Chapter 663: The Horse Returns
In particular, the people of the Xiao Cavalry Guard are all elite soldiers and fierce generals, and they have decided to fight to the death with the enemy.
With this determination, the people of the cavalry guard were not on the defensive, but directly opened the gate of the walled city and took the initiative to attack.
The clever general did not continue the pursuit, he had already suffered this loss, but this time he was very cautious.
Su Gavin's plan was to wait for these people to pursue and use their familiarity with the terrain to attack, but in the end they did not achieve their goal.
If he didn't succeed in one move, Su Gavin didn't pay attention to it, but his lack of doctrine does not mean that the generals of the Xiao Cavalry Guard have no way, and none of the generals who can become the royal soldiers are simple.
They knew that although Yuwen Chengdu and the Li family's soldiers and horses had left, they had not actually lost their combat effectiveness, on the contrary, what they could use now in a battle against the odds was courage.
The generals who stayed behind directly gave the order to take the initiative to attack, and the effect was obvious, and their combat effectiveness was undeniable after removing the objective material factors.
Su Gavin knew very well that although they had many people, they really couldn't do it in terms of combat effectiveness, and in order to avoid losses, he decisively gave the order to retreat.
One decides to attack, and the other doesn't want to fight you, which makes the main attacker feel like he's hitting the cotton hard.
"Damn, let them run." The general of the cavalry guard shouted unwillingly.
"Don't worry that their intention is to let me continue to pursue, as long as you understand that their intention is to make us suffer, this kind of thing will not happen, go back and prepare the next plan."
The generals who led the troops discussed things together.
How could the soldiers and horses brought out by Yuwen Chengdu fall into such a trap.
The cavalry guards are strong and strong, and the food reserves are enough for them to support for a long time, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses on both sides, even if they divide the troops, it doesn't matter.
It is with this confidence that the cavalry guards in the next period of time do not seem to have the intention of holding on, and in turn attack the city again.
The method of fighting to feed the war is maintaining attrition.
Su Gavin was so confused by the cavalry guards that he didn't even think of their purpose, and was about to go to the aid of the attacked city, and they tried twice and finally retreated.
suffered a great loss in the battle against the cavalry guards, and in turn launched another attack on the walled city on the shore, and the battle was very miserable and finally failed.
Just when Su Gaiwen led people to attack the walled city on the shore, the Xiao cavalry guards actually launched an attack on the capital city of Goguryeo, and only after Su Gaiwen brought people back to help did he know that it was a feint.
Even so, they had to take the same form of dividing their troops, so that both sides did divide their forces.
Su Gavin was very helpless at this time, he thought that the other party would be able to provide him with a great opportunity after dividing his troops, but it turned out to be otherwise.
Thinking that the combat effectiveness of the Xiao Cavalry Guards was too strong, even if they did not have so many horses, they always maintained the form of attacking everywhere, sending troops and horses to stop each time they retreated in defeat, but provided them with a lot of supplies.
As a result, Sugavin had to stop this tactic, and he now knew that the only way to do this was to delay until they ran out of supplies.
It's not that he's confident, but he knows that with his country's national strength, even if the other party goes around to attack the materials, it won't last long.
I have to say that this is the situation of the local people.
The soldiers in front were anxious, and Emperor Yang of Sui was also anxious, and he had already ordered him to let the Xiao cavalry guard return safely no matter what.
A large number of ships are already being dispatched at maximum speed.
Half a month later, a huge fleet appeared again, most of which were merchant ships, and the fishing boats combined amounted to more than several thousand.
There are a lot of them, and the formation is terrifying, and if people who know how to fight in water know at a glance that this kind of small boat fleet is really capsized when facing a large ship, and it cannot pose an actual threat to the big ship at all.
Even in bad weather, such as in the case of heavy rain and waves, it is easy to sink the ship.
However, this is not a matter for Emperor Yang of Sui to consider, anyway, they know very well that the other party has absolutely no ships that can contend with it, and the role of these ships is only to transport people, and there is no battle at all.
After the arrival of the mighty fleet, all the soldiers and horses of the Sui State boarded the ship, and when they did not stop for a moment, they also destroyed the walled city on the shore, and a lot of materials were directly burned.
Su Gavin also wanted to attack, but he didn't think that the fire ditch had been prepared before the soldiers and horses of the Sui State left, and the fire directly blocked the path of their attack, and there was no way to get close at all.
The fire burned for several days before it stopped, and not only did the shore harbor turn to ashes, but it was a mess that left behind.
Burnt smell with a real mess.
No matter how angry Su Gaiwen was in his heart, he couldn't stop the Sui State attack this time, and the matter was so anticlimactic, so he also killed King Rongliu.
What awaited him was to reorganize the Goguryeo government, and he didn't have time to think about more things.
The displaced people in various places, as long as the cavalry guards passed, there were basically no living people, and it can be said that this expedition plan of Emperor Yang of Sui was successful in a sense.
When the cavalry guards returned to Penglai, Emperor Yang of Sui immediately arranged for someone to take over Penglai, and directly led 200,000 soldiers and horses to return directly to Jiangling City.
Many soldiers and horses led by the general Wang Ye in Penglai City are ready to return, but most of them have no intention of leaving, which has made their position clear, and they all have plans to occupy Penglai City.
There was no opening on the surface, in fact, they found a lot of excuses to explain to Emperor Yang of Sui.
In the end, who sits in Penglai still needs to be recommended by the imperial court, and there is no doubt that whether these people are cronies of Emperor Yang of Sui or not, it is possible for the sake of practical benefits.
Because Emperor Yang of Sui needs to use this matter to show his attitude, it is beneficial for people who help the royal family, and this signal will be well analyzed by many aristocratic forces.
Yu Wenhua breathed a sigh of relief, don't look at him very arrogant, and he is also worried about Xiao Caiwei in his heart, these are all his subordinates who have been leading, and many generals have benefited from the Yuwen family.
If it is really damaged, it will not only be the loss of the royal family, but also the loss of Yuwen Chengdu.
When the cavalry returned, he had soldiers under him.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not forget that the matter of the Youzhou soldiers announced the rebellion in Youzhou, Taiyuan Mansion and other regions in a few days, which did not involve the Northwest soldiers.
Emperor Yang of Sui is not a fool, if he brings the Northwest soldiers with him, with the strength of the king of the backer, it is absolutely equivalent to directly distributing the country to others.
The king of the backers doesn't have so many ideas, and at his current age, the most he thinks about is to guard the border.
Just because he doesn't have an idea doesn't mean that others don't, just like Emperor Yang of Sui himself, no emperor likes that someone above his head can threaten him.
