Eastern Goguryeo

Since the start of the war, Wang Ze personally led an army of 60,000 mainly from the Zhonghu Army to quickly advance and capture Yuanshan Port, but after the rapid advance and occupation in the early stage, the progress of the Xia army was much slower because Yuan Dazuo took advantage of the rugged mountains in the east to resist.

And Wang Ze was temporarily stationed here in Yuanshan, and from time to time there were urgent reports from various armies sent by various means, so that Wang Ze could understand the details of the battles of the various armies.

It's just that compared with several other armies, Hu Bingchang, Jiang Chuan, and Xu Ning, who attacked from northeast Liaodong to the south, will inevitably have to delay a lot of traffic to connect Wang Ze here, and when Wang Ze received all the news about the battle situation in Fuyu City, it was already nearly a month.

"What a Gao Wencan, I really underestimated him before!"

A compound in Yuanshan Port has become the wartime command center of the Central Protector Army here, Wang Ze stood in the lobby and stared at the location of Fuyu City on a huge map on the middle desk, it seems that the Xia Army that leaked out of this war has many shortcomings.

In the battle against Jiang Chuan and their Northern Route Army, it not only reflected the combat effectiveness and strong will to fight of the Goguryeo army, but also reflected Gao Wencan's superb political skills.

If it weren't for the fact that the Xia army's strength was really strong, as well as hot air balloons and gunpowder weapons with rich styles, otherwise the battle of Buyeo City would have been ironclad that the Xia army would have lost.

The generals of the Central Guard Army who followed Wang Ze to temporarily garrison Yuanshan Port were also pulled over by Wang Ze at this time, and after seeing Wang Ze sigh, Shen Sanshui frowned and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the almost failure of the Battle of Fuyu City this time is still because our army has won one victory after another, which has made most of the generals and soldiers have a slack heart, and they feel that they are the best in the world, this mentality is very dangerous, and it is very unacceptable!" ”

Wang Ze turned his head and smiled at Shen Sanshui and the others and nodded: "Yes, this time, whether it is Hu Bingchang's troop configuration or Jiang Chuan and Xu Ning's combat deployment, it seems a little rough, but at present, the war is tight, let them write a review first, but those soldiers who fought bravely should be rewarded!" ”

Shen Sanshui glanced at Fang Lei, Zhao Yong and the others helplessly, but it was not a good thing to change generals in the battle, and the two of them couldn't say anything.

No matter how bad Jiang Chuan, Hu Bingchang, Xu Ning and others fought in the Battle of Fuyu City, but no matter what, the Xia army still won the final victory, and this fact cannot be ignored after all.

Wang Ze also ignored the whispering of the generals of the Zhonghu Army behind him, he looked at an area in the water that was originally painted with other colors and whispered to himself: "Since the end of the Su does not want this land, then I am not welcome, the little one would rather abandon his family business to join the Northern Zhou than take refuge in me!" ”

As soon as he thought of Su's performance, Wang Ze was angry!

When the Xia army began to attack Goguryeo, Wang Ze considered that the relationship between the end of Su and Goguryeo was not good, so Wang Ze also instructed the army to temporarily let them go, and then try to appease the end of Su for his own use after the defeat of Goguryeo in the future.

If it weren't for Yan Xiaowu and Qin Han leading 15,000 cavalry to arrive in time, I am afraid that the Xia army east of Buyeo City would also suffer a lot of losses.

But fortunately, the people of the Yan Dynasty had just come to Dongcheng for a moment and had no time to attack, Yan Xiaowu and Qin Han led the cavalry of their troops to hurry over, and these Yan Yan cavalry saw that the situation was not good and showed their faces and quickly galloped towards the southwest.

Yan Xiaowu and Qin Han were busy helping those injured soldiers, and they didn't have time to catch up for a while, but they couldn't figure out why these people were rushing to the southwest, wasn't their old nest in the northeast in the upper reaches of the millet water?

Later, it was Ji Xiang who led the cavalry along the Liaoshui in the southwest to discover the movement of this group of people who had already arranged 30,000 or 40,000 women and children in the tribe to the Liao River.

Then it went all the way to the southwest along the west bank of the Liao River, until it reached Yingzhou in the White Wolf Water (Daling River) basin, which was the territory of the Northern Qi in the past few decades, and now the Northern Qi has fallen into the land of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the generals under the command of Yu Wenxian are stationed here.

In the face of this great war between Goguryeo and Xia in Liaodong, the Northern Zhou did not want to intervene, but the Northern Zhou was now restrained by Wang Yong and Nan Chen, and the three parties were constantly fighting in the north and south of the Central Plains, so where did the Northern Zhou have any energy to meddle in the war situation in Liaodong?

Even Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Yong, who had returned to Chang'an, only sighed that he had failed to pacify the Central Plains in time after learning of the changes in Liaodong, otherwise even if Nanchen had not yet pacified at this time, he could have sent an army of 100,000 people to take down several cities on the east bank of the Liaohe River as the basis for attacking Liaodong in the future.

However, although the Northern Zhou Dynasty lost the opportunity to attack Liaodong, Yu Wenxian brought him a good news, the great leader of the Su Dynasty, Tu Diji, suddenly led tens of thousands of people from the Ju clan to cross the Liaoshui and came to Yingzhou to defect to the Northern Zhou, so that he could not only obtain a strong army out of thin air, but even use this army of people as a guide to attack Liaodong in the future.

In order to commend Tudiji's surrender, Yuwenyong made a lot of publicity, and sealed Tudiji as the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu and the Taishou of Liaoxi, and ordered Yuwenxian to settle these Sumo tribesmen.

Not to mention how the Northern Zhou arranged these Su Ministries, this time the Xia Kingdom finally won the final victory in the Battle of Fuyu City, which also made Wang Ze extremely happy.

After Hu Bingchang, Jiang Chuan, and Xu Ning all united, the combat effectiveness of these more than 100,000 people immediately exploded, not only eliminating tens of thousands of Goguryeo cavalry outside the city, but also finally breaking through Buyeo City, and all 20,000 Goguryeo defenders in the city were killed.

The two or three hundred thousand Goguryeo people in Buyeo City were killed because they helped the army defend the city, and then the Xia army pulled all the remaining Goguryeo men as slaves, and the other young and beautiful women were selected, and the rest of the old and weak were all killed.

Then Hu Bingchang fiercely repelled the Khitan cavalry who tried to get a piece of the pie, killing at least thousands of Khitan cavalry, so that these Khitans who wanted to take advantage of them fled far away, but since then the two sides have also begun to form grudges, it seems that the war with Goguryeo has not ended, and a new round of war is about to begin.

At the end of September of the 19th year of the Xia calendar, the Buyeo City that Goguryeo relied on to resist the attack of the Xia army completely fell, and more than 100,000 Xia troops rolled south and went straight to the new city, not far from the new city is the most important city of Goguryeo in Liaodong - Liaodong City.

After all, Goguryeo cannot have only a few cities in Liaodong, and the major cities mentioned above are only relatively important cities in Goguryeo, and there are also a large number of small cities, towns, and villages between Buyeo City and Xincheng and Liaodong City.

Only a small part of these cities have been accumulated in the past few decades or even hundreds of years, and most of them were established by Gao Yangcheng after the development of Liaodong, so along the way, the Xia army continued to attack these small cities, which were the basis for the future Goguryeo translation.

If the Xia State wants to completely consolidate the occupation of Liaodong, it must first solve the problem of these people, otherwise it will be enough to continue to attack and disturb the Xia State's government in the future, and it is better to clean it up all in one go now.

Wang Ze was very satisfied with the decisiveness of Jiang Chuan and others, why should we love civilians in war? That means that in the face of the people of the same race, the people of the other race care about their life and death, Wang Ze is so selfish, he only loves his own people, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to the fate of the other bloodstained aliens of the Han people.

Although Shen Sanshui and the others were very critical of the way the North Road Army used troops this time, it was still difficult for them to continue to advance westward under the resistance of Yuan Dazuo, so they couldn't say anything, so they could only decide in their hearts that they must fight well and let others see the ability of the Zhonghu Army.

As a result, after the Zhonghu army captured a large area of land in the northeast of Goguryeo and paused for half a month, they once again began a large-scale attack, so that the relatively powerful Yuan Dazuo began to be unable to resist.

In the face of the offensive of the powerful Xia army from the north, Gao Wencan, who was in charge of the occupation of Liaodong, could be said to be already overwhelmed, and he not only had to face this extremely powerful Xia army, but also tried every means to resist the threat of the Blue Wolf Army that continued to move north along the coastline in the south.

In addition to the continuous attacks of the Xia army from outside, the city lords and the lords of Goguryeo also intrigued one by one in an attempt to retain their strength, all of which made Gao Wencan, an old general of Goguryeo, exhausted, but he still had to persevere.

However, at the same time that the Xia army on the northern road was besieging the new city, the Jian'an City (later Yingkou) at the mouth of the Liao River in the south was suddenly captured by Sun Xing's First Fleet and the Blue Wolf Army Zhang Hang and Chu Honghang's troops who came from the sea.

This city, whose main purpose was to resist the attack of the Central Plains by land, was conquered in the face of the combined attack of the Blue Wolf Army and the First Fleet, and it did not hold on for two days.

In the face of the strong offensive of the Xia army, Goguryeo's rule in Liaodong was in jeopardy, but Gao Yangcheng really couldn't draw any troops to support Gao Wencan.

While Goguryeo suffered large-scale defeats in the northeastern and northern Liaodong routes, Goguryeo's performance in several other battlefields was also poor, and Zhu Wei had already led nearly 100,000 troops to assist Gao Huizhen against the armies of Han Zigao and Zheng Kui, who were constantly on the northern expedition.

Although Zhu Wei and Gao Huizhen slowed down the eastern and western offensives of the southern Xia army, they did not completely block the offensive of the Xia army, and the Xia army continued to advance its offensive slowly but firmly, but the speed slowed down.

However, at this time, there were some problems within the Goguryeo army, and there was a conflict between Zhu Wei, a general representing the Goguryeo royal family, and Gao Hyejin, representing a powerful local faction, not because of anything else but because of the issue of command.
