Chapter 363: Fierce Battle of Liaodong City
Li Jing, the general of the Sui army, led the siege army, took out the sword at his waist and ordered: "The three armies listen to the order and attack the city immediately!" ”
The military order was like a mountain, and suddenly the horns sounded in unison, the thunder and drums shook the sky, the sound of killing was everywhere, and the arrows and feathers in the sky were like locusts, shooting at each other. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The tide-like Sui soldiers set up ladders, set up hook cars, and pedaled on the road, swarming up, and under the attack of rolling wood, stones, boiling water, etc., one group fell one after another, and an ancient siege battle unfolded fiercely.
There is a cloud in the book of war: 'Ten will surround it, five will attack it, and the multiple will divide it'. The strength of the Sui army, 200,000 troops were invested in the siege today, and there were hundreds of thousands of troops in the rear to watch the battle, so it can be said that the source of troops was huge, enough to besiege Liaodong City and attack it in an all-round way.
There were about 50,000 troops defending the city, but they were brave and good at fighting, and the generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty defected to Liaodong and became commanders, and they were also proficient in the way of defending the city and the method of using troops.
The Sui army surged up like a tide, and was immediately killed by the defenders and went down to the city, and the two armies clashed with countless casualties, and the sorrow shook the sky.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The Sui army was constantly attacking the city, but the ancient city of Liaoda was majestic, and it had already been thickened and heightened, and the stone bullets were smashed up, although it was slightly damaged, but it could not be smashed out of the hole.
The defenders of the city are even more fearless to the death, and the fierceness of the nomads in the northeast is displayed.
They are tall, powerful, more than the height of the Sui army, plus perennial in the cold land, the physique is outstanding, and the Sui army has been peaceful for 30 years, except for the army of the frontier town and still fighting with the Turks and Tuyuhun, the rest of the government soldiers in the interior of the Central Plains have not fought for many years, many soldiers are hard labor peasants, unwilling to be captured to work to build the canal, the Great Wall, etc., have joined the Yingyang Mansion as soldiers, can escape taxes and labor, these people's combat effectiveness, obviously low, will is not firm.
Compared with the soldiers of the southern and northern wars in the founding period of the country, the millions of heroes in the peaceful and prosperous era have greatly reduced their combat power, and they lack a ruthless, murderous intent, and brave spirit of not fearing death.
The city is like an isolated island, the battle array is like a cloud, the Sui army has already crossed the moat under the cover of the arrows and feathers in the sky, hit the city gate, climb the ladder, climb the building car, and attack the city wall.
However, Liaodong City still stood still in the fierce battle, and it was not taken by the Sui army in the morning.
This war was fought from morning to night, in full swing, although the Sui army had many generals, but under the disadvantage of geographical advantages, the dead and wounded were pillowed, and looking at the confrontation from a distance, it was as if ripe grapes fell down from the city wall, and the brains were cracked and became a puddle of bruises.
I saw that the corpses of the Sui soldiers were gradually piled up under the city, but the army behind them was like a raging wave, without the slightest mercy, trampling on the corpses to attack the city, and under the darkness of the night, thousands of torches were lit inside and outside the city, just like day.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty saw that Liaodong City could not be captured, his face was pale, and he ordered the troops to be collected, and the army retreated like a tide, leaving corpses everywhere.
Once the success will be achieved, this is war.
On the city of Liaodong, the Goguryeo army was cheering, and the general Eulzhi Wende, dressed in golden chain mail, stood on the city tower and looked, and the whole person was cold and majestic.
This is the first commander of Goguryeo, and he is also a victorious general, in his early thirties, in the past few years, he has swallowed the Khitan, fought the Jin, occupied Liaodong, and suppressed Baekje and Silla.
The chain mail on his body is the golden armor given by the king, which represents a kind of honor, and at the same time, he is also a concubine.
"The army has finally retreated." Yizhi Wende's face was solemn, his spirit was extraordinary, he had just attacked the city from 200,000 Sui troops, he did not change color at all, he always sat on the second floor of the city tower and gave orders, in front of him there were two rows of barbed wire, which were arrows that shot through the outer windows of the pavilion and pierced on them.
A man in a green robe and Hanfu breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "This is only the first day, the Great Sui is prepared, and it is difficult to repel it head-on, relying on our two or three hundred thousand troops." ”
"The Art of War in the Central Plains, isn't there a saying called 'lure and annihilate'? They came from afar, drove straight in, Liaoshui, Yalu River, Sashui, Hunshui, and the four-way river beach, which could make the Sui army tired of attacking and fighting, and their vitality was greatly damaged, once they entered the hinterland and hit the city of Pyongyang, more than half of the casualties would be killed, and when the time came, the supply would be cut off, and when winter came, even if the million army was coming, they would have to freeze to death and starve to death in Goguryeo. ”
"General Yizhi is really clever, I'm afraid Da Sui is going to collapse this time."
Yizhi Wende smiled happily: "Haha, thanks to some of your descendants of Northern Qi, who have provided a lot of fine information for our dynasty, and the descendants of Gao Changgong, the god of war of Northern Qi, are responsible for the formulation of this strategic plan!" ”
The middle-aged man in the green robe smiled faintly and said: "Our goal is the same, the Great Sui seems to be peaceful, the world is unified, but the gate valve is stiff, it is difficult to change, although it is temporarily impossible to shake the Great Sui Dynasty by relying on the inside, but once Yang Guang mobilizes troops year after year, depleting national strength, and making the domestic people miserable, it will naturally be a rebel army and fall apart, moreover, the ancient sect of the Central Plains, Tianji Sect, has Yin and Yang Kanyu Master has revealed the heavenly machine, the Great Sui will be destroyed in a few years because of the war against Liaodong for many years, and now some domestic forces are secretly preparing for themselves. ”
"Oh, those words?" There was a sneer at the corner of Ezhi Wende's mouth.
The blue-robed man said with a bit of respect: "The ancient prediction technique of the Central Plains can spy on the heavens, and it should not be underestimated, which is also the reason why my old nobles of the Northern Qi Dynasty spare no effort to help Goguryeo, as long as you can hold on and drag down the regular army of the Great Sui, the domestic contradictions will intensify and the world will be turned upside down."
