Chapter 92: Liaodong City

Liaodong City is the entrance to the entire Liaodong Peninsula. During the Warring States Period, the Yan State established Liaodong County, and Liaodong City began to exist! Since then, it has experienced several ups and downs, and this city has also been baptized by countless wars. However, because of this special geographical location, Liaodong City

Not only did the city not disappear, but it became more and more prosperous.

Since Goguryeo invaded Yingzhou in the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, Liaodong City has completely fallen into the hands of Goguryeo. It was not until the emperor's first eastern expedition to Goguryeo the year before last that a fierce battle was fought in Liaodong City. However, due to various reasons, the Sui Dynasty

The army suffered an unprecedented defeat! After that, Goguryeo used the strategy of underestimating the enemy and abandoned eight battles in succession, including Liaodong City, to lure the Sui army deep into Goguryeo territory, and finally defeated the Sui army outside Pyongyang City, resulting in the first East Asian war.

The expedition ended in failure, and Liaodong City was lost again after the Sui army withdrew, and fell under the control of Goguryeo again! Last year, the emperor made his second eastward expedition to Goguryeo, and before the Liaodong City could be captured, Yang Xuangan

News of the rebellion came, but Liaodong City was not recaptured after all.

Today, the army of the Sui Dynasty once again came to the outside of Liaodong City. Looking at this ancient city that had brought endless humiliation to itself, Lai Hu'er's heart was full of emotion and unwillingness. But this time Lai Hu'er decided not to fight again.

I won’t leave Liaodong with regrets! Laihuer’s eyes are fixed on Liaodong City. Although he only has less than 50,000 troops this time, Laihuer can defeat Liaodong City and even defeat Goguryeo.

Have enough confidence!

"Ouch! Brother Qin! Are you sure this is Liaodong City? The city wall is so short and broken. How did it block the attack of the army back then?" Just when Lai Hu'er secretly made up his mind, a voice suddenly came from the side.

The sound was loud and bright, and when it fell into Lai Hu'er's ears, it seemed particularly harsh! Lai Hu'er's face changed, and anger just climbed onto his cheeks, but was replaced by a bitter smile again.

"Shh! Brother Wan, keep your voice down!" Qin Qiong, who was next to Wan He, was not as heartless as Wan He. He immediately made a silent gesture to Wan He, and at the same time, he also looked at Lai Lai carefully.

, a wry smile appeared on his face. Because he saved Lai Hong in the battle in Hiraizumi, the relationship between Wan He and Lai Huer finally eased, but Wan He’s words just now were exposing Lai Huer.

What a scar! Who knows if I will go crazy because of this!

However, it was obvious that Lai Huer was not as petty as Qin Qiong expected. He just glanced at Wan He with a wry smile and continued to direct the soldiers to form their troops. Wan He obviously realized that he had said the wrong thing and covered his head with his hands.

He opened his mouth and looked at Lai Huer with wide eyes. After making sure that Lai Huer was not angry, he took his hand down, patted his chest gently, took a breath, and whispered: "Mommy,

!Scared me to death!”

Next to Wan He, Lai Hong looked at Qin Qiong with the same wry smile, and then shook his head helplessly. In the past, Lai Hong would have been furious because of what Wan He just said, but now Lai Hong

I understand Wan He to some extent. This guy is really heartless. What he said just now was just a casual comment subconsciously. He didn't mean to humiliate him to protect his children. Now that he understands that Wan He did it unintentionally, then come on

There was no need for Hong to have a falling out with this newly made brother over such a trivial matter.

Lai Hong thought for a while and decided to explain: "Brother Wan! The Liaodong City of the year before last was different from what it is now! It was just that after the fierce battle the year before last, the walls of Liaodong City had been basically destroyed, and the army at that time had already

They invaded Liaodong City, but unfortunately they were hit by a Goguryeo ambush and had to retreat! Although last year's battle was not as fierce as the year before, the newly repaired walls of Liaodong City were almost defeated! After successive years of war,

, the Goguryeo people couldn't support it any longer, and were unable to build the city wall of Liaodong City. The city wall in front of them is almost the same as when the army was reorganized last year!"

"Oh!" Wan He responded, saying that he understood. In fact, there was nothing difficult to understand. Three consecutive years and three Eastern Expeditions brought down even the powerful Sui Dynasty. How could Goguryeo be any better?

?But Wan He thought back and immediately asked: "Well, since Goguryeo doesn't even have the money to repair its city walls, wouldn't it be easy to capture Liaodong City?"

"That's natural!" Lai Hong puffed up his chest, the proud look on his face appeared again, and said proudly: "Don't look at the fact that the vanguard army led by my father this time only has 50,000 troops. Compared with the previous two Eastern Expeditions,

The number of people is much smaller, but it is easy to conquer Liaodong City! Let alone Liaodong City, we can even take down the entire Goguryeo in one go! Maybe, by then we can also take advantage of the situation and take Silla and Baekje directly.

!" When he said the last sentence, Lai Hong lowered his voice slightly, but the pride on his face only increased instead of decreasing.

"Uh!" Wan He couldn't help being stunned, looking at Lai Hong with a strange face, but he was muttering in his heart. If Wan He remembered correctly, this Eastern Expedition should still end in failure, but Lai Hong heard that

What it means, and what Qin Qiong said before, it seems that this Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo should be a great victory! Did I remember it wrong?

"Hong'er!" Wan He was still struggling with his memory, but Lai Hu'er was already ready. He came to Wan He and others and said to Lai Hong: "This Liaodong City will be handed over to you! Within today

, take Liaodong City! Is there any problem?"

Lai Hong immediately gave a military salute to Lai Huer and shouted angrily: "Father! The child takes orders!"

Lai Hu'er nodded, glanced at Wan He next to him again, managed to squeeze out a smile, then turned and left. Lai Hu'er was obviously expressing Wan He's best intentions, but...

, this smile gave Wan He goosebumps all over his body! Wan He secretly murmured in his heart, why does Hu'er's smile look uglier than crying? Didn't he smile well before, why does he become so virtuous when he smiles now?

Already?

What Wan He didn't know was that the smiles Lai Hu'er used to show in front of Wan He were all fake social smiles, which were honed by Lai Hu'er's involvement in the officialdom. But now Lai Hu'er wants to

I want to sincerely express my kindness to Wan He. I don’t want to pretend, but my character is just like the one who came to protect the children. Therefore, when I smile sincerely, it is not as natural as the previous smile.

After Lai Huer left, Lai Hong turned to Wan He and smiled: "Brother Wan! I want to borrow someone from you! I just don't know if Brother Wan is willing to part with me?"

Lai Hong's intention was naturally to ask Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and the one hundred elite soldiers to help, but Wan He was very generous in this regard. He waved his hand and said: "What's the matter? Since you're here, brother, you can do it."

Stop it, Brother Qin! Lao Cheng! Just work hard!"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't bear it anymore. As soon as he heard Wan He's words, he immediately pulled out his ax excitedly and shouted: "No problem! No problem! It's up to me!" As for Qin Qiong, he also nodded lightly,

Agree.

Seeing that Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin agreed, Laihong was very happy. Although even without their help, Laihong was confident that he could win Liaodong City, but with these two strong reinforcements, he would be more helpful in this battle.

Big! Immediately, Lai Hong nodded and said: "Okay! Brother Cheng! You lead three thousand men for a frontal assault! Brother Qin, you and I each lead two thousand troops and break through from both wings!"

Laihong just laid out the strategy briefly. In fact, this battle really does not require too much energy, so Laihong did not plan to send all the troops. He just relied on these 7,000 people to defeat the Liaodong City in front of him.

Take it! After such a simple arrangement, Qin Qiong nodded, shook the reins, and took a few steps forward. Cheng Yaojin simply waved the ax in his hand and summoned the three thousand soldiers that Hong had just assigned to him.

The horse rushed directly towards Liaodong City! Seeing that Cheng Yaojin had already begun to attack, Qin Qiong and Lai Hong did not hesitate. Lai Hong hurriedly summoned his troops and horses to follow, while Qin Qiong did not forget to fight Wan He.

After saying hello, he left the hundreds of subordinates to protect Wan He, and then followed him with his troops! Qin Qiong was so attentive, Wan He was so moved that his eyes were red, and he wished he could commit to him for the rest of his life!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Carrying the Xuanhua axe, Cheng Yaojin rushed to the front, with a murderous look on his face, and went straight to the city gate to kill! When the army arrived outside Liaodong City before, it was already stationed at

The Goguryeo army in Liaodong City was aware of it, so the city gate was closed early. But at the top of the city, when the Goguryeo soldiers saw the Sui soldiers and horses rushing towards them, they all turned pale with fear!

As Lai Hong said, successive years of war have been a particularly heavy burden for Goguryeo. Goguryeo is not a country with a large population. Goguryeo as a whole only has a small population. In the past two years, successive wars have caused a loss of young people in the country.

It is tragic that most of the defenders in Liaodong City are forcibly captured Han men, and they are basically old and young. The older ones are in their fifties and sixties, and the younger ones are even eleven or twelve years old.

Children who are still childish! These people were temporarily recruited for military service. They have not received formal training at all, let alone go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!

"Damn it! Stand still for me! Stand still! Prepare your bows and arrows! Prepare your bows and arrows!" The Goguryeo general who stayed behind in Liaodong City can be considered a Goguryeo noble. Even though he looked sick and sick, he was nothing like the year before last and the year before last.

He participated in the battle with the Sui Dynasty! I heard that this guy was ruthless and once chopped off the heads of more than ten prisoners of the Sui army in one go! He also seemed to know that if he fell into the hands of the Sui army, he would definitely not end well, so he simply
Chapter completed!
