Chapter 55: Let the letter set off and make it history

"General, should we reconsider this matter?"

A slightly embarrassed voice sounded in the room.

"Yes, General, I also think that we can go back and take Baiyan directly, and cooperate with the army to break through the Goryeo defense line. Then we will have a chance to take this place again!"

Another voice sounded.

While talking, their eyes never moved, always staring at the map on the wall.

That is a topographic map of Goryeo.

A red circle is drawn in the center of the picture.

This is where they are at this moment, the domestic city.

And starting from the red circle, there is a straight red arrow.

Going all the way south, it pointed to another place.

At that location, there was also a circle drawn, and it was even larger than the one in the domestic city.

It was obvious that this was the next attack location planned by Gao Changsheng.

For Gao Changsheng!
The three thousand mile journey across the Mobei region had already wiped out the little bit of distrust that they already had in their hearts.

No one doubted his abilities anymore, especially in military affairs.

But at this moment!

However, several deputy generals in the army all raised objections.

It was obvious that they did not quite agree with Gao Changsheng's attack route.

This is the first time this has happened since the troops were sent out.

And the reason for all this is because of the two conspicuous words in the huge circle.

Pyongyang!

Goryeo Royal City!

Gao Changsheng's next target was the true heart of Goryeo, their capital.

This is definitely something no one could have imagined.

Even those who followed Gao Changsheng all the way from Mobei into Goryeo and arrived at the central area of ​​the enemy country.

They would never have thought of this possibility before Gao Changsheng pointed it out.

After being shocked, several deputy generals raised questions almost at the same time.

"General, please think twice!"

"Yes, General, if we can capture Pyongyang, we can certainly win the battle, but it is too difficult!" said another deputy general.

However, his words were obviously still a bit conservative, probably because he didn't want to offend the commander too much.

In fact, in his mind, the possibility of success was almost non-existent.

How important is a country's capital? Even though Goryeo has already drawn elite troops from across the country to support the front line.

Other places might be empty, but in the royal city, there are definitely a large number of troops stationed.

The solidity of Pyongyang City is definitely stronger than that of Liaodong City.

And when they attacked Liaodong, the Sui army mobilized such terrible force.

But now, they only have less than 5,000 cavalry.

How could such a force be used to capture the more solid Goryeo city?
If the attack fails, when the soldiers from various Goryeo cities come to support them, they will most likely be surrounded.

As mentioned before, the situation in Goryeo at that time.

As long as they don't get into a desperate situation, with 5,000 light cavalry coming and going like the wind, they will basically not encounter any danger.

And under the Goryeo royal city, in the opinion of several people, is a place that is very likely to turn into death.

With the troops in the royal city, plus the soldiers who may come back to support from various places.

Maybe we are indeed not as powerful as them, but sometimes if there are enough ants, they can also kill an elephant.

Facing doubts from those around you.

Gao Changsheng did not respond.

His eyes were always on the map, starting from the inner city, moving along the arrows, and then landing heavily at a certain location.

"Pass this general's order!"

"Brush! Brush! Brush!"

As soon as the voice fell, several people stood up straight.

This comes from the instinct of a soldier!
"Order the entire army to move out tomorrow. Target: Pyongyang, the capital of Goryeo!"

"General?"

Several people exclaimed at the same time!

"Ok?"

Gao Changsheng narrowed his eyes, turned his head slightly, and hummed softly.

In an instant, several people felt their hearts tremble.

"We obey your orders!" The few people did not dare to say anything more and responded quickly.

Previously, we were discussing military affairs, so naturally we could express our opinions.

But now it is clear that Gao Changsheng has issued the military order.

All of them were veterans in the army, so they naturally understood the strict military regulations.

After all, along the way, they could see that their young general was not a kind-hearted person.

"very good!"

Gao Changsheng nodded.

He continued to speak.

"How many messenger kites are there in the army?"

Kites are used for sending messages, especially those specially bred by the military, which are faster and more accurate than ordinary pigeons.

"General, there are only two left!"

Gao Changsheng nodded.

They were light cavalry, advancing by fighting to support themselves, and they did not carry much with them.

Even living creatures like kites will suffer some losses during the journey.

Moreover, they were advancing along the way and had no fixed location. Once the kites were released, they could not return. It was understandable that there were not many left as one was used less.

"Let them all out!"

Gao Changsheng waved his hand.

"Attacking Pyongyang is no different from any other attack. One move will affect the entire body, so we must communicate with the front line."

Several lieutenants nodded.

Although they did not think they could capture Pyongyang, they still agreed with Gao Changsheng's words.

We must contact the main force on this matter.

If it really succeeds, the army must react quickly to achieve the greatest results!
"Besides, the number of troops is secondary. Attacking Pyongyang does require some support, otherwise..."

Gao Changsheng whispered softly.

The people around did not hear this.

But the meaning of the words is already very clear.

Gao Changsheng had enough confidence, or had already had a plan, to defeat the royal guards of Pyongyang City.

But again!
He is also wary of, or perhaps worried about, Pyongyang's other tactics.

"General, are you still going to do the same as Tongding, flying General Yu all the way and General Shi all the way?"

"No!"

Gao Changsheng shook his head.

"This time is different. General Shi Wansui can't help!"

"I will write the military report and letter myself. One letter will be sent to Old Yu, and the other letter will fly directly to the base camp and be delivered to King Kaoshan!"

The deputy general nodded, but he was confused.

According to Gao Changsheng, General Shi Wansui couldn't help? Could he be asking for reinforcements?

But the army was blocked by the Goryeo defense line and couldn't get through at all!
Even if they could get here, Shi Wansui, as the vanguard commander, would obviously be able to dispatch troops faster!

Doubts about the deputy general.

Of course Gao Changsheng didn't want to explain.

“I hope it’s in time!”

After a whisper.

Gao Changsheng raised his head quickly:
"Go, send out the messenger kite, and then prepare to move camp tomorrow."

"Yes!"

Gao Changsheng waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

And his gaze had returned to the map.

The word Pyongyang is still prominent within the huge circle.

But what Gao Changsheng was looking at at this time was not the target that had already been determined.

He was looking at the situation around Pyongyang.

Terrain, rivers, cities, fortresses!
Etc., etc.

And as time goes by.

The plan that already had a rough shape in his mind was becoming more and more perfect.

The eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Now, it depends on whether the last support can arrive in time. If it can arrive in time, Pyongyang..."

“It’s about to become history!”
