Wang Junlin finally said: "What Mr. Tang said is absolutely true, and I deeply believe it to be true."
After saying the test words, Wang Junlin gave another clear signal. Li Yuan looked solemn and began to enter the important link. He sighed and said: "I hope the army will conquer Goguryeo and conquer Pyongyang as soon as possible!"
Wang Junlin looked at Li Yuan and said, "Don't you think Tang Gong is optimistic about this expedition to Goguryeo?"
Li Yuan hesitated for a moment and said: "I don't think our Sui Dynasty will lose, but our Sui Dynasty dispatched more than one million troops, more than three million people working as slaves, and consumed a huge amount of food and grass. Even if we win, it will definitely be the same."
Injuring the enemy a thousand times will result in a loss of eight hundred."
Wang Junlin praised: "I admire Duke Tang for being able to realize this."
Wang Junlin is telling the truth. Many people know that this battle should not be fought. It is actually not difficult. Some knowledgeable people will know it just by looking at the current situation of the Sui Dynasty. But no matter what they think, they all think that the Sui Dynasty can win.
, after all, the difference in military strength and the difference in national power are so huge.
Therefore, except for the two cheaters like him and Nie Xiaoyu, there are absolutely very few people like Tang Guogong Li Yuan who can see that the Sui Dynasty will lose miserably even if they win.
However, Wang Junlin could also see that although Li Yuan was not optimistic about the outcome of this war, he still hoped that the Sui Dynasty could successfully sweep away Goguryeo.
"Qin An Gong is so complimentary." Li Yuan humbly said, sighed again, and said quietly: "In this expedition to Liao, nearly a hundred envoys from the country followed the army to watch the battle. If we win, we can also scare the barbarians. If
It will be unfavorable for the army to move out, not to mention the Turks and other countries may have strange movements..." He sighed and shook his head: "Even the counties in the Sui Dynasty... I am afraid there will be chaos!"
"Before the troubled times come, I want to form a close alliance with Duke An of Qin and help each other secretly." Li Yuan finally said the ultimate goal of the day.
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "Why does Mr. Li have to meet outside? With the relationship between Xuanba and me, our two families have already formed an alliance."
Li Yuan was overjoyed. To be honest, the current situation of the Li family was not good. After being dismissed from the position of prefect, they did not even have a place to stay. Although he tried his best to show off in front of Yang Guang, he secretly gave Yu Wenshu, Yu Shiji and
Pei Shiju and other close ministers of the emperor sent a lot of benefits, but it is not certain whether they can succeed! Moreover, what he wants to plot is the prefect of Taiyuan County in Hedong. This is a good place. There are many people who are eyeing the position of prefect, such as
Taiyuan Wang family.
…
…
After meeting with Li Yuan, Wang Junlin immediately set off and took a boat south to Fanyang County.
Before coming to Liaodong, Wang Junlin had already made arrangements. Six thousand elite soldiers from the salt field led by Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong, and four thousand elite soldiers led by Yuchi Jingde also secretly transported them all to Da Mi Island and Bai Ling Island in large ships. Their total number was
Ten thousand naval elites were also concentrated on the two islands.
When Wang Junlin returned to Fanyang County, Fanyang County Naval Chief Zhao Chen and his 30,000 naval forces were eagerly waiting to set off.
In early April, Wang Junlin directly ordered Zhao Chen to advance along the coastline towards Goguryeo, and he went directly to Daami Island and Baengnyeong Island.
Although the combat power of the 30,000 navy is not as powerful as the 10,000 navy trained in the Shedao training camp, and the equipment is also quite different, but now that the Goguryeo navy has been crippled by Wang Junlin, these 30,000 navy are enough to contain Goguryeo.
A lot of energy, and in Wang Junlin's plan, the role of these 30,000 navy troops is not small.
Moreover, he did not need to go there personally to control the 30,000 navy. With Huang Shaoqiu's presence, he was not worried about the 30,000 navy being disobedient.
"No matter what, before the emperor conquered Goguryeo, our plan at sea was basically realized. Even if the emperor led a million-strong army and was defeated, Goguryeo would not be any better because of our existence!" Wang Junlin stood.
He said with emotion in front of the wall chart of the offensive and defensive line situation on the southern coast of Goguryeo.
Yang Kongchan said: "According to the emperor's will, before he sends troops to cross the Liao River and invade Goguryeo, your Excellency cannot move out..."
Wang Junlin sneered and said: "We can't openly violate the emperor's will at the moment, let's wait for now!"
…
…
It is naturally impossible for Yang Guang to stay on the west bank of the Liao River with an army of more than one million people.
On April 15, the sixth year of Daye, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty personally commanded and launched a strong attack on the east bank of the Liao River. The vanguard was Zuowuwei, Zuotunwei and Youwuwei, with a total of more than 90,000 troops, all of them government soldiers.
Elite, not a single civilian recruited temporarily.
Yu Wenkai, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was ordered to build a pontoon bridge for the army. More than 40,000 people, with inflated animal urine tied to their waists, carried planks, bamboo poles and short stakes and jumped into the cold Liao River ahead of the army.
It was already spring at this time, but spring in Liaodong came much later. The Liao River water was in the spring flood, and it was cold and fast. In less than half a stick of incense, more than 400 craftsmen involved in building the bridge were already swept by the river water.
Let’s go. Others who gritted their teeth and persisted in the water had their lips turned purple due to the cold water, and their hands and feet became increasingly weak.
Yang Guang was unmoved. In his eyes, it seemed that the dead were not people, but more than 400 ants. He ordered the construction of the pontoon bridge to continue and requested that the speed be accelerated.
His order was quickly passed on. As craftsmen and soldiers responsible for building the pontoon bridge continued to die, the pontoon bridge stretched hard to the other side. When it was approaching the center of the river, the Goguryeo army on the other side, which had been prepared for a long time, also moved.
stand up.
Thousands of Goguryeo soldiers wearing heavy armor rushed to the shore and erected a wooden wall with giant shields. Behind the wooden wall, thousands of Goguryeo warriors wearing light armor pushed over forty vehicles for city attack and defense.
On the crossbow cart, use an ox-drawn horse to draw the bow string, and mount the crossbow arrow with the remaining length of the staff on the crossbow bed.
Compared with the navy that was crushed and destroyed in the hands of Wang Junlin and had no power to fight back, the army on land of Goguryeo has been fighting against Silla and Baekje all year round. They are also elite, and their weapons and equipment are no worse than those of the Sui Dynasty.
.
This is mainly because the Sui Dynasty had some good things, and Goguryeo quickly learned from it. In this regard, the entire Sui Dynasty was extremely arrogant. They even knew not to buy weapons and iron tools for the Turks, but they seemed to have no regard for Goguryeo.
Awareness of confidentiality.
The spring floods in the Liaohe River are approaching, and the wind on the water is very strong. When the distance is far, ordinary bows and arrows cannot cause trouble to the other party. Therefore, both sides invariably thought of crossbows, and a long-distance crossbow battle began on both sides of the river.
The sound of the surging water was quickly covered up by the whistling sound caused by the crossbow arrows breaking through the air. The first person fell into the river, was gently rolled up by the waves, and disappeared after a circle of red ripples. Followed by the second person.
The second one, the third one, the craftsmen and civilians who had no weapons except wood in their hands had nowhere to dodge, and watched helplessly as thick wood flew towards them one after another, passing through the bodies of several people at the same time.
Soon hundreds of craftsmen and people died. The fear of death caused the living craftsmen and people to get into chaos and wanted to escape, but they were surrounded by fast water. Once they left the pontoon, they didn't know where they would be washed away by the river.
Go. He wanted to retreat, but his retreat was blocked by his companions. At the beginning of the pontoon, hundreds of Supervisory Sui soldiers armed with bows and arrows came forward fiercely, and the dozen who had escaped did not hesitate to go directly
Shot to death.
ps: Sorry, there are only two updates today, and there are some glitches. The next battle is very critical. I have to think carefully about how the protagonist can break the situation————
