Chapter 85
Three liters of vomiting blood
The heavy rain has been falling for two consecutive days. Although it sometimes turns into drizzle occasionally, such weather has also made Chen Kefu feel a little more at ease.
Although the heavy rain in front of him would make Yang Guang who returned to the army even more trouble, Chen Kefu gave him a lot of help. At this time, he didn't know that Gao Jianwu from Liaodong City had already known that Yang Guang was going to withdraw his troops, and he was still a little happy with the heavy rain in front of him.
As the heavy rain continued, he could give Liaodong City the illusion that he could not conquer the city due to heavy rain, and he could delay for a few more days and do more preparations. Chen Kefu ordered the camp to beat drums every day, and as soon as the raindrops were small, he would go out to practice the camp. Although most of these soldiers were new troops, Chen Kefu had no specific requirements except for sending them weapons. The only thing was to practice the array every day, and he completely took out the simple method of practicing the queue that he had received before traveling through time.
The people in the camp who were not organized into the new army were all reorganized according to the military management method. Every day, except for the craftsmen, all of these people had to practice outside the camp and yelled loudly. Anyway, they had to be in a good position to let the Liao people know that they had not left yet.
However, if the Liao people find out about the truth and the truth as soon as they leave the city, in order to prevent accidents, Chen Kefu surrounded all the four gates of Liaodong. The elite troops lined up in front of the city, and the bluffing people behind them were all in the distance under the banner, and they were catching more flags. Anyway, they were to scare the defenders of Liaodong city so that they could not understand the truth and reality. It would be best to confront each other like this, and wait until half a month later, and then they would attack or defend.
Even if Chen Kefu does not attack Liaodong City by then, he can still take his men to retreat to the new city, which will undoubtedly be much safer than staying in this empty Liaodong City.
On the west wall of Liaodong City, King Rongliu Gao Jianwu led a group of guards from Liaodong City, as well as Hu Sizheng who escaped from the Great Sui Camp, standing at the top of the city. At this time, it was still drizzling in the sky. Not far from the west gate, the Sui army sent another team of cavalry to challenge.
The two days after heavy rain, the Sui army finally stopped attacking the city, but it did not retreat as Hu Sizheng said. At present, the four cities in Liaodong each surrounded an army, with more than 100,000 people just looking at the banner. The Sui army camp in the distance was still standing there. As long as the rain was light, the Sui army would have a large army out of the camp to train.
The defenders who surrounded the West City even rained lightly every day, and cavalry would come to the city to challenge them. All kinds of insulting words and actions were constantly, making the defenders on the city so angry that they were about to die, but no one dared to go down to the city to fight.
King Rongliu Gao Jianwu looked at the cavalry. The cavalry was not large, only about 3,000, but they were all wearing black armor and even the horses were wearing vests, looking very majestic. These knights came and went back and forth, constantly running under the city, completely treating that as a racecourse.
Gao Jianwu turned his head and said to Hu Sizheng, who had already changed into a Goguryeo outfit, "Didn't you say that the Sui people would retreat within three days? Why is the Sui army now without any movement? Do you know this cavalry under the city?"
Hu Sizheng, who was stared at by Gao Jianwu, said helplessly, "This may be because of this sudden heavy rain. It has been two days since the heavy rain. It is not easy for the Sui Dynasty army to withdraw. I guess he wanted to wait until the rain stopped before leaving. After all, it was raining heavily, and the road was already muddy, and it was not easy for a million troops to march. As for the cavalry under the city, I know that it is Pojun Camp, the cavalry of Emperor Yang Guang, the closest general of Emperor Sui Yang Guang, and the cavalry of Chen Kefu, the general of Xincheng Bo Zhe Chonglang."
Gao Jianwu said in confusion, "I have heard of the great generals of the Sui Dynasty, why haven't I heard of this Chen Kefu?"
"Oh, it's not surprising that the prince has never heard of it. Chen Kefu was originally the eldest son of the Crown Prince Shen of Southern Chen, and the grandson of the late Chen master. However, since he was born, he was ordered by the old minister to secretly take him out of the city by the crown prince and has been growing up in Zhuo County. This time, the Emperor of Sui conquers Liao, he joined the army. In that battle of Liaoshui, he performed outstandingly. Yang Guang promoted him to the general of Yingyanglang and gave him the name Pojun. He also allowed him to build a new Pojun camp and command three thousand cavalry. As a result, this man was indeed extraordinary. Last time he went out of Fuyu Road with 3,000 cavalry, but he fought with Prince Gao Qi in Xincheng halfway."
Gao Jianwu said in surprise, "What did you say? Chen Pojun once attacked the new city? Why didn't I listen to you? What's going on in the new city now? Tell me quickly?"
Hu Sizheng was stunned when he heard this. After the Sui army captured Xincheng, he shot many notices into the city, informing them that the Xincheng had been taken down by them and wanted the Liaodong defenders to surrender. Unexpectedly, Gao Jianwu thought that this was just the Sui army's scheming and did not believe it at all.
Hu Sizheng stuttered, "Prince, then Chen Ke re-attacked Xincheng, and the Xincheng guardian Prince Gao Qi led more than 10,000 troops out of the city to fight him. However, he was defeated by Chen Kefu's battle. Not only was more than 10,000 people defeated and captured, but even Gao Qi was captured alive."
Gao Jianwu shouted, "What's going on later." Gao Jianwu was extremely angry at this time. He had never expected that the new city that the Sui army had said before was destroyed was true.
"Later, Chen Kefu persuaded Prince Gao Qi to surrender, and then he pretended to open the new city at night, and finally used a trick to trick all the generals in the city into his camp. In the end, he made people pretend to be a labor force, causing the remaining soldiers in the city to get drunk, and finally they were all captured."
With a clanging sound, Gao Jianwu pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed it on the battlements. His eyes were full of anger, "I have told Brother Wang that this person has no talent except to enjoy it, and he cannot let him govern the new city. But Brother Wang let him govern the new city because of some good words. Unexpectedly, this waste surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. I swear that I must kill this thief with my own hands."
The generals immediately scolded Gao Qi to show their loyalty, and even Hu Sizheng hurriedly cursed a few words.
Gao Jianwu's eyes were red and he stared at Hu Sizheng and said, "Then I say that the new city has fallen into the hands of the Sui people now?"
Although it was drizzling in the sky and the weather was no longer hot, Hu Sizheng felt sweat soaked on his back. He hurriedly lowered his head and said, "After Chen Kefu took the new city, Yang Guang immediately sent 100,000 troops to capture the three cities of Nansu, Mudi and Cangyan. Later, Chen Pojun surrendered Yang Guang's will to escort all the people in the new city back to the Liaodong camp. As a result, our general Yizhi led 80,000 cavalry to the north..."
Gao Jianwu grabbed Hu Sizheng's shoulder and grabbed him tightly, "What did you say? General Yizhi? Which general Yizhi?"
"Of course it was General Yizhi Wende. He brought 80,000 cavalry, but for some reason, Chen Kefu, who was in the night camp halfway, found out. Yu Wenshu, the son of the Zuoyi Guard General Yu Wenshu, led a thousand cavalry to raid the three thousand vanguards of General Yizhi and wiped them out. After General Yizhi knew about it, he led his troops to surround Na Yuwen and surrounded Na Yuwen and a valley, but the entrance to the valley was too small and it was difficult to capture for a while. Before dawn, Chen Kefu led the heavy cavalry under the city to raid the general Yizhi who was completely unprepared. It is said that these heavy armored soldiers were still in stock in the arsenal in the new city, and were used by Chen Kefu."
Gao Jianwu's face was already dark at this time, and he had already vaguely felt something very bad had happened. Otherwise, if Yizhi won, he would not have sent someone to notify him. The biggest possibility was that the general Yizhi suffered a loss and returned to Pyongyang.
"The General of Yizhi was completely unprepared at that time. The heavy cavalry of Chen Kefu was attacked by the thousand-man heavy cavalry, which damaged nearly 10,000 soldiers in one battle. Even the first warrior of Goguryeo, Jin Dalai, was killed in that battle. In the end, the general led his troops back twenty miles. In the morning, the general of Yizhi divided into two groups, attacking the camp of Chen Pojun, and the general of Yizhi personally led Chen Kefu and Yuwen Wenji to the valleys of Yuwen and Yuwen. Before the General of Yizhi took two places, Yuwen Shu and Pei Renji, sent by Yang Guang, attacked from the Liaodong Daying and Xincheng. The general of Yizhi disappeared. The general of Yizhi led dozens of cavalry to pass the Yalu River."
When Gao Jianwu heard this, he vomited blood. He did not expect that not only was he beaten by the Sui army in Liaodong City so quickly that the entire army was destroyed. Even the general of the God of War Yizhi had lost 80,000 cavalry. He understood very well the meaning of these 80,000 cavalry. Now Goguryeo fought with the Sui army many times, and many soldiers were injured and killed. Now there are only more than 200,000 troops in the country, and they are still scattered everywhere.
Now there are only 10,000 troops left in Liaodong City, and the Yi branch has lost another 80,000. Now, even if the private soldiers of the nobles are added together, there are not necessarily 100,000. Moreover, there are still about 20,000 people in Liaodong City. After this battle, the cavalry is estimated to be less than 50,000.
I think that Goguryeo used to traverse Liaodong and fight against the tribes in the Far East, and that they were not inferior to the Turkish mountain light cavalry. But now they have lost this way. When he thinks of this, he can no longer control himself and vomits blood.
Gao Ming and other generals quickly supported Gao Jianwu, "Prince, you have to take care of yourself. Goguryeo is now in a critical moment, and you need your support even more."
Gao Jianwu finally recovered, struggled to stand up, and said hatefully, "Yizhi is a country that has ruined the country. Your Majesty had already decided on the strategy that he could only be a strong wall against the Sui army. Then he led the Sui army deeper and waited for the food to be cut off, and then set up an ambush. How can we fight against the elite of the Sui army in a hundred battles? What's more, he was defeated by more than a thousand people. Yizhi is a country that ruined the country!"
