The army of the Sui army, under the guidance of the vanguard heavy cavalry, came out of the forest in a steady stream, and from a distance, the entire dense forest within a radius of dozens of miles was constantly shaking, first a group of heavy cavalry held the front, and then tens of thousands of light cavalry followed from both wings, and then the Sui infantry in four columns, like a long dragon, came out of the forest in a steady stream, on both sides were carts full of baggage supplies, and in the middle were groups of infantry, or holding lances, or carrying bows, or holding swords and shields, And so on and on.

This huge Sui army, after walking for three hours, after the sun was in the middle, forty or fifty thousand Sui troops began to unfold on this whole plain, the infantry was in front, five thousand iron cavalry were hidden in the formation, 10,000 light cavalry were on both sides, the iron armor and wooden shield long lance soldiers were in front, and more than three columns of one-word lance forests were discharged, and 20,000 archers were behind them, and the battle queue was lined up, and the rear of the military formation, on a temporary high platform, a big banner with the word "come", fluttering in the wind, came to protect the child and more than ten generals, lived on the high platform, and was full of swords on the ground, looking at the Goguryeo camp in the distance.

Lai Cheng has returned to the stage, Gao Jian's head was inserted on a large flagpole that is three feet high, standing less than 300 steps in front of the Goguryeo military camp, in the Goguryeo barracks, there are one after another crying voices, many Goguryeo people, while crying, knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the head more than once.

Laihong laughed, pointed to the Goguryeo camp, and said: "Father, it seems that these Goguryeo people are sad that rabbits and foxes are dead, why is this Gao Jian dead for so many days, and they are still crying like this." Could it be that Gao Jian is their father? ”

Lai Yuan shook his head: "No." Eldest brother. I'm afraid it's not, in my opinion, these sergeants seem to be the Goguryeo army that escaped that day, it turns out to be Gao Jian's subordinates, and they respect them like gods, so they cry so sadly, you look at their banners. There are quite a few patterns of the enemy flags that we captured after capturing Dazhai that day, and it seems that they have reorganized these troops. ”

Lai Hu'er nodded with satisfaction: "Yuan'er can see this, it's not simple, and there is progress." What do you think? ”

Lai Wei nodded: "The third brother is right, but the child has learned a little strangely, it is said that these deserters are impossible to form the original army separately and return to the battlefield, these people have just escaped." and have no will to fight, let them go to the battlefield. If you drive sheep and fight tigers, you can only send them to death, and even the stupid Goguryeo generals are unlikely to make such a decision. ”

Lai Yuan shook his head: "Fourth brother, maybe they mixed the new army with the deserters, the 100,000 army of Goguryeo collapsed and the troops were insufficient, so even the deserters were used, which is also normal." ”

After hearing this, he smiled and said: "Third brother, you see their military flags, they are all the original ones, if it is mixed, they will not use the original military system, but will disrupt the deserters and scatter them into the troops defending the city, in my opinion, they are going to use these deserters to defend this castle fortress, and in the distance in Pyongyang City, it seems that these deserters are also these deserters." ”

Lai Hu'er turned his head to look at the silent Wang Shichong: "General Wang, what do you think about this?" ”

The corners of Wang Shichong's mouth hooked, in the past three days, the Sui army has been like a bamboo, continuously breaking through the resistance of a small group of Goguryeo troops, and successfully hitting the city of Pyongyang, smoothly even he himself can't believe it, seeing that the enemy capital is in sight, the shadow in his heart is getting heavier and heavier, no matter what, he doesn't believe that Goguryeo will really be captured and waiting for the Sui army to attack the city.

Wang Shichong glanced at Zhou Fashang, who was also silent on the side, and said: "Great marshal, when Goguryeo's defeated army came to defend such an important fortress the day before yesterday, the general thought that there must be deception, and he should not be careless. ”

Lai Hu'er hooked the corners of his mouth disdainfully: "General Wang, this marshal knows that you have always been steady and cautious, but this time I feel that you are too cautious, this mountain fort is the highest point to control Pyongyang, as long as it occupies this place, every move of the defenders in the city can be seen at a glance, and even catapults can be arranged here to directly bombard the walls of Pyongyang City, even if the Goguryeo people have any conspiracy, it is impossible to joke about this." ”

Xu Gai, who was standing behind him, also echoed: "The last general also came to the marshal's opinion, thinking that the Goguryeo army was insufficient, and in the troops brought by Gao Jian that day, in addition to tens of thousands of elites, many of them were temporarily convened rabble, it can be seen that our army crossed the sea, and the enemy was caught off guard, and finally put together a hundred thousand troops and handed them over to Gao Jian to defend the beach line, but I didn't expect the army to collapse in a few days, and now Gao Yuan has not many troops in his hands, even if there are tens of thousands of imperial forest troops left, they must defend Pyongyang City and the palace, The fortress outside the city can only be defended by these defeated troops. ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "The last general still feels that there is fraud in it, and our army is still camped on this plain, waiting for the follow-up army, while observing the situation." ”

Lai Hu'er waved his hand: "General Wang, now is the time when our army is victorious and the momentum is flourishing, and the enemy army is newly defeated and demoralized, you look at their sergeants, crying bitterly, there is no fighting spirit at all, it is the time when our army is full of strength to take this Lianshan Fort fortress, if it is delayed, wait for the enemy's reinforcements and King Qin's troops to arrive, this battle will not be easy to fight!" ”

Speaking of this, a cold glint flashed in Laihu'er's eyes: "Pass my general's order, the army will go forward and storm the Goguryeo military camp, the archers are in front, after fifty rounds of bow and arrow attacks, the long lance soldiers smashed the outer fence of the enemy camp and forcibly attacked, and the horse army protected on both flanks to defend against the enemy's sneak attack." ”

Zhou Fashang, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Dashuai, I think it's better to be careful, now the enemy army has set up camp after all, and the archers at the head of the city can also help in the battle, and this is the plain, it is easy to ambush a large number of enemy cavalry in the hills and dense forests behind the mountain, if our army storms Lianshan Fort and the enemy desperately resists, it is easy to be surrounded by the enemy. ”

Lai Hu'er raised his eyebrows: "Deputy Marshal Zhou, the order of the commander has been issued, and it cannot be changed, if you think there is anything wrong, take your headquarters soldiers and horses, and respond later, and the commander will personally supervise the battle." When he said this, he didn't look at Zhou Fayan, and walked straight off the high platform, five sons and more than ten generals followed closely behind, Xu Gai glanced at Wang Shichong proudly, and also took Xu Shiji to follow, only Wang Shichong and Zhou Fashang remained on the stage without moving.
