511 Weapon Superiority
Xin Shixiong entered the Liaodong Peninsula and began to build a defensive line, and his first task was that the enemy troops on the peninsula could not leak out and affect the main force going south.
Under what circumstances do you play lowly luxury? First solve the dozen or so mountain cities east of the humble luxury.
Humble luxury is the area of Dalian, which is an offshore area, and Xin Shixiong still has a long way to go if he wants to reach humble luxury.
So the best way is to block and wait for work.
If there is no support from the water division, the connection with the Black Bone City will be cut off, and after a long time, there will be problems with the logistics support.
After the Sui army occupied Liaodong City, there was an unexpected joy, that is, there was a huge amount of grain and grass materials hoarded here, some of which were burned by the enemy, and some were too late to burn.
Originally, the Great Sui was still short of food, but after conquering Liaodong, he was full all of a sudden.
Historically, Yang Guang attacked Goguryeo twice before, but failed to defeat Liaodong.
The topography of the Liaodong Peninsula is high in the middle, low in the surrounding, and the mountains in the middle are the remaining veins of the Changbai Mountain.
Xin Shixiong wants to intercept the enemy army on the peninsula here, and the heavy troops should be set up in the low corridors on the north and south sides, as for the high ground in the middle, it is not easy to deploy, so he can only take Lotus City, Xiangyang City, Mingcia Temple, and Lishan City as soon as possible, so as to build a defensive line with these four cities.
Shi Wanshou and Linghu Chang were deployed in the lowlands on the north and south sides of the peninsula, separated by nearly 300 miles.
Yang Wanshi led the three top 4,500 people, responsible for attacking the four cities such as Lotus City, and Guo Si had the ability to ride two 5,000 people as a response.
The rest of the armies occupied favorable terrain, water sources, access roads, and defensive lines.
"Send more ranger scouts to explore the surrounding area, and report immediately if you have a vision," Xin Shixiong studied the terrain of the peninsula in a makeshift camp at the foot of a mountain.
Pang Ben said on the side: "It's very strange, so far, we have only encountered a small group of enemy troops, and they retreated when they saw me, Deng Wei said that there are more than 10,000 enemy troops hoarded on the peninsula, I don't know if it is accurate." ”
Asian general Zhou Zhong'an said: "Deng Taishou's military report, so far it is still accurate, there is not much access, in addition to the water division, that is, the appearance of four or five thousand people, the other more than ten mountain cities, add up to 10,000, it is good, but whether the luxury water division is gone or not, we don't know." ”
The Great Sui expedition to Goguryeo, the head of the twenty-four routes, only one way, Yang Guang can't manage it, that is, the navy that came to Hu'er, it's not that he doesn't want to take care of it, it's that he can't reach it, people are floating on the sea, and communication is completely cut off.
If the lowly sailor didn't leave, the threat to Xin Shixiong would be quite terrifying, so Xin Shixiong was very careful and didn't dare to venture at all.
"As long as the north and south defense lines are formed, it doesn't matter if the sailor is not there," Xin Shixiong said in a deep voice: "We still have to be cautious, wait until Yang Wanshi takes the four cities, strictly guard against it, closely monitor the water sources in various places, and see what news the scouts in front can find, if the sailor leaves, we will march to the southwest." ”
Yang Wanshi hit the four cities, it was not easy, mainly because he was too tired to climb the mountain.
"It's really a place where birds don't, why do people live in the mountains?" Yang Wanshi complained to the lieutenant general beside him.
The deputy general also wondered: "There is no water in the mountains, how do they get water?" ”
Yang Wanshi squatted down, picked up a pool of water from the stream with both hands and drank a few sips, and said:
"Good water, such good water for these barbarians to drink, it's really a waste, this should be downstream, send a few riders upstream to check and see where this stream comes from."
Mountain spring water, there must be springs, mainly from the mountain soaking, that is, the rainwater falls on the mountain, slowly penetrates down, forms a waterway in the gap of the mountain, and then flows out through the spring to form a stream, this spring water, from time to time.
There is also an artesian spring with groundwater backflow, which can be seen in low-lying areas, and this kind of spring water is continuous.
From ancient times to the present, where people live, there must be water, Yang Wan stone Dingshan City's water, must be taken from the mountain, there is a mountain there is water, mountains and rivers always depend on each other.
The five horsemen marched upstream, winding seven or eight miles, and they found an enemy camp.
The five hurriedly dismounted, bolted the horses into the forest, and then cautiously groped forward to check the situation.
The camp is not large, only seven or eight wooden tents of various sizes, which are covered with wild grass and relatively hidden.
The rangers were very patient, nesting in the grass without making a sound, quietly watching the movement in the distance.
After a while, I saw dozens of civilians dressed as strong men carrying buckets of water to fetch water, and it turned out that behind the tent, there was a pool of water, formed by a spring in the mountain, from which they carried water and sent it up the mountain.
One ranger returned to report the situation, while the remaining four remained in place.
After Yang Wanshi received the news, he immediately allocated 200 soldiers to the brigade commander Li Song and ordered him to go and check.
After Li Song led the people to the destination, he did not make a noise, but continued to check the path of these water-carrying people up the mountain.
"This road up the hill is quite secretive, and may be used as the main direction of our army," the adjutant replied and whispered.
Yang Wanshi fought from the front, which was very difficult, mainly because the road up the mountain was really not easy to walk, and the guards were wearing heavy armor, and when they climbed up, they had no strength.
But the path that Li Song discovered, although it was winding and winding, was very easy to walk, and there was no need for the guards to climb up.
"It's all hidden, let's move again at night, slaughter all the mongrels in the camp first, and then go up the mountain along this road," Li Song ordered everyone to hide themselves, and then wait for the night.
After Yang Wanshi received the news, he immediately sent someone to contact Guo Siben's light cavalry and asked him to keep an eye on the water sources everywhere, but don't make a noise, he wants to attack the city by the enemy's water transportation route.
On their side, all refined weapons, and the Goguryeo soldiers on the mountain, a batch of miserable equipment, a shield made of wicker, plus a knife, this is a qualified soldier.
Mainly because the place is small, the resources are limited, and the good equipment is given to those big cities, and the mountain cities mainly rely on the terrain advantages to resist the Sui army.
If nothing else, you hide behind the walls and condescendingly throw stones down, which is no less lethal than a bow and arrow.
Yang Wanshi suffered this loss, because he was not afraid of knives and guns when he refined his armor, but he was afraid of stones and was hit, which was an internal injury, not to mention that there was no good place to settle on the mountainside.
Once a person has broken his foot, he is useless.
After nightfall, Li Song led 200 people into the waterhole camp, and killed all the Goguryeo soldiers in the camp, who were no more than 100 in the camp, leaving not a single one alive, and on his side, there were only a few wounded.
So a brigade of two hundred men trotted up the hill along the path, with six men in the front, carrying a wooden beam that had been unloaded from the waterhole camp, which was used to smash the door.
The city wall on the periphery of the mountain city should have a door, this is Li Song's judgment, how can he carry water in it if there is no door? You can't climb over the walls with a bucket of water, can you?
As soon as he approached the first wall, a few cold arrows swished out.
But Li Song's side is not afraid at all, everyone knows that as long as you don't throw stones, I won't be afraid of you.
"Slam the door!" Li Song let out a low shout, and the guards made way for the six people who were carrying the wooden beams, and then divided seven or eight more people, and together they hugged the wooden beams and slammed into the door that was not very strong.
With just one click, the door was smashed.
"The platoon men are lined up on both sides, continue to go up the mountain, the archers do not shoot arrows, keep them for use," Li Song held a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right hand, relying on the illumination of torches, and led people to charge towards the mountain city on the top of the mountain.
He had never fought such a safe battle in his life, with a refining shield on his back, his heart was very relaxed, not to mention that the two hundred of them were all armor.
In this way, after a fierce battle in the middle of the night, Li Song's 200-man brigade took Lotus Mountain City, killed 600 enemies, captured more than 2,000 civilians, wounded 27 himself, and did not die.
Yang Wanshi inherited the family style of the Yang family, and ordered the troops to be surrendered without leaving a single one, and all the strong men were driven out of the city, and worked as coolies in the middle of the mountain to strengthen the city walls.
Controlling the water source, you can control the mountain city, Yang Wanshi deployed troops in various water sources, and his defense line, with the four cities being taken one after another, has begun to take shape.
Xin Shixiong also sent Pang Tao's 3,000 bows and arrows, stationed them in the four cities, and passed the news to Li Jing.
Only by building a defensive line here, can the wheat iron rod hit the black bones with peace of mind.
The Black Bone City must be taken within ten days, because after ten days, the main force of Yuwenshu's Chinese army will go south from here.
But the black bones, very difficult to fight, the river here is vertical and horizontal, there is a large tributary of the Yalu River, the Love River, and the Love River has diverted out of the old Maoshan River, Niu Maosheng River, Badao River, Cao River and other more than 2,000 large and small rivers.
Therefore, the love river is the mother river in the Dandong area of Liaoning, and the black bone city is in Dandong.
There are more than 30 mountain cities here, among which the Phoenix Mountain City, with 15,000 soldiers, is the largest mountain city in the whole Goguryeo.
"In ten days, it is impossible for us to take the black bones, and if we fight according to this method, it will be impossible for the main force of the chief manager to go south as scheduled," Su Lie pointed to the star-studded mountain city road on the map:
"Looking at its distribution, each echoes, if I divide my troops to fight, it is easy to be contained, it is better to encircle, wait until the army goes south, and then slowly figure it out."
Mai Tiezhu frowned and said: "Encirclement and suppression, it is not a long-term solution, there are heavy troops in the area of the black bones, once the defense line is broken, it will intrude on my main force to go south, or should we concentrate our forces to fight the black bones and Phoenix Mountain, other mountain cities are bound to be saved, and I can form a containment, which is to attack instead of defend." ”
Su Lie objected: "The task of the Black Bone City is to block my main force from going south, if I go to attack, I may not engage in battle, once I wander all sides and wait for an opportunity to find my main force, then it will not be able to surround it, you must know, who will fight Pyongyang, Goguryeo is clear, people know that it is not us." ”
This is Yang Guang's pot, but the second time in history he attacked Goguryeo, Yang Guang corrected it, but unfortunately there was a Yang Xuan sense that time.
Sui died, Yang Xuangan made great contributions, if he hadn't rebelled in the rear and fought Goguryeo for the second time, he would have taken it.
"I agree with what Manager Su meant," the boss Mai Mengcai said, "Since my father is hesitant, it is better to report to Manager Li for a decision." ”
Mai Tiezhu pondered for a moment and nodded: "Then let's see what the chief manager means." ”
