    The brutality of this battle exceeded everyone¡¯s imagination.

    After the Sui army opened up the situation, they stabilized the defense line, and the Goguryeo people did not show weakness when they saw this. Eulji Wende immediately ordered his troops to block the gap and continuously counterattacked the Sui army.  The main cavalry of both sides fought back and forth on the battlefield, strangling the effective forces of both sides like a meat grinder.

    The two sides attacked and defended, with a back-and-forth tug-of-war in between.

    By the evening of the second day, both sides were exhausted and unable to fight anymore.

    The broken Sui army no longer knows how many casualties it has suffered. Except for the Zengdi Army, the rest of the army is in chaos and disorganized. In the end, it is just a mechanical battle.

    However, Sui Jun still relied on tenacity to defend his bottom line.

    This kind of tenacity makes Ulji Munduk extremely scary.  He understood the power of the Sui army better than anyone else, so when this power broke out again, Eulji Wende felt a faint fear in his heart.

    This time, all those participating in the bloody battle were the elites of Goguryeo, and they were also the last army of Goguryeo.  Eulji Wende originally planned to use them to beat up the drowned dog, but he never expected that it would end up in today's situation. The cooked duck was turned into a pot of raw rice alive.  And he had to bite the bullet and eat this pot of raw rice.

    The Sui people, who were on the verge of despair, burst out with infinite strength and exhausted the Goguryeo army.  In the end, Eulji Mundeok had to withdraw his troops and regroup.

    The Sui army could afford it, but Goguryeo really couldn't afford it.

    Ulchi Mundeok's retreat gave the Sui army an opportunity to stir up the entire situation.

    Eulji Mundeok¡¯s heart was palpitating, and Chai Jiyun on the opposite side was not relaxed either.  This battle faltered several times, but he gritted his teeth and held on.  Zengdijun was like a fire captain, rushing wherever there was danger. There were several times when he himself had to fight with a knife.

    It was not until this time that he truly felt the fighting power of Goguryeo's elite. The Sui army had not complained about its previous defeat.

    This battle resulted in thousands of casualties among the local army, all of them elite, and the army suffered severe injuries.  The Xuantu army as the rearguard suffered even more heavy casualties.  They had been surrounded by the Goguryeo people and fought bloody battles. Countless people including their coach Xin Shixiong and others were killed. By the end of the war, there were only about 10,000 soldiers left, and all of them were injured.

    Xuan Tu's army was not fully organized, so Cai Zhiyun had no choice but to gather up Xuantu's army and ordered Xin Wenli to command his army.

    Xin Wenli was a good general and had participated in the Northern Expedition, so he got acquainted with Cai Zhiyun.  Cai Zhiyun saved his life at this time, and for the sake of himself and his family, he chose to follow Cai Zhiyun's command.

    As for the rest of the military units, they came from various sources and were not organized. Cai Zhiyun did not know how many casualties there were.  After the war, we could barely count that there were only more than 12,000 capable soldiers, and most of them were defeated. Many of them had lost their courage and needed to be reorganized.

    At this time, it is impossible for these troops to find their headquarters. They can only continue to fight with the Zengdi Army and seek a way out.  But an army of more than 10,000 people is a regular army after all. After the hour, its strength is astonishing, and there are generals at all levels in the army, many of whom are senior generals.  Cai Zhiyun was worried that poor management would become a source of chaos for the entire army.  Therefore, he ordered the various departments of Zuowuwei to select elites from these defeated troops to add to Zuowuwei and enhance Zuowuwei's combat effectiveness.

    As for the fact that this move is not in compliance with the imperial court's regulations, it doesn't matter so much.

    The Zuowu Guards selected more than 4,000 elite troops from various ministries to make up the troops, leading the new with the old, making them more elite.  As for the remaining 8,000 people, Cai Zhiyun divided them into one unit and gave them to Zhang Xikang's command.

    The generals and others in various ministries and others still have lingering fears for the rest of their lives.

    At this time, only the Zuowu Guards were the most organized and had the strongest combat effectiveness. Everyone knew that without the Zuowu Guards they would be defeated, so all the ministries obeyed Cai Zhiyun's command.  At this point, the real reorganization of the force behind enemy lines has been completed.

    Having repelled Goguryeo's pursuit, the two roads before everyone are still the same as before, but the environment in which the army is located has changed.

    Everyone thought that the Goguryeo people had been pushed back, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to retreat north quickly? After all, they did not exceed 50,000 troops at full strength, and the food supplies of the Zengdi Army could only last for six or seven days at most. There was no extra time to fight.  This consumption.

    Someone suggested rescuing the Liaodong Army, but everyone had great doubts about whether Dugu Lan's Liaodong Army was still alive at this time. Many people believed that the Goguryeo people's massive attack meant that they had already annihilated the Liaodong Army.

    But Cai Zhiyun disagreed. He believed that the army should continue to move south.

    Everyone was puzzled, even Huang Mingli and others felt that this move was too risky, and it would be better to retreat north.

      Cai Zhiyun said: "In these two days of decisive battle, our army and the Goguryeo people fought to a draw, without victory or defeat, which shows that both sides still have fighting ability. Now we and the Goguryeo people are like two fighting tigers in the jungle, fighting  They are half dead, but no one admits defeat. This is the time to fight for endurance. Even if you still have a breath, you have to endure it and wait for the opponent to fall down first. If our army crosses the river and goes north now, it will expose its weakest back.  They gave it to the Goguryeo people. Everyone thought that our army marched northward for 450 miles, and there would be many ambushes along the way. However, Goguryeo was able to calmly pursue our army behind it, and our army went northward in a hurry, and how much fighting power it still had in the end."

    Everybody knows.

    But everyone still murmured about Xiangnan. After all, the Sui army did not have much food to squander.

    Cai Zhiyun said: "Our army has no food, but the Goguryeo people do!" After speaking, Cai Zhiyun pointed his finger at a city on the map, which was the humiliating city to the west of Pyongyang City.

    After the generals dispersed, Cai Zhiyun left Huang Mingli alone.

    Others may not understand his intentions, but in the army he must unite Huang Mingli.

    "Fifth general, the real purpose of our trip south this time is to rescue General Zuo Xiaowei Dugulan, not only for us, but also for Duke Wei."

    Huang Mingli was a little confused.

    Cai Zhiyun said: "In recent years, Duke Wei is no longer in the army, and his influence has declined somewhat. Generals such as Zhou Luohu and Changsun Sheng, who were good friends with Duke Wei, have passed away successively. I heard that General Duan Wenzhen is also seriously ill. General Dugu Lan is a close friend of Duke Wei.  He has the most special status and status among the good generals. If we can save his life this time, it will make General Dugulan's heart towards Duke Wei, and Duke Wei's status in the court will be more stable."

    Huang Mingli realized this.

    That night, Zuo Tiancheng's troops, who had gone north to search for the Goguryeo people, finally returned to the north bank of Sashui and joined the army.  After Zuo Tiancheng learned about the flood, he immediately ordered to move closer to the Chinese army.  However, the Goguryeo people also discovered the whereabouts of Zuo Tiancheng's tribe, so they kept biting them.  Zuo Tiancheng fought several bloody battles before he escaped.

    Cai Zhiyun ordered Zuo Tiancheng not to go south to cross the river, but to organize a defense on the spot to support the main force.  Cai Zhiyun issued a death order to Zuo Tiancheng. No matter what, he would fight to the end and die on the north bank of Sashui.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
