Turbulent Times Chapter 1139: The mission of Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba

This prisoner is none other than Li Guangsheng, the commander of the Goguryeo Army. The corps has no advantage over ordinary infantry in combat, so they are not allowed to participate in frontal battles.

After the collapse of the Goguryeo army, Zhang Tiangang followed Li Guangsheng with more than 30 masters, and chased him all the way with bloodletting tactics. It took half a day, more than 30 people killed all the 400 people around Li Guangsheng, and captured Li Guangsheng alive.

When the captives of Goguryeo saw this, they were ashamed. They were completely defeated, and even the main general was captured.

Wang Junlin called Zhang Tiangang, and after encouraging and praising him, he gave serious instructions. Zhang Tiangang selected 300 soldiers from the special forces to put on the uniforms and armor of the Goguryeo reinforcements. One person and three horses prepared as many as possible. Then they headed towards Goguryeo Pyongyang City. On the other side of the bombed road, Wang Junlin had already ordered someone to fill up half of it.

After Zhang Tiangang left with his men, Wang Junlin called Luo Chunlai, Lu Han, and Guan Xiaotong to give them careful instructions, and then he and Yuchi Jingde led more than two thousand cavalry, each equipped with three horses, After chasing Zhang Tiangang, he also headed towards Pyongyang.

…

…

Compared to the Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo is really much smaller, just like the larger counties. The cavalry can run at full strength for a day or two, and they can even run through the north and south.

Wang Junlin and Yuchi Jingde led more than 2,000 cavalry, each with three horses, and galloped towards Pyongyang. They marched along the way, ate, marched again, and camped at night. The entire army remained silent.

After half a day, the army has reached the Sashui River, which is not far from Pyongyang City.

Facts have proved that the information that Shen Guoer inquired before is correct. The main force led by Yuan Taizuo is still attacking Liaodong City in the west, and wiped out tens of thousands of Sui troops who fled in all directions but have not yet escaped from Goguryeo. Soldiers, the 20,000 army led by Li Guangsheng is already the last and largest army in Goguryeo

Yes, it can be described as a soldier who has fallen to the country.

So Wang Junlin and Yuchi Jingde led the army all the way to the north, and they didn't encounter any resistance on the way. The cities they passed were all defenders with less than a thousand people, and the villages they passed were all old and weak women and children staggering to avoid.

Wang Junlin became more and more confident in his plan to raid Pyongyang, not to mention that he had sent the two little guys Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba out as early as the beginning of the war a few months ago.

Yanchang Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong originally had 8,000 troops under their command, including 6,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry. From the very beginning, Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba each brought 1,000 cavalry and sneaked into Goguryeo. The hinterland, and it is also close to the main battlefield of Yang Guang and Yuan Taizuo in the west.

Their tasks are mainly divided into three stages. In the early stage, they are to lurk and protect themselves. Join forces by the river, and then attack Pyongyang city by surprise.

After Wang Junlin and Yuchi Jingde waited by the Sashui River for more than an hour, Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba led their troops to appear one after another.

The two each brought more than 4,000 cavalry, which is more than four times the number of cavalry they had before. The others are naturally the Sui cavalry gathered these days. These people have lost their morale in the west, and some of the generals are even more dissatisfied when they see that Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba are young, so these two young men have killed one or two hundred generals and soldiers of the Sui Army these days. The people and horses are controlled in their hands. In fact, more than 4,000 people each is the limit they can control at the moment.

When the more than 6,000 newly recruited Sui cavalry saw the legendary invincible poisonous general King Qin An, it was even more different. In addition, after hearing that Pyongyang City was going to be attacked unexpectedly, these 6,000 people were shocked and excited. They fought too badly in the west. It was too sad. Countless brothers and comrades were killed by Goguryeo people, and they died. confused.

According to Shen Guoer's information and the results observed on the road, it is estimated that there are not too many defenders in Pyongyang, at most five thousand, and Wang Junlin and the others have already exceeded one. Wan's cavalry can easily be crushed, and Wang Junlin has a careful plan, so

I am full of confidence in entering the capital of Goguryeo.

Thinking of this, even Wang Junlin's heart beats faster, let alone Yuchi Jingde, Luo Shixin, and Li Xuanba.

The surprise attack on Pyongyang was not only a tactical success, it played a role in besieging Wei and saving Zhao in Liaodong City, and it was also able to severely damage Goguryeo, allowing Wang Junlin to further establish a state in Annan County, support the Kim family as a puppet, and forcibly divide Goguryeo into two .

In addition, it may be possible to dispel Yang Guang's second conquest of Goguryeo with all its national power.

The Great Sui Conquest had been a disastrous defeat. Yang Guang brought an army of one million and three or four million civilians. As a result, less than half of the army returned to China, and none of the three or four million civilians returned to their hometowns. Wang Junlin is very clear that with Yang Guang's character, he has already begun to desperately plan for the second conquest of Goguryeo. According to the original historical development, millions of people will die, and the real distance between the Sui Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty will not be far away. up.

Wang Junlin's purpose is very simple, it is to make Da Sui less dead.

If Wang Junlin made a surprise attack on Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, and the news of the founding of Goguryeo spread to Luoyang, one can imagine how wonderful the expressions of Yang Guang, all the officials in the court, and the family members would be. They are endlessly grateful, and those who had enmity with Goguryeo in this battle will also be grateful to Wang Junlin, but some people have complicated feelings.

For example, Yang Guang, he led a million people to defeat in the hands of Goguryeo, but Wang Junlin only took 20,000 people to attack a county, forcibly established a country, and even raided Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo.

This made people in the world think of Yang Guang. With Yang Guang's wonderful personality, not only would he not be grateful, but he would only be mad and have inexplicable murderous intentions towards Wang Junlin.

The Sashui River is one of the few large rivers in Koguryo. The river flows from north to south, and finally enters the Bohai Sea.

Luckily, Wang Junlin led more than 10,000 cavalry. When they arrived at the Sashui River, there was a floating bridge made of wooden boats on the river. This floating bridge was left by Li Guangshun. He led 20,000 reinforcements just a few days ago After passing through here, we headed to Annan County. Because of the consideration of returning, Li Guangshun did not order the dismantling of the pontoon bridge after it was built.
