The look on Yang Guang's face was a little better, and he still shook his head: "But, is it possible that General Mai just wants to watch him fall into the enemy formation and not be able to rescue him?" ”

Yuwen Shu pretended to have a loyal look, and said angrily: "The general died in a hundred battles, and the horse leather shroud is the wish of every Sui army soldier to come to Goguryeo this time, in today's situation, our army is no longer able to rescue the department of the Mai Iron Staff, if they can kill a bloody road and rush back to the west bank, it is the best, even if it is not successful, they can kill and injure a large number of Goguryeo troops, deter the enemy, and the next day our army attacks again, they will not be able to stop!" And General Mai chose to stay in the enemy camp and fight to the end, instead of letting the soldiers scatter and flee back to the west bank, which shows that he has put life and death aside to repay the king's kindness, Your Majesty must be considerate of General Mai's good intentions! ”

The muscles at the corners of Yang Guang's mouth twitched slightly, and he sighed: "Alas, it's all because I was in a hurry just now, and I ordered General Mai to personally lead the team to attack, and it was I who harmed General Mai." Decree, if General Mai was martyred in this battle, he was posthumously awarded the title of Shangzhu State, Su Guogong, and three sons, all of whom were rewarded with gifts! ”

Yu Wenshu fell to his knees all of a sudden, and said loudly while kowtowing: "The last general, General Daimai, and his whole family thank Your Majesty for your grace!" And on his face, there was a hint of a wicked smile that had fulfilled his wish, and it disappeared in a flash.

On the high platform, the general of the Goguryeo army, Yuan Taizuo looked solemn, looking at the fierce battle under the stage, in the open space within a radius of three or four miles, the remaining soldiers of the Sui army were less than a thousand, and the corpses of the Sui army around them were piled up into a circular corpse wall, and most of the corpses were full of arrows, and in addition to the nearly 2,000 corpses of the Sui army, there were at least 5,000 corpses of the Goguryeo army. Even the corpses of war horses were two or three thousand. Most of them are gutoctomas. Blood flowed all over the ground, and the dying screams of the wounded soldiers resounded throughout the battlefield.

It has been three hours since the cavalry assault, and this battle has been fought from morning to dusk now, the remnant sun is like blood, but it is not as good as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood on the battlefield, and it is still standing, sticking to the last front, almost more than 1,000 last Sui soldiers with wounds. There is also the big banner with the word "Mai" that has been shot to the ground, but is still stubbornly erected in the center of the Sui army's military formation, but it is still fluttering high in the wind.

Yizhi Wende sighed: "I can't imagine that the combat effectiveness of these Sui troops is so strong, trapped in the heavy armor of my 100,000 army, arrows raining down, iron cavalry rushing to kill, but still able to hold on to the present, not only no one surrendered, but also killed five or six thousand of my soldiers, it is really terrible." If the Sui army is like this wheat iron rod, then my Goguryeo is really in danger! ”

Yuan Taizuo gritted his teeth. said: "That's because there is a wheat iron rod leading them to fight, a soldier bears, a nest of bears, if Sui will be like the two people who put the wheat iron rod on the guard to defend, even if there are millions of male soldiers, I will not take it seriously!" ”

Eulzhi Wende gritted his teeth: "In this way, we can't let the Mai Tie Staff rush out alive, if he doesn't die, I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause to our Goguryeo!" ”

He glanced at the Sui army's formation, even all the archers and crossbowmen picked up their lances and broadswords, prepared for hand-to-hand combat, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the Sui army has shot all the arrows in the front defense, and now there are only long lances left, even if we shoot them with arrows, we can shoot them all to death!" ”

Yuan Taizuo's eyebrows raised, raised his hand, and said, "No, you can't shoot them." ”

Ochi Wendeqi said: "Why? Do you still want to use the flesh and blood of the soldiers to crash into the sea of the Sui army's spear and lance? Why bother? ”

Yuan Taizuo said coldly: "Today's battle situation has really exceeded my expectations, I have calculated everything, and I have not calculated that the Sui army has a warrior like Mai Tiecane, who can boost morale with his own strength, and hit our army so hard, and now the Sui army on the other side of the river will not be able to come over and send it to death, so our army will eat more than a thousand Sui troops, it is only a matter of time, but our army has suffered heavy casualties today, if you don't dare to end the battle with swords and guns in the end, you will only shoot arrows from afar, then you will definitely be demoralized, and then the Sui army will attack again, I'm afraid it's hard to stop. ”

Yizhi Wende nodded: "It turns out that you are thinking about this matter, General Yuan, with all due respect, I am afraid that after today's battle, you will no longer be able to continue to defend this Liaohe defense line." ”

The corners of Yuan Taizuo's mouth hooked slightly, and he was not very surprised, and said lightly: "Is there any reason?" ”

Yizhi Wende breathed a sigh of relief: "In today's battle, although our army wiped out seven or eight thousand Sui troops, and was able to kill their general Mai Tiecane, but so far, the losses of our army are not less than 10,000 people, even if they have made such careful plans and arrangements, and have such favorable terrain, they still suffer such great losses, which can only show one thing, that is, the combat effectiveness of our Goguryeo army is far inferior to the Sui army in front of it." ”

Yuan Taizuo's Adam's apple moved, and he slapped the guardrail in front of him fiercely, but he had nothing to say.

Yizhi Wende continued: "The Sui army is sharp and well-equipped, even if there is no world-famous Sui army Xiaoguo army such armor and cavalry, the bow is strong and the heavy cavalry is to help, only rely on this vanguard infantry, but also iron armor and steel lance, that kind of large infantry crossbow, is not our army has, now we have a geographical advantage, so that the Sui army can not assemble on a large scale, take a great advantage, but if it is on the flat ground, the Sui army set up a formation, like the beginning of the wheat iron staff attack our army camp, with a strong bow and crossbow as the forerunner, The Tiefang side will continue to advance, and then charge and kill with iron cavalry, then our army will be extremely difficult to resist, even if it is defended according to the camp, most of them will not be able to hold it! ”

Yuan Taizuo gritted his teeth and said: "General Yizhi, don't grow the morale of others, destroy your own prestige, our army also has 100,000 people, although the equipment is not as good as the Sui army, but it is also strong and arrows are fast, compared to shooting, it may not fall behind, and my Goguryeo army is good at defense, and the camp is hard to defend, the Sui army may not be able to attack!" ”

Yizhi Wende shook his head: "But now my entire army in Liaodong is gathered on the front line of the Liaohe River, if the Sui army leaves two or three hundred thousand troops to confront me, and then divides the troops to attack and occupy the cities, how can I resist?!" If Liaodong City is lost, the families and relatives of our soldiers will become hostages of the enemy, and I am afraid that the army will collapse without a fight! ”

Yuan Taizuo's eyelids jumped suddenly, this sentence was what he was most worried about, his whole person supported the wooden guardrail in front of him with both hands, the weight of his body pressed the wooden guardrail "squeak" and sounded, the muscles on his face jumped straight, his face was pale, and his eyes were shining, as if he was considering countermeasures.
