"This is impossible!" Yuan Gaisuwen sat on the horse's back with a dull look, unable to believe the reward of exploring the horse.

"Didn't it mean that the Tang army will arrive at at least two days?" Yuan Gai Suwen looked at the scout who reported the news, hoping that it was just a false alarm. His lips were trembling when he asked, which was simply an incredible thing in his life. At this moment, he finally tasted a feeling called fear.

"The Tang army that came was all cavalry." The bloody horse prodding replied with difficulty, "It was overwhelming, at least 50,000. Go forward lightly and will arrive outside the city before sunset at the latest."

The scout's response made Yuan Gai Suwen feel struck by lightning. He suddenly realized that he had been deceived by the Tang people.

The main force of the Tang army has always been approaching Liaodong City at a uniform speed, and he always thought that it would take at least two days for them to arrive. But at this time, the Tang army suddenly sent a large number of cavalry to attack, and it was obvious that he wanted to attack forward and back when his main force was entangled in Liaodong City.

There is no doubt that this is a conspiracy. What Yuan Gaisuwen is confused about is that the city is obviously surrounded by him, and even a carrier pigeon cannot fly out. How did the defenders in the city contact the main force of the Tang army?

Yuan Gai Suwen, who didn't know what radio technology was, wanted to break his head and couldn't figure out how the Tang army in the city contacted the main force of the Tang army outside, and could actually control the time so well.

Now is the time when the Goguryeo soldiers are depressed and exhausted physically and mentally. Once he orders to retreat at this time, it will inevitably lead to large-scale chaos. Unless he retreats with a small number of troops, it will be completely impossible for the entire 200,000 troops to withdraw in a short period of time.

Although he suffered heavy blows and suffered extremely tragic losses, at this time, Yuan Gaisuwen still had more than 200,000 troops in his hands. It was not an easy task to mobilize so many troops. It required meticulous work and a long time.

Not to mention that the Goguryeo soldiers at this time were depressed and organized in chaos due to the fierce siege battle and even more tragic casualties. Once the news of the main force of the Tang army was spread, it would not be impossible for the bombing to collapse immediately.

The pale face of Yuan Gaisuwen is worthy of being a hero. After a brief loss of consciousness, he quickly recovered. He first ordered the blockade of this news, and the army would never allow him to learn that the main force of the Tang army was about to arrive. Then he sent messengers to Anshicheng and other rear cities to ask them to close the city gate and take strict vigilance.

After these orders are issued, the most important thing is to withdraw all the troops.

Yuan Gai Suwen first found his confidant general and ordered him to take some of his troops and quickly leave the camp to fight against the Tang army. He delayed the arrival of the main force of the Tang army as much as possible. The final bottom line was to delay until tomorrow morning, leaving him with enough reaction time.

Then Yuan Gai Suwen called out several generals, but did not inform them of the arrival of the main force of the Tang army. Instead, they asked them to lead their troops to capture the strange inner city before dark no matter what.

These are the bait left by Yuan Gaisuwen, used to deceive the Tang army in the city to prevent them from coming out to entangle their retreat. His plan was very simple, while blocking the main force of the Tang army from approaching, while stabilizing the Tang army in the city. After nightfall, he quickly left with his elite troops and returned to Anshi City.

As for those who were left behind, they had completely become abandoned sons who delayed the pursuit of the Tang army. In this way, although the losses would still be terrible, Yen Gassuwen could take away at least 150,000 elite troops. If you are lucky, maybe tens of thousands of people who were left behind could escape for the lucky day.

I have to say that Yeon Gassuwen's ability is still good. This kind of response method is very effective. Once successful, you can at least save most of his elite main forces.

Yan Fei in the city did not see the changes in the Goguryeo people. He just saw that the Goguryeo people's offensive became more fierce, and he was completely desperate to fill people under the city wall. If this situation continued to develop, it might be possible that Yuan Gaisuwen could escape with his main force.

But the problem is that although Yan Fei could not see Yuan Gai Suwen's arrangement, he had radio. Through the radio contact, he already knew that Li Shimin sent tens of thousands of cavalry roaring over, so he naturally understood that now was a good time to entangle the Goguryeo people and make them unable to escape.

"The time is here." Yan Fei didn't explain anything, but simply told Su Dingfang next to him that it was time.

Su Dingfang nodded, turned around and went down the city wall to the cavalry that had been ready to go.

After capturing Liaodong City, Yan Fei asked Su Dingfang to send a portion of his men to leave the battlefield with a large number of war horses to avoid the loss of these war horses or fall into the hands of the Goguryeo people. However, a batch of war horses were still retained in the city, ready to be used as an emergency. At this moment, it was time to use them.

The Tang army suffered great losses in the fierce battles these days. Even with the various materials and equipment provided by Yan Fei, five or six thousand troops were still damaged in the face of the crazy attack of hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo people. Fortunately, there were many wounded among these people. With the special medicines brought by Yan Fei and the treatment of many medical supplies, most of the wounded were cured.

Of course, the Han people who were left behind suffered much more losses. Among the more than 10,000 civilians, there were only three or four thousand left in the cement city, and most of them were injured. However, these people were nominally Goguryeo, and they were kept entirely because of Yan Fei's request.

Fortunately, although they were treated as cannon fodder, at least they were not deducted in terms of daily use and medical supplies.

The losses of thousands of people are definitely a huge victory compared to the losses of at least more than 100,000 people in the Goguryeo people. At this time, when they are about to win the final victory, the most difficult task has arrived.

In order to be able to hold back the Goguryeo people, it is inevitable that the attack in the city will be a group of Goguryeo people. If you are simply defense, the Goguryeo people outside take the initiative and can leave at any time if you want to leave.

However, attacking at this time will definitely be a life-and-death death. Facing an enemy with a large number of more than oneself, it is almost impossible to survive once it breaks out of the protection of the city wall and falls into a siege. But there are still a large number of soldiers who have voluntarily signed up. They are not so aware of how high they are, but they know very clearly that although the danger is, it is the best opportunity to change their destiny facing the loess and facing the sky.

Su Dingfang raised his head and nodded to Yan Fei on the city wall, then raised his hand and dropped his armor. As the heavy iron gate in front of him slowly opened, Su Dingfang roared angrily, waved the sword in his hand and rushed out of the city gate. Behind him were more than 3,000 heavy armored cavalry, also wearing heavy armor.

There is only one gate in this cement city, which is the alloy gate brought by Yan Fei from the modern world. In the past two days, the Goguryeo people tried every means but couldn't shake the gate at all. Just as they gathered in the distance and were about to launch another attack, the door that was as heavy as Mount Tai slowly opened.

Amid the deafening sound of horse hooves, a large number of Tang soldiers rushed out of the city gate like a tide.

Because the Tang army had never fought back before, the Goguryeo people were not prepared for this. Su Dingfang led thousands of elite cavalry into the Goguryeo army formation and wanted to slaughter. This not only caused the Goguryeo people to fall into collapse and chaos, but also directly interrupted the deployment of Yoon Gassuwen. If the military force of the attack increased tenfold, it would definitely not be difficult to completely defeat the Goguryeo people.

Yuan Gaisuwen, who was arranging the retreat, suddenly changed his expression after seeing the Tang army's strong counterattack. Looking at his subordinates who were gradually falling into chaos, Yuan Gaisuwen, who had a ugly face, had to call back the cavalry who were about to set off to fight against the main force of the Tang army and launch a counterattack in the city.

Under normal circumstances, the Goguryeo people would not be so fragile. They were completely defeated by the Tang army once and once. The problem is that these Goguryeo people have fought in a high intensity for many days. Every day they spend in blood, death, fire, and the ubiquitous odor.

The most terrifying thing is the casualty rate that scares everyone. Every wave of soldiers sent to the battlefield to prepare to attack the city wall almost goes on the road to the gates of hell.

Such a terrible environment, even if placed in the modern world, will lead to battlefield stress syndrome that requires comfort to the rich and beautiful women, let alone in this era.

Therefore, when the Tang army counterattacked, the Goguryeo, who was almost like a walking corpse, quickly fell into a state of collapse like a broken spring. If it weren't for Yuan Gaisuwen's hastily mobilized the troops who were preparing to fight back against the Tang army, it would be impossible to destroy all aspects.

As tens of thousands of Goguryeo cavalry were thrown into the battlefield, Su Dingfang's assault was finally curbed. The two sides fought each other in the narrow and dilapidated city of Liaodong, which was almost completely destroyed. The corpses of both sides were intertwined layer by layer. The bright red blood seemed to soak the entire city in a sea of ​​blood.

Seeing the Goguryeo people counterattack strongly, Yan Fei immediately notified Su Dingfang through a walkie-talkie to recover his power and retreat to a place not far from the cement city to get support from the defenders on the top of the city.

The Goguryeo cavalry that was chasing was hit hard like a storm. It was okay for the Tang army to use the crossbow, but they were wearing iron armor and holding shields, and they could defend themselves somehow. But when Yan Fei set up Gatlin on the top of the city, the Goguryeo people who were crowded on the streets due to the influence of many building wreckage were in trouble. Thousands of bullets swept over, leaving behind the bodies of the earth.

As long as the Goguryeo retreated, Su Dingfang, who had a chance to breathe, immediately led his men to charge again to bite the Goguryeo. Both sides kept fighting each other in the city. The Tang army kept sending reinforcements to hold the Goguryeo. The Goguryeo also bit the bullet and sent reinforcements to resist, because Yoon Gaisuwen knew very well that once he let go, the collapse of the entire army would be the result.

As the sun gradually sets, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty may come to kill each other at any time. Yuan Gaisuwen's face, who was clenching his fists, kept changing.

While he was thinking of stopping the loss, he retreated with the troops around him. But on the other hand, he couldn't let go of the army that was getting deeper and deeper, and was unwilling to leave. Under this difficult mentality, the most precious time passed.

Just as Yeon Gassuwen finally made up his mind to abandon the soldiers and horses that were in chaos and retreated with only the cavalry beside him. He suddenly found that the ground was trembling slightly.

On the east side of Liaodong City, a black line appeared from the horizon, and then the black line turned into a tide composed of countless cavalrymen.
