Chapter 504 Five Girls Mountain City
Wuli Luocheng, that is, Xinmin County, Shenyang City.
Half of this place belongs to the alluvial plain of the Liaohe River, and half belongs to the low-lying area of Liaoze, with waterways and lakes, and reeds everywhere.
The great melee of the five armies was launched in this low-lying area full of reeds, and the battle stretched for dozens of miles.
Xue Zuo's 6,000 foot soldiers, this is the only refined army, as soon as they enter the battlefield, they are walking sideways, the enemy army cannot stop them, and the envy of the Sudouling Department and Huang Shilang's Department is about to vomit blood.
As for U Wenji, he did not come because the Goguryeo reinforcements from Wuli Luo Cheng had moved south, and he had to build a defensive line again in the plains north of the low-lying swamp to block the enemy's southward advance.
As a result, such a situation was formed, Liaodong City, which was in the center of the whirlpool, did not fight, but the surrounding area was in full swing.
The defense general of Liaodong City is Gao Yuan's younger brother Gao Jianwu, and the Juanu Ministry is also called the Western Lord.
But he is not in Liaodong City, he is in the mountain city of Wunu Mountain, because Liaodong City is easy to be besieged, so the headquarters of the Liaodong defense line is on Wunu Mountain.
This person is quite capable of fighting, and he is also the next king of Goguryeo after Gao Yuan in history, but he did not die in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, but in the hands of Yuan Gai Suwen, a generation of powerful ministers of Goguryeo.
Wei Yunqi mainly attacked the Wunu Mountain east of Liaodong, and went down to the ancient city, Gaojiandi and other mountain cities, and the fight was not smooth at all, because these cities were all on the mountains.
It's so hard to get up the mountain.
"These mongrels are barbarians, they can't come out of the mountains, and there are several walls along the mountain, and they really can't fight," complained the general, Liu Dong.
In the temporary camp at the foot of the mountain, Wei Yunqi continued to digest the battle report ahead, and said with a solemn face:
"Wait for the wind, it should be a southwest wind blowing in this area, and when the wind arrives, set fire to the mountain."
Goguryeo set up a mountain city on the mountain, and there are circles of castle walls on the periphery, which are actually low defense lines built of bluestone barriers, and the forests within the city walls are cut down completely, just for fear that you will set fire.
But if there is a southwest wind to help, once the fire is lit at the foot of the mountain, the wind will blow the smoke to the top of the mountain, but there is also a drawback, that is, the wind in the mountain, because of the terrain, it will run around, and if you are unlucky, it will burn yourself.
So after Wei Yun started the fire, he had to run a little farther.
Don't underestimate the smoke of the wildfire, as long as you are in the top wind position, you can't hide, you can be choked after a while, and then suffocate to death.
That heat wave can roast you to death.
However, the method of arson is more cruel, after all, there are not only soldiers in the Goguryeo mountain city, but also ordinary people, which belongs to the killing.
Wei Yunqi couldn't go up the mountain, so he could only order the army to retreat, deploy on every road out of the mountain, and jam the pass to prevent the enemy from breaking through.
After waiting for two days, this morning, the wind came, so Wei Yunqi ordered to set fire to the mountain, and after lighting the fire, he immediately ordered the army to retreat for more than ten miles.
It's April now, and the forest and grass stems are in the recovery stage, and the water is scarce, and it is very easy to ignite.
And the mountain fire is very difficult to control, don't look at Wei Yunqi withdrew for more than ten miles, the situation is not right, he still has to retreat.
Along with the fire, all the mountain cities, including the Five Female Mountain Castle, were dispatched, and they did not want to extinguish the fire, but to run away while the fire was not big.
Where to run? Run to Wei Yunqi here.
The people of the city withdrew along the mountain road to the south.
The decisive battle of Wunu Mountain was ignited by Wei Yunqi's fire, and Wei Yunqi didn't know that Gao Jianwu was here.
And in the Liaohe Plain, Yu Wenhua and the southbound army with Wuli Luocheng also did it.
At this time, Li Jing had just arrived in Sanfo Village, and learned about the military situation ahead from Li Jing.
"It's a mess, it's a mess," Li Jing is also Longxi Li, the father of Li Yuantong, the former secretary of the military department, like Li Yuan, is a descendant of Li Wei, the monarch of Xiliang during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.
Historically, Li Jing's branch is absolutely fine, and the orthodox descendants of Longxi Li, Li Yuan's branch is enough to choke.
However, in today's Great Sui, there is no problem with Li Yuan's bloodline.
Li Jing is sixty years old, Yang Guang sent people to the front line, although this person is a famous general of the Great Sui generation, but after all, he is old.
In front of him, Li Jing is the junior among the juniors.
"Actually, it's not a mess, Wu Li Luocheng will go south to help sooner or later, but he came a little early, mainly because there was a problem with the defense line of Huaji."
Li Jing looked at the map and frowned: "It is not easy to build a defense line on the plain, and it is not all wrong to turn into a defeat and defeat the army, but now that His Majesty has asked me to take over Huaji, this drudgery will fall on the old man." ”
Li Jing hurriedly said: "At this time, it is not appropriate to pick it up, there is a battle ahead, and it is necessary to wait until the situation is clear, and the army of Duan Commander to fight Fuyu City is almost there, and when they cross the river to the north, the threat of Wuli Luocheng is not enough, and the clan father is still here to wait and see what happens." ”
"When I came, Duan Wenzhen's vanguard army was already preparing to cross the river," Li Jing said in a deep voice: "I will follow him all the way north, look at the situation, and then decide the time to take over." ”
"It should be so," Li Jing smiled and nodded.
Wuli Luocheng, in Duan Wenzhen's north to Fuyu must pass, he and Zhang Jin's task is to fight Wuli Luocheng and Fuyu City, the total strength is 63,000 people.
Zhang Jin is the general of the Left Reserve Mansion, he will definitely not be able to take the Left Reserve Mansion, but Yang Ming's earlier right guard and Qiu He's left guard.
The two generals under the command of the right guard are Wang Shilong and Yang Gongdao.
Wang Shilong went to the southwest to do Shangshu's right servant, and half of the right guards were stationed in Nanzheng County, the capital of Hanchuan County, and were responsible for staring at Bashu, and it was Shi Wanbao who took Wang Shilong's class.
And the current general of the right Hou Wei is Yang Rui, the king of Qin.
Yang Ming, who is in the Beijing Division, has also been paying attention to the battle on the front line, but because the distance is too far, he only knows that the pontoon bridge has been set up at the moment.
When the pontoon bridge was erected, he was half relieved.
After presiding over the court meeting every day, Yang Ming will also preside over the small court meeting in the East Palace, and when the whole person does not stop, in the imperial city, officials from various ministries come and go, their steps are hurried, and they are all anxious about the front-line war.
"Is there any news from Cui Wei?" In the Cheng'en Palace, Yang Ming sat on the main seat and said with a sleepy face.
Yuan Wendu shook his head and said: "Not yet, calculate the time, whether it goes well or not, he should have left Lingnan, he will definitely send someone to pass the news through the post station in advance, and we will know the situation in less than half a month." ”
Yang Ming nodded and said: "There is no new news in Shandong today, I don't know what happened to Zhang Xutuo, notify the post station to send additional post guards, and the military information from Shandong to Beijing will be transmitted a little faster." ”
"I'll arrange it," Du Ruhui got up and left.
Yang Ming's side is also a troublesome matter, Shandong is already in chaos, and Hebei is also fast, because people continue to flee back from the front line, and they all run to these two places.
The construction of the canal will make Hebei miserable, and now it will be hit again, and once there is chaos in the future, it will be only bigger than Shandong.
Just as Yang Ming was about to leave the Cheng'en Palace, a military report from Shandong was handed over.
Zhang Xutuo led the army to attack Linji County, defeated Wang Bo, and now Wang Bo led the remnants of thousands of people, fled to Yangxin County in Bohai County, Zhang Xutuo led the troops to pursue.
This military newspaper is undoubtedly inspiring, and the crown prince Xian Ma Liu Xuan was greatly relieved and praised:
"This person is good at using soldiers, always surprises people, is a good general, the king thief runs north to Yangxin, and needs to cross the Yellow River, maybe the Yellow River is where he will die."
The subordinate officials of the East Palace in the hall also felt a lot more relaxed at the moment, especially Fang Xuanling, after all, it was his hometown that made trouble.
"The king thief is extremely hateful, he is good at demagoguery, he needs to be exterminated as soon as possible, and his head should be sent to Jingshi in the future and hung in Mingdemen."
Yang Ming just smiled slightly.
The big brawl at the end of the Sui Dynasty, who is good at demagoguery, has not shown up yet, Wang Bo is among those people, and there is no card.
That's not right.
Yang Ming frowned suddenly, Li Yuan hasn't come back this dog day, but Jinyang Palace has already been repaired, although Yang Ming feels that this old boy doesn't have the courage to fight back now, but he is still very worried.
After all, the current Guanzhong is empty.
He couldn't get Li Yuan back, because Comrade Yang Guang hadn't accepted the project yet, and if he wanted to get Li Yuan back, he had to wait until Yang Guang went to Jinyang.
Shimin has been staying in the East Palace in a regular manner, but Jiancheng is gone, this is the eldest son.
Lao Tzu detains your eldest son-in-law, and you will not dare to rebel.
"How long has Jiancheng been in Xiangcheng County?"
Li Baiyao replied: "It's been almost two years. ”
Yang Ming asked again: "Is there a vacancy in Shangshu Province recently?" ”
With this question, everyone immediately guessed that the prince wanted Li Jiancheng to enter Shangshu Province.
And the East Palace is responsible for the docking work with Shangshu Province, it is Li Gang, who only listens to Li Gang:
"Liu Mo, the host and guest attendant of the Ministry of Rites, died of illness on the way out, and there is only this position vacant at the moment."
Yang Ming immediately said: "Transfer Jiancheng back to Beijing, make up for the host and guest waiter, and immediately send a document." ”
Although in Yang Ming's view, Li Yuan's rebellion at this time was pure seeking death, and there was no chance, but he still had to make all preparations.
So he sent a secret letter to Xiao Maha in Hedong, and asked him to transfer Song Laosheng to Pujin Pass and station, write a letter to Qiao Zhongkui, and ask him to keep an eye on Longmendu.
These two places are the only way to pass through Shanxi.
On the last outing, with Yang Ming's dedication at the expense of his body, Yan Xiaotang and Wei Xianhui were pregnant.
Feng Yuzhi can't use this excuse to complain now.
That night, Yang Ming called Yang Rui, Yang Jin, and Shimin Wuji to have dinner together, during which he told Shimin about the transfer of his brother back to Beijing.
Shimin was very happy, and he had to leave the palace tonight and tell his mother Dou the news.
The eldest grandson Wuji also hopes to leave the palace tomorrow, go home to clean up, and wait for his mother and sister to return to Beijing.
The mourning deadline for Gao and the eldest grandson Wujian has arrived, and after two years and one month, the mother and daughter are already planning to leave for Beijing. (End of chapter)
