In the early morning, the morning light first appeared, and on the Sashui River, twenty bridges built by Zhou army overnight had been put into use. A large number of soldiers and horses crossed the river through the bridge and arrived from the east bank from the west bank.

On the east bank, the Zhou army vanguard who was the first to cross the river last night had formed more than ten small formations, blocking the bridge. The bodies of people and horses were lying on the outside of the small formation. This was the body that the Zhou army had no time to take away when they retreated after the battle with the invading Goguryeo army.

The Zhou army pioneer who covered the bridge had already completed the task well. Their own army crossed the river, but they did not dare to slack off at all. They still maintained their formation and were always ready to welcome a new round of attacks from the enemy.

Because the army half-crossed is a good time for the enemy to assault, they have to hold on for a while.

Ten miles east of the Zhou army, the Goguryeo army was gathering, and the horns were ringing one after another. The troops and horses arranged the army according to the orders and prepared to fight the Zhou army across the river to the death.

Although the enemy was able to attack halfway through, the Zhou army was well prepared and fought overnight. The Goguryeo army could not take any advantage, so they lined up the army and had a head-on confrontation.

Goguryeo commander Eji Wende rode his horse out under his personal escort and observed the enemy situation of the Zhou army crossing the river on a hill.

The flood not long ago made the Sashui River section in front of him like a mud. The strategy of seducing the enemy set by Yizhi Wende himself failed with the early outbreak of this flood.

However, this flood made the area along the undercurrent of Sasui River muddy, which also made Echi Wende come up with a new plan.

Last night, the Zhou army built a bridge in Sashui under the cover of the night so that the army could cross the river. Yizhi Wende sent elite troops to attack and tried to repel them. After several confrontations, it was found that it was extremely difficult to shake, so the Goguryeo army retreated.

Yizhi Wende chose to let the Zhou army cross the river to form a formation.

When the other party crosses the river and stands in the mud and fights with one side, it will be somewhat inconvenient. When the troops of each unit are mobilized, they will bump and impact their speed.

Yizhi Wende thought so, watching the Zhou army crossing the river indeed enter the muddy east coast area, and then looked back at his formation.

The decisive battle is about to begin today.

This year, the Zhou army was coming in full force, and the emperor of Zhou issued a manifesto claiming to slaughter Goguryeo. Goguryeo's monarch and ministers dare not take it lightly. No one thought the other was a false intimidation, but they had differences on how to fight.

In recent years, the Zhou army has invaded every year, and the main attack directions are three: Liaoshui, Yalushui, and Wushui. Everyone has their own opinions on which direction the opponent's main attack direction is.

Yizhi Wende participated in the military convention held by the king one after another, and knew that everyone was quarreling at the meeting.

Some people believe that the Zhou army has the convenience of sea routes. They had invaded along the river and were at the city of Pyongyang. Therefore, when this attack, the main force would inevitably go to the river line in order to defeat Pyongyang in a short time.

However, some people believe that the Zhou army is suspected of attacking the west and attacking the west. It is likely that the side troops float to the sea and cross the east, and the troops are at the gate of the river to attack Pyongyang. This is used as a restraint. In fact, the main attack direction is the Liaodong region.

Both views make sense, while Moli Zhiyuan Taizuo believed that the Zhou army was very likely to attack Yalu River first and cut off its borders in half, and could not take care of each other's head and tail, and then wait for an opportunity to move.

Now, if the Zhou army's movements were as Mo Lizhi guessed, he could not sit still and wait for death.

The enemy has already captured the domestic city and controlled the middle and lower reaches of Yalu Water. Now he is heading south and approaching Pyongyang. If he does not give a head-on attack, the situation will be in seconds.

Everyone has seen this and has no doubt about gathering the main force to fight. The question is who should lead the troops?

Yizhi Wende knew that the situation in the court was somewhat subtle, and Moli Zhiyuan Taizuo controlled the power. In fact, the Yuan clan and his followers had begun to threaten the royal power. Although the king and the royal clan had thought of many ways in secret, they could not shake the foundation of the Yuan clan.

Now that the main force of the official army is attacking, the candidate for the head coach is very important. First of all, you must have a coach, otherwise it will be troublesome to defeat the battle.

If the king wants to stay in the capital to stabilize the hearts of the people, he cannot command the troops in person. As a powerful minister, Yuan Taizuo was not good at leaving the capital easily to prevent any changes. Of course, this matter will not be said in public, so a good fighter must be chosen to lead the troops.

As the head coach, if this person successfully repels the enemy, his reputation will inevitably rise sharply. Therefore, both the royal family and the Yuan clan hope that the head coach is "his own person" so that he can take advantage of a victory and gain a favorable position in the power struggle.

The enemy is ahead, and the outcome of the decisive victory is unknown. The monarch and ministers are more effective around the head coach. The result is that the Yizhi Wende, who is relatively in the "centric", became the head coach of the army.

Yizhi Wende served in the army for many years. He was a high-ranking official in the capital and also went to the local area. In terms of ability, qualifications and prestige, he was one of the best candidates for the head coach. He cannot be said to have close relationships with the royal family and Yuan clan, but at least he will not be regarded as enemies by both sides.

Therefore, Yizhi Wende became the commander of the army and soon led his army to attack, trying to intercept the invading enemy on the front line of Sashui.

In order to repel the enemy, Yizhi Wende tried his best to think of many ways to win by making a strategy.

The commander of the Zhou army was the prince of the State of Zhou, the king of Yan, Yuwen Weihan, and the chief marshal, and the commander of the maritime commander Wang Jun. Yizhi Wende felt that the Zhou emperor asked the eldest son to take charge of the war was to benefit from it, so that Wang Jun was the real person who made the decision.

Yizhi Wende collected all kinds of information and knew that Wang Xu was a man who served as the Maritime Man for nearly ten years. He judged that Wang Xu had held this position because he was afraid that he had bad intentions towards Goguryeo from the beginning. He must have been deliberately trying to destroy the country over the past ten years.

Therefore, Yizhi Wende knew that his opponent was Wang Jun, not the young prince.

The competition over this period of time shows the judgment of Yizhi Wende. He sent weak soldiers to continue to defraud, trying to lure the Zhou army to pursue, and then build a dam upstream of the Sashui River, and wait for it to attack when it crosses the Sashui River.

This strategy was cracked by the other party. The Zhou army used any means to destroy the dam in advance. When the flood swept downstream, the main force immediately arrived on the west coast of the Sashui River.

The Zhou army marched eastward (southeast direction), and there was no flaw along the way. His military style was so steady that it was impossible for a young prince to do it.

Now, Yizhi Wende knew that no strategy was useful, and he could only rely on the decisive battle to determine the outcome. He had confidence in his army, but the weapons that the Zhou army might use made him feel a little uneasy.

According to the defeated soldiers, the Zhou army used a powerful weapon this time. The power of this weapon is amazing and will explode when hitting the target. The explosion is also amazing and cannot be resisted by human power.

Bozhuo City, Wugu City, Domestic City and other strong cities can't last for a day in front of such weapons.

After hearing the report of the defeated soldiers, Yizhi Wende couldn't believe what the other party said. He could not understand how such weapons were there in the world, but the rapid fall of Bozhuo City, Wugu City, and domestic cities was a fact, and he couldn't help but disbelieve it.

Now, will the Zhou army use this weapon in the battle formation?

Yizhi Wende didn't know, he only knew that he would try his best to win the decisive battle, or at least to a draw.

The sky was shining brightly, the rising sun rose, and the sun shone on the earth. Yizhi Wende looked at the Zhou army that had almost crossed the river, and looked back at the army that had already been lined up and started eating "Kong Food", and couldn't help but hold the whip tightly.

The hill he was in was actually a long hill running north and south, like a wall, blocking the view from both sides of the east and west.

The hill was controlled by its own side at this time, so the Zhou army could not see the situation east of the hill and could not make corresponding arrangements.

Yizhi Wende tried his best to gain some battlefield advantages for his side, so he asked the Zhou army to cross the river, set up formations in the mud, and then was blocked by this hill, so he could not check the situation of his side's army in advance.

He has done everything he can do and has also arranged what he should do. Next, he can only rely on the lives of the soldiers of the army to defeat the enemy invading.

While thinking, I suddenly heard the left and right screams, Yizhi Wende looked in the direction pointed by the other party, and couldn't help but be stunned.

On the banks of the Sashui River, several large cloth bags rose from the Zhou army formation, and the large cloth bags flew into the air, like huge heads, staring at the battlefield.

There is a hanging basket at the bottom of the large cloth bag. If someone is on it, with its height, you will definitely be able to see the situation of the Goguryeo military formation on the east side of the hills.
