Yuan Taizuo's face sank like water, pacing back and forth, and after thinking for a long time, he stood still by the river and said: "There are still more than 50,000 people left in the villages along the river in the main force of our army, and more than 5,000 of them are scattered in other camps and bluffs. ”
Yizhi Wende nodded: "There is only this way, but more than half of the 50,000 horses in Dazhai are infantry, how can they be withdrawn?" ”
Yuan Taizuo's eyes were blazing: "The troops in Dazhai can't be withdrawn all at once, they must stay here to resist for a day or two, otherwise they will be chased and killed by the cavalry of the Sui army, not only the 30,000 troops will be difficult to get out, but even the troops from all walks of life who left two days ago will be difficult to escape." This requires a unit to stay in the camp and resist for at least three days. ”
Yuan Taizuo said this, looked around, as his gaze swept over, the Goguryeo generals of a member of the staff all lowered their heads, everyone had seen the Sui army's strong combat power and sophisticated equipment with their own eyes, everyone knew that staying to cover was mostly death, which one would dare to touch this mold?
Yuan Taizuo sighed: "Alas, I can't imagine raising soldiers for a thousand days, but it is rare to have a warrior when using soldiers." Anyway, the city lords will lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to return quickly, and I Yuan Taizuo will stay and break off. ”
Yuangai Suwen gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Father, you are the commander of the First Army, and you will stick to the cities next, especially Liaodong City." You have to, so you must not have any mistakes, the child is not talented, I am willing to lead a cavalry as the rear guard of the whole army, if the Sui army dares to cross the river, the child will ride hard. Annihilate its vanguard and frustrate its spirit. ”
The corners of Yuan Taizuo's mouth hooked, and he shook his head: "No, General Su Wen, this time is different from last time, that time the Sui army only crossed from this front, so you can send cavalry to copy it, but this time the Sui army crossed the river everywhere from the surface of the Liao River for hundreds of miles, do you know where they came from?" Wait until the enemy is ashore. Arrange a good position, or even cross the river with iron horses, then you have no advantage, once the counterattack fails, then not only can not cover the army, but even attract the enemy to chase and kill, no! ”
Yang Qianshou, the lord of Anshi City and the deputy commander of the Liaodong Army of Goguryeo, raised his head. This is a general who is over fifty years old and has a purple face and a long beard. With a calm and resolute face, in Liaodong, his Anshi City is the largest except for Liaodong City, and the strength of his subordinates is second only to Yuan Taizuo, with 20,000 soldiers and 8,000 cavalry. His eldest son, Yang Wanchun, is also a young fierce general known as Yuangai Suwen, and he was in the limelight in the battle a few days ago.
However, Yang Qianshou was an out-and-out royalist, and he had always advocated that Yuan Taizuo enter the court as the prime minister and be loyal to the king of Goguryeo, so the relationship with Yuan Taizuo was very stiff. The two cities of Liaodong and Anshi are almost incompatible, and even Yuangai Suwen and Yang Wanchun are secretly competing with each other, and they do not give in to each other.
After hearing the conversation between Yuan Taizuo and Yuan Gai Suwen's father and son, Yang Qianshou said: "Yuan Da Fusa, the little general Su Wen is right, you are the backbone of our Goguryeo Liaodong, you can't take risks lightly, and lead the army to break off, and the little general only relies on cavalry, which is indeed dangerous, it is better for me to lead the 10,000 infantry of my Anshi City, cooperate with my son's 5,000 cavalry, and stay here to defend, what do you think?" ”
Yuan Taizuo was proud in his heart, he just acted this time, just to provoke Yang Qianshou to come out and take the initiative to fight, this palace battle is definitely different from the war a few days ago, the nine deaths left behind, even if he wins, it is impossible to have any military exploits, unless it is a last resort, Yuan Taizuo is reluctant to let his descendants bear such losses, in case the main force is lost, I am afraid that even Liaodong City will not be able to hold it
But since Yang Qianshou took the initiative to ask for battle, Yuan Taizuo naturally pushed the boat down the river, and laughed: "Vice Marshal Yang, you really deserve to be loyal and courageous, and you are dedicated to the country, but this marshal can't let all your troops stay, what can you do in Anshi City when the time comes?" ”
Yang Qianshou shook his head, and said angrily: "There must always be troops left to fight and block, my 10,000 infantry, all of them are the soldiers of Anshi, who have followed me for many years, and are good at defense, with this battalion as a support, they can resist for at least three days, as for my son Yang Wanchun's 8,000 elite cavalry, you can gallop back and forth to help the villages, once which village builds a bridge for the Sui army to attack, as soon as the sergeant guarding the village releases the beacon fire, his 8,000 iron cavalry can go to support quickly." Not to mention those empty villages hundreds of miles away from the upstream and downstream, at least I am confident that I can defend the front within this hundred miles that can pose a threat to our army in the past two days. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Qianshou suddenly frowned, and said: "But the general still wants to ask Generalissimo Yuan for one thing, which is related to the life and death of my 20,000 athletes, and I also ask Generalissimo Yuan to fulfill it." ”
Yuan Taizuo's eyelids jumped, and he said: "Vice Marshal Yang, please speak up, but if Ben Shuai can help, he will do his best to help." ”
Yang Qianshou nodded and said: "In the judgment of this general, our army will hold on here for a few days, and it is not a big problem, but with only 20,000 soldiers, it is absolutely impossible to defend the entire Liaohe defense line, once the Sui army crosses the river from elsewhere and forms a situation of outflanking our army, then it will be difficult for our army to support it again, so our army must ensure the smooth flow of the back road, that is to say, after our army has completed the task of defense and blocking, it also needs the commander to send an elite cavalry to respond to and cover the withdrawal of our army, that is to say, the back road must be guaranteed." ”
Yuan Taizuo laughed and said: "It turns out that this is the case, it should be, it is necessary, General Yuan Gai Suwen, you led 10,000 iron cavalry of Liaodong City and camped in the spare camp ten miles away, your task is to ensure Vice Marshal Yang's retreat, understand?" ”
A look of dissatisfaction flashed on Yuan Gai Suwen's face: "Father, the child is ordered to bring three thousand heavy cavalry to act with Deputy Marshal Yang, and only meet the front army in the back, which is really not what I want." ”
Yuan Taizuo's face sank, and he said sharply: "The matter of the military aircraft, how can it be completely according to your wishes, this matter has already been decided, and he will not say much." ”
Yuan Gai Suwen bowed and retreated with a reluctant face, Yuan Taizuo smiled and said to Yang Qianshou: "Vice Marshal Yang, that's without further ado, the heavy responsibility of our army's guard will be handed over to you, this commander only needs you to defend here for three days, after three days, look at the assembled wolf smoke in Yuan Gai Suwen's spare camp, as long as the wolf smoke rises, he will accept your retreat, if you don't see the wolf smoke, then you can't go out lightly, you need to continue to insist."
