Chapter 380 Unprovoked jealousy
The war horses roared, and the cavalry rushed into the river beach camp in Goguryeo, gaining an advantage over the infantry with cavalry, and quickly defeating the defense in Goguryeo camp.
The guards on the top of the city now had their camp attacked and were unable to organize an effective counterattack. They were submerged by the Sui army attacking on the river beach. The mile-long castle city climbed up to hundreds of Sui army and quickly seized the high ground.
Some deer barriers were clear, the city gates of the fortress defense were opened, the Sui army entered one after another, and tens of thousands of people rushed in, besieging the Goguryeo army.
This time, more than 20,000 Goguryeo Army was dispersed and divided into several teams, surrounded and killed.
"Puff puff puff--"
There were sword lights everywhere, blood everywhere, the earthen castle defense lines and temporary camps made of sand, gravel and wood were like purgatory. Many soldiers fell down, gurgling blood, dyeing the river beach red.
"Ah--" A Sui army soldier was red in his eyes, had been stabbed several times, and he rushed towards one of the Goguryeo soldiers desperately.
There were also soldiers of Sui army who were shot in an arrow behind their backs, but they were indifferent. They held a horizontal knife in their hands and pierced the chest of the Goguryeo soldiers opposite. The tip of the knife was lifted, and the belly was broken, and blood was sprinkled all over the floor.
The battle was fierce, and the Sui army gained the upper hand. Xue Shixiong led his troops to overwhelm it, and it flooded the Goguryeo army on the river beach like a tide.
An hour later, the sound of fighting had subsided, and the corpses and blood flowed into the Liao River.
The river beach pass was stolen. It was a brilliant paved with blood and life. How cruel!
However, this time it was much easier than last year's river beach battle. It took only half a day to break through, sweeping and breaking, and there was no heavy price.
After statistics, the casualties were less than 20,000, which was almost the same as the number of annihilated enemies.
You know, last year, Emperor Yang of Sui personally fought and killed seven or eight Sui soldiers on the river beach, which was a terrible sight.
This is related to Luo Zhaoyun's well-trained training and had already done military cooperation and drills. At the same time, the military is better, the fighting style is flexible and changeable, the soldiers are never tired of cheating, and the surprise, etc. It is not like Emperor Yang of Sui, who is arrogant and despised the Goguryeo Army. His fighting style is rigid and unwilling to use surprise soldiers, which leads to huge casualties.
The victory was heard back, and all the Sui army on the south bank of the Liaoshui River cheered. Because this victory increased morale and once again proved the courage of Luo Cheng leading the army. All the soldiers felt the glory of becoming the Luo family army, invincible and invincible.
"Send orders to clear the battlefield, remove obstacles, and pay close attention to the movements in Liaodong City!"
"Abide by the order!"
"General Xue, please lead the army and push it to the city of Liaodong, put pressure on Goguryeo, beware of the defenders in the city, and sneak attack our camp!"
"I understand." Xue Shixiong is a veteran, quite famous, and his sons are all Tiger Generals.
At dusk that day, Xue Shixiong led his troops to the Liaodong city. The troops were at the city and restrained the defenders in the city and confronted each other, making the Goguryeo army dare not go on an unauthorized manner.
………
Emperor Yang of Sui received good news on his way north. Luo Cheng led his troops to advance. Over the past few days, he pushed the counties in western Liaoning. There were urgent news at night, and he had seized the river beach and pointed directly at the city of Liaodong.
"This Luo Cheng only took a few days to reach Liaodong City. He is indeed a lucky general of the Great Sui Dynasty!" Emperor Yang of Sui smiled slightly, and was quite satisfied with his ability to command troops and his quick news.
At this time, Yuwen Shu's eyes turned and bowed, "Your Majesty, I have a few words from the old minister, I don't know whether to say it or not."
Emperor Yang of Sui glanced at him and said, "There are no outsiders in the tent. What do you mean by Yuwen Qing's family, but it's okay to say it."
Yuwen Shu flattered: "I think Luo Cheng is unstoppable, so it is a good thing, but... Last year, His Majesty led the army in person, and all the troops arrived, but he fought hard in the Liaoshui River, and suffered huge losses. He fought in Liaodong City for many days. As we all know, now Luo Cheng easily captured the river beach and besieged Liaodong City. I am worried that if he easily captured Liaodong City, I am afraid that some gossip will spread to the world, thinking that Luo Cheng, the only one in the Sui Dynasty, will lead the army to fight, and the other generals are just like idiots."
When Emperor Yang of Sui heard this, his face darkened and he felt somewhat embarrassed. Last year, he was the emperor in charge of the army, but he suffered heavy losses and suffered repeated setbacks. Finally, he returned home with great defeat. If Luo Cheng had not cut off the rear, he might have lost 100,000 or 200,000 troops.
This was a thorn in his heart. He wanted to win back all his face this time and conquer Goguryeo. When Yuwen Shu said this, he felt more scruples and displeasure in his heart.
Yuwen Shu said: "Your Majesty, Luo Cheng destroyed Tuyuhun, and the limelight is in full swing. If Your Majesty and the generals did not arrive in Liaodong this time, Luo Cheng led his troops to conquer Liaodong City and pushed the army directly to Pyongyang, then everyone in the world would probably be rumored that it was Luo Cheng destroyed Goguryeo, and it had nothing to do with us. Little did he know that his march was able to make such a smooth progress this time because of his combat experience last year. If someone else had succeeded, he would have succeeded, but he had gained great benefits!"
Emperor Yang of Sui had been persuaded. He did not want Luo Cheng to make great achievements again and take away the halo of his commander-in-chief. Otherwise, there would be no point in his own northern expedition.
Such great undertakings can be completed by yourself and will be more perfect.
After pondering for a moment, Emperor Yang of Sui looked a little cold and said to Su Wei: "I will order Luo Cheng to stop his troops outside Liaodong City and not to attack Liaodong City. After I come in person, I will take military action. Otherwise, I will be dealt with by disobeying military orders."
Su Wei was inconvenient to speak more and bowed and said, "I obey the order."
Yuwen Shu bowed and retreated, snorting in his heart, Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng, do you still want to make great achievements in military achievements? It’s not that easy. (To be continued.)
