Chapter 67 Bloody Battle

When Zhang Shou was in a dilemma, the Goguryeo army was getting closer and closer to them. On the outside of the dense forest, you could already see the dust and smoke from the Goguryeo cavalry.

"Report, General, Goguryeo's army is only five miles away." Two more scouts came back and reported to Zhang Shou.

Zhang Shou raised the telescope in his hand and looked forward. Sure enough, the blurred figure of the Goguryeo army had appeared in the camera. At the speed of Goguryeo's marching, the forward could reach it with just one incense stick.

"Send the order, everyone is ready to intercept the Goguryeo army!"

"Yes!" He responded in a coaxing voice. The soldiers began to tie the horse's belly again, check the saddle and weapons, and took out their own bows and arrows to test it carefully. Thousands of soldiers and the Sui army had no other noise except for testing the weapons, as if they did not take the upcoming battle seriously at all.

This confidence is based on the successes of the victory since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty. The Chen Dynasty was gone and the Eastern Turks disappeared. In half a year, the Goguryeo people had lost most of their territory. So what if there are many people in Goguryeo now, it's just a group of native chickens and tiles.

Only Zhang Shou was deeply worried. The rabbit was anxious and wanted to bite people. At present, these Goguryeo people were about to run to a safe place, but they were suddenly stopped. Once they got crazy, they usually had 100% combat power, and they probably had to exert 200% combat power. He was gambling with the lives of more than 3,000 subordinates, but this consequence was not allowed to bet.

It seems that after just a moment, the Goguryeo team could already be seen with the naked eye. After three days of hard marching, this Goguryeo army was already showing fatigue. It was now October and the weather was getting colder. However, Goguryeo soldiers could only wear straw sandals, and a small number of people could only barefoot. Fortunately, the cavalry had their feet worn out.

Although Yuan Taizuo believed that the remaining defenders and the Silla coalition could block the Sui army for at least three or five days, he was still worried and urged the soldiers to rush to the road, causing many soldiers to complain. If they had not been able to rest for dozens of miles to inspire them, many people would probably sit on the ground and refuse to get up.

The Sui army in the dense forest had already turned over and the horses were gone. Yuan Taizuo was determined to escape. He never dreamed that a Sui army ran ahead of them. Although the scout passed by in a hurry, he did not check the forest and knew nothing about the Sui army.

"Preparation!" Zhang Shou in the forest made his dull voice and pulled out his long sword.

"General, what is that?" a soldier called out, pointing his finger to the left, his face full of excitement.

Zhang Shou hurriedly looked towards the fingers of his personal soldiers. A few miles away from the left of the Goguryeo army, another smoke rose up. Although the smoke and dust were blurry, the flag could not be seen clearly, but Zhang Shou saw a faint red color.

"That's our people!" Zhang Shou's face was filled with joy, and hesitated no longer: "Kill!" He drew out his long sword and rushed out of the dense forest first.

"Zheng!" A long sword was released from sheath, and more than three thousand Sui troops followed Zhang Shou together, like a tiger coming out of the gate, pounced towards the Goguryeo army several miles away, rustling the leaves of the entire dense forest. Before the people arrived, the sound of killing had already penetrated the Goguryeo team.

"Sui Army, Sui Army." The Goguryeo soldiers in front of him shouted shrillly, and the entire advance team was paused, and then they became a mess. These Goguryeo soldiers were stationed in the camp by the river. After the Sui army crossed the river, they did not dare to go out, which seriously damaged their morale. Moreover, they had been marching urgently for three days and were weak all over. Suddenly, they were blocked by the Sui army when they were about to arrive at a safe place. How could they not panic?

"Stay calm, there are not many of them. Brothers, kill them, kill them, and we will be safe." Gao Huizhen, the general of Goguryeo, shouted and led two thousand cavalry to greet the Sui army. Yuan was too deceitful, so Goguryeo quickly sent personal soldiers to appease the army, and the Goguryeo army returned to normal.

"The Sui army, there are also Sui army on the left!"

"The Sui army is coming behind!"

...

Another continuous scream was heard, and there was dust and smoke on the left side of Goguryeo, and at first glance, you could tell that the army was approaching. What else could there be except the Sui army?

"We're done." Some Goguryeo soldiers cried in despair. If the Sui army hadn't rushed to the scene, they would have thrown away their weapons and fled.

"What are you panic? Let's fight, let's fight!" The officers of Goguryeo shouted, and the cavalry came forward one after another to meet the Sui army. It should be said that the cavalry of Goguryeo is quite good.

"shoot!"

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Countless arrows shot towards the cavalry coming to Goguryeo, and in a blink of an eye it fell into the formation. Gao Huizhen's subordinates suddenly turned over and over, and the charge line seemed much sparse.

"Cum again!"

"Cum again!"

Each shot will bring hundreds of casualties to the Goguryeo army. The Goguryeo cavalry gritted their teeth and took time to shoot cold arrows forward from time to time. However, because their teams are not in place, the arrows shot are greatly reduced, and only a dozen unlucky Sui troops fell from the horse.

When facing the enemy, as the other side got closer, they rationally put away their bows and arrows, holding horse spears or long swords. One was eager to escape, while the other was trying to block the enemy to death. Whoever is stronger and who is weak will be determined soon.

"ah!"

"Bang!"

"kill!"

...

Various voices gathered together, and the two sides collided suddenly and tried their best to kill each other with weapons. Zhang Shou's army had been waiting for a while and launched an assault first. In general, it still had the upper hand. Goguryeo soldiers fell off the horse, and hundreds of Goguryeo cavalry died in just one round. The Sui army suffered less than fifty casualties, and the casualties ratio between the two sides reached about one to five. However, after one round, the Sui army lost the advantage of speed, and the two sides became intertwined and fought, and the casualties of the Sui army began to grow bigger.

"What should I do if Lord Mo Lizhi?" The generals in the center of the Goguryeo army surrounded Yuan Taizuo, looking panicked.

"General Yizhi, you will lead five thousand troops to fight to the left. Be sure to block the Sui army tightly. Even if there are only one soldiers and one soldiers left, you are not allowed to retreat."

"Yes." The general named Yizhi was obviously Yuan Taizuo's confidant. After hearing the order, he did not say anything, and then clasped his fists and turned his head back and said, "My sons, what should Sui Gou do if he wants to stop us from returning home?"

"I hope to follow the general to kill the enemy!"

"Okay, come with me!" After saying that, the general named Yizhi led his horse to the left, and five thousand Goguryeo troops followed behind and rolled in. Everyone felt relieved when they saw someone resisting the Sui army on the left.

Yuan Taizuo's eyes swept over, and the generals quickly lowered their heads. The dust and smoke of the Sui army behind him were even bigger. No one wanted to die by himself. Yuan Taizuo was extremely angry, but his face was calm. He even wanted to choose a fearful devil, so he turned to his other confidant: "General, you will be in charge of the 5,000 troops to meet the Sui army behind the enemy. I only have one sentence. Be sure to block the Sui army, even if there is only one soldier and one soldier left, you can't retreat."

"Yes, I will obey the order!" The general named Qiqi turned back and led his troops away.

"All the rest of the generals, all of us will be safe as long as we break through the blockade of the Sui army ahead." At the critical moment, Yuan Taizuo finally took out the courage to cut off his arm and sent all his confidants to take on the task of blocking the enemy.

"Princess, what should we do?" Seeing the arrival of the Sui army, the ordinary Goguryeo people fled desperately. The plain land was vast, so the grass, ditches, and riverside were all fleeing ordinary people. Fortunately, the Sui army did not chase them, and countless people were injured. Princess Shande and her party also fled to a short bush with the people, laying on the ground and looking forward secretly.

Although Princess Shande guessed that the Sui army would catch up, she did not expect that the Sui army would block the road ahead. The battle has begun. If she wants to escape, she must pass through the battlefield. Who knows if she will be involved? Once she is involved, the few people under her will not even be left.

"Wait, we will leave until the evening." Princess Shande immediately made up her mind. No matter how much Goguryeo has an army of 50,000, including more than 7,000 cavalry, which would not be able to support it for half a day, but she didn't know that Yuan Taizuo had no intention of defending at all. If she defended here, the Sui army would only increase, and it would be useless to be able to defend for ten days and half a month.

As the Goguryeo infantry surged up, Zhang Shou's army suddenly seemed to be trapped in the mud and could not move. Zhang Shou was anxious and shouted: "Kill!"

He took the lead and rushed forward, waved the long sword in his hand. The person in charge of Piyi killed two Goguryeo cavalry in succession. The Sui army behind him was shocked and followed the chief general and advanced. The entire team finally started moving again.

"Swish!" A long arrow flew towards Zhang Shou, and his personal soldiers quickly protected him with a shield. With a bang, the arrow shot on the shield.

Gao Huizhen put down his longbow with regret. He had already seen that Zhang Shou was the main general of the Sui army. If he shot, it would definitely cause chaos in the Sui army. After shooting an arrow, Zhang Shou's personal soldiers significantly strengthened their defense and could no longer sneak attack.

"General, the brothers have suffered so much casualties. Let's go beyond the road and chase after him." A blood-covered Sui army squeezed in front of Zhang Shou and shouted loudly.
