Thank you huanyu, HEJIN, and nickname original for your support, thank you!

"Woohoo!"

Three carved arrows are as fast as an arrow, and the three geese in the flock of geese flying in the sky fall one after another, and the rest of the autumn geese are wailing and fleeing.

The whining sound of bull's horns echoed through the mountains, breaking the silence of the mountains, and among the majestic mountains, the panicked howls of wild beasts rose and fell.

A group of cavalry galloped forward, kicking up billowing smoke and dust, the rumbling sound of the road was mixed with the sonorous sound of swords, and the mist spewed out by the war horses flashed countless resolute faces that had been weathered. The mountain wind gusted, tearing the blood-red flag straight, revealing a dignified big character - "Sui".

Li Jing, the privy envoy of the Privy Council and the marshal of the Yanshan Road March, squinted his eyes slightly, looking down on the galloping cavalry on a high slope, watching them hunt in the mountains. Since his troops left Yuguan, they have now traveled more than 400 miles to the east and arrived at Songshan at the southern end of the White Wolf Water. The long-distance gallop of hundreds of miles was to cut off the retreat route of tens of thousands of Gaojuli soldiers and horses in Liucheng, Yingzhou, to the east bank of the Liaohe River. The long-distance Mercedes-Benz not only did not drag them down, but made them more eager to fight that had accumulated in their hearts for a long time.

All the soldiers hoped to intercept and kill the Goguryeo people on the banks of the White Wolf River, annihilate these Donghu who dared to invade the Central Plains, and then return with a triumphant song.

"The general is good at archery, three arrows in a row, the arrows are all hit, the wild ducks in autumn are the most delicious, we have a good mouth tonight." General Li Jing praised Li Jing with a smile.

Li Jingtou didn't reply, "This place in western Liaoning is still very good, and the land is fertile. The prey is abundant, and what is lacking is people. What's missing is the development here. ”

"yes, let's go hunting. In just one day, countless prey has been hunted, which is enough to eat for more than ten days, and even grain and grass do not need to be transported from the rear. No wonder these people outside the fortress are so fierce, they have been fishing and hunting for many years, they have long been accustomed to bow horses, and there are prey everywhere outside this pass, which can be hunted everywhere, and they do not rely too much on logistics to supply food and grass. It is indeed completely different from the war in the Central Plains. One of the soldiers also sighed. On this way, they galloped for more than 200 miles, from White Wolf City to Songshan, and the cavalry and infantry all galloped on horseback, only bringing half a month's worth of grain and grass. But along the way, every day during the march, Marshal Li Jing would let them set up camp and set up a part of the people to hunt, and each time they could easily hunt a large number of prey and catch a lot of fish. As a result, the dry food they carried was hardly touched. When they arrived at Songshan, while the soldiers stepped up to build camps, the cavalry also went hunting every day, so that they now did not need to rely on the grain and grass transport in the rear. On the contrary, a batch of fish and meat was also accumulated, and soldiers were responsible for smoking, roasting or drying it every day, which made it much easier for him, who was in charge of food and grass, to join the army.

"When will the camp arrive?" Li Jing asked.

"Back to Marshal. The sentry came to report that the camp was still a hundred miles to the west. Arrive by noon at the latest. The one who answered Li Jing was the forward general Luo Yi.

The chariot battalion is not only the chariot battalion in the infantry army, but also the baggage team in the baggage battalion. The baggage brigade not only carried a large amount of grain and forage and consumed ordnance. More importantly, it also carried a lot of heavy ordnance, such as crossbows, stone throwers, fire oil and other indispensable equipment for siege and defense. Gao Yuan lost more than 20,000 people in White Wolf City, but they still had at least 50,000 people. If Li Jing wants to intercept them in Songshan, then this battle must not be easy. A makeshift fortified camp was not strong, and these heavy equipment were urgently needed to help defend the camp.

Although the cavalry hunted a lot of prey and did not lack food, a large number of horses in the army did not eat meat, and they needed fodder. Just by letting out to eat grass every day, it is definitely not enough for war horses, war horses must eat feed and concentrate, in order to keep their bodies from losing fat, war horses are much more expensive than people. Without the food of the baggage battalion, they could still hunt and fish in western Liaoning, and without the equipment of the baggage battalion, the engineer battalion could still be temporarily prepared. But without the horse material sent by the baggage operation, their war horses immediately greatly reduced their combat effectiveness.

"What is the movement of the Gao Yuan Department in Liucheng?"

"Gao Yuan is still in Yingzhou, there is no movement, they don't seem to know that we have interspersed here and gone around his back." Li Jing then replied that he had already sent several reconnaissance cavalry teams to keep an eye on the movements of the Goguryeo king's soldiers and horses. However, so far, Gao Yuan in Yingzhou City seems to be still immersed in the defeat of White Wolf City, and he has not noticed this bold move of theirs at all.

"What about Liaodong City, is there any movement?" Li Jing sneered, "How much do you know about the reality of Liaodong City?" ”

"Liaodong City is four hundred miles away from us, and more than six hundred miles away from Yingzhou, and even Yingzhou doesn't know about our movements, so Liaodong City is even more unclear. The latest information given to us by the Military Intelligence Department is that Liaodong City is now guarded empty, Gao Yuan led 80,000 troops across the Liao River, most of which are from the Liaodong City and other city defenders on the east bank of the Liao River, so now Liaodong City is unprecedentedly empty, the defenders are only 8,000, and most of them are old and weak, and the elite have gone to Yingzhou City. Therefore, we don't have to worry that Liaodong City will send troops over, we just need to deal with Gao Yuan's soldiers and horses. Luo Yi replied with a grin.

"Eight thousand old and weak people are guarding Liaodong City, it is impossible for them to dare to go out of the city for four hundred miles to attack us, and the east is already worry-free." Li Jing smiled lightly.

Li Jing didn't laugh, but frowned. He looked at Luo Yi, "Are you sure that now neither Yingzhou nor Liaodong City knows that we have arrived here, and there are only eight thousand old and weak guards in Liaodong City?" ”

"That's true." Luo Yi replied.

Li Jing pressed the saber in his hand, and Ren Shanfeng rolled up the silk cloak and slapped him in the face, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes. A bold plan was formed in his mind, and if it was really like that, it was promising.

"I'm going to change my plan, Songshan will only leave one soldier and horse to guard here, and then I'll take the other soldiers and horses to continue eastward."

"Continue east?" Luo Yi and Li Jing were stunned. They rushed all the way here, and they were already a lone army deep behind enemy lines, far away from Yuguan for more than 400 miles, if they continued to advance eastward, it would be really too risky.

Li Jing was already excited, and he clenched his fist and waved it hard. "That's right, continue eastward. Since the Goguryeo people have not reacted to our presence here, it means that they have not discovered us. And there are only 8,000 old and weak people in Liaodong City. It is the time of extreme emptiness, if we ride lightly and run for a long distance, we can kill Liaodong City before the Goguryeo people can fully react, and we have a good chance to take Liaodong City. ”

Luo Yi and Li Jing were both shocked by Li Jing's plan, and they actually wanted to seize Liaodong City. Liaodong Fortress was originally called Xiangping Fortress, but 190 years ago, the Goguryeo people changed it to Liaodong Fortress after taking Xiangping Fortress.

After the Goguryeo people occupied the city, they managed it with care for nearly 200 years. They had already built a fortress into Liaodong City, making it their most important core in the eastern region. According to the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Department, this fortress city is square, with two walls inside and outside, the inner city is the official office, the outer city is the commercial area, and the outer city has three city gates, the east and west gates are opposite, and the double-storey gatehouse. There are also corner towers, pheasant moats, female walls and other buildings in the city wall. There is also a guard fort in the northwest outside the city, which is heavily defended, and Liaodong City also leads living water around the city wall, becoming a wide moat.

Liaodong City has a long history. It was established during the Qin and Han dynasties, and according to the intelligence obtained by the secret spies of the Military Intelligence Department, this Liaodong city is not one of the mountain cities in Goguryeo that only has the name of the city. It is a real city, and Liaodong City is not only a military fortress. It is even a commercial and trade center on the Liaohe Plain. There are more than 50,000 residents in Liaodong City, and there are more than 20,000 garrisons in peacetime. And that's not counting the large number of itinerant vendors, etc. As the first fortress in Liaodong, the city is always equipped with more than 500,000 stone of grain and grass reserves, as well as a large number of bows, arrows, knives, guns, armor and other equipment.

With such an eastern gateway to Goguryeo, Li Jing actually wanted to run a long distance, which was simply crazy.

Even if you can run to the city of Liaodong by surprise, how can such a fortress with two inner and outer walls be captured? If they can't be attacked, they will be 800 miles away from Yuguan by then, then they will really die without a place to be buried.

Luo Yi felt a little panicked, he thought he was bold, but Li Jing was even bolder than him, and he couldn't even be described as bold, but he had to be called a madman. Damn, Luo Yi wiped the sweat from his face and said cautiously, "Dashuai, should we think about it again?" ”

"yes." Li Jing also felt that he couldn't keep up with Li Jing's rhythm, and he had to ignore the emperor's strict orders before, so he had to come to a general who was not subject to military orders outside the country and hit Yuguan. They can still understand this, after all, they have been leading the army to shrink in the pass, and they are really panicking. And after they got out of the customs, they did win a big victory in White Wolf City, but Li Jing was not satisfied at all, and he couldn't stop at all. After the tactics of the White Wolf City's adventure were successful, Li Jing immediately divided his troops and rushed to Songshan for a long distance to intercept them. According to the reason Li Jing told them at the time, the imperial court and the emperor would definitely send troops to reinforce them immediately after learning the news of the victory in White Wolf City. Therefore, they have to seize the opportunity and not let Gao Yuan run away, at least not let Gao Yuan run away with the people of Yingzhou. They made a detour to occupy Songshan, where Gao Yuan's retreat must pass, to block Gao Yuan, and when the imperial court soldiers and horses arrived, they would do it again, and then they would have another white wolf victory.

At least this reason is still in the past, which is heartwarming. But now I have to change my mind and attack Liaodong City, what is this?

"Dashuai, Your Majesty will never agree to us taking such a risk, Liaodong City is eight hundred miles away from Yuguan, and it is such a strong fortress, the Goguryeo people have occupied this city and operated it for one hundred and ninety years."

Li Jing nodded, "It is precisely because Liaodong City is so important to the Goguryeo people that we have to seize this opportunity to seize this city." If we can capture this city, not only can the land of Liaoxi be recovered, but also the land of Liaodong, which has been occupied and invaded by the Goguryeo people for hundreds of years, we will also have a chance to regain it. Luo Yi and Li Jing, you are all generals, isn't it the duty of my generation of soldiers to recover the territory of my Han people? Do we still hesitate and cringe at this time? As long as it is difficult to take Liaodong City, even if His Majesty dismisses me from my post and takes away my official after the fact, I will not regret it. ”

Li Jingluo Yi looked at each other, not knowing how to answer this boss.

"If you don't want to go, you can stay in the Songshan camp, and the commander will personally lead the troops there."

At this point, what else can the two of them say. "Commander, someone is willing to go together."

"Okay, pass the order, early tomorrow morning, Ben Shuai personally led 30,000 horsemen to attack Liaodong City, and the rest of the troops stayed in the Songshan camp." Li Jing looked at the red sky in the western sky, and his heart was full of excitement. Luo Yi and Li Jing looked at the back of the young coach and shook their heads helplessly.
