The army landed one after another, cleared the river surface, pushed away the boulders, filled the horse pit, made the Wuya battleship behind slowly approach, arrived at the river beach, and tens of thousands of soldiers went ashore at one time, until late at night, more than 200,000 troops had been transported.

The Fifth Route Army was the vanguard, encamping in front and arranging defensive lines to guard against the sneak attack of the Goguryeo army.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and the ministers of civil and military affairs did not cross the river and rested on the south bank of Liaoshui, after all, the opposite bank was full of uneasy factors, and the territory of Goguryeo could be ambushed and attacked at any time.
Today's war has caused heavy casualties to the Sui army, and the ministers and generals who were originally arrogant and felt that they could easily sweep away the small country were a little shaken in confidence.
It's just the first battle, and it's going to cost so much.
At night, Luo Zhaoyun came out and walked around, looking at the moonlight and the crisp autumn air, he was a little worried, Goguryeo is really a difficult bone to gnaw, and when fighting with it, he must not drive in person, but should send some scouts to disturb him, disintegrate from the inside, and then send surprise troops to attack, he did not dare to advance layer by layer like this, and the casualties were too great.
He has seen the map here, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were few people outside the Guan, and the forests had not been destroyed, so most of the area was dense mountain forests, and there were few people living there.
Liaoshui, Yalu water, Sashui, and Hunshui four obstacles, and the terrain continues to deepen, if the Sui army breaks through the pass and attacks the past, there are also city attacks along the way, the troops are spread out, and the grain and grass transportation is difficult, and the million army said that it collapsed, and it was also an overnight thing.
Yang Guang's expedition to Goguryeo and Tang Taizong's expedition to the Bohai Kingdom were both failures and returned with complex similarities.
"This Goguryeo is the threat behind my Youzhou, if we can hit it hard, it will be best to relieve my Luo family's base camp of troubles in the future."
Luo Zhaoyun saw today's battle in his eyes, this time, he was not in charge, just accompanied by the generals of the Imperial Forest Army on the king's side, to protect Yang Guang's safety, the front-line affairs have nothing to do with him, just as a spectator, but Luo Zhaoyun is still very new, maybe in the future, there will be similar hard battles between himself and Goguryeo, how can he know himself and his opponent in order to reduce casualties.
"Is the descendant of Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, in the land of Liaodong?" He vaguely suspected that some descendants of the Northern Qi Dynasty were dormant in the western and eastern Liaodong areas.
Luo Zhaoyun thought in his heart that it would play a huge role in how to spread the business to Goguryeo in the future, disperse the scouts, inquire about information, and play a huge role at a critical time.
………
Early the next morning, Emperor Yang of Sui couldn't wait to cross the river with his people, came to the camp on the north bank, commanded the generals of all armies, and continued to attack and besiege Liaodong City.
This Liaodong city is the largest city outside the Guan, on a par with Pyongyang City, since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it has been operating here, hundreds of years down, continuous expansion, several changes of city lords, after the Northern Qi, fell into the hands of Goguryeo.
During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, he sent an army to attack and recapture Liaodong, but the 300,000 army suffered great losses and finally failed.
"Tomorrow besiege the city, one city wall will send two armies, so that the eight roads of men and horses will take turns to attack, within three days, we must conquer the city!" In front of many generals, Yang Guang gave orders and set a deadline.
"Order!" Yu Zhongwen, Mai Tiezhu, Zhao Cai, Xin Shixiong and others took the emperor's order and continued to fight.
Yang Guang glanced at Luo Zhaoyun again and asked, "Luo Cheng, have all the siege equipment been delivered?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, one-third of the equipment has been transported to conquer Liaodong City, which is enough!"
"That's good!" Emperor Yang of Sui nodded, did not mention it again, waved his hand, and asked the generals to return to the camp, each in his place, ready to attack the city tomorrow.
Luo Zhaoyun wanted to speak and stopped, didn't say much, or wait for the battle situation to attack Liaodong City, see what the situation is behind, and make a definition, whether to give Sui Yang Emperor advice.
………
A day's preparation passed quickly, and Liaodong City was already surrounded by the Sui army on all sides.
The flags are fluttering, the iron armor is cold, the weapons are showing their edge, the bow and arrow array, the spear array, the knife and axe hand, the shield hand, etc., are arranged in an orderly manner, and each side of the city has mobilized two armies, more than 670,000 people and horses, and the soldiers are majestic.
Two days ago, the Fifth Army was damaged, and at this time it had been withdrawn from the other auxiliary armies to make up for the casualties.
"Knock knock!"
The drums of war became short, and the horn of the attack sounded.
Suddenly, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the Sui army began to push all kinds of siege equipment to rush to the city.
Rushing cars, building cars, ladders, etc., under the control of the Sui army soldiers, approached the city wall.
At this moment, the Goguryeo soldiers at the head of the city were throwing arrows downward, all kinds of rolling stones and trees, boiling water and wolf smoke, pouring down and smashing down.
It was a tragic battlefield, with the Sui army charging into battle, the Goguryeo soldiers resisting to the death, and the corpses lying in pools of blood everywhere that would never get up again.
More than 100,000 people and horses are attacking the city, boundless, and it seems that there is really a huge momentum of throwing whips and breaking the stream, raising hands like clouds.
"Woohoo!"
The rows of crossbow arrows under the city shot at the city as if they didn't cost anything, trying to suppress the counterattack of the city.
In this stormy and fierce blow, the Sui army had more than 100 stone throwing machines, smashing more than 100 pounds of stone bullets to the city, every boulder fell down, there was a rumbling and rumbling sound, some soldiers were smashed their heads cracked, the city head was damaged, and the siege battle between the two sides began.
