Cao Cao couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. Most of the Jurchens were cavalry, and they were extremely brave. If the Jurchen army had stepped forward to intercept Huo Qubing's attack just now, perhaps there would not have been such a scene where the Sui cavalry slaughtered the Goguryeo infantry.
But the problem is that at the beginning of the war, the main force of the Jurchen Army was brought to the front by Yan Zonghan and Wanyan Jinpinzi. Now it is stuck with the Sui Army and it is impossible to withdraw.
Of course, this is also the reason why Han Xin did not stop Huo Qubing's troops from attacking in the first place. He mobilized the only Jurchen cavalry among the coalition forces that could intercept the Sui army's cavalry attack. This would allow the Sui army's cavalry attack to be maximized. As a result, the Goguryeo army suffered huge casualties.
Now the Jurchen general Wanyan Loushi who was left in the Chinese army had only two thousand cavalry left. Facing the tens of thousands of murderous Sui army cavalry, Wanyan Loushi's few remaining soldiers and horses were like a mantis using his arms as a chariot.
Cao Cao did not say these words, but Wanyan Loushi obviously understood the reason why Cao Cao was stunned on the spot. He yelled to bring Cao Cao back to reality: "Lord Mo Lizhi, the only way to fight now is to fight to the death. Quickly stabilize the chaos. The army reorganized its formation."
Only then did Cao Cao react. He nodded quickly, and a group of war horses rushed into the already chaotic crowd in front. He drew his sword in his hand and shouted sternly: "Stop moving around, all troops. Hold your position. Anyone who moves rashly will be killed!"
As he spoke, Cao Cao gave a fierce look to the left and right. Beside Cao Cao, two strong men like iron towers, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, understood each other. One waved his sword and the other opened his two halberds, killing the fastest fleeing generals. Get off your horse.
The iron-blooded killing instantly calmed the panicked soldiers. Cao Cao continued to shout: "Soldiers, our army is far stronger than the Sui army. The Sui army only killed us by surprise with a sneak attack. As long as we regroup We will definitely turn defeat into victory!”
After Cao Cao left, Wanyan Lou's room over there turned to look at the two thousand cavalry behind him. The faces he saw revealed a bit of worry and panic.
It's no wonder that the number of troops is obvious. Cao Cao knows it, Wanyan Loushi knows it, and these Jurchen cavalry also know it clearly. Moreover, most of the elite of the female main force followed Wanyan Agu and died in Youzhou, and Wanyan Lou's subordinates also had many young men newly recruited into the army.
Wanyan Loushi took a deep breath, slowly pulled out the scimitar from her waist, and slashed it towards her face without hesitation. For a moment, people behind her screamed in surprise.
This is the custom of the Xiongnu, Uighur and other ethnic groups. When encountering great sorrow or loss, the face is drawn to express sorrow. It can also be used to express sincerity and determination.
Rumor has it that in history, when Wanyan Agu launched an army, Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Dynasty personally led the expedition. The Song Dynasty, Xixia, Goryeo and the Thirty-five Fan Kingdoms all expressed support for the Liao Kingdom. The Song Dynasty also sent special envoys to the Liao court to present silver silk to aid the army. At this moment of life and death for the Jurchens, Wanyan Aguda held a high-level meeting and expressed his determination in public to boost the morale of the entire army.
"Jurchen sons and daughters."
Wanyan Loushi, whose face was already covered in blood, slowly stopped his movements, looked at the Jurchen cavalry behind him and shouted sternly: "Now it has come to the moment of life and death for my Jurchen. The one who is afraid of death is not my Jurchen's good son-in-law. Today I just want to die." !”
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The morale of the Jurchen cavalry was completely inspired by Wanyan Loushi's face. They raised their sabers and shouted loudly.
"Kill me!"
Wanyan Loushi slashed forward with the saber in his hand, and the two thousand Jurchen cavalry rushed towards the Sui cavalry in front like crazy. Their horseshoes formed in formation and the momentum was astonishing.
The Sui cavalry, which was attacking with great momentum, suddenly encountered a desperate counterattack by the Jurchen cavalry. They were caught off guard and were completely stopped from attacking.
Wanyan Loushi roared loudly and slashed with his sword left and right. The cavalry under his command also roared crazily and attacked frantically, regardless of life or death.
"Jurchen barbarian, the will of our Sui soldiers will not be lost to anyone!"
Huo Qubing was furious when he saw this. He raised his spear high in the air and shouted: "Commanders, rush up and show these barbarians. None of our Sui soldiers are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"Kill!"
Under the leadership of Huo Qubing, the Sui army's cavalry quickly launched a counterattack against the Jurchen cavalry. The Sui army soldiers rushed towards the Jurchen cavalry like tigers descending from the mountain. The two cavalrymen quickly staggered and entangled, and their sabers collided with each other. Sparks flew everywhere, and the shouts of killing shook the earth and sky, soaring into the sky.
No one in the two armies was willing to take a step back. They gnashed their teeth and wielded their swords and guns with all their might to attack the opposite side, completely unaware of their exhaustion. Blood was flying in the shadows of swords and swords, people were shouting and horses were neighing, and the two knights were in close combat. The powerful impact knocked them to the ground. The Jurchen soldiers, relying on their tall bodies, rushed over and pinched the Sui soldiers' necks. The Sui soldiers The soldier gritted his teeth, grabbed an arrow from the ground, and stabbed the Jurchen soldier in the back. The Jurchen soldiers wailed and died. Just as the Sui soldiers wanted to take a breath, a horse flew up from nowhere. The sword flashed past, and the Sui soldiers also fell to the ground clutching their chests. On the battlefield, such scenes abound, and there is a tragic atmosphere surrounding them.

It has to be said that the bravery and tenacity of the Jurchens really exceeded everyone's expectations. Even the young hero Huo Qubing couldn't help but be slightly moved. It wasn't until Huo Qubing pierced the chest of the Jurchen commander Wanyan Loushi that the battle came to an end. The Jurchen cavalry ended with At the cost of annihilating the entire army, Cao Cao gained critical time to reorganize his team.
After Huo Qubing defeated the Jurchen cavalry that was blocking the road, he faced the more than 30,000 Goguryeo troops that had reorganized. Ten thousand sword shield bearers were arranged in five rows in front, and five thousand crossbowmen behind them also raised their bows and arrows. After that, the pikemen and cavalry lined up in a row, holding the spears in their hands tightly, and pointed their sharp pointed tips at the oncoming Huo Qubing's troops with a cold light.
Huo Qubing's expression changed slightly. Although the Goguryeo army had already set up a defensive formation, Huo Qubing, who was arrogant by nature, still wanted to try to attack the Goguryeo army. This rising military superstar could only attack, attack and attack again when facing the enemy on the battlefield. , there is absolutely no reason to take a step back.
Just when Huo Qubing raised his spear and was about to give the order to attack, Han Xin, who was looking at the overall battlefield, gave the order to ring gold. Han Xin understood that the Goguryeo army was not the Jurchens, and their fighting will was far inferior to that of the Jurchens. With Huo Qubing's ability, he could definitely overwhelm the Goguryeo army, but facing the Goguryeo army that had already prepared a good defense, such casualties were inevitable. It will be very disastrous.
