Chapter 497: It's good to be alive

Suddenly, the Baekje officers and soldiers in front of them dodged a passage, and behind them, dozens of shields appeared. Those shields were crowded together, squeezing towards Qualcomm and the others, and in the gaps of those shields, a lot of long-haired iron tips stretched out.

At this time, there were less than ten Tang officers and soldiers who climbed the city wall, and they rushed violently, but they could not stop the advance of these shields, and they were squeezed back step by step.

Qualcomm regretted for a while, just now in order to siege the city, he used up all the fierce fire oil clay pots he brought. Knowing this earlier, leaving a few to throw on those shields would have solved the problem in no time. It's a pity that it's too late to regret it.

Qualcomm and the others were forced to the edge of the city wall, so they had to climb down the ladder. The Baekje people saw that the Tang army had retreated, and their morale was greatly boosted. They howled and pressed down quickly.

Qualcomm covered the soldiers down the ladder, and he also stood on the ladder and climbed down.

At this time, the Baekje people rushed up and hit the fleeing Tang army. A strong Baekje man raised his shield and threw it at Qualcomm. The Qualcomm people couldn't dodge on the ladder, so they had to raise the round shield in their hands and go up.

With a "tom", the heavy shield was condescending, and the force was so fierce. Qualcomm couldn't hold it and fell off the ladder.

Several pro-soldiers saw Gao Tong falling, and they didn't care whether he was alive or dead, they picked him up and ran.

The Tang army's offensive was once again disintegrated, and the ladders were all destroyed by the Baekjes.

Zhang Guigui saw that Qualcomm was carried over, and hurriedly ran over to check.

He saw that Qualcomm had his eyes closed and blood stains all over his body, he was anxious and shouted loudly: "Qualcomm, wake up, brother, wake up." There was a cry in his voice.

Qualcomm opened his eyes and said, "I'm not dead yet." ”

Zhang Guigui saw that Qualcomm was fine, and tears of excitement flowed out at once. He smiled and said, "You kid is still alive, it's good to be alive." ”

The military doctor who accompanied the army came to check on Qualcomm and found that there were no other injuries except for some cracks on the tiger's mouth on his left hand and some abrasions on his face, and the blood stains on his body were all from Baekje.

Qualcomm sat up and said, "Precious, it seems that it won't work today, the Baekje people have a regular army in it, and I don't know how many people there are." Otherwise, forget it today, go back and report to the prince, send a large army over, and don't be afraid that you won't be able to clean them up. ”

Zhang Guigui saw that the ladders he brought were all destroyed, and the fierce fire oil was also used up, looking at the strong city wall in front of him, he was helpless. He said, "Okay, then withdraw the troops." ”

Suddenly, Hou Cheng and others ran over, only to see an arrow stuck in his shoulder, and his image was very embarrassing. He shouted as he ran: "Precious, Qualcomm, reinforcements from the Baekje people have arrived, and they are the cavalry of the brigade. Run. ”

It turned out that Hou Cheng and others were behind the town, monitoring other directions to prevent the enemy from coming for reinforcements. They spotted smoke billowing in the distance, and a large group of cavalry was moving. Hou Cheng knew that it was the enemy's reinforcements that had arrived, so he gathered the soldiers who were scattered and on guard and retreated.

Suddenly, a group of Baekje cavalry appeared from the side, about a hundred people, and when they saw Hou Cheng and the others, they rushed towards them, and kept firing arrows at them, so they had to flee back.

Zhang Guigui hurriedly ordered a retreat. The soldiers of the Tang Army retreated one after another and ran towards the war horses.

At this moment, the gates of the town opened, and a large crowd of Baekje people rushed towards them with swords and guns, shouting.

Xue Rengui saw that Zhang Guigui and the others did not come back at the specified time, and he was secretly anxious in his heart, so he sent scouts to reconnoiter in the direction of Zhang Guigui and the others' march, and gathered the troops of the first army and the second army to respond.

Jang Guigui and the others gathered their troops and retreated in the direction of the port, and soon threw off the Baekje people who rushed out of the town. However, the Baekje cavalry that chased Hou Cheng and the others stuck to them like a dog's skin plaster. They pursued the Tang army, but kept a certain distance from the Tang army, and kept firing arrows to harass the Tang army.

Zhang Guigui and the others ran for more than ten miles, and when they saw that the Baekje cavalry was still in hot pursuit, they couldn't help but get angry. Their battle didn't go well today, and they were all holding back the fire in their stomachs, and they were thinking about venting.

Zhang Guigui shouted, "Stop." ”

The procession stopped, and Zhang Guigui turned his horse's head and rushed towards the Baekje people in the first place.

Unexpectedly, those Baekje people were ghostly and ghostly, and when they saw Zhang Guigui and others rushing towards them, they turned their horses and ran. Zhang Guigui and the others chased out a few miles, seeing that they couldn't catch up with those Baekje people, so they reluctantly turned around and continued to hurry.

It was the Baekje people who saw that the Tang army was retreating and followed again.

Hou Cheng said: "Precious, do you see the forest in front of you?" In this way, you will continue to march forward with your brigade, and I will lead men to lay an ambush there. When they come, let's fight on both sides and eat these Baekje people. ”

"Good idea." Both Zhang and Qualcomm agreed.

Qualcomm said, "I'll stay too." ”

Zhang Guigui said: "Okay, let's do it." ”

Hou Cheng and Gao Tong quickly ran to the front of the team, taking advantage of the opportunity of the rear brigade blocking the view, and commanded part of the Tang cavalry to enter the woods to ambush.

The Don brigade passed through the woods and continued to retreat.

Soon after, the Baekje people came to the vicinity of the forest. Seeing the complicated terrain here, the Baekje people also stopped and discussed there. Soon after, the Baekje people split into two groups, and they pulled away, one of which passed through the woods first. The latter group stayed put, observing the movements of the first group of cavalry.

Seeing the Baekje people coming, Qualcomm was about to rush out.

Hou Cheng said: "Don't worry, wait for the team behind to come, let's fight again." The team in front of them will be handed over to the precious ones to deal with. ”

Sure enough, seeing that the first cavalry passed safely through the woods, the second cavalry of the Baekje people galloped forward along the road in the woods.

Seeing these Baekje people enter the ambush circle, Qualcomm shouted: "Release the arrows!"

The Tang army in ambush in the woods fired arrows together, and the Baekje people were caught off guard and fell half of them in an instant.

Hou Cheng and Gao Tong rushed out with Tang Jun and shouted.

After a short battle, the Baekje people were slaughtered.

The pair of Baekje cavalry who had passed by earlier immediately panicked when they saw such a change behind them. At this time, Zhang Guigui and others also reflexively killed back.

The Baekje people were stunned for a moment, then left the road and ran towards the hillside.

Zhang Guigui and the others gave up the chase and killed most of those Baekje cavalry, and seeing the remaining few Baekje people scattering and fleeing, Zhang Guigui and the others gave up the chase and returned to the road to continue the march.

Soon after, they encountered a village abandoned by the Baekje people, and just as the Tang army was about to pass through, a large number of Baekje cavalry poured out of the village, blocking the Tang army's way to death.

It turned out that when Zhang Guigui and others attacked Gaomiao Town, the vanguard of the Baekje cavalry received a report from the scout. The general who led the team was determined to annihilate Zhang Guigui and others, and he sent a team of cavalry to entangle with Zhang Mougui and others, and another team of cavalry, led by locals who were familiar with the terrain, made a detour to intercept the Tang army.

Zhang Guigui and the others delayed time to deal with the Baekje cavalry that was tracking, which created conditions for Zhang Guigui and the others in the Baekje White Poison Circle.

There were more than 1,000 cavalry to intercept Zhang Guigui and the others, and there were thousands of cavalry behind them who were rushing here.
