The army continued to climb 6, cleared the river surface, pushed open the huge rocks, filled the horse pit, and slowly got closer to the five-tooth warship behind it. It arrived on the river beach. Tens of thousands of soldiers were on the shore at one time. Until late at night, more than 200,000 to 300,000 troops had been transported.

As the vanguard, the Five Route Army set up camps in front, arranged defense lines to guard against the Goguryeo Army's sneak attack.

Emperor Yang of Sui and the civil and military ministers did not cross the river and rested on the south bank of the Liao River. After all, the other side was full of uneasiness. Ambushings and sneak attacks could occur at any time in the territory of Goguryeo.

Today's war caused great casualties to the Sui army. They were originally arrogant and felt that they could easily sweep away the ministers and generals of the small country, and their confidence was a little shaken.

This is just the first battle, and it pays such a huge price.

At night, Luo Zhaoyun came out to walk around. Seeing the moonlight was thick and the autumn air was clear, he was a little worried. Goguryeo was indeed a difficult bone to crack. When fighting with it, he would never lead the army in person. Instead, he should send some scouts to disturb it, disintegrate from the inside, and then send surprise troops to attack. He dared not advance like this, and the casualties were too great.

He had seen the map here. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were few people outside the pass and the trees had not been destroyed yet, so most areas were densely packed with forests and few people lived. From here to Pyongyang, there were not many main roads, and there were only two main roads, but both had dangerous terrain to block the pass.

There are four barriers of Liaoshui, Yalushui, Sashui and Wushui, and the terrain is constantly deep. If the Sui army breaks through the barriers and attacks step by step, there will be cities along the way. Once the troops are spread out, and the difficulty of transporting food and grass, the millions of troops will collapse overnight.

Yang Guang's conquest of Goguryeo and Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty conquest of Bohai Kingdom were both failed and had complex similarities.

"This Goguryeo is the threat behind my Youzhou. It would be best if it can be severely damaged. It can relieve the troubles of my Luo Family Base Camp in the future."

Luo Zhaoyun took all the battle today. This time, he did not take charge, but just accompanied the Imperial Guard general beside the king to protect Yang Guang's safety. The front line had nothing to do with him, he was just a spectator, but Luo Zhaoyun was still very new. Perhaps in the future, there would be similar hard battles between himself and Goguryeo. How can you know yourself and the enemy to reduce casualties?

"Are the descendants of Lanling King Gao Changgong in Liaodong?" He vaguely suspected that some descendants of Northern Qi were dormant in western Liaoning and Liaodong areas.

Luo Zhaoyun thought in his mind that it would be how to spread the business to Goguryeo in the future, and the scouts disperse and inquire about information, which would play a huge role at critical moments.

………

Early the next morning, Emperor Yang of Sui could not wait to bring people across the river and came to the camp on the north bank, commanding the generals of the army to continue attacking and besieging Liaodong City.

This Liaodong city is the largest city outside the pass, comparable to Pyongyang City. It has been operating here since the Han Dynasty. Over the past few years, it has been continuously expanded. After changing the city lords several times, they fell into the hands of Goguryeo after the Northern Qi Dynasty.

When Emperor Wen of Sui was reigned, he sent troops to attack and wanted to retake Liaodong, but the 300,000 army suffered a huge loss and ended up leaving it alone.

"Tomorrow, the city will be besieged, and two armies will be dispatched on one wall. In this way, the eight men will take turns to attack. Within three days, you must defeat the city!" Yang Guang issued an order in front of many military generals and placed the deadline.

"Get the order!" Yu Zhongwen, Mai Tiezhang, Zhao Cai, Xin Shixiong and others took over the emperor's order and continued to fight fiercely.

Yang Guang glanced at Luo Zhaoyun again and asked, "Luo Cheng, have all the siege equipment been transported here?"

"Report to Your Majesty, one-third of the equipment has been transported to conquer Liaodong City, which is enough!"

"That's good!" Emperor Yang of Sui nodded, without mentioning it. He waved his hand and asked the generals to return to the camp, take their own positions, and prepare for tomorrow's siege.

Luo Zhaoyun wanted to speak but stopped, so he didn't say much. He would wait for the battle to attack Liaodong City to see what the situation was going on later, and to define whether to give advice to Emperor Yang of Sui.

………

The preparations of the day passed quickly, and Liaodong City had been surrounded by the Sui army.

The flags floated, the iron armor turned cold, the weapons showed their sharp edges, the bow and arrow formation, spear formation, knife and axe, shield, etc. were arranged in an orderly manner. Each city used two armies, more than 60,000 to 70,000 troops, and the soldiers were majestic.

Two days ago, the five armies were injured and were removed from other auxiliary troops and filled the number of casualties.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

The war drum became short of energy and the horn of the attack came out.

Suddenly, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the Sui army began to push various siege equipment to the city.

The rushing car, building car, ladder, etc. approached the city wall under the control of the Sui army soldiers.

At this moment, Goguryeo soldiers on the top of the city were shooting arrows down, rolling stones and wood, boiling water and wolf smoke pouring downwards.

This was a tragic battlefield. The Sui army charged forward, and the Goguryeo soldiers fought to the death, with dead bodies lying on pools of blood everywhere and would never get up again.

More than 100,000 people were sieging the city, with no boundaries. It seemed that there was a huge momentum of throwing whips and raising hands like clouds.

"Swish swish swish!"

The rows of clustered crossbow arrows under the city shot hard at the city head as if they were spending money, trying to suppress the counterattack at the city head.

In this violent attack like a storm, the Sui army had more than a hundred stone throwers, smashing stone bullets weighing more than one hundred kilograms at the head of the city. When each huge rock fell, there was a rumbling sound. Some soldiers were smashed to their heads and the city was damaged. The siege between the two sides started. (To be continued.)
