A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 608 Battle of Liaodong

"Brother, this time it's really a million-strong army conquering Liao. Yang Guang is really..."

Wang Xuanjing could no longer think of any words to use to describe Yang Guang. Is Yang Guang smart? Smart, if not smart, how could he win over Yang Yong and ascend to the throne of emperor.

So is he stupid? stupid! Except for him, no other emperor would conscript so many people and soldiers to attack Liaodong.

Although Liaodong is quite powerful, an army of 300,000 people is more than enough to conquer Liaodong.

Yang Guang should be a true million-strong army in history this time.

In previous wars, many people said that there would be an army of one million, but the real situation added up. Three hundred thousand troops would be overwhelming, but this time Yang Guang actually had more than one million.

Yang Guang conscripted twelve armies on the left and right, for a total of twenty-four armies. These were the elite of the Sui army. Each army had 8,000 elite infantry, plus 4,000 cavalry, for a total of 12,000 people.

In addition, there are a large number of ordinary infantry that are not included in the calculation. Wang Xuanjing calculated the news he received in his mind. Yang Guang has now recruited at least 800,000 troops. Plus the 100,000 navy troops who came to protect the commander and the minzhuang who transported grain and grass, the number of people is at least 130. Ten thousand.

Such a powerful army is enough to defeat the Turks in the north and any country on the plains. But this time he faced a country with long distances, difficult roads, and mountains.

No matter how powerful the Sui Dynasty's army was, could they still dig out mountains and fill up Liaoze?

"He is now stationed in Zhuo County, and his tent is hundreds of miles away from the front line. Even if he works hard, it will take him several days to come back. These few days are enough for the Liaodong army to readjust and prepare for a counterattack!"

"As a result, the Liaodong people took advantage of these few days to repair the city wall, transport supplies, and have recovered. They directly refused to surrender! Then the Sui army continued to attack!"

"Liaodong City was under the desperate fighting of the frontline generals. The Liaodong people could no longer hold on and begged for surrender to the Sui Dynasty. The frontline generals did not dare to act without permission. They neither dared to accept nor continued the attack. They quickly reported to Yang Guang, who ordered Accept its surrender!"

It is said that when people work together, the mountains can move, but this is a metaphor, now we are at war! Will the Liaodong Congress give you the time and opportunity to fill up Liaoze and dig out the mountains?

When Wang Xuanze saw the scene in front of him, his face became extremely ugly. At this time, the Liaodong battlefield had begun, and Wang Xuanze also received some news.

Just after taking a glance at the news, Wang Xuanze felt angry and dizzy. The brother next to him quickly stepped forward to help him.

Wang Xuanze took a few deep breaths and couldn't help but curse loudly: "Yang Guang is alone, and Xia Jie's brutal attacks are not enough to prevent this!"

"You don't know what he did!" Wang Xuanze said angrily: "It's okay for him to lead the expedition in person, but he ordered the generals at the front not to make any combat decisions without authorization before the war started! You must ask him for instructions before acting according to orders! "

"Brother, take care of yourself!" Wang Xuanjing advised.

"We lost many troops, suffered heavy casualties, and were about to break the city. As a result, the Liaodong people surrendered again. The frontline generals once again sent people to report. When the horses came back, the Liaodong people were ready again, but refused to surrender!"

"Like this, after coming down again and again, the Sui army suffered heavy casualties and failed to break through Liaodong City. The Liaodong people surrendered many times to get a chance to breathe. Then after Yang Guang sent people to accept the surrender, they went back on their word again. After several times, Yang Guang still Never repent!"

"What?" When everyone heard the news, they were all shocked by Yang Guang's operation.

"Yang Guang is crazy. Is he going to let all the millions of troops die in Liaodong?" Wang Xuanjing couldn't help but cursed with blue veins on his forehead. Everyone yelled at Yang Guang, saying this was not a fight at all, but a death attempt!

"Brother, Yang Guang wants to consume the strength of the powerful family?" Wang Xuanying, who had been silent next to him, suddenly said.

"Weaken the strength of a wealthy family?" Wang Xuanze was slightly stunned, but quickly shook his head and said: "This method wants to consume the strength of a wealthy family. The final result is that the family will lose at most 20%, but the Sui Dynasty It will cost 80%."

"Even if the Sui Dynasty has a strong family background and the foundation left by Yang Jian is deep, this will not eliminate those wealthy families, and those wealthy families will make up for their losses from other places!"

Even if the aristocratic families suffered some losses, they could pass the losses on to the common people. Such losses would have no effect on them at all.

"I'm afraid Yang Guang doesn't know this at all!" Wang Xuanying sneered: "He killed the king and came to power. He was arrogant and thought he could command the world, but he didn't understand at all that the tentacles of the imperial court could not reach below the county seat!"

"Fighting like this will make the battle of Liaodong mysterious. I am afraid that it will take several months and nights to break through the city of Liaodong. And in winter, the climate in Liaodong will be cold and frozen for thousands of miles. If the Sui army does not retreat, I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated!" Wang Xuanze Having calmed down, he quickly analyzed the battle situation.

"If you want to win now, it depends on how the navy comes to protect you!"

"Brother, I am not good at naval warfare. Although he is brave, he is not as talented as Han Bai and Wei Huo. He attacks across the sea, but there is not even a map of Lelang County. The terrain there is complex, the time, place, and people are not in the Sui army." , how can we win?"

"I'm afraid that if I make a mistake, I'll lose everything! It's better to prepare in advance!"

Wang Xuanze was silent. He was prepared for the failure of the Sui Dynasty when he went north, but no matter how hard he tried, he never expected that the Sui Dynasty would be defeated like this. Moreover, with this failure, millions of Sui armies could finally survive. How much it will come down is unknown.

Of the millions of Sui troops, less than one-third would probably survive in the end!

This is the strongest combat power of Zhu Xia in this era. Zhu Xia's decades of accumulation are now suddenly used by Yang Guang!

Wang Xuanze wanted to go directly to Zhuo County and kill Yang Guang with a sword, but he calmed down in the end. Begin to prepare to build some camps in various places and prepare food to gather the defeated army.

At the same time, a message was sent to Wang Hao's army using a carrier pigeon, ordering the navy to go north to prepare for the Sui Dynasty's retreat.

As expected, after Yang Guang's operations, for five months, the Sui army did not advance a step under Liaodong City, suffering heavy casualties, but without any results, and even ran out of food and grass. On the other side, the water army that came to protect children also suffered a disastrous defeat.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were killed. Seeing this situation, Yang Guang was furious, but it was of no avail and had to order the withdrawal of troops.

Hundreds of thousands of troops and refugees retreated hastily. The morale of the army collapsed long ago. Once they retreated, everything fell into chaos.

At this time, the Liaodong Kingdom took the opportunity to pursue and kill countless Sui soldiers and civilians, resulting in heavy casualties.
