"I'm such a crow's mouth...Zhou Yafu, Li Guang will deal with the enemy as soon as possible, and Hua Mulan will lead the cavalry back to the defense!"

Chu Tian was always paying attention to the situation on the entire battlefield. After being alarmed by the arrival of Goryeo reinforcements, he ordered the most flexible Hua Mulan's troops to make adjustments.

At this time, Hua Mulan led the light cavalry to attack the opponent's flank, killing more than a dozen Korean soldiers, and blood spattered on the Han Xuanjia.

When the messenger found her and asked her to return to defense, Hua Mulan rushed out with the light cavalry and deployed to the south to block the Korean reinforcements.

The besieged Goryeo lord held an iron sword with his hands trembling. The combination of Xiliu Camp and Shesheng Camp moved forward inexorably. His men and horses fell to the ground in pieces, while he led his soldiers towards the hillside.

Fleeing in the dense forest, he no longer had time to command the army.

"Our reinforcements from Korea are finally here!"

He was overjoyed when he saw a large number of Goryeo cavalry appearing in the dusty southern canyon on the hillside, flying the Goryeo Taegeuk flag.

"The thieves are all here, why don't we retreat for the time being."

Fang Xuanling roughly judged the strength of the opponent's troops through the sand and dust.

"retreat!"

Chu Tian clenched his fists. Originally, it was possible to annihilate this entire Goryeo army in this battle.

The reinforcements coming from the other side may not be just one lord, but the strength of two lords or three lords.

If you are not careful, victory may turn into defeat at any time.

Chu Tianming Jin retreated his troops, Zhou Yafu gathered the Xiliu Camp, Li Guang gathered the Shesheng Camp, and regrouped in formation.

High-level troops also have an intangible advantage, that is, they have strict military discipline and can respond as quickly as possible in emergencies.

Hua Mulan stood up with her sword drawn. There were thousands of Korean cavalry on the opposite side. They were blocked by her and for a while they did not dare to attack.

Three Goryeo lords came across from them, with a total of 6,000 soldiers and horses, including 1,900 cavalry!

Jeju Island in Korea is an important place for horse breeding. The Mongols who were good at horse administration all raised horses on Jeju Island.

Therefore, Goryeo definitely had a lot of cavalry.

Three Goryeo lords formed a coalition and rushed over immediately.

"There are only a few hundred cavalry on the opposite side. Let our cavalry kill them and we will win quickly."

"Two thousand versus five hundred, how can we win?"

"My general's strength is 65 points higher and can kill enemy generals. I will lend you your cavalry temporarily."

"Can."

The three lords quickly discussed and finally let a Goryeo general with a strength of 65 points serve as the cavalry general, and the other two cavalry generals served as deputy generals.

Nearly two thousand Goryeo cavalry attacked Hua Mulan at the rear. Not only was Hua Mulan not afraid, she led a smaller number of cavalrymen to counterattack!

"Crazy! Does she think she is leading the Tang Dynasty's Black Armor Cavalry?"

"Five hundred people attack two thousand people and seek death!"

The three Goryeo lords thought that as long as they set up a charging position, the opponent would collapse due to the wavering morale of the army, but they did not expect that the opponent would not retreat but instead advance.

Two cavalry clash!

What Hua Mulan used this time was not a ring-shou knife, but a spear.

The Goryeo general opposite was wearing iron armor and was tall. He was sure to not lose to a female figure.

The spear stabbed Hua Mulan, but Hua Mulan pushed it away with her strength. The sharp spear used the inertia of the charging horse to pierce the chest of the Goryeo general!

Hua Mulan gave up her spear, pulled out her sword, and killed the Korean cavalry in the rear!

After only one round of fighting, the cavalry commander that the Koryo lord was proud of was killed by Hua Mulan.

"I... I am a general with a strength of 65. I gave him the best weapons and armor. How could he be killed in a single encounter..."

Lord Goryeo couldn't believe it.

After all, he is a gold-level military commander, but he has such no sense of presence.

"It must be a historical military general from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is also a very rare historical military general. If we capture her, we may be able to bring her back to our country of Goryeo!"

"Killing him if he can't be captured alive will be a huge loss to the Donghan District!"

Then the Goryeo lord realized that Hua Mulan might be a historical military commander in the Eastern Han Dynasty and could not keep her.

"Beat the drum and capture the enemy general, and the reward will be three hundred taels! Kill the enemy general, and the reward will be one hundred taels!"

The three Goryeo lords gathered together and immediately gave the order.

The morale of the Goryeo cavalry was greatly stimulated by the reward, and they worked hard to encircle Hua Mulan.

Hua Mulan led the cavalry to attack left and right among the Goryeo cavalry. Blood spattered and they cut a bloody path. Hundreds of Goryeo cavalry were killed!

Li Guang led the Shesheng Battalion to come to support in time to stabilize the front!

From the commander-in-chief Li Guang down to the longbowmen of the Shesheng Battalion, they were all sharpshooters in a sense. They began to use longbows to recruit the most powerful Goryeo cavalry.

One after another, the Korean cavalry was shot, and the cavalry who lacked armor were injured or killed.

The Xiliu Battalion tried to step forward and engage in close combat with the Korean cavalry who had lost their mobility.

Once approached by Xiliu Camp, the Goryeo cavalry will lose its advantage.

The Korean infantry and crossbowmen saw that the situation was not good, and under the leadership of the lord, they made an attack.

Both sides had vague thoughts of fighting.

The scale of eight thousand people, not including auxiliary troops, is already a big battle for a small civilization.

Two thousand versus six thousand, it was difficult for Chu Tian to judge whether he could win. Even if he barely won, the remaining troops might not be enough for the next decisive battle.

This is the first day of the three-month national war, and both sides are losing their temper.

With the numbers at a disadvantage, Chu Tian wanted to make a truce for the time being. The other party had the initiative, but they didn't want to let Chu Tian go.

Hua Mulan's tribe fought out from the Korean cavalry, regrouped on the plains, and regrouped.

At this moment, a troop flying the Red Dragon Flag appeared behind Chutian's camp. At the front was a group of heavily armored infantry, numbering 300. This group of heavy infantry actually had 300 pack horses.

They carried heavy iron armor on their backs.

Without horses, it would be impossible for heavy infantry to march quickly.

The lord of the East County, Prince Wen, and his general Pang Juan arrived in time with their troops. The Lord of Korea noticed that the situation had changed, and paid gold to withdraw his troops, giving up the idea of ​​​​annihilating Chutian.

"How many people were lost in total?"

"176 cavalrymen were killed and 109 cavalrymen were wounded."

"That cavalry general in the Eastern Han Dynasty is really terrifying. So the cavalry will bring us huge damage. The opponent must be one of the top lords in the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"Although the opponent's number is small, if we want to destroy them, we will lose at least half of our troops."

"The legion commander is not here. We should first rescue the lord who is asking for help to avoid confrontation with the army in the Eastern Han District."

The Goryeo lord raised a flag and asked the Goryeo lord who was hiding on the hillside and was crippled by Chu Tian to lead his broken troops down to join them.

The Goryeo lord who almost died in the battle saw his companions and hurried down the mountain to join them.

If reinforcements had not arrived, he would have been captured by the vicious lord of the suzerain country.

The unlucky lord counted the troops around him and found that only 500 or 600 men were left. The rest were either killed in battle or dispersed and disappeared.

His cavalry was not completely wiped out by Hua Mulan, but many of them escaped and were scattered on the battlefield, and would gradually return to their ranks in the future.

In order to hold back the opponent's main force, Hua Mulan did not have the energy to chase down the opponent's deserters one by one.

"The opponent's army is so strong, we will retreat temporarily."

After the four Goryeo lords decided, they would lead the rear with light cavalry, and then mostly retreat south.

Chu Tian and Gong Ziwen met up but did not pursue them.

Judging from the four Goguryeo lords running out of the canyon in the south, the opposite side must be the camp of the Goguryeo army. Their two armies of 4,000 people rushed past, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?

"The terrain is very clear. To the north of the canyon is Anshi City, and to the south is the Goguryeo reinforcement camp. The Goguryeo army is divided into two parts. One part is holding Anshi City, and the city owner may be Yang Wanchun. The other part is the reinforcements from northern Pyongyang.

The commanders are Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen. As for the Tang army, they should camp outside Anshi City and control the important hills in the northern valley. As long as we march to the north, we can join the Tang army."

Chu Tian spread out the map and discussed the march route with Gong Ziwen.

The first national war was fought in the canyons of the Qianshan Mountains. For most lords, this was a difficult battle.

They must compete with each other in a battle of wits and courage in the canyon.

Chu Tian noticed the famous general Pang Juan next to Gong Ziwen.

At this time, Pang Juan was in high spirits, not as lonely as the Battle of Guiling and the Battle of Maling.

It is said that Pang Juan and Sun Bin were both disciples of Guiguzi. He once led Wei soldiers to attack Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and defeated the Korean army five times. If he had not encountered his natural enemy Sun Bin and the powerful Qi army at that time, Pang Juan might have become a famous general in the Warring States Period.

Also, the character of someone who framed his fellow disciples is probably not that good either.

Gongziwen did not have enough resources and buildings to recruit Wei soldiers, and only had a group of fourth-level Yanzhou heavy infantry at his disposal. He appointed Pang Juan as the commander of the heavy armor soldiers as a lower-ranking substitute for Wei soldiers.

The two men joined forces and cleared the battlefield. The spoils mainly belonged to Chu Tian, ​​because this Goryeo army was defeated by Chu Tian's army.
