4. On the day of escape

The combat effectiveness of the Xifan army is by no means sufficient.

In the night wind in Gootouyuan, Shang Jiezan concentrated all the cavalry in one corner, heavy armored cavalry stood in a formation, light cavalry ambushed, and constantly launched attacks when Baicao Army was tired or unprepared. Ming Huaiyi's cavalry was repelled assault, and then Xu Si's mule army was expelled back. Gao Gu led the front, left and right sides of the Baicao Army, and launched several group attacks, but was also repelled.

From the hour of You to the hour of Hai, the Chinese army led by Shang Jiezan was still fighting fiercely and showed no sign of retreat.

At Sunqiu Valley, Tang general Zhang Jingze also chewed on the "hard bones": Shang Jiezan's front-line army, who received reinforcements from the two villages, still rushed to the front even though more than half of the casualties were killed and tried to support the host's great thesis.

Qingshiling, Lianyunbao, Jiansheng Pass, and Huating, a radius of more than a hundred miles, are filled with beacons and the sound of killings shook the sky, lit up half of the night sky in Jingzhou.

Seeing that he could not swallow the enemy, Gao Gu had no choice but to order to retreat to the high slope and temporarily let the soldiers who had fought for two hours of bloody battle rest.

This fashionable Jiezan actually pulled out his hand and sent a cavalryman of the tiger and leopard skin, who suddenly blocked Gao Yue's central army from the south and pressed him to the center of Goutouyuan!

Seeing that the Tang army had a long flag given by the emperor, the Western-Ban Tiger and Leopard Cavalry knew that it was the commander of the Tang army, and fired arrows on the horse's back as rain. Cai Fengyuan of the Baicao Army was ordered to hold all the soldiers with a side sign and a group of cards into a huge circular formation, and to protect the observation and defense commander Gao Yue and Xingyuan Supervisor Ximen Can in the central core, desperately resisting the arcs and sagittals shot from all sides.

"Don't panic, you guys, the enemy is at the end of the strong. Our Tang army is the dominant one. Hold the cards firmly, hold the five soldiers tightly, and don't let the little bandits go back!" Gao Yue under the long flag kept inspiring morale.

On the side, Su Yan, the follower of the branch, looked at the Xifan cavalry that were constantly rushing and seeing that they were covered with fish-scale armor, with people and horses in one, like monsters, shining under the fire and night, and with the arrows shot like a sudden rain, they were both excited and scared, and even fighting their teeth.

"Ah!" The military supervisor Ximen Can was suddenly scratched his wrist by a runaway arrow, causing him to scream in a low voice and leaning on the saddle.

When Gao Yue saw that blood was constantly flowing out of his sleeve.

"Cai Fengyuan, Cai Fengyuan!"

"It doesn't matter, don't make any noise, so as not to affect morale." After Ximen Can said, he held his arm and continued to ride on the horse and insisted on it.

"Xiaofeng, come and rescue me!" Gao Yue opened his eyes angrily and looked back, his shouts were aroused.

Now, on the entire Goutouyuan battlefield, Gao Yue's mobile reserve military force was left with only two thousand Baicao Hou troops led by Guo Zaizhen.

After a while, the scout cavalry who had gone to report the news returned from the dark night, grabbed the reins and said to Gao Yue: "The whole army of Guo Yuhou is two miles away, digging stoves and burying pots to eat, and feeding war horses."

"When is it that I still have the intention to eat and feed the horse?" Gao Yue was furious, "Continue to urge me, otherwise I will deprive him of his military post after the war."

But the scout touched the ear-pressing cap on his head and reported truthfully: "Mr. Guo Yu said that the emperor could not force the entire army to eat. If Lian Envoy was unwilling to wait, he could fight first."

"I...he...not..." Gao Yue was frustrated by it.

So Gao Lian sent a letter to wait for Guo Yuhou for half an hour.

During this period, the tiger and leopard skin cavalry of Xifan saw that Gao Yue's central army was in a strict formation, so they did not dare to attack. After shooting out all the arrows in their respective arrow bags, they slowly retreated.

After Guo Zaizhen led the soldiers of the army to eat, he shook his troops and lined up. He first met Shang Jiezan's army of soldiers who were rushing down from Qingshiling.

This group of soldiers was about a thousand men. Liu Haibin, who was attacked on the ridge, and Xing Junya's army killed only more than 300 men. They smeared and escaped. They finally arrived at Goutouyuan and happened to be caught by Guo Zaizhen, who had just finished the meal. Among the exhausted three hundred men, more than 100 "Gui" soon became a member of the members. The rest of the "Yong" were unwilling to fight for Zanpu or Da Ren until their death, so they all knelt down and surrendered.

"Dear men, come and take the horse rope I carried." Guo Zaizhen ordered boldly, and then tied the captured mediocre soldiers one by one with horse rope, pulled them into a string, and went to reinforce Gao Lian.

Just from Qingshiling, Jingyuan Army generals Liu Guoguang, Ma Di, Shi Fu and others led more than 800 light cavalry, chasing them with torches all the way and met Guo Zaizhen.

"What's the battle between Gou Touyuan?" asked Liu Guoguang, the son of Liu Haibin.

"Fanzi has collapsed. If you don't move forward bravely, you will not get a share of the pie." Guo Zaizhen replied in this way.

Hearing this, there was no need to say that the generals of the Jingyuan camp who had made great contributions and rode their horses to the forefront. Guo Zaizhen's Baicao Army followed closely behind, accumulating enough momentum and slashed into Shang Jiezan's position.

At this time, the three thousand Shence troops of Lianyun Castle also rushed to the battlefield from Anqiu.

Gao Yue's central military camp also launched an attack.

At the same time, the front, left and right armies commanded by Gao Gu also rushed down the hillside and joined the battle group.

At the west end, the cavalry and mule army of the Baicao Army were also pressed forward.

After all, the Baicao Army and friendly troops have an absolute numerical advantage.

Shang Jiezan's middle-class soldiers were squeezed into pieces: most of the mediocre people fled in various paths; the Guizhou people who had lost their support also retreated one after another.

But Sun Qiugu and the others couldn't get there, because the road leading there was cut off by the Baicao Army cavalry, so they could only find various paths temporarily, break them into pieces, and run towards Yinpan City.

Under the escort of the loyal guard Samma and a group of tiger and leopard skin cage officials, Shang Jiezan was in a panic. The fire behind him was shaking endlessly, and the fire arrows were even more shining, and they kept flying over his head, illuminating the rugged paths and tree trunks on all sides. Some people kept shouting in Chinese: "The person wearing the purple and white official uniform is Xiaofan's great speech Shang Jiezan!"

Shang Jiezan was so scared that he untied the clothes covered with his armor and threw them on the side of the road.

"Those who hold the frog flag are the great discussions and praises!"

Even if Shang Jiezan cherishes his military flag, he has to leave it alone.

"The one with an umbrella cover and a five-colored tooth flag is Shang Jiezan..."

Shang Jiezan could only continue to "lightly" escape.

"The one with tiger, leopard skin cavalry beside you is Shang Jiezan!"

Shang Jiezan looked at the leopard skin and tiger skin cavalry beside him, but he could not ask them to take off the tiger and leopard skin because this was the honor of the warriors. It would be better to ask them to die directly if they asked them to die if they were to let these Arc Sect warriors throw down their symbols of honor.

Running wildly, Shang Jiezan and his party rushed down the hillside first, then ran to the formation, feeling that the terrain was getting higher and higher, and the Tang cavalry, who were chasing him, shook Song Ming, as if they were galloping above their heads.

"It's over, we're rushing into the gully!" Shang Jiezan was so angry that he couldn't run out, his own corpse would have to fill the gully.

"Master, abandon the horses, let's climb up." The guard warrior Soma was clearer at this time. Then the group of people threw down their mounts. Shang Jiezan simply threw the armor, seals, and luggage into the ditch, and then used his hands and feet, and grabbed the thorny wood along the steep slope, making the palms and face covered with bloodstains. Only then did he turn out Gou Touyuan, then smeared and walked towards the Yin Pan...
