In terms of strength comparison, Yang Shanhui was at an absolute disadvantage. Li Yong had 30,000 cavalry, while he only had 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry. However, Yang Shanhui was fully prepared before the battle. First, a Hongfeng general and Goguryeo's 10,000 light cavalry then dispersed the enemy soldiers with man-made swamps, causing Goguryeo to lose the advantage of the cavalry. At the same time, the powerful heavy cavalry was immobilized and their life and death were uncertain. The two superimposed, and the gap in military strength became Tiny, tiny.
What's more important is that Goguryeo hastily responded to the war and was in the dilemma of fighting on its own. Although they fought tenaciously, after losing the opportunity, no matter how hard they fought, they could not change the trend of decline.
Yang Shanhui did not join the battle, but watched the battle with two hundred elite cavalry; he was the commander-in-chief of this army. If he joined the battlefield, the Sui army would lose its soul, lose its command center, and be unable to cooperate in the battle. Once the battle situation If there is a change, the Sui army, which can only fight on its own, is likely to allow the Goguryeo army to turn defeat into victory.
"General, we will definitely win." Li Xiaogong, who was following Yang Shanhui, was on the battlefield for the first time. The cruelty and solemn atmosphere of the battlefield made him breathless. Seeing that the overall situation was decided, he breathed a long sigh of relief. , use laughter to relieve the discomfort in your heart.
In his opinion, the Goguryeo army had been completely dispersed by the Sui army, and there was only one way to defeat it, and there was no other way out.
"Yes, this battle is too dangerous, it won't be easy!" The one who spoke was Li Xiaogong. Next to him was an extraordinary young man named Dugu Xianyi, who was the eldest grandson of Dugu Shun. He wore a set of gorgeous and dazzling silver light armor, a white cape, and a snow-white divine war horse under his crotch. He held a silver-dyed horse spur in his hand.
Dugu Xianyi's coquettish attire looked particularly special and conspicuous among the crowd of black armors, making him look more like a coach than Yang Shanhui.
Regarding what Li and Dugu said, everyone, including Yang Shanhui, was noncommittal. Even a soldier was too lazy to pay attention to these two new recruits.
"It's too early to say anything about victory or defeat at this time!" Yang Shanhui paused and said calmly: "There are many examples of battles in which defeat is turned into victory, and victory is turned into defeat. Before the last moment, any change may happen. The more the situation becomes, the more likely it is. At this time, the less we can be careless and underestimate the enemy, the more we must act cautiously.”
Li Xiaogong and Dugu Xianyi looked at each other, with a hint of shame flashing in their eyes.
"General Dugu, your armor is very high-end, gorgeous and beautiful. But if there is a duel between the two armies, you will be the one who attracts the arrows." Yang Shanhui glanced at Dugu Xianyi and reminded: "If you don't If you have the courage that a man of ten thousand men would not deserve, and if you don’t have the martial arts skills of being the first general among a million soldiers, you’d better put on the armor that a normal person should wear, otherwise, you will definitely be the first person to die; you He simply didn’t live long enough to attract the manager’s attention.”
After hearing his words, Dugu Xianyi suddenly turned red and his face felt hot. In fact, he did plan to gallop around the battlefield in this unique shopping attire, and then attract the attention of Yang Ji and all the soldiers. But now when I heard what Yang Shanhui said, I realized that I was completely an arrow-sucking existence.
"If you don't listen to good advice and insist on going your own way, it's best to stay away from us in the future and don't hurt us. It's okay not to leave, but at critical moments, you can escape first and we will be responsible for covering you." After Yang Shanhui finished speaking, he looked towards battlefield.
Li Xiaogong was slightly shocked at first, but when he heard the end, he suddenly understood what Yang Shanhui meant and couldn't help laughing "haha".
Dugu Xianyi's face turned even redder as he smiled. Why should he run away first? It was clear that he was going to attract all the enemy troops away.
"Report to General, four to five thousand enemy troops have escaped from the southwest." At this time, a scout cruising around the periphery rode his horse to report: "Looking at their posture, they intend to regroup and attack me. The infantry launched an assault, but that direction was right behind General Yuchi, and the defense was very weak, with only more than 300 crossbowmen and no other arms."
When Li Xiaogong and Dugu Xianyi heard this, they were shocked. They were still complacent and boasting just now, but unexpectedly, just dozens of breaths later, something unexpected happened suddenly. If Yang Shanhui had led them into the battlefield before, or had responded improperly, the Sui army would have fallen into a situation beyond redemption.
The two knew that the Sui army had no troops left except theirs. They were so anxious that they didn't know what to do. They both looked at Yang Shanhui nervously.
However, Yang Shanhui was not impressed. He calmly ordered the flag soldiers: "Mingchu and Luo's left wing will leave the battlefield and attack the enemy forces in the southwest. They must not be allowed to assemble into an army, let alone attack General Yuchi. "
Li Xiaogong's eyes lit up, and he was even more amazed. Only now did he understand why Yang Shanhui let Chu and Luo split the cavalry in two. It seemed that he had predicted this step. At this moment, the left-wing cavalry who was ordered to block the enemy was used at the right time.
As the flags danced, the flag soldiers following Chu Heluo immediately understood the commander's intention, and immediately told the order to Chu Heluo, who did not know the Sui army's flag.
Chu Heluo led 2,500 cavalrymen to kill the enemy with arrows in the southeast corner of the battlefield. When he heard the flag soldier's words, he quickly asked his soldiers to send a message to his own soldiers. When more than a dozen generals rushed to his side, he shouted sternly He shouted: "Warriors, this battle is related to our fortune in the Sui Dynasty and the original honor and disgrace of our tribe and clan. The Goguryeo rebel army has defeated the Liangzhou army brothers and killed them. If we continue to act as spectators, if we cannot defeat the rebels, Wouldn't it appear that our army is too incompetent if we are defeated?"
Slowly raised the iron spear in his hand and shouted: "Warriors, now pick up the weapons in your hands and follow me to kill these despicable Goguryeo dog thieves. Use the blood and lives of the enemy to establish the prestige of my tribe. , and also let the Liangzhou brothers see the bravery of my tribe and the loyalty of my tribe to the Sui Dynasty."
"Ho ho ho~" Behind them, a group of Xi tribe soldiers raised their weapons and began to shout loudly, and the momentum that was already erupting from winning the battle suddenly increased a lot.
"Kill, kill, kill!" General Chu Heluo waved the spear in his hand, and led his bodyguards to charge first, followed closely by a group of generals and men, followed closely by more than 2,000 soldiers. Following the move, they launched a fierce charge toward the southwest.
Although Chu Heluo is a "foreigner", he can be the leader of the Xi tribe among the weak and the strong, so he is naturally a person with real abilities. He knew that after the great chief Xi Zhong was executed by them and the Sui army, the Xi clan was quickly incorporated and reorganized by the Sui Dynasty. Everything in the future must abide by the Sui Dynasty's legal system, and they, the chiefs, would also lose their existing status. power; and the Xi clan, inherited from Donghu, will also become history.
If Chu Hebu wants to integrate into the Great Sui Dynasty and live a better life in the future, he must show enough sincerity and show enough military exploits; only in this way, he may be able to continue to lead his warriors for the Great Sui Dynasty. Sui War. Therefore, in this expedition to Goguryeo, they must fight and kill fiercely without any illusion of preserving their strength.
Otherwise, not only would he himself follow in the footsteps of Xi Zhong, but the life and safety of his people would not be guaranteed.

Li Yong had stabilized his position and was about to lead more than 4,000 men to attack the weak points of the Sui army. When he heard that a cavalry was charging, his face was terrifyingly gloomy, his black eyes flashed with anger, and he shouted: : "Li Cheng, take the spearmen and help me hit it."
"Yes!" Reicheng responded, leading more than a thousand spearmen who had gathered urgently to meet the cavalry.
When they came out, Li Yong shouted: "The crossbowmen come out!"
"Bows and arrows are strung and ready to be released."
A series of military orders were conveyed in an orderly manner. The distance between the two armies was only two miles. It was not long for the galloping cavalry, but this time was enough for the Goguryeo army to do many things. However, Chu Heluo was not a reckless man. When he saw Goguryeo's infantry-conquering cavalry formation from a distance, he knew that this was the nemesis of his own light cavalry. He immediately led his own soldiers to fight the horses and headed southeast, crossing the After an arc, they went straight to the rear of the Goguryeo army.
Under the guidance of the big flag, the warriors behind him also drew a small arc and followed suit.
"Boom~" The Xi warriors at the front galloped their horses wildly into the side and rear of the Goguryeo army. The screams of the war horses were mixed with the screams of the soldiers on both sides. The Goguryeo army turned on their backs, and the soldiers from both sides flew to the ground. The Xi tribe soldiers of the platoon stepped directly on the corpses of both sides and continued to attack the depths of the military formation.
They have no skills at all, they are just desperate.
Human life suddenly became fragile in this war. After paying the price of hundreds of lives, the army that Goguryeo had finally assembled was broken open. Chu Heluo waved his spear crazily and stabbed the surrounding people. The weapons were swung away, but more weapons were thrust at him. Several attacks could not really break Goguryeo's tenacious military formation.
At this time, like the Goguryeo army, they lost the charge advantage of the cavalry. The two sides started a bloody close combat on this land. The two sides fought so hard that flesh and blood flew everywhere, heads rolled, and screams and wails resounded throughout the world.
Both the enemy and us were furious, waving swords and thrusting spears desperately. During the battle, Xi tribe warriors were stabbed to death, including men and horses. However, they were not afraid of death and still surged like the tide of a bursting embankment. Step forward and attack the Goguryeo army from a high position.
"Kill, kill, kill..." A burst of earth-shattering shouts of killing suddenly sounded in the southwest of the Goguryeo army. Chu Heluo, who had already withdrawn from the battle, squinted his eyes and looked far away, only to see densely packed figures appearing under the guidance of a big flag. end of the horizon.
The distance was too far for Chu and Luo to see clearly the words on it, but the red flag finally made him recognize it as his own flag. Moreover, those who came were all cavalry. They were running like lightning, and their horses were as fast as dragons. They rushed towards the rear of Goguryeo like a tide. Wherever they passed, they killed the enemy troops with blood splattering everywhere, limbs flying everywhere, and wailing sounds.
"Haha, hahaha!" Chu Heluo didn't bother to think about which army this was. He just knew that they came at the right time. He laughed wildly and shouted: "Warriors, our reinforcements are here, follow me and kill."
The warriors of the Xi tribe are, after all, foreign soldiers. Their style is very similar to that of the Turks, and they are best at fighting against the wind. However, when they tried their best, they failed to break through the Goguryeo army, and they lost their energy little by little. As soon as they saw the reinforcements arriving, their courage recovered again, and under the leadership of the general, they rushed to press the Goguryeo army.
The soldiers of the Goguryeo army were so frightened that they were killed by this uniquely dressed army. Seeing that they were unable to do anything, they finally collapsed. The soldiers outside began to leave the battlefield and fled towards the jungle behind.
Li Yong looked around and sadly discovered that his army had suffered a devastating blow in less than an hour. The number of soldiers who could still gather around him was less than 300, not even one in a hundred. This is !
"General, what should we do?" Li Cheng and others withdrew one after another, looking at the general with anxious eyes.
what to do?
"Of course it's best to go!" Li Yong said these words through his teeth. If he died in a head-on confrontation, he would have nothing to say, but the damn Sui army had been playing tricks from the beginning. Just use intrigue to plot people. This made him very unhappy and unwilling to die.
With that said, he followed the few remaining soldiers and fled into the jungle.
In this night's battle, Yang Ji dispatched a total of 20,000 main troops and 5,000 Xi tribe soldiers. With their advantages in night fighting and ambushes, they successively defeated the 15,000 elites of Goguryeo's Beida camp and the 30,000 elite cavalry who rushed to the rescue. They killed up to 100,000 enemies. There were more than 40,000 soldiers, and countless horses and armors were captured. Less than 3,000 soldiers successfully escaped.
But the battle here is over, but the battle led by Yang Ji has not yet begun.
