Chapter 1104: Marching into Pyongyang
Gao Yuan nodded: "Da Zheng Lu, you continue to say, the Sui army is so hateful, looting and burning everywhere, it is precisely for this reason that Lone feels that he can't let them in, otherwise the great rivers and mountains of our country will be ravaged by it, after all, this is where our royal capital is located, the treasury is concentrated, and the products are abundant, if the Sui army is brought in, it will hurt the vitality and foundation of the country, especially the granary and treasury in Pyongyang City, and Lone still has to use them to reward and compensate the soldiers and people in the war, how can the Sui people come in?" ”
Yizhi Wende put away his smile and said: "King, please listen to Weichen, the Sui people's fighting spirit comes from the plunder after the victory, which can be best verified from the battle situation after the death of Prince Jian today, after the defeat of our army, it was the best opportunity for the Sui army to chase and kill with cavalry and annihilate in one fell swoop, but after those Sui troops entered the camp, they did not quickly go out of the village to pursue, but turned up the military salary and reward given by the king to Prince Jian in the village, and they didn't even care about chasing and killing our deserters. It can be seen that the Sui army, from soldiers to generals, are all robbers who see money, and they don't want their lives first, which provides us with excellent fighters. ”
Cui Nan Bo understood a little, and said with a smile: "Yizhi Da to Lu, are you going to deceive the enemy on the battlefield and lure the enemy army into being fooled?" Just now I was excited, I didn't think it through, and I offended you, so please forgive me. ”
Yizhi Wende smiled and waved his hand: "Lord Cui is loyal and brave, this is a court discussion, all kinds of opinions can be taken out for discussion, all for the sake of state affairs, the old man will not go to his heart." ”
Gao Qianhui continued to ask: "But Lianshan Fort is the fortress of our army, and on that peony peak, you can overlook the entire Pyongyang City. Status is extremely important. If this place is lost. It will be extremely difficult for our army to defend the city, and even if it is defeated, we can't lose this place. ”
Yizhi Wende put away his smile and said: "The purpose of our army this time is to eliminate the elite main force of the Sui army in a battle, at least to make it completely lose the ability to attack, and Laihu'er is not a mediocre general, although arrogant." But if we can judge the situation, if we do too much to show a real rout, we will not be fooled to protect our children. ”
The corners of Cui Nan's mouth hooked: "However, even if we want to lure the enemy, is it necessary to introduce them into the city, lure them down from the mountains, leave the strong camp, and in the plain area, we will send cavalry to charge and kill." If you send arrows to defend the city, you can also win a big victory. ”
Etozhi Wende shook his head: "No." Master Cui, you haven't really seen the Sui army, they are well-equipped, ironclad lance, even on the flat ground, as long as they maintain the formation, they can still fight in formation, judging from the battle report of the first battle of the Liaohe River, our army's Liaodong iron cavalry can not break through the defense of the Tiefang formation of the Sui army that has just landed, this is also what I have seen with my own eyes, even if the cavalry is dispatched, I am afraid that it will not be annihilated on the flat ground as you think, once the Sui army finds the ambush and retreats to the Lianshan Fort fortress on the top of the mountain to defend, then we are self-defeating, Not only will it not destroy the enemy army, but it will also bring great trouble to the defenders. ”
Cui Nannan said unconvinced: "Then can you effectively deal with the enemy army by introducing it into the city?" Lord Yizhi, you also said that the equipment of our army is far inferior to that of the Sui army, even if it is the king's elite soldiers who defend the city, they do not have the long lance and the iron armor and big shield that wrap the whole body like the Sui army, and they can win if they are spread out and fought on the streets? ”
A trace of fierce killing intent flashed in Ezhi Wende's eyes, which stabbed Cui Nan's heart cold, and he unconsciously closed his mouth, only to hear Ezhi Wende's cold voice sound: "Master Cui, the old man has his own clever plan, as long as you follow my plan, you and I are ready to celebrate the victory." ”
Three days later, outside the city of Pyongyang, on the north side, in front of Peony Peak, Lianshan Fort.
A majestic stone castle, standing high on the peony peak, proud of the surrounding dozens of miles, even the entire Pyongyang city, can also be seen at a glance, the castle is not big, more than 100 steps square, but above is the banner is waving, from a distance, thousands of Goguryeo soldiers under the black pressure, with a white cloth belt wrapped around their heads, standing outside the castle, from the west side of the mountain on a passage to the mountain, has been full of horses, antlers, three Goguryeo military villages under the mountain, the arrow tower is full of soldiers, Tens of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers were already nervously guarding the fence, spears or bows and arrows, but their eyes were full of fear, staring at the vast plain to the west.
In the forest on the side of the plain, a few cavalry scouts gradually appeared, wearing the uniforms of the Sui army, with a small flag on their backs, ran out of the forest for a while, and then retreated into the forest, and later, a neat and heavy sound of horses' hooves from far and near, all at once, like tens of thousands of horses' hooves stepping on the ground at the same time, even if it was separated by nearly ten miles of plain, it still made the fence in front of the camp seem to be trembling slightly, and trembling with it was the body of these Goguryeo soldiers like sifting chaff.
A few bright lights flashed in the forest, as if the reflection of the sun shining on the armor, and then the bright light became more and more obvious, and the shaking of the earth became more and more intense, and the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, not very fast, by no means the kind of galloping horses, but it was very firm, very neat, and experienced soldiers could hear it at once, this was a well-trained heavy cavalry marching in formation.
Hundreds of high-headed horses in vests slowly walked out of the forest, the horsemen were wearing iron armor all over their bodies, holding a long lance high in their hands, the sun shone on their armor, shining, the current general, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a bundle of hair covered the door of the head, combed a high knot, the long flowing ponytail hair stood in the middle of the head, fluttering in the wind, is it not the sixth son who came to protect the child, there is the invincible Liulang called to come to the whole? And on the tip of his lance, he is holding the head of a red-eyed and scarred face, his eyes are wide open, and he is not blind to death, which is known as the first warrior of Goguryeo, and his reputation has spread all over the three thousand miles of rivers and mountains.
The three Goguryeo camps guarding at the foot of Lian Castle Mountain were all those soldiers who had escaped from the beach a few days ago, and these people who had escaped from death were frightened and wanted to flee into the fortified city, relying on the wide walls and deep moats of Pyongyang City to defend them, but they did not expect that the big pair of Lu Yizhi Wende, after killing more than a dozen officers who led the escape, sent more than 10,000 deserters to this Lian Castle, 3,000 on the top of the mountain, 10,000 at the bottom of the mountain, and nearly 30,000 other deserters all went to the city to defend. For these people who have lost their fighting spirit and fighting spirit, if it weren't for the ruthlessness of military law, I am afraid that they will all slip away at this time.
