Chapter 143: Grab the flag! Grab the flag

Standing above the North Ridge, the battle situation at the foot of the mountain is clear at a glance.

On the battlefield, the entire Sui army and the Liao army fought together for more than ten miles. This was a melee in which 160,000 people had been invested. Except for Chen Kefu's 20,000 reserve team, all the troops participated.

Wherever his eyes came, there were striking and shouting everywhere. To the west of Jinshan Canyon, the rear of the Goguryeo Army had been completely penetrated by the Sui cavalry. The conspicuous half of the heavy cavalry brigade had been getting closer and closer to the general flag of the Liao people's rear army, and was about to kill him.

The knights of the heavy cavalry brigade had already been red-eyed at this time. Following the brigade commander Guo Xiaoke, who had already been blushing, he was only concerned about charging, charging, and charging again!

The commander of the Goguryeo rear army, Yuan Gaitong, also saw this cavalry. The infantry beside him had already been killed by the Sui cavalry. At this time, the only thing he could count on was the five thousand cavalry that originally guarded the two wings.

In order to ensure the safety of the tribe's clan leader's younger brother, the five thousand Liao cavalrymen tried their best to move from their wings to the bronze flag of Yuangai, and launched a counterattack towards the Sui cavalry that was rushing straight towards.

The heavy cavalry had already fallen into a state of madness, one by one, kicking the horse's belly with his legs, holding precious horse spears, stabbing, slapping, and advancing, and killing gods and demons. For those Liao cavalry who rushed over with no life, not only did they have no idea of ​​retreating, but they rushed wherever there were more people.

The 5,000 cavalry of the Liao people's rear army were all five,000 direct cavalry in Fuyu City, and they were always strong. However, this cavalry was a light cavalry. In order to adapt to the mountain war, their war horses were not the tallest. Even the armor on their bodies was all in order to reduce the burden on the war horses. They were all wearing leather armor, with only a large heart-protecting mirror on their chests.

The collision between two cavalry troops that were equally desperate was cruel. For Guo Xiaoke, they had such cavalry that had already been hard-hitting in the battle with Yizhi. They had a strong confidence in their A cavalry equipment and had no hesitation at all for such a collision.

Under the fierce impact of the heavy cavalry brigade, except for heavy infantry or heavy cavalry, collided with it head-on, which was completely suicide. The Liao people once again received the same bitter taste as the Wende of Yizhi at the time.

The Liao people paid a heavy price for their bravery and ignorance by blocking the torrent of steel of the Sui cavalry with their flesh and blood. One by one, the Liao cavalry were knocked off their war horses in the collision, and even the war horses were overturned to the ground. They were trampled by the torrent of steel of the Sui cavalry until they died. The war horses and knights let out tragic howls before they died.

Guo Xiaoke held a horse spear in his hand and rushed to the front of the team. The horse spear, which was more than meter long, had already changed from black to black and red. Guo Xiaoke's horse spear was slammed and shot horizontally, and none of the Liao cavalry was his opponent. Seeing that the flag of the Liao rear general was getting closer and closer, Guo Xiaoke made a fierce horizontal pat. A Liao knight screamed and his brain was cracked, falling off his horse and died. He also dealt with a Liao man in front of him. Guo Xiaoke yelled, "Snatch the flag! Snatch the flag!"

Seeing his brigade commander so bravely, the soldiers of the Heavy Cavalry Brigade's morale rose sharply, and they rode their horses straight to the banner of the rear army. As if they were injected with chicken blood, the cavalry of the Heavy Cavalry Brigade broke through the last few lines of defense of the Liao people. The Liao people in the distance were all red in their eyes and desperately rushed to the cavalry carrying the horses. But they were fast, Guo Xiaoke and others were faster, and in a blink of an eye, they had already rushed to the side of the cavalry carrying the banner.

Guo Xiaoke, who had been rushing in front, rushed to the knight in a flash, raised his horse spear and stabbed him. The total attack force of the war horse made the stabbed knight fly away. Liu Jie, on the horse spear, did not penetrate too deep. After stabbing the knight to death, Guo Xiaoke easily retracted the horse spear, rode his horse past, leaned over and grabbed the bronze battle flag of the Liao people from the ground. He pulled out a horizontal knife, cut off the flag pole with a swish, stretched out his hand to pull off the flag, tied it to the horse spear, and waved it left and right.

When the heavy cavalry saw the boss grabbing the opponent's flag, they burst out with thunderous roars. The Liao cavalry rushing towards them were all lost in a moment, and they were actually taken away from the flag like this?

Guo Xiaoke, covered in blood, was proud and waved the flag. After waiting for the brothers behind him to rush up, his momentum increased even more. He waved his horse spear and pointed at the Liao general wearing gorgeous armor who was constantly retreating towards the central army in front, "Slay the general! Slay the general!"

The cavalry sprinted, and all the knights' morale rose. Since the battle flag had been taken, what reason would there be no reason not to kill the enemy generals? They slammed the horse's belly, and the war horses were like the wind. Hundreds of cavalry rushed over without hesitation.

The old man Li Benlei behind him brought more than 10,000 cavalry soldiers. He just followed him, but found that Guo Xiaoke had already seized the flag in the formation and was now chasing the enemy generals. He waved his horse spear and led the cavalry to kill again.

Yuan Gai Tong finally managed to move his war horses to move closer to the central army under the escort of hundreds of cavalry. But when he rushed to the front of the central army, he realized that it was also a big melee.

The Central Army with more than 60,000 people was not even a complete formation at this time. The soldiers of the Liao army and the Sui army were intertwined and fought in a group. Most of the Liao army's central army were strong, and there were also many new soldiers among the Sui army. The Liao people were fierce, but the Sui army's new soldiers were successful because of their strong armor and sharp weapons. In addition, they were ambushing, so the momentum of the battlefield was naturally more powerful than that of the Sui army.

Although the Sui army's offensive was a bit inconsistent and rushed up in a mess, the offensive was like a mountain collapse and tsunami, full of momentum. The overwhelming Sui army completely relied on that momentum and left no room for room for suppression, giving Yuan Taizuo no chance to breathe.

Being in the central army, he could see clearly the Sui army's offensive in front of him, and he had disdain for those Sui army infantry that were like going to the market. With this kind of fighting style, even if his central army had 50,000 young and strong tribes and were not regular soldiers, he was also confident of defeating the messy tide of infantry.

What really made him feel helpless and frightened was the tide of the entire frenzy. It was also an infantry unit with less than 10,000 people, but it was stronger than the large group of people behind it.

Yishui's black full-body armor, everyone's hand was not a spear or a horizontal sword, but a double-edged sword that was more than half long. What was even more surprising was that the army's flag was only half, and the black half of the battle flag was so weird that it reminded him of the previous and next army reports that there was such a unit among the Sui cavalry, which made him even more afraid.

These big infantry soldiers above six feet tall were all moving hills. The armor that the swords and soldiers cut on them would splash sparks, and they could not be easily killed or seriously injured.

And if these strange big swords of the Sui people were cut into two pieces with one sword, the Goguryeo infantry wearing leather armor were basically cut into two pieces with one sword. Even if the knights could fight against them, they would often be killed by them for a few rounds, and they would be cut into two pieces with their men and horses. When did the young and strong tribes of the central army have ever seen such soldiers and horses that cannot be killed, but extremely fierce, all of them have their morale plummeted and they have retreated.

The people in the heavy infantry brigade became more and more brave as they fought. The other light infantry behind regarded them as moving steel shields. They all followed the heavy infantry in groups with spears and swords, and the enemy rushed forward. If the Liao people were fierce, they would turn around and retreat behind the heavy infantry, and there would be the hard point of the heavy infantry who was moving hills to clean up the ligation hands.

The formation of the Liao people's central army was shaking. The civil and strong men of the central army allowed the elite infantry cavalry of Fucheng and other cities to fight to the death, but they all kept retreating pale. Some young tribal people even left their heavy swords and turned around and ran away.

Yuan Taizuo's personal soldiers temporarily served as wartime law enforcement teams, holding a large sword to execute a large number of retreating tribes and civilians who retreated in the face. Although they killed one after another, they could not control the civilians who turned around from time to time. Zheng Yuanda raised his sword and executed another deserter with his own hands. However, looking at the retreating front, he felt a burst of worry in his heart. The front was no longer stable. If this continues, the entire front would collapse soon. At that time, even if the execution is severe, the civilians and military soldiers will not be deterred.

The situation that the captain of Yuan Taizuo's personal guard saw was naturally seen at a glance by Chen Kefu, who was standing in Beiling to observe the formation. At this time of the battle, it had been nearly three hours. It can be said that blood flowed into a river, and both sides suffered great losses.

Chen Kefu still holds 20,000 infantry and cavalry in his hand. It can be said that this is a very critical force. When he kept these men and horses, he was worried that the three Sui army would not be able to hold back and the new soldiers would disperse, which would cause a chain reaction to make the entire army mess up. With a reserve team of more than 20,000 people in his hands, even if there was really no situation at that time, he could immediately transfer the reserve team to the top.

But now it seems that the first thing that cannot stand was the Liao people. The rear army east of the Liao people had been completely defeated, and even the battle flag was taken away. The commanding generals had also fled to the central army and lost command with the rear army. It can be said that the rear army had nothing to do.
