Chapter 358

The Goguryeo people were quickly disintegrating and fleeing. On the entire battlefield, almost only the excited cheers and roars of victory from the Sui Dynasty warriors were left.

However, considering that we had already fought two battles in a row and our soldiers were exhausted, Lai Huer strictly ordered not to pursue the enemy and retreated to the camp.

After two battles, the 15,000 Sui Tigers were really excited, but they were also too tired to stand it.

Even if I came to protect my children and ordered a pursuit, I'm afraid everyone would be powerless.

Many soldiers were already exhausted and relied on the support of their companions to stagger back to the camp.

The dead and wounded soldiers of Goguryeo were left on the spot. The seriously injured were dying and waiting for death. The lightly injured staggered towards the way they came.

Lai Huer returned to the camp and drank a few large sips of water, wiped off the blood on his hands and face with water, and then breathed out happily.

He saw Yang Qian coming quickly, jumped off his mount, nodded and praised Yang Qian.

"Today, Supervisor Yang's bravery in killing the enemy really makes me admire him. He is indeed a bit as powerful as Mr. Han in the past."

"The general is ridiculously complimentary, but the subordinates are only doing their duty.

All our officers and soldiers from the Sui Dynasty fought bravely to take the lead in this battle. They showed no fear in the face of powerful enemies, which is why we achieved this victory."

"Haha, okay, Supervisor Yang doesn't have to be so modest. In this battle, the enemy's cavalry on the right wing is twice as many as ours, and there is a general in charge.

However, Yang Jianjun and Qin Changshi were not afraid and attacked the enemy bravely, defeating their right wing first and holding back the enemy general."

"This allowed me to make calm arrangements and win the victory in one fell swoop. Therefore, Qin Changshi and Yang Jianjun should take the lead in this battle. Do the generals have any objections?"

"Commander, the general has no objections." Lai Zheng, the son of General Lai with a rather happy name, was the first to jump out.

Soon, he ranked first in Ding Gong, and Yang Qian was not polite and accepted the favor from the general.

After taking the camp, Lai Hu'er finally did not continue the advance, but only sent the detective cavalry sentry to Pyongyang City for reconnaissance.

After the baggage and materials arrived, Fei Qingnu and five thousand troops were left behind, and the army withdrew to the dock camp for repairs.

After Luo Shixin and Li Shimin heard the news brought back by their companions who participated in the war,

They no longer clamored to go to the battlefield, but they became more diligent in practicing sword, stick and archery every day.

As for lazy people like Hou Junji, they don't dare to slack off at all now.

The Goguryeo people did not let Lai Huer get what he wanted. The detective horses of the Sui Dynasty were completely blocked by the Goguryeo people, thirty miles away from the edge of the Goguryeo city.

Unable to figure out the depth of the opponent, Lai Huer finally gave up the thought of taking a few days' rest and then marching forward.

By the time the third and subsequent troops landed here, the strength of the dock camp already numbered 70,000.

Lai Hu'er then decided to wait for the newly arrived army to rest for two days before sending out troops again, leaving 20,000 horses to guard the camp and personally leading the main force of 50,000 to go out.

But this time, Zhou Fashang strongly requested to go with him. Although Lai Huer was the head coach, he couldn't deny the deputy general manager.

Since the target this time is the royal city of Goguryeo, Yang Qian will naturally lead the Wanjun Thunder Chariot to follow.

Lai Huer could only choose another old and prudent general to take charge of the camp to prevent Goguryeo from breaking the net and cutting off his own escape route.

He also strictly ordered the navy to conduct strict inspections and not to slack off. Although most of the Goguryeo navy had been wiped out, after all, the opponent still had warships hiding upstream. In short, be careful and sail the Wannian Ship.

Seeing Lai Huer's arrangement, Yang Qian was secretly relieved. At least he didn't have to worry about his future.

The only thing I'm worried about is whether there will be any monsters before arriving at Pyongyang City.

"Yang Jianjun, tell me, will we be blocked by Goguryeo soldiers and horses this time?"

Zhou Fashang, who looked a little worried, stepped out of the Chinese army's tent and asked Yang Qian.

Yang Qian, who had long made repeated calculations with Li Jing and others, smiled bitterly.

"I'm afraid that nine times out of ten, there will still be a defeat, and maybe it will be a more tragic loss than the last time.

Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make the general feel that he underestimates the enemy."

"And this time, maybe a big fish will be thrown out."

Zhou Fashang's pupils shrank. "It is indeed possible. Maybe he will be a prominent minister of Goguryeo, or a brother and heir of the king."

Changsun Wuji, standing behind Yang Qian, said calmly.

"I think that if the other side is ruthless enough, then just let the general encounter Goguryeo King Gowon and his army on the way..."

Everyone present couldn't help but subconsciously glance sideways at the plump Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji spread his hands with an innocent face.

"I'm just saying that it is possible. After all, if Pyongyang is really captured by the Sui Dynasty, it will be a huge blow to Goguryeo's morale."

"It may even shake the foundation of the country, so consider the worst case scenario."

"Yang Jianjun, do you think it will be possible?" Zhou Fashang calmed down and asked Yang Qian.

Yang Qian thought about it for a long time, but he was not sure whether King Gao Yuan of Goguryeo would be so bold.

"I can't tell. If Gao Yuan is really a decisive person, I'm afraid he's really good at taking risks."

Zhou Fashang could only shake his head and sigh.

"Come on, when the time comes, we can only act according to the situation. I hope the commander-in-chief won't stumble because of small profits."

Seeing Zhou Fashang saying goodbye, Yang Qian felt helpless and went straight back to the camp.

At the same moment, Liaodong Liaohe River, at this moment, tens of thousands of Sui Dynasty soldiers and craftsmen were spread out on the west bank of Liaohe River like insects and ants.

After busy shuttle work, five two-foot-wide floating bridges have been built so that they are less than ten feet away from the other side of Liao River.

At this moment, in the dense forest on the east coast, there are countless Goguryeo armored elites and countless Mohe archers lurking.

They all hid their figures under the towering ancient trees, and stared at the five pontoons that were getting closer and closer to the east coast with their cold, dark eyes.

After the Sui people decided to build a pontoon bridge at the narrow spot of the Liao River, Goguryeo's commander-in-chief, Eulji Mundeok (Prime Minister), came to reconnoiter the enemy's situation immediately.

Five thousand Goguryeo elites and three thousand of the best Mohe archers were sent to ambush here, making sure to give those arrogant Sui people a hard blow head-on.

At this moment, Eulji Zhenggwang, the commander of the ambush, was also hiding behind the tree, letting the messengers roam around to warn the soldiers not to act rashly.

Get even closer, so close that they completely lose their vigilance, and then they can cause the most fatal damage.

Eulji Zhengguang licked his dry lips, glanced at the five floating bridges, and then cast his gaze to the other side of the river.

Over there, nearly thirty tall and majestic wooden structures, like Lu Gong's car, have been erected.

However, Eulji Zhengguang really couldn't figure out what the Sui army meant by erecting that thing on the other side of the river dozens of feet away.

At this moment, Yu Wenshu on the other side of the river was stroking his thick gray beard, squinting his cunning eagle eyes, and looking at the dense jungle on the other side of the river...
