Seeing the puzzled faces of his subordinate generals, Li Guangsheng explained with a solemn expression: "As far as I know, Wang Junlin led people to easily break through Daluo City, Nanyang Village, and Baishan City, so it seems that Wang Junlin is very good at breaking the city, so I am worried that Yuangai Suwen will not wait for our reinforcements to arrive, so he will lose the county town of Annan, and at that time Wang Junlin's army will defend the city, and I want to take the city again, it is almost impossible, I can only wait for the prime minister to recapture the Liaodong City in the west, and then send the main army to attack." ”

"Therefore, if the king really divided his troops to ambush us, he would have played into my arms. In this way, although the loss of our 20,000 reinforcements is a little larger, as long as we can defeat Wang Junlin's army in one battle, it is worth it, and it is not impossible to recapture Daluo City, Baishan City and Nanyang Village in one fell swoop, and drive the Sui people out of Annan County. ”

A subordinate general said with some hesitation: "But I heard that the army led by Wang Junlin is even more powerful than the army led by the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. ”

Li Guangsheng sneered and said: "If they were all cavalry, maybe I wouldn't want to fight hard, but now most of them are infantry, it is said that there are only 3,000 cavalry, and our army has 10,000 elite cavalry." ”

The generals thought the same, and the general just echoed: "The emperors of the Sui Dynasty were all beaten away by our army, and Wang Junlin didn't retreat obediently, at least he had to retreat in Daluo City and Baishan City!" I don't know if Wang Junlin was arrogant, or what, he actually took the initiative to send people to attack the county seat of Annan. Not to mention that they ambushed us, we have to divide our troops to watch the 8,000 men and horses in the city of Annan County, even if nearly 20,000 of them come, what can we do? It's not the same as our troops, as long as there are generals, as long as they dare to fight head-on, we can defeat them in one fell swoop. ”

"Exactly, the only thing the Sui army relied on was the gunpowder, before Da Luo City was defenseless, and Baishan County was because of Jin Xiaowu's traitor, so it was taken by surprise by Wang Junlin's army. In short, in the battle against the army of King's Land, we only need to pay attention to their gunpowder weapons and do not catch the way, and we can be invincible. Li Guangsheng said confidently.

Another general said: "General rest assured, how to guard against explosive gunpowder weapons, the brothers have worked out some countermeasures in the past few days, and the war horses have stuffed sackcloth in their ears, and they will definitely not catch their way." ”

Li Guangsheng nodded, hesitated for a moment and whispered to the generals: "I have thought about it, after defeating Wang Junlin's army, or driving them away, we will take the opportunity to completely control Annan County in our hands, this is what Your Majesty has explained, and the power of the Prime Minister is getting bigger and bigger." ”

"General rest assured, we are all members of the palace guards, and we are always concerned about Your Majesty's will............"

When Li Guangsheng was talking to his generals, there was a sudden earth-shattering noise from the rear, but they stepped off the war horses only slightly startled, and they were appeased, everyone's faces changed slightly, and one of the generals said: "Fortunately, I was prepared, so that the war horse stuffed sackcloth in its ears, otherwise the war horse would be shocked." ”

Li Guangsheng was overjoyed and said, "I really didn't expect that Wang Junlin would dare to divide his troops to ambush us. ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Guangsheng ordered in high spirits: "The whole army stops, pay attention to vigilance, and send someone to the back to see what is going on." ”

In fact, without Li Guangsheng's order, the 20,000 reinforcements of Goguryeo had already spontaneously stopped when they heard this sound, and the soldiers had already drawn their swords, held their guns, wound their bows and arrows, and looked at a low mountain a few miles away on both sides.

"Report ............"

"General, the narrowest part of our road has been blown into a line of tunnels, and it is already difficult for the cavalry to pass, and it is very troublesome for the infantry to pass through." A spy galloped forward, and when he was seven paces away, he jumped off his horse, got down on one knee, and spoke loudly.

"Send a few groups of scout horses to the mountains on both sides and climb up to watch."

"Command the whole army, continue to march forward, pay attention to vigilance, and be ready for battle at any time. The 500 Sui prisoners sent from the west were at the forefront. ”

As Li Guangsheng's order spread, 20,000 Goguryeo reinforcements continued in the direction of Annam County, but the speed was much slower, and 500 Sui prisoners who had been specially brought in as auxiliaries were also driven to the front.

…………

…………

"They didn't panic, I don't know if the Goguryeo reinforcements were elite enough, or if Li Guangsheng thought that he had 6,000 more troops than us, so he was arrogant." Wang Junlin was stunned after listening to the spies' report.

Shen Guo'er said with a smile on her face: "General Qiyu, General Wei Chi has divided the three thousand cavalry under his command into two groups, and ambushed them to the first and second hidden positions, and can attack the Goguryeo reinforcements from both sides along the predetermined mountain road at any time. Zhang Tiangang had also led the special combat team to blow up the back road of Goguryeo reinforcements. At this time, the follow-up mission has already begun - to kill the Goguryeo reinforcement spies and to plant some of the mines that we have specially sent from Snake Island on some of the mountain roads on both sides. ”

Wang Junlin nodded and said, "They are fast, and now it is too late to dig a trench. Fortunately, everything else is ready. ”

While the two were talking, a spy came rushing to them.

"Report ......... Lord Qiqi, the enemy's forward is still five miles away from our position. ”

"Probe!"

"Report ......... Lord Qiqi, the enemy war horses were not alarmed in the sound of explosions. ”

"Report ...... Lord Qiyu, the enemy army walked at the front of the army with 500 auxiliaries to open the way, and it was suspected that it was captured by the Sui army who fell into the hands of the Goguryeo people in the west. ”

There were Sui prisoners in the Goguryeo army, Wang Junlin was not surprised, after the morale and military morale of the army led by Yang Guang collapsed, he retreated with the main force, many Sui troops were killed by the Goguryeos, some broke up and did not follow the main force and fled back to the Great Sui, fled into the barren mountains and mountains of Goguryeo, and many people surrendered to the Goguryeo people and became the auxiliary soldiers of the Goguryeo people as cannon fodder.

Regarding this point, Shen Guo'er had already inquired about it, so Wang Junlin also knew about it.

"The Goguryeo reinforcements have really heard about the power of our gunpowder and are on guard." Wang Junlin said lightly, obviously these were also expected——— after all, the gunpowder bag had already appeared when attacking Liaodong City and Daluo City, and mines had also appeared in the battle of Bailing Island.

The Goguryeo people suffered a great loss in the face of gunpowder weapons, and it was impossible for the Goguryeo reinforcements to be defenseless.

"Report ......... Lord Qiyu, the enemy's forward is still three miles away from our position. ”

"Order, the catapult position begins to prepare for the projectile."

"Yes!"

"Lord Qiqi, the enemy's forward is still two miles away from the position."

"Order, the whole army is ready for battle."
