Chapter 31: A Thought of Hell

(Thank you for your good ~ come to KS 1 and Li Luoqing's reward, Brother Jiang Hai is powerful, and Sister Cat is mighty!) )

The wind howled overhead, the horses neighed in their ears, and mountains of spears waved around.

The valley where the Goguryeo 3,000 cavalry was hiding had already become a hell by this time. The 3,000 cavalry of the Goguryeo people was ordered by the Goguryeo general Ulji Wendeok to prepare for the 80,000 Goguryeo army to raid the vanguard of Chen Kefu's camp. In the evening, after finding out the news of Chen Kefu's camp, they hid in a valley, preparing to wait for the rendezvous army, when the 80,000 army broke through Chen Kefu's camp in one fell swoop, and rescued the nearly 20,000 captured Goguryeo soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians.

In order to conserve his strength, the forward general pulled his troops to this valley, and except for a few people who were put on guard, the rest of the people slept in preparation for a surprise attack on Chen Kefu's camp in the middle of the night. According to his thoughts, Chen Kefu only had the 3,000 cavalry, not to mention that he would not find out the whereabouts of the others at all, even if he knew, they could only hide in the camp and not come out, so how could they dare to take the initiative to attack.

It's just that when Gai Suding, the commander of the Goguryeo forwards who was awakened by the sound of shouting in his sleep, looked at the cavalry rushing everywhere, and looked at the forward cavalry who had not even had time to put on their armor and had not yet found their horses, and they had just crawled out of the camp tent and were stabbed to the ground with a spear, he still didn't believe everything in front of him. The Sui army is really here, is this the guy who broke through their new city again?

He didn't have time to think about it, he shouted out to his own soldiers, and in a hurry, he didn't have time to dress in armor, and only rode a war horse with a big sword bare, constantly rushing back and forth, hoping to gather the soldiers who were scattered in a panic who were killed by the Sui army again. However, in the era of cold weapons, it was attacked by a cavalry at night, and it had successfully scattered those soldiers in all directions, and it was difficult to gather them again. Gai Suding rushed to kill for a long time, and found that not only did the people around him not increase, but became fewer and fewer, and more and more Sui cavalry had already targeted him.

Gao Liang was surrounded by dozens of horsemen, sitting quietly on his horse and watching the three thousand Goguryeo cavalry fall one by one, wiping the blood splashed on his face when he rushed to kill before. Gao Liang's face smiled like a flower, and he succeeded, he finally succeeded. A thousand men managed to sneak up on three thousand Goguryeo cavalry, and they were completely victorious, without paying many casualties at all. Thinking of the reward from His Majesty the Emperor when he returned to Liaodong tomorrow, he couldn't help but feel his blood boiling. What Chen Kefu is, it's just shit luck, a fierce general like him can't still make such a great achievement.

"General, there are quite a few Goguryeo soldiers who have abandoned their weapons, have you captured them?" A petty officer asked as he rode up to Gao Liang's side.

Gao Liang looked at the fewer and fewer Goguryeo cavalry in the valley in front of him, shook his head and said, "Kill them all, don't leave any of them, we have to rush back to Liaodong City in a while, taking these people will only get in the way, everyone remember to put away the flags, heads, and war horses of the Goguryeo people." ”

When he saw that the officer was about to turn around and leave, he hurriedly said, "By the way, I captured the naked enemy chief alive, this guy is a general after all, and he may be able to exchange some rewards for bringing him back." ”

Although it was a great victory in front of him, Gao Liang forgot about it without being proud, he knew that there might be Goguryeo people and horses nearby, and they had to fight quickly now, and the sooner they returned to Liaodong City, the safer it would be. This is a great achievement, and he must have the life to return to the city of Liaodong, otherwise where will the reward come from.

The sound of horses' hooves interrupted Gao Liang's thoughts, and in the darkness he saw a group of cavalry rushing towards the valley with torches. Behind that, there seemed to be a louder sound of horses' hooves.

In an instant, the first dozens of horsemen had already come to Gao Liang's side, and the first was Yu Wenhua, who was defending outside the valley. At this time, Yu Wenhua and his face were already as white as paper, even the helmet on his head had fallen off, and his hair was still scattered, and he was indescribably embarrassed.

"General Gao, it's not good, Goguryeo's brigade is here, and there are at least tens of thousands of horses. The brothers can't stop it, they have already retreated into the valley, General Gao quickly dispatched people to block the valley, otherwise today, it will be the time when you and I die. ”

It's not that Yu Wenhua didn't think about running away with the people alone, but there were too many Goguryeo people coming, and they were coming quickly, and when they found out, there was no way to escape, but to retreat into the valley.

Gao Liang's face also turned blue all of a sudden, it was like falling from heaven to hell in an instant. A second ago, they rushed into the valley and killed the Goguryeo people in the valley, but now they immediately changed in time and became them blocked in the valley. However, although Gao Liang was stunned for a moment, he was also a general of a hundred battles, and immediately reacted.

"Queue, give me to defend the mouth of the valley, the archers prepare, the cavalry dismount and line up the spear formation, and the rest give me the speed to clear the Goguryeo people in the valley, hurry up. Then cut down a big tree for me and block it at the mouth of the valley to prevent the cavalry from rushing in. The only way to do this is to defend to the death, believing that it won't be long before reinforcements will come to save us. As long as we hold on, today's great achievement of annihilating 3,000 Goguryeo cavalry will not be able to escape you. Gao Liang stood on the horse and issued orders loudly, although the cavalry was also a little flustered, but everyone also understood the situation at this time, and they all began to get busy.

Yu Wenhua had no time to sort out his embarrassed appearance at this time, glared at Gao Liang fiercely, and said, "General Gao, didn't you say that this matter is foolproof?" How did it come to this? ”

Gao Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Childe, things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee 100%. But don't panic, Childe, I think the enemy is all cavalry, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. This valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only one exit, and the Goguryeo people have no other way but to attack from here. And although these cavalry were powerful in the field, they all came to attack Chen Kefu's camp, so although there were many people, there were no infantry and all kinds of equipment. Therefore, as long as I defend this valley with giant trees and bows and arrows, the Goguryeo people will definitely not be able to attack for a while. Don't forget, whether it is the Chen Kefu camp dozens of miles away, or the Liaodong camp where His Majesty is located, or the new city of General Pei, it is not far from here. As long as we hold on for one day at most, and as soon as the army arrives tomorrow, we will be fine, and then we may be able to fight the Goguryeo people with the reinforcements, and then we will add the 3,000 Goguryeo cavalry we killed tonight, which will be a great achievement. ”

For Gao Liang, tonight's scene is nothing more than a trivial matter. After so many years in the army, he has encountered more things than this hundred times more dangerous, and he is confident that he can defend this valley with a thousand men in his hands, for a general, the current scene makes his blood boil.

However, Yu Wenhua is not a general, he is just a gentleman. Guy, I also feel that this is a risk-free, profitable business, who knows that I will be in danger now. There is a way that is the son of a daughter, and he can't sit down, a person like him has usually experienced today's scene. I can't help but hate Gao Liang in my heart, and I plan to make this Gao Liang look good as soon as I return to Liaodong City.

At this time, he couldn't help but feel that Chen Kefu was better, if he listened to Chen Kefu and stayed in the camp honestly, how could there be such a thing today.

"General Gao, I have already sent a team of men and horses to break through to Chen Pojun just now, but I don't know if Chen Pojun will send someone to rescue me."

Gao Liang smiled bitterly in his heart after hearing this, Chen Pojun now has only 3,000 people in his hands, and he has to guard a big battalion, where to send someone to beg them, but he still smiled and said, "Lord Pojun is also our old man Zuo Yiwei, now that the son is in trouble, he will wave his horse to save him after hearing it." Childe, you go to the back tent to rest first, leave this matter to me, you can sleep well, and everything will be fine when you wake up tomorrow. ”

At this time, after half a day of emergency reinforcement of defense, Chen Pojun's camp can be said to have become a temporary fortification, and they have sufficient defensive equipment to make the entire camp impregnable. Outside the fence of the big camp were several trenches, and then there were countless small pits for defending against cavalry, and then there were all kinds of horses and antlers. Inside the fence was just a second line of defense surrounded by a circle of chariots and horses, and behind it were rows of trebuchets, heavy weapons such as bed crossbows, and even fire oil and other things were also prepared, which were originally used by the Goguryeo people to deal with the Sui army in the new city, but now they are all used to prepare against the Goguryeo themselves.

The folk began to re-divide into teams, and all those who knew how to bow and arrow distributed bows and arrows to form a queue of archers, ready to saturate the attacking Goguryeo, and there were many arrows anyway. The rest of the stout men who could not bow and arrow were all given spears and formed spear teams, which were arranged in displays and waited behind the fence. As for the men who did not know how to bow and arrow, and were not very stout, they were all given shields, which served as the first line of defense, and provided cover for the archers and spearmen behind.

As for Chen Kefu's broken military camp, it was used as a mobile force, and where there was a tight situation, these 3,000 cavalry would be killed. In the end, Chen Kefu deliberately selected 2,000 of the most brave and stout people, these people were equipped with small shields, crossbows, spears, scimitars, and each of them was equipped with a war horse, these people were the last reserves. As a Chen Kefu who also has a lot of theoretical knowledge and has learned a lot of experience from the old man Li Benlei, he naturally understands that when it is critical, the rational use of a reserve can change a battle, or even a war.

Looking at the big camp in front of him, Chen Kefu was full of infinite pride, and now he still wished that those Goguryeo people would attack, as long as they were willing to come, then this would become a meat grinder for the Goguryeo people. And they relied on such a large camp, believing that they could not only hold the big camp, but also deal a severe blow to the Goguryeo people. Let those Goguryeo people see what is the strongest army in the world.

It's a new week again, everyone voted for the recommendation to rush to the list, this Wednesday Jiang, and now the seventeenth place on the new book list, not far from being on the list, let's push the brothers.
