The first thousand one hundred and forty-eight chapters are hooked
Naturally, Yuan Taizuo would not sit back and wait for death, allowing others to harass and attack. Both Goguryeo armies sent a large number of spies to search the surrounding area for thirty miles. However, these spies faced the spies and special forces sent by Shen Guoer, but they won less and lost more, causing heavy casualties. .
In this way, during the day, there are mines to delay and harass. At night, no matter how tight the defense of the Goguryeo army is and no matter how many sentries are dispatched, there will always be someone in the special force who can sneak into the Goguryeo camp, set fire to it, and blow up the camp with gunpowder packets, not to mention how many enemies are killed. The Goguryeo army was not able to sleep well every night, and the consequences were already serious.
After a few days, the two armies of Goguryeo, from Yuan Taizuo to every soldier below, were already frightened and exhausted. Not to mention the difficulty of walking fast the next day, the morale of the troops was severely shaken, because the morale they had built up by escaping was also gone. in rapid decline.
Yuan Taizuo naturally knew the seriousness of the problem, but he could not find a solution to the problem for a while.
In the Yuan Taizuo camp, the next step is being discussed.
"Wang Junlin is extremely treacherous. He actually sent a handful of elite masters to continuously attack us. He also has terrifying weapons like gunpowder in his hands. There is no way to solve this problem."
"But what if we don't solve it? Are we going to let the Sui people steal all the wealth in our capital, kill our people, and then escape calmly?"
"Our military strength is far greater than Wang Junlin's army that attacked Pyongyang, so they are very afraid of being caught up by us. And it is precisely because of this that we have to catch up with them. As long as we catch up with them, we will definitely be able to kill them all. "
"I'm afraid that when we are most outnumbered and chasing the enemy, Wang Junlin's army will suddenly turn around and launch a sneak attack on us. At that time, we will have no strength to fight. Even if our number is four or five times theirs, we can really defeat them."
The generals were arguing, and then a messenger came in, came to Yuan Taizuo, who had been gloomy and silent, and whispered something. Yuan Taizuo became energetic and shouted: "Okay, stop arguing. "
The generals immediately stopped and looked at Yuan Taizuo, who took a deep breath and said: "Just now, I received a very important message. Wang Junlin's main force could not move very fast because he was carrying more than a thousand carts of wealth. Now Hidden away is Sanyang Valley, which is only over a hundred miles away from us."
When all the generals heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up and they were all very happy.
…………
…………
Wang Junlin and his party arrived at the camp.
After reading the information sent by Fei Ying, Shen Guoer smiled slightly and came to see Wang Junlin with a happy face.
"Sir, I just got the news that Yuan Taizuo has taken the bait."
"Very good, send a letter to the armies of Silla and Baekje, asking them to join forces at Samyang Valley and kill Yeon Taejo as planned."
…………
…………
When Yeon Taejo led the army to attack King Junlin of Samyang Valley and his party, Silla Kingdom and Baekje Kingdom each received 30,000 cavalry at almost the same time. They received the flying eagle message sent by Shen Guoer in advance. Then they led their respective 30,000 cavalry to Samyang Valley. Go to Yanggu.
As soon as they entered Sanyang Valley, there was a report from the rear. They said that the Sui army appeared behind them at the entrance of the valley, blocking their retreat. The flag flying above the opponent's head had a big word "王" written on it, and the number of people There are about ten thousand or so.
This was naturally the 10,000 cavalry led by Wang Junlin that they wanted to hunt down.
Yuan Taizuo suddenly became confused. They had already entered the valley. With Wang Junlin's shrewdness, he knew in advance that this was nothing. However, the opponent did not escape, and appeared strangely behind them, blocking their retreat.
What was going on? Yuan Taizuo felt vaguely that something was not good. When he looked at the terrain in the valley, his expression suddenly changed.
The valley is surrounded by mountains on both sides. Although it is not high, the slope is enough for infantry to crawl, but it is enough to make it difficult for cavalry to pass. The depths of the valley are also backed by mountains. The only exit is the mouth of the valley they just entered.
A general took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Wang Junlin has a huge appetite. Although we are exhausted, we still have the advantage in numbers. The mouth of the valley is hundreds of feet long, which is enough to reflect our numerical advantage."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Yuan Taizuo shook his head, his expression still full of worry. He and Wang Junlin had had many confrontations, and he had never taken advantage, and even
Wang Junlin suffered heavy losses on his hands.
As soon as Yuan Taizuo finished speaking, a series of thunderous explosions suddenly sounded from the left half of the valley entrance. There were countless explosives buried in the ground, and the sound lasted for more than ten breaths, giving people a faint feeling of heaven and earth.
It felt like a change. Even though the horses on both sides were hundreds of feet apart and both had something plugged in their ears, they still caused quite a commotion, but they were quickly calmed down by the cavalry.
After the explosion, half of the one-hundred-foot valley mouth turned into a ravine one foot deep and two or three feet wide, leaving only the other half, about fifty feet wide, for the cavalry to pass.
The expressions of Yuan Taizuo and all the generals suddenly changed.
"Hmph, so what if the valley mouth becomes narrower? I don't believe that our more than 40,000 people can't defeat their 10,000 people." A general gritted his teeth and said,
However, at this moment, another spy came to report that two more cavalry groups were found in the distance, each numbering 30,000.
Yuan Taizuo and all the generals' expressions suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Damn it, they are Silla people and Baekje people." Yuan Taizu understood everything in an instant, and they fell into Wang Junlin's trick again.
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Taizuo turned his head and ordered loudly: "Inform the whole army that the Sui army that attacked our capital has been overtaken by us. For the sake of honor and military merit, we will kill all the enemies and they will steal a piece of Pyongyang."
Thousands of cars of wealth, the truth is my decision, half of it will be distributed to the entire army, and I will never break my promise."
…………
…………
The Goguryeo army covered the mountains and fields in darkness in the valley.
The three coalition forces of Sui, Silla and Baekje, totaling about 70,000 people, were lined up in a line. The Sui Dynasty had 10,000 cavalry in the middle, and Silla and Baekje each had 30,000 cavalry on both sides.
The 70,000-strong army silently looked at the dark cloud-like cavalry of Goguryeo two or three miles away. Everyone stood at their posts in high spirits, and their morale was as high as a rainbow.
On the slopes on both sides of the valley entrance, two trebuchet positions have been built at some time. Behind each position is a tunnel fortification, which contains 300 powder bags of various types.
Wang Junlin stood on horseback in front of the army, and quietly looked at the dark Goguryeo cavalry on the opposite side. Although there were 20,000 more people on their side than the other side, the cavalry strength of Silla and Baekje was probably greater than that of Goguryeo.
The cavalry is even worse.
However, Wang Junlin was still full of confidence in this battle, because he knew that the physical strength, energy and spirit of the Goguryeo army at this time were far different from those in its heyday, and the corresponding combat power would definitely be weakened.
