The sun stopped high in mid-air, and the warm winter sun sprinkled on both sides of the Liao River, shining on the people for a while, but on the east bank of the Liao River, it was full of smoke and dust, and more than a dozen camps were emitting black smoke and flames, and the black war smoke was blown by the west wind in this March, shrouding the entire east bank in a gray cloud, only the Yangzi banner of the main camp of Goguryeo was still fluttering in the wind, telling the soldiers on both sides of the strait that the Goguryeo people were still fighting!

On the high platform under the banner, Yang Qianshou's face was covered with sweat, and the soot covered his face with a thick layer, and the sweat seemed to rush through the river of the dry earth, rushing out of his face one after another, making him look funny, his right hand was tightly grasping a Lingqi, looking at the opposite river, his eyes were full of anxiety, and the Goguryeo generals standing beside him were also grim, some of them were wrapped in bandages on their bodies and heads, and traces of blood were oozing out of the bandages. There is a blood-stained style.

A herald with two banners planted was kneeling on one knee in front of Yang Qianshou, quickly and clearly reporting the battle situation since yesterday: "The ninth branch of the right battalion has been broken by Yang Yichen of the Sui army, and 1,300 people under General Liu Yuanhao, the owner of our army, have been killed, and the enemy's losses are more than 2,000. ”

"The eleventh branch of the right battalion has been broken by the Sui army Wei Xuan's department, the owner of the village, General Song Chengxian, 1,100 people were killed in battle, and the enemy's losses were more than 3,000.

"The thirteenth thirteenth village of the right battalion has fought fiercely last night until now, destroying six pontoon bridges of the enemy. However, this morning, the enemy's Wei Xuan's department and Xin Shixiong's department in front of him were attacked from both sides. Now it is in the midst of a fierce battle. General Liu Bingxun, the owner of the village, has already released seven wolf smoke in a row for help. ”

Yang Wanchun couldn't help but stand up and saluted: "Father, please allow the child to lead five thousand iron cavalry to the rescue, General Liu is not easy to fight, even if he can't hold the village, at least he and the other soldiers must be rescued." ”

Yang Qianshou's face was expressionless, and his voice was also cold without a trace of human affection: "This matter will be discussed later, herald." You continue to report on the fighting of the other battalions. ”

The herald nodded, and continued: "The eighth branch of the right battalion has been going all the way to the sixth branch of the left battalion, including the main camp, fought all night last night, and repeatedly repelled the Sui army's forcible crossing and bridge building intentions, and now the Sui army in front of it has retreated, and in the Liao River, the enemy's corpses are more than 10,000, and our army's losses are about 2,000. ”

A hint of joy finally appeared on Yang Qianshou's face, and he nodded. He said to the generals on both sides: "This is all thanks to the bloody battle of the generals and city lords. Yang thanked him. ”

Many generals hurriedly bowed and said, "This is the duty of the last general." ”

Yang Qianshou nodded and continued to ask, "How is the battle situation south of the seventh branch of the left battalion?" ”

A trace of helplessness flashed on the herald's face, but he still said quickly: "The thirteenth branch of the left battalion, the main headquarters of Liu Chengmin's village, has been broken through by the enemy troops in front of him since midnight last night, and the enemy army used the method of smuggling, put iron cables on the bottom of the ferry, and dragged them by people who are skilled in water, and brought the boats full of weapons and shields to the shore, and then took advantage of the situation to go ashore from the water, and built the first line of defense with the shields carried on these boats to cover the successful bridge of the follow-up troops. By the end of the morning, 5,000 enemy troops had come ashore. ”

Yang Qianshou sighed: "I still underestimated this army, I thought they were feints to attract the attention of our army, but I didn't expect that there was such an ingenious way to cross the river, who is the commander of this army?" ”

The herald said: "According to the confession of the Sui army prisoners, that army is the Sui general who was wiped out the whole army the day before yesterday, and the Flying Tiger Army under the right Xiaowei general Mai Tiecane is also the remnant of the entire Sui army's vanguard unit, which is under the acting command of Wang Shichong, the general of the Sui army. ”

Yang Qianshou was slightly stunned: "Is it Wang Shichong?" Is the message correct? ”

The herald said: "This is what the Sui army prisoners in several different places said, and it should be correct. ”

Yang Qianshou was silent for a long time before he said: "Last night, when Lord Yizhi was leaving, he specially told me that this Wang Shichong is full of wisdom and knows the art of war, and he wants Ben Shuai to pay special attention, but Ben Shuai is still careless, generals, in the future, when facing this person and his Flying Tiger Army, you must pay attention, and you must not underestimate the enemy!" ”

All the generals should say yes in unison. A lieutenant general said: "Dashuai, Namai Iron Staff was born in the south, I heard that he is proficient in water, and his subordinates are mostly southern villagers, so they can sneak in the water, this Wang Shichong just used their skills, and he succeeded in smuggling by luck, the Sui army was in front of Yuwenshu, Wang Rengong and other generals' troops were repelled by our army and failed to cross the river. ”

Yang Qianshou shook his head, today in fact, between this herald's report, he has basically learned about the battle situation everywhere, the reason why he wants to recruit the owners of each village to take advantage of the intermission of the war is to let everyone understand the current situation, he continued: "Herald, you continue to talk about the battle situation of the left battalion. ”

The herald said: "After Wang Shichong led the army to cross the river, General Yang Chengzhe, the cavalry general of our army, was ordered to lead two thousand iron cavalry to insert from the 14th branch of the left camp, wanting to assault the Sui army from the side, but Wang Shichong was very cunning, while sending a large group of men and horses to attack General Liu's village, while setting up an ambush, pretending to be cutting the heads of the dead soldiers of our army, General Yang Chengzhe thought that the enemy had an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he assaulted the army. ”

Yang Wanchun's face flashed a trace of excitement, he took 5,000 cavalry last night like a fire captain, and kept rushing to the aid of the right army's villages, among the more than 10,000 people killed by the Sui army, at least more than half of them were casualties caused by his iron cavalry assault after going ashore, he didn't see Yang Chengzhe, and thought that the head of the family was chasing and killing the Sui army all the way, haha laughed and said: "The Sui army is really dead, and our army seized the fighter plane and attacked with iron cavalry, how much did General Yang win in this battle?" ”

The corners of Yang Qianshoudi's mouth twitched, and he said coldly: "Geometry? The 2,000 cavalry were all wiped out, and the head of General Yang Chengzhe was already hanging at the gate of the 13th Quarter of my left battalion. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar, everyone knew that this Yang Chengzhe was a member of the right-hand man who had followed Yang Qianshou for many years, with strong martial arts, cautious, experienced in a hundred battles, far from being comparable to ordinary generals, so Yang Qianshou gave his eight thousand elite horses, in addition to giving five thousand to his son Yang Wanchun, leaving one thousand elite soldiers to protect himself, the remaining two thousand people are under the control of Yang Chengzhe, and they have always been used as an assault force to turn the tide of the war, no one would have imagined that such two thousand iron horses, together with Yang Chengzhe, are all finished!
