Chapter 1131 Yuangai Suwen's thoughts
"Report! The Sui army has arrived at the Loess Beach ten miles away." On the morning of July 21, Yuangasuwen stood at the top of the Annan County city, and a spy knelt on one knee and reported loudly.

"How many troops did the Sui army come?"
"Report to the general, there are only about five thousand."
"Five thousand? Are you sure you read it right?"
"What Bei Zhi and a team of spies saw with their own eyes will never be mistaken, there are only about 5,000 people."
"Five thousand... Could it be the forward? Is there a main force behind?"
"Report to the general, there is no main force behind."
"Young Master, since they only have 5,000 people, the last general asks to lead people out of the city and will defeat the enemy." Jin Yibei shouted beside Yuan Gaisuwen.
"General Jin, do you think that Wang Junlin is a fool, how could he send 5,000 people to attack our county town? This is probably bait. You must not leave the city easily." Cui Shengjun said.
Jin Yibei wanted to argue, but at this moment, another explorer entered the city from the North City Gate, ran up the city wall, and before coming to Yuangaisuwen, he knelt on one knee and said loudly: "General Qi, we found that the main enemy forces of about 14,000 people and horses ten miles north of the city were heading towards the Hei Shui Canyon."
"They want to ambush the reinforcements sent by the king." Yuan Gaisuwen frowned.
"Young Master, then should we send someone to notify reinforcements?" Jin Yibei said.
Cui Shengjun sneered: "General Jin, with the terrain of the Black Water Canyon, do you think our messenger can pass through the Wang Junlin army to blockade."
Jin Yibei said: "The messenger can take a detour."
Cui Shengjun said: "It's too late to bypass the Black Water Canyon."

Goguryeo had 20,000 reinforcements, commanded by Li Guangsheng, a general from Goguryeo and a great family from another great family in Goguryeo. On the morning of July 21, he advanced to the edge of the Wusu Grand Canyon and slowly entered the combat range.
After Yang Guang led a million troops to defeat the Goguryeo people, Wang Junlin led less than 20,000 people and finally began a head-on field battle to defeat the Goguryeo army.
This battle was very important to Wang Junlin's plan. He would destroy these 20,000 Goguryeo reinforcements in one fell swoop. Before Yuan Taizuo sent his main army to come, Goguryeo was unable to gather the army to attack Annan County. He could support the Jin family and establish a puppet country in Annan County.
With the Jin clan in front, and these days he intends not to let the army invade Goguryeo's army, he will soon stabilize the Annan Kingdom and quickly recruit troops among the people of Annan County in the name of Annan Kingdom.
Now with the 30,000 naval troops from Huang Shaolai, Wang Junlin was able to control his troops with 50,000 troops. He recruited another 50,000 troops in Annan County and formed a 100,000 army. He was confident that he would firmly defend Annan Kingdom in the fierce attack of the main force of Goguryeo behind.

The most violent battle is about to come with autumn.
The vast 20,000 people extended nearly two or three miles away on the terrain at the junction of the plain and the canyon. The range of the army's radiation was oval. Due to the different types of troops and propulsion, the entire battlefield was divided into several layers by various military formations.
Extending in front of the military formation are naturally the scouts scattered. Ten thousand infantrymen are divided into three columns and followed closely. Ten thousand cavalrymen are divided into left, right, middle, and the four positions behind preventing raids that may occur from all directions. The Li Guangsheng Shipin flag is located in the middle.
Judging from the army's advance, Li Guangsheng is a man of knowledgeable military affairs and should have rich experience in combat formations.
The army was advancing, rising and falling, and the 20,000 troops slowly moved forward, the flags stretched out in pieces, which was the middle formation. Li Guangsheng's commanding flag was advancing on this field, and scouts came from time to time to report the situation in front, back, and around.
Li Guangsheng was wearing military uniform and lying on a war horse. The information sent by the spies would be reported to him as soon as possible.
The spies who entered the Usu Grand Canyon in advance did not find any abnormalities. At Li Guangsheng's order, the army entered the Usu Grand Canyon.

Annan County City.
Liu Yidong led a five thousand army directly bypassing Annan County City from the south, blocking the north gate of Annan County City, and had no intention of siege, just to prevent the eight thousand troops in Annan County City from going to Heishui Canyon.
However, he suffered a great loss in front of Wang Junlin several times, and each time he was defeated very badly. Even though only five thousand people came, the defenders standing at the top of Annan County, whether it was Yuan Gaisuwen or every soldier, did not dare to relax at all. They were fully armed, crossbow arrows, strong bows, rolling stones, tinders, lime powder and other things to defend the city were also ready.
Even though he knew that there were only five thousand people outside the city, Yuan Gai Suwen never thought of leaving the city to fight. Jin Yibei had already hired troops no less than ten times, but he rejected them.
Just kidding, they had eight thousand people, of which only four thousand elites. Even if they went out of the city and won by eight thousand and five thousand, the so-called "injuring one thousand enemies and hurting eight hundred themselves", how many people were left, not to mention that they were facing the army of Wang Junlin, who was said to have never lost the battle. Moreover, he did not have these eight thousand people. Even if he turned around and drove Wang Junlin out of Annan County with reinforcements, he could still control Annan County for his father. Li Guangsheng was the direct line of the king Gao Jianwu.
"The current plan depends on the result of the battle between the 20,000 reinforcements led by Li Guangsheng and Wang Junlin's 15,000 ambush troops. No matter what, these 20,000 are regular troops, and there are 5,000 of them elite troops sent from Pyongyang." Yoon Gaisuwen stood at the top of the city, looking at the 5,000 troops camping three miles outside the city, and couldn't help but murmur.

Wang Junlin led 14,000 people to ambush 20,000 people, which was the minority to ambush the majority.
Li Guangsheng rode his horse in the middle of the central army and spread his horse three miles away. This was already extremely cautious in places like Hei Shui Grand Canyon.
However, this was just because Li Guangsheng was cautious and steady. He actually never thought that Wang Junlin would lead the main army to abandon Annan County City and ambush him.
After all, there were eight thousand people in the Annan County city behind. If Wang Junlin wanted to ambush their Goguryeo reinforcements, he would have to divide at least five thousand troops to watch Yuan Gaisuwen's eight thousand people.
In this way, Wang Junlin had only a maximum of 14,000 troops, which was at least 6,000 less than their number. He was still ambushing them?
Although Li Guangsheng knew that the Prime Minister and Yuan Gai Suwen and his son had suffered great losses at the hands of this Qinan Gong of the Great Sui Dynasty, he thought that Wang Junlin was not easy to deal with, and the army he led was mostly strong in combat, but he never believed that he could not defeat more than 10,000 people with 20,000 people, not to mention that he brought 10,000 elite palace troops from Pyongyang.
The horses were constantly rewarded and no ambush was found.
