Chapter 539 Great Victory in White Wolf City

Swords and guns are like forests, and flags are like seas.

When Luo Yi led the fierce Turkic light cavalry out of Lu Longsai, and fought behind the White Wolf City along the ancient road in the river valley among the mountains, countless feathered arrows poured down like heavy rain, the Goguryeo, who had been arrogant since crossing the Liaohe River, finally felt fear. When the fierce Turkic knights were equipped with the cavalry swords, rope armor, leather armor, and enough feathered arrows, what a powerful force it was.

The feather arrows they equipped were all made of excellent raptor feathers and were paired with steel arrows. These arrows were far heavier than ordinary Turkic feather arrows and were also sharper. The fine steel arrows were made into triangular shapes and had extremely strong armor-breaking characteristics. The Turkic knights skillfully shot arrows on the horse's backs and quickly shot out expensive triangular armor-breaking arrows. The sharp arrows rushed out with a whistling sound, penetrated into the bodies of one Goguryeo after another.

Rows of sharp sword lights rolled up countless blood lights. On the front battlefield, Li Jing's flag soldiers had already shaken the flags, and the iron cavalry, who had been raising their strength after the armored chariots, finally dispatched. The cavalry were wearing dazzling mirror armor and turned over horses, divided into two parts, and they walked out from the left and right of the chariot array, slowly accelerating, and rushed towards the enemy formation in an orderly array.

The knights of the breastplate drew out their cavalry swords on their horses, and the sword light surpassed the snow, and the armor shone brightly on the sky.

The chariot formation slowly advanced forward, squeezing the battlefield space step by step.

Anyone who stood in front of them was crushed into mud, and blood was splashed everywhere. The Goguryeo people finally saw the strength of the Sui people and knew what it meant to be a copper wall, an iron cavalry, and a mobile fortress. What impressed them most at this time was that they understood the cunning of the Sui people on the other side. These Sui troops suddenly came out of the pass and advanced east along the sea. They rushed to Bailang City under Bailang Mountain. The Sui army that suddenly arrived only surrounded but did not attack at the beginning, leading them to send troops to aid. But they encountered a hiding halfway. If it were just like this, it would be nothing.

But these shameless Han people always hide their strength. When they arrived, they finally broke through the interception on the road and rushed to the rescue of Bailang City, the damn Li Jing suddenly changed many troops and surrounded the newly arrived troops in Bailang City. Today, the two armies fought at the foot of the mountain, and Li Jing's army was always under the state of being suppressed and beaten. They kept slowly retreating, which led to the determination of the whole army to fight out. When they defeated the Sui army under Li Jing's troops, a damn army suddenly emerged behind them.

The Goguryeo, who suffered a lot of losses and had been fooled, were still fooled. They never expected that as early as the beginning of the dispatch of the troops, Li Jing sent Luo Yi to lead a Turkic cavalry and took a detour from the north. Finally, when the Goguryeo people from Bailang City were all out and were about to win, they suddenly appeared behind the Goguryeo people.

The Goguryeo people were attacked from both sides.

Even if you want to withdraw from White Wolf City at this time, it is too late.

The iron cavalry advances like a wall. The cavalry swords and dense horse hooves have become nightmares for the Goguryeo people. There are also the cavalry and shooting arrows of the Turkic cavalry that are constantly roaring behind, and the catapults and heavy crossbows equipped in the mobile chariot that are extremely thick and harder than the turtle shell. The counterweight catapult can be quickly assembled and dismantled, and has extremely strong attack power in the chariot formation. Stones with big fists, and even some stone bullets with big heads are thrown high and then roaring into the Goguryeo army formation. Those in the middle are dead. And the eight ox three crossbows can continue to shoot, and there are even a terrifying crossbow machine that can fire one hundred arrows at a time.

When Luo Yiru planned to appear behind the Goguryeo people, Li Jing finally smiled. It was time to end the battle, "Blow the horns and the whole army attacked."

Countless crossbowmen began to stand on the chariot, behind the chariot, as the chariot slowly moved forward, shooting sharp arrows in their hands towards the Goguryeo people with one arrow. The catapult cart and the crossbow cart were also constantly firing, while the spearmen and sword and shield soldiers firmly protected the chariot and protected the moving castle. The Goguryeo people wanted to fight to the death to attack the chariot formation, but could only throw down corpses.

In the moment after the two armies attacked each other, hundreds of Goguryeo warriors had fallen. They lived in the bitter and cold Liaodong, claiming to be the overlords of the East, but now they are experiencing cold from the bottom of their hearts. They have never fought such a battle, such a completely desperate battle.

Gao Ning turned his head to look at Gao Wu who was more than ten feet behind. The Goguryeo prince looked pale. Obviously, he did not expect that they would eventually fall into the trap carefully designed by the Sui people step by step. Gao Ning was still thinking in his mind that the prince, who had heard that the Sui general Li Jing was no longer huddled in the tall and strong Yuguan like a turtle, was willing to leave the pass and come out of the pass. It seemed that as soon as the Sui army left the pass, it had become a duck to be slaughtered and his prey. But now thinking about it,

At that time, it was not just Gao Wu who had this attitude. He also thought that the elite Sui people would fight civil war in the west. At that time, the Sui army that came to fight was just a mob soldier. He also thought that he would come with Gao Wu, defeat these Sui troops with Gao Wu, and then make military achievements. Maybe he could even become the first group of soldiers entering the pass. He even thought about how many rich spoils he could get after entering the pass and how to make a fortune.

But who would have thought that Li Jing, who had never heard of the name before, was only thirty years old, but he was so powerful. There was also the Sui army that came out from behind.

The troops who rushed to the front just now were completely defeated, and the several soldiers in the back formation were also defeated by surprise.

Li Jing wanted to wipe them out in one fell swoop and kill them all.

Xijing, imperial city, and the province of the country.

In the Political Affairs Hall, nine chief and deputy prime ministers were present, and five chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and minister envoys from the Privy Council were also summoned to the hall to report the latest military information in western Liaoning to the emperor.

Yi Feng glanced at the priests and held the throne and said, "I'll inform you of the military situation in western Liaoning."

Pei Zeng, the Military Information Department of the Supervision Institute, who attended the meeting, stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the magistrate, the latest military information in western Liaoning, the Yanshan Road marshal Li Jing led his troops out of the pass a few days ago and fought with Goguryeo in Bailang City. Li Jing first raided all the way to the Bailang City, and then surrounded it without breaking, lured the Goguryeo people to send troops to support, and then ambushed them halfway. Wait for the Goguryeo people to increase their troops to support, blocking them step by step, and finally let Goguryeo reinforcements enter Bailang City. After Li Jing attacked the city and pretended to retreat, and led Goguryeo out of the city to pursue, and both sides fought on the banks of the Bailangshui River outside the city. After the Goguryeo army lured them dozens of miles away from the city, Luo Yi led another army to arrive, appear behind the Goguryeo people, and then the two armies attacked each other, and the Goguryeo people were defeated."

Pei Zeng was very excited, "In the battle of White Wolf City, more than 8,000 were beheaded, more than 13,000 were captured, and more than 20,000 war horses were seized, countless armor, swords and guns, and tens of thousands of stones of food and grass."

Hearing this good news, the magistrates in the Political Affairs Hall were very happy. Only Yi Feng frowned. Yi Feng was already mobilizing his troops and gathering in Youzhou, preparing to recover Yingzhou. But Li Jing ignored his orders and went to fight without authorization. Although he had won a battle, it was a risky act. It would be good to win, but if he defeated this time, maybe Yuguan and Lulongsai were lost now, and the Goguryeo people had already entered the pass and rushed into the Hebei Plain with a flat horse.

"Where is Li Jing now?"

"General Li Jing stayed at Fang Qiao, the governor of Yingzhou, to guard Bailang City, and then he and General Luo Yi led their troops to advance east along the coast." Pei Zeng replied.

Yang Su recruited the official to bring the map, looked at it a few times, and said to Yi Feng with concern, "Your Majesty, does Li Jing want to intercept Gao Yuan's retreat?"

"This Li Jing is such a brave man." Yi Feng had already guessed Li Jing's purpose. He did not lead his troops eastward along the Bailang Water and went straight to Yingzhou, but went east along the Liaoxi Corridor. Obviously, he was not going to Yingzhou in circles, but wanted to intercept and encircle Gao Yuan. Looking at Li Jing's direction, it is very likely that he would go to Songshan, which is Jinzhou in later generations. He wanted to defend the Daling River and cut off the passage between Yingzhou and Liaodong City, an important Goguryeo city on the east bank of the Liaohe River. Jinzhou is located near the river and the mountains, which is indeed a good place. Seizing this place can achieve its goal. However, Yi Feng was worried that although the terrain here is good, there is no solid city to rely on. In addition, it is 400 miles away from Yuguan. Goguryeo Liaodong City is also the same distance from Jinzhou. Yingzhou is closer to Jinzhou. Li Jing is not going to intercept others, but he is sending them to others by himself.

"We must send troops to western Liaoning immediately." Privy Councilor Wang Bao expressed his opinion.

"The food, grass, weapons, and weapons are not ready yet." Fan Zigai, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, told the truth.

Yi Feng waved his hand, "I can't wait. Li Jing has already led his army to western Liaoning, and it's still so deep, it's almost the Liaohe River. If the court cannot follow up immediately, he will be in danger of being surrounded and eaten. Although I want to remove Li Jing from office immediately, this matter must be put aside. Winning this battle is the most important thing, and we cannot let tens of thousands of troops be left in western Liaoning. Last year we lost 300,000 people there, and we can't come again this year. The Privy Council immediately issued an order to dispatch troops, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs must ensure the supply of food, grass and weapons in any case."

"Who is the one who will lead the army?" Although Wang Bao was the Privy Council, the Privy Council was in charge of the power to transfer troops, and the right to appoint generals was in the hands of the emperor.

Yi Feng glanced at the three deputy envoys of Privy Councillors, He Ruobi, Han Sengshou, Shi Wansui, and a deputy envoy Li Jing. But now he was the one who caused trouble and needed reinforcements.

"Supervisor Han will take a trip." Finally, Yi Feng called out Han Sengshou's general. Li Jing was his nephew. I believe he would do his best. Moreover, Han Sengshou's military service was relatively steady and had never been defeated yet. Li Jing, who liked to use dangerous and strange things the most, had completely two squares. With him taking action, Yi Feng could rest assured. To be continued...
