"Dong, dong dong, dong dong dong~~~" The intensive and rapid sound of war drums echoed over the Xifeng Camp in Goguryeo. The soldiers woke up from their dreams and hurriedly put on their armor, helmets, and weapons toward the outside of the tent. Run. Kun
Although the soldiers in the camp are all elite divisions, they have not conducted night assault training, which does not mean that they can quickly form combat effectiveness just after waking up from a frightening dream. When the war drums of emergency assembly suddenly sounded, the soldiers fought in the dark night. The generals do not recognize the generals, the generals do not know the soldiers, and the command is not smooth and the orders are not followed, so the elite division is no different from a ragtag group of people in a short period of time.
The biggest difference between an elite division and a mob is that they will not collapse, run around randomly, and take a short time to regain their composure. They can quickly enter the fighting position and enter combat status under the guidance of orders.
The huge school grounds of the North Camp were filled with flames, and 20,000 light cavalry and 10,000 heavy cavalry had formed a neat array. These soldiers were all from the north, and they were quite distinct from the southern faction in the right camp. The general commanding this Goguryeo army was Li Yong.
The armies of the north and south of Goguryeo had their own characteristics. The north had a vast Liaodong Plain and had business contacts with Mohe in the "Songnen Plain", so the north had sufficient war horses, and the army was naturally dominated by offensive cavalry. To this day, they have more than 200,000 cavalry, which are well-trained and well-equipped. Therefore, looking at the world, the Goguryeo cavalry is also a terrifying existence. Due to the limitations of the terrain and the requirements of combat, the Southern Army naturally focused on infantry and navy. Although there were many cavalry, the number was smaller than that of infantry and navy.
With such a powerful army, if Goguryeo had not been limited by food and lack of famous generals; if it had not been held back by Silla, Baekje, Mohe, and Khitan from time to time, their territory would definitely not be what it is now.
Li Yong, who was wearing heavy armor, was riding on a war horse, holding a long sword in his hand. He was accompanied by five hundred soldiers of horse and horse. He summoned all his generals in front of him, looked around and said: "Everyone, everyone." As a descendant of the north, you should know how dangerous the situation is. The more than 100,000 troops led by Yang Ji are approaching fiercely, and their intention to destroy Goguryeo is obvious. Once the three major corners of Liaodong are lost, the Sui army will take advantage of the trend and go south to defeat the king and Lu Kun. In an isolated city, your parents, wives and children will also be trampled and tortured by the enemy."
"The Beida camp is blazing with red flames flying into the sky. It is obvious that the old thief Yu Wenshu broke the situation when he knew that the army was coming. Now, our brothers are in a bitter battle and our army is urgently needed to rescue them. Are you following? Should I go and make great achievements, or should I just ignore death?" Kun
"Make great contributions, make great contributions!" the generals shouted with determination on their faces. As Li Yong said, most of the generals here are from the northern faction. They know that once the three horns are lost, Gao Yuan and Yuan Ziyou in Liaodong City will face the enemy's front. If they are unfortunate enough to fall into the hands of the enemy, The day when Goguryeo will be destroyed is not far away.
Why do they serve as soldiers and fight?
In addition to the purpose of being promoted to an official position, there is also a sense of mission to protect the homeland and the country. If they allow Yuwenshu's meager troops to capture the Peking Camp and massacre the northern army brothers, how will they face their fellow villagers in the future?
Li Yong's younger brother Li Cheng stood in the crowd, looked at his brother with admiration, and shouted: "We, the sons of the north, should fight to the death to kill the enemy, defend the country, and protect our hometown even if we die!"
"We, the sons of the north, should fight to the death to kill the enemy, defend the country, and protect our hometown even if we die!"
"We, the sons of the north, should fight to the death to kill the enemy, defend the country, and protect our hometown even if we die!"
"..." Kun
Everyone agreed, and Li Cheng's words touched their hearts. Their ancestors in the north fought hard on the battlefield, and they were not as cowardly as the delicate "old soldiers" in the south.
Li Yong was very pleased to see that his morale was ready. Just when he was about to speak, several cavalrymen rushed to the school grounds. One of them jumped off the horse with great skill without waiting for the horse to stop. He quickly came to In front of Li Yong, he said quickly: "General, the Sui army is attacking like a tide. General, please rescue us quickly!"
The front of the school grounds suddenly fell silent, and the generals looked at the leader, Li Yong, with anxious eyes.
"Brothers from Beiying are waiting for me to support us. Without further ado, the whole army will go out immediately!" Li said.
Yong knew that this battle was fought with a weak enemy and a strong one, just like in the 19th year of Emperor Kai Huang's reign. If the Sui army's advance could be delayed until the grass and trees were withering and the ice and snow were falling, the offensive and defensive situation would be reversed, and the reality of the road being filled with silt might become a reality for the Sui Dynasty. The place where the army was buried in the sand.
It's just that the current northern confrontation line is too long. Except for a few confrontation points, there is no danger around Goguryeo. Now it can rely on the three horns to resist for a while, but if the Sui Dynasty's army continues to come to help and reverse the advantage in strength, then They are in danger. Therefore, the top priority is to hold the Beida camp, and use the lives of Yuwenshu's army to frustrate the Sui army's vigor and boost the morale of our own officers and soldiers.
In a war between a weak country and a strong country, the balance of military strength is important, but the morale of the military is even more important. If we can achieve victory after arriving at Beida Camp and capture Chengzishan Camp, the Sui army's military base in the Liaodong Plain, it will be of great benefit to the morale of the army.
With the morale of the army inspired, the morale of the army as strong as a rainbow, and the absolutely superior strength of the troops, it is bound to be just around the corner to sweep through the three major corners of Mozhou and reach Liaodong. Kun
"Yes!" After the generals returned to their headquarters, the army immediately set off.
Thirty thousand horse soldiers divided into three groups and left the camp in a mighty manner. The soldiers held torches and stretched towards the north camp like a long dragon.
. . . . . . .
When Song Zun arrived, the 30,000 Northern troops had already marched away; instead of being able to stop Li Yong's follow-up troops, he was ridiculed.
Song Zun ignored the cynicism of the Northern Army soldiers. After all, the war of words between the two sides in the South had not lasted for more than a day or two. Fortunately, although Li Yong had become more and more aggressive recently, he had never been able to deal with the Sui army. After holding back, Songzun had enough time and energy to focus on actual affairs. Songzun, who had already made some determination at this time, had no intention of paying attention to the ridicule of the Northern Army.
Return to the Chinese army's tent and gather the generals to discuss matters.
The atmosphere in the entire tent seemed very depressing at this time. First, the sudden attack of the Sui army made the generals very nervous. Second, Li Yong was too arrogant. He acted without authorization and did not put the commander in mind at all. In eyes. Kun
Song Zun's deputy general Eulji Mundeok looked very gloomy. He was Ulji Mundeok's younger brother and had no good impression of the general of the Yuon clan who killed his brother. He said to Songzun who was looking thoughtful: "General, Ye Yong is really too great." Too much!"
"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter!" Songzun waved his hand to interrupt Eulji Takeok. He knew very well that the differences between the North and the South were issues left over from history and could not be solved overnight. If he was as stubborn as Yeyong, he would eventually The result was that the Sui Dynasty was advantaged in vain, so he tolerated it again and again.
Looking at the aggrieved generals, he said slowly: "Your Majesty and your Majesty Lu have decided to annihilate Yang Ji's army, but now there is a great opportunity."
Eulji Taketoku was stunned for a moment, and then asked quickly: "General, I wonder what a good opportunity this is?"
"The enemy obviously used the northern camp as bait to lure our army to attack. General Li followed the Sui army's wish and led an army of 30,000 to attack. The strength was beyond the Sui army's expectations." Song Zun said solemnly: "The Sui army At this moment, the eyes must be focused on the Northern Army led by General Li, and the Chengzishan camp must be empty of troops at this time. Therefore, I decided to lead the army to the north and attack the enemy directly."
"This can not only shake the Sui army's morale, relieve the pressure on General Li, and create opportunities for him to win; but our army can also capture the enemy camp and cut off one of the enemy's three major horns. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
At the end of the sentence, Song Zun's originally calm and calm face showed a hint of excitement. This time he was able to trap the Sui army into a trap. In addition to the sudden battle and Li Yong's hasty march, it was also the reason why he was able to trap the Sui army in these years. It was caused by constantly showing weakness to the Sui army. Kun
"There is no room for failure in this battle. I will personally lead the army out. You will be in charge of the main camp." Songzun stood up, with an indescribable sense of heroism in his whole body, which gave Eulji Takeru a sense of pride. It was an illusion, as if the coach in front of him was not the gentle and gentle general in the past, but a powerful general who commanded thousands of troops and roamed the battlefield.
This feeling was seen in his brother Eulji Mundeok in the past, but despite this, Eulji Mundeok was still a little worried. He stood up, bowed his hands, and took the initiative to say: "The general is the commander-in-chief of our army. He is the leader of the army and the people." The safety of the northern defense line depends on the general, how can the general personally
In danger? This battle is about to be commanded by the last general. "
The situation of the Eulji family has been deteriorating since the mysterious death of Eulji Mundeok. He decided to fight this uncertain battle for the country and his family.
If you die on the battlefield, you can gain the reputation of sacrificing your life for the country and being shrouded in horse leather, and your family will gain glory and the favor of the king. If he succeeds in the battle, he will inherit his brother's reputation, be reused by the king, and successfully enter the center of Goguryeo.
"No!" Song Zun shook his head, with a firm look in his eyes, and said in an irresistible tone: "I must lead the army in this battle! Firstly, this battle is of great importance and cannot be lost; secondly, The glory of our southern army is only because the northern army has looked down on us for a long time. If I, the commander, avoid fighting, even if they win in the end, they will still have something to say."
"Be careful, general. I congratulate the general on his triumphant return." Eulji Taketoku sighed after hearing this. Just as Songzun said, the north and the south have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time. The commander led his troops to fight this time, and there was no other way. If the Northern Army achieves results while the Southern Army does nothing, their future situation will be even more embarrassing, and it may even shake the prestige and majesty of King Gao Yuan.
"Yes!" Song Zun responded and ordered: "The war has started, and the south camp may have moved north. After I leave, you order five thousand generals to come and defend the main camp, and the remaining five thousand generals will hold on to the south camp. kun
"Yes!" Eulji Taketoku responded solemnly.
Songzun stopped talking nonsense and strode outside the tent.
