Goguryeo camp.
All Goguryeo soldiers totaled about 42,000. With the valley as the center, they set up camps scattered in nearby valleys and hills.
A huge military camp cluster formed.
Chinese army camp. Inside the big tent.
Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng stood at both ends of the desk, looking down at the topographic map on the desk.
They had already made preparations to withdraw their troops and conveyed the order downwards. Now they were just taking a look and thinking about whether there was anything they had missed.
Guangyang Prefecture is separated from Goguryeo by the Yalu River. Along the road, they can go straight to the Yalu River in Goguryeo. Crossing the river won't be much of a problem.
Although there is news now that Wu Nian's navy is gathering. But Goguryeo's navy was also very powerful and could protect them from successfully crossing the river.
The problem is here on land. Although it only takes a few days to get back to the Yalu River from here. But there are many mountains and criss-crossing paths along the way.
Wu Nian can harass them, attack them, and eat them.
This journey must be full of obstacles.
They have already allocated soldiers. Some are forwards, some are flankers, some are in the back, and some are in the middle.
Those in the middle have worse combat effectiveness. They guarded the food and baggage and walked along the road.
The forwards, flanks, and rear are all powerful soldiers who serve as guards. Follow the path.
Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng are both very responsible. As the commander-in-chief, Li Yunchong personally led the elite troops to cut off the rear. Zhao Mancheng led elite troops to protect the right wing.
Wu Nian's army is in the south.
When the formation of Goguryeo's withdrawal troops was arranged, the south was the right wing.
Bear the brunt.
"We have done everything we can, and the next step is to see how the battle unfolds." Li Yunchong lowered his head and looked for a long time, but found no flaws and shook his head gently. Then he got excited and said: "According to the report from Tanma, Wu Nian sent three captains to command 30,000 elite soldiers northward to intercept the Mongolian people. This took away a lot of pressure from us."
"At least we won't be wiped out."
Seeing that Li Yunchong was lax, Zhao Mancheng immediately persuaded him: "General, although Wu Nian has a small number of troops, we can't underestimate him. He started with three hundred elite soldiers and fought against ten thousand households in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty."
"Now his reputation is at its peak, and the Han people believe in him. The people in the villages and towns along the way are his spies, ears, eyes, hands and feet. If we don't face him with the fear of annihilation, we might really The entire army will be wiped out."
Li Yunchong was stern when he heard the words, and his pressure suddenly increased and he did not dare to relax. He immediately lowered his face and clasped his fists to apologize: "General Zhao is right. I was careless."
"General, your words are serious." Zhao Mancheng shook his head and returned the salute with clasped fists.
Generals respect each other and are of the same mind.
go back.
We want to return to Goguryeo safely.
Not long after. Zhao Mancheng, who found nothing missing, left the Chinese army tent and went down to prepare.
.............
Wu Nian didn't know that the Meng Yuan people had already started running away. He did everything he had to do. If the Meng Yuan people still massacre the city, they will be beyond their reach.
There is no use in mourning. I will slaughter Mengyuan the next day and avenge the people of these three cities.
His thoughts were completely focused on the Goguryeo soldiers.
He wanted to annex and rule Goguryeo. this is a good chance. These 42,000 elite soldiers were left behind, as well as Li Yunchong's head.
It can immediately shake the land of Goguryeo. The Queen Mother's family may be torn into pieces.
No matter what happens, the number of Goguryeo soldiers must be reduced to pave the way for subsequent annexation.
There is only one way back, and everyone knows how to fight.
Yangwucheng.
County government office, in the study room in the front yard.
Wu Nian, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, and the newly arrived Tieniu each took their own place, gathered around the desk, and looked at the map.
"If I were Li Yunchong, I would definitely protect the troops with poor combat effectiveness in the middle as a convoy team to escort grain, grass and baggage. And disperse the strongest troops around the central army as guards."
"Fight the battle, transport the food."
"The spies will spread out widely to avoid being ambushed."
"And the strongest ones should be the troops at the rear. So we don't attack their butts. We attack their front, left and right armies."
"As for the other party's spies."
Having said this, Wu Nian raised his head and looked at the three brothers and sneered: "Now. Guangyang Mansion is the territory of our Han people. The villages and towns along the way are our spies and spies."
"We sent people to villages and towns, told the people to help us observe, and taught them how to deliver the news. We killed as many spies as the Goguryeo people sent out. We beat them into deafness and blindness."
"Next. I assign tasks. Zhang Sheng and I attack the right wing of the Goguryeo army from south to north. Tieniu, you attack the Goguryeo army's forward, Wang Gui, from east to west. You lead your elite troops and detour to the north to attack the Goguryeo army's forward. Left wing.”
"The terrain of the mountain road is complicated, and a large-scale decisive battle is impossible. Don't think about winning in one battle. Let's attack them a few more times. If we have the chance, we will destroy them. If we don't have the chance, we will eat at least 10,000 or 20,000 people."
"You're welcome. Just open your mouth wide and devour it."
"Military success beckons to you."
After finishing speaking, Wu Nian's brows were full of determination, and he looked at the three people with eyes full of encouragement.
"Very good. This time I am sitting behind Jiang County and haven't been able to go to the battlefield for a long time. The sword is already hungry and thirsty. My soldiers are also ready to move. I promise to tear off a big piece of fat."
Tieniu raised his head, rolled up his sleeves, and rubbed his hands.
"Eat their army and fight across the Yalu River." Zhang Sheng sneered, his waist and abdomen straightened, and his whole body exuded fierce murderous aura.
"I will lead the troops alone and attack their left flank?" Wang Gui pinched his chin, his face a little solemn.
He is very self-aware.
He has no force value, and of course he does not have the ability to charge into battle. He can only rely on the strong soldiers under his tent, and must be careful to avoid capsizing in the gutter.
Aggression is like fire.
War is like a bird eating a worm. The early bird gets the worm. After Wu Nian finally arranged the combat mission, Zhang Sheng, Wang Gui, and Tieniu immediately went down to prepare.
Playing at home has another advantage.
They don't need to bring too much food, as long as they bring enough baggage and travel light. The march was fast.
If there is no food, you can always say hello. I believe that the people will enthusiastically "eat the pulp from the pot and reward Master Wang".
After the three people left, Wu Nian stayed alone in the study and continued to look at the topographic map to see if there was any missing place. He looked carefully and did not dare to be careless at all.
After feeling that everything was safe, Wu Nian strode to the bedroom.
Recharge your batteries.
Waiting for meat.
