The battle of the breakthrough of the coalition army led by Li Bingchang was relatively smooth, after all, there was still a big gap between the Goryeo army and the Xia army, and in addition to the fact that the coalition army was all cavalry, fighting cavalry with infantry in this vast plain area was almost like looking for death, or it was estimated that the Goryeo army would have collapsed long ago because the Goryeo army was four or five times that of the coalition army.
Li Bingchang led most of the coalition army to successfully break through the siege, but just after advancing more than ten miles, a sentry horse rushed to Li Bingchang and reported: "Your Highness, there are 3,000 brothers of the Boliao Army who did not rush out with the large army, and now they have been tied up in the military formation by the Goryeo army. ” "Brothers, our Xia army has never abandoned our comrades-in-arms and brothers, and those who are not afraid of death will be killed with this king and they will come out."
Li Bingchang turned his horse's head and said to the officers and men of the whole army.
"I am willing to live and die with His Highness."
The soldiers shouted in unison.
"Drive, drive, drive" "Boom" Under the leadership of Li Bingchang, the Xia army that had just broken out of the encirclement was killed again towards the military formation of the Goryeo army, Yiwen Zhide did not expect that the Xia army that had just broken through the siege would dare to kill back, because of the lack of defense, the rear of the Goryeo army was immediately caught off guard by the Xia army, and for a while, the rear army of the Goryeo army suddenly made a mess, because the elite troops of the Goryeo army were besieging the cavalry of the Boliao army, at this time the defense in the rear was composed of sailors and young men who had just been recruited in Xijing City, and even the elite of the Goryeo army was the opponent of the cavalry of the Xia army, Not to mention these rabble.
Under the leadership of Li Bingchang, the cavalry of the Xia army once again tore a hole in the Goryeo army formation, and Yiwen Zhide saw that the Xia cavalry rushed back again, and immediately ordered: "Order the heavy troops to surround the Xia cavalry." ” With the issuance of Yiwenzhide's military order, the Goryeo army began to think about the Xia cavalry to encircle, at this time Li Bingchang had already led the Xia cavalry to meet the Boliao army, Li Bingchang immediately issued a military order: "The whole army immediately breaks through the siege, you come with me" Under Li Bingchang's order, most of the Xia army and the cavalry of the Boliao army began to break through from another direction, and Li Bingchang led hundreds of cavalry to kill directly to Yiwen Zhide's handsome banner, Li Bingchang's action surprised Wang Huan, Wang Huan panicked and issued a military order: "Quickly return to the army to protect the commander." ” The Gaoli infantry who were originally preparing to besiege the Xia army began to slowly retreat in the direction of Shuai Qi after receiving the military order, Li Bingchang saw that his goal had been achieved, and immediately changed the attack route and broke out, Yiwen Zhide reproached Wang Huan and said: "Your Highness, why are you giving orders indiscriminately" "This" Looking at the situation on the battlefield, Wang Huan was speechless for a while, and Wang Huan then said to Yiwen Zhide: "General, or we will pursue the enemy again." ” Yiwenzhide shook his head and said: "It's useless, the enemy army is all cavalry, our army is all infantry, and the field battle is not advantageous at all, if it weren't for our large number of soldiers, it is estimated that we would have been defeated long ago, and ordered the army to stop pursuing and collect the troops back to the city."
This battle was fought from 10 midnight to noon the next day, Li Bingchang fought against more than 40,000 Goryeo troops with 10,000 coalition cavalry, although he lost in the early battle, but in the later stage he led most of the troops and horses to break through, the coalition cavalry lost nearly 3,000 people, including more than 1,000 soldiers guarding the camp, and finally followed Li Bingchang to break through the siege and gather the rout, Li Bingchang only had more than 8,000 people under his command, and the morale of the army was low; Although the Goryeo army was victorious in this battle, it suffered heavy losses, and the Goryeo army lost nearly 10,000 people in this battle, which was three times that of the allied army.
On the other hand, last night, when Li Wu saw that the camp on the south bank was on fire, Li Wu was very anxious, Li Wu wanted to lead the army to kill him immediately, but Li Wu knew that he couldn't, if he led the army to leave the camp on the north bank and it was captured by the Goryeo army, then the retreat of the coalition army would be completely gone, so Li Wu was anxiously waiting all night.
Finally, an hour after the fire burned, Li Wu received a report from the sentry that Xiao Jinghuan had run back from the camp on the south bank by boat, and Li Wu got all the information from Xiao Jinghuan's mouth, Li Wu immediately said to Xiao Jinghuan: "I will give you five hundred cavalry now, and you will immediately take these people north to find Lord Gao for help." ” "Your Highness, why don't you go, this big camp on the north bank is guarded by Zaixia."
Xiao Jinghuan said to Li Wu.
Li Wu immediately said angrily: "What the hell are you talking about, hurry up, if my eldest brother has any accident, Lao Tzu will definitely kill you" Looking at Li Wu's hideous face, Xiao Jinghuan was so frightened that he went north with five hundred cavalry overnight to find Gao Wei for help, after dawn Li Wu sent a large number of sentry horses to the south bank to find Li Bingchang, the hard work paid off, and finally at sunset Li Wu got the news of Li Bingchang, and immediately Li Wu personally led hundreds of soldiers and horses to take several trough ships to urgently transport a batch of supplies to the south bank, and discussed the next action plan with Li Bingchang.
"Brother, it's good that you're okay."
After seeing Li Bingchang, Li Wu said excitedly.
Li Bingchang scolded with a gloomy face: "Damn, I thought that Lao Tzu was prosperous in the Western Regions, but I didn't expect it to be planted in this small Goryeo today." ” "Brother, don't be angry, this Goryeo is different from the Western Regions, and besides, this battle is not all my Xia army, otherwise ten Goryeo will be wiped out for him."
Li Wu persuaded Li Bingchang; "By the way, brother, what the hell happened yesterday?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be that the reinforcements from the northern route of Goryeo have arrived, and the commander of the Goryeo army who fought during the day today is waving the banner of Ebunjideok."
Li Bingchang said to Li Wu.
"How is this possible, how did he come here, how did this high-dimensional do."
Li Wu said with some anger.
"It's not to blame Lord Gao, if my guess is correct, Yiwen Zhide should have come from the sea and land, so Lord Gao has no way to intercept it, fortunately, there are not many reinforcements in Goryeo, otherwise my brother I would have hung up last night."
Li Bingchang explained to Li Wu with a smile; "By the way, why didn't you see Xiao Jinghuan and others?"
Li Wu rolled his eyes and said, "That kid was driven away by me, and asked him to go to Gao Wei for help." ” "Okay, great."
Li Bingchang patted Li Wu's shoulder and said with a smile; "In this way, we will have the opportunity to control the Boliao cavalry, through today's battle, it will be much easier to recover the Boliao cavalry, this time you kid has made a great contribution."
"That's it."
Li Wu said jokingly with a smile; "Don't look at who this king is" "You kid."
Li Bingchang said with a smile; "By the way, what do you think we should do next?"
Li Wu's eyes flashed with a sharp gaze and said, "Come and don't be rude."
"You kid wouldn't want to sneak attack Xijing City, right?"
Li Bingchang looked at Li Wu in surprise and said; "Now they have several times the number of troops we have, and there is no chance of victory in a sneak attack."
Li Wu sneered weirdly: "Of course not, now there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left on both sides of our army, no matter how you fight, it is impossible to break through Xijing City, it seems that now you can only borrow troops."
"Who borrowed soldiers from, you kid's brain is burning, this is the hinterland of Goryeo, how can there be soldiers to borrow" Li Bingchang asked Li Wu puzzled.
