    On the east bank of Yalu River, there is a camp of Goguryeo people.

    Under the protection of a group of personal guards, Ulji Mundeok finally returned to the camp.  At this time, his eldest brother Wenda, who was taking over the command in the camp, welcomed him into the tent.

    "Last night in the evening, some scouts discovered the body of the general's guard on the other side. They thought something bad had happened to the general. I am finally relieved that the general has returned today."

    Eulji Wende dared to risk going deep into the Sui army camp not because he was gambling with the safety of the Goguryeo people, but because Onda arrived and could take over the entire army in his place.  Even if he was detained, the Goguryeo army would not collapse.

    Eulji Wende waved his hand and said: "I survived a narrow escape. I habitually made two preparations, but I didn't expect them to come in handy. This time, it's thanks to the Sui army that they didn't attack me at first, otherwise I would never have survived."

    Eulji Wende was a little scared when he thought about it. This time he really took a risk.

    "General, how powerful is the Sui army?"

    Eulji Wende shook his head and said with some worry: "The strength of the Sui army is rare. Although our army has been in battle for a long time, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with the Sui army. This battle will be difficult."  ¡±

    After hearing this, On Dal felt a little depressed. He had already known about the battle of Pyongyang City that day, but this time when he heard it from Eulji Munduk's mouth, he was still a little sad.

    "Wen Da, don't worry, you have defeated the Sui people."

    Eulji Wende stepped forward and patted On Dal on the shoulder and smiled: "Although the Sui people are powerful, they are not invincible. In fact, I have found a way to deal with the Sui people."

    Eulji Moondeok continued: "Just like Ondal said, this time I went to the Sui army camp and found that the Sui army generally regarded our army as nothing, and was subordinate to the commander-in-chief, and was extremely arrogant. And the most important point, I found that the Sui army  There is not enough food in the army. If they force themselves to advance, this will be the key to defeating the enemy."

    Wen Da¡¯s eyes lit up after hearing this.

    "What the general said is absolutely true. Since the Sui army is short of food, we should put the Sui army east of the Yalu River. Our army will block the Sui army with high walls and use up their food. Then we will cut off the Sui army.  If we return, the Sui army will be defeated without attacking."

    Eulji Wende nodded.

    Eulji Mundeok himself was also a foreigner, so although Ondal was not of high origin, he was very optimistic about him. He also hoped to use Ondal to fight against local forces such as Yeon Taejo and Kang Isik.

    "I am prepared to lose a few more battles, so that the Sui army can rest assured. Since the whole Sui army is arrogant, then we will let him be arrogant to the sky."

    The two laughed.

    Wenda looked at the map and suddenly said: "General Eulji, what do you think if we set the main battlefield to Pyongyang City?"

    Eulji Wende was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Ondal and saw the determined look on his face.

    To be fair, retreating to Pyongyang is the best choice. Pyongyang has a tall city and more than 100,000 troops retreating to Pyongyang. There is no need to worry about the main camp being breached by the Sui army.

    Moreover, when the Goguryeo people retreated all the way to Pyongyang, they still had two lines of defense, the Sa River and the Xushui River. The Sui army's logistical supplies would be stretched hundreds of miles, and the long and narrow road from the Yalu River to Pyongyang City would be hundreds of miles long.  , will be the death place of the Sui army.

    But despite all the benefits, it is Pyongyang after all.

    Eulji Mundeok said with a complicated expression: "General Ondal, do you know what it will mean once the Sui army enters Pyongyang City?"

    "It will mean that Goguryeo has no way to retreat."

    Wenda said categorically: "We just want all Goguryeo people to abandon all unrealistic illusions. The people in Pyongyang have already experienced the tragedy of the Sui army entering the city once, if they don't want to experience it again."

    On Dal held Eulji Munduk¡¯s hand tightly and said, ¡°General, we have no way to retreat.¡±

    Eulji Mundeok was finally convinced by Ondal.

    The two of them split up to deploy their troops. Eulji Mundeok led the main force of 80,000 people to continue to set up defenses at Yalu River. These people were the entire force to lure the enemy deep into the city, and they were also the entire force to defend Pyongyang City.

    Wenda led an army of 50,000 people to go south, and then hid to the east. These troops would suddenly appear behind the Sui army after the Sui army went south.

    Eulji Wende knew that all the Sui armies were capable generals, capable of conquering and fighting, but they might not be able to go all the way south as he wanted.  Wen Da was also worried that the other party would see through the plan to lure the enemy.

    Eulji Mundeok said: "If we want the Sui army to follow our ideas, we will continue to lose. We will be overwhelmed by the defeat and feel numb after the defeat. Only in this way will they believe that our army is really  Lack of strength.¡±

    So although we have to retreat, Eulji MoonHe ordered people to set up defenses at Yalu River, and they arranged them carefully so that the Sui army would not see any flaws.

    At this time, Yu Zhongwen ordered the Sui army to continue marching eastward and arrived at the Yalu River.  Yu Zhongwen sent people across the river and asked Eulji Wende to lead the entire army to surrender.

    Eulji Mundeok still practiced Tai Chi and asked the Sui army for grace.

    This time the Sui army remained unmoved, and Yu Zhongwen directly ordered Dugu Lan's Liaodong Army and Xin Shixiong's Xuantu Army to forcibly cross the Yalu River.

    Eulji Wende was also very serious about defending at the beginning, and he was even prepared to sacrifice tens of thousands of people to make the Sui army fall into the trap.

    The Goguryeo people repelled five attacks by the Sui army, leaving corpses floating all over the river.

    Yu Zhongwen was also feigning an attack at this time. On the second day, Cui Hongsheng's Suicheng Army took a large number of sampan boats along the coastline and crossed the Yalu River Estuary to the other side.

    Eulji Wende was shocked. Although he was preparing to fake defeat, he did not expect to be defeated. Once the Sui army dragged his main force and the rest of the troops crossed the river, he would be surrounded and killed on the bank of Yalu River.

    At this time, Ulji Mundeok couldn't care about anything and hurriedly ordered the main army to retreat. All the food was burned and all kinds of materials were abandoned.

    The Goguryeo people fled southward for dozens of miles in embarrassment before barely holding on to their position.

    Cui Hongsheng¡¯s Suicheng army did not continue to pursue the Goguryeo people, but instead stood firmly on the south bank of the Yalu River to support the main army in crossing the river.

    After crossing the river, the army continued to move south.

    Eulji Mundeok, who had stabilized his position towards the south, was almost frightened out of his wits. He had to admit that centipede insects could die but not freeze. Even if the Sui army was short of food, it was still full of combat power.  Yu Wenshu, Yu Zhongwen and others are all capable generals and difficult to defeat.  The Goguryeo people could not engage in field battles with the Sui army, otherwise they would be seeking death.

    Eulji Wende used the strategy of exhausting the army, ordered the cavalry to constantly harass the Sui army, and set up more than ten defense lines along the road.

    Whenever the Sui army attacked, the Goguryeo people would pretend to be defeated and quickly retreat.  The Sui army achieved seven battles and seven victories in one day.

    Eulji Wende once again ordered that all grains in the villages and towns along the way be collected, and those that could not be collected were burned, leaving no trace for the Sui army.

    After being harassed by the Goguryeo people and clearing the country, the Sui army was unstoppable, but it did not achieve much results.  The main force of the army marched for days in the summer and lacked food. The Sui army was exhausted and at the end of its war effort.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
