Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 377
Sa water.

Luo Cheng, who was scolded by Yu Wenshu, failed to rush to Pyongyang, and he was still in Sashui.It's just that at this time, he is no longer at the mouth of the Sashui River, but at the upper reaches of the Sashui River.

It's not that Luo Cheng decided to die, but he encountered new problems.

After sending someone to write a letter to Yu Zhongwen, Luo Yuan was planning to rush there day and night to meet with the Eighth Army.But when he just left the camp, he got a very important piece of information.

The information comes from Scout Qingqi.

This information was accidentally discovered by a light cavalry scout. They tracked a group of enemy scout cavalry at the mouth of the Sashui River, and they chased them all the way to the middle and upper reaches. Then they accidentally discovered the hidden army of Ulji Wende.

A total of 8 people are hiding in the upper reaches of the Sa River, where they are desperately repairing the embankment.

The scout Qingqi struggled to grab a few tongues, and finally got a piece of information.

Ulji Mundeok built a dike to block the water upstream of the Sa River. He was going to wait for the Sui army to retreat after running out of food, and when they crossed the Sa River, the Ninth Army would be flooded.

Knowing such precious military information, Luo Cheng immediately decided not to go to Pyongyang, but to raid this army.

Although the opponent has 8 to [-] people, Luo Cheng also has [-] elites, so he thinks he should have a chance of winning.What's more, the Goguryeo people thought that the nine armies of the Sui Army were acting together, and when they went to Pyongyang, they didn't expect the fifth army of the left to act alone, and they had already discovered their conspiracy.

When Luo Cheng left, he sent Qingqi to report the situation to Yu Zhongwen, but it was a pity that when the Qingqi was only a few dozen miles away from the Sui army, it was intercepted by a group of Goguryeo rangers. , In the end, the Qingqi army was wiped out and all died in battle, and the precious information was not delivered to Yu Zhongwen.

Luo Cheng turned and headed northwest.

He thought that Yu Zhongwen would receive his information, and then retreated to Sashui to encircle and wipe out the Goguryeo soldiers and horses together.

It's just that he miscalculated.

Yu Zhongwen and the others did not return to the north, but rushed to the city of Pyongyang with all their brains, and launched a fortified battle under the city of Pyongyang.

But they were all looking forward to coming to protect the children's navy, but they retreated to the beach, where they waited for the arrival of the second batch of navy and the news of the Ninth Army's arrival in Pyongyang.

The three Sui armies were separated like this.

Lai Hu'er was waiting for the Nine Army by the sea, Yu Wenshu was waiting for Luo Cheng and Lai Hu'er under the city of Pyongyang, and Luo Cheng rushed to the upper reaches of Sashui, just as Zhongwen and the others came to encircle and wipe out the Goguryeo army.

Run for hundreds of miles.

Thanks to the efforts of nearly [-] Goguryeo soldiers and civilians, the dam upstream of Sashui has been completed and is being stored.

"General, is it the same as telling them to come and then do it?"

Seeing that the dam has been completed and the water level of Sashui is slowly rising, Hou Mo Chen Yi said beside Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng looked at the soldiers behind him, they were exhausted from the long-distance raid for hundreds of miles.

"We don't know when Yu Shuai and the others will come, and whether they will come. The water level of this embankment is constantly rising, and we can't let the water level rise any further. Let's do it!"

Can't wait.

Luo Cheng mentioned his cold-bone jujube-nailed spear, "This battle must be won!"

The five thousand light cavalry of the whole army surrounded the two wings, the heavy cavalry broke through the middle, and the infantry followed.

Luo Cheng didn't plan to engage in any dignified duel, he was going to defeat the enemy with a wave of cover-ups.

"Is there any Sashui where the water level has risen? We will drive all the Goguryeo soldiers on the banks of the river into the water to feed the fish!"

"kill!"

Five thousand light cavalry were divided into three groups.

Luo Siye commanded the left, Luo Cunxiao commanded the right, and Luo Chengqin commanded the middle.

Behind Luo Cheng was a thousand armored cavalry led by Luo Shixin.

Behind them were more than [-] pawns closely following three light cavalry.

Sashui Riverside in June.

The summer wind is blowing, and the willows by the river are lingering.

The wind is blowing.

The battle flag of the Sui army fluttered with the wind, and the wind also blew the red tassels on Luo Cheng's helmet and the long cloak behind him.

As the commander of the first army, Luo Cheng actually rushed to the front.

This is a unique thing, and when this happens, it also means that the time has come for the whole army to charge.

With 3 people, forcefully charged [-] Goguryeo troops.

The horseshoes thundered.

Cyclonus.

Thirty thousand Sui troops shouted loudly together.

"Victory, long live!"

Long live the charge!

The torrent of cavalry is unstoppable.

Under the city of Pyongyang.

The third day of the siege.

More than [-] people were killed and injured again, but a section of the city wall still could not be captured.

The Eighth Army had run out of food and began to slaughter horses and mules.

And at this time, Goguryeo deliberately released several naval captives.

Yu Zhongwen, Yu Wenshu and other generals heard the news that made them lose all hope. Many days ago, Lai Huer had been defeated in Pyongyang, and the [-] army was wiped out.

No one dared to believe the news, and no one wanted to believe it.

But those captives were real.

Their news is also true, but no one wants to believe it.

"We stormed Pyongyang for three days and lost nearly [-] soldiers and horses. Now there is no food and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, so we can't fight anymore." Yu Zhongwen was the first to speak out.

"This old man who came to protect my son is incompetent. I want to impeach him." Yu Wenshu cursed.

But Yu Zhongwen just looked at him contemptuously. What's the use of trying to blame him at this time.The key now is how to safely evacuate the Eighth Army.

"Where is Luo Cheng? Didn't Luo Cheng say he was going to join us? Why is there no one? Could it be that this bastard has already heard the news of Lai Hu'er's defeat and has already run away?" Yu Wenshu scolded Luo Cheng again.

"I propose to retreat tonight." Xue Shixiong said.

"But the Goguryeo people didn't send their captives early or late, and at this time they sent captives to tell us the news of Lai Huer's defeat. Do you think they have good intentions?" Yu Zhongwen asked.

Xue Shixiong shook his head, "The Goguryeo people must have no good intentions, but the problem now is that no matter what evil intentions the Goguryeo people hide, we can't care about it. Now that we have run out of food, we have to withdraw. If we don't withdraw, we will perish without a fight. "

"It can be withdrawn, but it is difficult to withdraw. Once we withdraw, the Goguryeo people will definitely go out of the city to pursue them. At that time, our army will run out of food and the soldiers will not be able to fight. How about it?"

"I can't control that much anymore, we will withdraw tonight." Yu Wenshu said angrily.

Yu Zhongwen managed to retain some sense, "I think the Goguryeo people must be waiting for us to retreat to the north. We can't do what they want. Let me say that we do the opposite. We bypass Goguryeo. Go south. Maybe the sailors who came to protect the children are still at the seaside, if we can reunite with them, we still have a chance."

"Opportunity, if you run south at this time, wouldn't you die more and more? If the guardian has already withdrawn, should we go to Baekje, Silla, or Dongying? There is no food in the army. Still running south, do you think you didn't die fast enough?"

Yu Wenshu was completely opposed to Zhongwen's proposal to go south to look for the navy guard who came to protect his children, and he strongly advocated withdrawing northward overnight.

After deliberating for a long time, the generals decided to retreat north overnight.
