Seeing that the encirclement of the Goryeo people was torn open by the impact of Li Xian with the cavalry, when he was only about 100 meters away from the men and horses of Ezhi Wende, Li Xian immediately made a gesture, and the soldiers behind blew the horn, and the cavalry team of more than 3,000 people rushed out to the side with a gorgeous turn of Li Xian's big black horse. Such a sudden turn in the high-speed impact of such a cavalry is extremely demanding on the cavalry's horse technology, and it is obvious that although the cavalry of the Great Sui is absolutely not comparable to the Turks on the steppe in terms of scale, the skill of controlling the horse is no worse than that of the steppe people.

The team of more than 3,000 people made a beautiful arc, turned in front of the Goguryeo guns, and then killed them in the cracks that had opened in the encirclement.

"Don't rush to cross the river! Don't go too fast, let the Koreans chase after you! ”

Li Xian turned around and said to Dugu Zhen.

Dugu Zhen nodded, he knew what Li Xian meant. Using cavalry to storm back and forth to tear open the encirclement is actually not a too superb tactic, and the soldiers of the Great Sui are well-trained, so it is not difficult to complete such an abrupt turn. Dugu Zhen also thought of this method before, he was born in the Great Sui family, and the education he received since he was a child was far from being comparable to that of the children of the poor family. Whether it is the art of war or personal martial arts, although Dugu Zhen is not the best in the Dugu family, he is a famous figure in the younger generation, so because of this, he admires Li Xian, who was born in a poor family, but what makes him appreciate it even more is Li Xian's previous words.

He had already torn open the gap but did not rush out in a hurry, but led the Koreans to catch up.

This is an idea that only a madman can think of, but it is obvious that as long as the Goguryeo people are fooled, the tens of thousands of Goryeo people who are chasing after them will be led by the nose by the cavalry of the Great Sui.

The herald sounded his horn, and the Great Sui's lightly armored elite cavalry began to slow down a little. Sure enough, the angry Etozhi Wende immediately mobilized men and horses to chase after him.

In this way, in order to chase Li Xian, the siege of the Koreans began to slowly divide into two pieces. Most of them were still besieging the scattered soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion, and a team of about sixty or seventy thousand people split up to pursue the cavalry led by Li Xian from both sides. The separation of the encirclement allowed some of the Great Sui soldiers to be killed, and they began to break through in the direction of the large group led by Xue Wanche.

The entire southern bank of Sashui was killed within more than ten miles, and the Sui army, which had lost its command, subconsciously leaned towards a place with many people, and only where the battle flag of the Great Sui could still flutter, they would feel a trace of safety.

The infantry led by Xue Wanche has snowballed nearly 20,000 defeated troops, and after the iron wolf told Xue Wanche what Li Xian said, Xue Wanche gritted his teeth and nodded, ordering the army to break through to the north bank of Sashui.

At this time, among the cavalry brought by the iron wolf, dozens of people suddenly began to shout: "General Yan has sent people to cross the river to find Marshal Yuwen, brothers go to the north bank of the river to kill, Marshal Yuwen will send someone to meet us!" ”

At first, only a few dozen people shouted, and then the other cavalry followed suit, and the cavalry of more than a thousand people galloped back and forth to cheer up the infantry, and it didn't take long for the whole team to know the news. For a while, the morale of the soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion was completely aroused by this hope, and the crowd began to boil.

"Do you hear that? General Yan has already sent people to cross the river, and General Yuwenshu has promised to send troops to meet us! ”

"Rush forward, brothers, and you will be joined by the army as soon as you cross the river!"

"Marshal Yuwen didn't leave us, General Yanyun of Zuotunwei has already sent someone to cross the river to ask him to meet us!"

The soldiers roared excitedly, and their eyes were full of survival.

Xue Wanche looked at the iron wolf in surprise and asked, "Yan Yun has really sent someone to ask Marshal Yuwen to return to the army to rescue?" Marshal Yuwen agreed? ”

The Iron Wolf nodded and said, "General Yan has already sent someone to cross the river to ask Marshal Yuwen." ”

Xue Wanche sighed and said, "I'm afraid that asking is in vain, you shouldn't let people shout." If the brothers had managed to cross the river, but there were no reinforcements at all, they were afraid that their morale would immediately drop. At this time, our people can no longer withstand the blow. ”

"How is that possible!"

The iron wolf pretended to be surprised and said: "Our General Yan came back from the north shore with men and horses after consulting Marshal Yuwen, and now that he has gathered so many soldiers, will Marshal Yuwen leave us alone?" ”

Xue Wanche smiled bitterly: "If he is willing to take care of it, how can you General Yan need to shout in the army by yourself?" Look at it, except for the three soldiers of the Folding Battalion under Yan Yun, how many of them came back with you to save people? Yan Yun is still too young, and the things in officialdom ...... He doesn't understand! Yuwen Shu will not send someone to answer us! The men and horses left on the south side of the river are already his abandoned sons, and the only role is to stop the pursuit of the Koreans for a while! ”

He glanced at the iron fang wolf and said, "Do you know why Yuwenshu didn't stop your General Yan from crossing the river to save people?" Don't say that Marshal Yuwenshu won't abandon his soldiers, don't say what kind of benevolence, morality, or nonsense comrades, the reason why he asked you General Yan to bring people back is just to let Yan Yun rush back and forth a few more times and block the Goryeo people one more time! Those of us who came back are the same, we are all outcasts! ”

He laughed bitterly, "So, you shouldn't have let people shout those words." ”

The Iron Wolf looked terrified and said, "So what now?" ”

"What else can I do?"

Although Xue Wanche's surname is straight, he is also from a family after all, although the Xue family is not as good as the Yuwen family and the Dugu family, after all, he has seen too many tricks and tricks since he was a child. If he is willing to calm down and think carefully about the problem, he is actually not stupid than anyone else! It's just that this person's surname is too straightforward and his temper is too anxious, so he is too rough for the relatively calm Xue Wanjun.

Xue Wanche waved his hand and said, "While the soldiers are in full swing now, hurry up and cross the river." As for the crossing of the river... We'll talk about it then! ”

The iron wolf hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll take the cavalry to rush first, general, you lead the team to follow, and after killing the river, I'll take someone to pick up General Yan." ”

Xue Wanche thought for a while and shook his head and said: "The advantage of the cavalry in the river can't be brought into play, you take people to meet on the flank, and I will personally select the elite infantry to open the way!" ”

"Not necessarily!"

Xiong Kuohai stood in front of Xue Wanche's horse and said: "I have been ordered by General Yan to come to help the general cross the river, and ask the general to send a thousand elite infantry to me, and I will guarantee that I can open a bloody road!" ”

……

……

Yu Wenshu rushed forward all the way under the protection of his own soldiers, and after crossing the river, he found that during the time of negotiations with the Goguryeo people, Eulji Wende had taken the opportunity to mobilize so many horses. He always thought that although the Great Sui Expeditionary Force ran out of food, its luck could not help but be outrageous. First of all, Gao Yuan himself sent him to sue for peace, during which Yizhi Wende did not attack the Sui army, which made Yuwenshu very happy, and he said more than once that Gao Yuan and Yizhi Wende were idiots or something like that. But now it seems that the contempt for the enemy on the battlefield often brings a huge blow.

Yu Wenshu sighed, remembering that when the young man named Yan Yun stopped in front of his war horse before, that kind of momentum even impressed him. It's a pity that young people are still too inexperienced after all. At that time, he still wanted to kill back, and only a person from a humble family like him would have such courage.

Yu Wenshu smiled self-deprecatingly, and couldn't remember the last time he took the same impulsive killing back to save his comrades. There seems to be such a time when I was young and enthusiastic in my memory, but now even the memory has been blurred.

Am I old?

Yu Wenshu couldn't help but think.

I'm old, but Da Sui isn't old yet!

He comforted himself and thought that the Great Sui had only been founded for more than 20 years, and it was the time to be full of vitality! Which dynasty in history was able to launch an expedition of millions of people? On the bank of the Liaoshui River, His Majesty pointed to the east bank of the Liaoshui River and asked what place it was, how strong was the fighting spirit of the soldiers?

But...... It's only been half a year, what's going on?

At this time, he, Yu Zhongwen and others, under the protection of their own soldiers, had already left the brigade far behind. Since the passage of the horses, the army began to limit the supply of food and grass, only the general's personal soldiers still ensure that they have enough food three times a day, and only the war horses of these personal soldiers still have enough forage. Eight generals, nearly 3,000 personal soldiers, this is the first camp of the Sui army to flee, and behind them, there are the soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion who are completely out of the queue like herding sheep.

The generals had already run first, and although the team behind had crossed the river, they were all outcasts. On the north bank of Sashui, there were also countless Goryeo people chasing after them, and those people from the small Goryeo tribes who had fled far away when they saw the soldiers of the Great Sui Prefecture now dared to attack the retreating Sui army with a few hundred or more than a thousand people. And the saddest thing is that the 200,000 soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion who crossed the river didn't even have the slightest room for resistance!

Countless Goguryeo people poured in from all directions, and they were like packs of wild wolves, constantly pounced on and gnawed at the retreating Sui army. And this hungry elephant has no strength to resist in the face of crisis. Although it still looks strong, there is no doubt that it is running out of energy.

Those in the first camp of the Sui army who retreated and fled all knew what the outcome would be for the comrades left behind. They have been without food for many days, and a bowl of gruel a day does not replenish much physical strength at all. And those Goguryeo people who have been waiting here for a long time are also hungry, but what they are hungry for is not their belly, but **.

Yu Wenshu was surprised why he was so calm at this time. He couldn't help but look back at Yu Zhongwen and the others, as well as Liu Shilong, whose face was pale but still gritted his teeth and galloped wildly.

Except for Liu Shilong, who was frightened, it seemed that the faces of Yu Zhongwen, Xue Shixiong, Zhang Jin, Jing Yuanheng and others were not unusual, and the calm was unimaginable!

Oh, yes......

Yu Wenshu sighed in his heart, he knew why.

Because, even if these people are defeated and flee back, because of the huge strength of their own family, I am afraid that His Majesty will not easily make any excessive decisions. As long as they find two substitutes for the dead, this matter is actually ...... for them and themselves It's nothing. That's right, this expedition will lose the most elite 300,000 soldiers of the Great Sui and shake the foundation of the Great Sui, but does this have anything to do with them? Those soldiers are the soldiers of the Great Sui, the soldiers of His Majesty, not their soldiers.

As for the substitute ghosts

Yu Wenshu has already had a candidate in his heart.

When the general of Zuotunwei Xin Shixiong broke off, he retreated first in fear of battle, causing the army to fall into a heavy siege. This reason, in any case, is still justified.

As for the others...... Yu Wenshu glanced at Liu Shilong, whose face was pale, and sneered in his heart.

……

……

"The Goguryeo people blocked the northern shore!"

"The north side of Sasu is also full of Goguryeo people! In the air! ”

"What about reinforcements? What about the reinforcements sent by Marshal Yuwen? ”

"Didn't General Yan send someone to ask for reinforcements! Where are the reinforcements? ”

"Oh my God! We were deceived by Yuwenshu! ”

"There are no reinforcements...... It's all fucking a lie! ”

The team that was suppressed by the Koreans and struggled to move forward in the river, the closer they got to the north bank, the closer they got to the truth. Xue Wanche watched the team gradually lose the courage to continue to rush forward, and infinite sadness also appeared in his heart. Yu Wenshu left, and he knew from the beginning that he would not send someone back. The north bank of the river is also hell, it turned out to be ...... The team that crossed the river was also an outcast for Yuwenshu and them.

And what about yourself?

Will my father send someone to pick him up?

The 20,000 soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion who had finally gathered with great difficulty found that there were no reinforcements at all. The north shore was full of Goguryeo, and the pursuers behind had already surrounded them again. The river is in front of you, but ...... Is crossing the river really a way to live?

This river?

Do you still need to get through it?
