"It's a mess," the third Mai Ji ran into the military tent, and said with an ugly face:

"The defense line of the eldest brother (Mai Mengcai) has been defeated, after the enemy broke through, he has already rushed to the general manager, and the east has received a military report that a large number of enemy troops are approaching the eastern flank of the general manager, most of them are the remnants of Liaodong who are wandering outside, and the soldiers of the general manager have not even seen a shadow."

Mai Tiezhu's eyes narrowed, and his face was gloomy: "Immediately pass on my general's order, concentrate the troops and horses to attack Yizhi Wende, and you must not let the Yu General Management Department be damaged." ”

In the military tent, Su Lie said in a deep voice: "The pontoon bridge has been built, but people can't pass, if the soldiers of the chief manager are not here, then it is very likely that they will go to support the chief of Wei, in this way, not only can not save the chief of Wei, but the main force of the chief is caught between the east and west, and the situation is extremely unfavorable." ”

Shi Wanbao snorted coldly: "It's a good situation, and he was dragged into the way he is now, how sad it is for Mr. Wei." ”

Everyone was almost certain that Wei Xuan was about to finish playing, and the scouts arranged on the opposite bank had already come to report that the main Goguryeo force hoarded in Sasu had gone upstream.

The upper reaches of Yalushui and Sashui are mountainous terrain, the middle reaches are plains, and the lower reaches are delta plains, which are conducive to heavy cavalry combat, and it would be good for Wei Xuan's cavalry to have one or two thousand, and they couldn't carry it at all.

Su Lie said in a deep voice: "Our cavalry, there are only 6,000, give me all the governors, let me cross the river, go to attack Sashui, maybe I can relieve the siege of the chief guard."

If you want to save Wei Xuan, in fact, there is only one way at the moment, which is to go to the sashui water.

Gao Dayang took away 100,000 troops, so the troops stationed near Sashui now must be weak, if he can take Sashui, it is equivalent to cutting off Gao Dayang's connection with Pyongyang, and there is a great chance to force the other side to come back.

And Pyongyang's army did not dare to go out of the city casually, because Laihu'er was watching, and if they dared to come out, Laihu'er would directly attack Pyongyang.

Li Jing is going to Sashui right now.

Mai Tie Cane is not the kind of person who hesitates, no matter whether it is right or wrong, as long as he recognizes it, he will go all the way to the dark.

"Xue Zuo led five thousand step armor and crossed the river with you, don't worry about me here, under the command of the chief manager, he is the most elite of my Great Sui, how can he be defeated by barbarians."

Su Lie said uneasily: "The chief manager can't be careless, just try to contain the black bone enemy army, as for the remnants of Liaodong, after the chief manager finds out, he will definitely lead the army to help, and then it will be a change of advantage, which will be of great benefit to me." ”

"Got it, you go quickly," McIron staff urged.

Su Lie hurriedly mobilized troops and horses to cross the river before Xue Zuo, this time he took away 6,000 cavalry, 4,000 for light cavalry, 2,000 for heavy cavalry, after crossing the river, he had to go straight to the enemy camp in Sashui to investigate the situation, and Xue Zuo was responsible for attacking the fortification.

The three solid pontoon bridges were originally built for Yuwenshu and them, but now they are using them themselves.

Not long after Su Lie crossed the river, he met Li Jing's rangers, and only then did he know that Li Jing had also gone to Sashui.

"What's going on with the black bones? Why didn't the main force of our army pass through the river? The Ranger asked.

The Ranger Scout is responsible for detecting the enemy situation and the communication between the various units of the friendly army, so he must find out the situation.

"Chief Manager Yu was dragged, and the main movement of the Chief Manager is not yet known, it may have gone to Feiyanling," the third elder Mai Ji, who came out with Su Lie, replied.

The ranger sighed: "Our unit is already approaching Sashui, please General Su rush to support." ”

Su Lie nodded, flicked his horsewhip, and took four thousand light horsemen on the road in advance.

Sashui, that is, the Qingchuan River in later generations, flows in the same east-west direction as the Yalu River, and on the map, it is roughly parallel, separated by two hundred miles from north to south.

This is the last barrier in the north of Pyongyang City, the second time in history Yang Guang's expedition to Goguryeo, that is, in Sasu suffered a great defeat, Eulji Wendeok dam to store water, flooded the Seventh Army, and successively surrendered four times, Yang Guang was fooled four times.

Xin Shixiong died in the Battle of Sashui.

But this battle was actually not a turning point in the defeat of the Sui army, the real turning point was that Yang Xuangan burned a fire behind Yang Guang's buttocks.

At present, there is no barrage dam in Sashui, because around the riverbank, even the camp for dozens of miles is its own people.

However, most of the barracks are empty now, and the people were taken away by Gao Dayang to go to Wei Xuan.

After Li Jing arrived, he took advantage of the mobility of the cavalry to change places with one shot, and the Sashui defenders were stunned, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

They didn't know how many people the Sui army came, anyway, there were reports of enemy attacks everywhere.

Guarding here was Goguryeo's eldest brother Yu Sueshi, who was almost a general, and he immediately reported the military situation here to Gao Dayang and the direction of Pyongyang.

And he himself personally led 5,000 heavy cavalry, wandering outside, looking for the enemy's movements.

The Great Sui has the advantage of armor, and Goguryeo now knows everything, but those who have seen it and those who have not seen it are two different things.

After all, human nature is to only believe in one's own eyes, and if you put it on the battlefield, you don't know if you don't fight.

Li Jing's part is not concentrated, but scattered, attacking and harassing everywhere, just to give the enemy army an illusion that it is embattled.

After Yang Yuanqing had just led people to burn down a few barracks, he ran into a village that had long been empty, and there was not a single grain of food, but there was well water, but he didn't dare to drink it.

And the thousand-heavy ride he was carrying, the water bladder was already empty, and he urgently needed to replenish drinking water.

"Take a walk to the east and see if you can find some streams to replenish the water for the war horse," Yang Yuanqing didn't dare to stay in one place for too long, so he took people to the east again.

As a result, he went directly to meet the five thousand heavy horses of the eldest brother Yu Sueshi.

Put it on others, one thousand against five thousand, the same as the troops, most of them dare not go up.

But Yang Yuanqing dared, as soon as he came, this kid had already gained confidence from Liaodong here, and besides, his personality was like this.

Since the old Yang family beat Yang Suyang and asked their brothers, many of the next generation are this kind of goods, a fierce batch, Yang Wanshi is an exception, he is a coward.

The two armies were just in a steppe area, colliding head-on.

No one moved, Yang Yuanqing was thinking about how to rush into battle, and Yu Mo was really waiting for Yang Yuanqing to run away.

Heavy riding to heavy riding, whoever runs will suffer, in the eyes of Yu Sueshi, so many people will definitely have to run when they see me.

But he was wrong.

Yang Yuanqing and the others were already slowly approaching their side, and their speed was getting faster and faster.

Good guy, you're going to fight with me, aren't you? is a brave man, Yu Sue Shi immediately ordered the whole army to attack.

The heavy cavalry of the two sides was like two brute bulls, and they collided with each other so hard.

At night, Su Lie, who was temporarily resting, received a report from the scout:

"There is a war fifteen miles ahead, and it seems to be over, but the night is too dark to distinguish friend from foe."

Su Lie didn't dare to be careless, and immediately ordered to be on guard, and everyone dragged their tired bodies on their horses and set up formations.

After a while, one of the scouts returned, "Ahead is my own people, and it is the heavy cavalry of Yang Zhiguan. ”

Su Lie was overjoyed in an instant, I marched desperately, and finally saw you.

So he led the army and slowly approached in the direction where Yang Yuanqing was.

After Yang Yuanqing learned that Su Lie was coming, he was overjoyed, and he rode a horse to see him as soon as possible:

"Dingfang, Dingfang, it's too good time for you to come," Yang Yuanqing reined in his war horse and laughed: "I thought that our gang would become a lone army, but I didn't expect you to come, now it's okay, with you, don't worry about taking the sashui." ”

The night was too dark for Su Lie to see the surrounding scene clearly, and if it was daytime, he would definitely be dumbfounded.

Because the wilderness as far as his eye could see, there were enemy corpses all over it, and Yang Yuanqing won a great victory with one thousand against five thousand.

This is the narrow road where the brave wins.

Such a victory is a great encouragement to the morale of the Sui army, and it will make the soldiers feel that the enemy army is so brittle?

It's just vulnerable.

Su Lie said: "Where is Manager Li?" ”

Yang Yuanqing said: "I have already sent someone to contact, in a battle during the day, I broke the enemy's Sashui heavy cavalry, now is a good opportunity to take advantage of the victory and pursuit, you don't stop, follow me." ”

Su Lie pondered for a moment and nodded.

Yusue Minoru was five thousand to one, and he almost hung up, and fled with more than a thousand remnants.

On the battlefield, most of the time, the real casualties do not come from the battle between the two armies, but the process of one side fleeing and the other side chasing, and being chased is the most fatal.

It's really tough, but not many people will die, I'm afraid that I will run and chase you, and you won't have long eyes behind your ass, and you won't be able to hide.

After the two discussed the enemy situation on the road, they simply didn't wait for Li Jing, and directly killed him in the direction where Yu Sue Shi fled.

Isn't Yang Yuanqing short of water, and when he attacks the enemy's lair, he will naturally have it.

Two days later, as Xue Zuo's elite infantry arrived, the Goguryeo barracks distributed on the north bank of Sashui fell into a sea of fire.

Gao Dayang, who received the news, was reluctant to come back.

Because Wei Xuan's department had been defeated by him, and Wei Xuan himself, under the escort of his own family, fled to the top of the mountain to defend it.

There are now only more than 3,000 people left in the dam camp, and the rest are either killed or defeated.

Wei Xuan was already extremely angry, he hated Li Jing, and he hated Yu Wenshu even more.

It was Li Jing who asked him to come, and it was Yuwenshu who pitted him.

Looking at Laizhen, who no longer had the strength to fight, Wei Xuan was respectful: "Liulang is good, he didn't insult your family." ”

Leaning on the ground, he looked like a dilapidated face:

"Grandpa once told me that in life, don't put your life in the hands of others, and now it seems that this is indeed the case, our move is too risky, and it is whimsical to expect others to save it."

Wei Xuan sighed: "On the battlefield, the emphasis is on coordination and cooperation to maintain strategic unity, I took the initiative to fall into danger, that is, to eliminate hidden worries for the main force, but it is a pity that Li Jing abandoned me, and Yuwen Shu delayed the military plane, which is not a strategic mistake, but a human fault." ”

Lai endured the severe pain of his injury: "If I can survive this time, I will go to His Majesty and sue Yuwenshu." ”

Wei Xuan didn't speak again, he felt that they were going to die this time.

At present, the defense in the camp will completely collapse until the next strong attack of the enemy army.

The countdown to his life has begun.

I don't know how long later, at the foot of the distant mountain, a dense trumpet sounded in the enemy's formation.

Wei Xuan sat up abruptly and looked at the generals beside him:

"What does this horn mean?"

One of the generals, who was familiar with the signals in the Goguryeo army, said: "It seems to be an enemy attack, so our reinforcements have arrived?" ”

Wei Xuan's eyes widened, and the desire to survive was rekindled.
