After Cao Cao reached an agreement with Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zonghan, they immediately returned to the military camp to reorganize their troops. Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zonghan also mobilized young men in the city, and the atmosphere of war filled the air.
At the same time, Cao Cao ordered his younger brother Cao Ren to lead 15,000 soldiers and horses to set up defenses along the Sa River under the pretext of protecting the grain road. In fact, he was on guard against the Sui army that might come from Pyongyang.
Cao Ren has always been famous for his defense. When he fought with the Jurchens more than a year ago, he repeatedly used weak troops to resist the crazy attacks of the Jurchen elite cavalry. Cao Cao believed that with Cao Ren's ability, even if the Sui army secretly sent troops from Pyongyang, he could buy himself a few days of critical time.
The frequent transfers between Goguryeo and Jurchen could not be hidden from Han Xin's vision. This eternal warrior immortal keenly judged that Goguryeo and Jurchen wanted to fight him desperately.
As the top military director of Youzhou, Han Xin naturally knew about Yang Gao's plan to use Lai Hu'er and Qi Jiguang's troops who had conquered Japan to attack Pyongyang from the sea. He immediately concluded that the Sui army must have conquered Pyongyang, and Cao Cao had no choice but to do so when the fire broke out in the rear. Choose a decisive battle.
"Send the order, all troops retreat!"
Han Xin sneered and ordered slowly. If Cao Cao wants a decisive battle with him, should he give him this opportunity? He must have thought too beautifully!
The Sui army's retreat gave Cao Cao the feeling of a fist hitting cotton, but he had to fire the arrow on the string. He had no other choice: "Pursue, the whole army pursues, even if it is to catch up to Linyu Pass, it will be impossible." You have to chase me."
At Cao Cao's order, more than 60,000 Goguryeo troops and more than 30,000 Jurchen troops and nearly 100,000 coalition troops left the camp like a wave and rushed towards the northwest.
"Speed up, don't stop!"
Because he was eager to fight the Sui army decisively, and there was a fire in the rear, and his family's life and death were unknown, even Cao Cao lost his cool. He kept scolding his soldiers to speed up along the way. Before he knew it, he had already become slack, and tens of thousands of horses stretched five miles.
"Kill--"
At this moment, there was an earth-shattering cry of killing, and arrows came like locusts from the dense forest on both sides. Cao Cao's general Xiahou Dun, who was walking in the front, was caught off guard and was shot into pieces by random arrows.
"Dingdong, it was detected that Xiahou Dun was killed by random arrows from the host's subordinates. The host received 10 soul points. The current total number of soul points has increased to 992."
Whoosh whoosh!
Arrows rained down like rain, and the Goguryeo troops who were caught off guard were turned upside down by the shots. The formation was in chaos for a while, and countless people fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.
At the same time, Han Xin commanded tens of thousands of elite troops under his command to be divided into several groups, charging out from all directions, rushing into the Goguryeo army like a frenzy, slashing with swords and galloping horses, killing the Goguryeo soldiers with their heads rolling and blood flowing like rivers.
"No, we were ambushed!"
Cao Cao was obviously taken aback by the sudden attack. He paused, forced himself to calm down, and immediately ordered the front of the army to become the rear, and the rear to become the front. The Sui army did not have an advantage in terms of strength, but its own team was stretched too long and was caught off guard by the Sui army. As long as we could withdraw from the Sui army's ambush circle and reorganize our troops, it was still unclear who would win. ….
Cao Cao was not the only one to realize this. The commanders of the Jurchen Army, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Loushi, also understood this truth. They immediately suggested to Cao Cao: "Lord Mo Lizhi, you immediately lead the army to retreat and reorganize, and the matter behind the palace will be settled." Leave it to us!"
Cao Cao nodded. The Jurchen Army is an army known for its tenacity. In this case, it is indeed the best solution for the Jurchen Army to take the rear. However, the Jurchen Army is only his ally and not his subordinates, so it is not easy for him to say this. .
"kill!"
Wanyan Zonghan slapped his horse and raised his saber in his hand. His son Wanyan Jinbaizi took the lead and rode out with the hammer, facing the Sui army on the opposite side.
"Dingdong, it is detected that Wanyan's golden marble enters the brave state, the force is +6, the base force is 101, and the current force has increased to 107."
"Dingdong, it has been detected that Wanyan Zonghan has entered the state of bravery. His strength is +5, his base strength is 98, and his current strength has increased to 103."
"As expected!"
Sui army coach Han
Xin Li stood high, and after seeing the movements of the Goguryeo and Jurchen armies, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and everything seemed confident. He waved his hand lightly, and the messengers behind him understood, and raised the red flag high in their hands. Shake it a few times.
With the flags fluttering, only the thunderous roar of horse hooves could be heard. Tens of thousands of fine cavalry rushed out from the rear of the Goguryeo army from the thorn slope, sweeping in like a surging and rolling river. Long branches were like forests, and thousands of horses galloped, beating the earth. , dust was flying, as if the sky and the earth were changing color at this moment.
"Dingdong, it is detected that Huo Qubing has entered the state of divine power, his force is +6, his base force is 100, and his current force has increased to 106."
Among the thousands of troops, only the majestic and heroic young general Huo Qubing was in the lead, waving his spear like the wind, and entered the Goguryeo army like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. No one could stop him wherever he went.
Under the leadership of Huo Qubing, the Sui army was as powerful as a rainbow and as powerful as a broken bamboo, flying at lightning speed among the chaotic army. The retreating Goguryeo army was thrown into chaos under the powerful impact of the Sui army. In an instant, blood spattered, heads rolled down, and wailing sounds were heard.
"The Governor is wise!"
On the high slope, Liu Xuanchu and Song Zhengben, who joined the army, saw Huo Qubing's troops rampaging through the Goguryeo army like a devastation, and they couldn't help but praise Han Xin with their hands.
Han Xin smiled and accepted the praises of Liu Xuanchu and Song Zhengben calmly, and said with a smile: "Cao Cao went from being an unknown person to Mo Lizhi of Goguryeo in just a few years. He is indeed a talent. Unfortunately, Pyongyang When a fire breaks out in the rear, he can no longer maintain a normal state of mind. He is too anxious and can no longer analyze the situation calmly, so it is easy to predict how he will respond. "
"Brother Wenzhao, please speed up your troops to intercept the Sui cavalry!"
When Cao Cao saw that Huo Qubing's troops were chopping up melons and vegetables in the chaos, killing his soldiers and corpses all over the field, he couldn't help but became anxious and quickly ordered Cao Wenzhao to lead his troops to intercept Huo Qubing.
There are not many cavalry in the Goguryeo army. Cao Wenzhao has 6,000 cavalry under his command, as well as two powerful generals, Cao Bianjiao and Cao Ning. They are the largest and strongest cavalry among the established cavalry in the Goguryeo army.
After Cao Wenzhao received the order, he quickly organized his army and set off. Six thousand fine cavalry charged at the Sui army with murderous intent.
When Huo Qubing saw this, he raised his spear and shouted loudly: "Attack and quickly defeat the Goguryeo cavalry!"
"kill!"
The two cavalrymen galloped rapidly and collided suddenly at a certain moment. Their weapons clashed, their armors collided, their horses neighed, and countless people fell off their horses in an instant. .
