Chapter 387: A Tired Enemy's Plan

Three days later, the Sui army left Liaodong City, continued to march eastward, the flag fluttered, the iron armor shined, 800,000 elite troops, mighty, marching towards the Yalu River, the defenders of the counties along the way fled, and soon, the entire Liaodong region of the city, basically the Sui army regained control.

Most of them did not have fierce battles, and Xiaochengyi was lost, mainly because the Sui army was too numerous, if you stood on a high mountain, you could see the Sui army's team, like a long dragon, endless, thousands of guards in each small city were wiped out, frightened, and fled in despair.

This time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered that people and horses should be given 100 days of rations, and also given platoon armor, guns and spears, clothing, military equipment, fire curtains and other war preparation materials, each person carrying more than three stones, because of entering the area controlled by the enemy, far away from the mainland, there are too many people, it is impossible for a large number of vehicles to transport materials at all times, and it is not realistic to follow the army.

Therefore, the easiest way is that each soldier carries his own food, armor and materials, so convenient is convenient, but the sergeant is physically overwhelmed, there are many soldiers, on the way secretly in the camp, bury some food, in order to reduce the burden of the march, so that the general's estimate of grain and grass, and the actual is not in line, from Liaodong City, to the Yalu River, originally thought that it can be weighed two months of grain and grass, in fact, it is less than a month.

This time, Emperor Yang of Sui in order to limit Luo Zhaoyun to make great contributions, robbed the momentum of the generals, and needed to be balanced, and every time it was Luo Zhaoyun's military department that took the lead in winning, Yang Guang felt that he had been hit a lot, and he also loved and hated Luo Cheng, and he loved Luo Cheng's constant victory, and gave Yang Guang a reassurance, hated him, and robbed the demeanor that should have belonged to the king, and he wanted to let the credit for conquering Goguryeo get it himself and go down in history.

I have to say that a king's heart is so small that his jealousy is so strong, it is rare.

If Yang Guangneng was broad-minded, didn't care about these vanities, and sent a few generals with hundreds of thousands of troops, he could solve Goguryeo, but he wanted to drive the expedition in person, mobilize the army, and the strategy was unclear, and he repeatedly delayed the fighters, and mobilized the people before the war, causing a lot of internal troubles.

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, Yang Guang's failure has a lot to do with his character, the price of making a mistake is the collapse of the country, the evil of heaven is still violated, and the evil of oneself cannot be lived.

The commander of the vanguard army sent this time was Yu Wenshu, followed by his son Yu Wenhua, the general Yu Zhongwen, the generals Xin Shixiong, Wei Xuan, Wang Rengong, etc., with the Fifth Route Army and 200,000 troops.

"There are many mountains and rivers on the other side of the Yalu River, and there is only one gentle river beach that can be captured!"

Yuwen recounted: "Prepare immediately, you can attack, and before the arrival of the army, take the river beach and castle on the other side of the Yalu River." ”

Yu Zhongwen interrupted: "General Yuwen, this is too risky. ”

"Do you know why Your Majesty asked me to wait first, just to let us take the lead, and we can't rely on Luo Cheng to make a move in everything, so that we can quickly succeed, so where do we put the face of these old generals?"

Wang Rengong knew that Yuwenshu's status was extremely favored in front of His Majesty, so he didn't dare to offend, and nodded and said, "What General Yuwen said is very reasonable. ”

The rest of the generals, naturally, also wanted to make meritorious contributions, and they asked for their lives one after another to attack the Yalu River.

Yu Zhongwen knew some methods of using soldiers, and wanted to use tricks to break it, and said: "In this way, after a long journey, people are sleepy and horses are lacking, it is better to let the army practice first, and early tomorrow morning, before dawn, send an elite army to cross the river, sneak attack the river beach, and then the army will officially attack." ”

Yu Wenshu feels very reasonable, although he has always flattered Yang Guang by his servile temperament and is called a minister, but when he was young, Yu Wenshu also led soldiers and fought many victories, so he knows some art of war, not a straw bag, and is much stronger than Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi.

"Okay, choose three thousand elites, before dawn, smuggle across the river from upstream, along the riverbed under the mountain, close to the river beach, launch an attack, and then General Yu, General Xin, General Wei, General Wang, the four of you lead the troops, in this order, the whole army crosses the river, so as to avoid gathering and delaying time, each of them reorganizes the army in their own battalions, and immediately rushes to the river beach to rush to the crossing, and responds to the sneak attack troops in front."

"The last general understands!" The men all nodded, thinking it was a good plan.

The next day, the sky was still a little hazy, and the dark curtain did not completely disperse.

Three thousand elites on rafts, small boats, secretly crossed the river and attacked the river beach fortress.

"Kill—"

The sound of fighting sounded, suddenly, and sure enough, it received a miraculous effect, the elite rushed to kill, and Yu Zhongwen commanded 30,000 soldiers to cross the river in the rear, without the war drums shocking the sky, and there was no horn in unison, using the color of the vast dawn, crossing the river halfway to be discovered by the enemy.

The archers on both sides wound up their arrows and shot round after round of arrows from each other.

The offensive began, and the Sui army fought a big battle with the Yizhi Wende garrison on the east bank of the Yalu River.

"Report, General, the Sui army secretly crossed the river and launched an attack!" The scout chief came to report quickly.

"Is Luo Cheng leading the troops?" Eulzhiwende asked.

"No, it is said that Yu Wenshu was the new vanguard commander, led 200,000 troops, and fought the vanguard." The scout chief replied.

The corners of Yizhi Wende's mouth overflowed and sneered: "Then it's easy to deal with, the generals listen to the order, according to the second set of plans I set the day before yesterday, to retreat into advance, and exhaust the enemy's tactics!" ”

"Yes!" Some of the generals all clenched their fists, and then went out of the camp to arrange the dispatch.

This time the battle lasted only one hour, and the Goguryeo army began to retreat.

Yu Wenshu, Xin Shixiong and others, after learning the news, were all overjoyed, and while sending people to send good news to the saint who was hurrying in the rear, they stepped up their efforts to cross the river and pursue the victory.

Within one day, Yuwenshu and other five-way armies won seven battles and seven victories, and Goguryeo seemed to be defeated.

When night came, Yu Wenshu, Xin Shixiong, Wang Rengong, Yu Zhongwen and others led the army to the west bank of Sashui.

The seven victories on this day were unbelievable, and the originally turbulent Goguryeo soldiers became weak, and they were defeated in less than half an hour.

"Haha, Goguryeo estimates that in last year's war, the elite division has been killed, and this year's soldiers and horses are obviously lacking in combat effectiveness, give us an opportunity!" Yu Wenshu laughed, this time he made a meritorious contribution and increased his face, and he was finally able to suppress Luo Cheng's momentum and sharpness. (To be continued.) )
