On the first day of May, in the morning, on the south bank of the Dading River.

The Goguryeo army, under the command of Shaomurlin, began to cross the river to fight, and for a time the drums and trumpets were noisy, the flags were flying, and hundreds of boats were launched in unison, and the assault and strong warriors were like rainbows, and they were indomitable.

The people on the north shore were a little panicked and a little hesitant.

Although the Goguryeo people crossed the river to attack was also expected, but as far as the current battle situation is concerned, the Goguryeo people are bound to fight fiercely with the Tatar people after crossing the river, and the losses must be very large or even lose, which is obviously not good for the Goguryeo people, after all, the main opponent of Goguryeo is Middle-earth, not the Tatar people who rob by fire, so many Tatar chieftains take it for granted that the Goguryeo people should confront each other across the river, and it is not very likely to cross the river to attack at all costs. However, the facts in front of them gave them a blow to the head, and after one night, the Goguryeo people began to cross the river to fight.

This is troublesome, although there are nearly 10,000 people who control the strings, but this is the root of the Su Mo Ya, from the perspective of ethnic survival, it is very important to preserve the strength, from the personal position of the chiefs, they are not willing to lose their old capital, so the Yan Yan control strings panicked, hesitated, and looked forward to the future and the gains and losses.

While Tie Li ordered to block the attack, he urgently reported to Li Fengyun that the battle situation suddenly changed, and the Goguryeo people began to cross the river to attack, what should I do?

Li Fengyun was very surprised, unexpectedly, and immediately decided to go to the front line to check the military situation, and at the same time ordered Erzhu Tianxiao and Chi Xiaodou Tieyi to immediately lead the Thunder Army, and immediately lead the left army of the Xi nationality to the left army of the Xi people, and quickly set up the valley on the north bank of the Dading River to support the Yan people from the left and right directions.

He also ordered Yelu Tieli, Dahe Mohui, and Naiman Dupan to immediately lead the Khitan left army to the vicinity of the battlefield to stand by, ready to enter the battlefield at any time.

When Li Fengyun arrived at the river, the two sides had already fought fiercely, and the enemy assault team was repelled with a dense array of arrows.

"Wolf Shuai, the situation is very clear, the enemy wants to cross the river, he wants to cross the river at any cost, and the battle today must be very fierce." Tie Li's nervous mood was greatly relieved by the arrival of Li Fengyun and reinforcements, although his expression was still grim, but his tone of voice seemed very relaxed and confident.

Li Fengyun immediately transferred the Thunder Army and the Xi Left Army to the battlefield, and at the same time, the Khitan Left Army was also hurrying over, and did not let the Yan people take on the task of blocking alone, let alone use the knife to kill people to deliberately attack and weaken the Yan people, which made Tie Li and the Jin Ya chieftains really feel Li Fengyun's extraordinary bearing and sincerity in forming an alliance, and their perception of him also changed immediately, but they were still full of high vigilance against him, and they did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Li Fengyun's face was gloomy, his brows were tightly locked, and he looked at the other side from afar, without saying a word.

"Wolf Shuai, the development of the situation is different from our previous prediction." Tie Li continued, "Previously, we predicted that the enemy would make a tentative attack, and once the attack was blocked, he would wait for reinforcements, or take the initiative to retreat and hold on to Qingchuan, but now the enemy has taken the initiative to attack, and he has crossed the river to fight regardless of life and death, putting on a decisive battle posture, what is the purpose of it? Is it to repel us and rescue Huicheng, or to find out our truth? ”

"Of course, it's to find out what we're doing." Li Fengyun said, "Looking at you Ya people from the enemy's standpoint, it is certain that you will fall into the well and take advantage of the fire to rob, but it is absolutely impossible for a lone army to go deep and kill Pyongyang directly, so the enemy's speculation on today's crisis is that there is a hidden behind your Ya people. ”

Tie Li hesitated for a moment and sighed, "It's still exposed after all?" ”

"It was my negligence, my overconfidence, my lack of thoughtfulness." Li Fengyun nodded and pointed in the direction of Qingchuan, "If nothing else, Pyongyang has increased its troops in Qingchuan, and even Eji Wende has come to Qingchuan in person." Then he pointed at the enemy troops on the opposite bank and continued, "The enemy's reckless attack across the river is enough to prove that Qingchuan's defense is solid, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a desperate fight." ”

Tie Li thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, this is still a tentative attack?" ”

Li Fengyun frowned slightly and asked, "Do you have any news to send back the scouts you left on the other side?" ”

Tie Li shook his head, "If you're still alive, there will be news back, but don't get your hopes up." ”

Li Fengyun's brows furrowed even deeper, "If Yizhi Wende sits in Qingchuan, we will be in trouble." ”

Yizhi Wendewei was too famous, Tie Li was very jealous, and when he heard Li Fengyun's words, he hurriedly asked, "What is Wolf Shuai worried about?" ”

Li Fengyun didn't answer directly, "Where is our point?" ”

Tie Li understood as soon as he heard it, and his face suddenly became ugly. The advantage of the long-distance attack of the Anton army is that the enemy is unprepared to attack the enemy, and the fatal shortcoming is that there is a serious shortage of grain, grass and weapons, although the problem can be solved by fighting to feed the war, but the premise is that it must be quickly resolved, once the war drags on for a long time, the grain and grass weapons are cut off, and the Anton army is finished.

Last night, Li Fengyun had already made the decision to cross Sasu and kill Pyongyang directly at the military meeting, and his purpose was precisely to burn, kill, and plunder the surrounding areas of Pyongyang, and the task of staying on the line of the Dading River to contain and attract the enemy troops in Qingchuan was undertaken by the main force of the infantry corps, which was coming day and night.

However, after dawn, the battle situation suddenly changed, the enemy did not confront each other across the river as expected, but crossed the river to attack at any cost, so the situation was complicated, once Li Fengyun's estimate became a reality, Eji Wende arrived in Qingchuan and saw through his own plan, and did his best to attack, dragging his own side at any cost, attacking his own shortcomings with the enemy's strength, then even if the main force of the infantry army arrived, defeated the Goguryeo army, and forced the Goguryeo army to retreat in Qingchuan, but the final result was very unfavorable to the Andong army, first of all, heavy losses, The heavy losses inevitably made it difficult for the Andong army to penetrate deep into the surrounding areas of Pyongyang to burn, kill, and plunder, which led to a grain and grass crisis, and once the crisis turned into a disaster, the Andong army would be destroyed.

The purpose of the Tatar people to participate in this battle is to burn and plunder, to capture the spoils of war, to step on the corpse of Goguryeo to strengthen themselves, of course, there must be a certain price, but if the price is heavy losses or even the total annihilation, the Tatar people will definitely be unwilling, and they will definitely flee.

Tie Li was frightened, hesitated slightly, and asked, "Wolf Shuai, how to deal with it?" ”

"Keep watching." Li Fengyun said, "If the enemy forces on the other side continue to attack, and your scouts who stay on the other side send the news that the enemy troops in Qingchuan have been reinforced again, then it is enough to prove that our speculation is correct, and Pyongyang has not only seen through our plan and seen our vital points, but also launched an attack on our vital points without hesitation, trying to give us a fatal blow." ”

"If that's the case, how do we deal with it?" Tie Li asked eagerly, "Do you want to devote all your strength to fight the enemy to the death?" ”

Li Fengyun glanced at him and couldn't help but tease, "Could it be that Mo Fu intends to fight the enemy to the death?" ”

Tie Li hurriedly shook his hand, "A decisive battle is a plan, but the enemy is rushing frantically, we can't do it if we don't fight, but we will be entangled by the enemy as soon as we fight, and there is no way to cross the Sashui to the east to burn and kill and plunder the city of Pyongyang, and then the grain and grass weapons will be cut off, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Li Fengyun nodded, "If we don't fight this battle, we can't do it, we have no way out, only one battle." ”

Tie Li smiled bitterly, "We don't have enough food and grass weapons, and if we want to fight, we have to fight quickly, but before the main force arrives, relying only on the strength of our horse army, it is too difficult to fight quickly, and even if we achieve this goal, our losses are incalculable." ”

Li Fengyun said without hesitation, "Then rely on the danger of the river, attack half-crossing, do your best to block the enemy army, and wait for the arrival of the main army." ”

This battle must be fought, there is no way to hide, fortunately, Li Fengyun put the Thunder Army, the Xi Left Army and the Khitan Left Army into the battlefield, except for Ashina Duer who took the Turkic control string to Sashui to find a place to cross the river, all the horse troops are here, so that even if the Yan people have losses, the losses are limited, and they are also within the bearable range.

However, Tie Li immediately thought of a realistic question, "If Yizhi Wende sits in Qingchuan and personally commands, will he give us a chance to fight quickly?" ”

"Of course he's not going to give us that chance." Li Fengyun said, "But without fighters, we can create fighters." ”

Tie Li was curious, and immediately asked, "Please ask Wolf Shuai for advice." ”

"We have come from a long distance, and the shortage of food and grass is obvious, but there is another obvious problem with this." Li Fengyun said with a smile, "This is the fighter." ”

Tie Li suddenly had an epiphany, "The wolf is handsome and smart." ”

Long distance travel, food and grass shortage, the number of troops is small, otherwise people will starve to death before they reach the destination, but the Anton army is an exception. At that time, Tie Li didn't believe it, thinking that Dahe Duluo and Yelu Tieli were deliberately deceiving and exaggerating, and he didn't have to believe it until he saw Anton's main force slaughtering into the Haofa River.

Now it is unknown whether Pyongyang and Eulji Moondeok knew about the great changes in Andong, but one thing is certain, Pyongyang and Ulji Moondeok did not know that Andong had more than 100,000 troops, let alone that these hundreds of thousands of troops had entered the hinterland of Goguryeo from the direction of the Hafa River, and this was precisely the fighter plane of the Andong Army.

"Count, count." Tie Li said, "If the enemy wants to fight, to hold us back, and to lose both of us, then they will fulfill their wishes, put on a posture, and fight them to the death." ”

At this moment, the drums of the opposite bank thundered, the big horns sounded in unison, and another round of attacks began.

With the support of Etochi Wende and strong support, Shaomurin was full of confidence, and went to the front line to supervise the onslaught.

Li Fengyun saw that the enemy army was not afraid of casualties and the offensive was like a tide, and he became more and more sure of his guess.

In the afternoon, the scouts left by Tie Li on the other side finally heard back. Just as Tie Li guessed, there was no one scout out out of ten, only two of them escaped to the river and swam back, bringing a shocking news that Qingchuan sent reinforcements again, and it was tens of thousands of reinforcements.

Li Fengyun urgently summoned the commanders of all the armies, made concerted efforts, coordinated operations, attacked the enemy halfway, tried every means to delay and consume the enemy army, and won enough time for the main force of the infantry corps to arrive on the battlefield.

The Anton army wants to fight a battle on the north bank of the Dading River, and it is not known whether it can be quickly resolved, so the main force of the horse army had to give up the original plan to advance eastward, but considering the increasingly serious crisis of grain and grass, he also asked Ashina to take a risk, lead the army to go deep alone, and cross the river to the east to burn and kill and plunder, so as to solve the urgent need of the army.

He also urgently wrote to Han Shimo that the battle had begun, and asked him to speed up his march and arrive at the battlefield in the shortest possible time.

He hurriedly wrote Li Zixiong again, and went south quickly, and he was afraid that there would be changes later.
