Chapter 609: Breakout

Yuwen Ke believed that he would never regret it. When Yuwen Chui attacked Dayan Lake and suffered heavy casualties, Gao Yuan suddenly arrived. The battle had actually failed. Since failure was irreversible, maintaining the manpower was the best choice.

Using infantry to cover the cavalry's retreat, there is no need to worry about firewood. Compared with infantry, cavalry is the foundation of Donghu. Infantry can be retrained quickly, but it takes many years to train an elite cavalry.

In fact, an hour later, when Yuwen Ke's cavalry began to withdraw, he regretted it.

On the east bank of the Liao River, the Zhengdong Army appeared. A full 3,000 cavalrymen, when his team just started to cross the river and only a few hundred cavalrymen had passed, 3,000 Zhengdong cavalrymen suddenly rushed out. There was no suspense in the battle. The cavalry that crossed the river first was wiped out after a round of charging by the opponent, and now the ferry has been sealed.

Xu Yuan was ahead of Yuwen Ke in this move. As soon as Chen Bin took the floating bridge, Gongsun Yi's 3,000 cavalrymen began to cross the river. Compared with Yuwen Ke, his reaction was faster.

The task of these 3,000 cavalrymen was to block the ferry and keep Yuwen Ke's main force on the east bank.

Now, it was Yuwen Ke's turn and he had no choice. He had to attack, attack with all his strength, and defeat his opponent or break out before Gao Yuan arrived.

Things went around and returned to the original point mentioned by Tian Zongmin.

On his left and right were Xu Yuan's First Army and Yan Peng's Second Army.

Yuwen Ke chose to attack Yan Peng's Second Army. This was Tian Zongmin's suggestion. When Yuwen Ke realized his mistake, he released Tian Zongmin immediately. This was naturally not the time to care about it. Tian Zongmin proposed to attack Yan Peng's Second Army instead of Xu Yuan's First Army without hesitation, even though Xu Yuan had been fighting hard these days and was exhausted.

Because the core of Xu Yuan's First Army was the former Eastern Expedition Army. Although Tian Zongmin came from Qi, as a country that had always been plotting against Yan, he would naturally have a detailed understanding of the people who could stir up the situation in Yan.

Gao Yuan was naturally the focus of their understanding. It can be said that many major events in Yan in recent years were related to Gao Yuan. Xu Yuan led Gao Yuan's direct troops, which was naturally a hard bone to chew. Tian Zongmin also knew that the people he fought with these days were basically the standing troops of Yan rescued from the settlements. In other words, although Xu Yuan's casualties were not less than his own, his core combat power was still there.

The relationship between Yan's father and son and Gao Yuan was a bit strange now, with more cooperation than confrontation. Moreover, Yan Peng's subordinates were mainly Hejian County soldiers. In comparison, these county soldiers could not be compared with Gao Yuan's elite soldiers.

Whether they could break through would depend on whether they could break through Yan Peng's defense.

Picking the soft persimmons to eat is naturally the only choice for fighting. . ..
