Chapter 51 The war begins

"Sir, this won't work."

"Yes, sir, we will be trapped to death soon."

"Sir, can you find a way? Otherwise, our scouts will be all over."

...

In the Goguryeo military camp, various generals surrounded Yuan Taizuo's tent, with anxious expressions on their faces. The entire tent seemed to have become a vegetable market, full of noises.

In just a few days, Goguryeo lost hundreds of scouts. These scouts were the most elite cavalry in Goguryeo, and the entire camp was only more than one thousand people. If this continues, all scouts would be killed or injured. Without scouts, the entire camp would become a deaf and blind man, and the front camp would last for more than ten miles. How could the scouts be inspected?

In addition, the military camp now has insufficient food, so the food is only enough for more than ten days. Now, we are stepping up the search for food and grass from ordinary people to deliver it to the front line. If there is a problem with the grain channel, the camp will collapse on its own after more than ten days.

This is simply terrible. The only effective counterattack is to strengthen the scout's power, or to fight the three-national coalition forces as soon as possible. However, the scouts are now in groups of five, and even if all scouts are sent out, it may not be enough. Unless they are drawn from the cavalry, the cavalry is extremely precious, but not everyone can use it as scouts. If you use it barely, the casualties will be even worse. If you fight against the Three-national coalition forces, the other side will have an advantage in the number of cavalrymen, and the risks they take are too great.

If he had withdrawn earlier, he would not have fallen into a dilemma now. Yuan Taizuo showed a little regret in his heart, but his face remained silent and asked Gao Jianwu: "What should I do?"

Gao Jianwu smiled slightly on his face and beat him up, and said, "Master Mo Lizhi, I only care about the navy. At present, the great man is the head of the army. How to advance and retreat, the great man still needs to be the master."

Gao Jianwu is not a fool, so how could he hold this hot mountain jiu into his hands? Yuan Taizuo was prepared for Gao Jianwu's answer, but he was not disappointed. He looked at the passionate general in the tent and said, "Everyone, the Sui army is powerful, and Baekje and Silla are helping each other. At present, the Sui army crossing the river is only one-third of its strength. There is Beishui in front of our army, and there is no reinforcements available. Is it a battle? Retreat? Everyone can decide together."

As soon as Yuan Taizuo's words fell, the generals looked at each other. They were thinking about Lord Mo Lizhi making an idea, but they didn't expect Lord Mo Lizhi to throw the problem back. If he attacked Baekje or Silla, everyone would have nothing to say. But when facing the Sui army, no one would have the confidence to win. Fighting or retreating is not a complete solution.

Gao Yanshou stood up and said, "Sir, fight, I'm not willing to be the pioneer."

Unfortunately, no one took over Gao Yanshou's words, and the situation was still in a cold situation in the big tent. An aide came in and whispered a few words to Yuan Taizuo. Yuan Taizuo's face flashed with surprise and turned to everyone and said, "Let's wait a moment. I want to go out to deal with an urgent matter. I hope you can come up with the idea of ​​fighting and retreating before I come back."

After Yuan Taizuo finished speaking, he opened the tent and left without waiting for everyone to ask questions. Everyone in the tent was very confused. They didn't know what major events had happened to make Lord Mo Lizhi discuss the matter of General Mo Lizhi's decision to leave. Moreover, there was King Rongliu who was higher than him in the tent. For a moment, everyone could not help but whisper and looked at Gao Jianwu with their eyes from time to time. As for Yuan Taizuo's request to everyone to fight and withdraw their ideas, everyone put it behind and made up their minds to wait for Lord Mo Lizhi to come back.

"Prince, look, is Lord Mo Lizhi a little too disrespectful?" A confidant said in a nagging beside Gao Jianwu.

Gao Jianwu glared at his confidant and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up." He didn't want to make any decision at this time.

Yuan Taizuo left for a long time, almost an hour later. When everyone was almost impatient, they returned to the camp. Attentive people discovered that Yuan Taizuo's face was swept away with the original disturbance.

"What do you guys discuss?"

"Master Mo Lizhi, we all want to listen to the orders of the master."

"Okay, okay." Yuan Taizuo had no intention of being angry about this obvious nonsense, but instead praised it. Everyone's eyes were filled with surprise, but before they could figure it out, Yuan Taizuo's order had begun to be issued: "All the generals obey the order!"

"The last one will be there."

"Immediately, the scouts will be contracted and only patrol within five miles of the camp. After you go back, you can let the soldiers have enough food. The camp will no longer restrict military rations. After resting for three days, you will fight to the death with the enemy!"

"Zoom the order." Everyone realized something after answering, and looked at Yuan Taizuo foolishly. In the past two months, although everyone had confronted the Sui army across the river, they had not had much contact. However, Liaodong City was defeated, the capital was surrounded, and the navy was completely overthrown. A series of failures had seriously damaged everyone's confidence. Everyone had planted a shadow of failure in their hearts, and subconsciously did not want to fight the Sui army. Yuan Taizuo's order undoubtedly went against everyone's wishes.

But after discussing for a long time, we didn't get a conclusion, but no one could object at this time. I just said a few words but still didn't say anything.

"Everything goes down and prepare." Yuan Taizuo had waved his hand to drive away people.

Everyone had to come out one after another, and they all guessed in their hearts. I wonder why Lord Mo Lizhi suddenly became full of confidence, but no one found out in the next few days.

The scouts of the Goguryeo people suddenly contracted, and the entire Beishui coast were filled with scouts of the Sui army. For a moment, the scouts of the Sui army became without opponents. The most unpleasant ones were naturally those who were determined to make meritorious contributions like Luo Shixin. They did not know what they saw when they saw it, and approached step by step. However, the scouts of the Goguryeo retreated again and again, five miles, four miles... gradually approached the Goguryeo camp, and the Sui army was helpless. No matter how capable they were, they did not have the courage to rush into the other party's camp.

After receiving the news that the Goguryeo people were guarding the camp, Yu Zhongwen, Li Hun and others disagreed and did not care. Their mission was only to deal with the Goguryeo cavalry. The camp was naturally a matter of Silla and Baekje. It would be better for the Goguryeo people to be trapped in the camp.

Three days passed quickly. Early in the morning, the scouts of the Sui army discovered something was wrong with the Goguryeo camp. The soldiers came and went, and the camp gate was wide open. Teams of Goguryeo soldiers drove out of the camp, heading towards the coalition camp.

"What? The Goguryeo people left the camp. Hurry up and informed Baekje and Silla immediately, and prepare to face the enemy!" Yu Zhongwen, Li Hun and others who received the news were overjoyed. They were happy to see such a battle between the two armies.

The 80,000 Goguryeo army came out in full swing, with 10,000 cavalry on both sides, and 60,000 infantry in the middle. The coalition was even more unwilling to be outdone, leaving only a small number of people to stay in the barracks. Silla dispatched 60,000 infantry, Baekje dispatched 30,000 infantry, Sui army dispatched 40,000 cavalry, Silla was on the right, Baekje was in the middle, and Sui army was on the right, a total of 130,000 troops pressed towards Goguryeo, and the two sides met in the middle.

The south bank of Beishui was originally fertile land, but now it has become a wasteland. Fortunately, it is here. Otherwise, more than 200,000 troops from both sides would gather together, and it would be too difficult to find a place on the peninsula where you can completely set the formation.

Through hundreds of distances, both sides stopped tacitly and looked down from the sky. Goguryeo's military uniforms were black, Silla's military uniforms were patterned, and Baekje's military uniforms were blue. Only the Sui army was particularly conspicuous, completely red. Forty thousand Sui army advanced on horse stairs, with a uniform man and horse, and the momentum alone was one end higher than the Three Kingdoms army.

Quiet, it can only be said that quiet is terrible. The battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people cannot even hear any sound. It seems that everyone cannot breathe, and even the war horses stop sniffing. A depressing atmosphere envelops the entire battlefield. This atmosphere begins to brew when the two armies enter their respective eyes. When both sides stop, they reach their peak.

However, everyone knew that this atmosphere would not exist for too long. Everyone was waiting for his outbreak. Once it broke out, it would immediately become a battlefield with flesh and blood. Either you die or I die.

"Zheng." Yuan Taizuo pulled out his long sword from his waist and pointed it at the sky. Goguryeo has the tradition of fighting generals. At that time, Princess Pingkang's fiancé Wenda was invincible and killed Silla in front of the two armies. Dozens of generals from Baekje made the generals of the two countries look scared when talking about Wenda. Unfortunately, such an invincible brave general died under the arrows of the Sui army, which made the Goguryeo people feel heartbroken, and Princess Pingkang even swears not to marry.

All the Goguryeo people looked at Yuan Taizuo's long sword to see who Lord Mo Lizhi would send to challenge the first game.

"Sir, please order the last general to fight." A general flashed out.

When Yuan Taizuo saw that the person who came out was just a side general surnamed Li. He was supposed to disagree. If he was defeated for the first time, he would lose his temper. However, if he disagrees, he is afraid that the side general will be cold, so he nodded: "Be careful."

"Yes, thank you for your concern." The Li general bowed his hand and rushed towards the Sui army.
