The Sui army stationed in Liaodong City was originally the Hejian County Government Army, with a force of more than 3,300. They have been stationed here since last year's Second Goguryeo War. Because the terrain of Liaodong City is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and its strategic position is extremely important. Emperor Yang Guang of Sui also attaches great importance to this city and strictly orders the Sui army to defend Liaodong City to the death.

At this time, above the tall and dangerous city of Liaodong City, Yingyang Lang general Qiu Mingda stood in front of the battlements and stared at the south. He had just received help from Wuyong Lang general Zhang Xuan, asking him to support the attack on the Goguryeo sentry hiding near Shenlu Town.

But Qiu Mingda still rejected Zhang Xuan's request for help. In fact, Qiu Mingda didn't know that there was a Goguryeo army hidden nearby. He had long discovered the existence of this Goguryeo army, but the goal of this Goguryeo army was not the Liaodong city. Their activities had no effect on Liaodong city, so Qiu Mingda turned a blind eye.

But now another Sui army has also discovered the existence of this Goguryeo army and decided to annihilate the army. Qiu Mingda was very worried that the news would spread to Huaiyuan Town. He would be guilty of not reporting it. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Are the general worried about what happened just now?" Deputy General Yang Weiyuan walked to him and asked with a smile.

Qiu Mingda nodded, and said in a very dissatisfied tone: "This Zhang Xuan has only one thousand people, but he wants to challenge the elite enemy with 3,000 people. I am afraid that he will put the blame on me after his defeat. He said that if I don't save him, it will lead to his defeat. It is difficult to explain to the above!"

"I have also considered it. If we have no movement at all, it is really difficult to explain to the superiors. The meaning of the emperor is that it is better to let the thorns save them, which can both throw away the burden and explain to the superiors. Wouldn't it be a killing two birds with one stone, the general thinks?"

Deputy General Yang Weiyuan's words immediately reminded Qiu Mingda, why did he forget that person?

In the city of Liaodong, in addition to the military mansion led by Qiu Mingda, there is also a special army with a population of only more than fifty, led by a lieutenant.

This lieutenant was named Shen Guang. He was originally a very famous ranger in Wujun, Jiangnan. During the First Goguryeo War, Shen Guang led more than 50 Jiangnan tournaments to Liaodong to participate in the war.

At that time, tens of thousands of Sui troops besieged Liaodong City. It was Shen Guang who used his superb light body technique and led a group of rangers to attack Liaodong City first. He was personally named Lang General by Emperor Yang Guang of Sui and was a sanshen doctor.

However, in the subsequent war to attack Pyongyang, Shen Guang made a mistake in crossing the river, which caused the failure of the Sui army on the southern route and was demoted to the lieutenant by Yuwen Shu. In this battle to crossing the river, Shen Guang was seriously injured and did not retreat with the Sui army, but stayed in Liaodong City to recuperate.

In the following two years, the Sui army reorganized several times, and Shen Guang and his companions were gradually forgotten by the Ministry of War. The Liaodong City also appointed a new chief general, and Shen Guang lived in the city.

Because of his straightforward personality and frank speech, he offended Qiu Mingda and regarded him as a dissident and always wanted to find a reason to drive him away. Today, Qiu Mingda finally found a reason.

"The general wants me to go to Shenlu Town now?"

Shen Guang was surprised. He looked at the night outside the window. Before the two updates arrived, how could he support another Sui army?

Qiu Mingda said calmly: "The hiding place of the Goguryeo army should be in Lugu. The goal is very clear, and they will attack there tonight. I am worried that they will lose, so I hope that Captain Shen can help them."

"General Qiu is going to take the opportunity to drive me away!" Chen Guang said coldly.

"How can I say this? When will I drive you away? Because I have no orders and cannot attack, I asked you to help them. If you don't go, just forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Chen Guang lowered his head and thought about it. He wanted to take advantage of the third attack on Goguryeo to leave Liaodong City. Since Qiu Mingda wanted to drive him away, it would be fine, just leave!"

"Thank you General Qiu for his care over the past two years. We will have a date later!"

He bowed his hand, turned around and strode away. Qiu Mingda looked at his back disappearing into the night, and couldn't help but laugh proudly, finally throwing the thorn away. He immediately ordered: "Open the city gate and let Captain Chen and his men leave!"

...........

The third update has passed, and Chen Xu led fifty subordinates to run quickly in the forest along the ridge. They have a heavy task and must enter the valley before dawn and ignite the enemy's tents.

This is undoubtedly a huge problem for Chen Xu, who has no experience in sneak attacks, but Chen Xu is also an extremely strong person. Since he has agreed to the main general, he must do it.

Chen Xu gritted his teeth and led his men to run silently in the forest. They were not many, and the forest was full of towering trees, so they did not alarm the birds hanging on the trees.

After running for about half an hour, a soldier pointed to the front and shouted, "Capital, we are here!"

Everyone stopped and finally arrived at the back of the valley, but the scene in front of them shocked everyone. There was a cliff hundreds of feet high on the back of the valley. Not to mention that they did not have such a long rope, even if there were ropes, it would be difficult for them to climb down.

Only then did Chen Xu understand why he didn't encounter enemy troops surveillance along the way, because there was no need to keep watch here, and even monkeys could not climb down, let alone humans.

"Captain, what should I do?" The soldiers all looked at Chen Xu.

Chen Xu was anxious and hated. He had just been promoted to lieutenant and encountered a huge problem. He squatted on the ground with his head in his arms. The task could not be completed. How could he explain to the general?

Just then, a burst of laughter came from the forest not far away, "You are not familiar with the terrain at all, and you actually want to attack from behind?"

Everyone was shocked and pulled out their battle swords one after another. Chen Xu also jumped up, stared at his red eyes and asked, "Who is it?"

I saw dozens of people walking out of the forest, about the same number as them, all wearing Sui army armor. The leader was a young man of twenty-five or six years old, with a medium figure and a very pretty appearance.

Chen Xu drew his knife and shouted, "Stop!"

The leading man raised his hand and smiled: "We are not Goguryeo, we are sinking lights. We are the captain of the Sui Army in Liaodong City. We are here to support you at the order of the chief general. This is my fish card!"

Chen Guang threw his fish card to Chen Xu. Chen Xu took it and looked at it. He still couldn't believe how many troops the Sui army had died in Goguryeo and lost countless supplies. The other party could easily dress up as the Sui army.

Chen Guang saw the other party's suspicion and couldn't help but sigh and said, "If I were a Goguryeo, I would have ambushed you a long time ago. Do you still have to say so much nonsense?"

This made sense, Chen Xu finally believed it. He clasped his fists and said, "I am under Chen Xu, who is affiliated with the 16th Battalion of the Front Army. May I ask Captain Chen, what did you mean just now? Can you go down by familiarizing yourself with the terrain?"

Chen Guang smiled and said, "I have been in Liaodong City for nearly three years. Every mountain, water, grass and tree here is all familiar with. You can indeed go down from behind the valley, but not here. There is a rock crack two miles forward. You can see it as a cave. Please come with me!"

Chen Guang led his men to the west, and everyone looked at Chen Xu. Chen Xu hesitated for a moment. It was not a question of whether he believed it or not. It was already the fourth update, and it would be too late to go down the valley. Even if there was a sea of ​​fire in front of him, he had to jump. Chen Xu gritted his teeth and ordered: "Follow up!"

Under the leadership of Chen Xu, fifty subordinates ran westward with the sunlight ahead.

...........

As Chen Guang said, a mountain crack did appear two miles ahead, which was covered by lush bushes, and Chen Guang and his hands pulled open the shrubs. A dark rock crack led to the valley.

Chen Guang turned around and said to Chen Xu in a deep voice: "I have something to say first. I am here to help you annihilate this enemy army. First of all, we must become one, and hope you can obey my orders. I want you to stop and leave. We must absolutely obey my command. Otherwise, not only will the mission not be completed tonight, but our lives will be lost here!"

"Captain Shen knows my mission?"

"Of course I don't know, but I can guess that you are going to attack the Goguryeo from behind, causing chaos, and then the main force attacks from the valley entrance. I'm not wrong!"

Chen Xu nodded, clasped his fists and bowed: "As long as the task can be completed, my subordinates and I will definitely obey Captain Chen's orders!"

"Okay! Let's go down."

Shen Guang carried a large roll of rope and quickly climbed down the crack. The rocks in the cracks were abrupt, and there were many places to support and stand on their feet. It was much easier to climb than cliffs. Sui soldiers climbed down into the valley one after another.

...........

The valley where the Goguryeo army hid is called Huilu Valley. It is about ten miles deep and two to three miles wide. The entrance of the valley is very small, only more than twenty feet long. It is an excellent Tibetan army place.

The valley is lush with forests, and there is an open land of several miles in the middle of the forest. At this time, hundreds of large tents were stationed in the open land, and more than 2,000 Goguryeo soldiers were hiding here.

The main general of this Goguryeo branch is Yuan Wuning. He was born in the most powerful family of Goguryeo. His father, Yuan Taizuo, was Molizhi of Goguryeo, and was equivalent to the regent, and he was in charge of the military and political affairs of Goguryeo.

Yuan Wuning ranked third in his home, and was very skilled in martial arts. He used a big sword weighing 50 kilograms. Two months ago, he was ordered to lead his army to sneak into the Liaoshui River to collect intelligence and harasse the Sui army's logistics transportation.

Over the past two months, Yuan Wuning and his army have achieved great success. Not only have they collected a large amount of Sui army intelligence, but they also burned countless Sui army ration trucks. At least thousands of people who died in their hands have died.

It was already five o'clock, and the light in a large tent was on. Yuan Wuning was sitting at the table and wrote a piece of information he had just obtained. The Emperor of Sui had appointed Lai Hu'er as the general of the former army and was preparing to lead tens of thousands of people to attack Pyongyang.

This is an extremely important information. At present, the Sui army has assembled hundreds of thousands of troops in the Liaodong area. The army is disordered and disorderly, giving people the feeling that it will take at least several months to attack Goguryeo. But now it seems that the chaos in Liaodong is just an illusion, and it is to cover up the sneak attack of the Laihu'er army.

Yuan Wuning was really uneasy. He sent people to send back a lot of information, which was all the chaos of the Sui army, with low morale and low combat effectiveness. If all this was an illusion, then he would be the sinner of Goguryeo.

So Yuan Wuning didn't fall asleep all night and got up before dawn to copy the information. At this time, a sudden sound of running outside suddenly came from outside, and someone faintly shouted: "If you have important information, please inform the general for me."

Yuan Wuning put down his pen, walked out of the big tent quickly, and asked, "What's the matter?"

A centurion who sentry came forward to report: "Report to the general, one of our sentry missed a lawsuit in the Bailang River area and was caught by the Sui army."

"What?"

Yuan Wuning was surprised. This was the first time his ward was caught by the enemy. If so, it would mean that their hiding place was no longer safe.

He immediately ordered: "Send sentry to patrol outside the valley, report to me immediately if you find any abnormalities!"

"Abide by the order!"

The centurion ran away, Yuan Wuning turned around and returned to the big tent, spread a map on the table, and began to find a new hiding place. For a moment, he didn't even bother to send the latest information to Pyongyang.
