Thousands of cavalrymen gently raised their whips and struck the horses' buttocks, and then with a slight grip of their legs, they drove the horses out of the previous ice wall and walked out with a light stride, and then formed a battle formation while trotting according to their respective ranks.

In addition to the vest made of felt on the horse, even the horse's legs are covered with thin felt, and these vests made of felt not only have the effect of keeping warm, but also play a great role in preventing bows and arrows from hurting the horse.

Although the Goguryeo cavalry on the war horse is not an armored cavalry composed of the most elite noble children of Goguryeo, the officers of these cavalry are also a considerable number of noble children from Goguryeo, and the soldiers at the bottom are composed of children of good families, and their combat effectiveness is still not to be underestimated.

These soldiers are wearing leather armor made of old cowhide, and the key parts are also inlaid with iron sheets, although they are not as good as the leather armor of the Xia army in the East China Sea, but it is also very rare in the original Liaodong land, you must know that there are many soldiers in the army of the Tang Dynasty, which is known as the prosperous era, without armor.

Probably influenced by the Juntian system of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Goguryeo also implemented the land grant system in some local places, and some of the soldiers who were allocated land had to carry their own weapons when they fought with the army, so most of the armor of these soldiers was inherited from father to son, and some were worn, of course, it was not as good as the equipment of the soldiers in the East China Sea.

But now because all the cavalry of the Xia army is not here, the Goguryeo cavalry with spears and halberds in front of them is still extremely powerful, and if there is no opposing troops, these cavalry will of course be irresistible when they charge.

Thousands of war horses trotted forward with small steps, and the snow before had been trampled much harder by those White Mountain and Wofu soldiers, so when the war horses advanced, except for the sound of 'creaking' and 'creaking' trampling on the snow, it was very smooth.

After walking lightly across the ice on the waterfront, the speed of thousands of cavalry increased, and at this time it was only three miles away from the battlefield, and the Goguryeo cavalry charging at the front could already see some Xia soldiers beginning to panic.

Thinking about it, in the face of thousands of galloping war horses, even lions and tigers had to flee in a hurry, let alone people, and tens of thousands of horses' hooves trampled on the snow particles raised by the snow and the water vapor generated when the war horses galloped, coupled with the shouts of the Goguryeo cavalry when they charged, all put strong pressure on the infantry without any protective fortifications.

The cavalry generals of Goguryeo were very confident, and he believed that in the face of the powerful momentum of thousands of cavalry, even the most elite soldiers of the East China Sea would be unable to resist.

Sure enough, as he expected, when the cavalry charged to more than two miles away from the battlefield, the first thing was that the soldiers of the Heishui Department could not withstand it, and they fled in embarrassment regardless of the soldiers of the Baishan Department and the Beiwo people who had been killed.

Seeing the soldiers of the Heishui Department fleeing one after another, and even some soldiers fell a few buttocks in the snow because of the slippery road when they fled, the Goguryeo cavalry who looked at these were suddenly proud, but they did not slow down at all, and rushed straight towards the only blue wolf army on the battlefield that was still insisting on retreating slowly.

This blue wolf army is of course Cao An, Xie Yan's blue wolf army and Cangshu's army, facing thousands of fierce Goguryeo cavalry, they are not the ironclad army of Liu Wancheng's department, and there are no crossbow arrows and bed crossbows to attack from a distance, so it is difficult to support alone, so they can only retreat slowly.

But in the face of such a fast speed of the cavalry, the blue wolf army finally couldn't retreat so slowly after retreating for a while, they dropped their weapons one after another, turned around and fled, fortunately their battlefield was about 200 meters away from the camp, so it was relatively easy to escape into the camp.

I don't know why, when the soldiers of this blue wolf army fled into the camp, they didn't have time to close the gate, and at this time, the cavalry of Goguryeo had already rushed over, and when they saw this, they immediately seized the opportunity to attack it.

Seeing his cavalry rushing into the opponent's camp, Gawain was overjoyed, originally just thinking about luring out part of the opponent's army, and then taking the opportunity to destroy a part, but who would have thought that his cavalry would be so powerful that he would attack the opponent's camp in one fell swoop.

So Gao Wen took the opportunity to organize a large army to attack the past, preparing to conquer the camp of the Xia army in one fell swoop, giving the Xia army a heavy blow, and even sent most of the army out in order to insure Gao Wen, and even the big camp on the Goguryeo side only kept 2,000 guards.

The distance between the two armies was only five or six miles, which seemed so close to Gawain before, but now it seemed so far away, he personally led more than 15,000 troops to rush up, and a stream of cool air was sucked into his lungs, and then he exhaled again before it could be warmed up.

The pain in his lungs from the cold air and heavy breathing was incomparable, and Gawain didn't know how many years he hadn't exercised so vigorously, but as long as he could defeat the Xia army and capture Zhenhai City this time, it would be worth it.

So there was a strange phenomenon in the Goguryeo army, as if a cloud and mist followed them, it was the fog produced when the Goguryeo army of more than 10,000 people was running, and it was easy to give up when one person was running, but when a group was all running, you would unconsciously move with it.

When they reached a mile away from the Xia army camp, they could already hear people shouting and horses inside, Gawain began to stop slowly, and then organized the army to form a battle formation, but at the same time, some elite soldiers rushed into the gate in a group while running.

After all, there are only 3,000 cavalry, and these elite soldiers are all carefully selected by Gao Wen at the beginning, specially prepared for this attack on the camp.

But when these elite soldiers finally rushed to the gate of the Xia army camp out of breath, they suddenly saw some Goguryeo cavalry who had already rushed into the camp fleeing from the camp with bloodless faces, and their expressions were like seeing ghosts.

Some of the Goguryeo soldiers who were about to enter the door didn't have time to dodge, and they were immediately hit by their robed war horses and flew up, and they didn't know what psychological feelings they had at this moment, but they all knew that something was wrong inside.

The Goguryeo cavalry was excited when they rushed in, but when they rushed into the camp of the Xia army, they found that all this was a conspiracy, all of which was to lure their own army to rush in, because the opponent's army had already been waiting in the camp.

The soldiers of the Heishui Division and the Blue Wolf Army, who originally looked embarrassed and fled into the camp, were all acting, and they quickly returned to the positions that had been prepared for them a long time ago, and then looked at the thousands of Goguryeo cavalry who rushed into the camp with their weapons intact.

Moreover, even behind the Goguryeo soldiers, in a short period of time, there were all kinds of things that blocked the cavalry, such as resisting horses, thistles and so on, but these also aroused the unconvincing of the Goguryeo cavalry.

Before, both sides were invincible all over the world, although they also suffered some losses, but in the end they were the final winners, so they were very dissatisfied with the other party, who claimed to be the overlord of the East China Sea, although the overlord of the East China Sea was a naval army on one side and an army on the other.

But it is precisely because of this that the infantry army in the East China Sea is the most dissatisfied, in their opinion, although they have not fought a good battle with the Goguryeo army, how can they know that they are stronger than themselves? So the two sides quickly got into battle.

However, what the Goguryeo cavalry did not expect was that although the other side had no cavalry, no crossbow arrows, and no gunpowder weapons, the Xia army had a full 2,000 ironclad soldiers, although only ironclad soldiers with heavy hammers and axes.

With such an ironclad army specially created to deal with cavalry, all the infantry also had a backbone, although many infantry were still a little frightened by the tall Goguryeo cavalry, but still picked up their weapons and rushed forward, and the two sides fought together.

When the 3,000 Goguryeo cavalry rushed into the camp and lost the advantage in speed, they could no longer play the role of the Xia army's soldiers.

Under the leadership of Liu Wancheng, these Goguryeo cavalry were constantly cut off from their war horses, and even some ironclad soldiers thought it was too troublesome to cut off the soldiers, so they directly cut off the horse's legs, but they were scolded by Liu Wancheng, don't these losers know that these horses will be ours in the future?

After such an engagement, the only 3,000 Goguryeo cavalry who had lost their speed could not withstand the siege of tens of thousands of Xia infantry, so some of the remaining Goguryeo cavalry immediately began to turn their horses and flee outside the camp.

However, when the soldiers who broke through the interception escaped, there were less than 500 cavalry left in total, and these 500 cavalry killed many of their comrades one after another when they rushed out of the camp.

Seeing the remnants of the hundreds of Goguryeo cavalry that escaped, Gao Wen knew that he had been fooled, and he patronized to lure the enemy, but he didn't want to be lured out of his lair by the enemy. ”

But it was too late, and when Gawain led the army to a distance of only 200 zhang from the camp, he saw that the Goguryeo banner that was fluttering in the wind slowly fell.

Immediately, a banner of the Xia Army slowly rose under the gaze of tens of thousands of Goguryeo troops, and then thousands of Xia soldiers dressed as the Blue Wolf Army appeared on the one-foot-high ice and snow city wall, and a middle-aged man dressed as a general laughed and said: "Thank you General Gao for your kindness, this camp is good!" ”

It turned out that this person was the deputy general of the Fourth Division of the Blue Wolf Army, Uncle Liangja of General Zhenwu, and it was he who led the army to detour from the rear early, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Gawain army to seize the camp of the Goguryeo army in one fell swoop, and at the same time did not forget to say a cool word.

Just Uncle Liang's words suddenly made Gao Wenqi half dead, although he had the intention to attack and recapture the camp, but looking at the Xia army chasing soldiers who rushed out of the Xia army camp behind him and were getting closer and closer to him, he had no choice but to sigh: "That's it, retreat quickly!" ”

A war that Wang Ze thought was going to be protracted seemed to be about to end in such a detrimental way.
