Chapter 31: The Return of Liaodong
It is not for nothing that Luo Shixin thinks so,
In the past, Yang Guang's 1.13 million army attacked Goguryeo, and only Yang Guang was the only one who invested millions of troops to conquer the city at one time. Except for the generals Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang who led the Jianghuai Navy, the rest of the 130,000 were all foot soldiers, probably between seven or eight hundred thousand......
An army of seven or eight hundred thousand, to put it mildly, can cause a lot of floods to overwhelm Liaodong: but under Yang Guang's god-like command level, Liaodong City was stunned and not defeated. It's not that Sui Bing is incompetent, but that Yang Guang is too brainless and idiotic to a certain level.
Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty was recognized as a promising king, but no one was perfect, and he had many small problems. It was too easy for him to come to the world of the Great Sui, and no founding emperor in the past and present had gone to the world so easily as Yang Jian. This is too easy to get, and I am afraid of losing it because of this, so whenever the army goes out, he will arrange for his son to be the commander of the three armies, but the commander of the three armies is only nominal and does not care about things, and all military affairs are handled by the designated marshal Changshi. The task of the commander is mainly to supervise and prevent the general from gaining military power and supporting the army with self-respect.
When Yang Guang was the king of Jin, he served as the commander of the Shangshu of Xingtai, but the real commander of the army was Marshal Changshi Gaogong.
Yang Guang thinks very highly of himself, and has always felt that he is omnipotent, and there is nothing he can't do. When I was a puppet marshal, I was very depressed, and this time I had this opportunity, of course, one ~ ±, wā¦ww. Zhan was the director, and directly commanded the command of 1.13 million soldiers and horses of the 24th Route Army, and also emphasized that the 24th general who commanded the army was not allowed to act without his order. He ordered the generals of all walks of life to report to him in every detail, and even if they encountered the enemy, they could not start a war. Attack is possible only with his permission.
Liu Bang had a dialogue with Han Xin that year, and Han Xin said that Liu Bang would be a general. You can't be a general, but you can get a maximum of 10,000 soldiers. You must know that although Liu Bang is a ruffian, his rise is undoubtedly a silk counterattack, from a pavilion chief, to a rolling and climbing on the battlefield, and has experienced countless winds and waves. However, Yang Guang has only been a nominal commander a few times, and he lacks experience in commanding troops at all, but he wants to command an army of this size of 1.13 million in one go, and the result can be imagined.
Under the command of Yang Guang, the Goguryeo army had no power to resist in the face of crushing the forces of interest. was forced directly into Liaodong City.
The valiant Sui soldiers naturally had the upper hand under the suppression of numbers, and the Goguryeo soldiers stubbornly resisted for a long time in the face of an enemy nearly twenty times their size, and finally could not hold it and planned to surrender. Because before the war, Yang Guang issued a special order, saying that "if Goguryeo surrenders, it is advisable to appease and not to set up troops." ā
General Sui did not dare to fight again in the face of Yang Guang's strict orders, so he told Yang Guang. Yang Guangguang was overjoyed and accepted Goguryeo's surrender.
Where do you know that Goguryeo is fooling people. As soon as the Sui army retreated, they packed up their utensils and continued to hold on.
The Sui general was full of anger, stepped on the corpses of his companions, and launched a more fierce offensive. Goguryeo, of course, couldn't resist it. Surrender was agreed again.
In the face of Yang Guang's order, Sui Jiang did not fight, nor did he not fight, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally let Yang Guang decide.
Yang Guang still agreed. Of course, this time it was still a fool.
Third ......
The soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were really angry, which made Goguryeo a fool twice. Even the clay figure bodhisattva can't bear it. This third offensive was even more ferocious than the previous two, and it made Goguryeo scream. Seeing that Goguryeo couldn't support it three times. Yuan Binzhi's brother Yuan Ziyou brazenly ceased the war again, intending to surrender.
The general of the Sui Dynasty is angry, is he really a fool? Ignoring Yang Guang's orders, ignoring Goguryeo's surrender, and continuing the bloody battle.
However, Yang Guang got the news in the rear and forcibly dragged the red-eyed Sui soldiers from the city tower.
As a result, as before, Goguryeo was still foolish.
After this time, the Sui soldiers never attacked again to threaten Liaodong City. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers had already been chilled by Yang Guang's ignorant face-saving efforts and lost their will to fight. What kind of victory can a commander who ignores his own casualties win?
Because of this crushing advantage of the Sui Dynasty, with the power of the stone hitting the egg, Ren let Yang Guang command the egg to break the stone, and most of the million army was lost.
Now the experienced generals of the Tang Army have finally attacked the Liaodong city wall with the help of the power of time, and they plan to repeat their old tricks?
Rolling his eyes, Luo Shixin smiled and said, "Someone is coming, and the envoy will be invited in the future." As he spoke, he whispered to Liu Renliang beside him.
When Liu Renliang heard this, he smiled knowingly and left the handsome tent.
"Ignorant foreign ministers, bewitched by the Baekje Yamato Kingdom, delusional desire to be the enemy of the Celestial Empire. The persuasion of my lord Yuanbin was useless, and because of the king's order, he had to fight with the heavenly kingdom. Today, the Heavenly Empire is the kingdom of heaven and the world, and it is deeply terrifying. I am a country outside Goguryeo, but I intend to hit a stone with an egg, which is really ridiculous to the world. In order to protect the safety of thousands of people in the city, our lord is willing to surrender the city. I beg the Marshal of the Celestial Empire to be considerate of the innocent people, to avoid unnecessary casualties, and to withdraw from the city, and my lord will be punished outside the city. Saying that, he knelt deeply on the ground, raised a thing with both hands high and said: "My lord Yuanbin has admired the prestige of the general for a long time, and he has admired it for a long time. Before leaving, Yu repeatedly said that he could be defeated by the general, and he was convinced. Knowing that the general has excellent martial arts and likes sword equipment, he specially gave the collection of divine soldiers to the general. ā
Goguryeo's words and deeds are extraordinarily docile, just like kittens, first taking the safety of the people as the righteousness of the people, and then giving away divine soldiers to move reasonably.
Luo Shixin's eyes lit up, he really likes to collect some weapons for collection, and he specially built a sword room in the mansion to collect the collected weapons. However, he is a little low-key in his interests and hobbies, and he does not publicize any major events, all kinds of purchases, and only looks at chance. This little hobby actually let them know.
The sinking dragon finch is also known as the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, it is cast by Helian Bobo, the king of the Xia Kingdom in the era of the Sixteen Kingdoms, according to legend, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow is extremely ingeniously made, the next is a big ring, with the dragon entangled, its first bird shape, particularly gorgeous, I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of Yuan Binzhi.
Luo Shixin said with a smile: "You really have a heart, then I'm welcome." ā
He motioned to the guards beside him to take the sinking dragon sparrow, let the messenger of Goguryeo take a seat, open the quaint weapon box, and a beautifully forged treasure knife appeared in front of him, this knife is three feet nine inches long, as rumored, the forging is extremely fine, the appearance is gorgeous and beautiful, with the dragon body as the handle of the sparrow beak as the head, and the back is engraved with the gorgeous seal characters "Ancient sharp weapons, Wu Chu Zhan Lu, Daxia dragon sparrow, the name of the gods." ā
"A good knife indeed!" Luo Shixin is also quite discerning in this regard, this Daxia Dragon Bird is made of high-grade iron, tempered and forged, when it comes to sharpness and hardness, I am afraid that it is not lost to the seven-star horizontal knife in his hand at all, and the workmanship is also very exquisite, which is better than the seven-star horizontal knife. But when it comes to practicality, it is far inferior to Datang's horizontal knife.
The horizontal knife combines the two advantages of the sword and the stabbing of the sword, and is compatible with the lethality and armor-piercing ability, and the effect is far more practical than that of the ordinary sword. Although the Japanese sword imitated by Little Japan is called the Four Famous Swords, in fact, it is only scratching the surface. Maybe it's because of their backward technology and low armor rate. This is simply better than chopping melons and vegetables, maybe the Japanese sword will have a little advantage, and the slashing is far less powerful than the stabbing of the soldiers in strong armor.
The Great Xia Dragon Bird is indeed a good knife, but he loves the Seven Star Horizontal Knife even more.
However, it is also a happy thing to have an extra famous knife in the Tibetan military room, so he put the weapon away and said with a smile: "If Yuan Binzhi is not dead, you can take me to say thank you to him." ā
When the Goguryeo envoy saw Luo Shixin receiving him so warmly, he thought that a great event had been accomplished, and his heart was very peaceful, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a stirring spirit and said, "What do you mean by this, my lord?" ā
"Ahh Luo Shixin nodded and said, "When you walked into this barracks, I conveyed the news of attacking Liaodong with all my might. On this battlefield, who cares about his life or death. Of course you really want to accompany him, I don't mind doing you a favor, just try if this big summer dragon finch is sharp enough. ā
The envoy of Goguryeo turned pale and lost his voice: "The two countries are at war, and it is immoral to attack while the envoys are negotiating. ā
Luo Shixin stood up and said: "No matter what kind of heart you have, Lao Tzu never talks about morality to the enemy. ā
Just as Luo Shixin thought, Yuan Binzhi analyzed the battle situation and realized that the Tang army had taken the lead, and the only way to continue fighting was defeat, so he simply repeated the old trick and let the Tang army retreat on its own.
Yuan Binzhi didn't expect Luo Shixin to be like Yang Guang, but as long as he deceived him once, he could delay it for a few days.
Taking advantage of the suspension of the exchange between the two armies, Yuan Binzhi secretly dispatched troops, even if Luo Shixin was unwilling to accept their surrender because of the experience of the past, he also had the strength to fight to the death and recapture the East Gate Urn City.
However, he didn't expect that when he secretly dispatched troops, the Tang Dynasty had already assembled a cavalry.
The Tang army, which was originally guarding the city tower, suddenly attacked, forcibly occupied the inner city tower like crazy, and opened the gate connecting the urn city and the inner city.
Yuan Binzhi's reaction was not unpleasant, but after all, it had to be a step slower......
They did mobilize soldiers and horses, but where were the opponents of the Tang cavalry.
In particular, the 500 cavalry at the forefront of the charge were the victorious army trained by Luo Shixin, and they have not encountered a single defeat in the battle against the enemy so far.
Yuan Binzhi was powerless to return to the sky, this veteran who had really lost weight in Liaodong for more than 40 years chose to commit suicide, and also fulfilled the promise made by his dear eldest brother when he handed over Liaodong to him: live and die with Liaodong!
Liaodong fell with the death of Yuan Binzhi!
Liaodong, which had been occupied for Goguryeo for more than 200 years, finally returned to the embrace of the Central Plains and became Chinese territory again
