The two armies fought fiercely on the banks of the Tuoshui River, with 30,000 Sui troops versing 50,000 troops of the Bohai Navy.

In particular, the 1,000 heavy armored infantry passed through a mess, and the soldiers of the Bohai Navy were like weeds and barren artemisia for them, and the soldiers were cut down one by one, and the corpses were all over the ground, and the blood flowed like a river, and there were internal organs and mutilated corpses everywhere, and the scene was extremely bloody and tragic.

The Bohai navy was killed by the Sui army and retreated, but they were about to face a more severe situation, 10,000 Sui cavalry had quietly arrived, they had just defeated 20,000 Bohai navy thirty miles to the south, and they did not care about chasing the defeated soldiers, and turned north to raid the main force of the Bohai navy.

At this time, 10,000 Sui cavalry were ambushed behind a gentle hillside in the north, Pei Xingyan stood on the hillside alone, his leopard-like eyes stared at the banner of the Bohai Navy, Zhang Xuan gave him the right to decide to attack independently, and he could attack immediately.

Pei Xingyan saw that the Bohai Navy was being killed and retreated, and the main army was getting closer and closer to his ambush, which was less than a hundred steps, he raised his lance and waved it heavily, and shouted, "The moment of meritorious service has come, kill!" ”

"Kill!"

10,000 cavalry rushed down the hill like the tide of the sea, and surged towards the Bohai navy, which was already facing collapse, and the sudden arrival of the Sui cavalry caught Gao Lie off guard, he was already very panicked, and suddenly he was attacked by the enemy, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

But his soldiers did not hesitate, under the impact of the Sui cavalry that came like a tide, everyone was broken, and most of them thought of fleeing for their lives at the same time.

But even if it is not so easy to escape, the army formation is too dense, and the soldiers do not know the south, east, west, and northwest, but just run blindly, which makes the army even more chaotic and disorderly.

The Sui cavalry galloped in, and they shot arrows on their horses. Arrows rained down, shooting the Bohai Navy to the back of a horse, and in an instant, the Sui cavalry slaughtered into the enemy group, although the Sui army did not form a formation, but the team was not chaotic. They were a team of 100 people, under the leadership of the brigade commander, galloping and killing in the Bohai naval group, without mercy, they were like countless sharp daggers, cutting the Bohai navy into pieces, and suffering heavy casualties.

Gao Lie was already desperate, he knew that the defeat was decided, and he could not take care of the army. Together with Gao Tan, under the desperate protection of five hundred personal soldiers, he fled to the northeast, and at this moment, a soldier galloped on horseback to report, "Lord Qiqi, General Mu is about to arrive, he is coming from the east with an army of 6,000 people, General Mu begs the Lord not to retreat north!" ”

Gao Lie was overjoyed, maybe Mu Suixin could control the chaos of the Bohai Navy. can also organize a counterattack, and a glimmer of hope suddenly rises in his heart. Immediately said to the messenger: "Quickly order General Mu to organize an army counterattack!" ”

Mu Suixin had just arrived from the southeast, only one step behind the Sui cavalry, and although his 20,000 troops were quickly routed under the heavy blows of the 10,000 Sui cavalry, because the Sui cavalry did not completely annihilate them, Mu Suixin gathered more than 6,000 men.

At this time, they were still two miles away, and they saw the Sui cavalry rushing out of the hillside from a distance. Mu Suixin was immediately anxious and ordered his soldiers to counterattack the Sui army, and he personally led two thousand soldiers to rush to rescue the commander.

It was a spectacular sight, with tens of thousands of Bohai navies fleeing for their lives in the chaos, most of them already terrified. Unwilling to respond to the battle, 30,000 Sui troops chased and killed behind the enemy group, and there were many corpses all the way, while two or three miles away, another 10,000-strong Sui cavalry was blocking and chasing around, and the Bohai Navy was cornered and surrendered on their knees.

At this time, Mu Suixin responded to Gao Lie, although he wanted to regain his strength and fight a decisive battle with the Sui army, but after all, he was a general with rich experience, he saw that the defeat was irreparable, rather than the whole army was annihilated, it was better to let the master escape, stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood.

Mu Tunnel Xin immediately made a decision, rushed forward and shouted: "Master, the defeat is irretrievable, the master can break through first, I will break it off!" ”

"General Mu is right, the Lord will retreat north as soon as possible, and I will stay."

Gao Qin stepped forward and snatched Gao Lie's golden helmet and put it on his head, shouting and urging Gao Lie to leave, "The master will leave quickly, it will be too late to hesitate." ”

Gao Lie's cloak was scattered, his heart was so painful that his lips were about to be bitten, but the situation did not allow him to say goodbye pretentiously, he had to roar, whip his horse, and desperately run north, and the guards were also divided into two teams, one team of 300 people followed Gao Lie, and the other team of 200 people followed Gao Qin with the royal flag of the Bohai Society.

Pei Xingyan led a thousand elite cavalry to find Gao Lie's personal guard in the chaotic army, the cavalry was fierce and abnormal, and the army guarding Gao Lie was attacked again and again, and three thousand Bohai naval soldiers resisted desperately under the command of Mu Suixin, although they were superior in numbers, they were far from being the opponent of the cavalry, and could not resist the cavalry offensive of the Sui army, and the formation was gradually torn apart.

Pei Xingyan suddenly saw 'Gao Lie' wearing a golden helmet, and just eighty steps away from him, he immediately took off his bow and arrows and kept an eye on Gao Lie's movements.

When more than a dozen guards protected Gao Lie from the left side, his entire side was exposed to Pei Xingyan's field of vision, Pei Xingyan did not hesitate, Zhang Bow is an arrow, the arrow was strong, and an arrow from the side pierced Gao Lie's neck, Gao Lie let out a muffled scream, and dismounted.

Pei Xingyan was overjoyed, he wielded a long lance to kill quickly, stabbed to death more than a dozen guards in a row, and rushed to Gao Lie's side, at this time Gao Lie had not swallowed his breath, fell to the ground and struggled, and was slashed by Pei Xingyan with a knife, his neck was divided into two sections, and the head flew out more than two feet.

Pei Xingyan picked up the head with the tip of the lance, and galloped with a golden helmet in his hand and shouted: "The master of the Bohai Sea is dead!" Gao Lie is dead! ”

Zhang Xuan was waiting for this moment, and when he saw Pei Xingyan galloping with his head, he knew that Gao Lie had died in Pei Xingyan's hands, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

But another scene happened on the battlefield that Zhang Xuan did not expect, thousands of defeated troops loyal to the Bohai Society and Gao Lie continued to gather around Mu Xuanxin, Gao Lie's death made these scattered troops gradually restore the will to take revenge, Mu Suixin raised his arms and shouted: "Avenge the master!" Fight to the death with the Sui army! ”

"Fight to the death!"

Zhang Xuan immediately ordered, "Order the whole army to suspend the pursuit of the defeated troops and regroup!" ”

'Woo-'

The trumpeters of the Sui army sounded the rallying horn, and the 30,000 Sui soldiers stopped the pursuit and quickly regrouped from all sides, and the cavalry also quickly returned to cut off the enemy's retreat from the north.

The two armies formed a situation of flanking the front and rear, preparing to completely annihilate the last Bohai County soldiers who refused to surrender.

But Zhang Xuan never thought that Pei Xingyan recognized the wrong person, and the person he killed was not Gao Lie, but another important figure of the Bohai Society, Gao Tan, and he did not expect that the real purpose of Mu Suixin leading thousands of soldiers to fight to the death was not to take revenge, but to cover Gao Lie to escape from the pursuit of the Sui army.

Four thousand remnants of the Bohai Sea gathered beside the general Mu Suixin, they had no way to retreat at this time, either surrender or die in battle, but Mu Suixin did not have the slightest intention of surrendering, he was determined to die, and led the army to fight to the death with the Sui army.

Under the afterglow of dusk, the field seemed to be ignited by wildfire, and a mile to the west was Tuoshui, the river was sparkling, and Gao Lie was fleeing along Tuoshui to Beicang in fear surrounded by three hundred cavalry, and a few miles behind them, there were countless defeated soldiers who fled in a daze.

But Gao Lie had already been frightened by the Sui army, and he didn't have the slightest idea of stopping his war horse to collect the defeated soldiers, but only wanted to desperately flee north, flee to Liaodong, and flee to Goguryeo.

The main force of the Sui army has experienced countless battles, has rich experience, and more importantly, their morale is high, the banner of the Bohai Navy and the head of Gao Lie are in front of the team, and they are facing the last army of the Bohai Society that is completely desperate and fighting against the water.

Forty thousand against four thousand, the Sui army had already surrounded the last army.

"Cavalry assault, no mercy!"

Zhang Xuan waved his sword and gave the order to attack, the battlefield was too small to accommodate 40,000 troops to massacre 4,000 people, and 10,000 cavalry was enough!

"Kill!"

10,000 cavalrymen with spears in their hands, galloping towards the 4,000 Bohai naval soldiers, war horses, shouting and killing shook the sky, they were like thousands of hungry steppe wolves pounced on a group of sheep that had no chance to escape.

．．．．．．．

In May of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Zhang Xuan, the general of Qi Guogong and Youyiwei, led 40,000 Sui infantry cavalry to break the 80,000 Bohai Navy in the north of Raoyang County, and killed 25,000 enemies at a small cost of more than 2,000 casualties.

The leader of the Bohai Society, Gao Lie, fled to Goguryeo, and the foundation of the Bohai Society in Hebei was completely uprooted, leaving only a force in the Central Plains led by Gao Hui, but they also quickly disappeared and disappeared.

Two days later, Zhang Xuan's Qingzhou army was under the city of Raoyang County, and Dou Jiande led the civilian and military generals out of the city to surrender. (To be continued.) )
