Chapter 551: The Great Rout

"Gongming, this person is really courageous, I thought he would ask me to send troops to support!" Liu Yi shook the paperwork in his hand and said to the generals in the account.

"Marshal, isn't General Komeito's move a bit risky? After all, it was nearly two million troops, and Komeito only had 300,000 troops in his hands, and once the forward was frustrated, it would greatly affect the morale of our army! ”

Gongsun Du is almost tied to Liu Yi now, and in order to ensure the smooth progress of Liu Yi's crusade against Goguryeo, Gongsun Du can be regarded as heartbroken. Hearing about Xu Huang's plan, Gongsun Du immediately became a little worried.

"Gongming is a bold and careful person, and he is rigorous in governing the army, and now that he has put forward this plan, he must be completely sure. Since I have entrusted the vanguard to Komeito, I should trust his ability. And I have also heard about the reinforcements of Goguryeo, a rabble, I believe that Komeito should be able to solve the reinforcements! ”

Hearing Liu Yi say this, Gongsun Du also gave up his intention to continue persuasion. As the deputy general of the Middle Route Army, Gongsun Du also understands the reality of the Goguryeo Army, even if Xu Huang can't win all, he has more than enough self-protection.

"Report!"

The generals were talking, and suddenly there was a personal guard.

"Report to the marshal, the right army Tai Shici will report that the right army has captured Wazi City, what to do next and ask the marshal to show you!"

"Oh? Ziyi's speed is so fast! Liu Yi took the battle report, glanced at it a few times in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Goguryeo is really exhausted, one of the five big cities, it is so quick to open the city and surrender!" ”

The Right Route Army led by Tai Shici was like a bamboo, capturing several small and medium-sized cities one after another, and then stopped in front of the big city of Wazicheng.

Tai Shi Ci was also concerned about casualties and did not order the army to attack.

Leaving 200,000 troops to surround Wazicheng, Tai Shici divided the remaining army into three and began to storm the city frantically in three directions.

Soon, the cities around Wazicheng fell one after another, and Wazicheng became an isolated city.

During this period, the city lord of Wazi City tried to break through several times, but under the command and blow of Tai Shici, the breakout army suffered heavy losses. And the tens of thousands of reinforcements sent by Marudu City were stagnant, and they did not leave the range of Marudu City for seven or eight days. Wazicheng became an outcast.

Later, Tai Shici used a little anti-strategy, and after leading the troops to scare him, the defenders of Wazi City, whose morale had dropped to the freezing point, killed the original city lord and surrendered the city.

And Tai Shici also became the first general of the Pingzhou Army to break through a large city in this battle.

"Wazi City is broken, then General Taishi is not far from Marudu City, tell General Taishi, don't have any scruples, and take Marudu City in one go. This will ask for credit to the lord for General Taishi and 500,000 soldiers of the Right Route Army! ”

As the leader of the Pingzhou Army, Liu Yi still has this open-mindedness. He was not jealous of Tai Shi Ci being the first to attack Dacheng, but encouraged him to take the city of Marudu in one go and cut off the back road of Goguryeo.

After the messengers retreated, Liu Yi looked around at the generals in the tent and said with a smile: "The Right Route Army has broken through Wazi City, and Marudu City is close at hand. Our Middle Route Army has the largest number of troops, and it is time for us to take action. Summoned to Komeito, I approved his plan, and he is ready to act! ”

"In addition, send someone to invite Gao Baqi, let Gao Baqi's servant army launch another attack on Anhu City, put pressure on Du Boqing, and instigate General Gongming!"

To be precise, Liu Yijun's current strength is not only 700,000, but 800,000!

As a signature character, Gao Baqi has conquered several cities without blood. There were also Goguryeo garrisons in these cities.

For so many days, Gao Baqi also pulled out 100,000 Goguryeo troops and served as a servant army on Liu Yi's side.

The thankless task of besieging a city was naturally entrusted to Gao Baqi.

"By the way, General Gongsun, Gao Baqi has to bother you to keep an eye on it, what's wrong elsewhere!"

Gongsun Du smiled, he may be far inferior to Liu Yi in terms of leading the army to fight, but he can throw Liu Yi a few streets away from him if he engages in a small conspiracy: "Don't worry, Dashuai, I have planted several shadows around Gao Baqi, and his every move is under our surveillance, even the small actions he thinks are confidential are eaten to death by us, as long as the lord has an order, he can ...... at any time."

As he spoke, Gongsun Du made a movement to wipe his neck.

"It's hard work General Gongsun!"

Du Boqing rode on a group of cyan horses, looking at the endless army with a look on his face, and his heart was very comfortable!

Although he was the Grand Moda of Goguryeo before, the king of Goguryeo could not say anything, let alone the Damoda? There are many high-ranking officials who are not at odds with him.

Relying on the 200,000 private soldiers of the Du Bo family, Du Boqing became one of the few giants in Goguryeo. But it's just one of the giants.

Today, however, this is not the case, and the number of troops under his command has exceeded 2 million, which is more than half of the total number of Goguryeo troops before the war.

Although the combat power may be a little worse, the quantity is there. Du Boqing consciously held on to Anhu City without any pressure.

Take Anhu City, the city second only to the three giant cities, and incorporate the elite troops left by Gao Yanqing of Crouching Tiger. The number of troops under Du Boqing's command may even exceed three million!

Commanded an army of three million, and fought back and forth with allies such as Xianbei, Ding Yuan, and Gongsun Zhan, and repelled the Pingzhou army in one fell swoop.

Then he can lead the army back to the city with the power of victory............

Imagining the scene of himself sitting on the throne, Du Boqing unconsciously let out bursts of hearty laughter!

"The order goes down, and at this time of national calamity, all Goguryeo people must be loyal to the king. All men over the age of 10 and under the age of 60 joined the army to fight against the Han invasion! ”

It seemed that the three million army was a little unsafe, Du Boqing thought about it and expanded the scope of capture of the strong man a little.

As for the men outside the range, Du Boqing is not a butcher, so of course he will not kill them. It's just that he scavenged not a single grain of local grain, and set all the houses on fire, leaving a yellow-haired child and a rickety old man waiting to die in the ruins.

While Du Boqing brutally expanded his army, he did not know that danger had crept in.

The fighting quality of the Goguryeo army was extremely poor, and a large number of strong men brought in it even pulled the fighting quality to an unimaginable level. The scout army is useless, Du Boqing has millions of troops, but his control over the surroundings is extremely limited!

Feng Yu came out day and night, led 50,000 troops to easily bypass Du Boqing's army in three days, and came behind the Goguryeo army, and Xu Huang's frontal battlefield arrangements were all completed, and the battle was about to break out!

Dusk is approaching, and the night is getting dark. Xu Huang's 50,000 cavalrymen and horses were all fed, waiting for the final order to be given.

In the past, night battles will lead to a large increase in the probability of negative states such as poor command and army chaos, but the Pingzhou army is well-trained, has a strict record, high morale, a tight and reasonable command structure, and has a cheating weapon such as a messenger, which can largely immune to the side effects of night battles.

Moreover, Xu Huang's vanguard troops are still under Liu Yi's command, and they can enjoy some of Liu Yi's night combat characteristic bonuses, and it is not a big problem to raid at night!

However, Du Boqing's problem is serious, and the strong men who are forcibly brought in have a great chance of a camp roar at night without doing anything, let alone being attacked by heavy troops!

And the two million army, once the battalion roars and spreads, let alone Du Boqing, let Zhang He, who is the best commander in the Pingzhou army, join forces with Xu Huang, and it may not be able to calm down.

"Summons all ministries to report the latest news!"

Taking a deep breath, Xu Huang said to the communication soldier.

A moment later, the signal corpsman reported: "General Sheng Ze of the left flank returns, everything is ready!" The right-wing General Hu Kang returns, everything is ready! General Feng Yu in the rear of the enemy army returned, everything is ready! ”

"Good!" Xu Huang shouted, and said with a somewhat excited expression: "Pass the order, the left and right wings and the headquarters will attack at the same time in a quarter of an hour, so that General Feng Yu can get ready!" ”

After waiting quietly for a quarter of an hour, Xu Huang took the hood and turned over on the horse, raised the giant axe in his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, the time has come to serve the lord, and the wife and shadow are in the present dynasty, kill with me!" ”

"Kill!"

50,000 cavalry responded violently, and under the leadership of Xu Huang, under the cover of night, they rushed straight to Du Boqing's camp!

And the armies on both flanks also fought against the enemy under the leadership of their respective commanders.

When Liu Yi's cavalry rushed towards Du Boqing's camp, there was no defense in the camp. On the outermost part were the strong men who had been forcibly brought in and a small number of regular troops.

Without waiting for Xu Huang's army to make a move, the strong men with rudimentary weapons scattered in a hurry. A small number of regular troops tried to resist, but they were also ruthlessly crushed by the iron cavalry!

Du Boqing's army of more than two million troops, of course, could not rest in a large camp. The entire camp stretched for hundreds of miles, and there was no end in sight.

However, what is more funny is that Xu Huang stepped on several large camps in one go, and it was only after more than ten miles into the camp that Du Boqing really received the news of the attack.

The specific quality of Du Boqing's so-called army can be seen from this!

"Enemy attack? Where is the enemy? Aren't all the Han people still under Anhu City? How many people are on the other side? Where are you now? ”

Du Boqing put on his armor and looked angrily at the soldiers who came to report.

"Back to ...... Will be a big model, villain...... The villain doesn't know! ”

"I don't know?!" Du Boqing was suddenly a little stunned, and his face began to become hideous.

"Smack!"

Raising his arm, he fanned the soldier who was kneeling on the ground with one palm, and shouted angrily: "Waste, what do you want!" ”

"Ordered the future of the general to discuss the big tent, let Du Boxiu personally lead people to find out what is going on! The battalions are vigilant and ready to fight"

Soon, the main generals gathered, but no one knew exactly what was going on, and everyone waited for news.

Nearly half an hour later, the person who had gone to inquire about the news finally returned.

"Du Bolin? How are you? What about Du Boxiu? Looking at Du Bolin, whose face was covered in blood and seriously injured, Du Boqing suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart and asked urgently.

"My lord, the front camp is completely in disarray, the enemy is attacking at night, and all the newly recruited soldiers have fled. The former battalion commander Du Bohong was killed in battle, General Du Boxiu was killed in battle, and the villain escaped by luck and brought the news back! ”

"How many enemy troops are there in the raid?"

"No...... I don't know, it's so dense and overwhelming that it can't be counted at all! ”

"Report ...... Report to your lordship, the left army and the right army were raided separately, the commander of the left army, General Bao Feng, was killed, the commander of the right army, General Hu Lie, was missing, and the enemy army attacked! ”

Hu Kang and Sheng Ze on the left and right wings were not as efficient as Xu Huang, but the final effect was very good, and it became the last straw that crushed Du Boqing!

Du Boqing has lost control of most of the army, panic, chaos, and defection have spread throughout the army, except for the clan army of his own tribe is still under control, even the original old army of the domestic city is unreliable.

A great rout was unfolding in the Goguryeo army.

In a trance, Du Boqing seemed to hear the sound of fighting outside the tent, and tried to calm down, Du Boqing gritted his teeth and said: "Retreat, lead our clan army to retreat!" ”
