Xue Boren sat on the horse and quietly watched the performance of his two favorite generals.

This time, he was ordered by Chang Miao to advance to the south bank of the Yalu River. Of course, it was not only the Huwei battalion that crossed the river, but nearly 50,000 soldiers advanced towards the south bank of the Yalu River in ten sections. These ten landing sites were all carefully selected, most of them were used as feint troops, and the spearhead of the real attack was the attack on the eastern section of the city of Yiju commanded by Su Chengdong. From there, the attack could lead directly to the western road of Pyongan Province in Goryeo, and then advance along the coast, all the way to Pyongyang.

However, it was not easy to conceal this strategic intention, and in order to relieve the pressure on the main direction of attack, the remaining nine attack areas were called feints, but the actual combat tasks were even heavier than those in the main direction of attack -- only when the feints were fought hard could they really attract the attention of the Goryeo army.

And among these nine feint troops, the most arduous task is the Tiger Guard Battalion led by Xue Boren and the 5,000 people of Gai Yanxiao. Their crossing of the river is located thirty miles west of the domestic city, the terrain of this place is quite complicated, and the hydrological conditions are not very good, without the cooperation of Zheng Menglong's sailors, crossing the river will be a disaster. And their mission was not only to cross the Yalu River and inflict a large number of casualties on the Goryeo army, but also to create the illusion of completely cutting off the retreat of the city from both waterways. At the same time, Chang Miao was also worried that Li Chenghui in the domestic city might ignore his own besieging army and choose to break through and directly attack this river-crossing force, so Xue Boren led the army to the palace and asked Gai Yanxiao to take Gao Dingbian and Wang Hanxin to attack.

Across the Yalu River, Xue Boren looked at the battle situation ahead. So far, so good. Despite the desperate resistance of the Goryeo army, the formation was shattered by the catapults and ballistae of Jeong's Mengryong sailors. It was simply impossible to launch an effective counterattack against the landing force. On the other hand, under the leadership of Gao Dingbian and Wang Hanxin, their own troops entered the Goryeo army like hungry tigers. The bravery of the two young generals has already gained a certain reputation in both the army of the Silk Country and the Goryeo army, and with the rapid advancement of the two. The morale of their own soldiers was high, while the Goryeo army was losing ground one after another. The brave Gai Yanxiao has almost no chance to play. On the contrary, he sat in the rear and commanded the overall situation.

Xue Boren smiled secretly in his heart: Gai Yanxiao likes to take the lead all his life, and today is an unprecedented way for the two little guys to steal the limelight. However, these two little guys are indeed extraordinary, and their strength has surpassed Gai Yanxiao. Especially after this period of recuperation, Wang Hanxin's martial arts have improved a lot, it is really hard to imagine how strong this kid would be today if he followed him to practice martial arts since he was a child and fought on the battlefield.

The battle in front was advancing smoothly, but Xue Boren, who was in the rear, was not at all easier than the three people fighting in front. The spies went back and forth like a marquee, reporting to him the situation in and around the city at any time and at any time. Xue Boren twisted his beard and thought to himself: It stands to reason that Li Chenghui, as the commander of Goryeo, will never be able to stay in the frontline of the domestic city by himself, no matter how strong this city is, as long as it is cut off from support, it will be a dead city. The reason why he chose to be here is probably a last resort. As for the reason, it is unknown. But now that our army has begun to cross the river and fight, and at the same time besiege the domestic city with heavy troops, Li Chenghui should not defend such a small place and give up his responsibility to lead the whole army. However, judging from the battle report, the current battle of crossing the river is going smoothly, but the strange thing is that the reaction of the Goryeo army on the south bank is surprisingly consistent, but the Goryeo army in the domestic city is obviously different from them, what is this for? Could it be that Li Chenghui still has some hidden conspiracy?

Xue Boren is not a person who will underestimate his opponent, but this time he did overestimate his opponent. It's not that Li Chenghui doesn't want to link up with friendly forces, but he can't. The Goryeo army on the other side did not obey his original battle plan at all. Instead, they implemented another set of combat plans on their own. Of course, Li Chenghui understood that this plan was instructed by Ah Yizhi, but Xue Boren couldn't understand the mystery of this no matter what. In his mind, Li Chenghui, as a general, would definitely adopt a more active combat posture, and the incongruity shown by the entire army meant that there were other intentions. Therefore, Xue Boren never dared to send his troops to the south bank, but ambushed them on the left in case of emergency.

"Your Excellency. Our army has already occupied the south bank, will we send follow-up troops to expand the results of the battle? ”

"No need," Xue Boren changed his words after a slight hesitation, "It's okay." They sent 500 men across the river, but they had to make a big noise. In addition, inform the sailors and let their sailors go ashore together to build momentum. ”

"Yes. My lord. ”

Xue Boren thought that if he could deceive Li Chenghui's eyes by doing this, if he could lure him out, he would already be prepared here, and he could easily take the inner city. Sure enough, soon after, a messenger came that a Goryeo army had been killed in the city of the country, and it was coming all the way to this place!

The situation on the battlefield has changed so far.

It was expected that Li Chenghui would send troops to help, but to everyone's surprise, Li Chenghui's action was not just a simple rush, but a breakthrough action!

Faced with this situation, the poorly prepared siege troops on the Western Road could not react, and the Goryeo army was soon unable to resist and began to disperse. Li Chenghui did not pursue these troops at all, his goal was very clear, that is, to escape back to the south bank of the Yalu River!

This time, Chang Miao's plan went wrong, he and Xue Boren did not calculate that Li Chenghui's situation was so sinister, let alone that Li Chenghui had already chosen a section of the Yalu River for this escape plan and buried a large number of sandbags, as long as a layer of sandbags was added, it could be used for people and horses to swim across the Yalu River.

By the time Xue Boren reacted that things had changed, Li Chenghui's army vanguard had already appeared on the flank of Gai Yanxiao's troops on the opposite bank! At this time, Xue Boren's soldiers who were ambushed on the north bank were all in vain, and they could only watch their army fall into the siege of the Goryeo army on both sides across the Yalu River.
