Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Goguryeo rear army.

Hou Junji led his 2 infantry and cavalry to launch a fierce attack on Goguryeo's rear army infantry.

Xi Junmai, Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang were like three sharp awls. Under their leadership, the exhausted Goguryeo infantry fell down in large numbers.

The general of Goguryeo's rear army was killed by Xue Rengui, and without the general's command, the army instantly fell into chaos.

No matter how loudly a group of generals shouted, the troops were still unable to organize an effective resistance.

"Everyone, charge to the center!"

"As long as we run to the central army, we will be safe!"

In order to avoid being hunted down by the Tang army, the Goguryeo rear army desperately rushed forward.

But how could their tired legs possibly outrun the well-rested Tang army horses?

Under the crush of the Tang army's elite cavalry, they were killed by spears before they could take a few steps.

Some of the fish that escaped the net were also annihilated by the infantry that followed closely behind.

Goguryeo's vanguard.

Their situation was the same as that of the rear army, and they also faced the attack of tens of thousands of troops.

Before that, they were shot by several rounds of arrows from the Tang army.

"The cavalry cuts the enemy apart, leaving it to the infantry to annihilate."

"The sword and shield soldiers escort the archers forward a thousand steps. The archers will first shoot five rounds at the enemy's center, and then the cavalry will charge."

“Li Dao Zong, you lead your 4000 elite cavalry to break through the opposing central army and disrupt their military formation.”

"Zhang Shigui, lead all the infantry and charge directly towards the center of the army. Don't worry about those who are running to the sides!"

Li Ji and Li Daozon led tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry, like a group of tigers descending from the mountains, and charged at the Goguryeo infantry and cavalry who were running weakly.

Moreover, during the raid, Li Ji kept issuing combat orders to his generals based on the actual battle situation.

Faced with the well-trained and powerful Tang army, the enemy was defeated.

"Everyone, retreat quickly. The Tang army in front is too fierce!"

"What a ridiculous formation! Get out of the way and let us pass!"

The soldiers in the front army were frightened by the killing, and they turned around and ran to the back in a swarm.

Seeing a general leading his soldiers in formation in front of them, the fleeing people started cursing.

There weren't many team formations to begin with, and because everyone was just trying to escape, it was now even more of a mess.

There was even a serious stampede.

Countless people fell while running, and were trampled by horses and their colleagues, never to get up again.

As the Goguryeo army huddled together.

Suddenly, countless huge rocks flew out from behind the hills on both sides of the valley.

"call out!"

"boom!"

These stones don't even need to be aimed. Just throwing them at a dense crowd can kill a few people.

"Ah! It hurts me to death!"

The person whose hands and feet were crushed by the huge rock rolled on the ground in pain.

The bearded general from Liaodong City said to several other colleagues from Liaodong City.

"The Tang army has blocked the front and back of the valley. The only option now is to retreat to the hills on both sides."

"Later, we will go to the left and right to destroy the Tang army's catapults first, and then run up the mountain!"

His suggestion was unanimously agreed upon by his colleagues.

So under their organization and leadership, their soldiers ran to both sides of the valley.

Because they had already chased the Tang army for more than 10 miles, these soldiers in armor and armed with spears were too tired to lift their feet.

The reason they can still move now is because of the desire to survive in their hearts.

Seeing that their soldiers had no strength left, the generals of Liaodong City quickly spoke out to encourage them.

"The hill is not high. Let's rush up the hill and destroy the Tang army. Then we will have a safe way to escape!"

"Once we get over this mountain, we'll be safe!"

"Everyone will die if we stay here!"

Under their encouragement, the soldiers constantly activated their potential and rushed forward with heavy steps.

At this moment, a large group of archers suddenly came out from the top of the hill. They shot arrows from a high position, and the power was three times stronger than that on the flat ground.

"Ah~"

Countless Goguryeo soldiers fell under the rain of arrows.

There was even a general from Liaodong City who was shot through the body by two arrows.

Facing this kind of close-range shooting, there is no chance of survival unless you are covered in thick heavy armor.

"Don't be afraid, the Tang army needs time to replace their arrows. Follow me and charge forward!"

The surviving generals of Liaodong City commanded their soldiers to charge forward.

There is still a glimmer of hope if you rush forward, but there is definitely no way to survive if you retreat.

After the Tang army fired the second round of arrows, the remaining Goguryeo troops were finally about to rush up the hill.

At this moment, the Tang army archers retreated quickly, and a large group of heavily armored infantry holding spears rushed down directly.

"puff!"

The several Liaodong city generals who were rushing in the front were caught off guard and were stabbed directly in the chest by spears.

"It's over~"

These were the last two words that popped into the minds of these generals before they died.

The remaining soldiers were slaughtered in less than half a quarter of an hour by the charge of these heavy armored infantry.

The catapults behind them continued to throw out huge rocks.

On the steep hilltop on the left.

Li Chengqian and Du He, protected by 300 Black Armored Soldiers, quietly watched the battle below.

"Du He, how come General Li Ji's calculations are so accurate?"

"This group of Goguryeo pursuers actually chased Zhang Jian's troops for more than 10 miles!"

"They didn't realize we were faking defeat, and foolishly entered our encirclement!"

Hearing Li Chengqian's gloating words, Du He shook his head and said softly.

"General Li Ji can be called a military god because he is not only adept at using military tactics, but also has a very accurate grasp of human nature!"

"Of course, not all the enemy generals are fools. At least the ones who broke through from both sides have clear minds."

One incompetent general can bring trouble to the entire army. The Goguryeo general who led this large army was probably a complete loser.

Du He continued, "General Li Ji has also made adequate preparations for the location of the ambush on the enemy, and will make timely adjustments as the enemy forces change."

In addition to this most ideal ambush location, Li Ji also prepared 12 ambush sites.

If the Goguryeo troops gave up chasing halfway, the Tang army would also attack and kill them.

It’s just that the effect of the battle is not as good as the valley in front of us.

The fierce battle lasted for more than an hour, and the number of Goguryeo soldiers who could still stand and resist was less than 20% of the original.

Moreover, the remaining Goguryeo remnants were cut into dozens of pieces by the Tang army and surrounded and killed, without even a chance to break out and escape.

Inside the Goguryeo central army.

Thanks to the desperate protection of his generals and personal guards, Lisa Cui Hexian had not been defeated by the Tang army.

But the Tang cavalry had already rushed to within several hundred steps, and their advance speed was very fast, and it would not take long for them to reach him.

Apart from this, all we could see was the Tang army pouring in.

A general with a big nose said quickly: "Cui Lisa, the situation is hopeless now, why don't we surrender!"
