Chapter Twenty-Nine: Just Around the Corner

Goguryeo, the city of bones.

This time he attacked Liaodong County in the west, and Yi Yinmo suffered a lot of setbacks. This is not the work of Lu Yi alone, and it is needless to say that the three battalions used their lives, but the battlefield that blocked the enemy head-on did not hurt the Goguryeo army greatly, and the loss of thousands of people was only one for Yi Yinmo, who had 15,000 troops. What really frustrated Yi Yinmo was the way back to the Bone City.

The impact of forgetting life and death in Chengtian Chou of Xuansu County, although there are only eight hundred, not to mention the use of the tactics of one blow and far away, it is nothing; The pursuit of the Koji is nothing but gnawing off their tails; The bandit named Pan Ling cut off the grain route and attacked the army and civilians, which is nothing.

But these interlocking offensives are connected together, just like the overlord of the Han army in the past...... Embattled and ambushed on all sides, the chasing soldiers were endless, and the enemy was everywhere, not to mention those Goguryeo soldiers who had long been frightened by the Han army, even Yi Yinmo, the son of the world, did not dare to speak of war again.

He doesn't fight, someone speaks.

Yi Yinmo dispatched the defenders in the city, and briefly engaged with Lu Yi at the Sleeping Tiger Pass in the southwest outside the city, forcing Lu Yi to retreat...... Only retreated three miles, hoarded earthwork to build a high platform, and set strong crossbow archers on it, eyeing the tiger.

However, along the topography of the Sleeping Tiger's Mouth, two high platforms of nearly two feet high were built on the left and right of the valley mouth, which made the topography of the Sleeping Tiger's Mouth change abruptly, as if the tiger was poised to descend the mountain.

Yi Yinmo no longer dared to go out of the city to fight.

The city wall of the Bone City is only two feet and seven feet, and two two feet of rammed earth shooting platforms are erected four miles outside the city, and the rain of arrows can be thrown within a radius of one mile, how can you go out of the city to face the battle? What's more, there are not many defenders left in the Bone City.

Blame Pan Ling, that damn bandit!

Yi Yin Mo stood at the head of the city and hammered the wall fiercely, and the three thousand soldiers who were originally sent to the border from the city of Fusheng Bone City to meet encountered the bandits of the Pan Ling tribe on the road, and the two sides were killed and wounded by each other, and after the two troops and horses joined forces, Yi Yin Mo knew that the soldiers under his command were only 5,000...... Only four or five thousand people died in the battle in Liangshuixi, but the retreat on this border line was more than the loss of troops in the last battle.

It's hard to prevent.

The martial arts of the Han people were vividly demonstrated in this war between Han and Goguryeo.

"Gentlemen, the Han army is under the city, and the army still has a way to survive according to the city pass, if the army breaks and flees, I am afraid that the city of King Juli will not be able to be protected." Yi Yinmo's character is not good, he is proud when he wins, he hangs his head when he loses, and he often loses his temper with his subordinates, but he now thinks that Goguryeo may be difficult to defeat the Han Dynasty, but he asks from the bottom of his heart, according to the battlements of the ancient Hina on the left and right, "I, the people of Juryo, are brave and aggressive, and I do not lose in the cavalry and archery battle array...... Why was he defeated by the Han Chinese? ”

On Yi Yinmo's side, Gu Hinaka's name was Duoqing, an elder who was over forty years old, holding his beard and looking at the Han army archers and waving flags on the high platform a few miles away from the city, sighed deeply, and did not answer Yi Yinmo's question, but slowly shook his head and asked: "Shizi, where is the sergeant of my Goguryeo army who was defeated in the battle formation?" ”

"If you don't get killed and go elsewhere after you flee, where can you regroup?"

"Then why did the Han people, after being defeated by the Son of the World, circulate among the mountains and forests, go deep into my hinterland, plunder the people and cut off my grain routes, and use my soldiers to force up to 3,000 people?"

Gu Chick Jia Duoqing is talking about Pan Ling.

In the war between Liaodong County of Han Dynasty and Goguryeo prince Yi Yinmo in the third year of Chuping, Pan Ling and the bandits led by him played a crucial role, almost single-handedly sweeping away all the deployments of the enemy's rear, cutting off the grain route to block the reinforcements and crushing the soldiers...... With the strength of just one battalion, it fought against all the military schools of Goguryeo.

Even though there were many defeats and few victories, they spared no effort to cause chaos for the Goguryeo army.

Outside the city, sleeping in the tiger's mouth camp, the Han Erminfu sent the baggage intermittently to the front of the battlefield, and Lu Yi walked through the camp with his hands down, and after seeing the baggage sent by the people in the rear, there was no joy on his face.

Lu Yi knew in his heart that although he used thousands of men and horses to set up camp at the mouth of the sleeping tiger, and built the earthwork like a dragon entrenched by a tiger.

But in fact, compared to the Goguryeo army in the Bone City, he was the one who was at a disadvantage.

Their strength was almost equal, and they fought several times during the pursuit, and the three battalions lost nearly half, and there were no more than 5,000 people left. However, the difference in strength has not yet reached a situation that can affect the outcome of the battle, and it is easier to win with less, because whether it is in the combat strength and uniforms of the sergeant or the morale, his subordinates can be called the strong to bully the weak.

But there were problems with their combat readiness.

"General, how many days will it take for the bows and crossbows in the baggage to arrive?" Zhao Weisun has been so busy these days that his feet do not touch the ground, first leading his soldiers to pile up earthwork shooting platforms, and then under the cover of high-platform crossbowmen to collect the war profits in under the city, during which he even clashed with Goguryeo soldiers under the city for a while. "In the end, I found twenty-seven sandalwood bows, more than 400 arrows, and hundreds of deformed arrows scattered under the city, which may still be used with a little polishing."

Lu Yiju looked at the end of the official road in the west, and then looked at the head of the city of Susheng Bone City in the east, and said with a bitter face: "Three days, at least three days, bows and crossbows and armor will be transported to the battlefield with the general in three to six days. ”

Zhao Weisun nodded slowly, quite in the spirit of bitterness, shook his head and chuckled lightly, untied the wine bag from his waist and handed it to Lu Yidao: "Today's soldier handed it in, the general drank two sips?" ”

The biggest pressure is on Lu Yi's shoulders, although Zhao Weisun is also under the pressure of insufficient baggage, but it is not as obvious as Lu Yi, watching Lu Yi take the wine bag, then he explained: "If you really can't do it, let go of the sleeping tiger's mouth, retreat back for another ten miles, and wait for the general to come back and call back...... Susheng Bone City can't run away. ”

Something went wrong with their baggage.

Whether it is to build an earthwork shooting platform or just retreat three miles, it is all the calculation of Koji Yi to sit down and bluff...... If Goguryeo had poured out his troops at this time, he would have been able to defeat the Koji tribe and retreat thirty miles in a battle.

Even if they relied on the location of the sleeping tiger, they could only resist for less than half an hour.

There were still more than 10,000 arrows left, and the second battalion had more than 2,000 crossbowmen, and it seemed that each of them should have only five or six arrows on them. But the truth was that the rest of their crossbowmen each had about twenty arrows.

Because they only have more than 700 Tan archers who can shoot arrows.

Liang Shuixi is a war in the rain, and the bowstrings and crossbows are all made of animal glue, and they are cracked when they are wet. However, if you take proper care of yourself, you can recover after a few days of rest. But since the battle in Liangshuixi, they launched a pursuit of the Goguryeo army, and the battle has not stopped.

Until now, strong crossbows, Liaodong bows...... Seven or eight out of ten were broken, and the remaining bows and crossbows could not be used for a few days, but the hundreds of sandalwood bows collected during the war were still incredibly powerful.

According to the Goguryeo captives, their sandalwood bowstrings were mostly made of the three Han and the solemn tribute of the big fish in the sea, and they were not afraid of rain and rats.

"Let's let the soldiers at the valley pass Dobu Muzha, form a formation to take precautions, what about the bluff, even if the Goguryeo soldiers come out, we can at least fight them for a while first!" Koji Yi made up his mind to gamble on the courage of the Goguryeo people, "Koji is standing here, see if he Yi Yin Mo dares to fight!" ”

……

Yanbei was holding soldiers and horses, and what he was thinking about was not worrying about the war. Although he had received a letter urging him to carry a heavy load, he did not have much anxiety about the war.

"Shizi, the Han and the Xiongnu fought for a long time, in exchange for the peace of the descendants, no longer die because of the war." Yan Bei sat in the car, picked up the sake on the small table and signaled to Baqi, and then tasted it and only took a sip, then put down the wine bottle and said: "Han and Goguryeo, why can't they get along, is it necessary for the people of the country to be exterminated, is it the idea of the Goguryeo people?" ”

Yanbei wants to send Baqi back to China, and along the way, Baqi has seen the Liangshui West Battlefield, the border battlefield, and too many battlefields...... But what touched people's hearts the most was that hundreds of miles east of the border turned into scorched earth, and the 500 families of slaves and criminals who the new king had relocated, as well as many more people who had originally lived here, all turned into nothingness. All that remained in those villages was the ruins of the walls, but not a single person could be found, and only dry bones were left everywhere.

Baqi still remembers the scene on both sides of the Liangshui River in the middle of the country when he followed Wang Yi's advice from Goguryeo to Liaodong County, and now it seems that everything is like a mirror, like an illusion.

"General, the war is not what Baqi wants, and now the situation is ......" Baqi smiled bitterly, drank all the wine in the bottle, and said: "Even if Baqi wants to negotiate peace with the general on behalf of his father, I'm afraid it won't work, why should the general be so courteous?" ”

Yan Bei shook his head with a smile and said, "Does the prince think that peace can still be negotiated now?" ”

Baqi also knew in his heart that more than 10,000 people were killed and injured in Liaodong County in this battle, but the initiator Yi Yinmo was defeated and retreated...... He didn't think that Yan Beiti led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to escort a large amount of military funds in order to send him back to China.

In fact, according to Batche's own thoughts, he should be treated like a prisoner now.

"It's okay, it's okay, Yan is just talking, the prince doesn't have to mind." Yanbei chuckled, and posed the situation of Goguryeo and Buyeo fighting in the north with a wine bottle on the small case, and asked Shizi: "Shizi, the Guli Kingdom has 30,000 soldiers on the northern border, and 10,000 in the west is broken by my Liaodong County, I'm afraid that the country is empty and the troops are insufficient, right?" ”

Baqi looked at Yan Bei and was silent, shook his head lightly but had nothing to say, so he had to lift the curtain of the car, and saw Wang Yi, who was pacing next to the car, with a smile on his face and a reassuring expression.

"What does General Yan mean?" Baqi was a little annoyed, and his words were no longer humble: "I know that Your Excellency has a strong army, this battle will make my small state lose the Bone City, if the general leads the army south, he can besiege the inner city for one or two months, but so what, doesn't the general's Gongsun General in the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty not need Your Excellency to worry?" My husband was defeated, but once he died, why did the general insult me? ”

"Does Shizi think Yan is insulting you?" Baqi's anger was only exchanged for Yan Bei's surprise to ask knowingly, and he waved his hand and said: "Yan Mou returned to China with the prince in the hope that the prince can be the king of Goguryeo!" ”

Baqi was the king of Goguryeo, executed Yi Yinmo, put the new king Bogu under house arrest, and Wang Yi was the great assistant of the country, and was responsible for guarding the 3,000 troops of the Goguryeo garrison...... As long as this battle is won, Yanbei can turn these things into reality!

Goguryeo is just around the corner!
