General Ashina waited for them to destroy the checkpoint all the way, and drove their defenders all the way to the position of thirty miles before doing anything. killed."
Another small team was sent to guard the intersection, "their scouts are absolutely not allowed to go back before us."
"yes."
Only then did General Ashina attack with the people who were huddled in the forest, and directly stopped the two thousand people inside.
Following the army from afar, the Goguryeo scouts, who wanted to see their battle situation, widened their eyes in surprise, got off the horse abruptly, pressed the horse to the ground, and waited for Ashina and his team to pass, and directly bit their army Buttocks, the two scouts gritted their teeth, immediately got on their horses and spun around to go back and tell the second prince, but they were stopped when they came out.
Their faces changed, and they turned their heads to look behind, only to realize that a few riders came out behind them at some point, blocking their retreat...
General Ashina and his party were so suffocated that they nested in the woods for four days.
To be honest, it was really uncomfortable, I didn’t eat well, I didn’t have enough water, I could only eat small bites, I couldn’t make a fire, it was cold at night, I could only squeeze three people into one quilt, even when I was sick I can only take the pills given by the doctor's account, or take it with cold water...
After two more days of nesting, they will not be able to nest anymore, and the prepared water will run out...
So now they are like mad dogs that have been imprisoned for half a year. They howled excitedly as soon as they rushed out, directly inserted into the enemy army, and rushed in from behind them...
Behind them were the infantry, who had no time to turn around to defend, and when the cavalry at the front wanted to come to support, they were stopped by more than a thousand infantry, and the rescue failed, and the team was instantly defeated.
They just handed it over.
Goguryeo's leading young general was so heartbroken that he yelled for the infantry to retreat to both sides and into the forest.
The cavalry also left in the open area, and it was not certain who would win if they entered the forest.
But at the moment everyone is panicking, and there are shouts of killing and shouts everywhere, who has the energy to listen to him
The defeated army was like a mountain, even if they had 500 cavalry, when the two sides fought, their momentum was far behind the opponent's. In addition, Hu Bing died bravely, and General Ashina controlled the situation before sunset.
He surrounded them with people and tried his best to control them. In the end, only a dozen or so sporadically ran away, and the rest either died in battle or knelt down and surrendered at this time.
"General, do you want to chase after those who run away?"
General Ashina shook his head, "We don't have so many troops to chase after. Let people guard the intersection and not allow them to go in the direction of Anshi City, at least not until we reach Anshi City."
"yes."
The general flag left with a team of people.
General Ashina waved his hand and asked the defeated soldiers to take off all their armor, and if some had no armor, they would take off their clothes.
Xue Gui led a group of soldiers and horses galloping from Liaodong City. General Ashina waved his hand when he saw him, "These are the defeated army, you escort them back."
Xue Gui was stunned for a moment and then said: "General, please let the last general attack the city together, and the last general should be in the forward position."
General Ashina slightly frowned and said: "These people can't be left alone, if they run back to Anshi City before the army arrives, our previous efforts will be wasted."
"General, their horses have all been confiscated, and their speed is not as fast as ours, and we can draw the ground as a prison. In the end, they will be scared out of their wits, even if they don't keep anyone, I'm afraid no one will dare to escape."
Ashina pondered.
Xue Gui knelt down and said: "The last general is willing to be the vanguard, please do so."
General Ashina nodded, "Okay."
He looked at the time and said to him: "It's still early, you go and weave them into flags and let them supervise each other."
"yes."
General Ashina killed all their officers with hundreds of households and above. The Goguryeo soldiers turned pale with fright and bowed their heads deeply.
Xue Gui stepped forward and said: "These people don't accept the discipline of the state, and death is not a pity. You are different from them. Your Majesty Long En, the general is also kind, and allows you to go to Liaodong City to surrender, as a token of trust in you , we will not send troops to escort you, let you go there by yourself."
He said: "Now, you divide the flags again, ten people form a small flag, and ten small flags form a general flag, and supervise each other. You can rest here tonight, and you can leave for Liaodong City after dawn. Whoever is halfway If you escape, the small flags will sit together, and the general flag will sit together, and the one who raises it will be meritorious."
Xue Gui emphasized again and again: "Remember, no one is allowed to leave tonight, otherwise they will all be treated as deserters, and they can only leave after dawn tomorrow. Remember?"
Everyone agreed in fear, and then began to divide the small banner and the general banner. Xue Gui led the people to designate the candidates for the small banner and the general banner, and even took a pen to write down the names of the people.
General Ashina only looked at it for a while, then turned around and ignored it, and asked his men to station a little farther away from here.
As the sky gradually darkened, everyone began to change into the clothes of the Goguryeo army under the cover of the night and trees.
General Ashina ordered: "Have someone tie up the cloth strips, put them in the sleeves first, and then reveal them when you start to do it, but don't show your whereabouts first."
"Yes." The deputy general glanced over there and whispered, "General, do you really want them to come with us?"
General Ashina nodded slightly, and said: "This Xue Gui is very brave, if he is willing to be a striker, then use him."
General Ashina only brought one thousand men, while Xue Gui brought two thousand cavalry, he was the forward that the emperor sent immediately after receiving the news, and the main army fell behind.
Their speed was slower, not only because of their larger number, but also because of the infantry. He didn't know how the emperor would arrange it, but it must have taken a long time to get here.
Liaodong City is a long way from Anshi City, and he rushed to arrive before dark after receiving the news.
The army, even if they set off immediately, they probably won't arrive until dawn.
General Ashina was also calculating the time. Based on his knowledge of the emperor, they should arrive in the middle of the night.
But they definitely won't be able to wait until midnight, the second prince in high school only let them advance forty miles, even if they encounter an enemy attack on the road, they should go back in the middle of the night, otherwise, they will definitely be suspicious.
General Ashina's heart was beating a little fast, and he was a little excited and excited, so if they could knock on the city gate, they would have to persist for at least two hours before the reinforcements could arrive.
Ashina glanced at Xue Gui, which is why he agreed with Xue Gui to be the striker, and did not leave anyone to guard the prisoners, and directly drew the ground as a prison.
Ashina thought well. After receiving the report from the scouts, the emperor immediately sent Xue Gui and 2,000 cavalry to help, and then immediately called everyone to discuss.
In the end, Qibi Heli was asked to lead the 20,000 people first, and they took the luggage and the rest of the people behind.
Qi Bi He Li asked the medical account to allocate a part to accompany him, and the emperor directly asked Zhou Man to follow.
