In the early morning, a thin layer of morning mist enveloped the Liaodong Plain. The gauze-like mist flowed over the plain. The scenery north of the Xiaokou River also became looming in the morning mist. Two golden withers hovered high in the sky. , scanning the earth with their sharp eyes. As they flew across the plain, a river of cold steel rolled and flowed on the ground, making the roar of gold and iron and the thunderous sound of horse hooves!
It was a torrent of steel composed of soldiers, with cavalry rolling and spears like forests. There was an endless stream of troops coming from the north. At this moment, another group of people and horses passed by, a total of 15,000 cavalry. These people and horses With their armor and shining swords and spears, their momentum is somewhat superior to that of other armies.
Behind the heavy cavalry are teams of light cavalry composed of rangers. All of them are tall and powerful. The horses under their crotches are extremely handsome, and they only have rings hanging around their necks. With swords, shields, and quivers filled with arrows, they leisurely guarded a battle flag with the word "pine" and followed the army northward.
Under the flag, Song Zun's face was cold, but a strong fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter and brighter, Songzun ordered a soldier beside him, the fire chief: "Instruct Gao Jin Zhongxiu to give the enemy troops time to deploy calmly. After arriving at the enemy camp, they will attack directly to create a winning ground for our main army. machine."
"Yes!" the fire chief responded, leading ten soldiers away from the army and quickly headed north.
Song Zun then gave instructions to the messengers: "Give orders to all armies to speed up their march."
Today's Liaodong Plain has become the most critical link in the game between Goguryeo and the Sui Dynasty. Due to the passive defense policy pursued by Gao Yuan before, they missed a move and missed the best opportunity to defeat the enemy. However, Goguryeo Liaodong has a strong foundation, many soldiers and generals, and sufficient supplies. Although the Sui army on the east route led by Yang Ji is backed by the powerful Sui Dynasty, he came to the war in a hurry and found it difficult to obtain too many troops and supplies in Youzhou. He could only They opened up the situation with a dangerous move. Although this opportunity was important to the Sui Dynasty, it could not change the fact that the Sui army on the east route was weak in the follow-up. As long as they annihilated the Sui army on the east route and pushed their troops forward before the Sui army came to help. Before Linyu Pass, everything will suddenly become clear.
Among the three major horns in the north of Goguryeo, the Xifeng Camp had 100,000 troops; this camp was divided into three, the North Camp had 15,000 troops, the South Camp had 10,000 troops, and the 30,000 elite cavalry Li Yong had taken away After deducting this, Song Zun only had 45,000 available troops left. However, he was also quite decisive. After he decided on the strategy of attacking the Chengzishan camp, he brought all 40,000 cavalrymen with him.
As for Li Yong's side, he could neither control nor care about it; and the 10,000 heavy cavalry brought by Li Yong were powerful weapons and could not be defeated no matter how they calculated. What's more, there is a time difference in fighting at this time. As long as the Chengzishan camp is broken first, Yu Wenshu, Xi Dajing and others can only divide their troops to rescue. In this way, Li Yong would have the opportunity to defeat the enemy, and he could also respond calmly to assist the Sui army.
It is precisely because of his full confidence that Song Zun ignored the sound of killings in the western battlefield. At the same time, he did not expect his own soldiers to be able to hide the Sui army's scouts, nor did he expect his own side to sneak attack the Sui camp. The purpose of the mighty troops heading north was actually to put pressure on the scattered Sui armies.
This method has a strong meaning of subduing ten groups.
Although the theory was true, it was a pity that he seriously underestimated the immortal team of Yang Ji, and at the same time overestimated Li Yong and the heavy cavalry. Less than two moments after accelerating the march, a forward general came to report on Pegasus. : "General, the enemy is already waiting three or four miles away!"
"What's all the fuss about?" Song Zun hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet. He frowned and asked in a deep voice, "But the passes of Longshou Mountain and Gongnong Mountain?"
The general replied: "That's exactly where it is!"
Songzun pondered for a long time and then asked again: "Do you know how many troops the enemy has?"
The general swallowed his saliva and said bitterly: "General, according to the judgment of General Mo and General Gao, the Sui army numbered at least 30,000 people, and they occupied a favorable terrain."
"Thirty thousand?" Song Zun's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He looked at the general with disbelief and said quickly, "Have you made a mistake? The Sui army still has thirty thousand troops? Could it be? Is the enemy trying to make something mysterious? For example, the flags are blocking out the sky or the sun."
"No!" The general understood why Song Zun was so surprised, because their forwards had been surprised before. He shook his head and said firmly: "Apart from the necessary flags and battle flags, there are no other flags. And watch the enemy. The 'King of Wei Yang' embroidered on the military commander's flag must be Yang Ji's arrival."
Songzun's hole suddenly shrank. He looked around and saw groups of infantry moving forward, and his heart became even more heavy.
No matter whether the opponent's coach is Yang Ji or not, or how many troops the opponent has, they have to fight this battle whether they want to fight or not. If they retreat at this point, the Sui army will definitely cover up their retreat. The light cavalry can retreat calmly, but how can the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry retreat?
The only way is to make mistakes, kill all the enemy troops, and achieve final victory.
"Let's go and have a look." Taking a deep breath, Song Zun said resolutely: "I want to see what kind of person Yang Ji is and what ability he has to defeat my heavy cavalry and heavy infantry."
Before he finished speaking, a thunderous sound of horse hooves and shouts of death suddenly sounded from the front.
A group of scouts galloped over with all their strength, shouting: "General Qi, the enemy cavalry has come to cover up our forward, and General Gao is about to lead his army to fight."
Songzun's expression suddenly changed and he shouted: "Instruct Gao Jinzhong to fight with all his strength and buy time for me."
"Yes!" The general who came to report the news saluted and immediately flew back.
"Everyone, follow me forward to check the situation!" Songzun's heart clenched, and he rode forward without waiting for the soldiers to respond.
His heart was beating wildly, and his face was no longer as calm as before. Instead, it was filled with nervousness and anxiety.
The general of the Sui army was so powerful and the timing of his attack was so precise that he didn't give them any time to rectify.

Former military leader Gao Jinzhong was both a member of the Goguryeo royal family and a Da Laisa of the Slavery Department. Da Laisa was equivalent to the chief of the tribal alliance on the grassland. When he saw the Sui army setting up an upright military formation, he led his soldiers forward, intending to fight with the opponent. The coach communicated for a while to buy time for his own army. Unexpectedly, the other party agreed. But when the two sides reached the middle, they heard a faint vibration like a drum.
Then there was an earth-shattering cry of killing. Just when I was stunned for a moment, a scream that ripped through the air suddenly came from the air. The armored guards shouted loudly, and instinctively stepped forward to block it with their shields. General, a wave of thick and long arrow shafts pierced the shield, and sank into the bodies of the soldiers from behind the shield.
The shield formation was broken.
Gao Jinzhong turned sideways, blocked his own horse in front of him, swung his sword to kill an arrow shot from the front, and when his horse fell to the ground after being struck by the arrow, he had already left the horse's back and stepped forward without looking back. He stepped back and ran away, cursing loudly as he ran: "Damn Sui Dog doesn't respect martial ethics. He starts a fight at the slightest disagreement. Fight, fight!"
