Wu Chengsi looked at it for a while and shook his head. Although Wu Youji was not as strong as his opponent, he was more flexible and versatile. There were Tang soldiers nearby to help him from time to time, so there was no danger.
Besides, the soldiers below are all fighting to the death. As the commander-in-chief, what he has to do is to treat them equally, not differently.
As time passed, the battle below became more and more fierce. The red-armored general was extremely powerful. With a small number of enemies, he still suppressed Wu Youji.
While fighting, the red-armored general leaned outside and gradually came to the edge of the encirclement.
At this moment, a Tang Army soldier threw out a noose, trying to trap the red-armored general.
The red-armored general reached out and let his hand be caught, then pulled hard and pulled the Tang Army soldier off his horse.
Two other soldiers of the Tang Army saw this and stepped forward to grab the long rope. The three of them worked together to pull the red-armored general off his horse.
The red-armored general fought against the three Tang soldiers with one hand, and waved his saber with the other hand, fending off the attacks of Wu Youji and the Tang soldiers one by one.
During the melee, he still looked around and paid attention to the battlefield situation at all times. Most of his soldiers were dead or injured, and more and more Tang troops were approaching him. He thought to himself: "If I don't escape quickly, I'm afraid I will die here."
In anxiety, he roared, swung his sword across, forcing Wu Youji and others back, and then slashed at the rope wrapped around his left arm.
The three Tang soldiers were experienced and when they saw him trying to cut the rope, they immediately ran sideways and pulled the red-armored general's arm towards his back.
The red-armored general was in pain and anxious, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he swung his knife to chop off his left arm.
Pfft——
A broken arm was violently chopped away, and the three Tang soldiers were knocked out of the air and fell to the ground one after another.
The red-armored general almost fell off his horse. Fortunately, his riding skills were excellent and he finally managed to stabilize his body. At this moment, Wu Youji stabbed him with a spear.
The red-armored general did not block him, but swung his sword across Wu Youji's throat with his backhand. Wu Youji hurriedly leaned down, and the general took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and ran towards a small road.
As soon as he left the crowd, arrows continued to shoot at his back. Although most of them were blocked by the armor, two arrows passed through the gaps in the armor and hit him.
Wu You fired a long spear and rushed after the red-armored general.
At this moment, a burly man over seven feet tall was seen running towards the path.
The big man wore black armor and carried a giant hammer on his shoulder. After the red-armored general left, he blocked the path.
Wu Youji stepped forward on his horse and stabbed the big man in black armor with one shot.
The big man still carried the giant hammer in one hand, and only used the other hand to grab the tip of the spear and swing it hard. Wu Youji felt a terrifying force coming from him, and his whole body flew out with the spear.
The big man raised his giant hammer and struck Wu Youji in the air.
At this moment, a horse spear swept over and blocked the giant hammer. The black-armored general turned around and saw that the person blocking his attack was a black-faced man.
"Black Teeth Changzhi!" The black-armored general roared, raised the giant hammer, held the handle of the hammer with both hands and swept over.
Hei Te Changzhi held the horse with one hand to resist the giant hammer attack, and grabbed the black-armored general with the other hand.
General Heijia knew that Heijia Changzhi had used this move to catch many Goryeo generals and clamp them under their ribs. Many of them were even pinched to death by him, so he immediately reined in his horse and retreated.
"Let's fight another day." After leaving these words, Heijia turned his horse's head and ran towards the path.
Hei Te Changzhi was about to give chase when he suddenly heard a soldier behind him shouting: "The general has an order, no pursuit!"
Black Teeth Changzhi was saved by Wu Chengsi and was transferred to the Zuowu Army by him, so he never dared to disobey his orders.
Without asking much about the reason, he got off his horse and walked over to help Wu Youji up.
When Wu Chengsi came down from the hillside, the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield. An important point in the outcome of the war is who can clean the battlefield.
The winning side seizes the enemy's equipment, kills the enemy's wounded soldiers, and treats its own wounded soldiers. The number of wounded soldiers is extremely terrifying, so the results of the battle are very different before and after cleaning the battlefield.
Wu Chengsi did not return to the commander's tent, but went to Wu Youji's tent first. He saw Wu Youji lying on the wooden bed, and Hei Te Changzhi was applying medicine to him.
"Are you okay?" Wu Chengsi asked with concern.
Wu Youji said excitedly: "A little skin injury doesn't matter. Second brother, this battle was so enjoyable!"
Wu Chengsi said angrily: "Are you happy? If Black Teeth Man hadn't rescued you in time, you would have been beaten to a pulp."
Wu Youji's face was slightly red and he muttered: "I didn't expect that guy to be so strong, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do it in one move..."
Hei Te Changzhi said hurriedly: "That man's name is Ju Lou. He is extremely powerful. He is a famous fierce general in Goryeo. When fighting him, you must not compete with strength." What he said was not convincing at all, because he fought with one hand.
Withstand the attack of other people's hands.
Wu Youji hummed, "Why didn't you say this earlier?"
Wu Chengsi said seriously: "Although we have won this battle, the Koreans know our situation very well, but we know nothing except the enemy's strength. This is our disadvantage, so we must not be careless.
"
Originally, Su Dingfang had been running Yingzhou, and the information about the guards in each city in Goryeo was very clear. However, since Goryeo experienced civil strife, the guards in each city were replaced, and Su Dingfang was suspended from his post.
Although Li Ji had been sending people to inquire about Goryeo information after he settled in Yingzhou, the time was too short after all, and the focus of his inquiry was Xincheng and Liaodong City, and only the strength of the troops in South Sioux City could be found.
Hei Te Changzhi knew Ju Lou only because he had fought against him in Baekje before.
"General, why didn't you let me pursue you just now?" Black Teeth Changzhi asked.
"Don't you think the direction in which the Goryeo general broke through was strange? The northeast was cavalry, so it was more difficult to break through. The southeast and southwest were both infantry, so why didn't he break out from the south?"
"Maybe he was knocked unconscious by us and panicked." Wu You said.
Wu Chengsi shook his head: "I watched carefully from above. He broke out in the northeast direction from the beginning. It was obviously intentional. I suspect that he had some arrangements on that road."
Hei Te Changzhi touched his chin and said: "The general is right, otherwise the huge building would not suddenly run out of the alley."
At this time, Liu Shenli entered the commander's tent, cupped his hands and said: "General, the results of the battle have been counted."
"explain!"
"The enemy attacked more than 4,000 cavalry this time, and our army killed 2,862 of them. Our army killed 258 of them, and captured 356 pieces of armor and horses.
Two thousand four hundred and twenty horses, seized..."
Wu Chengsi listened silently to Liu Shenli's report. After he finished speaking, he ordered: "Keep one thousand war horses and three hundred pieces of armor, and send all the others back to Liucheng Camp."
Liu Shenli nodded in agreement and asked: "General, what should we do next? Should we take advantage of the momentum and march on an emergency march to attack Nansu City tomorrow?"
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "No, starting from tomorrow, the army will be stationed in place."
Liu Shenli was surprised and said: "Aren't we going to attack Nansu City?"
Wu Chengsi said slowly: "We don't have to go, wait until they come out on their own."
"Do you want to lure them out again? I'm afraid they won't be fooled again!" Black Teeth Changzhi scratched his head and said.
Wu Chengsi narrowed his eyes and said: "I just want them to fall into the same pit twice. General Han Lang, go and call ten soldiers in."
After Han Cheng called the people in, Wu Chengsi glanced at the soldiers one by one and said in a deep voice: "I have a very important task that needs to be done alone. This task is very risky. Which of you can do it?"
Dare to do it!"
"I'll go!" Wang Wenjie, Wang Baoshan, Wei Heng and Niu Yong said in unison.
Wu Chengsi glanced back and forth at the four people, and his eyes finally rested on Wei Heng, who seemed to be the smartest, and said: "Very good, I will leave this task to you. I want you to be caught by the Koreans on purpose as a sentinel.
Come, do you dare?"
"What do you dare to do? As long as the general just says a word, I am willing to die!" Wei Heng said loudly.
Wu Chengsi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, as long as you complete this errand, I will promote you to the rank of captain!"
