On the first day of May, in the afternoon, the south bank of Dading River.

The more powerful the attack of Shaoshilin, the greater the resistance he encountered, which made him more sure that the Marines were not fighting alone. The Marines must have the Middle-Turk army behind the Marines, so he ordered all troops to attack with all their might. If they could seize the Jinkou mudflat before reinforcements arrived, then in the battle tomorrow, their side would definitely have a certain advantage.

At dusk, Quan Bai's army arrived at the battlefield and met with Shao Shilin.

After listening carefully to Shao Shilin's description of today's war, Quan Baicao frowned deeply and asked anxiously, "Does there be scouts going deep into the northeast foothills of Jiangnan Mountain and even the front line of Yunshui to inquire about military information? Do we have the latest understanding of the enemy's situation?"

Shaoshi Lin shook his head and said worriedly, "We sent a large number of scouts, but so far, no news has been sent back, and no scouts have returned. There is an abnormality, and there is only one possible explanation, being captured or killed, and the entire army is wiped out. From this, it is inferred that the enemy not only comes fiercely, but its troops are probably beyond our imagination."

Quan Baicao pondered for a long time and shook his head, "There is no reason. According to our understanding, even if the troops of the Marinha River on both sides of Huifachuan are full of their nests, they will only have tens of thousands of control strings at most. However, the Central Earth army came on a long journey, and there was a serious shortage of food and grass, and at most it would not exceed 20,000 troops. It was based on this inference that the General of Yizhi decided to take the initiative to attack, attack instead of defending, attack the enemy with his own strengths, and drag the enemy on both sides of the Dading River at any cost, and eventually drag the enemy down and defeat the enemy. Our inference may not be credible, but the General of Yizhi's inference is unquestionable."

Shaoshi Lin nodded, "Tomorrow, you and I will join forces to attack hard, and we should be able to find out the truth."

On the second day of May, the Goguryeo army was as powerful as a rainbow, and nearly 20,000 soldiers launched rounds of attacks on the north bank of the Dading River like a tide.

Considering that Gao Hu was leading the Dragon Cavalry to come in Fengchi and his side had sufficient reserves, Li Fengyun decisively threw the left Khitan army into the battlefield and ordered Yelu Tielli, Dahe Mohui and Naiman Dupan to lead the headquarters to control the strings and reinforce from the left, middle and right.

The two sides fought bloody battles, and the Goguryeo people were not afraid of casualties and sacrificed themselves to defend their country. The Anton Army occupied the geographical advantage and used the dangerous half-cross of the river to launch round after round of massacres against the landing enemy.

That night, the anxious Yizhi Wende received a letter from Shaoshilin and Quan Baicao. Today, his side was tireless invading, and the enemy fought to the death at all costs. He fought fiercely for one day. More than 3,000 soldiers were killed and killed, and the blood stained the Dading River red, and he still failed to seize the tidal flats on the other side. Based on today's war and the observation of scouts on the edge of the battlefield, the enemy's troops were no more than 30,000 control strings, but no Middle-Turkish army was found. The flags they saw were all the Muhe people and Donghu people, and there must be a mystery in this.

Shaoshi Lin and Izumi Baicao beg Yizhi Wende, since the attack on his side had begun and the enemy had taken the bait and was fighting with all their might, then his side should send reinforcements to Dadinghe, strive to gain an advantage in military strength to gain the initiative in the battlefield, gradually achieve the battle goals, and minimize the casualties of his side.

After a little weighing, Yizhi Wende agreed to the request of Shaoshi Lin and Izumi Baicao. The war has begun, and the enemy's intentions have basically been clear. The enemy must attack and are eager to fight and fight quickly. Then our side will do the opposite, just fight in a stalemate, staying stalemate with the enemy, delaying and consuming the opponent, and eventually dragging down the opponent.

Yizhi Wende ordered Shi Xin to lead an army to Dadinghe for reinforcements.

Yizhi Wende wrote to King Gao Yuan to report on the development of the war. He also wrote to Jiang Yiwei, asking him to take into account the Qingchuan defense line while sticking to the Yalu Water Defense Line and give strong support to the Qingchuan battlefield at critical moments. He also wrote to the Prime Minister Gao Jianwu, who was in charge of Pyongyang, detailing the changes in the situation and his own offensive and defensive strategies. In order to reduce the defensive pressure on Pyongyang, the Qingchuan defense line must block and delay the invading enemy troops at all costs. For this reason, Yizhi Wende proposed whether Pyongyang can provide reinforcements to Qingchuan while ensuring defense safety, and then send some reinforcements to Qingchuan.

On the second day of the fifth month, late at night, Gao Hu and the Dragon Cavalry arrived at the city of Huicheng.

After the fierce battle, the generals of the army were full of fighting spirit, especially the chief generals of Tieli and others. They witnessed and experienced the joint efforts of various races to fight side by side, and their trust in Li Fengyun and Andong's army has greatly improved. Now seeing reinforcements roaring, the subsequent main force is coming, and their confidence in winning this battle has increased even more.

"Analysis from the development of the battle situation, the enemy may continue to increase troops." Li Fengyun stood in front of the map, personally summarized and analyzed the gains and losses of today's battle, and then made a conclusion, "The reason for this judgment is that the enemy is attacking the enemy's shortcomings with its own strengths. Our shortcomings are obvious. Long-distance attacks, no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside, so the number of food and grass is short, and the number of troops is limited. We can only use war to support the war and fight quickly. On the contrary, the enemy has sufficient food and grass, and there are plenty of soldiers and generals, and there is enough time to deal with me. Therefore, the development of the battle situation is that the enemy first takes the strategy, first take advantage of our eagerness to fight, first drag us down, and not give us the opportunity to go deep into the city of Pyongyang to burn, kill and plunder, and then continue to increase troops, and the stalemate is in a stalemate. In this way, our food and grass will inevitably fall into a crisis of collapse, and the result will be dragged down by the enemy."

"Fortunately, our reinforcements flocked to us, and our advantage in military strength expanded rapidly, but the enemy did not know, so we also used a plan."

Li Fengyun pointed to Huicheng on the map, "We besieged the city and fought for assistance. Tomorrow, we will fight fiercely in Dading River for another day, and then look at the development of the battle situation. If the enemy increases troops again, it is enough to prove that our judgment is correct. In this way, when the acquired enemy attacks with all their might, we pretend to be defeated, retreated from the camera, lure the enemy to the city of Huicheng, and then surround them and annihilate them."

Li Fengyun looked up at the generals in the tent and said solemnly, "This is a hard battle, a bloody battle. As long as we win this battle, Qingchuan's defensive forces will be severely damaged. They can only trap the city, and we control the battlefield and take the initiative. Next, we can surround Qingchuan and cut off the connection between Pyongyang and Yalu Water. In this way, we can kill Pyongyang to the east and Yalu Water to the west. There is no suspense in the victory of the third Eastern Expedition."

As soon as this statement was made, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly rose. The victory or defeat of the Battle of Dadinghe directly determined the victory or defeat of the Third Eastern Expedition. This was of great significance, and the soldiers of the army needed to unite and fight to the death.

On the third day of the fifth month, the two sides continued to fight fiercely in the Dading River. The Goguryeo people on the south bank sacrificed their lives to die, and continued to die. The Mohe people on the north bank could not hold on anymore, and the defense line was broken from time to time. Although they tried their best to launch a counterattack, their fatigue had already appeared and the defeat had emerged. This made the Goguryeo people very angry and their offensives became stronger, and they broke through the opponent's defense line more and more times.

When the sun sets west, Shi Xin led reinforcements to the battlefield and met with Shaoshilin and Quan Baicao.

The three generals discussed and decided to stop fighting at dusk, so that the soldiers who fought continuously would have a good rest. Tomorrow morning, the three armies would launch their most fierce attacks on the opponent's enemy.

That night, amid the expectations of Li Fengyun and the generals, the strongest main force of the Andong Army, the Fengyun Army, arrived on the battlefield in scattered, and nearly 20,000 infantry soldiers arrived in reinforcements, which made the selection army, who had been exhausted for several days, ecstatic and joyful.

Guo Ming, Xu Shisan, Zhong Xin, and Cao Kun paid a visit to Li Fengyun and told Li Fengyun that three days ago, outside Longlin City of Yushui, Han Shiye met with the Wu Ben Lang General Luo Yi who came from the other side of Yalushui. After the two armies met, they headed south day and night, with only one day left to Huicheng.

"Luo Yi?" Li Fengyun was very surprised. Luo Yi's appearance indicated that Cui Hongsheng had led the army of the selection to Yalu River, and he sent Luo Yi to travel a long distance to support the Andong Army, which was to show his determination to support Li Fengyun.

"Ming Gong, the current situation is very beneficial to me." Guo Ming said, "General Cui is in Boxian City on the west bank of Yalu River. Therefore, as long as we capture Qingchuan, we can form a front-and-back attack with it. With the cooperation of General Cui, we can tear open or even destroy the Yalu River defense line, and then open up the connection between the two armies and obtain continuous support from food, grass and supplies."

Li Fengyun nodded and asked, "How many people did Luo Yi bring?"

"There are twenty-seven regiments of the five prefectures and more than 5,000 troops, all of them are elite guards of the western Liaoning town." Guo Ming hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Ming Gong, do you know Luo Yi?"

Li Fengyun smiled slightly, knowing what Guo Ming was worried about, and shook his hand disapprovingly, "This man is arrogant and domineering, but he is brave and good at fighting. Slaughtering the enemy is like a dog. As long as he likes it and gives him a chance to kill, he is like a evil wolf smelling blood, and he will never let go of any prey."

Li Fengyun pointed to the direction of Dading River, "The Goguryeo people are the best prey, and the defeat of Sashui is another great shame for Luo Yi, so it is not difficult to imagine, but the Goguryeo people are trapped in the encirclement and encounter Luo Yi, what will happen if they encounter Luo Yi."

Guo Ming, Xu Shisan and others looked at each other. Although they were still worried, since Li Fengyun was so confident, they could only keep their uneasiness in their hearts.

"The letter told Xinyigong (Han Shiye) that he would speed up the marching and must rush to the battlefield before dusk tomorrow, so as not to miss the opportunity to fight."

On the fourth day of the fifth month, in the early morning, Yizhi Wende received a war report from Shaoshilin, Quan Baicao and Shi Xin from the Dading River frontline.

Today, there was a fierce battle, and the enemy's fatigue was revealed. The defense line was repeatedly broken through, and there was no enemy reinforcements. Based on this, it was concluded that the enemy's invasion was probably only so many troops, about 20,000 of them. It is just that it is understandable that the Marines and the Khitans joined forces to invade Goguryeo. The two were originally an alliance, but how did the Xi tribe join this alliance? The Xi tribe and the Khitans fought endlessly, and they fought to the death last year. Why did they shake hands and make peace in the blink of an eye and fight together to go to the fortress? Why did the two enemies turn wars into jade and silk? Why did they fight with the Marines and attack Goguryeo together?

Because of these doubts, Shao Shilin and the three generals believed that the opponent's internal conflict was serious, and the three armies would be able to cross the Dading River tomorrow.

But the question is, where is the partial army of Zhongtu? The enemies in front of you are all the people of the Marines and Donghu, but there is no trace of Zhongtu. So where is the partial army of Zhongtu? Are your judgments wrong?

Shao Shilin and three other generals were very frank and told Yizhi Wende in detail about his worries and asked Yizhi Wende to make a decision.

After careful consideration of the Yizhi Wende, he quickly wrote to the front line and crossed the river to fight tomorrow. The three armies launched at the same time, but with the Xin army as the main force, the Xin army as the vanguard after crossing the river, attacking towards Huicheng. The two divisions of Shaoshilin and Quan Baicao followed each other with the two wings to support them. Once the situation of the battle changes, and even the enemy is ambushed, the three armies will support each other, form a battle to confront each other, and stand firm and wait for assistance.

Yizhi Wende ordered that tomorrow morning, the general seemed to lead an army to reinforce the Dading River in case of an accident.

He also urgently wrote to Gao Jianwu, Pyongyang, asking Gao Jianwu to send troops to support Qingchuan.
