The thousandth and thirteenth chapter leaves the green hills

On April 24th, Cui Hongsheng, the general of the Left Wu Gu, led his army to Wu Gu City, and Wu Gu was shocked.

The rapid attack speed of the Middle-Turkish army was something that had never happened since the outbreak of the war, which surprised Jiang Yiwei. He realized that the Middle-Turkish people had learned the lessons of the failure of the attack in the past two years, no longer fought for the gains and losses of a city and a place, and no longer focused on attacking Liaodong City. Instead, they had clear goals. After crossing the Liao River, they rushed to kill Pyongyang and devoted all their efforts to achieve their contributions. This disrupted Goguryeo's established deployment and placed Pyongyang in a dangerous situation.

Because Pyongyang tasted the sweetness in the war in the previous two years, he made a re-use of the same plan this year. He still used two important towns, Liaodong and Wugu, to delay the opponent's attack speed and delay the opponent's attack time when the opponent attacked Pyongyang. Jiang Yiwei was one of the military leaders who insisted on this strategy. Who would have expected that human calculations were not as difficult as heaven's calculations. Although Pyongyang had overestimated the difficulty of the situation this year, he was still too optimistic about the battle situation. Perhaps the victory of two consecutive years made them seriously underestimate their opponents, and as a result, they shot themselves in the foot. As soon as the third year's war began, they were in a crisis.

Faced with the change, Jiang Yiwei was hesitant and difficult to make a decision. Should he actively respond to the situation, lead the main force to retreat to the east bank of Yalu Water, defend the Yalu Water defense line, or continue to use the main force to stick to the black bones, and do his best to drag the Middle-Turkish army to the west bank of Yalu Water?

How to make a decision depends on one key factor, that is, did the Middle-earth people adjust their attack strategy this year? To know this answer, we must first figure out whether the Middle-earth army that has reached Wugu City is the main army of Middle-earth or its vanguard. If it is only the vanguard of Middle-earth people and the number of people is limited, its main purpose is to deter opponents and do not have the basic conditions to force the Yalu Water to kill Pyongyang. It cannot prove that the Middle-earth people have changed their attack strategy this year. Then Jiang Yiwei does not need to quickly transfer the main army deployed on the west coast of Yalu Water to the east coast to defend.

The defender is very passive when placing the city. If you want to use this method to achieve the goal of restraining your opponent, you must first take the opponent step by step and be determined to compete for every city and every place. The Middle-earth people are arrogant and think that their strength can crush Goguryeo, so they attacked Liaodong City two years ago. As a result, they failed to defeat them for a long time, which took manpower and precious time, and lost consecutive battles. The same mistakes can be made by the Middle-earth people once, twice, but the possibility of making three is small.

Jiang Yiwei was hesitant, and his generals also had their own opinions and argued fiercely.

The chief of the General's Office, Nakamuro, insisted that judging from the known military situation, after the war entered its third year, the Middle-earth people were at the end of their strength and could not support it. The most obvious sign was that so far, there had not received any news of the Middle-earth imperial commander's personal expedition, nor did they receive any news of the Middle-earth military recruitment.

"It is understandable that the Middle Turkish emperor did not personally lead the army, but the East has not increased its troops for the past six months. This is enough to show that there is a problem within China. Perhaps it is because of the military force that has led to the decline of national strength, the supply of food and supplies, or foreign enemies attacking the border, restraining and dispersing the Middle Turkish troops. In short, China has no great advantage in the Liaodong battlefield, and it is very difficult to attack Pyongyang for a long distance. Therefore, we must be calm, confident, and have extraordinary courage to hold on to the city. We will drag the Middle Turkish army west of Yalu River at all costs, erecting an insurmountable barrier for Pyongyang."

Nakamuji had a clear position and insisted on his established strategy from the standpoint of Pyongyang, but his words were immediately sharply questioned by the general Lynn Ke Yiwan.

"Do you have any definite news that the Middle Turkish emperor did not personally attack, and the East Capital did not increase its troops. There were only more than 100,000 Middle Turkish troops that invaded Goguryeo this time? If you did not, you just rely on some inaccurate news to infer the above conclusion, then we must believe the facts in front of us. The facts in front of us are that the Middle Turkish army has reached Wugu City, and has tens of thousands of troops. The attack speed is very fast and the desire to attack is very strong. Once their target is Pyongyang, siege the city without attacking, quickly cross the Yalu River, arrive at the city of Pyongyang before the rainy season, and win yourself four to five months of siege, then Pyongyang is in danger and Goguryeo is in danger. Therefore, we cannot hesitate. We must make a quick decision, and the main force decisively evacuate Wugu City, defend heavily on the east coast of Yalu River, and use the natural danger of Yalu Water to block the invasion of the Middle Turkish people."

With the natural danger of Yalu Water, it is relatively proactive in defending. Even if it is lost, it can fight and retreat. It is forced to retreat to Pyongyang and survive and die with Pyongyang. However, when it is defended by the city, the main army is trapped in the city and unable to move. It can only watch the enemy's main army swaying towards Pyongyang, and see Pyongyang being poisoned by the war and being powerless.

"The battle has just begun, and the enemy has just reached the city of Wugu. The situation is still unclear and the situation is not clear. We panic, and we even retreated in a hurry. Without the consent of Pyongyang and the king, we retreated through Yalu River without permission. This will not only seriously damage morale and morale, but also destroy Pyongyang's established strategy and seriously endanger the survival of Goguryeo."

Nakamuji could not respond to Ke Yiwan's doubts positively. In desperation, he had to put a lot of "hats" on Ke Yiwan indiscriminately, accusing him of being afraid of fighting and suspected of escaping at the last minute.

Ke Yi was furious, but it was of great importance. The quarrel was useless. We had to argue with reason and convince Jiang Yiwei to make the right decision immediately.

"Although the battle has just begun, the situation of the war has actually become clear. Deceiving oneself cannot solve the problem, but will make the problem more serious." Ke Yiwan glared at Nakamuji, his tone was very cold and solemn. "The indisputable fact before us is that during the three years of invasion, although the Middle-earth people launched attacks after the beginning of summer, the time when the army was approached Yalu Water was very different. In the past two years, the Middle-earth people were delayed until mid-summer or before the rainy season in late summer came. This time, the Middle-earth people killed at Wugu City only on the twelfth day after the attack began, and there was only a hundred miles away from Yalu Water."

Ke Yiwan looked at the generals in the hall, looked at Jiang Yiwei who was concentrating and pondering, and said loudly, "Isn't this a problem yet? The battle situation is not clear enough? The situation is not serious enough?"

"The scout just sent an urgent report. The commander of the Central Turkish army, which was coming from the wind and lightning, was Cui Hongsheng, the general of the Left Wu Guard. A general charged at the front line with tens of thousands of soldiers. Is it just a bloody feeling? It is just a threat to Pyongyang? It is still at least a month and a half before the rainy season. In such a long time, the Central Turkish general and tens of thousands of soldiers did not cross the Yalu River and attacked Pyongyang, but were unable to stop and delayed in attacking Wugu City. Is it possible?"

Ke Yiwan stared at Nakamuri, who had no expression on his face, and couldn't help but ask, "Is this your wishful thinking, or are you turning a blind eye and turning a deaf ear?"

Nakamuji was blushed and angry, and argued without thinking, "The sudden acceleration of the attack by the Middle-Earth people does not mean that the Middle-Earth people will go deep alone and will attack Pyongyang in a harsh situation where food and grass are not maintained. The great defeat of Sashui in the previous year was a lesson from the past. Even though the Middle-Earth people have absolute advantages in military strength and have sufficient attack time, without the support of continuous food and supplies, they are just a tree without water, no roots, and they are powerless to attack. More importantly, they cannot afford another great defeat, and the generals of Middle-Earth did not dare to take a risk to fight."

"Learning from the past?" Ke Yiwan sneered and sneered, "Can we create another miracle in your eyes? We can defeat the strong again with the weak and win the second Sashui victory? Is Goguryeo today stronger than before the war, and Pyongyang today stronger than three years ago?"

"Why can't you? Why can't you destroy yourself and gain the ambition of others? Why don't you have the confidence to create another miracle?" Nakamuji shouted loudly, waving his hands.

"Why can't?" Ke Yiwan couldn't bear it anymore, and pointed to the direction of Yalushui and roared angrily, "Look at how many people died on both sides of Yalushui? Look at how many corpses of the elderly, weak, women and children are in the fields of Qianli, naked? Fighting is not based on confidence, courage, but on strength, and food and weapons. You can see clearly with your eyes wide open. Under the current situation, if we want to defend Pyongyang, we must first preserve our limited strength and concentrate all our strength to defend Pyongyang, and we should not disperse our limited forces to cities and cities. Imagine that the Middle-earth people will compete with us for the gains and losses of one city and one place. This is purely a delusion. Serve others by oneself and ignore the facts. The final result will definitely harm others and oneself and destroy our country's fortunes."

The fierce debate in Wugu City could not stop the progress of the Middle-Turkish army. The scouts flew in like snow, and the footsteps of the report were getting hurried and their voices became more and more frightened.

"The Middle-Turkish army has broken through and blocked the block and entered the fort three miles away from Wuguxicheng."

"The Central Turkish army launched an attack on Wugunan City, and Nancheng asked for help."

"The Central and Turkish army is attacking Wugu East City, intending to cut off the passage between Wugu City and Yalu Water. The situation is extremely critical."

"The Central Turkish army began to attack Wugubeicheng, and Jinkou, Beicheng was attacked violently. Jinkou was about to fall, so I asked for support."

Ke Yiwan saw Jiang Yiwei not making a decision for a long time, and was angry and shouted at him, "General, the Middle-earth people are surrounding Wugu City. Once the road to Yalu Water is cut off, we are trapped on all sides and cannot fly. General, dusk is coming, please make a decision quickly, as it is too late."

Zhongshiji also insisted on his own opinion and tried his best to advise Jiang Yiwei, "General, once we evacuate Wugu and abandon the important town, we will set up Liaodong City in isolation. Liaodong City is in a dilemma of lack of strong support, and it will be difficult for the lasting battle. Liaodong City is lost, Wugu will also abandon it. The entire west of Yalu River is lost. The situation is extremely unfavorable to me. At that time, the Middle-earth people have an absolute advantage. Even if they no longer attack Pyongyang, they can confront me with the danger of Yalu River and take all the land west of Yalu River. Such consequences are unimaginable, and the day of the country's demise is near."

Ke Yiwan's intention was to give up the land west of Yalu River, preserve its strength, and strive to ensure that Pyongyang is not lost, and to ensure that the land east of Yalu River is not lost. However, in this way, the immediate interests will be preserved, but Goguryeo will be dark in the future, while Nakamuji hopes that the Middle-earth people will make mistakes, and they are lucky. They try to use limited power to drag the Middle-earth army to the west of Yalu River to create another miracle. In this way, although the immediate interests may not be preserved, and even live and die with the city, they are burned, but they also have a heavy blow to the Middle-earth people. Goguryeo will have a day to make a comeback in the future.

However, are Middle-earth and Goguryeo a hierarchy rival?

Jiang Yiwei made a resolute decision, and would rather slap himself in the face and deny himself, and violate Pyongyang's established strategy, he would rather decisively withdraw from the black bones and retreat east of Yalu Water. Stay in the green mountains without fear of no firewood. As long as the army is still there and its strength remains, Goguryeo will not perish.

"Retreat!" Jiang Yiwei waved his hand and ordered sternly, "The main force retreated east overnight." Then he pointed to Zhongshiji, "Give you two thousand soldiers, stick to the black bones, be sure to hold on to the Middle-earth people, and give the main force the Yalu Water east to win at least one day."

"One hundred thousand fires reported to Pyongyang urgently, and reported to General Yizhi. The battle situation suddenly changed, and the Middle-earth people rushed to Yalu River and pointed at Pyongyang. Our army was caught off guard, and the main force quickly retreated east of Yalu River and defended the danger. Please support quickly to ensure that Yalu River is not lost and Pyongyang's safety."
