Emperor Sui Yang

Xin Shixiong entered the Liaodong Peninsula and began to build a line of defense. His first task was to prevent the enemy troops from the peninsula from leaking out, so as to affect the main force going south.

Under what circumstances do you play humble luxury?First solve the dozen or so mountain cities east of Beishe.

Beishe is the area around Dalian, which is an offshore area, and Xin Shixiong still has a long way to go to reach Beishe.

So the best way is to block it and wait for work.

If Beishe does not have the support of the Navy, the connection with Black Bone City will be interrupted, and after a long time, logistical support will go wrong.

After the Sui army occupied Liaodong City, there was an unexpected joy, that is, there was a huge amount of grain and grass materials hoarded here, some of which were burned by the enemy, and some were too late to burn.

Originally, there was still a shortage of food in the Sui Dynasty, but after conquering Liaodong, they were full all of a sudden.

Historically, Yang Guang's previous two attacks on Goguryeo failed to defeat Liaodong.

The topography of the Liaodong Peninsula is high in the middle and low in the surrounding area. The mountains in the middle are the Qianshan Mountains, the remaining veins of Changbai Mountain.

Xin Shixiong wanted to intercept the enemy forces on the peninsula here. The heavy troops should be placed in the low corridors on the north and south sides. As for the high ground in the middle, it is not easy to deploy defenses. We can only take down Lotus City, Xiangyang City, Mingchan Temple, and Lishan City as soon as possible. The four cities built a defense line.

Shi Wanshou and Linghu Chang were stationed in the lowlands on the north and south sides of the peninsula, separated by nearly three hundred miles.

Yang Wanshi led the top three with 500 men and was responsible for attacking the four cities including Lianhua City. Guo Si was able to support the 5000 men of Qingqi II.

The remaining armies each occupy favorable terrain, water sources, and important access routes, and arrange defense lines.

"Send more ranger scouts to investigate the surrounding area. If there is any strange phenomenon, report it immediately." Xin Shixiong studied the terrain of the peninsula in a temporary camp at the foot of a mountain.

Pang Ben said from the side: "It's very strange. So far, we have only encountered a small group of enemy troops, and they retreated when they saw me. Deng Hao said that there are more than 1 enemy troops hoarded on the peninsula. I don't know if it is accurate."

The sub-general Zhou Zhongan said: "Deng Taishou's military report is still accurate so far, and there is not much access. Except for the navy, Beishe City has about 5000 people, and the other ten mountain cities can add up to [-] people. , it’s not bad, but we don’t know if the Beishe Navy has left or not.”

During the Sui expedition to Goguryeo, the 24th route was in charge, but Yang Guang couldn't control the only one route, that was the navy that came to protect the children.

If the Beishe Navy did not leave, the threat to Xin Shixiong would be quite terrifying, so Xin Shixiong was very careful and did not dare to venture forward at all.

"As long as the north-south line of defense is formed, it doesn't matter whether the navy is there or not," Xin Shixiong said in a deep voice, "We still need to be more cautious. After Yang Wanshi takes the four cities, we will guard against death and closely monitor the water sources in various places to see what the scouts in front can find out." What news, if the navy leaves, we will march southwest again."

It was not easy for Yang Wanshi to fight the four cities, mainly because he was too tired to climb the mountain.

"It's really a place where birds don't shit. Why do people live on the mountain?" Yang Wanshi complained to the deputy general beside him.

The deputy general was also puzzled: "There is no water on the mountain, how do they drink water?"

Yang Wanshi squatted down, took a few sips of clear water from the stream with both hands, and said with a babble:

"Good water. It's a waste to let these barbarians drink such good water. This should be downstream. Send a few riders to check upstream to see where the stream comes from."

Mountain spring water must have springs, mainly from the flooding of the mountain, that is, rainwater falls on the mountain, slowly seeps down, forms a water channel in the crevice of the mountain, and then flows out through the spring to form a stream. This kind of spring water sometimes disappears. .

There is another kind, which is an artesian spring with backflow of groundwater, which is generally seen in low-lying places, and this kind of spring water flows continuously.

From ancient times to the present, where people live, there must be water. Yang Wanshi’s water for Dingshan City must be taken from the foot of the mountain. Where there are mountains, there is water. Mountains and rivers always depend on each other.

Five riders turned into one fire, walked upstream along the stream, and walked seven or eight miles around the bend, they found an enemy camp.

The five people hurriedly dismounted, tied the horse into the forest, and then carefully groped forward to check the situation.

This camp is not big, just seven or eight wooden tents of different sizes, covered with weeds, relatively hidden.

The ranger team is very patient, nesting in the grass without making a sound, quietly watching the movement in the distance.

Not long after, I saw dozens of strong people dressed as civilians carrying buckets to fetch water. It turned out that there was a pool of water behind the tent, which was formed by a spring in the mountain. They carried water from here. Then send it up the mountain.

One of the rangers was sent back to report the situation, while the remaining four remained in place to monitor.

After Yang Wanshi received the news, he immediately allocated [-] soldiers to Li Song, the brigade commander, and asked him to go and check.

After Li Song led the people to the destination, he didn't say anything, but continued to check the paths of these water bearers up the mountain.

"The mountain on this road is quite secretive, and it may be our army's main attack direction," the adjutant returned and whispered.

It was very difficult for Yang Wanshi to fight from the front, mainly because the road up the mountain was really difficult, and the guards were wearing heavy armor, and they had no strength when they climbed up.

But the path Li Song found was very easy to walk, even though it was winding and winding, and the guards didn't need to climb up through the thorns and thorns.

"It's all hidden, let's move at night, first kill all the bastards in the camp, and then go up the mountain along this road," Li Song ordered everyone to hide, and then waited quietly for nightfall.

After Yang Wanshi received the news, he immediately sent someone to contact Guo Siben's Qingqi Er, and asked him to keep an eye on the water sources, but keep quiet, he wanted to use the enemy's water transportation route to attack the city.

On their side, there are all refined weapons, while the Goguryeo soldiers on the mountain are poorly equipped, with shields made of wicker and a knife, this is a qualified soldier.

The main reason is that the place is small, the resources are limited, and the good equipment is given to those big cities. The mountain city mainly relies on the terrain advantage to resist the Sui army.

Among other things, if you hide behind the city wall and condescendingly throw stones down, the lethality is no less than that of bows and arrows.

Yang Wanshi suffered from this, because refined armor is not afraid of swords and guns, but he is afraid of stones. If he is hit by a stone, it is an internal injury. Besides, there is no good place to stay on the mountainside. If he is not careful when rushing up, he will sprain foot.

Once a person sprains his ankle, he is useless.

After nightfall, Li Song led 200 people into the Shuitan camp, and killed all the Goguryeo soldiers in the camp, leaving no one alive, and there were only a few wounded on his side.

So a brigade of 200 people trotted up the mountain along the path, with six forwards carrying a wooden beam unloaded from the Shuitan camp, which was used to smash the door.

The city walls outside the mountain city should have gates. This is Li Song's judgment. How could he carry water in without gates?You can't climb over the city wall with a bucket, can you?
As soon as he approached the first city wall, several cold arrows swished out.

But Li Song is not afraid at all. Everyone knows that as long as you don't throw stones, I will not be afraid of you.

"Slam the door!" Li Song yelled, the guards made way for the six people who were carrying the wooden beam, and then separated seven or eight people, holding the wooden beam together, they slammed into the not so strong door past.

With just one click, the door was smashed open.

"The rowing hands are on both sides, and continue to go up the mountain. The archers don't shoot arrows, save them for going up." Li Song held a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right.

He has never fought such a safe battle in his life. He is supported by a refined shield, and his heart is very relaxed. What's more, the 200 of them are full armor.

In this way, after a fierce battle in the middle of the night, Li Song's 200-man brigade captured Lianhua Mountain City, killed 2000 enemies, captured more than 27 civilians, injured [-] of them, and one survived.

Yang Wanshi inherited the family style of the Yang family and ordered that not a single soldier be left behind. All the strong men were driven out of the city, and they worked as coolies on the mountainside to reinforce the city wall.

By controlling the water source, you can control the mountain city. Yang Wanshi deployed troops in various water sources. His line of defense, with the successive capture of the four cities, has begun to take shape.

Xin Shixiong sent Pang Tao's 3000-strong bow and arrow one over to garrison the four cities respectively, and passed the news to Li Jing.

Only when a line of defense is built here, can Mai Tiezhang hit the black bone with peace of mind.

Black Bone City must be taken within ten days, because after ten days, the main force of Yu Wenshu's Chinese army will go south from here.

But Wugu is very difficult to fight. The rivers here are criss-crossed. There is Aihe River, a major tributary of the Yalu River.

So Love River is the mother river in Dandong, Liaoning, and Black Bone City is located in Dandong.

There are more than [-] mountain cities here, among which Phoenix Mountain City has [-] soldiers, which is the largest mountain city in Goguryeo.

"Ten days, we won't be able to win the black bone at all. If we fight this way, the main force of the chief executive will not be able to go south as scheduled," Su Lie said, pointing to the star-studded mountain city on the map:
"Looking at their distribution, each responds. If I divide my troops to fight, I will be easily restrained. It is best to encircle them. Wait until the army goes south, and then slowly plan."

Mai Tiezhang frowned and said: "Encirclement and suppression is not a long-term solution. There are heavy troops in the Wugu area. Once they break through the defense line, they will harass my main force going south. We should concentrate our forces to attack Wugu and Fenghuang Mountain. The other mountain cities will surely be rescued. Then I can form a containment, which is to replace defense with offense."

Su Lie objected: "The mission of Black Bone City is to prevent my main force from going south. If I go to attack, I may not be able to fight. Once I wander around and wait for the opportunity to find my main force, then it will be impossible to encircle me. You must know , Whoever is going to fight Pyongyang, Goguryeo is clear, and they know it is not us."

This was Yang Guang's fault, but it was the second time in history that he attacked Goguryeo, and Yang Guang corrected it, but it was a pity that there was a Yang Xuangan that time.

After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Xuangan made the most of the contribution. If he hadn't rebelled in the rear and attacked Goguryeo for the second time, he would have won.

"I agree with Director Su's idea," said the boss Mai Mengcai, "Since father is hesitant, why not report to Director Li for a decision."

Mai Tiezhang pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Then let's see what the manager means."
