Chapter 405: A Knife in the Back (Thanks to 1 Farmer Uncle Wanbo!) )

"General, the two armies on the west bank of the mouth of the Bei River are fighting."

"Where did the two armies come from?"

"It is my Great Sui Left Fifth Army that is fighting with Goguryeo, and at least 50,000 Goguryeo troops are besieging more than 10,000 Left Fifth Army brothers, who are fighting to the death with their backs to the sea, building soil as a wall."

"The Left Fifth Army? How did more than 10,000 people of the Fifth Army on the Left come here, and didn't the Ninth Army have all been defeated from the city of Pyongyang? ”

"This matter is true, we saw the red battle flag of the Great Sui, the general banner of the Left Fifth Army General Xiangyang Hou Luocheng, and the brothers of my Great Sui Pao Ze who were bleeding and fighting."

"Damn, what are you waiting for, blow the horn, gather the whole army, we will cross the sea and land, and kill the damn Goguryeo."

"But General, we don't have a ship."

"There's nothing to be afraid of without a boat, didn't we cut down a lot of trees, set up a wooden raft, here is only ten or twenty miles away from the land on the other side, even if it is rowed, we can row it."

"Yes, obligation!"

········

"Xiao Yizhi still has some ability to fight, but if he wants to capture my earth city, that is to extract his teeth, and he is still a little tender!"

Luo Cheng sat on the north gate tower of Tucheng and watched the battlefield, countless soldiers were rushing to kill, you come and go.

After the brothers went out of the city, one went east along the city wall, one went west along the city wall, and the two light horses rushed forward like two sharp knives, and the Goguryeo foot soldiers who finally braved the Sui army's arrow rain to rush under the city wall and were about to set up a ladder to harvest mercilessly.

Si Ye Mo swung his knife repeatedly, the knife flashed, and every time the knife slashed, he would definitely cut down an enemy soldier. And the long Laos of filial piety is even more sharp, hooking left and stabbing right, and the direction is clothed.

After a round of impact, the little hope of victory that the Goguryeo people had accumulated with great difficulty came to naught in a blink of an eye.

Countless Goguryeo soldiers under the city were cut down, the newly erected siege ladders were also knocked down, and those rushing carts and siege rams that were pushed to the city gate were even poured with fire oil and burned.

After ruthlessly crushing this wave of Goguryeo attacks, Cunxiao and Heiye returned to the city triumphantly.

On the spear of each Sui army's light cavalry, the head of a Goguryeo soldier was held high.

In this face, Ieyasu Otoshi, who watched the battle behind him, turned pale and gritted his teeth.

"Beat the drums, keep attacking!"

········

At the end of the day's fierce battle, the city was littered with the corpses of Goguryeo, at least in the thousands.

Bloody air rose to the sky.

As night fell, the Goguryeo people finally ended today's offensive with a little unwillingness, and collected their troops and camped ten miles away from the city.

Nothing happened overnight.

Luo Cheng didn't arrange for anyone to attack the camp, after such a long time, the Goguryeo people must have been prepared, so Luo Cheng didn't bother to go, and he didn't even have the idea of disturbing the camp.

Early the next morning, the Goguryeo people really came out of the camp again to attack.

Luo Cheng waited for them to come to the city, so he ordered Gao Yuan and other Goguryeo monarchs and ministers to be pushed to the city gate tower, and came to persuade them to surrender as usual.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Cheng had many Goguryeo prisoners taken to the city.

Behind the rows of Goguryeo people stood their compatriots, but at this time, these people were extremely frightened.

With the order of the Sui army, those Goguryeo people who stood at the front were decapitated by their comrades behind them with knives and pushed down the city, and then the row of Goguryeo people who had just killed their comrades were driven to the edge of the city, and then their knives were transferred to their comrades behind them, and they were killed.

Repeat, repeat.

Early this morning, the Sui army slaughtered 10,000 Goguryeo youths in the city.

Ten thousand corpses were piled high under the city, and the blood soaked the ground under the city red.

The Goguryeo army was shocked by the Sui army's ruthless methods.

But the Sui army in the city had a numb expression.

Either you die or I die, and no one has the slightest sympathy at this time.

Otto Ieyasu was silent, silently silent.

This morning the Goguryeo army did not attack.

The Sui army opened the city gate and sent a cavalry to escort thousands of Goguryeo people out of the city to clean up the battlefield under the city.

When the corpses under the city were cleaned up, these thousands of Goguryeo troops were driven to the side of the corpse mountain by the Sui army's light cavalry, and were mercilessly shot by random arrows.

"It's cruel." Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

"yes, it's cruel." Luo Cheng also nodded slowly.

But mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, and of the nearly 300,000 brothers of the Eighth Army, only a few tens of thousands fled, and the remaining nearly 200,000 people either fell on the road hundreds of miles from Pyongyang to the Yalu River or were captured.

These people, they will definitely not be treated well.

"After this battle, Goguryeo will become a scorched earth." Wei Zhengdao.

"The blood has watered these lands, and next year they will grow better flowers."

Goguryeo did not move at all for a whole day.

It wasn't until the next day that they went on the offensive again, only this time, they were more desperate and more fearless of death. Although Tucheng was guarded by countless catapults, crossbows, and bows and arrows, it was still unable to withstand the desperate efforts of the Goguryeo people, and the enemy army attacked the city several times and was driven down several times.

In one day of fierce fighting, the Left Fifth Army suffered nearly 3,000 casualties, which was the heaviest day since Luo Cheng led his troops across the Liao River.

In retaliation, in the twilight of the same day, the Sui army executed another 10,000 Goguryeo prisoners by the Bei River.

On the third day, Goguryeo attacked again.

On the fourth day, both armies were red-eyed, from morning to noon, from noon to dusk, and the sky was about to be dark, but the Goguryeo army had no intention of retreating this time, and still attacked non-stop.

A section of the north wall of Tucheng was smashed down by the Goguryeo catapults, revealing a gap several zhang wide, and the Goguryeo people desperately came to snatch this gap, and Luo Cheng personally led the white horse to block the opening.

"Looks like we're going to die here today." Wei Zheng carried a sword and stabbed down a rushing Goguryeo soldier, panting at Luo Chengdao.

"Don't worry, you can't die yet." Luo Cheng still said.

"Listen, what's the sound over there?" Wei Zheng suddenly pricked up his ears.

"It seems to be the sound of fighting, it seems to be coming from behind the Goguryeo?"

Luo Cheng listened, and indeed seemed to hear a faint voice coming from over there, "Could it be the water master?" ”

"Sailor, where did they come from?"

At this time, when Goguryeo stormed Tucheng, the 40,000 auxiliary soldiers of the heavy battalion of the sailors on Bailing Island relied on logs as a row and cut wood for pulp, and landed on the other side of the island with a wooden platoon, and they took three days to transport 40,000 people across the shore and rushed all the way to the back of the Goguryeo army.

When twilight came, they struck out and killed everyone by surprise.

Although they were auxiliaries and the auxiliaries of the sailors, there were 40,000 horses, even if there were no horses, but one person, one bow, one person and one spear, and the Goguryeo people were still killed.

Luo Cheng turned around and got on his horse, held a prancing horse, and leaped out of the city.

"Come with me, kill!"

The officers and men of the Fifth Left Army, who had been pressed and beaten by the Goguryeo people for several days, had long been suppressed to the extreme, and at this time, they all roared up, chanting battle calls, and killed the Goguryeo army together.

"Long live, long live!"

"Wind!"

"Kill!"

One after another, the Sui army jumped out and slaughtered the Goguryeo army with thousands of troops.
