Chapter two hundred and forty third victory

The main force of the six thousand infantry finally arrived and brought news that the direction of the Liaodong City in Goguryeo was changing a little, as if he was about to be preparing to send troops. After hearing this, Li Chongjiu ordered the army to arrive at Liangshui and set up a formation south of Gaimu City.

Yang Linfu once again advised Li Chongjiu, saying that this was definitely Goguryeo's plan to lure the enemy, and that the Han army was yin* under the strong city of Gaimu City, and then surrounded and annihilated it with a large army. Li Chongjiu listened to Yang Linfu's opinion, but did not speak.

The Cangtou Army was deployed in Liangshui, and the city of Gaimu City has also strengthened its city defense in the past few days. Three horse walls under the city seemed to have dug pits, buried caltrops, deer antlers, etc., and there were various rolling wood and rocks piled up on the top of the city, and even several stone throwing machines.

The Goguryeo defenders were ready to fight, and they seemed to recognize Li Chongjiu's Khan's flag. Whenever Li Chongjiu's Khan's flag appeared under a city, drums and gongs would ring and yell, and the defenders would laugh loudly. Several Goguryeo people in white clothes and trousers even wore the clothes of Han women and danced in public. Then they threw their clothes down the city one by one and laughed loudly. This scene made the generals angry. Even though they knew that the Goguryeo people used such means to stimulate the soldiers to attack the city, they could not tolerate it. However, Li Chongjiu made the generals not go to war without authorization.

The next day, a noisy and hustle came from outside Gaimu City. The Goguryeo soldiers were all overjoyed and thought that the Han army had finally come to attack the city. However, after picking up the weapons and running to the top of the city, the Goguryeo soldiers on the top of the city were shocked. The ones who came to attack the city were not the Han army.

I saw dense gray squirming behind the Liangshui River at the city.

Countless people in thick clothes were trekking across the river. Each of them carried a bag of earth behind their backs, and the fully armed Han army drove them down to Gaimu City with a horse whip. The same scene also appeared under the surrounding city. On the top of the city, the Goguryeo soldiers immediately recognized that these people approaching the city were actually the people of their own country.

Under the big banner, Li Chongjiu sat on the horse to watch the formation, and the generals behind him looked at the top of the city with a stern feeling.

"Beat the drum! Attack the city!" Li Chongjiu shouted.

The rumbling drums sounded, and the Goguryeo people in front saw the Han army behind them all raised their bows and crossbows and sabers facing their backs. When the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, these Goguryeo people would rather burn the crops in the fields and fill the wells than give a grain of rice or a sip of water to the Sui army.

But now they were driving forward for the Han army. The Goguryeo people gritted their teeth and walked forward with earth bags on their backs. They shouted to the top of the city in Goguryeo, as if they were telling their own people not to shoot arrows on the top of the city.

At this moment, the first horse defense wall in Gaimu City was instantly submerged by these Goguryeo people. Without any warning, many people were stabbed by caltrops. However, the people behind were urging by the Han army and were immediately submerged by the injured.

The trench was filled with earth bags carried by the Goguryeo people, and the wooden horse-proof wall was also dismantled by these Goguryeo people. Although the dismantling was quite slow, more and more people rushed behind them. Countless people were crowding on the horse-proof wall and pushing them back and forth, and they even broke through the first horse-proof wall. The Goguryeo people on the top of the city of Gaimu City also understood at this time that the Han army actually used their own people to rush the city.

Li Chongjiu clearly felt the anger of the Goguryeo people on the top of the city. Then the first wave of arrows shot down from the top of the city. The Goguryeo people who were carrying deer antlers in front and filling the trenches were immediately caught in arrows.

The Goguryeo people in front were stagnant and stopped, but at this time the Han army behind used various means to urge the Goguryeo people to move forward. The people in front involuntarily pushed forward for the crowd behind. Anyone who wanted to retreat was stepped on the feet of their own people.

The deer-horn trench in the second horse defense wall was also filled up, and the guards on the top of the city could not look at their fortifications, and they were destroyed in this way. After receiving the order, the Goguryeo soldiers began to shoot arrows one by one to kill the people of their country. The stones, tinder, and wooden rocks used to deal with the Han army, rolled down from the city and tilted to the bottom of the mountain. The dense arrowheads flew out from the city.

"Don't shoot arrows, we are our own people." The Goguryeo people in front of them all knelt down and kowtowed, and their crying and wailing sounded loudly into the sky, but these begging people were shot and killed by the arrows of the defenders on the spot.

"I am a great Korean, don't be a coward!" After being translated by someone, Li Chongjiu understood how a general on the head of Gaimucheng was roaring loudly.

The defenders were ruthlessly killing. When the general roared, the soldiers beside him were unable to hang their bows and arrows. Some soldiers even threw their bows and arrows and cried on the top of the city. In this way, the Goguryeo army was shaken at the top of the city. The arrows on the city were slightly weak. In a blink of an eye, the second and third horse defense walls were flattened by the Goguryeo people rushing forward!

boom!

The sound of drums sounded in the city, and the gate to the south of the city suddenly opened. The Goguryeo people who had already rushed to the city were all very happy. Just as they were about to enter the city, the Goguryeo cavalry with ox horns and iron poles in the city surged out and dispersed the crowd.

Li Chongjiu said, "There is no need to drive away these Goguryeo people, prepare for field battles!"

When the generals saw the Goguryeo people in the city abandoning the strong city and fighting with the Sui army, they were all shocked at the moment. The gate of Goguryeo opened wide, and the cavalry roared out, rushing straight to Li Chongjiu's central army. Li Chongjiu watched the opponent's iron cavalry rushing forward, without any tricks, and knew that the opponent's chief general was really angry, so he was simply killing him desperately.

At that moment, the six thousand infantrymen of the Cangtou Army were arranged along the Liangshui front. Three thousand soldiers of Shanggu County were in the front line, and five hundred crossbow archers held crossbows and walked to the front line. Then one thousand archers who could drive one stone and five dou were in the second and third lines. Then, the Mo Dao Hand, the spearman, and the sword and shield soldiers were arranged backwards one by one.

The infantry of the three thousand armies of the Dingling clan in the western Liaoning also picked up big sticks, Guduo and other weapons after the Han army and prepared to fight. Finally, there were Wang Mahan's 1,000 cavalry.

Suddenly, the horse's hooves broke through the calm Liangshui. The river water was splashed high by the horse's hooves. The Goguryeo Iron Cavalry wearing a ox-horned iron pole, holding a sharp iron spear, pulled out the horse and crossed the river to attack the Sui army's positions. The attacking queue of the Goguryeo cavalry was impressive. Under the cover of the ox-horned iron pole, the cavalry in blue-black armor immediately filled the north bank of the Liangshui. The soldiers' bodies were galloping with the horses, and they were undulating like waves.

The clanging sound of iron armor was accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, and then a large number of infantry holding spears also tilted out from the city gate, and a large flag with an extremely dazzling character under the city gate was erected there.

"Kill all the Han dogs!" The surging sounds of countless Goguryeo soldiers suddenly came overwhelmed.

Seeing this scene, there were some concerns on both sides. Beads of sweat slid down from the nose and forehead of the first row of crossbowmen.

When the Goguryeo cavalry was killed at half-way, Li Chongjiu's flag hanging high in his right hand suddenly fell down. The first row of crossbow soldiers pulled the hanging knife, and the crossbow bow shook, and the arrows were like locusts. The Goguryeo cavalry rushing densely in the Liangshui River seemed to be swept by an iron nail, and a scene of people rushing over and overturning the horse.

The war horses were neighing and smashing into the water with a loud bang. The Goguryeo cavalry on their backs flew high out of the saddle. Then the second row of bowmen standing on the river bank also raised their bows and looked up at the sky, like a black cloud of arrows. They descended from the air, and the Goguryeo cavalry kept screaming and falling to the ground while charging.

The third row of long bows shot rapidly, and dense arrows shot through the iron shield and armor of the Goguryeo cavalry. The Goguryeo cavalry rolled down from their horses, and planted them in the water with heavy iron armor and iron pockets, splashing big splashes.

"In terms of field warfare, we Han people are your ancestors!"

As the arrows were shot, the soldiers of Cangtou Army gritted their teeth, quickly rolled their strings, and shot every revenge arrow at Goguryeo in front of them. Tongdingzhen, Jingguan, and Sashui, these tragic scenes, the unyielding heroic souls of the Han soldiers who died tragically were protecting them. Each of these arrows was revenge for the 300,000 robes of that year.

If it were a normal army, they would have collapsed under the attack of overwhelming arrows, or they would have fled to death. But the Goguryeo people were very brave or angry at Li Chongjiu's attack, and they came one after another. From time to time, Li Chongjiu saw the Goguryeo generals wearing fish scale armor even charged in person. The fish scale armor on their bodies gave them good protection, and almost all shot into hedgehogs, until they struggled to the other river beach, and then they died of blood.

"The last general asks for his order to be the striker." General Wang Mahan came out with his hands crossed.

General Li Chongjiu pointed to the flag of the Goguryeo Central Army and said, "You lead the army to attack the enemy Central Army. If you lose, come and see you!"

"promise!"

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

The powerful and heavy drum sounded throughout the army. When the drum sounded, the drum sounded, and when the drum beat him!

Hearing the drum sound, one thousand iron armored cavalrymen from Wang Mahan went to fight. This was Li Chongji's most elite unit, and he used the best horses, the most elite gentry, and the sharpest weapons to create an iron armored cavalry. Li Chongji now used him to directly attack the Goguryeo central army.

The iron-armored cavalry suddenly rushes into the heart of the Goguryeo people like a mad dragon.

Seeing that the Goguryeo army was in chaos, Li Chongjiu shouted: "The entire army attacked!"

At this time, Etuo, Ying Hefu, suddenly diji, and Cui Xu led nearly 10,000 cavalry to attack Gaimu City from all directions.

The general attack of the Cangtou Army has begun!

The Goguryeo soldiers who were leaving the city were weak on both sides and were attacked by the Sui army at the same time. They were originally charging towards Li Chongjiu's big flag with big strides. But the angry impulse of the chief general made them forget the cover of the flanks.

The grassland cavalrymen drew out their sabers and sticks, like tigers entering the flock of sheep, and like ruthless harvesters, piercing and retracting the spear in their hands. The sharp long sword wiped the armor and slashed the human body, and a ball of blood splashed up, and the sound of the knife entering the flesh sounded puffed.

And Guduo and the weapon with such a blunt and heavy banging sounds with every wave.
