The 20,000 people under Wei Yunqi's command, this is the border army, the border army, it is very capable of fighting, as soon as he came into contact with Gao Jianwu, he was defeated, which is enough to show the combat effectiveness of Gao Jianwu's department.

Of the eight mountain cities east of Liaodong City, Wei Yunqi burned three, and the remaining six totaled 16,000 people, and they had already come to the side of Wunu Mountain.

Gao Jianwu is an adult in the west, and his nest is Liaodong City, if he loses it here, he, an adult in the west, will become an empty shelf.

Therefore, there is only one core of Gao Jianwu's entire defense deployment: Liaodong City cannot be lost.

Because there was a hoarding of grain that could last for half a year, as long as Liaodong City could carry it until August, the Sui army would retreat.

"Xiuyan Niangniang City, Anshi City, Futu City, and Victory City were broken by Shi Shen, but now they are being taken over by Xin Shixiong, these two Sui armies belong to different generals, how should we choose?" See Zok Catalogue.

Samzuo can be understood as Changshi, that is, a staff officer in the army, and the surname Ketulu is Ke, which comes from the surname given by the first lord of the Goguryeo Dynasty, Gojumong.

Gao Jianwu rode on his horse and said with a smile:

"Yang Guang has already shown the list of twenty-four road governors and marching routes, showing the world, Xin Shixiong is the head of the East Road, it can be seen that he is playing lowly and extravagant, Mai Tiezhu is the head of Xiangping Road, this is the black bone, these two roads are under Li Jing's control, these three have already emerged, it can be seen that their task is to go south, Shi Shen finished fighting the four cities and retreated to Liaodong, it can be seen that it belongs to the Sui army that attacked Liaodong, these two parts, one side has treasure armor and divine soldiers, one side does not, of course, it is to pick no fight."

"Are we going to let Xin Shixiong go?" Ketulu said.

Gao Jianwu said: "Because he won't care about us, he is going south, reluctant to consume with us in Liaodong, of course, for the sake of safety, we should test first, if Xin Shixiong does not move, we will concentrate the main force to attack the enemy army outside Liaodong City, before that, Ling Fen Yu Hun led the troops to attack the Shi Shen Department, they escorted thousands of people from our clan, they can't go fast, and they can't go far." ”

Trunk is a military position, similar to a general.

Gao Jianwu calculated that Xin Shixiong and Shi Shen did not belong to the same part, and the division of labor was different, so he planned to focus on Shi Shen, because Shi Shen belonged to the siege troops.

Wei Yunqi retreated after a big defeat, and the remnants were incorporated into Tu Wanxu's headquarters, and Tu Wanxu was not easy to ask for guilt, after all, Wei Yunqi was with the main force of others, and there was a huge disparity in strength, and there was no advantage of the terrain, so it was good to be able to resist for so long.

And the history department has not returned for a long time, and Tu Wanxu has already guessed that it is not good.

Shi Shen's return route, all mountainous, belongs to eight mountains, one water and one field, if this is caught up, it is impossible to line up at all, it just so happens that the emperor's will is also sent, Tu Wanxu did not have time to hesitate, and directly went south to save Shi Shen.

If Wei Yunqi and Shi Xiangbu are all defeated, his southern cover will be gone, and he can only rely on Li Jing's Xin Shixiong at that time, but Xin Shixiong is the main force to the south, how can you move people?

All the siege equipment, all retreated in the direction of the Three Buddha Village, Li Jing felt bad, if you withdraw like this, Liaodong City will raise troops to fight, and I will have to carry it.

Let's not talk about whether I can bear it, I'm going south?

Tu Wanxu 150,000 people, just like that, it became a plate of loose sand.

You can't say he's wrong, you can't say he's right, it's hard to tell what's right from wrong.

As soon as Tu Wanxu left, the army of Zhongmurwei in Liaodong City was dispatched, chasing Tu Wanxu's palace troops to fight, knowing that he had already been pulled in, Li Jing, who knew that he had already been pulled in, made up his mind, and ordered Mai Tiezhu to lead 10,000 people to the south to arrange a defensive line to prevent the enemy army from leaving the city in Liaodong from returning to the division, and he himself led the remaining more than 20,000 people plus the 6,000 siege troops left by Tu Wanxu to attack Liaodong City.

This is called the salvation of the enemy.

On April 17, the offensive and defensive battle of Liaodong officially began, and in the mountainous area 60 miles northwest of Wunu Mountain, the Sui army and Goguryeo, a total of more than 100,000 troops, also launched a frontal battle.

Outside the city of Liaodong, a full 8,000-strong supervising team was arrayed behind, and whoever dared to flee would be immediately killed.

Li Jing sat in the Chinese army and commanded the siege troops to attack in formation.

More than 40 catapults, hundreds of heavy crossbows, and eight ladders were all pulled up, and Li Jing knew that the current defense of Liaodong City was empty, and it was the best time to attack the city, and he must go all out to get it.

In just one morning, the Sui army had already lost more than 2,000 people, and Li Jing did not order the troops to be collected, but ordered the warlord to force the soldiers to continue to move forward, even if they were filled with corpses, they had to fill in Liaodong City for me.

If he loses again here, Liaodong will not fight, and it will be a situation of rout on all fronts.

Outside the city of Liaodong, corpses are everywhere, as the sunset, the moat is filled, and the ladder slowly advances in the direction of the city wall, if this thing is hit by a stone, it will be wasted.

"Linghu Chang, Guo Siben."

"The last general!" Both of them are out at the same time.

Li Jing ordered: "Hurry to the front line, command the climbing city, and buy time for the advance of the ladder, if the ladder is not reached, the servants cannot be withdrawn, and those who violate the order will be killed." ”

"Yes!"

The two quickly left and went to the headquarters to make arrangements.

As the night fell, the torches outside the city were full of sky, and Ling Hu Chang and Guo Siben each took 2,000 foot soldiers and rushed towards the city wall with a ladder.

The ladder was prepared by Tu Wanxu in advance, and the height was high enough to climb the city wall, which was pure cannon fodder and would kill many people.

On the catapult on the Sui army's side, the loaded oil bombs were made of oil-soaked cowhide wrapped in cobblestone layer by layer, and then ignited, all of which were thrown in the direction of Wengcheng to provide cover for the climbing troops on both wings.

As long as they are hit by this thing, the soldiers are basically ineffective, and the catapults and heavy crossbows erected by the enemy on the city wall cannot be carried.

This is the consumption of life, it depends on who consumes whom.

Eight cloud ladders, two were smashed, and the rest were successfully close to the city wall, Li Jing immediately put the eight thousand governors on the top, and personally led two thousand people to the rear.

Yang Yuanqing was the most fierce, and his headquarters suffered extremely heavy losses, but he did not retreat a step, and constantly urged the soldiers to go to the city, two thousand five hundred people, only six hundred remained.

But these six hundred went up the ladder.

As soon as he went up, the pressure on the other five ladders suddenly decreased.

The siege is like this, how many soldiers can there be on the city walls? Once he was climbed on the city wall, the defense was immediately chaotic, and the more this time, the more he couldn't retreat from his side, and if he retracted in one breath, it would not work if he wanted to mention it again.

With the 600 people of Yang Yuanqing's department successfully ascending the city wall, relying on the advantage of weapons, they directly killed the city wall in the northwest of Liaodong City, as long as it was a short battle, the loss of the Sui army was almost negligible.

The only things that can deal damage to the refined armor are stone throwing and heavy crossbows, and nothing else.

Ordinary arrows could not break through the refined armor at all, and the morale of the Goguryeo defenders was drained all of a sudden, and the number of deserters increased sharply.

More and more soldiers climbed the city wall, and the two thousand Goguryeo soldiers guarding the urn city directly pulled the white flag and surrendered, because looking at the urn city from the city wall, this is from high to low, you can't shoot me, but I shoot you casually.

After Hula was shot down in a lake, there was no other way but to surrender.

With the fall of the western city wall of Liaodong City and the opening of the city gate, Li Jing ordered a large army to enter the city and clear the defenders in the city.

This process was very long, lasting about four days, and the fire in the city was soaring, and the sound of fighting was endless.

Looking at the sky-high fire in the north, the great model of Liaodong City, who was fighting fiercely with the wheat iron staff, knew that the general trend had gone, so he urgently withdrew his troops to the east, completely left the Liaodong defense line, and left Gao Jianwu behind.

And Gao Jianwu didn't know that Liaodong City had been lost, and he was still fighting with Tu Wanxu for his life.

It wasn't until three days later that he received military information about the fall of Liaodong.

"Zhongmurowei, you bastard, how dare you leave the city without permission?" Gao Jianwu fainted directly.

After scolding a few words in hatred, he also withdrew to the east in the direction of Liaodong.

They didn't dare to retreat south, there was Xin Shixiong there, as long as the other party saw that they were a remnant army that had fled, they would definitely not let go of the opportunity.

The Great Battle of Liaodong, after sixteen days of fierce battles, ended with the city of Liaodong being broken by Li Jing.

Tu Wanxu didn't say anything on his face, and his heart exploded.

This is my Liaodong, and I was beaten by you.

It took another six days to clean up the battlefield, and Li Jing's troops suffered heavy losses, with 6,000 killed and nearly 10,000 wounded of the 25,000-strong siege troops.

Wei Yunqi's department was also crippled, and the history was even more miserable, and he almost hung up, counting the loss of Yu Culture and Culture in the north, the battle damage was amazing.

Ashina Danai, who was supposed to be cannon fodder, suffered the least loss.

The Goguryeo Division, the total number of casualties in the Liaodong defense line was 17,000, 18,000 prisoners, and the loss of Liaodong City and Wuli Luo City, and the 30,000 troops who went south of Wuli Luo City were attacked by Duan Wenzhen and Yu Wenhua and the whole army.

In Liaodong City, the generals of Li Jing's department and the generals of Tuwanxu's department had already quarreled.

It was right to defeat Liaodong, but the Mai Tie Staff was disabled and could no longer go south, and the Black Bone City was the only way to go south, which made the Mai Tie Staff angry.

"Didn't you go to fight Gao Jianwu? What about people? Mai Tiecane directly fired at Tu Wanxu and said: "Greedy for merit, so that our department had to fight Liaodong, now it's okay, Lao Tzu's soldiers are all injured, let Lao Tzu take what to fight Wugu City?" ”

"This is ridiculous," Wei Yunqi sneered: "Fighting Gao Jianwu is His Majesty's order, and fighting Liaodong is Li Jing's order, you blame us, everyone is in Liaodong, is it just us playing with our lives, you are watching the play on the sidelines?" ”

Mai Tiezhu said angrily: "Your Majesty asked you to fight Gao Jianwu, but did not let you give up Liaodong to fight, and dared to transfer all the besieging troops away, without building an inch, what face do you have to face Your Majesty?" ”

"Fart Nima!" Shi Shen, who had a color hanging on his arm, slapped the table with his other hand and said:

"Gao Jianwu is the main force of the enemy army in Liaodong, if we hadn't dragged it, you would have been able to attack the city so smoothly? Not an inch? How dare you say it again, Lao Tzu hacked you today. ”

Shi Shen followed Yang Guang south to destroy Chen, which was also the Son of Heaven Yuancong, so he didn't know the iron rod at all.

The two groups of generals quarreled more and more intensely, but Li Jing and Tu Wanxu were silent, because they both had grievances in their hearts.

What is angry is that you robbed me of all the credit, Li Jing is angry, you don't say hello, so you specially threw me in the Three Buddha Village, if the Zhong Murwei of Liaodong City did not chase you, but came to fight the Three Buddha Village, didn't you sell me directly?

The verbal battle between the two groups showed no sign of stopping at all, until Wei Xuan, the head of the Eastern Route Army, arrived in Liaodong City.
