The cavalry on the left and right wings of the Sui army were waiting outside the battlefield to recharge their batteries, but they kept watching the Liangzhou army fighting, and saw the Liangzhou army suppressing the Goguryeo army and retreating steadily, suffering heavy casualties. Their ambition to make contributions had already made them unable to restrain themselves. After finally waiting for the order to attack, like a tiger coming out of its cage, it swept towards Goguryeo's defeated troops with the temperament and power of destroying everything.
A one-sided massacre-like battle broke out again in the wilderness. Generals such as Yuwenshu and Tudiji led their armies to fight hard, killing the defeated soldiers and leaving corpses everywhere.
The death and bloodshed frightened the Goguryeo forward troops into defeat. Surrounded by the three armies, they were like water trapped in a canal. They could only turn their horses' heads one after another. Driven by the desire to survive, they fought hard to beat the horses. They ran for their lives in the direction of the heavy cavalry. The heavy cavalry soldiers couldn't stop them from running away in fear. They could only watch helplessly as the defeated troops crashed towards them.
"Quick, shoot these defeated soldiers and horses to death!" Many Goguryeo generals shouted loudly. The galloping defeated soldiers have already driven their horses to charge. At this moment, they have no choice but to stop even if they want to. The only way is to kill them in the formation. forward. After the order was given, someone drew up his bow and nocked an arrow, and fired the arrow at these crazy soldiers; but for the high-speed galloping horses, the pain caused by the arrow cluster made them even more crazy.
"Rumble!" In the horrified eyes of many heavy cavalry soldiers, many wounded horses that had lost their owners ran headlong into the dense heavy cavalry formation, and bursts of screams and wails spread throughout the entire army in an instant. .
Songzun's cheeks twitched violently several times. He clearly saw that these soldiers were crazy. They rushed towards them with all their strength, including men and horses. They often knocked down several cavalrymen in a row before they were exhausted, and the collapse that followed followed. After the soldiers trampled them to death, they rushed forward again, knocked down a group, and then came again. This cycle continued, so that the simple heavy cavalry phalanx he finally formed was captured by his own soldiers.
The heavy cavalry and heavy infantry originally wanted to teach the Sui army a lesson and use the lives of the Sui army to wash away the humiliation the Sui Dynasty had inflicted on them. However, now, the originally strong morale has been wiped out and countless people have been seriously injured. What's even more terrifying is that behind these defeated troops, the Sui army's attack has just begun.
Under the sky and on the grass, the Sui army's cavalry plowed roads paved with flesh and blood among the enemy groups, frantically tearing apart all the organized Goguryeo troops in front of them. In less than half an hour, the victorious The balance completely tipped towards the Sui army.
Surrounded by his personal guards, Songzun fought his way out of the heavy cavalry formation in embarrassment. Looking back at the gradually disintegrating Goguryeo army, he closed his eyes in pain, defeated!
At this time, Songzun's heart was filled with regret and pain. God had clearly given him a good opportunity for victory, but he missed it. He could have deployed the military formation to face the Sui army in an upright manner, and with the weapons in his hands In terms of strength and type of troops, they had at least a 70% chance of winning, but like that reckless man Li Yong, he believed that the Sui army was small, so he did not send additional scouts.
They did not seize the opportunity, but the Sui army deployed first, seized the opportunity of their hasty battle, issued combat orders, and then used a sharp light cavalry to take the lead in conquering the chaotic forward, and then led the chaos to Heavy cavalry.
"Dongdong, Dongdong!" At this moment, a huge drum sound suddenly sounded. This was the drum sound coming from the Sui army.
"General, this is the Sui army's order for reinforcements to attack in an all-out manner!" A general nearby was taken aback and quickly reminded Song Zun loudly.
There was also a storm in Songzun's heart. He said with some disbelief: "Didn't Gao Jinzhong say that he only needs 30,000? Reinforcements? The Sui army still has reinforcements?"
As soon as he finished speaking, two elite knights charged from a distance like a stormy sea. This is indeed the Sui army's reinforcements, with five thousand troops on each side, and another 10,000 Liangzhou troops in Yang Ji's hands.
This time, Yang Ji brought 40,000 Liangzhou troops, 10,000 Xiaoguo troops, 10,000 Xi tribe troops, plus 15,000 defenders, with a total force of 75,000; he assigned Yin Shishi and Yang Shanhui to After leaving, there are still 50,000 troops available.
He asked Hao Yuan and Ling Jing to lead 2,000 Liangzhou troops to guard the camp, and then deployed 30,000 troops on the frontal battlefield based on the strength of the invading army, and then divided the 10,000 Liangzhou troops into two assault teams. As for the last eight thousand cavalry, under the leadership of Yang Yichen, they had bypassed Gongnong Mountain and headed straight for the southern camp.
"Dongdongdongdong!" The majestic war drums became more and more rapid and intensive. Inspired by the war drums, the two elite divisions became more powerful. They were like sharp arrows, piercing the infantry square behind them. The infantry formation also began to appear in chaos, and the entire Goguryeo army was also in chaos.
Songzun could not have imagined that the elite southern army that he was so proud of could be so unbearable. They were so fiercely attacked by two Sui armies that their will to fight quickly collapsed, and they all fled without their armor in the blink of an eye.
"Don't run away, come forward and fight!" Song Zun killed ten deserters in a row and his voice became hoarse. However, instead of achieving any effect, it made them escape faster and more.
The Goguryeo army is surrounded by enemies from both sides and is in danger, but for them, the most terrible thing is the chaos. Now every branch of the army and every military formation has been scattered and killed by the defeated troops. The entire army will not be able to find soldiers. Without the general, defeat is certain.
Seeing that the army was defeated and the situation was over, Songzun had no choice but to order a breakout.
As Shuai Qi withdrew, more and more Goguryeo troops fled south. This also turned a battle full of suspense into a one-sided pursuit and massacre without any suspense. Bodies were everywhere, rivers of blood flowed, and broken limbs were everywhere.
The 40,000-strong Goguryeo army that marched northward with great momentum suffered heavy casualties and were completely defeated by the Sui army's repeated strangleholds and pursuits.

Seeing that the Sui army's encirclement was about to close, Yang Ji quickly ordered: "Let them go, our army will cover them from behind!"
At this moment, the Goguryeo army has become "returning without restraint." If it adopts a posture of encirclement and annihilation, these already fierce soldiers will definitely carry it to the end, and the amazing combat power they will unleash, like a last-ditch battle, will surely give them a decisive blow. The Sui army caused huge casualties. But if you encircle three walls and open one side, these people will lose their determination to fight to the death and scramble to escape. Few people will choose to fight to the end. This way, they can cover up the enemy from behind, which will not only reduce the losses of their own troops, but also effectively annihilate Goguryeo. Vital.
Yu Wenshu, Han Hong, Xue Ju, Pei Xingyan, Tu Diji and other generals are not unaware of this. It's just that they are in the middle of the battle and cannot see the overall situation or the movements of 'friendly forces' clearly. Will lead the troops to kill. Everyone has this mentality, and a circle of encirclement is formed naturally.
And Yang Ji was condescending, having a panoramic view of everything on the battlefield, and immediately issued new combat instructions.
"Yes!" Many flag soldiers on standby picked up their horns and blew their cheeks suddenly.
"Woo, woo, woo..." The continuous sound of the horn suddenly sounded, and Yu Wenshu, Han Hong, Xue Ju, Pei Xingyan, Tu Diji and other generals listened to the order and quickly made changes to let the soldiers Use the flag to direct the soldiers under his command to assemble.
The soldiers of the Goguryeo army didn't know why the Sui army was kind enough to let them leave, but the desire for survival had already overshadowed everything. They rushed towards the southern camp like a torrent that burst a dike.
"Hunt!"
"Cover and kill!"
The various teams of the Sui army simply formed their formations, made a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, and followed Goguryeo in pursuit.
Dead bodies and wounded soldiers were left all over the mountains and plains.
"Your Majesty, good news! General Yin and General Yang have achieved a glorious victory an hour and a half ago." Just as Yang Ji was leading his soldiers and preparing to go down the hill, a group of scouts came rushing from a distance. He said: "This is a joint letter from General Yin and Yang to you."
"Oh?" Yang Ji took the envelope, opened it and looked at it carefully. The letter said that after Yin Shishi defeated the Beida camp and captured the general Yuan Tailang alive, he joined forces with Yang Shan and easily defeated 30,000 elite cavalry led by Li Yong.
Originally, they wanted to come to join the war, but Zhu Can, who had escorted Yuan Tailang back to the military camp, actually took Yuan Tailang back with him. However, it was Hao Yuan and Ling Jing who gave them a new mission and asked Yin Shishi to take Yuan Tailang back. Tailang defrauded Changtu City, and at the same time, based on the situation here, he issued combat instructions to Cui Hongsheng of Nanfuyu City. As for how the two armies should cooperate, it was up to them to decide based on the actual situation.
Yang Shanhui was still cleaning the battlefield at this time, but Yuchi Gong, Chu and Luo followed the order and led eight thousand cavalry to attack the Xifeng camp.
Seeing that the two masterminds could make such a detailed arrangement at the first time, Yang Ji was overjoyed and ordered a soldier to go to the camp to summon Hao Yuan and Ling Jing to come here to clean up the battlefield. He was relieved to join the pursuing army. among.
