The fierce battle between the Sui army and the Goguryeo army was indeed a little difficult, after all, the Goguryeo army had a great advantage in numbers, and they were also the last elite of Goguryeo, and their combat effectiveness was very strong.

Although the Goguryeo cavalry suffered heavy losses in the first attack, the numerical superiority of the Goguryeo army gradually became apparent as both armies were fully engaged in the battle.

Jang Xuan's spear army was the first to be attacked by hundreds of Goguryeo cavalry, and the Goguryeo cavalry charged like a sea of mountains, and hundreds of spears with the galloping power of war horses stabbed at the army formation from all directions.

Nine hundred Sui soldiers lined up in a three-cornered spear formation, resisting the first wave of Goguryeo cavalry with a collective force.

"Boom!" A huge wave, like a stormy wave, blood splashed, more than a dozen cavalrymen were pierced through the body by dense spears like a forest, their bodies left the war horses, and were raised in the air by spears, letting out a terrible scream.

But dozens of Sui soldiers were knocked to the ground, but the spear soldiers in the back row immediately stepped forward to make up for it.

The main general Zhang Xuan roared, and the black and shiny green dragon halberd slashed down obliquely, and the sharp halberd blade slashed a cavalry centurion and his horse out, and the blood burst out, the human head rolled down, and the pungent blood gas rushed to his face.

The Goguryeo cavalry saw that Zhang Xuan was extremely fierce, ∟▼ shouted together, dozens of cavalry surrounded him, Chen Xu not far away was shocked, and hurriedly led troops to rescue, Zhang Xuan saw his intention at a glance, and shouted: "Captain Chen, don't act rashly!" ”

Chen Xu suddenly woke up, the spear array is integrated, if there is a gap, it will be quickly broken by the cavalry, they will be defeated, he saw that the main general did not fall behind, a heart was slightly lowered, and continued to lead his men in the northwest corner to resist the attack of nearly a hundred cavalry.

Jang Hyun was in good spirits. The halberd danced through wind and rain, fighting more than 30 cavalry, and did not fall behind at all.

The more he fought, the more courageous he became, and where the halberd passed, he killed the enemy cavalry on their backs, and instantly broke out of the encirclement. He turned back and went in.

In just a moment, most of the more than 30 cavalrymen were killed and wounded, and the remaining dozen or so were so frightened that they fled one after another.

"The general saves us!" Suddenly, there were shouts for help from his subordinates in the southwest.

When Zhang Xuan heard the prestige, he saw that the situation in the southwest corner was very critical, more than 100 enemy cavalry besieged the southwest corner, and his men suffered heavy casualties, and there was a large gap in the width of the zhang, and the enemy cavalry was about to break through the military formation.

Jang Xuan shouted. Urging the horses to rush up, they smashed into the enemy's cavalry group, and the halberd swept through, and only a 'click!' Seven or eight spear shafts were cut off by halberd blades, Zhang Xuan swept with a halberd with his right hand, drew his knife with his left hand and slashed, and killed five or six cavalrymen in an instant.

Dozens of Goguryeo cavalry retreated in fright. The danger in the southwest corner was immediately resolved, and here was the defensive front of the 3rd Regiment. Zhang Xuan didn't see Captain Yan Ping, turned around and asked, "Where is Captain Yan?" ”

Brigade Marshal Du Yunsi said gloomily: "Back to General, Captain Yan has unfortunately died!" ”

Zhang Xuan also saw Yan Ping's corpse, and felt sad for a while, but now that the situation was critical, he had no time to grieve the deceased. He immediately ordered Du Yunsi: "From now on, you are the captain of the third regiment, and you are responsible for it here!" ”

"Obey the order!"

Du Yunsi hurriedly bowed and saluted, he turned around and shouted, "Brother in the back, come up for me immediately to fill the gap." ”

He commanded his soldiers to quickly fill the gap in the southwest corner. Back in the fight.

At this moment, hundreds of cavalry gathered around a general with a large axe in his hand and a silver helmet on his head galloped from a distance, which was the arrival of the cavalry commander Da Ka'an.

He saw Zhang Xuan brave and fierce from a distance, and wherever he wielded his halberd, the cavalry were frightened and pulled out their horses and fled, and he was suddenly furious in his heart, and said to the left and right: "This person is not dead, my cavalry is restless!" ”

He urged his horse to gallop from the side and shouted, "Sui will die!" He swung a fifty-pound axe and slashed at the back of Zhang Xuan's neck, the horse was as fast as lightning, and the momentum was extremely fierce.

Zhang Xuan sneered, and waved his halberd unhurriedly to meet the battle, and the halberd head slammed into the axe blade, just listening to 'dang! With a loud bang, his halberd and the sharp axe collided heavily, and the sharp axe was suddenly shocked and flew out, Da He'an's arms seemed to be broken, and he turned around and fled with a shout, Zhang Xuan shouted, "Leave Er's life!"

His war horse was fast, and he caught up with Da He'an in a moment, the long halberd stabbed like lightning, Da He'an couldn't dodge, and was pierced through the back of the heart by Zhang Xuan's halberd, Da He'an screamed, and was killed immediately, Zhang Xuan cut off his head with a knife, raised the head high in the air, and shouted to the hundreds of Goguryeo cavalry around him and asked: "Who is still coming to fight with me Zhang Xuan?" ”

At this time, hundreds of Goguryeo cavalry had been killed by Zhang Xuan, and in their eyes, this fierce Sui army general was undoubtedly the rebirth of the killing god, and even their cavalry commander died under his halberd.

Despite the language barrier and the cavalry did not know what he was talking about, everyone was frightened by him, let out a shout, scattered and fled, and Zhang Xuan's spear formation was the first to kill the enemy.

Zhang Xuan threw the head to a soldier, "Quickly go and report to the deputy marshal, the commander of the enemy cavalry has been killed by me, and the enemy cavalry is no longer worried." ”

The soldier turned over and rode a war horse and ran towards the left wing commander, when a soldier led Ogaan's war horse and said with a smile: "General, this is a BMW." ”

Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up, he had never seen such a strong war horse, half a head taller than the horse he was riding, Zhang Xuan immediately smiled and nodded, "This is my trophy, take it for me!" ”

When Zhou Fashang heard that the 16th Battalion led by Zhang Xuan had defeated the siege of the enemy cavalry and killed the cavalry commander, he was overjoyed, and the situation of the 7th Battalion was critical, and he really couldn't spare his troops to rescue.

Zhou Fashang took out an arrow and handed it to the soldier and said: "Quickly go and tell General Zhang that I have written down his merits, and now the situation of the seventh battalion is critical, and he has come to ask for help three times, and ask him to lead the headquarters to rescue quickly." ”

Zhou Fashang pointed to the north, "The seventh battalion is in the northernmost part, the situation is critical, go quickly!" ”

"Obey!"

Zhang Xuan's subordinates took the order and urged the horses to run towards the location of their army, Zhou Fashang looked at the cavalry running away, and he secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that Zhang Xuan's rescue could save the seventh battalion in time.

Jang Xuan was helping the wounded with his men, who had killed more than 100 people and wounded dozens more. There were only 800 people left who could fight, and his heart was gloomy, and he led 1,100 soldiers to Liaodong, but 300 people had been killed or wounded.

However, in the battle with the enemy cavalry, they gained a lot, and they captured more than 300 war horses. A cavalry detachment was formed temporarily.

At this time, the soldier urged the horse to gallop back, handed the arrow to Zhang Xuan and said: "General Qiyu, Vice Marshal Zhou has taken credit, he ordered us to immediately go to the rescue of the seventh battalion, the seventh battalion has asked for help three times, and the situation is very critical." ”

"Where is the 7th Battalion?" Jang Hyun stood up and asked.

The soldier pointed to the north, "Deputy Marshal Zhou said in the northernmost direction!" ”

Zhang Xuan turned over and looked north. Seeing that the battle on the northernmost battlefield was fierce, and a Sui army was under-strengthened, and the situation was very passive, Zhang Xuan immediately waved his hand, "Everyone come with me!" ”

More than 800 soldiers followed him and rushed north through the fierce fighting front.

The seventh battalion was an archery brigade from the Youzhou Army, about 2,500 men, led by the tooth general Liao Yansi. They played a huge role in defending the first wave against the Goguryeo cavalry offensive.

But as the two armies entered hand-to-hand combat, the advantage of archers disappeared. They also transformed into a sword and shield army, but were attacked by the Goguryeo army's 5,000 spear army.

The two armies fought fiercely for more than an hour, and the seventh battalion was outnumbered, and had asked the main general of the left wing, Zhou Fashang, for advice three times, at this time the main general Liao Yansi was seriously wounded and dying.

The 7th Battalion suffered heavy casualties. In the face of the ferocious attack of thousands of Goguryeo troops, they put up desperately and held on, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

But their formation had been crushed, and the formation was very chaotic. Seeing that they were about to be unable to support it, there was a sudden chaos behind the Goguryeo army, and I saw a Sui army coming from behind, tearing the Goguryeo army open a big hole in an instant.

Zhang Xuan took the lead, he was covered in blood, wielding a halberd left and right slashing, brave and abnormal, the Goguryeo soldiers died next to each other, touched and died, he killed the corpses all over the ground, the blood flowed like a river, the Goguryeo soldiers were all terrified, and when they saw him wielding their halberds to kill, they turned around and fled.

The eight hundred spear-strapped Sui army followed him, and they were like an incomparably sharp fist, slashing the tight Goguryeo Great Array in two.

When the soldiers of the 7th Battalion saw the arrival of reinforcements, their morale was greatly boosted, and they killed the enemy troops surrounding them one after another, and the scattered soldiers quickly gathered together again and gradually resumed their formation.

The Goguryeo army was in chaos, and when the main general saw the arrival of Sui reinforcements and suffered heavy losses, he also had no intention of fighting, shouted a few words, and led the army to withdraw to the east.

"General Liao is here?" Jang Xuan ran to the soldiers of the seventh battalion and asked loudly.

Several of Liao Yansi's personal soldiers separated everyone and walked out of the crowd carrying a stretcher, Zhang Xuan hurriedly turned over and dismounted, seeing that Liao Yansi was covered in blood, his intestines were exposed, he was hit by several spears, fatally wounded in the chest, and was dying, Zhang Xuan held his hand and asked in a low voice: "General Liao, can you still hold on?" ”

Liao Yansi shook his head slightly, he pointed around with difficulty, and said in an extremely low voice: "Bring them back to the Central Plains, please Zhang-"

Zhang Xuan sighed, stood up and said to everyone: "General Liao has died, may the deceased rest in peace, but the war continues, from now on, I am your commander, all the brothers obey my command, I will do everything in my power to let everyone go back alive!" ”

"I am willing to listen to the command of General Zhang!" The remaining soldiers of the 7th Battalion shouted in unison.

Zhang Xuan nodded, and immediately began to reorganize the seventh battalion army, the seventh battalion suffered heavy casualties, most of the 2,500 people had been killed and wounded, only less than 1,000 remained, and all five captains were killed.

Zhang Xuan reorganized the 7th Battalion into three regiments and promoted three brigade commanders with high martial arts skills to lieutenants, making up for the lack of generals in each regiment and quickly restoring them to a fighting force.

At this time, the battlefield was very chaotic, the battle line was too long, and the battalions had gradually lost their unified command, and they fought with the enemy in their own formations.

Zhang Xuan turned over his horse, put up the curtain and looked around, thinking about the next place to fight, at this time, he suddenly found the main military flag of Goguryeo, only five hundred steps away from them, the military flag stood in the air, very eye-catching, there should be the enemy commander's garrison.

Courage ignited in Jang Hyun's heart, and he turned back and shouted to all the soldiers, "Would you like to go with me to capture the flag?" ”

The morale of the soldiers was boosted and they shouted in unison, "I want to follow the general!" ”

With a wave of his halberd, Jae-hyun led more than 1,700 soldiers to kill where the Goguryeo military flag was
