Wang Rengong's expression changed greatly, and he immediately yelled at the top of his lungs for the entire army to retreat, and immediately withdrew from the enemy camp. The two buglers next to him blew the retreat horn as quickly as possible.
However, it was already too late.
The horns of the Sui army had just sounded. Outside the Goguryeo camp, shouts of killing came from all directions. The tide of Goguryeo troops emerged from the surrounding mountains, forests and canyons. Rounds of arrows rained down from the sky, almost
The 150,000 Sui troops that had dispersed were all covered.
In the dark room, countless Sui soldiers fell into the hail of arrows, their desperate screams and dazzling firelight intertwined into a hellish scene.
Wang Rengong's face turned extremely ugly, and his body on the horse was shaking violently. Seeing that the cavalry he had brought were surrounded, and the screams were heard, everyone felt panic and fell into chaos. There were already Sui
The soldiers fled in panic.
At this moment, Wang Rengong's whole life seemed to have quietly flowed away as if he had been hit by an arrow.
Although Wang Rengong was the youngest among the twelve generals of the Sui Dynasty, he was actually already over forty years old. After many years of fighting in the south and north, Wang Rengong had never encountered such a disastrous defeat. He had experienced hundreds of battles.
The humiliation of being ambushed by the enemy was worse than the crisis at the moment. What's more, he didn't want to attack the camp tonight. This was forced by His Majesty the Emperor!
Hundreds of soldiers around him held shields and tried their best to protect Wang Rengong. Wang Rengong was almost surrounded by shields. The shields blocked the arrows in the sky and the firelight of the enemy camp.
He could only hear the sound of countless arrows hitting the shield, but everything in front of him was dark.
After all, the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were famous all over the world for their bravery. There was a brief moment of panic after the ambush. As the generals at all levels organized their own manpower hoarsely, they finally organized a counterattack, and then formed a formation to move towards the outside of the encirclement.
Charge and kill, trying to break through.
The ambush of the Goryeo enemy army was very subtle, and Yuan Taizuo once again proved his commanding and strategic skills to the world with facts. However, he still underestimated the fighting power of the Sui army's soldiers when they were in a desperate situation.
After a desperate fight, the defensive line on the west side of the encirclement was torn open by the Sui army in formation. The hole became bigger and bigger. Finally, like the Yellow River bursting its banks, the Sui army finally broke out, and the Korean enemy tried to pursue them.
, but their cavalry number was less than 70,000, and Wang Rengong left 6,000 cavalry behind to fight to the death.
These six thousand cavalrymen all carried sabers and waved them against the firelight of the dark night. The light of the sabers reflected the firelight, like a shining sea of fire in the night, and blocked the pursuit of the Goryeo enemy with murderous intent.
These six thousand people stopped 200,000 Goguryeo people alive, but at the cost of almost all of them dying in battle.
Taking advantage of the time bought by the lives of 6,000 men, Wang Rengong led 80,000 cavalry and fled back. Yuan Taizuo did not send anyone to chase him, but gathered his troops.
The remaining nearly 70,000 Sui cavalrymen never returned. It is unknown whether they died in battle, were captured, surrendered, or escaped at night.

Yang Guang has completely taken control of Liaodong City, and all the resisting Goguryeo people in the city have been killed. In addition to the 10,000 troops left behind to guard Liaodong City, the Nine Route Army has also made preparations to divide its forces and continue to attack the entire territory of Goguryeo.
At this time, Wang Rengong returned to camp, and with him came 80,000 defeated troops.
His personal guards tried their best to protect Wang Rengong, but Wang Rengong was still injured. He was carried back by the personal guards. Yang Guang was shocked after hearing the news. He did not think of having Wang Rengong healed, but ordered someone to carry Wang Rengong in front of him. .
During this battle, Wang Rengong was hit by an arrow in his left leg and back. He was bleeding and fell into a semi-conscious state. When he was carried to Yang Guang, Wang Rengong tried to cheer up and looked at Yang Guang's furious face and eyes. Wang Rengong felt desolate in his heart and resentful for no reason. However, he licked his lips a few times and finally shed tears. He weakly muttered "I deserve to die for my crime", and then fell into coma again.
After Yang Guang ordered his men to count the casualties, he directly ordered the killing of Youwuwei General Wang Rengong, regardless of everyone's obstruction. This caused great dissatisfaction among Youwuwei officers and soldiers, and also made the generals feel sad for the death of a rabbit.

After this defeat, and Yang Guang not only failed to take measures to restore morale, but instead killed Wang Rengong, the morale of the army returned to the state before the Liaodong City was captured.
Just after Wang Rengong was beheaded, a news quietly spread throughout the army.
There were secret rumors in the army that the fault of this disastrous defeat was not with General Wang Rengong, but because the Emperor urged Wang Rengong to attack, which led to the ambush by the Goguryeo people.
After the news spread, some people thought of His Majesty the Emperor's foolish "benevolent will" when he attacked Liaodong City. In addition, the number of sick people in the army was increasing, and many soldiers were afraid and no longer wanted to fight. Invisibly, The morale of the army has almost reached rock bottom.

The epidemic that broke out in Liaodong spread to Youzhou in April. The latest epidemic occurred in Beiping County. A large number of civilians who fled from Liaodong gathered in Beiping County. Many of them fell ill and died in Beiping County. As early as in Beiping County, Before the epidemic appeared in the county, Wang Junlin sent someone to Du Ruhui, who was in charge of the stay-at-home work in Fanyang County, to remind him to pay attention to the epidemic coming from the north, and sent people to deliver measures and regulations to prevent the disease from being introduced into Fanyang County.
Du Ruhui strictly implemented the measures and regulations sent by Wang Junlin, and immediately issued an emergency order, forcing all people outside the city in the eight counties of Fanyang County to move into the city. The city was paved with lime, and the people drank ginger soup every day. They were allowed to drink raw water, and at the same time, two thousand soldiers were sent to guard the Jiaoshan Pass coming from the direction of Youzhou, which was the only way to enter Fanyang County from Youzhou.
Of course, it is not a rude approach to keep everyone out of the country, but hundreds of large tents were set up outside the Jiaoshan Pass. Every civilian who fled from the north and was originally from Fanyang County stayed here for ten days. Indeed, Only those who are not sick will be given food and rice and allowed to go home, while those with fever will be isolated.
Despite this, a large number of homesick civilians crossed the mountains and entered Fanyang County, leaving two thousand soldiers and horses unable to defend themselves. Du Ruhui had to order each county to send county soldiers to form a patrol army to patrol within Fanyang County and arrest those who escaped from the north at any time. Those who are infected should be isolated and diagnosed nearby.
It was just dawn when Du Ruhui got up and washed his face carelessly. He didn't bother to eat breakfast, so he rode to the county government office not far away. He wanted to discuss something with Liu Ziming.
