Minamijinura, beach camp.

In the Chinese military tent, Laihu'er had a thick wound belt wrapped around his shoulder, and he was wearing a leather armor, and the serious injury on his right shoulder made him unable to wear the heavy Mingguang General armor anymore, and after lying on the bed for ten days, he still struggled to get up, and after about a month of recovery, he could finally resume military affairs.

The generals in the tent kept talking about the huge sand table in front of them, and Wang Shichong looked at the large mountainous area north of Pyongyang City on the sand table, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he didn't say a word.

Lai Hu'er looked at Wang Shichong and said, "General Wang, the other generals are looking at the dense forest between Pyongyang City and the beach and Pyongyang City, only you are looking at other places, do you have any new ideas?" ”

Wang Shichong raised his head with a serious expression: "The movement of the Goguryeo army in the past few days is not normal, and there are 30,000 troops stationed in the camp to monitor our army, and I think their main force seems to be about to make a move." ”

Xu Gai smiled: "General Wang, do you mean that the Goguryeo people are ready to do something to us?" That's a good thing, we have strengthened the beach camp for more than a month, and now it can be said that it is impregnable, and if the Goguryeo people want to attack it, it is impossible to succeed by piling up corpses on these dozens of miles of beach. ”

Zhou Fashang's face was serious, and he said: "But after all, there are many of them, if they really don't hesitate to kill more than 100,000 people, they can still take it, after all, the beach here is soft soil, and you can't build a city on this beach, if it really doesn't work, our army will also consider urgently withdrawing the fleet to the sea." ”

Lai Wei smiled and said: "Vice Marshal Zhou, we have moved most of the military rations and baggage back to the fleet these days, and now the fleet is parked on the beach." If the army wants to withdraw. You can get on the boat and walk in one day. Don't worry about this, just leave like this, I'm really unwilling, if there is backup, we can still continue to break through the defense of the Goguryeo army and attack Pyongyang again. ”

Wang Shichong, who had not spoken, said slowly: "I'm afraid that our backup is about to arrive." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Lai Hu'er asked anxiously, "General Wang." Where is our backing? Why didn't Ben Shuai know? Or do you have a secret decree and know about it? ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "The support is not from the sea, but from the north, Liaodong, presumably the army has already gone south at this time, otherwise the Goguryeo army would not have made such a move." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was relatively stunned, and after a long time, Lai Hu'er said: "General Wang, what evidence do you have." Or is there any news that can know that the main forces of our army in the north are heading south? Who is the general. How many troops are there? ”

Wang Shichong said with a straight face: "Evidence? The evidence is that the Goguryeo army increased the camp in front of the forest, they were not for attack, if they really wanted to eat us, they would have just ambushed our army in Pyongyang City, when the momentum was at its peak, they would have attacked here with all their might, but they chose to confront our army, and in the camp in front of the forest, there were always only 30,000 or 40,000 people, I had attacked twice at night, and they only held the camp closely, closed their doors, and did not find any ambushes nearby. ”

Lai Hong hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Then they have increased the army in the forest camp this time, can't they want to strengthen the troops and eat us in one fell swoop?" Maybe Goguryeo has brought in reinforcements from elsewhere, and now it has the strength. ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "We have analyzed many times, to eat the 80,000 troops here on our beach, it is impossible without 300,000 troops, just rely on the current increase of tens of thousands of troops, it is not enough to attack, the only role is to put on a posture of a large army to press the border, in order to eliminate the idea of our army attacking Pyongyang, and their real main force must be the main force of our army to the north to meet the south." ”

The generals nodded again and again, especially those battle-hardened generals, who knew that Wang Shichong's analysis was very reasonable and the only reasonable explanation, so Lai Hu'er said: "General Wang, then according to you, what is the scale of the main force of our army going south, and what are the chances of winning the battle with the Goguryeo army?" ”

Wang Shichong frowned, and said: "From the time I left the front line of Liaodong, it has only been about three months now, three months, I am afraid that it is unlikely to be able to lay a strong Liaodong City, if my expectations are good, now the army should be besieging Liaodong City, it is the general of the front line, such as General Yuwen, General Yu, I heard our first Tang report, saying that it was a great victory over the Goguryeo army, and after slashing Gao Jian, and approaching Pyongyang, I couldn't sit still, so I left troops to besiege Liaodong City, and led the main force south. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, everyone knew that such a strong city was not pulled out behind them, and it was a taboo for soldiers to go deep into the enemy's hinterland with the main force, but Wang Shichong's analysis was meticulous, and there was nothing unreasonable.

Lai Yuan was still a little unconvinced, and said: "Maybe it was our army that broke through Liaodong City in one fell swoop after the great victory in Liaohe, why didn't General Wang consider this possibility?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly and shook his head: "If Liaodong City is really critical, the main forces of Goguryeo gathered in Pyongyang would have gone to the rescue a long time ago, they have not been dispatched, which means that the situation there is okay, and there is no need to send a large army, otherwise Liaodong will be lost, and it will be difficult for Goguryeo to recapture it, the strength of their Liaodong army, I have seen it with my own eyes, in the temporary camp around the Liaohe River, 20,000 troops can fight my million army for about ten days, this combat effectiveness is stronger than the Gao Jian Department that we once defeated, That Liaodong City is a solid city that the Yuan family has operated for many years, the city is high and deep, and the soldiers are full of food, not to mention three months, even a year, and it may not be able to be attacked. ”

Lai Hu'er nodded: "General Wang is reasonable, in terms of time, it happens that after our previous Tang report arrived in Liaodong, there will be action." General Wang, what do you think are the odds of the Goguryeo army's attack? ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "They only increased the army in front of the forest camp two days ago, that is to say, their main force has just started, the time of this march, almost after our army crosses the Yalu water, after crossing hundreds of miles of mountains, in the south of the mountain, the plain area north of Sashui to meet the attack, let the danger of the mountains and rivers not defend, but wait for our army to go out of the mountain after the decisive battle, come to the commander, I see that the Goguryeo people have a great appetite, what they want is not to repel or block the main force of our army, but, but to eat it all!" ”

As Wang Shichong's words left his mouth, the whole tent became silent, and everyone opened their mouths in surprise, the idea was too grandiose and challenging, so that almost no one dared to believe it. (To be continued.) )
