The first thousand one hundred and thirty-eight chapters a great victory
Most of Wang Junlin's army had also lost its formation during the pursuit and attack. Once the army lost its camp and wanted to regroup and reorganize, it would be almost impossible for a while.
As a result, the battlefield was completely out of control at this time, but the rebel soldiers on Wang Junlin's side were taking advantage of the victory to pursue them crazily, while the Goguryeo soldiers were running around. The situation could not be reversed.
Bow strings and fast crossbows were crackling, and Yuchi Jingde led his light cavalry in pursuit as fast as possible. While chasing, they shot at the moving Goguryeo deserters. However, they ran very fast on the battlefield, leaving the infantry far behind.
The yellow dust that filled the wilderness of the Blackwater Grand Canyon was like a blazing flame, and countless running infantry seemed to be flying in the fire. No one on the battlefield knew who was from which group of troops, and they were all running around. Only the general was left.
Guardsmen, no one can command the current army.
The ground was full of dead or wounded officers and soldiers of the Goguryeo army, and the cavalry trampled over the corpses and wounded soldiers mercilessly. The contact area on the battlefield was limited, and until now, Luo Chunlai, the second echelon of the infantry on Wang Junlin's side, was actually one of the five soldiers.
The officers and soldiers of the Thousand Marine Division had not yet killed one, so they had to follow and run away. So these five thousand officers and soldiers of the Marine Division now became the main force in the pursuit, scrambling to catch up and kill a few people, so as to gain more military merit.
In short, the large number of infantry and cavalry on Wang Junlin's side seemed to have turned into waves and surged forward.
At this moment, suddenly a large group of people knelt down in the smoke and dust opposite, and many people around him also knelt down one after another. It was as if a god had dropped a stone in the middle, and ripples like waves spread rapidly around.
"I surrender……"
"Surrender………"
"Spare your life..."
Earth-shattering shouts in Goguryeo rang out chaotically among the enemy soldiers in a large area. Countless people knelt in the wilderness. Thousands of Goguryeo soldiers who could not escape in the end surrendered. But there were also some who escaped quickly and thought they
If you can escape, you can run towards the road you came from or into the mountain roads on both sides.
But the next moment, a series of explosions scared these people back from the mountain roads on both sides.
The special forces team, which had never been seen, under the leadership of Zhang Tiangang, laid mines at the entrance of the mountain road on both sides where the Goguryeo soldiers might escape.
Some of the defeated soldiers who retreated from the mountain road chose to surrender, and some chose not to take the mountain road, but chose to directly climb the mountain and cross the ditch to escape. As for following the way they came, there was no one, because everyone already knew that the way they came had been bombed.
When Wang Junlin saw this, he said: "I ordered Guan Xiaotong and Lu Han to drive and gather the surrendered troops. Yuchi Jingde led his people to chase Li Guangsheng, and Luo Chunlai led his subordinates to chase and kill the escaped soldiers."
Li Guangsheng led hundreds of soldiers and ran along the hillside along the mountain road, into the vast mountains, and soon disappeared from sight.

The corpses of Goguryeo soldiers are scattered in the Blackwater Grand Canyon. To the northeast is a group of prisoners squatting densely, with some Wangjunlin infantry guarding them. In the hills farther away, there are some scattered fighting and screams from behind the mountains.
.
Wang Junlin rode a blood-maned horse, surrounded by a group of people, and walked in the Grand Canyon. The first thing that caught his eye was nearly 3,000 war horses. These war horses were now very tired and stopped running around.
Beside the war horses, more than five thousand Goguryeo reinforcements were guarded by Wang Junlin's infantry. They sat down on the ground with their heads down and their eyes dull. All their weapons and armor had been disarmed, and they were kneeling on the ground. Most of them had numb faces or bleak expressions.
despair.
Not far away, Jin Sanhu, Jin Xiaowu, Cui Hongguang and other former Goguryeo surrendered generals went in and out among the prisoners and selected more than 300 prisoners.
Shen Guoer took more than 300 people aside and examined them one by one. He handed them weapons and armor, gave them each a war horse, gave them dry food, water and fodder, and asked them to sit down where they were. rest.
While carefully watching the changes in the faces of more than 300 people, Wang Junlin asked: "Have Li Guangsheng been caught?"
Shen Guoer replied: "Not yet, he fled into the mountains to the south, where there are high mountains and many ravines, and it is getting dark now. General Yuchi is not familiar with the terrain, so he is afraid that it will be difficult to find him, but Zhang Tiangang just sent someone here According to the report, he has already led the special forces to chase him. With the strength of the special forces, they will surely be able to capture Li Guangsheng."
Wang Junlin nodded, glanced at the already dusk sky, and said to the soldiers on the left and right: "It's getting dark soon. Send the order to camp on the same spot at night. Prioritize the placement of the wounded soldiers, and then deploy defenses and send out alerts as soon as possible. "
There were soldiers on the left and right to receive the order and go to convey the order to the various troops. Wang Junlin turned to Jin Sanhu and said: "General Jin Shen, please call the few people you just mentioned and persuade them to surrender first. If they agree, then bring them with you." Come to see me, and then let them select from the prisoners soldiers who are willing to surrender immediately. Some other die-hard elements will be selected and killed directly to avoid confusing the hearts of the prisoners. Guoer, you can bring some people to cooperate with General Jin Shen."
Jin Sanhu respectfully said yes, and then, accompanied by Shen Guoer, led a group of soldiers towards the prisoners.
Wang Junlin and his men continued to walk forward. The further they walked, the denser the corpses became. Finally, they arrived at the place where the fiercest fighting began. There were layers of corpses, weapons, and flags stacked on top of each other, surrounded by crossbows, arrows, and crossbows. Guns, and some earthen pits exploded by gunpowder packets. After absorbing a large amount of blood, the ground turned into a deep black with a reddish tint, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
More than ten steps away from here, there are rows of neatly arranged corpses of Wang Junlin's soldiers. Behind them are thousands of wounded of various kinds. The field hospital temporarily built with four cowhide tents is in full swing, with wounded people constantly arriving. They were carried in for treatment. Some of the seriously injured people screamed in agony from time to time, and some of the seriously injured people died one after another. They were carried out and placed next to other corpses.
Wang Junlin stared at the scene in front of him without saying a word for a long time. Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong beside him also kept sighing. Today's battle was considered a great victory, but it also resulted in more than a thousand casualties, nearly a hundred serious injuries, and minor injuries. More than three hundred people.
The sun in the distance was slowly setting. The sunlight was no longer dazzling, but turned into a warm and dim color, gently shining on the row of corpses. Wang Junlin was a little distracted, and the kid in charge next to him couldn't help but said: "It's still an adult. The command is proper and the troops are used like gods. Otherwise, if you had not chosen this perfect place to plan the ambush, how could we have achieved such a great victory? Our army would definitely have suffered more casualties."
Wang Junlin sighed with emotion, nodded and was about to speak, when a burst of cheers suddenly sounded at the entrance of a mountain pass in the south. Everyone looked at each other. After a while, Zhang Tiangang of the special team led a team of people to escort a man tied up with five flowers and walked out of the mountain path. He came out and walked towards him. The tied man seemed to be unconscious, so he was held up by two special forces soldiers.
