The situation of the Goguryeo army was not good, and Xiahou Dun was at a disadvantage when facing Yang Woyan. Only Cao Zhang was extremely brave, wielding his halberd, and fought hard to defeat Wanyan Heda.

After Cao Zhang retreated from Yan Heda, he looked around and saw that the Goguryeo army had been defeated by the Jurchen army. He hurriedly rode forward to assist Xiahou Dun and forced Yang Woyan to retreat with several fierce attacks.

"Uncle Yuan Rang, the situation is not good, we should retreat quickly!"

Cao Zhang grabbed Xiahou Dun, who was about to chase after him, and said urgently.

Xiahou Dun wanted to avenge his brother Xiahou Yuan, but he came to his senses only after Cao Zhang's roar. He looked around at the situation, then turned his horse's head and retreated unwillingly.

The two quickly retreated, took the boat and headed towards the south bank. Seeing that their leader had fled, the other Goguryeo soldiers scrambled onto the ships and fled.

Wanyan Heda and Yang Woyan quickly regrouped and led their troops to pursue and fight fiercely. They killed the Goguryeo army and stained the banks of the Sashui River with blood, and gained a lot.

"Go back quickly and report to the Wolf Lord that our army has captured the upper reaches of the Sa River!"

After Wanyan Aguda received Yang Woyan's victory report, he immediately waved his hand: "All the troops, cross the river and capture Cao Cao alive!"

Wanyan Aguda gave an order, and tens of thousands of Jurchen elites on the north bank of the Sa River quickly came out of the camp. After the formation was completed, they bravely rode their horses across the river, which was shallow due to the damming upstream, and headed towards the Goguryeo army on the south bank. go.

"Line up to meet the enemy!"

Almost at the same time as he received the news of the Jurchen army crossing the river, Cao Cao also received the report of the defeat of Xiahou Dun and Cao Zhang, but there was no trace of panic on his face as he ordered in a deep voice.

There was a whimpering horn in the Goguryeo military camp, the camp door opened wide, and the Goguryeo troops staggered out under the command of Cao Cao and his generals, forming a strict square formation.

On the north bank of Sa River, the Jurchen cavalry had also completed crossing the river. These tall Jurchen cavalry whistled from time to time, wantonly mocking the vulnerable Goguryeo army facing them.

The two armies formed their formations a stone's throw away from each other, corresponding to each other from a distance. With the rapid sound of war drums, the gate of the Jurchen army opened wide, and the brave general Ximao Ali rode out, shouting loudly: "Goguryeo rats, who dares to come forward and die!"

"Ding dong, it has been detected that Xie Mao Ali has entered the brave state, the force is +4, the base force is 96, and the current force has increased to 100."

Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu and was about to order Xu Chu to fight. Unexpectedly, two generals from the left army had already flown out, shouting loudly to take Ximao Ali directly.

Cao Cao took a closer look and suddenly became murderous. One of the two generals in the battle was named Gao Cao, and the other was named Gao Zuo. Both of them were descendants of the remote royal family of Goguryeo. At this moment, they did not obey the general's orders and went out without authorization. They clearly disobeyed Cao Cao and wanted to steal the credit.

He wielded his sword to a high degree, Gao Zuo raised his gun, and shouted in unison to take Ali at Ximao. Xianmao Ali sneered, and his spear came first and then pierced Gao Zuo's chest.

Gao Gao was shocked and swung his long knife towards Xie Mao Ali. Xie Mao Ali ducked past him, lifted up Gao Zuo's body with his backhand and hit Gao Zuo, who immediately knocked Gao Zuo off his horse.

He fell down and dismounted, and the big knife in his hand flew out. His face turned pale, and he turned around and ran away.

Xianmao raised the corner of his mouth, hung up the iron spear, took the crossbow, strung the arrow, and when he looked at the right height, he shot an arrow. The sharp arrow shot through the air and passed through him in an instant. He fell to the ground with a plop, his body twitched a few times and then he lost his breath.

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

The Jurchen army was shouting wildly, but Cao Cao in the Goguryeo army was livid, secretly cursing the two idiots for not overestimating their own capabilities, which not only cost their lives but also damaged the morale of the entire army.

"Xie Mao Ali, I order you to lead five thousand cavalry to attack Goguryeo's left wing!"

Wanyan Aguda struck while the iron was hot, and Xie Mao Ali returned victorious. He immediately ordered Xie Mao Ali to lead the attack.

Xiemao Ali was ordered to go out, and the five thousand Jurchen cavalry went out with wild shouts. The horses kept accelerating and rushed towards the left flank of Goguryeo.

"Luoshan, resist the enemy!"

The general in charge of Goguryeo's left army was Cao Ren, Cao Cao's younger brother. This man was always famous for his persistence and was known as the Iron Wall.

Upon hearing his order, Goguryeo's left-wing military formation changed drastically. Three thousand long spearmen stepped forward, and the long spears were slightly raised toward the sky, forming a dense forest of spears.

"Crash into it!"

Ximao Ali didn't even blink, and countless Jurchen cavalry roared towards Goguryeo's long formation. The Goguryeo soldiers roared and thrust forward with all their strength. The Jurchen cavalrymen and horses were stabbed down, dripping with blood.

"Throw!"

Seeing the cavalry in the front row being stabbed down in pieces, Ali roared again. The Jurchen cavalry in the back row took out the small axes, bolas, and small maces they carried with them, and threw them towards the Goguryeo army. go.

Countless small weapons flew down, like a swarm of meteors, and immediately knocked down a large number of Goguryeo soldiers. The soldiers' heads were broken and bleeding, their brains were burst, and they screamed incessantly.

"The crossbowmen come forward, we can't let the Jurchens use us as live targets unscrupulously!"

Cao Ren's flag suddenly moved forward, and he stood on the front line with a broadsword in his hand. Several timid Goguryeo soldiers just ran back a dozen steps before they were beheaded by Cao Ren.

"Whoever dares to retreat, take this as an example!"

Under the iron-blooded intimidation of Cao Ren, the Goguryeo soldiers suppressed their fear and fought hard to stop him. The archers in the back row also unfurled their bows and set arrows, passing by the weapons flying towards them, and from time to time they shot down the Jurchen cavalry from their horses.

"Nianhan, lead the army to attack Goguryeo's right wing!"

Seeing that Ali could not break through Cao Ren's blockade, Wanyan Aguda immediately turned his attack target to the right wing.

Wanyan Zonghan laughed loudly and clapped his horse into battle. More than ten thousand cavalry behind him formed a formation of sharp arrows. They stepped on the ground and kicked up endless smoke and dust.

On Goguryeo's right wing, the general commanding the army was Gao Qiong. The Jurchen cavalry roared towards them, and he immediately followed Cao Ren's example and ordered his soldiers to step forward to form an interception.

Whoosh whoosh! ! !

The Goguryeo soldiers had just finished forming their formation, but unexpectedly what was coming their way was not a flood of Jurchen cavalry, but sharp arrows rushing like a torrential rain.

When he destroyed the Liao Dynasty and attacked the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Zonghan, the architect of the Jingkang Incident, was one of the most famous Jurchen generals. The result of Ximao Ali's collision with the Changsha Formation was still vivid in his mind. How could he choose to run into it again?

Arrows flew across the sky and fell like raindrops. The Goguryeo soldiers in the front row were hit by arrows one after another and fell to the ground. After a burst of arrows, the formation had become loose.

But Wanyan Zonghan still did not choose to rush into the Changsha formation head-on. He stretched out his hand and made a move. When the Jurchen cavalry rushed to less than a few steps away from the Goguryeo military formation, they suddenly changed their direction and moved in an arc. The form went around.

"No, the Changchun soldiers turned to flank to meet the enemy!"

Gao Qiong's heart suddenly skipped a beat when he saw this, and he shouted loudly.
