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

Chapter 150 Surprised the valley, suffocating

It is only said that the coach Zhang Xutuo personally led [-] soldiers and horses with great fanfare, and traveled day and night all night.

The marching speed is more than one day!
As for why there was a big fanfare, of course Zhang Xutuo did it on purpose.

Otherwise, how could Yuan Gai Suwen get the news, and then lead the army out of the city to lay an ambush?
Sure enough, Zhang Xutuo only led his army out of the camp for a few hours, and Yuan Gai Suwen in the city got the tip.

For a while, Yuan Gai Suwen called all the generals to discuss this matter.

Unsurprisingly, the Goguryeo generals were divided into two factions, arguing endlessly!

One group thought that there were many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the valley path, and the Sui army's visit was nothing more than a "sheep entering the tiger's mouth", so they didn't care about it at all.

The other faction fought hard according to reason and insisted on persuading Yuan Gai Suwen to send troops to set up an ambush to stop the Sui army.

And the reason given in it is also reasonable, that is, if the Sui army uses the "medicine man" in Liaoxi County as a guide, they will pass through the habitat of poisonous insects and beasts.

At that time, Lingli Pass will be in danger!
And this opinion was also supported by the majority.

After all, war is a battlefield where you live and die, not a joke.

It would be really stupid to attribute everything to the possible.

As the Goguryeo generals and the two factions held their own opinions, neither of the two parties could convince anyone of their views, and they couldn't help but quarreled in an instant.

In the end, it was also Yuan Gai Suwen who shouted loudly that the argument was stopped.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Gai Suwen said in a deep voice: "This time, the commander will personally lead the heavy army to set up an ambush in the valley."

"Be sure to make it wipe out this Sui army."

It's just that, as soon as Yuan Gai Suwen said this, the opposing party immediately began to reject it, and the leader among them was Liu Yuan, who was known as "stable" in the army.

"General, according to information, only [-] soldiers of the Sui army raided Lingli Pass from the valley path."

"Only the tens of thousands of Sui troops passed through the 'poison pan lair' in the valley, where the poisonous insects and beasts even the locals dare not walk easily."

"How could the foreign Sui army break through this deep valley?"

"Therefore, the general thinks that there is absolutely no need for the general to take great risks and lead his troops out of the city to set up an ambush. He should concentrate on defending the city, which is the most important way!"

After some analysis, Liu Yuan put forward his opinion again.

From this point of view, Liu Yuan is really only suitable for defending the city, not conducive to going out of the city for field battles.

And Liu Yuan's deadly enemy, An Dianbao, was of course the one who advocated going out of the city to ambush the Sui army.

In the end, after careful consideration, Yuan Gai Suwen finally finalized his final plan and personally led the heavy army to set up an ambush in the valley ahead of time.

As for why he left the city, Yuan Gai Suwen also gave a reasonable explanation.

"According to our army's informant, the commander of the Sui army who raided Lingli Pass is Zhang Xutuo, the commander of the Sui army's expedition to the east."

"If it's just ordinary Sui generals commanding troops, I don't pay much attention to them, because they will definitely be buried in the belly of animals."

"But this time the Sui Army's commander Zhang Xutuo personally led the troops, which means that the Sui Army attached great importance to this raid plan. Otherwise, why would the Sui Army ignore the risks and lead the troops in person?"

With the gradual analysis of Yuan Gai Suwen's words, there were fewer and fewer objections in the hall.

After all, Yuan Gai Suwen's analysis was extremely accurate. If the Sui Army hadn't been fully sure, how could the coach personally risk a surprise attack?
This idea can be said to be the only concept in the hearts of Goguryeo generals today.

Therefore, seeing that he had convinced the generals, Yuan Gai Suwen began to order: "This time, I will lead [-] troops to set up an ambush."

"The defense of the city should be supervised by Liu Yuan!"

"promise!"

Hearing this, Liu Yuan immediately bowed his hands and agreed, without revealing any dissatisfaction in his words.

Although Liu Yuan has always opposed the plan of going out of the city to ambush from the beginning to the end, this does not mean that Liu Yuan does not agree with this plan.

In fact, after hearing Yuan Gai Suwen's analysis, Liu Yuan also knew that he was too cautious.

Maybe this is really a godsend opportunity for Goguryeo?

As long as the ambush is successful and the Sui army coach Zhang Xutuo is killed, will the remaining Sui army be far from collapse?
And the biggest variable in this is that it depends on Liu Yuan's troops who stayed behind.

As long as Liu Yuan defends against the large-scale attack of the Sui army and delays Yuan Gai Suwen's ambush to return to aid.

Then the catastrophe of the Sui army's annihilation will come one after another!

…………

On a meandering path, a long line of troops is advancing with difficulty.

Looking impressively, who is this army not led by Zhang Xutuo himself?
"How far is it from here to the 'Dupan Cave'?" Zhang Xutuo asked the Koguryo medicine guide in a flash.

"General, there are still about ten miles to arrive at the 'Drug Pan Cave'."

Immediately, one of the guides spoke respectfully to Zhang Xutuo.

After hearing this, Zhang Xutuo immediately became serious, sat on the horse, raised the whip in his hand, and ordered: "The whole army forms a defensive formation and advances step by step!"

All of a sudden, the Sui army lined up in a row, and an orderly formation lined up in mighty numbers.

It's just that the further you go, the steeper and more rugged the road, and the more gloomy the terrain.

In the path, in the valley, the shadows of several birds' nests looming in the sky suddenly flew horizontally.

After walking forward to a valley, the scenery in the sky suddenly changed.

In an instant, there were weeds and vines in the valley, and the valley was filled with darkness, which was extremely terrifying.

For a moment, countless black crows hovered over the valley.

In an instant, the situation in the valley was so terrifying that even the Sui army, who had always been good at fighting, couldn't help but shudder.

Zhang Xutuo, who looked all over the place and listened to all directions, knew that the soldiers should not be cowardly at this time, so he waved his knife and shouted: "Soldiers, hurry through this dark place and gallop forward!"

For a while, Zhang Xutuo's morale boost also had an effect, and the soldiers of the Sui army quickened their pace one after another, eager to go out immediately.

…………

In the darkness of the dark night, blood-red color could be seen vaguely.

Sui Jun, who had passed through the 'Dupan Point' halfway, couldn't help but feel restless in an instant.

Whether it is among the soldiers or the horses, there is a sense of unease.

Coupled with the unique topography of the 'Drug Pan Cave', the light here is dark and it looks even darker.

There was a horrible atmosphere in the valley.

Suddenly, there was not enough time for a moment, and panic broke out in the Sui army's formation.

Because there is a horrible scene ahead.

Wolves, a pack of wolves appeared above the valley, staring at the soldiers of the Sui army.

I saw that the countless wolves were all jet black, and they looked extremely fierce.

For a moment, even the weapons tightly held by the elite soldiers of the Sui Army were covered with beads of sweat.

…………

The battle of wolves is about to start!
