    By the beginning of July, although Liaodong City was in danger numerous times, the Sui army still failed to capture the city.  Jiang Yishi led the entire city to mobilize troops and repelled the Sui attacks time and time again.  Although the Sui army was in sufficient numbers, it did not have a qualified command center to coordinate. Therefore, they fought independently, and their attacks were chaotic. They were unable to exert the combat effectiveness of the army at all. In the end, they achieved half the result with twice the result.

    At this time, Yang Guang was also quite helpless. He still could not capture Liaodong City, and the planned march plan could not be carried out. Seeing that the days passed, the conquest of Goguryeo could not start in a hurry.

    At this time, someone came up with a plan. Liaodong City is an isolated city, which can allow the army to cross Liaodong City and attack Pyongyang. The main force of the Goguryeo people will be defeated. Liaodong City will not be defeated.

    Yang Guang also felt that he had lost face, and was overjoyed when he heard this, so he followed it.

    Yang Guang ordered that Yu Wenshu, the internal history officer, be the chief marching officer of Fuyu Road and lead 45,000 troops out of Fuyu Road;

    General Youyiwei Yu Zhongwenjia, the general manager of the Lelang Road march, led 45,000 troops out of Lelang Road;

    ??Cui Hongsheng, the general of the right imperial guard, was appointed as the general manager of the Suicheng Road march, and led an army of 35,000 people out of Suicheng Road;

    General Zuo Xiaowei, Du Gulan, joined the marching commander of Liaodong Road and led an army of 30,000 people out of Liaodong Road;

    ??????? General of the Inspection School Zuo Houwei, General Manager of Pingzhou, Huang Mingzhen, General Manager of the March at Woju Road, led an army of 30,000 people, and marched out of Woju Road;

    General Xin Shixiong of Zuotun Guard and the marching commander of Xuantu Road led 30,000 troops out of Xuantu Road;

    General Zhang Jin of the Left Imperial Guard and the marching commander of Xiangping Road led an army of 30,000 people out of Xiangping Road;

    You Wuhou General Zhao Xiaocai joined the Jieshi Road marching general and led 30,000 troops out of the Jieshi Road;

    General Zuo Wuwei, Da Xihao, appointed the general manager of the tunnel march and led 30,000 troops out of the tunnel.

    The entire army of 35,000 men finally gathered on the west bank of Yalu River.

    The army of more than 300,000 people came from the east in a mighty manner. It can be said that they threw a whip to cut off the flow.  The Goguryeo people along the way did not dare to stop them, so the Sui army marched all the way to Wugu City (today's Bianmen Town, Fengcheng, Liaoning).

    ??Wugucheng is the gateway to Yalu River, and the guard is Eulji Zang, the son of Eulji Mundeok.

    The cities of the Goguryeo people were mostly built in steep places with mountains and rivers.  Wugu City uses the cliffs of the left and right mountains as walls, and wedge-shaped stones are used to build city walls in the valleys of the mountains.  A high wall of earth and stone was built horizontally at each entrance in the south and west. The city had an outer city and an inner city. The outer city was built section by section along the ridge, in an oval shape, and part of it was built with cliffs as walls.

    The defenders of Wugu City were in danger. The Sui army came from afar and attacked several times, but could not break the city.

    It¡¯s not that the Sui army was in vain, it was because Wugu City relied on the cliff terrain, resulting in an extremely narrow frontal space, and the Sui army¡¯s siege troops could not form a favorable formation at all.

    At this time, Huang Mingzhen asked the coach Yu Zhongwen to bypass the cliff and raid Wugu City from behind.  Although Yu Wenshu was the prime minister and a confidant of the emperor, with the highest status, in order to limit his power, Yang Guang sent Yu Zhongwen to advise the armies on the grounds that he was good at strategy and became the de facto commander of the army.

    Although Yu Zhongwen has a grudge against Huang Mingyuan, he also knows that it is not appropriate to cause trouble at this time.  Huang Mingzhen's suggestion was indeed helpful to break the situation, so Yu Zhongwen followed it.

    Among the nine generals, Yu Zhongwen and Yuwenshu have the highest status, while Jing Yuanheng and Dugu Lan rank as the first-guard generals, which are similar to them.  Among the remaining five, Zhang Jin was from the Guanlong family and was the oldest; Zhao Xiaocai was a confidant of the emperor; only Huang Mingzhen, Xin Shixiong, and Da Xihao lacked status and qualifications.

    Huang Mingzhen thought to himself that in the next battle, Yu Zhongwen and Yu Wenshu would deliberately harm his troops, so he took the initiative to ask for a battle this time in order to be able to legitimately shirk some unreasonable tasks in the subsequent battles.

    After Huang Mingzhen accepted the order, he quietly led his troops northward and sneaked into the mountains on the north side of Wugu City.

    Huang Mingzhen¡¯s 30,000 troops include 15,000 Pingzhou troops and 15,000 Youzhou troops.  Huang Mingzhen selected 3,000 soldiers who were good at climbing, and ordered Lu Huiyan, the general of Youzhou Huyalang, to lead a surprise attack on Wugu Mountain at night.

    The mountains are high and the rocks are dangerous, and the roads are unclear. I don¡¯t know how many people died on the cliffs.

    When Lu Huiyan led his men to climb up the cliff, he lowered the rope and lowered a large number of Sui troops up.  As expected, Euljizang relied on the natural dangers of the cliffs and was unprepared for them.

    Huang Mingzhen led his troops to suddenly attack the city from behind.  Wugu City uses cliffs as walls, making the city extremely steep, but it also makes the city located in a low part of the cliff, with half of the city under the cliff.

    The Sui army continued to throw stones into the city, killing and injuring countless people.

    Although Euljizang is the son of Euljiwendeok, he is more capable.His father Eulji Mundeok was too far behind.  The Sui army suddenly made a surprise attack, but Euljizang had no time to react.

    At this time, the city was in chaos, and the main force of the Sui army outside the city heard the movement and began to attack the city one after another.

    There were constant killings inside and outside Wugu City. Eulji was hiding among the rebels and had to abandon the city to break out of the siege.  The Goguryeo army without the turtle shell was no match for the Sui army, so it was defeated and scattered.

    Euljizang led thousands of troops to break out and surrendered to his father Euljiwende to the east. The natural and dangerous Wugu City fell into the hands of the Sui army.

    The Sui army broke through Wugucheng and finally had a stronghold eastward to confront Ulji Mundeok.  Yu Zhongwen then ordered all the troops to garrison grain, grass and baggage in Wugu City.

    Because the armies were not under their own control and were inconvenient to command, Yu Zhongwennai and Yu Wenshu discussed reorganizing the armies.  Yu Zhongwen used his Lelang Army and Zhao Xiaocai's Jieshi Army as the middle army; Yu Wenshu's Fuyu Army as the left army; Cui Hongsheng's Suicheng Army and Da Xihao's Zengdi Army as the right army; Dugu Lan's Liaodong Army and Xin Shixiong's  Xuantu's army is the front army; Zhang Jin's Xiangping army and Huang Mingzhen's Woju army are the rear army.

    The three armies are well organized and full of fighting spirit.

    At this time, the Goguryeo reinforcements coming from the inner city in the north were not far from Wugu City.  However, the Sui army was so powerful that the Goguryeo reinforcements in the inner city did not dare to take the initiative to attack.

    The Sui army began to leave Wugu City and attack Yalu River, while the Goguryeo reinforcements from the inner city hung behind the Sui army, ready to bite off a piece of meat from the Sui army like hyenas.

    Everyone is worried that once the main force leaves Wugu City, Wugu City, as the logistics center, will be attacked by this Goguryeo force.

    But everyone turned back to pursue this group of people, and these people fled to avoid fighting.

    At this time, Yu Zhongwen ordered to select thousands of thin horses and donkeys and put them behind the army. Everyone was puzzled.  When the main force of the Sui army continued eastward, the Goguryeo people following the Sui army suddenly attacked.  At this time, Yu Zhongwen ordered the rear army to fight back immediately, and as expected they met the Goguryeo people.

    The two sides fought fiercely, but the Goguryeo people were defeated and were defeated by the Sui army.

    It turns out that Yu Zhongwen deliberately selected thin horses and donkeys to show the enemy's weakness, making the enemy think that the Sui army's rear army was all old and weak, and luring the local area to attack.  The Goguryeo people fell into the trap and were defeated by the Sui army.

    The Sui army relieved its worries and headed eastward to the west bank of Yalu River.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
