Chapter 986: Yuan Taizuo's Calculations

Yizhi Wende nodded: "That's right, if this invasion of our country is really a complete victory as Yang Guang delusional, then this may be the last battle of the Sui Dynasty in a few decades, these Guanlong generals are even more convinced, so in order to obtain the position of the chief general of each army, they have carried out countless operations and public relations in private, which is why they stand out from hundreds of military merit families and become the chief general of the first army. ”

Yizhi Wende looked at the Sui camp opposite, under a big flag with the word "wheat" written on it, holding the order flag in his arms, loudly commanding thousands of infantry soldiers to train in formation, and said: "This person's name is Mai Tiecan, he is a Lingnan native of the Sui Dynasty, he is not a general from Guanlong, but Yang Guang finally chose him as the vanguard in order to balance the power of the generals in Guanlong, and it is precisely because of this that his camp is located in the west of Liaoshui and the closest place to our army." ”

Yuan Taizuo sneered: "I have been confronting this surnamed Mai for a month, this person is indeed brave, and he once took off his armor himself, rode shirtless, galloped along the river bank, and showed off his might, trying to lure our army to attack. If it weren't for my strict order, the battalions would not have been allowed to cross the river and assault, for fear that my two impatient sons would have rushed out to fight this man alone! ”

Eulzhi Wende looked at the guard tower, in front of the dense Goguryeo cavalry formation, a young general with bright silver and white armor, riding a white horse, holding a spear, and carrying a terrifyingly big super bow, said with a smile: "General Yuan, the brave name of the eldest prince is the best in Goguryeo, and even the first warrior of our Goguryeo, the younger brother of the king. Kaesong is waiting for high construction. Also full of praise. said that it was better than he was back then. ”

Yuan Taizuo's face showed a hint of pride, and he waved his hand: "Haha, Gai Suwen, this kid, has brute strength, but he is just brave, he still has a lot to learn." This time, I will take him out to see the world, so that I can teach him what real war is. In the future, as the eldest son of our Yuan family, he will inherit our Yuan family and the entire eastern Fusa. You can't let his temperament come from nonsense! ”

Yizhi Wende sneered in his heart, Yuan Taizuo's eldest son Yuan Gai Suwen is indeed strong in martial arts and brave, but unfortunately his son Yizhi Yae has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he is not so strong, it seems that he can barely maintain a balance of power with Yuan Taizuo in his life, but when it comes to his children and grandchildren, he will definitely put pressure on this kid.

But Eji Wende said, "Young man." It's all like this, there is a sense of flesh and blood. Meddlesome. By the way, this wheat iron rod is challenged like this, and General Yuan doesn't shoot him with arrows? You are our top archer in Goguryeo, even if you are across this Liao River more than 100 steps wide, it is not a problem to shoot that Sui general! ”

Yuan Taizuo shook his head: "This person seems to be rough, but in fact he is very careful, and has always controlled the distance of the challenge to a distance of three hundred steps from our fence and sentry, at this distance, even if I shoot him, he will be alert, with his skills, he will definitely be able to dodge, when the morale of the enemy army rises, and our army will be depressed, this is probably the effect he wants." ”

Yizhi Wende nodded: "Since you have said so, there must be no problem, today you and I went to the sentry to inspect and set up such a formation, presumably the Sui army has already found out, so this wheat iron rod also demonstratively opened the camp gate and drilled the soldiers, which is also a demonstration to our army." ”

Yuan Taizuo nodded: "Yes, that's right, the Sui army is indeed strong, look at their drills like this, the array transformation is very skilled, it is rare that these sergeants are in formation, there is no sound when they are marching, only when they rush to kill, they will immediately kill the sky, such a quiet army, an army with explosive force, is the most terrifying, I originally thought that there are many Sui soldiers, it is inevitable that the good and the bad are uneven, when there are many rabble, it is not difficult to win, but when you look at their vanguard troops, it is the elite of the long-term battle, alas, it is not easy to win." ”

Yizhi Wende smiled slightly: "What, General Yuan, your own confidence is insufficient?" ”

Yuan Taizuo laughed: "How is it possible! You should know my character, I am strong when I am strong, if the Sui army is too weak, I can't be interested. Although there are few people in our army now, I have also set up a camp of more than 200,000 people, and every day I let the sergeants train in the left camp during the day, and quietly withdraw from the right camp at night, swaggering into the camp with torches, so that the Sui army cannot figure out the reality of our army, and really think that our army has 200,000 people. You see that they have stopped and camped now, and they dare not force their way through, which shows the success of my strategy. As long as I can hold them back here for more than three months, and when the royal capital destroys or repels the sailors of the Sui army, and the army rushes to help, I will no longer be afraid of these Sui troops! ”

Otozhi Wende said softly: "Why, General Yuan also invited the king's army to enter the Liaodong region this time?" It's not your style. ”

A look of vigilance flashed on Yuan Taizuo's face, and he said in a deep voice, "Who said I want the king's troops to come?" I just invited Gao Tai's iron cavalry to support, as for the king's troops, but there was an agreement with our four mattresses back then, unless we invited, they were not allowed to enter the hereditary territory of our four departments, and this will not be forgotten by General Otoji. ”

Yizhi Wende smiled slightly: "With only Gao Tai's cavalry, you have the confidence to repel the Sui army?" ”

Yuan Taizuo nodded: "The king's troops only need to set up a formation on the south side of the Yalu Water to strengthen my momentum. Now our army is mostly infantry, lack of cavalry, and there is no mobility, even if the Sui army is defeated, it is difficult to fight a war of annihilation, there are clouds of soldiers, it is better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers, if you want to fight the Sui army in the future, you will not dare to invade our Liaodong again, only by ruthlessly annihilating their several troops. ”

Yizhi Wende nodded: "No wonder you took the initiative to lead the army to guard the front line of the Liao River, this is actually covering up the weakness of our army's lack of cavalry and insufficient combat power, and defending it according to the river can weaken the numerical advantage of the Sui army to the greatest extent, right." ”

Yuan Taizuo laughed, pointed to the wide river, and said: "Yes, God is also helping us, this year's weather is warming very fast, the Liao River could freeze until early March, but in February, this year's ice will be all broken, I will tear down several bridges on the Liao River, and now the Sui army can't fly even if it has wings, unless it ......"

Etozhi Wende chased after him and asked, "Unless what?" ”

Yuan Taizuo took a deep breath, looked at the camp of the Sui army in the distance, and said thoughtfully: "Unless they really spare the lives of their soldiers, build a pontoon bridge, take people's lives to fill this Liao River, and force it to cross!" (To be continued......)
