    In the afternoon, Ulji Mundeok ordered to reward the entire army.  Everyone had a good meal and rested for two hours.  When it was almost Xu, Baiyan City suddenly opened the east gate, and everyone in the city rushed eastward.

    To the north of Baiyan City is a mountain ridge, and to the south is a steep cliff that cannot be crossed by people.  Due to terrain reasons, the Sui army did not surround the entire Baiyan City.  Although they broke through the camp outside Baiyan City during the day and were able to reach the east gate, due to time constraints, the Sui army did not have time to complete the encirclement.

    When the Goguryeo people in the city suddenly opened the city gate and broke out, Huang Mingyuan on the opposite side was also surprised.

    Today's battle has been going on for a whole day, and all the participating troops are already exhausted.  But above the city, the Sui army still had the advantage, and had even occupied multiple sections of the city wall, so it was impossible to retreat even if it was getting late.  Only fight to the death until victory.

    The Guiyi Left Army that had fought a bloody battle had already withdrawn. The Guiyi Left Army suffered heavy casualties and the soldiers were exhausted. There was no point in letting them stay at the top of the city except to consume them.

    After Gao Jianzhuang withdrew, he apologized to Huang Mingyuan and blamed himself for not breaking the city.  Huang Mingyuan appreciated his knowledge and comforted him, and was very satisfied.

    In the evening, the sky was getting dark, and a large number of bonfires were lit outside the city, burning the sky red.  Because the army focused on the west gate, it inevitably ignored the others.  Huang Mingyuan did not expect that Ulji Munduk would be so decisive. In his opinion, even if Ulji Munduk really chose to break out, it would be at the end of the rope, and by that time Huang Mingli's pursuers had returned and happened to set up an ambush at the east gate.

    Huang Mingyuan was caught off guard by the current situation.

    The frontal battlefield has not been breached. If there is a large-scale pursuit of Eulji Mundeok, this person is likely to be ambushed by the opponent.  Now it's useless to chase fewer troops, but it's unrealistic to pursue too many troops, which really makes things difficult.

    In the end, Huang Mingyuan recruited 5,000 cavalry from the army and handed them all to Cai Zhiyun, ordering him to pursue Ulchi Wende and join forces with Huang Mingli.

    Not trying to annihilate the enemy, but to expel, confuse and harass them.

    Cai Zhiyun is a cautious and thoughtful person. He often faces battles. Although he does not achieve great victory, he does not lead to great defeat.

    Eulji Wende had already broken out of the encirclement. Although Huang Mingyuan still didn't know how many defenders were still in the city, Baiyan City was already surrounded by the Sui army.

    Huang Mingyuan ordered the entire army to attack and must break the city within twelve hours.

    At night, the line of sight was greatly reduced, and the thunder cannons, catapults, and bed crossbows that the Sui army originally relied on temporarily lost the opportunity to show their power.

    The siege at this time was even more of a physical battle.

    The narrow city wall was crowded with soldiers from both sides.  Every step forward was filled with corpses.  On the entire city wall, blood flowed like a river. After the blood solidified, it was extremely sticky when you stepped on it.  The entire Baiyan City has become a bloody city.

    The fighting between the two sides was fierce. Sun Daiyin, who was supervising the battle behind the army, saw that the situation was unsustainable. Sun Daiyin ordered the west city wall to be abandoned and the entire army to retreat to the inner city.

    The inner city is a small rectangular city, about twenty paces (40 meters) long and wide. It is one and a half feet higher than the outer city. It is extremely dangerous.

    For Sun Daiyin, instead of consuming troops in the outer city, it would be more beneficial to defend the dangerous inner city.  Of course, there are no springs in the inner city, so the water supply is insufficient and cannot last long.

    But this was not important to Sun Daiyin. The order he received was to hold on for twelve hours.

    The Goguryeo people withdrew towards the inner city, and the Sui army took the opportunity to swarm up and occupy the entire west gate wall.  The Sui army entering the city opened the city gate and let the main force enter the city.

    Huang Mingyuan ordered all ministries to seize important places in the city, and ordered people to surround the entire inner city.

    At this time, the attack on the outer city seems to be a success, but in fact, if you are not careful and are counterattacked by the opponent, your success will fall short.

    Huang Mingyuan did not let his men attack at night. After fighting for such a long time, everyone was exhausted.  At night, the Sui army's equipment advantage could not be brought into play, which was disadvantageous to the Sui army.

    When daybreak came the next day, Huang Mingyuan looked at the west wall of Baiyan City from the high platform, only to find that the wall was covered with corpses.  The west city wall is only five hundred steps away, not even two miles, but it has become a bloody wall.

    This battle greatly tested the Sui army's combat effectiveness.

    At this time, the inner city was not broken. Huang Mingyuan saw that it was difficult to get out of the inner city, so he sent people to the inner city to recruit surrender.

    Sun Daiyin neither surrendered nor went to fight. Instead, he asked the Sui army for one day's grace before making a decision.

    Of course, Huang Mingyuan would not foolishly give the opponent time to prepare for battle, but the inner city of Baiyan City was too dangerous, so Huang Mingyuan planned to build a slope to attack the city.So he pretended to be generous and agreed to Sun Daiyin's request.

    In the afternoon, Cai Zhiyun and Huang Mingli returned together.

    Huang Mingli chased Mei Long all the way, killing countless people along the way.  Meron's troops lacked organization and almost collapsed in the end.  Huang Mingli originally wanted to pursue Wugu City, but later the scout reported the news of Eulji Wende's breakthrough, and Huang Mingli returned to join forces with Cai Zhiyun.

    The two sides chased him all night, and found traces of Eulji Wende on the bank of Daliang River early the next morning.

    The two sides fought a battle, with no winner or loser.  At this time, the mountains became more and more undulating as they went east. Cai Zhiyun was worried about being ambushed, so he returned with Huang Mingli.

    The Sui troops in the city besieged the city for a day but did not attack.

    At dusk, a Goguryeo messenger suddenly came out of the inner city, asking to see Huang Mingyuan.

    It turns out that this was sent by Sun Daiyin to ask Huang Mingyuan to surrender.

    Huang Mingyuan was also very surprised by this. At first, he thought that the other party was pretending to surrender again. After all, the defenders in the city seemed to be determined to die. How come they were about to surrender after just one day.

    The envoy answered Huang Mingyuan¡¯s question. It turned out that Eulji Wende wanted Sun Daiyin to defend Baiyan City for twelve hours before breaking out.  Sun Daiyin had been on guard for twelve hours and completed Eulji Mundeok's order, but was unable to break through.

    Sun Daiyin consciously defended Baekyan Castle and repaid Ulji Mundeok's kindness for the whole army.  He did not want to die fighting for this, so he chose to surrender.

    Huang Mingyuan was still a little doubtful at this time. Only when Sun Daiyin opened the city gate, naked, led the soldiers in the city to put down their weapons, and knelt at the gate to ask for permission, Huang Mingyuan dared to believe it.

    The inner city of Baiyan City surrendered without a fight, saving the Sui army a lot of trouble.

    Huang Mingyuan admires Sun Daiyin very much. This kind of person can uphold loyalty and know practical things. He is a talent.  Huang Mingyuan smiled and pulled Sun Daiyin up, and put his cloak on him.  Sun Daiyin thought he would be humiliated by surrendering, but he didn't expect Huang Mingyuan to be so polite.

    Huang Mingyuan took Sun Daiyin's hand and said: "General Sun, don't worry, you surrender to me, Sui Dynasty. I can't guarantee anything else, but Huang Mingyuan has been in the army for more than ten years and has never left any troops behind."

    Sun Daiyin¡¯s eyes immediately turned red.

    Huang Mingyuan took Sun Daiyin as the front army to return to Yi, with Sun Daiyin as the commander.

    The three armies were repairing in Baiyan City for two days, and Huang Mingyuan was preparing to continue to attack eastward. At this time, the emperor's edict came in a hurry from Liaodong City.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
