Turbulent Times Chapter 1131: Yuan Gai Suwen’s thoughts

"Report! The Sui army has reached the loess beach ten miles away." On the morning of July 21st, Yuan Gai Suwen stood at the head of Annan County City. A spy knelt on one knee and reported loudly.

"How many troops did the Sui army come?"

"Reporting to the general, there are only about five thousand."

"Five thousand? Are you sure you read it right?"

"The humble staff brought a team of spies to see it with their own eyes, and they will never be mistaken. There are about 5,000 people."

"Five thousand...could it be the forward. Is there any main force behind?"

"Report to the general, there is no main force behind."

"Young master, since they only came with 5,000 people, the general will ask for orders to lead them out of the city, and they will surely destroy the enemy army." Beside Yuan Gai Suwen, Jin Yibei said loudly.

"General Jin, you think that Wang Junlin is a fool, how could he send 5,000 people to attack our county. This is probably a decoy. Don't leave the city easily." Cui Shengjun said.

Jin Yibei still wanted to argue, but at this moment, another scout entered the city from the north city gate, ran up the city wall, came to Yuangai Suwen, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "General Qi, the north of the city Ten miles away, we found the main force of the enemy army, about 14,000 troops, heading for the Black Water Canyon."

"They want to ambush the reinforcements sent by the lord." Yuan Gai Suwen frowned.

"Young master, should we send someone to notify the reinforcements?" Jin Yibei said.

Cui Shengjun sneered: "General Jin, with the terrain of the Blackwater Canyon, you think our messenger can pass through the blockade of Wang Junlin's army."

Jin Yibei said: "The messenger can take a detour."

Cui Shengjun said: "It's already too late to bypass the Blackwater Canyon."

Goguryeo's 20,000 reinforcements, led by the Goguryeo general Li Guangsheng, who was born in another big Goguryeo family, Li Guangsheng, advanced to the edge of the Wusu Grand Canyon on the morning of July 21, and slowly entered the battle range.

Wang Junlin led less than 20,000 troops after Yang Guang led an army of one million to defeat the Goguryeo people, and finally began to fight the Goguryeo army head-on.

This battle is very important to Wang Junlin's plan. He will disable the 20,000 Goguryeo reinforcements in one fell swoop. Before Yuan Taizuo sends the main force, Goguryeo can no longer gather troops to attack Annan County, so he can support them. Kim, in Annan

The county established a puppet country.

With the Jin family at the forefront, and these days he intends not to allow the army to invade the Goguryeo army, he will soon stabilize this Annan country, and in the name of Annan country, he will quickly recruit soldiers from the people of Annan county .

With the addition of Huang Shaolai's 30,000 sailors, Wang Junlin can already control 50,000 troops under his command. He will recruit another 50,000 from Annan County's natives to form an army of 100,000. In the fierce attack led by the main force of Goguryeo, An Nanguo was firmly defended.

…

…

The fiercest fight is about to come with the arrival of autumn.

The mighty 20,000 people stretched back and forth for a distance of nearly two or three miles on the terrain at the junction of the plain and the canyon. The radiation range of the army is oval. Due to the different types of arms and advances, the entire battlefield is divided into several layers by each army formation.

Extending in front of the army formation is naturally a scattered scout force, followed by 10,000 infantry divided into three columns, and 10,000 cavalry divided into four positions on the left, right, middle, and rear to prevent from coming. Raids are possible in every direction. The Li Guangsheng handsome flag is located in the middle.

Judging from the march of the army, this Li Guangsheng is a man who knows how to fight, and he should have a lot of experience in battle.

As the army advances, there are ups and downs. When the army formation of 20,000 horses slowly moves forward, the banners stretch into a piece. This is the middle formation. Li Guangsheng's commander-in-chief advanced over this field, and scouts came over from time to time. Report the situation before, after and around.

Li Guangsheng was dressed in military uniform and was sitting on a horse. The information from the spies would be reported to him immediately.

The spies who entered the Wusu Grand Canyon in advance did not find any abnormalities. With Li Guangsheng's order, the army entered the Wusu Grand Canyon.

Annan County City.

Liu Yidong led an army of 5,000 troops directly around the Annan County City from the south, blocking the north gate of the Annan County City, and had no intention of attacking the city. canyon.

However, they suffered big losses in front of Wang Junlin several times, and each time they were defeated badly. Even if only 5,000 people came, the defenders standing at the head of the city of Annan County, whether it was Yuan Gai Suwen, Every soldier did not dare to relax at all, fully armed, crossbow arrows, strong bows stringed, rolling stones, kerosene

, lime powder and other things to defend the city are also in place.

Knowing that there are only 5,000 people outside the city, Yuan Gai Suwen never thought of going out of the city to fight. Jin Yibei had called for soldiers no less than a dozen times, but he rejected them all.

Just kidding, there are 8,000 of them, and only 4,000 of them are the elite. What's more, they are facing Wang Junlin's army, which is said to have never been defeated. And without these 8,000 people, even if Wang Junlin was driven out of Annan County with reinforcements, he could still control Annan County for his father. Li Guangsheng was the direct descendant of the lord Gao Jianwu.

"The current strategy depends on the result of the battle between the 20,000 reinforcements led by Li Guangsheng and the 15,000 ambush troops led by Wang Junlin. Anyway, the 20,000 people are regular troops, and 5,000 of them are from the army. The elite sent by Pyongyang." Yuan Gai Suwen stood at the head of the city, looking at the 5,000 troops camping three miles outside the city, he couldn't help muttering to himself.

………

Wang Junlin led 14,000 people to ambush 20,000 people. This is a minority ambush the majority.

Li Guangsheng rode his horse in the middle of the army, and spread out the scouting horses for three miles, which was considered extremely cautious in a place like the Blackwater Grand Canyon.

However, this was only due to Li Guangsheng's prudence. He never thought that Wang Junlin would lead the main force to leave the city of Annan County to ambush him.

After all, there are still 8,000 troops in the city of Annan County. If Wang Junlin wants to ambush their Goguryeo reinforcements, he must send at least 5,000 troops to guard Yuan Gai Suwen's 8,000 troops.

In this way, Wang Junlin only has 14,000 troops at most, which is at least 6,000 fewer than them, so why come to ambush them?

Although Li Guangsheng knew that the Prime Minister and Yuan Gai Suwen and his son had suffered a lot from this Great Sui Qin Angong, he thought that Wang Junlin would be difficult to deal with, and most of the troops under his command were also powerful, but he also He never believed that with 20,000 people, he could not beat the opponent's 10,000 people, not to mention that he brought 10,000 elite troops from Pyongyang.

Exploring horses kept reporting, but no ambush was found.

"It would be a good thing if Wang Junlin really brought the main force to ambush." ​​Li Guangsheng sighed in disappointment, and beat his legs with the horsewhip in his hand in boredom.
