After a day and night without much rest and not enough food, the combat effectiveness of this army is really worrying.
But at this time, their morale was very high, because this war was no longer a real war, and all they had to do was probably go down the mountain and clean the battlefield.
How could the Goguryeo camp, which had been washed away to pieces, still be able to put up any decent resistance?
If they still can't defeat it, it can only show how lucky it is that the army has reached the vicinity of the royal city of Goguryeo.
After eating some food and drinking some water, some people emerged from the woods one after another. These guys were road blind people who lost their way while walking at night.
As soon as it got light, they finally found the right direction and rushed to the designated place to meet up.
However, downsizing is necessary.
There are tigers, leopards and wolves in the forest. You will definitely not be allowed to walk alone in the forest at night. The few people left in the forest will probably not be able to get out.
This can only be said to be extremely unlucky, and there is no other explanation.
The people who were more unlucky than them were the Goguryeo people who were looking at the first dike in the valley. On their way back to the camp, they were so dejected that they plunged into the temporary camp of the Sui army.
The Sui army, which was noticed in advance, was killed in the mountains and forests like chopping melons and vegetables.
This is the first battle of the Mayi and Sui armies in the Battle of Liaodong.
It sounds a bit ridiculous, but there is nothing surprising. With an army of one million people, there are many people who have never used swords and guns.
For example, the guards and hussars of the Yingyang Mansion beside the emperor are equivalent to going on a parade in Liaodong and doing nothing but eating.
Two or three fish slipped through the net, but the Sui army couldn't wait any longer.
So Li Bi gave the order and the Sui army began to descend the mountain.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the Sui army had already formed an array.
At this time, the Goguryeo people in the camp outside the forest finally began to calm down from their confusion and gathered in piles. Some were crying, some were mourning, and many more were sitting still and silent.
The few surviving people in charge gathered together and whispered to each other. At this time, they all had uncontrollable fear on their faces.
They were worried about being punished, but then something happened that frightened them even more.
Groups of Sui troops emerged from the mountains and forests.
Their clothes were torn and they were as dirty as beggars, but they all held sharp knives in their hands and lined up. With bloodshot eyes staring at them, they walked out of the mountains and forests like a group of wild beasts.
After a moment of rearranging their formation, they started running.
There was no sound of trumpets, no sound of war drums, and no wild roars of soldiers charging.
This is a silent army, because their physical strength has been almost exhausted, and no one is willing to shout wildly and waste energy.
They just took steps, running with everyone, and were always waiting for the coming killing.
No tactics were used, and no one quietly approached the camp to engage in a battle of annihilation or something like that.
Because at this time, there is not so much emphasis on it.
Having been tortured by hunger and exhaustion for a long time, they just wanted to end this battle quickly and have a good rest. Of course, it would be best if they could capture enough food so that everyone could have a full meal.
pause.
The Goguryeo people finally noticed them, and there were screams. Some people turned around and ran away, while others were scared to death. The surviving Goguryeo soldiers picked up their weapons in a panic, but most of them didn't know where the enemy was.
.
The Sui army swept through the dilapidated camp. As they expected, there was little resistance. All they had to do was raise their swords and chop them down hard, cutting down the Goguryeo soldiers one by one.
When they crossed the camp, there was not a single Goguryeo left standing behind them.
Li Po breathed heavily and stood up. He looked back and was quite satisfied with his speed. Most of the people were left behind by him.
Now he has a certain understanding of charging. He will not rush to the front, but he will never fall too far behind. This is the experience of a veteran.
New recruits will never realize how big a difference these few steps make.
He shook his legs and kicked the mud. He looked no better now than when he was in the refugee camp.
He had already worn the uniforms of the Sui army into strips of cloth, but the image of the others was not much better.
Li Bi, a woman with very good physical strength, caught up quickly.
No matter how beautiful women are, most of them don't look very good when running. Except for some people, they can run as fast and strong as men. Li Bi is undoubtedly one of them.
Li Po only admired it for a moment, and then quickly lost interest, because Li Bi's image at this time was far worse than when he first met him in the mountains and forests.
If you single her out, nine out of ten people will identify her as the wrong girl.
The Sui troops gathered one after another, and Li Po's ears were suddenly filled with the sound of breathing like bellows.
Looking at these guys, each of them looked like they were about to run out of breath, Li Po's belly growled unsatisfactorily. It's no wonder that these guys didn't see any use in them, they were too hungry.
Ignoring the fleeing Goguryeo people and not issuing any military orders, everyone rushed back to the camp and started searching everywhere.
Food, food, food, this time even the Mayi and Sui armies didn't care.
Because the consumption in the past two days was too much, the dried meat that could be eaten for a while quickly entered everyone's stomach.
Whether it was because of the increase of more than 300 people, or because of the need to maintain sufficient physical strength before the war, anyway, this team of people was already running out of food.
In fact, there was no need to search much. Li Po just saw the pack horses in the camp that had not been washed away by the flood, and he felt confident.
Although horse meat is not very tasty, and it is said that eating it is not very healthy, let alone horse meat. If you are very hungry, you can even take two bites of human meat.
How good is it that the ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when they are hungry, but to laugh and talk about drinking the blood of Huns when they are thirsty?
What's more, once the flood passed, there were fish and shrimps everywhere on the shore. The Goguryeo people didn't care about this, which was the best gift for the Sui army.
Of course, as long as they walked along the water source, the Sui army would not be hungry.
Abundant fresh water resources are enough for soldiers.
It's a pity that this is just a conjecture. I definitely can't stay in Sashui for a long time.
In the camp, the cheers of the Sui soldiers rang out one after another. They found food, including dried meat, dried fish, noodles, and even a lot of pickled vegetables.
This is to be expected. Even if the camp of a thousand people is washed away by the flood, there will definitely be some luggage left.
The officers and soldiers of the Sui army looked down upon the swords, guns, bows and arrows of the Goguryeo people.
The gathered food was first eaten by everyone, and then the rest was placed on the backs of the pack horses. Only then did the Sui army evacuate the camp with satisfaction.
While it was still light, they crossed the Sa River again, instead of walking along the river bank, they went straight into the forest.
The mountain road is difficult to travel, not to mention that there are pack horses, so this road will be even slower.
However, after eating and drinking enough, he threw away all the burdens on his body, and everyone in the army felt at ease when leaving.
However, when they climbed to the top of a mountain, they were immediately shocked by the snake-like crowd at the foot of the mountain.
In the distance, on both sides of the Sa River, there were densely packed human heads. That was the main force of the Sui army crossing the river.
The Sui army took over.
Li Po rushed back with his men, and the first thing he said to Li Bi was, "The army has collapsed, and we will be the ones to make the decision ourselves from now on."
In fact, everyone here can see that the army has not been broken up yet, and it should be called to fight and leave, or to withdraw.
But what Li Po said was definitely not wrong. The army in front of them was already in extreme chaos. When they were scrambling to cross the river, in some places, they had already begun to stage a drama of killing each other.
The haggard soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were described as exhausted, and they crossed the washed-out Sa River. Many people were directly drowned in the water that was not very deep.
The officers and soldiers of the Sui army who crossed the Sa River were not much better. As the flow of people moved forward, some people fell down from time to time.
Most of the various flags of the Sui army have disappeared. Along the way, there are armors, swords and guns discarded by the Sui army soldiers everywhere. This is already an army that is only one step away from being defeated.
Compared with the armies in other time and space, the only difference is that they escaped the fate of being attacked by the Goguryeo people, but they could not escape the fate of being defeated.
Li Po and others who were standing at the top did not know that what defeated this army was the news of the false surrender of the Goguryeo people.
What is ridiculous is that throughout the Liaodong War, the whole story is full of the capriciousness of the Goguryeo people. What is even more ridiculous is that the Sui army actually believed the Goguryeo people many times.
This kind of thing is unique in history.
But you can't say that these are all coincidences, or that the Sui army is all confused.
Because, before, it was a one-man show by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, but later, it was a group performance by an army of 300,000. The army, which had reached its limit, heard the news of the surrender of the Goguryeo people more than 20 miles away from Pyongyang City.
, all of a sudden, the string broke.
In fact, regardless of whether the Goguryeo people pretended to surrender or not, it was impossible for the army to go more than 20 miles to attack the fortified city.
Therefore, after receiving the letter of surrender from the Goguryeo people, the two generals in charge of the army took advantage of the situation and issued the order to withdraw the troops.
In fact, they did not give the Goguryeo people a chance to repeat themselves.
It can be said that the 300,000-strong army defeated itself.
When the order to withdraw was given, the Sui army embarked on a hellish journey full of death and despair.
On this day, Xin Shixiong, the general of Zuotunwei who served as the rear guard of the army, died in battle on the south bank of Sashui River.
However, without being affected by the flood, Xin Shixiong's troops also severely damaged the chasing Goguryeo army.
At this time, it is true that the Sui army was in desperate situation, but the Goguryeo people were actually in unbearable pain.
