Chapter 131 This is my fault
It seems that the hatred of the Goguryeo soldiers against the Middle-earth people who provoked this war and brought them severe disasters, and the hatred of the Goguryeo soldiers against the Martyr who were betrayal and the fallen into the wrong hands. The deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers even triggered this hatred. As a result, when the Martyr and the Donghu Guanxian came roaring, the Goguryeo soldiers broke out, bravely moving forward, sacrificed their lives, and the sound of killing was earth-shaking, and the fierce and bloody battle began again.
The Goguryeo soldiers were red in their eyes, and Shaoshi Lin and Quan Baicao were also red in their eyes. The battle situation changed quietly. When the Goguryeo people thought they had successfully resisted the opponent's attack and played equally with the opponent, they did not know that they had fallen into the opponent's trap and were running wildly on the road to failure.
As the evening approached, the Anton Infantry Legion entered the battlefield and surrounded the Shaoshilin tribe. Shaoshilin fought for several days and suffered heavy casualties and his combat effectiveness was sharply reduced, so he naturally became the prey of the Middle-earth people.
Li Fengyun personally visited the front line to command, including Hu Ben, Fengyun, Leopard Cavalry and Beiping, and besieged the enemy from all sides.
At the same time, Ashinalur commanded the Turkic Control Xian, the Thunder Army and the Dragon Cavalry Army, pretending to be the main force, and launched an attack on Quan Baicao's troops. The Sibuqin troops, which were backed by the Dading River, were also besieged by the Mahe people and Donghu Guanxian. In panic, it seemed that it was decisive to order the defense to shrink and fight back to the water.
The battlefield shrouded in darkness seemed to be in chaos, but in fact the Anton Army had already taken control of the overall situation. The three Goguryeo armies were not only divided and surrounded, but also besieged by the Anton Army. Under the ignorance of the truth, Quan Baicao and Sixian thought they were attacked by the enemy's main legion, so they did their best to form a formation to protect themselves and wait for assistance. Even if they had the idea of quickly approaching each other and supporting each other, they did not dare to take risks easily under the fierce siege of the enemy, so as not to loosen their positions and defeat themselves.

Late at night, Qingchuan City.
Yizhi Wende received the report of the Dading River battle, and a sense of ominousness arose.
The entire army of Shi Xin's army was destroyed, which proved that our side's guess of the enemy situation and their judgment of the battle situation were correct. Although our side paid a huge price for this, seeing that the enemy's strength is so strong, the enemy's attack intention is so obvious, and the impact on Pyongyang's security and the survival of Goguryeo, the effort at this price is still worth it. It provides a real basis for its side to formulate correct countermeasures, and may even help Goguryeo win this battlefield.
However, how much chance does Goguryeo have to win this war?
From the destruction of the Xin army, we can roughly estimate that the enemy's troops are at least twice or three times that of Ji, otherwise the enemy will not dare to encircle and annihilate. If the enemy's troops are twice as strong as Ji, it will be a 60,000 army, and three times more powerful than Ji, it will be a 100,000 army. In other words, in the third eastern expedition of Zhongtu, its main force was attacking Pyongyang from the subway, and the army on the west bank of Yalu River is a veritable partial division, but is this possible?
This is impossible. With Yizhi Wende's understanding of the Middle Turkish army, this is absolutely impossible. The battle is about money and food, especially the expedition. There must be continuous support from food and supplies, otherwise there will be no doubt defeat. The main army takes the intermittent route to attack Pyongyang. The first thing that cannot be solved is food and grass, so the partial division can only take a risk. But even a 60,000 army can not be considered a partial division. What is more important is how to solve the food and grass weapons of the 60,000 army? Take a step back, even if there are 30,000 of these 60,000 troops, the Michesters and Donghu are controlled by the Michesters and Donghu, and there are only 30,000 Middle Turkish troops, and the Michesters and Donghu provide cattle, sheep and other food to alleviate their own shortage of food and grass, but more questions follow one after another. Can the 30,000 Middle Turkish troops coerce the Michesters and Donghu fight deep into the hinterland of Goguryeo?
This is obviously impossible. The only explanation is that after Zhongtu evacuated Goguryeo last year, he sent a large number of troops to conquer the Khitan and other Donghu tribes and the Marine tribes. There is information to be found. At the end of last year, Xue Shixiong, the general of the left guard of Zhongtu, went north to attack Fuyu under the name of patrolling the border, and once went deep into the underwater area of Ruoluo. From this, it is speculated that the commander of the Middle-Turkey army on the battlefield of Dadinghe is Xue Shixiong. The Central-Turkey army was the army that Xue Shixiong led the attack on Fuyu at the end of last year, and the number of this army was exactly between 50,000 and 60,000.
If this speculation is close to the facts or even the truth, the crisis will be far more serious than expected. The famous Middle-earth general Xue Shixiong, 60,000 Middle-earth army, 30,000 Marine and Donghu control strings, a total of 90,000 troops, plus the cattle, sheep and other food provided by Marine and Donghu, and even a huge logistics transportation team composed of their tribe and cattle and horses. This is a powerful main force, enough to destroy the army that destroyed Pyongyang and Goguryeo.
The more I thought about it, the more shocked the more I felt, the more ominous it became.
In the early morning, the enemy army wiped out the Xin army. After a short rest, they started attacking Shaoshilin, Quan Baicao and Sibushi, which in fact has confirmed that their speculations are almost the same.
Yizhi Wende urgently summoned Gaibao to hear it.
Send another army to support the Dading River? Gai Baowen almost suspected that he had heard it wrong. Now 40,000 troops have entered the Dading River battlefield. Only his army is left in Qingchuan City. If he leads his army to support the Dading River, Qingchuan will be an empty city. What is the purpose of Yizhi Wende? An empty city plan?
Gai Baowen couldn't help it anymore. Although Yizhi Wende was like a war god in his mind, this order was beyond common sense. So he hesitated for a little and said carefully, "General, I will lead my army to support Dading River, and Qingchuan will be an empty city."
Eddie Wende nodded, "Pyongyang reinforcements will arrive tomorrow, and the enemy is still on the north bank of the Dading River. As long as you defend the Dading River, Qingchuan will rest assured."
The early morning of the fourth day of the lunar month of the lunar month, which is enough to show that the situation in Qingchuan is very tense. Gao Jianwu of Pyongyang must have unconditional support. However, because Pyongyang's defense needs to make some adjustments, the reinforcements delayed until tomorrow to arrive in Qingchuan. However, the situation was unstoppable. Eric Wende did not expect that the situation of the war changed so quickly, and he was caught off guard and could only do this bad strategy.
Gai Baowen immediately heard the abnormality from the words of Yizhi Wende. As long as you defend the Dading River? 50,000 troops entered the Dading River battlefield, you cannot defeat the enemy? The enemy's strength is so strong?
"General, has the situation of the battle changed?" Gai Baowen asked tentatively.
Yizhi Wende nodded with a serious expression, "The army Xin's army was wiped out early this morning."
Gai Bao suddenly changed color when he heard this, and was unbelievable. Shi Xin's army was wiped out? Forty thousand troops fought against Dadinghe, but ten thousand people were eaten by the enemy. How could this be possible?
Seeing Gai Baowen's shock, Eji Wende couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This is my fault. He underestimated his opponent and made a wrong judgment on the situation. Although we have discovered the opponent's reality after several days of fierce battles, we have paid a huge price for it. This is my fault."
"General, how many enemy troops are there on the north bank of the Dading River?"
"There is no specific number at present, but from the changes in the battle situation, it should be between 60,000 and 90,000." Yizhi Wende briefly explained his speculation, "Xue Shixiong is a famous general in China and cannot be underestimated. The various string controls of Martin and Donghu are used by him, which is even more like a tiger. Therefore, the Battle of Dadinghe is very important, which directly affects and even determines the outcome of this year's war, and even determines the life and death of Goguryeo. Therefore, we must do our best to defeat our opponents at all costs."
Gai Bao understood it and felt heavy, as if he was as heavy as a mountain, he was suffocating and could not bear it. He could only win but not lose in this battle, even if he was crushed to pieces.
"The enemy's offensive is fierce, fighting during the day and at night. Taking advantage of their numerous troops, they try to eliminate our living forces on the north bank of the Dading River to the greatest extent. Once they succeed, the entire battle situation will be very unfavorable to us. Fortunately, they have traveled a long distance and shortage of food and grass, so they must fight quickly. If we want to defeat them, we can only use their key points, do the opposite, and do our best to hold them back, stand stalemate with them, and eventually drag them down to death." Yizhi Wende said, "If we want to achieve this goal, it is far from relying on the five Qingchuan troops alone. Of course, if the five Qingchuan troops are determined to burn their jades and stones, they can still block the enemy's front line, but this is not enough. It is far from our goal of defeating this enemy. Therefore, we must ask Pyongyang for help, Yalushui, and continue to increase troops to the Dading River until we completely defeat the enemy."
Gai Bao understood it when he heard this, "The General wants to wipe out the enemy army?"
"The enemy has come on a long journey, taking a risky battle, and going deep into the army alone, and only wins but not loses. If you lose, because the retreat is too long and there is no supplementary food and grass weapons, you cannot escape the misfortune of the entire army." Yizhi Wende sneered, "But since we have come, we have hit my doorstep, and killed and injured so many of my brothers, how can I let them go? Besides, this war has entered the third year, and our country is weak and we are unable to sustain it. If Middle-earth is allowed to drag this war to the fourth year, the result can be imagined. So this is a god-given opportunity. As long as we wipe out this enemy army and hurt Middle-earth again, Middle-earth will be difficult to sustain, and we will be able to end the war successfully."
Gai Bao suddenly realized, "The general wants to sacrifice Qingchuan army to hold the enemy and consume the enemy. When the enemy's food and grass are cut off and it is difficult to continue, we will concentrate all the reinforcements from Pyongyang and Yalushui to surround them all, and it will be decided by a battle?"
Eddie Wende did not deny it or affirm it, "The current situation is very unfavorable to me. The Yalu Water Defense Line may be attacked by the enemy at any time. Pyongyang has fierce internal conflicts, and those who are planning to act are ready to move and may launch riots at any time. Under such internal and external troubles, if we want to defeat Middle-earth and defend our country, there will be many difficulties."
Gai Baowen sighed secretly and said nothing. Whether it was the Middle Turkish army attacking the Yalu Water Defense Line or the rebellion broke out in Pyongyang, the Goguryeo soldiers fighting on the battlefield were all attacked from both sides. Once the situation deteriorated to this point, even if Yizhi Wende defeated the enemy on the north bank of the Dading River at any cost, it would be difficult to turn the tide.
Gai Bao heard the order and left, and led his army to support the Dading River overnight.
Eddie Wende-ze wrote a letter to King Gao Yuan, Pyongyang Gao Jianwu and Jiang Yiwei from the Yalu Water Defense Line to inform Qingchuan in detail of the drastic changes in the battle situation, the latest judgment on the enemy situation, and countermeasures to turn the tide, and once again requested Gao Jianwu and Jiang Yiwei to reinforce Qingchuan on the premise of ensuring Pyongyang's security and the Yalu Water Defense Line to be stable.
However, what Yizhi Wende did not expect was that just as he was planning how to wipe out the enemy troops on the north bank of the Dading River, the army once again gave him a heavy blow.
On the sixth day of the fifth month, the entire Shaoshi Lin army was wiped out in the early morning.
