Turbulent Times Chapter 1079: The real plot
Yuan Gai Su Wen sighed: "General Cui has any good ideas, just tell me!"
Cui Shengjun quickly said: "The lowly position is indeed to ask the general to change the way of fighting. The Sui people have a high fighting spirit. The damage to our army is actually not heavy, but every small battle is defeated. There is no chance of winning if we fortify the city. If you attack again across the board, you will get a high reward..."
"Let's invite the generals of the various armies to discuss the matter tomorrow! I'm afraid we won't be able to attack them with all our strength. Maybe we can find a way to lure them out..." Yuan Gai Suwen didn't immediately agree, but thought for a while and said slowly .
…
…
The stragglers of the Goguryeo soldiers harassed the whole night, and there were constant alarms on the front line, and it was only half an hour before dawn that it quieted down.
In the early morning of the second day, crowds of people surged behind the Goguryeo earthen walls. Thousands of Goguryeo soldiers entered the trench in the middle one after another after breakfast. aggressive stance. The stone catapults and long-range crossbows on the western hillside fired intermittently, causing commotion among the huge Goguryeo crowd. Because of the massive consumption of stone bullets and crossbow guns, the frequency of long-range attacks is far less than before.
Wang Junlin came to the north wall of the city early, and the Lanmagou area in the binoculars was already full of ditches, with curved earth mounds piled up on the ground, in which countless ladders and spears could be seen shaking.
The ministries of Wang Junlin's side are being put in place behind the earthen wall. As the defensive side, the soldiers of Wang Junlin's side can take turns to rest and recuperate in Bailing City. The relatively safe environment makes the rest effect better and allows them to maintain a high morale .
At the first moment of the hour, Yuan Gai Suwen's banner appeared on the east side of the middle road. This was the first time he was so close to the battle line. Wang Junlin said to Liu Yidong: "Do you think Yuan Gai Suwen is hiding in their tunnel, or dare to go up to the earthen wall and wait and see?"
Liu Yidong thought about it and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I dare not go up the earthen wall. Yuan Gai Suwen ran to the east, and he probably couldn't hit it."
"My lord, our sentinel ship at sea has received information from Guo'er through the drift bottle that Yuan Gai Suwen will pretend to be defeated in today's battle, luring us to dispatch the main force out of the trench to pursue, and then Yuan Gai Su Wen cut off our retreat with the elite prepared in advance, and severely wounded us outside the trench, and even wiped us out." Zhang Tiangang ran to the top of the city and reported to Wang Junlin urgently.
Wang Junlin's eyes flashed brightly, and he said: "Okay, Guoer's information is really timely. You write back to Guoer, and when Goguryeo pretended to be defeated, Yuan Gai Suwen was suddenly poisoned and unconscious."
Zhang Tiangang agreed and left in a hurry.
Yang Kongchan said next to him: "My lord has worked so hard to win the victory with the least loss for our soldiers!"
Wang Junlin smiled: "It's not just to save us from losses. I also took a fancy to the more than 10,000 Goguryeo soldiers. After they were captured, they were sent to the Snake Island training camp in batches and handed over to Xiao Yu for one year of training. It is an elite soldier."
…
…
The battlefield of this day was just like the information sent by Shen Guoer. When the battle reached noon, the Goguryeo people collapsed, and thousands of Goguryeo people fled.
The entire Goguryeo defense line collapsed like an avalanche. The Goguryeo soldiers on the earthen walls gave up all their remaining supplies and fled with their soldiers. Some of the auxiliary soldiers left behind were like headless flies. The soldiers of King's Landing appeared in front of them, and they immediately came out and shouted to surrender.
Looking down from the western hillside, thousands of ants are running wildly in the wilderness below the mountain, and the ground is full of fallen soldiers and armor. Yuan Gai Suwen carefully planned the fake defeat and it was very successful, and the acting was very similar. But with Shen Guoer's information, Wang Junlin still saw that there were about five thousand elites who seemed to be scattered, but in fact kept in formation and divided into two teams to run on the two wings. As long as Wang Junlin's party got out of the trench, the The two teams of Goguryeo elites will definitely go around from both sides to the back to block the retreat.
Wang Junlin cooperated very well with Yuan Gai Suwen, and ordered all the 3,000 troops in the trench and the city to go out in pursuit. He felt as if something had stung his calf, and then let out a cry of pain, fell to the ground, and passed out immediately.
Yuan Gai Suwen fell into a coma, causing the Goguryeo army to lose its backbone. Yuan Gai Suwen's order was not received, and the Sui army who caught up suddenly shouted: "Yuan Gai Suwen is dead."
The 5,000 men and horses were in a panic, no longer caring about blocking any back roads, and they also fled, many of them even discarded their armor.
…
Wang Junlin's banner appeared on the western hillside. There was chaos at the foot of the mountain, and there was cheering inside and outside Bailing City. Luo Shixin, Li Xuanba, and Zhang Tiangang each led a thousand men to chase after the defeated soldiers, shooting and killing the backward Goguryeo soldiers along the way. .
Because of the blockage of the Dammagou and the Goguryeo earth wall, the soldiers from Wang Junlin's side were not able to pursue them effectively, and the damage was not serious. I always thought that a large number of them were massacred.
"My lord, in fact, Zhang Tiangang, Li Xuanba, and Luo Shixin can be chased more fiercely." Liu Yidong led hundreds of people to stay in the city, and couldn't help but said to Wang Junlin at this moment, "The defense line of Goguryeo is now broken and the army's morale is shaken. , our army can fight with it.”
Wang Junlin looked down the mountain carefully, shook his head slightly and said: "There are still no fewer than 10,000 soldiers in Goguryeo, and our army has only 3,000 on Bailing Island. We have no superiority in strength. The speed at which troops are invested, and the passage of trebuchets and long-range crossbows are also very inconvenient. When we finish our formation, if we chase after them in a hurry, the Goguryeo people will have no escape, but it will easily arouse them to turn around and die. Three people
Focus on attacking Yuan Gai Suwen's five thousand confidantes who were going to ambush us. "
Wang Junlin is very clear that once he starts to flee, and Yuan Gai Su Wen is still in a coma, no matter how many Goguryeo soldiers there are, there will be a mess behind him, and the next step is how to digest the tens of thousands of people question.
Luo Shixin, Li Xuanba, and Zhang Tiangang each led a thousand people to follow behind the Goguryeo people, and they continued to attack the Goguryeo people, causing them even greater panic.
The Goguryeo soldiers were shot and killed with rapid crossbows. Once there were generals in Goguryeo trying to organize troops, they would concentrate on attacking the formation of the Goguryeo soldiers until they were completely broken up.
The continuous bloodletting suffix attack tactics lasted for a day. As it got dark, the Goguryeo army, which lost its commander, was completely defeated, and almost no longer had any idea of counterattack. It is only a matter of time before seven thousand people surrender.
