Goguryeo, the royal city.
Anhe Palace.
Gao Suwen hugged the former princess.
The strong and powerful hands moved greedily.
"Da Molizhi..."
"We've defeated Dafeng's attack again!"
"Hahaha, good!" Gao Suwen laughed heartily, raising his hand and saying, "Notify everyone and reward the soldiers who have contributed. Also, tell them that I will coexist with them. When the sun rises, it will be me protecting them. As long as there is sun, we are invincible!"
"yes!"
Kim Sun-sin and other court officials looked at each other in bewilderment.
Gao Suwen is now crazy.
He is so crazy that he doesn't care about anything anymore.
Even sitting directly on the throne!
As for King Gao Zang, he could only stand by.
"Da Molizhi, there may be a problem with this matter."
"question?"
"What's the problem?"
"Although we have repelled Dafeng's attacks several times during this period," the court official slowly stepped out and raised his hand, "Dafeng's attacks were not very powerful. They didn't even use kerosene. They also didn't mobilize much, including siege equipment. Each attack only involved around 30,000 men."
"Master Jin is right!"
"What? Are you scared already?" Gao Suwen reluctantly pulled his hand out of the princess's arms and walked towards the stage. "Don't be frightened by the Fengren's tactics. They now know that my royal city is impregnable, so they're trying to tire the enemy out. Even using kerosene can only threaten the outer city and has no effect on the inner city. They just want to wear us down first."
"Young people are young people after all."
"Ning Que is still too confident."
"He forgot how his father was defeated!"
In Gao Suwen's view, Ning Que was at the end of its rope. Facing the impenetrable royal city, they could only choose a protracted war. But a protracted war was exactly what they wanted.
Although Gao Suwen often boasted about being the sun, he never underestimated Dafeng. He knew that Dafeng was a truly great power, while Goguryeo was ultimately a small nation with few people. If the two met, Goguryeo's chances would be slim.
Rather than dispersing their defenses and wasting their manpower, they should defend the royal city to the death. Using their fortifications, they could wear down Dafeng. After all, Dafeng was fighting at a distance, and if a cold winter hit at this point, Dafeng would be in dire straits. The food, drink, and defecation of hundreds of thousands of people would ultimately wear Dafeng down. At that point, they would have no choice but to repeat the same mistake and retreat.
The strategy formulated by Gao Suwen is quite effective.
Concentrate all your limited strength.
If we really fight to the death with Dafeng, we will be in a passive position.
Their national strength does not allow it.
It would be better to drag them to death!
Let them in and stretch the supply line.
Pass through the royal city after death and drag Dafeng to death!
This is Goguryeo's best tactic!
"We have over 300,000 soldiers defending the city!"
"If everyone is mobilized, there will be at least more than 500,000 people!"
"Ning Que's total funds are less than 500,000."
"If kerosene and sneak attacks are ineffective, he will have no choice but to storm the city. However, this will inevitably result in many casualties, and we are well-rested and can definitely defend the city. Ning Que is considering a protracted war to minimize casualties. He wants to trap us inside, drain our food, and then force us to surrender."
"But Ning Que underestimated Goguryeo's determination!"
"The food in the city is enough to last for three years!"
Gao Suwen spoke coldly.
He just doesn't believe that Dafeng can last for three years!
After hearing what he said, all the ministers nodded in agreement.
"Don't even mention three years, five years will do!"
"Under the leadership of Da Molizhi, there is nothing to be afraid of."
"So what if it's Ning Que?"
"His father was also defeated miserably by Da Molizhi!"
Kim Sun-sin just watched all this with indifference.
I have to say that Gao Suwen is indeed capable.
At the very least, he now has absolute power.
There are also disadvantages.
No one in the court dared to tell the truth.
They all became Gao Suwen's lackeys.
All they do is flatter.
Gao Suwen thought too simply of Dafeng.
He didn't even take Ning Que seriously.
He completely forgot about Ning Que's methods.
How they were slapped in the face before!
They thought Baekje City would be safe and sound.
But what is the result?
Being hung up and beaten by Ning Que!
From strategy to tactics, they were crushed!
They were fooled around!
But what is the final result?
But now, no one dares to tell the truth.
Kim Sun-sin had never met Ning Que, but he had heard Choi Keun-suk speak of him. Though young, he possessed a meticulous mind and profound cunning. As the only prince of Daebong, he possessed both military and political prowess. Furthermore, he possessed a mastery of industry and agriculture, possessing unparalleled talent. Even across Kyushu, no one could match him.
How could such a person not know this?
Goguryeo's tactics have not changed over the years.
To put it bluntly, it is the turtle shell tactic.
With Ning Que's intelligence and talent, he will definitely be able to come up with a solution.
What's more, Ning Que also planted an insider.
How long can this royal city last?
But Kim Sun-sin still stood up.
"Da Molizhi, don't underestimate the enemy."
"I think Dafeng will get serious soon."
"With Ning Que's abilities, how could he be so passive?"
"Hahaha!" Gao Suwen laughed arrogantly, looking up to the sky and waving his hands. "Master Jin is old after all, and has become so weak and incompetent. Even if Ning Que has great abilities, how can he break through the Goguryeo royal city? Let alone just one Ning Que, what would happen even if ten Ning Ques came? Even if Master Jin's words make sense, please tell me, how can Ning Que break through the city?"
"Just because I can't think of it doesn't mean Ning Que can't do it."
"Grand Master, stop trying to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige!" Gao Suwen snorted coldly, saying disdainfully, "You wouldn't have guessed that Ning Que is also helpless, and so am I. The royal city is impregnable, and no one can break it. This is beyond human power, unless he's not human!"
"Oh... whatever you want..."
Kim Sun-sin was too lazy to argue anymore.
He said this just to clear himself of suspicion.
When Choi Keun-suk raises his army later, he can also stay out of it.
It would be convenient for him to gather his old subordinates and seize the fruits of victory.
"I have said everything I need to say."
"I just have a piece of advice for Da Molizhi."
"Ning Que fights battles that are all divine."
"Every battle can create miracles."
"If Da Molizhi despises him so much, he will naturally pay the price."
"Dafeng and Goguryeo have fought repeatedly, but Goguryeo has never suffered a crushing defeat. Even in the face of the old Ning King's eastern expedition, it can still hold its ground. If the city is finally breached by the Great Molizhi, I wonder what will happen then?"
"That's all I have to say. Goodbye!"
Kim Sun-sin didn't give any face at all.
He raised his hand and left on the spot.
Gao Suwen just looked at his back coldly.
Of course, he also knew that what Kim Sun-sin said was true.
Ning Que is indeed an opponent worthy of attention.
But, after all, he is a human being, not a god!
Facing the impenetrable royal city, what could Ning Que do?!
