    Jiang Yishi is ready to withdraw.

    With the current situation, Liaodong City is a piece of meat on the Sui army's lips, which can be taken down anytime and anywhere.  Jiang Yishi didn't understand why the Sui army didn't launch a direct attack on Liaodong City, but the more this happened, the more panicked Jiang Yishi became, always feeling that Huang Mingyuan was up to something.

    If the Sui army had a hand-to-hand fight with him on the city wall, no matter how brutal it was, he would hold on to the end because it was a war he was familiar with.  But now Huang Mingyuan was bombarding with artillery and shooting with bows and crossbows. The Goguryeo army could only watch and was unable to fight back.  In just a few days, including An Dianbao's cavalry, Liaodong City had suffered more than 30,000 casualties and nearly half of it was damaged. It is difficult to say how many Sui army casualties there were, but Jiang Yishi knew that they would not be serious.  .  If the fight continues like this, within less than a month, there will be no soldiers available in Liaodong City, but there will be no harm to the Sui army.

    Jiang Yishi decided to abandon Liaodong City, and even the surrounding Xincheng and Anshi City, and instead concentrated his troops eastward along Daliangshui (today's Taizi River) and garrisoned Mudi City (40 miles west of present-day Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County, Liaoning).  Muqi Town on the north bank of Zihe River), relying on the surrounding steep terrain to deal with the Sui army.

    In Jiang Yishi¡¯s mind, at this moment, only the harsh roads in Liaodong could stop the Sui army.

    However, breaking through is not that easy.  Although Jiang Yishi had more than 40,000 troops in his hands, in the previous night attack, all the most elite 20,000 cavalrymen were eaten by the Sui army. At this time, he only had more than 10,000 cavalrymen.  With only these more than 10,000 cavalry, Goguryeo would never be a match for the Sui army in a field battle. If they broke through rashly, they would probably be surrounded by the Sui army's cavalry and the whole army would be annihilated.

    Jiang Yishi looked at the empty space to the east and fell into deep thought.

    It is obvious that this is a trap deliberately set by the Sui army, but now the west gate, north gate, and south direction of Liaodong City are blocked by earth slopes built by the Sui army at the same time, making it impossible to break out.  Therefore, if the Goguryeo army wanted to break out of the encirclement, they had to go through the east gate.

    It¡¯s like the other party tells you there¡¯s an ambush ahead, but you have to move forward.

    Jiang Yishi was in a dilemma.

    He didn¡¯t have much time to waste. Once the Sui army thought that the time had come to attack the city, Liaodong City would be destroyed.

    Jiang Yishi also summoned generals Zuo Xiong, An Dianbao, Lan Tianbi and others to discuss countermeasures.

    Everyone was talking a lot, but they all unanimously agreed to break through, but they had different opinions on how to break through.

    The Sui army's good fighting skills shocked everyone, and no one wanted to stay in Liaodong City and endure the bombardment of stone bullets.  The Sui army stayed in the east and had not yet surrounded Liaodong City.  If the Sui army really built a slope outside the east gate.  When the time comes, Liaodong City will be bombarded from all sides, even if it is made of iron, it will not be able to withstand it.

    So I still have to go.

    But everyone had gone through many battle formations, and the Sui army's intention of "surrounding three towers and one tower" was so obvious that no one could be sure whether there was an ambush in the east.  If they just plunged into the arms of the Sui army's ambush, and there was no strong city to defend, they would become cattle and sheep to be slaughtered in front of the Sui army, which was good at field combat.

    Someone suggested breaking out of the encirclement from the south, crossing the slope, and heading straight to Anshi City (today's Tangchi Town, Dashiqiao City, Liaoning Province).  After all, the main force of the Sui army was concentrated in the east, and the north was blocked by the Daliang River. Although there were high slopes in the south, the Sui army's attack was relatively weak and it was easiest to break through.

    But some people think this is a gamble, and once it fails, the entire army will be wiped out.

    It¡¯s impossible to walk, and it¡¯s impossible not to walk. Just when everyone was at a loss, Gai Xianmo, the general in the army, told Jiang Yishi that he could take the water route.

    Gai Xianmo was a member of Mo Li Zhiyuan Taizuo. Jiang Yishi had always been afraid of him and was very careful about him, so he did not inform Gai Xianmo of some important discussions.

    But this time Gai Xianmo¡¯s suggestion struck Jiang Yishi¡¯s heart.

    Gai Xianmo believed that since the Sui army had let go of the east, the east must not move.  If they go south, they may be blocked by the Sui army.  The only part of Liaodong City that was not blocked by the Sui army was the Daliang River in the north.

    Before the Sui army marched eastwards, Jiang Yishi commandeered all the ships in the Liao River in order to strengthen the walls and clear the country.  Because they couldn't bear to burn them all, someone later suggested that they could be dismantled and used as rolling logs. Therefore, a large number of ships were transported into Liaodong City, and a considerable number of them were not dismantled.

    Gai Xianmo believed that he could break through from the north gate and carried a large number of ships upstream from the Daliang River to Muti City.  The cavalry broke out from the east gate to attract the attention of the Sui army.  Then go north at the east ferry to escape the siege.

    In this way, even if the Sui army discovered traces of the Goguryeo army, it would be too late to cross the river to pursue them.

    After hearing this, Jiang Yishi calculated carefully, and finally felt that Gai Xianmo's plan was the most likely to succeed.  I'm afraid that Sui Junguang wanted to do something in the EastIf you are ambushed, you will definitely not think of escaping from the north along the river.

    Jiang Yishi immediately made up his mind to break through the Beimen Waterway.

    On the one hand, he ordered Zuo Xiong to lead nearly 10,000 cavalry in the city as suspects, and also divided the remaining 30,000 people into three. He, An Dianbao, and Lan Tianbi each led one, and divided them into the front, middle, and rear armies.  An Dianbao is the forward, and Lan Tianbi is the queen.

    At night, the night is as cold as water and there is no one around.

    Jiang Yishi quietly gathered his troops and horses, and then asked people to open the east gate and north gate. Zuo Xiong led more than 10,000 cavalry out of the east gate, while Jiang Yishi led the remaining tens of thousands of infantry from the north gate and carried a large number of ships along the Daliang River.  Go east.

    There are thousands of boats of all kinds on the water, and there are even some temporary bamboo rafts.  After the Daliang River thawed this year, the water volume was not abundant, so even small bamboo rafts could travel along the river.

    Jiang Yishi boarded the boat and looked at Liaodong City, full of sadness.  This is the Liaodong City that he has guarded for many years, and he is leaving today.

    Originally, An Dianbao persuaded Jiang Yishi to burn the city, but Jiang Yishi refused.  Although burning the city with fire can leave the Sui army with an abandoned Liaodong city, it can also easily alarm the opponent, and the gain outweighs the loss.  However, Jiang Yishi also left thousands of people behind to act as the main force.  If the Sui army did not find the breakout army, they would continue to defend the city. If the Sui army attacked, these people would set fire everywhere and create chaos.

    The Goguryeo ship sailed away from Liaodong City safely. Although there were a large number of people, it was miraculously not discovered by the other party.  Jiang Yishi secretly cried out that he was lucky, and with God's help, he was finally able to save these tens of thousands of troops.

    After traveling for more than ten miles, Jiang Yishi did not land in the north.  The Sui army had too many cavalry, and the distance of more than ten miles was really unsafe.  And looking at the situation of the Daliang River, it would be better if we could go all the way eastward from the water.

    By around 9:00 p.m., the sky was bright and sparsely visible people could be seen.  At this time, the entire river was silent, except for the sound of the water flowing.

    An Dianbao, who was leading the way, suddenly heard a "rumbling" sound from the east and didn't know what was going on.  He looked up casually, and suddenly his eyes were filled with fear, and he looked into the distance in disbelief.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
