Chapter 517: The Battle of Xuancheng (Part II)
On the north bank of Qingshui Creek, the fierce battle continued, the Goguryeo cavalry who had no way to escape were divided into several large pieces by the surging Tang Dynasty infantry, under the trampling of men and horses, the corpses were all over the field, and the blood and water that flowed out dyed half of Qingshui Creek into a shocking red, Gao Rufeng, the commander of the Goguryeo cavalry, saw that the situation was not good, roared hoarsely, fought hard, and tried to gather the scattered team into a group, how could it be that in the face of the fierce offensive of the Tang army, all this was useless and futile, seeing that the situation had reached the point of no return, Gao Rufeng had to completely give up the abacus of revitalizing, led more than a dozen personal guards to fight out of the encirclement, and tried to escape, but unfortunately he had just killed the encirclement of the Tang army and ran into Lin Chenghe head-on.
"Kill!" Gao Rufeng didn't recognize Lin Chenghe's identity, but as soon as he saw him wearing bright light armor and a red robe, he knew that Lin Chenghe was a general in the army.
"Look for death!" Lin Chenghe had long been paying attention to Gao Rufeng's actions, as soon as he saw that he was trying to break through, Pegasus rushed to intercept him, and at this time he saw Gao Rufeng rushing towards himself, Lin Chenghe snorted contemptuously, and the horse lance in his hand swung, and a horse accelerated to meet it, and the horses on both sides were fast, and they had collided head-on in a short time.
"Look at the guns!" When the two horses intersected, Gao Rufeng took the lead, but when he heard Gao Rufeng roar, his hands and wrists shook, and he slammed hard, and the horse lance in his hand stabbed straight out, straight to Lin Chenghe's chest.
Lin Chenghe didn't even look at the long horse lance that Gao Rufeng killed, he turned sideways lightly, let go of the tip of the gun, and then roared: "Tide! The sound was like thunder, and when he landed, Gao Rufeng trembled, and before he could change his moves, he saw Lin Chenghe holding a gun in one hand, and under a stab, the cold light and glittering tip had already hit Gao Rufeng's throat.
"Ahh Gao Rufeng didn't expect Lin Chenghe's snatch to come so quickly, it was too late to block, and he hurriedly turned his head to the right, and finally let go of the tip of the gun, but the dodging action was a little more violent, and the center of gravity of the whole person was immediately unstable, and he fell straight to the right.
"Let's go down." Lin Chenghe took advantage of the intersection of the two horses, and with a long body and a big hand, he dragged Gao Rufeng away from the horse's back, and with a hard flick, he had already knocked Gao Rufeng to the ground.
"General."
"Save the General!"
……
A group of Goguryeo cavalry who followed Gao Rufeng saw Gao Rufeng being captured in one face, and they were all anxious, and they rushed over with a shout, trying to save Gao Rufeng, but it was a pity that Lin Chenghe's personal soldiers did not give them this opportunity, and rushed up, not only tied Gao Rufeng into a zongzi, but even the Goguryeo cavalry who rushed over became the wandering spirit of the knife one by one. As soon as Gao Rufeng was captured, the Goguryeo army, which was already unable to support it, collapsed, and there was no trace of fighting spirit, and under the pressure of the soldiers of the Tang army, they gave up their guns and surrendered, and the battle on the north bank ended early, and at the same time, the fighting on the south bank of Qingshui River continued.
As soon as he saw two Tang cavalry successively killed from his own back, he already knew that this battle would be more auspicious and less auspicious, if he could not stabilize his position as soon as possible, the end would be the result of the annihilation of the whole army, therefore, without waiting for the two Tang cavalry to outflank in place, Gao Qitai led his troops to meet the left side of the Tang army with fewer people and killed the past, trying to defeat the road first, and then try to seize the road.
Gao Qitai's vision is really good, the Tang army that came from the left side is indeed a small number of people, compared to the six thousand iron cavalry of He Chengye's department on the right, there are only three thousand five hundred cavalry on the left, but the general who leads the troops is the brave and invincible Xue Rengui, it is obvious that Gao Qitai's rush just hit the iron plate, this consequence, naturally it will not be too wonderful.
Xue Rengui, as the deputy marshal, has never been able to get a fight along the way, and has long been suffocated, this time ambushing Gao Qitai's department, Xue Rengui is about to show his skills, and deliberately led a road with fewer troops, in order to be prestigious on the battlefield, at this time, seeing that Gao Qitai's department really chose his own way as a breakthrough, he was not surprised and rejoiced, and yelled: "Keep up, kill the thief!" "A horse accelerated, and with Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, he killed Gao Qitai in the chaotic army, and his momentum was extremely powerful.
When Gao Qitai saw that Xue Rengui was fierce, he didn't dare to step forward to meet him in person, so he hurriedly shouted: "Go on, hurry up, kill that thief general!" Gao Qitai shouted like this, and the six generals around him rushed up, each brandishing their blades and rushing towards Xue Rengui, intending to bully the widow and the widow.
Xue Rengui's eyes were very sharp, as soon as Gao Qitai's generals launched, Xue Rengui immediately noticed it, but he didn't take it to heart at all, sneered, pretended not to see it, and blindly hit the horse forward, and when the six thieves rushed to twenty zhang away, Xue Rengui shouted: "Look at the fight!" With his left hand in his hand, he raised his right hand, and pulled out one of the four small halberds inserted behind him, and threw them hard, but he saw that the small halberd was like lightning in the air, but when he heard a wail, a thief who rushed to the front was already killed by the thunderous small halberd under the horse, and the other five generals saw this, and their hearts were broken, and they each urged the horse to rush wildly, desperately shortening the distance between the two sides, and not giving Xue Rengui a chance to shoot again.
As the so-called brave man is fearless, seeing that the five enemies are menacing in the future, Xue Rengui unhurriedly clenched Fang Tian's halberd, kicked the horse's belly with his feet, and accelerated suddenly, already catching up with the first enemy general on the left, and yelled: "Kill!" The Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand stabbed violently, and it had already stabbed in front of the enemy general in an instant.
The white dragon horse under Xue Rengui's crotch is the famous horse given by Li Zhen back then, the speed is extremely fast, at this time, under the full urging of Xue Rengui, its momentum is even faster and lightning, and with Xue Rengui's unparalleled divine power, this halberd will go out, it can really be described as a ghost and god to open up, and how can ordinary people and so on be able to take it, the enemy general obviously didn't expect Xue Rengui to come so quickly, in a panic, he didn't care about parrying the gun, stretched out his hand, trying to grab the halberd handle of Xue Rengui's stab, but how could he stop Xue Rengui's strength, but listen to the "click" Under the continuous sound, the enemy general's wrist was broken, and before he could scream, he felt a chill in his heart, and the person had risen into the air, and he was actually strung on the halberd by Xue Rengui and picked away from the horse.
"Kill!"
"Look at the guns!"
……
The remaining four enemy generals saw that Xue Rengui was so fierce, and their hearts were all empty, but when they saw that Xue Rengui was carrying a person on his halberd at this time, it seemed that they had an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they all rushed to the front of the horse, and each shouted loudly and stabbed with guns, but when they saw that the four horse lances crossed left and right, sealing Xue Rengui's dodge route, they wanted to take this opportunity to surround Xue Rengui on the spot.
"Thieves dare!" As soon as Xue Rengui saw that the four enemies were coming, he roared, his wrist shook, Fang Tian's halberd trembled violently, and the corpses hanging on the halberd vibrated to the two enemies on the left, planned to escape, but Xue Rengui didn't plan to let them go at all, but seeing Xue Rengui's right hand quickly let go of the halberd body, he poked behind him, and the two small halberds were already in his hands, and he threw them twice in succession, and he had killed the two generals on the right hand on the spot, and then he didn't look at the two thieves who fell off the horse, grabbed the horse's belly, turned the horse's head, and killed the second general on the left who was panicking and at a loss.
It's too late, it's fast, from the time Xue Rengui killed the first thief general, it was just a little more than a breath before and after, and there were only two of the six enemies left, and the two enemy generals had just dodged the corpses of their comrades thrown by Xue Rengui, and immediately saw that Xue Rengui had solved the two colleagues on the right, and they were all frightened, and then they saw Xue Rengui pounced fiercely and abnormally, how could they dare to fight, they each shouted, turned their horses' heads and fled for their lives into the oblique stab.
"Rubbish!" Xue Rengui snorted contemptuously, but he didn't continue to chase and kill the two enemy generals who fled in the wilderness, but waved the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand and killed Gao Qitai in the chaotic army.
"Block, block!" Gao Qitai didn't expect Xue Rengui to defeat the siege of his six generals in one look, at this time, when he saw Xue Rengui killing him, he was immediately frightened, how dare he step forward to fight, and loudly ordered a group of guards around him to step forward to block the attack, but he turned his horse's head and fled frantically to the right.
"Where to escape, take your life!" As soon as Xue Rengui saw that Gao Qitai was going to escape, he was willing to let it go, and with a loud roar, the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand danced quickly, killing the rebel troops who dared to come forward one by one, and killed Gao Qitai regardless of it.
At the moment when Xue Rengui showed his might, the right cavalry led by He Chengye also rushed to the battlefield, just when the Goguryeo army was rushed into chaos by Xue Rengui's bravery, He Chengye led his troops into the chaos without saying a word, and the six thousand iron cavalry were divided into three ways, killing the Goguryeo army crying and calling his mother like a dragon going to sea, and the army was crushed without losing his armor, and 10,000 Tang cavalry were killed. How can he stop the strangulation of the Tang Iron Cavalry, and in an instant, the army was defeated like a mountain, the legs fled quickly, and the slow legs either died, or knelt on the ground and became a prisoner pitifully, and the whole battle was already a one-sided situation.
Run, run! In the face of defeat, Gao Qitai had no intention of commanding his armies to resist, nor did he care about the life and death of his troops, he only cared about his own life, listening to the sound of Xue Rengui's chasing horses' hooves getting closer and closer, Gao Qitai couldn't wait for the horse under his crotch to have a few more legs, the horse lance that was originally held in his hand had already been dropped, and the helmet didn't know where it fell, Like a lost dog, seeing the chaotic army in front of him gradually thinning, Gao Qitai was ecstatic, waved his whip hard, and sprinted with all his strength to flee to the battlefield, but unfortunately Gao Qitai's good luck came to this - just when Gao Qitai galloped to the edge of the battlefield, dozens of horses were killed in the oblique stab, and the first general was He Chengye.
He Chengye was born as a sand thief, and later worked in the Anxi Army and was a ranger army, and what he was best at was to disrupt the war, as early as after disrupting the Goguryeo army, He Chengye was thinking about winning a big credit, and he had long been looking for Gao Qitai, a big fish, and had not yet found Gao Qitai's outlaw escape, and then saw Xue Rengui riding a white horse chasing after a person, and immediately realized that Xue Rengui's pursuit was Gao Qitai himself, and when he saw the hunting heart, he ordered his lieutenants to play freely, He himself led the personal guards across the battlefield, blocking Gao Qitai's way in a circle.
"Gao old thief, don't get off your horse and die!" As soon as He Chengye saw Gao Qitai coming, he was overjoyed, and rushed over with a wave of the horse lance, shouting that he wanted Gao Qitai to get off the horse, but the horse lance in his hand was unceremoniously stabbed over, poor Gao Qitai was defenseless at this time, and he couldn't resist He Chengye's stabbing attack, not to mention that he was lucky to be able to get out of the big trouble at this time, and he didn't watch He Chengye's appearance at all. The soul has returned to the west.
"Hahaha......" He Chengye made a meritorious shot, and when he got on the ground, he laughed proudly, waved his hand, and ordered his guards: "Come on, take off the head of the dog thief." Since He Chengye gave the order, a group of guards responded to the order, and immediately stepped forward to cut off Gao Qitai's head.
"He Chengye, you ......" Xue Rengui, who arrived later, saw that the great achievement that was about to be done was cheap He Chengye, and he was furious, glaring at He Chengye angrily, wanting to scold but didn't know what to scold.
"Oh, deputy marshal, I'm sorry, the last general took the lead, sorry, sorry." He Chengye is a sluggish character, otherwise he would not have left Anxi without permission behind Li Zhen and Ashina Kanning and ran to Chang'an, this time he got cheap, and he didn't forget to sell it once, but Xue Rengui was angry, and he had the intention to argue, but he thought that He Chengye was also a confidant of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it was really not good to attack him, so in desperation, he had to glare at He Chengye hatefully, turned his horse's head, and went to find those rebels who refused to surrender......
It's been four days, it's been four days since the Tang army disappeared inexplicably, Yang Miao doesn't know where the Tang army went, and he doesn't know why Gao Qitai's department, which was originally stationed in Gutunkou, has not sent someone to contact, he only knows that things are just afraid that something is wrong, looking at the dark and gloomy Tang army camp under the city, Yang Miao's inner uneasiness is like a strong for a while, and he wants to send people to completely destroy the Tang army camp, but he is afraid of the Tang army's tricks, so he can only force his subordinates to speed up the repair of the city fortifications, and stay on guard. Just in case.
"It's about to dawn, a new day is about to begin, maybe everything should have an answer." Yang Miao looked at the rising red sun on the horizon, muttered a sentence in his mouth, shook his head with a wry smile, and just wanted to turn around and walk back to the city gate tower to rest, when suddenly the corner of his eye seemed to see something near the horizon, and he couldn't help but pause, and when he looked at it, his face immediately changed - a fiery red battle flag fluttered in the wind under the rising sun, and the long-missing Tang Army finally appeared!
"Prepare for war, prepare for war!" Yang Miao was stunned for a long time, and suddenly roared in his throat, and the head of Xuansu City, which was originally immersed in the peaceful morning light, was in chaos, and the remaining 2,000 Goguryeo officers and soldiers rushed to the city in a chaotic manner, nervously guarding for the arrival of the Tang army, and those people and craftsmen who were responsible for repairing the city defense fled from the city in a panic.
The Tang army did not come too quickly, but advanced in an orderly manner, and even many soldiers walked back to the original barracks in a hurry, so that they could carry out the siege equipment in the camp one by one, and lined them up under the city, unhurriedly making preparations for the siege.
Really let the defenders at the head of the city guess correctly, the Tang army actually arrived last night, but did not immediately enter the city, but rested overnight in the camp abandoned by Gao Qitai, and then calmly prepared to attack the city, just after everything was ready, a team of cavalry holding a long bamboo pole with a human head rushed to the city from the array, holding the dragon invincible bamboo pole in unison, and shouted to the city head in unison: "Listen to the people in the city, the heads of Gao Qitai, Gao Rufeng and other thieves are here, and the city of Jian'an has been broken, so you will not descend early, and when?" ”
"Oh, it's really General Gao."
"Ah, that's Chen Qianhu."
"Oh no, Gao Qianhu is also dead, the army is over, it's over!"
……
The defenders at the head of the city knew that the fallen generals shouted one after another, and the morale of the defenders at the head of the city immediately fell to the bottom, and the morale of the soldiers was shaken, and all the soldiers were at a loss.
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" Yang Miao also recognized the origin of those heads, and his heart was half cold, seeing the army's heart floating, he hurriedly pulled his throat and ordered the arrows to be released, most of the defenders at the head of the city were in a panic at this time, and there were very few people who could listen to the order to release the arrows, and a sparse rain of arrows was about to fall, and even the hair of the Tang army was not injured.
"Lin Shuai, the enemy's courage is cold, and the last general asks Long Invincible to lead his troops to rush to the city!" Xue Rengui was robbed of the first merit by He Chengye on this expedition, and he held a fire in his heart, and at this time, seeing that the morale of the defenders at the head of the city was demoralized, some of them couldn't wait to stand up and ask for their lives.
"Okay, Ben will personally beat the drum and cheer for the general!" Lin Chenghe understood Xue Rengui's meritorious mentality very well, nodded without hesitation, and agreed to Xue Rengui's request for battle.
"Xie Linshuai!" When Xue Rengui heard that Lin Chenghe had agreed to his invitation, he was quite excited, and he answered the promise loudly, rushed to the front of the formation, waved the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and shouted: "Attack!" As soon as this order was given, the Tang army, which had been on standby for a long time, immediately launched and shouted and rushed towards Xuansu City......
