But Ezhi Wende did not expect that the tactics of the Sui army had changed, bringing so many new methods, after the Sui army besieged the city, they put a day of fat water before dropping explosives, and when the thunder exploded the next day, countless torches fell from the sky, and the city of Wuxian became a sea of fire, a real hell. Ulji Mundeok rushed out of the residence, only to see howling everywhere, the house collapsed in the flames, and a Goguryeo warrior was reduced to a cold corpse, and the unbridled war horse fled through the city with the flames.

Ulzhi Wende looked at the fire in the sky, his heart was like a knife, and he suddenly sent Goguryeo to the point of no return. originally thought that the opponent had limited thunder, and the siege might not be superior, so it was a big deal to die a little more; Who knows that everything is a trap, according to the ability of the Great Sui, no city can hold it. Now the Sui army is still outside the city, the military camp in the city has been bombed, and the Goguryeo soldiers are running around like headless flies, which has already brought out the darkest side of human nature, which is not at all like the army, and will commit murder when it encounters those who stand in the way.

This is the conspiracy of the Great Sui, Wuxian City is a small city, although it can accommodate 50,000 troops, but with food and grass materials, the whole city is full, and there is not much space at all, which causes people and animals to have nowhere to hide when they encounter this kind of attack, and there is nowhere to escape. The Sui army still did not begin to attack the city, and the Goguryeo army that originally wanted to be consumed at the head of the city had no chance to be used at all, and it became a lamb waiting to be slaughtered; Seeing the Sui army's airships unhurriedly bombarding the crowded soldiers at the head of the city, Yizhi Wende tiredly ordered: "Open the city gate and let the brothers out of the city." ”

Yizhi Wende is strict with military discipline, has been in charge of the army for decades, pays the most attention to the dignity and inferiority, and has never said anything similar to a brother in the army, and the left and right entourages did not react at once. Eulzhi Wende shouted: "Didn't you hear, open the city gate, these are all our people of Goguryeo, escaping is better than killing each other, you take the lead and go, leaving the green mountains without worrying about no firewood." ”

The generals suddenly came to their senses, knelt down together and persuaded Ulzhi Wende to go with him, and Ulzhi Wende said with a wry smile: "General Ma Leather shroud, for the sake of my life fighting for Goguryeo, leave me a little dignity." Besides, as long as I am in the city, you will have no hope of escaping, and if I take the lead in breaking through the siege, I am afraid that not one of the 50,000 people will be able to escape. ”

Everyone knew that this was the matter, and they kowtowed to Ezhi Wende, got up with tears, and commanded some soldiers who could still obey orders to push open the city gate, put down the drawbridge to escape, and tens of thousands of unassertive defeated troops saw the city gate open in all directions, and immediately squeezed out of the city gate. On the field, the cavalry of the Great Sui was already waiting, and when they saw this, they immediately began to pursue, and at dusk, only 3,000 of the 50,000 Goguryeo troops escaped, 12,000 were captured, and Eulzhi Wende committed suicide and martyrdom in the city.

Gao Yanshou encountered a rout on the way to reinforcements, asked about the situation, immediately ordered to withdraw to Liaodong City, and sent people to inform the defenders in various parts of Houcheng; Although Gao Yanshou is impatient, he is indeed a good hand in war, and he knows that even Yizhi Wende has been defeated, so what kind of green onion is he. Eulji Wendeok is known as the god of war in Goguryeo, once the death is confirmed, the blow to Goguryeo is fatal, if the soldier is in a state of madness, regardless of his life to send to death, it is the wish of the Sui people, Gao Yanshou must prevent this from happening.

The head of Yizhi Wende was sent to Yingzhou, and the news of Wuxian City immediately dispersed, and the Tiele coalition army led by Xue Yantuo fled north overnight; Bu Lishe and Zhao Deyan escaped from the Lightning River with more than 2,000 horses under the water of Tuli. Gai Suwen made the same choice as Gao Yanshou, and the Goguryeo army that collected the cities retreated to the south of Liaoshui, and the territory of the Heishui Governor's Mansion and the Xuansu County of the Great Sui was restored successively, and after less than a year, the Sui army once again occupied the north of Liaoshui.

Beimurwei, Xiguo and others successively sent envoys to Zhuojun Jin to see, they are not the people of Mobei, and fleeing to Mobei is also the fate of being annexed by the Tiele people, it is better to have a good relationship with the suzerain. However, Yang Chong didn't see them, but just asked people to place the envoys in the post house, and entertained them with good food and drink, and Yang Chong was waiting for the news of Dali City.

After Yujuluo arrived in Taiyuan, Li Jing, the marshal of the Northwest March, Liang De, the commander of the Fengzhou Assassin Army, Han Shige, the head of the Dingxiang Road March, Song Jingang, the commander of the Daizhou Assassin Army, and Yang Ze, the commander of the Yinchuan Road March, led more than 100,000 troops and attacked the Turks in separate ways. Li Jing's main force set out from Mayi County, quietly passed through the fifteen cities, and suddenly appeared in the Evil Yang Ridge; The 90,000 allied troops of Qi Jishe were attacking Yanmen County with all their might, and less than 10,000 people were left around.

Kang Sumi came from Dali City again to send a false order, saying that Jieli Khan had lost in Taiyuan, and asked the whole army to withdraw. The nine soldiers who were fighting in Yanmen County, Ashina Hubo took the lead in surrendering, and the 80,000-strong army disappeared in less than five days, with as many as 50,000 people surrendering, and the rest fled from Baidaoxi and retreated to Tieshan.

Ashina Hubo is of the same clan as Jieli, and he knows that the so-called 90,000 coalition army is not only a newly recruited army, but also lacks half of its weapons and equipment, so it can't hold on to Song Jingang. And Ashina Hubo himself has long been Duhu's business partner, this time Duhu Hubo wrote a letter saying that he was appointed as the governor of Yunzhong under the Yunzhong Metropolitan Protectorate, in charge of the Turks in this area, Ashina Hubo naturally can't miss the great opportunity.

Jieli Khan was furious when he learned of the situation, but the Kangsu Department also fled under Yang Ze's response, and Woye City was under the advance of the Yinchuan Dao army of the Great Sui, and the Dali City was attacked by the Sui army of Fengzhou, and the Jieli Khan could only retreat from Taiyuan and Dingxiang. Han Shige sent 10,000 horsemen to cross the city of Yulin, intercepted the retreating Turkic herdsmen, and withdrew with more than 16,000 cattle and sheep, but according to the pre-agreement, all the people were released back to Yulin City.

Jieli Khan immediately ordered the Golden Wolf Army to attack, but was stopped by An Wu: "Great Khan, this is a suspicious tactic, the task of this cavalry is to entangle our army, and wait for Li Jing and Song Jingang to kill from Yanmen, plus the surrender army, the other party has 100,000 people." Yulin City is where Yang Shanjing's imperial court is located, Yang Chong will definitely not attack, we might as well go back to Dali City first, transfer materials to Woye Town and Tieshan, as long as the army is in hand, what about avoiding the edge for the time being. ”

In addition to the Golden Wolf Army, Yu Sheshe, Yin Nai Special Service and other departments no longer had the intention of fighting to the death with the Great Sui, and they all began to move their clansmen and livestock treasures to Iron Mountain. The 50,000 Golden Wolf Army was unable to fight this battle at all, and when they met Bu Lishe and Zhao Deyan in Dali City, they learned that Yizhi Wende was killed in battle, and Jieli Khan did not squeak for a long time, and some were just glad that with the help of everyone, they immediately transferred the population and livestock to Woye Town.
