Turbulent Times Chapter 1087: The battle begins

Wang Junlin finally opened his mouth and said: "What Mr. Tang said is very true, I deeply believe it."

After speaking the probing words, Wang Junlin gave a clear signal again, Li Yuan looked serious, and began to enter the important link. He sighed and said: "I hope the army will conquer Goguryeo and Pyongyang as soon as possible!"

Wang Junlin looked at Li Yuan and said, "Don't you think about the conquest of Goguryeo?"

Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, and said: "I don't think that our Tai Sui will lose, but our Tai Sui dispatched more than one million troops, more than three million laborers, and consumed a huge amount of food and grass, so what if we win the battle?" , must be the result of hurting the enemy by one thousand and hurting oneself by eight hundred."

Wang Junlin praised: "Mr. Tang can realize this, and I admire you."

Wang Junlin is telling the truth. Many people know that this battle should not be fought. It is actually not difficult. Some knowledgeable people will know it when they look at Da Sui's current situation. But no matter what they think, they all think that Sui can win, after all, the difference in military strength and national power is so great.

So, apart from him and Nie Xiaoyu, who are the two cheaters, those who can see that Sui will win miserably even if he wins like Tang Guogong Li Yuan are definitely rare.

However, Wang Junlin could also see that although Li Yuan was not optimistic about the outcome of this war, he still hoped that the Sui Dynasty would sweep Goguryeo smoothly.

"Qin An Gong is absurd." Li Yuan sighed modestly, then sighed, and said quietly: "This time, nearly a hundred envoys from the vassal states followed the army to watch the battle. If they win, they will also be able to deter those Barbarians. If the army is unfavorable, not to mention the Turks and other countries, there may be changes..." He sighed and shook his head: "Even in the Sui Dynasty, all the counties in the world... I am afraid there will be chaos!"

"Before the troubled times came, this old man wanted to form an alliance with Duke Qin An and help each other in secret." Li Yuan finally expressed his ultimate goal today.

Wang Junlin said with a smile: "Why should Mr. Li see outsiders? With the relationship between Xuanba and my subordinates, our two families have already formed an alliance."

Li Yuan was ecstatic in his heart. To be honest, the current situation of their Li family is not good. , Yu Shiji, Pei Shiju and other emperor's close ministers have sent a lot of benefits, but it is not certain whether they will succeed or not! And what he wants to plot is the prefect of Taiyuan County in Hedong. This is a good place. There are many people who are staring at this prefect, such as Taiyuan Wang.

…

…

After meeting with Li Yuan, Wang Junlin immediately set off and sailed south to Fanyang County.

Before coming to Liaodong, Wang Junlin had already made arrangements. The 6,000 elite soldiers from the salt field led by Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong, and the 4,000 elite soldiers led by Yuchi Jingde were secretly transported to Dami Island and Bailing Island by large ships. , a total of 10,000 elite naval divisions under his command were also concentrated on the two islands.

When Wang Junlin returned to Fanyang County, Zhao Chen, the head of the Fanyang County Navy, and 30,000 sailors were eagerly waiting to set off.

In early April, Wang Junlin directly ordered Zhao Chen to follow the coastline and approach Goguryeo, and he went directly to Dami Island and Baekling Island.

Although the 30,000 sailors are not as powerful as the 10,000 sailors trained in the Snake Island training camp, and the equipment is also quite different, but now that the Goguryeo navy has been disabled by Wang Junlin, the 30,000 navy It is enough to restrain Goguryeo's energy, and in Wang Junlin's plan, the role of these 30,000 sailors is not small.

Moreover, he doesn't need to go there personally to control the 30,000 sailors. With Huang Shaoqiu around, he doesn't worry that the 30,000 sailors will be disobedient.

"No matter what, before the emperor conquered Goguryeo, our plan on the sea was basically realized. Even if the emperor led a million troops to defeat, but because of our existence, Goguryeo would not be much better!" Standing in front of the wall chart of the offensive and defensive line on the south coast of Goguryeo, Wang Junlin said with emotion.

Yang Kongchan said: "According to the emperor's will, before he sends troops across the Liaohe River and invades Goguryeo, your lord can't move out..."

Wang Junlin sneered and said, "It's not right now to openly violate the emperor's will, just wait for now!"

…

…

It is naturally impossible for Yang Guang to stay on the west bank of the Liao River with an army of more than one million.

On April 15th, the sixth year of Daye, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty personally commanded to attack the east bank of the Liao River. The three armies of Zuowuwei, Zuotunwei, and Youwuwei who served as the vanguard totaled more than 90,000 people, all of them were elite soldiers, and there was not a single civilian recruited temporarily.

Ministry Minister Yu Wenkai was ordered to build a pontoon bridge for the army. More than 40,000 strong people with inflated animal urine foam tied to their waists, carried wooden planks, bamboo poles and short piles, and jumped into the icy Liao River before the army.

It is already spring at this time, but the spring in Liaodong is much later. The Liaohe River is in the spring flood, cold and urgent, and the half-pillar incense is not available. More than 400 craftsmen have participated in the bridge repair swept away by the river. Others who gritted their teeth and persisted in the water were also so cold that their lips turned purple, and their movements on their hands and feet became weaker and weaker.

Yang Guang was unmoved. In his eyes, it seemed that more than 400 ants died instead of human beings. He ordered to continue building the pontoon bridge and asked for a faster speed.

His order was quickly conveyed. As the craftsmen and soldiers responsible for building the pontoon bridge continued to die, the pontoon bridge stretched to the opposite bank foot by foot. Also moved.

Thousands of Goguryeo soldiers in heavy armor rushed to the shore and erected a wooden wall with giant shields. Behind the wooden wall, thousands of Goguryeo warriors in light armor pushed over forty ballistas used for city attack and defense, pulled the bowstrings with ox-horse horses, and put the remaining long crossbow arrows on the crossbow bed.

Compared to the fact that the navy was crushed and destroyed by Wang Junlin and had no power to fight back, the army on land in Goguryeo has been fighting against Silla and Baekje all year round, which can also be called excellent

Sharp, and the weapons and equipment are no worse than Tai Sui.

This is mainly due to the good things of the Sui Dynasty. Goguryeo learned it quickly. No sense of secrecy.

The spring floods in the Liaohe River are rushing, and the wind is very strong on the water. When the distance is long, ordinary bows and arrows can't cause trouble for the opponent. Therefore, both sides unanimously thought of the bed crossbow. A long-distance crossbow battle was the first to kick off on both sides of the strait.

The sound of the surging water was quickly covered by the howling sound brought by the crossbow arrows breaking through the air. The first person fell into the river, was gently swept by the waves, and disappeared after a circle of red ripples appeared. Immediately followed by the second, and the third, the craftsmen and folk who had no weapons other than wood had nowhere to dodge, watching one after another thick wood flying through the bodies of several people at the same time .

Hundreds of craftsmen and folks died soon. The fear of death made the living craftsmen and folks panic and wanted to escape, but they were surrounded by fast-flowing water. where to go. He wanted to retreat, but his retreat was blocked by his companions. At the beginning of the pontoon bridge, hundreds of Sui soldiers armed with bows and arrows fiercely forced them up, shooting the dozen or so who fled back without hesitation. up.
