According to the estimates of Cheng Chumo and others, there were 156,000 at least, plus reinforcements from Anshi City and Liaodong City, there were 70,000 or 80,000 Goguryeo people here.

And they are only 10,000 people, and the gap between the two sides is not a little bigger!

As for the conjecture that Cheng Chumo and others may be found by the Goguryeo people in Jingguan, in fact, they have already guessed as early as Zhao Chen and them before they left Chang'an.

It's just that the only thing I didn't guess was that the Goguryeo people in Maqishui would be so stubborn, and chased Cheng Chumo and others all the way from Maqishui to Anshi City.

"Where is the fleet now?" Hearing that the general of the Cheng Mansion briefly introduced the matter, Zhao Chen couldn't help but stand there, slightly closed his eyes and took a light breath, and then, when he opened his eyes, he looked at the general in front of him and asked.

"When the young master sent a certain family over, he was already almost at the water village!" The family general didn't dare to hide it, and when he heard Zhao Chen's words, he immediately said: "The young master said that he wants the Hou Ye to evacuate from here quickly, and he will be in Shuizhai and fight with the Goguryeo pursuers for a while!" ”

"Master Hou?" When the general of the Cheng Mansion was talking to Zhao Chen, beside Zhao Chen, Xue Rengui and the old eunuch Wuxin were also there, and at this time, when he heard the words of the general, Xue Rengui suddenly frowned slightly, and looked at Zhao Chen worriedly.

Now, the matter has become clear, the reinforcements of Liaodong City, if it were not for their more than 1,000 guns, forcibly suppressed, I am afraid that they would rush through this canyon anytime and anywhere.

Therefore, if they withdraw now, once the reinforcements from Liaodong City break through and join forces with Anshi City, not to mention that they will not be able to escape, the entire fleet will also be trapped in Goguryeo.

"You go back now!" Xue Rengui opened his mouth, even if he hadn't said anything else, Zhao Chen had already understood what Xue Rengui meant, so he looked at the reinforcements of Liaodong City at the end of the canyon, and when he turned his head, he said to the Cheng Fu general in front of him: "Tell Chu Mo about the situation here, so that he doesn't have to wait for us, and immediately take people out of the water village!" ”

"Master Hou..."As soon as the family general heard Zhao Chen's words, he opened his mouth in surprise, looked at Zhao Chen and exclaimed incredibly: "If we evacuate, then the people in your new military camp will be trapped here!" ”

"It's the only way to do it at the moment!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he smiled bitterly at the general, and said: "You go back and tell Chu Mo, let him evacuate without stopping for a moment, and we will be here, at most for another half an hour!" ”

When he said this, Zhao Chen suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the Jiashan on the side of Anshi City: "At that time, I will directly cross over from here, and let Chu Mo send two ships early to pick us up there!" ”

"Master Hou, it's up to the last general here!" Zhao Chen's words fell, and the general of the Cheng Mansion had not yet spoken, but the new military camp general on the side, Lei Ke, said in a sullen voice next to him: "Master Hou, it's better to follow Cheng Dudu and evacuate first!" ”

"General Lei Lang, is this preparing to trap Benhou in an unrighteous place?" Zhao Chen also knew that Lei Kedi was out of kindness, but he still looked at Lei Kedi with a little blue face, and asked in a cold tone.

The war is imminent, as the commander of the first army, but he withdrew first at the critical moment, which is undoubtedly a blow to his subordinates, and where do they get the morale to fight against the Goguryeo people who are more than themselves?

Just like Ma Qishui back then, seeing that Goguryeo was chasing the troops, the main generals of the Ninth Army, all with their own escorts, all evacuated, ignoring the remaining 300,000 soldiers.

In fact, the 300,000 troops of that year were not impossible to turn over, they were all elite soldiers of the Great Sui, real veterans of a hundred battles, and on the contrary, the elite of Goguryeo at that time were all on the side of Liaodong City.

Therefore, in fact, those who stayed in Maqishui and resisted the 300,000 elites of the Great Sui were a few miscellaneous armies of Goguryeo!

It's a pity that because of a food shortage, the chief general of the Ninth Army at that time was frightened, so when he crossed the river and evacuated, he didn't think about organizing an effective battle formation, but on the contrary, he took care of crossing the river by himself.

Under such circumstances, the 300,000 people of the Ninth Army, who originally had the strength to fight a war, had already messed up the formation at the first time they crossed the river, which directly led to the end of the 300,000 elite divisions being slaughtered by the Goguryeos.

In this case, not to mention only 70,000 or 80,000 Goguryeo, more than 100,000 chasing soldiers are approaching, and Zhao Chen cannot evacuate, otherwise, he will really be scolded by the world for a thousand years.

"Let's go!" Time waits for no one, seeing that the general sent by Cheng Chumo is still standing in front of him, with a hesitant look, Zhao Chen suddenly looked at the general and urged repeatedly.

"Then the Hou Ye is sure, and the last general will evacuate!" The generals of the Cheng Mansion have also followed Cheng Yanjin for many years to fight in the south and the north, and they have rich experience in the battle formation.

When he arrived at this step of the field, he could naturally see that Zhao Chen had no way to evacuate, so he had to bow vigorously to Zhao Chen, and when he raised his head, he immediately turned around and left.

"Whether we can retreat smoothly this time is up to you!" Seeing Cheng Fu's family leaving, Zhao Chen couldn't help but take a breath, and then, when he turned to Shi Hu's fellow villagers, he said with a somewhat solemn face.

"Master Hou, don't worry, the road here, a certain family is already ripe and can't be cooked!" Hearing Zhao Chen's solemn words, a fellow Shihu villager named Erniu suddenly solemnly bowed his hand to Zhao Chen and swore an oath.

Over the years, they have always infiltrated Goguryeo, sometimes by sea, sometimes by land, so in the past few years, they have long been familiar with the roads in this area.

Sometimes, in order to avoid the Goguryeo people, they had to go deep into the mountains, and this became a familiar road for them, and it may not be familiar to the Goguryeo people.

"Good!" Hearing Erniu's assurance, Zhao Chen immediately said to Erniu: "Now Benhou will send you fifty people, with hellfire, to ambush the road that must be passed first!" ”

"Whoa!" Hearing Zhao Chen's order, a man named Erniu immediately bowed his hand to Zhao Chen, solemnly proclaimed, and then turned around and left with the fifty people sent to him by Zhao Chen.

Gasoline, Zhao Chen is a lot, when Cheng Chumo and the others set off, he gave a large batch, and after coming to the city of Anshi, he placed a batch in the temporary camp.

Therefore, at this time, Erniu and the others went directly to the barracks, preparing to take gasoline from the barracks, and then go directly over the mountain to the trail to ambush.

"Senior, I'm afraid you can't be idle at this time!" After sending Er Niu and the others away, Zhao Chen's gaze turned to the heartless old eunuch on the side, looked at the heartless old eunuch with a solemn face, and said: "Over there in the camp, I put a lot of hellfires, but in the end, someone needs to light them!" ”

"Don't worry!" As soon as the unintentional old eunuch heard Zhao Chen's words, he patted Zhao Chen's chest and said solemnly: "This matter will be handed over to the old man, and the Goguryeo people will be kept and carried a big heel in the camp!" ”

"Then please!" Hearing Wuxin's assurance, Zhao Chen nodded immediately and said to Wuxin.

The general of the Cheng Mansion had already told him briefly, Cheng Chumo was on Ma Lishui's side and used gasoline to block the enemy, so if he wanted to repeat the old trick and deal with Ma Lishui's pursuers, I am afraid it would be a little difficult.

The only thing that can make them fooled is that someone can pretend to be a bait in the barracks to lure them into being fooled, and such a person, looking at the entire team, probably only unintentionally can do it.

With high skills, he can not only lure the Goguryeo people to be fooled, but also set the entire military camp on fire at a critical moment, and then, he can withdraw smoothly, and he has no intention of leaving no one else!

"Xue Rengui, you take a few people to take a detour to the left wing mountain!" Seeing off Wuxin, Zhao Chen turned to Xue Rengui on the side and said: "From now on, don't stop for a moment, launch all the shells around you, and then immediately retreat to the right wing mountain!" ”

"Whoa!" Xue Rengui on the side, when he heard Zhao Chen's order, he almost didn't think about it, so he pulled down the bolt of the gun, and then, he shouted at Zhao Chen, and then took a few people and quickly left here.

A few people who were still around Zhao Chen just now were sent out by Zhao Chen in the blink of an eye, but the Lang general from the new military camp remained by Zhao Chen's side.

"Order your men!" After sending a few people away, Zhao Chen picked up the binoculars again, looked at the Goguryeo people at the end of the canyon, paused slightly, and said to Lei Kedi: "Stop shooting for the time being, wait patiently for the Goguryeo people to come forward, and then beat Ben Hou hard!" ”

"Whoa!" Lei Kedi didn't ask Zhao Chen why, and when he heard Zhao Chen's order, he immediately shouted and walked towards the soldiers.

Then, Zhao Chen's order was conveyed, and in the canyon where the gunshots had just been repeated, it suddenly became quiet in an instant.

The gunfire stopped?

The reinforcements of Liaodong City, who were originally suppressed by the dense gunfire here, couldn't raise their heads, and at the moment when the gunfire stopped, they suddenly raised their heads in confusion and looked at this side in confusion.

Naturally, they didn't have such an epoch-making product as a telescope in their hands, so the moment the gunfire stopped, the chief general of the reinforcements from Liaodong City, after a moment of doubt, sent a scout.

Their trip was to rescue Anshi City, and at this time, they were suppressed by the magical weapons of the Tang Dynasty and couldn't raise their heads, and they had already become anxious.

Therefore, at the moment when the gunfire stopped, the commander of Goguryeo naturally thought about taking the opportunity to attack the canyon!

The scout sent out moved little by little along the protruding rocks of the canyon, and as the scout crawled, all the Goguryeo soldiers behind him were silently watching.

However, the scout, who had been approaching smoothly, was almost halfway through when suddenly there was a 'bang' and a gunshot from the other side.

Immediately, the scout, who had just peeked out from behind the rock, tilted his head and fell to the ground.

However, there was only one gunshot, and when the gunshot rang out, all the Goguryeo people who remained in place lowered their heads suddenly, almost reflexively.

However, I originally thought it would be again, but I waited for a long time, and it was quiet over there, as if all of a sudden the Tang people were gone.

And at this time, from the direction of Anshi City, there was suddenly a cannon sound again, compared with the previous one, this time the cannon fire was more dense and more violent than before.

"Is it Yang Wanchun who broke through?" Hearing this fierce artillery fire, the main general of Liaodong City immediately frowned and muttered in his heart in confusion.

The sound of artillery fire over there was still coming densely, and in stark contrast, on this side of the canyon, the two sides facing each other fell into an eerie silence.

The Goguryeo general, who was lying behind a huge rock, was holding the knife in his hand tightly at this time, and the expression on his face was a little hesitant, as a commander-in-chief, he naturally understood that the opportunity for the battlefield was fleeting.

It's hard to say that the weirdness at this time is that Yang Wanchun is breaking through, and it has already caused a momentary threat to the Datang people, so he has to temporarily transfer the people here back.

"Passing the book will order!" After hesitating for a moment, the main general of Goguryeo finally gritted his teeth fiercely and ordered his lieutenants: "Prepare to rush and kill!" ”

The reinforcements of Liaodong City, which had been suppressed by the gunfire, at this moment, with the roar of several lieutenants, immediately stood up from their hiding place, like a group of ignorant and fearless people, went crazy, and rushed desperately towards the other end of the canyon.

"Hit!" And at the other end of the canyon, Zhao Chen, who was standing there, looked coldly at this time, and the Goguryeo reinforcements who rushed to kill slowly raised the gun in his hand.

When they were almost halfway there, they jerked the trigger and yelled.

With the sound of Zhao Chen's gunshot, more than 1,000 people in the new military camp, who had been waiting quietly, suddenly followed Zhao Chen's example, pulled the trigger, and sent all the bullets on their bodies into the bodies of the Goguryeo people as if they didn't need money.

In the canyon that had just quieted down, at this moment, the gunshots like bursting beans rang out intensively again, and with the dense gunshots, in the entire canyon, dense bullets roared, heading straight for Goguryeo reinforcements.

The Goguryeo reinforcements, who had already rushed to almost half of the battle, would not have thought that this was a blank period deliberately created by Zhao Chen, just to wait for this moment to come.

Dense bullets whistled in the canyon, and under such intensive shooting, the Goguryeo people with bows and crossbows and swords in their hands undoubtedly became live targets, and after a round of gunfire, the corpses of the Goguryeo people fell in rows.

Under the weapons that are not proportional to the two sides at all, this is obviously not a war, but a unilateral massacre by the Tang people!

The dense gunfire rang out for about twenty minutes, and at this time, when I looked at it again, the entire canyon was almost covered with the corpses of Goguryeo people.

And the remaining part of the Goguryeo people had already retreated back amid the roar of the Goguryeo general.

"Withdraw!" Seeing that the Goguryeo people had retreated again, Zhao Chen didn't say a word, he put the gun in his hand on his back, and then withdrew to the mountain on the right flank.

Such a long time has passed, presumably Cheng Chumo and the others have already left, and Ma Qishui's pursuers must have already chased over to this side, and if they don't leave, they are afraid that they will be dumplings made by the Goguryeo people.

And when Zhao Chen and the others evacuated, the artillery fire on the left wing mountain had also stopped, and on the way up the mountain, they saw Xue Rengui and people from a distance, and they were also approaching the top of the mountain quickly.

Just as Zhao Chen had just guessed, just as they had just withdrawn to the top of the mountain, a group of Goguryeo pursuers, about 20,000 people, were hurrying towards Anshi City.

Half an hour later, when Zhao Chen and the others had already crossed from the top of the mountain to the top of the mountain on the other side, from the direction of Anshi City, there were suddenly several dull explosions of 'boom, boom, boom'. (To be continued.) )
