Chapter 9 A Narrow Encounter

(Thanks to the moderator of the starting point cover group, Brother One-Eared Spirit Monkey, for helping to make the cover, thank you for the reward!) ~)

The 10,000-strong infantry phalanx of the Goguryeo people is not all Goguryeo, there are still many foreign tribes here, including Khitan, Xi, some Han and Turkic. Seeing that the Goguryeo warriors, who had twice defeated the Sui army's hundreds of thousands, began to waver after the Sui cavalry continued to fall one by one.

The formation was no longer strong and complete, and some Goguryeo warriors began to turn around and retreat, of course, it would be more appropriate to say that they had fled. At first, the Goguryeo officers personally killed the fleeing soldiers, but this only served a small purpose.

In a few moments, the entire phalanx had begun to shake, and more and more Goguryeo soldiers began to turn around and retreat in the direction of Xinseong. Some soldiers even took the initiative to give up their spears and shields in order to run faster.

The 1,000 cavalry, which the Goguryeo general had high hopes for, had been defeated and retreated under the onslaught of the cavalry of the broken barracks of eight regiments, and the Goguryeo cavalry had no choice but to show a one-sided trend against the Sui cavalry, which was well-armored and well-equipped.

Li Benlei has been riding a war horse on Chen Kefu's left and right, and at this time, when he saw that the Goguryeo arrays were finally chaotic, he immediately said, "My lord, directly impact the Goguryeo people's phalanx, directly break their array, cut them into small phalanxes, and then besiege and kill them little by little." ”

Chen Kefu nodded, at this time, the spear phalanx of the Goguryeo people had already had no complete defense line, and it was full of loopholes, which was indeed a good opportunity.

"Lord Zhang He, you quickly lead two groups of men and horses around the enemy array and attack from behind, and Lord Li Benlei and the rest of the adults will attack me from the front. All charge! Kill! ”

"Kill !!"

With a roar, the five regiments of the broken barracks under the leadership of Chen Kefu and Li Benlei directly pressed the enemy's infantry phalanx. This time, instead of wandering from both sides of the display, they sprinted with spears in the front row, followed with scimitars behind, and cut directly into the enemy's phalanx from the front. The entire phalanx, the most difficult for the cavalry to attack, but the outermost layers, which are all spears lined up, really against the cavalry's big killing weapons. But when they cut into the formation, the cavalry rushed and killed like a hot iron hammer inserted into the cream, and melted at the first encounter, without hindrance.

Chen Kefu and the others did not stop to tear and kill, but directly led the cavalry to cut the entire phalanx into two halves, and then divided them into two pairs again, and continued to divide the two halves, and kept cutting, completely cutting the entire phalanx into small phalanxes. The infantry, which had lost the support of the large phalanx, had no choice but to be like a lamb to the slaughter, although it could also desperately counterattack the Sui soldiers, but it had already made up for the general situation.

"My lord, let's go, this Sui army is an elite, we are defeated, let's retreat to the new city first, the new city cannot be lost." A general next to Gao Qi hurriedly said.

Gao Qi looked at the infantry camp that had been completely cut into various small phalanxes by the Sui army, and sighed helplessly. This time it seems that I was careless, let's go. After speaking, he took hundreds of remnants of his soldiers and galloped towards the new city in the east.

Chen Kefu saw Gao Qi's beautiful armor at a glance, and then looked at the hundreds of defeated troops who were about to retreat in panic, and roughly guessed that that person was the commander of these more than 10,000 Goguryeo people.

"Rollin, take a regiment and catch up with me with the Goguryeo commander, and the rest continue to besiege these Goguryeo until they surrender." After saying that, Chen Kefu took two hundred people to look at the banner of the Goguryeo general and chased the past, and many Goguryeo defeated soldiers looked at the big banner and wanted to gather with the main general, but every time Chen Kefu would lead the cavalry to rush and kill. Gradually, when the defeated Goguryeo soldiers saw that the banner was no longer gathered, they immediately turned around and ran away.

Gao Qi was as anxious as a lost dog, and now he regretted it very much, why he had scared the Sui army away because he was worried about fighting with the Sui army under the city. If he had fought directly with Xincheng with his back to the Sui army, then he wouldn't have to be chased so hard now.

"Why haven't you arrived in the new city for so long?" Gao Qidao said anxiously.

"General, just cross this grove and you'll be in the new city. The Sui army is far from us, and we will definitely be able to withdraw into Xincheng safely. ”

As soon as the defender's words fell, a dense rain of arrows shot out of the trees. Gao Qi and the hundreds of remnants of the soldiers, who were completely defenseless, immediately neighed, and a large number of men and horses fell to the ground, and even Gao Qi was hit by an arrow in the leg, fell off his horse, and fell to the ground unable to move.

After a few showers of arrows, a large group of Sui cavalry rushed out of the woods, slashing and killing those Goguryeo soldiers who were still defending.

"Lord Team, we seem to have caught a big fish, look at this kid's armor and cape, it's actually sable, it must be a big fish, and now we sent it." It was a gang leader who spoke, and his team was sent to ambush in this grove by Zhang He, who was in charge of copying from behind, to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.

That team was also a veteran of the last war against Liao, and he grinned at Gao Qi's armor with just one look.

"It's really shit luck, this guy is the supreme governor of Goguryeo. Not only is he commanding the army, but he is also in charge of a big city, and we have made a lot of money this time. When we dedicate this guy to Your Majesty, we will definitely be rewarded by Your Majesty, and if Your Majesty is happy, maybe we can be promoted to the next level. ”

A few people were talking and laughing, but they saw that Chen Kefu, the commander of the broken military camp, had already arrived with more than 100 people.

The team was immediately escorting Gao Qi and happily replied to Chen Ke on the horse, "General, the little ones and others set up an ambush here according to the orders of Lord Zhang He, but they didn't expect to catch a big fish." This man's official robe, which I recognize, is a mattress, the highest governor of the city. ”

Chen Kefu nodded, "This is your own merit, and after the war, you will definitely be rewarded for your meritorious deeds." Well done! ”

Chen Kefu glanced at Gao Qi, who was pressed to his knees and fell to the ground in front of him, as well as the two or three hundred remnants, most of whom had been killed, only a few of them were not killed by the arrow, but at this time they were all lying on the ground and snoring.

"Luo Lin, quickly send a cavalry to report to General Li Benlei, and ask him to quickly prepare troops and horses to meet us and others, and we will enter the new city first."

Luo Lin said with some confusion, "My lord, although we defeated the Goguryeo army out of the city, according to the news of Tanma, the Goguryeo people still have nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, how can we enter the city immediately?" ”

"Just let you send someone to report, although the city is still in their hands, but don't we already have this big mattress, as long as we have him, plus the armor and clothes of these hundreds of Goguryeo people on the ground, we can outwit it instead of attacking!"

Brothers, vote for your recommendation, and let's blast all the way up
