The Korean city is on the east bank of the river, the same as the city of the belt, four gates, of which the west gate is connected with a bridge, connecting the west bank, and the four cities such as Suicheng and Zhan Cicada rely on each other, attacking and defending as one.

Goguryeo, on the other hand, came from the northeast such as Siwang and Kafang.

Therefore, it is still the east line of Lieshui, which belongs to the east bank of the same period as Joseon City.

In this way, they attacked Joseonjo, and the cities to the west could support Joseon through the bridge.

The 200,000 troops of Goguryeo wanted to take Lelang County as quickly as possible, so the 80,000 troops went to fight the city of Daifang, and if it came along the west bank of the river, then the four cities of Suicheng and Zhan Chan would not be able to support Joseon City.

It's just that Tingyou, the commander of Goguryeo at that time, didn't use this plan.

Since the Yuan family has an inner should be in the Korean City and the Belt City, why not go down to these two cities directly and slowly eat the other cities.

Otherwise, if this method of internal assistance is used too much, it will always make the Han people alert, and in the end, it will be ineffective when they hit the big city.

Therefore, Ting You commanded 200,000 troops to kill from the east, so that the two armies, no matter who broke through Korea and the belt first, were given to support the other way.

The abacus is also crackling, a thief.

It is said that Tingyou is also the younger brother of the contemporary Goguryeo king Yiyimo.

Since Iyimu had no son, the future throne would inevitably pass to his younger brother.

In addition, Tingyou is the third son of the previous king, and Tingyou has a second brother above.

The order of brother and brother was not yet his turn, so in order to increase his prestige, the contemporary Goguryeo king Yiyimo asked him to command 200,000 troops to attack Lelang, so as to obtain credit and clear the way for the future succession to the throne.

In a saying of the Han people, Ting You can be regarded as the prince's younger brother.

This is the situation that the contemporary Goguryeo king Yiyimo personally commanded 200,000 troops to attack Huanghae County, and his younger brother Tingyou commanded 200,000 troops to attack Lelang County.

Without further ado, at this time, Tingyou led 120,000 troops to surround the Korean city.

The attack on Joseon City did not start as smoothly as it did with Fang Cheng.

There were more Han officers and soldiers guarding the Korean city, and Yuan Yin's men went in and tried to open the city gate on the first day of siege, but they were besieged and killed by the expected guards.

Without internal response, it was impossible for Tingyou to succeed in the first battle, so he fought for two consecutive days, with one or two thousand casualties, and the Korean city was still in the hands of the Han army.

"The marshal can't fight like this, the will of the Han army to defend the city is too strong, and it is difficult for our army to attack it." In the past two days, it was not without gains, and the Goguryeo soldiers killed the city several times, but they were all retreated, which was regarded as a consolation for Goguryeo.

Ting Yi nodded and said: "That's right, you can't storm it, wait for the news of Fang City, that side should be captured soon." ”

Obifang City is a little worse than Joseon City, and the Yuan family should have more inside.

Midnight!

Tingyou was still dreaming, he dreamed that the Korean city was captured by them, but he was awakened by the noise outside the camp, and shouted very unpleasantly:

"In the middle of the night, who is making noise outside the tent!"

There were bursts of painful cries outside, and Ting Wei frowned more and more annoyed when he heard it.

A relative outside the tent ran in and said, "Dashuai, the soldiers who led Fangcheng have fled back, they said...... They said that the Han army had cavalry to kill them and defeated them all, and they were basically wiped out, everyone didn't believe it, and they were still strictly investigated! ”

This pro-general said very worriedly.

Seriously, he also thinks this news is fake.

How could 80,000 Goguryeo warriors be slaughtered by the Han army, even if they lost the battle, they would not be wiped out.

"What?"

Tingyou jumped directly from the couch with a shocked face.

"The army of 80,000 was defeated by the Han cavalry, where did the cavalry come from with Fangcheng? Where did the cavalry come from? ”

Eighty thousand troops!

That's it!

That's impossible!

Ting You took a deep breath, swallowed all his dissatisfaction for the time being, put on his coat and lifted his sword out of the tent.

I saw that in the camp outside the account, countless embarrassed Goguryeo soldiers were crying on the ground.

These are all escapes from Obifang City.

They ran as fast as they could.

Ting You asked one by one, and the result was the same.

There were reinforcements in Daifang City, and there were no less than five or six thousand Han cavalry, and these Han cavalry galloped from the south bank of Daishui.

They were about to fight Fangcheng, but the accident came suddenly, they were not a little prepared, and they were killed by the Han cavalry, and the 80,000 army was basically wiped out.

Returning to the tent of the meeting, the Goguryeo followed in silence.

The generals whose morale was not high in the year, Ting You asked, "What should I do next?" The Han army has cavalry support, don't think about it with Fangcheng, I'm afraid that the Korean city will not be able to be defeated. ”

"Marshal, immediately retreat back to the domestic city, we will be targeted by the Han cavalry in the evening, I'm afraid it's not easy to retreat!"

As soon as the general spoke, a radical general immediately said: "The marshal must not retreat, we have only captured the four cities of the Han people, and the looted materials and population are not much, besides, as soon as we retreat, what will the king do?" ”

"For the marshal, you can't retreat, you should notify the king first, and then we will compete with the Han cavalry, in the city of Daifang, it is their attack and control, our army is defenseless, and the 80,000 army will be defeated, once we have defense, the Han cavalry may not break our army."

"For the marshal, kill the Han cavalry, if we can get their horses, we can also form cavalry, which will be a great help to attack Liaodong in the future, and even enter Liaoxi is convenient."

Yes, some Goguryeo people didn't even take the peninsula, so they were worried about Liaoxi and Liaodong.

Tingyou is in power.

The loss of 80,000 in this battle, if he was scared away by the Han cavalry, this attack not only did not gain political prestige, but also damaged, how to take over the throne in the future.

In particular, Yi Yimo's 200,000 army is still on the peninsula, still in Huanghe County, and if he runs away, the Han army will cut off the king's retreat.

If Iyimu were to die or be defeated in battle, he would have no bearing on the throne at all.

After all, no one would support a man who killed his predecessor as the new king.

"Everyone is right, we can't retreat, they may be in danger once we retreat from the king, and as soon as we retreat, the army will be unstable, and the soldiers will be scattered, just let the Han cavalry impact, and let the Han people stage a massacre like a square city, so we are waiting for the cavalry of the Han army to come, and I want to fight with them in a dignified manner!" Ting You stood up and said impassionedly.

"Handsome and wise, worthy of being our first heir to the throne of Goguryeo!"

A valiant man, a man who is willing to give, such a person is worthy of being their future king of Goguryeo.

Tingyou's words captured the hearts of all the soldiers at once.

Dawn!

Unconsciously!

Tingyou asked people to repair and strengthen the camp overnight, and since he wanted to stay, the safety of the camp still had to be guaranteed.

The first rays of sunlight rose from the east, and the Han cavalry did not appear from the south, but from the east where the sun rose.

With the morning sun behind them, Xu Ding and the others urged the war horses and moved forward slowly.
