Chapter 1131: Yuan Gai Suwen's thoughts
"Report! The Sui army had reached the loess beach ten miles away. "On the morning of July 21, as Yuangai Suwen stood at the head of the county seat of Annam, a spy knelt on one knee and reported loudly.

"How many men and horses are there from the Sui army?"
"General Hui, only about five thousand."
"Five thousand? Are you sure you read that right? β
"If you see it with your own eyes with a team of spies, you will never be mistaken, that is, about 5,000 people."
"Five thousand...... It's a striker. Is there still a main force behind? β
"General Hui, there is no main force behind."
"Young master, since they only have 5,000 people, the last general will ask for orders to lead people out of the city, and they will break the enemy army." Next to Yuangai Suwen, Jin Yibei said loudly.
"General Jin, do you think that Wang Junlin is a fool, how can he send five thousand people to attack our county town. This is most likely a decoy. Don't leave the city lightly. Cui Shengjun said.
Jin Yibei still wanted to argue, but at this moment, another Tanma entered the city from the north gate, ran up the city wall, and came to Yuangai Suwen, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "General Qiyu, ten miles north of the city, I found that the main force of the enemy army is about 14,000 men and horses, and it is heading towards the Heishui Canyon. β
"They want to ambush the reinforcements sent by the lord." Yuangai Suwen frowned.
"Young master, then should we send someone to inform the reinforcements." Jin Yibei said.
Cui Shengjun sneered, "General Jin, with the topography of the Black Water Canyon, you think our messenger will be able to pass through the blockade of Wang Junlin's army. β
Jin Yibei said: "The messenger can take a detour. β
Cui Shengjun said: "It's too late to bypass the Blackwater Canyon. β

The 20,000 Goguryeo reinforcements, commanded by the Goguryeo general and the commander of the Lee family, another great family of Goguryeo, advanced to the edge of the Wusu Grand Canyon on the morning of July 21 and slowly entered the range of engagement.
After Yang Guang led a million-strong army to defeat the Goguryeo people, Wang Junlin led less than 20,000 people, and finally began to fight head-on to shake the Goguryeo army.
This battle was very important to Wang Junlin's plan, and in one fell swoop the 20,000 Goguryeo reinforcements were crippled, and before Yuan Taizuo sent the main army, Goguryeo was no longer able to gather troops to fight Annam-gun, so he could support the Kim clan and set up a puppet state in Annam-gun.
With the Kim clan in front, coupled with his intention to prevent the army from encroaching on the Goguryeo army these days, he will soon stabilize this Annam country, and in the name of Annam, quickly recruit troops among the people of Annam County.
At present, with the addition of Huang Shaolai's 30,000 sailors, Wang Junlin can control the army under his command of 50,000 people, and he will recruit another 50,000 troops from the local people in Annan County to form an army of 100,000, and he will be confident that he will firmly hold the country of Annan in the fierce attack of the main force of Goguryeo led by Yuan Taizuo in the future.

One of the fiercest battles is about to fall with the arrival of autumn.
The mighty 20,000 people, on the terrain at the junction of the plain and the canyon, stretched for nearly two or three miles from front to back. The radiation range of the army is oval-shaped, and the entire battlefield is divided into several layers by various army formations due to the different types of troops and advances.
Extending in front of the formation were naturally scattered scout troops, with 10,000 infantry divided into three columns following closely behind, and 10,000 cavalry divided into four positions: left, right, center, and rear to guard against possible surprise attacks from all directions. In Lee Quang Sheng, the handsome flag is located in the very middle.
Judging from the march of the army, this Li Guangsheng is a person who knows the soldiers, and he should have a lot of experience in battle formations.
The advance of the army, rising and falling, when the army formation of 20,000 horses slowly advanced, the banner stretched into a piece, which was the middle formation. Li Guangsheng's handsome banner advanced over this field, and from time to time scouts came over. Report the situation before, after, and around.
Li Guangsheng was dressed in military uniform, standing on top of the war horse, and the information from the spies would be reported to him as soon as possible.
The spies who entered the Wusu Grand Canyon in advance did not detect any abnormalities, and Li Guangsheng gave an order, and the army entered the Wusu Grand Canyon.

The county seat of Annam.
Liu Yidong led an army of 5,000 troops to bypass the county town of Annan directly from the south, blocking the north gate of the county town of Annan, and did not have any intention of attacking the city, that is, not to let the 8,000 men and horses in the county town of Annan go to the Heishui Canyon.
However, he suffered a big loss in front of Wang Junlin several times, and each time he was defeated very 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, or every soldier did not dare to relax the slightest, fully armed, crossbow arrows, strong bows wound, rolling stones, oil oil, lime powder and other things to defend the city were also in place.
Knowing that there were only 5,000 people outside the city, Yuangai Suwen never thought of going out of the city to fight. Jin Yibei has asked for troops more than a dozen times, but he has rejected them.
Just kidding, they have 8,000 people, of which there are only 4,000 elites, even if they go out of the city and win with 8,000 and 5,000, the so-called 'wound 1,000 enemies, 800 self-inflicted losses', how many people are left, not to mention facing the army of Wang Junlin, who is said to have never lost a battle. And he didn't have these 8,000 people, even if he turned around and drove Wang Junlin out of Annan County with reinforcements, he would still be able to control Annan County for his father, then Li Guangsheng was the descendant of Gao Jianwu, the lord of the country.
"The plan now depends on the outcome of the battle between the 20,000 reinforcements led by Li Guangsheng and the 15,000 ambush troops of Wang Junlin, in any case, these 20,000 people are regular troops, and 5,000 of them are the elite sent from Pyongyang." Yuangai Suwen stood at the head of the city, looking at the 5,000 troops who were camping three miles outside the city, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

Wang Junlin led 14,000 men to ambush 20,000 men, which was a small number of ambushes for the majority.
Li Guangsheng rode a horse and walked in the middle of the Chinese army, scattering the exploration horse three miles away, which was already extremely cautious in a place like the Heishui Grand Canyon.
However, this was only because Li Guangsheng was cautious and prudent, and he actually did not think that Wang Junlin would lead the main army to abandon the city of Annan County and ambush him.
After all, there were still 8,000 men and horses in the county town of Annan behind, and if Wang Junlin wanted to ambush their Goguryeo reinforcements, he had to divide at least 5,000 troops and horses to watch Yuangai Suwen's 8,000 men and horses.
In this way, Wang Junlin only has a maximum of 14,000 troops in his hands, at least 6,000 fewer than them, and he came to ambush them?
Although Li Guangsheng knew that the Prime Minister and Yuangai Suwen, father and son, had suffered great losses at the hands of this Great Sui Qin Angong, thinking that Wang Junlin was not easy to deal with, and most of the troops under his command were also powerful, he never believed that he could not defeat the opponent's more than 10,000 people with 20,000 people, not to mention that he also brought 10,000 elite palace troops from Pyongyang.
The scouts kept reporting and did not find any ambushes.
"If that king really brings the main force to ambush, it will be a good thing." Li Guangsheng sighed a little disappointed, and beat his leg with the horse whip in his hand in boredom.
