Chapter 1088 Thousands of troops avoid white robes

The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, just now the Tang Dynasty of Goguryeo was still storming Li Ji's army, hoping to break through the formation of the Tang army, but in the blink of an eye, Cheng Yanjin, who was ambushed in the rear, killed the rear army of Goguryeo and scattered and fled, seeing that they were about to break through the rear army of Goguryeo, and when the time came to attack Li Ji, they would also be defeated.

Seeing this situation, Gao Yanshou also hurriedly sent troops to prepare to rescue the rear army, but at this moment, he didn't expect the Tang army in the rear to stop charging and start to encircle and suppress the rear army, and it seemed that he didn't intend to attack the Tang army in front, which made Gao Yanshou stunned, and even wondered if the Tang army in the back had a conflict with the Tang army in front, after all, how could such a good opportunity be given up?

But soon Gao Yanshou knew that he was wrong, although the Tang army in the rear did not beat down, but with a dense war drum, then I saw a Tang cavalry on the right rushing over, although the number of this cavalry is not much, but it is like a sharp blade, fiercely inserted into his right wing, the army on his side is like tofu, they cut a big hole, and they are still advancing rapidly, it seems that they want to cut their army into two sections.

"The Dao Sect really lives up to my high expectations, it seems that the overall situation of this battle has been decided!" On the earth mountain in the distance, Li Shimin looked at the battle situation below, and said with a faint smile on his face, as soon as the cavalry led by Li Daozong came out, they immediately broke through the defense line of the Goguryeo army, and those Goguryeo people couldn't stop him at all, and there was no suspense to see the momentum cut off the Goguryeo army.

In fact, although Li Daozong's cavalry was sharp, if it was placed in peacetime, it would not be possible to break through the defense line of tens of thousands of Goguryeo people so easily, but the timing of Li Shimin's order was too ingenious, just when Gao Yanshou was about to send people to the rear to support, Li Ji in front also began to counterattack, as a result, the army's decrees were different, and the command was also a little chaotic, and suddenly encountered Li Daozong's cavalry to kill in, so naturally it was impossible to organize an effective counterattack.

In the blink of an eye, Li Daozong's six thousand cavalry rushed to kill more than half, although the speed has decreased, but it is still very smooth, in fact, the biggest advantage of the cavalry is speed, if the cavalry did not block the cavalry charge at the beginning, then the cavalry in the rear will continue to rush in, tearing the mouth bigger and bigger, and now Li Daozong has rushed to the position of the Chinese army in Goguryeo, as long as it breaks through here, then the entire Goguryeo army will lose its unified command, and the Tang army will also win in advance.

Gao Yanshou looked at the Tang army that was getting closer and closer, and naturally knew that it was now a life-and-death moment, if he really let this cavalry break through the Chinese army, then his side would not be a big defeat, but a fiasco, and even his own life would be lost here, so he was also ruthless at this time, and immediately roared: "Five Swords Army!" ”

Quangai Suwen's family has been a great nobleman of Goguryeo for generations, among which Quangai Suwen is burly, and he is also very brave, and he usually carries five knives on his back, invincible on the battlefield, and when he was young, he formed an elite cavalry, and later it was expanded several times, named "Five Swords Army", usually Quangai Suwen's personal guard, and this time Gao Yanshou led the troops to come, Quangai Suwen also handed over his personal guard to his command.

Li Shimin also has an extremely elite cavalry in his hands, because the army wears black armor, so it is called the Xuanjia Army, when he broke Dou Jiande's 100,000 army with thousands of Xuanjia Army, making the Xuanjia Army famous all over the world, and Quangai Suwen's "Five Knife Army" is actually modeled after Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army, although the number is not much, but the combat effectiveness is also extremely strong.

Gao Yanshou was reluctant to use the Five Swords Army, but now the situation is critical, he also had to send this elite, with his order, I saw that the three thousand cavalry who were originally guarding around him also immediately lined up and rushed out, the Five Swords Army all wore red armor, and they had a transcendent status in the Goguryeo army, and all those who stood in their way when charging were their enemies, so the Goguryeo soldiers on the road also dodged one after another, and some of them couldn't dodge, and they were directly trampled into flesh.

However, it was no one who dared to stop it, and the Five Swords Army was very smoothly killed in front of the Tang Army cavalry, and then the two elite cavalry also collided together, although the combat effectiveness of the Five Swords Army may not be as good as the Xuanjia Army, but it is not comparable to the ordinary cavalry, Li Daozong's cavalry rushed to half, at this time the sharpness has been lost, and the speed has also decreased, plus the strong enemy of the Five Swords Army, the result was blocked all of a sudden, and the forward cavalry was discounted countless times, but it just couldn't rush through.

"Oops!" Li Xiu, who was watching the battle on the dirt mountain, saw this situation, and couldn't help but scream secretly at the moment, in fact, all the ministers around him also had the same reaction, even if they didn't understand the art of war, they also knew that the biggest reliance of the cavalry was speed, if it was blocked by someone, and it was surrounded by the enemy, then this cavalry was almost a tiger that had lost its minions, and in the end it could only be swallowed up by the enemy little by little.

Li Shimin's face at this time was also not very good-looking, just now he also said that the victory was decided, but he was slapped in the face in a blink of an eye, and if Li Daozong's cavalry was destroyed, it would be a serious blow to the morale of the Tang army, and even the Goguryeo people might turn defeat into victory, and the goal he had set before to completely annihilate the Goguryeo people would also become a joke.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw a white-robed general in Li Daozong's cavalry, followed by a cavalry, rushed to the front in the blink of an eye, and then took the lead in the five-knife army.

I saw that this white-robed general Xiao Yong was extremely brave, charging forward with himself as an arrow, and the cavalry behind him followed, after tearing open the gap of the Five Swords Army, he immediately took the lead in killing it, and there was no enemy in the Goguryeo army, and for a time the Goguryeo cavalry was killed by people on their backs, and even the generals who commanded the Five Swords Army were stabbed under his horse.

"What a tiger general!" Li Shimin, who was watching the battle, didn't expect that his side would kill such a fierce general, almost killing a bloody path with the strength of one person, and Li Daozong immediately seized the opportunity and commanded the army to rush over again, and thousands of five-knife troops lost their command and immediately became the soul of the Tang army.

"Hahaha~, who is this general? I will reward him heavily! Seeing Li Daozong's cavalry charging again, Li Shimin also laughed very happily at the moment, and even made a promise in public.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows this general!" When Li Xiu saw the white-robed general, a faint smile appeared on his face, and then he bowed slightly to Li Shimin, they were all wearing armor and riding on horses at this time, so naturally they couldn't salute as usual.

"Oh? Li Xiu, do you know each other? Li Shimin couldn't help but show a surprised look when he heard Li Xiu's words, although he was far away, but judging from the number of soldiers led by the white-robed general, his official position should not be high, so he just asked casually just now, and he didn't expect any of the ministers around him to know a low-level general.

"Yes, this white-robed general's name is Xue Li, the word is Rengui, a native of Jiangzhou, Hedong Province, he studied in a military academy before, and then graduated with very good grades, speaking of which, he is also His Majesty's proud protégé!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time.

A few days ago, he saw Xue Rengui, and then recommended the other party to Li Daozong, hoping that Li Daozong could take more care of it, but Li Daozong was also very face-saving, and assigned Xue Rengui to his command, which belonged to a small number of cavalry directly under his command, which also gave Xue Rengui a chance to play, and just now broke through the defense line of the Five Swords Army in one fell swoop.

"Xue Rengui? Why does this name sound so familiar? Li Shimin couldn't help but show a contemplative expression when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then he suddenly said, "I remembered, this Xue Rengui seems to have been recommended by you to the military academy, and he also helped the imperial court to quell the rebellion of the Turks!" ”

"Your Majesty's memory is really good, he is that Xue Rengui!" Li Xiu smiled again at this time and said, although Xue Rengui's fate was changed by himself, the way he became famous did not change, as in history, it was he who shined on the battlefield of Goguryeo, which attracted Li Shimin's attention.

"Hahahaha~, no matter how good my memory is, it's not as good as your vision, as long as you recommend people, you have never disappointed me!" Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh again when he heard Li Xiu's words, that is, he laughed for the upcoming victory, and at the same time he was happy that he had obtained a fierce general.

The battle on the battlefield continued, just when Li Xiu and Li Shimin were talking, Li Daozong's cavalry finally broke through the encirclement and cut the Goguryeo army into two sections, and Xue Rengui played a key role in it, and almost all of the second half was with him as the vanguard, with Xue Rengui opening the way, the cavalry behind even felt more relaxed than at the beginning.

Just when Li Daozong cut off the Goguryeo army in two, Li Ji, who had been holding on for a long time, finally stopped hiding his fangs, and with his order, the Tang army, which was originally on the defensive, immediately changed its formation, divided into several large armies and slaughtered into the Goguryeo army like a dragon, cutting the already chaotic Goguryeo people into more small pieces, making them unable to respond.

Li Daozong was not idle, he turned around and killed again after breaking out of the encirclement, and then it was almost Xue Rengui's performance time, a white robe was also very conspicuous in the chaotic army, where there were the most Goguryeo people, he rushed wherever he went, and as a result, wherever the white robe went, the Goguryeo people were also scattered and fled, and no one dared to stop them.

Li Xiu and the others, who were watching the battle from afar, were also enthusiastic, after all, as a man, I am afraid that they all have this fantasy of galloping on the battlefield and being invincible, but Xue Rengui turned this fantasy into reality. And Li Shimin shouted excitedly: "The famous teacher and general Mo Zijiao, thousands of troops and horses avoid white robes, Xue Rengui is my Chen Qingzhi!" ”
