As soon as the two sides came into contact, Gao Rui, who stayed behind in Xincheng, began to regret. His initial judgment was correct. The group of Sui troops in front of him was indeed a remnant army assembled indiscriminately. It can be seen from the omissions in their formation that these people
It didn't take long for us to fight together.
However, this group of randomly assembled remnants actually burst out with astonishing combat effectiveness. With half the number of their opponents, they actually charged into the Goguryeo phalanx head-on. There were numerous flaws in their formation, but here they
Sometimes, those flaws are like the teeth of a steel file.
With the first filing, a thick layer of the Goguryeo array was removed.
The Goguryeo soldier who was charging forward screamed and fell down. In disbelief, he saw the enemy's horizontal sword being pulled out from his body and stabbing his companions with a bloody light. Then, he heard the screams of his companions and saw
The body of his companion fell next to him, and when he saw a Sui man who looked similar to himself, he laughed and fell into the dust.
The Goguryeo offensive came to an abrupt halt. With a loud collision, the formations of both the enemy and ours instantly changed. The soldiers faced each other and squeezed their opponents with shields, stabbing each other with horizontal knives and spears between the shields and arms.
.Some people kept screaming and falling, but the formations on both sides refused to take a step back. The living people stepped on the corpses of their companions, waving their swords and spears staggeringly, and the injured people cried loudly, but prayed not to be saved.
Come to any mercy.
The soldiers in the front row were all quickly wiped out, but the soldiers in the back row rushed forward desperately. People were pushing and squeezing each other, and blood was flying everywhere!
Taking advantage of the geographical advantage, the Sui army pushed forward hard, trying to push the Goguryeo people down the hillside. The Goguryeo people used their numerical advantage to push forward hard, trying to squeeze the Sui army into a pulp. The stalemate was short but long, and countless lives were saved at this moment.
In the embrace of the earth, countless souls fly high into the sky and look down at their bodies with nostalgia in the wind. There is no hatred, only a deep attachment to life.
The wind is howling, the water is flowing quietly, and the slanting light dyes the woods and mountains with a bright golden red. Under the long sky, among the green grass, war flags like fire are flying and curling.
The Goguryeo people slowly began to retreat. Although their number was nearly three times that of their opponent, the murderous aura erupted from their opponent was more than a hundred times greater than theirs.
The Han people in front of us were like trackers on both sides of the river. Every time they took a step forward, they shouted a neat chant. And that chant was like a magic spell, only two syllables short, but it made countless people's eyes turn red and they risked their lives.
.
Gao Rui could understand those two Chinese characters. Although they were coming against the wind, these two words made him shudder.
"Go home!" An unknown soldier in the front row shouted, brandishing a knife, and squeezed into the middle of several Goguryeo soldiers. The swords and spears stabbed from all directions soon made him bleed profusely. After the blood flowed out, his strength
Before using it up, he made at least three Goguryeo people lose their combat effectiveness.
"Go home!" A soldier who fell to the ground shouted hoarsely, rolled down the mountain, and hugged the calf of a Goguryeo man. The two rolled in a pool of blood, fighting, using knives, knees, teeth, everything they could
All offensive weapons were used until both sides died together in the dust.
"Brothers, go back home!" Liu Hongji held a spear in his hand, sweeping it horizontally, smashing it vertically, and stabbing it diagonally, like a mad tiger. The Goguryeo people in front of him were quickly killed and a gap was created, and countless Sui soldiers followed.
He squeezed in through the gap, widening the gap in the enemy's formation.
At this moment, they are not fighting for fame or the emperor, they only want to go home.
Although my home is thousands of miles west of Liao River, it may not be luxurious.
Maybe it was a dilapidated earthen kiln that could barely keep out the wind and rain, or maybe it was a firewood nest built with a few logs and bundles of thatch, but in the vastness of the world, there was no place that was warmer than there.
That's the only place where you can relax. No matter you are a hero or a coward outside, whether you are wearing a brocade robe or naked, it will open a door to you. Those pictures under the oil lamp behind the door
A face that may not be beautiful but is very familiar will welcome you and bring you a bowl of hot rice and a basin of hot water. Then they will quietly listen to you tell the stories that may not be wonderful but are trivial during the journey.
It will tolerate everything about you, even if you have nothing but scars, it will tell you that there is a door that will always be left for you, a light that will always shine for you, and a group of people that will always be proud of you.
.
"Go home!" the soldiers shouted, risking their lives.
Most Goguryeo people couldn't hear what the other party was shouting, but they could feel the enthusiasm in the other party's eyes at this moment. They began to hesitate and retreat, and some soldiers standing at the end of the squashed phalanx began to loosen their steps and retreat. Back
As soon as the crowding force was relieved, the soldiers in the front row who were under tremendous pressure immediately accelerated their retreat. Like the tide hitting the rocks, they retreated faster than they rushed forward, leaving behind broken weapons everywhere.
and corpses.
Less than a quarter of an hour after the war started, Xincheng left behind and had to put his reserve troops into the battlefield. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers serving as flank guards to move closer to the center to prevent the enemy from attacking his own formation. The Sui army's attack was too powerful, and Xincheng
It is difficult for the defender to achieve the expected goal of annihilating the enemy. In this case, he can only shrink his defense and consume the opponent's combat effectiveness based on his numbers.
The Goguryeo army following the Sui people was not far away. Gao Rui was confident that as long as he persisted for one afternoon, he would have hope of victory tomorrow morning.
The investment of two thousand reserve troops and horses failed to save the war situation. The two sides only remained in a stalemate for a very short time, and the Goguryeo people were suppressed again. Part of the pressure came from the enemy, and part of the pressure came from themselves. The biggest
The pressure comes from the spirit, "Go home!" "Go home!" "Go home!" The shouts like landslides and tsunamis are enough to make people feel at a loss.
"Go home!" "Go home!" "Go home!" The voices from the hillside made the cavalry's blood boil. But they could not move. The cavalry of the two regiments were under the command of the cold-blooded young man in front, and the horse standing on the horse
The boy next to the black horse has not made any gestures yet.
Li Xu could feel the anxious gaze behind him. He heard his teeth chattering. The knife in his hand was like crazy, always ready to jump out of its sheath. However, he couldn't move. This was a fatal blow. One blow could determine life or death.
.
In the distance, the enemy's formation has begun to shrink, and the battle is becoming more and more fierce. After the terrain provided by the hillside has been used up by the officers and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, everyone has to pay the price of blood for every inch they move forward. But that blood
The return journey of Rancheng always stretched forward unyieldingly. No matter how many people from Goguryeo rushed forward, they could not stop them in the slightest.
"Go home!" The Sui soldiers roared wildly, charging towards the bullfight with murderous intent. The Goguryeo people's obstruction became weaker and weaker, and some people began to run to both sides of the phalanx, while others began to look back to see if the coach would do it.
The decision to withdraw from the battlefield. This decline made the new city guard Gao Rui anxious, so he had to constantly mobilize soldiers from the flanking guard teams to the front and shrink the formation. At this time, his combat strategy had completely changed from confrontation to contraction.
Defense, but still unable to regain the initiative on the battlefield.
As a last resort, Gao Rui gritted his teeth and mobilized all the defensive troops on the flanks. The Sui army's forward was about to break through his defense line, and he had to take a risk.
At the same time, Xue Shixiong, who was standing on the hillside, personally raised the blood-red banner beside him.
"Brothers, fight your way out!" Xue Shixiong held the banner high and shook it desperately.
"Brothers, go home!" Li Xu suddenly waved his arm down, recognized the stirrup, and mounted the horse.
"Kill--" The six hundred cavalry whose patience reached the limit rushed out of the valley like a torrent, automatically dividing into two spear-like formations during the gallop. One spear penetrated the core of the Goguryeo army formation from the flank, and the other spear turned around and pounced.
Go behind the Goguryeo army.
The Goguryeo soldiers were stunned by the sudden appearance of the enemy army. They did not expect that the enemy coach could be so forbearing, and actually endured it until the last moment before delivering the fatal blow. They smelled the murderous aura brought by the horse's hooves, but they already had it in their hands.
There are no chess pieces available.
They didn't have time to think about the change of formation, and the first "spear" struck quickly. Facing the Goguryeo soldiers who hurriedly turned to fight, the "spear" only delayed slightly, and then, it pierced the weak spot of the Goguryeo army like a torpedo.
The tip of the spear was Liu Wuzhou, and the blades were Yu Wenzhong and Yu Wenji. Wang Yuantong, Qi Po Ning, Yu Wenshi and three people with a large team formed a thick and long spear handle. The spears entered the formation, and the Goguryeo team immediately
Being disturbed, the general Gao Rui waved the battle flag desperately and mobilized people to seal the gap. However, he could only watch helplessly as an iron thorn bone crisscrossed his phalanx. Under the dual pressure of the front and flanks, in the blink of an eye,
, the phalanx is in danger of collapse.
The caltrop bones used by Liu Wuzhou were handed over to him personally by General Wang Rengong during the Battle of Liaoshui. On that day, the remaining troops of the Zuowu Guard, led by General Wang Rengong, lined up and charged into battle. With the help of half-guard troops, the Goguryeo generals
Tens of thousands of troops were forced to retreat continuously. That day, the entire both sides of the Liao River remembered the majestic battle flag of Zuowu Wei.
Today, Zuo Wuwei no longer exists. General Wang Rengong did not know where he went. Paoze, who lived and died together, was camped by the water of Mazhai. All Liu Wuzhou could find were these few people around him. But these few
Although I am an individual, I will never lose the reputation that the old General Mai Tiezhang and General Wang Rengong have forged with their blood.
"Zuo Wuwei!" Liu Wuzhou shouted, waving the caltrop bones and smashing a Goguryeo general who was coming towards him to pieces.
"Kill!" Several veterans roared, and their horses' hooves trampled over the corpses of the enemy generals, creating a bloody alley among the crowd. Several groups of Goguryeo people wearing soldiers' uniforms came from both sides, trying to cut off Liu Wuzhou and others.
, but were blocked on both sides by Wang Yuantong and Qi Poning with their cavalry.
"Kill them all, let's go home!" Wang Yuantong shouted, and a long spear danced with a whirring sound. His technique of using the spear was still unfamiliar, but he could only attack but not defend. The two former grain protection army warriors beside him were holding crossbows.
The sword was used to protect Wang Canjun's waist and ribs, only to defend but not to attack.
The three of them moved forward bravely, using their swords to cut their way home.
Home is an inch of land, and no matter where you go, you can never leave it.
Home is a ray of light. No matter whether the mountain collapses in front of you or you are surrounded by tigers and wolves, you always straighten your fragile back and bravely protect the light.
They want to go home. On this road, people block people and kill people, and Buddha blocks*.
Under the powerful offensive of the Sui army, the Goguryeo soldiers fled in all directions. They really couldn't hold on any longer. The Sui soldiers who came across from them were not human beings. They were a group of elephants, a group of elephants who were attached to the vegetation of their hometown. No matter who killed them
The end of the road will inevitably be broken into pieces.
"Push it up, push it up!" Gao Rui heard his own voice sounding like crying. He couldn't help but cry. The iron caltrop bones on the side were already less than twenty feet away from his big banner, but the soldiers in front ran back holding their heads.
, ran past him, and kept heading east without looking back.
To the northeast, a plume of smoke was rolling in at high speed, leaving only corpses wherever the smoke swept.
The roars, the neighing of horses, the screams of the dead, and the cries of the desperate all struck Gao Rui's heart like a whip. Suddenly, he stopped shouting wildly, picked up his long spear, and rushed towards the caltrop bones.
At that moment, Gao Rui heard silence all around. He knew that he would die in battle, but he would die together with Caltrop Guduo. The nearby soldiers gave way to a road and watched their generals duel with the enemy generals. At this moment
, a gust of wind suddenly blew from the oblique stab, Gao Rui instinctively turned his head, and then he saw a long arrow growing out of his neck. In the smoke, a young man withdrew his bow and raised his sword, and the horse's hoof passed by,
A sheet of blood rolled up.
"Poof!" Liu Wuzhou waved his arm and swept Gao Rui's body off his mount. Immediately afterwards, he picked up the caltrop bones and smashed the Goguryeo flag with a hammer.
"Go home!" the cavalry shouted loudly, galloping back and forth among the Goguryeo people. Every time they went back and forth, they stepped on heavy blood mist. On the edge of the blood mist, the Goguryeo people hid like a flock of sheep, and there was no need to worry about it.
Unable to think of resistance, countless people jumped into the Xiaoliao River in a panic. They were swept up by the waves and drifted to the southwest, screaming.
The Sui army rushing forward chased the Goguryeo people from behind and chopped them down. They jumped over their corpses, then chased the next target, chopped them down, jumped over them, and never left...
The setting sun couldn't bear to look at this tragic scene, and quietly hid his head behind the clouds. The blood-like flowing clouds instantly dyed the sky red with blood for a long time, and the whole world was red with blood for a long time, forming a big blood-colored river.
A blood-red war flag was planted on the bank of the river. The old general Xue Shixiong held the flag in one hand and a sword in the other, his beard and hair flying.
Some people helped their injured companions, and some people picked up the dying Pao Ze among the corpses. Under the banner of the war, people slowly began to gather, gather, and gather into a blood-red military formation.
"Brothers, let's go home!" Xue Shixiong waved his hand and led all the surviving brothers to stride westward along the river.
The blood-red river water is rushing. (To be continued)
