Chapter 9 Meeting on a narrow road

(")

The Goguryeo people's phalanx of 10,000 infantry were not all Goguryeo people. There were also many foreign tribes, including Khitan, Xi, Han and Turks. After seeing the Goguryeo warriors who had defeated hundreds of thousands of Sui army twice, they began to shake after the Sui cavalry continued to fall one by one.

The formation was no longer solid and complete, and Goguryeo soldiers turned around and retreated. Of course, it was more appropriate to say that escaping was more appropriate. At the beginning, Goguryeo officers killed the escaped soldiers with their own hands, but this only played a little role.

In a short while, the entire square formation began to shake, and more and more Goguryeo soldiers began to turn around and retreat towards Xincheng. Some soldiers even gave up the spear and shield in their hands in order to run faster.

The 1,000 cavalry that was highly anticipated by the Goguryeo General had already retreated under the impact of the battered cavalry of eight regiments. For these Sui cavalry with excellent armor and excellent equipment, the Goguryeo cavalry had no choice but to show a one-sided trend.

Li Benlei was riding a war horse around Chen Kefu. At this time, when he saw the Goguryeo array finally became chaotic, he immediately said, "Sir, directly attack the Goguryeo array, directly break their array, cut them into small square arrays, and then surround them bit by bit."

Chen Kefu nodded. At this time, the Goguryeo people's spear formation had no complete defense line and had a lot of loopholes, which was indeed a good opportunity.

"Mr. Zhang He, you quickly took two groups of people around the enemy array and attacked from behind. Lord Li Benlei and the rest of the lords, attacked me from the front. All of them charged! Kill!"

"kill!"

With a roar, the five regiments of the military camp directly pressed against the enemy's infantry phalanx led by Chen Kefu and Li Benlei. This time, they did not wander from both sides of the display, but instead rushed with spears in the front row, followed by a scimitar, and directly cut into the enemy's phalanx from the front. The entire phalanx, the most difficult thing for the cavalry to attack was the outermost layers, which were lined up with spears, and they were really killing weapons against the cavalry. However, after cutting into the formation, the cavalry rushed into the cream like a hot iron brazing, which melted at the first encounter without any obstacles.

Chen Kefu and others did not stop fighting, but directly led the cavalry to cut the entire square formation into two halves, and then divided them into two pairs again, and continued to divide the two halves, cutting them continuously, completely cutting the entire square formation into small square formations. The infantry who lost the protection of the large square formation had no choice but to go in front of the battling cavalry at high speed. They could only fight back against the Sui army soldiers like the lamb to be slaughtered, but they had already made up for the general situation.

"Sir, go quickly. This Sui army is an elite force. If we are defeated, we should retreat to Xincheng first. Xincheng cannot be lost." A general next to Gao Qi said hurriedly.

Gao Qi looked at the infantry camp that had been completely cut into various small square formations by the Sui army, and sighed helplessly. This time it seemed that I was careless, let's go." After saying that, he led hundreds of remaining soldiers under his command and rushed towards the new city to the east.

Chen Kefu saw Gao Qi's beautiful armor at a glance. When he looked at the hundreds of defeated soldiers who were about to retreat in panic, he roughly guessed that the man was the coach of more than 10,000 Goguryeo people.

"Rolin, bring a regiment and catch up with the commander of the Goguryeo with me. The rest continued to surround and kill these Goguryeo until they surrendered." After that, Chen Kefu led two hundred people to look at the flag of the Goguryeo commander and chased him. Many defeated Goguryeo soldiers looked at the flag and wanted to gather with the main general, but they would be rushed hard by Chen Kefu with cavalry. Gradually, the defeated Goguryeo soldiers not only stopped gathering over when they saw the flag, but instead turned around and ran away immediately when they saw the flag.

Gao Qi was as anxious as a dog that was stranded. Now he regretted it very much. Why did he scare the Sui army away because he was worried that he would fight against the Sui army under the city? If he had directly fought against the Sui army with the Xincheng, he would not have to be chased so hard now.

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

"General, as long as you pass this woods, you will reach the new city. The Sui army is still far away from us, so we will definitely retreat to the new city safely."

As soon as the guard finished speaking, a dense rain of arrows shot out from the woods. Gao Qi and the hundreds of soldiers who were completely unprepared immediately neighed and howled. Large numbers of people fell to the ground. Even Gao Qi was hit by an arrow on his leg and fell off the horse and couldn't move.

After a few rains of arrows, a large group of Sui cavalry rushed out of the woods and slashed at the Goguryeo generals who were still defending.

"Master, we seem to have caught a big fish. Look at the boy's armor and cloak, it is actually a white martened fish. It must be a big fish. Now we have sent it." The speaker was a team leader. Their team was sent by Zhang He, who was responsible for surrounding the woods from behind, to prevent any fish that missed the net.

The team was also a veteran who participated in the Liao War last time. He only glanced at Gao Qi's armor and laughed loudly.

"It's really a waste of luck. This guy is a mattress, which is the highest commander of the Goguryeo local city. Not only does he command the troops, but he also manages the places of a big city. We will make a lot of money this time. When we present this guy to Your Majesty, we will definitely get your Majesty's reward. If Your Majesty is happy, he might be able to upgrade to another level."

Several people were talking and laughing, but they saw that Chen Kefu, the chief general of the Pojun Camp, had already arrived with more than a hundred people.

The team was immediately hiding Gao Qi to the horse, saying happily to Chen Kefu, "General, Xiaodi and others set up an ambush here according to Lord Zhang He's order, but they didn't expect to catch a big fish. I recognize this man's official uniform, which is a mattress, the highest commander of this city."

Chen Kefu nodded, "This is your contribution. After the war, I will definitely reward you according to your merits. I did a good job!"

Chen Kefu looked at Gao Qi who was pressed to kneel on the ground, and most of the two or three hundred remaining soldiers, had been killed, and only a few of them were still lying on the ground and howling.

"Rolin, send a cavalry to report to General Li Benlei and ask him to prepare for the troops to pick us up. We will go into the new city first."

Luo Lin said with some confusion, "Sir, although we defeated Goguryeo's army out of the city, according to the news of the horse exploration, the Goguryeo people still have nearly 10,000 troops in the city. How could we enter the city immediately?"
