Moreover, the defeat of the Goguryeo people continued to spread. After the 10,000 people behind were defeated in one blow, Xu Rong did not even dismount, but handed over the camp and prisoners of war to the infantry behind him, and then ordered all the cavalry to break through the camp.
Then he passed by and attacked the large group of Goguryeo troops who were retreating.
As for the tens of thousands of Goguryeo people on the way to retreat, there is no need to think too much. Without fortifications, it is difficult to organize troops to counterattack, unable to supply and rest, but they have to suffer casualties... Throughout the ages, great retreats have evolved into great defeats.
There are so many, not least this time, not to mention that this is a highly mobile cavalry chasing infantry!
It is not that the Goguryeo people have never tried to resist. At the beginning, they tried to gather into a battle formation to block the attack at the call of some nobles. However, they were completely devastated by a large-scale oncoming Han cavalry attack.
;
Then in the evening, they could not bury the pot to make rice;
Finally, at night, they could not find a safe and warm place to rest!
Tired, hungry, cold, and people kept dying... Therefore, even if the Han army only launched a large-scale raid when they took over the battle for the first time, the retreat of the Goguryeo people evolved naturally after just one night.
A standard great escape.
Gradually, starting from the rear army who were in direct contact with the Han army, some Goguryeo soldiers from the countryside, knowing how terrifying the Qianshan Mountains in winter were, still relied on their experience in hunting in the wild, in small groups.
With the bow and arrow on his body, he went into the mountains and forests on both sides of the road without hesitation;
There are also some soldiers and officers who are obviously Chinese. They know that returning to their hometown city is the only hope, so they gather their people one after another, and then directly break away from the large army and turn in through various mountain and forest roads;
At this time, the nobles no longer had the calmness of the past. Many of them took advantage of the fact that they still had mounts and knew some geographical knowledge, so they took their slaves, gave up commanding the army, and then directly
Escape beyond the marching order!
In other words, under the pursuit of the Han cavalry and under the threat of death, the army as a whole in the past is slowly turning into a bunch of scattered small groups or even individuals from back to front! This kind of deconstruction is like
It is like a plague, and once it is infected, the entire army will have no fighting capacity at all... Think about it, when the concept of collective disappears, everyone is just trying to survive for themselves, how can anyone sacrifice for others?
In fact, this structure caused huge damage to the Goguryeo troops, even far more than the damage caused by the Han cavalry... Sometimes it was for a bag of corn, sometimes it was for a mule, and sometimes it was just for the sake of thinking.
If you seize an intersection and go first, the comrades who fought side by side in the past will pull out their knives, reveal their bows and crossbows, and start an inexplicable battle in front of the Han army who deliberately paused behind them!
At the same time, the chasing Han army maintained great organization and discipline. The next morning, Tadun even caught three Xianbei soldiers trying to rape a Goguryeo woman accompanying the army on the way.
Cavalry, and then personally explain the canonical punishment!
It’s not that Taton respects women, or that Gongsun Xun has any orders to build a civilized army... In fact, no matter how outstanding the record is, it can’t hide the fact that this army is a miscellaneous army. In all likelihood, that woman is also a prostitute.
Color... But when it comes to this, even these Hu Cavalrymen have already understood that as long as the last rope is tightened, they can absolutely completely destroy this huge army in front of them, and once it is destroyed
This is the largest armed force of the Goguryeo people, and the entire rich hinterland of Goguryeo will be at their mercy!
But at this time, these three soldiers did not continue to persecute the Goguryeo people, but instead used their energy to do such ridiculous things. What if it caused imitation, caused the army to lose control, and finally allowed the Goguryeo people to escape in an organized manner?!
Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?!
"Xu Sima has an order!" Seeing that Taodun had finished killing everyone, the messenger with a white feather on his head rode over the pool of blood. "The general attack will be changed to today's afternoon. At that time, the entire army will let go of their hands and feet to disperse the enemy."
We can see all the large-scale Goguryeo people, kill all those who block the road and resist, and chase the opponent's commander flag all the way to the end. Sima please Tatontou people not to miss anything!"
"I understand." I don't know whether it's because he only slept for two hours at night or because he just killed someone, but Tadun's eyes were all red and bloodshot. "Please report back to Xu Sima. When the time comes, my Wuhuan Cavalry will
It must be like a pack of wolves tearing apart its prey, completely killing the Goguryeo people!"
The messenger nodded slightly, turned around and left.
"Hold on." Tuodun suddenly remembered something. "Xu Sima Ke said why he wanted to attack in advance. Didn't he say that he had to wait until early tomorrow morning?"
"The general is coming!" The messenger, who was obviously an official member of the Han army, didn't hide anything. He turned around and explained. "It is said that the prefect of our Xuantu County and the nobles in Liaodong already know it.
We won a great victory, so we sent a large number of men to sit on the plain, and the general personally mobilized the remaining troops to overwhelm us... My Sima said that he didn't want to wait for the general to catch up and still see the Goguryeo people holding their ridiculous weapons.
Golden Frog Flag.”
Tadun nodded immediately, expressing understanding and approval.
"We can't go on like this!" At the same moment, under the ridiculous golden frog flag, the short stature of Ming Lindafu choked his pony and changed to a slow pace.
Action. "If my guess is correct, tomorrow, tomorrow at the latest, the Han army will take action as long as it consumes us for one more night. If we are not prepared by then, the entire army will really be annihilated..."
"How to prepare?" A middle-aged noble next to him asked angrily. "How to prepare for this situation now? The whole army is out of control, no one dares to stop, even if you tomorrow, you will not be able to control the army!"
"I know." Ming Lin answered breathlessly. "In fact, by now, the whole army has been frightened and has not slept all night. The whole army has no fighting capacity. Therefore, the army is completely defeated. It is already hiding."
It won’t fall, and I didn’t say I would organize a defense here…”
The surrounding Goguryeo nobles all looked at Mo Lizhi, who used to be the most powerful person in the country, as if they had tasted something from his mouth.
"What does Mo Lizhi mean...?" Someone couldn't help but lowered his head and asked.
"It's just what you think." Ming Lindafu wiped the sweat from his white hair and said. "Now there is no reason for this, so we should leave the main force and rush to He first.
Shenggu City... This is not to escape, but to say that only by getting there in advance can we gather the defeated troops as much as possible, and then rely on the city to stop the Han offensive! If we stay here, we will only lose our lives in vain!"
The surrounding nobles had different reactions, but most of them remained silent, as if no one was willing to die in vain here.
"Someone has to stay behind Mo Lizhi's banner." I don't know who suddenly shouted. "We have to change our clothes, otherwise we will be trampled to death by our own people without the Han people catching up..."
"It's easy to change clothes. We all have our own elite private soldiers. We just need to find a place to change our clothes. The key is to keep people, keep real nobles to support the scene...Whoever leaves, who stays?!"
"Every clan with more than two members per surname must leave one person to protect the flag!" Ming Lin replied through gritted teeth. "My nephew has been dealt with by military law, but he still has a son by his side!"
The second son who was standing next to his husband suddenly turned pale.
"I'm not asking you to die." Ming Lin Dafu explained helplessly. "When the fight breaks out, you can throw away the flag and run away. The key is to let us important ministers go back and be prepared first, so that the country can have hope!"
The surroundings immediately fell silent, but Ming Lin Da Fu just did what he said and took the lead directly into a forest beside the road. After a while, he took the lead and put on a set of dirty leather robes.
.
"Mo Lizhi looks like a real old slave when he wears these clothes," someone couldn't help but sarcastically said. "The Han people will definitely not recognize him."
Ming Lindafu, a short man with white hair and beard, lowered his head and dragged his pony away from the woods without saying a word. It was as if he didn't hear anything. The people around him made some unintelligible noises, but they all changed their minds after all.
outfit, and then officially parted with the trimmed golden frog banner!
However, just when the real leader of this army was trying to hide his name from the public and disappear, he suddenly remembered an extremely angry shout behind him:
"Mo Lizhi is a coward, he is going to abandon us and run away!"
Following these words, the tall warrior in charge of holding the golden frog flag openly threw the flag representing Mo Lizhi's authority to the ground, and then dived into the nearby forest.
A group of Goguryeo's top nobles wearing dirty robes and a large group of elite Goguryeo warriors around them were almost stunned for a moment, and then they didn't chase this person, and no one went to hold up the fatal flag, but they all agreed in unison
The choice was to turn around and run away!
Among them, Minglin Dafu is the fastest!
At this time, it was less than a full day since the Han army attacked yesterday... To be honest, it would be understandable if the Goguryeo people's retreat yesterday turned into a rout. Now, after spending the night, the Han army did not even have time to launch a fatal attack.
After a blow, they went from defeat to the collapse of the entire army in an inexplicable way, which is a bit unexpected!
Of course, the Han army was aware of this immediately, and Xu Rong also made a prompt decision and changed the time of the general attack for the second time. The entire army of more than 7,000 cavalry was immediately divided into three sections, and then the assault was carried out in batches along the wide passage.
and massacre!
At this moment, tens of thousands of Goguryeo people completely collapsed. They fled along the passage, flags were thrown down, food was abandoned, and some people even took off their precious iron armor just to be able to run faster than their comrades!
And soon, in this chaos, the Han cavalry, who were red-eyed, no longer skimped on horsepower, no longer cared about the battle formation, and just instinctively chased and killed all the living people in front of them along the road.
, but almost all the Goguryeo people did not dare to resist again... Overnight, the orderly army turned into lambs for slaughter.
In this way, from morning to night, they killed countless people. By night, the Han army had broken through almost all the defeated Goguryeo troops, and then they gathered together to rest after being exhausted. At this time, many people discovered that their sabers and spears were actually
There are already gaps and defects.
But at this time, their enemy, that is, the Goguryeo army that was sitting in the original camp a few days ago as if it was blocking the sky and the sun, has been completely wiped out...
He drew his sword and looked around, feeling confused.
Xu Rong knew very well that his troops could not kill all the tens of thousands of people. There must be a sufficient number of Goguryeo people nearby. However, he could only stop here because Xu Bojin did not know about those defeated troops.
Where are they? How many groups are there? Even the defeated troops probably don't know where they are... In this case, how can we continue to fulfill Gongsun Xun's order to 'kill them all' before setting off?
For a moment, Xu Rong was also a little dazed and confused.
…………
"Don't panic!"
Twenty miles away from Xu Rong, at the foot of a hillside somewhere in the east, Ming Lin Dafu was comforting the noble warriors around him with red eyes... Thanks to the speed of the livestock under his crotch and the time that countless defeated Goguryeo soldiers behind him had sacrificed their lives for, Dafu
Some nobles in the Chinese army still escaped. "The Han army must have been exhausted after chasing it all night. They must have rested by now. And further ahead is the hinterland of our country. The roads are crisscrossed. It is not like before.
We can chase them down one way... We can rest assured and rest for a night before setting off again."
The surrounding noble warriors all had dull expressions. Many of them just raised their heads and glanced at such words, but did not react at all.
"We have to go to Heshenggu City." Mr. Ming Lindafu, who was wearing a dirty leather robe, continued to persuade him earnestly. His beard was also covered with dust and grease at this time. "The only way we can close up now is to rely on Heshenggu City.
Soldier……"
"Where did the soldiers come from?!" Someone directly smashed a frozen and hard cowhide water bag, and it hit Ming Lin Dafu's eyebrow, which caused the latter, who had not been injured at all, to bleed immediately. "Guo Guo.
All the soldiers in the army have been defeated by you!"
"Don't call them soldiers," someone else sneered. "All the men in the country will be wiped out by our Mo Lizhi..."
However, at this point, the originally sarcastic laughter turned into tears involuntarily. Then, under the moonlight, on the side of the hillside, a group of nobles cried together regardless of the cold and hunger.
"Please don't cry!" Upon seeing this, Ming Lin's father-in-law knelt down and begged, regardless of the blood on his face. "I'm afraid Kelu and Zhengliu are both gone. In this case, I will naturally bear the responsibility. But
Now that the country is in crisis, it is not the time to care about these things... Think about it carefully, if you can stop the Han people at Heshenggu City before the Hun River thaws in spring, then Goguryeo will still be there, you will all still be nobles, and we will still have
Five cities with a population of hundreds of thousands can be relied on; but if they cannot be stopped and the Han people break through the Hun River and approach the capital city, then Goguryeo will really fall. Aren't you afraid of turning from nobles to slaves by then?
?!"
"So we still want to go to Heshenggu City?" someone asked with a cry.
"That's right!" Mr. Ming Linda quickly kowtowed and begged. "Everyone listen to me and come with me to Heshenggu City. When we get there, we will collect the defeated troops and immediately summon the strength of our respective families. If we can
There is still time, and considering the dangers of Heshenggu City, it may not be impossible to hold on until spring."
The answer to the old days of Goguryeo was silence.
But after a long time, someone finally stood up, which made Ming Lin Da Fu, who was kneeling on the ground waiting, overjoyed... In his opinion, it would be easy as long as someone took the lead.
"I'm going to the capital at the foot of Ji'an Mountain." Unexpectedly, Ming Lin Dafu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave as soon as he opened his mouth. "Molizhi is just Molizhi after all. At this time, we should rely on our own king! Everyone.
, there are not only the last remaining soldiers and horses in the capital, but also a large number of noble family members. We go to the capital to invite the king out, and then contribute our own private soldiers and slaves. Then relying on the majesty of the capital, we will definitely be able to stop him.
We can live with the Han people!"
"That's right!"
"We have a king!"
"Gong Kelu is dead, and Gong Liu is probably dead too. Mo Lizhi is simply a national thief who ruined the fate of the country... It is better to follow him than to follow the king!"
"I'll follow you!"
The nobles seemed to have found a life-saving rope, and they all became inexplicably excited. Ming Lindafu, who was kneeling beside him, wanted to open his mouth many times, but was finally speechless.
…
"I have made up my mind!" At the same moment, as an outstanding border guard officer, Xu Rong also changed his strategic goal simply and quickly after obtaining certain information through prisoners. "Since the enemy troops have been completely destroyed, then
We should move forward bravely, take advantage of the emptiness ahead, and go straight to Heshenggu City! With Heshenggu City under our control, and the Hunjiang River within our control, the capital of the Goguryeo people will naturally become a target of our army, and there is no chance for it.
Word."
