He brought more than 500 guards who knew the nature of the water, all of them unarmoured, with horizontal knives in their mouths and short crossbows hanging from their waists, and swam towards the opposite shore in the dark.

As soon as they landed on the shore, they would immediately lay wooden stakes to fix the ropes, and the army behind them would lay planks on the ropes and then quickly cross the river.

On both sides of each plank, there are two round holes to fix with the rope, so as not to slide off the plank, which is the simplest pontoon, which is unstable and easy to have problems.

The Goguryeo army responsible for guarding the dam, the number was small, three or four thousand, all stationed on the opposite bank, and the barracks were all built according to the mountain, and the highest barracks were slightly higher than the water level of the dammed lake, which was responsible for opening the floodgates.

If you want to open the gate immediately after the enemy is not surprised, you need to occupy the highest part of the mountain as quickly as possible.

This requires death squads, and those who are afraid of death can't do this job.

Tonight is already doomed, relying on a large number of casualties to obtain a strategic victory.

Thousands of people who had crossed the river one after another had already attacked the mountain, and they had come to volunteer to lead 1,000 men to put on armor and attack the top of the mountain, and another 2,000 people to cover him and escort him to the top, and a tragic battle began in the night.

Wu Benlang took Zhang Jun with 3,000 men, crossed the river and continued southward, looking for favorable terrain to line up in case of reinforcements from Goguryeo.

Wei Xuan sat in the rear, paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.

He is the boss, and he has to analyze the specific situation to determine when to notify Yuwenshu's main force to cross the river urgently.

If he takes the dam, he needs to defend it, because the enemy army will definitely come to the rescue, but with his current strength, it is enough to withstand it, Jing Yuanheng, Xue Shixiong, and Cui Hongsheng can no longer transfer people, otherwise the east defense line will collapse.

So he sent a ranger to inform Li Jing to help.

"When most of the people cross the river, immediately reinforce the pontoon bridge," Wei Xuan ordered.

His nerves were completely tense, but there was no expression on his face, as the commander-in-chief, he couldn't panic at any time, otherwise if he panicked, there would be chaos below.

At about the hour, the front came to report that enemy reinforcements had been found, the number of whom was unknown.

Wei Xuan immediately ordered the main force to move forward and lined up on Zhang Jun's flank, each with horns, to intercept the enemy.

Deputy Chief Manager Hu Si Wanshan frowned and said, "I didn't expect the enemy army to come so quickly, Li Jing is at least forty miles away from our department, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up." ”

He is the eldest brother of Hu Sizheng, the squire of the military department, and he argues with another king who joined the army, both of whom are Wei Xuan's old subordinates.

Wang argued: "It is difficult to break the formation at night, our army has prepared in advance, the defense line has been formed, and we should be able to carry it tonight, but I am afraid that Li Jing will not be able to arrive tomorrow morning, and I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated." ”

Wei Xuan is also nervous to death at the moment, but the bearing of the main general still has to be there:

"The dam was discovered only after Li Jing notified him to come to investigate, and it was he who asked the general to send troops, this person knows the overall situation, and he will definitely be able to come in time."

In fact, when Li Jing left Yu Zhongwen's side, he had already led his troops to the Yalu River, and when he learned that Wei Xuan had sent troops, he had already accelerated his march.

However, the movement of Wei Xuan's headquarters army was discovered by the guerrilla Wei Zhongmuro, who had already contacted Gao Jianwu, the lord of the west, and the two led an army of 40,000 to the south.

Therefore, Wei Xuan and Li Jing are about to fall into a situation where they are attacked on their backs.

After Xue Shixiong of the Eastern Route Army detected this enemy situation, he urgently notified Yuwenshu and Yu Zhongwen, hoping that they could send troops to intercept it.

"If something happens to Chief Wei, they don't want to go south, they have to rest for four or five days, and they should make some efforts," Xue Shixiong was very dissatisfied with Yu Wenshu and Yu Zhongwen's immobility.

It is true that you are the main force to fight Pyongyang, but the strategy also changes according to the situation, we have suffered heavy casualties in the east and west in order to respond to you, and now Wei Xuan is in deep danger, if you don't send troops, Lao Tzu will not care about the east road, I will save it.

Xue Shixiong, this is a famous general, he knows very well in his heart that if Wei Xuanbu has three longs and two shorts, the whole situation will be a mess, and the barrage dam is too important.

Pang Hui, the deputy head of Didao County, said: "I'm afraid that the general manager won't send troops, looking at their posture, it seems that they are all counting on us to pave the way for them." ”

"Counting on the head of the special man, he dares not to move, Lao Tzu will let the east road out, I see that they still can't move," Xue Shixiong said angrily.

Pang Hui hurriedly persuaded him: "Don't, remove the defense line of the East Road, this crime is against you and me, Your Majesty will not trouble others in the future." ”

"You don't need to say more, I am the main general, and I will bear the responsibility if something happens," Xue Shixiong said coldly: "More than 70,000 elites, dozens of miles of company camps, should have detected the enemy's movements a long time ago, and you still want me to inform you?" Gao Jianwu's tens of thousands of people went south, can they not know? ”

Pang Hui sighed: "I also think that most of them will not come, wait until tomorrow morning, if they don't come, let's leave, it's a matter of the overall situation, I am the deputy director, and I can't let you take all the charges." ”

This person's ancestor is also very awesome, the ancestor Pang Shen was the captain of the Han Shun Emperor period, and Pang Hui has a son who is more famous in history, Pang Yu, the Korean Duke of the Tang Dynasty.

Pang Yu is in Liaodong City right now.

Wei Xuan's attack on the dam this time, just like Li Yunlong's attack on the county seat, affected the entire battle situation, and those who could move followed suit, and both the enemy and us knew very well how important the dam was.

The main force of the Wang Division, which had been hoarded in Sashui, rushed to the dam under the command of Gao Dayang, the great envoy.

Gao Dayang is Gao Yuan's half-brother and Gao Jianwu's half-brother.

The official positions of Goguryeo are divided into 12 levels: the Great Pair of Lu, Yu Zhe, the Great Envoy, the Silk Cloth Head Elder Brother, the Ambassador, the Elder Brother, the Superior Envoy, the Brothers, the Little Envoy, the Festival, the Ancestors, and the Ancient Zou Dajia.

What Gao Dayang took away this time was a full army of 100,000, including 60,000 armored cavalry.

It can be said that if he is killed, the road to Pyongyang will be very smooth.

In the early hours of the morning, the bloody battle on the top of the mountain ended, and he was stabbed three times, but fortunately, they were not the key points, and at this time, the person he was most grateful to was the prince.

I was hit by countless knives, and only three knives broke my armor, and my life was picked up by the prince for me.

Stand on the top of the mountain, remove your armor and bandage the wounds on your body.

Wash the wound with drinking water first, then sprinkle hemostatic medicine and bandage it with a strip of cloth.

You don't dare to clean it up with lake water, it is easy to get infected, and as for the hemostatic medicine, the doctors who accompanied the army all brought it, and they specialized in treating injuries with knives and axes, and the effect was quite good.

This is a minor injury, and if the bleeding does not stop, then you can only wait for death.

It's not that there is no way to stop bleeding, you can burn the wound with a soldering iron, but most people can't bear this, besides, there are only five military doctors in each brigade, and there is only one soldering iron, how many can be saved?

Some people died of pain before they bled to death.

Therefore, in the current medical conditions, if an ordinary soldier suffers an external injury or an internal injury, whether he can be healed depends on luck, and the awesome doctors and high-quality drugs are concentrated in the head, and not everyone can enjoy it.

Sun Simiao doesn't see everyone's illness.

Yang Wanshi was beaten for a while, and he was afraid that he would hang up, not for no reason.

I came to see that the soldiers who were not injured were gathering the corpses of their comrades, and the murderous aura on their bodies gradually precipitated, and they were secretly crying out for luck in their hearts.

If it weren't for the refining armor that blocked so many knives for him this time, he would have been a cold corpse right now.

"Come to the slaves, pile up the corpses of the fallen sons together, burn them, use the soil of their hometowns on their bodies, find a place to bury them, and burn the enemy soldiers a little clean."

Lai Cheng needs to stay here, so the body must be disposed of.

Because after death, the corpse will breed various bacteria, and the existence of these bacteria will make the proteins and sugars on our body decompose into inorganic substances, gases, etc., which is the so-called corpse decay.

If not treated as soon as possible, it will also attract a large number of flies, insects and scavenging organisms, which will become vectors for the transmission of pathogenic bacteria, and once infected, it will be fatal.

Especially now that it's June, the weather is getting hotter, and the corpses will decompose very quickly.

Come to the whole body, although there are few battles, but they are familiar with these things.

Since the dam was captured, Wei Xuan immediately sent people south along the river to inform the main force to step up the crossing of the river, and he would defend this place to ensure the safety of the dam.

In his opinion, as long as Yuwenshu's main force can cross the river smoothly, then the enemy army against him will inevitably abandon him and deal with Yuwenshu, after all, he is just a dam watcher, and Yuwenshu is your old nest, which is more important, you should be able to distinguish it, right?

Li Jing had already discovered the pursuers behind, but there were all cavalry under his command, and he couldn't catch up at all, but the cavalry crossing the river was very difficult, and the pontoon bridge was unstable.

Fortunately, Wei Xuan's side can still withstand it, and the time left for Li Jing to cross the river is quite generous.

"Yizhi Wende has also moved, and the main force is exhausted, it is completely a decisive battle, something is wrong," the Chinese army tent twenty miles east of the Black Bone City, Mai Tie Staff received the news that the enemy army in the Black Bone City was exhausted.

"There must be a demon when things go wrong, so many enemy troops are deliberately avoiding us, as soon as General Manager Li went upstream, the opposite side moved," the military general Zhou Shaofan frowned and said: "It can be seen that something must have happened to the upstream dam, Yizhi Wende is trying to contain us." ”

Su Lie said: "If Manager Li's prediction is not bad, then Manager Wei may have appeared at the Feiyanling Dam, which is the place where I must attack and the enemy must be saved, and I am afraid that there will be a big war." ”

Mai Tiecane said: "I can't go, the enemy wants to enter again, it is exactly what I want, I ordered all departments to reorganize the army, we are here, and we will fight a decisive battle with Yizhi Wende." ”

"No, it still depends on the movement of the main force," Su Lie said: "If the chief manager of Wei takes the dam, he must notify the chief manager to cross the river as soon as possible, if the chief manager does not take the river, then the dam has not been taken, and it is not appropriate for our department to fight a decisive battle." ”

"That's true, we can't rush yet," Mai Mengcai said.

Mai Tiezhu pondered for a long time and nodded: "The materials for building a pontoon bridge have been prepared, as long as the main force moves south, our department will immediately build a bridge." (End of chapter)
