Chapter 1771 Why?

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    News of the attack on Cheorwon City was sent to Chosun City as quickly as possible.

    In order to facilitate connections in the Liaodong region, the Sui army set up dozens of post stations along the route from Xiangping City to Chosun City and then to Songyue City.  It took less than a day for the letter to deliver Da Xihao's request for help to Huang Mingli, a journey of nearly three hundred miles from North Korea City to Songyue City.

    Huang Mingli was also shocked when he heard that Tieyuan City was attacked.

    The war was raging, Huang Mingli immediately ordered Zhang Xikang to lead 8,000 troops south from Wugu City to support Tieyuan City.  At the same time, he reported to Huang Mingzhen of Liaodong and asked for reinforcements.

    Although the curtain has not yet fully opened, it is obvious that the scale of this battle will not be small.

    Huang Mingli also gave a strict order to Da Xi Hao. Before the reinforcements arrived, he must stay step by step and hold the defense line tightly. Do not attack rashly to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of him.

    Zhang Xikang originally stationed himself in Wugucheng to suppress bandits. Now he is the closest to Tiewuan City and can get to Tiewuan City the fastest.

    It is more than a hundred miles from Wugu City to Tieyuan City, but there are many hilly areas along the way, and the Hulu River has to be crossed, so the road is not easy to walk.

    After Zhang Xikang led his troops to set off, they first walked south along the avenue, then turned east, and arrived at the Hulu River in just two days.  The Hulu River has a wide flow and is not convenient for navigation.

    Zhang Xikang ordered the soldiers to build bamboo rafts and make floating bridges to cross the river.

    The Sui army built two pontoon bridges overnight. Early the next morning, Zhang Xikang commanded the troops to cross the river.  At this moment, an ambush suddenly appeared on both sides of the Hulu River and attacked the Sui army who was crossing the river.

    It turns out that Jin Baijing ordered the German army to attack Tiewuan City, and also ordered generals Jin Shuxuan and Yi Jifu to lead 30,000 troops to set up an ambush at the Hulu River, preparing to wipe out the Sui reinforcements coming from Songyue City.

    However, Da Xihao was not fooled because of the changes in Beihan Mountain City.  This unit has been setting up ambushes on both sides of the Hulu River, and finally Zhang Xikang's troops arrived.

    Zhang Xikang was frightened when he saw an ambush, and this was a half-crossing attack.

    Zhang Xikang also saw that there were countless troops on the opposite side, probably tens of thousands of people. Although they were under the banner of retaliating to Germany, the main force of the retaliating German army was attacking Cheorwon. How could there be so many troops?  He guessed in his mind that these troops were probably Silla people.

    The Silla people¡¯s little tricks behind their backs could not be hidden from the Sui army.

    Zhang Xikang immediately ordered a retreat.

    Although Zhang Xikang received the order to rescue Tiewuan City, he still had to put his own safety first.  Zhang Xikang is not a pedantic person. He has obviously fallen into someone else's trap at this time and will not fight to the death here.

    The front team of the Sui army changed into the rear team and immediately headed west.

    Because Zhang Xikang didn¡¯t have enough boats, he made a pontoon by connecting bamboo rafts together.  Although it is not very stable, it is more convenient. Soldiers can easily pass through the pontoon bridge.

    So the army that crossed the river first formed a formation on the spot, and the army that had not crossed the river formed a formation on the other side, and both sides slowly retreated.

    Although the Silla soldiers pursued the Sui army to attack, Zhang Xikang's troops were not in disarray and their formation was not broken up. Therefore, their combat power was not comparable to that of their opponents.  Zhang Xikang also ordered the crossbowmen to form a formation and scatter fire at the enemy.  Crossbow arrows were scattered in all directions, and corpses littered the fields.

    So the Sui army successfully crossed the Hulu River under the ambush of the Xinluo people, and Zhang Xikang ordered a fire to burn the pontoon bridge.

    The Silla soldiers ambushed no more than 10,000 people on the west bank of the Hulu River, which was similar to the Sui army.  Seeing that the Sui army successfully withdrew, the Silla general knew he was outmatched and took the opportunity to retreat.

    Zhang Xikang¡¯s troops were able to escape from danger after suffering more than a thousand casualties.

    After Zhang Xikang escaped from danger, he knew that it was impossible to go east for rescue.  The enemy army on the opposite side would have twenty to thirty thousand men in ambush. It can be seen that there are so many troops. If the enemy had the intention, he would definitely not be able to cross the river.  If we take a detour, we won¡¯t arrive at Tiewuan City in what month or year.

    In fact, Zhang Xikang gave up on Tieyuan City in his heart.

    So Zhang Xikang retreated to Niucen City (today's Jinchuan County, North Korea).

    Niucen City is on the east bank of the Licheng River, more than ten miles away from Songyue City. It is the back road of Songyue City.  If you retreat here, you can choose an opportunity to continue rescuing Tiewuan City. If you retreat, you can protect the retreat of the Zhenfan army.

    After Huang Mingli, who was in the rear, learned about Zhang Xikang's situation, he also agreed with Zhang Xikang's handling method.  Now the Silla people just want to use Cheolwon City as bait to attract the Sui army to come to the rescue. There is no telling how many troops are ambushing them.  At this time, we couldn't follow the Silla people's ideas. As for Cheorwon City, it really didn't work, so we had to give up.

    At this time, in front of Songyue City, Da Xihao had been locked in a stalemate with the Silla people on the opposite side for a long time.  I don¡¯t know if it was because Da Xihao did not assist Cheolwon Castle eastward. The Silla Army in Bukhan Mountain Castle and the Baekje Army disguised as the Silla Army never made an attack.

    The enemy didn't move, and Da Xihao didn't dare to move either, so he had no choice but to remain in a stalemate.

      Seeing that there was still no movement in Bukhan Mountain City, Da Xihao suspected that the Silla people in Bukhan Mountain City were using a trick to fool him, and the real Silla army had long since escaped.

    Da Xihao sent people to sneak into Bukhan Mountain City several times to inquire about the situation, but the news he received was always that the defenders in Bukhan Mountain City remained in the camp and there was no movement.

    This scene is really suspicious.

    What on earth do the Silla people want to do? Are they really worrying too much this time? The Silla people just want to use revenge against Germany to harass the Sui Dynasty and exhaust their troops?

    Huang Mingli and Fang Xuanling in North Korea City were also a little confused about the battle situation on the front line.

    These days, Huang Mingli strictly ordered that the battle situation on the front line be reported every day without delay.  Therefore, Huang Mingli was very aware of the strange situation of the stalemate on the front line.

    Recently, Joseon City has been under great pressure. With the invasion of German troops, the originally suppressed Goguryeo survivors seemed to suddenly rise in power.  On both sides of the Sa River and the Xishui River, Goguryeo's folk restoration forces were everywhere.  After Zhang Xikang went south, Huang Mingli had only more than 10,000 troops. He had to suppress the rebels and defend North Korea City, which was very stretched.

    At this time, the slightest move by the Silla people and the Baekje people will cause huge changes in the political situation of the Lelang Peninsula.

    If the opponent moves, they can still make moves no matter what, but if the opponent does not move, it will make the Sui army even more embarrassed.

    Regarding the current situation, Fang Xuanling believes that "the more immobile the Silla people are, the greater their next moves will be. We are tired of dealing with the Silla people, so we must either take the initiative, he will fight his, and I will fight mine, or  He ordered the Zhenfan army to withdraw to the north of the Zhu River and concentrate its forces to defend North Korea."

    It is unrealistic to launch an attack. The Sui army does not have that many troops.  It is simply unrealistic to expect 20,000 real troops to attack Silla.

    But it¡¯s not possible to withdraw.  From the plain to the north, the road is smooth.  Once given up, it will be difficult to take it back with the Silla people's manpower advantage. This is half of the land in Lelang County.

    Huang Mingli was in a dilemma at this time and couldn't make up his mind, so he had to keep writing to Shenyang City, asking for support, but he missed the best opportunity.

    On March 6, the enemy army that had been dormant finally launched an attack, and this attack was fatal to the Sui army.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
