Turbulent Times Chapter 1154: The army is defeated like a mountain

"Prime Minister, the question now is not whether we can defeat the enemy, but how to retreat safely." Zuo reminded me of the most important thing to do right now.

Yuan Taizuo instantly felt as if someone had poured a basin of ice water over his head, gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat at this time...where else can we retreat."

But having said that, he still brought the Chinese army back to protect him.

Although Li Xuanba was slightly injured, he was delighted when he thought that he had successfully completed the task and made great achievements. However, on the way, he met Wang Junlin's commanding car driver, and Wang Junlin yelled at him : "Idiot, the enemy has already escaped and I don't know what to do when I chase the enemy."

Li Xuanba was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to see that the Goguryeo people who were chasing them had long since disappeared, and the central army of the Goguryeo army was retreating as fast as possible. Without saying a word, he turned his horse's head and chased after him with only more than 600 horses left under his command.

Wang Junlin had just discovered the clue with the help of a telescope, and while personally confirming it, he immediately ordered the whole army to pursue it. Amidst the sound of horns and drums, the Goguryeo army on both wings finally discovered that the Chinese army had been defeated through the cheers from Wang Junlin's side.

Shocked, these Goguryeo generals could no longer take care of other things, and immediately started to flee with their own troops. The situation is a little better if the wise general knows to send a group of dead soldiers to leave behind. But most of the generals panicked and only cared about leading people to escape, instead they put themselves in a situation where they could never recover.

The army was defeated like a mountain. Even if there were only a thousand pursuers at this time, it would be difficult to restore the defeat of the Goguryeo army.

Under the summer sun, Wang Junlin asked Yuchi Jingde to lead 2,000 remnants of soldiers to stay where they were, and firmly guard Taniguchi, while the rest went to kill the enemy.

"Send an order to the special forces behind the mountain on both sides of the valley, and the spies under Guo'er, to be ready to intercept and kill the Goguryeo people who escaped over the mountain at any time."

…

…

Yuan Taizuo looked pale at the collapsed army, they ran away in panic, even

As far as the soldiers around him who were still standing on their posts were dispersed, they had completely become bereaved dogs. Some generals brought some soldiers and wanted to kill people to supervise the battle. As a result, even the people who supervised the battle were drowned in an instant and had to follow then escaped.

The deputy general next to him said in a trembling voice: "Master Prime Minister, if you run to the depths of the valley, you will die sooner or later. I will lead someone to protect the Prime Minister and escape from the north. I saw that many soldiers have already fled over the mountain. By then The Prime Minister gathered a part of the army, and we fled back to Pyongyang to talk."

"Run?" Yuan Taizuo said desperately, "The entrance of the valley is blocked, and the mountains on the three sides are not very high. You think the other party will be unprepared behind the mountains. At this time, any Sui army will capture or kill us, and how many of us can escape."

The deputy general didn't know what to say, so he simply knelt down and said, "I will follow my lord to the death."

The so-called defeat like a mountain is the scene in front of you. Whether it is Yuan Taizuo or some generals, it is difficult to stop or regroup the people to counterattack, unless Wang Junlin no longer orders the pursuit, but how is that possible.

The Goguryeo army, which had completely lost their fighting spirit, panicked and howled and ran wildly on the battlefield. Their weapons, armor and helmets were scattered all over the ground. They had only one thought left, to run for their lives before others. But they forgot that no matter how fast they rode their horses at this time, they would not be able to get out of the valley, and they would eventually have to climb over the mountain with their bare hands to escape from the valley.

It is not necessary for Wang Junlin to give orders to the people of Silla and Baekje, all the cavalry of these two countries are frantically chasing and killing those defeated soldiers who do not resist at all, and some cavalry rushed in Just now, the horses left by the Goguryeo army were slashing wildly, and tens of thousands of horses ran wildly. The rear of the Goguryeo army became more and more chaotic. No one bothered.

The Goguryeo people on horses began to run towards the valley scatteredly, and some smart people got off their horses and climbed up the mountains on both sides. Some even rushed towards Taniguchi in a state of insanity, and were naturally easily killed by the oncoming tripartite coalition forces.

The speed of defeat in front of me has far exceeded Yuan Taizuo's expectations, and there are scattered soldiers running around everywhere, some of them

The brave Goguryeo cavalry chose to keep fighting with the opponent. Under the stimulation of the chaotic scene, Yuan Tae-jo, who was guarded by hundreds of soldiers, felt that the horses under him were also moving their hooves anxiously. He had to Hold tight to the reins.

A hundred paces away from Yuan Taizuo, there was a Sui army cavalry rushing by. Several rout soldiers who fled empty-handed couldn't get out of the way. After the platoon of horseshoes stepped over, faint smoke and dust rose from the ground, and several rout soldiers stood there without moving.

A cavalry cavalry of four or five hundred people of the Goguryeo army hastily assembled under the desperate gathering of a general. Yuan Taizuo could see that their formation was also very chaotic. It didn't start neatly, and after they were basically lined up, they wanted to rush out a way out. Unexpectedly, Li Xuanba led hundreds of cavalry from the north, killing nearly half of the Goguryeo cavalry that had just managed to gather, and broke them into routs. soldier.

It is impossible to reorganize the cavalry. In the midst of the chaos, Yuan Taizuo's face was ashen, he gritted his teeth, and ordered the drummer to call the gold loudly, let the soldiers escape by themselves, and then he finally chose more than 500 loyal guardians by his side Under the protection of his own soldiers, he took advantage of the chaos and rushed up to the north mountain, and took the opportunity to change clothes with the guards.

Wang Junlin rode a blood-maned horse, entered Sanyang Valley, and crossed the Baizhanglong gully that was blown out by explosives. The first thing he saw was more than 20,000 horses gathered by the Goguryeo army. Most of these horses were too tired. , was unable to run, and was injured by the Goguryeo army at the root of the horse, and could not live for a few days. Wang Junlin thought that half of them had undergone rehabilitation, and it would be good to recover to be able to go to the battlefield.

Beside the war horses were more than 20,000 captives, all their weapons and armor had been disarmed, kneeling on the cold and hard ground, most of them looked numb or bleak and desperate.

Not far away, ten temporary cowhide tents were busy, and the wounded were constantly being carried in for treatment.

Wang Junlin rode into the battlefield full of corpses. Yuchi Jingde rushed back from the depths of the valley surrounded by his own soldiers, and reported: "My lord, I have received definite news that Yuan Taizuo has brought some of his own soldiers with him. Escape from the mountain on the north side."
