Chapter 790 Of course it’s better to take action
In terms of military strength, Yang Shanhui was at an absolute disadvantage. Liyong had 30,000 cavalry, while he had only 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry. However, Yang Shan had sufficient preparations before the battle. First, a flood peak dispersed 10,000 light cavalry of Goguryeo, and then trapped the enemy soldiers with artificial swamps, which prompted Goguryeo to lose the advantage of cavalry, and at the same time, the heavy cavalry with strong combat power could not move, and life and death were uncertain. As the two overlapped, the gap in military strength became extremely small.
More importantly, Goguryeo responded hastily and was in a dilemma of fighting each other. Although they fought tenaciously, after losing the opportunity, they could not change the trend of decline no matter how hard they fought.
Yang Shanhui did not join the battle, but instead brought two hundred elite cavalry to watch the battle. He was the chief general of this army. If he joined the battlefield, the Sui army would lose its soul, lose its command center, and be unable to cooperate in combat. Once the situation of the war changes, the Sui army, which could only fight on their own, was likely to turn the Goguryeo army into victory.
"General, we will definitely win." This was Li Xiaogong, who was following Yang Shanhui, who was on the battlefield for the first time. The cruelty and solemn atmosphere on the battlefield made him breathless. Seeing that the overall situation was settled, he breathed a sigh of relief and used a laugh to relieve the discomfort in his heart.
In his opinion, the Goguryeo Army had been completely disbanded by the Sui Army, and there was only one way to defeat him. There was no other way except that.
"Yes, this battle is too dangerous and not easy!" The person who spoke was that Li Xiaogong was surrounded by an extraordinary young man. His name was Dugu Xianyi, and he was Dugu Shun's eldest grandson. He was wearing a gorgeous and dazzling silver bright light armor, covered with a white cloak, and under his crotch was a snow-white divine war horse, holding a silver-colored horse spear in his hand.
Dugu Xianyi's sexy outfit looks particularly special and conspicuous among the crowds full of Xuanjia, making him look more like a coach than Yang Shanhui.
Everyone, including Yang Shanhui, did not comment on what Li and Dugu said, and even a soldier was too lazy to pay attention to these two new recruits.
"It is too early to say that the winner is determined at this time!" Yang Shanhui paused for a moment and said lightly: "There are many cases of turning defeat into victory and turning victory into defeat. Before the last moment, any change may happen. The more you reach this time, the more you should not be careless and underestimate the enemy, the more you should act cautiously."
Li Xiaogong and Dugu Xianyi looked at each other, and a look of ashamed flashed in their eyes.
"General Dugu, your armor is very high-end, grand, gorgeous and beautiful. But if you encounter a confrontation between the two armies, you are the one who attracts arrows." Yang Shanhui glanced at Dugu Xianyi and reminded: "If you do not have the courage to be inappropriate, if you do not have the martial arts skills of taking the general's head level from a million troops, it is best to change into the armor that normal people should wear, otherwise, the first person who dies will definitely be you; you will not live a moment that will attract the head coach's attention."
After hearing his words, Dugu Xianyi's face turned red and his face was hot. In fact, he did plan to gallop across the battlefield with such a unique shopping outfit, and then attract the attention of Yang Ji and all the soldiers. But now when he heard Yang Shanhui say this, he realized that he was completely an arrow-sucking existence.
"If you don't listen to good words and insist on doing your own thing, it's best to stay away from us in the future and don't implicate us. It's okay not to leave, but at the critical moment, you can escape first, we are responsible for covering you." Yang Shanhui finished speaking, and his eyes looked at the battlefield again.
Li Xiaogong was slightly surprised at first, but when he heard it at the end, he suddenly understood what Yang Shanhui meant and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Dugu Xianyi smiled even more red. How could he let him escape first? It was clearly meant to let him attract all the enemy troops.
"Report to General, four or five thousand enemy troops escaped from the southwest direction." At this time, a scout who was cruising on the periphery came to report: "From their posture, they were planning to revive their momentum and launch an assault on our infantry, and that direction was behind General Yuchi, with very weak defenses. There was no other army except for more than 300 crossbowmen."
Li Xiaogong and Dugu Xianyi were shocked when they heard this. They were still complacent and talking big, but unexpectedly, after just dozens of breaths, the accident suddenly happened. If Yang Shan would lead them into the battlefield before, or if they were inappropriate, the Sui army would be in a place of doom.
The two knew that the Sui army had no soldiers except theirs. They were so anxious that they didn't know what to do, they both looked at Yang Shanhui with nervous eyes.
Yang Shanhui was not interested. He calmly ordered the banner soldiers: "I ordered Shi He Luo's left wing to leave the battlefield and attack the enemy troops in the southwest. They must not be allowed to gather into an army, let alone attack General Yuchi."
Li Xiaogong's eyes lit up, and his heart was even more amazed. Until now, he understood why Yang Shanhui asked Chu and Luo to divide the cavalry into two. It seemed that he had predicted this step long ago. At this moment, the left-wing cavalry ordered to block the enemy were used at the right time.
As the banner danced, the flag soldiers following Chu He Luo immediately understood the commander's intention, and immediately told Chu He Luo who did not recognize the banner of the Sui army.
Chu Heluo led 2,500 cavalrymen to kill the enemy with arrows in the southeast corner of the battlefield. When he heard the words of the flag soldiers, he quickly asked his personal soldiers to send a message to the soldiers of the headquarters. When more than ten generals arrived, he shouted loudly: "Warriors, this battle is related to the fortunes of our Sui Dynasty, and the original honor and disgrace of our tribe. The Goguryeo bandit army has been killed by the Liangzhou army brothers. If we continue to act as spectators, if we cannot defeat the riots, wouldn't our army be too incompetent?"
He slowly raised the iron spear in his hand and whispered: "Warriors, now pick up the weapons in your hands, and follow me to kill all these despicable and shameless Goguryeo dog thieves, use the blood and life of the enemy to establish the reputation of our tribe, and let the brothers in Liangzhou see the bravery of our tribe and the loyalty of our tribe to the Great Sui Dynasty."
"Ho huh huh huh ~" Behind him, a group of Xi soldiers raised their weapons and began to roar loudly, and the momentum that had already erupted because of the victory of the battle suddenly surged a lot.
"Kill and kill!" Chu He Luo waved the spear in his hand fiercely, and led his personal guards to launch a charge first. The generals and warriors followed closely, followed by more than two thousand soldiers, and launched a fierce charge towards the southwest.
Although Chuheluo was a "people who transformed the outside world", he was able to become the leader of the Xi tribe in the prey of the weak, so he was naturally a person with real skills. He knew that after the great chief Xi Zhong was executed by them and the Sui army, the Xi tribe was quickly incorporated and reorganized by the Sui Dynasty. Everything in the future must follow the laws and systems of the Sui Dynasty, and these chiefs will also lose their existing power; and the Xi tribe inherited from the Donghu will also become history.
If the Chuhe tribe wants to integrate into the Great Sui Dynasty and live a better life in the future, he must show enough sincerity and enough military achievements; only in this way, he may be able to continue to lead the warriors in the headquarters to fight for the Great Sui Dynasty. Therefore, they must fight and kill hard in this battle of Goguryeo, and cannot have the slightest fantasy of preserving their strength.
Otherwise, not only will he follow Xi Zhong's life, but the lives and safety of the people in the department will not be guaranteed.
.....
Li Yong had already stabilized his position and was about to lead more than 4,000 people to attack the weak parts of the Sui army. When he heard that a cavalry was charging forward, his face was gloomy and terrifying. Anger flashed in his black pupils, and he shouted: "Licheng, take the spearman to me."
"As for your order!" Licheng responded and led more than a thousand spearmen who had gathered urgently to meet the cavalry.
When they left the line, Li Yong yelled: "The crossbowman comes out!"
"The bow and arrow are rolled up, ready to shoot arrows."
A series of military orders were conveyed in an orderly manner. The two armies were only two miles away, and they were not long for the galloping cavalry, but this period was enough to make the Goguryeo army do a lot of things. However, Chuhe Luo was not a reckless man. When he saw Goguryeo posing a military formation to defeat cavalry with his own infantry, he knew that this was the nemesis of his own light cavalry. He immediately took his personal soldiers to attack the horses and headed southeast. After drawing an arc, he took his troops straight to the rear of the Goguryeo army.
Under the guidance of the flag, the warriors behind him also followed suit and followed him to kill him.
"Boom~" The Xi warriors in the front rode their horses wildly and collided with the rear of the Goguryeo army. The woe of the war horses mixed with the screams of the soldiers on both sides. The Goguryeo army formation was overturned, and the soldiers on both sides flew into the air. The Xi soldiers in the back row directly stepped on the bodies of both sides to continue to attack the depths of the military formation.
They have no skills, they only have to fight for their lives.
Human life suddenly became fragile in this war. After paying the price of hundreds of lives, the army that Goguryeo had finally formed was broken through a gap. Chu He Luo frantically waved his spear and swung away the weapons stabbed around him, but more weapons were stabbed at him. It was difficult for several attacks to truly break Goguryeo's tenacious military formation.
At this time, they also lost the cavalry's charge advantage like the Goguryeo army. The two sides launched a bloody close battle on this land. Both sides fought so hard that their flesh and blood were flying, their heads rolled, screams and wails resounded throughout the world.
Both sides of the enemy and us were red in their eyes, and they waved their swords desperately and stabbed the spears. During the battle, the warriors of the Xi clan were stabbed to death with their men and horses, but they were not afraid of death, and they still rushed forward like a tide breaking the dam and rushed towards the Goguryeo army from a high point.
"Kill kill..." A shocking shout of killing suddenly sounded in the southwest of the Goguryeo Army. He Luo, who had already withdrawn from the battle, narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. He saw dense figures appearing at one end of the horizon under the guidance of a big flag.
The distance was too far, and Chu He Luo could not see the text on it clearly, but the red flag was finally recognized as the flag of our own. Moreover, the people came were all cavalry. They ran away with lightning, and their fast horses were like dragons, and they rushed towards the rear of Goguryeo like a tide. Wherever they passed, they killed the enemy, and blood was splattered, limbs flew everywhere, and wailed.
"Haha, hahaha!" Chu and Luo were too lazy to consider which army this was, but when they knew they were coming, he laughed wildly and shouted: "Warriors, our reinforcements are here, let me kill them."
After all, the warriors of the Xi clan were alien soldiers. Their style was very similar to that of the Turks. They were the best at fighting with the wind. However, when they made a concerted effort, they failed to break through the Goguryeo military formation, and they lost their spirits little by little. When they saw reinforcements coming, their courage recovered, and under the leadership of the chief general, they rushed to press on the Goguryeo army.
The Goguryeo soldiers were so scared that they were killed by this uniquely dressed army. Seeing that they were in trouble, they finally collapsed. The soldiers outside began to leave the battlefield and fled to the jungle behind.
Li Yong looked around and sadly found that his army had suffered a devastating blow in less than an hour. Now there are less than three hundred soldiers gathered around him, and there are not even one hundred people. This is it!
"General, what should I do?" Licheng and others retreated one after another, and all looked at the main general with anxious eyes.
what to do?
"Of course it's the best way to go!" Li Yong jumped out these words from his teeth. If he died in a head-on confrontation, he had nothing to say, but the damn Sui army had been scheming from the beginning and used conspiracy to figure people from the beginning. This made him very unhappy and unwilling to die.
As he said that, he also fled into the jungle with the few remaining soldiers.
During the night's battle, Yang Ji dispatched a total of 20,000 main forces and 5,000 Xi soldiers. Their advantage of night battles and ambushing defeated 15,000 elite soldiers from the North Camp of Goguryeo and 30,000 elite cavalry who rushed to rescue, killed more than 40,000 enemies, seized countless war horses and armor, and less than 3,000 soldiers who successfully escaped.
But the battle here has ended, and the battle led by Yang Ji has not yet begun.
