As soon as Gao Ming's words came out, the faces of everyone in the city changed. Yes, the four cities of this new city have been lost, if the Sui army does not retreat, then there will be the Sui Dynasty Liaodong camp in the west, and the Sui army in the east will cut off their way back. In addition, now that the troops in the city have suffered casualties, it is already a crisis to stay here.

"Lord Wang, why don't we break through according to the previous plan? Now that the Ulchi has been defeated, Pyongyang's soldiers and horses still have to deal with the Sui Dynasty's naval division, and it is impossible for any more soldiers and horses to support us. Looking at the formation of the cavalry under the city, they are waiting for the rain to retreat and attack the city, it is estimated that the Sui army has guessed the reality of my Liaodong City. Lord, retire the army, now even Yizhi has been defeated by the Sui army, if the prince is not here, who else can I rely on in Goguryeo! ”

Gao Jianwu turned his head to Hu Sizheng and said coldly, "Didn't you tell me that the Sui army would definitely retreat?" Why don't you leave? ”

Hu Sizheng also didn't expect that Goguryeo was already in such a critical situation, with less than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the whole country, and only 10,000 in Liaodong City. I can't help but regret coming here a little in my heart, I originally wanted to escape here first, and then I wanted to have the opportunity to go back to the Central Plains to run Yang Xuangan, but now it seems that this Goguryeo is about to be unable to be saved.

"Lord Wang, the reason why this Sui army did not retreat is because of the heavy rain in the sky, this is really an accident."

Gao Jianwu looked at the cavalry of the broken military camp who were still showing off their might under the city, and his heart was cold.

"Gao Ming, you prepare, tonight when you wait for the third watch, I will wait to break through the city, bypass the new city, and go directly to the domestic city. Now we have to find a way to retreat to the inner city and try to maintain the situation in front of us, so that we can have time to recruit soldiers and recover our forces in a short time. ”

Gao Ming heard that Gao Jianwu was finally willing to withdraw, and said happily, "Okay, the last general will go to prepare immediately, and then the whole army will break through." Fortunately, in this rain, the Sui people could not attack the city. Lord, what should I do with this Han man? Such an important thing has not been said until now, this person is deliberate, and the Han people can't be trusted, kill him. ”

When Hu Sizheng heard that his life was about to be guaranteed, he knelt down in fright and said, "Lord Wang, I really didn't mean to, I just thought that Lord Wang already knew." I beg the prince to spare my life, I will definitely be able to help provide the prince with information about the Sui Dynasty, which will be of great help to the prince. ”

Gao Jianwu looked at Hu Sizheng for a while, raised his hand and shook it, "Although I only told this king the news now, it is better than nothing, otherwise this king is very likely to fall into the new city occupied by the Sui army without knowing it." I'll forget about it, but if there is any important news in the future, I must inform this king immediately. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, definitely, villain." At this time, Hu Sizheng no longer had half of the backbone of the Han people, and was just a despicable minion.

Gao Jianwu saw that Gao Ming was leaving, and said busily, "Remember, all the things that can't be taken away are all prepared with firewood and grass, and they will be burned with fire at that time." It must not be left to the Sui people, and not a single horse grass can be left. ”

Gao Jianwu's face was full of worry now, the herald he sent out had been more than a day, but no one had come back until now. Thinking that Xincheng and other cities had fallen into the hands of the Sui people, he couldn't help but be very worried. In case this herald was captured by the Sui people, then the reality of Liaodong City would be completely exposed to the eyes of the Sui people.

If the Sui army immediately attacked the city, then they would not be able to break through even if they wanted to. But at this time, he had no choice but to pray in his heart that these people would not be caught by the Sui army, and that even if they were caught, they would be loyal to Goguryeo and not tell the information here.

In the camp of the Sui army in Liaodong, Chen Kefu went to the camp again early in the morning, and then went to the weapon camp of the craftsman battalion, and now all the craftsmen here are moving. According to Chen Kefu's order, they will reprocess the current two thousand horse swords in a short period of time.

After the processing and transformation, the length of the sword will be doubled, from the previous five-foot long sword to a sword nearly one zhang long. For this kind of processed long sword, it can no longer be called a horse chopping sword. The general gave a new name, Modao.

According to Chen Kefu's idea, the Mo knife is a two-edged long knife that weighs about twenty catties, and when it is replaced by the weight of later generations, it is more than twenty catties. The total length will reach about three meters, the handle is nearly one meter long, and the blade is two meters long. This will definitely be a unique weapon for hoplites. ,

However, the current two thousand horse-cutting swords don't have time, and secondly, he doesn't want to change them, so he will use them first. However, the original handle has been lengthened. The original chopping horse sword was five feet long, and the hilt was no more than a foot long, Chen Kefu ordered the craftsman to keep the blade unchanged, but the handle was four feet longer, so that it was also a weapon of Zhang Yu. But in this way, the weight is also a lot lighter, but the blade is about a foot shorter, and the power is also smaller.

Originally, Chen Kefu was still a little worried, such as the Mo Dao, and the craftsmen of Sui Ying couldn't make it. Who knew that he roughly compared it, and the craftsman didn't care about it, which was just a trivial matter. According to his words, the material of this kind of Mo knife will be relatively demanding, and the method of creating it will also have to carry out a series of special treatments such as charburization. But for the Sui Dynasty, a country that has been fighting for many years, they have these technologies and materials. And there are these in the big camp at the moment, and all kinds of materials are transported in large quantities for this expedition to Liao, and there is naturally no shortage of these materials needed by these weapon craftsmen.

After Chen Kefu heard this, he was really ecstatic. This Yang Guang left these folk craftsmen to him, and he really left a gold mountain for him. The craftsmen who accompanied the army were all high-level talents from all over the country, and if he was to find these people by himself, he didn't know who would want to follow him. But Yang Guang just said a word, and all craftsmen from all over the country followed. But now it's good, it's all cheap.

Chen Kefu happily waved his big hand and promised, "As long as he can really make the kind of Mo knife that is resistant to slashing and will not be deformed, and can be extremely sharp, then he will definitely not be stingy, and everyone will be rewarded." And at that time, it was ordered that in the future, the food standards of these craftsmen would be raised, and beef and mutton would be supplied every day, so that they could have more strength to build these weapons.

It is still technology and good materials to build the Mo knife, and so many craftsmen are not all weapon craftsmen, and Chen Kefu asked those who build armor to create heavy infantry armor, which also gives a lot of benefits. For a while, the artisan camp suddenly became lively, and it was so lively.

Luo Lin squeezed into Chen Kefu's ear and whispered, "General, General Li Benlei over there in Xincheng has an urgent report, and he has also escorted more than a dozen Liao people. Now people are in the big tent, waiting for you to pass. ”

As soon as he heard the news from Xincheng, Chen Kefu immediately became serious, "Okay, let's go over immediately." ”

When they arrived at the camp tent, there were more than a dozen cavalrymen who broke the barracks, all of whom were old subordinates who knew each other, and everyone was covered in mud at this time. In addition to them, there were also a dozen or so Goguryeo people in the camp who were also muddy, all dressed in civilian clothes, but at this time they were all tied up in their accounts.

As soon as he saw Chen Kefu coming in, the leader immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Report to the general, we will follow the general's order to enter the new city with General Li Benlei." Yesterday, not long after we arrived in Xincheng, a group of about 100 Liao people rushed to Xincheng. Discovered by our rangers outside the city, Lord Li Benlei led us to surround him, and in a battle, he killed dozens of people and captured more than ten people. After General Li found a sign from them that they were going to transfer troops and horses near Xincheng, he immediately asked the last general to bring people over. General, this is a letter from them. ”

As he spoke, he took out a few letters from his body, and put a few more tokens on the table in front of Chen Kefu.

Chen Kefu took it out and opened it to take a look, and he could understand all the Chinese characters. Although there are many letters, the content is almost the same. It is said that there was a rebellion of nobles in the Sui Dynasty, and now the Sui army will inevitably withdraw within three days, so several major city lords near the new city of Liaodong City were ordered to transfer all the soldiers and horses in the vicinity to set up an ambush on the edge of the Liaoshui under the command of Gao Qi. When the Sui army crossed halfway, they and the Goguryeo army pursuing in Liaodong City raided the Sui army on both sides, and completed their battles in one feat, repeating the victory of Sashui.

After reading it a few times, Chen Kefu was also taken aback, according to the letter, Gao Jianwu, the defender of Liaodong City, definitely knew about Yang Xuangan's rebellion, so he could deduce that the Sui army would withdraw within three days.

After reading the letter, Chen Kefu said to Luo Lin, "Immediately send an order to the generals above the battalion team, and the generals above the battalion level of the fifth and sixth divisions to come over, and ask them to come over immediately, and ask for an urgent military situation." ”

After finishing speaking, he felt that there was something missing, and after reading the letter again, he summoned Luo Lin and said, "You immediately select fifty people from my guard, and let them immediately bring my letters, chase after Your Majesty's army, and deliver my urgent report to Your Majesty." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly wrote another letter informing him of the situation here. Although Yang Guang has withdrawn his troops for more than a day now, it stands to reason that the army should have passed through Liaoshui, but since he knows the news, he still has to tell Yang Guang. Otherwise, if someone talks about this in the future, he will be guilty of deceiving the king.

After reading these letters again, Chen Kefu couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect that the defenders in the city still didn't know that the new city had already fallen. In this way, there is definitely an opportunity here, but what to do, he hasn't thought about it for a while.

"Come on, take these Goguryeo people down and interrogate them separately, I want to know the situation in Liaodong City immediately, including the generals in the city, the troops in the city, and the materials in the city, everything they can know, I want to know. Go quickly, remember to interrogate them separately, and then compare them with confessions, I will allow you to torture, as long as you don't kill people. Tell them that if they surrender, I will definitely treat them favorably and tell them about Gaoqi. Go for it! ”

"Yes, General." Chen Kefu's personal guards came up and dragged the more than ten Goguryeo people out like dead dogs.
