Seeing the robes around him fall one by one, Zhang Shou's heart was also like a knife, and his heart couldn't help but shake, anyway, the big army had already caught up, so what if he let go of a gap, once the other party broke up, it would be easier to fight. But another voice told him: "No, we can't let go, we want to destroy the enemy instead of defeating it, and once the enemy is broken, I don't know how many people will escape?" ”

"Tell the brethren to stand up and not to take a step back!" Zhang Shou passed on his orders loudly.

"Yes, General, don't take a step back!"

The pro-soldier repeated Zhang Shou's order, turned his horse and yelled backwards: "The general has an order, don't take a step back, everyone resist, kill!" The tears on his face couldn't help but flow, after this battle, the original more than 3,000 brothers don't know how many people will still exist.

"The general has an order, don't take a step back, kill!" In an instant, all the Sui troops blocking the road roared wildly, and the Sui army in red armor was like a rock, blocking the attack of the black wave, and the corpses on the ground were piled up more and more, human corpses and horse corpses were intertwined, and the blood and water merged into a small river to flow to the river on the right, and soon, even the river became bright red.

The slashing of the cavalry became bumpy, and the horses often tripped on the horse's corpse, and the speed of the cavalry on both sides suddenly became like a snail.

With a loud shout, Zhang Shou's war horse almost fell to the ground with weak legs, and several Goguryeo soldiers were overjoyed and stabbed at Zhang Shou with spears in their hands. "General be careful!" A pro-soldier pounced on Zhang Shou, and in an instant, he was hit by several spears in his back, and the tip of the spear pierced through the armor and peeked through the front chest of the pro-soldier. The soldiers grabbed the tip of the spear with their hands and prevented him from stabbing Zhang Shou.

Zhang Shou recognized that this personal soldier was one of his cousins, and his heart ached, he turned over and jumped off the back of the horse that had been half soft, and swept the horse lance in his hand, and the two Goguryeo soldiers who had just happily killed Zhang Shou's personal soldier suddenly broke their legs, and the war horse neighed and fell to the ground with a bang. The two Goguryeo soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, and several of their own soldiers crossed Zhang Shou's position and stabbed two Goguryeo people to death with their horse lances, which can be regarded as avenging the death of their own soldiers just now.

"General, get on your horse." A personal soldier jumped off his horse and wanted to give up his horse to Zhang Shou.

Zhang Shou raised his eyes and looked around, the Sui army and the Goguryeo army were intertwined, but the intersection in the middle was already covered with a layer of human and horse corpses, and Zhang Shou drew a long knife. A knife slashed at the neck of his beloved horse. A stream of horse blood gushed out and splashed all over Zhang Shou's body, and Zhang Shou suddenly became a bloody man.

The surrounding soldiers were surprised, Zhang Shou's war horse was from a Turkic horse, he had followed Zhang Shou for five years, and he usually cherished it the most, although he was injured now, there was no need to kill it. Just when everyone was a little overwhelmed. Zhang Shoudi's voice came: "Order, everyone in front of you dismounts and kills the war horse!" ”

"Ahh Although the pro-soldiers usually obey Zhang Shou's orders. Hearing the order to kill the horse is also at a loss, now the two sides are entangled in a fight, although they have lost their speed, but they are always condescending on the war horse, not to mention that the cavalry cherishes their war horses very much, and how can they bear to kill their own war horses with their own hands.

"Kill the horse, build the carcass of the horse into a wall. Block them! Fast! Zhang Shou said urgently.

The soldiers suddenly realized. Although I still couldn't bear it in my heart, I just obeyed the order. First, the people around Zhang Shou began to kill the horse, and then the people who were attacking in front also took a few steps back, stepped directly on the horse's corpse before jumping down, and killed their war horse in pain, and soon, a corpse wall was built in front of Zhang Shou. This corpse wall quickly continued to both sides, and in a short time, the entire mile-wide road was blocked by the corpse wall, and until now, Zhang Shou and his subordinates all became infantry from cavalry.

The Goguryeo soldiers who were attacking were fighting and were stunned to find that they were blocked by the corpse wall, and the Goguryeo soldiers who did not believe in evil jumped on the corpse wall, but only stepped on the slippery horse corpse, and the war horse was either trapped by the horse's hooves or slipped, and the Goguryeo people on the horse had not yet reacted and had been easily killed by the Sui army and became part of the corpse wall.

"Spread out and get the infantry on!" Gao Huizhen in front saw that the corpse wall was not good, and hurriedly withdrew the cavalry and replaced it with an infantry attack, and now there are not many cavalry in the entire Goguryeo, and the death of a person will make the Goguryeo generals feel distressed, and the Sui army got a short rest time.

"Quick, drop the lance and change the crossbow." This corpse wall is still effective in blocking the cavalry, and it can't stop the infantry from attacking, Zhang Shou naturally knows it.

"Boom, boom." In addition to the soldiers standing on the corpse wall, all the Sui troops threw away their long weapons, put all the long knives in the sheath, and quickly took out the crossbow and arrows, at this moment the quality of the Sui army was extremely revealed, and in a short period of time, it has completed a crossbow array of 100 people, three of which are five people, and a crossbow array that is only 300 people who are dissatisfied, and the Sui army left on the corpse wall is only more than 700 people, and the blockade just now, nearly 800 people have died of more than 3,500 cavalry.

"Shoot!" The crossbow arrows in the sky crossed the corpse wall and landed among the Goguryeo infantry who were rushing over, Gao Huizhen closed his eyes in pain, and could not bear to look at it again, in order to speed up the march, all the infantry had lost all their baggage except for weapons, and they could not resist the Sui army's arrows with their thin clothes.

The sound of porphyry sounded, and when Gao Huizhen opened his eyes again, he only saw a large number of corpses of Goguryeo soldiers rushing forward, and the rest of the soldiers immediately hesitated and did not dare to advance.

A young knight in his twenties came to Gao Huizhen and asked loudly: "General Gao, Lord Mo Lizhi has something to ask you, why hasn't the passage been opened yet, if not, Lord Mo Lizhi will let someone take over." ”

Gao Huizhen's face turned red, he pulled out a long knife, jumped off the horse, and shouted backwards: "Sons, rush with me!" ”

Under the leadership of Gao Huizhen, coupled with the sound of the Sui army in the rear getting closer and closer, the soldiers also knew that there was no way out, and finally mustered up the courage to brave the Sui army's arrow rain to rush forward, and the Goguryeo generals behind also organized archers to start releasing arrows, the arrows on both sides collided in the sky, and fierce sparks were encountered, and the Sui army standing on the corpse wall also had to carefully dodge the arrows, however, they had armor and a square shield each. Compared to the Goguryeo people, it is much easier.

"Kill!" Gao Huizhen rushed to the corpse wall composed of war horses without danger, and at least two of his own soldiers were killed because of blocking arrows for him, his heart was full of anger, and the spear stabbed fiercely into the lower abdomen of a Sui soldier standing on the corpse wall, this spear stabbed quickly and fiercely, the Sui army couldn't dodge, and the lower abdomen was pierced by Gao Huizhen's spear at once.

"Ahh The stabbed Sui Jun let out a scream, holding the spear that had pierced his lower abdomen with one hand. His eyes glared at Gao Huizhen fiercely.

Although this Sui Jun is fierce, but Gao Huizhen has experienced a hundred battles, so he will naturally not be afraid, he used the ** spear hard, and wanted to take the spear back, but he didn't expect to move a few times and didn't do so, and there was a gust of wind on his head, and Gao Huizhen saw that the Sui Jundi threw a Changge with his other hand, straight to his throat. Gao Hui was really surprised. Hands are forced. He finally pulled the spear out of the Sui army's abdomen, but seeing that the Changge thrown by the Sui army was only a few feet away from him, he didn't have time to dodge it at all.

My life is resting, Gao Huizhen closed his eyes and waited for death, when, a personal soldier stretched out his weapon for Gao Huizhen to open the spear thrown by the Sui army, and shouted: "General be careful!" ”

Gao Huizhen escaped, only to feel a wet back. It was already a cold sweat, and when he looked at the Sui Jun just now, he lost too much blood. Sui Jun had already fallen on the corpse wall, his eyes wide open, and there was a trace of regret in his eyes.

"Kill! Kill it! Gao Huizhen seemed to be greatly stimulated and screamed wildly.

It's just that it's so easy to kill, several layers of horse corpses are stacked on top of each other, slippery and slippery, the horse lance of the Sui army. The spear is like a deadly reaper. Many Goguryeo soldiers were killed by the Sui army as soon as they climbed the corpse wall, adding another part of the corpse wall to the height. The reinforcements behind were blocked by the crossbow arrows of the Sui army, but they could only be intermittent, with tens of thousands of troops, and there were only a few hundred people who could engage with the Sui army.

The battle became more and more intense, the Goguryeo people pounced one after another, and the casualties of the Sui army on the corpse wall became heavier and heavier. No matter how many Goguryeo troops climbed up, the Sui army's defense line was unwavering.

Yuan Taizuo, Gao Jianwu and others were so anxious that they jumped to their feet, and sent batch after batch of people to urge, and the two people in the left rear also led their subordinates to block the Sui army, and they were beaten bitterly, and the arrows of the Sui army fell like raindrops, if it weren't for Yuan Taizhuo's several times to increase troops, their rear would have been broken through by the Sui army.

A cavalryman galloped quickly in the direction of Yuan Tai Fraud, and only turned over and dismounted when he was almost close to Yuan Tai Fraud: "Report, Mo Lizhi Lord, the beggar general asks for support, otherwise the Sui army will not be able to stop." ”

Without waiting for Yuan Taizuo to answer, Gao Jianwu had already jumped up: "What, he already has 12,000 people and still needs support." ”

"No, no, now there are only more than 4,000 people left, if we don't send troops, the rear will be scattered." The cavalryman said with a crying voice.

Yuan Tai Lie and the others gasped when they heard this, which is equivalent to a short period of time, the beggar Zhonghu has lost nearly 8,000 people, and now Yuan Taizuo has no surplus of the last team of 10,000 people, if he sends more people to block the rear, Yuan Tai Fraud will become a bare-bones commander.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded again, Yuan Taizuo turned his head to look, and another knight hurried over: "Report, Lord Mo Lizhi, General Yizhi asked for reinforcements."

Yuan Taizuo had a headache, gritted his teeth, and pointed at the two generals: "The two of you each bring two thousand men and horses to reinforce them, remember, you must not let the Sui army break through our defensive line." ”

"Yes!" The two generals glanced at each other, and a look of helplessness flashed in their eyes, but they didn't even have a chance to postpone it.

The elite cavalry of the Sui army in the rear hit the Goguryeo infantry wave by wave, and every time they impacted, the Goguryeo army lost a piece like the melting of ice and snow, but no matter how the Sui army attacked, the Goguryeo soldiers still fought to the death and did not retreat, here, the Goguryeo army reflected their quality worthy of a strong army.

Yu Zhongwen slowly looked at the battlefield, this is the plain area, if there is not a small river in the way, he can order the cavalry to attack Goguryeo at will, with this small river, it will block the escape road in front of Goguryeo, and also make Goguryeo can also send troops to block him. If Goguryeo is temporarily in the pocket of the Sui army, but the front of this pocket is too thin, Yu Zhongwen knows that it is impossible to block the front for too long, and every time there is a delay here, the front will be dangerous.

Zhang Shou is his old subordinate. Because of this, Yu Zhongwen will send Zhang Shou to lead the troops to rob the grain, if Zhang Shou has a loss, Yu Zhongwen is equivalent to cutting off an arm, he would even rather the Goguryeo army flee than Zhang Shou has something to do, but unfortunately across the Goguryeo army, his orders can't be transmitted.

"If you go to the next army, you must defeat the Goguryeo soldiers who are blocking the road in the shortest possible time." Yu Zhongwen waved his hand. A decisive order was given to throw another cavalry of 3,000 men into the war. Of the 18,000 horsemen brought by Yu Zhongwen, 15,000 horsemen are now fighting on the battlefield at the end of their lives, and there are only 3,000 horsemen left by his side.

These 3,000 horsemen became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and shortly after they came forward, a shout came from the front: "The enemy army is broken, the enemy army is broken." ”

Yu Zhongwen looked forward, and sure enough, the last 3,000 living forces had already pierced through the Goguryeo Great Array that was blocking the formation in the rear. Ride on foot. In the face of the Sui army's attack, the Goguryeo soldiers finally despaired, and were broken through a small gap by the Sui army, and soon this small gap became a big gap, just like a water break. Unstoppable anymore.

"Kill!" The Sui army rushed towards the gap, and the defense just now seemed to have exhausted all the energy of the Goguryeo soldiers, and the soldiers threw down their weapons and scrambled to flee back. The only 6,000 troops of Yuan Taizuo were also completely dispersed.

"It's over, it's over." Yuan Taizuo looked at the rout soldiers rushing towards him, sighed, choked and pulled out his long sword and was about to commit suicide, and the soldiers hurriedly hugged their hands and feet, dragging Yuan Taizuo: "My lord, run away." ”

It's just that there's no way back. There were pursuers behind. Where can they escape, Yuan Taizuo and Gao Jianwu had to be taken to the dense forest by their own soldiers. Some Goguryeo soldiers jumped directly into the icy river in desperation, and now the river is close to freezing, and most of the Goguryeo soldiers in the lower river splash to the surface of the water, and after a while, the river is full of corpses.

"Surrender or kill! Surrender or kill! ”

The so-called defeat was like a mountain, and when they heard the shouting, the Goguryeo soldiers squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and the Sui army in front of them faced thousands of people could not move, not to mention that there were nearly 20,000 troops behind, and they had lost the courage to fight the Sui army again.

"Zhang Shou, where is Zhang Shou?" Yu Zhongwen rode to the front in person, looking for his favorite general, and the Sui army who arrived first stood dumbfounded, even the Sui army couldn't help but be shocked in the face of this corpse wall that was completely built up of human and horse corpses.

"General, the last general is here." A bloody man responded to Yu Zhongwen's words.

Yu Zhongwen looked at the past, and the person who replied was as if he had been immersed in a pool of blood, and even his face was covered with blood, if it weren't for the fact that his two eyes were still open, no one would think that he was alive. Yu Zhongwen looked at it suspiciously, he couldn't tell whether this bloody man was his subordinate or not.

Just as Zhongwen was pondering, the bloody man slowly fell, and several surviving sergeants were in a hurry, and hurriedly held the bloody man and shouted, "General, general." ”

"Quick, call the military doctor." Yu Zhongwen was also in a hurry, and hurriedly ordered.

The military doctors of the Sui army were assigned to the team, and there was a Lang Zhong among the hundred people in each team, and now these military doctors were checking the wounded for treatment, this battle, the casualties of the Sui army also reached thousands, and every military doctor was busy to death, and after a while, a military doctor hurriedly came over, and picked up the blood man for a long time before saying: "Back to the general, this person is only a small injury, not injured the muscles and bones, the villain will just bandage him." ”

"How is it a small injury, how can a small injury the general suddenly faint, you quack, if something happens to the general, I will kill you." One of Zhang Shou's personal soldiers couldn't help but threaten with a knife.

The military doctor was displeased, in the army, the status of the military doctor was quite high, but seeing Yu Zhongwen here, the military doctor did not get angry, and explained: "This general is really a small injury, and the coma is just a loss of strength." ”

Hearing the military doctor's explanation, Zhang Shou's personal soldiers put their minds at ease, and immediately apologized to the military doctor with a smile, the military doctor muttered a few words, and had to put down the matter, Yu Zhongwen took out the handkerchief, and personally wiped it on the bloody man's face, and after a while, the clean handkerchief was dyed red and could no longer be used, Yu Zhongwen changed a few handkerchiefs to the pro-soldier company to wipe the bloody man's face clean, revealing Zhang Shou's face.

Seeing that it was really Zhang Shou, Yu Zhongwen breathed a sigh of relief, and began to care about the results of the battle, before dark, the results of the Sui army were counted, this battle, annihilated more than 49,000 Goguryeo troops, of which 23,000 were killed, 26,000 were captured, and only about 1,000 of the 50,000 Goguryeo troops were missing, however, Yuan Taizuo and Gao Jianwu have not been found, and they will only be searched after dawn tomorrow.

The casualties of the Sui army were not light, with a total of more than 4,200 horsemen killed and more than 5,000 wounded, and all the 3,500 men and horses led by Zhang Shou were wounded, and nearly 2,000 of them fell forever, and the losses were unbearable.
