As Song Zun, Li Yong and others expected, evacuation was not easy. Eulji Takeok had just assembled his troops to exit the camp, and before he could set fire to the mountains of supplies, 8,000 cavalry led by Yuchi Gong and Chu Heluo had already arrived. , when they had no choice but to leave the camp, Yuchi Gong led 3,000 soldiers to take over the camp and inventory the supplies, while Chu and Luo followed leisurely with 5,000 people.
Eulji Takeok finally led 5,000 soldiers to rendezvous with the defeated soldiers such as Song Zun, but found that he fell into a bigger sinkhole, because there were more than 30,000 Sui troops here, and the two Sui armies joined together. The total number of soldiers is at least 40,000; and the total number of Goguryeo troops is less than 10,000.
The Goguryeo army, which had both cavalry and infantry, was outflanked by four times as many Sui army cavalry from the north, east, and west. The entire army was unable to move.
The Sui army did not take action immediately, but quietly closed the encirclement, and the Goguryeo army did not dare to take the initiative to attack.
The two sides faced each other at a distance and were on guard against each other. Although the two sides did not fight, the Sui soldiers sent out cavalry from time to time to surprise and fire arrows from three directions. When Song Zun sent more people, the Sui army's horse archers retreated to the direction of the main army, and the main force behind them pressed on; when there were fewer people, they were shot dead by them.
Let's charge the whole army, but we don't dare!
As a result, the two armies were in a stalemate on the grassland, but the morale of the Goguryeo army was getting lower and lower over time, and there was a huge turmoil in the morale of the army. This made Song Zun, Li Yong and other generals feel annoyed. , and deeply despaired.
In desperation, Song Zun and others had to form their own army into a square formation. The infantry held spears and shields on guard outside, while the cavalry held bows and crossbows to cover the infantry inside.
On the Sui army's side, the three armies were already doing their own things and getting ready for battle. Yang Ji sat upright on his horse with his helmet on, and watched the rapid formation of the Goguryeo army. He couldn't help but secretly nodded. Songzun was considered a famous general of Goguryeo. Let alone his combat skills, he was defeated like a mountain. After that, few could match the decisiveness and prestige that allowed this army to form a formation to restrain the cavalry in an instant.
It’s just that everything is overthinking. Don’t you know that Yang Ji is famous for restraining cavalry? Besides, what use can such a small force with low morale do?
When the soldiers successfully formed the defensive cavalry formation, Songzun finally breathed a sigh of relief. He ordered Yeyong and Eulji Takeok to coordinate the situation while he led a group of soldiers to the north of the formation to observe the enemy's situation; When he saw the banner of "Wei Wang Yang" and a Xuanjia general holding a horse, he clearly felt that the spirit of the Sui soldiers had undergone earth-shaking changes, and the momentum and murderous intent of the entire army was even more intense. reached its peak.
Songzun knew that this general was Yang Ji who single-handedly pulled Goguryeo from glory to abyss. He looked at the opponent with gritted teeth and secretly swore in his heart that as long as Songzun did not die, he would one day make Yang Ji pay ten times or even more. price.
"General, something bad is going to happen!" Just as Song Zun was gnashing his teeth and getting angry, Eulji Butuk rode his horse forward and said in a trembling voice: "In front of the Sui army formations on the left and right wings, many armored horses appeared. The Sui army connected the horses with chains. At one place; it seems that the Sui army is planning to use heavy cavalry to attack our formation."
"What?" Song Zun's face suddenly turned pale. He quickly turned his horse's head and returned to the central army. He looked at both sides and saw rows of "chain horses" in front of the Sui army's formation, facing his formation. .
He took a deep breath and said loudly: "The military formation will move south immediately. As long as the horses are separated from the chain, they will not be able to rush to our military formation."
"Boom~" Just when the Goguryeo army was moving in accordance with the order, there was a huge sound of horse hoofs from the left and right sides. Songzun looked at it and saw rows of chained horses set on fire by the Sui army. They were carrying The power of destroying everything crashed towards the military formation.
Horse hooves flew, mud and grass flew everywhere, and ferocious murderous intent instantly filled the space between heaven and earth. Faced with the power of the madly charging fire horses, the peripheral infantry all ran for their lives like crazy. This also caused the newly formed formation to immediately Falling apart.
"Boom, boom, boom~" In the desperate eyes of Song Zun and the Goguryeo soldiers, rows of chain-fire horses fiercely crashed into the dense military formation from the left and right sides, killing all the troops until they were on their backs and screamed in agony. Sounds and wails suddenly appeared
spread among the army.
"Attack!" Seeing the chaos among the Goguryeo soldiers, Yang Ji fiercely pointed the Toujia Wujinshan straight ahead and shouted sternly: "Kill all these dog slaves for me."
Saying that, he rode his horse towards the enemy's formation.
"Kill, kill, kill." Almost at the same time, the elite divisions on the left and right wings who had set off the fire horses also rushed towards the military formation.
Yang Ji would inevitably hurt his own soldiers. Each of the three Sui armies only sent 5,000 cavalry. Although the number was small, the Goguryeo army was originally frightened. The courage to "fight to the last ditch" also disappeared without a trace during the "long" confrontation. There was no trace, and rows of flaming horses rushed the army to pieces, leaving corpses everywhere. No one had the courage to fight the enemy bravely.
The Goguryeo soldiers, all facing south, were shattered one after another under the shining swords of the Sui army. Hot blood soaked into the ground. The remains of human and horse corpses were spread on the grass in a thick layer. Their appearance was miserable and as if Purgatory.
"Retreat, retreat to the south!" Song Zun, Ye Yong, Eulji Takeok, Ye Sung and other generals in the central army saw the scattered soldiers on the periphery resisting the Sui army, and they were able to hold off the Sui forces who were attacking fiercely. The army was restrained, and he knew that he could escape just in time. If he stayed here any longer or fought with the enemy, he was afraid that no one could escape, so under Song Zun's order, he led the Chinese army's elite cavalry toward the enemy without hesitation. Running south.
This was also the only path left by Yang Ji for them. Although the Sui troops who did not participate in the war had already come to cover them up, and there were probably ambushes in the south, these panic-stricken Goguryeo soldiers could no longer care about so much and just hoped to escape as soon as possible. Battlefield, get rid of pursuers.
Yang Ji took the lead, with the light and shadow from the armor-piercing black gold tree in his hands. His broken limbs were like falling leaves, which actually had a sad and beautiful beauty. The black Mercedes-Benz was like a swimming dragon, floating through the chaos like a dark cloud, carrying The master rushed straight towards the Goguryeo army, and above Yang Ji's head, two golden birds spread out their huge wings and soared. They kept making clear chirps, indicating the direction for Yang Ji. From time to time, they would swoop down and attack the Goguryeo soldiers fiercely.
The legs are covered with feathers, and the feet have three toes pointing forward and one toe pointing backward. The toes are equipped with thick and long horny claws as sharp as a liger. The inner toes and rear toes are even sharper. They grasp When preying, it can pierce the prey's vitals like a sharp blade, and even break the neck of the prey. A pair of huge wings is also one of the powerful weapons. Sometimes it can knock the prey to the ground with just one wing flap.
Yang Ji's pair of golden beasts are not only fierce, but also very smart. The objects they attack are all without helmets. Their beaks and sharp claws are like blades and can easily break the heads of enemy soldiers.
The three golden gyrfalcons following closely behind are small, beautiful and powerful. They are extremely ferocious in nature and are especially good at using their small ones to defeat the big ones. They can hunt not only swans, but also foxes and wolf cubs. They can be said to be the most powerful among the falcons. They are a powerful and fierce type. Although their lethality is not as good as that of Jinli, their speed is faster than that of Jinli. Whenever they swoop up, they can make a hole in the head of a Goguryeo soldier who has lost his helmet. This is the same as killing the opponent. What's the difference?
Eulji Taketoku, who was at the rear, turned around and saw Yang Ji leading a group of dark warriors towards him. He was immediately frightened and frantically urged his horse to rush forward.
Just when he turned his head to the south, his eyes suddenly blurred, and the front was even darker. He could no longer see anything in his eyes. When he was stunned, heartbreaking pain suddenly came from his eyes. But when he turned back, a gyrfalcon flew down as fast as lightning, and a pair of sharp claws scratched his eyeballs in an instant.
We can't blame this Gyrfalcon for having a particularly good vision. We can only blame Eulji Taketoku himself. At this moment, the soldiers of the Gogu Army were desperately fleeing south, but he looked back, so he, this maverick Existence immediately became the target of this gyrfalcon.
"Ah!" Eulji Taketoku screamed and fell off his horse. In an instant, he was trampled by the horses that came after him and sank into the ground together with his armor.
The two sides fled and chased for several miles, and happened to encounter 8,000 soldiers brought by Song Xian from the South Camp. He had taken over the defense of the South Camp on Song Xian's order last night. When the sky was about to dawn, he was called to lead his troops to garrison. The main command.
Not long ago, he heard that there was a battle ahead and the coach was in danger, so he sped forward. Seeing that he had arrived at the right time,
He immediately gave way to the defeated troops and led his troops forward to fight the mighty Sui army.
Although their courage was commendable, the Goguryeo army was over. On the other hand, the Sui army came with the momentum of a great victory. Not only did they have many soldiers and generals, but the entire army was at its peak of combat strength and energy.
Under the fierce attack of the Sui army, Song Xian's eight thousand army could not hold out for a moment before they were in danger.
About two moments later, the outer cavalry on the left and right wings of the Sui army, which had not joined the battlefield, had already caught up with Song Zun, Li Yong and others. The veteran Han Hong led a cavalry charge and charged forward, stirring up the wind and clouds with his horse spear in his hand. , the killed Goguryeo soldiers fled with their heads in their hands, not daring to be hostile.
On the other side was Yu Wenshu. His performance was no less impressive. The horse in his hand flew up and down, killing the enemy soldiers until they were covered with corpses.
Song Zun saw more and more Sui troops chasing after him, but there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him. Although he felt hatred and pain in his heart, he also knew that he did not dare to stay for a long time at this time. While Song Xian was resisting the Sui troops, he He and Li Yong and others found an opening and continued to fly south.
Two veteran generals, Han Hong and Yu Wenshu, were about to lead their troops in pursuit, but they were caught up by Yang Ji from behind. He stopped the two veteran generals with an imposing manner like ferocious tigers. Looking at the few cavalrymen escaping in the distance, he sneered: " No need to chase, let them escape!"
When Yu Wenshu heard this, he was very anxious and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Songzun is the commander-in-chief of the northern part of Goguryeo, and he is also a rare famous general in Goguryeo. If we let him go like this, it will be a big disaster!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Han Hong also said angrily: "If Song Zun can escape, it will definitely not be a good thing for our army in future wars."
"General Yuwen and General Han, don't worry, they can't escape very far, and they won't see the sun tomorrow." Yang Ji looked at the two generals who were extremely unwilling, and said with a smile: "Our soldiers have been fighting for a long time. You should take some rest at this time; only in this way can you be in the best condition to face the battle ahead."
Yu Wenshu pondered for a long time, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, "General Yang Yichen?"
"Yes, it's him!" Yang Ji nodded and said, "I was a little worried that Yang Yichen couldn't conquer Nanying, but now, I'm relieved!"
Yu Wenshu laughed and said, "That's true."
The South Camp of Goguryeo was very strong and guarded by 10,000 elite troops, but Yang Yichen only had 8,000 cavalry. It was indeed difficult to capture the South Camp in a hurry. However, the fact that 8,000 soldiers were trapped here shows that the South Camp had only 8,000 soldiers at the moment. There were four thousand defenders. And with Yang Yichen's ability and the strength four times that of the enemy, it is no problem to capture the South Camp.
.
.
.
.
Running wildly all the way, Songzun and the others were relieved when they saw that the Sui army was not chasing them. Songzun turned around and looked around, but saw only a few hundred horsemen fighting out of the encirclement. He recalled the momentum of the Goguryeo army at this time yesterday. , recalling what I had said before about concentrating our troops to go south to Changchun, a huge sadness suddenly rose in my heart.
"General Song, the eight thousand soldiers of the southern camp probably won't last long. What should we do now?" Li Yong felt even more uncomfortable than Song Zun.
In the final analysis, everything was caused by his unauthorized actions.
If he hadn't disobeyed the coach's orders, the coach wouldn't have changed his past stubborn fighting style, and they wouldn't have suffered a disastrous defeat.
"At this point, we can only gather the two thousand defenders of the southern camp to continue retreating south, and at the same time send people to warn other places." Song Zun calmed down, and after he finished speaking, he took the lead in riding south.
After running for a long time, the big flag floating over the South Camp was already in sight. However, at this moment, there was a rush of horse hoofbeats ahead. The expressions of Song Zun and others changed drastically. They quickly reined in their horses and looked, and found that there was actually something ahead of them. The leader of the Goguryeo banner was a deputy general from Nanying.
When he saw Song Zun and others, his face showed a hint of joy, he rode forward and said, "I will see General Song and General Li."
The faces of the people around him showed relief, but Songzun's expression was very gloomy. He roared and asked, "Why are you here? Who asked you to come?"
The deputy general was stunned for a moment, and said with some confusion: "Just now, a broken army came to report that it was General Songxian's army fighting the Sui army. Let the generals greet you."
"Without further delay, return to the camp as soon as possible!" Song Zun felt a little relieved. Judging from the current battle, the Sui army has already exhausted its ambush and has now been thrown to the rear. The south camp should be safe, but the south camp should be safe. They couldn't hold on any longer. They had to bring enough dry food and arrows in the shortest possible time, and then burn the camp and flee south.
The army rushed to the north gate of the south camp. From a distance, there were only a few patrol posts guarding the gate. Seeing their arrival, they asked the defenders below to lower the drawbridge and open the gate of the camp.
When the soldiers from the front led by Song Zun flew in, a fence made of hard giant wood crashed down from the camp gate, killing several soldiers below including them and their horses on the ground.
Songzun and others looked back in astonishment. Songzun raised his eyes and looked at the gate tower, and said angrily: "Who told you to lower the gate?"
"Hahahaha, this order from me, Yang Yichen, is unexpected, isn't it?" Above the gate tower, a heroic laughter suddenly sounded. A middle-aged man in armor stood behind the railing and looked at Song Zun with a playful look. He cupped his fists and said, "General Songzun, right? I am Yang Yichen, the deputy marching commander of Liaodong Road. I have been waiting here for a long time. Please dismount!"
"Yang Yichen?" Song Zun and others' eyes widened in disbelief. This person was actually Yang Yichen, the deputy general manager of the Sui Army.
When Songzun saw Sui soldiers holding repeating crossbows all around him, his heart suddenly turned gray. He looked at Yang Yichen coldly and asked what everyone was thinking: "It's really strange. How did you come up with this thing silently?" Camp?"
"Easy!" Yang Yichen chuckled and said, "After we deceive that idiot guard away, let an army attack the south camp gate. Your soldiers are all over there, and this camp is too huge, so here Of course there was no sound."
Song Zun looked up to the sky and sighed, closing his eyes and saying nothing.
"Rumble" At the same time, there was the sound of huge horse hooves from both sides of the camp. Like a ferocious tiger emerging from a fire, four thousand Sui soldiers charged towards the panicked Goguryeo soldiers outside the camp!
The Goguryeo soldiers outside the camp saw that the situation was not good and dispersed in a crowd.
