    After taking Wuliluo City, the Sui army immediately attacked the west bank of the Liao River, with hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides facing each other across the river.

    At this time, the Goguryeo people took advantage of the danger to defend, and the Sui army crossed the river in small groups several times, but without success.

    After Yang Guang arrived at the Liao River, he ordered Yu Wenkai, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, to build a pontoon bridge on the west bank of the Liao River.  For the Sui army, building a pontoon bridge was very suitable, but the problem was how to build this pontoon bridge right under the opponent's nose.

    The last time the Sui Dynasty fought with Goguryeo was more than ten years ago, and everyone did not understand the strength of Goguryeo.  However, it is impossible for the Goguryeo people to reach millions of elites from the Sui Dynasty, so all the generals invited them to be the vanguard.

    Three years after the great cause, everyone tried their best to achieve success.  In the last western expedition to Tuyuhun, all the generals from Huang Mingyuan onwards had made great achievements in the expedition to Tuyuhun and received many awards, which made everyone envious. This time there was such a good opportunity, and no one was scrambling to be the first.

    At this time, Mai Tiezhang, the general of Zuotunwei, could not fight because he was not accustomed to the climate and the soil, and was ill. However, the generals asked for a fight, and he could not fall behind, so he ran to Yang Guang and asked to be the vanguard.

    I don¡¯t know if Yang Guang is stupid or not, but he actually agreed to this matter.

    Wu Jingxian, the doctor in charge of Mai Tiezhang, thought that Mai Tiezhang's body had not recovered yet, and hoped that Mai Tiezhang would stay in the rear army to rest. Mai Tiezhang said: "A man's life is in his own hands. How can he burn the bridge of his nose with a moxa stick or a melon?"  The pedicel smells good in the nostrils, and it is good at curing yellowing, but he dies lying in the arms of his children!"

    Early on the next morning, Yu Wenkai commanded the servants to build three pontoon bridges on the Liao River.  The pontoon starts from the west bank and extends to the east bank.  The Goguryeo navy was not strong enough and did not dare to fight the Sui navy, so they had to watch the Sui army build a pontoon bridge all the way to the east bank of the river.

    Mai Tiezhang led the Zuotun Guards and followed the men who were building the bridge, then headed east along the unbuilt pontoon bridge.

    Mai Tiezhang is brave and powerful. When he was young, he could travel five hundred miles a day. When he ran, he could catch up with galloping horses. He often accompanied his subordinates to answer questions, was the first to get into battle, and was unstoppable.

    At this time, in order to open the gap as soon as possible, Mai Tiezhang took the lead and rushed to the front.

    Mai Tiezhang's three sons all stopped Mai Tiezhang from rushing to the front, but Mai Tiezhang said to his son: "I have been favored by the country for a long time, and today should be the time to die for the country. If I die in the battle, you will  Wealth. In terms of loyalty and filial piety, I hope you will work harder."

    Mai Tiezhang holds a spear and leaps on the horse, no one can stop it.

    The pontoon bridge extended all the way to the east bank. At this time, a large force of troops suddenly rushed out of the originally silent Goguryeo camp. At this time, the pontoon bridge was still several feet away from the other bank.

    Mai Tiezhang was shocked. Once he was blocked by the Goguryeo people on the river bank, he would be defeated today.

    In order to buy time for the servants to build the bridge, Mai Tiezhang jumped up on his horse and rushed to the other side.  The Zuotun guards behind him also jumped into the water and swam ashore.

    "The time to serve the country is today!"

    Mai Tiezhang led hundreds of soldiers to the river bank and strangled them with a large number of Goguryeo troops.

    Although the Sui army was brave and fearless of death, the Goguryeo people took advantage of the high terrain and shot down the Sui army.  Countless Sui soldiers were shot to death in the water before they even boarded the river bank. The blood of Sui soldiers stained the east bank of the Liao River red.

    Although the Mai Tiezhang was brave, the Goguryeo people kept coming like a tide and killed them endlessly.  Mai Tiezhang and his personal guards rushed left and right, but they were still unable to break through the Goguryeo defense line. Instead, they were gradually surrounded by the opponent.  The Goguryeo people were not stupid either. They realized that Mai Tiezhang was the main general, so they mobilized a large number of troops to Mai Tiezhang's side.  The number of guards around Mai Tiezhang became less and less as he fought, and his strength was in danger.

    At this time, the person in charge of the response on the west bank of the river was Qian Shixiong, the general of Zuotun Guard Hu Benlang.

    Seeing that Mai Tiezhang was under heavy siege, Qian Shixiong prepared to lead his troops to rush over from the pontoon to rescue Mai Tiezhang.

    At this time, his subordinate General Huang Mingxin advised: "Our army can only support the front army through three pontoon bridges. The pontoon bridges are narrow and difficult for many people to pass. Such support can be said to be a refueling tactic, and it is entering the center of the Goguryeo people."  . General Lang ordered all the brothers to board the ship and rush to the other side. Although the ship is slower, it can carry more troops, which is advantageous."

    Huang Mingxin is the second son of Huang Mingyuan's third uncle Huang Meng. He is the eighth in the family and is twenty-two years old this year.  Huang Mingxin once followed Huang Ming in his expedition against Tuyuhun, and later awarded him the title of "Eagle Striker" for his merits.  Later, Huang Mingyang realized that all his brothers were an eyesore in the Zuowu Guards, so he transferred them to the Zuotun Guards.

    Although Qian Shixiong felt that Huang Mingxin was right, Mai Tiezhang was in danger on the other side at this time and could not wait to take the boat.  Therefore, Qian Shixiong ordered the Yingyang Mansion to cross the river by boat, and he personally led hundreds of elites to pass through the pontoon to rescue Mai.Iron rod.

    At this time, Mai Tiezhang was surrounded by the army, with less than a hundred personal guards around him, and everyone took them with them.  Seeing that more and more Goguryeo people were gathering around him, and he couldn't even see the side, Mai Tiezhang knew that he might not be able to survive today's battle.

    By this time, Mai Tiezhang¡¯s horse had long been shot and died, and Mai Tiezhang himself had been injured on his legs and shoulders.

    Everyone fought and retreated, retreating to a large rock, no longer able to charge.

    The Goguryeo people rushed up one after another, and Mai Tiezhang's personal guards all died fighting to protect him.  Seeing that there was no hope of breaking out, Mai Tiezhang did not want to be captured by the opponent, so he said: "I have followed your Majesty for twenty years, fighting in the north and south. I didn't expect to die today at the hands of a small country. I wish I could see the children of Goguryeo destroyed." So he cut himself with a knife.  .  His general Huben Lang, Meng Jincha and others also died in the battle.

    Qian Shixiong rushed to the river bank, but was also stopped by the Goguryeo people.  Seeing General Mai Tiezhang commit suicide, my heart felt like a knife, but there was nothing I could do.

    The soldiers of Zuotunwei were still fighting alone. When they saw Mai Tiezhang's death, they all cried bitterly.

    Soon, Huang Mingxin and other nearly 10,000 Zuotun guards arrived on the east bank of the river and strangled the Goguryeo people.

    Huang Mingxin was already in the mourning period. He was wearing mourning clothes and a white cloth on his head. He took the lead and shouted: "Today the general died fighting for the country. Even if we die, we cannot let the general's body be humiliated."  The hand of a Goguryeo child.¡±

    So Huang Mingxin rushed forward and stabbed a Goguryeo cavalry head on.  He got on his horse, used his own arrows, and led his men to massacre the Goguryeo army, as if they were in an uninhabited land.

    The Goguryeo people could not resist, so Huang Mingxin moved forward and rushed to the corpse of Mai Tiezhi, and then carried the corpse of Mai Tiezhi back to the river bank with him.

    Seeing that Huang Mingxin was like a god descending to earth, the Goguryeo people were afraid and gave way one after another.

    More and more Zuotun guards landed, and the balance of victory gradually shifted to the Goguryeo army.  Yu Wenkai directed everyone to extend the pontoon bridge to reach the east bank of the river.

    In this battle, the main force of the Zuotun Guards, 20,000 people, fought tooth and nail, but the Goguryeo army could not resist and suffered more than 10,000 casualties, so they retreated.  The Sui army successfully crossed the Liao River and occupied the east bank of the river.

    With Goguryeo's Liao River defense line broken, the main force of the Sui army began to cross the Liao River and march eastward.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
