On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 338
"Sun Tzu's Art of War: Mou Gong": Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.

Cui Che knows the strength of his subordinates well.

Since he surrendered to Khitan, Cui Che has been preparing for the war with Goguryeo. In the past few years, he has dispatched many secret agents to Goguryeo, but he can only investigate some information about the west and north of the five parts of Goguryeo. Yalu River.

As for the rest of the east, south, and the interior of Pyongyang, it is completely darkened, and can only be glimpsed through the sporadic records of later history books and the research of researchers.

This kind of understanding is naturally not enough. Fortunately, there is no way out, there is no way out, and there is another village in the shadows. I did not expect to catch a woman from a rich family in Pyongyang in Houcheng.

This woman has no feelings for family and country. In order to be able to escape and regain her freedom, she told all the information she knew, including Pyongyang, related to the other three parts of Goguryeo.

The Guilou Department, which is one of the five departments today, was able to seize control of Goguryeo, and it has continued to this day, which also means that its strength far exceeds the other four departments.

Through the introduction of this woman, Cui Che learned that around Pyongyang, there is a group of cavalry guards, and the heavy infantry wearing armor and carrying heavy swords on their shoulders is also the main body of the military force in the Gyeonggi region of Goguryeo.

Cui Che did not doubt whether Goguryeo had enough iron to arm a large-scale heavy cavalry and heavy infantry.

The Anshan mining area of ​​later generations is now in the territory of Koguryo. How could there be a lack of iron ore output.

When Cui Che learned of this, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​sending cavalry to go into battle with light armor while besieging the city, and go deep into the east of the Yalu River to loot wantonly.

He didn't break his promise, he promised the woman that he would release her after the war, but she still had to serve his four concubines during this period.

The armored cavalry that the woman mentioned, that is, the Goguryeo heavy cavalry, also reminded Cui Che that he didn't know about the other party's military deployment, whether the heavy cavalry was sent to the western front.

But just in case, people were ordered to arrange a large number of obstacles around the four camps to prevent possible heavy cavalry from attacking the camps.

In the past, Cui Che didn't have this habit.

It's not that he underestimated the enemy, the performance of truly underestimating the enemy should be similar to Shi Wansui.

When Shi Wansui marched and fought, he often lost his troops, and even when he camped, he would not arrange troops to take turns to guard.

That is to say, the enemy is afraid of him and dare not harass him easily, otherwise he will definitely suffer a big loss.

Cui Che believed more in the combat effectiveness of his soldiers.

In previous battles, Cui Che was eager for the enemy to attack the camp, just like in the battle of Xian'e River, Datou Khan and Dulan Khan encountered obstacles twice in front of the Sui army's camp, which greatly frustrated the spirit of the Turkic soldiers. Victory lays the groundwork.

How could he spend time and effort digging trenches to make the enemy look at the camp and sigh.

Uncharacteristically today, it is not because he is afraid of Goguryeo's heavy cavalry, but because he is worried that the Turkic, Khitan, and Xi servants who followed him on the expedition will not be able to withstand the impact of armored cavalry.

Although the various divisions of the coalition forces have clear barriers, the chaos will not affect the Sui army, but if the friendly army is really defeated, it will also affect the morale of the Sui army soldiers.

Instead, he was full of confidence in the soldiers under his command, and Cui Che even wished for the enemy to attack his camp.

Just like the battle of Xian'e River, Datou Khan and Dulan Khan ran into walls twice in front of the Sui army's camp, which made the morale of the army low.

In fact, Goguryeo did have a cavalry, but did not participate in the war.

Just like Cui Che was reluctant to let his Yandi cavalry dismount and attack the city, that armored cavalry was also Gao Yuan's treasure, and it would not be easy to go to the western battlefield and face the Sui army until the critical moment of the country's subjugation.

Another reason is that Gao Yuan really didn't have the courage to show off the chariots and horses outside the city with Cui Che, and have an upright showdown.

Heavy cavalry are really not of much use in defending the city.

Now the [-] cavalry soldiers following Ulji Mundeok are all light cavalry.

It's just that the right attack did defeat Ulji Wende's plan.

Ulji Mundeok is now hiding among the mountains east of Liaodong City, which is also called the Liaodong Mountains by later generations.

Liang Wanchun, who returned in a hurry, had no time to wipe off the blood on the armor, panting heavily to persuade:
"General! The enemy army is working outside the camp and has set up many obstacles. I'm afraid it will be difficult to attack at night."

As a cavalry general, he naturally had to follow Ulji Wende out of the city.

Prior to this, Liang Wanchun took the initiative to invite Ying, and led the scouts to venture close to the coalition camp, and found that the coalition forces were overhauling the fortifications.

After being discovered by the sentry cavalry of the opponent, Liang Wanchun finally brought the news back to Ulji Wende after a fierce battle.

Ulchi Wendeok was surprised.

Since the defeat of Xiliaohe, Eulji Moondeok has deepened his understanding of Cui Che in the past few years.

It was precisely because of his understanding of Cui Che that Ulji Wende planned to take advantage of his lack of attention to the fortifications outside the camp to launch a night attack.

But instead of attacking the camp of the Sui army, it was the relatively weak Khitans.

If they can win the first battle, their morale will ebb and flow, and they will be more confident in defending the city.

Eulji Wende didn't know why Cui Che had such a change, and even suspected that there were spies inside him who leaked the information, but this cavalry was not his direct army, so of course Ulji Wende did not dare to initiate it at this time. Internal self-examination.

However, Eulji Wende had a plan in mind, he could use this spy to release some false news to lure Cui Che.

Ulchi Wende's battle of wits and courage with the air in this wave is quite similar to that of Dulan Khan back then.

The next day, in the early morning, Cui Che left part of his troops and allocated them to Mai Tiezhang to guard the camp with him.

He himself led an army of more than [-] troops to Liaodong City to lay down the battle.

At the head of Liaodong City, Gao Jianwu saw the flags of the coalition forces covering the sky outside the city. He was unavoidably panicked when he first entered the battlefield.

Gao Yuan himself did not want to take risks with his own body. Gao Yuan did not want to experience the crumbling experience of Liaodong City under Gao Ying's siege back then.

If there is no one of high status to sit in the town, Gao Puluo, the master of the north, and Guannu Jiacheng, the master of the west, will inevitably compete for the dominance, so Gao Yuan sent his younger brother Gao Jianwu to Liaodong.

Outside the city, more than a dozen cavalry marched out on horseback, using the newly learned Goguryeo to intimidate the defenders, claiming that if they did not take the initiative to dedicate the city, after the city was broken, it would be the end of the waiting city.

Although Gao Jianwu was afraid of the military power of the coalition army, the soldiers under his command did not give in. The cavalrymen of the coalition army were greeted by a rain of arrows, which also made the cavalrymen of the coalition army clamoring in the city flee.

Of course Cui Che knew that this kind of action would only provoke the defenders of Liaodong to fight desperately, but without announcing in advance, how could he indulge his subordinates afterwards, causing Kumoxi, Khitan and Goguryeo to form a deep hatred.

　Liang Wanchun is actually a fictional character in Ming Dynasty novels.

　　It’s gone today, I’m not going on a trip, but something happened to my friend, so I hurried over with a few other friends.

　　I will go back tomorrow, and I will write more tomorrow night. I really don't have time to code words here.
