
Qingwu Tulin said coldly, "I think you are really scared by the Han army. It is understandable that you always think that your beast troops in Goguryeo are invincible, but you are naturally afraid of being defeated by the Han army so easily. But what I want to say now is that the dominance of the Han Dynasty has ended, and it will be the time for us Silla people to dominate the world. I will definitely tell the king to send troops to the Han Dynasty and occupy their entire territory. At that time, Silla will be the largest country in the world.
The general of Goguryeo smiled helplessly and said to himself, "This guy seems to have arrived in the fourth phase. I have never seen such an arrogant person. It's not that I want to look down on my own people, but that the Han army era is very strong. Although they are constantly in civil strife now, they are still very powerful, even if he They give up not attacking Silla. If the foreign countries want to fight in easily, it is absolutely impossible for idiots to dream.
He persuaded a lot, but in the end, he got all kinds of cynicism of Qingwu Tulin. In the end, he had no choice but to get angry. Qingwu Tulin didn't care. He let the soldiers have a good rest and bring the trophy into the fortress with him tomorrow.
The next morning, Qingwu Tulin took the army to the camp where Zu Zhao's army was stationed before. Sure enough, he saw a tall chariot parked there, saying that it was a congratulatory gift from the Han army to the new king of Silla. When Qingwu Tulin saw it, he couldn't help but be very happy. He sighed that the construction methods of the Han army were indeed good. They could build such a tall and complex chariot in such a short time. However, although they had this chariot, they still could not break through the fortress here, but if this chariot was used in other battlefields, the effect was certain. Quite big, his credit for dedicating this trophy to the new king will be greater. At that time, he was the second person of Silla, and even the king of Silla may have to listen to him.
Qingwu Turin ordered people to push this huge chariot into the fortress. When he first arrived at the door of the car, the general of Goguryeo stopped them again, saying that this thing could not enter the fortress. He felt that there must be something strange in it and did not recommend pushing the car into the fortress. However, Qingwu Turin turned a deaf ear to his words and still ordered the soldiers to push the huge chariot into the fortress. Seeing that the generals of Goguryeo still wanted to stop it, Qingwu Turin was furious and arrested the generals of Goguryeo in the name of disturbing the army and directly imprisoned them in the great labor.
After the huge chariot was brought into the fortress, all the soldiers and generals had to visit. No one raised any questions and thought it was a great booty. They said that Qingwu Tulin was a great person. This time he could repel the Han army, so they could attack the Han army next time. They seemed to have forgotten the place of the Han army. To retreat, not to be afraid of them, but because the fortress is really not suitable for a strong attack. Now with this booty, their hearts are naturally full of fun and begin to float up unconsciously.
And the lightest of all this is the general Qingwu Turin. He thought that the general who had been seized power by him before actually wanted to give up resistance for the sake of Quan Zhiyu and wanted to let the Han army in like this. Fortunately, he and Goguli's general were abolished and replaced himself as a general. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Silla is already the territory of the Han Dynasty.
In order to celebrate this victory, Qingwu Tulin let all the soldiers in the fortress rest, but sent a few people on duty on the tower, while others celebrated, drinking and dancing. Silla was too poor, and the meat was naturally nothing to eat, and there was very little wine. However, after the cooperation between Quan Zhiyu and Zu Zhao, On the contrary, there is a lot of horse milk wine in the trade. This slightly higher concentration of wine is immediately loved by all wine lovers, especially those soldiers who are ready to fall in love with such wine in their spare time, but they can't drink it at ordinary times. If something goes wrong, it will be lost.
But this night, the general let them enjoy themselves. The soldiers also believed that the Han army had retreated, and even if they did not push, with the starvation protection of this fortress, the Han army could not play anything, so they relaxed when it was hot. Even the soldiers in charge of duty were drunk with wine bottles. There is no such a soldier defending the country at all.
Qingwu Tulin was happy and naturally drank a lot. It was not until midnight that he returned to his room faintly. When he was dreaming that he would become the most powerful person in Silla, suddenly there were bursts of noise outside, and the noise became more and more enthusiastic, which made him very distressed. When he was about to be furious and call the guard to come, suddenly a guard rushed in.
"Do you want to lose your head when you enter the door without notification?" Qingwu Tulin roared.
The soldier hurriedly knelt down and said tremblingly, "General, it's not good. The enemy has attacked."
Qingwu Tulin was shocked first, although he smiled and said, "Are you drunk? How can the enemy attack? Go and tell the soldiers outside not to make noise at my door, or I will kill them all.
The guards took a mouthful of saliva and kowtowed and said, "General, the enemy has indeed attacked in. The people outside can't resist. They have attacked outside the general's room. The soldiers can't stop it."
"Are you kidding? How can they attack in? Can't they fly in?" Qingwu Tulin patted the table and roared loudly.
After saying that, the doors and windows were knocked away. Many soldiers crashed in from the outside, some moaned and rolled back on the ground, while others did not move on the ground, as if they were dead. A man in a Han army robe appeared at the door and shouted, "Yes, we just flew in. General, you have no way to go. Wait to accept your queen's punishment for you."
The speaker was really Zu Zhao. Seeing the arrival of the Han army, Qingwu Tulin still looked unbelievable. He thought he was dreaming and shook his head vigorously, hoping to see the picture in front of him more clearly.
"Come on." He shouted, but no soldiers came, and Zu Zhao and others were still standing in front of him.
"You guys, are you really the Han army?" Qingwu Tulin asked in horror. At this time, he already understood that the Han army was attacking.
"Yes, you're not dreaming, but we came in and disturbed your dream. I'm really sorry." Zu Zhao said with a smile.
Qingwu Tulin looked at Zu Zhao in disbelief and asked, "How did you get in?"
Zui Zhao smiled and said, "As you said, we flew in, but not all of them flew in."
What's going on? Hasn't Zu Zhao's army withdrawn? Why did it suddenly appear in the fortress? What's the invention?
It turned out that when Zu Zhao asked Su De and others to draw a full picture of the fortress, he had already thought of a plan to attack the fortress, that is, to fly in. When he came to the gate of the fortress, he found that the fortress was built on the mountain. It was very strong and tall. It was almost impossible to attack, and the mountains on both sides were high, all of which were steep cliffs. If he wanted to enter the fortress, except from the gate, he had to fly directly to the top of the mountain. Come down. But in those days, there were no planes or gliders. How could we fly into the fortress? He suddenly thought of the Kongming lamp. Using the Kongming lamp may fly to the fortress. As long as the Kongming lamp is combined with the principle of the glider, it must be feasible, so they tried to make a Kongming lamp with the camp account. After trying it, they found that the effect was good. So he asked the soldiers to make Kongming lanterns for many camp tents, and finally made more than 20.
As for his army, how did he order the army to retreat, calm down in the mountains, and then put a few pairs of men and horses to slowly retreat to the distance, creating an illusion for the Silla detectives. In the end, he really confused the Silla detectives and made them think that the Han army had really retreated.
However, Zu Zhao also realized that once more than 20 people flew in, once they were found, they would die and did nothing. If they want to capture the fortress, they must cooperate inside and outside, and let their troops rush in after opening the city gates. But what should they do? They set up to fly down from a high altitude. Although the method is feasible, I don't know where the landing site will be. Maybe it will land at the gatekeeper, maybe it will land in a place surrounded by soldiers, or it will land in a place where you don't have to be there.
After thinking about it, a light flashed in Zu Zhao's mind. He suddenly thought of the story of the Trojan horse. If he also imitated one, then the matter would be like this. So he ordered to dismantle most of the chariots and then build a huge chariot. There are four or five dark pavilions on the chariot, and each dark pavilion can contain more than a dozen people. In the end, there are 40 or 50 elite troops in these two huge chariots. At that time, as long as the Silla people push the chariot into the fortress, because the houses inside are generally not high, it is very difficult to cross the block, so Qingwu Tulin parked the chariot at the gate.
The people in the chariot have long had a better signal with Zu Zhao. As long as they heard the whistle, they immediately sneaked down from the car and dealt with the Silla soldiers guarding the gate. After opening the gate, they let Zu Zhao's army in. Those who signaled them were naturally landed in the fortress on the Kongming Lantern plane. In this way, the people in the fortress were unexpected. There were enemies everywhere in the city. They didn't know how many enemies there were or where they came from. In this way, they must be panicked. How could they have any combat effectiveness?
Zu Zhao, Zhang Yuan, Ma Yuan and more than a dozen other capable deputy generals entered the city by Kong Ming Lantern. They first took the Kongming lamp to the top of the mountain, and then lit the lamp. After constantly controlling the lights and the glider-like hand rope specially set by Zu Zhao, the Kongming lamp could land smoothly in the fortress of Xinluo. Because the defense in the city was not very tight, their landing did not attract the attention of the patrol soldiers. Someone noticed them when they were high, but they had never seen it. They all thought something magical was flying in the sky. After looking at it for a while, the lights went out when the position was lowered, and they couldn't see it.
Zu Zhao and others landed in a very close position. After landing, they knew each other's location with a secret code. Everyone gathered around Zu Zhao and waited for Zu Zhao's instructions. After gathering, Zu Zhao instructed everyone to hold torches and set fire in all directions of the city in the southeast and northwest. It is necessary to ensure that the fire is controlled and the whole city cannot be set on fire. This is an important city defense built by Silla to resist foreign enemies. In the future, he will also build its own base in Silla. If The general trend of the world is indeed unfavorable to him, and he also has a place to go.
Finally, he promised Quan Zhiyu not to do some burning and looting in Silla. If the first fortress city will burn people, it will be dishonest. The generals said that they must set fire in a place where the fire could be controlled to ensure that the whole city would not be ignited.
Arranged to roar and act separately, while Zu Zhao, with Zhang Yuan, captured a patrolling soldier, went straight to the location of General Silla. When they arrived at the location of the chariot, they used a signal to tell the soldiers inside that they could come out. Therefore, dozens of people in the chariot immediately came out of the chariot, quickly controlled the soldiers defending the city, opened the gate, and the army that had been waiting outside saw the gate open and rushed in directly.
At this time, the Silla soldiers in the fortress were still busy fighting the fire. No one expected that Zu Zhao's army would appear beside them from the sky. Everyone surrendered without any resistance. They knew that resistance at this time was futile and just to die.
However, Zu Zhao was still resisted, that is, Qingwu Tulin's trusted troops were still vigilant. When they saw the Han army rushing in, they naturally wanted to protect their general. Unfortunately, the number of people was too different, and their combat effectiveness was not as good as Zu Zhao's people. Hurry up, Qingwu Tulin's bodyguards were all subdued. The soldier who fled in and reported to Qingwu Turin. Before the report was finished, Zu Zhao rushed in and caught Qingwu Turin.
In this strange battle, Zu Zhao assaulted the fortress with lightning speed. The important thing was that he combined the tactics of airborne and fake throwing to the real car, and perfectly used the tactics of the Trojan horse to make the raid a success. Of course, this also benefited from the cooperation of Qingwu Turin. If he hadn't been arrogant, didn't make any precautions, and didn't doubt the huge chariot. If Zu Zhao and a few people landed alone, he would not have been sure of winning. No matter how powerful their force is, they can't be intercepted by thousands of troops.
However, now, they have finally won and won an extraordinary beauty. The next step is to wait for Queen Quan Zhiyu to teach the soldiers of Silla and how to deal with the Qingwu Tulin, who took advantage of the chaos to seize power and colluded with the foreign party to kill the general.
When Qingwu Tulin was caught by Zu Zhao's people, he still looked at Zu Zhao in disbelief and kept saying that it was impossible. This fortress has the highest wall in the world and a unique geographical location. How could Zu Zhao's army enter? Is it true that they are all flying as Zu Zhao said? Did you come in? How can this be possible? It's completely unbelievable.
It was not until the appearance of Quan Zhiyu that he stopped roaring. Seeing Quanzhiyu's sharp eyes, Qingwu Tulin knelt down and begged Quanzhiyu for mercy, saying that he did this for the sake of the territory of Silla, and everyone in Silla thought that Quanzhiyu had defected to the Han Dynasty and was the sinner of Silla. When he saw her, he saw the enemy.
Quan Zhiyu was furious and asked why he killed the general to seize power even if you were the enemy of Silla. This is to jump into chaos and be punished for the death penalty. Hearing the word death, Qingwu Turin's face turned pale in an instant and lost any human color.
