Chapter 31: Straight In

Defeat is like a mountain!

Defeat is like a mountain!

Moreover, the rout of the Goguryeo people continued to spread, and after the 10,000 people who were defeated by a single blow, Xu Rong did not even dismount, but handed over the camp and prisoners of war to the infantry behind, and then ordered all the cavalry to pass through the camp and go straight to the Goguryeo brigade on the way to retreat.

As for the tens of thousands of Goguryeo people on the way to retreat, there is no need to think about it at all. Without fortifications, it was difficult to organize troops to counterattack, there was no way to resupply and rest, but there were constant casualties...... Throughout the ages, there have been many things that have turned into a great retreat, and this is not bad this time, let alone the pursuit of infantry by extremely mobile cavalry!

The Goguryeo people did not try to resist, at the beginning, they were summoned by some nobles to try to gather into a battle formation to block the attack, but they were hit by a large-scale impact of the oncoming Han cavalry;

Then in the evening, they could not bury the pot and cook;

Finally, at night, they couldn't find a safe and warm place to rest!

Tired, hungry, cold, and constantly dying...... Therefore, even if the Han army only launched a large-scale surprise attack on the first engagement, only one night later, the Goguryeo retreat naturally evolved into a standard defeat.

Gradually, starting from the rear army that was in direct contact with the Han army, some Goguryeo people from the countryside knew how terrible the Qianshan Mountains were in winter, but they still relied on their own wild hunting experience, and in groups of three or five, with bows and arrows on their bodies, they drilled into the mountains and forests on both sides of the road without hesitation;

There were also some soldiers and officers who were obviously from the country, and they knew very well that returning to the city where their hometown was the only hope, so they also gathered their men one after another, and then went directly to break away from the main army and move through various mountain and forest paths;

The nobles did not have the same calmness as they used to be, and many of them relied on the advantage that they still had mounts, relying on their knowledge of geography, so they took their slaves, gave up the command of the army, and then fled directly across the marching order!

In other words, under the pursuit of the cavalry of the Han army, under the threat of death, the army as a whole in the past is slowly turning into a bunch of scattered small groups or even individuals! This deconstruction is like a plague, and once it is infected, the entire army has no combat effectiveness to speak of...... Think about it, too, when the concept of collectivity disappears, everyone is just trying to survive for themselves, and where can anyone sacrifice for others?

In fact, this structure caused great damage to the Goguryeo troops, even far more than the damage caused by the Han cavalry...... Sometimes for a bag of corn, sometimes for a mule, and sometimes even just to seize a junction first, the former comrades who fought side by side will draw their knives, show their bows and crossbows, and start an inexplicable fire in front of the Han army that deliberately stopped behind them!

At the same time, the Han army, which was chasing after him, maintained great organization and discipline, and the next morning, Bandun even caught three Xianbei cavalrymen who tried to rape a Goguryeo woman on the way, and then personally executed them!

It's not how much he respects women, nor is it what kind of civilized teacher Gongsun Xun wants to build...... In fact, no matter how good the record is, it can't hide the fact that this army is a ragtag army, and that woman is also a prostitute nine times out of ten...... But when it comes to this, even these Hu cavalry leaders have already understood that as long as the last rope is tightened, it will definitely be able to completely destroy the huge army in front of them, and once the largest armed force of the Goguryeo people is destroyed, the entire rich Goguryeo hinterland will be at their disposal!

But at this time, these three soldiers did not continue to persecute the Goguryeo people, but they took out the energy to do such a ridiculous thing, what if it caused imitation, caused the army to get out of control, and finally let the Goguryeo people escape as a system?!

Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?!

"Xu Sima has an order!" Seeing that he had finished killing people, the herald with the white feather on his head stepped on his horse and stepped on the pool of blood. "The general attack will be changed to this afternoon, when the whole army will let go of their hands and feet, disperse all the Goguryeo people who can be seen in their eyes, kill all those who stand in the way and resist, and pursue the opponent's handsome banner all the way to the end.

"I see." I don't know if it's because I only slept for two hours at night, or because I just killed someone, but my eyes are all red and bloodshot. "Please report back to Xu Sima, at that time, my Wuhuan Turquoise Cavalry will definitely be like wolves biting their prey, so that the Goguryeo people will be completely killed!"

The herald nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

"Stay." Crash suddenly remembered something. "Xu Sima Ke said why he wanted to attack in advance, didn't he say that he would wait until early tomorrow morning?"

"The general is coming!" Obviously, the herald of the official formation of the Han army didn't hide anything, and directly went back and explained. "It is said that the Taishou in our Xuansu County, as well as the nobles on the Liaodong side, already knew that we had won a great victory, so they sent a large number of people to sit in the plain, and the general personally urged the remaining troops to press over...... My family Sima said that he didn't want to wait for the general to catch up and see Goguryeo people holding their ridiculous golden frog flags. ”

Crash immediately nodded his head in understanding and approval.

"It can't go on like this!" At the same moment, under the ridiculous brimmed golden frog flag, the diminutive Ming Linda Fu reined in his short pony out of breath and moved slowly. "If my guess is correct, tomorrow, tomorrow at the latest, the Han army will really move as long as it consumes us for one more night, and if we can't be prepared at that time, then the whole army will really be annihilated......"

"How to prepare?" A middle-aged nobleman next to him asked angrily. "How are you prepared for this situation now? The whole army is out of control, no one dares to stop at all, even if you don't control the army! ”

"I know." The immediate Ming Lin replied breathlessly. "In fact, by now, the whole army has lost its fear, it has not slept all night, and the whole army has lost its combat effectiveness, so it is impossible to hide from the collapse of the army, and I didn't say that I want to organize a defense here......"

The surrounding Goguryeo nobles all looked at this Mo Lizhi, who used to be the only one in the country, as if they had a little taste from the other party's mouth.

"What do you mean ......by Mo Lizhi?" Someone couldn't help but bow their heads and ask.

"That's what you thought." Ming Lin said as he wiped a handful of sweat from his gray hair. "There is no reason for this here, so we should break away from most of the people and rush to the Bone City first...... This is not to flee for our lives, but to say that only when we get there in advance can we collect the defeated troops as much as possible, and then rely on the city to stop the Han attack! If you stay here, you will only die in vain! ”

The reactions of the surrounding nobles were mixed, but most of them remained silent, as if no one wanted to die in vain here.

"Someone has to stay behind to guard the banner of Mo Lizhi." I don't know who suddenly shouted. "We have to change our clothes, otherwise we won't have to catch up with the Han people, and we will be trampled to death by our own people......"

"It's easy to say that we all have our own elite private soldiers, just find a place to change our outfits, the key is to keep people, and leave real nobles to support the scene...... Who's going and who's staying?! ”

"If there are more than two people in each clan and surname, one person must be left to protect the banner!" Ming Lin replied through gritted teeth. "My nephew has been court-martialed, but there is a son by his side!"

On the side, the second son of Ming Lin's husband was bloodless.

"It's not for you to die." Ming Lin replied helplessly. "When the fight starts, you can also throw away the flag and run, the key is to let us, the important ministers of the country, go back first and be prepared, so that the country can have hope!"

The surroundings immediately fell silent, but Ming Lin answered the husband and said that he would do it, but he took the lead and turned directly into a forest on the side of the road. After a while, he took the lead in changing into a dirty leather robe.

"Mo Lizhi's clothes are worn on his body, like a real old slave," someone couldn't help but mock with a weird yin and yang. "The Han people must not recognize it."

The white-haired and short-stated Ming Linda lowered his head and dragged his pony away from the woods without saying a word, as if he hadn't heard, and the people around him made some uncertain sounds, but after all, they changed their clothes, and then officially separated from the bordered golden frog flag!

However, just as the true leader of this army was trying to disappear from the sky, a cry of indignation suddenly came to mind behind him:

"Mo Lizhi is a coward, he's going to leave us and run away!"

Along with these words, the tall warrior who was in charge of holding the banner of the golden frog with the border openly threw the banner representing the authority of Mo Lizhi to the ground, and burrowed into the nearby mountain forest again.

A group of Goguryeo's top nobles in dirty robes and the surrounding elite Goguryeo warriors were almost stunned in unison, and then they didn't chase and arrest this person, nor did anyone hold up the deadly banner, but they all turned around and fled separately!

Among them, Ming Lin Dafu ran the fastest!

At this time, it was less than a full day before the Han army's attack yesterday...... To be honest, it is understandable to say that yesterday's retreat of the Goguryeo people turned into a rout. So now, after surviving all night, the Han army didn't even have time to launch a fatal blow, and they went from defeat to collapse in an inexplicable way, which is a bit unexpected!

Of course, the Han army was also immediately aware of this, and Xu Rong also made a quick decision and changed the time of the general attack for the second time. The whole army of more than 7,000 cavalry was divided into three sections, and then divided into assaults and massacres along the wide passages!

At this moment, tens of thousands of Goguryeo people completely collapsed, they fled all the way along the passage, banners were thrown down, food was abandoned, and even some people really took off their precious iron armor just to be able to run faster than their comrades!

And soon under this chaos, the red-eyed Han cavalry no longer spared horsepower, no longer cared about the battle formation, and just chased and killed all the living people who stood in front of them along the avenue out of instinct.

From morning till night, there were countless casualties, and when the Han army broke through all the large Goguryeo routs in the evening, and then was exhausted and had to gather to rest, many people found that their swords and spears had even appeared gaps and defects.

But at this time, their enemy, the Goguryeo army that had been camping in Zaihara a few days ago, had really been completely wiped out......

Draw your sword and look around, dazed.

Xu Rong knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for his troops to kill all these tens of thousands of people, and there must be a sufficient number of Goguryeo people nearby, but he also came to this position, because he Xu Bojin didn't know where those people were now, and even those people themselves didn't know where they were...... In this case, how to continue to complete Gongsun Xun's order to 'kill everything' before departure?

For a while, Xu Rong was also a little dazed and dazed.

…………

"Don't panic!"

Twenty miles away from Xu Rong, somewhere in the east, Ming Lin Dafu was comforting the noble warriors around him with red eyes...... Thanks to the speed of the livestock under the crotch and the time that countless Goguryeo defeated soldiers behind them exchanged for their lives, most of the Chinese nobles still escaped. "The Han army chased all night, and it must be tired, and further on is the hinterland of our country, the roads are vertical and horizontal, and it is not at all like before that it can be chased down one by one...... We can rest with confidence. ”

The surrounding noble warriors all had dull expressions, and many of them only raised their heads and glanced at each other when they heard such words, but they didn't bother to pay attention to each other.

"We need to go to the Bone City." Dressed in a dirty leather robe, Ming Linda continued to persuade bitterly, and his beard was now covered with dust and grease. "In front of me, only by relying on the Bone City can we gather the soldiers......"

"Where did the soldiers come from?!" Someone directly smashed a frozen hard cowhide bladder over, but it was the corner of Ming Lin's eyebrows, and the latter, who had not been injured in the slightest, was bleeding profusely. "The soldiers of the kingdom have been defeated by you!"

"Don't say it's a soldier," someone sneered. "The men in the country are about to be buried by our Mo Lizhi......"

At this point, the laughter involuntarily turned into a cry, and then, under the moonlight, all the nobles couldn't help crying.

"Please don't cry!" Seeing this, Ming Lin replied to the husband, regardless of his own blood, and directly knelt on the ground and pleaded. "But I am afraid that I am gone, and in this case, I naturally have to take responsibility. But now that the country is in danger, it is not the time to worry about these things at all...... Everyone, think about it, if you can stop the Han people before the spring thaw, then Goguryeo will still be there, you will still be nobles, and we will still have five cities and hundreds of thousands of people to rely on; But if you can't stop it, and the Han people break through the Hunjiang River, Goguryeo will really die, and then you won't be afraid of turning from nobles to slaves?! ”

"So you still have to go to Susheng Bone City?" Someone asked rhetorically with a crying voice.

"Not bad!" Ming Lin replied quickly. "Listen to me, all of you go to the Bone City with me, when we get there, we will gather the rout, and immediately gather the forces of their respective families, if we can have time, according to the danger of the Bone City, we can still hold it until the spring."

The answer to Ming Lin Dafu, the former Goguryeo Mo branch, was silent.

But after a long time, someone finally stood up, which made Ming Lin Dafu, who was kneeling on the ground, very happy...... In his opinion, as long as someone takes the lead, it will be easy to do.

"I'm going to the national capital at the foot of Ji'an Mountain," unexpectedly, as soon as this person opened his mouth, Ming Lin replied like falling into an ice cave. "Mo Lizhi is just Mo Lizhi after all, and at this time we should rely on our own king! Ladies and gentlemen, there are not only the last soldiers and horses left behind in the kingdom, but also a large number of noble private soldiers, invite the king out, and then we will contribute our own slaves, and then rely on the majesty of the kingdom, we can stop the Han people! ”

"That's right!"

"We have a king!"

"But Gong Ji is dead, and Gong Liugong is estimated to be dead, Mo Lizhi is simply a national thief who has ruined the fortunes of the country...... It's better to follow him than to follow the king! ”

Minglin replied that he wanted to open his mouth many times, but he was finally speechless.

……

"I've made up my mind!" At the same moment, as an outstanding officer of the Han Army, Xu Rong also changed his strategic goals neatly. "Today is a good rest, and early tomorrow morning, leave two thousand people to continue sweeping the road, and pick up the general, and the rest will go to Susheng Bone City with me!"
