    After struggling all night, the frightened Sui army reluctantly landed on the north bank of the Sa River. It was not known how many casualties there were.  At this time, suddenly the whole Sa River was filled with shouts of killing, and the Goguryeo people seemed to be coming from the sky, surrounding the Sui army.

    No one knows how many Goguryeo people there were.

    If left alone, the Sui army would still be able to organize resistance no matter how heavy the casualties were.  But now that the flood has passed, everything is devastated. Everyone is already in a state of panic, and the grass and trees are all in danger. Where is there any remaining strength and energy?

    Yu Zhongwen crossed the Sa River first, while Yu Wenshu was in Henan.

    There were tens of thousands of troops crossing the river at this time, but their flags were all disheveled and their organization was chaotic. It was impossible to tell which troops each belonged to.  Yu Zhongwen intended to reorganize the army first, and wait until the army's combat effectiveness was restored and the main force in Henan had crossed the river before uniting and marching northward, but Liu Shilong disagreed.

    Liu Shilong believed that the army was defeated and the Goguryeo people attacked from all sides. The only way to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible and save part of the main force was to delay. If they delayed at Sa River, after the Goguryeo people's encirclement was closed, they would probably be completely annihilated by the opponent.

    Liu Shilong¡¯s understanding was not wrong, but he overestimated the fighting power of the Goguryeo people.  If the Goguryeo people could really eat this Sui army, they would not be able to reach the north bank of Sa River.

    Yu Zhongwen hesitated, and Liu Shilong said: "General Manager Yu, your defeat is a serious crime. If the whole army is wiped out again, how will the emperor's face be? Can your Yu family withstand the emperor's thunderous wrath?"

    Yu Zhongwen was in a daze for a moment, and without saying any more words, he directly ordered the entire army to move north immediately.  However, Yu Zhongwen finally did not directly trap Yuwenshu to death. Instead, he left the Zengdi Army to defend the Sa River and support Yu Wenshu, leaving a chance for the Sui army on the south bank of the Sa River.

    As for the armies crossing the river, most of them were already discouraged. Even if some objected to the order to go north immediately, their arms could not hold their thighs up, so the remaining soldiers went north in embarrassment.

    Zhou Zhongwen, who was guarding the front line of Sa River, immediately exploded when he heard that Yu Zhongwen led his army to escape.

    At this time, the best strategy is to concentrate your efforts and break through.  If he just informed them like this and then ran away, wouldn't he regard the Zengdi Army and the Sui Army on the south bank as abandoned sons? This is what the commander of the first army should do.

    Zhou Zhongan was born as a general and had a bad temper. He immediately rushed to Cai Zhiyun's army. Before they entered the tent, he shouted loudly: "General, Yu Zhongwen, a courageous dog, ran away. We have to chase them back."

    Cai Zhiyun already knew the news. Hearing Zhou Zhongan's loud voice, he said, "What's the point of chasing? What's the use of catching up?"

    Zhou Zhongan was stunned and said hurriedly: "Let them come back."

    Cai Zhiyun said: "If Yu Zhongwen can come back, he will not leave. Since he has left, he will not come back. If we catch up now, if we are well, we will return in vain. If we are anxious, we will  Roommates are at war."

    Zhou Zhongan was anxious and said quickly: "Then just watch him treat us as abandoned children?"

    "As long as we don't regard ourselves as abandoned children, that's all."

    This situation was what Cai Zhiyun expected.  Although the Sui army was at the end of its rope, the Zuowu Guards had soldiers and food, and even if the Goguryeo people had 100,000 troops, they might not be able to stop them, so the situation was not that bad.  Moreover, Cai Zhiyun still had some selfish motives. If Yu Zhongwen had left the command, Zuo Wuweijun would be just a supporting role and destined not to do much. But now that Yu Zhongwen is gone, the drama will be left to Zuo Wuweijun.

    Yu Wenshu on the south bank of the river panicked when he saw Yu Zhongwen running away.  He was very aware of the choice Yu Zhongwen faced, but the more so, the more afraid he became, fearing that he would become a prisoner of the Goguryeo people.

    At this time, Yu Wenshu did not care to continue organizing the army's retreat on the south bank of the Sa River. Instead, he hurriedly crossed the Sa River and tried to catch up with Yu Zhongwen's main force.

    At the same time, after Yu Wenshu crossed the Sa River, he directly ordered General Xin Shixiong of the Youtun Guard to lead his troops to organize defenses on the south bank of the Sa River to cover the retreat of the main force.

    It is said to be a cover, but in fact it is just cannon fodder.

    After the general managers, each one is prominent, and almost everyone is a representative of one force.  Only Xin Shixiong, the general of Youtunwei, was born as a general in Longyou, but he did not have a strong backing.  At this time, who else should be sacrificed if he is not sacrificed? Could it be Zhao Cai, the emperor's confidant, Zhang Jin, the direct descendant of Guan Long, or Cui Hongsheng, the grandfather of the emperor's grandson.

    Xin Shixiong also knew the embarrassment of his identity, so after receiving the order, he was filled with grief and anger, but had nowhere to express it. In the end, he could only say: "Be loyal to the country and die without regrets!"

    In this way, Xin Shixiong and Cai Zhiyun arranged arrays on the bank of Sashui in one direction from the south to the north to cut off the rear of the army  The north side was okay, because the Sui army's cavalry had been expanding their reconnaissance. In order to prevent the Sui army from discovering it, the Goguryeo people had a large ambush circle and were far away.  But to the south was the main force of Goguryeo that was chasing after them. At this time, they finally arrived and hit Xuan Tu's army hard.

    The Xuantu Army located on the south bank was relatively intact because it had not been attacked by floods.  It's just that the army has been running wildly for so long and is exhausted.

    Xin Shixiong did not care about repairs, so he ordered the army to build fortifications. However, before preparations were completed, the enemy had already arrived.  The two sides immediately got into a melee and fought desperately.

    At this time, the Sui army could not help but fight desperately, but there were too many Goguryeo people. Xin Shixiong felt that there were enemies on all sides, and even his swords were cut and curled, but he could not break through the encirclement.  And because of the previous chaos, his orders could not be transmitted to all ministries, so they had to fight independently, and Xin Shixiong himself could command fewer troops.

    The formation is not in line, it is simply a chaotic battle.

    Xin Shixiong watched as Goguryeo's army divided and dispersed the fragmented Xuantu army bit by bit.

    Although Xin Shixiong was the leader of an army, he also went into battle personally.  Holding a big spear in his hand, he rushed back and forth without fear of life or death. His horse was shot to death by the enemy, so Xin Shixiong carried the big spear and fought desperately on foot.

    The two sides fought back and forth for almost an inch of land on the south bank of Sashui.

    By the end of the battle, almost all the guards around Xin Shixiong were killed. He himself was shot several times and was covered in blood. He was leaning on his fallen horse, but he could not stand up.  At this time, he could only hold a big flag in his hand and barely keep it from falling.

    The Goguryeo people gathered in a crowd, pointed their swords at Xin Shixiong and shouted: "Catch a Sui general! Catch a Sui general!"

    At this time, Xin Shixiong, who was stained with blood on his robes, raised his head, looked at the enemies on all sides, and smiled contemptuously: "In the Sui Dynasty, there were loyal ministers who died in battle, but there were no generals who were captured." Suddenly, he slammed into the man pointing at him in front of him.  Spears, several spears came out of the body, blood splattered everywhere.

    Xin Shixiong breathed his last reluctantly, but only the big flag in his hand remained standing.  The Goguryeo people around him looked at Xin Shixiong's body and all looked at each other in shock.

    After Xin Shixiong died in battle, Xuantu's army became even more chaotic and was left at the mercy of others.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
