It was the defenders of Jian'an City who appeared in the rear of the Tang Army, and it was led by Hu Xiegu himself. ○

A person who has been cowering in Jian'an City, so that a famous general like Su Dingfang has nothing to do except attack it, finally can't bear to lead his troops out of the city.

As the most optimistic son of Yuanbinzhi, Yuanbinzhi in Liaodong gave Huxie Valley great power, and in order to entrust Liaodong to him, he also established great prestige. In addition to Yuan Binzhi, it is him in Liaodong. It is also because of this that when Yuan Binzhi's grandson Yuan Song was in danger, he could subdue all the generals who Yuan Binzhi had pulled out of Jian'an City without saying a word, and let them obediently stay in the city and watch Yuan Song die in battle.

Hu Xiegu has been shrinking in the city of Jian'an, not blindly clinging, for the battle situation, for the Tang army and Goguryeo reinforcements movements are well understood. When Luo Shixin led his troops around Jian'an City to intercept Goguryeo reinforcements, he knew that the situation was not good.

This time, the alliance of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Yamato to deal with the Tang Dynasty together is extremely unwise according to the Yuanbinzhi and Hushanggu, because only Goguryeo is really connected to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and once the Tang Dynasty is enraged, it is Goguryeo who will bear the brunt of the endangerment, not Baekje in the depths of the peninsula, let alone the Yamato Kingdom far overseas.

However, Yengae Suwen did not discuss this matter with them at all, and decided everything obstinately, and agreed to divide Silla with Baekje and Yamato. Silla was not weak in the Three Kingdoms of Haidong, but at the same time, in the face of the conquests of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Yamato, it was only a matter of time before the entire territory fell. In order not to suffer a loss, most of the heavy troops in Goguryeo were stationed on the Silla border. Prepare to invade Silla anytime, anywhere.

Yuangai Suwen's strategy of using troops in this way is self-evident, one defense and one attack. On the one hand, he devoured the territory of Goguryeo to expand his strength, and on the other hand, he used Liaodong as a barrier to resist the attack of the Tang army.

Maybe it's because of the four decisive battles with the Sui Dynasty. Goguryeo's record was too brilliant, and he didn't pay much attention to the attack of the 100,000 army of the Tang Dynasty. I feel that the millions of troops of the Sui Dynasty have no strength to take Liaodong, so what is there to fear from just 100,000. With Yuan Binzhi's prestige and defensive ability in Liaodong, the 100,000 army could not help him. first earn enough profits in the weak and bullying Silla, and then turn back to clean up the 100,000 army of the Tang Dynasty.

This arrangement also made Goguryeo's troops deployed on the two lines of Liaodong and Silla, which were separated by thousands of miles.

No one expected that the Tang army, under the leadership of Luo Shixin, would win victories one after another with perfect preparations, and in one fell swoop broke through the Liaoshui defense line of the Great Wall of Goguryeo in order to prevent the invasion of the Central Plains. He also pulled out the new city and surrounded Liaodong, and such an effective and rapid offensive efficiency was far from comparable to that of the Sui Dynasty in the past. For this reason, Goguryeo was also greatly shocked and hurriedly transferred troops to reinforce Liaodong. However, the Goguryeo army was on the border of the Han River and Silla, and it was impossible to immediately reinforce Liaodong, and the 35,000 soldiers led by Gao Tubo were the only troops that could be deployed to support Liaodong at present.

If Gao Tubo let the Tang army be defeated at this time, it means that Liaodong will not be able to receive effective support for a certain period of time, and the current situation in Liaodong is likely to fall into a situation of defeat because of this.

When Hu Xiegu learned that the commander of the attack on Goguryeo was Luo Shixin, he investigated Luo Shixin's resume in detail. Similar to Luo Shixin, a person whose reputation is violent in the north and south. It's not difficult to know what he's been through, and it's easy to draw terrible conclusions. As one of Li Tang's most famous and courageous generals, Luo Shixin not only possessed a terrifying martial arts, but also had a formidable combat effectiveness in the field: the Battle of Dapan Mountain defeated 150,000 Turkic cavalry with 20,000 soldiers. Attacking the Turks, carrying out blitzkrieg, killing the Turkic Khan's court in one go, with the strength of an army, pinned down the main Turkic army...... Something like that. Numerous......

Gao Tubo can be regarded as a general of Goguryeo, but his record is really far from that of Luo Shixin.

At this critical juncture. Hu Xiegu had to go out of the city to support, even if Gao Tubo was defeated. If a little remnant can be saved, the situation in Liaodong can also be improved to a certain extent.

It is not that Hu Xiegu does not dare to go out of the city and fight, but carefully weighs the key to the interests of war and non-war.

When he rushed to the battlefield with thousands of people, he found that the Tang army had already taken the initiative in the battle situation, and it was not far from victory if it was fought down.

The only thing to be thankful for was that their Left Wing Army performed very well and gained the upper hand, and just as he was thinking about how to use his troops to get the most benefit, the tide of the battle turned dramatically. Under the command of a scribe in the rear of the Tang army, the right flank launched a counterattack, turning the situation in one fell swoop and recovering the disadvantage of the right flank.

Hu Xiegu frowned, originally planning to directly attack the right flank of the Tang army to help their left flank army open a passage and assist them in breaking through. Goguryeo's left-wing army had more than 10,000 people, and with the advantage of the city, there were more than 10,000 soldiers, and it was not easy to add tens of thousands of combat strength in field battles.

"In this case, first break the command of the Chinese army, and attack the right flank of the Tang Army......" Looking at the command post of the Chinese army with less than 100 people under the banner of the Tang Army in front, Hu Xiegu drew up a strategy for fighting: In the current situation, the Chinese army led by Luo Shixin and the left wing army led by Li Daozong fought smoothly and easily, and even if they were attacked by surprise, they could not reverse the situation. On the contrary, the right wing of the Tang Army, although it turned defeat into victory, but after all, there were hidden dangers that could be exploited, as long as they broke through their command of the Chinese army, although the right wing of the Tang Army could not reverse their defeat, they could also save all the way back to the soldiers and horses.

With this in mind, Hu Xiegu no longer hesitated and directly issued an assault order.

More than 1,000 hidden soldiers came out with a bang.

**********

Liu Renliang was not surprised by the enemy that emerged behind him: Luo Shixin's original intention was to lure out Hu Xiegu and take the opportunity to capture Jian'an City under the condition of breaking through Goguryeo reinforcements.

Hu Xiegu did not know that the secret passage of their quiet exit from the city had been discovered by the strange people under the command of Luo Shixin, and soon after they left the city, Su Dingfang launched a campaign to besiege Jian'an City.

Originally, the main purpose of leaving the Jiesheng army behind was to deal with the Goguryeo ape arm battalion that might be lured out of the city by Hu Xiegu, but he didn't want to because of Zhang Junyi's cowardice, Liu Renliang had to transfer the Jiesheng army to the right flank of the Tang army to support.

The appointment. stabilized the situation of the Right Wing Army, and also led to the fact that his own banner army had less than 100 guards.

"Look. I knew it. If these little rabbits in Goguryeo don't have the ability, they will do things like stealing chickens and touching dogs. When he saw that there were few of us, he killed us...... That's about a thousand. It's scary! Liu Renliang Yao pointed to the Goguryeo soldiers who were about to rush up in the distance, and said to the surrounding soldiers with a bit of banter: Before Hu Xiegu appeared, he had already taken a precautionary shot. told the soldiers beside him that they were about to be attacked by the Goguryeo soldiers, and there were not many of them, and there were more than a thousand people, far superior to them.

This unexpected surprise attack and encountering an unexpected surprise attack are two different concepts: they knew the existence of Hu Xiegu in advance, knew that they were ten times more than them, and had already prepared to deal with a strong enemy, and killed them. It didn't cause any anomalies, only solemn and cautious.

But listening to Liu Renliang and the scribes, in the face of ten times the strength of the enemy, he talked and laughed freely and joked with them, and the tense nerves were also relaxed, and he was not as nervous as he was at the beginning.

Seeing that Hu Xiegu was about to reach the approach, Liu Renliang pulled out the saber at his waist and laughed: "Liaodong has the old China. Since Wei has been involved in Zhou, he has been put out of the way. The fourth teacher of the Sui family returned after losing the law, and the killing of good people is innumerable. Today, my Tang soldiers are here. Successive battles, seeing that victory in the battle is in sight, Liaodong is about to recover. We must not let our army's achievements be ruined because of our small number of troops and cowardice in fighting. I am not asking for a reward from the county magistrate here. I wish to die in Liaodong. You are willing to charge into battle with me, a powerless scholar. Give the chief manager time to win the enemy? ”

Liu Renliang has no power to restrain the chicken, which is not false at all.

Accidents happen on this battlefield at any time. Liu Renliang's status as a Sima in the army is not small, and the court also prepared armor for him. But wearing the general's armor, he couldn't move freely, barely wore it for half an hour, his physical strength would not be able to help, he was tired and couldn't move, and he was weak from then on. Now he is wearing a specially processed scribe's armor, which looks noble, but when it comes to defensive power, it is not much different from the armor of soldiers.

But it was such a character, facing an enemy ten times his size, who drew his horizontal sword for decoration without fear and came to the front line of the soldiers...... The eyes are resolute and the fighting spirit is high.

A weak scholar still has the bloody nature to sacrifice his life for the country, how can a hot-blooded soldier be left behind?

In response to Liu Renliang, there were two deafening words: "Willing!" ”

"Good!" Liu Renliang said arrogantly: "If I die in battle, I don't avoid panic, and the horse leather shrouds are my Tang Erlang...... Kill! ”

Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Renliang said that he had already jumped out of the crowd first.

The surrounding soldiers saw that Liu Renliang was desperate, how could they hesitate at all, and rushed one by one: all of them were far superior to Liu Renliang in riding strength, and they surpassed Liu Renliang and the Goguryeo ape arm battalion led by Hu Xiegu in three or two strokes.

The battlefield where the blood column is sprayed, you live and die, and you realize the slightest emotion!

However, more than 90 people, Liu Renliang and a scholar, faced with a tenfold enemy, forcibly suppressed their offensive.

Liu Renliang is very weak, not ordinary weak!

He slashed at a nearby Goguryeo soldier, without even cutting through his armor, and the other party stabbed him with a bloody cut in his arm.

Liu Renliang didn't say a word, gritted his teeth and was about to fight back, but the Goguryeo soldier had already let the guard next to Liu Renliang cut off his head with a knife.

Liu Renliang ignored the wound on his arm and rushed towards the other person.

Although he was weak, he forgot to die, so under his leadership, 93 soldiers of no more than 100 soldiers forcibly resisted more than 1,000 Goguryeo soldiers.

Note: Many people say that China has become twisted, but in fact, the word "China" has existed since the Spring and Autumn Period, and it had several meanings at that time. However, after the Han Dynasty, China referred to the Central Plains Dynasty established by the Han people as "China" "Analects of the Analects": "Zhuxia, China also" Zhuxia is also Huaxia, and Huaxia is equal to China.

Therefore, the China that appears in my book is not a modern word, but a general term for the Central Plains Dynasty of China in ancient times. (To be continued......)
