Chapter 143 Crossing the River

At this time, those who remained on the south bank and could not cross the river were the remnants of the Zuo Tunwei, most of the Zuo Wuwei, and a part of the Right Xiaowei with about [-] troops. Xin Shixiong died in battle, Wang Rengong ran away by himself, and lost the command of the general The Sui soldiers and horses were in a mess.The soldiers scrambled to cross the river, but the Koreans rushed up from behind and fell down layer by layer, biting like a pack of wolves.

The well-trained soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, no matter how good they were at fighting, hunger had already made them lose their strength to fight and their fighting spirit to keep moving forward.Occasionally, low-ranking officers led a small group of troops to launch a counterattack against the Goryeos, but they soon sank like stones in the torrent of Goguryeos.The mid-level and low-level generals were constantly trying to organize the soldiers to form a defensive formation, but the Sui soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit and courage just squeezed into the river desperately, ignoring their roars at all.

The brigade's crudely equipped Goguryeo wolves rushed up like a pack of wolves, biting the Sui army's rear.With every bite, a large piece of flesh and blood can be torn off.

The warriors of those small tribes in Goguryeo did not dare to fight the Great Sui Expeditionary Army at all.But at this time, knowing that the Sui army was exhausted, they were all lured out of their wildness by the sophisticated equipment of the Sui army soldiers.The crude knives, spears, and even wooden sticks in his hands kept waving out, and every stroke could stir up a wave of blood.

The well-organized Sui army formed a small square formation under the command of low-level generals and retreated while fighting, but because a large number of soldiers were silted up in the river, it was impossible to get through the back road.Facing the wolf pack tactics of the Goguryeo people, they had little room to resist.General Xin Shixiong of Zuo Tunwei was shot to death by the cold arrows of the Goguryeo people when he tried to prevent the soldiers from fleeing angrily because the soldiers lost their desire to fight.Perhaps, this general who once wanted to lead Zuo Tunwei to show his strength, had infinite sadness in his heart before he died.

If, if it hadn't been for Wang Rengong's deliberate delay of time, when Zuo Tunwei initially struggled to resist the attack of the Goguryeo people, Zuo Wuwei responded from the flanks, the scene at this time would not have been so chaotic.But Wang Rengong wanted to preserve his Zuo Wuwei's strength, but he didn't expect to lose control when the soldiers were defeated.When he pretended to bring Zuo Wuwei to support him, Zuo Tunwei had been squeezed by the Goguryeo people in a narrow area on the south side of the river. Seeing that he could no longer deploy his troops, Wang Rengong immediately ordered Zuo Wuwei to withdraw. Unexpectedly, with this withdrawal, Zuo Wuwei immediately fell into chaos.The Goguryeo people took the opportunity to rush up from behind, Wang Rengong got an arrow in the shoulder, and escaped Sashui in embarrassment under the protection of hundreds of soldiers.

As for the right Xiaowei who was supposed to cross the river, half of the troops had already crossed the river, but the other half were attacked by Zuo Wuwei's rebellious soldiers and disrupted the order.

Ulji Wendeok was carried up a high slope by several soldiers, and the handsome flag symbolizing his identity was erected behind him.Seeing the soldiers of the Sui government on the south side of the river being chopped down one after another, Ulji Wende laughed happily.He finally waited for this day, the Sui people paid the price for their own arrogance and hypocrisy.Although because of this war, he lost his most admired younger brother Eulji Moonrye, and also lost a leg, and now the wound on his body is still oozing blood, but at this moment, he was extremely happy.

Those small tribal warriors who would not dare to provoke the Great Sui Expeditionary Army on weekdays, as well as the savages and Khitan warriors hired by Ulchi Wende with a lot of money, rushed forward one by one like crazy.In their eyes, the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were full of treasures.Sui soldiers' standard leather armor, horizontal knives, shields, crossbows, bows and arrows, these are all the targets they robbed. Of course, what they had to do before robbing them all was to kill the Sui soldiers.

The Goguryeo people are like waves, slapping fiercely on the fragile embankment formed by the Sui Expeditionary Army.With the impact again and again, the embankment is already crumbling.

The scene at this time is hard to believe. No one would have thought that the victorious soldiers of the Sui Dynasty would die at such an astonishing speed in the battle with the Goguryeo people whose combat power was completely inferior to theirs.

In fact, from the moment the soldiers of the Great Sui Expeditionary Army secretly buried grain in the soil, they should have realized the disastrous defeat today.A group of soldiers who barely have the strength to lift a horizontal knife, no matter how weak their enemy is, they will not be able to win the battle again.This is the bitter fruit planted by the soldiers and the generals of the Sui Dynasty themselves, so in the end it is up to them to taste the tragic taste.

The outermost Sui soldiers were bitten down layer by layer by the crazy Goguryeo people, and the corpses covered the land on the south bank of Sashui.Like a stream of blood, it flowed into the Sa water, dyeing the entire surface of the water red.

A Sui brigade leader stabbed the Goguryeo man who was rushing over with one knife, and wiped an enemy's neck with one knife.Although his martial arts are superb, his lack of physical strength makes his sword slower than before by more than half.Even so, he has killed five Goguryeo people with his own ability.After wiping the blood that dazzled his eyes, he saw the fallen Zuo Tunwei battle flag not far away.

Turning around and taking a look, there were less than ten soldiers following him.

The brigade leader smiled wryly after wiping off the blood, and then turned his head and said to the soldiers: "Hurry up and cross the river as soon as possible, remember, run as fast as you can, and it is best to follow behind those generals , otherwise no one can run away. Only the soldiers of the generals can eat enough food every day, and only their horses have fodder to eat. Only by keeping up with them can you survive."

A Sui soldier took his arm and said, "Brigade Commander, let's go together!"

The leader of the Great Sui Brigade shook his head with a wry smile, pointed to the Zuo Tunwei battle flag lying on the ground in the distance and was being trampled on by the Goguryeo people, and said: "You go, I'm going to set up our Zuo Tunwei flag. I belong to the Sui Dynasty, and death is the ghost of the Sui Dynasty. When I crossed the Liao River, I had no intention of going back alive."

He glanced at the soldier and pushed him away: "Besides, what do you want me to say? Everyone in Zuo Tunwei died in battle, and I escaped back alive?"

He smiled sadly, pointed to the flag and said: "If you die, you will die. I will go and erect the flag, and let the flag stand for a while longer. Killing one is enough money, killing two, I earn one."

After speaking, he strode towards Zuo Tunwei Zhanqi.

The soldiers behind him glanced at each other, and then shouted at the same time: "Zuo Tunwei!"

The brigade shook his body violently, tears streaming down his cheeks.With a hoarse voice, he raised the horizontal knife in his hand and pointed forward: "Forward!"

Less than ten people, under the leadership of the brigade, launched an attack on the dense Goguryeo people.The enemy kept falling in front of them, and their numbers were decreasing one by one.Dense jungle-like spears came from all directions, endlessly.

When the Great Sui Brigade led the charge and picked up Zuo Tunwei's battle flag from the ground, and then raised it with difficulty.There was no Sui soldier around him, and in the short distance of more than ten meters, people fell down almost every step.There were at least seven or eight injuries on his body. The most serious one was that a spear pierced through his chest. He hacked the enemy to death with a knife, cut off the spear with one knife, and rushed to the battle flag with half of the spear where.When he stood up holding the flag, his whole body had turned red, just like the battle flag of the Sui Dynasty, it was so red that it was hard to look at it.

The flag stood up and fluttered in the wind.

The person under the flag has died, like a rock sculpture, standing up to support the flag.

Countless Goguryeo people surrounded them, and they moved forward cautiously. At this moment, for some unknown reason, no one dared to charge up and cut down that person again, and overturned that flag again.The leader of a small Goguryeo tribe squeezed up from behind, separated the other Goguryeo soldiers and stood at the front, watching the Sui brigade leader mutter a few curses, and suddenly his voice became louder and roared: "A bunch of trash! Even a dead man is afraid ?!"

He weighed his ring-headed broadsword, and strode over in the sight of other Goguryeo people.Raising the ring-shou sword high, he planned to chop off the Sui man and the flag together.

The knife was raised, but failed to cut.

Not knowing whether it was because of nervousness or fear, the leader of the small Goguryeo clan suddenly saw the Sui man who was clearly dead in front of him suddenly open his eyes again!What's more, he even opened his mouth and smiled to himself, there were streaks of blood on Bai Sensen's teeth.

The leader of the small tribe screamed in fright, staggered and almost fell.He was so frightened that he knelt down and held his head, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see any movement from the Sui man.Tremblingly, he raised his head to see if the man made any movements, he was clearly dead long ago.

He laughed at himself, thinking how could he be wrong?

Just as he stood up, he planned to slash the Sui man's head to save the face he had just lost, when he suddenly felt a bump on the back of his neck, followed by a cold in his throat.He looked down subconsciously, and saw an armor-piercing cone suddenly appearing on his throat, sticking out a long section.

In the next second, his mind suddenly went blank, and then he lost consciousness.

……

……

"Give me 1 people! I'll bring back all the brothers from the south bank!"

Li Xian stopped Yu Wenshu and shouted loudly.

"Bold!"

Several soldiers of Yu Wenshu stopped in front of Li Xian, and a general reprimanded loudly: "Who are you? How dare you stop in front of the Marshal's horse?"

"Great Sui Zuo Tunwei don't general Yan Yun!"

Li Xian said loudly.

Yu Wenshu's face was very pale, so pale that it was scary.At this moment, even though he was still wearing the mighty armor of the great general, he felt so old and haggard.The white hair on his temples hung down from the gap of the helmet, fluttering desolately in the wind.

"Yan Yun?"

Yu Wenshu seemed to have aged 20 years suddenly, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper.
