Chapter 457: Battle of Niulangang (3)

There will be wisdom and bravery, in the army to take the head of the general, such as the person who probes the bag and takes things, it is said to be brave, sit firmly in the military tent, strategize and win thousands of miles is called wisdom, since the history, there are countless people who are famous for their bravery, whether it is the overlord of Chu in the Qin and Han dynasties, the fierce Zhang Fei in the Three Kingdoms period, or Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Yu Chi Jingde and others in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty are among the best, however, the interesting thing is that the emergence of super brave people is basically at the beginning of the troubled times, often a large number of them appear, but with the arrival of the prosperous era, Super brave people are rarely seen, since Zhenguan, although the rising stars are many, they may be able to talk about the super brave generals only the current prince Li Zhen is one ear, and the rest is just slightly stronger than ordinary warriors, at this time, I heard that someone dared to boast that he only led a hundred people to rush into battle, and the generals were shocked, and they looked at the past, but saw that the person who asked for his life was actually Xue Rengui, the left Jin Wuwei and the right Lang general, but saw Xue Rengui, who was dressed in white clothes and white armor, and covered with a white robe, was riding on the snow dragon horse, and the person was like a tiger and a horse like a dragon. What kind of sassy hero?

When the surprise attack on Qizhou and the pacification of the rebellion of the King of Qi, Xue Rengui served in front of Li Jijun, how is his courage Li Ji has a certain number in his heart, but because Xue Rengui is the general of Li Zhen's family, Li Jishi does not want to have more dealings with him, and he does not have a thorough understanding of Xue Rengui's martial bravery, but at this time the war is urgent, his left flank has fallen into a state of crisis, and the Chinese army is unable to put in reinforcements due to the containment of the enemy's main force. Since it was something that Li Ji couldn't ask for, Li Ji didn't hesitate at all, and glanced at Xue Rengui meaningfully and said: Since General Xue is willing to go, the old man will cheer for Er!

Yes, the last will obey! Xue Rengui's white clothes and white armor this time were to make a name for himself in the first battle, and when he heard Li Ji's request, he was very excited, and hurriedly responded, rushed to his subordinates, and gathered a hundred brave cavalry, and when the drums sounded, he rushed to the battlefield with a shout in unison. /

Big brother, the Tang Army has moved, kill them and kill them! As soon as he saw Xue Rengui leading his troops out of the Tang Army's Central Army array, Gao Huizhen, who was in a hurry, couldn't help but roar.

Well? Gao Yanshou, who was originally observing the situation on the battlefield, raised his head suddenly, and after a closer look, he realized that the Tang army that attacked was just a cavalry squad with a scale of 100 horsemen, and he didn't take it to heart, he just snorted coldly, and didn't bother to pay attention to Gao Hui's real fuss.

People are roaring, horses are neighing, the wind is whistling, in this environment where everyone is fighting frantically, Xue Rengui is extremely calm, there is no expression on his dark face, and a pair of eyes are indifferently looking at a thousand-strong enemy cavalry team that has been separated from the chaotic army to intercept him, neither taking off the Fang Tianhua halberd on the victorious dog, nor pulling out the horizontal knife at his waist, just galloping forward empty-handed, as if he was walking leisurely.

Five hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred and fifty steps, it's close, it's almost time! Xue Rengui calmly calculated the distance with the enemy cavalry brigade that was coming from the horse, and waited for a distance of two hundred and fifty paces, but seeing that Xue Rengui's expressionless face showed a slight smile, his left hand was raised, and the big iron bow hanging on the saddle had already arrived in his hand, and when his right hand was stretched, the three feather arrows were already in his hand, and the wrist was flipped, and the arrows were already on the string, but when he heard the bowstring sound, the three feather arrows were shot out in a line, and the whole movement was clean and neat, as smooth as the flowing water of the peers. /

The three feathered arrows cut through the space like meteors in an instant, with the roar of death, and instantly shot down the three Goguryeo strikers who were whistling under the horse, and the Goguryeo cavalry team that was originally sprinting vigorously was in a big chaos, and before the rest of the people regrouped, they saw that Xue Rengui had rushed to the front with the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, but he heard Xue Rengui yell: Kill! The Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand slashed left and right, like a killing god, crashed into the array of the Goguryeo cavalry brigade, stirring up bursts of bloody rain and bloody wind, there was no enemy under his hands, and where he passed, he was invincible, but in a moment, the more than 1,000 Goguryeo cavalry who had messed up the army's heart were killed and fled, and no one dared to turn back and fight again, and Xue Rengui didn't care about the Goguryeo cavalry who scattered and fled, and led the hundred iron cavalry under his command, so straightforwardly towards the melee battle group to kill the past, as if entering a no-man's land.

Goguryeo's left-wing commander Gao Kunlong is the second son of Gao Huizhen, a well-known rising star in the Goguryeo army, both courage and military strategy are the best choice, he has noticed the different reactions of Xue Rengui's small army, and without waiting for Xue Rengui to kill the general, he sent a thousand cavalry to meet the battle, it is said that with a heavy attack of ten to one, it can be said that he does not pay attention to it, but he never thought that a thousand cavalry was powerless to stop Xue Rengui's part, and even hindered the attack momentum of Xue Rengui's department. This made Gao Kun Long Shengsheng taken aback, and when he saw Xue Rengui coming over, Gao Kunlong was in a hurry, roared, and led the four generals around him to rush towards Xue Rengui.

Kill! Gao Kunlong's flying horse blocked Xue Rengui's way, and the horse lance in his hand stabbed violently, taking Xue Rengui's throat like a dragon going to sea, and at the same time, the two generals under Gao Kunlong's seat also fired guns at the same time, one left and one right, and the two horse lances crossed to seal Xue Rengui's dodge line.

Thieves dare! Xue Rengui was not afraid of the siege of Gao Kunlong and others, and roared, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was lifted, accurately blocking the handle of Gao Kunlong's gun, but after listening to a crisp click, the horse lance in Gao Kunlong's hand had been shaken into the air, and before he came back to his senses, he saw Xue Rengui holding the gun in one hand in his right hand, and with a flick of his wrist, Fang Tian's painting halberd swept away, blocking the two horse lances that came from the left and right assassinations, and the empty left hand fished up, and Gao Kunlong, who had been numb by the shock, slipped up, threw it into the air, and the Fang Tianhua halberd in his hand slashed at the trend, has broken Gao Kun Longsheng into two, dirty blood and internal organs splashed wildly, such a tragic situation, so that the Goguryeo cavalry who followed closely behind Gao Kunlong were all stunned, and no one dared to step forward to block Xue Rengui's way.

Whoever stands in my way dies, kills! Xue Rengui didn't pay attention to the frightened Goguryeo generals at all, the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand swung and led his troops to rush into the chaos of the army, after a wild rush, he had already entered the core of the battlefield, but he saw that Liu Junqiong, the main general of the left wing of the Tang Army, was surrounded by three enemy generals, and he didn't care about much, he shouted violently, and with Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, he rushed to kill the past, and the halberd fell in his hand, killing three generals in a row in a moment, and rescued Liu Junqiong, who was covered in blood.

General Liu, follow the end of the future! After Xue Rengui rescued Liu Junqiong, he did not immediately turn back to fight his way out of the encirclement, but led his troops to rush and kill frantically in the chaotic army, gathering the Tang cavalry that had been divided into several pieces together again, and then rushed and killed in the Goguryeo army formation.

Damn it! Gao Huizhen, who was standing in the middle of the Chinese army array, saw his second son die tragically at the hands of Xue Rengui, his eyes turned red, he scolded angrily, and did not ask Gao Yanshou for instructions, and led dozens of generals under his command to rush out of the Chinese army and rush towards the battlefield on the right flank, trying to stabilize the situation on the right flank, which was already in danger.

Second brother, alas! Gao Yanshou never expected that such a small team of Xue Rengui's department would disrupt the entire right-wing battle situation, and he was in a daze, when he suddenly found that Gao Huizhen had led people to kill him, he was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted, but he failed to stop Gao Huizhen, and in desperation, he had to sigh and say no more, but there was an ominous premonition in his heart that quietly surged.

Okay, what a white horse general, who is this? Li Shimin, who personally led the main force to hide on the top of the South Mountain, saw Xue Rengui coming and going in the midst of the ten thousand troops, as if he had entered a no-man's land, and he was greatly overjoyed, clapped his hands excitedly, and shouted.

Your Majesty, this person's surname is Xue, his name is Xue Rengui, and he is from Jiangzhou, Shanxi. Cheng Yanjin and Xue Rengui, who were standing behind Li Shimin, knew each other very well, and when they saw Li Shimin asking, they hurriedly took half a step forward and explained with a smile.

This person is extremely brave, and he is really brave. Li Shimin loved Xue Rengui more and more, and couldn't help but praise him again, then he waved his hand and said: Order: Let the eldest grandson Wuji attack immediately!

Be. One of the heralds standing by the side answered loudly, and the cat ran out of the woods with his waist bent, waving two small flags back and forth on the edge of the cliff, and conveyed the order to attack to the headquarters of the eldest grandson Wuji, who was hiding in the dense forest a few miles away.

Lord Situ, look, the order has arrived! At this time, the battlefield was extremely fierce, the soldiers on both sides totaled 50,000 or 60,000 horses and horses were killed, although the eldest grandson Wuji had also experienced the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but most of his life was in the rear planning, and there were few times when he participated in the front line, at this time, he saw the battlefield so vicious, he was stupid, and he didn't even notice that the signal on the top of the South Mountain had been sent, until Su Dingfang, the deputy general standing beside him, realized that something was wrong, and then he was busy reminding him.

Ah, oh, well, strike! The eldest grandson Wuji came back to his senses, raised his head, looked at the signal on the top of the South Mountain, and answered with a sound in his mouth.

Be. Su Dingfang glanced at Changsun Wuji angrily, replied, and after gesturing to the generals behind him, he led his troops to rush north along a pre-opened path in the dense forest, passing through a narrow valley and around the back of the Goguryeo army arrayed in the mountains.

The Tang Army, it is the Tang Army, the enemy attack! Enemy attack! Although the Tang army's interspersed operations were hidden, as soon as they came out of the dense forest, they were still discovered by the soldiers left behind by the Goguryeo rear army, and suddenly the terrible shouts and horns sounded into one.

Kill the thief! Su Dingfang saw that his concealed actions had been broken, he didn't dare to slack off, shouted, and killed the rear army of Goguryeo on foot, but this Goguryeo rear army was just a baggage battalion, and its combat effectiveness was already limited, how could it be the opponent of the strong army of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that the number of people was only in the early 3,000s, and it was slaughtered by more than 20,000 Tang troops in a face.

Oops! Gao Yanshou, who was originally observing the dynamics of the battlefield, heard that the sound behind him was wrong, and he was in a hurry, looked around at the generals around him, and his eyes fell on Yang Wanchun, the city guard of Anshi, and said with a frown: Yang Chengshou, there is an enemy behind our army, and it may be difficult to win this time, do you dare to hold the back road for this commander?

Yang Wanchun is a native of Anshi, and has been the city guard of Anshi for a long time, but he never bowed to Gai Suwen, and even refused to recognize Gai Suwen's name as regent, for this reason, Gai Suwen had ordered the arrest of Yang Wanchun, but the people of Anshi united and drove the Qincha who came to arrest Yang Wanchun out of the city, and then Gai Suwen had ordered the Gao Yanshou brothers to send troops to attack Yang Wanchun, but he never thought that only Gai Suwen's order was that the Degao brothers not only refused to send troops to attack Anshi, but bluntly said that Yang Wanchun was a national soldier and won the hearts of the people. Don't act rashly, Gai Suwen is helpless, and can only acquiesce to Yang Wanchun's duty as the city guard, this time the Tang army attacked Liao, Yang Wanchun also led the troops to fight back together with the Gao brothers, when the Gao brothers were forced to march into Yungang, Yang Wanchun had strongly opposed, thinking that the Tang army could not advance, there must be fraud, and suggested that the Gao brothers withdraw their troops to stick to the first line of Anshi and Wugu, and wait for the Tang army to attack, how could the Gao brothers not listen, insisted on marching, at this time they have been attacked from the front and back, the situation is already in danger, Yang Wanchun knew that the defeat in this battle was inevitable, and he was about to persuade Gao Yanshou to lead the main force to immediately wave the army to break through the Tang army on the back road, and strive to save more elite soldiers, but he didn't expect that before he could speak, Gao Yanshou spoke first, which made Yang Wanchun's heart sink involuntarily, knowing that the general trend was going, in desperation, he had to bow down and answer: Please give Gao Shuai 10,000 soldiers and horses to the last general, and the last general is willing to do his best!

Okay, the left and right cavalry camps are handed over to you to command, so let's go. Gao Yanshou didn't notice a gleam flashing in Yang Wanchun's eyes, and casually/confessed, and handed the tiger talisman for the transfer of troops to Yang Wanchun, but he hurriedly turned his head away, looking at the frontal battlefield where the situation was becoming more and more embarrassing with a worried face.

At that time, because of Xue Rengui, the killing god, the left flank of the Goguryeo army had completely fallen into chaos, although Gao Huizhen tried several times to reorganize the scattered cavalry, but every time the efforts were led by Xue Rengui to chaos, and when the casualties were heavy, the 20,000 elite cavalry that originally fought had lost six or seven thousand people by now, and although the remaining remnants of the army were still struggling to support, they were on the verge of collapse, and a major defeat was inevitable.

The collapse of the left wing of Goguryeo is imminent, and the right wing is not much better, although Cheng Wuting's courage is not as good as Xue Rengui, but the difference is not too far, although the small team of more than 300 cavalry under his command has always been besieged in the center by the Goguryeo army, but it has not collapsed because of this, but clashed back and forth in the Goguryeo army formation, killing more than 10,000 cavalry troops of Goguryeo who lack unified command. And the result of the more than 4,000 iron cavalry led by Cheng Mingzhen to shake Gao Mingming's 4,000 elites head-on is not surprisingly ending with the collapse of Gao Mingming's department, so that the entire Goguryeo right wing without unified command collapsed a few points faster than the left wing, so fast that Gao Yanshou had not had time to transfer troops and reinforcements, and Gao Mingliang had already led the defeated army to retreat back to his own infantry phalanx.

Your Majesty, the smoke and dust have risen behind the mountain! The sharp-eyed Cheng Yanjin suddenly found that there was a lot of smoke and dust behind the Goguryeo front, and he hurriedly shouted at the top of his throat.

Okay, beat the drums, strike! Li Shimin's face turned red, he waved his hand excitedly, and gave the order to attack, and suddenly the drums on the top of the originally silent South Mountain shook the heavens and the earth, and the main force of the Tang Army, which had been recuperating for a long time, immediately rushed out of the dense forest, shouting like a tide and rushing towards the battlefield.

Messed up, completely chaotic, the Goguryeo army, which was already at a disadvantage, suddenly saw the main force of the Tang army coming from the South Mountain, how could there be any fighting spirit at all, they turned their horses' heads one after another, and retreated desperately to their own position, and the unforgiving Tang cavalry immediately followed the rout and chased the past, and the Goguryeo infantry team, which was originally considered to be a strict lineup, was rushed by its own defeated army, and it was already a battle, the army had no fighting spirit, and the whole battle situation completely collapsed.

Steady, don't mess up, steady! Gao Yanshou saw that the defeat was like a mountain, and in a fit of rage, he slashed and killed several defeated soldiers who fled from his side one after another, shouting at the top of his voice, trying to stabilize his position, how could the general trend have gone, how could he support it alone, in desperation, he had to join forces with Gao Huizhen, who had fled back, and retreated towards the mountain occupied by his eldest son Gao Qianlian.

Capture Gao Yanshou alive and kill it! The main force of the Tang army like a tiger descending from the mountain and the officers and men of the forward army commanded by Li Ji were all engaged in the attack at this time, plus the Changsun Wuji who was killed from the direction of the Goguryeo rear army, several armies worked together, and the sound of shouting and killing sounded in the sky, and the poor Goguryeo 150,000 army except for the more than 40,000 people who withdrew up the hill with the Gao brothers, the rest were either killed or surrendered to the Tang army. But no one noticed that the 10,000 horses led by Yang Wanchun did not go to resist the Tang army commander Sun Wuji's headquarters who came from behind according to Gao Yanshou's order, but bypassed a small mountain on the left flank of the battlefield and hid in the dense forest.

After a fierce battle, the Tang army with 110,000 troops against 150,000 soldiers and horses of Goguryeo, achieved a great victory of beheading more than 23,000 people, capturing more than 40,000 people, and besieging the remnants of the army led by the Gao Yanshou brothers of more than 40,000 men and horses on a hill
