Yeon Gaesumun sighed and said, "If General Cui has any good ideas, please tell me!"
Cui Shengjun hurriedly said: "My humble duty is indeed to ask the general to change his tactics. The Sui people are very willing to fight. The damage to our army is actually not heavy, but we are defeated in every small battle. There is no chance of winning if we attack the entire army and strengthen the city." Attack once and get a high reward..."
"Let's call all the generals to discuss matters tomorrow! I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat them even if we attack with all our strength. Maybe we can find a way to lure them out..." Yeon Gaesumun didn't agree immediately, thought for a moment and said slowly.
…
…
That night, the skirmishers of Goguryeo soldiers harassed the troops all night long, and warnings continued to be heard from the front, which only became quiet half an hour before dawn.
In the early morning of the next day, there was a surge of people behind the Goguryeo earthen wall. Thousands of Goguryeo soldiers entered the trench in the middle after breakfast. Because of the existence of the hillside to the west, they could not achieve surprise, so they simply took a storming stance. The trebuchets and long-range crossbows on the western hillside were firing intermittently, causing bursts of commotion among the huge Goguryeo crowd. Due to the large consumption of stone bullets and crossbows, the frequency of long-range attacks was now far less than before.
Wang Junlin arrived at the north wall of the city early. The area of the dam ditch in the telescope was already crisscrossed with ditches, and there were curved earthen ramparts piled on the ground. Countless ladders and spears could be seen shaking among them.
The troops on Wang Junlin's side are taking their positions behind the earthen wall. As the defensive side, Wang Junlin's soldiers can take turns resting in the Bailing City. The relatively safe environment makes the rest more effective and allows them to maintain high morale.
At the first quarter of the hour, Yeon Gaesumun's banner appeared in the east of the middle road. This was the first time he had been so close to the battle line. Wang Junlin said to Liu Yidong: "You guess Yeon Gaesumun is hiding in In their tunnel, do they still dare to climb up the earthen wall and wait and see?"
Liu Yidong thought about it and said with a smile: "I'm afraid if you don't dare to go up the earth wall, Yuan Gaisuwen will run to the east and you won't be able to hit him."
"Sir, our sentry ship at sea has received the information from Guo'er through the drift bottle. Yeon Gaesomun will pretend to be defeated in today's battle and lure us to dispatch the main force out of the trench to pursue. Then Yeongaesomun will use The elites prepared in advance cut off our retreat, severely damaged us outside the trench, and even killed us all." Zhang Tiangang ran to the top of the city and reported urgently to Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin's eyes flashed and he said: "Okay, Guo'er's information is so timely. You replied to Guo'er, and when Goguryeo pretended to be defeated, Yeon Gaesumun was suddenly poisoned and fell into coma."
Zhang Tiangang agreed and left in a hurry.
Yang Kongchan said from the side: "Your Excellency, you have worked so hard to win the victory with the least loss for our soldiers!"
Wang Junlin smiled: "Not only to save us losses, I also took a fancy to these more than 10,000 Goguryeo soldiers. After capturing them, they were sent to the Shedao training camp in batches and given to Xiaoyu for training for a year. A good army."
…
…
The battlefield on that day was just like the information sent by Shen Guoer. By noon, the Goguryeo people collapsed, and thousands of Goguryeo people fled.
The entire Goguryeo defense line collapsed like an avalanche. The Goguryeo soldiers behind the earthen wall gave up all their remaining baggage and fled. Some of the remaining auxiliary soldiers were like headless flies. Some of them were well prepared and were hiding in the trenches. As long as Wang Junlin's soldiers Appearing in front of them, they immediately came out and shouted surrender.
Looking down from the west hillside, thousands of ants are running wildly in the wilderness at the foot of the mountain, and the ground is full of fallen soldiers' armor. Yeon Gaesomun carefully planned the fake rout and it was very successful, and it was very similar. But with Shen From Guoer's intelligence, Wang Junlin still saw that there were about 5,000 elites who seemed to be scattered, but in fact they always maintained formation and were divided into two teams running on both wings. As long as Wang Junlin's party got out of the trench, the two teams of Goguryeo elites would It will definitely go around from both sides to the back and block the escape route.
Wang Junlin cooperated very well with Yeon Gaesumun and ordered all 3,000 men and horses in the ditch and the city to dispatch to pursue him. Yeon Gaesumun, who was standing on a high ground far away and witnessed the scene, was ecstatic when he heard the news, but suddenly he felt My calf seemed to be stung by something, and then I let out a cry of pain, fell to the ground, and passed out.
Yeon Gaesumun fell into a coma, which suddenly caused the Goguryeo army to lose its backbone. The Goguryeo troops lost their unified deployment, and the pretended rout suddenly turned into a real rout. The five thousand elite troops who originally wanted to go behind could not reach Yuan for a long time. After Gaesumun's order, the Sui army that was catching up suddenly shouted: "Yeon Gaesumun is dead."
The five thousand men and horses were so panicked that they no longer cared about blocking any escape routes and fled with them. Many of them even abandoned their armor.
…
Wang Junlin's banner appeared on the west hillside, and there was a chaos of troops at the foot of the mountain. There were cheers inside and outside Bailing City. Luo Shixin, Li Xuanba, and Zhang Tiangang each led a thousand men to chase after the defeated troops, shooting down the Goguryeo soldiers who fell behind.
Due to the obstruction of Banmagou and the Goguryeo earthen wall, Wang Junlin's soldiers were not able to pursue effectively, and the casualties were not serious. However, this time the main force of Goguryeo was here, and the feeling of defeat would be transmitted to the entire Goguryeo army. They always thought that they A large number of people were slaughtered.
"Sir, you can actually let Zhang Tiangang, Li Xuanba, and Luo Shixin pursue you more fiercely." Liu Yidong led hundreds of people to stay in the city. At this time, he couldn't help but said to Wang Junlin, "Goguryeo's defense line has collapsed and the morale of our army is shaken. You can fight with him."
Wang Junlin looked at the bottom of the mountain carefully, shook his head slightly and said: "The Goguryeo soldiers still have no less than 10,000 people, and our army only has 3,000 people on Bailing Island. I have no advantage in terms of military strength. The dam ditch and the earth wall have blocked the troops from entering. The speed, trebuchets and long-range crossbows are also very inconvenient to pass. After we complete the formation, if we pursue in a hurry, the Goguryeo people will have no way to escape, but it will easily arouse them to turn around and fight to the death. I asked the three of them to focus Attack Yeon Gaesumun and arrange for the five thousand close relatives who were supposed to ambush us."
Wang Junlin knew very well that once they started to flee and Yeon Gaesumun was still in a coma, no matter how many Goguryeo soldiers there were, there would be nothing but scattered sand behind them. The next step was how to digest these 10,000 people.
Luo Shixin, Li Xuanba, and Zhang Tiangang each led a thousand people to follow the Goguryeo people, constantly launching an attack posture, causing them greater panic.
The rapid-fire crossbows killed Goguryeo soldiers. Once a Goguryeo general tried to organize troops, they would focus on the formation of those Goguryeo soldiers until they were completely dispersed.
The continuous bloodletting attack tactics lasted for a day. As darkness fell, the Goguryeo army, which had lost its commander, was completely defeated. There was almost no thought of counterattack. More than 3,000 people surrendered along the way, and the remaining 7,000 It's only a matter of time before people surrender.
