Chapter 126 Liaoshui
Yan County, this is the middle army of the army, that is, the last place where Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was stationed and stayed, and the vanguard of the Sui army has arrived in Huaiyuan Town.
There was already a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance, waiting for the Sui army to take it.
When the army passed through Huaiyuan Town, it was the surging Liaoshui in front of it, which is now the border between Goguryeo and the Great Sui.
And when the army crossed Liaoshui, Huaiyuan Town was actually an important town for the army's grain and grass supply.
In the middle of March of the eighth year of the Great Cause, the army rushed to the bank of Liaoshui one after another.
The surging water, rushing through.
On both sides of the river, the black and oppressive military formations were lined up, and there was no end in sight.
Goguryeo had already been prepared, set up heavy troops on the east bank of Liaoshui, and, as early as January, began to dig through the ice of Liaoshui.
It's just that what the Goguryeo army didn't expect was that the Sui army came so late.
By March, the ice had already melted in large patches, and the main force of the Sui army swaggered to the west bank of Liaoshui.
How to say it, the Sui army was full of confidence, and from top to bottom, they didn't take the Goguryeo people too seriously, and in the eyes of many generals of the Sui army, Goguryeo was just struggling meaninglessly at this time.
When the army moves forward, all resistance will be in vain, and the front of the army will grind everything in front of it into powder.
It's just that the Goguryeo people on the other side of the river are not bad in confidence, and their morale is quite high.
They were not afraid of a war with the Sui people, and even many Goguryeo generals did not think that the Sui people could break through the Liaoshui and enter the territory of Goguryeo.
You call them arrogant or arrogant.
Anyway, Goguryeo, which is located in a remote corner of Liaodong, has been invincible since its rise and conquered many tribes in Liaodong, which is why today's Goguryeo is a country.
Their folk customs are naturally fierce, and the multi-ethnic settlements have also made the disputes among them never end.
However, most of the time, it is the nest of the family.
It can be said that they did not have much contact with the two powerful empires of the Sui people and the Turks.
In other words, this is an authentic earth overlord.
The allusion to the famous Liaodong dung Tuchen has not been long in coming, but the Goguryeo people have almost magically forgotten the embarrassment of the year and have regained their full self-confidence.
Therefore, the Sui army's millions of people came to the east bank of Liaoshui in an overwhelming manner, which did not make the Goguryeo people feel terrible.
They arranged their own defense system in an orderly manner, and when several major army generals were deliberating, they were even more ambitious, ready to give the Sui army crossing the river a blow in the head.
And they did......
The Sui army finally came to the east bank of Liaoshui.
When the emperor came, whether it was intentional by the generals or spontaneous by the soldiers.
Anyway, when the emperor's chariot appeared, the tsunami-like sound of long live the emperor resounded in the sky, thousands of troops shouted, the spring breeze stopped, and the water trembled.
The roaring sound like thunder stretched out into the distance.
Within dozens of miles, the soldiers of the Sui army raised their swords and guns, shouting loudly, if they were not here, they would never have imagined what kind of momentum this was.
At this moment, the Goguryeo army, located on the east bank of Liaoshui, felt a chill rise in their hearts, as if at this time, they understood that they were facing the powerful Great Sui Empire.
But at this time, the strategy of going head-to-head could no longer be changed, and the Goguryeo army could only defend the east bank and prevent the Sui army from crossing the river.
The Sui army, in the past year, slowly formed an army of one million, and also delayed the most important fighter, unable to rush across the Liaoshui under the unprepared situation of Goguryeo, so that this big river moat became an ornament.
Emperor Yang Guang of Sui can be regarded as having gone through a lot of wars.
Although, his "brilliant" achievements actually have little to do with him personally, more often, he is a bystander, witnessing the victories of the Sui army.
But he is not an emperor who is raised in the deep palace and does not know military affairs.
Therefore, he did not let the vanguard army rush to cross the Liaoshui River when the Goguryeo army gathered on the east coast, only to increase casualties.
Instead, he chose the strategy of meticulously preparing everything and slowly marching into the army.
At the beginning of the war, this was undoubtedly a wise decision.
The emperor's chariot stopped on a high ground behind the army, and the sun, moon and star flags of the Great Sui were waving in the wind.
Li Po's left guard Ma Yi Sui army was fortunate to find a condescending place, and the mighty Liaoshui and the dense army were all in sight.
It's a spectacular sight, and the opportunity to see such a scene is unique in a person's lifetime.
At this time, Li Po no longer had the mood to vomit nonsense.
The whistling sound that resounded through the sky and earth before undoubtedly shocked him, but now the head of the person is staggering, and the soldiers are flashing with dazzling cold light, almost replacing the sun in the sky, making people unable to open their eyes.
Countless flags flew fiercely in the air, and each flag represented a strong Sui army general and countless Sui army soldiers.
It's a completely military world, and there's no room for anything else.
The cold breath rose up, and the heaven and earth were slaughtered.
At such a moment, Li Po's face finally became gloomy, and his hand involuntarily grasped the waist knife.
The wind and clouds have not moved, and the man is full of spirits here.
A real soldier, if he can remain indifferent in the face of such a scene, then he is not worthy of being called a soldier.
War is undoubtedly ugly and cruel, Li Po has a deep understanding of this, and strives to keep himself out of the matter, unwilling to experience too many senseless dangers.
But at this moment, the strong atmosphere of war was overwhelming, and it had infected him in an instant.
As a seven-foot man, as a soldier, the hot blood in his chest finally boiled, as if there was a beast roaring in his chest, wanting to break through the cage of reason and release the endless bloody qi contained in it......
At this moment, he could no longer hide his ferocity and savagery.
Because this is already the most savage realm, he is also in the middle of the most ferocious whole.
On the shore of the Liaoshui, it gradually quieted down.
But the breath of the coming war is becoming more and more obvious.
The Sui army began to set up camps, and they did not plan to spend too much time on the west bank of Liaoshui, so the camps were very rough.
Li Bi ordered people to camp on the spot.
She is more and more concerned about Li Po's henchman.
Maybe he felt the difference between Li Po, and when he set up camp, he deliberately came to Li Po's side and asked provocatively, "What?" Before the battle, are you afraid? ”
However, she had worked in vain, and Li Po, who had already done a good job of psychological construction, pouted her lips habitually, "Save it, it's not our turn to be heroes at this time, what am I afraid of?" Did you fall into the river and drown while crossing the river? Cut ......"
