At the same time, the soldiers of the expeditionary force fell into a death situation on both sides of the Sashui River, and although they struggled hard, they could not escape the pursuit of death.

Fortunately, on the east bank of Sasu, the Middle-earth people finally ran ahead of the Goguryeos. On the morning of July 26, Wei Wensheng, the general of the Right Waiting Guard, led his troops to Yalushui, and immediately ordered 2,000 elites to cross the river with Hun Tu, seize the opposite Jinkou, and urgently ask for help from the Liaodong base camp with 100,000 troops.

On the morning of July 27, the Goguryeo army approached Yalushui.

The Goguryeo people ran too fast and were exhausted, while the Middle-earth people rested by the Yalu River for a day, especially Wu Benlang's Wang Rengong was deployed on a dangerous pass dozens of miles away from the Yalu Water, and the rest time was longer. Wang Rengong received the scout's report and attacked decisively. Although the Goguryeo people were prepared, they were not able to support themselves, and they were defeated in less than a moment of battle, when Wang Rengong personally led a hundred elite cavalry from the flank mountains and forests to kill, and the Goguryeo people were caught off guard, and the battle array quickly collapsed, and the army collapsed in a blink of an eye. The Middle-earthers then covered up, slashed a thousand ranks, and then withdrew to the pass.

When Wing Zhi Wende heard the news, he urged all the main forces to speed up, pounce on all fronts, and defeat the Middle-earth blocking army with thunder, and be sure to kill to the Yalu water before dusk on the 27th.

At noon, Wang Rengong's troops were fiercely attacked by the Goguryeo people, and they were in danger. At the critical moment, Tai Fuqing, General Wu Benlang of Zuo Yiwei, and Yang Yichen, Duke of Qin Xing, led their headquarters to arrive at the battlefield and gave Wang Rengong strong support.

In the afternoon, Eulzhi Wende personally came to the battlefield to command.

Almost at the same time, Yu Zhongwen led the main force of his headquarters into the battlefield and fought fiercely with the Goguryeo. Then Cui Hongsheng led his troops to arrive, although the Middle-earth army was also exhausted, but at the moment of life and death, they had no choice but to fight to the death. This battle could not be defeated in any case, and it was defeated, allowing the Goguryeo people to seize the Yalu Water Channel, and everyone was doomed, and the whole army was annihilated.

As night fell, Eulji Mundeok ordered the Goguryeo people to withdraw from the battle.

Now the people of Middle-earth are desperate, one by one, if they are crazy, they are all dead, and they have to pull a cushion when they die, and if they kill two, they will be earned, on the contrary, although the Goguryeo people have won the battle, defeated the strong with the weak, and their morale is like a rainbow, but because of this, they have lost the fighting spirit of fighting with death and fearlessness.

For the Goguryeo people, Middle-earth is invincible, whether it is to be a vassal of Middle-earth or to dominate the Far East, the ultimate goal of the Goguryeo people is to survive, all to reduce the threat to their own security from this powerful neighbor. There is a tiger like Middle-earth next to the coyote's couch, how do you let the coyote sleep soundly? So the coyotes formed an alliance with a large group of wild wolves, and as a result, the coyotes slept soundly, but the tigers felt threatened, so there was this war.

The outcome of this war was predictable, even if the Goguryeo people won the miracle, for the behemoth of Middle-earth, it was just a piece of meat bitten off by a coyote, a little painful, bleeding, and insignificant, but the coyote poured all his strength into biting this piece of meat, scarred, dying, and Goguryeo went bankrupt. After the end of this war, the Middle-earth people were still the overlords of the world, and the Goguryeo people could not even dominate the peninsula, not to mention dominating the Far East. Who doesn't want to be the boss of the Far East? Even if you don't want to be the boss, you have to be the second, right? In this case, of course, it is necessary to beat the water dogs.

Of course, the Goguryeo people don't want to go back to the pre-liberation overnight, so they must defeat the Middle-earth people and win this war, which is the premise of maintaining vested interests, but the Middle-earth country is strong, the territory is large, and there are many people, even if all these people are killed, it can't shake its roots, and in a blink of an eye, the Middle-earth people can bring in 300,000 troops to continue to attack Goguryeo, but because the two sides have formed a mortal enmity, if the Middle-earth people kill again, Goguryeo will not be in danger of destroying the country, but there will be a disaster of extinction, so killing can not solve the existential crisis of the Goguryeo people, The only way to solve the problem is to negotiate, find the common interests of both sides, and cooperate on the basis of common interests. Whether it is an alliance or a vassal, it is essentially a matter of balance of interests, and when the conflict of interests is resolved, the dispute is over, and the war will no longer exist.

War is always a continuation of the political problem and one of the means to solve the political problem, and the political problem is ultimately a matter of interests, how to redistribute interests, so the purpose of the Goguryeo people to win this war is only to grasp the initiative in the distribution of interests after the war, in order to maximize interests. This war almost destroyed Goguryeo and destroyed the Goguryeo people's dream of dominating the Far East, and even if the Goguryeo people won this battlefield, it would be impossible to recover their vitality in the short term, but the victor of the war should at least seize the greatest benefits from the losers, strive to recover their vitality and national strength in the shortest possible time, and continue to dominate the Far East.

The Goguryeo people themselves did not dare to hope to win this battle, and now that they have won the battle of Sasu, they have the possibility of winning this war, and they must grasp the great good form, and must not fall short because of wrong decision-making and turn the tables on the Middle-earth people. The immediate task of the Goguryeo people was whether the Goguryeo army would completely annihilate the Middle-earth army on the west bank of the Yalu River under the current situation, or should it besiege but not attack, and force the Middle-earth emperor to agree to his own conditions and recognize his own hegemony in the Far East on the condition of the lives of these Middle-earth people?

That night, Goguryeo King Gao Yuan rushed to the front line, and when he heard that Eulji Wende failed to occupy Yalu Water in front of the Middle-earth people and failed to complete the encirclement of the Middle-earth Expeditionary Force, his feelings were very complicated, with regrets and losses, and he was very heavy, but at the same time he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

What happens after the siege? There can be no more man-made floods, and the reinforcements of Middle-earth will soon appear on the opposite bank, and the besieged Middle-earth people will definitely swear to hold on to the death and fight against the water, if the Goguryeo army attacks, both sides will inevitably lose both, and after both defeats, what will the Goguryeo people do? The national strength is almost collapsing, there is not much left in the army, and the future days are not passing? But if you don't attack, you can only watch the Middle-earth army break through and leave, and the results of the previous victories in the two battles of Pyongyang and Sasu will come to naught, the Middle-earth people will occupy the west of the Yalu River, the war will continue, and Pyongyang will be attacked more fiercely by the Middle-earth people in the spring of next year, and Goguryeo may be destroyed.

Gao Yuan was at a loss, and after seeing Yizhi Wende, he directly asked for Yizhi Wende's opinion, what should I do next? Yizhi Wende only said one sentence, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of no firewood.

Gao Yuan comprehended. At the same time that the Middle-earth troops were pressing down on the border and the Goguryeo people were fortifying the wilderness, except for a few important towns left behind to contain the forces of the Middle-earthers, all the other troops, civilians and slaves retreated. For the weak, in the face of the attack of the strong, the only way out is to do their best to preserve their strength. As long as the population is there, the army is there, and the strength is still there, there will be a comeback and a comeback. The victory of the two battles of Pyongyang and Sasu had no substantive significance for the Goguryeo people, did not solve the fundamental problem, and could only be said to have achieved a partial victory on the local battlefield, which could neither stop the pace of the attack of the Middle-earth people nor end the war, so the Goguryeo people were still at a disadvantage, still defensive, and their defensive strategy could not be changed.

Gao Yuan sighed bitterly, and asked again, can the Middle-earth people be driven out of the country?

Yizhi Wende thought for a long, long time, and finally sighed: Stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of no firewood.

Gao Yuan turned around and left. Ulji Mundeok's meaning is very straightforward, it is already a miracle that the Goguryeo people were able to win the two battles of Pyongyang and Sasu, reverse the unfavorable situation of the war this year, drag the war until the second year, and buy Goguryeo a longer time to resist. The two sides are not opponents of the same level, and the weak one is lucky to hit the strong one with two punches, and he expects to hit the opponent's vital point and kill him with one blow, how is this possible? Stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, this is the survival of the Goguryeo people, take your time.

That night, the front headquarters of the Central Earth Expeditionary Force, Yu Zhongwen, Yuwenshu and Cui Hongsheng arrived at Yalu Shui, and joined Wei Wensheng's department, which arrived in advance, and about 130,000 troops of the Fourth Route Army, backed by Yalu Shui, lined up in battle formations, regardless of fatigue, dug trenches and ditches overnight, built fortresses, and planned to fight against the water and hold on until the arrival of reinforcements.

At this moment, if you escape by crossing the river with a very small number of Hun Tu, you can only destroy the morale of the army, and you can only give the heads of 130,000 soldiers to the Goguryeo people in vain, so the best way to survive is not to cross the river, but to hug yourself together, fight against the water, and would rather die in battle than be humiliated and steal your life, so as to boost morale, fight bloody battles with the Goguryeo people, and kill and injure the enemy to the greatest extent to maintain the dignity of the Middle-earth army, and at the same time give the 130,000 soldiers the greatest chance of survival.

On the 28th, the Goguryeo people launched an attack and besieged them on three sides, but the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and they did not devote all their troops, nor did they have the determination to fight for their lives to destroy the enemy. If the morale of the Middle-earth people is low, the morale of the army is weak, and the defense is weak, then launch a fierce offensive, tear apart the battle formation of the Middle-earth, destroy the morale of the Middle-earth, and deal a fatal blow to the Middle-earthers.

Gao Yuan shot the Middle-earth army and told Yu Zhongwen that the two sides could negotiate, but the premise was that the Middle-earth army must withdraw from the border of Goguryeo.

Yu Zhongwen ignored it.

Yizhi Wende also took the initiative to invite Yu Zhongwen to negotiate. Previously, when the Middle-earth army was advancing step by step and forcibly crossing the Sashui River, Yizhi Wende once gave a poem to Zhongwen, "God studies astronomy, calculates poor geography, defeats both high merits, and is content with wishes." "Advise Yu Zhongwen to stop in moderation, and accept it when he sees it. This time, he also presented this poem to Zhongwen, called persuasion, which is actually a mockery, and the meaning of "agitation" is more obvious.

Yu Zhongwen turned a deaf ear.

On the 29th, Li Jing, the general of the Right Guard, and He Chou, the general of the Shaofu Inspector and the General of the Right Tun Guard, arrived at Yalu Water, and the shape changed suddenly.

The soldiers of the expeditionary force trapped on the east bank of the Yalu River cheered and the sound shook the sky, while the Goguryeo people who were attacking were in a heavy mood, some were angry, and even more were terrified. Eulzhiwende ordered the attack to be stopped, but to maintain the offensive posture in order to force the Middle-earthers to withdraw across the Yalu Water.

Li Jing and He Chou's march was already very fast, but they did not know that the sailors had been defeated under the city of Pyongyang, let alone that the expeditionary force would fall into the trap of the Goguryeo people, so even if it was fast, it was only limited, especially thousands of carts full of grain and grass and baggage walking on the dirt road that was not completely penetrated, and the drag on the march can be imagined, even if it is difficult to travel 100 miles a day and night. It was not until they met a messenger galloping from the Yalu River on the way that Li Jing and He Chou knew that the expedition to attack Pyongyang had caused an unprecedented defeat for the Weifu Army since the reunification of China and Turkey, and that not only nearly 200,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force were killed on the battlefield of Pyongyang, but more than 100,000 soldiers were trapped on the east bank of the Yalu River, and they were in danger of being destroyed at any time.

Li Jing and He Chou were in a hurry, in the face of the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, there were no conditions to talk about, no difficulties could not be overcome, this time they were really going to work hard, for this reason Li Jing and He Chou decided categorically to convey the order to every guard, every craftsman, every people, to tell the truth, the front line was defeated, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were trapped in Yalu Water waiting for help, and the earlier they rushed to Yalu Water could save people a moment earlier, so in a word, at any cost, go all out, and rush to Yalu Water as soon as possible.

Finally, they arrived at Yalu Water in time, and at this moment, the 130,000 soldiers trapped on the east bank of Yalu Water were already hungry, so hungry that their eyes were full of gold, and everything they could eat was almost gone, and if the reinforcements did not come again, the only thing they could eat was the corpse of the dead robe.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Jing embarked on a large raft made of 300 untied rafts, and the raft was full of sacks containing millet.

Yu Zhongwen, Yu Wenshu, and Liu Shilong rushed to Jinkou with a group of headquarters officials to greet them in person.

Li Jing came from the Li family of Tianshui in Longxi, was born in the general, joined the army when he was young, participated in almost all domestic and foreign wars in the process of unification of China and Turkey and after the reunification, was invincible, invincible, had numerous achievements, and was a famous general in Middle Earth. Last year, he led the army to conquer Wuli City, an important town in the northwest of Goguryeo, and swept away the territory of Goguryeo west of Xiaoliaoshui, ensuring that when the Eastern Expedition army crossed Liaoshui this year, the Goguryeo people could not swim and attack from Liaoshui to endanger the safety of the battlefield on the flank of our Liaoshui

Arriving with Li Jing was the Holy Lord's edict messenger.

This edict was the withdrawal order issued by the Holy Lord on the 25th, and at the same time required the expeditionary force to hold the Yalu water defense line and occupy and consolidate the territory west of the Yalu water.

On this night, the front headquarters of the expeditionary force was brightly lit, and the commanders of the various armies gathered in front of the map to argue fiercely and stay awake all night.

This night, the commander of the naval division, Lai Hu'er, Zhou Fashang and Cui Junsu, also couldn't sleep all night, the naval division battleship was driving on the channel back to the Donglai camp, although they had tried to enter the Sashui River to rescue the trapped expeditionary force, but the battle situation was too fast, and the expeditionary force was defeated too quickly, far beyond their expectations, out of the sailor battleship's travel, there was no way to save it, and they had no choice but to turn the bow of the ship and return to Middle-earth.
