Yuchi Jingde himself is a top master in the Po Gong period, especially good at horse fighting, and has supernatural power. In addition, he uses all his strength to rush into the enemy's formation with himself as the tip of the knife. It is really like a sharp knife thrust into the enemy's formation.
He was so sharp that no one could block his attack.
In addition, due to geographical restrictions, the thickness of the three thousand cavalrymen responsible for the two wings of Goguryeo was not as thick as it seemed. After half a stick of incense, Yuchi Jingde forced his way in.
Although there were only nearly 400 cavalrymen left under his command at this time, and he himself was slightly injured. However, he succeeded after all, and they killed more than 300 Goguryeo cavalry along the way.
It was just that Yuchi Jingde was shouting all the way and was extremely brave, causing such a big commotion. How could the infantry of the Goguryeo army he faced be unprepared? They had already formed a hedgehog formation, which is commonly used by infantry against cavalry.
These Goguryeo infantrymen protruded their long weapons densely, and the rear row of spears protruded from the world. The front of the phalanx was densely packed like hedgehogs. However, compared to Wang Junlin's special spears and the neatness of the special battle formation, the Goguryeo army was impeccable.
There are still quite a few gaps between people in the Hedgehog Formation.
Yuchi Jingde's eyes were so vicious that without saying a word, he led his men to rush towards the empty space in the middle of the opponent's hedgehog formation. The iron horse with the harness in front penetrated diagonally and went straight to the flank with the largest gap in front of the square formation.
With a "hoo" sound, the iron whip in Yuchi Jingde's hand was released, and a Goguryeo soldier holding a spear in front screamed. The heavy iron whip, which borrowed the speed of the war horse, hit his chest, and the man was knocked backwards by the momentum.
He knocked over four or five Goguryeo soldiers in a row.
And among the lightning and flint, Yuchi Jingde had already rushed into the formation, and the long saber on his back had been unsheathed. The back of the saber was not sharpened. Yuchi Jingde skillfully held the blade of the saber with his left hand and turned it sideways.
, there was only a "click" sound, a head tilted, and blood spurted out like spring water.
Yuchi Jingde's cavalry followed closely behind, rushing from the left and right, stabbing, slashing and trampling wildly in an instant. The hedgehog formation immediately wavered, Shao Qing collapsed, and countless Goguryeo infantry rushed back.
"Yuchi Jingde broke through the Goguryeo cavalry defense line and charged into their infantry formation!" Shen Guoer put down his binoculars on the command platform in Aishan and said to Wang Junlin, who was looking at the frontline battlefield with a slight frown.
Wang Junlin turned around and saw that the area where the infantrymen in the middle of the Goguryeo army was indeed in chaos.
Under normal circumstances, if Yuchi Jingde charged into the infantry with 500 cavalry, the chaos that could be caused would be extremely limited, and even 500 of them would be quickly surrounded and killed.
But at this time, the second organization of troops on the front line was fatal to the Goguryeo infantry who were fighting with Wang Junlin's terrifying infantry and spear phalanx. This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Even if the chaos in the rear was
The small chaos at this time would inevitably affect the morale of the Goguryeo soldiers on the front line, who were already on the verge of collapse and were fighting desperately with fear.
The second retreat of the Goguryeo soldiers began again and was out of control.
Yuchi Jingde knew that there were only more than a hundred cavalry left under his command. If it were not for his personal bravery, all of them would have been killed several times. Yuchi Jingde had so much experience in horse fighting that he knew that if this was the case, he would never be able to do anything.
He couldn't stop. Once he stopped, no matter how powerful he was in a personal battle, he wouldn't be able to hold on for a few breaths before he was surrounded and killed by the insurrectionary soldiers.
Therefore, no matter how many people were behind him, even if there was no one, Yuchi Jingde would not stop at all, and would just rush towards all the Goguryeo soldiers who were not in military formations as far as he could see.
During this process, other cavalrymen under Yuchi Jingde continued to engage in melee with the Goguryeo cavalry on the outer flanks. Moreover, after Yuchi Jingde led 500 cavalrymen to directly penetrate the outer two layers of Goguryeo reinforcement cavalry, the Goguryeo people immediately blocked the opening.
Fortunately, the defeat of the frontal infantry and cavalry quickly affected the peripheral cavalry on both sides, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable for the Goguryeo army.
Yuchi Jingde had a murderous look on his face and a murderous intent. He would kill anyone who appeared in front of him. Suddenly, a Goguryeo general opposite him shouted: "Don't let the dog thieves be so rampant!" He came up to fight with a spear in his hand. It was none other than Yuchi who saw him.
Jingde disrupted the rear of the infantry, and in a panic, a Goguryeo lieutenant general came in person.
"The mantis' arm is like a chariot!" Yuchi Jingde cursed and rode up. When the horses were sprinting and crossing each other, he waved his weapon and struck the head with a sword. There was a loud "clang" and the opponent's spear was cut off by his huge force.
The lieutenant tilted his body to the side, clamped the horse's back with his legs to avoid Yuchi Jingde's subsequent chop, and the horse ran to the side.
The cavalry beside the Goguryeo lieutenant general came up to block him after a moment. Yuchi Jingde's horse rushed over, "Bore!" Sparks were seen flying, and a cavalry company with weapons and men was knocked off their horses. He ran a few steps forward and waved his hand.
Another person was beheaded and dismounted.
But at this time, the cavalry brought by the Goguryeo lieutenant came up on the left and right wings.
Yuchi Jingde was impatient and was waiting to take advantage of the victory to break out of the enemy's encirclement. However, he was blocked by several cavalry who rushed forward, so he had to fight.
"Damn it, I'm trapped, I'm probably going to die here." Yuchi Jingde cursed in his heart. At this time, there were less than a hundred subordinates around him.

Above the battle formation, dust hung in the air, sweeping and circling in the wind like dark clouds. Waves of iron cavalry surged in the vast sea of people, like floods flowing in all directions.
The two armies were facing each other on the front line. The Goguryeo army was in retreat. The infantry and cavalry were all in chaos, as chaotic as a busy city. Wang Junlin had his first experience with the infantry phalanx. No one dared to leave the entire line.
The battle line rushed forward, always pushing forward with a front-line spear battle formation. The spears in the first row killed people, and the crossbows in the back shot people. Goguryeo soldiers fell in large pieces like wheat, and a high-erected flag slowly fell down. Soon
The rout of the front line spread to the center, continuing to the rear and even to the Goguryeo cavalry on both sides.
When there were less than 70 cavalrymen around Yuchi Jingde, Yuchi Jingde thought that he was certain to die. As a result, the Goguryeo cavalry who surrounded him at some time and the infantry became fewer and fewer, and they ran backwards and to both sides in confusion, while on both sides he
The main force of the cavalry under his command had already taken advantage of the chaos to rush into the fleeing Goguryeo reinforcements and gathered with him.
The addition of his cavalry caused the complete collapse of Goguryeo's reinforcements. All of Wang Junlin's infantry and cavalry chased and killed the rebels.
Yuchi Jingde was almost exhausted at this time. After a moment's pause, he saw Li Guangsheng's commanding flag from a distance. Escorted by hundreds of cavalry and thousands of infantry, he fought and retreated, trying to escape to a mountain road on one side.
"I want to chop off the head of the Goguryeo general!" Yuchi Jingde didn't think much. He picked up the machete and chased Li Guangsheng's handsome flag first.
What he saw was more than a thousand cavalry under his command besieging an infantry phalanx protecting Li Guangsheng. Arrows were flying in the air and spears were like a forest.
Yuchi Jingde rushed over and led his men to ride and shoot around the phalanx. The Goguryeo infantry was besieged by the cavalry. The archers did not dare to step forward and only shot randomly into the air in the formation.
The front was full of dense spearmen. Yuchi Jingde led his light cavalry to shoot back and forth. When he saw that there were gaps in the formation due to being shot at, he rushed up to try to break the formation.
He roared from a distance, took an iron gun he picked up on the road, and his true energy burst out from his Dantian. He threw the iron gun at the charge of his horse, and inserted the iron gun with a "clang" sound as fast as lightning.
Four people were killed, and a gap was opened. His war horse was like the wind, following the iron spear, and before the gap could be closed, he rushed in. Suddenly, his saber was condescending and harvesting straw at high speed. His subordinates counted from left to right.
Hundreds of cavalry also opened the gap, and other light cavalry under their command took the opportunity to rush in, stabbing, slashing and trampling wildly.
The infantry phalanx was in chaos. When the infantry saw the heavy horses crushing into the center of the formation like boulders, few of them dared to stand in front. They all evaded and evaded, further tearing apart and shaking the camp.
Yuchi Jingde turned to the right, waiting for the horse to rush closer, and struck a soldier on the back of the head with his sword. With a "clang" sound, the soldier screamed and fell forward. A moment later, the heavy heavy horse's palm on the right side was straight.
Stepping on the soldier's back, the sound of bones breaking and flesh deforming made one's scalp numb.
The crowd in front collapsed and fled in all directions.
Yuchi Jingde looked at Li Guangsheng who was escaping to a mountain road under the protection of hundreds of cavalry, roared, dismounted from his horse and shot out.

Wang Junlin stood on the command platform on a low mountain. Even with a telescope, he could no longer see clearly the specific situation in the enemy camp and what was going on.
Because by this time of the battle, the dust brought up by the galloping cavalry was already flying all over the sky, and he could see a yellow smoke rising from a distance, but he knew that Yuchi Jingde's three thousand cavalry had broken through the Goguryeo cavalry defense line from the left and right wings, and Yuchi Jingde's even more
Risking his own life, he led his men to tear the Goguryeo army's camp to pieces on a large scale.
In this battle, the combat power and resilience of Goguryeo's reinforcements were slightly stronger than what Wang Junlin had expected, but overall the plan was progressing relatively smoothly. Wang Junlin knew that the cavalry was fine, and the infantry could no longer just maintain the square formation.
Otherwise, he would be unable to catch up, so he shouted: "With the sound of drums and trumpets, the whole army is free to pursue."
The row of trumpeters beside him pumped up their cheeks, and the whimpering and vigorous trumpets sounded, and all the drums behind him beat "dong dong dong". The sound of the drums was like an accelerating accompaniment, and the roaring of horse hooves matched it. On the frontal front
More than 10,000 infantrymen, who had already worked up their energy, swarmed forward under the leadership of Lu Han and Yuchi Jingde and began to freely pursue the Goguryeo army.
At this time, the defeat of the Goguryeo army was already difficult to reverse, but there was no need to worry about the Goguryeo army taking advantage of its large numbers to counterattack.
Under such circumstances, it is normal for a hundred Wang Junlin infantry to chase a thousand Goguryeo troops.
This is what is meant by the saying "a defeat is like a mountain falling".
