Early in the morning, the sun rose.
To the north, it was extremely rare for there to be a sun in a cold month. Although the sun was shining and it was still quite cold, at least such weather made people feel exceptionally comfortable and not uncomfortable at all.
Early in the morning, Ma Yuan led the army and set off for the county town of Yuyang County. As for the military camp, he had already left Lai Ji to oversee it. Other than that, there was also a group of troops, so Ma Yuan was not worried at all.
The current camp was a pit.
He was just waiting for the Xinluo and Goguryeo troops to jump into the pit.
Ma Yuan led the army outside the city. He did not let the soldiers attack the city directly, nor did he shout. Because to Ma Yuan, if he shouted, it might be easy for him to be exposed and leak the news.
Ma Yuan directly gave the order to bombard.
Mortar after mortar aimed at the city tower of Yuyang County and bombarded it. The cannonballs continued to land on the top of the city wall and explode. Rumbling sounds continued to be heard.
Ma Yuan looked at the bombarded city wall with anticipation.
What he needed to do now was to bombard it to confuse the Xinluo and Goguryeons. Under such a bombardment, the Xinluo and Goguryeo scouts would definitely choose to send troops after discovering it.
The bombardment continued.
The Goguryeon scouts who were secretly watching from afar had already returned to the village. The scouts entered the village and came to the residence. When they saw Gao Di, they reported, "General, Xia Xia's army has arrived outside the city and started bombarding. Now, Xia Xia and the Tang army have already started the war. "
At this point, the scout said in shock, "Xia Xia's weapon is extremely powerful. It's a weapon that can bombard the city tower from afar. With a deafening sound, the city tower is already covered in mud. It's extremely terrifying. "
Jin Yuzhen was also sitting at the side. When he heard the soldier's report, he smiled and said, "This weapon is Xia Xia's exclusive secret weapon. Even the Tang dynasty only has gunpowder now, not such a weapon. Xia Xia's weapon is definitely not only the weapons carried by the frontline army. Other than these, there are more weapons in the camp. "
"Let's charge over and destroy Xia Xia's camp. We will definitely win."
"This is an excellent opportunity."
At this point, Jin Yuzhen stood up and said, "General Jin, we can begin the attack now. You mobilize the army under your command, and I will mobilize the army under mine. According to the agreement with Li Ke, we will attack the rear of Xia Xia's camp. "
"Now that Xia Xia's offensive is fierce, it's obvious that Xia Xia is going to bombard the city first and try to destroy it before charging in. Under such a bombardment, I don't think Li Ke will be able to defend the Tang dynasty. "
Jin Yuzhen said, "We don't have much time left. Let's seize the time to kill our way over and leave with our weapons. Let's go back immediately and start developing our own weapons. "
"No problem!"
Gao Di had his own plans in his heart.
He also knew what was at stake.
Although Gao Di looked like a burly man on the surface, he was actually a careful person on the inside. He looked rough and violent, but he was actually a deceiving person. Gao Di was never careless when it came to matters that involved a true offensive. Furthermore, he was extremely cautious.
The two of them went to give orders, and in a short period of time, all the troops were gathered.
The army began to move.
The armies of Goguryeo and Xinluo quickly left the village and headed straight for Xia Xia's camp. On the side of Goguryeo and Xinluo, there were actually more than 10,000 people this time.
The people who went to inform them previously said that they only had 6,000 people on their side, which was deliberately misleading.
The two of them hid their forces.
Gao Di and Jin Yuzhen led the army and rushed over. In a short period of time, they arrived outside Xia Xia's camp. After all, both the village and the military camp were near Yuyang County.
Gao Di stood outside the camp and did not give the order to attack for the time being. He looked at the extremely quiet camp and suddenly said, "General Jin, this camp is empty. Will there be an ambush?"
Jin Yuzhen snorted and said, "Old Gao, don't hesitate. If you hesitate now, you'll have to waste some time. Time is of the essence, we can't waste any more time. Once Xia Xia's army breaks into Yuyang County, they will definitely retreat.
"At that time, we will be in trouble. Not to mention snatching the weapons, even protecting ourselves will be a problem."
"Previously, I was still wondering if I could help Li Ke. Now, it seems that Li Ke won't be able to withstand the fierce bombardment of weapons at all. He will be defeated soon, so we have to make the best use of our time and quickly retreat."
Jin Yuzhen continued, "With Xia Xia's weapons in our hands, we can arrange for the craftsmen to start developing them. We can only fight Xia Xia when Xia Xia attacks us."
After hearing this, Gao Di's gaze landed on the empty camp again.
Although there were soldiers patrolling the camp, there were not many patrolling soldiers. Even so, Gao Di felt that there was something wrong with this camp, as if there was killing intent hidden inside.
Gao Di glanced at Jin Yuzhen and sighed in his heart. He admitted that Jin Yuzhen's words made sense.
Time was indeed tight.
If they did not hurry, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Gao Di nodded and said, "General Jin, pass the order. Prepare to move."
Jin Yuzhen nodded and said comfortingly, "General Gao, you are too cautious. In Goguryeo, because of your own suspicion, you have always been cautious. So today, when you encounter something, you are subconsciously suspicious.
"As a result, you are hesitating now.
"Such a nature is not a good thing. As a commander, you cannot hesitate when making a decision. Once you hesitate, it will be difficult to handle and you will miss a good opportunity. Opportunity knocks but once, it will not come again. You must seize the opportunity.
"Especially if you have returned with weapons and are still hesitating. I reckon that the best outcome for you is to hand over your weapons and military power, then take off your armor and return home, and live a cautious life. In the worst case scenario, they would be captured or even killed. "
Jin Yuzhen said, "Old Gao, when you make a decision, do not hesitate, and do not rely on luck."
Gao Di glanced at Jin Yuzhen.
He sneered.
At this time, Jin Yuzhen did not forget to sow discord and incite him to rebel. It was really disgusting and detestable. Gao Di's impression of Jin Yuzhen was very bad. However, he was even more afraid of him because Jin Yuzhen was very opinionated. Moreover, he was quite capable in doing things. He was even shameless.
Such a person was not easy to deal with.
Jin Yuzhen did not care what Gao Di was thinking. He directly drew his sword and shouted, "Blow the horn, attack!"
"Woo! Woo! "
The soldiers in the army blew the horn.
Accompanied by the sound of the horn, Jin Yuzhen had already mounted his horse with his sword. He led the charge and shouted, "Boys, charge! Charge into Xia Xia's camp and snatch their weapons. "
"Boys of Goguryeo, charge with me."
Gao Di was not willing to fall behind. He held his sword and urged his horse to charge out. He knew very well that snatching weapons was a matter of individual snatching. Whoever snatched them would have them. Don't expect Xinluo's weapons to be given to Goguryeo.
More than ten thousand people charged out in a mighty manner.
They charged straight for the camp.
