On the sixth day of the fifth month, on the morning of the morning, Quan Baicao and Sisi saw the battlefield full of corpses again, and their fear increased greatly.

They could not afford to lose this battle, and if they lost Goguryeo, they would be devastated. Therefore, this battle could not be fought like this. If they continue like this, they would definitely be eaten up by opponents with superior forces. The previous judgment was wrong, and they were probably not enough. They tried to use the tricks to drag and consume the enemy. However, they were hit by the enemy's thoughts and were confused and damaged, and if they did not change their strategy immediately, Quan Baicao and Sibian would not be able to be destroyed.

Quan Baicao and Sisi didn't want to retreat. Continuous battles, the enemy was tired of fighting and needed rest, which was the best opportunity for their side to withdraw back to the south bank of Dading River.

But at this moment, Yizhi Wende's order was delivered, and Gai Baowen had sent his army to support him, asking them to stick to the north bank of Dading River and fight the enemy to death, and never stop until they die.

Quan Baicao and Si immediately cut off the idea of ​​retreating without any hesitation, led their troops to line up against the Dading River, confronting the enemy, and waiting for assistance.

On the afternoon of the sixth day of the fifth month, Li Fengyun received an urgent report from the scout, and another enemy reinforcements came from Qingchuan.

At this time, let alone Li Fengyun, even the ordinary generals of the Andong Han Dynasty captured the enemy's surname, knew what the purpose of the enemy's continuous reinforcement was. They were to use the technique of adding oil to hold on to one side and continue to consume one's strength. When one side was exhausted and the food and grass were cut off and it was unsustainable, the enemy launched a fierce counterattack, and one blow was fatal.

"How many defenders are there in Qingchuan?"

This is Li Fengyun's doubt and the generals are puzzled. Qingchuan certainly does not have 50,000 defenders, but the fact is that during these five days, Qingchuan sent out a reinforcement every day, and each reinforcement is in scale of 10,000 people, which is enough to show that the number of Qingchuan defenders far exceeded previous expectations.

So, where did this army far exceed expectations come from? It must be Pyongyang, and Qingchuan received reinforcements from Pyongyang. Now the Yalu Water Defense Line is very tense, and the two sides confront each other across the river, so they are unable to take care of Qingchuan at all, so the only one who can provide strong support to Qingchuan is Pyongyang.

If this inference is correct, Pyongyang's defensive power will not be as strong as expected. This will undoubtedly help Li Fengyun to attack Pyongyang with the selection of the front-selected horse army and help the Anton army to capture Pyongyang. Therefore, Han Shi-ye, Luo Yi and Ashinadule all urged Li Fengyun to lead the selection of the front-selected horse army to cross the Sashui River as soon as possible.

"How many enemy troops are there in Qingchuan City now?"

Li Fengyun's entanglement on this issue attracted the attention of Han Shiyan, Luo Yi and Ashinaduer. The three of them focused and pondered. After a while, Luo Yi, who was more familiar with the Goguryeo and the Liaodong battlefield, was the first to discover the crux of the problem.

"The enemy continues to increase troops in Dadinghe. It seems that they have to fight both sides at any cost to both sides, but in fact they have another move. The purpose is to drag us down, and then eat it in one bite, lay the victory and decide the outcome in one battle." Luo Yi said, "Just like the Sashui War two years ago, the enemy continued to retreat, continuously consumed and exhausted us. When our food and grass were not continued and we retreated hastily, we suddenly took action and killed one blow."

Speaking of this, Luo Yi looked at Li Fengyun and said solemnly, "Now it is certain that Yizhi Wende is in Qingchuan City. No one except him dares to use the art of adding fuel, and no one dares to risk the loss of Qingchuan defense line to come out in full swing. Yizhi Wende's skill of adding fuel is definitely not stupidity, but to throw bait, set traps, and to catch us all in one place. The method is nothing more than to show the enemy to be weak first, and to sacrifice the Qingchuan defenders to consume and drag us down. At the same time, we are dispatched troops from other places and set ambushes on all sides, waiting for our food and grass to be exhausted and difficult to persist. When we have to retreat, we suddenly launched a fierce counterattack, pursuing and blocking, and putting us to death."

"Xiangyang's public statement is reasonable." Han Shiye nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Luo Yi's analysis, "When Qingchuan's troops were exhausted, in order to encircle and annihilate us, Yizhi Wende could only transfer more reinforcements from Pyongyang, and even draw troops from Yalu Water Defense Line. This situation is very beneficial to us."

Speaking of this, Han Shiye looked at Luo Yi with a sarcastic look on his face, "Is it possible that Xiangyang Public has a way to convince Yuwen Shu and let him cross the Yalu River with all his strength and meet with our Anton army in Pyongyang?"

Luo Yi ignored Han Shiye's sarcasm and continued to say to Li Fengyun, "If the speculation is correct, this battle will be easy to fight. We can take the initiative and always control the development of the battle."

Li Fengyun shook his hand, "I will lead my army to the east to cross the Sashui River tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, the enemy Qingchuan defense line will be in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides. In this unfavorable situation, if Yizhi Wende is in charge of Qingchuan, what is his countermeasure? Will he do his best to fight our army in the Dading River?"

Luo Yi hesitated and said, "Erzhi Wende will never give up on the Qingchuan defense line. Once the Qingchuan defense line is lost, the Yalu Water Defense Line will lose its support. Then our army in the Eastern Expedition will be able to reach the city of Pyongyang before the rainy season and win enough attack time. Goguryeo will definitely be destroyed, so even if Erzhi Wende is in a desperate situation, he will still defend Qingchuan."

Speaking of this, Luo Yi suddenly understood why Li Fengyun was worried. If Yizhi Wende defended Qingchuan to the death and Yuwen Shu was delayed in attacking, the Goguryeo army on the Yalu Water Defense Line would inevitably support it. In this way, the battle situation would be very unfavorable to the Anton Army, because the Anton Army had a fatal key, that is, the food and grass weapons would be cut off soon. Unless Li Fengyun led the selection of the front-strike horse army to create a miracle, conquering Pyongyang with lightning speed and giving Goguryeo a fatal blow, the Anton Army would definitely be trapped in the food and grass crisis, and eventually they could only hate the Dading River and be defeated.

The Anton Army must break the deadlock and rely on its own strength to break the deadlock. How to break it?

It is a dream to expect Li Fengyun to create a miracle and capture Pyongyang with lightning speed. Therefore, if the Anton Army wants to break the deadlock, the key is still on the Dadinghe battlefield, and it still has to defeat the enemy and fight quickly, forcing Pyongyang to do its best to support Qingchuan, and then create better combat opportunities for Li Fengyun. Even if it cannot capture Pyongyang, it must sweep across the surrounding areas of Pyongyang, plunder enough food and grass to alleviate its own crisis, or force Pyongyang to give up the Yalu Water Defense Line, so that the army in the east can cross the river and provide food and grass to Anton Army with food and grass.

However, Li Fengyun will cross the Sashui River tomorrow, and the one who succeeded him was Li Zixiong who rushed to help. However, can Li Zixiong absolutely control the command? The King of Qi and Li Zixiong come together, will the King of Qi compete for command? If the King of Qi insists on fighting for command and forms a fierce conflict with the generals of the Andong Han Dynasty, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Luo Yi looked at the silent Han Shiyan, then at the gloomy Ashinaduer, and said seriously, "Don't count on Yuwen Shu. If you want to win this battle, you can only rely on ourselves."

Han Shiye sneered and asked bluntly, "At the latest tomorrow night, the King of Qi will arrive at the battlefield. If King of Qi finds you first and asks you to accept his command and obey his orders, what will you do?"

Luo Yi hesitated for a moment and said tactfully, "Since the King of Qi has taken risks and visited the battlefield in person, his purpose is of course to win a battle, defeat Goguryeo, and make achievements. We are naturally following the people and fighting in blood."

"Well said." Han Shiye laughed, "In this way, you can stand aside and watch the fun, watch my Anton army fight in blood, and the corpses are everywhere. Then the King of Qi destroys Goguryeo, eliminates the contribution of the Anton army, and wins the trust of the Holy Lord again. And you have also been promoted to the position of the Holy Lord for your merits in assisting. As for my Anton soldiers, they can only bury their bones in the wilderness and be destroyed."

Luo Yi glanced at Li Fengyun with a blank expression and finally couldn't help but retort, "You can ignore the King of Qi, and the Andong army can do whatever they want, but once this battle is defeated, the King of Qi will certainly pay a heavy price, and the entire army may be wiped out, and how can the Andong army be safe?"

Han Shiye did not hesitate and confronted him tit-for-tat, "It is precisely because of this that I, Anton, have to control my own destiny. I can neither make wedding clothes for others, nor be framed by others."

"The enemy is in front of the enemy, and the decisive battle is imminent. We must unite and work together." Luo Yi pointed at Li Fengyun and asked sternly, "At such a critical moment, why did you insist on leaving the Dading River and personally lead the horse army to attack Pyongyang? As long as you stay in the Dading River, even if the King of Qi is determined to compete for command, it will be difficult for us to achieve complete results. This will undoubtedly help us win this battle."

Li Fengyun said nothing.

Ashinal was beyond endurance and asked sternly, "Who can command the Anton Cavalry? Can you do it? Can you command the Anton Cavalry to attack Pyongyang?"

As soon as this was said, Luo Yi was speechless. The composition of the Anton cavalry was very complicated. There were Turks, Donghu, horse thieves and bandits of various races, and nearly ten thousand taels controlled the strings. These rebellious wild brave men only recognized Li Fengyun and only followed Li Fengyun's orders. If they wanted to kill the surrounding areas of Pyongyang, the Han horse army that was coming and going like the wind was the most suitable, so Li Fengyun could not continue to stay in the Dadinghe battlefield.

So things become complicated, and if you want to simplify things, you will inevitably let the Andong people control the command. Only in this way can you protect the interests of Andong to the greatest extent, and the Andong army can do their best to fight this important battle that is related to life and death. However, under the current situation, if you want Li Zixiong, Han Shiye and others to firmly control the command of the battlefield, Luo Yi's attitude is very important.

So Luo Yi fell into a dilemma. Supporting King Qi is equivalent to taking the team, and it is also a political team. In the future, Luo Yi will not argue, and Dongdu will not give him a chance to defend himself, and he will be beaten to death with one stick. On the contrary, not supporting King Qi is equivalent to supporting Anton, and the result is also serious.

The more Luo Yi thought about it, the more angry he became, and he hated Cui Hongsheng who pushed him into the "pit".

However, the contradiction must be resolved in the end. This battle can only be won but not defeated, so Luo Yi can only choose the least of both evils and must make a choice. The best choice is undoubtedly to support Anton. Win this battle first and get real benefits first. However, if you are enemies of the King of Qi, your future interests will be difficult to guarantee. After all, the Holy Lord is just such a legitimate prince. Who dares to say that King of Qi is not the future monarch of Middle-earth? But in the current situation, if you cannot grasp the immediate interests, the future will be gone, so Luo Yi actually has no second choice at all.
