When Chen Ling and the others stood up to thank him, Lu Yanqing pointed to a box in the corner of the wall and said: "General, that is the account book of the previous three years, the king of Yue has ordered, and he will not want the money he invested in the water division, if the two years of tax package still can't clean up the accounts, the government hall will continue to consider other ways." King Yue has only one request, to capture Liaodong and Pyongyang one day, and I hope you can invite him to visit Changbai Mountain. ”

Even if Chen Ling is a general, he also knows that Lu Yanqing's identity as the head of the five-surnamed Qiwang family is not comparable to himself, and Wuzhong County is the territory of the Lu family, Lu Yanqing's words cannot be listened to as a joke, and he smiled happily: "Xia Guan understands the wishes of King Yue, but the navy is not good at administration, and the affairs of Wuzhong County are still handled by the original people, so I will leave twenty people here to recruit and buy, and all the news will be heard." ”

Lu Yanqing secretly praised it, no wonder Yang Chong finally chose Chen Ling and did not let Du Fuwei interfere in the navy, Chen Ling knew how to advance and retreat, and put his position very right. Cui Minshou immediately said: "That's Lu Yan, everyone else has been sent out, Lord Lu, I hope to help you in the future." ”

Lu Yanqing was very satisfied with the ending handed over to the Lu family by Wuzhong County, and said: "Don't worry, there is something wrong in this matter, and only the subordinate officials are asking." ”

Everyone laughed, Yang Chong put down his wine glass, and asked Zhang Jinshu: "Once the climate in Liaodong turns cold, the grass is dry and the water is frozen, and it is difficult for the army and war horses to march, will the Goguryeo people launch an attack?" ”

Zhang Jinshu had been a horse thief in Liaodong for six years when he was a teenager, and he was familiar with the climatic conditions there, and replied respectfully: "King Yue, rest assured, Marshal Xu has been preparing for two years in this regard, except for the army in the cold winter field training, all the materials are fully prepared, the army itself has grain and grass, and has also captured 100,000 stone grain and grass and 20,000 livestock, which should be able to survive the winter safely." When Goguryeo attacked, it would definitely not be possible to attack the city in the ice and snow, and relying on the march to carry, the food would take up to ten to fifteen days, and Xuansu County should be worry-free. The most likely outbreak of the Great War is in the following month, and before the snow falls, Goguryeo is likely to fight for its life. ”

Shi Daqian said disdainfully: "Deng Tingshi has already led a large army to go, and Goguryeo is here to find death." ”

Longshan, sixty miles northeast of Houcheng, became the battlefield of the decisive battle between the Great Sui and Goguryeo, for this battle, Goguryeo even forcibly forced the Horn Room Department to send 6,000 cavalry to the south, Gao Yanshou and Gai Suwen gathered a total of 20,000 cavalry and 45,000 infantry troops to attack Houcheng, and took the lead and lined up according to the mountain.

Xu Shiji left Deng Wei to defend the city, ordered Guo Qing and Yang Yanshi to lead an army of 16,000 people to set up a formation in Xiling, and Qin Qiong and Su Dingfang, who were ambushed in the suburbs, led 10,000 elite soldiers as surprise soldiers. Xu Shiji personally led 4,000 elite soldiers, carrying drums and horns and banners to climb the mountain, and ordered all armies to attack together when they heard the sound of drums and horns.

Gao Yanshou saw Xu Shiji's formation, and ordered Gai Suwen to lead 30,000 horse infantry troops to attack, Gai Suwen saw that the wind was blowing towards the Sui army, and expected that the other party would not be able to raise the hateful airship, commanding 8,000 Goguryeo cavalry and 20,000 infantry, and rushed to the Sui army's position with murderous spirit. But Gai Suwen didn't know that he was facing the Hubu battalion, and the best thing he was at was positional warfare, and the 6,000 infantry army would not be at a disadvantage in the face of tens of thousands of cavalry.

Six hundred paces, one hundred and fifty bed crossbows shot iron arrows through the bodies of more than four hundred horsemen; Four hundred and fifty paces, the Sui army's 800 hard crossbows were within the effective range, and by the time the Goguryeo cavalry was able to fight back, more than 1,000 horsemen had fallen under their horses. However, Gai Suwen found that starting with 350 steps was Goguryeo's nightmare; The density of arrows of the Hexi army reached tens of thousands in an instant, and after three volleys, the cavalry on Goguryeo horses was finally able to enter the sprint distance, but it was already less than 3,000 people.

It was these three thousand horsemen, after entering a hundred steps, they still encountered a sniper with a thunderbolt, and thousands of people fell in the continuous explosions, even Gai Suwen, who was rushing to the front, was almost thrown off his horse by a huge wave of air. In the smoke of gunpowder, the 1,000 heavy infantry of the Sui army had already wielded a hundred swords to kill, and the cavalry of Goguryeo was caught off guard, even if the formation was adjusted, it was difficult to break through the defense line of the Bai Dao soldiers.

The six thousand cavalry were reimbursed in this way, Gai Suwen felt the sweat soaked behind his back, if the eight thousand cavalry died in the hands of the infantry army, the battle of Goguryeo would not have to be fought, and the low morale would make the army completely ineffective. There was a noise from the position on the side of the mountain, followed by a shocking explosion, and the two generals desperately protected Gai Suwen from the circle of fighting, and Gai Suwen had a chance to look back.

I saw that twenty airships were floating out of the valley, bombarding the army commanded by Gao Yanshou, and the valley was dusty, and I don't know how many Sui troops came out; At this moment, the sound of war drums came from the side mountain, and the Sui army on the front and the Sui army on the mountain were killed separately. Gaisu is civilized, whether he can defeat the Sui army is in his own hands, no matter how many Gao Yanshou's troops are, under the bombardment of that kind of airship, it can only be said that it is a matter of how long they will last.

Gai Suwen screamed and commanded the army to pounce up, and soon found that his team was powerless, and the other party was 10,000 cavalry in addition to a thousand sword soldiers; And the cavalry of Goguryeo was still fighting with the Baidao soldiers, and the infantry army was under the impact of the Sui army's iron cavalry, which can only be described as miserable. The fighting power and will of the Jin Ya infantry were originally inferior to the Goguryeo warriors, and they soon lost their fighting spirit and retreated under the clamor and advance attack of the Sui army.

Qin Qiong rode a Qinghai yellow horse, holding a horse lance, carrying a copper mace, commanding the cavalry to rush back and forth. Su Dingfang was dressed in white, brandishing a halberd and a double bow at his waist, and a group of teenagers in Chang Jieying's camp shouted wildly, and went directly to Gao Yanshou's banner. The 12,000 Goguryeo cavalry around Gao Yanshou had been blown up by the thunder, and they were powerless to resist the Changjie battalion, and the Goguryeo army collapsed at the moment when Gao Yanshou's banner was shot down by Su Dingfang.

The cavalry of the Chambers were the first to flee the battlefield, and when the tribe was at stake, they came to participate in the battle just to see if Goguryeo could defeat the Great Sui; Gai Suwen, who was still struggling to support, heard the shouts of the tsunami in the Sui Army Mountain behind him, looked back and couldn't see Gao Yanshou's banner, knew that the general trend had gone, and ordered the whole army to retreat. However, the infantry did not have an advantage when retreating, and could not establish an effective rear at all, so the Sui army pursued and killed for thirty miles, killed 20,000 heads, captured more than 10,000 people, captured 4,000 war horses, and carried countless weapons and baggage.
