Chapter 355 Preparing to attack the city.

Seven days later.

A total of 150,000 troops gathered at Seoul. In addition to the troops left behind by the first expedition to the east, the remaining ones were the elite soldiers of the four palaces mobilized by Li Mu.

The four prefectures are the soldiers guarding Daxing City. Before Li Mu took over, these four prefectures were the gilded places for those second-generation officials.

However, since Li Mu took over the troops of the four governments, the troops of the four governments can be said to have been completely reborn.

"Click."

"Rumbling."

"Crackling."

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a thunder that resounded through the heaven and earth, and finally a heavy rain poured down like a pouring rain.

Lightning, thunder, strong wind, heavy rain.

The thunder in early spring is particularly strong, and the rain in early spring is also particularly heavy. The dragon flag hanging at the highest point in the Sui army camp sounded in the fierce wind.

"General, go back to the camp!" Qin Qiong reminded Li Mu in his ear.

If it rains heavily today, it is generally not suitable to move troops on such heavy rainy days. Long-term rainfall is likely to cause wind and cold.

You should know that the medical conditions in this era are not so developed. Once you get infected with wind and cold, you may die.

However, Li Mu's next words were beyond everyone's expectations.

Li Mu shook his head and said seriously: "You can attack the city by preparing for war."

As soon as Li Mu said this, everyone present looked confused?

It is not easy to send troops on heavy rainy days, which is almost common sense for military strategists, and it is common sense that anyone who leads troops to fight knows.

"General, it is not easy to send troops on rainy days. This is a tough battle, so you can't hurry up." Zhang Xutuo, who was straightforward, advised.

"General Zhang, I naturally know that sending troops on rainy days is a taboo for military strategists. However, one time and another."

"The city wall of Seoul is more than three meters high. We are offensive, and Goguryeo is the defensive. What are the most feared by soldiers attacking the city?" Li Mu asked Zhang Xutuo.

"Thunderstones, rolling wood, bows and arrows, and gold juice are all powerful weapons for the defense!" Zhang Xutuo replied.

Such questions can be answered by any pawn who has been a soldier for several years, let alone a general like Zhang Xutuo.

Zhang Xutuo answered with confidence, but obviously he did not understand Li Mu's meaning. Everyone around him fell into deep thought, but Xu Maogong's face showed a sudden enlightenment.

"I understand what the general means. Now it is rainy, and fire cannot be generated on the city walls, so the defenders on the city cannot pour out gold juice. Now it is windy and rainy, and even the power of bows and arrows has been greatly reduced." Xu Maogong explained to everyone.

There were drainage holes on this ancient city wall. These drainage holes were used for drainage on rainy days, but in wartime, they were used to dump gold juice.

In ancient wars, the most powerful weapon in the city guarding was not bows and arrows, nor thunderstones, but gold juice made of these shit and urine.

When the hot golden juice is poured on the body, any burning is bound to cause bacterial infection. In this era without penicillin and anti-inflammatory drugs, being scalded by the golden juice is basically equivalent to being named by the King of Hell.

"Yes, the enemy is on the city wall, and we are under the city wall. Even if we both shoot at each other, we will find it difficult to gain the upper hand. In this way, bows and arrows are useless, and instead we have taken advantage of it." Pei Renji said from the side.

After being pointed out by Xu Maogong and Pei Renji, everyone suddenly realized. However, this was just Li Mu's meaning.

"The defenders of Seoul are Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje. Even the most solid alliance must not be able to be focused."

"The Three Kingdoms Alliance will inevitably hold back. Although they are large and powerful, they cannot fight tough battles."

"Build a ladder and rush up. As long as you rush up the city wall and fight with them in close combat, we will definitely win." Li Mu said coldly.

After Li Mu's explanation, everyone basically understood what Li Mu meant. The Goguryeo Three Kingdoms coalition could not fight a tough battle, but on such rainy days, when long-range weapons were basically lost, it was the best time for the Sui army to fight a tough battle.

At this time, Lai Hu'er was quick-witted and immediately said, "Pu" and knelt down in front of Li Mu on one knee. He bowed to Li Mu and said, "General, the last general, ask for a fight."

As soon as he saw Lai Hu'er kneeling on his feet to ask for a fight, Zhang Xutuo cursed in his heart and asked the grandson to steal it first.

"General, the last general also asks for battle." Zhang Xutuo hurriedly fell to the ground.

"General, the last general asks for battle." Pei Renji also knelt down on the ground.

"The last general asks for a fight." Yuwen Chengdu also knelt down and asked for a fight.

......

.....

For a moment, Li Mu fell to his knees like dumplings.

"General, I'll fight the first battle!"

"I'll fight the first battle!"

"Hey, you are not reasonable. You have to come first and then come in everything. I am the first to ask for battle. I have to fight this first battle!"

......

......

For a moment, the generals started to clamor in front of Li Mu, and everyone wanted to fight this first battle.

The soldiers of the Sui army can be said to be brave and everyone is competing for the first place. How could such a Sui army fail to win?

Li Mu was also very pleased when he looked at the generals under his command. Faced with tough battles, they were not afraid at all and instead took the lead.

"Come to Hu'er, you can bring your troops to fight."

"Zhang Xutuo, you will take our troops to fight the second battle."

"Pei In-ki, you will take our troops to fight the third game."

"Yuwen Chengdu, you will take the troops in our headquarters to fight the fourth game."

"Each person serves as the main attacker for an hour, and then they will exchange one after another. This is a tough battle. We will fight on the turn of the battle, and we cannot let the Goguryeo soldiers in the city rest for a moment." Li Mu ordered.

"No!" the generals responded in unison.

Lai Hu'er took the opportunity to fight this first battle and couldn't help but feel a little proud. He picked his chin at Zhang Xutuo, and then went down to prepare.

At this time, the Goguryeo soldiers and horses on the city wall were very relaxed. As we all know, it is not easy to fight on rainy days. Now strong winds and heavy rains are coming, and anyone who knows some military tactics will not take the initiative to attack at this time.

The generals of Goguryeo believed that Li Mu, the dignified general of the Sui Dynasty, must have been extremely knowledgeable about military tactics and strategies.

However, what they did not expect was that Li Mu would do the opposite.

Come to Hu'er to return to the camp to prepare, Li Mu took a look at the city walls of Goguryeo. This heavy rain came in time. If the Sui army had not attacked the city, I was afraid that before I got close to the city walls, I would have known how many people would die under arrows and gold juice.

"Military advisor, order the head camp to cook ginger soup. When the brothers who have been withdrawn in each round, they must drink a bowl of ginger soup first when they return to the camp to rest." Li Mu ordered.

The Sui army took turns to attack and rest, but they also had to pay attention to expel the cold. Never get infected with wind and cold because of getting wet from the rain.
