Chapter 4 National Memorial (5 times) Li Waner stood next to Li Xu, jumping and screaming to see her excited look. Liu Hongji really didn’t understand whose daughter the hedgehog-like woman was last night. She just spent the night.
He forgot all his unhappiness, dressed in a stolen uniform of a soldier, and together with millions of troops waved flags and cheered for the warriors crossing the river.
Li Xu, who was standing next to Li Shimin's brother and sister, had a solemn look on his face. Since the beginning of today's battle, his eyes had never left the other side of the river. This gesture made Liu Hongji feel even more guilty for his suspicion. At the same time, he also faintly felt
Li Xu's uniqueness. If you use one word to describe Li Xu's state at this moment, the only suitable word is calm, very calm. This is a kind of precocity that belies his age. Liu Hongji sees it and even
I have some doubts about whether the current Li Xu and the young man I first met on the grassland are the same person.
At this moment, what Li Xu saw in his eyes was not just blood and fire. After the initial tension and excitement, his mind slowly calmed down. Yue Gong Yang Su's military records, the coppersmith master's explanations, and what Xu Dayan usually summarized.
The military training outline was blended together, and all the previous ambiguities suddenly became extremely clear against the battlefield on the east bank of the Liao River.
"A well-trained soldier advances and retreats in an orderly manner, one against ten, melting soup and splashing snow..." Xu Dayan once summed up the reason why he kept training his soldiers when he was practicing martial arts in the Bubu. On the other side of the Liao River, the battle scene between the Fu soldiers and the Goguryeo army was exactly
This sentence is a vivid portrayal of the first wave of Sui soldiers who crossed the river. They were all soldiers who had undergone long-term training. Their combat coordination exceeded their opponents by more than one level. The number of Sui soldiers on the battlefield was far less than that of their opponents.
However, the Goguryeo people, who firmly controlled the initiative on the battlefield and had no suitable strategies to assist them, were only qualified to be beaten passively under the aggressive offensive of the Sui army.
The two generals who crossed the river, Yu Wenshu and Wang Rengong, echoed each other and demonstrated the might of the Sui army in their own special way. Li Xu discovered that the two generals had completely different fighting styles. To describe it in the words of the Yue Gong War Records, Wang Ren
Gong's use of troops focused on gaining momentum. As soon as he crossed the river, Zuowuwei's soldiers attacked one after another, like a boulder crushing an egg. They did not give the opponent a chance to breathe and adjust his tactics. General Yuwenshu's use of troops focused on shape.
Under his control, the various arms cooperated very well. From a distance, thousands of soldiers and horses looked like the same person, executing every move in an orderly manner.
With Wang Rengong's fighting style, soldiers need to have the courage to fight and die without hesitation. With Yu Wenshu's fighting style, soldiers usually have to double their training. Only experienced veterans cannot complete such skillful cooperation. Looking at the heroic appearance of the two generals
, a thought suddenly came to Li Xu's heart, what would he do if he were in Wang Rengong or Yu Wenshu's position? This thought made his tongue dry and his heart felt as uncomfortable as a fire. But at the same time,
Another cold voice told him, "Save it, you are just a common man's son, you are helpless and you will never be a general in this life!"
"One day, I will show off this majestic appearance with thousands of troops!" Someone whispered in Li Xu's ear, as if reading his mind. Li Xu turned his head in surprise, and saw Li Shimin's fists clenched tightly, his eyes
Staring at Wang Rengong’s general’s flag on the other side of the river
Feeling that he was being watched, Li Shimin suddenly realized that he had lost his composure. He smiled and asked Li Xu: "Brother Zhongjian, Goguryeo can't hold it anymore, do you think so?"
"If they can't destroy the pontoon like last time, they will definitely be defeated!" Liu Hongji commented for Li Xu first that his obsession with fighting with soldiers is no less than that of Li Shimin. He glanced at the ears attracted by his words and explained in a low voice.
: "Look at the flags of Goguryeo's generals. They have begun to mess up. This shows that the generals have lost confidence in victory. Although they are all moving forward, there is no response and cooperation between them. Once a partial failure occurs, the entire army will definitely be passive and unable to do anything.
Save the mess!"
"It's useless even if the bridge is destroyed. The soldiers crossing the river have already formed a large formation, at least 10,000 troops and horses!" Qin Ziying also came over to join in the fun. Since his wife disappeared, he has worked hard on martial arts and military tactics. It seems that
After seeing the fierce battle in front of me, I naturally had some independent opinions in my mind.
"My Sui soldiers have been trained for a long time. In field battles, one enemy can defeat 50,000 soldiers and horses across the river. Goguryeo must use at least 50,000 people to deal with it. Unless they have an ambush, they will be defeated!" Qin Ziying concluded in a low voice, suddenly in his heart.
I was surprised to think that since the government troops alone were enough to sweep away Liaodong, why did His Majesty the Emperor temporarily recruit so many people into the army? The Goguryeo people were poorly trained. Although they were large in number, they could not gain the upper hand. His Majesty the Emperor hurriedly recruited the people to train them.
The level is not as good as that of the Goguryeo people. By driving them to the battlefield, isn't it a hindrance to the government soldiers?
Given his courage, Qin Ziying did not dare to raise this issue in public. In fact, no one had time to listen to his comments. The situation on the battlefield on the east bank of the Liao River was changing rapidly. In just a few words, there was a new comment.
A team joins the war group
"Ambush!" Li Waner screamed in surprise, which frightened everyone's breath. However, everyone quickly gave her a look without distinction, in retaliation for the little girl's surprise.
It was indeed an ambush, but it was not the Goguryeo people. The red battle flag and khaki armor clearly told both warring parties that a new force of the Sui Dynasty was outflanking them from the lower reaches. In an instant, the battlefield situation suddenly changed. Three troops were crossing the river head-on.
The soldiers and horses of the Sui Dynasty started a new round of charging at the same time. The soldiers of the Sui Dynasty who detoured to the flank leveled their spears and thrust them diagonally into the backs of the Goguryeo people.
It was the soldiers and horses of the Youyu Guards. Li Xu recognized the opponent's identity from the flag. Suddenly, he realized the entire tactical arrangement of his side. Four days ago, the Korean envoy came to "sell" the body. Although he and Liu Hongji did not
He was not qualified to enter His Majesty's Royal Chamber for discussion, but he heard that the Emperor had allowed the Goguryeo people to cease fighting for one day and ordered them to rebuild the pontoon bridge.
It turns out that the so-called armistice and the so-called building of bridges were all just a pretense for him to paralyze the Goguryeo people. The real killer move was a hundred miles away. The officers and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty built a plank road openly and secretly crossed Chencang. Even if the forceful crossing of the Liao River cannot be successful today, the army that secretly crossed the river can still give them a chance.
An unexpected "surprise" for the Goguryeo people
Under the double blow, the Goguryeo people were quickly defeated
Completely defeated, the sudden appearance of the army completely destroyed their fighting spirit. Without waiting for the commander to give the order to retreat, all the generals, soldiers and warriors recruited with heavy sums of money fled. Even if the opponent was close at hand, they would rather be hacked to death from behind than to
Willing to go back and fight
"Beat the drum, beat the drum for me!" Yang Guang shouted loudly from the commander's platform. The rumbling drums began to sound quickly. Hearing the sound of the drums, the Sui army who had crossed the river quickened their pace and chased after the Goguryeo people like a pack of wolves.
Tear off piece after piece of bloody flesh from your opponent
Wang Rengong was killing like crazy. He didn't expect reinforcements to arrive at the critical moment. His brave performance today had a perfect ending. Originally, he planned to inflict a certain amount of damage on the enemy, then gather his troops and wait for the army behind him to come up.
Now, all he can think about is how to expand the results.
With a thousand warriors charging into the formation, the enemy army collapsed. The history of the Sui Dynasty's conquest of Liao Dynasty will definitely record his glory today. Thinking of this, Wang Rengong raised the broken spear high and said, "Zuo Wuwei!"
"Zuo Wuwei——" Liu Wuzhou and the remaining less than five hundred Zuo Wuwei soldiers shouted with emotion. They were finally able to avenge their past humiliation and avenge the old general Mai Tiezhang.
"Only behead people, don't take prisoners!" Wang Rengong gritted his teeth and ordered loudly.
"Only behead people, don't take prisoners!" Liu Wuzhou instinctively passed on the general's words. After shouting, he suddenly realized that his general's order seemed inconsistent with the emperor's tolerance, but when he looked around, everyone was red.
eyes, suddenly, he realized the purpose of this order
The soldiers of Zuowuwei faithfully carried out the order of the general. Four days ago, none of the soldiers who crossed the river were alive today. The situation was reversed. They used the same means to retaliate against the Goguryeo people. As for the blame of His Majesty the Emperor, everyone does not need to worry, everything is OK.
Our general is carrying it
Our General Wang Rengong
The three armies of Zuo Yiwei, Zuo Wuwei and Right Yuwei advanced together and pursued them for more than forty miles before they stopped. Liaodong City was already in sight. Worried about the enemy's counterattack in the city, General Yuwenshu cautiously ordered the soldiers to stop.
The qualifications to pursue him in the army were much higher than those of the other two guards. Therefore, as soon as Zuo Yiwei's troops stopped, the other two guards immediately retreated.
The army returned with a triumphant song and camped on the east bank of the Liao River. While clearing the battlefield, they sent people to help the remaining millions of troops cross the river.
In this battle, a total of more than 12,000 people were beheaded. When more than 12,000 heads were presented to His Majesty the Sui Emperor as trophies by the soldiers, looking at the mountains of heads, the envoys from various countries accompanying the army to watch the battle turned pale with fear.
Mohequ Shuaidu Diji immediately stated that his troops would be the vanguard of the army next time they go to war. Western Turkic Khan Chuluo also enthusiastically announced that when the army is ready, he will personally offer cattle and sheep wine to wash away the dust of the expedition warriors.
The Jesuit envoy simply fell to the ground and cried bitterly, begging the Holy Khan of the Kingdom of Heaven to clear the caves of the Goguryeo bandits as soon as possible to eliminate the pain of Baekje being invaded by them every year.
"I am here to liberate the people. I am not fighting today as a bloodthirsty lord, but I am not allowed to use it as a small punishment. I hope that I will make a mistake!" His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, the Sage Heavenly Khan Yang Guang said to dozens of countries.
The envoy gently waved his hand to stop their praise and flattery, "Today, the reason for blaming the people and punishing them is not for the sake of fame. The army is based on appeasement, not on killing."
Looking back, he was very satisfied and told his generals: "From now on, all military advances and stops must be reported and reported, and there is no need to specialize! If Goryeo surrenders, it is appropriate to appease it and not to send troops!"
"Yes!" The commander-in-chief of the twenty-four armies and envoys from dozens of countries bowed at the same time
"Hmph, whoever deceives me once, I will deceive him twice!" Looking at the Liaodong City in the distance, Sage Khan thought proudly
