远东雨季结束了,此刻远征军统帅部正与高句丽人谈判,诸军统帅做好了撤退准备,水师在近海海域冷眼旁观,崔弘升和他的麾下将士则在萨水两岸挖掘战壕,埋设拒马,以加固桥头堡防御.

On July 21, the Holy Lord served the Pyongyang front with an edict written in his code.

Since the Expeditionary Force crossed the Yalu River, it was too far from the Liaodong Palace and there were also Goguryeo's spies along the way, so it was very difficult to transmit the message. In special circumstances, a team or even a brigade cavalry had to send a escort messenger. This edict was issued ten days ago, and it was when the Expeditionary Force forced the Sashui River. The Holy Lord estimated that the Expeditionary Force would advance to the city of Pyongyang, and specifically told the Front Command that it must comply with the decision of the Eastern Expedition, cooperate with the navy, and attack Pyongyang by water and land. The Palace is doing its best to organize manpower and material resources to transport food, grass and supplies to the Pyongyang front. In order to prevent the Front Command from improperly exercising the power of on-the-moment disposal, retreat without fighting, or retreating after a moment of war, the Holy Lord specially issued a stern warning to the Front Command. Without the Holy Lord's edict, the Expeditionary Force was not allowed to retreat. If it retreats without authorization, it would be severely punished.

何谓遵从东征决策?就是六月十一日,圣主巡视辽东城南战场时所说的,坚决以武力摧毁高句丽,坚决不接受高句丽人的投降.但现在远征军前线统帅部正在于什么?正在与高句丽人谈判,正在接受高句丽人的投降,已放弃攻打平壤.

What is the attitude of the Front Command toward the Holy Lord’s edict? Sneer.

The navy was defeated by attacking Pyongyang in advance. The political conspiracy of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee had been exposed. At this moment, the decree of the Holy Lord seemed very absurd, and the means of deceiving the military were too clumsy. A group of commanders of the military were even wondering, when the news of the navy's defeat reached the palace, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee shot themselves in the foot and humiliated themselves, would they be so angry that they vomited blood? When the expeditionary army returned to Liaodong with the surrender letter of the Goguryeo people, how would the Holy Lord and the Central Committee face the questioning of the military commanders? It can be foreseen that at that moment, in order to cover up their conspiracy and protect their face, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee had to compromise with the military, and would not investigate whether the front-line commander had improperly exercised the right to deal with the opportunity.

不过这份诏书还是发挥了作用.负责谈判的刘士龙向高句丽人宣读了诏书内容,威胁高句丽人,如果你们今天不在投降书上签字画押,我们明天就攻打平壤城.

The Goguryeo people were forced to sign and seal.

The front-line commander was happy. The Goguryeo people's purpose was to drag it out without limit, but the expeditionary army could not afford to drag it out, and there was not enough food, so they had decided to evacuate the Pyongyang battlefield on the 22nd. The Holy Lord's edict came at the right time. The front-line commander immediately turned it into an ultimatum to the Goguryeo people, and the Goguryeo people did not dare to stick to it, so they decisively signed the surrender book. This trick was very skillful. They dragged it for a moment and signed it out for a moment. Then they turned their faces to tear the surrender book and fought again. If they could not beat it, they would continue to surrender. Therefore, the Goguryeo people didn't care. For them, interests were paramount, and credit was a piece of shit.

The Middle-earth people took the surrender book and turned around and left.

On July 22, the Expeditionary Force began to evacuate the Pyongyang battlefield in turn. On the morning of the 24th, the Front Command, Yu Zhongwen's unit, Yu Wenshu's unit and the Right Guard General Wei Wensheng's unit began to cross the Sashui River, and everything was normal.

In the afternoon, the storm suddenly changed, and floods roared. The floating bridges, floating rafts and other crossing tools on the river were instantly swallowed by the flood peak. Thousands of soldiers crossing the river were buried in the river in a blink of an eye.

The soldiers of the Expeditionary Army were shocked, and the commanders of the various troops were even more shocked. Fortunately, Cui Hongsheng had called the police a long time ago. The commander and the commanders of the various troops knew that the Goguryeo built a dam at a certain place upstream of the Sashui River and wanted to attack the Expeditionary Army half-cross. Since the Goguryeo did not dig the dam and release the water during the blocking, it was very likely to kill the expeditionary army when the Expeditionary Army retreated. Therefore, everyone was prepared and would rather believe it than not. Once this matter came true, the lethality was very amazing. It was just because of excessive confidence in their own strength and a little fantasy about the "credit" of the Goguryeo people. As a result, when the Goguryeo people dig the dam and release the water, they attacked half-cross and completely turned against each other, the Expeditionary Army was still caught off guard, and chaos was inevitable.

The flood was flooded, and the Sashui River was cut off. The five soldiers trapped on the east bank quickly turned into defense. Among them, the troops of Xue Shixiong, the general of the Right Guard, who was about to cross the river, lined up on the ground and guarded the bridgehead. The troops of the General of the Right Guard, Xin Shixiong, immediately occupied favorable terrain and blocked the frontal attack of the Goguryeo people. The General of the Right Guard Zhang Jin and the General of the Right Guard Zhao Xiaocai, each led the headquarters to block the enemy on the north and south wings. The General of the Left Guard Jing Yuanheng, had the highest official position and naturally assumed the responsibility of the general commander of the battlefield. He led the troops to the center to support the troops.

On the west bank of the Sashui River, Yu Zhongwen decisively ordered that Wei Wensheng, the general of the right guard, led his troops to Yalu River as quickly as possible to cross Yalu River to ensure the smooth flow of Yalu River. He also ordered Wei Wensheng to arrive at Yalu River and sent a team of elite cavalry to rush to Liaodong for help after arriving at Yalu River.

The Yalushui River is wide and requires a large amount of river crossing equipment. However, the river crossing equipment brought by the Expeditionary Force has been swept away by the flood, and the Yalushui has become an insurmountable obstacle. In addition, the Sasu River has been defeated by the devastating defeat, with a sluggish morale and a disarray of military morale. What is more serious is the shortage of food and grass. Once the Expeditionary Force is surrounded by the Goguryeo people, there will be a disaster of annihilation. Therefore, Wei Wensheng's most important task is not to seize the Yalushui passage, but to rush to Liaodong for help. If the reinforcements from the Liaodong base camp arrive at the Yalushui as quickly as possible, replenish food for the Expeditionary Force and build a floating bridge, the Expeditionary Force may still be able to save half of the lives of the soldiers.

Yuwen Shu was desperate and defeated in Pyongyang. He had an unshirkable responsibility. What was even more terrifying was that the Holy Lord and the Central Committee would suffer a heavy blow. A huge political storm was brewing and would soon sweep across Dongdu, and countless people would be buried in the storm.

Liu Shilong could not believe what was happening in front of him. He saw the expedition soldiers dying one by one, and also saw the shadow of death approaching him quickly.

Yu Zhongwen was angry and angry. When he was in Liaodong, he refused to implement Duan Wenzhen's plan and was rejected. When he was in Yalu River, he refused to cross the river to attack Pyongyang, and was rejected. When he was under the city of Pyongyang, he suggested retreating quickly, but he was rejected again. He was the supreme commander of the Expeditionary Force and the commander-in-chief of the expedition, so why can't he say anything? Why did his opinions be rejected, and why can't his orders be executed? Well, as you wish, a certain heroic name and a certain head will be given to you.

Yu Zhongwen ordered that the troops of our army and Yuwen Shu's army immediately set up a formation to block the attack of the Goguryeo people. Cui Hongsheng's army and his subordinate craftsmen and civilians immediately rushed to cross the river, and did their best to rescue the soldiers trapped on the east coast at any cost.

On the east bank of the Sashui River, the Goguryeo people appeared, and their elite troops began to attack the Middle-Turkish army.

At dusk, on the west bank of Sashui, a Goguryeo army rushed out and fought desperately with Yuwen Shu's troops.

Soon, the night came, and the Goguryeo people continued to attack, never stopping.

The water level of the Sashui River soared and the water flowed rapidly. The expeditionary forces lacked safe and secure tools to cross the river. In addition, the night was dark, so they could not cross the river at all.

Cui Hongsheng suggested to Yu Zhongwen to ask for help from the navy. If the navy goes all out, he will soon arrive at the battlefield. With the size of the navy's warship and the "surplus grain" on the ship, he will definitely save most of the trapped soldiers. In order to save people, Yu Zhongwen ignored nothing and immediately sent messengers to the navy to take a boat to the sea in the name of the front command of the Expeditionary Force to ask for help from the navy. This ship belongs to the navy. When the last time he sent supplies, Cui Hongsheng found a reason to keep it. Fortunately, it was not destroyed by Hongfeng, which just gave the commander the opportunity to ask for help from the navy.

However, the Goguryeo people did not give Middle-earth people time to breathe.

Under the cover of night and the cover of continuous attacks between the troops on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the Goguryeo people dug up the Sashui River embankment several miles away from the Central Turkish army, and dug up the river embankment on both sides. The flood roared out of the gap and rushed towards the Central Turkish army.

On the west bank of the Sashui River, Goguryeo's army quickly retreated to the high ground. Before Yuwen Shu's troops could take a breath, they saw the flood roaring, and they were in chaos and scattered.

On the east bank of Sashui, during the melee, General Xin Shixiong of the Youtun Guard was killed, which directly damaged the morale of the headquarters. The defense line of the Expeditionary Force quickly collapsed. However, at this time, the flood rushed out of the darkness, quickly submerged the Expeditionary Force's positions, and completely destroyed the morale of the Expeditionary Force. More than 100,000 people immediately fell into chaos, and countless fleeing wolves and pigs rushed. Only some commanders and senior officers "expressed their magical powers" under the protection of their personal guards and struggled to escape.

On the west bank of the Sashui River, Yu Zhongwen's army caught him off guard, but at least it was not in chaos and quickly retreated to the high ground.

Cui Hongsheng was prepared for a long time. The camp was built on the high ground and important materials were piled up in the camp. When the flood came, the soldiers on the river embankment and valley rushed to their feet and all were withdrawn safely.

Late at night, Yu Zhongwen urgently told Cui Hongsheng that the five armies of the Goguryeo people flooded the east bank of the Sashui River and the five armies were already established. More than 100,000 soldiers of the five armies could not be rescued. Even if the navy went day and night, it was too late. What's more serious is that this move of Goguryeo was too poisonous and wiped out the five armies of the Middle Earth without any effort. Next, the main force of the Goguryeo people must cross the river overnight to surround the Central Earth army on the west bank of the Sashui River. Therefore, Yu Zhongwen was helpless and ordered Cui Hongsheng to discard all his baggage and retreat overnight. He must arrive at Yalu River before the Goguryeo army, so that it is possible to cross the Yalu River and escape from birth.

After thinking about it, Cui Hongsheng replied to Yu Zhongwen that all the soldiers of our army were trying their best to make the tools to cross the river and save people. For this reason, he begged Yu Zhongwen to give him a morning. Cui Hongsheng was worried that Yu Zhongwen would not agree, and Yu Qian said it bluntly that there were five commanders and many senior officers on the other side, and at least they had to save them. The benefits of saving these people were imagined. On the contrary, if they were left alone and let them die, they would not offend one or two wealthy families. These people would attack him. Not to mention that Cui Hongsheng did not repay his head, even Yu Zhongwen would die without a place to die.

Yu Zhongwen agreed and asked Cui Hongsheng to save all his strength, first save senior officers and then save grassroots officers. How much can he save? As for ordinary guards, he had to give up.
