Among the soldiers and horses brought by the lords of the mountain cities, there were at least 12,000 or so, and they were those slave soldiers, and they were the kind of soldiers who had not received much training, and could not even compare with the second-line garrison. The city lords brought it over with the intention of taking an extra share of the loot when the time comes.

And those private soldiers of the noble lords, how can he, the king of the northwest, not know. Under his years of weakening, there were not many private soldiers of those noble lords. The Tayuan clan is the largest tribe in the Goguryeo Kingdom, and there are only 10,000 elite soldiers and horses.

How many soldiers and horses can those tribes that have been beaten by him for many years, dozens of small lords, hundreds of large lords, in short, there is not a single tribe with more than 1,000 private soldiers under his jurisdiction.

But now, in only two days, the tribes have gathered 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry troops, excluding the soldiers and horses left behind by their own tribes. If those 16,000 men were soldiers, it would be hell.

According to his estimates, the sixteen thousand miles, it is estimated that the five thousand cavalry are more reliable at most, and among these cavalry, it is estimated that there are one or two thousand real cavalry, and the rest are estimated to be the infantry of various tribes. As for the 11,000-strong infantry, it must have been all slaves and civilians of all races who were issued weapons and used as infantry.

However, the northwest of Goguryeo has always been a frontier, and there are large and small wars every year, and the various tribes living here have always been fierce. Even ordinary tribesmen are not much different from a warrior when they take up arms. This time he went to ambush the Sui army, and he didn't expect to rely on all these people.

At that time, as long as he takes tens of thousands of elite horses and horses to raid and disrupt the Sui army's men and horses, and then there are tens of thousands of people, even if they are fishing in troubled waters and bluffing, they can still be of great help to him. Moreover, if Gao Jianwu also led his troops to come at that time, the side with more soldiers and horses would naturally be able to share more merits and spoils.

"You bring people to send some wine and meat to the city lords of the mountain cities and the lords of the tribes, and say that the marshal thanks you for coming in time, let them have a good night's rest tonight, and early tomorrow morning, the whole army will set off and rush to the Liaohe battlefield designated by King Rongliu."

After the subordinate general left, Yuan Taizuo turned to the Jinshan City guard on the side, and his uncle Yuan Gaitong said, "Uncle, this battle is also a great opportunity for our clan. As you can see, the lords of various tribes have brought many clansmen to pretend to be soldiers, wanting to get a piece of the pie, and our tribe naturally can't miss such an opportunity. Now we have 56,000 men and horses, uncle, you immediately gather your tribesmen and slaves from the tribal estates and pastures near Jinshan, and give them weapons, even if they don't have armor weapons, even if they just send a knife, you can recruit as many as you can, and if the number is not enough, you can gather people from the tribes close to us. It is best to gather about 20,000 or 30,000 strong men, and then divide the work according to the number of people and horses, and naturally we will account for the most. ”

Yuan Gaitong is also a stout man who is almost fifty, and when he heard his nephew's idea, he laughed a few times, "It seems that the eldest brother asked you to manage the affairs of the clan, and it is true." You are not bad at all compared to the eldest brother, and in a few years, you will definitely be able to take over your father's position as the eldest pair of Lu, and our Yuan clan will definitely be able to stay the first clan in the kingdom. ”

Under the city of Jinshan, Yuan Taizuo gathered 30,000 soldiers and horses, nearly 50,000 strong men of various tribes, and the total number of men and horses reached 80,000, known as 100,000. With 80,000 soldiers and horses, they rushed to the Liao River section of the retreat route of the Sui people designated in Gao Jianwu's military order.

On the same day as them, Chen Kefu in Liaodong City also ordered the army to cook food on the fourth watch and set off on the fifth watch. …,

Chen Kefu received information from the Liaozhong captives that there were about 30,000 soldiers and horses in the northeast of the Liao, and he predicted that after eliminating the defensive troops, the Liao people might send about 20,000 to 25,000 soldiers and horses. In this regard, the generals of the Liaodong Army believed that it should be possible to dispatch three divisions and nearly 40,000 horses. After all, they are going to fight ambush warfare, and there are too many people, but it is not necessarily the best.

However, after the ambush of Liaodong City, such a plan did not work. With more than 50,000 horses and many people to help, he ambushed more than 20,000 Liao troops in the big city of Liaodong, and finally fought very hard. Moreover, the 20,000 Liao people, according to the news in the situation, are one level lower than the soldiers and horses in Fuyu City.

Finally, at the summary meeting after the ambush battle that day, everyone revised the plan for the Liaohe ambush battle. According to the latest plan, all the soldiers and horses in Liaodong City were dispatched, and Liaodong City was defended by 1,000 gendarmes of the Military Police Division of Chen Qingtong, deputy commander of the First Division, to defend the four cities and all the key parts of the city, and all the policemen of the Police Department of the General Police Department took over the management of the city's security and prisoners of war, and dispatched Sui soldiers and civilians to assist in the defense, until half a day after the whole army set off, Hu Hai's Third Division returned to Liaodong after the material population of Ma Zhu'an City and other cities returned to Liaodong to take over the defense of the whole city.

After another departure, the officers and men of the Fifth Division of Xincheng will also join the army and rush to the ambush battlefield together, leaving only a small number of men and horses in the four cities of Xincheng, waiting for Hu Hai's Third Division to return to the defense and divide the troops to take over.

The five divisions of the Northeast Army, as well as the independent light cavalry regiment, the independent reconnaissance regiment, the engineer battalion, the medical battalion, and other soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of the headquarters were all dispatched, and the first heavy infantry brigade of the reserve and the second heavy cavalry brigade of the reserve will also be dispatched, with a strength of 70,000 troops, and 30,000 strong men from the civilian battalion will be transferred to accompany the army, with a total of 100,000 men and horses.

It can be said that this shows the re-revelation of the entire Liaodong Army from Chen Kefu to the generals, and also shows that everyone has some worries about this ambush battle. This is not an ambush battle in Liaodong City, this is a field battle, and at that time they will not have a tall city wall to surround the Liao, and they will have to rely on these recruits to besiege the Liao.

Although the generals expressed some concern about the battle, no one proposed to abandon the ambush war. Everyone understands that ambush warfare, although somewhat risky, is the best way to defend at the moment. The best defense is to attack, strike first, and break each one. Instead of waiting for the Liao people to gather people little by little, they will be controlled by others at that time.

If the recruits can't win such an ambush battle full of advantages, then it is estimated that it will not be much better if it is replaced by a hard-to-hard defense battle at that time. Although there was a strong city to rely on in the defense of the city, it was equivalent to losing the tactical advantage, and they would definitely have to face the Liao people who had an advantage over them in terms of strength.

This battle is imperative

Fortunately, according to the time calculation, Chen Kefu's Northeast Army will arrive about a day earlier than the Liao, and then they will be able to rest fully and wait for work. All said that the odds of victory here are still very big, and this time Chen Kefu also made an old book, bringing 70,000 soldiers and horses, 30,000 people, all kinds of catapults, crossbow beds, etc., he didn't believe that the 30,000 Liao people could fly to the sky.

Jinshan, near the middle of the Liao River, is only a day and a half away from Liaodong City, and two days away from Jinshan City. Liaodong is mountainous, this Jinshan is a big mountain range, undulating mountains, a few people and horses can also cross the mountain, if you want the army to pass through, you must pass through a place, that is, Jinshan Canyon.

There are several passages from Liaodong City to Liaoshui, but there is only this one passage from Jinshan City to Liaoshui. This is also an ambush battlefield that Chen Kefu and others chose after thinking about it for a long time.

The Jinshan Gorge is more than 50 miles long, the terrain is relatively open, and it cannot be regarded as a very steep place, but if it is an ambush war, it can add a lot of advantages to the Liaodong Army than the plain war. Originally, there was a Jinshanwei built by the Liao people, but in the Sui army's three expeditions to Liao, three were built and three destroyed, and it had already become a ruin. …,

After Chen Kefu joined the soldiers and horses of Xincheng, he led his troops to Jinshan Gorge without stopping, and after arriving at the canyon, Chen Kefu hurriedly summoned the generals to assign combat tasks according to the previous battle plan.

In order to prevent the vanguard sentinels of the Liao people from detecting their soldiers and horses, Chen Kefu sent the whole regiment of the reconnaissance regiment early to reconnoiter within a hundred miles of the Jinshan Gorge.

In order to be more safe, on the night of the arrival of the army, Chen Kefu ordered that all the officers and men of the army should not light fires or make noise, and should eat prepared dry food.

In the temporary command headquarters at the foot of a mountain, Chen Kefu and other generals at or above the regimental level in the army made the final and first deployment.

"Guo Xiaoke led 4,000 cavalry from the Second Heavy Infantry Brigade of the Reserve, Luo Lin led 2,000 cavalry from the Independent Light Cavalry Regiment, Shen Guang led the cavalry reconnaissance battalions of the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Divisions with a total of 2,500 cavalry, and Lu Shishen led the cavalry battalions under each regiment in the 6th Division, with a total of 12,000 cavalry from 24 battalions, and a total of more than 20,000 cavalry from all units were deployed in the Dongling of the Jinshan Gorge. When all the Liao soldiers and horses entered the Jinshan Gorge, they took the lead in leading the army to attack, cut off their retreat, disrupted the Liao formation, and divided their soldiers and horses. The unit was commanded by General Li Benlei"

"Order the generals Mao Yi, Chen Feng, Chen Lin, Chen Gui, Chen Shan, and Cui Shi to lead the 1st, 2nd, and 63rd Divisions, 27 infantry battalions of 14,000 people, to deploy in the valley to the north, and when the attack is launched, attack from the north of the Jinshan Gorge, block the enemy's advance, and advance to attack the Liao soldiers. The department is commanded by Mao Yi, commander of the 1st Division"

"Li Shimin and Li Xuanba led 6,000 heavy infantry from the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Heavy Infantry Brigade of the Reserve, Zhang He, Liu Tiezhu, Zhang Biao, Wang Bin, Chen Fu, He Dayong, and 9,000 people from 18 infantry battalions of the 4th and 5th Divisions. The two groups of men and horses, totaling 15,000 light and heavy infantry, were amazed on the south ridge in the middle of the canyon, and as soon as the attack was launched, they immediately rushed straight to the center of the Liao army, cutting off the entire Liao army from it, so that they could not care about each other. The ministry is commanded by Liu Tiezhu"

"Order Chief of Staff Li Jie to command all the men and horses of the engineer battalion and the medical battalion, and command 30,000 strong men, carry trebuchets, ballistae and other large equipment, hide in the valleys on both sides, and attack the enemy's array with trebuchets and ballistae as soon as the attack is launched."

The commander personally led the rest of the cavalry of more than 20,000 people, carried drums and horns, collected the flag, and climbed Beishan as the general reserve of the whole army. All the generals and soldiers must work hard to hear the drums and march into a battle and succeed."

The generals of the regiment on both sides of the tent were busy in two formations, bowed their heads to receive orders, and answered loudly, "We respectfully respect the commander's order"
