Chapter 135 Water Army
"The Supreme wants to divide his troops to attack Pyongyang City, and we have come under the jurisdiction of the Right Yiwei Mansion, march east with the army, and cheer up, this time it is not child's play."
"Huh?" When Li Po heard this, he immediately overlooked the dark clouds, and his head was full of black lines, Pyongyang, go to Pyongyang from Liaodong City? By plane?
Frightened, he blurted out: "I said Jun Cao, who have you offended?" ”
The muscles on Li Bi's face twitched, but he didn't get angry, but explained very patiently, "Most of the cavalry troops are under the command of Youyiwei Mansion, not only those from our Mayi. ”
Well, after the shock, Li Po had no intention of getting to the bottom of it, inexplicable orders, he had listened too much these days, and he was a little numb.
Moreover, this is very different from when I was in Zhuojun, at that time, I was far away from Ba, and there was a way to think about it.
Now, looking at this, in addition to being a deserter, there is only one way left, and that is to go with the army.
Deserters don't have to think about it, surrounded by a large army, unfamiliar with life, so far, Li Po has not heard of a deserter appearing, this is definitely not everyone loyal and willing to accompany the hellish emperor here.
It's about going back all the way...... Who the fuck can go back?
Li Po didn't talk nonsense anymore and left with a sullen head.
While asking his subordinates to wait and prepare things, he meditated and pondered.
But the brain that thought about it hurt and didn't find out from my mind, the historical knowledge of the Sui army's division of troops, but the ominous premonition, became clearer and clearer.
Since he didn't know how Yu Wenshu and Yu Zhongwen were going, the journey of the two 300,000 armies was.
Then, he will not know what the Sui army missed because the division of troops was too late.
In fact, at the moment when the Sui army was dividing its troops to the east, the general Lai Hu'er, the head of the Pyongyang Provincial March, had already led the soldiers and horses by water into the territory of Goguryeo by sea into the Taedong River.
Most of the sailors on this road are Huaiyang's strong soldiers, and the two people in charge of the army, Lai Hu'er, the head of the Pyongyang Provincial March, and Zhou Fashang, the deputy head of the navy, are both people of Emperor Yang Guangxin of Sui, and they are also famous generals of the Great Sui.
The two of them immediately chose a shoal to land in the hinterland of Goguryeo and drove directly to Pyongyang.
The cooperation of these two burst out with amazing energy at the beginning.
About twenty or thirty miles from Pyongyang City, they met the army led by the Goguryeo king Gao Yuanqin.
At this time, the Goguryeo side can be said to be heavily armed, and the Mabu army is lined up for dozens of miles, almost more than 200,000 people, and it is ready for battle.
The Great Sui Marine Corps led by Hu'er only has tens of thousands of horses, and there is a huge difference in numbers, and there are very few cavalry in the naval army that comes to Hu'er.
Needless to say, the details of this battle are not too much.
The general comes to protect the child as the protagonist, and the others are all small partners.
First of all, he came to Hu'er to send his son to rectify, and the general Fei Qingnu, the Goguryeo king brother Gao Jian, who led the heavy cavalry to charge the battle, hung his head to boost the army's heart.
Immediately, in a one-day fierce battle, the Goguryeo army was defeated, and the corpses of the Goguryeo people killed were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river.
The king of Goguryeo, embarrassed, fled back to Pyongyang.
In terms of time, according to the plan of Duan Wenzhen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, as soon as he entered Goguryeo and besieged Liaodong City, he immediately divided his troops, and the Sui army could meet under the city of Pyongyang at this time, and the city of Pyongyang at this time was within reach.
However, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui and King Gao Yuan of Goguryeo, this pair of unlucky eggs, can be said to be disgraced in the first Liaodong War, and one made mistakes one by one.
After the victory, the morale of the Sui army was high.
Lai Hu'er did not listen to Zhou Fashang's advice, so Zhou Fashang led his troops to guard the warship, and he picked 40,000 elites, chased the defeated army of Goguryeo, and drove directly to Pyongyang.
At this time, later people used the results to deduce the process, and some said that after the great victory of Hu'er, they became proud of the enemy, which led to the later defeat, which completely changed the appearance of the battle of Liaodong.
It is also said that the Goguryeo people used a trick to lure Raego-'er into the city of Pyongyang, and defeated Rae-go'er in one fell swoop.
However, they all unanimously admired Zhou Fashang's performance in this battle.
In fact, every decision made by a commander in command of an army like Lai Hu'er is made in accordance with the course of the war, and it is nonsense to sit in the room and comment on such a lieutenant general.
And after the defeat of the Goguryeo people, it is even more impossible to have the leisure to introduce the enemy into the royal city, and then collapse it in one fell swoop, you do not close the city and defend it, but to hand over the royal city to others, how big a heart does it have, or what kind of power does it have? Can you do this?
In fact, Laihu'er was completely right.
He led his army into the outer city of Pyongyang in one fell swoop.
With the victory in hand, Laihu'er did underestimate the Goguryeo people's resilience and determination to resist at this time, and he also overestimated his prestige.
After entering the city, the soldiers of the Sui army went crazy all of a sudden.
It is not surprising that they endured a boring life in the barracks for more than a year, and drifted at sea for several months, and it is needless to say what would happen once they entered such a prosperous enemy city.
Almost suddenly, Laihu'er lost control of the army.
This was the most direct consequence of his hasty entry into the city, the generals of the Sui army, and plundered the troops.
If it were an army of more than 100,000 or 200,000, it would be enough, and it would be able to turn Pyongyang City into a ghost in the white land, but at this time, the Sui army, only 40,000 people, scattered into the city, although it caused very serious damage to Pyongyang City, the population of Pyongyang City also decreased a lot in this battle.
But when faced with the decisive counterattack of the Goguryeo people, the Sui army was not surprised that it soon fell into the ocean of the people's war and was completely defeated.
Only a few thousand people were able to escape back to the banks of the Taedong River, and most of the rest were trapped in the city of Pyongyang.
Zhou Fashang was not an unpredictable prophet, and the role of the scout made him quickly know the news of the defeat of Laihu'er, and set up a formation on the riverside to wait for it.
After Laihu'er and Zhou Fashang converged, the Goguryeo people saw that the Sui army was prepared, and they no longer dared to come up.
Under the new defeat, the naval army was obviously insufficient, so Laihu'er discussed with Zhou Fashang, got on the boat, and floated on the Datong River, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the army.
The end of the First World War can be described as a defeat for both sides.
However, since Hu'er went all the way to the division, he defeated the 200,000 Goguryeo army, and even invaded the city of Pyongyang.
Moreover, this battle can be said to have dealt a heavy blow to Goguryeo's national strength, and at this time, if the Sui army can make up its mind to withdraw its troops and wait for the next year to re-enter Goguryeo, it is really difficult to say how much Goguryeo has to fight back.
