Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 461
There are mountains and forests on both sides of the road on both banks. The main road is in a valley between the two mountains. The valley is very long, but it is still wide. However, there is a barrier in the middle of the Tiger River, which makes this place a dangerous place.

In the afternoon, Gao Yanwu led [-] infantry reinforcements from Anshi to arrive, and the striker marched about ten miles forward with about a thousand people.Luo Cheng stood still and let the thousand riders cross the river.

After the forward crossed the river, they continued to open the way ahead. They did not find the ambush of the left fifth army.

The sun was rising, and Gao Yanwu's large army finally arrived. They were not moving fast. There were about [-] to [-] cavalry and more than [-] infantry. Min Zhuang was in charge of driving the carts with heavy supplies.

Because the river was not too deep, they didn't stop to build a bridge. They sent cavalry across the river to test the depth, and then began to cross the river.

Luo Chengcheng stood at the foot of the mountain behind the south bank, watching the soldiers and horses cross the river.

When Luo Cheng saw that the handsome flag of Anshi's reinforcements had also crossed the Tiger River, and half of the whole army had crossed the river, a smile appeared on his face.

He raised his hand.

"Beat the drum, blow the horn, attack!"

The drums of war suddenly sounded heavily, and horns echoed in the mountains and fields.

Before the Goguryeo people came back to their senses, the second general, Song Laosheng, had already waved the command flag.

The general Luo Cunxiao took the lead and rushed out of the woods first, followed by thousands of troops roaring out.

Du Fuwei, Fu Gongying, Zhou Dewei, Zhou Xin and others rushed out with their troops.

Hit halfway.

This is the most ruthless move in the art of war.

The people of Goguryeo obviously did not expect that a Sui army would suddenly appear in this place, which is still two hundred miles away from Beisha City.

After all, there is a medium-sized Koguryo mountain city, Jian'an City, only fifty miles to the east.

But the Sui army appeared in the most unlikely place they thought it would appear. Luo Cheng came across the sea, bypassed Beisha, and set up an ambush by the Tiger River between Anshi and Beisha. The location of the ambush was chosen only fifty miles away from Jian'an City.

This is a kind of psychological assurance. Jian'an City is fifty miles away, so after the reinforcements from An City arrived here, they relaxed their vigilance. They never expected that there would be a Sui army setting up an ambush here.

It's this kind of blackness under the lights.

Jian'an City is in the east, but Luo Cheng came from the sea from the west, while the reinforcements in An City came from the north and went south.

"kill!"

The Tiger River is not too deep, but it is hundreds of feet wide in this section.

Half of the [-] An City reinforcements crossed the river, half were still on the north bank of the river, and many people were still swimming in the belly-deep river.

All of a sudden, it was a mess.

Seeing this, Gao Yanwu secretly exclaimed that it was not good.

But at this time, there is no other choice, so he can only bite the bullet and order a last stand.

"Form, form!"

Facing the fiercely charged Sui army, Gao Yanwu tried to stabilize the morale of the army and fought against the odds.

But how could Luo Cheng give him such a chance.

Trumpets sound, drums don't stop.

Luo Siye and Zhao Gui, who had long been hiding in the forest at the foot of the mountain on the north bank, charged out with light cavalry, and Shi Xin also mounted a regiment of heavy cavalry with a thousand wooden oxen and horses in armor.

Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji, Huang Junhan, Zhai Rang, Su Dingfang, Bing Yuanzhen, Xue Wanche, Pei Xingyan, Laizheng, Fei Qingnu...
One after another, all the brave generals are galloping on horseback.

The sky was full of smoke and dust.

in the smoke.

The banner of the Sui Army is so dazzling, especially the word Luo.

Gao Yanwu looked back and felt his scalp go numb.

But at this time, on the hillsides on both sides, one after another flags were erected, the Sui flag, the Luo character general flag, and the left five army flags, which made the Goguryeo generals who could read Chinese characters even more flustered.

Left Fifth Army, Luo Cheng.

With so many flags, how many soldiers and horses are here?

They just feel that they are surrounded on all sides.

There were shouts of killing everywhere.

Anshi's army could not look at each other from head to tail, and was cut off by a hundred-foot-wide Tiger River, unable to advance or retreat.

"Split them!"

The old four rushed and shouted, although he was just a scoundrel, but he followed Luo Cheng to suppress bandits in Henan and fought in Liaodong. He was also a man of more than a hundred battles. the general school.

No one needs to explain, the fourth child also knows what to do next.

Rush forward, divide and surround the Anshi army, divide and cut up bit by bit, and annihilate them.

The Left Fifth Army once broke [-] with [-] in Sashui, and over [-] with more than [-] in Beijiangkou.

Now waiting for work with ease, more than 2 people ambushed [-] people, that is really easy.

The generals of each army marched forward with clamor and clamor.

Although Gao Yanwu intends to divide his troops to fight, it is very difficult for even those elite troops to hold their ground, let alone him, if they are ambushed halfway through.

The Goguryeo army was in chaos.

Especially the rear formation on the north bank, where there were soldiers and civilians, as well as a large number of livestock.And Luo Cheng specially arranged for the most elite light cavalry and heavy cavalry to ambush and charge.

After a few rounds of charging, the rear line collapsed.

First, Goguryeo Qingzhuang fled in a panic, and then it made it difficult for the Goguryeo rear army to form an army. Finally, people panicked and lost their morale, and they began to flee.

When people start to flee, it is very difficult to regroup.

Without the army formation, the scattered infantry was even more unable to bear the cavalry.

What's more, after the light cavalry passed, Luo Shixin led the heavy cavalry to kill again.

The rear army completely collapsed and fled in all directions. Many people jumped into the water. Although the shallow water could not drown people, they were endangering the front army crossing the river.

Gao Yanwu was hit by the enemy.

The soldiers scattered and fled.

A large group of fierce generals of the Five Armies all set their sights on Gao Yanwu under Shuai's flag, charging round after round.

No matter how many people Gao Yanwu gathered, they were soon overwhelmed.

In the end, Gao Yanwu could only give up his plan to fight hard, and fight and retreat.

After finally leaving the river, there was no way to escape in the end, so he had to retreat to the mountain and was surrounded at last.

He watched helplessly as his more than 1 horsemen were divided, surrounded, and annihilated by the river at the foot of the mountain, or they had no choice but to surrender to the Sui army.

The fierce fighting continued until dusk.

The Tiger River, which was not as deep, was stained red with blood, and there were killed Goguryeo soldiers everywhere in the river.

at dusk.

Gao Yanwu looked at the battlefield with grief and indignation.

The Sui army had already surrounded him.

"If you don't surrender, you will set fire to the mountain!"

Facing Gao Yanwu's stubborn resistance, Luo Cheng only said one sentence.

Gao Yanwu had no choice but to go down the mountain obediently, abandoning his weapons and surrendering. He was surrounded on the mountain with no food or water. How long could he last?And Luo Cheng could burn his remaining thousands of defeated troops with one move of arson.

"Commander, our army beheaded more than [-] reinforcements from Goguryeo'an City, captured more than [-] people, and captured more than [-] civilians. We captured more than [-] horses, more than [-] cattle, and [-] sheep. "

These cattle and sheep were the food and grass on the road to the reinforcements in Anshi, but at this time they all fell into the hands of the Sui army.

"Go, go to Jian'an City!"

After meeting Gao Yanwu, Luo Cheng smiled and said to him.

Jian'an City, fifty miles away, already knew about the battle by the Laohu River, but they didn't dare to come out to support them. There were originally 3000 people in the city, and [-] people were sent to aid Beisha before, leaving only [-].

"Gao Yanwu, go and persuade him to surrender."

Gao Yanwu didn't want to go, but he didn't want to die, so he had to come to the city to persuade him to surrender.

At this time in Jian'an City, seeing the strong soldiers of the Sui army under the city, especially the banner of Luo Cheng, the god of war, and seeing that the city lord of An City, Gao Yanwu, was also defeated and captured, he came to persuade him to surrender in person. After discussing for a long time, he was shocked again. Frightened, they had to open the city gate and surrender.

Luo Cheng occupied Anshi without a single soldier.
