Chapter 61: Reinforcements Arrive
"The order, after the pontoon bridge was erected, Xue Maoxun led the Chaos Guard to the north along the Yalu River, sweeping the Tube Float, Gucheng, Jiami, and Gulin City; Gao Chongde led the Vermilion Bird Guard and the Pingyi Army to take Liaozhu, Baima, Keel, Xilin, and Donglin Zhucheng in the south.

Li Yu originally wanted to order Gao Chongde to simply lead the army to the city of Humili, but when he looked at the map, the city was two hundred miles away from Yalushui, and the six thousand soldiers and horses were simply alone. The Goguryeo army could no longer fight, but the tens of thousands of sieges were not something that thousands of Tang troops could parry. In the end, after Gao Chongde swept the Goguryeo army in the cities north of Jianshan, he waited for the main army under Donglin City.
Goguryeo was in a hurry in the northern cities for a while, and asked Pyongyang for help with wave after wave of messengers, but before Pyongyang could reply to the news, it was taken down by a charge of the attacking Tang army.
The northern cities of the city belong to small cities, and the city walls are only four or five meters high, where can they stop the Tang army like wolves and tigers.
Ignoring Jian Mou Cen's opposition, An Shun immediately ordered the reduction of troops to humiliate Pyongyang and hold on. Jian Mu Cen is very angry, and it is good to shrink his troops, but what is the matter of holding on? At this time, it is right to take the Tang army to cross the river and lead the army to meet the attack.
In the main hall of the Pyongyang royal palace, Jian Mou Cen and An Shun quarreled loudly about the disagreement over the Tang battle plan in front of the civil and military officials, and finally Jian Mu Cen threw off his sleeves and left angrily. Ling An Shun's face turned red, and he held his breath and didn't send it, sitting on the throne in a daze, looking at the back of Jian Mu Cen leaving.
"Ahn Jae-heung sent an envoy to Silla and asked the king of Silla to send troops to support." An Shun left the throne with an ugly face after dropping a sentence.
The ministers looked at each other left and right, sighed and said: The king and the ministers quarrel in the hall, this king is still the king? Is a minister still a minister?
After the passage of the army on the south bank of Yalushui from the pontoon bridge, the offensive of the Tang Army on the two routes progressed smoothly. But the two armies in the upper reaches of the Yalushui Pill Capital and the domestic city are holding each other, and they can't help each other.
Li Shangdan had to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops at this time, and the two armies of the siege of the city and the two armies of Dangdi retreated one after another as if they had been amnestied. The Goguryeo defenders in the city once again raised their weapons and cheered at the retreating Tang army, and they once again repelled the fierce attack of the Tang army.
Gao Yanwu in the city breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Shangdan in the city sighed, and led the army back to the camp lonely.
Hundreds of corpses were once again dropped in the lower city of China, most of them the bones of the Tang army, and the death toll of the two siege sides under the city a few days ago reached 2,000.
The entire Tang army was dejected, and it had long lived up to the high morale of the day when it set out on the expedition.
"Mattress, the morale of the Tang army is low, if our army goes out of the city and attacks the camp tonight, it will win a big victory." The way of the pawn made Omuro Cheng ask for his life.
"No, the Tang army can't wait for our army to abandon the fortified city and fight with it, have you forgotten the battle outside the city four days ago so quickly?" Gao Yanwu glanced at Omuro Cheng coldly, and his dissatisfaction and anger hung on his face, if it weren't for the generals' intercession, he would have beheaded this waste. When I went out of the city, I lost more than 6,000 soldiers and horses, and only 200 of the 1,000 baby pimple cavalry fled back, so that there were less than 3,000 cavalry in the city.
Every time he thought of this, Gao Yanwu had the urge to kill him.
Omuro Cheng glanced at Gao Yanwu, there was a murderous aura in his eyes, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and in a panic, he knelt on his knees and kowtowed to the ground: "The last general is incompetent, and he doesn't know that the mattress is far-sighted." Gao Yanwu snorted coldly, "You, the general of the defeated army, still want to go to the night attack?" Are you a fool like you when Tang Jun? ”
Omuro slammed his head on the ground even harder, and even trembled and begged for mercy, and his forehead was bloody. Knowing that the defeat four days ago made Gao Yanwu kill him, fortunately, he had a wide range of friends, and the generals interceded to save this small life, and was demoted to Roda for meritorious service. But Gao Yanwu has hated himself deeply since then, and every time he sees himself, his eyes are full of a fierce murderous aura, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not find an oil head to kill himself.
Seeing that Omuro Cheng's head was broken, he was frightened since the defeat, afraid that his eldest brother would behead him in a moment of anger. Gao Yanxing, who had a good personal relationship with Omuro, couldn't stand it a little, and said: "Didn't the Maru Capital City attack the Tang Army in the north of the city at night two days ago? In the great victory, the Tang army suffered thousands of casualties and almost collapsed. Now, when the Tang army has suffered heavy casualties and morale is low after several days of continuous attack, General Omuro Nari suggests that a night attack is not impossible! ”
When his younger brother spoke, Gao Yanwu's face softened and replied: "The Pill Capital City has been used once, and the Tang Army has strengthened its vigilance every night since then, and the night attack cannot achieve the effect of the night attack outside the Pill Capital City two days ago. And the terrain around the domestic city and the city of Marudu is different, in addition to the danger around the south gate of Marudu, the Tang army is stationed in the open area east of Marudu, and it is very good to attack at night from the mountains and forests to the north. However, in addition to the west of the city, the terrain is open on three sides, there are two rivers blocking it, there is no mountain forest cover, and it is under the surveillance of the Tang army on three sides, and our army will be discovered by the Tang army as soon as it leaves the city. The Tang army in the south is stationed on the bank of Tonggou HN, there is only a wooden bridge they built themselves, guarded by heavy troops, the river rises and cannot wade across the river, how can we launch a night attack as unexpectedly as Marudu City. ”
Gao Yanxing sighed for no reason, and closed his plan to go out of the city for a night attack.
"Ahh
Gao Yanxing's eyelids jumped, and when Gao Yanwu left, he kicked the kneeling room into the air, and scolded angrily: "This waste led 7,000 soldiers out of the city to fight, almost all the troops were wiped out and came back, why didn't he die outside the city like Fu Yansheng?" Originally, the army was sufficient, but after this defeat, I couldn't afford to lose again, and my plan to harm me became an ornament. ”
After Gao Yanwu left, Gao Yanxing picked up Omuro Cheng who fell to the ground and said with a bloody face: "My brother is angry, Omuro-kun will go back to the house to recuperate for a few days, and don't appear in front of my brother for the time being when I don't call you." ”
"Thank you Yan Xingjun!" Omuro wiped the blood from his face next to his miserable face, and returned to his mansion in the domestic city in despair. I went back to my room and closed the door, sat quietly on the bed, and sat quietly for a day and a night.
"General, the reinforcements sent by His Highness have arrived."
"Reinforcements have arrived!" Li Shangdan got up from his couch excitedly, and rushed out of the barracks to the gate of the camp in a few steps.
"Hahaha, Li Dayang, I heard in Bozhuo City that you didn't fight well in this battle! You need my brother to help you! ”
The generals at the gate of the camp hadn't seen people clearly, but the sound of laughter came.
Li Shangdan, Qi Biguang, and Liu Tao were stunned, "Damn, it's Liu Shijiang." ”
"Haha, Li Dayang, Qi Eryang, Liu Dayang, look at your stupidity, do the three Dayang Eryang miss our three brothers?"
"Damn, it's the three boys of the Wei Chi family!" The three of them scolded in unison.
When the reinforcements walked into the camp gate, under the torches of the two armies that almost illuminated the valley, the Tang army in the camp saw so many reinforcements, and all of them excitedly shouted "Long live the Tang Dynasty!" ”
It was the Flying Tiger Army led by Liu Shijiang, and behind it was the Zhendong Army led by the three brothers, Wei Chi Xunyu, Wei Chi Xunyu, and Wei Chi Xunyan.
The two armies were originally participating in Li Yu's main army to go south to capture Pyongyang, but the two cities of China and Marudu were delayed and there was a risk of defeat, so they sent Liu Shijiang as the commander to lead the two armies to help.
