But at this time, after walking around the boss for four days, the Jin army finally mixed in with some defeated stragglers and exiled refugees because of the war, and finally followed them into Anshi City with yellow and emaciated faces.
They were really pale and emaciated, and they were really hungry. When they saw the steamed buns and noodles on the stall, they wanted to rush up and grab them.
Yin Li specially selected short and thin soldiers. There is no way, if you want to pretend to be a refugee, you must be hungry first.
So Yin Li only prepared a small amount of dry food for them.
However, some money was prepared for them, including copper coins, pearls and gold.
These are the capital for them to have a full meal, provided that they can sneak into the city smoothly, and the things have not been discovered.
Fortunately, they deliberately went around. They looked similar to the locals, and they were sallow and thin. It looked like they had been hungry for several days, and their eyes were green when they looked at the food.
However, the soldiers guarding the city gate still carefully inquired about their origins. They had memorized them before they came, and divided them into several groups. They were fellow villagers in small groups. In addition, the local "villagers" whom they recognized randomly on the road, everyone helped indiscriminately. I testified that even if I didn’t have a household registration, I was put in.
Then as soon as they entered, there were people picking inside. Those who looked good, as long as they were not particularly thin, were directly recruited as soldiers. If they refused to agree, those who struggled would be dragged away with a lock of the rope.
Warriors who just entered the city: …
Seeing this, some people turned around and were about to sneak out of the city, and then they were arrested. The leader squeezed his arm, checked his palm, slapped him directly, and cursed in Goguryeo: "You It's a deserter!"
"No, I'm not, the battle was lost, everyone dispersed, and Nusa surrendered."
Lu Geng, who was squatting on the ground with the refugees, rolled his eyes, and heard the city guard say: "One day I was a soldier of Goguryeo, then I will be a soldier for the rest of my life. Take it back and re-enlist in the army."
Lu Geng knelt down on the ground with a slap, and brought several brothers around him to the ground. Seeing the city guard's gaze, he kowtowed repeatedly: "I am willing to serve the new Nusa."
The city guard knew that he was also a deserter, bah, he was a defeated army, so they waved him away together.
Lu Geng and several others were dragged away together as skirmishers.
Other Jin soldiers squatting behind: …
The city guards picked and picked many people, and dragged them into the barracks as soldiers of the lowest rank, while the others were put into the city.
Everyone followed the crowd into the city, gathered together carefully and asked, "What is Lu Geng doing?"
"Don't complain, Lu Geng went in by himself, but five of us were selected. His arms are strong, and he would be dragged in even if he didn't take the initiative. He can speak Goguryeo well. I hope Don't be overheard."
"Then where are we going?"
"Walk wherever you can, first find an alley and lie down on your stomach, see how things are sold in this city, and fill your stomach first."
There are not many people who sneak in, if there are too many people, it will be conspicuous, and if it is conspicuous, accidents will easily happen.
So Yin Li selected a total of twenty-five people, five people into a group, a total of five groups.
Most of them didn't know each other before, but they met in a hurry when they were selected, and then they got acquainted with each other because they came on the same road.
But they separated on the way, and basically did not communicate unless necessary.
They met many refugees on the road, but as soon as they entered the city, they dispersed and no longer got together with those refugees.
They have to find a way to get to the west gate, and they have to get some weapons...
The ambush soldiers in the forest continued to lie still, while the emperor in Liaodong City had already begun to let people break out of the camp and sent a group of people to leave.
The scout ran back and told Prince Gao Er, "They withdrew to Yingzhou, and I heard that they are going back from Yingzhou."
"Where's the emperor of Jin Dynasty?"
"Not moving."
"Second prince, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty must wait until the city that he has conquered is stable before leaving. Now their watchtower is about to be built."
The scout also said: "Prince, when I came back, I heard the sound of quarrying in the mountains. They seem to want to seal the road with stones, and we are not allowed to go there in the future."
"Too much deception! Isn't this really going to be a border?"
They are not very afraid of the checkpoints and watchtowers. If they build it, they will destroy it. After all, many people there are also their own people. When they unite, they will naturally have a way to get the land back, but it will be cut off. Communication is different. "
The scout also said: "I heard people in the tea shed outside Liaodong City that the emperor of the Jin Dynasty will remove half of the people here, all the officials are listed, and then move some people from the interior..."
Prince Gao Er's complexion changed slightly, and he finally became anxious. If they were to remove people and bring strangers over, Liaodong City would really not be the Liaodong City of Goguryeo.
He couldn't help standing up and spinning around.
The generals on the left and right said anxiously: "Second prince, we can't wait any longer, if we don't take the land back now, then we will lose popular support, and when they remove people, we can't hold the land back. "
"Could it be possible to hold it if you grab it back now?"
"No matter how bad the situation is, it won't be as bad as it is now," said a Nusa, "If we can't hold on, at worst, we will retreat and continue to hold on to Anshi City, at least destroying their checkpoints and watchtowers, and then we will clamor for jurisdiction. The common people, if they are willing to follow us to fight against the Jin Dynasty, even if they can’t get the land back, it will be enough for them to have a headache.”
"That's right, Dajin must not be allowed to take over Liaodong City so smoothly, Second Prince, this time, Dajin has beaten many of our cities."
It hurts to think about it.
Prince Gao Er clenched his fists and said coldly, "Okay, then let's send troops!"
He was talking about lofty sentiments, but he was only willing to send two thousand troops to test him out.
Generals: …
Anshicheng added 100,000 defenders as reinforcements, so be generous, at least 10,000, right
Prince Gao Er was not happy, he said: "I always feel that the Emperor Jin would not retreat so quickly, so I will try a little for these two thousand."
Everyone couldn't resist him, so they could only agree.
So Prince Gao Er ordered two thousand soldiers and horses to destroy the checkpoints and watchtowers, and by the way, clean up Anshi City forty miles to the west, and take back this piece of land.
Of the 2,000 men, only 500 of them were cavalry, and another 1,500 soldiers ran behind with knives or spears.
Ashina, who was eating dry food in the forest until his face turned yellow, faintly heard the sound of horseshoes and many people running.
The scouts have already rushed in to report, "General, they have sent troops."
General Ashina lifted his spirits and asked, "How many people?"
"Not many, it seems to be about 2,000 people, 500 cavalry, ten cavalry in a row, a full fifty rows."
As for the infantry following behind, he made a rough calculation, but from his eyesight, it should be close to ten.
General Ashina said: "Very well, take everyone down, tell General Xue to prepare, send troops back to the main account to report, and we will try our best to delay the time."
"yes."
