    War is actually a process of sacrifice and consumption, and it is also a process of gaining overall victory through partial sacrifice.  And defensive counterattack is the ultimate embodiment of this principle.

    After Zhao Shanren received the order, he immediately led 25,000 troops down Phoenix Mountain.  The scouts reported that the Sui army did not exceed 20,000 people. Zhao Shanren led 25,000 people. Although he would not get an advantage, he would not suffer a loss.

    At this time, it was a tentative attack. If the Sui army was strong, Zhao Shanren would naturally return immediately.  Of course, if the Sui army camp was empty, Zhao Shanren would not hesitate to eat the entire Sui army camp.

    But soon Zhao Shanren encountered his first trouble. At this time, the large steps dug by the Goguryeo army to block the Sui army's road became an insurmountable chasm for them.

    "It's not easy to climb such high steps, but it's also difficult to get down.

    Previously, Wen Da believed that the Sui army was powerful and they must defend. Even if they did attack in the end, the Sui army would probably fill up these steps, so he did not consider this situation at all.

    Fortunately, the Sui army was more than twenty miles away, and it seemed to be far away from here.

    Zhao Shanren had no choice but to order people to build a road down the mountain with sandbags.  If the attack fails, it will have to be dismantled after returning to the city.

    Along the way, we passed the first camp of the Sui Army. Although it was empty, the surrounding fences, trenches, and tribes of horses were kept in strict order, which made Zhao Shanren silent for a while.

    The Sui army was so strong that they were almost breathless.

    After trekking all the way, Zhao Shanren and his army finally arrived in front of the Sui army's camp. His troops lined up to face it, and then launched an attack on the Sui army.

    At this time, Zhang Wenyuan, the head coach of the Sui army, had already learned about the actions of the Goguryeo people through scouts.  Goguryeo scouts closely monitored the Sui camp, and Sui army scouts also closely monitored Phoenix City and Wugu City.

    Although there was no large-scale battle in the past two days, there was no telling how many small-scale contact battles took place between the scouts from both sides.

    Zhang Wenyuan was overjoyed when he saw the Goguryeo army descending from the mountain to counterattack.

    The Goguryeo scouts did a good job. There are indeed only about 10,000 people in his camp, but he has more than 10,000 troops.  In order to lure the Goguryeo people to take the bait, Zhang Wenyuan had already withdrawn the remaining troops twenty miles and ambush on the mountains on both sides.  The mountains are densely covered. Although it hinders the Sui army's attack, it is also the best concealment barrier for the Sui army.

    Seeing the Goguryeo army approaching, in order to continue to deceive the opponent, Zhang Wenyuan ordered the general Gao Yuanbei stationed in the camp to rely on tight fortifications and trenches to hold on.  Zhang Wenyuan, on the other hand, led his main force and quietly approached the battlefield of both sides from a hiding place in the rear.

    Zhao Shanren came in a hurry, so he was not fully prepared. He even did not bring some weapons that were inconvenient to carry.

    In fact, Wen Da lost some control this time, so the caution of the past is gone today.

    When Zhao Shanren arrived at the Sui army's formation, the Sui army did not form a formation to fight.

    Zhao Shanren ordered the front army to attack the Sui army camp.  Seeing the Goguryeo army approaching, the condescending Sui army immediately fired thousands of arrows at the opponent.

    Gao Yuanbei also set up dozens of trebuchets inside the camp, taking advantage of the high terrain of the camp to continuously hurl at the opponent.

    Zhao Shanren did not prepare any weapons to attack the enemy, but the Sui army camp was as solid as a turtle shell.  Although the Goguryeo army came fiercely and desperately used human lives to fill the gap, it was in vain.

    No matter how the Goguryeo army attacked, the Sui army camp was as solid as a rock.

    Zhao Shanren had no choice. Under the strong attack, the two sides fought fiercely for more than two hours, and his troops suffered heavy casualties. Seeing that it was past half time and it was getting late, Zhao Shanren ordered the entire army to retreat and no longer continue to entangle with the Sui army.

    At this time, Zhang Wenyuan could almost see the fireworks filling the sky above the camp, which was only more than ten miles away from the north of the camp.  There were shouts of killing from all sides, and the Sui army's camp was like an isolated island in the torrent, in danger.

    "But Zhang Wenyuan, who has been in the military for many years, knows very well that this kind of sacrifice is inevitable. Although it is painful, it must be endured.

    In order to complete the encirclement of the Goguryeo army, while the Goguryeo army launched an attack on the Sui army's camp, Zhang Wenyuan ordered Lu Huiyan and Li Jin to lead 10,000 troops on both sides and advance secretly along the mountain road to form a counterattack against the Goguryeo army.  surrounded.

    He also ordered Gao Yuanzhen to concentrate 3,000 elite cavalry in the Chinese army as an assault force.

    Everyone held their breath and watched in the distance.

    At this time, a large flag more than ten feet high was raised in the Sui army camp and waved back and forth. This was the signal to attack scheduled in advance.

    Zhang Wenyuan was so happy that he also raised a red flag on the mountain as a sign of faith.?And ordered the entire army to attack.  At the same time, Lu Huiyan and Li Jin, who were ambushing on both sides, also received the news and launched an attack on the Goguryeo army at the same time.

    For a moment, the sky shook and the earth shook, and the voice of the Sui army seemed to echo throughout the mountains and forests.

    The Sui army was more than twice as large as the Goguryeo people, and they were waiting for work. They suddenly attacked and immediately shocked the Goguryeo army on the way to retreat.

    At this time, Zhao Shanren, who was commanding the troops to retreat, was shocked when he heard the shouts of killing from all sides, and immediately ordered people to go and find out what was going on.

    Phoenix City is surrounded by mountains, which naturally separates roads and valleys. Although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, communication is also inconvenient.  The Sui Army camp and Phoenix City were twenty miles apart, and the road was not smooth.

    At this time, a soldier who was wounded by an arrow came to Zhao Shanren with a strong breath, covered his wound and said: "Yi Qishe (the fifth level of Goguryeo) is the Sui army, and there are Sui armies everywhere.  "

    After saying this, the man couldn't hold on anymore and died there.

    Zhao Shanren was even more surprised.

    However, he had no choice but to hesitate. The Sui armies on both sides had already rushed out and were strangled with the Goguryeo army.

    Zhao Shanren immediately shouted "Formation, formation!"

    Looking at this situation, Zhao Shanren had already understood that he was probably falling into the Sui army's plan of showing weakness and luring the enemy deeper.  The Sui army deliberately pretended to have insufficient troops and a weak camp in order to hide the troops that were already ambushing around.

    Zhao Shanren deeply regretted that he had not discovered the Sui army's tactics, which put him in such a situation.  At this point there was no choice but to fight.

    As the number one general under Wen Da, Zhao Shanren was often in battles and had great strategies.  He knew very well that he could not break through easily at this time. The mountains here were steep, transportation was inconvenient, and the enemy's situation was unknown.  It seems that the road to breakout is less than twenty miles, but once the opponent takes advantage of the breakout, the breakout is likely to turn into a massive rout.  At that time, even if he is a god descending to earth, he will not be able to save the crisis.

    So Zhao Shanren decided to form a formation on the spot and organize a defense.  No matter how the Sui army attacked, they would defend and respond.  He has sent someone to send a letter to Wugu City, requesting coach Wen Da for rescue.  As long as reinforcements arrive, he and Wendali can cooperate with the outside world, and they may even turn defeat into victory.

    Zhao Shanren¡¯s decision cannot be said to be decisive and effective.

    It will be the courage of the three armies, and soon this army, which was already somewhat chaotic, began to stabilize.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
