Zhang Xutuo led the Wan Sui army to rush and kill, chasing and killing for nearly 20 miles, until it was in front of the Goryeo coalition army camp, and the sky was already bright before stopping.

At this time, Xianwei and Hachi counted and found that less than 10,000 of the 70,000 troops who had fled back at the time of the expedition. Heishui and Sumo both lost more than half, and the Xi people suffered most of the casualties, leaving only 8,000 people to return. Even Ji's 20,000 troops lost more than 1,000 people, which can be described as a great defeat.

Hearing that the army of the clan had been defeated, Zhang Xutuo slaughtered less than ten miles outside the camp of the coalition army, which made all the generals of the Goryeo coalition army shocked.

Although there are many people in the big tent, it is silent, all of them are thinking about their own thoughts, judging from the current situation, although the coalition forces are numerous, they are still a rabble, and the momentum is indeed huge, but they are not united.

A soft cough broke the silence. He looked around, somewhat complacent, and secretly thought that he was lucky that he was smart and knew that the Sui army was powerful. Even the young general Yuming, who has not dried up, is so powerful. Zhang Xutuo, known as the first fierce general of the Sui Army, is naturally invincible. And Daron can't do what he can't do, so he just goes up and asks for his own hardships. Wouldn't it be a pity to accompany a life?

He then hurriedly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, since this Sutuo is so powerful, then we should withdraw and go back to each department." ”

"That's true!" Abao Cave was the first to jump out and said: "The Sui army is really difficult to fight, Dalong has already given his life, Xian Wei and Hachi have also suffered heavy losses, and the gains outweigh the losses. Besides, the reinforcements of the Sui army are also coming, and if they are attacked by the enemy inside and outside, it will not be good. ”

Abao Grotto spoke first. All the clan leaders nodded and said, "What the Abao cave leader said is good. This Suda is really difficult to deal with, and the enemy's reinforcements are coming, so it is better to withdraw. ”

But Gao Jianwu frowned and said: "Abao Cave, I don't dare to agree with your words, for the sake of the mountain, the success is falling short, we can't win Zhang Xutuo, all the previous sacrifices and efforts are in vain, only by defeating this first fierce general of the Sui army can we defeat the Sui army, so that Yang Guang is afraid and does not dare to attack again." Whether this Sutuo army can be annihilated is related to the morale of our army, if this battle is fought by 150,000 to 10,000, it will end in a fiasco. How will you still fight the Sui army in the future? It's better to surrender early! ”

"But can you Gao Jianwu resist Zhang Xutuo?" Kubrai asked unceremoniously. He had heard about Zhang Xutuo's awesomeness from Xian Wei.

Hearing this, Yizhide couldn't help frowning and said: "Kubulai Ling, we are all thinking about the future of all tribes, but you are talking to the marshal like this, but it is ......"

But Gao Jianwu sneered: "Zhang Xutuo is also a human, not a god, I actually have a way to defeat him!" ”

Xian Wei, whose face was covered with blood, laughed loudly, pointed at Gao Jianwu's nose and said, "It's up to you......"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside the tent, and a man rushed straight into the tent.

Everyone fixed their eyes on it, it was the scout captain on duty outside, he was thin and thin, and he had a hard bow on his back, and he was busy reporting: "Marshal Qiyu, Zhang Xutuo's army has arrived at the camp of our army only ten miles away, and it looks like it is about to call......

Inside the big tent, Gao Jianwu Huoran stood up, while the rest of the leaders wanted to walk outside the tent, trying to gather their own family members and horses to escape.

At this time, Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, everyone. ”

After hearing this, Abao Cave turned around and persuaded: "Senior brother, I think you should run away quickly." Zhang Xutuo can't win! ”

Gao Jianwu shook his head resolutely and said, "You must not escape." We must win this battle. Zhang Xutuo is brave and unscrupulous, both arrogant and ruthless, if you listen to my orders and wait in formation, this commander will definitely be able to defeat him. ”

After hearing this, Kuburai said with some disdain: "Marshal Gao, you can't help but think highly of yourself." I heard that you fought against the Sui army last year, and you were defeated by Yu Ming, a young general of the Sui army. Now that you meet Zhang Xutuo, who is far stronger than Yuming, can you still defeat him? ”

The leaders of the coalition army were already a little afraid of confronting the Sui army, and after hearing about it, many people wanted to retreat.

Gao Jianwu got up at this moment and said: "You are really too timid about Zhang Xutuo, although Zhang Xutuo is still brave, but the foundation of the Great Sui has fallen, and the soldiers have been fighting for many years, and their fatigue is far better than usual. Zhang Xutuo's officers and soldiers were based on the younger soldiers of Qi County, and the troops led by him had been fighting in the eastern Liaodong region for too long, and it was inevitable that people would return to their minds. Combat lies in the spirit of the army, and if the spirit of the army is unstable, how can it win? ”

"Several leaders, if we can't take this opportunity to defeat Zhang Xutuo this time, after two days the reinforcements of the Sui army arrive, we will have no day to turn over. Zhang Xutuo is a human being, not a god, and before Dalong was defeated and died, but it was because he had improper strategy and fought too lightly against the enemy. And now I have a clever plan to deal with Zhang Xutuo, and I ask everyone not to evacuate. Gao Jianwu persuaded him.

"What Marshal Gao said also makes sense!" Abao Cave finally relented, but he was a little sarcastic: "But I don't know what the marshal has to do to defeat Zhang Xutuo?" ”

Gao Jianwu secretly said that this person was really not successful enough, and he had more than enough failures, but he still smiled and said: "If you want me to tell me a strategy, it's okay!" But you must first issue a military order, giving me full authority to lead the troops, and if you violate it, you will be punished without forgiveness. ”

After hearing this, the leaders were a little reluctant, so they negotiated the conditions with Gao Jianwu again, and after Gao Jianwu promised to cede one more city to each of them, Fang finally nodded and agreed.

"Good! Now everyone will gather their men and horses and go out of the camp to fight Zhang Xutuo! With Gasu as the vanguard, if you listen to me, you will be able to defeat him! Gao Jianwu shouted.

In the camp of the Goryeo coalition army, the golden drums sounded in unison, and the brigade of people and horses rushed out and rushed towards the Zhang Xutuo army ten miles away......

……

After a while, Zhang Xutuo got the news that the Goryeo coalition army was dispatched, and it was Gaisu who took the lead. However, he was not afraid, and just said two words lightly: "Attack!" ”

After the order was issued, the Wan Sui army immediately marched forward in a phalanx like a sophisticated machine.

Zhang Xutuo's soldiers were highly disciplined and never flinched when encountering the enemy. When suppressing bandits in the Central Plains, as long as the thieves heard the word "Zhang Xutuo", they were terrified.

From the pace to the momentum, from the equipment to the flag, it can be seen that his troops are an out-and-out elite division, irresistible, and calm. Even so that the enemy army will not care about how many men he has.

In the eyes of the soldiers of the Goryeo coalition army, they could only see the Sui army surging like a torrent of steel, covering the sky and the sun, endlessly.

However, this is not the Central Plains after all, and there are still a large number of soldiers in the Goryeo coalition army who have not fought against Zhang Xutuo, they don't know how powerful Zhang Xutuo is, and they don't know how to fear Zhang Xutuo.

At this time, Gaisu gave an order, and two teams of light cavalry, each with more than 1,000 people, outflanked him from the left and right flanks and harassed Zhang Xutuo's flanks. In the middle, a group of more than 2,000 heavy cavalry rushed out, wanting to block Zhang Xutuo's army.

At the same time, he also shouted: "The marshal has an order, today is an important battle related to the life and death of our coalition army!" Either you die, or I die, who can kill Zhang Xutuo, reward him with two gold, and make him the lord of the city! ”

More than half of the allied soldiers were from Goryeo, and the rest were steppe nomads. Most of them didn't know how powerful Zhang Xutuo was, although Ruxi clan, Heishui and Su Mo suffered defeat at the hands of Zhang Xutuo. But in the eyes of the rest of the people, it is the reason why the people of that department have fought incompetently. If you had changed yourself, the situation would definitely be different.

However, although the cavalry on the grassland came and went like the wind and walked quickly, their equipment was far worse than that of the Sui army. Most of them are dressed in leather armor, and those who can have a set of iron armor can be considered elite. Although there were more than 100,000 people, they were gathered from at least eight tribes and dozens of cities.

To put it mildly, although the coalition forces are superior in numbers, they can only be regarded as a rabble, with uneven orders, different equipment, and even more different training courses.

However, at this moment, under the heavy reward, the coalition soldiers swarmed up, and the arrangement was densely packed, which was dazzling to see.

It's just that even if they are armed with swords and guns, whether it is the formation or momentum of the arrangement, they are far inferior to Zhang Xutuo's army.

The Sui army was not in a hurry, calm and steady. The coalition soldiers screamed and swarmed forward, and the two sides finally began to contact and fight. However, there was no earth-shattering collision as imagined.

Under Qin Qiong's order, everyone's shields stood sideways, and the Sui soldiers quickly moved closer to the two wings, and the door of the hole in the middle was wide open. The Goryeo soldiers rode horses, unable to stop their pace at all, and rushed in quickly.

And after the cavalry of the Goryeo army poured in, Qin Qiong shouted again, and in an instant, the shield was closed, forming a closed phalanx, and the heavy cavalry of the Goryeo army who rushed from the middle were locked inside.

After more than 2,000 allied cavalry poured into the phalanx of the Sui army, they saw yellow dust billowing and smoke billowing inside. And the Sui army, also under the command of Qin Qiong at this moment, stopped, and the heavy infantry shields on the periphery were lined up, blocking the sight of the light cavalry of the Goryeo army on both wings, making it impossible for them to see the movement inside.

"Rush forward! Be sure to get in touch with the people inside! "Gaisu naturally knows that it is powerful, if the passage is not opened, the two thousand heavy horsemen trapped in the phalanx will be absolutely finished.

After hearing his order, the soldiers of the coalition army looked at the heavy infantry of the Sui army waiting in front of them, but their performance was different. Some stepped forward at the mercy of orders, while others retreated. Some were excited, because some of the trapped people had their own relatives, while others were very frightened, and their hands were shaking......

Although there must be brave men under the heavy reward, not all of them are asking for money and not dying, seeing that more than 2,000 heavy cavalry were surrounded in the Sui army's array, they could not break through at all. Many of the allied soldiers were afraid of the Sui army, feeling that they were facing a steel monster, and they opened their mouths and waited for the food to be delivered to their mouths.

The corpses and heads of the coalition soldiers kept flying out of the phalanx, as well as some broken weapons, which made many coalition soldiers hesitate to step forward, just looking at it from a distance, at a loss.

After all, the trapped cavalry didn't have much friendship with them, and they couldn't sacrifice their lives to save them.
