Chapter 95: His Royal Highness King Qi sends you 50,000 soldiers and horses(2/2)
"Isn't it?" Li Yuanji said: "When can you Goguryeo take out 50,000 troops at will? If you transfer five troops, you may have to take time north of Sashui!"
"Misunderstanding...misunderstanding!" Yuan Su Gaiwen smiled and said, "His Highness King Qi really misunderstood. The 50,000 troops I mentioned are not our Goguryeo people, but the Sui army!"
In the eighth year of Daye, Yang Guang personally went to the south of Liaodong City to watch the battle. The general came to Hu'er to report to Yang Guang that the 40,000 naval army landed on the Korean Peninsula. In order to attack Lai Hu'er from north to south, Yang Guang ordered Yu Wenshu, Yu Zhongwen, the General of the Right Guard, Jing Yuanheng, the General of the Left Guard, Xue Shixiong, the General of the Left Guard, Xin Shixiong, the General of the Left Guard, Zhang Jin, the General of the Right Guard, Zhao Xiaocai, the General of the Right Guard, Cui Hongsheng, the General of the Left Guard, and Wei Wensheng, the General of the Right Guard, led the nine troops to cross the Liao River from Huaiyuan Town (near Liaozhong, Liaoning), and crossed the city of Goguryeo, and advanced towards the Yalu River, and cooperated with the navy to attack Pyongyang.
However, in the Sashui River (now Datong River), when the Yizhi Wendeleiba Tun River was encountered, the nine armies were flooded by the Yizhi Wende River. At that time, the Sui army was defeated. When Yuwen Shu led the remnants to retreat to Liaodong City, the Sui army had only more than 2,700 troops left, and almost lost all its equipment.
At that time, the 300,000 Sui army was completely destroyed without a flood. After all, the 300,000 army stretched for a hundred miles, and the water from the Datong River could not form a hundred miles of peak. However, the Sui army was defeated like a mountain. In addition to tens of thousands of people being injured or killed, tens of thousands of people were captured by Goguryeo.
Of course, Goguryeo is not a good bird. They caught tens of thousands of Sui army prisoners, and although they did not kill them directly, they were tortured in every way.
Now more than ten years have passed, and only 50,000 or 60,000 Sui soldiers who were captured by Goguryeo were left (in history, Li Shimin failed in the Eastern Expedition and was killed by Goguryeo and built into Jingguan)
Yuansu Gavin looked at Li Yuanji and said solemnly: "Fifty thousand soldiers and horses, fifty thousand sets of armor and equipment, this is my sincerity. Have you seen enough?"
Li Yuanji was calm on the surface, but storm was stirring up in his heart.
The Sui army's equipment was not weaker than that of the Tang army. The only difference was the quality. If there were 50,000 soldiers in hand, it would be different.
