In a battle outside Joseon City, the Silla people were severely defeated. Only a hundred riders of the 100,000-strong army were left, and they fled eastward to Zhangsai in embarrassment.
It turned out that Jin Longchun was surrounded by seven or eight hundred horsemen, but the Sui army spotted Jin Longchun's figure and pursued him like a maggot on his tarsus. Jin Longchun and his men crossed the river in the shallow water and were besieged by the Sui army, leaving less than a hundred riders.
Everyone fled for a day and a night, not knowing where they fled. Looking behind him, Sui Jun could no longer be seen, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
??Looking at the people around him, discarding their helmets and armor, they were in panic all day long. Jin Longchun, who had escaped the disaster, couldn't help crying loudly.
"How can I go to see the king if my army of one hundred thousand is wiped out in one day?"
No one in the group came forward to persuade him, and many people felt contempt for the coach. I feel really bad after such a defeat, even if I cut my own head with a knife, why should I cry and scream here without being able to do it?
Jin Shuxuan, the only one who could be a compliment to Jin Yongchun, was so sad because of the loss of his son Jin Yuxin that he could no longer care about Jin Yongchun.
Jin Longchun howled for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him. After a while, he became bored and had to stop crying, but he just sat there sighing to save his face.
Everyone rested for the night and continued south, preparing to go to Zhangsai.
Along the way, Jin Longchun was worried, and he didn¡¯t know whether the Sui army had entered Zhang fortress. In addition to being a gathering place for the Silla people, it was also a logistics base for the Silla people. Once the deer is lost, Silla's future may really be uncertain.
Everyone walked all morning and were not far from the ancient city.
This place is the only remaining branch of the Great Territory, and the road is very difficult to travel.
After a morning of marching, everyone was exhausted. It¡¯s the end of May and the weather is already very hot. Everyone wore armor and marched hastily, sweating like rain all the way. When they arrived at a shady place, the exhausted people lay on the ground in a mess, enjoying the cool and resting.
They were all on the run and had no supplies. They had to live on the dry food they carried with them along the way. However, there was not much dry food, and soon they would have to kill horses to survive.
Jin Longchun was also tired for two days and could not sleep well. At this time, sitting under the big tree, with the breeze blowing on his face, he was in a trance, and magically fell asleep.
The Silla people were unprepared. At this time, someone not far away from the Silla people was looking at them.
These people who were eyeing Jin Longchun were none other than Zhao Renji and Pan Feng who had escaped from Tiewuan City.
In the first battle of Cheorwon, everyone fought desperately to resist the German army for more than ten days, but in the end they ran out of troops and food, and the city was captured by the German army. When the city was broken, Zhao Renji and Pan Feng led their troops to break through and go north.
The two of them were trapped in Tieyuan City for more than ten days. No one expected that when they came out, they would find that the situation in the entire Lelang County had changed drastically. The Sui army was defeated everywhere, and more than half of the entire Lelang County fell.
Commander Da Xihao was trapped in Songyue, and the Lintun army in the west also retreated step by step, and had retreated to Chepoling. Their army turned out to be the only one in the Hulu River area.
Pan Feng suggested to go north to find the Lintun Army, but Zhao Renji believed that the Lelang battlefield was in decline at this time, and they only had more than a thousand people, no matter where they went, it would be of little use. Instead of staying on both sides of the Hulu River and conducting guerrilla attacks to attack the Silla people's transportation lines and cut off the Silla people's transportation, they could better support various battlefields.
Because of his status, Pan Feng both trusted and guarded Zhao Renji. These days, he has been monitoring Zhao Renji to prevent Zhao Renji from surrendering to the Silla people due to defeat.
¡°But Zhao Renji¡¯s suggestion does make sense.
Pan Feng realized that he was inferior to Zhao Renji in using troops, and seeing that he had no other intentions, he followed him.
So Zhao Renji and Pan Feng launched a guerrilla attack in the Hulu River area. Although there were not many of them, they attacked the Silla people's grain transport teams and attacked the villages and towns occupied by the Silla people. They set up ambushes everywhere, struck everywhere, and appeared mysteriously, which made the Silla people tireless.
The Silla people sent troops to encircle and suppress them, but there were not enough soldiers to fight the Sui army. There were more soldiers and the Sui army fled again. There was nothing they could do against Zhao Renji's troops.
In fact, Zhao Renji also thought about whether to surrender to the Silla people, but this idea was quickly rejected by him.
Most of Zhao Renji¡¯s subordinates are Han and people from various ethnic groups in Liaodong, and they may not be willing to surrender with him. Moreover, in Zhao Renji's view, although the Silla people were coming fiercely, the small country with few people did not have the strength to resist the Sui people. The previous victory was just because the Sui people were scattered and unprepared, but as long as the Sui people freed up their hands, the possibility of victory was extremely high.
Zhao Renji bet that the Sui army could win, and he, a general who fought bloody battles behind enemy lines, would naturally be better off.
The people had been guerrillas in the Hulu River area for more than a month. Seeing that the main force of Silla went north to attack Joseon City, Zhao Renji thenI will definitely follow him to the north.
In Cho In-ki¡¯s view, if the main force of the Silla people goes north, the war will also break out near Chosun City. Although his troops only have a thousand people, they can also play a unique role once they choose an excellent insertion point.
At this time, Pan Feng basically trusted Zhao Renji and agreed to move north.
The two of them led more than a thousand people to guerrilla near Korea City for more than half a month, fighting more than ten times in a row. Although they didn't fight any big battles, they won consecutive battles.
Two days ago, the scouts he sent reported in the direction of North Korea City. Fires filled the air and the shouts of killing were loud. Zhao Renji immediately guessed that the two sides had fought a decisive battle. Soon he found the Silla people scattered in all directions. Knowing that the Silla people were defeated, he felt even more happy and prepared to take advantage of the chaos to capture a few big fish.
I heard that some scouts reported that they had found more than a hundred defeated cavalry, many of whom were wearing good-looking armor.
Zhao Renji was overjoyed. Silla cavalry is scarce, and more than a hundred cavalry is not a small number. Coupled with the exquisite armor he was wearing, Zhao Renji immediately guessed it was a big fish.
Zhao Renji¡¯s army of more than a thousand troops, led by him and Pan Feng, surrounded the opponent on two sides.
Seeing that the opponent was unprepared, Zhao Renji was overjoyed and immediately ordered the archers to step forward and shoot continuously. Then more than ten people stepped forward and threw short spears at the group of broken soldiers.
Jin Longchun and his party were already dizzy from sleeping. They were suddenly attacked. They were so shocked that they could not discern the situation at all.
A group of soldiers on the periphery were shot down by bows, arrows and short spears.
"Enemy attack!"
Almost in the blink of an eye, Zhao Renji and Pan Feng led the Sui army to the front.
Jin Longchun and his entourage had no time to mount their horses, and were cut down by the Sui army swarming forward. The Silla people protected Jin Yongchun and Jin Shuxuan, but they were weak and were quickly wiped out.
Zhao Renji stepped forward. He knew the level of Silla's armor. When he saw Jin Longchun and the others, he felt happy. With such a style of armor, the opponent must be a fifth- or sixth-grade character.
He wants to catch them alive.
When Jin Longchun saw the Sui army, he knew that he would not be spared, so he was ready to kill himself. This time he would have to die.
"But Jin Longchun put the knife on his neck, but he was reluctant to do it. Two or three times in a row, the Sui army had already stepped forward. When Jin Longchun made up his mind and wanted to take action again, two Sui soldiers swarmed up, held him down, and captured him alive. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
