After listening to the opinions of several generals under his command, after everyone discussed the next plan, and after listening to everyone's report on the preparations in their respective hands, Wang Junlin said: "The oppression of the Goguryeo nobles on the common people is very serious, and we have always done nothing to the ordinary Goguryeo people before, and laid a good foundation, I mean that we have to win the support of a larger number of tenants than the local landowners and gentry." To make the ordinary poor people feel that we are going to occupy this place for a long time, we must first announce the permanent abolition of the Ding tax, divide the fields of the Goguryeo nobles around Daluo City and Nanyang Village who are not subject to us, and let those poor people rent the fields for farming, and the land rent shall not exceed 30%. ”

"In short, we need to show the poor people that they will have land to plant, food to eat, and houses to live in. Let those Goguryeo auxiliaries who have taken refuge in us be convinced that even if they die on the battlefield, their families will be beneficial, and they will not have to worry about their livelihood. As long as we occupy these territories, those who support and support us in essence will no longer be held accountable for any of their previous responsibilities, and their property will be protected, and our only requirement for them is to ask them to sell us rice and grain......

……

……

Have the initiative to choose the battlefield, and at the same time gain a strategic advantage.

There are only 10,000 soldiers and horses in Nanyang County of Goguryeo north of Daluo City, but there are three counties to defend, and in the face of Wang Junlin's men and horses, except for sticking to the key walled cities, it is impossible to prevent Wang Junlin's army from entering the territory of these three counties.

Zhang Tiangang led a 500 special combat team to work in these three counties in small teams to distract the attention of the defenders of the three counties. According to the newly formulated plan, Wang Junlin left Luo Chunlai's 5,000 sailors to guard Daluo City, and he led Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong and Wei Chi Jingde 9,000 men and horses to attack Baishan County, northwest of Daluo City.

Baishan County is the shortest and most convenient passage from Daluo City to Annam.

Therefore, Baishan County is also a key defensive place for Yuangai Suwen, but it is limited by the overall strength, and the actual garrison force is actually very limited.

However, in order to be able to capture Baishan County at the lowest cost, Wang Junlin still led the generals to formulate a detailed battle plan.

Wei Chi Jingde led 3,000 cavalry to quickly insert into the north side of Baishan County before Yuangai Suwen figured out the active direction of Wang Junlin, preventing Yuangai Suwen from transferring reinforcements to strengthen the defense of Baishan County.

In order to confuse Yuan Gai Suwen, he specially abandoned the road from Daluo City to Baishan County, and made a detour to another military village in the east of Baishan County.

And Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong led 6,000 people to travel lightly, and they crossed the mountains non-stop, and directly attacked Baishan County.

The two of them are sharp, carrying bows and knives, traveling lightly, and moving fast. When 6,000 men and horses entered the territory of Baishan County and could see the county seat of Baishan, the wolf smoke in a military fort near Goguryeo was ignited.

The black smoke column blew away and rushed straight into the clouds.

When Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong led their troops to the Black Snake Ridge, an important military fortress in the south of Baishan County, a garrison of more than 300 people hurriedly climbed to the head of the Black Snake Ridge to intercept it.

Obviously, the Goguryeo people in Baishan County mainly guarded against the attack of the Sui army in the neighboring counties, set up a large number of obstacles there, and laid down defenders, but they did not expect that the Sui army had the intention of attacking Baishan County farther away from crossing the mountains.

The Black Snake Ridge mountain is easy, although it can hinder the passage of the brigade of soldiers and horses, but it cannot intercept the lightly armed soldiers to cross it at all.

Seeing that the defenders had arrived in a hurry at the head of the Black Snake Ridge, Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong did not organize the formation, and immediately ordered a thousand men and horses with relatively complete armor-piercing to directly attack the head of the ridge from both sides. At this time, it is necessary to seize speed and time, and not let the defenders gain a firm foothold at the head of the ridge, otherwise even if the formation is rectified, the difficulty of attacking will be doubled.

Traveling lightly, carrying a bow and a sword, a lot of light armor, no big shields, big crossbows, and no flying contradictory vehicles that can cover the rain of arrows. The two teams of soldiers and horses advanced from the two wings with a series of fast crossbows, standing at a relatively high place, accurately shooting the defenders of Black Snake Ridge, and the other soldiers either used light shields to protect the front, or let the soldiers wearing two layers of armor temporarily raise their hands directly in front to protect the front door, and rushed up.

More than 300 defenders, in a hurry, rushed to the head of the ridge is also out of breath, and to the local recruited village bravery, the bow hunting bow, seeing the Sui army like a wolf and a tiger rushing, most of the people have soft feet and heartbeats, although relying on the condescending advantage, but in a hurry to shoot arrows, sparsely pulled, not into a threatening salvo.

When the fast crossbowmen of the Sui army shot a dense and accurate crossbow arrow from two hundred paces away, the defenders at the head of the Black Snake Ridge were suddenly in chaos. Even if the back attack rushes through the place of a stone's throw it is only twenty breaths of time, the armor rushes up, the Mo knife hand is under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers, it is like a killing weapon, and the defenders also have armor, but they can't cooperate with each other to fight, no matter how thick the armor is under the 145 catties of Mo knife, it is also a split, and the ordinary spear is also broken with a split......

The defenders at the head of the Black Snake Ridge were defeated, and the first soldiers to climb the head of the ridge were not busy pursuing, but just let the fast crossbowmen occupy a favorable position to shoot them, mainly to stabilize the position, and cover the soldiers and horses of the brigade to climb up.

Each soldier of the Sui army carried a hemostatic agent with him, which was packed in a small porcelain bottle, and the medicine powder was sprinkled on the wound with a knife, which could not only stop the bleeding but also prevent the wound from festering, and tie it with gauze, so that it could continue to fight.

Those who were seriously injured, as long as they were not fatally wounded, were also treated and bandaged by the accompanying soldiers, and then left five people to cover and garrison on the spot, and together they were responsible for covering the rear road of the soldiers who continued to advance, so as to ensure that the Black Snake Ridge was not taken away by the enemy's scattered soldiers.

Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong boarded the Black Snake Ridge military village and looked at the past, Baishan County was at the northwest foot of Black Snake Ridge, and at this time, hundreds of defenders of Black Snake Ridge hurriedly retreated north and fled to Baishan County.

Baishan County is worthy of being the big county of Goguryeo in Annan County, standing at the head of the Black Snake Ridge and looking at the past, the scale of the city is not smaller than that of Daluo City.

According to the information sent by Shen Guo'er before, although there were 3,000 defenders in Baishan County, there were less than 1,000 soldiers, and the rest were recruited from the local area and auxiliary soldiers.

In addition to leaving 200 people to defend the Black Snake Ridge, Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong did not delay, and immediately led the remaining 5,000 people to go down from the narrow and tortuous ridge road, Lu Han led his men and horses Chen Bing in the south of Baixian County, while Guan Xiaotong led his men and horses to bypass Baishan County and storm Dashiling, another mountain mountain military village in the north of Baishan County

Dashiling Mountain is not high, only more than ten zhang, but across the north of Baishan County, to avoid Dashiling, you need to bypass seven or eight miles of mountain roads to enter Baishan County.

The battle lasted for a long time, and Guan Xiaotong had already taken the periphery of the Dashiling Military Village, directly sealing the entrance from Annan County into Baishan County, and cutting off the connection between Baixian County and Yuangai Suwen.
