Chapter 78 Argument

Seeing that his chief general took the lead in retreating, the other two thousand Goguryeo cavalry who had not moved turned around and turned around and ran away.

"It's not that easy to run." Yang Yong sneered and raised his sword: "Chasing!"

The remaining eight hundred riders suddenly "splash, splash." They followed the Goguryeo people and bit the Goguryeo's tail tightly.

Seeing Zhou army chasing, Wen Da knew that the Zhou army's horsepower was still above his cavalry. If he ignored it, he might have turned into a defeat. He hurriedly looked around and said, "Who can stop the enemy soldiers?"

The people on both sides looked at each other, and it was undoubtedly a life-and-dea death to stay and block the enemy. In the end, Wenda's deputy general stepped forward: "General, the last general is willing to stay and block the enemy."

Wenda nodded, and the pursuers of Zhou army were behind him. Without caring about being polite, he bent down to the deputy general and bowed: "Please let the general." He was already leaving.

The deputy general of Goguryeo turned his horse's head, and there were only about 200 people around him, and he sent a desperate attempt to fight the Zhou army chasing him. These Goguryeo cavalry themselves were slower than the Zhou army, and turned around again. Basically, the horses just raised their speed and the Zhou army chased after them, and were stabbed off the horse with a lightning speed, and none of them were spared.

However, the blocking of these more than 200 people still played a role. The Goguryeo army had already distanced itself from the Zhou army. It would be much more difficult to catch up. Yang Yong issued an order to withdraw his troops in a timely manner.

The Goguryeo people took advantage of the situation, but returned in great defeat, leaving five or six hundred corpses on the scene. This was a big setback for the Goguryeo people who had only 3,000 cavalrymen. The most important thing was that it greatly affected the Goguryeo people. When they crossed the Liao River, they thought that there were less than a thousand remaining troops on the other side, and their contributions were at their fingertips. However, this less than a thousand remaining troops drove them into a rush.

When Wei Podi saw Yang Yong leading his army to chase the enemy, he was about to follow him, but before he could follow, the pursuit was over. Facing the back of the Goguryeo people fled in panic, all the Zhou army cheered.

Wei Po came to Yang Yong and praised: "Master, the powerful, the Goguryeo people are like clowns who jumped into the beam, and they broke with one blow. Taking advantage of this great victory, the adults might as well return to Yingzhou first."

Before leaving, he received Wei Shikang's heavy advice. He knew that the Goguryeo people had just left in a small frustration and would return after meeting the infantry. He thought about it and asked Yang Yong to return to Yingzhou earlier.

Yang Yong waved his hand: "I will never destroy the soldiers who cross the river in Goguryeo and will not return to Yingzhou. I will never say this again."

When Wei Podi heard this, he had to give up the idea of ​​letting Yang Yong go back, but he followed Yang Yong closely. After almost an hour, Goguryeo's army finally made a comeback. This time Wenda learned his lesson, infantry was in front, cavalry was divided into two sides, and the entire army seemed boundless on the grassland.

"Dong, dong, dong..." The Goguryeo people took a break and attacked in a whole team. This time, Goguryeo was dispatched by infantry, and five thousand infantry rushed towards the Zhou army in black. Two thousand swords and shield soldiers were in front, one thousand archers were in the center, and two thousand spearmen were behind. The Goguryeo army came in a hurry and needed to cross the Liao River, and did not bring any long-range attack equipment.

The Zhou army had already climbed the hillside again, with two hills as rugged corners, and these two hills could accommodate three thousand people. Yang Yong only allowed the captives and extra war horses to stop at the top of the mountain, and a thousand cavalry stayed on the hillside, holding spears and horse spears, ready to rush down to fight against the Goguryeo people at any time. The other two thousand dismounted and changed to infantry, hiding behind a simple camp, and a thousand archers were ready to fire at any time. There were only five hundred swords and five hundred spearmen on both wings.

Although this was a plain, the Zhou army occupied the mountain, and the Goguryeo army had to attack backwards. Five thousand troops could not attack at the same time. The Goguryeo people first dispatched only sword and shield soldiers, and the archers and spearmen behind stopped. The cavalry rushed to the formation beside them, and when the cavalry on the hillside of the Zhou army went out, they stepped forward to intercept the attack.

The Goguryeo people were in good condition in their military use, and Yang Yong couldn't help but secretly praised it. If there were no Khitans, even if the Zhou army could win, they would have suffered heavy casualties and could only win a miserable victory.

The Goguryeo infantry was getting closer and closer, and the sword and shield soldiers in front had already entered the range of the Zhou army, but the front and above of these sword and shield hands were densely covered by shields, leaving no gaps at all.

"After the bow and arrow retreat, the lancers advanced three steps."

"Crazy." The archers in front retreated, revealing the spearmen behind. The front of Zhou army suddenly turned into a forest of steel, and the tip of the spears emitted a cold light.

When the Goguryeo soldiers arrived in front of the Zhou army, they had to lift their shields because the simple wooden fence built by the Zhou army in front blocked their way forward. To pass, they either cut off the fence or flipped over.

"prick!"

When the shield of the Goguryeo soldiers lit up, Zhou Jun stabbed the spear in his hand without hesitation, stabbing into the bottom of the Goguryeo soldiers like a poisonous snake.

"Ah." A scream came, and most of the Goguryeo soldiers in the front row were pierced on their thighs.

"Catch it!" As soon as the spear stabbed by Zhou Jun was retracted, the Goguryeo soldier who was pierced his thigh immediately fell to the ground in pain, but he was unable to die for a while. He could only wait slowly for his blood to flow away. The Goguryeo soldier behind him had red eyes and could only step on Zhou's companion in front to continue to slide the fence.

"Spit!" Hundreds of cold spears stabbed Goguryeo soldiers, and the previous scene was repeated.

When the height of Goguryeo soldiers and wounded soldiers was about the same level as the fence, the dead fence finally made the Goguryeo soldiers turn over, forcing the Goguryeo soldiers who were so angry that they blocked Zhou Jun's spear with their shields, and slashed the knife in their hands forward. The Zhou army finally began to suffer casualties.

"The spearmen took a step back, and the sword and shield soldiers advanced!" Yang Yong made a decision and asked his personal soldiers to sing flags.

"Crack, Crack." A piece of armor rubbed out, and a shield was stretched out in front of the Zhou army, and the spearmen stabbed the opponent through the gaps in the shield behind. Goguryeo lacked spearmen. The junction of the two armies was equivalent to one person who had to deal with the combined attack of the Zhou army's gunmen and shieldmen, which was a great loss. Many of the Goguryeo shieldmen were directly picked up by the Zhou army's gunmen.

Wenda and the fifth princess both saw that their single shield soldiers were at a loss, but they could not do anything about it. They were very afraid of the Zhou army's archers. The Zhou army itself had the advantage of being condescending. Judging from the previous confrontation, they also had crossbow soldiers who attacked the Zhou army. If their archers attacked too much, they would suffer heavy losses before they could get close. They could only hope that their swords and shield soldiers could break through the opponent's formation and twist the Zhou army's archers and archers could come on the field.

But what disappointed Wenda was the whole day of attack. The sword and shield soldiers in front were unable to defeat the formation behind the Zhou army's spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, and had to withdraw the troops. After a whole day of battle, nearly half of the two thousand sword and shield soldiers in Goguryeo suffered casualties, while the Zhou army suffered less than 200 casualties. According to this ratio, the first one to be consumed will be the Goguryeo soldiers.

That night, Wenda and his generals were racking their brains to study how to continue attacking the Zhou army tomorrow, but Yang Yong was sleeping peacefully on the mountain. Judging from the battle between the two sides today, if the Goguryeo people had no follow-up instructions, they would have been able to win the battle with their troops alone, not to mention the Khitan ambush.

During the day, Yang Yong sent Wei Chong to take the two hundred Zhou troops to detour behind Goguryeo. Wei Chong's mission was to destroy the ferry left by the Goguryeo people on the edge of the Liao River. Although it is the dry season and the water surface of the Liao River is not too wide, the river water is cold and bone-broken. Once there is no ferry, the Goguryeo people would not have time to withdraw their troops even if they want to.

Tens of miles away from the battlefield, all the leaders of the Rilian army were sleepless all night and were arguing endlessly. The focus of their argument was of course whether they should send troops to help the Zhou army attack Goguryeo.

Although Wutu told Zhou Jun the detailed location of his tribe, Luo Yi and two followers still searched for him for a day. After seeing Luo Yi, Wutu was very excited and came over to hug Luo Yi: "Mr. Luo, I didn't expect you to come to me so soon. Today, the tribe held a celebration meeting, go and have a drink."

Luo Yi shook his head: "Prince Wutu, I don't have time to drink with you today, but there is an incident that requires you."

"You are polite, Lord Luo, Da Zhou has helped me with the Rilian troops. If you have any questions, please give me the order." Wu Tu slapped his chest and made a thud.

"Okay, I'm not polite." Luo Yi passed Yang Yong's words to Wutu. Wutu's face changed drastically. The Khitans were sandwiched between the Great Zhou and Goguryeo, separated from the Goguryeo and the Liaohe River, but were connected to the Great Zhou. If the Great Zhou had not intentionally conquered the grassland, whether the Khitans could maintain independence now is still a question. Although the Goguryeo people are dealing with the Great Zhou, they are bravely crossing the Liaohe River, which is really a matter of life and death for the Khitans.

Wutu knew that the Khitans had to send troops this time and could never be successful at both ends. Otherwise, no matter who wins or loses, it would be a disaster for the Khitans. If the Goguryeo wins, their tentacles will extend to the west of the Liaohe River. If the Zhou army wins, they will definitely blame the Khitans for not saving them.

This time, Wutu helped the Zhou army defeat Gao Baoning, not only obtained a lot of material, but also obtained Gao Baoning's original pasture. His prestige in the clan increased greatly. However, he was just the second prince after all, and his father Wu Ligu had to nod his approval for major issues. Wutu hurriedly said: "Mr. Luo, the clan leader needs to be the leader of this matter. Please come with me."

The tribe's elders and subordinates of the Japanese and Lian tribes were smiling in the past few days, and they got such a large piece of grassland without any effort. Anyone knew that the Japanese and Lian tribes were going to flourish. Wu Ligu was busy these two days. He was about to organize his tribe to move to the grassland. Otherwise, if other tribes take it first in the spring tomorrow, it would be difficult to get it back.

Although the Khitans were nomadic peoples, migration was much more troublesome than spring and summer when it was approaching winter because they had to prepare for the winter for Dali for livestock. Seeing that their son brought a few strangers to see him, Wu Ligu was very surprised: "Wutu, if you don't help the tribe migrate, what's the matter with me?"

Wutu quickly bent down and saluted: "Dear Father, these three are still the Great Zhou official army. It is their help that we have obtained a new grassland. Now they need help from the Rilian Division if they have something to do, so I would like to ask my father to agree."

Wu Ligu looked up and down at Luo Yi and the other two, with smiles on his face: "You help us get the pasture, that is my friend of the Japanese company. My friend's request will not refuse. Tell me, what's wrong, the guests of the Great Zhou."

"My clan, the Goguryeo people crossed the Liao River, not only provoked the Great Zhou, but also violated the interests of your troops. Now our Great Zhou official army is fighting with the Goguryeo people. We also ask your troops to send troops together to annihilate the Goguryeo people who crossed the river."

Nearly ten thousand troops of Goguryeo crossed the river. How could the Khitans, who were in this land, not receive the news? It’s just that the Khitan is now covered with loose sand. As long as it doesn’t bully itself, everyone will naturally be ostrich. Now the Great Zhou has come to the door, and it cannot be refused immediately due to reason.

Wu Ligu hurriedly said, "Dear guest, this matter is important, I must discuss with the elders of the clan."

Luo Yi had no choice but to nod: "Okay, the military situation is like fire, I hope the patriarch can make a decision as soon as possible."

"Of course, we can make a decision tonight, Wutu, you will take the guests down for rest." After Luo Yi and the others went down, Wu Ligu immediately ordered: "Call the elders of the clan to discuss matters."

The "Woooo" horns sounded, and the elder of the Japanese and corporate minister who was packing up all kinds of things to be moved was stunned. This was a signal of emergency convening among the clans. All the elders of the Japanese and corporate ministers quickly threw down their work and rushed to the clan leader's tent.

There were 56 elders in the Rilian tribe. Half an hour later, except for the seven elders who had not returned, the rest of the elders came to Wuligu's camp. When Wuligu explained the situation, the entire camp suddenly seemed to be in a ripple. The young and middle-aged people in the Rilian tribe had only more than 10,000 people. Whether it was the Great Zhou or Goguryeo, they were all giants that could not be missed. Now they had to deal with one side, and many people were panicked.

"Clan leader, never send troops. If we send troops, we will cause disaster?" One chief shouted immediately.

"Yes, yes, the patriarch, Goguryeo has 300,000 armored arms, and has destroyed countless countries. You must not offend them." Many elders attached themselves.
