Chapter 1106 - Overwhelming

Zhou Fashang sighed and shook his head: "General Wang, I have a bad premonition, the marshal may suffer, now I'm going to the rear army, I still trouble you to take care of it here, and answer the marshal." ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Don't worry." ”

Watching Zhou Fashang step down from the general's platform and run in the other direction with his son Zhou Shaofan and a few generals, Wang Shichong shook his head, sighed softly, and stood beside him, dressed as a personal soldier, Wei Zheng, who was dressed in leather armor, frowned tightly, and said softly: "Lord, the discord between the two main generals of Laihu'er and Zhou Fashang is already obvious, I'm afraid you have to plan early." ”

Wang Shichong smiled bitterly: "What are you going to do?" Goguryeo's obvious plan to lure the enemy, how could Lai Hu'er not see it? But his confidence is too much now, every word Zhou Fashang said he thinks is ulterior motives, and he wants to come in the opposite way, my 20,000 infantry was also deliberately ordered to stay behind to guard the camp by the sea, at this time, even if I want to help, I can't help. ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "Yes, the front army that came to Hu'er this time is his own descendant troops, and for fear of the meritorious service of the lord and Zhou Fashang's department, he left your troops behind, so winning or losing is a matter of coming to Hu'er alone, the lord might as well order the thousands of old and weak who are staying here now to prepare to take care of Lai'er." ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "I hope we are just thinking nonsense, and I hope that Laihu'er will not be carried away by the desire to win, and all the main forces of the army will be buried here." Order, take local materials, spread more flags, and pick up branches and leaves in the forest. Dragged on the tail of those mules and horses. Be prepared to do what I call the shots! ”

Two hours later. Lai Hu'er sat on a tall horse, triumphantly looking at the three Goguryeo army camps three miles ahead, which had already ignited a raging fire, and the tide-like Goguryeo defeated soldiers rushed to the fortress on the top of the mountain, and the corpses filled both sides of the mountain road, and those horses and antlers that were originally used to block the Sui army attacking the mountain were swept to the side of the road by the Goguryeo routs themselves. Thrown down the mountain, the entire mountain road was full of fleeing Goguryeo soldiers, and the defenders of the fortress on the top of the mountain had also fallen into chaos.

A few neighing sounds came, and the high head of the horsetail fluttered in the wind, in a pile of copper helmets and iron guards, it was particularly eye-catching, and it was black and shiny before the expedition. The hair, which was full of youthful energy, was now stained with blood. This made Lai Cheng look more like a man on the battlefield, and he took more than fifty personal soldiers and knights to gallop back from the front like lightning, and soon arrived in front of Laihu'er.

Laihu'er's favorite, but also the most beloved, is this sixth son to rectify, not only brave, martial arts above himself back then, and there is a general's talent, on the march of the battle, commanding thousands of troops and horses, is also the same, just now in the offensive operation, because there is no Zhou Fashang and Wang Shichong, the two high-level military attachΓ©s, Laihu'er simply let Laihuer have full authority to command the attack of the front army, and in less than two hours, Goguryeo's three large battalions were successfully captured, killing more than 5,000 enemy troops, And all the living fled to the mountains crying and crying.

Lai Hu'er glanced at the banner of the Sui army raised in the enemy camp, and a trace of imperceptible joy flashed in his eyes, but he still had a straight face, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, the order given to you by this commander is to capture the camp and annihilate the enemy army, why do you want to indulge the enemy army to flee instead of pursuing?" ”

Lai Cheng smiled slightly, pointed to the enemy army on the mountain road, and said: "Father, the goal of your battle this time is not for the three enemy camps at the foot of the mountain, but to take the Lianshan Fort and occupy the highest point outside Pyongyang, so the child is also thinking about using the escape of the defeated soldiers, let them rush up the mountain road, help us step on those trenches, remove those barricades, destroy those organs, and finally disrupt the defenders, so that they can not defend according to the danger, at this time, our army will be able to conquer it in one fell swoop!" ”

A smile flashed on Laihu'er's face, and he nodded: "Well, your idea is good, so in today's battle, you used cavalry to outflank the two flanks at the beginning, cut off the enemy's retreat to the city, and then stormed Dazhai, so that the enemy could only flee to the mountain, is it just to implement this tactic?" ”

Lai Cheng smiled and nodded: "Exactly, father, now this tactic has been successful, half of the enemy army has been killed, and the rest have all fled up the mountain, although the mountain fort on the top of the mountain is steep, but it can't accommodate so many people, and the enemy army on the top of the mountain witnessed that our army only took more than an hour to conquer three large battalions, and they were already frightened, and now they are rushing to the defeated army, and our army will not be exhausted, as long as they make a formation and attack, they can be frightened to flee down the mountain and flee to the city." ”

Lai Hu'er smiled: "You have kept the passage leading to the city gate behind the mountain, just to let these defenders on the mountain escape into the city?" ”

Lai Cheng put away his smile and nodded: "Yes, the walls of Pyongyang City are strong, and the moat is very deep, even if our army captures Lianshan Fort, if you want to storm Pyongyang City, you will have to pay a great price, if you can take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold and panic, defeat the defenders outside the city, let them flee to the city, if the enemy puts down the drawbridge and lets the defeated soldiers enter the city, then we will send cavalry to rush in, cut the pass and seize the bridge, and the infantry will follow, as long as the army enters the city, Pyongyang will be broken!" ”

Laihu'er laughed: "Then what if the enemy army can also see through your strategy and not let them defeat and enter the city?" ”

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Laicheng's eyes: "Then these more than 10,000 people can just use their corpses to fill the moat of this Pyongyang city, and it will also save a big trouble when our army attacks the city in the future." Moreover, these soldiers escaped from the coastal camp a few days ago, look at the banner, and now the defenders on the city wall are also these people, all of them are farmers recruited from neighboring villages and towns, and they are usually related to their hometowns, and even if the officers in the city give an order not to open the city, as long as one or two soldiers take care of this hometown, open the city gate, and put down the drawbridge to save people, it will give us a chance. ”

Lai Hu'er nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, very good, Liulang, I didn't misread you, this time your performance makes me very satisfied, if it is really because of your strategy, you directly take Pyongyang, and the father will definitely mention that this is your plan in the battle report to the Supreme." ”

At this moment, the two pro-soldiers who had been observing excitedly shouted: "Marshal, the enemy troops on the top of the mountain have begun to flee and are fleeing in the direction of the city gate!" (To be continued......)
