    The long river has turbulent blue waves.  Looking at the duck water in front of him, Huang Mingyuan had a lot of thoughts.  The water of this river divided the Central Plains and Jizi Korea in half. More than a thousand years later, the river is still there, but this homeland once cultivated by the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties has never returned to the embrace of the motherland.

    Huang Mingyuan's 50,000-strong army formed an array on the west bank of Yalu River.

    The army jumped out of the Wugushan defense line and bypassed Wenda's main force. The space for maneuver was suddenly wide open.  At this time, whether he was going north along the Yalu River, or crossing the river to the south, and attacking Pyongyang directly, the initiative on the battlefield was in Huang Mingyuan's hands.

    But whether he was going north or south, Huang Mingyuan had no choice. Instead, he ordered the army to camp on the spot and dig deep trenches, thinking that he would hold on.

    Of course, that¡¯s not all. Huang Mingyuan also ordered Luo Yi of the left army to lead three thousand cavalry across the Yalu River and head south.  Along the way, they did not engage in battle with the main force of the Goguryeo army, but only burned and killed to create panic.

    Luo Yi happily led his troops south, which only made everyone a little confused.

    At this time, Da Xihao asked Huang Mingyuan: "Duke Wei, our army is moving forward with light vehicles and lacks food. It is best to defeat the enemy quickly. But Wei Gong chose to stand firm. If our army runs out of food, what will happen next?"  There is no way forward or backward here, so wouldn¡¯t it be dangerous?¡±

    Huang Mingyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry if you come here, it won't be like this."

    Huang Mingyuan didn't point it out, and everyone didn't understand. They had to hold their temper and wait for Huang Mingyuan's next order.

    What everyone doesn¡¯t know is that there is a strange army hidden here in Bozhuo City, which is more than a hundred miles away.

    For later generations, landing warfare is almost the most common and common way of war.  A successful landing battle can almost win the war, such as Normandy or Inchon.  However, in this era, the naval construction of East Asian countries was underdeveloped, logistics and supplies were poor, and they had almost never experienced wars involving sea landings and attacks.  Of course Lai Huer was a pioneer, but because his aggressive war failed, his offensive method became a wrong case.

    This time Goguryeo deployed a lot of troops near Pyongyang, so it was not worried about the Sui army coming from the sea again.  Of course, Huang Mingyuan never thought of raiding Pyongyang, but instead targeted Yalu River.  If the Sui Navy can control the Yalu River and cut off the connection between the two sides, at least cutting off the communication between the Goguryeo army, then the Sui army can orderly annihilate the Goguryeo army in Liaodong and occupy everywhere.

    This is also consistent with Huang Mingyuan¡¯s original strategy of coexisting with Goguryeo across Yalu River.

    For this reason, Huang Mingyuan had been thinking about this matter as early as when he was in Luoyang.

    The more Huang Mingyuan thought about it, the more he realized that this was not just an idea on paper. The distance from Beishe City to Yalu Shuikou was only over a hundred nautical miles, and there were many islands along the way and the sea was calm. As long as you followed the coastline, it would not be very difficult to get here.  Moreover, the Sui Navy at this time had rich maritime experience. The general in charge of commanding the navy, Zhou Fashang, and Lai Huer, attacked Pyongyang directly from Donglai.

    Huang Mingyuan made up his mind to raid the Yalu River Estuary.

    So when rushing from Tianjin to Liaodong, Huang Mingyuan ordered that after Zhou Fashang covered the three guards of the Forbidden Army to Liaodong, he and the Zuowu Guards set out from Beishe City and rushed to Yalu Shuikou.  Finally occupy one or two cities along the coast, and then wait for orders.

    At this time, in the Zuowu Guards, Feng An was transferred to the Chinese Army to participate in the war by Huang Mingyuan, Cai Zhiyun was transferred to the Zuo Army as the general manager, and the actual commander of the Zuowu Guards was Huang Mingli.

    Huang Mingli and Zhou Fashang set off immediately after receiving the order.

    Everyone walked eastward along the coastline.  It was the first time for Zuo Wuwei's army to take a boat ride, and he was unsure.  On this sea, the ship was shaking, and everyone was feeling dizzy. They were vomiting until the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and they almost vomited out the gall.

    " After such a bumpy journey on the water, everyone finally discovered the boundless sea and entered a wide current.

    Zhou Fashang speculated that this big river was the Yalu River, so he told Huang Mingli that if you go upstream for dozens of miles, you will reach Bozhuocheng, a large city in Liaodong.

    Huang Mingli was overjoyed when he heard this. After being bumpy on the sea for so long, he could finally land ashore.

    Everyone knows about Bo Zhuo City.  Bozhuocheng, also called Xi'an Pingcheng, was the seat of the Han Dynasty's Xi'an Ping County. Huang Mingzhen once conquered this place during the first Eastern Expedition.  Bozhuo City is connected to the inner city on the upper side and Yalu Shuikou is controlled on the lower side. If you occupy this city, you can obtain the bridgehead across the river.  When the Sui Navy and Zuo Wuwei controlled this place, they could cut off the connection between Liaodong and Goguryeo.

    The two then unanimously decided to attack Bozhuo City.

    At this time, the combined strength of the two armies was nearly 50,000, which was sufficient.  Moreover, the Goguryeo people were all focused on the front of Liaodong, and they would not have thought that an enemy would suddenly come from the sea., will definitely be unprepared.

    Huang Mingli and Zhou Fashang selected 5,000 combatable soldiers from the army and gave them to Huang Mingli to command.

    The people were twenty miles away from Bozhuo City and then landed.  The crowd attacked a guard post and killed more than a dozen Goguryeo sentries.

    Seeing that they were very close to Bozhuo City, in order to avoid alerting the Goguryeo army, Huang Mingli ordered Xi Jing to select 20 cavalrymen, put on Goguryeo clothes, and disguise themselves as the Goguryeo army.

    Everyone rode on their horses and ran all the way to the city.

    The soldiers in front shouted in Goguryeo: "Wugucheng battle report, Wugucheng battle report!"

    The Goguryeo army on Bozhuo City also didn't know the reason and was unprepared.  When Xi Jie approached, a small leader of the Bozhuo City garrison came up to ask. Xi Jie stabbed the opponent head-on with a spear.

    While the other party was still surprised, the leading soldier just now shouted again: "According to the orders of General Wenda, Li Zhiluo rebelled. I will come and take over Bozhuo City. Anyone who surrenders will avoid death."

    For a moment, everyone was completely confused and at a loss as to what to do.

    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xi Jue raised his spear and leapt into the city.  He drew out the sword from his waist and slashed at the iron chain of the moat.  This sword was given to Xi Ding by Huang Mingyuan. It can break iron. Xi Ding slashed it several times and the iron chain was cut off.

    The rest of the people followed and rushed into the city gate. Anyone who dared to stand in the way was killed.  So many people who didn't know the situation knelt down and asked to surrender.

    Seeing the chaos at the city gate, Li Heshi, the city gate guard, hurriedly ordered people to capture Xi Jing and others.

    Xi Jinyi looked at the leader and knew that he could not let the other party organize himself, so he picked up the spear in his hand and threw it at Li Heshi.

    Li He had no time to dodge, and the spear penetrated his chest and was directly nailed to death.

    "Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy."

    Xi Jiao¡¯s methods made everyone feel scared. Seeing that the general was dead, the others were all frightened by Xi Jiao.

    Huang Mingli quickly followed up with the main force, following the path that Xi Jie and others had fought, and successfully entered the city.  There were less than 3,000 defenders in Bozhuo City. They were caught off guard and were completely annihilated by the Sui army.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
