The fighting between the two armies by the Liao River continued for a whole day. By evening, there were no less than 30,000 corpses lying on the ground on both sides.
Finally, the flags of Goguryeo began to appear in confusion. This was because the generals of Goguryeo had lost confidence in victory. Although they were all moving forward, they did not respond and cooperate with each other. Once a partial failure occurred, the whole army would definitely be passive and irreversible.
Endgame!
At this time, it would be useless even if Goguryeo destroyed the pontoon bridge. The soldiers crossing the river had already launched a large formation, at least 50,000 soldiers and horses. At this time, unless Goguryeo still had a large number of ambushes, it would be difficult for them to
Save the defeat.
Sure enough, after the battle lasted for another half an hour, the Goguryeo people began to be defeated.
Once the defeat began, it was out of control. In a short period of time, the fighting spirit of the entire Goguryeo army was destroyed.
Before Yuan Taizuo, who was trembling with anger, gave the order to retreat and withdraw in an orderly manner, most of the Goguryeo soldiers began to flee. Even if their opponents were close at hand, they would rather be hacked to death from behind than turn around and fight.
When Yang Guang saw this scene, he was trembling with excitement and excitement. This was the scene he wanted to see. The envoys from the Ninety-nine Kingdoms began to praise one after another, and the language they used became more gorgeous and flattering than the last. Many officials of the Sui Dynasty also began to praise the Sui Dynasty.
With the emperor's civil and martial arts, Yang Guang felt that he was already an emperor through the ages who could rival Qin Huang and Han Wu, and he also had to show a better side than Qin Huang and Han Wu. For example, Qin Huang and Han Wu's army was murderous, while his army was benevolent and righteous.
The army.
Thinking like this, Yang Guangda said in a loud voice: "Give me the order, as long as the Goguryeo people surrender, no one is allowed to kill them.
Yang Guang's order was quickly conveyed. Yu Wenshu and Wang Rengong, who were leading the army on the front line and were chasing the enemy, were immediately furious. This was not the time to take prisoners into custody at all, because they did not have an advantage in the number of troops who had crossed the pontoon bridge.
, a large number of troops began to cross the river. Taking prisoners at this time would disperse their forces. Under normal circumstances, the prisoners would be taken after a pursuit.
In this battle, the three armies of Zuo Yiwei, Zuo Wuwei and Youyuwei advanced together and pursued them for more than forty miles before stopping. When they reached the end of the pursuit, they had left behind people to detain prisoners along the way, so their strength was exhausted.
However, Yuan Taizuo organized a counterattack, causing the Sui Dynasty to lose more than 4,000 people. It was not until a large number of Sui troops arrived later that the reorganized Goguryeo army was frightened and fled into Liaodong City again.
Liaodong City was already in sight, and he was worried about the enemy's counterattack in the city. Zi Wenshujun cautiously ordered the soldiers to stop pursuing. His qualifications in the army were much higher than those of the other two generals. Therefore, as soon as Zuo Yiwei's troops stopped,
The other two guards also immediately retracted their steps.
Although there were some problems due to Yang Guang's order in the end, the Sui army returned with a triumphant song and camped on the east bank of the Liao River. While cleaning up the battlefield, they sent people to help all the millions of troops cross the river.
In this battle, a total of 21,000 enemies were killed. When the heads of more than 21,000 Goguryeo soldiers were specially presented to His Majesty the Sui Emperor as trophies by Yu Wenshu, looking at the mountains of heads, the envoys from various countries accompanying the army to watch the battle
His face turned pale with fear.
They all immediately expressed their willingness to surrender to the Sui Dynasty forever and become a vassal state of the Sui Dynasty.
The envoys of Baekje and Silla fell to the ground and cried bitterly, begging Yang Guang, the Holy Khan of the Kingdom of Heaven, to destroy Goguryeo as soon as possible to eliminate the suffering of Baekje and Silla from being invaded by it every year.
"I came here to liberate the people, and I am not a murderous lord. Today's battle is not something to be done. I'm just trying to punish you, but I hope you make a mistake!" His Majesty the Sui Emperor, the Sage Heavenly Khan Yang Guang said to Ninety
The envoys from the nine countries gently waved their hands to stop their praise and flattery, "Today, it is not for fame and fortune that we are blaming the people for their crimes. The purpose of the army is to appease, not to kill."
Looking back, the satisfied Yang Guang ordered the 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 may be appropriate to caress and accept it, but not to send troops!"
"Yes!" Although the commander of the 24th Route Army was extremely disapproving, he still bowed and said yes.
In response to the reports below that the Sui army had killed 16,000 people and injured more than 4,000 people. Minzhuang, who built the pontoon bridge, had lost more than 10,000 people in the past few days. Yang Guang just frowned slightly, thinking that he had an army of millions and countless soldiers.
To the people, the loss of these people is nothing, or in other words, it is just a number to him, and it seems that he does not take it to heart.
…
…
Outside Daluo City, Wang Junlin has been leading people to attack the city for five days.
Wang Junlin was riding a blood-maned horse a hundred steps away, calmly observing the city wall of Daluo City, and found that under the suppression of the rapid-fire crossbows and giant trebuchets, he had not seen any Goguryeo soldiers at the top of the city for quite a while.
Come on.
At this time, another attack on the city began. Guan Xiaotong's 1,000 infantrymen were divided into five teams and hung ten ladders on the city plate at the same time. The city was actually quiet. Wang Junlin frowned slightly. He was worried about the Goguryeo people.
Is there any powerful backhand?
The first batch of soldiers began to climb up the ladder, and Wang Junlin felt nervous unconsciously. Although he had fought many battles, his emotions still fluctuated every time he faced a battle.
The first soldier approached the top of the city, and the soldiers below the city let out a wave of cheers. They saw him pause for a moment at the mouth of the city, and then he jumped into the city with a sword.
The second and third soldiers jumped on the city wall. The people below the city cheered like thunder, but there was no sound of fighting at the top of the city. Wang Junlin didn’t know what tricks the Goguryeo people were playing. While he was nervously guessing, a soldier from the special operations battalion
The scouts came running at high speed and reported loudly: "The commander of the cavalry battalion, Yuchi Jingde, reported to your lord that the north gate of Daluo City was wide open. Thousands of Goguryeo people escaped on horseback, and more than 3,000 escaped on foot. The cavalry battalion and the special operations battalion
The scouts are in pursuit."
Wang Junlin felt relieved. After defending the city for four days, the enemy was finally defeated by their endless secret weapons and powerful methods. He was worried that the entire army would be annihilated in the end, so he couldn't help but escape.
"Zhang Tiangang!" Wang Junlin shouted loudly.
"Please give me your instructions." Zhang Tiangang hurriedly came over.
"You lead all the special forces to catch up! By the way, tell Yuchi Jingde that you should use bloodletting tactics to chase the enemy all the way. The time should not exceed three days. It would be better if you can kill them all. Don't let us lose too much."
We pursued them and retreated when they encountered large reinforcements from Goguryeo."
Zhang Tiangang couldn't wait for a long time, lowered his head and said excitedly: "I obey my orders."
"Choose a few guides who can ride horses among the auxiliary soldiers brought from Nanyang Village. They will be effective. This time, use the rangers to attack the enemy. You must remember not to fight. Every blow is a blow.
The purpose of the cavalry is to retreat immediately and come and go like the wind. Tell Yuchi Jingde what I said."
"I understand!" Zhang Tiangang bowed again and agreed.
