Chapter 1703 Continue to Fight
This urgent letter was actually to inform Han Yi of the war between Northwest and Tuyuhun, but this was sent by Han Yi's people, not by the court. If it was sent by the court, it would be given to Li Ji, not to him. .
This made Han Yi very depressed. This battle was originally a sure win. He raised so much money and even if he wasted, he would have to waste Goguryeo to death. However, Lu Dongzan, the messing stick, ran out to stir up a few more times, immediately making the situation even more unpredictable.
Han Yi also knew very well that in the northwest, Tuyuhun is much more important than Goguryeo. Today, Goguryeo is a country that has been crippled, so Li Zhi is very likely to choose to withdraw his troops.
But in this way, the country will owe a huge sum of money and have to defend Baekje, and things will become very complicated.
Bailan Mountain.
The three intermediate generals Wang Fangyi, Wang Xuance and Zhao Chiman resisted Lu Dongzan's fierce offensive with Bailan Mountain, but at the same time they themselves suffered heavy losses. The three of them also had a lottery. In this kind of battle with huge disparity in force, the commander must command on the city wall and add a halo to the soldiers. If the commander hides behind to command, the soldiers will not fight desperately.
You should know that they only have 20,000 soldiers, and Tubo alone dispatched a 100,000 army, including the Bailan tribe that would charge for Tubo, and Bailan Mountain was not as good as Tongguan. In addition, they knew the defense here well, which was the territory of the Bailan tribe.
"Oh, it seems that Your Majesty will not send troops to reinforce us."
Wang Xuance sighed to the sky.
In fact, with their troops, it is already a miracle that they can defend for so many days. The other side is not Goguryeo, but the powerful Tubo.
If Li Zhi had sent reinforcements immediately at that time, he would have been able to arrive in time.
Wang Fangyi smiled bitterly and said, "We are just some unknown juniors. How dare Your Majesty hand over the heavy troops to our commander."
He had actually expected that not only because they were intermediate generals, but also because he and Zhao Chi were members of the Guanlong Group, and the elders of the Guanlong Group had just died, exiled, and were also charged with rebellion. How could the court hand over heavy troops to them?
This is what Cao Cao said, Cao Cao will arrive.
Li Zhi's edict was finally delivered.
Wang Fangyi opened the letter excitedly and looked at it, and his face was filled with disappointment.
Wang Xuance hurriedly asked, "What did Your Majesty say?"
Wang Fangyi sighed: "Your Majesty said that we can keep our rules and we cannot return to our country."
Zhao Chiman said, "What should I do if Tuyuhun?"
Wang Fangyi said: "Return to China with us."
Zhao Chiman was speechless when he heard this. Can this be called retreat? This is someone else's country, isn't it just that people destroy the country?
Wang Xuance sighed. In fact, he was very confident. No one believed them. He said, "Since Your Majesty has decided, let's prepare as soon as possible."
Wang Fangyi nodded helplessly, and suddenly saw Zhao Chiman looking blankly into the distance, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
After Wang Xuance left, Wang Fangyi said to Zhao Chiman: "Brother, hurry up and prepare. Your Liangzhou army retreat first, and you will come to cut off the rear for you."
Zhao Chiman looked at Wang Fangyi blankly, and after a while, he said, "Brother, I don't want to leave."
Wang Fangyi was stunned and said, "Our people alone cannot be defended here. Even if Your Majesty has asked us to withdraw our troops, we should retreat as soon as possible to avoid excessive damage."
Zhao Chiman said, "I know."
"and you."?
Wang Fangyi said, and suddenly a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Chi's eyes were slightly moist, and he lowered his head and said, "I can get what I am today because of my uncle and the Grand Marshal. Now the Grand Marshal and the Grand Marshal have been harmed by traitors, but I can't do anything and I can't protect myself. I am still alive now, but it's just a lucky person. They will definitely find a way to get rid of me. Instead of being forced to death by them, it's better to die in the battlefield so that the world knows that my uncle and I are loyal to the Tang Dynasty."
He received a good education since childhood and was a person who valued love. He was completely unconfident in his future at this time. He wanted to show his ambitions by death. Didn’t you say that my uncle Changsun Quan rebelled? I am now dying for my country and making trouble for my uncle.
Wang Fangyi was silent for a while and smiled and said, "Okay, then we won't leave."
Zhao Chiman was shocked and hurriedly said, "Ziman dare not implicate his brother!"
Wang Fangyi showed a bitter smile on his lips and said, "Don't forget that Brother Hui is not much better than you, and they may not let me go. Although you and I have not been able to live together, it would be great if we can die together. However, we cannot implicate other soldiers and let Brother Xuan Ce lead his troops back to the country, and we will stay here and fight to the end with our own family."
Zhao Chiman was stunned for a while, then nodded with tears in his eyes.
Although the Guanlong Group is already very corrupt, there are still some people who inherit the will of their ancestors.
This is why Han Yi wants to protect them. If Han Yi heard this, Han Yi would probably vomit blood in anger. They are now the backbone of Guanlong Group, and Han Yi has worked hard to protect them.
Mayi Mountain.
"So this is serious?"
Su Dingfang looked at Han Yi with a look of surprise.
Han Yi nodded slightly and said, "Maybe Your Majesty's edict is already on the way here."
After receiving the secret letter, he immediately rushed to the front line to tell Su Dingfang that it is very dangerous to sail on the sea surface now in winter, and it is difficult to contact front and back. If the main force on the front line retreats, they will become alone.
Liu Boying was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile bitterly on her face.
Liu Rengui also closed his eyes and sighed.
Although they are at the city, the enemy cannot hold on. They have no way to break the city yet, but this is expected. They know that it is not easy to break the city. After all, it is the capital of others, and their troops are also limited. As they enter the hinterland, they have to send some troops to station in the rear. For example, Jiang, this is a must-send troops, which means that the army to attack the city is 20,000. What they are now considering is how to give more pressure to Pyongyang and let Yoon Gaisuwen dispatch more troops to defend and create opportunities for the main force on the front line.
Now that the northwest region is full of war, the main front line will soon withdraw, and they really don’t know what to do.
Su Dingfang was even more confused. He had not achieved success yet, and the Protectorate there might have been lost. That was his base camp, but he was thousands of miles away and could not be saved.
The originally ambitious generals seemed to have fallen into the ice cellar in an instant.
Just then, one person listened to each other and said, "The war is not over yet, we can continue to fight."
When everyone saw Dugu Wuyue stood among us, he said excitedly: "Even if Your Majesty decides to withdraw his troops, he will only withdraw the main force on the Western Front. He will not withdraw us. We can continue to fight."
The main forces are all on the front line, and it is enough to withdraw the main forces from the front line to go back. They still have to take care of Baekje in the rear, and Li Zhi should not withdraw them.
Su Dingfang sighed: "Not whether we can break through Pyongyang City alone, even if we can, the main force must restrain the main force of the enemy in front. Otherwise, we will not be able to defeat the main force when the main force of the enemy comes back."
Dugu Wuyue said: "But Pyongyang is right in front of us. If we give up at this time, don't you feel sorry for you? Besides, your Majesty's edict is still in the future, and we still have time now."
Su Dingfang, Liu Boying, Liu Rengui and others all looked at Dugu Wuyue in surprise. Why did this handsome man who didn't talk much on weekdays become so excited today?
Little did he know that Dugu Wuyue had to wait for this day, so he dreamed of bringing the corpses of his children back to Guanzhong. This was his life wish. This is why he was very brave in fighting in front of him and always rushed to the front with Yuan Liehu. At this time, he was very unwilling to retreat.
Su Dingfang frowned and thought, it was right, it was too late for him to go back, so he couldn't stop at the shore and didn't catch anything, and said, "You're right. We should find a way to break through Pyongyang City as soon as possible, instead of packing our luggage."
Liu Boying and Liu Rengui also nodded firmly. Even Dugu Wuyue's little kid is like this, so he can't be compared by this little kid.
In this way, it is possible that they are the main force in the attack on Pyongyang, because the main force is likely to withdraw, but Han Yi doesn't know what Lee Ji will plan at the moment.
In the evening.
"Brother Han, look over there!"
Ono, who had just come out of the camp, suddenly pointed to the mountain road.
Han Yi looked up and saw Dugu Wuyue standing on the top of the mountain looking north, while Yuan Liehu was squatting beside him.
He sighed softly and walked up the mountain.
"If it can be realized easily, it cannot be said to be a dream. Some people have suffered countless setbacks for their dreams, and it is only the first time you have fought for your dreams."
Han Yi came behind Dugu Wuyue.
Dugu Wuyue turned her head and said, "But I have been waiting for a full ten years."
Han Yi said: "But we have to be responsible for our soldiers. This is not a fight between individuals. Some things cannot be forced."
Dugu Wuyue said: "Of course I know this, and I won't do this either, but we think we still have a chance to break through Pyongyang City."
Han Yixi said: "Where did you think of a solution?"
Yuan Liehu laughed and said, "Brother Han, do you think Wuyue is sad here? This is not Wuyue's style. We are discussing a plan to break the city here just now."
Han Yi said awkwardly: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Yuan Liehu said: "I want to hear how you will fool Wuyue."
"I'll settle the accounts later."
Han Yi said to Dugu Wuyue again: "What did you think of?"
Dugu Wuyue said: "The walls of Pyongyang City are strong and built against the mountains. Moreover, there are more defenders than ours, not to mention the countless people in the city. If I want to attack from the ground, it will be difficult to break through Pyongyang City."
Han Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "If you don't attack from the ground, where will you attack from?"
"In the sky."
Dugu Wuyue Road.
"God-you mean those pilots?"
"Um,"
Han Yi sighed: "They can only detect and investigate, but they do not have the ability to attack."
Dugu Wuyue said: "But I think it can increase their attack ability."
Han Yi said in surprise: "How do you say this?"
Dugu Wuyue pointed to the Pyongyang City in front and said, "The houses in Goguryeo are mostly thatched huts. This kind of house is the most taboo to attack fire. Pyongyang is surrounded by mountains and has high ground for our pilots to take off. If our pilots can throw fire into the city from the air, a fire can burn all the Pyongyang City, and we can attack the city in the chaos."
Today, Goguryeo's houses are all made of straw and wood, and they are really burning at a glance.
Damn! I can't tell that this guy is so cruel! So many people in the city are just burning it with fire? Han Yi felt creepy when he heard it, but at the same time he also felt that Dugu Wuyue was really a genius. He could think of such advanced tactics and launch an attack directly from the air.
But Dugu Wuyue is here to take revenge, so he doesn't care whether it will hurt the law of nature. The victory he pursues is a dream.
Yuan Liehu said, "I think this idea is feasible."
Han Yi said: "But the question is how to bring the fire up!"
Dugu Wuyue frowned and said, "I am not very clear about the glider. I am still trying to ask you for advice in this regard. My idea is to take the burning water up, and then ignite it in the air and throw it into the city."
Han Yi frowned and said, "This may be a bit difficult. First of all, the load bearing of the glider is limited and cannot be brought many. Secondly, it is also very difficult to ignite in the air. Finally, we brought 300 pilots here, and at most it was just burning one corner."
Yuan Liehu said: "Aren't you the best at this?"
"You think I am a god, and now I don't even have a windproof lighter. What do you want me to do?"
“What is a windproof lighter?”
"It's just a big rooster who can spit fire." Han Yi said without any ambiguity.
Yuan Liehu rolled his eyes when he heard this, as if he said, "It would be strange if he believed you."
Dugu Wuyue said: "But if we can succeed, we will conquer Pyongyang without any effort. We should at least try it out and see if it can be completed."
Chapter completed!
