Chapter 1094: Xu Gai robbed the camp

Lai Hu'er smiled and shook his head: "This is what Ben Shuai deliberately did, to be the first to judge the merits, which can stimulate the soldiers' desire to fight, and let go of a part of the enemy army to escape, it can exaggerate the strength of our army, what Ben Shuai wants, as long as the Goguryeo people see the banner of our Sui army, they will tremble in fear and run away!" Escape all the way to Pyongyang City! Then pass this fear on to every Goguryeo in Pyongyang City, from the king to the slaves, so that they will lose the will and courage to continue fighting, and they will no longer dare to be my royal teacher! ”

Wang Shichong's brows frowned slightly, he knew that Laihu'er at this time was complacent, and all he was thinking about was how to be high-spirited, and eighty percent of other people's advice would not be listened to, but in any case, as the deputy marshal in the army, he still felt that he had the obligation to remind Laihu'er not to be carried away by victory at this time.

The corners of Wang Shichong's mouth hooked slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Zhou Fashang on the side preemptively said: "Marshal, I think General Wang is very reasonable, the strength of Goguryeo is definitely more than the 100,000 people in front of him, and there are at least 100,000 people who defend the royal city, plus the reinforcements of the kings from all walks of life, the strength is still above our army." ”

"In this battle, the main purpose of our army should be to kill and wound as many living forces of the enemy army as possible, if we are in a hurry to behead now, instead of annihilating more enemy troops, I am afraid that at least half of the Goguryeo people will escape back alive, and then as long as they rectify a little, they can fight again, and take 10,000 steps back to say, even if they lose the courage to fight again, just shrinking and defending the city is enough to give our army a headache."

A hint of displeasure flashed on Laihu'er's face, he waved his hand, and said in a deep voice, "You only know one of them. I don't know the other two. When I was in the Great Sui Dynasty and conquered Nanchen. Whether it is Yang Su or He Ruobi, or Han Baohu, these famous generals are all captured and released on the spot, let them go back to preach the strength and tolerance of the Sui army, in order to break the fighting spirit of the enemy army, sure enough, in the end, the more than 100,000 troops of Nanchen cannot be a blow to General He Ruo's 30,000 people. After the First World War, Kangcheng was built. ”

"Today, we have traveled far and wide to come to this foreign land, in order to be able to break the country and capture the king, and establish an immortal cause, although His Majesty only wants us to help attract the main force of the Goguryeo army, but I can't treat myself as an assist, and the capture of Pyongyang and Gao Yuan is our goal."

Speaking of which. Lai Hu'er turned his head and glanced at Zhou Fashang, and said in a deep voice: "Vice Marshal Zhou is right. Our troops are indeed inferior to the Goguryeo army, so if we want to achieve the goal of winning a battle, we have to try our best to break the fighting spirit of the Goguryeo people, and now that the battle has been fought like this, the soldiers are depressed these days, and it is impossible for them not to kill the prisoners, even if they capture the enemy army and capture 50,000 or 60,000 people at once, it is unlikely that they will all be let go. We let go of tens of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers, but we can make hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo people terrified, so that we can conquer Pyongyang and establish an immortal cause! ”

Wang Shichong sighed in his heart, the situation of this Goguryeo and Nanchen is completely different, it has been separated from the Han land for hundreds of years, and it is completely foreign at this time, Nanchen has always been the same language and the same species as the north, so if one side is too strong, the resistance of the other side will not be so resolute, but the Goguryeo people are fierce and tenacious, and the reason why they can fight such a rout battle today is also because they killed Marshal Gao Jian, and at the same time killed a bunch of generals on the other side, so that the enemy army panicked for a while and lost its command. If you want to replicate such a big victory, I'm afraid it's just very difficult.

Lai Hu'er followed Yang Su and He Ruobi to the south back then, and only learned this fur to release the prisoners and break the hearts of the army, but it was a rigid and inopportune use in this Goguryeo, and it seemed that sooner or later it would be self-defeating, but it would be a disaster.

But Wang Shichong can also see that the relationship between Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang is not so harmonious, both are generals from the southern department, these two are secretly competing on this expedition, although Zhou Fashang intends to give in most of the time, but when it comes to challenging the authority of the boss, Lai Hu'er is extremely sensitive, just now he said to Zhou Fashang, has clearly stated this, if he persists, not only will it not help, but it will make Lai Hu'er have an opinion of himself. That's a big deal.

Thinking of this, Wang Shichong laughed: "The handsome man is really proficient in the art of war, and the last general admires and admires." It's just that Deputy Marshal Zhou also has some truth in what he said, and it is not easy to win such a big victory, so that the Goguryeo army runs too much, it may not be a good thing, it is better to divide thousands of cavalry, chase and kill him all the way, and then kill him 20,000 or 30,000 people, so that the Goguryeo soldiers in those camps know the power of our army's iron cavalry, after all, there are only 30,000 or 40,000 Goguryeo soldiers in front of them, and there are many in the camp, and they have not seen the horror of our cavalry! ”

Lai Hu'er's brows softened a little, and he sighed for a while, and said: "Well, General Wang is reasonable, pass on my general's order, 10,000 light cavalry to attack, attack the enemy camp, and chase and kill as many enemy soldiers as possible, however, the pursuit must not exceed ten miles away from the enemy camp, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

After Lai Hu'er gave this order, he turned his head to look at Xu Gai, who was standing in the back row, and said with a smile: "General Xu, yesterday Linglang fought against Gao Jian, which improved the morale of the whole army and made a great contribution to today's victory. ”

An imperceptible smile flashed on Xu Gai's face, and he disappeared in a flash, and gave a military salute to Laihu'er: "Obey the commander's military order!" ”

After Lai Hu'er gave the order, he proudly pointed to the Goguryeo army camp that was already on fire and raising black smoke in front of him with a horsewhip, and said, "Everyone, let's go to the Goguryeo camp and set up a celebration bar!" ”

Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin each brought a few cavalry squads, and they had already followed the rout of Goguryeo, all the way into the camp of the Goguryeo army, and there were Goguryeo people running everywhere, rushing for their lives, if there were still many of the 40,000 Goguryeo troops in front of the camp just now, almost none of the Goguryeo people in this camp still had the courage to fight.

The Goguryeo soldiers in the battalion were mostly old and weak, and after witnessing the god-like generalissimo of their own side being stuck in the tip of the Sui people's lance to show off their might, and witnessing the 40,000 most elite troops of their own side being slaughtered in pieces in front of the fence, and almost having no power to resist, they had no fighting spirit, and threw down their weapons and armor one after another, and fled everywhere.
