Chapter 142: Crossing the River (1)

Because of Li Xian's advice, Xue Shixiong, the general of the Zuo Imperial Guard, personally led his men and horses to inspect the upper reaches of the Sashui River, and happened to encounter the Goguryeo people who were storing water, and the two sides fought a fierce battle. When the Goguryeo were repulsed, Xue Shixiong sent someone to inform Yuwenshu of the news that the Goryeo were preparing to use Sashui to intercept the army, and he himself led people to station upstream to prevent the Goryeo from building a levee to store water again.

It seems to be a very simple thing, but Li Xian knows that it is only because he knows this history that he seems to inadvertently break the Goguryeo people's plan to flood the Sui army. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he happened to know the tactics of the Goryeo people, with the current morale of the Sui army and the current state of the Sui army, the soldiers would not even have the strength to walk. In fact, the soldiers of the Great Sui are now completely relying on a spiritual force to support the battle, the men and horses of the Zuo Imperial Guard are not more than other people with food and grass, in the upper reaches of the Sashui River, more than 10,000 Zuo Imperial Guards and more than 8,000 Goguryeo people fought, lost more than 1,000 people, although more than 2,000 enemies were killed, but they were only repelled and had no spare strength to pursue the total annihilation, if it was placed a month ago, these 8,000 equipment and training were far inferior to the Goguryeo soldiers of the Great Sui Guard, and the left imperial guard was not enough to fill the gaps.

This is helplessness, Xue Shixiong is already worried that if the Goguryeo people rush with twice the force, the current Zuo Imperial Guard can only retreat in embarrassment.

The Sui army retreated on the front foot, and the king of Goryeo, Gao Yuan, announced that his younger brother Gao Jin had committed treason, and Eulji Wendeok was carried into Pyongyang City, and Gao Yuan named him the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, commanding the soldiers and horses of the whole country to fight a decisive battle with the Sui army.

Before this, Yizhi Wende sent people to the upper reaches of Sashui, and wanted to use the power of Sashui to teach the Sui people a lesson, but they didn't expect the Sui people to see through his clever plan. There was no way, Yizhi Wende had no choice but to give up, and instead focused on how to take advantage of the retreat of the Sui army to inflict the biggest blow on the other party. The Goguryeo coalition army that had arrived from various cities and tribes had arrived, with a total strength of no less than 400,000, more than the expeditionary force of the Great Sui.

Knowing that his third brother Yizhi Wenli was killed, Yizhi Wende was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood.

It's just that this person's tenacity is shocking at this time. He was not struck down by serious physical injuries, nor by the fact that his loved ones had died in battle, and he turned all his hatred into the power of revenge, supporting his mutilated body to command the war.

The expeditionary force of the Great Sui has run out of food, and now the spiritual strength that supports them is just two words.

Go home.

From Liu Shilong's arrest of Gao Jin, the king of Goryeo Baoshan, Yu Wenshu had a premonition that he might really lose this time. So he ordered the army to march all night and cross Sasui as fast as possible. Yu Wenshu was glad that the young man named Yan Yun had discovered the conspiracy of the Koreans. Otherwise, if the Goryeo people let the water rush down when the army was halfway through, the outcome can be imagined. But now Yu Wenshu was not happy at all, because the moment he gave the order to retreat, he clearly felt that the soldiers were no longer able to fight. Going home was the belief that supported them to go on, but it was also because of going home that their morale suddenly dissipated at this moment.

The heart is like an arrow, and everyone is in danger.

Yu Wenshu didn't know if such an army still had the fighting spirit to overcome all difficulties in the face of many dangers and obstacles.

With Jing Yuanheng's Zuo Xiaowei as the striker, and Xin Shixiong's Zuo Tun Wei as the striker, the expeditionary force of the Great Sui embarked on the return journey, but at this moment, no one knew what their tomorrow would be like. Will you die in battle, or will you starve?

……

……

Ulzhi Wende gathered the leaders of his tribes and the lords of the cities, and four of his own soldiers carried him before the people. Because he had just learned of Eulzhi Wenli's death, Eulzhi Wende's face was gloomy and his eyes were red. Eulji Wenli is his favorite younger brother since he was a child, and he is also the successor of the family he has cultivated since he was a child. Now, Yizhi Wenli is dead, he is crippled, and Yizhi Wenqing is still struggling in Liaodong City, and I don't know if he is still alive or not, all of this is caused by the Sui people. The hatred in his heart has reached a point where ordinary people can't understand, and he can't wait to grab Yu Wenshu and swallow him one bite at a time.

But Heaven is fair to everyone. Because he instigated Gao Yuan to ignore the summons of the Great Sui Emperor, he provoked the Great Sui Empire's armed conquest. The war cost him a younger brother, a leg, and countless people. This is God's punishment for him, and Eokzhi Wende is powerless to resist anything. But in the same way, because of the arrogance and arrogance of the Great Sui Emperor, because of the Sui people's false benevolence and morality, he angered the heavens, and now the heavens have given the opportunity to Yizhi Wende, and it is no longer the Sui people. Ulchi Wende knew he would win eventually.

"Do you know what you're supposed to do?"

Etozhi Wende's eyes swept over everyone present and asked in a deep voice.

"Command, Generalissimo, please!"

The generals of Goryeo said in unison.

Ezhi Wende nodded slowly and said, "You just need to remember one thing, don't think about anything else." That is to catch up, catch up from all directions, and bite those damn Sui people to death like wolves! Don't stop, don't stop, take out your courage to continue to hunt down the Sui people, I don't have any tactics to tell you, if there is, then it is to hunt down the Sui people regardless of the cost and method, this is the tactic. ”

"Don't stop, the Sui people are finished, even if they can cross the Sashui, but they have no food and can't go far, even if they are all fierce tigers, they are now so hungry that they can't open their mouths and raise their claws. So, don't be afraid of them anymore, now it's their turn to be afraid. Go, children, take your tribal warriors, and use the weapons in your hands to let the Sui people know what price they will pay! The Sui people can't hold on for long, and the place between Sashui and Mazishui for more than 1,000 miles will be the hell of the Sui people! ”

He waved his hand and motioned for his men to set off: "Go!" Kill all the Sui people and make them pay! ”

"Pay the price!"

The hundreds of generals shouted in unison, then turned and walked towards their respective teams. They had come from all over the world to take part in this final battle. Before, the Sui army had crushed them, and now, the time for revenge has finally arrived.

……

……

The Great Sui Expeditionary Force began to cross Sashui in the afternoon, and Yuwenshu sent Xin Shixiong's Zuotun Guard to set up a defense on the bank of the Sashui River to replace the Zuo Imperial Guard's men and horses, in case the Goguryeo people attacked Sashui again. The crossing of the river by 300,000 troops was not something that could be completed in a short time, but fortunately, the current of this section of Sashui was extremely shallow, and even if you didn't need to build a pontoon bridge, you could wade through the water. But even so, because the soldiers were really not physically strong, the speed of crossing the river was not fast.

Under the command of Xin Shixiong, Zuotunwei lined up on the south bank of Sashui.

"What about Yan Yun? Why didn't you see him report for duty? ”

Xin Shixiong asked as he looked around.

Someone said in a low voice: "General Yan Bei will lead his men and horses to maintain the order of the army crossing the river on the opposite bank, and he has sent someone to inform the general before." He said that he was worried about the Goguryeo raid from the north bank, so he crossed the river to join him for the time being. ”

Xin Shixiong nodded, at this time he was not in the mood to care about Li Xian's somewhat rude behavior. The army retreated, and it was impossible for the Koreans not to take the opportunity to pursue and kill. He led an army alone after the death of Mai Tiecane, and he had the least seniority among the generals of the various armies, so it was normal to be excluded by those old foxes, in fact, he had long expected that Yuwenshu would let him break off, but he couldn't think of any reason to refuse. This made him very angry, and he wanted to scold angrily.

"Send someone to tell Yan Yun that after the army crosses the river, we will leave last!"

Xin Shixiong said coldly.

The soldiers responded and hurriedly crossed the river to find Li Xian.

Xin Shixiong looked at the soldiers of the Sui army who crossed the river, and looked at the proud soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion who hung their heads listlessly one by one, and felt infinite sadness in his heart for no reason. Thinking of His Majesty's impassioned speech standing in front of the army before the army crossed the Liaoshui a few months ago, at that time, how high was the morale of the army? In the first battle of Liaoshui, although the old general of Mai Tiezhu was killed, it was precisely because of this that he was able to take over Zuotunwei from Mai Tiecane. At that time, how strong was his fighting spirit? But just a few months later, he felt like an old man in his twilight, with a smell of decay all over his body, and this smell now permeated everyone in the Sui army.

"Send additional ranger scouts, and strictly patrol within a radius of twenty miles!"

Xin Shixiong took a deep breath and then looked away from the soldiers crossing the river.

As he was talking, suddenly three or four horsemen and horses galloped in the distance, shouting something hoarsely as they galloped.

Xin Shixiong listened attentively and immediately changed his face.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Koreans! ”

The cavalry in the distance shouted loudly, it was the scout he had sent out earlier. There was a trilling voice in the shouts, and there was endless fear.

What should have come is still coming.

Xin Shixiong suddenly thought lonely, if he died in battle, he didn't know how the history books would record a note about himself in the future.

"Blow the horn! Zuo Tunwei, prepare to meet the enemy! ”

Throwing off the messy thoughts in his head, Xin Shixiong strode out. Behind him, more than a dozen generals of the Zuotun Guard each had solemn faces, they clenched the horizontal knife hilt at their waists, raised their heads, and looked at the place where the dust and smoke rose in the distance, their eyes were resolute.

……

……

It is said that hundreds of thousands of horses and horses of Goguryeo are surging from all directions, although the Sui army is on guard, but the soldiers are already hungry and have no strength to fight, and the Zuotun Guard, who is responsible for the broken rear, fought with the enemy for more than two hours, repelling no less than ten fierce attacks of the Goryeo, but after all, because they were outnumbered, they gradually retreated back until they retreated to the shore of Sashui. The soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion, who were fighting against the water, failed to create a miracle this time, and in the face of the siege of hundreds of thousands of enemies, they had the intention to kill the thief, but they were powerless to return to the sky.

Yuwenshu ordered Zuo Wuwei's general Wang Rengong to lead the army to support Zuo Tunwei to defend against the enemy, but Wang Rengong deliberately delayed until Zuo Tunwei had retreated to the river, and then immediately retreated under the pretext that there was no place to stand on the bank, and as a result, because the soldiers retreated too panickedly, they were chased and killed by the Goryeo, and there were countless casualties.

In this battle, the Sui army killed more than 30,000 people, and Xin Shixiong, the general of Zuotunwei, died in battle.

Wang Rengong was shot in the shoulder by an arrow, leaving behind the soldiers of Zuo Wuwei, and fled with hundreds of his own soldiers in disarray. At this time, more than 40,000 soldiers, including the left guard, the left guard and the right guard, were encircled.

On the north bank, Li Xian immediately went to the riverside, looking at the tragic scene on the south bank, with a solemn face.
