On the Beijiangkou Plain, 50,000 Goguryeo troops launched a siege battle against the Left Fifth Army, and each army took turns to attack, and even used all kinds of siege equipment.

It would be false to say that the Left Fifth Army in Tucheng did not defend hard, but because there was no way to retreat from the battle, the soldiers of the Left Fifth Army were just flooded by water and flooded soldiers.

There are casualties at every turn.

Everyone sacrifices their lives to fight hard, if they don't fight, they will die, fight hard, and maybe there is still a line of life.

In the midst of the fierce battle, Otji Ieyasu sent people to shoot dozens of letters into Tucheng.

Luo Cheng got the letter, but after reading it, he just frowned.

"Persuasion?" Wei Zheng asked.

"No, Xiao Yizhi's letter said that Goguryeo has been supported by the hundred officials and aristocratic groups headed by the southern lord, the marshal Ulzhi Wendeok, the eastern lord, and Moli Zhiyuan Taizuo, and the royal brother Gao Jianwu succeeded to the throne in the domestic city, and said that the new king has an order to completely annihilate our left Fifth Army, so as to repay us for breaking its Pyongyang and killing its king's blood and hatred."

"Don't the Goguryeo people know that Gao Yuan is not dead?" Wang Ziming asked.

Wei Zheng smiled, "They must know that Gao Yuan is not dead, but they just deliberately treat him as if he is dead." Since Gao Yuan was captured by us, in order to avoid the next embarrassment, they pretended that Gao Yuan was killed by us, and then they supported Gao Jianwu as the king, so that we could not blackmail them, and they could even use the reason that the king was killed to arouse the anger and war spirit of the Goguryeo people. ”

"It's quite clever, I guess it's Etoshi Wende's idea again."

"Why did Yuan Taizuo support Gao Jianwu, before Gao Yuan had already washed the Yuan clan and their families in Pyongyang City."

"Since Eokchi supports Gao Jianwu to succeed to the throne in the domestic city, not on the ruins of Pyongyang, then the biggest possibility is that Eokchi and they played some tricks to control Yuan Taizuo, and he had to support it."

The fourth child said dissatisfiedly, "Then the high yuan in our hands is still useless, it is better to kill it, and the province will waste food." ”

Luo Cheng shook his head, Gao Yuan is the king of a country after all, no matter what, if he brings it back, it is also an extremely valuable captive, and he can be rewarded with many meritorious deeds from the emperor.

"Since Xiao Yizhi is playing with us like this, then let's take Gao Yuan to the city to persuade the Goguryeo army under the city to surrender and let him be refreshed." Wei Zheng had a very bad idea.

Didn't you say that Gao Yuan was dead, and you also supported Gao Jianwu as the new king, then I will take Gao Yuan out and make an appearance now, and see how you explain to these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

"Yes, let him go and persuade him to surrender, but take care to protect him and don't let him die." Luo Cheng said with a smile.

The Goguryeo people attacked fiercely.

But the Sui army's counterattack was also very fierce.

Although the earth city is not large, there are several forts outside Luo Cheng's earth city, and there are two small forts not far from the two corners facing Pyongyang, which have 1,800 people stationed in them, which makes Luo Cheng's earth city have a three-dimensional defense capability.

Another one, after Luo Cheng broke Pyongyang, he brought a large number of equipment from Pyongyang, such as catapults, which could not only attack the city, but also defend the city.

Although there are only about 16,000 people left in the Left Fifth Army, there are still a large number of prisoners in Tucheng, and these prisoners are manipulating these catapults and bed crossbows under the supervision of the Sui army to shoot at the Goguryeo army outside the city.

Fighting.

On the upper floor of the North Gate, the fourth elder escorted Gao Yuan and several of his ministers up.

Then, dozens or hundreds of Sui soldiers in the city chanted Gao Yuan's name in unison.

Gao Yuan was asked to put on the robe of the king, and although his legs trembled, he had to go to the city and shout, and every time he shouted, hundreds of Sui soldiers recited it in unison.

After shouting like this for a while, the Goguryeo people under the city finally understood what was going on.

The more some people looked at it, the more shocked they became, wasn't the king in the city the one who had been killed?

Many Goguryeo people were stunned, and the offensive was also sluggish.

"Damn, that's fake, fake, fake, that's the stand-in that the Sui people are looking for, the king has already been brutally killed by them, and now we have established a new king, everyone will continue to attack me, break through the camp, kill all the Sui people, and avenge the first king!"

Some will be skeptical.

However, there are still many people who think that the one in the city is the king Gao Yuan.

In the city, Luo Cheng and the others couldn't help but laugh when they looked at the tangled and embarrassed appearance of the Goguryeo people.

Laughing and laughing, everyone fell silent.

What's so ridiculous, killing and killing, everyone is already a little tired of it.

After almost two years of expedition, in this distant overseas foreign land, even if you grab more gold, silver, treasure, money, and silk, no matter how great your military exploits are, you must be able to return to your hometown, so that you can return to your hometown and seal your wife and son.

Everyone is tired of this kind of non-ending fighting.

Wei Zheng suddenly sang a song.

This is a somewhat sad tune, the content seems to be about the wandering prodigal son who misses his hometown, and the song is sung by Qilu Xiangyin.

Listening and listening, the fourth child couldn't help but sing along, and finally more and more Sui soldiers also sang along.

Everyone couldn't help but shed tears while singing.

At the beginning of entering Liao, everyone came with the idea of killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, and when they fought for the first time, they were excited, and when they made meritorious contributions for the first time, they were happy.

But when the crusade was endless, the fighting was endless, the companions around them fell one after another, and when their ranks were constantly reduced and could no longer be replenished, their state of mind had changed.

The two-year-long campaign made them exhausted and tired.

Off the coast of the mouth of the Beijiang River.

A small boat came out of Bailing Island, and after the general came to Hu'er and led 30,000 soldiers to leave, there were no more warships on the island, and there were no soldiers, only about 40,000 auxiliaries were left on the island, and the sailors and soldiers left with the general.

Because of the lack of ships and soldiers, the 40,000 auxiliary soldiers on the island camped at the foot of the southern mountain of the island during this time to avoid being discovered by the Goguryeos, and tried not to go on land.

Because of this, when Luo Cheng sent troops along the coastline to look for the Lai Hu'er Water Division, he passed through the coast of the Bei River Estuary many times, but did not find a single sailor soldier.

Today, the sailors who were fishing in the sea near the island seemed to hear the sound of war drums and trumpets coming from afar, and when they reported this information, the last remaining auxiliary generals deliberated for a long time, and decided to send a few boats to the coast to investigate.

Several dinghys slowly paddled towards the mouth of the river.

The closer I got, the louder the horn and drums became, and gradually, the sound of the battle became clearer and clearer.

"It seems that there is a large army fighting nearby, and it seems to be near the mouth of the river."

"Would you like to check it out?"

"Let's go check it out."

Then, a few dinghys ventured into the Bei River and went uphill.

When they crossed a river bay, they suddenly saw a city standing on the west bank in front of them, which was their previous camp, and now there was an earthen city standing on this camp, and the earth city was being besieged by countless soldiers and horses, and on the wall of the earth city, it was the military flag of the Great Sui.

"It's our people."

"It's a soldier of the Great Sui Mansion!"

"When was this city built, and where did these soldiers come from?"

The sailor soldiers were a little confused.

"Whatever the fuck are you doing, I just know that many Goguryeo troops are besieging our Dasui soldiers now, and we must report back to the generals on the island immediately and let them come for reinforcements!"
