Chapter 472:
Pursuing the victory "Report! General, our army was defeated by the enemy reinforcements. The enemy is not far from our main camp. Please make a decision as soon as possible." The scout rushed into the battle, reported to the Goguryeo general, and turned his horse and left.
The enemy will arrive at the battlefield in one minute. In a blink of an eye, they may kill him, and it is still a little short of breaking through the new city.
"Order! The whole army retreats!" The Goguryeo general did not want to become a ghost under the sword of the enemy, so he had to order a retreat.
If he did not retreat, he would wait for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive. Not to mention breaking through the new city, he would be the first to be killed.
Although he was unwilling, it was better than losing his life.
"Yes, sir!" The messenger took the order, turned around and left, and asked the trumpeter to blow the retreat horn to call the army back.
"Woo~Woo~" The retreat horn sounded, and the Goguryeo soldiers who were attacking the city immediately withdrew and leaned against the main formation at the back.
Seeing the enemy retreating like a tide, there was a burst of cheers on the top of the Xincheng city, and the surviving soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The enemy has begun to withdraw, which proves that our reinforcements have arrived. Brothers, the opportunity to make achievements has come, follow me and fight out of the city." Gao Kan raised his arm and called, and all the soldiers responded.
The gate of Xincheng slowly opened, Gao Kan and Pang Tongshan led the soldiers to fight out of the city. At this time, Xue Rengui also led the cavalry to fight in front of the Goguryeo army.
Under the two-sided attack of the Tang army, the Goguryeo army was defeated, and the Tang army won the battle.
"General Xue!" Pang Tongshan and Gao Kan clasped their fists and said.
"General Pang, General Gao! Are you okay?" Xue Rengui clasped his fists and said with concern.
"We are fine! Nothing serious! This time, thanks to General Xue's timely arrival, Xincheng was able to resolve the crisis. Otherwise, I, General Gao, would be a sinner of the Tang Dynasty. I can only die on the battlefield to thank Your Majesty!" Pang Tongshan said.
"I'm relieved that the two generals are fine! What are your plans next?" Xue Rengui asked.
"I decided to lead the troops forward and continue to pursue the defeated Goguryeo army, and take the opportunity to pursue them." Gao Kan said. He was suppressed by the Goguryeo army just now, and he had been holding back a rage in his heart.
Now the Goguryeo army was attacked from front and back, defeated and fled. If not now to beat the fallen dog, when will it be.
Therefore, Gao Kan decided to chase them and beat these dogs who lost their homes, and by the way, vent the evil in his heart, and also make achievements, why not!
"No, General Gao, don't chase the poor enemy!" Pang Tongshan said.
He was worried that the Goguryeo army would have another ambush. What if they encountered a large force of the enemy?
"General Pang, you don't need to say more. I have made up my mind! If you are afraid, stay here and I will lead the troops to chase them." Gao Kan said, then turned around and assembled the troops to chase the defeated Goguryeo army.
"Alas! Why doesn't he listen to others' advice?" Pang Tongshan was a little anxious and angry.
"General Pang, don't worry. The Goguryeo army has been defeated. I believe that Commander Gao can handle it. If you are still worried, I am willing to lead the troops to take care of it." Xue Rengui said. "
In this case, I will leave it to General Xue!" Pang Tongshan clasped his fists and bowed.
With Xue Rengui accompanying him, he felt more at ease. Even if they met the enemy, there was no need to worry, Xue Rengui would definitely bring Gao Kan back safely.
"Goodbye!"
"Take care!"
Xue Rengui and Pang Tongshan said goodbye to each other, and Xue Rengui led his troops to chase Gao Kan.
On the way, the Goguryeo army met Quan Nanchan's troops who came to reinforce them. The Goguryeo general was brought to Quan Nanchan.
"What happened? Didn't I ask you to raid Xincheng? Why did it turn out like this?" Quan Nanchan asked the general who was in a bad state and had an arrow in his arm.
"Sir, I led the army to attack Xincheng. Just when we were about to take Xincheng, the reinforcements of the Tang army arrived."
"I was outnumbered by the Tang army and fought bloody battles. I was defeated and fled. I was also shot in the arm." The general said.
"Waste, you can't even take down a small Xincheng. What's the use of you? Go back and apologize to Mo Lizhi!" Quan Nanchan scolded.
"Yes!" The general bowed his head and replied.
"Pass the order down, set up camp on the spot." Quan Nanchan ordered.
Originally, he led his troops to Xincheng, waiting for the Goguryeo general to take down Xincheng, cut off the supply of Li Li's army, and then severely damage the Tang army, forcing the Tang army not to dare to attack Goguryeo again.
No one expected that the Goguryeo general was defeated by the Tang army while he was still halfway to Xincheng, which completely disrupted their battle plan.
After receiving the order from Quan Nanchan, the army began to stop and prepare to find a suitable place to set up camp.
At this time, a scout rode up and stopped in front of Quan Nanchan, "My lord, a large number of Tang troops were found ahead, and they should be chasing our Tang army."
"Where is the Tang army now?" Quan Nanchan asked with his eyes brightened.
If they can defeat this pursuer, they may be able to take Xincheng.
"The Tang army is not far from Jinshan." The scout reported.
"Good! God is really helping me! Immediately pass the order, the whole army will attack, speed up, I want to destroy the Tang army in Jinshan." Quan Nanchan was overjoyed and gave the order immediately.
"Yes!" The messenger turned and left, and the army received the order and began to speed up to Jinshan.
Gao Kan led his troops to Jinshan and happened to meet Quan Nanchan's troops. The two sides started fighting without saying a word.
Unfortunately! In this battle, Gao Kan's Tang army suffered a disadvantageous first battle and was defeated by Quan Nanchan's troops. Gao Kan had no choice but to fight and retreat.
"Report to the lord! The left wing of the Tang army was defeated!"
"Report to the lord! The right wing of the Tang army was defeated!"
"Report to the lord! The center of the Tang army began to move back." The scout reported the situation on the front line.
"It seems that the Tang army is planning to escape. Pass the order to immediately surround and destroy them." Quan Nanchan saw Gao Kan's intention. In order to prevent Gao Kan from escaping, he ordered the entire army to press forward to encircle Gao Kan.
The Goguryeo army slowly began to encircle Gao Kan. When it was about to succeed, Xue Rengui led his troops to attack from the flank, catching the Goguryeo army off guard.
He tore a hole in the Goguryeo army that was about to form an encirclement, and killed three times. Finally, Xue Rengui led his troops to attack the Goguryeo main camp and went straight to Quan Nanchan.
Seeing this, Gao Kan no longer retreated, but turned back to attack, and cooperated with Xue Rengui's troops to advance forward.
"Sir, the enemy has arrived, please evacuate quickly!" Seeing that Xue Rengui's troops were getting closer and closer to Quan Nanchan's headquarters, the generals urged Quan Nanchan to retreat for his safety.
Quan Nanchan had no choice but to retreat. As soon as Quan Nanchan retreated, the Goguryeo soldiers who were resisting in front of him were defeated.
In this battle, the Tang army won the victory, defeated the Goguryeo army, killed more than 50,000 enemy soldiers, and Quan Nanchan fled back to Pyongyang.
