Gao Zhen and Gao Yannian didn't expect that Liaodong City, which was the coldest city in the Northeast, would fall into the hands of the Sui people like this, and they hadn't received any news before.

If it weren't for the defender of Liaodong City, who was the younger brother of King Gao Yuan, they would definitely be Gao Jianwu to surrender the city to Sui in the future. This is Liaodong City, Goguryeo has been operating for more than 200 years, and I can't believe that such a strong city will be silently attacked. This is to resist the three strong attacks of hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the Great Sui in a row, but the Sui soldiers in front of them continue to surge, so that the two have to believe that Liaodong City is indeed lost.

While cursing Gao Jianwu in his heart for losing the city and letting them step into the trap of the Sui army, Gao Yannian also kept beckoning his own clan soldiers and horses to gather with him on the horse. It's just that the more than 20,000 soldiers and horses of the two have already been cut off into more than a dozen parts by the Sui army, and they have been divided and surrounded.

At present, only the most elite shoe cavalry around the two of them are still beside the two, these two cavalry have always been the aces of the two of them across Liaodong and Liaoxi, at this time in the face of the Sui army's surprise attack, after the initial panic, they quickly reacted.

Under the command of the cavalry officers, groups of dog cavalry began to gather in formation. Gao Yannian and Gao Zhen took the lead, riding a war horse, tǐng the horse lance and shouting. Both of them were rare fierce generals in the Goguryeo Kingdom, and with the command of these two people, the Goguryeo soldiers and horses who were raided and confused began to reorganize their formation.

"Brothers, grab the gates of the city and go out of the city!" Gao Zhen shouted.

The thousands of cavalry gathered together with a part of the army, like a mad dog in a hurry, turned around and killed them towards the south gate.

It was the heavy infantry brigade that was greatly praised by Chen Kefu and other generals in the South Gate City, and there was "a troop separated between the Liao cavalry and their branch."

That was the two infantry regiments of Zhang He's Fourth Division, all of them holding square shields at this time, and groups formed a shield wall between the city gate and the Liao soldiers and horses, and kept slowly squeezing towards the Liao people in the encirclement. tried to compress the Liao soldiers and horses together, so that they did not have room to move.

"It's going to be bad!"

Chen Kefu exclaimed in surprise, the infantry regiment of the Fourth Division was carried out according to the previous study plan. The purpose is to divide and surround the Liao people with a shield array, so that they can form a formation to counterattack. But judging by the current situation on the battlefield, they are moving late.

Gao Yannian, who is higher than Zhen of the Liao people, has a good ability to lead troops, and has an elite cavalry under his command, and the key is that they are now in the broadest area, "The response is also very fast, and the elite cavalry and some infantry have been gathered, ready to rush back and capture the city."

Rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, not to mention that dogs will jump off the wall when they are in a hurry. At present, the Liao people have completely fallen into the trap of the Sui army, and their only way to survive is to turn around and retake the southern city gate, open the city gate, and escape.

It is the instinct of every H to survive, and under this instinct, the combat effectiveness of the Liao army is also very tenacious. At present, the Fourth Division's infantry regiment is following the original plan, and the shield wall is advancing and squeezing the chaotic Liao people's actions, which are obviously not in line with the battlefield situation.

With the impact of thousands of cavalry intact of the Liao people at the moment, "the infantry regiment of the Fourth Division will definitely not be able to withstand the impact of the Liao."

"Luo Lin, raise the flag, let the soldiers of the heavy cavalry brigade attack, contain their assault formation first, as long as you drag them down, things will be easy."

Luo Lin immediately walked to the teahouse and conveyed Chen Kefu's order to a soldier of the Guards Company, who immediately took out two flags and "informed the herald who was ambushed on the roof of the house in the distance according to the flag that had been agreed before, and after the herald received the order, he immediately passed the order to the heavy cavalry brigade behind."

The three thousand cavalrymen of the Heavy Cavalry Brigade, who had been waiting impatiently, jumped on their horses one by one, bowed down, and flat-ended horses, with thunderous hooves, "like messengers rushing out of hell, roaring, collecting their lives one by one."

The hoplite cavalry of this heavy infantry brigade is the only establishment that retains the complete combat strength of the broken barracks after the reorganization. There is not a single recruit in the two regiments of the whole brigade and 3,000 troops, this is the biggest trump card in Chen Kefu's hand, and at the critical moment, he is relied on to determine the situation.

The re-establishment of the broken barracks did not disappoint Chen Kefu, and the heavy cavalry brigade that reorganized the troops would not disappoint him either.

Just as Chen Kefu and others expected, the shield wall of Zhang He's Fourth Division Infantry Regiment could not stop the Liao people's charge at all. With only one charge, the shield wall was broken, like a water curtain, although it was still there, but those fierce and red-eyed Liao people had already penetrated the defense line of the infantry regiment. ,

The first, the second, the third!

Three successive infantry lines were passed through by the Liao. Although the recruits of the infantry regiment had practiced several times before, they did not expect the situation in front of them. In their exercises, they only need to hold the shield physique and wear the shield array. Naturally, there will be crossbowmen and others behind to destroy the enemies in their encirclement. No one told them to face the current situation. What are they going to do.

The distance between life and death is only a line, and these recruits, who have been hastily reorganized into an army and have not yet undergone a few serious trainings, are like sheep that have been broken into by evil wolves. There are those who retreat frantically, and there are those who stand there stupidly with shields. There are also those who pull out the horizontal knife at their waist and rush forward a little stupidly, but few can show the level that a warrior should have.

Those soldiers who were originally just ordinary cavalry in the broken barracks were hurriedly transferred out and promoted to the positions of faint platoon commander, platoon commander, and even some of the good performers were even promoted to company commander. But at this time, in the face of such a scene of defeat in one battle, these officers who had followed Chen Kefu in the past have always been invincible and invincible, and they were also stunned. In the past, they rode their horses and scattered the enemy, but now it was their turn to be scattered by the enemy.

Looking at the soldiers who scattered and retreated, those elite cavalry in the past, and now the rookie officers, one by one shouted loudly, shouting, "Kill, brother!" "With a sword, the soldiers fearlessly faced the Liao soldiers and horses. To say that these people are indeed elites, they are still chaotic when they ride against each other, and the result is basically not wiped out by the Liao people with one blow. Most of them can be among the Liao people, moving left and right, chopping horses, and slashing knights. Even these veterans can form a small formation with veterans who are also from the broken military camp, cutting horses and horses, and chopping knights, which cooperate very well.

Chen Kefu, who was in the teahouse, looked at the chaotic infantry defense line of the Fourth Division, the infantry soldiers who were at a loss, and the grassroots officers of the infantry regiment who rushed left and right, and killed the blood, and there was no half of joy on their faces, but their faces were getting darker and darker.

Li Jie smiled a little playfully, "These soldiers selected by the general to serve as low-level officers in each division are really brave men." You see, in the face of the edge of the Liao people, there is no one who retreats, and they can still fight so well. Three in a group, two in a group, those Liao people are not opponents at all. Oh, you see, the officer who just got off his horse and killed seems to be quite a small officer. ”

Chen Kefu did not respond to Li Jie's ridicule, and the situation in this column was both expected and unexpected. For a newly reorganized army, the behavior of the recruits below is normal, because they are just farmers, and it is only a short time before they pick up swords. What really displeased Chen Kefu was the brave officers who went too far.

He has high hopes for these people, and he is counting on these people to be the backbone, to take on the heavy responsibility of all divisions, regiments and battalions, and to build these tens of thousands of people into elite divisions like broken barracks.

It's just that now it seems that these people are very qualified as warriors, and in the face of powerful enemies, none of them retreated, and they fought remarkably, with a good record. But if you look at them as officers, it is a great disappointment for him.

At this time, these people completely forgot their status as officers, and completely left their subordinates out of the clouds. One by one, they were armed with horizontal knives and spears, and they completely regarded themselves as ordinary infantrymen.

"Luo Cup, give an order to General Zhang He, let his fourth division retreat and regroup, and let the general's heavy cavalry brigade contain the onslaught of the Liao. Then inform the heavy infantry brigade to prepare, and you must guard the south gate for me, and not a single one is allowed to go out. Also, let the light cavalry brigade that you ambush outside the city go out to surround the Liao people who remained outside the city, and not one of them is allowed to escape. ”

If the Fourth Division fights like this, it is impossible to report any hope, and if it continues to fight, although those rookie officers who are fighting are very unqualified, these people are the precious wealth of the entire army, and he can't let them be consumed in this meaningless ambush like this.

Zhang He, who received the order, turned red. Today was his first battle as the commander of the Fourth Division, but the result was a mess. More than 10,000 men and horses, but the Liao people broke through the defense line very easily, especially the squad and platoon leaders who did everything they could in front of all the troops.

"Pass my order, let all the men and horses of the Fourth Division retreat, give way to the defensive line, retreat to both sides, and re-assemble on Nancheng Street." After the order was passed down, Zhang He was still annoyed and said, "These damn brainless fools, when this battle is over, everyone will have to teach a good lesson." ”

The platoon commanders of the Fourth Division who received the order were still a little unhappy, and they were being killed, why did they ask them to withdraw, this is not the tradition of our barracks. However, after being kicked a few times directly by the battalion commanders who came to issue the order, they immediately became honest one by one, shouting at each of them to shout the brothers they knew, leaving the Liao people, and taking the injured brothers to withdraw to the streets on both sides. @。
