Due to the failure of the siege on the first day, Yang Guang felt that he had lost his majesty in front of the envoys of the Western Regions and the grasslands, and that night, he summoned the generals of various armies to discuss the strategy of marching and breaking the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Jing, Yu Wenshu, Yu Zhongwen, Fan Zigai, Mai Tiezhu, Yu Juluo, Jing Yuanheng, Xin Shixiong, Shi Xiang, Zhang Jin, Xue Shixiong, Wei Xuan, Yang Yichen, Zhao Cai, Luo Yi and other generals have all arrived, almost including more than seventy percent of the fierce generals and generals of the Great Sui.

Yang Guang said with a serious expression: "How many casualties are there today?" ”

Li Jing replied: "Your Majesty, 46,000 people were killed, more than 30,000 were lightly injured, and 7,000 were seriously injured. ”

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty asked, "Can you estimate the casualties of Goguryeo?" ”

Li Jing replied: "It is estimated that there are 10,000 killed in the battle, and about 10,000 wounded. ”

Emperor Yang of Sui slapped the table case and scolded: "How can the gap be so big? ”

Fan Zigai diluted: "Back to Your Majesty, the other party has a geographical advantage, condescending, hiding behind the city wall, there has always been war, the siege and the defense of the city side of the fierce battle, if the combat effectiveness of the two armies is similar, then the casualties are this proportion." ”

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was a little indignant: "I am a dignified Sui soldier, won't my combat power be higher than that of Goguryeo, who are monstrosives outside the Guan?" ”

Everyone was speechless, and they didn't dare to say that the soldiers of Yingyang Mansion in various parts of the Great Sui had not fought for a long time, and their bloody nature had been worn out.

Of course, unless some of the soldiers in the Great Sui Army were transferred from some frontiers, their combat power and bravery were still very strong, and they had participated in the forbidden army against the Turks and Tuyuhun, and they were also very strong, but most of the soldiers in Yingyang Mansion were often poor people, and in order to avoid labor to join, the training was not strict in peacetime, and even after enlisting in the army for a short time, there were big flaws in the battle.

The soldiers of the prosperous era, there is no war training, most of them are fists and embroidered legs, and they will definitely suffer a big loss when they are in actual combat, and after the bloody training, the remaining soldiers are the elite divisions.

Yu Zhongwen stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister will think that it is not the best strategy to fight like this, and you should pay attention to strategy in order to defeat the enemy." ”

"What can you do?" Emperor Yang of Sui's face moved slightly, and he asked.

Yu Zhongwen said: "Send troops to attack the small cities around Liaodong, take them all, and then bypass Liaodong City, and approach the next fortress, so that Liaodong City becomes a rootless source, and he can be trapped to death, and our army will shoot out an elite force, and go straight to the fortresses and granaries around the country, and there is no need to carry out carpet advance with the Goguryeo army, so that other armies cannot be used, they are all consumed here, and there is a large amount of empty food and grass, if you conquer other small cities, you can use the manpower and materials of Goguryeo to support my Great Sui soldiers, It can also further weaken Goguryeo's national strength, and the odds of victory will be even higher! ”

Yu Zhongwen is always resourceful, and he said something that made many generals feel reasonable.

But this plan is very different from Emperor Yang of Sui, the gap is very large, Emperor Yang of Sui wants to be upright, step by step, like a bamboo, highlighting the prestige of the Great Sui, if he drives the expedition in person, and sends troops to be sneaky and cunning, how can it reflect the majesty of his holy khan and the benefit of the great Sui's heroism?

Therefore, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty directly denied this decision, saying: "To conquer Goguryeo, we must be upright and upright, and easily crush it with the capital of a great country, instead of a ghost trick, hang the people and conquer Goguryeo, not to completely destroy it, as long as the Goguryeo army surrenders, it must not be killed." ”

Many generals find it difficult to understand that the dispatch of millions of soldiers, such a huge number, and the use of the root of the country is not to destroy the state, but to conquer and convince the other party, isn't it too much to mobilize the people?

"Your Majesty, Liaodong clown, did not serve a severe punishment, Yi Di is deceitful, you must be on guard, our army's grain and grass are currently mainly gathered in Luhe, Huaiyuan two towns in western Liaoning, accompanied only 100 days of rations, if you can't fight quickly, drag into the winter, cut off grain and grass, then it will be quite dangerous."

"In the period of 100 days, can't I conquer a million male soldiers and destroy the little Goguryeo?" Emperor Yang of Sui's face was displeased, and he scolded: "Stand down, don't mention this matter." ”

Yu Zhongwen was helpless, his loyalty was contrary to his ears, the king did not listen to the advice, he felt pale and powerless in his heart, if he hadn't followed the king of Jin very early, he was deeply respected, and he didn't dare to put forward such a strategy if he was someone else, otherwise, he would have been degraded.

After Luo Zhaoyun listened, he felt that Yu Zhongwen was close to what he thought, and the hero saw the same thing, but unfortunately, Yang Guang seemed to be enchanted, he was willful and rash, and there was no one in his eyes, so he was too light on the enemy.

In the eyes of Emperor Yang of Sui at this time, face is the most important thing, and for the sake of false fame, you can ignore the number of deaths of soldiers.

"Continue to increase the siege tomorrow, and within ten days, it must be taken!"

"Yes!" All these soldiers stood up with their fists clenched and obeyed the king's command.

At night, the Goguryeo army sent two groups of light cavalry to attack the camp of the Sui army, and even, hundreds of people formed a death squad to enter the camp of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and carry out a beheading operation.

However, the Sui army was well defended, and the generals who led the troops in each army were all generals who were well versed in the way of unifying the army, so the brave light cavalry team composed of thousands of people was directly submerged in the camp and did not have an effect.

The death squad that entered the king's camp was also killed by layers of royal forest troops, and they did not rush to the innermost layer at all.

However, this move angered Emperor Yang of Sui, and the next day he invested more troops to attack, and the commander of Goguryeo, Eulji Wende, also felt that the Sui army's formation was solid, and did not dare to rashly go out of the city to meet the battle, so he could only hold on and be more cautious.
