Dinglong, Gao Yanzong took out a long knife from behind the saddle, pushed the front armor with the tip of the knife, and then clamped the horse's belly with both legs, and the war horse opened its four hooves, ran up a dirt slope, and rushed down the hillside.

Behind him, thousands of cavalry, also armed to the teeth, galloped in formation, rolling up billowing smoke and dust on the mountain path like a torrent.

The terrain beneath your feet was not suitable for cavalry warfare, the ground was too soft, the weeds and shrubs were too dense, and there were many rocks and small dirt pits, which would pose a great threat to the cavalry advancing at high speed. The continuous battle has caused Gao Yanzong's elite team to lose a lot of personnel.

Yuwen Hu and Yu Wenchun increased their troops from two different directions to attack Gao Yanzong, even if Luoyang Dugu Yongye continued to transport troops, but the pressure on Gao Yanzong's army was still very great, these days, he has been trying to advance to the south and have a decisive battle with Yuwen Chun.

At this time, you can't cherish your own soldiers, so far, the most effective means of attack against the Zhou army is the cavalry charge, two or three back and forth rush to kill can make the opposite Zhou army rout, a great blow to the morale of the Zhou army.

This avoided letting the Zhou army see their own reality clearly, and each battle was dominated by cavalry, and the foot soldiers played a small role, but only partially cooperated, doing the work of sweeping the tail and picking up leaks. This kind of combat method that only shows its teeth can easily cause misunderstanding of the Zhou army and magnify Gao Yanzong's actual strength several times.

Moreover, if it is replaced by infantry combat, then the two sides will have to fight for two hours to reveal the victory, and the elite of the Zhou army's soldiers will make the Qi army pay a heavier price, from this aspect, cavalry combat is Gao Yanzong's best choice.

"Two days ago, His Royal Highness the King of Lanling had already penetrated Xinjiang and Shaozhou, and went straight to Dinglong, General, should we be patient to hold on to the territory first, and then join forces when the King of Lanling arrives, and kill Yuwen Chun......"

Some generals put forward such an opinion, now, on this battlefield, the pressure caused by the Zhou army to the Qi army is too great, whether it is Yuwen Hu, Yuwen Chun or Hou Longen, they are all transferring troops to Yiyang and Dinglong......

Gao Yanzong shook his head, "No, it's too late if we don't make a move now." He pointed to the simple map drawn in the mud, and said with a solemn face: "At this time, Yuwen Hu came to this hand, obviously sensing that the battle situation was unfavorable to the Zhou army, and wanted to plot a way back......

"Losing Fenbei and Fennan, but taking more than ten cities in Yiyang, for Yuwen Hu, it is equivalent to a tie with us...... and now he is in a bad situation, and he definitely wants to get back face from Yiyang." Besides, he will never allow me to make trouble in his back road, no matter what, he must destroy my ......" Gao Yanzong smiled bitterly, the Metropolitan Governor hoped that he could try to copy Yuwen Hu's back road, but now it seems that this may be almost equal to zero.

"Copying the bottom will definitely not work...... then we will go to save Yiyang, it is better than folding ourselves here, ......attacking, defeating Yu Wenchun, saving Yiyang, we can get out of the way." All the generals understood that Gao Yanzong's strategy was to fight, to attack and defend, and to advance and retreat.

"General, it's Tian Hong on the other side......" After Gao Yanzong defeated Yu Wensheng, Tian Hong was used by Yu Wenchun again to guard against Gao Yanzong.

"I'm afraid of a sac!" Gao Yanzong glared and said: "There are not ten or eight Zhou generals who were defeated by Lao Tzu, what about Yu Wensheng or General Zhuguo, what is the result?" If he hadn't been a fast runner, he would have been a ghost by now......"

Gao Yanzong felt a pain in his flesh when he thought of the huge losses in the fortified battles these days, and he gritted his teeth with hatred.

"Tear apart Tian Hong's front, Lao Tzu is going to split him alive ......!"

After all, Tian Hong is a veteran and experienced, and he has been fighting against Gao Yanzong for a while, and he gradually came back to his senses, and it turned out that the kid on the other side was bluffing. At this time, it was even more difficult for Gao Yanzong to advance.

The most difficult battle was personally fought by Gao Yanzong with heavy and light armor, these days, they were like a boning knife to cut off pieces of flesh and blood from the Zhou army, and at the same time, their own bodies were also full of gaps. The Jianrui Battalion and the Xiongwu Battalion were reduced by half.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" In the face of the galloping war horses and the stabbing knives and spears, Captain Zhou shouted loudly. The crossbowmen standing behind the foot soldiers raised their bows and arrows, and shot their arrows in order.

The sky is blue as a wash, this is a very suitable weather for combat, feather arrows fall like rain, the Zhou army crossbowmen are still holding their bows, waiting for the Qi cavalry queue to have a riot, but they are disappointed, the cavalry is not affected at all, thousands of feather arrows are shot down, but it is just a little sluggish for the cavalry who rushed to the front, and then the cavalry is still rushing into battle, the queue is more neat, and the momentum is more magnificent.

The second wave of arrows also fell quickly, knocking dozens of horsemen off their horses, and a dozen horses with feathered arrows stuck in their bodies collapsed as they ran. The Qi army on horseback suddenly disappeared, and its flexible hiding under the horse's belly made it impossible for the Zhou army to shoot them at all.

The elite of the Jinyang Army is not blown, and it is not far from Baibao Xianbei. Tian Hong, who was standing not far away watching the battle, jumped in his heart, and a very bad feeling came up, he beckoned, and the deputy general immediately understood, and went down to give the order, "Spearman, step forward!" Step forward, spear stabbing diagonally, squat! ”

The sound of cavalry hooves rumbled, the speed of the Qi army was very fast, and the captain was still organizing the Zhou army to prepare for the crossbowmen, and in a blink of an eye, the Qi army was fifty steps away, and the sound of the horses' hooves and the collision of the battle armor shook people's scalps. They can't even hold their bows and arrows.

In front of the queue of crossbowmen, the spearmen have been lined up into a wall, and the spears are obliquely fingered, thick as a mountain, which has stabilized the morale of the army to a certain extent, and as long as the Qi army crashes into it, it will definitely cause heavy losses.

The crossbowmen were a little calmer, and were about to fire the third batch of feathered arrows, when the cavalry suddenly appeared from under the horse's belly, "Throw! They grabbed the short spear hanging from their horses' necks and threw them with great force.

At that moment, the Zhou army in the front suddenly felt that the sky darkened, and hundreds of short spears suddenly flew up from the horse team, rushed into the sky, and slaughtered down, and the sharp short spears pierced a soldier wearing thin armor at once, and the Zhou army array, including the crossbowmen, fell a large piece.

There was a momentary commotion in the Zhou army array, the Qi army seized the opportunity, and the soldiers behind threw the short spear again, and the cavalry that rushed to the front at this time had already entered the Zhou army array! Then the Zhou army fell like a crop, the neighing of the war horses and the crying of people became one, and the banners of the Zhou army fell one after another.

Gao Yanzong wielded a long knife and slashed wantonly in the crowd, his strength was amazing, and there was no one under him, the man led a knight in heavy iron armor to gallop and fight in the Zhou army's array, and after half a circle, the Zhou army's defense collapsed.

Tian Hong's heart was half cold, he knew that the road of the Qi army to Yiyang had been opened, and the general trend had gone......

While Gao Yanzong was galloping in the Zhou army's formation, he caught a glimpse of the old man's figure out of the corner of his eye, and he split the Zhou pawn in front of him in half with a knife, and spit on the ground fiercely and disdainfully......

Tian Honghua's white sharp eyebrows wrinkled, and he glanced deeply at the figure in the formation of the two armies, and finally ordered: "Withdraw the troops...... With helplessness in his tone, the Zhou army finally ...... Still defeated......

The sunset was like blood, Gao Yanzong and a group of soldiers were tired and paralyzed on the ground, lazy, and the rest of the soldiers were doing their daily sweeping work. A group of cavalry rushed from the valley in the distance, and some of the soldiers stood up vigilantly.

"Don't panic, it's our people......" Gao Yanzong saw clearly the flag held high.

The battle between Gao Yanzong and Tian Hong had just ended, and Gao Changgong also defeated Yu Wensheng and Yuan Jie, and the small former army officially joined Gao Yanzong. Gao Changgong took off his armor and walked quickly up the dirt slope, Gao Yanzong's clothes and armor were all covered with blood, and he sat there weakly......

Seeing Gao Changgong coming, he pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, you are too slow, I have already opened the way to Yiyang, so you came to pick up cheap ......"

Gao Changgong's eyebrows were raised, and he also smiled: "What are you talking about?" I'm here to help you fight Yu Wenchun, don't you know what to do. ”

Gao Changgong is an elder brother after all, and he always talks to him in this half-joking, half-threatening tone.

"The Metropolitan Governor means to rescue Yiyang as soon as possible, can you still ride a horse?"

"Now? I'm exhausted, can you let me rest for a while...... you treat me like an animal? ”

Gao Changgong smiled and said nothing, Gao Yanzong glared at him, and limped up from the ground, "Hey, I've been riding a horse for too long, and the big bird below is almost smoothed ......out, what are you laughing at, are you my brother?" Give me a hand......"

This year-long battle, after which the battle will come to an end.

……

"We lost ......" Compared with the ease of Gao Yanzong's brothers, the atmosphere on Yu Wenchun's side was very solemn, and a large number of generals sat there quietly, silent. Tian Hong's failure to hold the front line means that everyone present knows.

Gao Yanzong drove straight in, and the Zhou army's plan to take Yiyang came to naught.

"Can you kill it back?" Yu Wenchun was in a trance for a moment and asked.

Tian Hong shook his head, "It's impossible...... Gao Changgong is here, the Qi army is united, the general trend is irreversible, we lost this big battle, ......"

"......" Yu Wenchun sat still, looking in the direction of Yiyang with a faint gaze. He fought this city for more than half a year, and he couldn't take it for most of the year, and all the feats and glory of his previous fantasies were shattered into a moon in the water.

"Alright, let's withdraw our troops......" It was as if the wind was blowing through the window lattice. Yu Wenchun closed his eyes bitterly.

……

"What? Yu Wenchun was also defeated?! Yuwen Hu, who was far away in Longmen, roared loudly. The generals sat down and bowed their heads, their foreheads and backs were dripping with cold sweat, and then Yuwen Hu felt dizzy and slowly leaned down on the couch......

Tens of thousands of troops were lost in the battle, Yiyang was not down, Fenzhou was lost again, Yubi was surrounded, Duan Shao and Hu Luguang attacked fiercely, what should he do? Back in the court, Dugu rebels against the party and others will inevitably take the opportunity to make trouble, Yuwen Yong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he will inevitably be agitated at that time, how should he explain it to the people of the world? He should ...... How is it good? ……

Liu Yong plucked up his courage and came out and said: "Otsuka Zai, the matter has come to this, let's negotiate peace......"

Yuwen Hu looked at him sternly, "You know...... What are you talking about? ”

Liu Yong stubbornly continued: "Otsuka Zai, if we don't compromise, I'm afraid this war will be protracted, and we really can't afford to drag it out now!" Fenzhou is already in the hands of the enemy, we can only admit it, as long as Otsuka Zai negotiates peace with the Qi army, he can win a respite, evacuate Longmen, return to the dynasty for rectification, and will be able to make a comeback in the future, I hope Otsuka Zai thinks twice! ”

Everyone present was silent, Yuwen Hu pondered for a long time, and finally could only nod, "Okay, do as you say, send a messenger to Gao Qi ......"

"Discuss peace ......" he finally spit out these two humiliating words.
