Chapter 1052: The End of Yang Qianshou

On the front line of the Liaohe River, March 18, the war drums were noisy, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the last few big villages of the Goguryeo army were already full of fire, and the arrows in the air were like pieces of dark clouds, covering the sky and the sun, and behind the Dazhai of the Goguryeo army, the cavalry of the Sui army was galloping back and forth, constantly shooting bursts of arrow rain into the camp, it seemed that Yang Qianshou and his men had reached the final moment.

On the platform of the main battalion of the Goguryeo army, Yang Qianshou was already in crooked armor, and above the armor, the arrows were like hedgehogs, and blood kept flowing out from his wounds, which made his face pale and his lips completely chapped.

Since the Sui army landed, Yang Qianshou and his 20,000 men have been holding on to the front line of the Liao River for nine days, facing more and more stormy attacks of the Sui army every day, seeing the camps being breached one by one, and watching the heavy infantry phalanx of the Sui army, with unstoppable momentum, firmly and slowly advancing towards their main camp every day, but they have no way to counter, they can only rely on the bow and strong arrows to slow down the speed of the enemy's advance, if it weren't for Yuan Taizuo who left a large number of arrows when retreating, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand it for a long time.

From the third day, Yang Qianshou repeatedly sent signals to the temporary camp ten miles away, asking Yuangai Suwen to send cavalry to support, but this news was like a mud cow into the sea, Yuangai Suwen always sent hundreds of rangers to swim behind the village, and immediately retracted it, and so on several times, Yang Qianshou understood that Yuangai Suwen didn't want to cooperate with him to fight at all, and he didn't want to save him at all.

The two long-pole wolf tooth arrows of the Sui army roared through the air, grazing Yang Qianshou's cheeks, leaving another arrow mark several inches long on his old face, and he gritted his teeth. Turning to the herald beside him, he shouted: "Light the wolf smoke again, wave the signal flag, and tell Yuangai Suwen that now Ben Shuai uses the sword of the king of Goguryeo to order him to quickly send troops and attack the flank of the Sui army." For the retreat of our army, open a passage! ”

Ten miles away, in the temporary camp of Goguryeo, Yuangai Suwen rode a snow-white BMW, coldly watching a few new wolf smoke rising from the main camp on the river bank in the distance, and on the high platform, the standard-bearers were hurriedly putting up various colorful flags, conveying Yang Qianshou's order accurately and speechlessly.

Beside Yuan Gai Suwen, a family general named Yuan Zhongzhi frowned. said: "Young General, City Lord Yang is asking for help again, this time in the name of the king, let's not go out again, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Gai Suwen's mouth: "Our Yuan family, when did you take care of the king's orders?" Not to mention that it's just a sword, you call him a king, and see if he will agree? ”

The corners of Yuan Zhongzhi's mouth hooked. He said: "But, after all, General Yang is also an old man who has been friends with adults for decades. This time, they volunteered to stay here to cover the retreat of the whole army, and now they have been here for ten days, long past the three-day period agreed by the adults, and we can no longer send troops to rescue them. I'm afraid it's not good. ”

Yuangai Suwen shook his head: "That's Yang City Lord's own choice, if he wants to break through, can I still stop him?" On the contrary, we are here to monitor the battle situation ahead and cover the withdrawal of the army. Now that our mission is accomplished, it is time to retreat. ”

Yuangai Suwen turned his head to a lieutenant general and said, "General Gao, have you finished the Jingguan built by the corpses of the Sui army, as well as the wooden stakes of the owl's head?" ”

A face full of knife marks, full of fierce color of the general jumped out of the horse, a finger three miles away in a clearing, a temporary huge earthen platform, piled with more than 8,000 Sui army headless corpses, the armor has long been stripped off, and the corpse was covered with a layer of soil, on which a broken Sui army banner was inserted, revealing a horror of death, and thousands of Sui army heads, inserted in more than 8,000 wooden stakes, densely packed, surrounded by this Beijing view of the earth platform, shocking.

This kind of Jingguan originated in ancient times, in order to deter the enemy, show off the military prestige was founded, the Spring and Autumn Period, the conquest between countries, after the war in the ancient battlefield to build the Jingguan, in order to deter the enemy, has become a routine, the Goguryeo people and the Central Plains have a lot of exchanges, for this cruel post-war disposal method, but learned very quickly, one to show off martial arts, and the other is also as Yuan Taizuo said, to arouse the anger of the Sui army, so that they no longer show mercy when attacking the city, with the heart of the Goguryeo cities to shake and surrender.

Yuangai Suwen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, now burn down this camp, and then let's quickly withdraw to Liaodong City." ”

Yuan Zhongzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said hurriedly: "Young General, they will withdraw without notifying the Yang City Lord, which is not good." ”

Yuangai Suwen sneered and said, "Didn't you order the camp, this is the best notice for them, let them ask for more blessings." Let's go! ”

Yuan Gai Suwen shook the horse's head, turned around and beat the horse away, he sighed softly, and muttered, "Yang Wanchun, I hope you can come back alive." ”

The muscles on Yang Qianshou's face were jumping, looking at the temporary camp with raging flames in the distance, he finally broke off his last hope, and Yang Wanchun's eyes on the side were about to pop out, and he roared: "Father, the surname Yuan really didn't have a good heart, he abandoned us!" ”

Yang Qianshou closed his eyes, and two lines of old tears flowed from the corners of his eyes: "It's all my fault, I misbelieved people's words, and stupidly broke off others here, I thought that Yuan Taizuo would not borrow a knife to kill people at such a time for the sake of the country, but I still underestimated their selfishness and shamelessness!" ”

Yang Qianshou opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Yang Wanchun, and suddenly laughed: "Wanchun, it's too late to say anything now, don't stay here to die, there are more than a thousand cavalry, you take them, fight out of the encirclement, and return to Anshi City, no matter what, we are Goguryeo men, we can die on the battlefield, and we must not survive." ”

Yang Wanchun shouted excitedly: "No, father, I can't leave you alone, let the child kill a bloody road, and protect you from the encirclement." ”

A flying stone broke through the air, flew less than a foot beside the two of them, and smashed heavily on the ground on one side, suddenly smashing out a large pit more than a foot deep, and the smoke and dust were everywhere, making the two of them all covered with dust. Yang Qianshou waved his hand, pointed to the surroundings of the camp, and the Goguryeo soldiers who were still fighting bloodily and fighting to the death with the Sui army that attacked the village from all directions, said: "One general is incompetent, tired of the three armies, these young men are all brought out by me from Anshi City, how can I leave them behind and escape alone?" Wan Chun, you are my son and a soldier of Goguryeo, you must listen to my orders, leave now! (To be continued......)
