While the two were talking, a loud voice suddenly sounded outside the tent: "What person, stop!" ”

Wang Shichong and Wei Zheng immediately stopped talking, Wang Shichong stood up, only to hear a shrill voice outside: "Our family is the inner servant of the Supreme, and I was ordered to invite General Wang to enter the imperial tent to discuss matters, don't report it quickly, if you miss the right thing, see how you take it!" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly, turned his head to Wei Zheng and said: "It seems that our Supreme has also heard the forcible crossing plan reported by Yu Wenkai and Mai Tiecane, and is going to convene the generals to discuss, I will go over, in a few days, let's watch a good show!" ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "I can't wait now!" ”

Three days later, the Liao River was already in time.

Today's weather is very good, early is the red sun volley, although the temperature is still very low, but the sky is cloudless, even the biting north wind of the previous few days has disappeared, on the front of the Liao River ten miles wide, tens of thousands of Sui troops have been in the army as a unit, listed three huge phalanxes, the armor of the warriors reflects the dazzling sunlight, and the white breath exhaled from the mouth gathers together, as if three dragons are swallowing clouds and spitting fog.

On a huge newly built platform about five miles away from the Liao River, Yang Guang sat under a huge yellow umbrella with a smile on his face, and beside him, dozens of high-ranking officials, civil and military generals, stood left and right, all of them stretched their necks and stood on tiptoe, looking at the front line of the Liao River in the distance.

Originally, Yang Guang wanted to watch the battle by the river, but Wang Shichong reminded him that there may also be catapults and heavy ballistas similar to those of the Sui army in the Goguryeo army, with a range of up to five or six hundred steps, which immediately made Yang Guang's arrogance disappear. After several measurements. The viewing platform was still set up in this place five miles from the river. Security is much safer, but the soldiers on the front line can't see that their emperor is behind their backs, and their morale has weakened a lot.

Yang Guang obviously realized this, hooked the corners of his mouth dissatisfied, and said, "What's going on with these soldiers in front. If you don't shout or shout, don't you have to shout loudly before the charge, and the drums and trumpets will shake the sky to boost morale? ”

Yu Shiji had a smile on his face and said, "Your Majesty, I think the soldiers of the former army are observing the terrain, thinking about tactics, and then killing the Liao River in one fell swoop." ”

Pei Yun laughed: "The ministers don't see it that way, I think they probably want to stop and not attract the attention of the Goguryeo army." So quietly cross the Liao River. ”

The words of these two laymen made Yang Guang frown when he heard it: "The two Aiqing really don't understand military affairs, and now our army has put on such a big formation by the river." The attack formations are all lined up, and the Goguryeo people are not dead, how can they not see it? ”

Yu Shiji and Pei Yun's sycophants were not filmed, but they showed timidity, even if this cheek had already been cultivated to the point that King Kong was not bad, it was inevitable that they would blush slightly, and they laughed at themselves and retreated.

Yang Guang's head turned to the right, looked at Yuwen Shu, who was standing in the first place on the right, silent, and said, "General Yuwen, what do you think?" ”

Yuwenshu shook his head and said: "Back to Your Majesty, according to Weichen, I am afraid that our army's confidence is insufficient, and the morale has not reached the maximum, and the outcome of this battle is really unpredictable." ”

Yang Guang's brows furrowed, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "What is the reason for this?" General Yuwen, didn't you mobilize with the sergeants a long time ago, why are they still not confident? ”

Yu Wenshu shook his head: "The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, our army is a strong attack in this battle, and there is no opportunism, so no matter what the final result is, the 40,000 elite soldiers who took the lead in crossing the river are afraid that less than half of them can survive, and the sergeants are also very aware of this, so they are now a little uneasy and lack of morale." ”

Yang Guang's eyes widened, and he said, "So, everyone here, is there any better way to stimulate morale?" Why don't I give an order now, raise the reward, and be the first to climb the opposite riverbank, be a general, and reward a million dollars? ”

Yu Wenshu's eyes lit up, and he said: "Your Majesty, under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, this move will greatly stimulate the morale of our army, and Weichen will send someone to give His Majesty's will." ”

Yang Guang laughed and said to a little eunuch beside him: "Guo Fu, why don't you give an order soon?" ”

Wang Shichong had been listening quietly, but suddenly said: "Your Majesty, by all means! ”

A hint of surprise flashed on Yang Guang's face: "General Wang, why not?" ”

Wang Shichong stood out from the end of the team unhurriedly, saluted, and said: "The army is all men, masculinity is the supreme, Your Majesty's close attendants are all clean fathers-in-law, yin is quite heavy, Yu Chunyang's military spirit is not compatible, now the soldiers are about to go desperately, if you send your father-in-law to pass the decree, I am afraid it will break the masculinity in the army, and it will be unfavorable to the war." ”

Yang Guang let out an "oh" and nodded: "I am negligent about this, General Wang, why don't you go to the front army to give orders?" ”

Wang Shichong hurriedly saluted and said, "I will obey Your Majesty's holy decree." ”

Got off the high platform, Wang Shichong stepped on his own fine Tuyuhun lion Qingtianma, galloped towards the front-line position, the time of today's general attack is scheduled to be three quarters, originally the smuggling attack at dawn in the early morning is the best choice, but Yang Guang said that it was too dark at that time, he couldn't see the battle situation, he had to change to force the crossing in the daytime with a good line of sight, and no matter how many soldiers' lives had to be sacrificed for him to see it clearly, before the moment of this general attack came, Wang Shichong wanted to convey this order, no matter what, Such a high reward can stimulate the morale of the former army, and maybe under such a heavy reward, there will really be brave men who will not hesitate to rush into battle.

After the Sui army's 30,000 troops, hundreds of giant catapults with a height of two or three zhang have been lined up, these torsion trebuchets represent the highest technology of the Sui Dynasty now, all of which were designed and supervised by the master craftsman Yu Wenkai himself, relying on the Youzhou giant trees that were transported from the rear and hugged by two or three people, in a few days, in addition to building three sectional pontoon bridges, these hundreds of giant catapults were also built.

Mai Tiecane will be robed and armored, sitting on a high platform a mile away from the river, this high platform is half shorter than Yang Guang's imperial platform, but built here, it is enough to see the ten-mile battle line in front, behind him, Fei Qingnu and Mai Mengcai stand left and right, Fei Qingnu's arms hold a big flag with the word "order" written on it, as long as a wave, the three Sui military formations in front will converge into three iron streams, step across the Liao River, and rush to the east bank!
