Chapter 582: Complete Victory

At this time, the sky was already bright, and Gao Xu, who was on the north side of the river, saw that Wen Qi's army had repelled the Gao Guli defenders on the river beach, and he immediately ordered: "The whole army is attacking!" ”

More than 100 boats left the shore and rushed to the opposite bank at the fastest speed, although it was already downstream, but the speed of the river was still very fast, in the process of crossing the river, it was common for boats to capsize, before the Goguryi troops crossed the river under the command of Wen Yu when there were eight consecutive capsizing accidents.

No one cares whether these capsized generals live or die, and the most important thing now is to rush to the other side of the river with all their might.

After Gao Xu crossed the river by boat with 3,000 infantry, Zhao Junsheng also immediately began to cross the river with 4,000 men, and his 4,000 men had to follow closely behind Gao Xu's 3,000 men to provide them with long-range support.

At this time, Wen Qi and his troops had already killed in front of Jiang Heng's Gaoguryi army array, and the army formation of 6,000 people was arranged into a phalanx.

"Spearmen, forward—" Jiang Heng rode his horse and drew his sword in the middle of the formation.

The first ten rows of spearmen walked forward with neat steps, one after the other, with spears in hand.

Wen Qi, who had just chased the deserters across the river beach and on the flat ground, was about to lead the pursuit to continue, but when he saw these routs rushing to both sides, and rows of spearmen pressed up in front of him, his face changed, and he immediately shouted: "Array, array!" ”

In a hurry, where is the time to line up? Before the troops could be arranged into a complete military formation under the command of Wen Guan, they were pressed up by the Goguryi spearmen, and rows of spears were stabbed down, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and soon collapsed, and retreated to the river beach without being able to form an army.

At this time, Zhao Junsheng, who had arrived in the center of the river, stood at the bow of the boat and saw a large number of troops being driven back to the river beach, and he knew that the Goguryi army had begun to counterattack.

"Pass the order, everyone bow and crossbow ready, half of the elevation angle, full of bows!"

After a while, all the put on put on the small flags were raised, indicating that they were ready to find a launch.

"Launch!" Zhao Junsheng gave the order.

Four thousand crossbows were fired at the same time, and the bowstrings ejected and buzzed.

On the flat ground on the shore, in the formation of the Goguryi army, many people involuntarily looked at the sky: "Why is it suddenly dark again?" ”

Before the Gao Guli soldiers could react, countless arrows fell, screams came one after another, and the soldiers fell in pieces.

Waves of arrows rained down on the heads of the Goguryi army as if they didn't want money, and the casualties continued to rise, and the infantry with shields held their shields overhead, while some were shot in the lower abdomen and lower limbs; The Goguryi soldiers, who had no shields, were about to reach the blood mold and were shot to the ground one by one.

"The military formation remains the same, and everyone retreats!" Jiang Heng gave the order, "Our archers will counterattack!" ”

The Goguryi army immediately retreated as a whole and broke away from the range of the Youzhou army's bow and crossbow array.

Gao Xu had already rushed to the river beach with three thousand Youzhou Army infantry at this time, and he pulled out his sword and shouted to the soldiers who fled back: "Lord Wang's military order, those who take a step back, behead-"

The three thousand well-trained infantry immediately lined up in a military formation behind Gao Xu in their own units, spears and spears, shields and knives.

"Ha-ha-ha-" The soldiers let out a loud roar with each step forward.

"Ahh

"What should I do?" The soldiers were in a panic, anxious one by one, you look at me, I look at you.

Wen Qi held his sword and slashed several soldiers in a row, and shouted; "Listen to me, if you don't want to die, kill me back, we have betrayed Gao Guli, if we are disliked by the Wei army again, we will be all finished, those who want to live, want to get rich, and want to be promoted will be killed back with me!"

"Kill-" The soldiers had to follow Wen Qi to turn around and kill back.

"Rush—" Wen Qi turned around with the rest of his troops and crashed headlong into Goguryi's military formation.

The spear array alone obviously couldn't stop these soldiers who came back at the risk of death, and the spear array barely resisted for a while before being dispersed by Wen Qi and the soldiers because they were completely unprotected.

But the general Jiang Heng of Goguryi obviously had more than such a little ability, he gave two orders in a row, and two small phalanxes outflanked him from both flanks, and quickly surrounded Wen Yu and his troops.

"Array!" When Gao Xu rushed to the flat ground with 3,000 men and horses, he gave the order to line up again, regrouped the formation, and in just two minutes, the formation that was originally a little loose due to the hillside became neat and tight again.

"Attack—" Gao Xu pointed forward with his sword.

The 3,000 Youzhou infantry lined up in a neat formation and marched towards the Goguryi army with neat steps.

"Whoosh ······" Goguryi's archers pushed forward and began to fire arrows.

The infantry of the Youzhou Army raised their shields, and waves of arrows were set on the shields, blocking the advance of the military formation at all, but there were still people who kept falling from arrows.

"Whoosh ······" Zhao Junsheng in the rear had already followed with 4,000 infantry, and the salvo of 4,000 bows and crossbows inflicted heavy casualties on the Goguryi army.

"Counteract, bow and arrow quickly counteract!" Jiang Heng gave orders one after another.

"No, general, the Wei army has obviously many more archers than ours, and their bows and arrows have a longer range than ours, if we counteract, we must be the ones who suffer!" Deputy General Gai Yunshi said to Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng frowned, if the large-scale bows and arrows of the Wei army were allowed to continue to strike, his infantry was afraid that it would not be long before they would be shot to death.

"Command, attack on all fronts!" Jiang Heng gritted his teeth and gave an order, he couldn't help but give such an order, only short-handed combat could make the local archers useless.

"Kill—" The Goguryi generals charged.

At the beginning of the charge, the formation of the Gao Guli generals could not be maintained, and soon became scattered, at this time no one paid attention to the formation, only rushed to the Wei infantry formation at the fastest speed, the opponent's archers would throw a mouse bogey and stop shooting.

"Mo Dao Team prepare-" Gao Xu shouted, and the battle knife in his hand pointed forward, "Forward-"

The Mo Knife Team is in the front rows, and the back is a military formation that combines the sword and shield soldiers and spearmen, and the Mo Knife Team takes one step at a time, not fast, not slow, not slow, and every step must cause a huge vibration resonance.

"Thorn—"

"Cut-"

"Split-"

The soldiers of the Gao Guli soldiers who rushed up crashed into the Mo Dao team one by one and were killed, leaving behind a corpse, and the soldiers of the Mo Dao team stepped on the corpses and blood to advance, swinging the Mo knife every two steps forward, and every time they swung the Mo knife, they took away countless lives.

The slaughter began, the Mogu soldiers only advanced and did not retreat, advancing means taking away the enemy's lives, at the beginning it was rows of Gaoguri soldiers who rushed up to die, after losing thousands of people, the Gaoguryi soldiers behind were afraid, they were too frightened to rush to the Mo Dao team, but the Mo Dao team would not stop, their speed was not fast, but they did not listen to the stop.

Jiang Heng's face turned pale when he saw it, and he immediately ordered: "Send two teams of five hundred people to attack the Wei army from the left and right flanks!" ”

When the two 500-strong teams set off from the left and right flanks, the Goguryi army in front could no longer withstand it, and when they saw the great lethality of the Modao team, they were all frightened and retreated, if it weren't for the fact that there was still the main general of the Goguryi army in the rear, they were afraid that they would have fled long ago.

Gao Xu immediately discovered the movement of the Goguryi army, and he could see that the Goguryi army wanted to attack the Modao team from the left and right wings, but how could he let Jiang Heng get his wish? He immediately ordered the transfer of 1,000 men into two teams of 500 men to meet the two attacking phalanxes of the opposing side from the left and right flanks.

Jiang Heng thought that the hand-to-hand combat would make the large number of crossbowmen of the Wei army useless, but he did not expect that the Wei army's infantry formation was so tight and the attack was so sharp that the Goguryi army would be killed before they could rush into the Wei army's formation.

"General, the opponent's infantry formation is too tight and dense, and the attack is too sharp, the only way is to send out cavalry!" Adjutant General Gai Yun suggested loudly.

Jiang Heng looked at it for a while, and it was indeed as Gai Yun said, the only way to turn the situation back now was to dispatch the only three thousand cavalry.

"Someone, order the cavalry to go out, divide into two parts and insert it diagonally from the left and right wings!"

Jiang Heng's order was issued, but before it could be executed, a large number of horses' hooves and shouts of killing were heard from the west.

Jiang Heng couldn't help but turn his head to look behind the side, but found that a Wei army banner was moving quickly to this side, and a member of the Wei army general under the banner rushed with thousands of cavalry, and the three thousand Gaoguri cavalry that had just been assembled were rushed to pieces in the blink of an eye, with heavy casualties, and the remaining Gaoguryi cavalry could not muster the courage to fight back, and they fled one after another.

In this situation, Jiang Heng saw that his heart was cold, his biggest reliance - three thousand cavalry was defeated in one shot, and the infantry could no longer stop the attack of the frontal Wei army, what other way to save the defeat at this time? All his hole cards have been drawn.

"General, defeated, we are defeated, no matter how much we fight at this moment, it is already a lack of skills, it is better to retreat immediately, how much can we keep some soldiers and horses, if we continue to fight, we can't run away if we want to!" Gai Yun shouted at Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng gritted his teeth: "Retreat east!" ”

More than forty miles to the east of this place, he also deployed thousands of men and horses to prevent the Wei army from crossing the river, and he wanted to take the remnants of his defeated army there to join the thousands of men and horses.

Bai Jinguang chased more than ten miles with two thousand cavalry, killing and capturing more than three thousand people.

Jiang Hengzheng fled all the way east with the remaining more than 1,000 remnants of the defeated generals, and happened to meet a team of soldiers and horses in front, he thought that his own men and horses received the news and came to reinforcements, but he didn't expect to encounter the Yan army led by Chang Kuntong.

The Yan army led by Chang Kun successfully crossed the river more than 20 miles away, killing the few Goguryi defenders there, and when they rushed to this side, they happened to encounter Jiang Heng's remnants of the defeated generals.

After a battle, Jiang Heng and his remnants of the defeated generals were besieged, and in the end, there were only more than 300 people left, but they were still fighting like trapped beasts, but they could never break through the encirclement, and they had no choice but to surrender on their knees.

Zhao Junsheng quickly rushed over with his men and horses to join Chang Kun, and after receiving the prisoners, Zhao Junsheng ordered Chang Kun to immediately turn around and go back along the river bank to clear the various garrison strongholds of Goguryi.

In order to end the battle at Goguryi as soon as possible, Zhao Junsheng ordered to immediately build a pontoon bridge over the river, and he personally led the main force of the Youzhou Army to Pyongyang.
