"Report! The Sui army has arrived at the loess beach ten miles away." On the morning of July 21, Yuan Gaisu Wen stood at the head of Annan County. A spy knelt on one knee and reported loudly.

"How many troops did the Sui army come?"
"Reporting to the general, there are only about five thousand."
"Five thousand? Are you sure you read that correctly?"
"I brought a team of spies to see it with my own eyes. I will never mistake it. There are about five thousand people."
"Five thousand...could it be the forward? Is there still a main force behind?"
"Reporting to the general, there is no main force behind."
"Young Master, since they only have 5,000 people here, I will ask you to lead them out of the city to defeat the enemy." Jin Yibei said loudly next to Yeon Gaesumun.
"General Jin, do you think Wang Junlin is a fool? How could he send five thousand people to attack our county? This is probably a bait. Don't leave the city easily." Cui Shengjun said.
Jin Yibei still wanted to argue. At this moment, another detective entered the city from the north gate, ran up the city wall, came to Yeon Gaesumun, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Report to General Qi, there is a discovery ten miles north of the city." The enemy's main force, about 14,000 men and horses, is heading towards the Blackwater Canyon."
"They want to ambush the reinforcements sent by the king." Yeon Gaesumun frowned.
"Young Master, should we send someone to notify the reinforcements?" Jin Yibei said.
Cui Shengjun sneered: "General Jin, given the terrain of the Blackwater Canyon, you think our messenger can pass through Wang Junlin's army blockade."
Jin Yibei said: "The messenger can take a detour."
Cui Shengjun said: "By the time we get around the Blackwater Canyon, it's already too late."

Goguryeo's 20,000 reinforcements, led by the Goguryeo general Li Guangsheng, who was from the Li family, another great family in Goguryeo, advanced to the edge of the Wusu Grand Canyon on the morning of July 21, and slowly entered the fighting range.
After Yang Guang led a million-strong army to a disastrous defeat at the hands of 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. The 20,000 Goguryeo reinforcements were crippled in one fell swoop. Before Yuan Taizuo sent the main army, Goguryeo could no longer gather an army to attack Annan County, so he could support the Jin family. Established a puppet state in Annan County.
With the Jin family in the front, and his intention to prevent the army from invading the Goguryeo army these days, the Annan Kingdom will soon be stabilized, and in the name of the Annan Kingdom, troops will be quickly recruited from the people of Annan County.
Now with the addition of Huang Shaolai's 30,000 navy, Wang Junlin can already control 50,000 troops under his command. He recruits another 50,000 troops from the locals in Annan County to form an army of 100,000. He is confident that Yuan Taizuo will lead the main force of Goguryeo behind. He firmly defended Annan Kingdom from the fierce attack.
…
…
The most violent fighting is about to come with the arrival of autumn.
A mighty 20,000 people stretched out for nearly two or three miles on the terrain at the junction of plains and canyons. The radiation range of the army was oval. Due to different types of arms and advancement, the entire battlefield was divided into various military formations. Made several layers.
Extending in front of the military formation are naturally the scattered scout troops. Ten thousand infantry are divided into three columns to follow closely. Ten thousand cavalry are divided into four positions: left, right, middle and rear to guard against attacks from all directions. There may be a surprise attack. Li Guangsheng's flag is located in the middle.
Judging from the march of the army, this Li Guangsheng is a man who knows soldiers well and should have rich experience in battle formations.
As the army advances, the flags rise and fall. As the 20,000-man army marches slowly forward, the flags stretch into a field. This is the central formation. Li Guangsheng's flags advance over the wilderness, and scouts come over from time to time. Before reporting,
Then, the surrounding situation.
Li Guangsheng was dressed in military uniform and was sitting on a war horse. Information from the spies would be reported to him as soon as possible.
The spies who entered the Wusu Grand Canyon in advance did not detect anything unusual. Li Guangsheng gave an order and the army entered the Wusu Grand Canyon.

Annan County.
Liu Yidong led an army of 5,000 people to directly bypass Annan County City from the south and block the north gate of Annan County City. He had no intention of attacking the city, just to prevent the 8,000 troops in Annan County City from going to the Blackwater Canyon.
However, they suffered heavy losses in front of Wang Junlin several times, and each time they were defeated miserably. Even if only five thousand people came, the defenders standing at the head of Annan County City, whether it was Yeon Gaesumun or every
The soldiers did not dare to relax at all. They were fully armed, with crossbows and arrows, strong bows strung, rolling stones, kerosene, lime powder and other defensive items in place.
Although he knew that there were only 5,000 people outside the city, Yeon Gaesooun never thought of leaving the city to fight. Jin Yibei had asked for troops no less than ten times, but he rejected them all.
Just kidding, they have 8,000 people, of whom there are only 4,000 elites. Even if they go out to the city and win with 8,000 against 5,000, as the saying goes, "Injury to the enemy by 1,000, damage to oneself by 800," how many people does he have left, let alone face to face?
The right one is Wang Junlin's army, which is said to have never been defeated. And without these 8,000 men, even if he turns back and drives reinforcements to drive Wang Junlin out of Annan County, he can still control Annan County for his father. Then Li Guangsheng
He is a direct descendant of the country's leader Gao Jianwu.
"The current plan depends on the outcome of the battle between the 20,000 reinforcements led by Li Guangsheng and the 15,000 ambush troops of Wang Junlin. In any case, the 20,000 people are regular troops, and 5,000 of them are sent from Pyongyang.
The elite." Yeon Gaesumun stood at the top of the city, looking at the 5,000 troops encamped three miles outside the city, and couldn't help but murmured to himself.

Wang Junlin led 14,000 people to ambush 20,000 people. This was a small number ambushing the majority.
Li Guangsheng rode his horse in the middle of the army and spread out the scouting horses three miles away. This was considered extremely cautious in a place like the Blackwater Grand Canyon.
However, this was just because Li Guangsheng was cautious. He actually never thought that Wang Junlin would lead the main army to abandon Annan County and ambush him.
After all, there were 8,000 men and horses in Annan County behind. If Wang Junlin wanted to ambush their Goguryeo reinforcements, he would have to divide his troops at least 5,000 men to keep an eye on Yeon Gaesumun's 8,000 men.
In this way, Wang Junlin only had an army of 14,000 at most, which was at least 6,000 fewer than theirs. Why did he come to ambush them?
Although Li Guangsheng knew that the Prime Minister and Yuan Gaisuwen and his son had suffered heavy losses at the hands of Duke An of Qin in the Sui Dynasty, and thought that Wang Junlin would be difficult to deal with, and most of the troops he commanded were also powerful, he never believed in himself.
With 20,000 people, he couldn't defeat the opponent's 10,000 plus people, not to mention that he also brought 10,000 elite palace troops from Pyongyang.
The scouts kept reporting back, but no ambush was found.
"It would be a good thing if Wang Junlin really brought the main force to ambush." Li Guangsheng sighed with some disappointment, and slapped his legs with the riding crop in his hand out of boredom.
