Chapter 1117: Xiongxin retreats from the enemy
Two hours later, on the plain in front of the grove, 100,000 Goguryeo cavalry had occupied the entire plain, the guns were like a forest, the elite armor was Yaori, and the war horses of the cavalry on both sides were shaking their heads uneasily and excitedly, as long as they heard the drums of the attack, they would move forward, through this forest, crush the Shan Xiongxin in front of the forest, kill until the sea, and drive all the remnants of the Sui army into the sea, and feel depressed for many days!
More than 100,000 pairs of eyes, all looking at the horse riding in front of the battle, looking at the opposite, thoughtful Eulji Wendeok, if half a day ago, these soldiers of the various Goguryeo departments were still worried about the military talent of this great pair of Lu who had been in the Wenchen and had not really led the army to fight, now the 50,000 Sui military heads in Pyongyang City have completely dispelled these sergeants' suspicions about General Eulji Wendeok, and they will rush forward without hesitation when he gives an order. first kill the Sui general Shan Xiongxin on the opposite side, and then go to the beach to fight a decisive battle with the Sui army.
However, Etozhi Wende's brows were tightly locked, and his two eyes were fixed on Shan Xiongxin, who was three hundred paces away, galloping back and forth in front of the woods, his hands tightly supporting his chin, and he did not say a word.
Bai Menghe has been standing by the side of Ezhi Wende, and with him, there are two people, Gao Qianhui and Cui Nanan, this time the counterattack, Eulzhi Wende used the elite men and horses of the four tribes including the Royal Forest Army in the army, and ambushed nearly 200,000 soldiers inside and outside the city of Pyongyang.
The corners of Bai Menghe's mouth hooked: "Lord Yizhi, do you think that the enemy army has an ambush in the woods?" ”
Yizhi Wende's brows furrowed: "It's hard to say now, the forest is very quiet, and the birds have not fallen in the forest, obviously there is an ambush of the Sui army." It's no wonder that this Shan Xiongxin dares to be so big and dare to challenge here alone, just to lure us into the forest. ”
Cui boy sneered: "Even if the Sui army has an ambush, there is nothing to worry about, they have a total of more than 100,000 people, and today they lost 50,000 in Pyongyang City." Even if all the others come out and ambush in this wood, it will only be 60,000 or 70,000 men, and as long as we concentrate our superior forces, surround them on all sides, and then attack this forest with fire, we will definitely win a complete victory. ”
Gao Qianhui smiled and shook his head: "Lord Cui, what you can think of, General Sui can also think of, the current wind direction is not conducive to our army." It is impossible to attack with fire, if you want to make a detour, you have to take a detour of dozens of miles, and you have to risk cutting off the Sui army, and the only feasible way is to attack head-on. ”
Ezhi Wende nodded: "Master Gao is reasonable, but attacking this dense forest head-on, even if we win, our army will have to pay a heavy price for casualties." That's why I never gave the order to attack. ”
Cui boy was a little unconvinced, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Yizhi." Our army has just won a big victory, and now its morale is like a rainbow, as long as you give an order, these hundreds of thousands of troops can attack the forest in one fell swoop, even if the losses are greater, they can completely wipe out the Sui army. I don't know what you're waiting for, if you let this Sui army breathe down, rearrange the defense, and try to eat them in one bite, it will be difficult. ”
Ezhi Wende's brows furrowed: "Master Cui." You think it's too simple, it's common sense to be cautious in the forest, now the enemy is dark and I am clear, the Sui army is well-equipped, and their equipment advantages can be maximized in this forest, so that our army's bow and arrow advantage can not be played, even if we lose tens of thousands of people, we may not be able to attack. What's more, we will have to face Yang Guang's army from Liaodong next, if we use up all the capital here, then what will we do to deal with the most ferocious wave of the Sui army? ”
Bai Menghe said with a smile: "What Lord Yizhi said is extremely true, today our army has won a great victory, I don't think there is any need to continue to entangle with the Sui army, it is better to camp here to deter the Sui army, they can't stay in this forest for too long, sooner or later they will have to retreat to the big camp by the sea, as long as they retreat to the seaside, then the city of Pyongyang will be temporarily relieved of the danger, we only need to send a partial division to camp with the enemy on the beach." ”
A trace of unwillingness flashed in Yizhi Wende's eyes: "But just let go of the Sui army and let go of Laihu'er, I'm still a little unwilling, maybe the Sui army doesn't have many troops in the forest, let the old man test it again." ”
Yizhi Wende waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Which warrior dares to step forward and fight alone with the enemy general Shan Xiongxin?" ”
Cui Nan said strangely: "What are you doing alone with him?" Send a few thousand people to attack and you can try it out. ”
Yizhi Wende shook his head: "No, if the enemy army has an ambush, it is useless to send thousands of people, Shan Xiongxin will never dare to break off here alone without backup in the forest, I just need to see if he is calm and calm, I will know the situation." ”
Bai Menghe nodded, and said to a junior colonel behind him: "Li Tianxiu, you are a warrior in the Imperial Forest Army, and you have always had a reputation for being good at fighting. ”
A Goguryeo colonel in his thirties with a yellow face and hanging eyebrows frowned, but still said, "I will try my best." With that, he shot out of the horse and went straight to Shan Xiongxin.
Shan Xiongxin watched the opposite side fly over, laughed, picked up the black lance, and jumped out of the horse, the drums and horns in the forest were loud for a while, and the smoke and dust were everywhere, mixed with the sound of a lot of horses' hooves stomping on the ground, at least thousands of people were shouting loudly, cheering for Shan Xiongxin.
Yizhi Wende's face changed slightly, Bai Menghe, Cui Nan and Gao Qianhui and others were also distracted, looking at this frame, there seemed to be at least more than 10,000 people concentrated at the entrance in the forest, not to mention how many reinforcements there were behind, no wonder Shan Xiongxin was so calm and calm, without fear.
After more than 20 rounds of fighting, Li Tianxiu turned the horse's head and wanted to escape back into the square, but was caught up by Shan Xiongxin, a lance stabbed under the horse, and a lance nailed the whole person to the ground, Shan Xiongxin smiled and pulled out the bloody tip of the lance, and slashed at the neck of Li Tianxiu's corpse, a human head rolled off like a watermelon, his wrist flicked, the black lance stabbed the human head, and provoked it high, Let every Goguryeo sergeant see clearly: "A certain Sui general Shan Xiongxin, can there be warriors in Goguryeo to fight to the death again?!" ”
Yizhi Wende sighed and waved his horsewhip: "Order, retreat three miles, set up camp on the plain, let go of the horse for the time being today, and design to take his life in the future!" (To be continued......)
