    In the Battle of Liaohe, the Sui army was not well prepared, so the Zuotun Guards, who were the vanguard, suffered heavy losses. From General Mai Tiezhang down, Hu Benlang generals Qian Shixiong and Meng Jincha were all killed in the battle, and the main force suffered nearly 100 losses.  Thousands of people.

    Yang Guang was inexplicably sad about Mai Tiezhang's death, and even shed tears while supporting the body.  He also issued an edict: "The iron staff is ambitious and fruitful. He has served as a hero for a long time. He accompanies his subordinates to investigate the crimes. He is the first to enter the battle. He has high integrity and righteousness. His death will be preserved. His words are sincere and his memories and sorrows are mourning. It is appropriate to receive honors. Use praise to decorate your virtue."  The posthumous gift of Mai Tiezhang was to Dr. Guanglu, Su Gong, with the posthumous title of Ganglie; the posthumous gift of Qian Shixiong was Dr. Zuo Guanglu, General Youtunwei, and the Marquis of Wuqiang, with the posthumous title of Gang; the posthumous gift of Meng Jincha was the posthumous title of Dr. You Guanglu.

    Mai Mengcai, the eldest son of Mai Tiezhang, inherited the title and was named General Huya Lang of Zuotun Guard by Yang Guangte.  Huang Mingxin, who bravely seized the body of Mai Tiezhang, was also named the fourth-rank Zhengyi doctor by Yang Guang.  Huang Mingxin had the good fortune of being granted a personal title by the emperor, who did not grant minor officials.

    Although Mai Tiezhang died in the battle, the battle will still continue.

    Liaodong City (the northeastern corner of the old city of Liaoyang in Liaoyang today) was Xiangping City during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It was occupied by the Goguryeo people in the sixth year of Yixi (420) in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was the core city in the Northeast region from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the late Ming Dynasty.  Liaodong City was only more than ten miles away from the Liao River, and the main force of the Sui army arrived at Liaodong City in an instant.

    Responsible for guarding Liaodong City were Gao Jianwu, the younger brother of Gaoyuan, King of Yingyang of Goguryeo, and Jiang Yishi, the general of Goguryeo.  Jiang Yishi was a famous general in Goguryeo and a staunch fighter. He came from a famous family and had a high status in Goguryeo.  In the 18th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, Jiang Yishi waited for work and defeated the Sui army's navy that was busy on an expedition.

    At this time, Liaodong City gathered nearly 140,000 soldiers and horses, accounting for about one-third of the entire Goguryeo army, and all military power was controlled by Jiang Yishi.

    Jiang Yishi, who had defeated the Sui army before, did not think the Sui Dynasty was so scary.  In his opinion, although there were many soldiers in the Sui Dynasty, they came from afar and the old soldiers were tired, making it difficult to fight continuously.  Although his main purpose is to defend Liaodong City, he should dampen the vigor of the Sui army so that he can better defend the city.

    Therefore, Jiang Yishi led the main force of nearly 80,000 people to set up a large formation in the west of the city, preparing for a decisive battle with the main force of the Sui army.

    Goguryeo originated from the white mountains and black waters, and grew up in the jungles and mountains. Therefore, it was good at both cavalry and infantry. This is why compared to the huge grassland tribes, it is often easier for some small tribes originating from the northeast to gather strength and even take over.  Central Plains.  There were Murong and Tuoba before them, and Wanyan and Jianzhou behind them.

    Jiang Yishi took the initiative to form a decisive battle, which made the Sui army overjoyed.

    After hundreds of years of operation, Liaodong City has already become a high-rise city with a deep pool and perfect defense.  If you attack such a city, you will have to break your muscles and bones, so no one wants to be the first to attack the city.  Since Yang Su's battle in Lingzhou North, the Sui army preferred to use well-prepared cavalry for field battles. Jiang Yishi's reckless behavior was exactly what the Sui army wanted.

    In this battle, Yang Guang led the left and right armed guards as the vanguard, with 30,000 Jianghuai crossbowmen and 30,000 Lingnan platoonmen.  Huang Ming, the head coach of the Zuowu Wei Army, was far away, and the temporary commander-in-chief Su Wei was only in name. Two generals, Jing Yuanheng, were transferred, and Da Xihao was not qualified enough. Therefore, the head coach of this battle was General Li Jing of the Right Wuwei Army.

    In the fifth year of Daye, Li Jing and Guo Yan were reported to Yang Guang for their dissatisfaction, so they were dismissed by Yang Guang. It took more than a year before they were reinstated because of Huang Mingyuan's advice.  In the previous battle with Wu Liluo, the victory was based on cleverness, and the shining point was Huang Mingzhen. He actually did not have much credit, so this battle was also the battle where Li Jing regained his status.

    On the morning of May 18, the two sides lined up outside Liaodong City.

    Except for the 100,000 main force under Li Jing's command, the Sui army was behind the formation.  At this time, Li Jing's 20,000 troops formed the central army, while Da Xihao led the left Wuwei army with 20,000 troops as the left wing, Zhang Xin, the doctor of Youguanglu, led 30,000 Lingnan platoon soldiers as the right wing, and Chen Leng led 30,000 Jianghuai crossbowmen.  In front of the array.

    As for the army behind it, there was Yang Guang's Liuhe City. Yang Guang took Hosana Khan (Western Turks Nipu Luo Khan) and Gaochang King Qu Boya to stand on the top of the city to watch the formation.  Yang Guang was very confident about this battle, so he hoped to deter the two of them through this battle.

    Jiang Yishi on the opposite side saw that the Sui army still formed a large formation with crossbowmen in front and infantry behind them. He couldn't help but chuckle that the Sui army was still using the same tactics after so many years.

    Although the Sui army has achieved remarkable results in recent years, it has not fought a major battle with Goguryeo. Therefore, the Goguryeo people's impression of the Sui army still remains in the era of defeating cavalry with foot more than ten years ago.

    Today, in order to be safe, Li Jing deployed a defensive formation. If Huang Mingyuan deployed the formation, he would probably place the cavalry in prominent positions on both wings in order to encircle the opponent.

    Jiang Yishi looked at the Sui army and couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous. Since you want me to attack, I will attack for you.  He knew how to defeat a king like the Sui army.There is no good way to attack the shell formation, so the cavalry can only stick to it regardless of casualties.  As long as they rush to the front of the Sui army's formation, they can defeat the Sui army with cavalry and foot.  As for the cavalry of the Sui army, they were only used as auxiliary units for raiding formations.

    Jiang Yishi waved his command flag and ordered the former army commander An Dianbao to lead 20,000 elite troops to charge towards the Sui army.  Jiang Yishi had 140,000 troops guarding Liaodong City alone. He had less than 50,000 cavalry under his command. This time he brought them all out.

    This An Dian Bao is one of the most famous generals in Goguryeo. He has a face like red gold, a big nose on sorghum, and a wide mouth with silver teeth. He is said to have the ability to "push eight horses to the ground and drag nine oxen back to heaven." He is the most brave.

    At this time, the Goguryeo cavalry galloped straight towards the Sui army's position.  Li Jing, on the other hand, had firm eyes and a cold look in his eyes. He just waited for the Goguryeo cavalry to approach, then waved his hand and ordered the crossbowmen in front of the formation to fire.

    The Sui army's crossbows were the sharpest. Li Jing gave an order, and tens of thousands of arrows shot out like black clouds, as if they were going to collapse the sky.  An Dianbao also knew the sharpness of the Sui army's crossbows and did not dare to neglect them. He hurriedly bent down and leaned against the side of the horse to avoid them.

    Countless war horses still fell down one after another, kicking up countless amounts of dust.

    But for the cavalry, this is the price they have to pay before killing the light infantry.

    Eighty steps, seventy steps, sixty steps Seeing the Goguryeo cavalry moving forward bit by bit, they were about to hit the Sui army's crossbowmen.  Li Jing waved his hand, and the crossbowmen retreated. During the interval between the crossbowmen, the spearmen moved forward with their spears, setting up a solid spear formation.  Then countless giant shields behind the formation were inserted diagonally into the ground, forming a horse-holding posture to intercept the opponent.

    The galloping cavalry slammed into the rock-like infantry, and the two sides immediately strangled each other.  This situation was expected by the coaches of both sides. It depends on whether the Sui army's shield is stronger or the Goguryeo's spear is stronger.

    Seeing that the Chinese army was beginning to fight, Jiang Yishi decided not to give the Sui army any breathing space. So with a wave of his hand, he ordered the left and right cavalry and infantry to attack the two wings of the Sui army.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
