Chapter 467: A Shame Before the Snow, Return from Hell
Luo Cheng picked up the teacup, put it to his mouth and took a big sip, but he still couldn't suppress the fury in his heart.
Sixty-five thousand horses, if you add the sailors who carried them over, this is a great army of 100,000 men. When I went, I was full of confidence and said that I would send reinforcements to ambush.
Results.
"Come to Shuai, Zhou Shuai."
Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang lowered their heads, "The last general is incompetent, killing tens of thousands of brothers, please punish Luo Shuai." ”
"Now it's not a question of punishment or not." Luo Cheng shook his head, how could he punish him, he really took out Shang Fang's sword and cut the two of them? It's useless to cut it, and besides, these two Yang Guang's henchmen, he really doesn't dare to cut them.
Putting down the teacup, Luo Cheng sighed.
He had just annihilated 20,000 reinforcements from An'an City, but as a result, nearly 50,000 Sui troops were buried by Laihu'er over there.
Fortunately, Laihu'er was not without gain, at least he also killed 20,000 Goguryeo troops, which barely made up for some losses.
"This battle is indeed a bit careless, when you besiege the Goguryeo army in Wufeng Mountain, you should not hesitate, you should directly storm and annihilate this defeated army in one go. Even if there are more casualties, there will be no follow-up situation. ”
Laihu'er was also helpless, originally besieging the Goguryeo people to avoid too many casualties, thinking about trapping and starving them. But who would have thought that there would be continuous heavy rain in the back, which would make the epidemic rampant in the Sui army.
If it weren't for the heavy rain and the epidemic, no one could say that his decision to come to protect the siege must have been wrong. But now it turned out that he had lost, and he couldn't refute it.
Sometimes this is the case on the battlefield, a detail sometimes determines success or failure, and even many times, victory or defeat is all between a glimmer of luck.
"Heaven doesn't help."
"What now?" Feng Xiaoci asked.
The plan has changed, and it was originally intended to block the reinforcements first, and then attack Beisha. Now the reinforcements along the way to Anshi have been destroyed, but the reinforcements along the way to Wugu Shicheng have not been defeated.
"Hou Mo Chen Changshi, what do you think should happen next?"
Hou Mochen is known as Xiao Zhuge and is really good at planning this piece.
"If you want me to say, although this battle is lost, it is not completely defeated, at least the Goguryeo people have gone through this battle, and the reinforcements of Wugu and Shicheng will no longer be able to come to aid Beisha, so I think that we can leave Shicheng alone for now, let's continue the previous plan, and we can collect the net and attack Beisha."
Luo Cheng nodded, no matter how he came to Hu'er to fight, he would fight in Beisha City, and if he defeated Beisha, his plan could be regarded as unfolding. Liaonan Peninsula, he has taken it.
Take here and expedition to the Yalu River, so that you have no worries.
"A certain person is willing to lead his troops to attack Beisha City and atone for his sins!" Come to Hu'er and ask for battle.
"The last general is also willing to be a striker." Zhou Fashang also asked for battle.
In terms of military qualifications, the two of them are much older than Luo Cheng, and they even came to protect their children earlier than Luo Cheng.
In terms of age, Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang are both veterans over 50 years old, but in this army, regardless of age or seniority, what is really talked about is combat exploits.
was also to block the enemy's reinforcements, Luo Cheng's army destroyed 20,000, but their two armies were defeated.
"Okay, the commander will give the two deputy commanders a chance, and let you lead the headquarters to attack Beisha! Ben Shuai personally escorted you into battle! ”
There is no opportunistic thing in attacking the city of Beisha, it is just a tough battle.
On the march, this kind of tough battle is indispensable.
After returning to the barracks from the tent, Laihu'er was murderous and ordered his soldiers and horses to come to the city of Beisha.
The two armies were originally 65,000 men, but at this time there were less than 20,000 left.
In the face of the first fortified city in southern Liaoning, Laihu'er is ready to fight to the end.
"Observe the direction of the wind, prepare sulfur, oil, and dry firewood, and we will attack first."
The city of Beisha is located on the Great Black Mountain, surrounded by dense forests, which is extremely unfavorable for the deployment of the army. Lai Hu'er was also ruthless, and directly ordered to set fire to the mountain.
When the mountain burns bald, it will naturally be easy to attack.
Although this season is not a good season to burn mountains, as long as you prepare more accessories and make good use of the wind direction, you can still burn.
Waited a few days.
The sky finally cleared, and the heavy rain for half a month ended.
After a few days of preparation, Laihu'er gave an order, so he put the fire on it.
Mountain fires are ruthless, and once they are ignited, they are difficult to extinguish, and this fire is deliberately set by Laihu'er, and even prepared a lot of things to help ignite the fire.
The fire burned for three days and three nights, and the entire Great Black Mountain was enveloped in fire.
You can see and smell the smoke and dust from hundreds of miles away.
A fire burned down the Great Black Mountain Forest that had grown for countless years, leaving only countless black wooden stakes and countless charred animal carcasses.
When the fire stopped for a while, Laihu'er didn't care that there were still embers left in many places, so he ordered the horn of attack to be sounded.
The 20,000 defenders of Beisha were frightened by the fire these days, and they wanted to cry without tears.
The mountains were full of attacking Sui troops.
Laihu'er personally went to the city a hundred paces to supervise the battle.
Wave after wave of attacks, taking turns to attack without interruption, the soldiers of the two armies who retreated from the defeat of Shicheng were all holding back a breath of anger and desperately attacking and killing.
"With such an attack, the casualties are not small." Wei Zheng said beside Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng and the Left Fifth Army were also under Beisha City, but ten miles away, the whole army was there to watch the battle and march, but they did not come forward.
"Sometimes such a tough battle must also be fought, and only by being able to fight a tough battle can we review the real combat effectiveness of a unit. In this regard, Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang are still very good, but it's a pity that they are really unlucky this time. ”
Onslaught, onslaught, take turns to attack.
Laihu'er attacked for seven days and seven nights.
When the soldiers of the Fourth Army finally entered the city of Beisha with red eyes, there were nearly 20,000 men in the Fourth and Sixth Armies, and there were less than 8,000 left at this time.
They actually managed to lose sixty percent of the battle but did not retreat, and gnawed the hard bone of this Beisha.
The entire hillside under Beisha City is full of corpses of Sui soldiers killed in battle, a road paved with a sea of corpses and blood.
Laihu'er climbed to the top of the city of Beisha, knelt under the battle flag at the head of the city, and wept incessantly.
The soldiers of the 46th and 6th armies all cried loudly, they exchanged sixty percent of the casualties for the capture of Beisha City, and they also used this blood-stained Beisha City to be ashamed.
After crying.
Laihu'er stood up and gritted his teeth in Beisha City.
"Bloodbath the whole city! Kill every Goguryeo person, and leave no one behind. ”
The news reached Luo Cheng's ears.
Luo Cheng was just silent, he didn't give the order to stop it.
"Respect the decision of the two generals, the Left Fifth Army is not allowed to go up the mountain and enter the city, and it is not allowed to enter Beisha at a step."
Beisha City was captured, and Luo Cheng handed over Beisha City to Zhou Fashang and the two men to be executed, and also gave the wealth of the entire Beisha City to the two armies.
Laihu'er and Zhou Fashang took the surviving 8,000 soldiers to wash Beisha in blood for three days, and three days later, the two evacuated Beisha with 8,000 soldiers with red eyes.
The entire Beisha City has become a dead city, a ten-mile male city, where chickens and dogs are not heard, and the death-like silence is bloody and bloody.
Killed, 20,000 defenders, more than 50,000 Beisha and the people of southern Liaoning, let them kill for three days, and kill them all.
Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang also won the title of killing gods and slaughtering people.
"Dashuai, Beisha City has been taken, fortunately, it is not dishonored, and now it will be handed over to Dashuai."
Laihu'er said to Luo Cheng with red eyes, his eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse, as if he had just crawled out of hell.
Luo Cheng sighed and patted him on the shoulder, "Please take the brothers down and rest!" ”
