Chang Miao received an urgent report from Bi Wanchun from the front asking for help, although the enemy was only 5,000 people, Chang Miao still began to mobilize troops according to Bi Wanchun's request. This is the first battle of the conquest of Liaoyang City, which is related to morale and must be won.

According to his calculations, the two armies should have met near the Old Crow Slope. He immediately ordered Zhu Tianshun and Hua Meng, who were covering the left and right flanks, to outflank the enemy from the two flanks, and at the same time ordered Chen Yunhai and Wu Yuanlong to lead 5,000 cavalry each to attack behind the enemy.

According to the available information, there are less than 10,000 soldiers in Liaoyang City, and the 5,000 who are attacking now must be its elite troops, so Chang Miao not only wants to defeat this army, but also wants to completely annihilate this enemy army. In this way, the garrison of Liaoyang City will be even weaker.

After the four troops launched their operations, Chang Miao's Chinese army also increased the speed of its march. Soon, Bi Wanchun's second news came: Goryeo troops had been found in the enemy formation, and our army was unfavorable in the first battle.

Chang Miao's heart tightened. The Goryeo army has already rushed to the aid of Liaoyang City! Although Chang Miao estimated that Goryeo might send troops to aid Chengyun, he didn't expect them to act so quickly. After a long period of war, the combat quality of its soldiers must be quite high, and in the face of such an elite division, even if Bi Wanchun is a famous military general in Youzhou, it may be difficult to deal with. For today's plan, I can only hope that the reinforcements from the four routes will arrive on the battlefield as soon as possible, and Chang Miao silently prayed in his heart that Bi Wanchun could lead the troops well and hold on until the reinforcements arrived.

As Chang Miao expected, Bi Wanchun encountered an unprecedented severe test. Cheng Yun's troops, led by Cheng Bolong and He Donghuan, attacked extremely fiercely. The two thousand cavalry led by Cheng Bolong took the lead and cut into Bi Wanchun's infantry formation at the fastest speed. Seeing that the situation was not good, Bi Wanchun hurriedly mobilized troops to plug the gap.

At this time, the 3,000 hoplites led by He Donghuan immediately came up. These soldiers are well-trained, experienced and cooperative. Although Bi Wanchun's archers inflicted some damage on them, once they entered the white-knuckle battle, these heavily armored infantry infiltrated Bi Wanchun's formation in small squads. In the face of this strange tactic, the crusading army was obviously very uncomfortable: ordinary attacks had very limited effect on the heavily armored Korean soldiers, and the Korean soldiers cooperated with each other in ten-person squads to cover each other, with very few flaws, just like a hedgehog in heavy armor, making it impossible to start. The Goryeo soldiers, on the other hand, brandished their weapons and divided the soldiers of the crusading army one by one, and then slashed them to the ground one by one.

Faced with this situation, which constantly caused bleeding in his own formation, Bi Wanchun quickly realized that the other party was aiming to disrupt the will of the soldiers, and at the same time cut off the communication and coordination ability between the various departments, and finally found a breakthrough point for Cheng Bolong's cavalry to attack.

Bi Wanchun saw that the problem was serious, but he couldn't find a corresponding solution. These Korean soldiers looked completely disorganized, but they were highly uniform, effectively powering their front-line resistance.

At this time, a voice sounded beside Bi Wanchun: "My lord! The last general felt that the position of the commander of Goryeo was too high, and this person must be directing these soldiers to divide and attack! The last general asked to bring a detachment of men and horses to slaughter this Goryeo commander! In this way, the offensive of the Korean soldiers will be stagnant! ”

Bi Wanchun heard the prestige, and the person who spoke was his other general, Su Chengdong, who was only twenty-seven years old this year, and was a brave general under him. Bi Wanchun knew that what this young subordinate said was not wrong, but how could it be so easy to rush into the opponent's formation and take the commander directly? But at the moment, he has no good plan himself, and only hopes that Su Chengdong's action can be delayed for some time, so that waiting for the arrival of reinforcements is the top priority. At that moment, Bi Wanchun nodded: "Give you five hundred people, just take the opponent's generals, don't fall in love!" ”

"Yes!" Su Chengdong's eyes lit up, and he took the order proudly.

In a short time, Su Chengdong's five hundred people had already rushed to the front line. These 500 men all held shields in their left hands and weapons such as axes and hammers in their right hands. Su Chengdong himself held two battle axes and opened the bow left and right to cut the Goryeo soldiers in front of him to pieces, although the armor of the Goryeo soldiers was thick, but in front of the axe and hammer it seemed powerless, even if the armor could not be cut, but the weight of these heavy weapons alone was enough to break the head and break the bones. For a moment, the momentum of the Goryeo soldiers was suppressed and they retreated all the way.

He Donghuan immediately noticed this situation and immediately sent troops to attack Su Chengdong's assault from both sides. The Su Chengdong team, which was under pressure on both sides, was pressed into a long strip, but Su Chengdong was unmoved, just went all the way to He Donghuan. Seeing Su Chengdong getting closer and closer, He Donghuan's heart sank, and he just wanted to turn the horse's head and retreat, but Su Chengdong didn't allow him to have this opportunity, stepped on the thigh of a Korean soldier, jumped into the air with the help of his strength, and slashed down at He Donghuan with two axes! He Donghuan was shocked when he saw that the other party could come to his horse with a leap from the ground, and hurriedly greeted him with the long knife in his hand. With a "card", He Donghuan's long knife was cut into two pieces, and He Donghuan saw that the situation was not good, so he flashed over in a hurry. As soon as Su Chengdong landed, he waved the double axe in his hand horizontally, and the two legs of He Donghuan's mount were unloaded alive. He Donghuan fell off the horse, and hurriedly rolled on the ground and jumped up, before he could stand firmly, Su Chengdong pounced on him again, He Donghuan didn't have time to think about it, and dragged a Goryeo soldier in front of him, and in an instant, the Goryeo soldier was cut into three pieces. But after such a delay, He Donghuan had already snatched a spear from a soldier and fought with Su Chengdong.

He Donghuan, who dodged the attack, exerted his original strength, and the strength of the two was actually between the two of them, and the victory and defeat were not divided for a while. However, Su Chengdong sacrificed himself to jump into the enemy formation to attack, and after missing a blow, it was equivalent to putting himself surrounded by a group of enemies. Su Chengdong was anxious, the axe in his hand was getting faster and faster, while He Donghuan was holding on tightly, waiting for his soldiers to tighten the encirclement smaller and smaller.

At this moment, Su Chengdong's subordinates finally managed to break through the enemy soldiers' resistance and rushed to rescue their commander. He Donghuan saw that he had missed the opportunity, so he had to give up with hatred and take the initiative to retreat back and reorganize the troops. Although Su Chengdong's attack failed to kill He Donghuan, it also succeeded in disrupting his operational command. As a result, the offensive of the Goryeo army, which had temporarily lost its command, slowed down, and Bi Wanchun finally got a chance to reorganize his formation, successfully separating Cheng Bolong's cavalry from He Donghuan's infantry with the advantage of numbers. The tide began to turn in the crusading army's favor.

Cheng Bolong and He Donghuan also saw that there was no hope of victory, and began to prepare to get rid of their opponents and flee the battlefield. At this time, the two armies of Zhu Tianshun and Hua Meng rushed to the battlefield and formed a joint encirclement of Chengyun's troops from the left and right flanks.
