Chapter 146 Crossing the River

Seeing that the siege of the Koreans was opened by Li Xian's cavalry attack, Li Xian immediately made a gesture when he was only about 3000 meters away from Ulji Mundeok's troops, and the soldiers behind him blew their horns , the cavalry team of more than [-] people followed Li Xian's big black horse to make a gorgeous turn and rushed out to one side.Such a sudden turn in such a large-scale high-speed impact of the cavalry requires extremely high horse riding skills. Obviously, although the cavalry of the Sui Dynasty is definitely not comparable to the Turks on the grassland in terms of scale, their horse control skills are no less than that of the Turks on the grassland. Prairie people are bad.

The team of more than 3000 people made a very beautiful arc, turned a corner in front of the Goguryeo gun formation, and then rushed towards the gap in the siege.

"Don't rush to cross the river! Don't go too fast, let the Koreans chase after you!"

Li Xian turned around and said to Duguzhen.

Dugu really nodded, he knew what Li Xian meant.Using cavalry to charge back and forth to tear apart the encirclement is actually not a very superb tactic. The soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were well-trained, and it is not difficult to complete such an abrupt turn.Duguzhen also thought of this method before, he was born in a Sui family, and the education he received since he was a child is far from what a child from a poor family can compare with.Whether it is military strategy or personal martial arts, although Dugu Zhen is not the best in the Dugu family, he is a famous figure among the younger generation. Therefore, because of this, he admires Li Xian, who came from a poor family, but makes him even more so. What he admired was Li Xian's previous words.

The gap has been opened but he is not in a hurry to rush out, but drives the Koreans to catch up.

This is an idea only a lunatic can think of, but it is obvious that as long as the Goguryeo people are fooled, the tens of thousands of Goryeo people chasing after them will be led by the nose by the Sui cavalry.

The messenger blew the horn, and Tai Sui's light armored fine cavalry began to slow down slowly.Sure enough, Ulji Mundeok immediately mobilized his troops to chase after him.

In this way, in order to chase Li Xian, the Korean encirclement began to slowly split into two pieces.Most of the people were still besieging the scattered Tai Sui soldiers, and a team of about 7 to [-] people was divided to pursue the cavalry led by Li Xian from both sides.The separation of the encirclement allowed some soldiers of the Sui Dynasty to break out, and they began to break out in the direction of the brigade led by Xue Wanche.

The entire south bank of Sashui was killed within a dozen miles, and the Sui army, which lost its command, subconsciously leaned towards crowded places. Only where the battle flag of the Sui Dynasty was still flying could they feel a little bit of safety. .

The infantry led by Xue Wanche had snowballed nearly [-] routs. After Tie Liaolang told Xue Wanche what Li Xian had said, Xue Wanche gritted his teeth and nodded, ordering the army to break through to the north bank of Sashui.

At this time, among the cavalry brought by the iron wolf, dozens of people suddenly shouted: "General Yan has sent people across the river to find Marshal Yuwen, brothers, go to the north bank of the river to kill, Marshal Yuwen will send people to meet us !"

At first, only a few dozen people shouted this voice, and later it led other cavalry to shout together. More than a thousand cavalry galloped back and forth to cheer up the infantry. It didn't take long for the whole team to know the news.For a moment, the morale of the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty was completely stimulated by this hope, and the crowd began to boil.

"Did you hear that? General Yan has already sent people to cross the river, and General Yu Wenshu promised to send troops to escort us over!"

"Brothers, go forward, as long as you cross the river, you can join the army!"

"Marshal Yuwen didn't abandon us, General Yan Yun of Zuo Tunwei has already sent someone across the river to ask him to come and meet us!"

The soldiers roared excitedly, their eyes filled with the desire to survive.

Xue Wanche looked at Tie Liaolang in surprise and asked, "Yanyun has really sent someone to ask Marshal Yuwen to return to the army for rescue? Marshal Yuwen agreed?"

Tie Liaolang nodded and said: "General Yan has already sent people across the river to ask Marshal Yuwen."

Xue Wanche sighed and said: "I'm afraid that begging is in vain. You shouldn't be shouted at. If the brothers managed to cross the river without any reinforcements, the morale would immediately drop. At this time, our People can't stand the blow anymore."

"how is this possible!"

Tie Liaolang pretended to be surprised and said: "Our General Yan came back from the north bank with his troops after consulting Marshal Yuwen for instructions. Now that we have gathered so many soldiers, will Marshal Yuwen leave us alone?"

Xue Wanche smiled wryly and said, "If he is willing to take care of it, why would you General Yan need to shout in the army by yourself? Look, besides Yan Yun's three soldiers who rushed to the battalion, how many of you came back to save people? Yan Yun is still too young, he doesn’t understand the affairs of the officialdom! Yu Wenshu will not send people to meet us! The people left on the south side of the river are already his abandoned sons, the only function is to stop them for a while Goryeo pursuers!"

He glanced at Tie Liaolang and said, "Do you know why Yu Wenshu didn't stop your General Yan from crossing the river to save people? Don't talk about Marshal Yuwenshu not abandoning his soldiers, don't talk about benevolence, morality and nonsense The reason why he asked you General Yan to bring people back to kill him was because he wanted Yan Yun to make a few more rounds to block the Koreans one more time! Those of us who came back from the kill are the same, they are all abandoned sons !"

He smiled bitterly: "So, you shouldn't let people shout those words."

Iron Wolf said with a look of panic, "Then what should we do now?"

"What else can I do?"

Although Xue Wanche has a straightforward temper, he is also from a family after all. Although the Xue family is not as good as the Yuwen family, the Dugu family is a first-class family. After all, he has seen too many tricks and tricks since he was a child.If he is willing to calm down and think about the problem carefully, he is actually no stupider than anyone else!It's just that this person is too straightforward and has a quick temper, so he seems a bit rough compared to the relatively calm Xue Wanjun.

Xue Wanche waved his hand and said, "Cross the river quickly while the fighting spirit of the soldiers is in full swing. As for crossing the river...we'll talk about it later!"

Tie Liaolang hurriedly said: "Well, I will lead the cavalry to charge first, and you, General, will follow with your team. After killing the river, I will take people to meet General Yan."

Xue Wanche thought for a while and shook his head and said: "The cavalry in the river can't take advantage of it. You lead people to meet on the flanks. I personally select elite infantry to open the way!"

"No need!"

Xiong Kuohai stood in front of Xue Wanche's horse and said: "I am ordered by General Yan to come here to help the general cross the river. Please send me a thousand elite infantry. I promise to cut a bloody road!"

……

……

Under the protection of his own soldiers, Yu Wenshu rushed forward all the way. After crossing the river, he discovered that during the period of negotiation with the Goguryeo people, Ulji Wende had taken the opportunity to mobilize so many troops.He always thought that although the Great Sui Expeditionary Army had run out of food, their luck was unreasonably good.First, Gao Yuan sent him to ask for peace, and Ulji Wende did not attack the Sui army during the period. All these made Yu Wenshu very happy. He said Gao Yuan and Ulji Wendek were idiots more than once.But now it seems that contempt for the enemy on the battlefield often brings huge blows.

Yu Wenshu sighed, remembering that when the young man named Yan Yun stopped in front of his horse, the aura even impressed him a little.It's a pity that young people are still too inexperienced after all.At that time, he still wanted to fight back, and only a person from such a poor family like him would have such courage.

Yu Wenshu laughed at himself, he couldn't remember the last time he was impulsively leading his men back to save his comrades.There seems to be such a youthful and passionate time in my memory, but now even the memory has become blurred.

Am I getting old?

Yu Wenshu thought involuntarily.

I am old, but Da Sui is not old yet!

He thought comfortingly, the Sui Dynasty had only been founded for more than [-] years, and it was the time when it was full of vigor!In history, which dynasty could launch an expedition of millions of people?On the banks of the Liaoshui River, when His Majesty pointed to the east bank of the Liaoshui River and asked where it was, how strong was the fighting spirit of the soldiers?

But... it's only been half a year, what's going on?

At this time, under the protection of his own soldiers, he, Yu Zhongwen and others had already left the brigade far behind.After crossing the Mazi River, the team began to limit the supply of food and grass. Only they, the soldiers of the general, still guaranteed three meals a day, and only these soldiers still had enough fodder for their war horses.Eight generals, nearly [-] personal soldiers, this is the first camp of the Sui army to flee, behind them, there are the soldiers of the Sui government who are completely out of formation like herding sheep.

The generals had already run away first, and although the team behind them crossed the river, they were also abandoned.On the north bank of Sashui, there were also countless Koreans chasing after them. The people from the small Korean tribe who had fled far away when they saw the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, now dared to retreat with hundreds or thousands of people. The Sui army launched an attack.And the saddest thing is that the 20 Sui soldiers who crossed the river had no room to resist!

Countless Goguryeo people poured in from all directions, they were like a pack of wild wolves, constantly pounced on the retreating Sui army's elephant.And this hungry elephant had no strength to resist when faced with a crisis.Although it still looks strong, there is no doubt that it has almost lost the strength to run.

Those in the first camp of the Sui army who retreated and fled knew what would happen to the comrades left behind.They have been out of food for many days, and a bowl of gruel every day can't replenish much energy at all.And those Goguryeo people who have been waiting here are also hungry, but what they are hungry is not their stomachs, but their desires.

Yu Wenshu himself was very surprised, why he was so calm at this time.He couldn't help but look back at Yu Zhongwen and the others, as well as Liu Shilong, who was pale but still galloping on the horse with his teeth gritted.

Except for Liu Shilong who was terrified, it seemed that Yu Zhongwen, Xue Shixiong, Zhang Jin, Jing Yuanheng and others all had the same expressions on their faces, their calmness was unimaginable!
