When it was daylight, a wooden fence appeared in front of the Han army's camp again... However, compared with the previous one, this wooden fence looked much dilapidated. Obviously, it was repaired by the Han army overnight by relying on the camp wall.
of defective products.
"The Han army is no more than mediocre. I have worked so hard this morning and asked you to lead the cavalry to pull out this fence. Then we don't need to rest. By noon, I will have the whole army occupy the camp!" In the Goguryeo army, Ming Lin replied.
He smiled and said a few words to Yu Jiliu, the leader of the Huan tribe next to him, then got on his horse and appeared majestically in the center of the formation.
However, Yu Jieliu, who looked gloomy, just bowed reluctantly on his horse, and went directly to the front army without talking to the Goguryeo Molizhi... In other words, although Yu Jieliu had deliberately excluded Yaya Keli, he had also
He was excited for a moment because he had obtained the command of the entire army's cavalry, but as the leader of the Huan tribe, he never expected that Ming Lin Dafu would tear his eponymous mute Keli into pieces in public like a big mushroom.
!
A rabbit dies and a fox grieves for its own kind. On that day, tomorrow Lin Dafu can easily tear Guan Nabu and Yamo Kesi to pieces, and tomorrow he can easily tear himself and Huan Nabu to pieces.
This kind of anxiety and anger was still hidden at first, but with the rapid passage of the armed forces in Yu Jieliu's hands, it became more obvious and unobstructed!
You must know that the more than 10,000 cavalry that Yu Zhengliu obtained from Ming Lin Dafu that day, which were originally used to outflank the left and right, actually became the most casualties in this critical battle... There is no way, lacking siege weapons and technology
If the Goguryeo people wanted to demolish the camp, the only thing they could count on was animal power.
Of those 10,000 cavalry, two to three thousand were lost in two days, and more livestock died due to the prominent target! As for the cavalry without mules and horses, are they still considered cavalry?
If Ming Lin Da Fu also provided a large number of infantry and sacrificed his life to help the cavalry drag the frightening fence, everyone might have thought that the Goguryeo Molizhi wanted to join forces with the Han people to weaken
Own!
Thinking of this, Yu Jiliu couldn't help but helplessly close his eyes as he stared at the broken fence in front of him... How many Goguryeo people would die for this inexplicable fence! However, if the war reaches this point, unless one party
How could a proactive retreat end midway? Besides, once this fence is pulled down, maybe the Goguryeo people will be able to take the initiative.
At this thought, Yu Jieliu almost suppressed his nausea and issued an order to his lieutenant - not an order to attack, but an order to have the supervising team take the lead in taking position.
So, with the sound of the horn, the war team took the lead in taking position; then, the trembling Goguryeo cavalry held wooden shields in one hand and dragged the too-smart Guo off their horses with the other hand, and arrayed themselves on the battlefield full of the smell of blood;
Finally, it was the slaves who were deprived of their weapons, the strong Chinese men, and even some Chinese women, holding ropes with dull expressions and being driven to the open space ahead to gather!
It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, although there was no wind, no snow and there was sunshine, but it was still the standard twelfth lunar month of winter. However, some of the people who were driven out were actually wearing only a single piece of clothing, and some were even shirtless!
"What's going on?!" The situation was so obvious that Yu Jingliu noticed it almost immediately. "Why do some soldiers have no clothes?!"
"Report to the Prime Minister of the Left (Yu Jiliu once held the highest official position)," he leaned for a moment, and someone immediately turned around and reported back. "General Ming Linquemen, who was responsible for gathering these Chinese weapons, said that he was the one who went up to die, so there was no need to waste clothes...
…Doing this will save your clothes from getting rotten when you remove the body!”
On the battlefield in the past two days, except for the unlucky ones who had been filled in the trenches, most of the corpses were cleaned up by the Han army who relied on the camp wall in the evening... Arrows, iron armor, and leather armor naturally had to be recycled. After all,
The Han army is also a bit of a miscellaneous army, so there will naturally be a shortage of such things... But the Han army does not mean to insult the corpses. Most of the corpses will be carried to the open space two stone's throw away from the Han army's camp with a tacit understanding.
, and then waited until the next morning to be cleaned up by the strong men of the Goguryeo people.
By then, the only valuable items left on these people, namely their original clothes, will naturally be recycled.
After hearing this explanation, Yu Jieliu lowered his head and was speechless for a while, then suddenly stood up and actually left the front army directly and went to the middle army.
"Is it like this?" Ming Lin's husband was stunned. "My nephew did such a thing?"
"Yes!" Yu Jingliu's eyes were red, and he looked straight into the eyes of the person he had been afraid of for most of his life.
"What he did was wrong." Ming Lindafu raised his head and looked at the figure under the white horse on the high platform opposite, and then nodded repeatedly. "What he did was indeed wrong. He left you as a former army general. What are you going to do?
Deal with him?"
"I would like to ask Mo Lizhi to kill him to stabilize the morale of the army." Yu Jinliu replied with red eyes. "Slaves can be treated as they like, and savages can be ignored in the current situation, but the Chinese are our foundation, and they are going to
Those who fight are not meant to be used as human shields to die... at least you can't say it like that! The gains and losses of Izhara are related to our expansion in the previous decades. The results are good, but the hearts of the people are related to the survival of this country!
"
Ming Lindafu lowered his head and looked at Yu Jiliu in front of him... His country is a mixture of tribal alliances and feudal systems. On the one hand, it is like the Han people, with a king, a prime minister, a city and people;
The Fuyu people, the Samhan people, and the Xianbei people are basically the system of tribal leaders. Therefore, what matters the people's hearts and the survival of the country? After these words were spoken by a few nobles, although the truth is correct
, but it always makes people feel a little funny, especially since the purpose of these words is to kill another top noble, his nephew Minglin Quemen.
To be honest, if this kind of statement had been made in the past, Ming Lin Dafu might have seriously thought about whether the other party was ready for a mutiny or something like that. But now, on the battlefield, he knew better than anyone else what to do.
The other party was really depressed by the casualties, and was extremely dissatisfied and angry with himself, so he made such a request to himself in front of the battle.
However, Yu Jieliu was, after all, the clan leader of the Huan tribe, the most powerful noble in the army second only to himself, the one supported by all the other nobles after the death of Zhi Ya Keli, and the one who had to unite for the victory of the war. And Ming Ming
Linquemen, just a nephew...
"Bring Quemen and the other officers in charge of this matter over and kill them." After thinking this, Minglin Dafu no longer hesitated and said directly on the horse, and then dismounted and grabbed Yu Jiliu's hand. "But
Prime Minister Zuo, don’t delay any longer. If you don’t have any clothes today, you won’t have any clothes. Attack quickly!”
Yu Jiliu, who had regained some clarity, took a deep look at the little old man in front of him, but finally bowed down respectfully again: "I obey Mo Lizhi's order!"
The turmoil in the Goguryeo army ended here, but Ming Lin Dafu, who had remounted his horse, was a little shaken when he raised his head again... because he suddenly remembered that two days ago, he and the young Han general opposite him were facing each other from afar.
As the commanders of the two armies, although there was no agreement between the two sides, they tacitly agreed that one would never dismount and the other would never leave the high platform. From the beginning to the end, neither side lost half of their dignity and style.
But today, he was forced to dismount right after the confrontation started, again because of his own people's pressure. This was a bit discouraging and helpless.
………………
The trumpet sounded, and the war returned to its usual rhythm!
The Goguryeo people were very determined to recapture Siwon, and at least the top management and upper echelons had stabilized their mentality. Therefore, according to the social structure of the Goguryeo people, at the front of the supervising team, the big nobles commanded the small nobles, and the small nobles commanded the people.
The officers, the Chinese officers drove the Chinese soldiers and slaves forward, repeating the situation of the previous two days.
However……
"Why can't the enemy's fence be dragged down?!" Yu Jiliu, the commander of the Koguryo's former army, was horrified.
"Why can't we drag our fence?" Xu Rong, the commander of the Han army's front line, was also quite shocked, but it did not prevent him from urging his soldiers to seize the time and kill the enemy's animals as much as possible.
After all, whether it is a field battle or an immediate offensive and defensive battle, whether it is a pursuit after victory or a retreat in case the camp wall is compromised, the Goguryeo soldiers are obviously more threatening than ordinary Goguryeo soldiers.
"When our army was repairing the fence last night, they poured a lot of water on the soil." The messenger from the high platform behind explained everything perfectly and surprisingly. "It was frozen overnight, and the fence and the soil had formed a hard lump. The general also
Let us tell you that this is Lou Tie Cao’s plan!”
"The Han army poured water on the roots of the fence..." Yu Jiliu was at a loss for a moment. "Go and ask Mo Lizhi, how should we deal with it now?"
"Trouble!" Ming Lin's husband also looked pale, but he quickly strengthened his determination. "Tell Yu Jiliu that the Han people only have one fence left. Don't hold back. Throw all the livestock into it and give it a try...
...If it doesn’t work, let’s talk!”
"If it doesn't work, let's talk?!" Yu Jiliu immediately asked back to the messenger. "Go and ask Mo Lizhi again, what will happen if all the livestock die? If we don't have cavalry that can walk on the mountains, then
If we need to retreat, what can we do to deal with the pursuit of the Han cavalry?"
"Tell Yu Jiliu that if we break into the camp, we won't have to deal with the pursuit of the Han cavalry. If we can't get in... we will still have a large camp to cover and break up the rear!" Ming Lin's answer was very simple. "And what if?
If there is a real time to retreat, I will personally guard the main camp at the rear!"
Yu Jingliu let out a long sigh and said no more words. Instead, he waved his hand and urged his men to gather their mounts for use. A large number of them were immediately dismounted and sent to the front line, acting as the main force for dragging the fence.
In response, Xu Rong, the frontline commander of the Han army who could almost see Yu Jieliu's movements, just sneered and turned around to send out the messengers. He asked Gongsun Xun to give up the rotation and immediately send more troops to the front line for intensive killing.
.
If the request is reasonable, Gongsun Xun will do it.
This was the third day of the official battle. Both sides felt a bit red-eyed. Even if the Han army had a surprise response, it could not help but begin to suffer far more casualties than the previous two days. The Goguryeo people had obviously taken the risk.
Taking advantage of their large numbers and the fact that the Han army wanted to concentrate on killing livestock and civilians to protect the fence, they began to bully them forward and fire bows and arrows at the top of the camp wall.
After all, the camp wall is not a city wall, and arrows have always been the best and most traditional killing weapons in the classical era of mankind since they were invented, and they are the absolute protagonists in offensive and defensive battles. So whether it is the Han people or the Goguryeo people,
Under an arrow that may have been recycled repeatedly, they are all equally fragile.
From morning to noon, Gongsun Xun sat under the white horse. Seeing more and more wounded soldiers being carried off from the front line, he finally couldn't hold himself back anymore... He didn't know if the fence with water would be able to hold it in the afternoon.
It will be self-defeating. If the winter sun can thaw the ground surface, the fence will be easily pulled out.
So Gongsun Xun issued an order to a Yi Cong beside him.
"Han reinforcements?!" The first person to get the news was actually Yu Jiliu. He left the scattered dismounted cavalry on the hills on both sides to serve as observation posts. He could clearly cross-observe the general situation of the Han army camp on the opposite side. "
how many people?!"
To be honest, Yu Jingliu's accent was almost trembling when he asked this question, and he even felt dizzy at one time... You know, the Goguryeo people's disregard for casualties and risking everything was nothing more than relying on the so-called greatness.
Their superiority in strength allowed them to still spare enough troops to defend themselves even after suffering heavy casualties.
However, if there was no strength advantage to ensure victory from the beginning, and if the Han army had been continuously connected to Liyuan from Xuantu, Liaodong and other places in the rear, then the battle itself would have been a mistake! Goguryeo's strategic goal
It was wrong from the beginning!
Therefore, Yu Jiliu has made up his mind that if the reinforcements exceed 3,000 people, he will not fight!
"I don't know!" the sentry replied helplessly. "I just entered Siyuan from the back passage!"
"Go and count them clearly for me!" Yu Jiliu urged immediately. He had vaguely heard a cheer that was gradually getting stronger while shouting to kill. It was obvious that the frontline Han army had also noticed the arrival of the new force. "One by one.
number!"
However, before he finished speaking, the Goguryeo people actually cheered - it turned out that the fence that could not be pulled at all began to tilt and sway. It was obvious that the sunshine in the winter afternoon finally had its effect. After passing that critical point,
The melting of the freeze that originally served as reinforcement has greatly weakened the strength of the fence.
Should we advance or retreat at this time? Yu Weiliu was at a loss!
And when he instinctively looked back at the bordered golden frog flag, he found that the Goguryeo coach Myung Lin Dafu, who had been supervising the battle, actually left his flag for the first time, and then rode a pony to the side of the hill.
Going up... Obviously, this Goguryeo Molizhi also received the report, and then decided to see clearly for himself the reality of the Han army's reinforcements.
Almost at the same time that the Han army's fresh troops replaced the exhausted troops in the first line, the Goguryeo people finally, under the Han army's semi-voluntary giving up, completely broke through the fence that caused them so much pain!
"General Yu Jieliu, Mo Lizhi has his fate!" At this time, a messenger rushed down from the hill. "The Han reinforcements were only about one or two thousand people, and they were probably expected from the beginning.
The troops garrisoned in the Liaohe camp are originally their reserve army... The Han army has been exhausted, and the whole army has been ordered to ascend the city, and then carry torches. Today, they only focus on destroying the additional archery towers and high platforms on the camp wall!"
Yu Jiliu breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and then he was overjoyed, but almost immediately, he became sad again... After all, 'Today I only focus on destruction', which in itself shows that even if he answers his husband tomorrow, he will not
I hope that when the opponent's force arrives, they can get over the camp wall in one go.
That's it for today. This fighting method that is extremely detrimental to the attacker must continue to be delayed!
Sure enough, the battle came to an end again as the sun set. The Goguryeo people only managed to destroy some facilities on the camp wall, and there was no successful scaling of the wall.
However, it is worth mentioning that when the Goguryeo people retreated this time, they dragged away almost all the wood in sight on the battlefield to prevent the opponent from using the wood to repair something again by watering and freezing it.
The whole night was silent, and early the next morning, the Goguryeo army first had a full meal, and then they were rewarded with a large amount of property and official positions before the battle, and then they went out to form the camp.
"What's going on this time?!" As soon as he arrived in front of the formation, Yu Jiliu noticed something strange on the Han army camp wall. "Why is there reflection on the camp wall?"
"They poured water again." And soon, the reply that his soldiers gave their lives in exchange for made Yu Jiliu panic again. "This time it's on the wall. It's too slippery. A ladder without a hook can't stand at all!"
"Withdraw the troops!" Yu Jingliu made the decision without hesitation, and then personally came to the Chinese army to find Ming Linda Fu.
"It's right to withdraw our troops. Just wait until the ice melts at noon before attacking." Ming Lin's back on horseback actually looked a little stooped. "It's just a pity that after the ice melts, the wood will be wet, and the archery tower and high platform above will be burned."
It’s not possible.”
"The enemy's commander is younger and smarter than you," Yu Jingliu criticized unceremoniously. "From the very beginning when I agreed to Yu Muke's ridiculous plan, to now there are countless casualties. Even if I really seize the original
Now that you are back, Mo Lizhi, you have completely destroyed the prosperity of Goguryeo for decades! For Goguryeo, you have done more wrong things than good things!"
Ming Lin's answer was silent, or there was no refutation at all... War is the best way for a person's prestige to rise or decline quickly. When soldiers entrust their lives to one person, if they win consecutive battles, that person is very likely to win.
He will soon become a godlike figure in everyone's eyes; but if it is the other way around, even if there is no continuous defeat, it is just in vain, the prestige of the military commander will plummet.
So many people died that Ming Lin Dafu himself did not know how many people died. And with so many casualties, even if the Goguryeo people recaptured Siyuan, from the perspective of the entire battle, it would be
Suffered a big loss.
Fortunately, Yu Feiliu had no intention of continuing to accuse. The war was not over. This accusation was just based on anger and was meaningless in itself.
"I will let the nobles from the rafters department take the lead later." Ming Lindafu saw that Yu Jiliu let him go, and he also took the initiative to make concessions and express his position. "Let them die first! The last hurdle is hand-to-hand combat.
It is fair to everyone and we will not suffer any more losses."
"I hope the Han army can take the initiative to retreat after losing the camp wall." Yu Jiliu replied sadly. "This is good for everyone. This kind of battle where people always die is meaningless even if they win!"
"Perhaps it is possible." Ming Lindafu continued to console him. "If we can really break through the camp wall, we will send an envoy immediately... Kelu told me before that this Han army is a bit special, and that the leader
The young general, who was born into a noble family of the Han people. Although he brought the regular army of Xuan Tu from Liaodong this time, it is said that he formed an army privately and sent the troops for merit. In this case, he should also be very worried.
Han casualties!”
"This is not something to be happy about." Yu Jiliu looked at the still shining camp wall with red eyes. "This shows that the Han army suffered very few casualties before... This general is much stronger than Mo Lizhi. He
You guessed our ambush, prepared the defense line in advance, and then used this unexpected water to turn ice. On the other hand, Mo Lizhi, you will only take the lives of the Goguryeo people!"
The topic seemed to have returned again, but the short Ming Linfu chose to reply this time: "When the camp wall is taken down, I will not return to the capital, but stay here directly. And then wait until the front line calms down,
I will also pay tribute to the Han people and take hostage in the name of Goguryeo Molizhi. If the Han general opposite wants to kill me to vent his anger, I will also offer my head... When I die, I will leave you to take over as the next Molizhi.
Leave the branch, so that the people of the country will not blame you for this incident. But when the time comes, you must recuperate and focus on restoring the population... We Goguryeo are too small and weak!"
Yu Jingliu hesitated to speak, and the Goguryeo nobles and officers around him were also speechless. The Chinese army was embarrassed and silent for a while.
From morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon, watching the glittering ice on the opposite camp wall gradually melt away, the Goguryeo people finally steeled themselves and prepared to take action.
However, just as Ji Liu was preparing to return to the front army to supervise the battle, the cheers on the wall of the Han army camp and the rushing of the Goguryeo watch posts on the hills on both sides made almost all the senior officers of the Goguryeo Chinese army become
His face turned pale.
And sure enough, an almost ready answer came from the mouth of the sentry rider: "Another Han reinforcements have arrived!"
This time, Yu Feiliu and Ming Lindafu climbed to the side of the hill to watch.
"Same as yesterday, about two thousand people!" The short man Ming Linda was helped to stand on the horse before he could see clearly the size of the Han army. "What do you think of Jie Liu?"
"I don't know!" Yu Jiliu looked pale.
"I think they are suspicious soldiers!" Ming Lindafu explained to the other party seriously and sincerely. "Otherwise, why are the regulations exactly the same as yesterday? The Han army must have taken advantage of the night to send those two thousand soldiers and horses to the entrance of the valley behind.
Then they waited until now to appear disguised as reinforcements, thereby motivating the Han army and making us feel panic..."
"The moon is very full at night." Yu Renliu shook his head repeatedly. "We have sentries stationed here. If we go out at night, we will definitely find it!"
"It's the fog after the sun goes down." Ming Lindafu gave a reasonable explanation after thinking for a moment. "It's foggy every winter evening here in Siyuan. You should have seen it... At that time, we and Han
The army is usually cleaning the battlefield, so it's not impossible for the other side to take the opportunity to sneak out."
Yu Jiliu nodded slightly, but shook his head fiercely: "But what if, what if the reinforcements from the Han people are real? Four thousand reinforcements are not the same thing as two thousand, and continuous reinforcements and disguised reinforcements are not the same.
The same thing... Mo Lizhi, if there are real reinforcements, it will be meaningless for us to continue fighting, right? If we continue to delay and fail, our military supplies will not be able to support our retreat, right?
Mo Lizhi, can you guarantee that these are not real reinforcements? If they are real reinforcements, and the Goguryeo people were wasted here because of your persistence, and finally the country perished, what can Rong's ministry and your Ming Lin Dafu come up with to atone for their sins?
?!"
Ming Lin Dafu's complexion turned as white as his beard and hair for a moment, and he was completely speechless.
"The Goguryeo people didn't take action?!" Lou Gui, who was looking at the Goguryeo military formation from a high platform in the distance, couldn't help but feel a little depressed. "Is it possible that I looked down on Ming Lin Dafu? He didn't even think about the fog at night.
Then you end up being self-defeating and don’t dare to fight again?”
"It's true that things are self-defeating," Gongsun Xun, who was sitting aside, couldn't help laughing. "But in my opinion, it's not necessarily because Ming Lin Dafu is not up to the mark, but because Goguryeo itself is treacherous.
The problems of age and strategic mistakes make it difficult to control the situation, so he thought that our reinforcements were just a disguise, as you and I planned, but he couldn't control the other generals in the army!"
"After all, it was a good plan in vain!" Lou Gui became more and more disappointed after hearing this. "The reinforcements were sent in during the day, and when the fog started at night, we sent out suspicious soldiers to pretend to leave, so that the Goguryeo people mistakenly thought that we did not have enough reinforcements, and then suddenly launched a force
Show off all your forces..."
"This kind of strategy is a trivial approach after all." Gongsun Xun also sighed for a moment. "National strength, military strength, food, equipment, training, these are the kingly principles. If they can be suppressed with a majestic formation, these strategies will be useless after all; and if they are like the Goguryeo people
If the country is so small and the people are so weak, they will naturally not even dare to take advantage of the flaws!"
"Speaking of this kind of trick," Lou Gui suddenly remembered something. "Young Master, why did you tell the whole army that the method of pouring water to turn ice into ice was my idea? I just thought of this counter-attack strategy, and I saw it before my eyes.
There is no result yet.”
"The strategy of pouring water into ice to build a city for defense came from you." Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing. "That day before the Goguryeo people arrived, you made a casual remark when you followed me to patrol the defense line. I remembered it in my heart.
You yourself have forgotten..."
"Is there such a thing?" Lou Zibo laughed for a moment. "I thought Shen Zhengnan's credit was too great, so the young master deliberately gave me more credit, otherwise it would be difficult to reward me when the time comes!"
Gongsun Xun immediately glared at the other party.
"But no matter what, since the strategy of suspecting soldiers is useless, it can be said that it can help the battle elsewhere." Lou Gui quickly said seriously. "As for Shen Zhengnan, he is worthy of being a famous scholar in Hebei.
As soon as I took action, the situation of the battle was turned around, not only by me, but also by Zi Heng. I saw him at the fork of the Liao River yesterday, and I felt depressed that I could only stay in the rear camp and be in charge of logistics."
"I have to tell Zi Heng when I have the opportunity. I, Gongsun Xun, naturally know his merits."
"yes……"
"The same goes for you, Uncle Lou, no need to say more!"
"I have definitely felt the kindness of Young Master..." Lou Gui quickly bowed his head and saluted. However, just in the middle of his words, he heard the cheers in his ears again, so he quickly turned around to look. "The Goguryeo people have withdrawn their troops?!"
"Ming Lindafu can no longer control the situation." Gongsun Xun shook his head helplessly, but suddenly stood up. "The army has not yet been defeated, but it is unable to command the hearts of the people because it was too authoritarian in the past. This should really be taken as a lesson."
"Then..." Lou Zibo reminded tentatively.
"Since the enemy's morale is in chaos, summon all the officers in the army, including A Fan and A Yue from the small camps on the left and right, to prepare for a counterattack!" Gongsun Xun said as he walked straight down the platform. "The counterattack strategy will be based on your previous plan.
That’s it!”
——————I am the out-of-control dividing line——————
"Lou Gui went to conquer Goguryeo and presented three unique strategies. He was praised by the army and later heard about it after being judged. However, his achievements in cutting off the rear and bringing reinforcements were not known among the army, and he was quite angry. After hearing about it, he wrote a letter in the camp.
Yu Pei said: "There are many famous people in Hebei, who can be as good as Ju Zhengnan?" Pei was overjoyed and wrote to his left and right, so that he would no longer compete with Gui for credit." - "Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty". Wang Can
