The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 133 The first battle of the siege, against Goguryeo
"What, the Hu people in Liaoxi County rebelled under the lure of the Sui army?"

"What does Liu Yuan do for food? Why didn't he hold the line of defense firmly?"

It's just that after Yuan Gai Suwen got the news that the Hu people in Liaoxi County had rebelled in the Koguryo camp in Liaohe, he was furious at first.

For a while, all the generals in the tent saw Yuan Gai Su Wen being so angry, they all fell silent, and allowed Yuan Gai Su Wen to curse angrily.

After going on for a while, Yuan Gai Suwen stopped and said slowly: "What is Liu Yuan's next step now?"

Hearing this, the orderly bowed his head and bowed his hands respectfully and said: "I will report to the general, General Liu will leave [-] soldiers and horses to continue to garrison the pass."

"And he personally led the remaining soldiers and horses to rush back to Liaoxi to suppress the rebellion."

Hearing the report of the messenger, Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't help but fell silent.

"Stupid, extremely stupid!" After a long time, Yuan Gai Suwen cursed as if thinking of something.

The general at the side couldn't help but feel puzzled, and asked: "General, since the barbarians in the rear are rebelling, it should be the right choice for General Liu Yuan to lead the army to suppress the rebellion?"

Hearing this, Yuan Gai Suwen extinguished his anger, and analyzed: "The general didn't mean that Liu Yuan's plan was wrong, but that his strategy was wrong."

"Why?"

Hearing Yuan Gai Su Wen's words, all the generals in the tent were puzzled by Monk Zhang Er and asked questions one after another.

Immediately, Yuan Gai Suwen quickly returned to his old general demeanor, and said in a frank manner: "Liu Yuan's return to the army to suppress the rebellion is the most correct choice."

"After all, the rear is unstable, let alone resisting the Sui army, but Liu Yuan made a mistake here."

"Liu Yuan returned to the army to quell the rebellion, but he left [-] soldiers to continue to garrison the pass to stop the Sui army. However, the Sui army's fighting power has been fought for a while, and you should all have a deep understanding of it!"

"So, how could [-] soldiers be able to defend against the Sui army?"

"And since the Sui army can figure out how to use the internal instability of our army to lure and alienate, it means that there are experts in the Sui army."

"Therefore, the general guessed that the Sui army must have some countermeasures that have not yet been used. If the general guessed correctly, the Sui army has already begun to aggressively attack the checkpoint at this time."

Following Yuan Gai Suwen's sharp analysis, all the generals in the tent suddenly felt the seriousness of the matter.

Although Yuan Gai Suwen thought so, he was still praying in his heart: "I hope my guess is wrong, and the Sui army has no countermeasures."

"Otherwise, not only will the natural Liaohe line of defense fall, but the situation may also fall into an unfavorable situation."

…………

On the other side of the Liao River, the Sui army camp.

Zhang Xutuo, the coach of Zhengdong, also received a letter from Gao Qi at the same time.

The letter said: "The commander-in-chief personally informed that at the end of the day, after analyzing the internal contradictions in Goguryeo, he decisively sent envoys to the back of Goguryeo to persuade the Hu people to rebel."

"Now that the plan has been completed, the general will take down the defense of Goguryeo in one fell swoop, and then sweep the entire Liaoxi County."

"I also hope that the commander-in-chief can start preparing the boats for crossing the river now, keenly capture the fighter opportunities, wait for the opportunity to cross the river, and try to encircle the Goguryeo army with the last general."

Read Gao Qi's entire plan word by word.

For a while, Zhang Xutuo suddenly understood why Gao Qi stagnated after being blocked by the Goguryeo army in the White Wolf Mountain.

And also took the initiative to cut off contact with the main force.

Now after this letter, Zhang Xutuo suddenly realized that Gao Qi was setting up a big game.

A battle that can reverse the unfavorable situation of the two armies at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xutuo also passed the letter to the generals in the tent for inspection.

Then, Zhang Xutuo said slowly: "Generals, when the 'Yellow Turban Rebellion' was quelled a few years ago, Gao Qi was just a fledgling kid."

"But I didn't expect that after more than two years, Gao Qi has grown so fast, and now the layout is so far-reaching that even the commander-in-chief is ashamed of himself!"

For a while, Zhang Xutuo spoke frankly to the generals, expressing his admiration for Gao Qi and secretly lamenting his own shortcomings in every word.

It took a long time for all the generals in the tent to read Gao Qi's letters one by one.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Kaicai, Zhang Xutuo's counselor, walked out slowly, cupped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Marshal, now that Gao Consort has successfully persuaded the barbarians behind Goguryeo to rebel.

"According to someone's opinion, let's start preparing boats and other tools for crossing the river."

Following the agreement of the scribe Liu Kai, the rest of the generals in the tent also expressed their agreement.

For generals, as long as there are battles to fight, it is a good thing, and any strategic layout is the plan of the superiors.

…………

In the early morning of the next day, the Yanmen Army gradually walked out of the camp in a long fiery red dragon, and assembled towards the Goguryeo Army checkpoint.

Time passed by gradually, and the Yanmen Army was ready to go under the orders of the generals, and they were arranged in a neat formation.

Just looking at the aura emanating from between the formations is enough to throw out many troops.

I saw that all the departments of the Yanmen Army were in order, and there was not a single noise.

When the door was closed, Hu Ertai, the general staying behind, saw such an elite Sui army, and couldn't help sighing: "It's not easy for such a powerful Sui army to resist for a month!"

However, even though he was sighing, Huertai was not afraid either, instead, his blood surged, and he vowed to hold the checkpoint and let the Sui army break down.

This is the quality that a general should have. Even if he 'knows he is invincible', he will not back down. For the benefit of the country, he will fight to the death.

The Yanmen Army lined up neatly and stood with their heads held high, waiting slowly.

After a long time, Gao Qi, who was on top of the divine horse Bailongyin in the Chinese army, raised his head and looked up at the sky. Then he waved his spear and gave the order: "All ministries take their positions and attack the city!"

Give an order, and the Yanmen Army moved under the orders of all the generals in an instant.

Seeing such actions, it can be said that the Yanmen Army has truly achieved the state of "moving as fast as a mountain, moving like a thunder".

The Yanmen soldiers carried the necessary siege equipment such as ladders, well fences, and rush cars.

All the ministries alternately attacked the Goguryeo checkpoint.

Such a strong and elite Yanmen army will launch the first siege battle since the formation of the Yanmen army.

Because Yanmen County is located in the northern border, Yanmen soldiers are almost always on the defensive when fighting with foreign enemies.

Therefore, this time was actually the first battle of the Yanmen Army's siege battle.

For a while, the Yanmen Army marched alternately, and soon approached the front line of the checkpoint.

Seeing that the Sui army entered the shooting range, Goguryeo general Hu Ertai made a decisive decision and shouted: "Shoot the arrow and kill the Sui army!"

All of a sudden, there was a wave of arrows, interweaving sound, and the flying arrows all over the sky soared into the sky and fell into the Yanmen army formation.

"Raise your shield and defend!"

For a while, Zhang He, the general in charge of the siege, saw this scene and gave orders with his gun.

Under the order, the Yanmen Army quickly raised their large shields at a lightning speed.

Form a shield formation, cross guards in the sky!

At this speed, it is done as fast as lightning.

In the next second, countless arrows descended quickly, slowly heading towards the Yanmen army's shield formation.
