When Luo Cheng led his troops into Beisha City, he was also shocked by the bloodshed in the city.

I can't imagine what happened here, it's like hell.

"Clean up the battlefield and clean up Beisha City." Luo Cheng reluctantly ordered.

Collect the dead and wash away the bloodstains.

Beisha became a dead city, and Great Black Mountain became a dead mountain.

But the city of Beisha is still there, and the city of ten miles is still standing on the Great Black Mountain.

Sitting in the mansion of the Beisha City Lord, which was filled with the smell of blood, Luo Cheng began to write a recital for the emperor. This letter is more difficult to write, and Luo Cheng has written it several times but is not satisfied.

Finally he threw down his pen.

"Wei Sima, you can write it, remember to say a few good words for Zhou Shuai."

Three days later.

Under the city of Liaodong.

Yang Guang, who was discussing the plan to attack Liaodong City with the generals of the Xiaoguo Army, received this piece written by Wei Zheng, and after opening it and watching it, Yang Guang was silent for a long time.

"Your Majesty?"

Yu Shiji asked.

Yang Guang sighed and raised the Luo Cheng chapter in his hand, "Luo Chenggang, the head of the water division, has just sent a report and has captured Beisha City. ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, another victory in the Eastern Crusade."

But the emperor was not so happy, "It was not easy to fight in Beisha City, and the Fourth and Sixth Armies of Laihu'er and Zhou Fashang had been completely destroyed, and only 8,000 people remained. ”

At this time, the civil and military forces were shocked.

How is this possible, Laihu'er and Zhou Fashang are also known as generals, and they are very capable of fighting. The two armies under their command were 65,000 men, although the number of the first army was not as good as Luo Cheng's Fifth Army, which had 35,000, but it was also 32,500 men and horses, and the two armies were 65,000, leaving 8,000, which was a loss of 57,000?

How was this battle fought?

"Yu Qing, come and read this letter and let everyone listen to it."

Yu Shiji took it and finished reading.

Full of silence.

Unexpectedly, the fight has not started here, and Luo Cheng's sailors have already fought so fiercely in southern Liaoning. First annihilated 20,000 reinforcements in Ancheng City, then broke Jian'an City, and then fought a bloody battle in Shicheng, beheading 20,000 troops of Goguryeo, and then in a bloody battle of Beisha, and beheading 20,000 troops of Goguryeo.

Counting up, Luo Cheng's sailors have fought three bloody battles, annihilated more than 60,000 enemies, and destroyed two large cities.

Although the Sui army also lost nearly 60,000, it was still relatively fruitful.

"The minister impeached Lai'er to protect his son, and Zhou Fashang lost his teacher and misled the country!" Seeing that the emperor was not very happy, the imperial historian Pei Yun immediately jumped out to impeach the emperor.

Yang Guang waved his hand, "Luo Cheng has already said very clearly, although there were many losses in the bloody battle of Shicheng and the bloody battle of Beisha, it was not all due to the wrong command of the two of them, although there were a lot of losses, but after all, it was a victory in the end, and it should be meritorious and innocent." ”

After speaking, Yang Guang knocked on the imperial case.

"You have also heard that Beisha City is far more dangerous than Liaodong City. But Luo Cheng with 100,000 sailors, before and after only a month, but he forced to capture Beisha City, not only broke Beisha, but also mobilized reinforcements from the three major cities of Anshi, Wugu and Shicheng, as well as the defenders of more than ten cities around Beisha to help, and finally almost wiped out them. ”

The last time I attacked Liaodong City, an army of 120,000 troops surrounded it for several months, but it didn't come down, but it made Yang Guang very faceless.

"Although Liaodong City is a large city, it is a city of plains after all, and it is far less dangerous than Beisha. So this time, I personally led the 100,000 Xiaoguo army to capture Liaodong City. ”

The generals couldn't help but be stimulated, yes, people came to protect Zhou Fashang in the bloody battle of Shicheng, but there are still Yu Yong who fought hard in Beisha City, they have 100,000 fruits, what reason is there not to take a Liaodong City.

"There were some deficiencies in the failure of the last siege, and I have already found out the reason, and this time I have learned a lesson."

After Yang Guang went back last time, he also summed up a lot of failures, for example, he almost captured Liaodong City several times in the last attack, but because the enemy surrendered, he said to give them a chance to breathe.

Again, it was not a storm at the beginning. Another is that Liaodong City is indeed very tall and strong, and it lacked enough siege equipment last time.

And this time, Yang Guang did not plan to persuade Liaodong City to surrender until it was captured. As for the siege equipment, he also prepared a lot this time, and also brought many craftsmen.

He had already asked craftsmen to build a large number of siege building vehicles, all of which had already been made of parts, and they could be assembled under the city of Liaodong, which was very convenient.

This kind of building cart is very tall, higher than Liaodong City, dozens of people can stand on it, push the building cart to the vicinity of the city wall, and the top is full of crossbowmen, and fire arrows at the head of the city and the city, which can suppress the defenders.

He also built countless catapults, preparing to constantly throw stones and fireballs into the city.

There are also countless siege vehicles, ladders, and more.

In short, Yang Guang didn't believe it, and there were still unbreakable cities.

He also plans to dig tunnels and pile up mountains of dirt.

These two tricks are an excellent way to deal with Pingyuan City, and Luo Yi and Luo Chengcheng have used this method to break through Goguryeo City before.

"Three days later, the city will be officially attacked, and the armies will go back to prepare."

When the generals dispersed, Yang Guang asked Yu Shiji to draw up an edict for him.

"The edict is to set up Lushun County in Beisha and the surrounding land, and Jian'an County in Jian'an and the surrounding land. The edict awarded Song Laosheng as the Taishou of Jian'an, and the edict awarded Luo Siye as the Taishou of Lushun. ”

As for Laihu'er and Zhou Fashang, the emperor gave the two of them a hundred true seals and a thousand silk silks, and then they were gone, and the reward was not heavy, but he did not pursue their defeat in Shicheng.

As for Luo Cheng, the head of the water division, he led 100,000 water divisions to lose 60,000, but he also gained a lot of money, so the emperor ordered to increase Luo Chengzhen's 200 households, a total of 500 households before the pass, and gave 1,000 catties of gold (about 500 yuan), 3,000 horses of silk, and 500 Goguryeo slaves.

As for Zhou Fashang, who came to protect his son, slaughtered Beisha City, the emperor did not say a word.

The emperor also urged Luo Cheng to lead his troops to the Yalu River at the end of his will, and prepare to cooperate with the support of the Sixth Army to attack the domestic city.

The will was transmitted to southern Liaoning.

Zhou Fa is still very calm, there is no big reward, but at least he is not guilty, he is still the deputy marshal, and he is still the general of the first army, but the soldiers under his command are a little pitiful, there are only 4,000 people, and now the 46 and 6 armies are reduced to the assistant army of the left fifth army.

The Fifth Army on the Left was also relatively calm, and the last merit report was also approved.

However, Heiye was a little surprised, and his performance in the last battle was not the most outstanding, but this time the emperor pulled him out alone and promoted him to the post of Lushun Taishou.

"The emperor means to let me stay in this Beisha City?"

"Well, that's what it means, but now Beisha City doesn't have this name, it's called Lushun City. You are the Taishou of Lushun, of course you have to stay, and I, I will draw 4,000 people from the Fourth and Sixth Armies to hand over to you to guard Lushun City. ”

"Can you give it to someone else, I don't want to be too guarded, I'm this piece of material." The third child was not very happy, but the fourth child was envious on the side, he wanted to be, but the emperor didn't arrange him.

"Lushun is very important, remember the last Daxingcheng? In this Eastern Crusade, Lushun City is as important as the last Daxing City, so you can't take it lightly, you must guard it for me, with Lushun City, we can have no worries. ”

The third child nodded reluctantly, "Okay, tell me, what is my mission here?" ”

"The task is to guard Lushun City, and then I will transfer Donglai's grain and grass to transport it across the sea, and store it in Lushun Port first, and you will stay on this big black mountain, responsible for preventing the Goguryeo people from crossing the city and attacking us from taking our grain. The others are gone, but if there is a police in Jian'an City, reinforcements will be provided according to the situation. ”

Although Luo Cheng was a little surprised that the emperor promoted the third child to Lushun Taishou, he felt that this was also a good thing, after all, his own brother could become a county Taishou, but it was not easy. He is the Taishou of Donglai, the third has become the Taishou of Lushun, and the two brothers are one in Shandong and the other in Liaodong, just controlling the Bohai Strait, and they can't ask for it.
