Under Yu Zhongwen, he is the right guard, and his combat effectiveness is extremely terrifying, but there are enemy troops in the east and west, and there is a big river in the south, in this case, he can only break through to the north, and then find favorable terrain to re-array.

But when he withdrew, he made a miserable wheat.

Hit the snake and hit the three inches, attack the enemy and attack the weakness, and the wheat iron rod is this weakness right now.

Yizhi Wende could see that Yu Zhongwen's department was not easy to gnaw, and the wheat iron rod that had lost Su Lie's department, Xue Zuo's department, Mai Mengcai's department, and Zhu Longsheng's department was left.

Gao Jianwu saw that Yizhi Wende's black bone army gave up on Yu Zhongwen and turned to surround Mai Tiecane, and he also adjusted his troops and horses very cooperatively, and gradually came towards the Mai Tiecane Department.

The strength of the army can be seen at a glance, because in the Great Sui, the left and right Yiwei are the most elite of the twelve guards, and the left and right guards are the most elite in the world.

These two houses and two bathrooms can be distinguished just by looking at the head, and five feet seven inches is the minimum standard, equivalent to one meter seven.

That is to say, the left and right Yiwei and the left and right Beishen Mansions have a minimum height of one meter seven, and they are all burly and stout, and you don't want to be thin and thin.

On the Goguryeo side, there are a lot of short people, thin and small, and the little man is a little frightened when he sees the big man.

Therefore, Yizhi Wende planned to eat the wheat iron rod first, and then turn to clean up Yu Zhongwen.

But Yu Zhongwen didn't eat dry rice either, otherwise Yang Guang wouldn't have let him command the right guards who came to protect his children.

When retreating north, Tian Shishi, who was in charge of the palace, noticed that something was wrong with the enemy army, and the barbarians chasing after his ass seemed to be driving them away, rather than really pursuing.

So he directly ordered that the army behind the palace stop, adjust the shape, and line up to the rear, and the Goguryeo soldiers who were chasing behind him also stopped moving.

"Why, they're feintting?" Tian Shishi hurriedly said to the flag officer: "Report to the chief officer, there is a change in the rear, and the wheat iron rod is afraid of being surrounded." ”

In Yu Zhongwen's opinion, Mai Tiecane can't be hung, he has just been knighted, and he is His Majesty's favorite, if he lets Mai Tiecane die here, I'm afraid that after he goes back, the emperor will settle accounts with him.

But in the absence of reinforcements, he and the two armies of Wende and Gao Jianwu of Yizhi were stumbling to the death, and if the loss of the right Yiwei was too heavy to go south, he could not bear this responsibility.

After thinking about it, he planned to stop the retreat to the north, line up the periphery, and ask for help from Liaodong.

There should be more than 10,000 people in the headquarters of the wheat iron cane, which should be able to carry it for a few days.

"Let's fight, it will take at least ten days to wait for reinforcements, and the wheat iron rod is now surrounded, and it can't resist for so long," Zheng Detong, who joined the army, admonished.

Yu Zhongwen waved his hand: "It won't take ten days, I ask Your Majesty to send troops to support, it is to go to the east to fill the gap in Xue Shixiong, I have already sent someone to send a message to Xue Shixiong, and in two days, we must approach our department, and after the troops are combined, we will go south again." ”

Xue Shixiong was not far from him, that is, a day's journey.

Wei Xuan was the head of the Eastern Route Army, but when he went to Feiyanling, he only took more than 10,000 people with him, while the Eastern Route Army totaled more than 130,000 people.

Xue Shixiong received the news that Yu Wenshu crossed the river from Feiyanling, and he guessed that Yu Zhongwen was going to have an accident, and his task was to protect the main force, so he transferred a total of 18,000 people from Duan Xuan, Li Xuantong, and Huang Junhan as early as possible to rush in the direction of Yu Zhongwen.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise it would have been true according to Yu Zhongwen's plan, and Mai Tiecane would have died.

Yizhi Wende wanted to destroy Mai Tie Staff first at any cost, and Gao Jianwu and Mai Tie Staff had a grudge against Liaodong, and they also wanted to kill each other.

The wheat iron rod can no longer withstand it, and it is constantly losing and retreating to the south, and then retreating is Yalushui, and there is no way out.

The eldest son, Mai Mengcai, was killed in battle, his head was cut off by the enemy, and he was carried by a spear, standing in the army formation of Yizhi Wende.

Mai Tiecane, who had retreated to the woodland on the shore, said to Swanbao beside him:

"The defeat of our army has been decided, and the remaining troops are less than 10,000, you take the headquarters to cross the river quickly, and I will help you to top it here, it is better than the annihilation of the whole army."

When Shi Wanbao heard this, his heart moved, he really wanted to obey the military order, so he led people across the river like this.

But at this time, he thought of his eldest brother Shi Wansui, if the eldest brother was in the current situation, would he leave the wheat iron rod alone?

The answer is no, Shi Wansui would rather lose than run.

Shi Wanbao gritted his teeth: "It is the honor of the last general to be able to kill the enemy side by side with General Mai, this time life and death are shared, don't mention crossing the river again." ”

Mai Tiezhu was quite moved, but still persuaded: "The war on the south bank has begun, if our troops are all buried here, even if I die, I will be ashamed of Your Majesty, listen to me, let's go." ”

Shi Wanbao shook his head: "If I really leave this time, I will not want to see the eldest brother for the rest of my life, he was demoted to a pawn in Dunhuang by the former emperor, a horse and a single gun, and he just broke out of the world outside the fortress, so that the Eastern and Western Turks, hearing the name of Long Live Shi, heard the wind and feared, I half-imitated, and today I only die." ”

After saying that, Shi Wanbao returned to the headquarters, tied the armor on his body tightly, left shield and right spear, and said to the soldiers behind him:

"It is said that our sons of Zuo Tunwei are not as good as left and right Yiwei, I think they are farting, can they fight or not, let's see the truth on the battlefield."

There are still 3,000 people left under his command, all of whom are Shi Wansui's old troops of Zuo Tunwei, who once followed Shi Wansui to quell the rebellion of King Han, and they all broke out with swords and guns.

Then, Shi Wanbao looked at his henchman Zhu Longsheng: "You take five hundred people as the supervising team, whoever dares to take a step back and kill them on the spot, even if it is me, it is the same." ”

Zhu Longsheng's face was hideous, and he nodded fiercely.

With that, Swanbao took a long breath and looked out at the road in front of him, where he could already faintly see the traces of enemy scouts.

"Sons, kill me!"

Three thousand foot soldiers marched north along the avenue and plunged headlong into the army of Yizhi Wende.

About an hour later, there were rangers on the opposite bank to report, Pei Xingyan came with 4,000 heavy horses, about to cross the river, Mai Tiezhu was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly arranged for people to jump into the river, and stabilized the pontoon bridge with manpower, so that the heavy riders could come from the opposite bank at the fastest speed.

Since Li Jing learned that Yuwenshu had crossed the river from the dam, he was worried that there would be problems here, but he didn't have many soldiers under his command, so he could only get together with Su Lie's heavy cavalry, and put together 4,000 people, handed them over to Pei Xingyan, and ordered him to rush to the wheat iron rod as soon as possible.

These 4,000 people are life-savers.

"General Manager Zhou sent someone to report that there is movement of the enemy army in Pyongyang City, and it seems that a large group of people left the city to the north last night, and the number is difficult to judge," General Fei Qingnu said: "Shall we test it?" ”

Lai Hu'er shook his head: "It's not time, wait and see, it's close to July now, Yuwenshu should be almost there, we can't be in a hurry, send more rangers to the north, to determine whether there is really an enemy army going north, if so, find out the troops, I can make arrangements." ”

The eldest son said: "Our grain and grass can only be used for another fifteen days, and after ten days, we must attack the city, otherwise we will not be able to return the rest of the grain." ”

The sailors who came to Hu'er on an expedition carried a small amount of grain and grass, and they couldn't bring too much, otherwise they wouldn't be able to carry an army of 80,000, and there were only 300 warships.

To be precise, they did not carry the grain for the return trip, because the entire Great Sui believed that they would definitely be able to take Goguryeo this time.

Didn't eat or drink? Don't be afraid, take Pyongyang and you will have everything.

Since Zhou Fashang's troops were stationed in the county town ahead, there had been several contacts with Goguryeo's army, and although both sides suffered casualties, Zhou Fashang's losses were very small.

First, to occupy the county, there is the advantage of defense, and there is a large army of guards in the rear, which can be supported at any time, and moreover, Zhou Fashang is very stable with his troops, you let him attack, maybe not, you let him defend, and he can stabilize a batch.

Shi Wansui often ridiculed Zhou Fashang as a coward, and cowards have the benefits of cowards.

The personality of a general often directly determines the personality of the army under his command.

Fan Zigai on the side said with a smile: "We don't plan to go back empty-handed, if we want to go back, we will return with a full load, the general manager will go south, and the main force of the enemy's Wang Division will fight a decisive battle with Sasu, at that time, it is the opportunity for us to storm Pyongyang, the south of Goguryeo, trapped by Silla Baekje, there is no longer a large army, so as long as we take Pyongyang, this expedition will be considered a success." ”

Cai Ju also echoed: "My army of 80,000 troops has been here for half a month, during which the enemy army has only a few temptations, which shows that they are afraid of my might and dare not go out of the city. ”

He was right, Pyongyang City now has only 60,000 defenders, and if it is successfully surrounded by Yuwenshu and Yu Zhongwen, it will almost be impossible to hold it.

However, Gao Yuan can be delayed, as long as it is delayed long enough, the grain and grass for Yuwenshu and Laihu'er will not be enough.

How to drag? Fraud.

First send an envoy to contact, and then start to discuss the terms of surrender, for example, if I surrender, can the Great Sui give me a king and let me continue to manage this place?

And negotiation is very time-consuming because there is a bargain.

Historically, at the end of Goguryeo, after the death of a powerful minister, Wongai Su-moon, his three sons fought for power.

Among them, the eldest son, Yuan boy, was the first to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and followed Li Tao back to fight Pyongyang, and later became the right guard general of the Tang Dynasty and Bian Guogong.

Sanziyuan's male production was carried until the final surrender, and he was also named the founding prince of Liaoyang County by Wu Zetian.

So, surrendering doesn't necessarily mean death, and maybe living a very nourishing life.

Chuluo Khan also surrendered to the Great Sui, although he is living a very bad life at the moment, but it is better than being killed.

The lord of a country like Gao Yuan could not be killed casually, because the feelings of the entire Goguryeo people had to be taken into account, to be precise, the Goguryeo aristocratic group under the command of Gao Yuan.

Li Yuan killed a Dou Jiande, and Hebei turned his head and reversed, this is the truth.

Not killing those who surrender is also a rule in China since ancient times, in order to show the name of benevolence and righteousness, but in fact, there are more people who kill surrenderers.

The two armies did not fight and did not kill the envoys, and the envoys who killed them went to the sea.

Honesty is no longer there since Sima Yi violated Luoshui's oath.
