On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 342 Delaying time

Eulji Wende led 40,000 cavalrymen and rushed out of the mountains. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the coalition siege troops had no time to react, they attacked the Sui army's camp.

In his plan, as long as he broke through the empty Sui army camp and set fire to the supplies, even if Cui Che could not be forced back, the morale of the coalition forces would be greatly affected.

When the Goguryeo cavalry was like a black dragon, rushing towards the Sui army's camp, Mai Tiezhang was armed with armor and sharpened, ready for battle. Behind him were 10,000 fully armed elite cavalry.

Mai Tiezhang has been thinking about a question. Is it because Eulji Wende has drifted away or because he can't lift the knife?

Four large camps stood in the wilderness, each with enough defenders. Why did the Goguryeo people dare to come and even abandon the Khitan, Turks, and Kumoxi to attack the Sui army camp in broad daylight?

Since when has the combat effectiveness of Yan's border army been underestimated?

Of course he didn't know that Eulji Mundeok misjudged that the Sui army's camp was empty, which was why he behaved so abnormally.

Mai Tiezhang even thought there was a trick. Therefore, even though ten thousand cavalry were already in position in a hurry and could launch a countercharge against the Goguryeo cavalry at any time, he still closed the camp gate tightly and did not dare to leave the camp to engage with the enemy.

war.

The Goguryeo cavalry was already very close to the Sui army's camp, but Liang Wanchun saw a black cloud rising from the Sui army's camp and flying towards the charging Goguryeo cavalry.

His expression changed drastically. Wasn't the Sui army's camp empty? Where did this rain of arrows come from?

The scene of thousands of arrows shooting together also made Eulji Mundeok dumbfounded.

It shouldn’t be! Didn’t Cui Che fall into the trap?

In an instant, arrows rained down from the sky like raindrops. A large number of Goguryeo cavalry were hit by arrows and fell from their horses, and their wails filled the sky.

"General Eulji! The Sui people haven't left! They are in the camp!"

There is no need for people around him to remind him hoarsely, Eulji Munduk himself has eyes.

Eulji Mundeuk shouted loudly:

"Back! Back quickly!"

With 40,000 people charging, military orders would be difficult to convey to everyone for a while. Moreover, the inertia of the charging horses made it difficult to turn around immediately. For a while, the Goguryeo people fell into chaos.

The wheat iron rod really puzzled the two-foot-long monk. He didn’t know what kind of medicine was sold in Ulji Wende’s gourd.

First, they launched a fearless charge against the heavily guarded camp, but they were only hit by a hail of arrows, and their position was already in chaos.

'Could he be trying to lure me out of the camp?'

Mai Tiezhang stood on the watchtower and couldn't help but think.

The person beside him pointed to the north and reminded loudly:

"General, look!"

Mai Tiezhang looked around and saw a group of thousands of cavalry rushing out of the Khitan camp. The leader could not see clearly, but Mai Tiezhang could vaguely guess that it might be Cui Qiji.

Cui Che took the main cavalry of the Khitan army to the front line to suppress the formation, preventing the coalition infantry from falling into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides when attacking the city.

Cui Qiji was left with a cavalry force of 2,000 men in addition to 3,000 infantry soldiers to guard the Khitan camp.

When Mai Tiezhang saw that Cui Qiji dared to leave the city with only two thousand cavalry, he could no longer stand. If he did not rush to aid Cui Qiji, the Khitan cavalry would definitely be destroyed.

If Cui Qiji died, how would he explain to his father?

In desperation, Mai Tiezhang actually jumped off the watchtower. Fortunately, he didn't hurt his feet. He shouted for someone to open the camp gate, then got on his horse, and rushed out of the camp with 10,000 cavalry, rushing towards the panicked people. Goguryeo Army.

It was not only Mai Tiezhang who came for reinforcements, Wei Zheng, who was responsible for staying at Kumoxi Camp, was also urging his soldiers to go out to fight.

Even Mai Mengcai, who was in the Turkic camp, personally led a thousand cavalry out.

Cui Qiji finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw all three camps going out to fight.

He didn't know what went so crazy as Eulji Mundeok, but with the help of a telescope given to him by his father, he could clearly see the panic expression on the Goguryeo people's faces.

This is not acting at all, they are really in chaos, and Cui Che is still ten miles away. By the time his father returns from the front line, I am afraid that these Goguryeo people have already fled.

Cui Qiji was unwilling to let go of this opportunity, but he also knew that the two thousand Khitan cavalry under his command alone would not be able to retain the opponent at all.

Fortunately, Cui Che was the special envoy sent to various ministries and was responsible for staying in the camp.

It is also so that when he goes to the front line to supervise the battle, the people left behind can cooperate with Mai Tiezhang and become each other's horns.

Cui Qiji had few soldiers, but Mai Tiezhang and Wei Zheng had many soldiers. If he was in danger, Cui Qiji believed that these people would definitely come out to support him.

When the Goguryeo people saw four large camps, countless horsemen were rushing toward them, and they became even more panicked.

The four camps were not far from each other. Mai Tiezhang was not in a hurry to rush into the formation, but instead joined Cui Qiji first.

"Sir! How can you get involved in danger!"

The noise on the battlefield forced Mai Tiezhang to shout at the top of his lungs.

Cui Qiji was not busy apologizing, he said excitedly:

"General Mai! Don't talk about this for now. Charge quickly and entangle the Goguryeo people. I will be back soon. As long as you keep them, when I return to the army, I will definitely defeat the enemy and win!"

What is the reason for the wheat iron rod:

“Can camp”

Cui Qiji said anxiously:

"Don't worry about the camps anymore. As long as the waiting city is still there, even if all four camps are lost, it won't hurt the foundation.

"Now that Eulji Mundeok has finally arrived, the opportunity cannot be missed. Getting rid of the threat of this cavalry is the top priority!"

Mai Tiezhang gritted his teeth and responded:

"good!"

He immediately called to his soldiers and charged the enemy cavalry. Cui Qiji followed closely behind. At the same time, Xi Ren cavalry and a thousand Turkic cavalry led by Mai Mengcai also approached from the other direction.

Previously, the Sui army waited for the Goguryeo cavalry to approach the camp a hundred paces away before releasing their arrows. In just a few breaths, they had already approached the Sui camp.

Now that we had finally managed to get some distance away, the defenders from each battalion had already rushed out.

Eulji Mundeok knew that there was no time for him to leave calmly at this time. He rushed from the eastern mountainous area. The man was not tired, and the horse was tired.

If they just retreat and are overtaken by the coalition forces behind them, this will inevitably turn into a rout in pursuit of death and the north.

It was still necessary to drive back the pursuers. As a last resort, Eulji Mundeok could only lead his soldiers to turn around and fight.

The two sides fought each other in the fields outside the camp. During the chaotic battle, the soldiers screamed one after another.

Eulji Mundeok was not a strong general, but he also killed two people in a row on the battlefield, but his face was solemn. He knew that these people were stalling for time, waiting for Cui Che to return for reinforcements.

Although the Goguryeo army had the upper hand due to its numerical superiority, if they could not kill the opponent, they would be destroyed sooner or later when Cui Che came back for reinforcements.

A journey of ten miles does not take long for the cavalry.

The coalition forces, led by their generals, fought to the death to hold back the Goguryeo people.

While Eulji Mundeok was fighting bloody battles, he finally heard the sounds coming from the south all day long.
