Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Unexpectedly, the Tang army also learned their trick and ambushed them halfway.

Thinking that the number of Tang troops participating in the ambush would not be large, Yang Wanchun quickly calmed down from his panic.

He squinted his eyes and looked forward, only to see the old general Gao Minxing riding his horse and galloping back, with countless of his own soldiers fleeing behind him.

At this time, the soldier who was stopped and questioned spoke softly.

"General, may I leave?"

Yang Wanchun lowered his head and looked at him disdainfully, then a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Let's go."

The soldier saluted in surprise and said, "Thank you, General!"

After saying that, he ran away.

"Pfft~"

The lance in Yang Wanchun's hand instantly pierced his chest from the back.

"Deserter still wants to leave?"

Yang Wanchun sneered, then pulled back the lance, and the soldier's body fell powerlessly on the cold ground.

After dealing with the deserter, Yang Wanchun shouted without even turning his head.

"Raise the flag and line up to meet the enemy!"

"Let the Tang army experience our strength!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the central army flag behind him waved instantly.

After receiving instructions from flag signals, a group of generals commanded their soldiers and began to line up to fight against the Tang army.

"Spearmen are in formation in front, hurry up!"

"The sword and shield soldiers are behind us, protecting our spearmen!"

"Archers, get ready. Start shooting when the Tang army advances 50 steps!"

Countless infantrymen armed with spears rushed to the front, holding their spears high, ready to resist the attack of the Tang cavalry.

At the same time, a large group of soldiers holding shields came behind the spearmen and raised their shields high.

Behind the sword and shield soldiers was a large group of archers with slender arms. They took off the arrows from their backs and put them on their bows.

All this was completed in just thirty minutes.

It has to be said that the Goguryeo defenders in Anshi City were considered elite.

Yang Wanchun then gave the order in a deep voice: "Send the flag signal and let these incompetent deserters retreat to the left and right!"

"As ordered!"

A deputy general behind him saluted respectfully and quickly ran down to give orders to the flag soldiers.

On the Tang army side.

Su Dingfang also led his cavalry to charge to the front. When he saw that the Goguryeo army had already formed a battle formation, he hurriedly looked for a breakthrough point.

Through his observation, he found that the fleeing Goguryeo troops were all retreating to the two sides, so he came up with a plan to defeat the enemy.

He glanced at Xue Rengui and found that he was killing like crazy in the front, while Xi Junmai was leading his troops not far to his left.

So Su Dingfang hurriedly spurred his horse towards Xi Junmai, and when he came beside him, he shouted loudly.

"General Xi, the enemy has already formed their battle array. A head-on charge would probably result in heavy casualties!"

"You lead your men to follow the Goguryeo deserters, and attack from the left wing under their cover!"

"I will lead the rest of the brothers to attack the right wing!"

"We must disrupt their formation so that the infantry behind can charge forward without hindrance!"

Xi Junmai kept waving the lance in his hand. After defeating two enemy soldiers, he hurriedly said.

"it is good!"

Xi Junmai raised his lance high and shouted to the left and right generals behind him.

"Don't worry about the enemy troops in front of you, follow me to attack the enemy's center!"

After saying that, Xi Junmai took the lead in the charge. The elite cavalry of the Tang army who were chasing the enemy everywhere gathered towards him.

Su Dingfang also quickly gathered his subordinates and launched a charge to the other side.

Under their leadership, two groups of cavalry took advantage of the cover of deserters and rushed towards the Goguryeo central army from the left and right.

Xue Rengui led the remaining cavalry and, like a sharp sword, attacked the enemy's center head-on.

Yang Wanchun was frightened when he saw that the Tang cavalry not only charged head-on but also divided their troops to go around their flanks.

He shouted quickly.

"Quickly send someone to guard the left and right wings!"

"Archers shoot!"

The flag of Goguryeo's central army began to wave quickly again.

The old general Gao Minxing, who escaped back to Yang Wanchun, said with reluctance.

"General Yang, we still have soldiers ahead of us. If we order the arrows to be shot, won't that hurt our own people?"

"Hmph!" Yang Wanchun snorted heavily.

The Tang cavalry were about to attack them, so they had no time to care about these deserters.

Although Yang Wanchun reacted quickly on the spot, the two armies were not far apart, and the Tang army was charging at a rapid speed.

As soon as the archers fired a round of arrows, Su Dingfang and Xi Junmai led thousands of cavalrymen under their command and rushed in.

"boom!"

In just one encounter, Goguryeo's unguarded wings were easily torn apart by the Tang army.

Xi Junmai charged at the front, wielding the lance in his hand like a trail of afterimages, continuously reaping the lives of Goguryeo soldiers.

In less than a moment, Xi Junmai and Su Dingfang's troops broke through the enemy's formation.

After the two groups of cavalry met, Su Dingfang shouted: "General Xi, the enemy's commander is not far away, let's kill him!"

"it is good!"

Xi Junmai agreed without hesitation.

The two armies changed direction again and began to attack the direction of the Goguryeo central army commander.

Seeing that the Tang cavalry was actually rushing towards him, Yang Wanchun's brows were tightly knitted together, and he gave orders in a deep voice to the generals behind him.

"Go and destroy these two Tang army commanders!"

"As ordered!"

Behind him, six tall men wearing general's armor immediately rode their horses to meet him.

Three people went to greet Xi Junmai, and three people went to greet Su Dingfang.

Seeing several enemy generals rushing towards him aggressively, Xi Junmai was not afraid at all. He went straight to meet them with his lance in hand.

He tightened the reins, the warhorse raised its head high, and Xi Junmai's figure also rose instantly.

Taking advantage of the momentum of the falling warhorse, the lance in Xi Junmai's hand turned into a flash of lightning and stabbed towards the enemy general rushing on the right.

"Pfft~"

The lance pierced his throat directly.

The enemy general lowered his head in astonishment, took a look at the cold spear blade in front of him, and then fell to the ground weakly.

When the other three Goguryeo enemy generals saw how brave Xi Junmai was, they all showed cowardly expressions on their faces.

Xi Junmai took advantage of the situation and stabbed the remaining two enemy generals to death within thirty rounds.

On the other side, Su Dingfang also killed three enemy generals after a fierce battle.

The surrounding Goguryeo soldiers' morale, which was already low, plummeted further when they saw how brave the Tang general was.

Many people had lost interest in fighting and turned their eyes to the command flag of the central army.

They were waiting for the signal to retreat.

The central army of Goguryeo.

When Yang Wanchun saw that the two Tang generals killed his warriors in just a few rounds, his face became solemn.

"So strong!"

Yang Wanchun finally witnessed the powerful fighting capability of the Tang army and couldn't help but sigh.

Unlike the group of Tang troops they were chasing, the combat effectiveness of this group of Tang cavalry could only be described as terrifying.

At this time, the main force of the Tang army's infantry also rushed over.
