Chapter 375: Further Exploration

"What's the situation?" The garrison commander asked hurriedly as the scouts sent out returned one after another.

"The scouts reported! No trace of enemy troops was found within a hundred miles around Guiduan City!"

"It is enough to prove that this is an isolated army, and there is no reinforcement behind it. As long as we attack now and catch them off guard, we will definitely be able to win the battle." "

Maybe we can even wipe out this Tang army to boost our morale. The Tang army has defeated our army many times and has become proud. As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated! Such a great opportunity, please don't miss it, general." The deputy general said, and persuaded the garrison commander to send troops.

Now they need a victory to boost morale.

Right now there is a golden opportunity. If he doesn't seize it, he will have trouble sleeping and eating. Therefore, the deputy general strongly persuaded the garrison commander to send out troops.

Twenty thousand against two thousand, he felt that they had a great chance of winning. If they could wipe out all the two thousand cavalrymen outside the city, even if they couldn't wipe them out, as long as they could defeat the enemy, it would be a big victory.

Right now they really need this victory to boost morale.

"Send out all the scouts to investigate the area within a hundred miles of Guiduan City. This time, expand the area to two hundred miles or three hundred miles."

The garrison commander thought about it again and again, and decided to wait and see. It's better to be safe than sorry. If this is really a trick of the enemy, they would just be sending their heads off.

The deputy general was stunned! He did not expect his superior to be so cowardly. It really disappointed him.

A hundred miles in radius was not enough, and he had to explore two hundred or three hundred miles. How cowardly must he be to do such a thing. There are only

two thousand soldiers outside the city. As long as they act quickly, they will be able to defeat this army. Even if there is a large force of the Tang army outside the city, it will be too late to rescue.

As long as the enemy outside the city is defeated, the morale can be boosted, and the next defense battle can better defend the city.

"General! But..." The deputy general wanted to continue to persuade.

"Don't say anything! Do what I say immediately." The defending general interrupted the deputy general without giving him any chance.

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go quickly? Do you dare to disobey orders?" The general was furious when he saw that the deputy general was indifferent to his words.

He drew his sword and pointed it at him. If he couldn't deal with the enemy outside the city, he couldn't deal with you either.

"Yes, sir!" The deputy general had no choice but to bow and leave. He followed the general's order and sent out scouts to get information from farther places.

Outside the city, Xue Rengui ordered to set up camp on the spot and cook, and he started cooking under the eyes of the enemy on the city.

The angry defenders on the city shot arrows outside the city, but unfortunately the Tang army was not within the range and did not cause any damage to the Tang army.

Hundreds of Tang soldiers came galloping, drawing their bows and shooting a hail of arrows at the city walls, scaring the defenders in the city to quickly look for shelter to avoid the enemy's arrows, and dared not show

their heads. After shooting a hail of arrows, the Tang cavalry immediately turned back, making mocking noises from time to time.

These cavalry were the elite cavalry of the Khitans who were skilled in archery and horsemanship. By the time the defenders in the city showed up, they had already returned to the camp and were preparing to launch a second attack.

... The scout

who went out to gather intelligence ran back and forth for six hundred times, and was exhausted at this time. After returning to the city and reporting the situation to his superiors, he wished he could sleep right away.

After the deputy general received the intelligence from all the scouts, he hurried to tell the news to the garrison commander of Guiduan City.

This time, he had to be persuaded to send troops no matter what. The Goguryeo people could not stand the enemy army coming to their doorsteps but remained indifferent.

"I want to see the general! I have something important to report!" The deputy general came to the door of the garrison commander's office and was stopped by two of the garrison commander's personal soldiers.

"The general has ordered that no one is allowed to enter without permission." The personal soldier said.

"Don't even let me in? Get out of my way quickly. If you delay the opportunity to fight, you can't afford it." The deputy general roared.

"Please forgive me, sir! Without the general's order, the two of us can't let you take a single step in here, unless you step over our corpses." The personal soldier refused to give in.

The garrison commander was furious when he heard this. It was already this late, and these people were still so fussy. He wanted to draw his sword and chop them right away.

"What's going on? Why is there so much noise outside?" Just as the deputy general was about to draw his sword and chop someone, the garrison commander's voice of rebuke came from inside.

"General! It's me! I have the latest intelligence to discuss with you in detail." The deputy general shouted at the door.

As soon as the garrison commander finished speaking, there was a sudden silence inside.

Seeing that there was no response for a long time, the deputy general immediately raised his voice again and shouted: "General! I have the latest intelligence to discuss with you in detail. I hope you can meet me."

Then it fell into silence again. The deputy general was impatient and was about to shout again when the voice of the garrison commander finally came from inside.

"Come in!"

The deputy general walked in and saluted to the garrison commander and said, "Greetings, general!"

"What did the scout say?" the garrison commander asked.

"There is no smoke within 300 miles!" the deputy general replied.

"Got it!" the garrison commander said, he still did not plan to send troops to deal with the Tang army outside the city.

"General! Now is a good time for us to attack. I can be sure and guarantee that we will defeat the Tang army. Please approve it!" said the deputy general.

This time, he had to persuade his superiors to send troops. He must lead the troops himself to destroy the Tang army outside the city, so as to wash away the shame of being beaten by the Tang army. This

time, no matter what, he had to press this isolated Tang army deep in the city to the ground and rub it hard, so as to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

"It's just a lone army, why waste our army's strength, just let them stay outside the city, anyway, they can't do anything to us." The guard said disdainfully.

The deputy general almost laughed out of anger. It's okay that you didn't dare to fight against the Tang army's large-scale attack on the city, but now you don't even dare to take action against the isolated Tang army deep in the city. It's not worth it to talk to me here.

It seems that it is impossible to get him to order an attack out of the city, so he has to do it himself.

He had foresight and had already contacted some brave and courageous generals in the army. They had already agreed that it was impossible to persuade the garrison to order an attack. So

they united to mutiny, first controlled the garrison, and then issued orders to order the entire army to attack.

"I'll take my leave!" The deputy general saluted and left. He was going to join others to take action.

Looking at the deputy general who retreated without saying a word, the commander of Guiduan City was puzzled. When did he become so easy to talk to?

Usually, he would not retreat unwillingly until he drew his sword and was ready to call for help.

Why did he suddenly change his temper today? The commander really couldn't understand it. He shook his head. Since he couldn't understand it, he simply stopped thinking about it.

No matter how he changed, as long as he didn't leave the city, everything was fine.
