Chapter 282: Siege

The sensation brought about by the march of 800,000 troops is naturally unimaginable.

Vast and endless.

From a distance, the entire army was like a huge black torrent, marching towards the distance in an orderly manner.

The flag is swaggering, like a flowing cloud, covering the sky and the sun.

It took half a month to do this, and the army arrived in Liaodong, and at this time, the entire Liaodong City was also looted, but it can be seen that Yu Wenhua and others are organizing the remaining people in the city to repair the buildings in the city.

"Your Majesty."

Seeing the arrival of the army, Yu Wenhua and the generals were all ashamed, and arched their hands: "The ministers are not talented, and they failed to intercept the Goguryeo army in time, and please ask Your Majesty to surrender!" ”

"The matter...... The sin is not in you. ”

Su Zimo waved his hand, looked at Yu Wenhua and the others a few times, and said quietly: "But although this is the case, the military order is like a mountain, and it has to be punished, Yu Wenhua and ......."

"The minister is here!"

"This time I failed to intercept the Goguryeo army, and I ordered you to make meritorious service for the crime and go to Goguryeo for the vanguard of our army, are you willing?"

"I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the generals also breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, Yu Wenhua failed to complete the task, and it stands to reason that it is difficult to escape death.

But cutting off generals before the battle is a taboo on the march.

In any case, their Emperor Majesty is still a little measured.

"Soldiers, listen to orders!"

But seeing Su Zimo's solemn face, he said in a deep voice: "This time, I drove the expedition in person, led an army of 800,000 to conquer Goguryeo, this battle cannot be lost, and my Great Sui will win!" ”

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

There were several sounds, the momentum was high, and the roar shook the sky.

And the generals below were also flushed and excited.

Expand the territory and conquer the city.

That's what they mean by being military generals.

In this expedition to Goguryeo, if they return victoriously, they will naturally be promoted to higher ranks and lords, and their descendants will be favored.

"Okay, morale is available!"

Su Zimo was overjoyed, looked around at the many generals, and said quietly: "This expedition to Goguryeo, the army set off in three ways, where is Zhang Xutuo?" ”

"The minister is here!"

But among the generals, a burly man in his thirties walked out, his eyes full of war intent.

"I order you to lead an army of 200,000 to attack Pyongyang!"

"Yes!"

"Where is He Ruobi, the general of the Right Martial Guard?"

"The old minister is here!"

As he spoke, a veteran with a resolute face walked out of the crowd and bowed.

"I order you to lead an army of 200,000 to leave Fuyu Road and march into the new city!"

"The old minister will not fail in his mission!"

"Hussar General Changsun Shengke is here?"

"The minister is here!"

A slightly elegant middle-aged man walked out, although he was wearing a military uniform, but he was majestic and heroic, showing his Confucian spirit.

For this person, Su Zimo also heard a little.

But the most important thing is that his son is the famous grandson of the Tang Dynasty, Wuji, and his daughter is the famous eldest grandson queen in history.

"General Changsun, I order you to lead 100,000 sailors to set off from Dongnae and attack Pyongyang across the sea!"

"Yes!"

"Where are you coming to Hu'er, Yuwen Shu?"

"The minister is here!"

In the crowd, two more generals walked out.

"The remaining 300,000 troops, I want to lead them personally, and you can be the vanguard of the left and right, together with General Yuwen, what objections do you have?"

"Obey the order!"

Naturally, the two had no objections.

In fact, Yu Wenshu said that this person is Yu Wenhua's biological father, General Feng Zuowei, Xu Guogong.

Now that the father and son are in battle, how dare they not do their best?

After everything was arranged, Su Zimo nodded, glanced at the sky, and immediately ordered: "The army will camp outside this Liaodong city first, and tomorrow the third watch will make food, and the fifth watch will set off, there must be no mistake!" ”

"Yes!"

Soon, the 800,000-strong army was also encamped here in an orderly manner.

The ancients were also particular about camping, not only to choose a place with open terrain that does not affect the field of vision, but also to lay trenches and various fences around the camp.

And, at night, it is necessary to organize people to take turns to keep vigil.

As for those who single-handedly entered the camp, it was a joke.

Not to mention how to smoothly blend into the camp alone under such a heavy siege, even if you enter, in the face of so many camps, how can you distinguish which place is the boss's camp?

Nothing was said all night.

Although marching and fighting is an extremely difficult thing, for Su Zimo today, he is accustomed to it.

By the next day, when it was getting dark, the army was already ready to go.

After less than half a day of marching, the Liaohe River had already come into view.

"Logging, crossing the river!"

Seeing this scene, a general immediately ordered.

After that, the army began to cut down the surrounding trees and make simple rafts, and then the 800,000-strong army began to cross the river in an organized manner.

After everything was ready, Liaodong County also appeared in front of the Sui army.

"Your Majesty?"

When things have developed here, there are naturally two choices, one is to camp here and continue to attack the city until tomorrow, and the other is to take the city in one go to boost morale.

"Siege!"

With this order, among the large army, a queue of 10,000 people was divided and marched towards Liaohe City.

For all this, the defenders in the city have naturally discovered it a long time ago.

"Come on, release the arrows!"

I saw that many archers appeared on the city wall, and then countless arrows fell like raindrops, and many soldiers also died immediately.

Seeing this scene, the generals, and even Su Zimo, were all indifferent.

The army is on the expedition, how can there be no casualties, and the counterattack on the opposite side is obviously expected.

"Go up the ladder!"

For the siege, the Sui army naturally has a lot of experience.

After that, dozens of huge ladders were quickly carried to the battlefield, and countless soldiers worked hard to transport the ladders to the edge of the city wall against the arrows that kept falling from above.

"Click, click."

Ladders dozens of feet high were erected on top of the city walls.

Naturally, there are many soldiers who are not afraid of death, and they began to climb along the ladder.

"Pour the gold juice!"

The so-called gold juice is not some gold casting, but some feces and urine collected in advance, which are boiled and turned into hot juice.

"Whoa!"

Several large vats of gold juice were carried to the city walls and began to pour down the ladder.

Suddenly, those soldiers who were contaminated with the golden juice fell one by one, like dumplings in the next pot, and fell down from the cloud ladder dozens of feet high.

Even if there was luck and did not fall to death, but it was stained with gold juice, and in ancient times, where antibiotics were lacking, the death sentence was basically given.
