Turbulent Times Chapter 1115: The twelve generals who are sad and angry
Yu Wenshu, who was in charge of the frontline command, discussed with several generals including Wang Rengong, and instead of spreading the emperor's will to ordinary soldiers, he chose to continue the storm the next day.
It's just that the army attacked with all its strength for a whole day, and nearly ten thousand people died, but they still failed to break through Liaodong City.
At this time, Liaodong City was already stained red with blood, most of it was the blood of the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, and only half of it was the blood of the defenders of Goguryeo.
The Goguryeo battle flag at the top of the city is still erected, and no one except Wang Junlin can predict how long it will be erected. General Wang Rengong, known for his bravery, rushed up with Zuo Wuwei, but was thrown down again by rocks. Known for his cunning, Yu Wenshu resorted to various methods such as besieging the east and the west, besieging the three and missing one, and swindling the city with aid, but they still did not let the Goguryeo people give up their resistance.
The attacker climbed to the top of the city and was chopped down. The defender poked his head out and was shot into a thorn. When the game of recruiting surrender and appeasement was too much to play, both the enemy and the enemy finally tried their best. Scenes of blood and fire tragedies are staged outside the city walls every day, the same story is repeated every day, and many people die every day.
Finally, Yang Guang's patience was exhausted, and he decreed to allow the army to attack by force.
However, it was too late. Goguryeo has reached the rainy season with the most heavy rain in the four seasons of the year, and I don’t know if it’s because too many people died on this land. The rain was extraordinarily heavy. It was muddy.
After the heavy rain, when the rain in Zhejiang and Zhejiang did not end at the beginning, the wet weather greatly reduced the power of the bed crossbow and the catapult. Even in a strong attack, they can't gain the upper hand. Everyone knows that attacking the city at this time is death.
But Yang Guang didn't care about the life and death of the soldiers. He forced the heavy rain to attack the city, and more than 30,000 people died in three days. There were no catapults and bed crossbows to attack the top of the city. These 30,000 people didn't even attack the top of the city. , They all died under the city of Liaodong.
The corpses of more than 30,000 soldiers only let Yang Guang understand the fact that it is impossible to attack the city in the rainy day.
Yang Guang suddenly fell into a state of worrying about gains and losses. He was too involved in the drama before, and the people around him flattered him
The level is too high. After a long time, he firmly believes that he is the master of the world, the emperor of the ages, and he will be destroyed wherever he goes. But now even the sky is preventing him from attacking the city. Yang Guang can't help but suspect It's not that heaven is warning him about something.
But Yang Guang's stubborn side was completely aroused. I don't know who told him. He thought it was a test for him from heaven. So he ordered the soldiers to recharge their batteries while waiting for the sunny day.
Yuan Taizuo has long spread rumors in Liaodong City, saying that once the Sui people break the city, they will massacre the city. Therefore, the hundreds of thousands of people and the army in the city are rarely united and tried their best to defend the city. Now I see the Sui people After being deflated again and again, the morale is getting higher and higher.
The Sui army outside the city was just the opposite, the morale of the army was on the verge of collapse.
Yu Wenshu, Wang Rengong, Li Zixiong and other generals vaguely understood that whether they could conquer Liaodong City would depend on the first confrontation between the two sides after the weather cleared.
Pei Shiju finally realized that the situation was not good. If the Sui Dynasty suffered a disastrous defeat this time, the rule of the Sui Dynasty might be shaky given the domestic turmoil, so he took the opportunity to suggest to Yang Guang to dig up the Daliang River and flood the city. The river is less than two miles away from the north wall of Liaodong City.
But Yang Guang said too much before. In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the ninety-nine envoys, he said with confidence and majesty that he is the co-lord of the world, he is the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and he He wanted the people of Goguryeo to become his own people. He disdained to do such a thing. He refused once, so he couldn't bear to adopt the method of digging a big river to flood Liaodong City.
After Yang Guang reprimanded Pei Shiju, he returned north from Wanghaidun and came to the front camp.
It was rained on the road, so His Majesty the Sui Emperor's face was a little ugly. But this did not prevent him from expressing his anger to the officials, or in other words, his pale face made his Tianwei even more unpredictable.
Of course, if Wang Junlin looked at Yang Guang's expression here, he would immediately find that Yang Guang's state was a little abnormal at this time. Son of Heaven, it turned out that he was not recognized by the heavens, as if he was as ordinary as other emperors, even
A kind of hysteria when you are about to fail miserably.
Yang Guang recruited twelve generals to him, and scolded him for an entire hour.
The twelve great generals knelt in front of Yang Guang and lowered their heads, with shame on their faces, but inexplicable anger and aggrieved hearts. Everyone is thinking that if His Majesty does not personally conquer Goguryeo and leads the army to attack Goguryeo, the result will never be like this.
But no one dares to say such a thing, everyone is a smart person, knowing that whoever says it will be beheaded by the order of His Majesty who has fallen into madness.
It took more than a month for an army of one million, but they failed to take down the first city of the small country they called. Such a result made it difficult for Yang Guang to accept.
Especially when the envoys from the ninety-nine countries were watching, Yang Guang felt that he had been humiliated.
General Zuo Yiwei Yu Wenshu lowered his head, unwilling to say a word. The General of the Twelve Guards had his seniority the oldest, and his relationship with His Majesty the Emperor was the closest. Usually, everyone looked up to him, but today he became dumb, and the other generals even lost the courage to speak. All of them stared at the toes of their boots, not daring to breathe.
"What's the matter, why don't you talk. Could it be that my million-strong army can't beat Goguryeo's less than 300,000 troops. Wang Junlin led 10,000 temporarily recruited pirates on the sea, and has captured three cities and won You have conquered half of Annan County, and what about you! Twelve generals, leading an army of one million, crossed the Liao River, and it was difficult for them to move even a single step. They couldn't even break through a Liaodong city." Seeing that the crowd refused to speak, Yang Guang became even more angry. , staring round eyes angrily reprimanded.
Originally, Yang Guang was convinced that Liaodong City would be breached soon, so he took envoys from ninety-nine countries and a group of civil servants to have fun at Wanghaidun, thinking that after spending this beautiful summer by the sea, he would be able to hear Goguryeo. Surrender news. Unexpectedly, what came from the front was failure after failure, and even a one-month siege caused them to lose nearly 100,000 people.
But what Yang Guang thought of at this time was not that the Goguryeo people had such a strong will to resist, nor did he think of his two stupid wills to tie the twelve generals to the city of Liaodong, but he wanted to Without him on the front line, these twelve generals would not even be able to fight.
