Wang Shichong's lion Qingtianma, with a string of bells hanging from his neck, ran all the way, the horse bells rang, the brows of the wheat iron staff wrinkled, and he followed the prestige, and saw Wang Shichong wearing a military uniform, riding a horse, and the corners of his mouth were unconsciously hooked.

Wang Shichong ran to the front of the stage, turned over and dismounted, and a soldier who looked like a small colonel ran over, grabbed the horse's head, and said in a low voice: "General Wang, what's the matter, come here at this time?" ”

Wang Shichong fixed his eyes and saw that this person was Mai Tiecane's second son Mai Zhongcai, this time Mai Tiecane went to Goguryeo, and brought all three sons with him, the eldest Meng Cai, the second Zhongcai, and the third Jicai, all of them were in the army at this time, remembering that when he first went to Nanchen that year, he was also such a three brothers who went into battle together, Wang Shichong saw this familiar scene, and couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart, and forgot how to answer for a while.

Mai Zhongcai saw that Wang Shichong was a little distracted, and said again: "General Wang, what's the matter?" The little one is Mai Zhongcai, don't you remember? ”

Wang Shichong reacted at this time, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the second son of Mai, who was ordered by the Supreme to come and pass the decree, and quickly lead me to meet your father." ”

As soon as Mai Zhongcai saw the gold medal presented in Wang Shichong's hand, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led Wang Shichong to the future, only to see that Mai Tiechong was still sitting on the platform like a mountain, and he didn't even mean to get up at all, looking at Wang Shichong, and said in a deep voice: "General Wang, the big war is coming, you came here alone, but there is a holy will?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded, raised the gold medal in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The Holy Lord's edict, the general of Zuotunwei Mai Tiecane will receive the order." ”

Mai Tiezhu's face changed. Stand up. Get down on one knee. And many generals behind him also knelt on the ground, Wang Shichong said in a deep voice: "The Holy Lord's edict, the general of Zuotunwei, Mai Tiecane, supervises the front army, and forcibly crosses the Liaoshui, I am behind the soldiers of the whole army, supporting you and others." I also hope that the soldiers will fight hard to kill the enemy, raise the prestige of our country, and the first soldier to set foot on the other side of the Liao River, I will worship as the general of the five-grade eagle and give millions of money. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals behind Mai Tiezhu raised their heads, their faces were full of excitement, and their eyes were all lit with fierce fighting spirit.

Mai Tiezhu stood up expressionlessly, and said to the few heralds behind him: "Wait as soon as possible to convey Your Majesty's holy will to all armies, so that every soldier can hear it clearly." ”

A few heralds quickly answered the order. Ran off the platform and rode on a fast horse. While running, he loudly gave orders to the various phalanxes of the Sui army, and soon, as they ran through, there was a tsunami-like "long live" sound, and the soldiers on the front line also put the long lance in their hands, the big axe kept raising it in the sky, looking from a distance, it was like a sea of iron armor and a strong lance, rolling and surging wave after wave, and the enthusiasm of these soldiers burst out, with them stepping on the ground rhythmically with the shouting, it was enough to evaporate the entire Liao River in front of them.

Mai Tiezhu looked at the three-square military formation in front of him and re-erupted into high morale, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously evoked a trace of imperceptible smile, Wang Shichong walked to his side and said quietly: "Old Mai, it's all up to you this time, brother, I can only help you to this point." ”

Mai Tiezhu laughed: "Thank you, General Wang." He turned back to Fei Qingnu and said in a deep voice: "General Fei, now order, the stone cart will advance to a hundred steps by the Liao River, and twenty rounds of arrows and stones will attack!" ”

Fei Qingnu nodded, he knew that the morale was at the highest point at this time, and taking advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack would often get twice the result with half the effort, he took a few steps forward, raised the command flag high, shook it twice into the sky, and roared sharply: "Stone cart, advance the attack!" ”

The more than 200 stone machines of the Sui army began to move forward slowly under the pull and drag of dozens of shirtless warriors on the side of each one, these trebuchets all relied on huge, thick, and several strands of twisted animal tendons to support the strength arm, enough to throw a few catties of stones to a distance of three or four hundred paces, the reason why they stayed behind at the beginning of today was because they were afraid that Goguryeo's crossbow machines and trebuchets would also hit themselves, so they were placed behind the three army formations, about three hundred steps away from the river, and now that the attack order has been issued, More than 200 trebuchets began to move forward in unison, until fifty paces by the river was the place where these one-armed giants could exert their divine powers!

More than 200 catapults, like more than 200 small boats, rushed out of the passage in a sea of steel, and the Sui soldiers along the road got out of the way on both sides, leaving a passage about three or four zhang wide for these catapults, so that those shirtless warriors shouted the trumpet, dragging forward and pulling these siege machinery forward.

In the camp of Goguryeo, there was silence, all the archers were lowered, hidden behind the fence of Dazhai and the rejection of horses, the space of two or three hundred steps in the front row was full of dense archers, while Yuan Taizuo and Eokji Wende stood side by side on a high platform three miles away from the river, with four bright eyes, staring closely at the movements of the Sui army on the other side of the river.

Yizhi Wende shook his head: "It seems that the Sui army is about to attack, so many catapults, it is to cover the tens of thousands of Sui troops in front of the whole front, but the strange thing is that how can there not even be a small boat on this shore, what the hell are they doing?" ”

Yuan Taizuo sneered: "I'm afraid that they want to take advantage of the catapult attack, and then unexpectedly release the boat into the water, the hydrology of this Liao River, from now on, there is only two hours of time The current is slow, as long as they survive these two hours, they will not be able to pass." ”

Yizhi Wende smiled slightly: "But the Sui army has so many catapults, and we have so many archers in front of us, if we are hit, the casualties will be very large." ”

Yuan Taizuo smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, the distance is too far, their catapult throws a few catties of stones at most, our archers are protected by shield players, a few catties of small gravel blocks, how many people can't be killed, but if we are afraid of the dead and retreat the archers, then what kind of strong attack does the Sui army want to play, we won't have time to fight back." ”

Speaking of this, he frowned, and said to a herald soldier in the audience: "Pass my general order, 10,000 iron horsemen leave the camp now, bypass the rear of the big camp, and see that when I raise the flag, kill from between the middle camp and the left battalion of the right army, and attack the Sui army that has landed!" ”

The corners of Eulzhi Wende's mouth hooked: "General Yuan, today's battle will definitely be passed on forever in my Goguryeo history books." ”

Yuan Taizuo smiled slightly: "Then let's go down in history together!" (To be continued......)
