Turbulent Times Chapter 1124: The resentful Wang Rengong

Wang Rengong's complexion changed drastically, and he immediately shouted hoarsely that the whole army retreated, and immediately withdrew from the enemy camp. Two buglers beside him blew their retreat horns as quickly as possible.

However, it was too late.

The horn of the Sui army had just sounded, and outside the Goguryeo camp, there were shouts of killing from all directions. , covering almost all of the 150,000 Sui troops that had dispersed.

In the darkness, countless soldiers of the Sui army fell into the rounds of arrows that rained down like a shower. The screams of despair and the glare of the flames intertwined into a scene of hell-like tragedy.

Wang Rengong's face was extremely ugly, and his body on the horse trembled violently. Seeing that the cavalry he brought was encircled, coupled with the screams, everyone panicked and fell into chaos. Some soldiers of the Sui Army had already fled in panic.

At this moment, the vitality of Wang Rengong's whole body seems to have quietly disappeared as if hit by an arrow.

Although Wang Rengong was the youngest of the twelve great generals of the Sui Dynasty, he was already in his 40s. He had never encountered such a disastrous defeat in many years of fighting in the north and south. He was actually ambushed by the enemy, this kind of humiliation is better than the crisis at this moment, not to mention that he didn't want to attack the camp tonight, it was forced by His Majesty the Emperor!

Hundreds of soldiers around him held shields and tried their best to protect Wang Rengong. Wang Rengong was almost surrounded by shields. The shields covered the sky full of arrows and the flames of the enemy camp , I could only hear the sound of countless arrows hitting the shield in my ears, but there was darkness in front of my eyes.

After all, the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were famous all over the world as a brave army. There was a brief panic after the ambush, and as the generals at all levels organized their own hands hoarsely, they finally organized a counterattack and formed a formation Charge towards the outside of the encirclement, trying to break through.

The ambush of the enemy army in Goryeo was very subtle. Yuan Taizuo once again proved his commanding ability and strategic ability to the world with facts, but he still underestimated the power of the Sui army's soldiers when they fell into death.

After a life-and-death fight, the defense line on the west side of the encirclement was lined up in Sui

Jun Shengsheng tore a hole, and the hole got bigger and bigger. Finally, like the Yellow River breaking its embankment, the Sui army finally broke out. The Korean enemy tried to pursue them, but their number of cavalry was less than 70,000. Six thousand cavalry were left behind desperately.

These 6,000 cavalrymen all held sabers in their hands and waved them against the firelight of the night.

These 6,000 people stopped the 200,000 Goguryeo people alive, but the price was that almost all of them died in battle.

Using the time gained by 6,000 people's lives, Wang Rengong led 80,000 cavalry and fled back. Yuan Taizuo did not send anyone to chase, but gathered people.

The remaining nearly 70,000 Sui cavalry never came back. As for whether they died in battle, were captured, surrendered, or ran away at night, it is unknown.

………

Yang Guang has completely controlled Liaodong City, and all the Goguryeo people who resisted in the city have been killed. In addition to the 10,000 people who stayed behind in Liaodong City, the Nine Route Army has also prepared to divide its forces and continue to attack the entire Goguryeo region. preparation.

At this time, Wang Rengong returned to the camp, and there were 80,000 defeated troops with him.

The personal guards under his command tried their best to protect Wang Rengong, but Wang Rengong was still injured. He was carried back by the personal guards. Yang Guang was shocked when he heard the news. to myself.

In this battle, Wang Rengong was shot by arrows in his left leg and back, bleeding profusely, and he fell into a semi-comatose state. When he was carried in front of Yang Guang, Wang Rengong tried his best to cheer up and looked at Yang Guang's furious face , and the monstrous murderous intent in his eyes, Wang Rengong felt desolate and resented for no reason, but he smacked his lips a few times, and finally burst into tears.

After ordering people to count the casualties, Yang Guang directly ordered the beheading of Youwuwei General Wang Rengong regardless of everyone's obstruction. .

After this big defeat, Yang Guang not only failed to take measures to restore morale, but instead killed Wang Ren

Gong, let the morale of the army return to the state before breaking Liaodong City.

Just after Wang Rengong was beheaded, a news quietly spread throughout the army.

There were secret rumors in the army that the fault of this disastrous defeat was not the fault of General Wang Rengong, but because His Majesty the Emperor urged Wang Rengong to attack and was ambushed by the Goguryeo people.

After the news spread, some people thought of His Majesty's stupid "benevolence and righteousness" when he attacked Liaodong City. Coupled with the increasing number of people suffering from the disease in the army, many soldiers were frightened and had no intention of fighting. Invisibly, the morale of the army has almost dropped to the bottom.

…

…

The epidemic that broke out in Liaodong spread to Youzhou in April. The most recent epidemic occurred in Beiping County. A large number of civilians who escaped from Liaodong gathered in Beiping County. Many of them fell ill and died in Beiping County. Long before the epidemic appeared in Beiping County, Wang Junlin sent someone to remind Du Ruhui, who was in charge of the stay-at-home work in Fanyang County, to pay attention to the epidemic coming from the north, and sent people to send people the measures to prevent the epidemic from being introduced into Fanyang County.

Du Ruhui strictly implemented the measures and regulations sent by Wang Junlin, and immediately issued an emergency order, forcing all the people outside the city in the eight counties of Fanyang County to move into the city. The city was paved with lime, and the people drank **** every day. Tang is not allowed to drink raw water. At the same time, two thousand soldiers were sent to guard the Jiaoshan pass from Youzhou. This is the only way to enter Fanyang County from Youzhou.

Of course, it is not a rude way to keep everyone out of the country, but hundreds of large tents have been set up outside the Jiaoshan Pass, and every citizen who fled from the north and originally belonged to Fanyang County lived here for ten years. On the first day, food and rice were distributed only when there was no disease, and they were allowed to go home, while patients with fever were quarantined.

In spite of this, a large number of homesick peasants crossed the mountains and entered Fanyang County, making it difficult for 2,000 soldiers to defend themselves. People who fled back from the north were isolated and diagnosed nearby.

Just after dawn, Du Ruhui got up, washed his face indiscriminately, and didn't care about eating early, so he rode to the county office not far away. He wanted to discuss something with Liu Ziming.
