Wugu City by Wugu River.

There are 100,000 soldiers under Wugu City.

Wugu River is a large tributary of Yalu River, which can slow cavalry speed. Wugu City, built by Wugu River, looks like a big dustpan. Through the low and flat dustpan bottom, Wugu City is on the mountain.

The flat pavement is raised.

Layered stone walls came to us. Wugu City had both inner walls and outer walls. There were two urns between the outer city and the inner city, which could each accommodate a thousand soldiers.

Yuwen Shu looked at the mountain city from afar, frowning.

This city is located in the southeastern transportation route in Liaodong, and the southwest connects to Baiyan City, and connects to the Yalu River Water Road in the east. It can directly connect to the Heshenggu City, the hinterland of Goguryeo, the upper reaches of the Yalu River, and other important places. It has a very important geographical location. At the same time, you can also reach the Yalu River along the river, and then cross the river to Pyongyang, the royal capital of Goguryeo.

Wugu City is therefore large in scale, with a circumference of sixteen miles, which is much larger than the domestic city of the former royal capital.

This city blocked the way Yuwen Shu's troops advanced.

The sun is smoked, the night is beacon.

The Goguryeo people are very careful and it is impossible to pass by quietly.

Wuchengkou has many observation decks, like a pair of eyes keeping their eyes around the mountain city.

"General, Wugushan City uses stone construction. The bottom is made of large stones. The stones have sharp angles, intersect and bite each other to build the center of the wall, and then insert them with the stones on both sides of the city wall. The wall stones are also wedge-shaped stones with neatly large heads and small tails. The end of the tail is intersected with the stones in the wall, and consolidate them together to form a whole stone wall.

When building the city walls, there is no need for mud grouting, and it is entirely based on the interweaving of stones to form tension. The stone walls of each part are integrated with the entire mountain. I cleverly use the ridge, the cliffs are used as the walls, rely on the mountain, and the walls are built in the recesses, and the mountain is surrounded by mountains, which is extremely strong."

"There are many horse faces outside the city wall, and there are large side angles on the outside of the bottom of the horse face, which not only strengthens the defense capabilities, but also makes the stone walls stronger."

Yuwen Shu snorted, "You said so much, aren't you just trying to say that Wugu City is extremely strong, easy to defend but difficult to attack?"

“It’s true.”

The general replied that the Wugu City was like a huge dustpan, which actually wrapped a huge valley in it. The city wall was built on the top of the hillside peaks around the valley, and the entrance of the valley also built a city gate and a urn city to guard the main traffic road. It can be said that one man is at the pass, and tens of thousands of men cannot open it.

"Are there any other roads around?" Yuwen Shu asked.

"There must be roads, but we have to go a long way. We have many soldiers and horses, and we carry a lot of baggage and many carriages. If we take a detour, we can only walk on the main road. In this way, we will probably have to go a few times more roads, and even if we take a detour, there will be many mountain cities on other roads."

Yuwen Shu frowned even tighter.

Such a city is not easy to attack.

It is extremely huge, but it is dangerous on all sides. Even if he has three soldiers and 100,000 troops, it cannot be expanded. Especially since the city wall is originally a rocky building, it is very strong, and it is also built on the hillside. In many places, cliffs and steep walls are borrowed directly, and it is difficult for siege equipment to advance to the city wall.

"This is simply a Great Wall."

Yuwen Shu scolded that this mountain city is indeed very similar to the Great Wall built in the north of the Central Plains. It is very dangerous to build between the mountains and ridges. The difference is that the mountain city of Goguryeo is not a continuous long section, but a circle of mountain cities.

But it's almost the same.

"How many defenders are there in Wugu City?"

Yuwen Shuwen.

"According to the reconnaissance, Wugu City City has 16 miles around, and usually tens of thousands of people are stationed. Now, when we are in the Great Sui Dynasty, all mountain cities have withdrawn their population and livestock into the city. Therefore, the population in Wugu City should be large, and the troops may increase. We expect that there may be 20,000 to 30,000 people."

One hundred thousand to two thousand to three thousand, there is a total advantage in quantity.

But as long as the mountain city is considered to be in danger, Yuwen Shu was not optimistic. He did not have much confidence in attacking Wugu City, which was guarded by 100,000 soldiers and 30,000 soldiers.

Especially now they are already four hundred miles away from the Liaohe River.

Along the way, Yuwen Shu led the left first army, the left second and left third army, and the three armies had a total of 100,000 troops. He went south and passed by the city. No one dared to intercept the Goguryeo people.

After going deeper throughout the journey, I was stuck at Wugu City, but now I was in a dilemma.

Wugu City is not as big as other mountain cities. First of all, it is large and strong, and it has a lot of troops. Another mountain city is not built on the top of a hillside, but it enclosed a valley, blocking their passage.

"How is the situation in Liaodong City? Did it be captured?" Yuwen Shu asked again.

An officer replied, "The five right and seven right right and seven right right and seventh army crossed the river. When the defenders of Liaodong City attacked halfway, our army fought bravely. General Mai Tiebang was killed in battle, General Qian Shixiongya was killed in battle, and nearly 20,000 soldiers were lost. Although he fought against the water, he also wiped out 20,000 enemies and rushed to the city of Liaodong. However, the Goguryeo people defended the Infant City and surrendered several times, and gained a chance to breathe. Although His Majesty no longer believed in Liaodong City, he ordered flying towers, ladders, rushing cars to attack the city, and the tunnels were moving forward day and night, but the Goguryeo people were very tenacious in resisting, and they still couldn't get rid of it for more than 20 days."

"Where are casualties?" Yuwen Shu asked again.

"It is said that the Goguryeo defenders in Liaodong City suffered nearly 20,000 casualties, while our army suffered twice the casualties."

Yuwen Shu didn't know how to speak now. The emperor personally directed the 80,000 people besieged Liaodong City. As a result, after more than 20 days of fighting, nearly half of them were killed or injured, and the Liaodong City was still not destroyed.

Silence for a while.

Yuwen Shu slowly spoke, "Tell the three armies to set up camps and set up camps and rest and standby."

The generals and schoolmen were puzzled.

"General, we are only a hundred miles away from the west bank of the Yalu River."

"I said wait."

"But, Your Majesty ordered us to join the army on the west bank of the Yalu River before the end of May, and cross the river and attack Pyongyang together."

"I said wait first."

Yuwen Shu still said coldly.

"What are the generals worried about?" asked one person.

Yuwen Shu snorted coldly, "The five right and seven right and seven right and seven right, the three armies crossed the river and attacked Liaodong City. It took nearly a month. It has lost 60,000 troops until now, but it has not captured Liaodong City. Do you know what this means?"

This means that the rear is unstable and cannot conquer the Liaodong city, so the seven armies will not be able to continue to advance to the heartland of Liaodong, and will not be able to provide them with reliable support.

"But Your Majesty has urgently dispatched the six troops of the Imperial Camp to cross the river. Now 200,000 of the Imperial Camps are crossing the river and are gathering under the Liaodong City. Liaodong City has resisted for many days, but there are also 40,000 casualties, and the city is at its end."

But Yuwen Shu didn't believe that the Liaodong city had reached the end of his life. He only saw that the Liaodong city had not yet fallen. The three Sui army in Liaodong city had actually lost two. Even if the six imperial camps crossed the river, they might not be able to capture it for a while.

Maybe he can conquer, but Yuwen Shu doesn't want to take the risk of attacking Wugu City at this time.
