A family general named Mai Ziwen is a fellow villager who has been with Mai Tiecane for many years, and has been on the battlefield with Mai Tiecane, and has been born and died for decades, but it is the first time he has seen his lord's appearance, he said in a low voice: "General, what now?" The back road of our army has been cut off, listening to the shouts of killing and the sound of horses' hooves, the Goguryeo people are coming in a blink of an eye, now do you want the rear team to turn to the front team and fight a bloody road? ”

Mai Tiezhu shook his head blankly, and looked around: "It's impossible, our army has been encircled on all sides, deep into the enemy camp, and now the back road has been cut off, if you order a retreat, the whole army will collapse, and all the sergeants will scramble to kill the bloody road and grab the pontoon bridge." ”

He looked at the smoke and dust in the direction of the camp gate he was looking at now, and said through gritted teeth: "The enemy army has been premeditated, so after eliminating the rear guard of our army and cutting off the connection with the opposite side, he delayed the all-out assault, just to let our army retreat at this time, and then they will chase and kill with cavalry, and when our army fights for the bridge and crosses the river, it will be massacred, and there is no power to resist!" So we can't go back! ”

A look of resoluteness flashed in Mai Tiecane's eyes: "I and other Great Sui soldiers, fighting for the country, today are deep in the enemy camp, there is already a situation of death and no life, there is no advance and no retreat, pass my general order, form a circle formation, continue to attack and advance, this battle, not to survive, but before death, kill a few more Goguryeo people, to let them know the courage and arrogance of our Great Sui soldiers!" ”

Yang Guang couldn't sit still behind the handsome case, like a trapped beast, stood up, walked around in front of the stage, and the battle situation in front of him had a full view from his position, although he had already injured his body due to indulgence, but under the effect of a large number of tonics and red pills. Eyesight is acceptable. There's no industrial pollution in this. There is no haze in the era, ten miles away, you can see at a glance, Yang Guang several times proposed to move the location of the battle forward, to the position of Wang Shichong three miles ago, but Yu Shiji and others repeatedly advised, saying that there is the Goguryeo trebuchet can theoretically hit the range, Your Majesty's body. couldn't take this risk, which made Yang Guang change his mind.

But even here, he clearly saw how Mai Tiecane descended to the other party's river bank like a god, and how he organized the troops to line up and advance in an orderly manner, and even more clearly saw that the river defense camp of Goguryeo, under the sharp attack of the Sui army, was vulnerable to a blow and was quickly broken, when the iron hooves of the Sui army trampled over the corpses of those Goguryeo troops. When they trampled on their flesh and blood and mixed with the mud on the ground. Yang Guang was even more overjoyed, clapping his hands and stomping his feet desperately, as if he was stepping on the corpses of those Goguryeo soldiers.

But with the appearance of the cavalry of the Goguryeo army, the rear guard troops on both wings were lost, Yang Guang could no longer laugh, at this time, he was like a sleepy beast walking back and forth, constantly rubbing his hands, but his eyes were all looking at the opposite riverbank, but at this moment, thousands of Goguryeo war horses were galloping repeatedly in the camp on the riverbank, raising smoke and dust in the sky, just twenty steps across the riverbank, he couldn't see anything clearly, he could only hear the faint sound of shouting and killing in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves, of course, The sound of our crossbow arrows firing and throwing stones into the air is also endless.

Yang Guang stopped and stomped his foot suddenly: "What is Wang Shichong doing to eat!" Seeing that the wheat iron rod is desperately on the opposite side, now I don't send a single soldier to cross the river, but only send some crossbow arrows here, throw stones or something, what can it do! Even I could see that these Goguryeo cavalry had moved away from the river bank and penetrated deep into the camp to flank General Mai's troops. ”

Yu Shiji's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, and the minister seconded it!" Please also ask Your Majesty to send a good general to the front to relieve and take over Wang Shichong's command, quickly transfer the army to cross the river to support, and wait for the battle to be over, and then cure Wang Shichong's crime of not saving him! ”

The corners of Yang Guang's mouth hooked, and he didn't answer Yu Shiji's words, turned his head to look at the silent Yuwenshu, and said, "General Yuwen, you say, is there a problem with Wang Shichong's command?" ”

The corners of Yuwenshu's mouth hooked: "The last general thinks that General Wang's command is not wrong, the Goguryeo army is obviously setting a trap to lure our army across the river, and now although General Mai's department is trapped in the enemy camp, it is not yet chaotic, listening to this shouting and killing, it seems that it is breaking through to the river bank here, if the army is sent to cross the river to support at this time, the Goguryeo army will inevitably attack the reinforcements on the river bridge." ”

"Not only that, our army's reinforcements occupy the bridge deck, even if there is a possibility of breaking through on the opposite side, it is impossible to cross the bridge, while going to the opposite bank, while withdrawing, there are only three pontoon bridges, one of which is broken, and it is impossible to quickly withdraw the army while sending reinforcements, and it will only block the passage of their own retreat!"

Yang Guang's brows tightened, and he asked: "Then can you let the Mai Tie Cane Army not be allowed to retreat after reaching the river bank, stick to it, and wait for reinforcements, and then send reinforcements across the river to save them?" Didn't Mai Tiezhu lead more than 5,000 people across the river at the beginning and save more than 200 soldiers who were originally guarding the riverbank? ”

Yuwenshu sighed: "Your Majesty, with your wisdom, you should be able to see that the reason why they were able to lead their troops to rush over the first time was not because of other reasons, but because the Goguryeo army deliberately let us go, otherwise with the situation that we were not arrayed when we first crossed the river, as long as they sent out cavalry and attacked like this, they would be able to completely annihilate our army's beach-grabbing troops." ”

Yang Guang's face was slightly red, he really didn't see this, but he knew that Yuwen Shu had saved enough face for himself, he nodded, and put on a look of imperial majesty on his face, and said: "But my Iron Army of the Great Sui, even if it knows that the opposite side is a sword mountain and a sea of fire, should move forward, a million troops gathered on the west bank of the Liao River, and the Goguryeo army is far less than the number of our army, and now that the forward troops have rushed across the river, can the soldiers in the rear do nothing but shoot arrows and beat drums?" ”

Yuwenshu shook his head: "Your Majesty, please don't judge heroes by temporary success or failure, today our army only crossed the river with a few thousand people, and almost found out the reality and deployment of the Goguryeo army, and killed a lot of enemies, even if the Goguryeo army is lucky enough to succeed for a while, it can be seen that they can't continue to consume here with us." ”

"Next, as long as our army builds more pontoon bridges and erects dozens of them, when tens of thousands of troops rush across the river at the same time, it is expected that the Goguryeo army will not be able to resist, their main force in Liaodong seems to have gathered here, and the most elite cavalry is about 10,000 people, with such strength, it will be difficult to compete with our army, Your Majesty can rest assured, fight again the next day, and will be able to break the enemy in one fell swoop!"
