Chapter 373: Attack Pyongyang

An army of 100,000 came across the sea on more than 1,000 warships.

In the Beishui River, thousands of sails break the waves.

Everywhere on both sides of the strait were rising beacon fires, and countless Goguryeo people fled.

"Dashuai, do you want to land at the mouth of the river first and set up a camp and build a fortress?" Deputy Marshal Zhou Fashang asked to protect the child.

At this time, Laihu'er was thinking about going straight to the Goguryeo royal city, and he didn't think about any other plans at all. "According to the Shengshang's plan, the Ninth Army of Yuwen Shu should have arrived at the city of Pyongyang, and we have been delayed for some time on the way, and it has been postponed. At this time, there is no need to go ashore to set up any more camps, and go directly to Pyongyang to join the Ninth Army. ”

On the wide Beishui River, there is not a single Goguryeo warship.

The city of Pyongyang is about 200 miles from the mouth of the sea, and although Pyongyang is very close to the sea, the meandering of the Bei River greatly increases the distance.

It is said that after the fall of the Shang Dynasty, the Yin Shang nobleman Jizi came to Korea, with Pyongyang as the capital, and it was for the Jizi Joseon. Pyongyang Castle is also known as Kei Fortress.

When he arrived in the Western Han Dynasty, the Yan people Wei Man fled to Korea, replaced Jizi Korea, and established Wei Manchu Korea. Emperor Wu of the Later Han Dynasty sent troops to destroy Manchu Korea, occupy Pyongyang, and set up four counties in the northern part of the peninsula, so that the peninsula was directly under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains.

Among them, the area around Pyongyang is Lelang County, which is the center of the four Han counties, and Lelang County governs Joseon County, south of the Bae River. ”

Laihu'er pointed to the wide plain and said, "This is a good place, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the land is fertile, the climate is much warmer than that of Liaodong, and the land is much more fertile." As long as the sea route is smooth, it is not very far from the Central Plains. When we take the peninsula, we will be able to restore Lelang County again. ”

Laihu'er turned out to be from Nanchen, and the water nature was excellent, and he looked at the land on both sides of the Bei River, and felt as if he had returned to Jiangnan.

With 100,000 soldiers, he will be arrogant when he comes to protect his children.

The fleet marched forward until it reached the Gangseo Wanwon, sixty miles from Pyongyang City.

The sixth son of Laihu'er came in stride, and reported in a low voice, "Father, Fei Qingnu sent someone to report, just ahead, found the Goguryeo iron cable barricade, they gathered an army of 50,000 people on the plain on the west bank. ”

"Hahaha, I didn't think that the Goguryeo people still had a bit of a species, and I thought that I couldn't see a single resistor until I was under the city of Pyongyang. came just in time, and dared to go out of the city to fight, then kill them, and then take Pyongyang City in one fell swoop. ”

Laihu'er is in a good mood.

50,000 Goguryeo people, dare to go out of the city to fight?

He carried more than a thousand ships, loaded with three armies and 100,000 horses, not to mention tens of thousands of sailors.

"Dashuai, beware of the Goguryeo people's deception." Deputy Marshal Zhou Fashang reminded that in his opinion, there was really no reason for the Goguryeo people to come to the field here.

"Do you know who the Goguryeo coach is?"

Lai Liulang said, "It is said that it is Gao Jianwu, the younger brother of King Gao Yuan, Gao Jianwu is the half-brother of King Gao Yuan, and it is said that he is brave and martial, and he has some skills." ”

"Hmph, children of the royal family, no matter how capable they are, how strong can they be, Goguryeo actually did not send a famous general to command the army, but instead sent a prince, this is self-defeating. By my order, the fleet was ready to land on the west bank. ”

Zhou Fashang personally supervised the battle, but the Goguryeo people did not come to defend the beach.

Laihu'er and others led their troops to the West Bank with ease.

"Report!"

"Goguryeo King Gao Yuan personally marched in front of the formation, and Goguryeo lined up for ten miles."

Laihu'er squinted and looked ahead, on the Jiangxi Plain, the Goguryeo army was densely packed, and one after another military formations were placed there.

"It seems that Gao Yuan is planning to fight to the death, which is more than 50,000 people."

"About 80,000 people." Forward general Fei Qingnu reported.

"Even if I come to 100,000, I'm not afraid, I thought that Gao Yuan would be strong and clear, so that what I get in the field can only be attacked. But now we have to fight to the death, and we can annihilate them in one day and enter the city of Pyongyang. ”

Over there, the Goguryeo people took the initiative to attack before the Sui army could gain a firm foothold.

Gao Yuan's younger brother Gao Jianwu personally led thousands of death squads to attack first, and one after another Goguryeo army formations followed closely behind.

Laihu'er laughed.

"Who wants to be the vanguard of the king division and break the formation?"

Lai Liulang and Fei Qingnu shouted together for an order.

"Okay, Ben Shuai will make the two of you the vanguard of the left and right, and each commander will face the battle."

In the face of Goguryeo's initiative, the counterattack of Lai Liulang and Fei Qingnu was very simple, and they directly led 10,000 light cavalry to rush and kill.

Perhaps the Goguryeo people didn't expect that the Sui army that came across the sea could still have 10,000 light cavalry.

Although the dead soldiers led by Gao Jianwu were not afraid of death, the foot soldiers had no chance of winning against the light cavalry.

Lai Rokuro is less than twenty this year, but his riding and archery skills are not under his father's protection, and he is the best martial artist among the brothers in the Lai family.

He rushed forward with five thousand light horsemen, shooting as he went. When he saw that he was about to rush into the Goguryeo infantry gun array, he led the light cavalry to separate the wings and continued to draw bows and arrows around the Goguryeo.

So repeatedly, it is not to rush Goguryeo's step formation.

Gao Jianwu's death squad was peeled thinner and thinner, and the Goguryeo army that followed behind could only cope with it.

A Goguryeo cavalry struck from both flanks.

At this time, Lai Liulang and Fei Qingnu led the light cavalry to retreat, and even rode back and turned back to shoot arrows.

The Goguryeo light cavalry pursued them in front of the Sui infantry, only to be greeted by a rain of arrows.

This style of play made the Goguryeo people suffer a lot.

thought that he would be able to kill a happy one, but who expected that the Sui army would actually use this kind of rogue play.

"The flag language gives an order, let Liulang and Fei Qingnu rush again!" Laihu'er ordered, "Let the armored cavalry prepare for the assault." ”

The drums thundered.

After teasing the Goguryeo people for a long time, the two young generals regrouped and killed the Goguryeo people again.

They shoot arrows as they charge.

"Bring all the cavalry up and destroy them!"

Goguryeo Central Army, King Gao Yuan personally ordered.

Countless Goguryeo cavalry slaughtered out of their own camp and faced the Sui cavalry.

The two armies rushed closer and closer, arrows flew indiscriminately, and people continued to fall from their horses.

Seeing that the Goguryeo cavalry was outnumbered and few, a group of 3,000 heavy cavalry suddenly came out from behind the Sui army's light cavalry.

This cavalry is all black and iron, and even the horses are black.

Men and horses are armoured.

Three thousand heavy horsemen lined up in several rows, rampage.

Under the assault of 3,000 heavy cavalry, the cavalry of the Goguryeo people could not withstand it, and the two of them took advantage of the situation to strangle from both wings.

"Haha, the victory has been decided, let the foot soldiers cover up the whole army, capture Gao Yuan alive, and behead Gao Jianwu!"

Laihu'er raised the iron spear and waved the army to cover the killing.

Three thousand heavy cavalry assaulted in front, and ten thousand light cavalry covered the two wings.

More than 80,000 foot soldiers took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill.

The Goguryeo army was defeated.

Lai Hu'er ordered the fleet to wait in Jiangxi Bay, and then asked Zhou Fashang to lead 40,000 heavy soldiers and 20,000 soldiers to stay in Jiangxi Bay, and set up a camp on the Jiangxi Bay Plain to sweep the surrounding area.

Then he personally led 40,000 soldiers on foot and pursued the defeated army to the city of Pyongyang.

Sixty miles of pursuit, beheaded and captured more than 5,000 Goguryeo troops.

Killed under the city, the Goguryeo people retreated into the city, and closed the city gates.

Lai Hu'er led 40,000 soldiers to Pyongyang City, but did not see the Ninth Army such as Yu Wenshu.

"The Ninth Army hasn't even arrived yet?"

"Father, Goguryeo is newly defeated, the turtle can't retreat, and the Ninth Army has not yet arrived, should you sweep the periphery of Pyongyang first?"

"The sweep on the periphery of Pyongyang has been handed over to Vice Marshal Zhou, and the purpose of our visit is Pyongyang City. Come on, give me a scolding city. ”

A group of Sui soldiers came to the city and scolded, and some people took off their pants directly to pee on the city, insulting them for a long time, and finally the city reacted.

"It's out, the Goguryeo people finally can't help it and go out of the city to fight."

"Come just in time, kill me, kill as many as you want."

Lai Cheng and Fei Qingnu rushed to kill the vanguard, and the Goguryeo soldiers out of the city were defeated not long after, and fled back to the city.

Rairokuro took advantage of the situation and led the army to cover the killing, and followed the defeated army into the outer city of Pyongyang.

Come to Hu'er to watch the big joy in the back, "The city is broken, the whole army will follow me!" Kill into Pyongyang City and capture Gao Yuan alive! ”

Tens of thousands of soldiers, all excited, broke through the enemy's capital, and immediately fought bravely to be the first, and killed Pyongyang City together.
