After occupying Jian'an City, Huang Mingyuan continued to march eastward.
The Goguryeo troops along the way were powerless to stop them. At this time, Ba Lian also tried his best to recruit and surrender cities for Huang Mingyuan.
Huang Mingyuan was quite aware of images, so he didn't make things difficult for him. Instead, he was treated like other generals and allowed to participate in military aircraft. Ba Lian was even more grateful for this and wished he could be Huang Mingyuan's son.
At this time, Ba Lian also knew Huang Mingyuan's identity. He was the most powerful official in the Sui Dynasty. When mentioning Huang Mingyuan's name, all the barbarians in the southeast and northwest had heard of it. Balian only worshiped and feared Huang Mingyuan, and had no desire to resist.
At this time, seeing that he was Huang Mingyuan's subordinate, he was still a little complacent. He also completely stopped thinking about other things and prepared to focus on becoming a Sui noble under Huang Mingyuan's family.
Soon after the Sui army moved eastward, the Luo Yi Division, as the vanguard, encountered the Goguryeo troops.
Before, Jiang Yishi sent letters asking for help one after another in Liaodong City, but Eulji Wende was unwilling to save him and despised him for asking for help so soon before the battle, so he never sent troops. But soon after, news of Kang Yi-sik's defeat came, and Eulji Mundeok was shocked.
In order to detect the movements of the Sui army in time and block the Sui army in Ansi City, Eulji Wende sent General Xue Zhuchen and five thousand cavalry to the west to prepare to support Lan Tianxiang.
Xue Zhuchen marched in a hurry, but the Sui army advanced faster, and then they met east of Jian'an City.
The two sides suddenly met under a mountain ridge, with no way to escape, and a battle was about to begin.
Both sides are cavalry, each with five or six thousand men and horses, but their strength is almost the same.
Luo Yi was brave and brave. When he saw that the Goguryeo people on the opposite side had not yet prepared their battle formation, he wanted to take the lead and rush into the enemy's formation. All the generals advised Luo Yi not to fall into the trap. Luo Yi shouted: "When we meet the enemy today, both sides are confused about the enemy's strength. Once they hesitate to move forward, they will show their cowardice, and this momentum will fall on the other side."
If it was as Luo Yi expected, when Xue Zhuchen saw the Sui army's massive attack, he thought that the opponent had a large number of troops, so he hesitated.
At this time, the generals under Xue Zhuchen all said that the Sui army was powerful, and looking at the formation, there were probably no less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, so they should avoid it quickly. Xue Zhuchen was also afraid at this time and prepared to retreat.
At this time, Luo Yi was already holding a long spear and charging into the Goguryeo army.
The Sui army attacked with all their strength, as brave as tigers and leopards descending from the mountain. The Goguryeo army could not stop it at all. In addition, Xue Zhuchen ordered the troops to retreat, and their army immediately became chaotic.
The Sui army pursued them fiercely and captured countless soldiers.
Luo Yi chased for more than thirty miles before stopping. In this battle, he beheaded more than 2,000 people and captured countless others. Luo Yi happily went back to report his merits.
Huang Mingyuan saw that Luo Yi had achieved his first achievement, and he did not hesitate to praise him. After getting along with each other these days, Huang Mingyuan also became familiar with Luo Yi's character. He is a person born in the year of donkey. He has a donkey brain, a donkey temper, and is also very arrogant. He is just like a young man, so he deserves to be praised.
For Luo Yi, Huang Mingyuan satisfied his pride.
And Luo Yi followed Huang Mingyuan in a Liaodong battle that left him dazzled and amazed. Luo Yi asked himself that he did not have such a level, so he was extremely convinced of Huang Mingyuan and regarded him as a god.
Huang Mingyuan understands the admiration in Luo Yi's eyes, because all his generals are like this.
Luo Yi, although it is easy to hurt his hands, it is really useful. Huang Mingyuan thought he could control the other party, and he would not block his light.
It¡¯s a good sign that the army flag has been raised successfully.
The entire army continued eastward, approaching Baiyan City (now Xiuyan, Liaoning Province).
Baiyan City is located between Liaodong City and Wugu City. It is the only place that Liaodong City must pass eastward. It is surrounded by Yincheng (now Qingchengzi Town, Fengcheng City, Dandong City, Liaoning Province), Houhuang City, and Fenghuangshan City (now Fenghuangshan City). Places such as (southeast of Fengcheng City, Liaoning Province) and Niangniang City (southeast of today's Xiuyan County, Liaoning Province) formed Goguryeo's second line of defense.
Huang Mingyuan was eager to attack Baiyan City because he wanted to open a gap and drive a nail in Goguryeo's second line of defense. At that time, we will be able to take the initiative in the battle with Eulji Munduk.
But Eulji Wende was not stupid. When he learned that Jiang Yishi was defeated and died, he was shocked. But he quickly realized that if Ruojiang divided his forces like this, he would be easily defeated by the Sui army's superior force. Therefore, in addition to sending Xue Zhuchen to lead his troops to support Anshi City, he immediately concentrated his forces on Baiyan City. , preparing for a decisive battle with the Sui army here.
Although Wugu Fortress is the home base of Ulji Mundeok, and the city is difficult to conquer and is more suitable for defense, Baekyan Fortress is the core of Goguryeo's second mountain fortress system.
If Baiyan City is lost, the Sui army can use it as a stronghold to attack from all sides, and the entire Liaodong will not be able to block the Sui army's attack. Eulji Wende had no choice but to completely return to Yalu River.
On May 2, the main force of the Sui army arrived outside Baekyan City, and Ulji Mundeok also assembled 110,000 troops in Baekyan City to prepare to hold on.
The circumference of Baiyan City is nearly 1,700 steps (2,500 meters). The terrain is dangerous and it was a battleground for ancient military strategists. The city is built on the mountain, winding and majestic. To the south is a steep cliff, which is a natural barrier against enemies. The large beams of water under the cliff pass by the cliff, and the momentum is compelling. There are stone cities built on the west, north and east sides. The walls are five to eight meters high and built with large stones. There are protruding square "horse faces" every 40 meters. There is a command platform on the commanding heights of the city, about five meters high. An inner city 45 meters long and 35 meters wide is built around the podium. Standing on the podium, you have a panoramic view of the city and beyond.
Eulji Mundeok did not shrink all his troops into the city, but built a camp outside the city to form horns with the city.
In order to prevent the Sui army from approaching bombardment, Ulchi Wende dug two more trenches in front of the formation. Unfortunately, there was no moat and it was impossible to divert water. However, Eulji Wende also arranged three wooden fences on one side of the trench to prevent cavalry charges. He pushed some of the catapults to the fence, blocked the horses, and mobilized thousands of crossbowmen to guard behind the fence.
When the Sui army arrived, Huang Mingyuan discovered that Ulji Wende had tightly guarded Baiyan City with trenches, fences, and horses, making it difficult to approach.
Eulji Mundeok is indeed the best general of Goryeo, and his defensive performance alone has to be admirable.
More than 100,000 Sui troops rushed to Baiyan City and set up camp twenty miles away from the city. Because the Sui cavalry had been monitoring the opponent, Eulji Mundeok did not take the initiative to attack and caught the opponent off guard.
That day was uneventful, and both parties spent a quiet and long late night. Some generals advised Huang Mingyuan to raid the Goguryeo camp outside Baiyan City at night, but Huang Mingyuan refused.
"In a decisive battle involving hundreds of thousands of people between the enemy and ourselves, acting like this seems a bit petty, and it is in vain that we are weakened in front of Eulji Munduk."
