As the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, but on the battlefield under the road, Qin Hu was also rewarded, and the brave man also appeared, but he couldn't attack the camp of the Goryeo army, in fact, as a defensive side, the losses of the Goryeo army were much greater than the attacking Boliao army, and the reason why the Goryeo army was able to hold on was because there were many people, but Qin Hu didn't know this.
"Report, report, report to the general, our army's attack on the general's mansion was blocked, and the brothers suffered a lot of casualties, but they just couldn't attack it."
An adjutant general ran up to Qin Hu with a bloody face and said.
"Fuck, I didn't expect this Goryeo army's combat effectiveness to be so tenacious."
Qin Hu scolded angrily; "The herald told the brothers to put rockets on me and burn these dogs to death with fire."
"Obedience" The whole army immediately executed according to Qin Hu's order, and put rockets into the barracks, the houses at this time were all brick and wood structures, and because there were more people in the camp today, there were also many tents set up in the original open space, this rocket was terrible, and in an instant the entire camp of the Goryeo army became a huge brazier, Qin Hu led his army to retreat gradually, shot the camp gate with bows and arrows, and demolished all the houses around it to form an isolation belt, and all the periphery of the isolation belt were archers, As soon as you spot someone running out, immediately release the arrow.
The attack on the general's palace was also carried out according to this plan, in the face of the raging fire, the army that was stubbornly resisting would eventually be burned out, and many Goryeo soldiers who could not stand it began to run out in embarrassment, these ran out, as long as they did not die, all became the prisoners of Qin Hu, the fire burned until dawn, and the smell of burnt human flesh floated within a radius of ten miles under the whole road, and because of the burning of the fire, there were two relatively large open spaces in the city under the road, and these two places became the place of the Xia army.
In the early morning of the next day, when the battle was over, Gao Wei led the other personnel to arrive, and Gao Wei asked Qin Hu: "What's the matter, why did you set fire last night, and what should I do if I want to burn down the city on this road?"
Qin Hu reported to Gao Wei: "The last general has no choice, the resistance of the Goryeo army is too stubborn, my lord can rest assured that before the fire attack, the last general has already made a separation belt, but he just burned the military camp and the general's mansion, and there is nothing to do with the granary, weapons depot, and silver storehouse." ” "As long as you don't burn the grain."
Gao Wei glanced at Qin Hu and said; "Qin Hu, what did you just say that the Goryeo Army resisted very tenaciously last night?"
"The last general didn't understand the situation, but last night the last general alone captured 20,000 or 30,000 prisoners."
Qin Hu said to Gao Wei.
"Twenty or thirty thousand people, this is impossible, according to the intelligence, the defenders in the city under the road are only more than 1,000 people at most, even the standard garrison here in the past is only more than 10,000 people, where did these people you captured come from" Gao Wei said with some anger; In Gao Wei's opinion, Qin Hu may have counted the people in the city as captives.
"My lord, no, you can interrogate yourself" Qin Hu said with some displeasure when he saw that Gao Wei didn't believe him.
So Gao Wei immediately asked Qin Hu to bring a few prisoners to interrogate him, this is not interrogated, I don't know, the interrogation was startled, it turned out that there were not only the original defenders in the city stationed in the city last night, but also 70,000 reinforcements led by Jin Sitong who rushed south to rescue Xijing, Qin Hu was also a blind cat who met a dead mouse, and he took 20,000 troops to burn most of the 70,000 Goryeo troops to death, and the rest were all taken prisoner, as for the commander of the Goryeo Army, Jin Sitong, the whereabouts are unknown, but according to the guard report, Last night, a small group of Koreans fought their way out of the city, and headed north.
In the temporary camp, in Gao Wei's big tent, Gao Wei said to Qin Hu: "It is this official who has misunderstood General Qin, and I ask General Qin to atone for his crimes." ” Qin Hu said very frightenedly: "How dare the last general be such a great gift as an adult, my lord is high and bright Qin Hu admires." ” "Qin Hu, if you can afford Gao, how about calling me a big brother" Gao Wei said to Qin Hu with a smile.
Qin Hu is not a stupid person, so he naturally heard that Gao Wei intended to win him over, but Qin Hu saluted very decisively: "Qin Hu greets the eldest brother." ” "Okay."
Gao Wei patted Qin Hu's shoulder very happily and said: "Although the reinforcements from the south of Goryeo have been wiped out, the Goryeo army is still strong, and our army is still not its opponent."
"Then big brother, what should we do next" Qin Hu asked Gao Wei.
Gao Wei didn't answer Qin Hu's words, but asked like Qin Hu: "Qin Hu, how do you control this army after this battle?"
"There shouldn't be any big problems, I have established my prestige in this battle, as long as the original establishment is broken up and reorganized, and the temptation of high-ranking officials can completely fall into our control."
Qin Hu said to Gao Wei.
"Okay, we must have complete control of the 20,000 army before Goryeo surrenders."
Gao Wei said to Qin Hu; "Next, we can keep an eye on here, we will send someone to pass the news of our army's capture of Luxiali and annihilation of 70,000 Goryeo troops to Xiao Tzu Rin, and let him lead the main army to storm Yizhou and Baozhou."
Qin Hu said with some puzzlement: "Big brother, are we just here to watch?"
"What is it to look at it?"
Gao Wei smiled and said: "During this time, you will lead the army to sweep around, and rob the surrounding grain, gold and silver, jewelry, strong men, and women, and wait for our class teacher to return to the court." ” "Then big brother, won't we send troops to assist the King of Boliao from behind" Qin Hu said to Gao Wei: "Without our assistance, if the Boliao army attacks hard, I'm afraid it will suffer heavy losses."
"All I want is for them to lose both."
Gao Wei's eyes flashed with a cold light and said; "In the past ten years, the Boliao Kingdom has not experienced a major war, and has been recuperating, but the small war has not been interrupted and expanded to the surroundings little by little; Through this battle, you should have discovered the combat strength of the Boliao Army, and you know better than I do. ” "In this battle, facing the 70,000 army of Goryeo, our army lost less than 3,000, although there was an element of sneak attack, but it can still be seen that the Boliao army is very strong."
Qin Hu said to Gao Wei.
Gao Wei nodded and said, "Yes, the Boliao army is so strong, but Xiao Tzu Rin is like me asking for help."
"I don't know the general, so I ask my eldest brother to teach me."
Qin Hu asked puzzled.
Gao Wei continued: "If my expectations are correct, Xiao Tzu Rin's request for help and sending troops to His Majesty is fake, and the request for supplies is real, and in addition, it can also make Your Majesty feel that the combat strength of the Boliao army is worrying, so as to relax his vigilance against the Boliao State; If it is assumed that our army did not send reinforcements to come, this battle was completely fought by the Boliao army, and after the victory of Xiao Tzu Rin, he will definitely report to His Majesty, the Bo Liao State has suffered huge losses in this battle, and then refuses to worship for a few years, and in these few years, Xiao Tzu Rin can use the money saved to recruit troops and horses to expand the army; If I were Xiao Tzu Rin, I would try to provoke a war between the Bohai State and the Jurchen State so that both sides would lose, and then unite with the Bohai State to destroy the Jurchen State, and finally annex the Bohai State and finally unify Liaodong; At that time, even if His Majesty guessed that Xiao Tzu Rin wanted to do this, there would be nothing he could do, after all, the Great Xia Kingdom did not border Liaodong, and far water could not quench the thirst of the near."
After listening to Gao Wei's analysis, Qin Hu's mouth was so open that he could stuff a duck egg
