The dead bodies on the battlefield are piled up layer by layer, in a wavy line along the Beishui all the way forward, most of the dead bodies are Silla, Baekje coalition army, few Goguryeo corpses, and not far away is a phalanx composed of coalition forces, the front of the phalanx is scattered with the corpses of Goguryeo cavalry, and the crossbow arrows shot down from the Sui warships like spears, except for the coalition phalanx relying on the Sui warships, the coalition troops who landed on the shore have been nearly half dead.

There were still more than 3,000 remaining Goguryeo's 5,000 cavalry, and they paid more than 1,500 casualties, at least half of them died under the crossbow arrows fired from the Sui warships, and the surviving Goguryeo knights each slashed at least two or three Silla and Baekje coalition soldiers, and many even killed more than a dozen people.

Gao Yanshou looked at the coalition team in front of the Sui warship angrily, if it weren't for the protection of these crossbow arrows shot down from the battleship, after breaking through the coalition formation, they would not be long in the water, how could there be such a stalemate. He looked at the soldiers around him, and was about to give the order to rush again, when a herald in the distance rode his horse and ran over: "Lord Mo Lizhi has an order, withdraw immediately." ”

"Withdrawal?" Gao Yanshou was furious when he heard this, and pointed directly at the herald with his horsewhip: "The enemy is still on the shore, what army to withdraw, if you dare to give a false order, the general will cut you." ”

The herald's neck shrank, and he repeated with a panicked face: "General, Master Mo Lizhi has an order, withdraw the army immediately!" ”

Gao Yanshou naturally knew that the herald did not have the courage to falsely pass on Mo Lizhi's order, and looked at the coalition army in the distance, and couldn't help but "Phew." sighed, and said unwillingly: "Withdraw!" ”

The rumbling hooves sounded again, and the Goguryeo cavalry turned their horses' heads and retreated in the direction of their own military camp, watching the Goguryeo cavalry gradually move away, and the coalition soldiers on the shore dared to disperse the phalanx and leave the protection range of the Sui warships and clean up the battlefield. The rest of the coalition forces continued to land.

In this raid, the coalition army suffered a total of more than 5,000 casualties, of which more than 3,000 were killed on the spot, and this casualty was not a wound to the nearly 100,000 Silla and Baekje coalition troops. The whole river was filled with a heavy color.

On the imperial ship, Yang Yong put down the monoculars in his hand and asked the generals: "Do you think Aiqing is superior or weaker than the Goguryeo people?" ”

The ministers also put down their binoculars in their hands. This kind of monocular was made in the past two years, the telescope has a huge role in the military, Yang Yong began to send people to trial production more than ten years ago, but China has always produced colored glass instead of pure glass. In order to get the glass, Yang Yong not only allocated a large amount of money for research, but also sent someone to be responsible for eating from the big food. Merchants from places like Persia inquired about this technique. Make an offer to buy.

However, although the Romans used glass in doors and windows as early as the 4th century AD, the use of glass has not been popularized for hundreds of years, not to mention the technology to make glass obtained from overseas merchants, even the finished product cannot be obtained, the glass is too easy to break, and the merchants do not think that this kind of thing that can only be used as windows is worth transporting from thousands of miles to the East, and finally the agricultural college found a way to make pure glass. Only then did the manufacture of telescopes begin. The telescopes made today can only be magnified by about three to five times, and they are not as good as the toys of later generations. However, such a simple telescope is more valuable than gold at this time, and every general who gets it looks at his most precious treasure.

Through the telescope lens, the situation of the battle between the two armies just now was clearly seen in the eyes of the emperor and a minister, and when he heard the emperor's question, Yu Zhongwen preemptively said: "Your Majesty, according to Weichen, the Goguryeo people know the essence of cavalry warfare, and there is a degree of advance and retreat, although the Silla and Baekje coalition armies are still elite, but they suffer from the lack of cavalry, their strength is almost the same, and here is the plain, if the two armies face each other and attack each other with all their might, Goguryeo will win at least seventy percent." ”

As soon as Yu Zhongwen finished speaking, Zhou Fashang, Zhou Luoyu, Xue Shixiong and others all nodded slowly, and the people present, whether they were naval or army generals, had led the troops to fight many times, and their eyes were vicious, and through the battle just now, it was enough to see the reality of the two armies.

"So, what if you remove the 20,000 Goguryeo cavalry?" Yang Yong continued to ask.

"This ...... The minister thought that if Goguryeo did not have cavalry, then the combined forces of the two countries had a seventy percent chance of victory. Yu Zhongwen hesitated for a moment before saying it, the reason for the hesitation was because the Goguryeo people did not send infantry in this battle, and Yu Zhongwen could only estimate from the previous battle with the Goguryeo infantry in the north.

Yang Yong bowed slightly: "So, as long as the Goguryeo cavalry is restrained, Silla and Baekje will be victorious, do you think how many people will our army have to send to defeat the 20,000 cavalry of Goguryeo?" ”

Yu Zhongwen, Xue Shixiong and others exchanged opinions in a low voice: "Back to the emperor, if the Praetorian Guard is dispatched, 10,000 horses can be equivalent to the combat power of 20,000 cavalry in Goguryeo, and if it is a government soldier, it will need about 30,000 horses." ”

"Okay." Yang Yong struck himself with both hands and said, "Fang Xuanling, Liu Kang listens to the order." ”

The two hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "The minister is here!" ”

"You and the others will leave for the allied army camp tomorrow to convince the Silla and Baekje commanders that in view of the fact that the two countries have no cavalry, the Great Sui is willing to undertake the task of dealing with the Goguryeo cavalry, as long as they can defeat the Goguryeo infantry soldiers, the land alliance between the three kingdoms is still valid."

"Obey."

Although it is said that the goal of the Great Sui is to let the three kingdoms consume each other and then clean up together, but Baekje, Silla is not a fool after all, no matter how the Great Sui does not contribute, it is impossible for them to fight to the death with the Goguryeo. Once the Great Sui limited the Goguryeo cavalry, in terms of foot soldiers, the strength of the combined forces of the two countries should have a clear advantage, otherwise the Baekje and Silla alliances would not have competed with Goguryeo for hundreds of years.

"Yu Zhongwen, Li Hun, and Xue Shixiong listen to the order."

"The minister is here!"

"I will lead 10,000 forbidden troops and 5,000 government soldiers to form three armies, and when Silla and Baekje have crossed the river, they will immediately cross the river, stand with the combined forces of the two countries, release scouts, and cut off the connection between the Goguryeo army and the rear, remember, your task is the cavalry of Goguryeo, and the Goguryeo infantry will be handed over to Silla and the Baekje coalition army to deal with."

"The ministers obey."

"Zhou Fashang, Zhou Luoyu listens to the order!"

"The minister is here!"

"I ordered the two to lead the naval army as the back road, and prepare the army to respond."

"The ministers obey."

After receiving the will, Yu Zhongwen couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, nearly 50,000 horses have been dispatched, do you use a knife to kill chickens?" ”

Yang Yong saw that Yu Zhongwen was confused, and explained: "50,000 horses is to ensure that the losses of our army are minimized, not to mention, you are not only facing the Goguryeo, but you must also be prepared to turn against the coalition forces at any time." ”

Yu Zhongwen was slightly shocked when he heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, he was relieved, the Great Sui calculated the Three Kingdoms, and he didn't know if the Three Kingdoms would calculate the Great Sui, but the Great Sui had just clouded the coalition forces of the two countries, so that they landed unprepared as soon as they arrived on the battlefield and fought a bad battle, if Baekje and Silla regretted it afterwards, they would not have contacted Goguryeo.

In order to prevent another surprise attack by Goguryeo, the coalition army adopted the method of landing while building a camp, plus cleaning the battlefield and drowning the dead bodies, which was supposed to wait for a day's landing time, but when it was almost dark, only 60,000 people landed, and the coalition army had to stop the landing, and the remaining 30,000 people stayed on the ship for the night, and the Sui army followed behind, so naturally there was no way to land.

In the Baekje camp, everywhere the bonfire, the commander Hei Tooth Xinfu had just had dinner and was about to go out to check the sentry, when a personal soldier suddenly came to report: "Dashuai, Princess Seondeok, the commander of Silla, is visiting." ”

"What is she doing here?" Hei Tooth Xinfu couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, although Baekje and Silla formed an alliance, they would not be close to each other, and the camps were also stationed separately, and the commanders of the two countries would find a middle place to talk to each other when they had something to discuss, and rarely go directly to the military camp of the other country to discuss matters, otherwise it was very likely that the allies would immediately become enemies and turn their faces ruthlessly.

"Please!" Hei Tooth Xinfu was stunned for a moment and reacted, and couldn't help but suspect in his heart, could it be that the guards made a mistake and sent someone to Princess Seondeok, saying that Princess Seondeok was here.

After a while, a tall woman wrapped in armor walked over, led by the guards, and the black-toothed Xinfu had met Princess Seondeok several times, and although the torches flickered and flickered, he still recognized at a glance that it was indeed Princess Seondeok herself.

"It turns out that it is really Her Royal Highness the Princess, and she is handsome and polite." Princess Shandeok has a gorgeous appearance, her hands are longer than her knees, and she is heroic against the backdrop of her armor, although the black-toothed Xinfu has already married a wife and had children, and she can't help but fantasize about such a beautiful woman suddenly coming to her military camp, could it be that the other party has taken a fancy to herself?

The current king of Silla has no sons, only two daughters under his knees, the eldest daughter is Princess Seondeok, the second daughter is Princess Jindeok, Princess Seondeok can join the army from the age of thirteen, although she is a woman, but she is brave and good at fighting, and she is deeply respected by her subordinates, and it is almost a foregone conclusion to become the first queen in the history of Silla.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Hei Tooth Xinfu's heart couldn't help but heat up, although the Black Tooth family is a family of Baekje's generals, but where can it compare to the princess of Silla, he immediately straightened his chest and wanted to show his most perfect side in front of Princess Seondeok.
