    Wait until midnight, the night is sparse and silent.  It was already the last few days of the month, and the waning moon didn't come out until late at night, so there was no moon in the sky and no one could be seen.

    The Sui army's position opposite was also silent, with no patrol soldiers or light visible.

    The Goguryeo army quietly opened the west city gate. Commander An Dianbao took the lead and led 20,000 cavalry to rush out from the city gate.  The slope of the Sui army was only a few feet away from the moat. The terrain was narrow and it was difficult to form a formation. An Dianbao had to divide the attacking army into two and attack from the left and right sides of the slope.

    An Chonggang, the deputy general of An Dian Baoling, commanded the first division and attacked from the right. He led a large group of cavalry to rush out from the left side of Tupo. Both sides attacked behind Tupo.

    Because the Sui Army¡¯s earth slope was blocked by fences on both sides and front, the angle of the slope was almost 90 degrees vertical.  Therefore, if you want to reach the high slope, the front side is absolutely impossible, and you have to go up the slope from the east side of the high slope.

    An Dianbao walked forward and vaguely saw a row of walls not far away from the opposite side, but he couldn't see clearly what it was.  At this time, the arrow was on the string and he had no choice but to fire it. He could not make any other decision but ordered the entire army to speed up the attack.  An Dianbao knew very well that even if he paid huge casualties, as long as the Sui army's artillery position was destroyed, everything would be worth it.

    However, An Dianbao had not rushed far when suddenly the cavalry in front fell off their horses, causing chaos.

    "There is a trap!"

    The people in front shouted one after another and wanted to retreat, but the people behind were also squeezed into a narrow passage and did not know the situation ahead, so they continued to move forward while also supporting the front troops.

    The sound of the Goguryeo cavalry falling off their horses was almost an order to attack. The Sui troops lying in ambush in the ditch showed their ferocious fangs and shot at the Goguryeo cavalry.

    Huang Mingyuan ambushed a large number of crossbowmen just to serve the opponent a good dish.  The Goguryeo cavalry were trapped in this narrow space, unable to move, and were shot one after another.

    At this time, the Sui army on the high slope also began to attack the Goguryeo cavalry down the slope.  Rolling wood, rocks, gold juice and hot oil were thrown down desperately.

    Where did the Goguryeo cavalry dodge? Countless people were smashed to death and burned to death.

    At this time, An Dianbao, who was in the army, finally knew that they had been ambushed by the Sui army.  He immediately gave the order, and the rear team followed the front team and retreated into the city.

    But the entire Goguryeo army was in chaos, and his orders could not be heard.  Everyone was scurrying around like headless flies.

    Jiang Yishi on the top of the city also discovered the ambush and immediately ordered the troops in the city to respond.  However, the artillery carriages of the Sui army had been prepared long ago and were aimed at the city gate of Goguryeo at the beginning of the battle.  Countless boulders smashed at the west gate of Goguryeo, breaking the gate.  Moreover, hundreds of boulders weighing tens of kilograms accumulated together and blocked the entire city gate.

    There were even other huge rocks that broke the suspension bridge of the west city gate.

    At this time, Jiang Yishigan watched the summons, but the army could not leave the city.  Jiang Yishi wanted to lead his army to rescue from other city gates, but Zuo Xiong dissuaded him.  The Sui army set up an ambush outside the west gate, indicating that they were well prepared. If the Sui army also set up ambushes at other city gates, Jiang Yishi's reinforcements would become the prey of the Sui army.  If too few reinforcements are sent, it won't work. If too many reinforcements are sent, Liaodong City will really be destroyed.

    Jiang Yishi knew that Zuo Xiong's words were correct, so he had to order the troops to hold on with tears in his eyes.

    In order to support the cavalry who were fighting bloody battles below the city, Jiang Yishi ordered the archers on top of the city and the remaining artillery carts in the city to attack the Sui army as a diversion.

    But soon, the Sui army¡¯s thunder cannons also began to swear at the city head.  Moreover, the Sui army also invented a bed crossbow with an oil bag attached to it. When these bed crossbows hit the city head, the oil bag was ignited by rockets, and the Liaodong city wall ignited a fire again.

    The Goguryeo army at the top of the city had too much to take care of itself, so how could they care about the cavalry below.

    At this time, An Dianbao was unable to command the entire army, so he had to command the cavalry around him to rush forward, hoping to bring the originally chaotic troops together.

    At this time, the things that looked like walls on the opposite side were knocked down one after another.  A shadowy black shadow came towards them.

    "Cavalry of the Sui Army!"

    Huang Mingyuan mobilized five hundred armored cavalry to ambush here, just to catch the opponent off guard.

    The speed disadvantage of armored cavalry makes it difficult for armored cavalry to function in many cases, especially in large-scale field battles, but this does not mean that it is outdated.  In a narrow space with limited terrain like today, the armored cavalry is the unparalleled king on the land battlefield.

    The armored cavalry began to accelerate slowly. After a short distance, they rushed towards the opposite side like mountains and seas.?The Goguryeo cavalry pressed forward.

    The two sides soon collided together, and the Goguryeo cavalry was as terrifying as hitting a mountain.  No matter how much they slashed with their knives, they still couldn't hurt each other at all.  When the Sui army's long cannon passed by, all the people fell on their backs.

    The two sides fought for less than half a quarter of an hour, and the ground was covered with the corpses of Goguryeo cavalry.  The Sui army was like a group of demons from hell, constantly harvesting the lives of the Goguryeo cavalry.

    "Ah! Ah"

    There were constant shouts of collapse of the Goguryeo cavalry, trying to escape backwards, but they were trapped in this narrow area and could not escape at all.  There were also Goguryeo cavalry kneeling to surrender to the Sui army, but the Sui army could not stop for them, so they had no choice but to move forward, even stepping over the bodies of these ambush soldiers.

    Seeing that the Goguryeo cavalry in the rear group could not escape, countless people jumped into the moat.  At the same time, some crowded people pushed countless people into the moat.

    The moat was filled with wailing sounds that never stopped.

    An Dianbao also knew at this time that the whole army would not be spared, so he tried his best to escape to the south gate, where he happened to meet Xi Jing.

    Xi Ju is a brave man who is the best in the world. In Huang Mingyuan's opinion, in terms of horse fighting alone, the only ones who can compete with him are his younger brothers Huang Mingliao and Yu Wen Chengdu.

    Therefore, in this battle, Huang Mingyuan asked him to come as the commander of the right-wing assault cavalry, just in time to bump into An Dianbao.

    Seeing An Dianbao escaping, Xi Jie raised his spear and smashed it.  An Dianbao rushed to block it, but was shocked to the point of numbness.  However, An Dianbao was known as the most powerful general in Goguryeo, and he also had some skills. He wielded a steel spear and fought with Xi Ding.  Three spears on the left, three spears on the right, three spears on the top, and three spears on the bottom.  An Dianbao danced so well that his spear was airtight. Although he was in a poor state, his spear technique was not messy at all.

    Xi Jing was unable to do anything to the other party for a while.

    An Dianbao also knew that if he continued to fight, he might not be his opponent, so he used a flaw and turned around and left.  Xi Dian failed to catch up and allowed An Dianbao to escape. In the end, he had to kill some soldiers to vent his anger.

    An Dianbao was brave and good at fighting, but the Sui army could not catch up with him, so he fought his way out of the siege and returned to the city through the north gate.  But the cavalry under him were much worse. They were already in chaos and lost their commander. They had to be surrounded by the Sui army outside the city and eliminated bit by bit.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
