Gao Jianwu also knew very well in his heart at this time that most of the archers on those warships were also recruits, and they might even be hard-pulled out from the people to make up the numbers. If these people were left on land, I am afraid that the Goryeo army would be able to solve them by sending a random force to charge. But now they are all on the boat in the river, and they can't fight at all.

"Marshal, why don't you tell General Yuan to move his troops closer to the Chinese army and stay away from the river bank, so that the trebuchets of the enemy's warships will not be able to shoot?" Eozid proposed.

"But it's easy to mess up our Chinese army!" Gao Jianwu said worriedly.

"Marshal, but that's all we can do now. Otherwise, after the collapse of the left flank, the enemy will go around behind us, and then our large battalion, the grain and grass storage grounds, the middle army, and the back of the right flank will be attacked. Etozhide said helplessly.

"Okay...... The left flank was ordered to move closer to the central army and stay away from the banks of the Liao River! After thinking for a moment, Gao Jianwu had no choice but to order.

"Now everyone is moving closer to the Chinese army! Stay away from the riverbank! After receiving Gao Jianwu's order, Yuan Zuo hurriedly sent an order to the Goryeo troops on the left flank.

The Goryeo left wing cavalry, which was overwhelmed by the stones and arrows from the Sui ships, immediately turned around and ran to the center.

However, it was not so easy for the heavy cavalry to turn in battle. Because they're always moving at high speed. Some of the cavalry turned, but some of them were still charging in the same direction, and the Goryeo cavalry suddenly began to disorganize.

At this time, Guo Yi commanded the cavalry troops to chase after the tail of the Goryeo cavalry, and the 10,000 infantry behind him also followed, and the situation on the left flank of the Goryeo army began to turn from defeat to defeat.

And the Chinese army of the Goryeo Army had to retreat in order not to be attacked by the enemy from the left and threaten their flanks.

"Now it depends on how the right wing is, if the right wing can gain the upper hand and even defeat the right wing of the Sui army, there may be some hope." Gao Jianwu was in the ranks of the Chinese army and said expectantly.

At this moment, suddenly there was a shout of killing from the rear. I saw that on the rear side of the camp of the Goryeo army, there was a sudden burst of smoke and dust, as if something big had happened.

"What's going on? Could it be that the enemy has appeared behind our army again? Gao Jianwu asked in astonishment.

"Marshal, don't be in a hurry, send someone to ask immediately!" Eulzhide was busy.

After about a meal, he hurriedly came back and reported: "Marshal Gao, something is wrong! The Sui army attacked our army's camp, and the defenders suffered heavy losses. At present, the enemy army has begun to attack the barracks where grain and grass are stored! ”

"What? The camp was attacked? What's the matter, the Sui army didn't penetrate our formation, how could it run behind our army? Besides, aren't we specially equipped with 10,000 infantry to protect the battalion? And Gao Jian, who stayed behind, saw that the enemy was coming, and didn't know how to organize resistance? Gao Jianwu was so angry that he almost jumped. It doesn't matter if he's his brother or not.

"Marshal, most of the Sui troops who came to attack were wearing our military uniforms, saying that they had won the battle at the front and escorted the prisoners back to the camp. So the guards at the gate of the camp let them into the camp, but who expected them to kill and set fire to them when they came in, and then went straight to the storage place of grain and grass......" said Ulzhide tremblingly.

All the generals of the Goryeo Army were frightened at once. They knew that Gao Jian was only a strategist, and he was not good at directly commanding battles. That's why he was asked to stay in the camp. The army he was equipped with was also the less combat-ready in the Goryeo army. Because everyone thinks that unless the Sui army can penetrate the Goryeo army formation, it will not be able to sneak attack the camp located in the rear of the army.

Under such circumstances, if Gao Jian's left-behind troops encountered a sudden attack by the Sui army pretending to be soldiers of the Goryeo army, they would be caught off guard and suffer a crushing defeat, causing the loss of the camp is indeed very likely.

"What is the situation of the loss of the camp now? How many people are left? How long can the grain and grass heavy storage camp last without being lost? Gao Jianwu asked eagerly. The camp contained more than eighty percent of the Goryeo army's grain stockpile.

"The left-behind troops of my battalion are fighting with the sneak attack troops of the Sui army. The status of the battle is not yet clear. Etozhide said with a touch of sweat.

"Eozhide, you send someone to support quickly! Tell my brother that he must guard the grain and grass storehouse, it doesn't matter if the camp is burned, but the grain and grass must not be lost! Gao Jianwu almost roared.

He never expected that the Sui army would be so immoral, and actually disguised himself as the Goryeo army to come and attack.

"Report Marshal! The right flank was attacked by the enemy's ironclad cavalry, suffered heavy losses, and has now fallen back. Another herald came in and reported.

"What? Ironclad cavalry appeared again on the right flank? Could it be that the main direction of the Sui army's offensive was not the left flank but the right flank? Gao Jianwu had been in a trance by a series of blows.

"Marshal Gao, the Sui army is not equipped with ironclad cavalry on the left flank and in the center, it seems that they have all this elite cavalry on the right flank. Anyway, they had already arranged ferries on the left flank to assist the attack, and they really didn't need ironclad cavalry. Judging from the current situation, all of them are old and weak soldiers, or new recruits who have just enlisted in the army, and they are obviously not the main direction of the Sui army's attack......" Yizhide said in a deep voice. His face was also deeply worried, but he still calmly analyzed the current situation for Gao Jianwu.

"How can the Sui army be so treacherous and cunning! Soon after the war began, he pretended to be our soldiers and attacked the camp, what kind of polite and righteous state is this? Gaisu wiped the sweat from his face with a hand towel and said with a blushing face. He seemed to have completely forgotten that during last year's war, the Goryeo army had surrendered many times.

Now the Sui army's combat methods are indeed very practical, and at the same time they make him feel incredible. But the generals of the Goryeo Army had to admit that Yuming's arrangement played a big role.

Now that the left and right flanks of the Goryeo army have been defeated and retreated, and the rear camp has also been attacked, even if their Chinese army defeats the Chinese army of the Sui army, it will still be unable to recover the defeat. Because the Chinese army of the Sui army was backed by a city wall, could they still climb the city wall with their bare hands?

"Marshal Gao, give the order to withdraw! Otherwise, if we are outflanked by the left and right flanks of the enemy, even the 60,000 men of our Chinese army will be finished. Etozhide said worriedly.

Gao Jianwu's complexion suddenly changed, and now if he orders a retreat, judging from the current battle situation and the strength of the Goryeo army, he can rely on the Yalu River to establish a defensive line. It is even possible to keep a large piece of Liaodong's territory.

However, in this way, his attempt to force the Sui Dynasty to retreat to the west of the Liao River with a great victory would completely fail his plan to recover the fortified city of Liaodong. However, in terms of his own war experience, he should add a history of defeat under the city of Liaodong.

But if you insist on not withdrawing, as Etozhide said, after the left and right flanks completely collapse, after the enemy's cavalry on both flanks outflanked him, plus the large battalion is attacked, the grain and grass may have been burned by the enemy, and it will definitely be a situation of total annihilation.

"Marshal Gao, withdraw! I'll break it off! Ejo said firmly.

"General B, it's a very dangerous thing to break the rear army, so I'd better come." Gaisu hurriedly objected.

"Nope! General Gai, Yu Ming should be in their Chinese military camp if nothing else, I fought against him in the war last year, and I know a little about his situation, so it will be safer for me to come and break off. Etozhide retorted.

"Alright! Then you must be careful! If the situation is really dangerous, it doesn't matter if you surrender and take prisoners, I will find a way to redeem you back!" Gao Jianwu struggled in his heart for a while, and finally agreed to be broken by Yizhide.

When Ulzhide led 20,000 troops and turned back to fight with the approaching Sui army, he found that these troops were all recruits and some old and weak soldiers, and if it were not for the help of trebuchets and archers on the wall behind them, it was estimated that they would collapse under a charge of the Goryeo army.

"No wonder Yuming didn't put the ironclad cavalry in the middle army, it's good if such a force doesn't collapse." Etozhide said darkly.

At this time, he was very eager to see Yu Ming, and see how Yu Ming, who was still unknown and hairy before the war last year, suddenly became a commanding commander.

"Brother Ming, it seems that the Goryeo army has already withdrawn, should we chase and kill it?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked.

"Of course, we have to catch up, but I think 'killing' will be avoided, it is estimated that with the combat effectiveness of our Chinese army, most of the elite broken rear army of the Shangren family will be sent to death." Yu Ming said after a sigh.

"Okay, I'll tell everyone to stop chasing after you."

"By the way, Brother Wuji, you tell Wei Chi Jingde to retreat quickly. The enemy is expected to return to their camp, and his 5,000 men are not enough to stuff the teeth of the main force. Yu Ming thought for a while and then commanded.

"Okay, I'll tell the herald to inform General Wei Chi with a carrier pigeon right away." The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and agreed.

Under the command of Uljideok, Goryeo's Broken Rear Army firmly held back the Sui army's offensive and bought precious time for the Goryeo army to retreat safely to the Yalu River.

The left and right flanks of the Goryeo army, which had collapsed, gradually stabilized their positions in the rout under the personal command of Gao Jianwu. Moreover, the Goryeo army also achieved a result in the retreat: Wei Chi Jingdeok, who had sneaked out of the city through the tunnels in the city and successfully attacked the camp of the Goryeo army, wanted to take the opportunity to make another great contribution and burn the grain and grass of the Goryeo army. As a result, under the desperate resistance of the army commanded by Gao Jian, the losses were heavy.

Although the grain and grass of the Goryeo army were burned in the end, the surprise attack army of Yu Chi Jingde was wiped out after the main force of the Goryeo army returned to defense, and only Yu Chi Jingde himself and a few personal soldiers fled. This can be regarded as the Goryeo army's redemption of some gains near the end of the battle.

And Gao Jianwu, knowing that the grain and grass had been burned, had to order the whole army to retreat.

Naturally, Yuming would not let the Goryeo army withdraw so easily, and he also personally led the cavalry to pursue the victory, trying to cripple the Goryeo army.

In this way, the Sui army and the Goryeo army gradually moved the battle line eastward in the pursuit battle, and on the way, a small number of generals of the Sui army did not listen to Yuming's orders and attacked in the pursuit, but they were seized by Eulzhide and gave a heavy blow, so that they suffered a lot of losses.

Later, Yuming strictly stipulated that if there was any reckless advance and the troops suffered serious losses, the military law severely punished them. In this way, there was no chance to expand the results of the battle.
