    Seeing that on the entire battlefield, except for Ulchi Mundeok's formation, there was no Goguryeo army that could resist, Huang Mingyuan ordered the battlefield to be swept, and then withdrew to the camp.

    Eulji Wende seemed to be relieved that the Sui army stopped attacking. He watched the Sui army leave before retreating to the city.

    In this battle, the Sui army wiped out more than 20,000 enemies, which greatly damaged the morale of the Goguryeo people.  But this is the most terrifying thing for the Goguryeo army, because after these few battles, Goguryeo's fear of the Sui army has grown day by day, and the morale boosted by the previous battle of Sashui has long been gone.

    Eulji Wende was also helpless. He finally knew how Jiang Yishi felt in Liaodong City. He couldn't beat him again and again, and he couldn't defend it. It was really frustrating.

    "The most painful thing in the Goguryeo army was actually not Ulji Mundeok, but Maeron.

    In this battle, more than half of the 30,000 Mei family's troops were lost. Mei Long's second brother Mei Wen also died in the battle, and the Mei family's army was severely weakened.  After the Sui army hung the heads of Goguryeo generals including Mei Wen outside the camp for public display, Mei Long's resentment became even more intense.  Of course, in addition to hating the Sui army, he also hated Ulji Mundeok.

    After the war, Maeron, who had suffered heavy losses, did not bother to reorganize the army, so he rushed to Ulji Mundeok and asked Ulji Mundeok why he did not rescue his troops, which led to his troops' disastrous defeat.

    Eulji Mundeok has a cautious and low-key personality, and he is also a marshal. He is worried about Yuan Taejo and does not dare to deal with Meilong, but he will not let everyone laugh at him.

    "Don't you usually think of yourself as invincible? You claim to have beaten the Sui army to pieces, so how can you expect others to come to the rescue?"

    Eulji Munduk directly asked people to blast Mayron out.

    Mei Long was indignant. If he hadn't been pulled back by Sun You, who was also a general, he might have made a big fuss in the Chinese army.  But even so, Meilong was jealous of Ulji Mundeok, so he directly led his troops out of Baekyan Castle and stationed in the camp outside the city without reporting it to Ulji Mundeok.

    At this time, in order to retaliate against Eulji Wende, Meilong sent a letter to his brother-in-law Yuan Taizuo, reporting that Eulji Wende had colluded with the Sui army and seemed to have counter-intentions.  If Eulji Mundeok deliberately fell into Baekam Castle, Goguryeo would be in danger.  For Meilong or most of the aristocratic families, it didn't matter whether Ulji Mundeok colluded with the Sui army or not. The most important thing was to overthrow Ulji Mundeok and seize the opportunity to seize power from Yangyang King Gowon.

    Relying on the power of his family, Meilong secretly contacted some generals from aristocratic families in the army and jointly filed a complaint against Gowon, vowing to overthrow Ulji Mundeok.

    ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤

    Of course, these struggles cannot change the situation in Baekyan City for the time being, but the seeds have been planted, and the fate of Eulji Mundeok is no longer in his own hands, but depends on the game between King Yangyang Gowon and Yeon Taejo.

    Both sides rested for a night, and early the next morning, Huang Mingyuan ordered an attack on the city.

    This time, due to the geographical location of Baiyan City, it was impossible to be like Liaodong City. Therefore, Huang Mingyuan had to build ladders, rush cars and other objects to start regular attacks.

    However, the three trenches, three fences, archer formations and catapult formations outside Baiyan City are really a huge threat to the siege army.

    At this time, Huang Mingyuan captured the Goguryeo tribesmen from the surrounding cities and came in handy.

    Goguryeo is a country, a political power that existed in Northeast China and the Korean Peninsula from the first century BC to the seventh century AD.  Its people are mainly Haoqian, Fuyu and Han people, and later absorbed some Mohe people, survivors of ancient Korea and Sanhan people.  The Goguryeo people are a nation with not many people.

    As a multi-ethnic country, its ethnic issues are equally acute.  The strategy that Huang Mingyuan has been pursuing in Liaodong is to attack the real Goguryeo people and win over other ethnic groups.  In fact, in the Liaodong region, there are not many Han people, and together with the Xianbei people, it is enough to set off a huge momentum.

    Huang Mingyuan drove more than 20,000 Goguryeo people outside Baiyan City and asked these people to carry soil to fill the trenches.

    Driving the common people to attack the city has always been the best method of the Hu people. In history, the Qing Dynasty often used this strategy to attack the city when they entered the pass.  If the defenders fell into the trap and did not resist, the city could be conquered; even if the defenders shot these people to death with tears in their eyes, their morale would be greatly reduced.

    In order to attack the city, the Sui army had already prepared tens of thousands of bags of soil.

    At this time, the Goguryeo people were ordered to rush to the ditch with a bag each, and anyone who dared to resist would be shot immediately.  Sure enough, these people rushed to the opposite side desperately to escape for their lives.

    If it were anyone else, even shooting these Goguryeo people would be understood.  But Eulji is not a man of virtue. He is not from Goguryeo. Asking him to order arrows to be fired is tantamount to asking the two devils to kill the devils to defend the city. What do you think of the real devils?

    Eulji Wende is also a ruthless person. Seeing the trench being filled up little by little, he knows very well that if he continues like thisHe was worried about gain and loss, which played into the Sui army's plan, so he had to order his soldiers to fight back and not let anyone get close to the trench.

    Seeing that Goguryeo's catapults and crossbowmen began to fight back, Huang Mingyuan smiled, but he was happy.  No matter how right you are now, the officials in Pyongyang City will not feel the same way.  Moreover, there is also Mei Long, who is afraid that he will report the situation here to Pyongyang City in an exaggerated manner.

    Countless corpses soon fell in front of the trench. Mei Long roared and grabbed Ulji Mundeok and shouted: "Ulji Mundeok, do you know that those are Chinese? I think you are a Sui spy.  ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡±

    Eulji Mundeok didn¡¯t even look at it, and said directly: ¡°The enemy is at hand and has disturbed the morale of our troops, so move out.¡±

    Someone had already stepped forward to grab Mei Long and drag him out.  Mei Long kept roaring and cursed: "Ulji Mundeok, you are a spy of the Han army, you are deliberately trying to harm me, Goguryeo."

    Meron was dragged far away, leaving only his roar echoing.

    No one spoke, but everyone knew that what Mei Long said just now hit everyone's heart hard.

    Seeing that Goguryeo began to attack, Huang Mingyuan immediately ordered the thunder cannons and crossbows in the military formation to counterattack.  At this time, both sides were going back and forth, and from time to time someone would be accidentally hit and fall down.

    The Sui army did not care about the life or death of the Goguryeo people anyway.

    The Sui army's thunder cannons were able to bombard Goguryeo's catapults, but the Goguryeo catapults were cruder than the previous Sui army's catapults. However, they could project for forty or fifty steps and were light in weight. Therefore, they were bombarded by the thunder cannons not long after they were bombarded back and forth.  And exploded to pieces.  As for the archers in front of the army, they were unable to withstand the crossbows and thunder cannons.  Every boulder struck into the crowd caused countless casualties; every short spear penetrated in front of people and killed several people like a skewer of candied haws.  These archers suffered heavy casualties and were already out of formation.

    Eulji Wende had no choice but to transfer these people back to the city.

    As for the trench outside the city, we had to give up.

    Countless boulders from the Sui army continued to bombard the city walls and fences. As for the rows of fences, they had long since collapsed.  These Goguryeo people who were held as coolies threw thousands of bags of sand and soil outside the city and finally filled up the trenches outside the city.

    At this point, the real offensive and defensive battle will begin.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
