Chapter 1533 Kneel in front of me and beg for mercy
Zhao Chen asked Qin Huaiyu to lead the cavalry battalion to attack him, which meant that Zhao Chen no longer had such a big killer weapon as the sky-blasting cannon.
Otherwise, there is no need to trade the lives of the soldiers for those under your own command.
So even though it seems now that the two armies are killing each other with blood and flesh flying everywhere, at least he still has a chance to resist.
As long as he can still resist, he will have a chance to deal with Zhao Chen.
"General, it seems that our cavalry is no match for them!" A Goguryeo general said to Huizhen, looking worriedly at the cavalry from both sides fighting in front.
Huizhen said nothing.
The look on his face was also extremely calm.
He knew that these people under his command were no match for Zhao Chen's army across from him.
Moreover, the Tang cavalry was inherently stronger than the Goguryeo cavalry.
As long as the military formation can be kept calm under the spring breeze of the Tang Dynasty cavalry today, it will be considered a small victory.
Huizhen put all her expectations on the idea of gathering forces with Hou Jun to attack the Tang army later.
Regarding today's battle with Zhao Chen's men, Huizhen actually didn't have much expectations in her heart.
"General, please let the archers prepare. If the entire Tang army launches an attack, we can still resist with the archers." A general advised Huizhen.
"That makes sense, let them prepare!" Huizhen nodded, and then ordered his generals to command the archers.
Thousands of archers gathered behind the spear barracks, staring eagerly at the Tang army's formation ahead.
Zhao Chen did not ask the entire army to attack.
Instead, he looked calmly at the cavalry led by Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo in front.
Perhaps in order to vent the anger in his heart, Qin Huaiyu used extremely harsh methods today.
When the Goguryeo cavalry on the opposite side faced Qin Huaiyu, they basically couldn't even withstand the second move.
They were all chopped off their horses by Qin Huaiyu.
Zhao Chen sat firmly on the high platform, and as far as his eyes could see, what he saw in front of him was a dark mass of cavalry figures.
At the forefront is the left cavalry battalion led by Qin Huaiyu.
After several years of recuperation in the Tang Dynasty, the strength of the cavalry has made a qualitative leap.
A few years ago, they even defeated the Turks, who were good at cavalry. To put it bluntly, Goguryeo was obviously no match for the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.
The cavalry can only exert its greatest advantage when charging as a group and fight with the enemy. This is undoubtedly using one's own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points.
Qin Huaiyu obviously also discovered this situation.
Even though they seem to have the upper hand now, if Huizhen's cavalry army is completely surrounded and they don't have the distance for a cavalry charge, they will be completely eaten.
"Send the order, retreat quickly!" Qin Huaiyu and the order soldiers around him shouted.
The messenger quickly put a whistle into his mouth.
Then there was a rapid whistle.
The Tang cavalry, who were still fighting with the enemy, quickly turned around and ran towards the other direction.
Cheng Chumo heard the voice here and responded immediately.
Two cavalry teams charged toward each other's battlefield, one on the left and the other on the right.
The Goguryeo cavalry obviously did not expect this situation and was about to catch up with the Tang cavalry who had just fought with them.
However, he suddenly discovered that there was another cavalryman charging towards him on the opposite side.
The Goguryeo cavalry were horrified.
He quickly turned his horse's head and prepared to escape in the direction from which the cavalry was charging.
But the speed is not as fast as the charging cavalry.
In just a few breaths, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty charged forward, followed by sharp blades in their hands.
There was a wail of pain, and many Goguryeo cavalrymen did not even have time to react before being killed by Tang cavalrymen.
Huizhen did not expect that the two cavalry teams of the Tang Dynasty would charge at each other.
He completely confused the cavalry team under his command.
"The spearmen battalion quickly went forward to assemble for rescue." Huizhen only had time to shout.
He could not watch his kneeling cavalry being completely crushed by the Tang cavalry.
The best unit to deal with cavalry is the pike.
But everything is so fast.
Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo charged at each other, killing Huizhen's cavalry in pieces.
Before his battalion of spearmen could go to rescue the cavalry, Cheng Chumo, the English invader of China, drove his horses back to the Tang army's formation.
"Huizhen, it seems your command is nothing more than this!"
"Look at these dead cavalry, how pitiful they are!"
"Why don't you come and kneel in front of me now and beg for mercy? I can kill you alone!" Qin Huaiyu immediately stood in front of the formation and shouted with Huizhen.
Huizhen now gritted her teeth and swallowed it.
He really wanted to twist off Qin Huaiyu's head, but he was the one who was defeated just now.
It's just that some of the cavalry were killed, and it's not like they were injured.
As long as he and Hou Junji can still send troops to encircle and suppress Zhao Chen, all this will be no problem!
Huizhen hinted to herself in this way.
Zhao Chen looked here from a distance, and then said to Li Ke: "Ming Jin!"
"Ah?" Li Ke seemed to have no reaction at all.
It was clear that the Tang cavalry had won a big victory, but Goguryeo hadn't made any move yet, so why did they themselves withdraw their troops first?
Li Ke even doubted whether Zhao Chen was wrong.
"Brother Emperor, are you talking about attacking with drums?" Li Ke asked Zhao Chen in a low voice.
"Ming Jin, didn't you hear clearly, withdraw the troops?" Zhao Chen said to Li Ke again.
"Ming Jin, withdraw your troops!" Li Ke quickly said to the messenger next to him.
Soon the clanging sound of gold spread throughout the entire army.
"Why do you want us to withdraw our troops?" Cheng Chumo didn't seem to react when he heard the sound of gold.
Qin Huaiyu frowned, but still waved his hand: "Your Highness has ordered you to retreat!"
The cavalry of the Tang Army withdrew from their formation. Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo both came to Zhao Chen?
"Zhao Da, why did you withdraw your troops? We only need to charge in one charge. We will definitely take down that guy Huizhen's head."
"Isn't it inappropriate to give up like this?" Cheng Chumo and Zhao Chen said.
He glanced at Qin Huaiyu again, worried that Qin Huaiyu would feel uncomfortable because of this incident.
Qin Huaiyu didn't say anything. He believed that Zhao Chen had his own considerations in doing this.
But he also hoped that Zhao Chen could give him an explanation.
After all, Huizhen's head is already under his own sword. As long as he exerts a little force, he can avenge his father.
But Qin Huaiyu always found it difficult to accept giving up such a good opportunity.
"Our war is to wipe the entire Goguryeo off the map. Huizhen has no ability. We can only kill him whenever we want."
"The important thing is that we need to get Yeongaesomun here. Taking Yeongaesomun is our ultimate goal?"
"The troops on the front line continued to be defeated, and Huizhen kept losing troops and generals, so Yeon Gaesumun had to come here." Zhao Chen explained to the two of them.
After hearing what Zhao Chen said, the two of them nodded slowly.
Although revenge is an important matter, it can only take a day or two.
Their final mission is to completely wipe out Goguryeo.
In order to eradicate Goguryeo Yeon Gaesumun, we must capture or kill him.
But if he stayed in the capital of Goguryeo and couldn't come over, they wouldn't be able to lead troops to attack all the cities in Goguryeo one by one.
