Thousands of remnants of soldiers supported the two princes and continued to go west. Although they were trapped in the crowd, no one dared to stop.

"Elder General, where are we going?" the eldest prince Li Chengyao couldn't help but ask.

Cui Yongle replied: "Your Majesty has signed an alliance with Daqin before and regards Daqin as the sect leader! I think Daqin should accept us!"

The two princes nodded, with a depressed expression and a sense of worry.

In the early morning of the next day, thousands of people came to a hilly area more than 20 miles east of Qingyuan County. This Qingyuan County is thirty miles east of the border of Xuantu County of Daqin. The population is tens of thousands, half of which are Goguryeo and one-third are Han people, who survive by nomadic farming. The thousands of people who had been running for almost a day and a night were extremely exhausted, and Cui Yongle had no choice but to give an order to rest on the spot. As if the soldiers were granted a general amnesty, they immediately collapsed to the ground and were no longer willing to get up. Looking at the soldiers sank on the ground, Cui Yongle frowned.

Cui Yongle came to the two princes and reported: "The chariot and cavalry general of the Qin Dynasty had defeated the 20,000 troops guarding the west of Qingyuan County a day ago. At this moment, the Qin army might have been in Qingyuan County. I plan to send an officer to Qingyuan County to contact the Qin army!"

"The veteran general decided!" said the exhausted eldest prince Li Chengyao immediately.

Cui Yongle bowed his fists to the two and went down to pass the order. After a while, he rode several fast horses and rushed straight to Qingyuan County to the west.

About half an hour later, almost all the soldiers fell asleep, and the two princes were sleeping heavily. The sentry who was responsible for keeping watch on the high ground was also dozing off. Although the veteran general Cui Yongle did not want to fall asleep, he did not listen to his orders.

Suddenly, the veteran general Cui Yongle woke up and looked around. He saw the soldiers and the two princes sleeping peacefully. He breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He had just had a nightmare, and in the dream he saw everyone screaming and struggling in the fire.

Cui Yongle glanced at the sky, and the sun was approaching. Cui Yongle stood up and woke up one of the generals beside him, and ordered: "Wake up everyone immediately and prepare to go on the road!" As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Yongle felt a thunder sound in his ears, frowned, and asked: "Did you hear anything?" The general shook his head blankly. Cui Yongle listened carefully again, and his face suddenly changed, "No! This must be the enemy's cavalry! Hurry! Wake up!" Cui Yongle roared anxiously. The general was stunned, and then his face changed, and he rushed down and shouted: "Get up! Get up! Get up! All the enemy is here~~!"

The soldiers woke up from their sleep and looked around with a look of at a loss.

"The whole army is in line! Get ready to fight!!" Cui Yongle stood on a big rock with a big knife and shouted. Seeing Cui Yongle's figure, the soldiers calmed down a lot and hurriedly began to line up.

Cui Yongle jumped off the big stone, and the two princes immediately came up and asked anxiously: "Elder General~~" "Your Highness, don't worry, two highnesses!" Then he asked his subordinates to bring two war horses and handed them over to the two princes, and instructed: "Your Highnesses ride on the war horses and just go west!"

The two were stunned and couldn't help asking, "Where is the old general?"

Cui Yongle said calmly: "I'll stay here to block the pursuers!" Then he clasped his fists anxiously and said: "You don't need to say more about the two high men! Let's go!"

The two didn't know what to say, but for the first time in their lives, they felt moved. With the help of soldiers, they stepped on the war horse and solemnly clasped their fists at Cui Yongle and said, "Elder General, we must meet again!" Cui Yongle nodded solemnly and urged, "Go away!" The two rushed towards the west under the support of more than a dozen cavalrymen. At this moment, a general pointed to the east and shouted, "It's a cavalry!"

Cui Yongle turned around and looked east, and saw thousands of iron cavalry wearing green armor surging, like green waves. Cui Yongle quickly glanced at the soldiers, and saw that most of them were showing fear and despair. Cui Yongle sighed, frowned, raised his sword and shouted: "Surrender can only be a dead end, it is better to fight to the end!!" The soldiers couldn't help feeling a sense of despair, and the fear on their faces slowly faded away, and replaced them with a desperate look.

Gao Suo led thousands of light cavalry to pause at more than a hundred steps in front of Cui Yongle's formation, glanced at the thousands of remaining soldiers lined up in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"General, attack!" the general asked for instructions.

Gao Suo came back to his senses, his eyes condensed, and nodded, "Send the order, the first team attacks the left wing, the second team attacks the right wing, and the third team attacks the middle wing!" "Yes!"

Nearly five thousand light cavalry moved, and they divided into three parts and rushed towards Cui Yongle's army like three sharp arrows.

Arrows flew in the air in a row; war horses neighed and fell to the ground, and the cavalry that fell off the horse instantly disappeared under the thousands of iron hooves; infantry were successively shot into arrows and fell to the ground, and the entire infantry formation was like a pool under heavy rain, constantly rippling and splashing.

In a blink of an eye, the cavalry on both wings first collided with the infantry formation, and the entire infantry formation was shaking. Immediately afterwards, the cavalry in the middle also arrived. The two sides fought in a melee, and the battle was extremely fierce, and the screams were earth-shaking. Although they were once brothers, the two sides were no different from their enemies at this moment.

～～～～～～～～～～

The tragic battle lasted for two quarters of an hour. Cui Yongle's infantry no longer had the fighting will he had before. The remaining infantry retreated to a small hill with Cui Yongle. Thousands of light cavalry galloped back and forth around, with iron hooves like thunder and smoke and dust rolling. Cui Yongle and the others were already trapped in a siege.

"General, what should I do now?" a general asked with a look of panic.

Cui Yongle subconsciously glanced at the west side, then shook his head with a wry smile, "As long as the two high men escape to Qin, there will be hope!"

A captain under Gao Yan rode his horse up the hillside and came to the periphery of Cui Yongle, nearly a thousand remaining soldiers, and said loudly: "General Cui, you are desperate, so you should surrender! General Gao Yan promises that he will not make things difficult for everyone!"

Cui Yongle walked up and glanced at the soldiers under his command. He saw hope in everyone's eyes. Cui Yongle couldn't help but sigh and said to the captain: "Call Gao Suo, I want to listen to him in person!"

The captain was happy when he heard this, clasped his fists and said, "I'll report to the general!" A moment later, Gao Yan actually came, but he did not come to the hillside like the captain did just now, but stopped in the middle of the hillside.

"Elder General, I promise that in front of the soldiers of the two armies, I will not make things difficult for anyone! As long as you put down your weapons!" Gao Yan said solemnly.

"Haosulfan, you are a very capable general among the younger generation of Goguryeo. I have always been optimistic about you! But I didn't expect to meet in such a situation today!" Cui Yongle's tone was filled with emotion.

The high sulfur mood became a little complicated, and I didn’t know what to say.

Cui Yongle suddenly smiled, "Forget it! I just hope you cherish your words!"

Gao Yan clasped his fists solemnly and said, "I will guarantee my life!"

Cui Yongle nodded and sighed. He turned around and said to his commanders: "Put down your weapons!"

Hearing this, the nearly a thousand defeated generals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Some people couldn't wait to throw their weapons to the ground, and then the soldiers put down their weapons one after another.

Seeing this, Gao Xian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to fight Cui Yongle, the general he respected, to the end.

The high sulfur turned the horse head and returned to the army, ordered the first team of cavalry to go up and receive the prisoners, and at the same time ordered the second and third teams to be on guard.

Nearly a thousand people were escorted by the cavalry and walked down the hillside. Gao Xian really kept his promise. The light cavalry who received the strict order of Gao Xian did not make things difficult for these former comrades.
