Turbulent Times Chapter 1138: Big win


Most of Wang Junlin's army has also lost their formation during the pursuit and attack. Once the army loses its camp, it will be almost impossible to regroup for a while.

As a result, the battlefield has completely lost control at this time, but Wang Junlin's rebels are chasing and killing wildly while taking advantage of the victory, and Goguryeo soldiers are running around. The situation cannot be reversed.

Bowstrings and fast crossbows were crackling, Yuchi Jingde led his light cavalry to chase the fastest, while chasing and shooting at the moving Goguryeo deserters, but ran very fast on the battlefield, leaving the infantry far away behind.

The yellow dust pervading the wilderness of the Heishui Grand Canyon is like a blazing flame, and countless running pawns seem to be galloping in the fire. On the battlefield, no one knows who is which. They are all running around. Only the soldiers are left around the generals. No one can command the current army.

The ground was full of dead or wounded officers and soldiers of the Koguryo army, and the cavalry trampled over the corpses and wounded soldiers mercilessly. The contact area on the battlefield is limited. In fact, the five thousand officers and soldiers of Luo Chunlai, who belongs to the second echelon of infantry on Wang Junlin's side, have not killed a single time in the battle, so they have to run along. So these 5,000 navy officers and soldiers became the main force of the chase, scrambling to catch up and kill a few people, so as to gain some military merits.

In short, the infantry and cavalry on Wang Junlin's side seemed to turn into waves and surge forward.

At this moment, a large area suddenly fell to the knees in the smoke and dust on the opposite side, and many people around also fell to their knees one after another. It was as if a **** had thrown a stone in the middle, and the wave-like ripples spread rapidly around.

"I surrender..."

"Surrender..."

"Forgive me..."

The sky-shattering shouts in Goguryeo sounded chaotically among a large area of ​​enemy soldiers. Countless people knelt in the wilderness, and thousands of Goguryeo soldiers who could not escape in the end surrendered. But there were also some who escaped quickly, thinking they could escape, and ran towards the way they came, or ran towards the mountain paths on both sides.

But the next moment a series of explosions frightened these people back from the mountain paths on both sides.

Under the leadership of Zhang Tiangang, the special forces, who have been invisible for a long time, planted landmines at the entrance of the mountain road where Koguryo soldiers might escape on both sides.

Retreat from the mountain road

Some of the defeated soldiers chose to surrender when they came back, and some chose not to take the mountain road, but chose to climb the mountain and cross the ditch to escape. As for following the way of origin, there was no one, because everyone already knew that the way of origin was blown up.

Seeing this, Wang Junlin said: "Order Guan Xiaotong and Lu Han to drive and concentrate the surrendered troops, Yuchi Jingde leads people to chase after Li Guangsheng, and Luo Chunlai leads his subordinates to chase and kill the escaped soldiers."

Li Guangsheng ran along the hillside along the edge of the mountain road with hundreds of his own soldiers, got into the vast mountains, and soon disappeared from sight.

………

………

The corpses of Goguryeo soldiers are scattered in the Heishui Grand Canyon. To the northeast is a group of prisoners squatting densely, surrounded by some Wang Junlin infantry guards. Some scattered fights and screams erupted from several hills and mountains farther away.

Wang Junlin rode a blood-maned horse, surrounded by a group of people, and walked in the Grand Canyon. The first thing that caught his eyes was nearly 3,000 war horses. These war horses were also very tired and stopped running around.

Beside the war horse, there are more than 5,000 Goguryeo reinforcements, surrounded by Wang Junlin's infantry guards, their heads are downcast, their eyes are dull, and they all lower their heads and sit on the ground. All the weapons and armor on their bodies have been disarmed, and they kneel on the ground. Most of them look numb or He looked bleak and hopeless.

Not far away, Jin Sanhu, Jin Xiaowu, Cui Hongguang and other Goguryeo surrendered generals and soldiers came in and out among the captives, and more than 300 people were selected from the captives.

Shen Guoer took the three hundred people aside and reviewed them one by one, then handed over weapons and armor to them, and gave them each a horse, and gave them dry food, water and fodder, and let them Sit down and rest.

While carefully observing the changes in the faces of these three hundred people, Wang Junlin asked, "Did Li Guangsheng catch it?"

Shen Guoer replied: "Not yet, he fled into the southern mountains, where there are many high mountains and valleys, and the sky is getting dark now, General Yuchi is not familiar with the terrain, so it may be difficult to find for a while, but Zhang Tiangang just now Send someone to report, he has led the special forces to catch up, with the strength of the special forces, he must be able to catch Li Guangsheng back."

Wang Junlin nodded, glanced at the sky that was almost dusk, and said to the messengers on the left and right: "It's getting dark, send the order, camp at the same place at night, and give priority to the wounded

After setting up the soldiers, deploy defenses as soon as possible and send out guards. "

There are soldiers on the left and right to receive orders and go to convey orders to the troops. Wang Junlin turned to Jin Sanhu again and said, "General Jin, bring your names just now, first persuade them to surrender, and if they agree, bring them to me, and then let them screen out the captives. Soldiers who are willing to surrender immediately, other diehards are selected and killed directly, so as not to confuse the hearts of the prisoners. Guoer, you bring people to cooperate with General Jin to act."

Jin Sanhu respectfully said yes, and then, accompanied by Shen Guoer, led a group of soldiers towards the captives.

Wang Junlin led the people to continue to walk forward. The corpses became denser as they walked, and finally reached the place where the battle began. , crossbows, guns, and some earth pits where gunpowder packs exploded. After absorbing a lot of blood, the ground turned into a reddish deep black, and the air was full of a strong smell of blood.

More than ten steps away from here, there are rows of corpses of Wang Junlin soldiers neatly arranged. Behind them are thousands of various wounded. Four cowhide tents were temporarily used to build a field hospital. The wounded were carried in continuously for treatment. Some seriously injured screamed from time to time, and some seriously injured died one after another. They were carried out and placed next to other corpses.

Wang Junlin stared at the scene in front of him for a long time without saying a word. Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong beside him also kept sighing. Today's battle was considered a big victory, but it also lost more than a thousand people and seriously injured nearly a hundred people. , slightly injured more than 300 people.

The sun in the distance is slowly setting, the sun is no longer dazzling, it has become a warm haze, lightly sprinkled on the row of corpses, Wang Junlin was a little distracted, Guan Xiaotong next to him couldn't help but said: "My lord should command properly and use his troops like a god. Otherwise, if my lord hadn't chosen this perfect place to plan this ambush, how could we have won such a big victory. There will definitely be more casualties in our army."

Wang Junlin sighed with emotion, nodded and was about to speak when suddenly cheers erupted from a mountain pass in the south, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. He came out of the mountain road and walked towards him. The bound man seemed to be unconscious, so he was held up by two special forces soldiers.
