The wind whistled in the ears, the blood condensed into ice, the Sui army rushed into the shell water, upstream, followed by a bloody massacre, the Turkic slaves advanced along the two banks, pulled out dozens of Goguryeo villages, when the Sui army was far away, presented in the fire was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, mourning all over the field.

At this time, a pier in Beishui was on fire.

Dozens of big men wreaked havoc on a wharf, and the last crew member was stabbed to death on the ground, and then waved his hand, "Load all the goods onto the cargo ship!" The rest burned out. ”

An old Goguryeo man knelt in front of him and begged, "Let my dock go!" ”

"It's too late!"

The big man scolded angrily and slashed him to the ground with a knife, "Hurry up, move the goods ashore!" ”

"General, it's all oil, hundreds of stones." A Turkic slave said in stiff Chinese.

"Throw all the grain into the river and replace it with oil"

As soon as the big man shouted, more than 100 people worked together, poured bags of grain into the icy river water, and then carried barrels of oil onto the cargo ship.

Before leaving, the fire engulfed the dock

Such a tragic scene is staged on both sides of the entire shellfish.

A large number of Goguryeo's fishing boats and civilian boats were burned on the docks by the Sui army, and the Sui army's intention was very obvious, which was to completely destroy Goguryeo's water power and delay the process of Goguryeo's reinforcements.

At the same time, a fleet was in full swing in Sashui to the west, and everywhere it went, a raging fire was ablaze. However, compared with the Beishui fleet, the Sui army that committed murder on the Sashui was even more fierce, and everywhere it went, all the villages on both sides of the river ten miles from the river were burned down, and men, women, and children were all executed.

It's not that the Sui army is ruthless, it's the Goguryeo people who angered everyone.

In the past, when the Sui army could not capture Liaodong, Yang Guangling Yuwenshu led Yu Zhongwen, Jing Yuanheng, Xue Shixiong, Xin Shixiong, Zhang Jin, Zhao Cai, Cui Hongsheng, and Wei Xuan's army, totaling 300,000 people, crossing the Liaoshui River and crossing the Goguryeo Zhucheng, concentrating on the west of Yalushui, and attacking Pyongyang with the 100,000 naval troops commanded by Lai Huer and Zhou Fashang.

The army led by Yuwenshu arrived in the west of Yalushui, and Goguryeo sent Eokji Wende to surrender by fraud. He saw that the Sui army was hungry, so he was tired and left every battle. Yu Wenshu and others won seven battles in one day. The Sui army from afar was very tired, and the city of Pyongyang was tall and strong, and it was difficult for the Sui army without siege equipment to conquer. The Sui army had no choice but to retreat, and the Goguryeo army was copied in all directions, and the general Xin Shixiong of the palace fought in the city of Dead Water, so all the armies were defeated.

When the Sui army arrived in Sashui, they did not know that Ezhi Wende had already ordered people to build a dam upstream to store water, and when they reached the middle of the river, Ezhi Wende ordered the sluice gate to be opened and released water, and a large number of Sui troops were drowned in the water. Subsequently, Eulji Wende led the ambushed Goguryeo army to launch a fierce attack on the Sui army and won a great victory. The victory in the Battle of Sasu played a decisive role in the Second War between the Great Sui and Goguryeo.

After the war, Goguryeo piled up the corpses of hundreds of thousands of Sui soldiers who died in battle, and built Jingguan to show off its strength, and Jingguan ambushed the Sui soldiers one by one.

Looking at the magnificent and tall Jingguan, the anger of the Sui army can be imagined, they first escorted more than 10,000 Goguryeo people from the surrounding villages to the Jingguan to pay tribute to the heroic souls, and then demolished the Jingguan one by one, carefully cremated the remains of the martyrs one by one, and collected the ashes into their own 'Jingzhong bag', but there were too many martyrs' remains, and in the end they could only find a large number of clothes, tear off the sleeves and wrap them to take away. The 5,000 Great Sui soldiers were busy for five days before they were busy. After that, he launched a bloody revenge against the Goguryeo people.

When the Sui army left, a new Beijing Temple stood on both sides of the Sashui River, and a village was a blood-drenched Beijing Temple.

……

"Soldiers, keep these eight five-tooth boats in the depths of your heart, because these eight ships are full of the ashes of my Great Sui martyrs and my Great Sui heroes! One day, if we fail, Kyokan is our destination...... Therefore, as soldiers, we have only one way to win! ”

At the edge of the water, Yang Tong said loudly, his voice was not loud, but it was very deep and far away. The soldiers who heard these words did not make a noise, and their faces showed a firm belief in victory.

Yang Tong knew that Yang Guang was to eliminate the 700,000 forbidden soldiers controlled by the Guanlong magnates, so he launched the battle of Goguryeo again and again, and every time the dawn of victory came, he promised Goguryeo's surrender again and again, and Goguryeo used the limited time limit to prepare for another battle. In the past, Yang Tong only had one number in his mind, and he had an understanding attitude towards Yang Guang. But now, when he saw the eight five-tooth boats filled with the ashes of the martyrs, he felt very uncomfortable, and he had an urge to twist Yang Guang out and beat him violently.

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Tong smiled bitterly in his heart: Yang Guang can be regarded as self-inflicted, he was retributed for killing too much, and the soldiers who were deliberately sacrificed by him still have a bag of ashes, and he, Yang Guang, doesn't even have a handful of ashes left, isn't this retribution?

What's right and what's wrong? Such a in history? Who can tell?

Whether it is a king or an ordinary soldier, it represents a bygone era.

After going back, it is most appropriate for the ashes of these unknown martyrs to be buried next to Yang Guang's 'finger tomb'.

Yang Tong took a deep breath, turned over and jumped onto the tall divine horse's off-string arrow, his eyes were sharp and sharp, and he patrolled the Great Sui soldiers who had traveled a long distance under the escort of dozens of Xuanjia troops.

The Great Sui soldiers had bright armor and bright spears, and they were murderous, they had already finished lining up, just waiting for Yang Dong's order, Yang Dong's eyes turned to the north, and what appeared in front of him was a huge city!

This is the capital of Goguryeo, Pyongyang City.

At this time, it was the tenth day of arriving in Goguryeo, and the Goguryeo troops scattered everywhere must have known that the Sui army was coming, and the city must have been prepared for a long time. The treasury of Pyongyang City had a large number of weapons, and Goguryeo folk weapons were prevalent. It is entirely possible to mobilize more than 100,000 young and strong people to go into battle. However, after ten days and nights, it is estimated that the Goguryeo army will not be comfortable.

Yang Tong drew out the Zhanlu sword and galloped in front of the army, his voice echoing: "This is the revenge battle of my Great Sui, there are more than 400,000 martyrs watching us on the ship, and more than 400,000 heroic souls bless us." In this battle, the Great Sui will win! ”

"We will win, Da Sui will win!"

The morale of more than 30,000 Sui soldiers was high and the crowd was excited. They raised their arms and shouted: "Victory!" The Great Sui will win! ”

The 30,000 Turkic slaves also screamed with excitement, because the King of the Great Sui Qin had already told them to promise that as long as Pyongyang was taken, then the 4,000 bravest warriors would be given the status of the Great Sui! These people are all old slaves who have been squeezed for two years, the oppression day and night makes them worse than death, everyone's hearts are full of anger, Yang Tong's indulgence of them in the past few days has made them feel that they have lived a fairy-like life from hell, this huge contrast makes these Turkic slaves who are fierce themselves would rather die than live a life that is not as good as that pig and dog.

Yang Tong reined in his war horse, glanced at the middle-aged man who was looking at the tower from afar, and thought about the strategy of attacking the city.

The structure of Pyongyang Castle is the same as that of Chang'an, with an inner city and an outer city, and the inner city is a city within a city with a circumference of 20 li. Goguryeo's palaces, government offices, official warehouses, and military camps were all located in the inner city, and the mansions of officials and the wealthy people of Gaomen also lived in the inner city. In the space between the inner and outer cities, a large number of civilians were concentrated.

In the eighth year of the Great Cause, that is, during the First Goguryeo War, Yang Guang appointed Laihu'er as the head of the Pyongyang Provincial March, and concurrently inspected the school of Dongnae-gun.

Laihu'er led an army of 100,000 sailors from Hunshui into Goguryeo, and met the Goguryeo king Gowon sixty miles away from Pyongyang. At that time, the Goguryeo army was arrayed for dozens of miles, and Gao Jian, the younger brother of Gao Yuan, led hundreds of death squads to attack. Lai Hu'er ordered his son to come to rectify, and the general Fei Qingnu beheaded Gao Jian, and then defeated the Goguryeo army.

Lai Hu'er, who returned from the 'great victory', was full of ambition, and completely ignored the hard persuasion of Zhou Fashang, the deputy commander of the navy, and recklessly selected 40,000 elite soldiers to go straight to the city of Pyongyang. The Goguryeo army led the army out of the city to fight, and then returned in defeat, Laihu'er rashly attacked Pyongyang City, and plundered people's houses on a large scale, and the whole army of the Great Sui was suddenly in chaos. The Goguryeo army ambushed in the inner city took the opportunity to kill and defeated the Sui army, and Laihu'er only led more than 1,000 remnants of the army to escape outside the city. The Goguryeo army pursued to the mooring place of the Sui army's warships, and saw that Zhou Fashang was waiting for him, so he returned triumphantly.

In fact, the main task assigned by Yang Guang to Laihu'er was not to capture Pyongyang City, but to provide logistical supplies for the 300,000 troops led by Yu Wenshu, Yu Zhongwen, Jing Yuanheng, Xue Shixiong, Xin Shixiong, Zhang Jin, Zhao Cai, Cui Hongsheng, and Wei Xuan; However, the 'big victory' became self-righteous and arrogant.

Under the temptation of the great heavenly achievement of conquering the capital of Goguryeo, Laihu'er completely ignored the dissuasion of the deputy governor Zhou Fasang, and the first infantry was defeated and evacuated from Pyongyang, so that after the 300,000 army arrived in Pyongyang, they fell into the desperate predicament of cutting off food and grass, and Yu Wenshu and other generals had no choice but to withdraw their troops, which eventually led to the defeat of Sasu! It can be said that Sashui has failed in this fiasco, and Laihu'er should be fully responsible.

Therefore, for Yang Tong, the attack on the outer city of Pyongyang is only the first step, and only by breaking the inner city can it be regarded as taking Pyongyang.

After more than 100 years of expansion and repair, the walls of Pyongyang City are four zhang high and three zhang wide, and the whole city is very strong. The moat of the first line of defense was two zhang wide and one zhang deep, and a horse city with a protruding wall was built every twenty zhang.

Now the city gate is strong, and the drawbridge is high against the wall, Yi Ning is difficult to attack, and the battering ram is not effective at all, the only way is to fill the moat, and then use the ladder to storm the city.

Although the Turkic slaves were used for sacrifice, if the brain-dead attacked, not to mention 30,000, even 400,000 would not be enough.

Fortunately, Yang Tong didn't think about using human life to fill in, and was prepared.

……

(Note: In the second and third battles of Goguryeo, Laihu'er showed a very obvious stubbornness.) This is not an unjust attempt to protect the child, interested friends can search - "Tempting the relationship between the defeat of the army in Pyongyang and the battle of Sasu").
