Swords and guns are like forests, and flags are like the sea.

When Luo Yi led the fierce Turkic light cavalry from Lulongsai and killed the back of the White Wolf City along the ancient road in the river valley in the mountains, and countless feathered arrows poured down like a torrential rain, the Goguryeo people, who had been arrogant since crossing the Liao River, finally felt fear. When the fierce Turkic knights, equipped with the cavalry swords, rope armor, and leather armor of the Great Sui, and equipped with enough feather arrows, what kind of power was that?

They were armed with feathered arrows made of fine bird of prey feathers and steel arrows, which were far heavier and sharper than ordinary Turkic feathered arrows. The steel arrowhead is made into a triangular shape and has strong armor-piercing properties. The Turkic knights, skilled in archery, skillfully opened their bows and arrows on horseback, quickly shot expensive three-edged armor-piercing arrows, and the sharp arrows whistled out and penetrated into the Goguryeo bodies one after another.

Rows of snow-bright sword light rolled up countless blood lights, and on the battlefield in front, Li Jing's banner commander had already waved the command flag, and the cuirassier iron cavalry that had been recuperating behind the armored combat vehicle was finally dispatched. The cavalrymen, dressed in dazzling mirror armor, turned over and mounted their horses, divided into two parts, and went around the formation from the left and right of the chariot formation, slowly accelerated, and rushed towards the enemy formation in a neat formation.

The cuirassier knights drew their cavalry swords on their horses, and the sword light was better than the snow, and the armor was shining brightly.

The chariot array slowly moved forward, squeezing the battlefield space step by step.

Whoever stood in front of them was ∧ crushed into mud and splashed blood everywhere, and the Goguryeo people finally saw the strength of the Sui people, and knew what was called an iron wall and an iron horse. What is a mobile fortress. And what impressed them the most at this time was that they understood the cunning of the Sui people opposite. These Sui troops suddenly left the customs and marched east along the sea all the way. Kill straight to the White Wolf City at the foot of the White Wolf Mountain. The Sui army, which was suddenly killed, only besieged but did not attack at first, and led them to send troops to help. As a result, he was ambushed halfway. If that's all there is, it's nothing. But these shameless Han people, but always hide their strength, and when they sent a large army to come, and finally broke through the interception on the road to the rescue under the White Wolf City, the damn Li Jing suddenly conjured up a lot of soldiers and horses, and surrounded the new soldiers and horses in the White Wolf City. kept slowly retreating, causing the main general in the city to decide to kill the whole army and defeat the Sui army of Li Jing's department in one fell swoop, damn it, another army suddenly appeared behind them.

After suffering a lot of losses and many mistakes, the Goguryeo people, who had always been cautious, were still fooled. They never expected that as early as the beginning of the army, Li Jing sent Luo Yi to lead a group of Turkic elite cavalry to take the ancient road from the north to detour. In the end, when the Goguryeo people in White Wolf City were exhausted and were about to win, they suddenly appeared behind the Goguryeo people.

The Goguryeo people were attacked on their backs.

At this time, even if you want to withdraw to White Wolf City, it is already too late.

The Iron Cavalry advanced like a wall. Cavalry swords and dense horse hooves became a nightmare for the Goguryeo people. There are also the cavalry feathered arrows of the Turkic cavalry that are constantly whistling and flying behind, plus those are extremely thick. Catapults and heavy crossbows are equipped in mobile chariots that are harder than a tortoiseshell. The counterweight catapult can be quickly assembled and disassembled, and has a strong striking power in conjunction with the chariot array. Fist-sized stones. There were even some head-sized stone projectiles that were thrown high and then roared into the Goguryeo army. The middle one is killed instantly. And the eight-ox three-bow crossbow can shoot continuously, and there is even a terrifying crossbow machine that can fire a hundred arrows at a time.

When Luo Yiru appeared behind the Goguryeo people as planned, Li Jing finally had a smile on his face. It's time to end this battle, "blow the horn and attack with all the troops!" ”

Countless crossbowmen began to stand on the chariot, standing behind the chariot, and as the chariot slowly moved forward, they shot arrows in their hands at the Goguryeo people. Catapults and ballistas were also being fired, and spearmen and sword and shield soldiers were firmly guarding the chariots and protecting the moving castle, and the Goguryeo people could only throw corpses at a desperate attempt to storm the chariots.

In just an instant after the two armies flanked, hundreds of Goguryeo warriors had fallen. They live in the bitter cold of Liaodong, and they have always claimed to be the overlords of the East, but right now, they are cold in their hearts. They've never fought a battle like this, a battle that makes people completely desperate.

Gao Ning looked sideways at Gao Wu more than ten zhang behind, the Goguryeo prince's face turned pale, obviously he didn't expect them to finally fall into the trap carefully designed by the Sui people step by step. Gao Ning is still thinking in his heart now, the previous prince, after hearing that the Sui general Li Jing was finally no longer shrunk like a turtle in the tall and sturdy Yuguan, but was willing to go out of the pass to fight. It seems that as soon as the Sui army came out of the pass, he had already become a duck to be slaughtered and his prey. But now that I think about it, it wasn't just Gao Wu who had this attitude at that time, he didn't think that the elite of the Sui people were fighting a civil war in the west, and the current Sui army was just a ragtag army. At that time, he also wanted to come with Gao Wu, and also defeat these Sui troops with Gao Wu, and then make a military feat, maybe even become the first batch of soldiers to enter the Guannai. Even at that time, he was thinking about how much rich loot he could grab and how to make a fortune after entering the customs.

But who would have thought that this Li Jing, who had never heard of his name before, heard that he was only thirty years old, but he was so powerful. And the Sui army that came out of the back, where did they come from?

The troops and horses that rushed to the front just now have been completely routed, and the few troops in the rear have also been routed by the surprise attack.

Li Jing is going to annihilate them in one fell swoop and kill them all.

Xijing, the imperial city, Menxia Province.

In the political hall, the nine chief and deputy prime ministers were all present, and the five chief and deputy privy envoys of the Privy Council were also summoned to the hall to report the latest military situation in western Liaoning to the emperor together.

Yi Feng glanced at the crowd, "Report on the military situation in Liaoxi." ”

Pei Zeng, the Military Intelligence Department of the Supervision Yuan, who was present at the meeting, stepped forward, "Your Majesty, all the governors, the latest military situation in western Liaoning, Li Jing, the marshal of the Yanshan Road March, led his troops out of the customs a few days ago and fought with Goguryeo in White Wolf City. Li Jing first raided all the way to the White Wolf City, and then surrounded it without breaking it, lured the Goguryeo people to send troops to help, and then defeated it halfway. When the Goguryeo people increased their troops to reinforce, they blocked all the way, and finally released Goguryeo reinforcements into White Wolf City. After Li Jing attacked the city and feigned defeat, leading Goguryeo out of the city to pursue, and the two sides fought on the bank of the White Wolf River outside the city. After the Goguryeo army lured away from the city for dozens of miles, Luo Yi led another army to arrive and appeared behind the Goguryeo people, and then the two armies flanked back and forth, and the Goguryeo people were defeated. ”

Pei Zeng's tone was very excited, "In the first battle of White Wolf City, a total of more than 8,000 beheaded, more than 13,000 people were captured, and the White Wolf City was recovered, and more than 20,000 war horses were captured, armor, knives and guns were countless, and tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass were captured. ”

Hearing this good news, all the rulers in the political hall were very happy. Only Yi Feng was frowning, Yi Feng was already mobilizing troops and horses to gather in Youzhou, preparing to recover Yingzhou. But Li Jing ignored his orders and went out to fight without authorization, although he won a battle, but this was a risky act. It is good to win, but if this time it is defeated, then maybe now Yuguan and Lulongsai have been lost, and the Goguryeo people have already entered the pass and galloped into the Hebei Plain.

"Where is Li Jing now?"

"General Li Jing stayed in Yingzhou to guard the White Wolf City, and then he and General Luo Yi led the army to the east along the coast." Pei Zeng replied.

Yang Su brought the map, glanced at it a few times, and said to Yi Feng with a worried expression, "Your Majesty, didn't Li Jingmo want to intercept Gao Yuan's retreat?" ”

"This Li Jing is really bold." Yi Feng had already guessed Li Jing's purpose. He did not lead his troops eastward along the White Wolf Water and went straight to Yingzhou, but instead went all the way east along the Liaoxi Corridor, obviously not to go around to Yingzhou, but to intercept and outflank Gao Yuan. Looking at Li Jing's direction, it is very likely that he is going to Songshan, that is, Jinzhou in later generations, and he is going to defend the Daling River and cut off the passage between Yingzhou and Liaodong City, an important Goguryeo town on the east bank of the Liao River. This place in Jinzhou, near the river and the mountains, is indeed a good place, and it can achieve the goal by seizing here. However, Yi Feng is worried that although the terrain here is good, there is no strong city to rely on, and it is 400 miles away from Yuguan, and the distance from Goguryeo Liaodong City to Jinzhou is also this distance, and Yingzhou is closer to Jinzhou. Li Jing is not going to intercept others, he is sending them to surround them.

"We have to send troops to Liaoxi immediately." The privy envoy Wang Bao expressed his opinion.

"Food, grass, ordnance, etc., are not yet ready." Fan Zigai, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, told the truth.

Yi Feng waved his hand, "I can't wait, Li Jingdu has already led the army to Liaoxi, and it is so deep, it is almost to the Liaohe River." If the imperial court can't follow up immediately, he is in danger of being surrounded and eaten by the lone army. Although I am now eager to immediately remove Li Jing from his official post and remove him from his post, this matter must be put aside for the first time, and the most important thing is to win this battle, and we must not let tens of thousands of troops be lost in Liaoxi. Last year we lost 300,000 people there, and we can't do it again this year. The Privy Council immediately ordered the transfer of troops, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs had to ensure the supply of food, grass and ordnance anyway. ”

"Who will be sent to lead the troops?" Although Wang Bao is a privy envoy, the privy council is in charge of the power to transfer troops, and the power to appoint generals is in the hands of the emperor.

Yi Feng glanced at the three privy deputy envoys, He Ruobi, Han Seng Shou, Shi Wansui, and one deputy envoy Li Jing, but now he was the one who caused trouble and needed reinforcements.

"Han Shuai will take a trip to lead the troops." In the end, Yi Feng ordered Han Sengshou's general, Li Jing is his nephew, I believe he will do his best, and Han Sengshou is also relatively stable in his use of soldiers, and has not been defeated so far. (To be continued......)
