The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 254 Raging

In the early morning of the next day, the vast mountains were surrounded by a vast white morning light, and Yuan Tae-jo and Eulji Moon-deok were preparing to send troops!
Yuan Taizuo said solemnly: "The Sui army has now taken advantage of the strong city. Although the cold water can't hurt anyone, it is more terrifying than bows and arrows, rolling logs, and stones. Once we are broken up into pieces, we can't do anything." Effectively attacking the city, there are more than 11 Sui troops in Nanfuyu City (Danfeng City). Now I don’t know how many reinforcements have come. Although we are waiting for [-] people, it is not a lot, but if the attack continues, even if Nanfuyu City is regained, it will be difficult. The loss is bound to be heavy, if the Sui army sends reinforcements again, what should we do?"

"Master Molizhi said it is true. It seems impossible to storm Nambuyu City. It seems that we can only outwit it." Ulji Mundeok is nearly fifty years old, his hair is gray, and his face is full of signs of time, but His spirit is very good, his waist is straight, and he is not inferior to Pai Taizuo who is in his early forties in terms of energy.

Yuan Taizuo focused his eyes, "How to outwit it?"

"Although we have temporarily lost Liaodong, this area has always been the heartland of my Goguryeo. In terms of familiarity with the terrain, the Sui army is far inferior to us! Although the Sui army has reinforcements, it consumes a lot of food every day. As long as our army overturns Fenghuang Mountain cuts off the Sui army's supply route, no matter how many troops there are, they will not be able to break through." Ulji Wendeok said confidently.

"I've thought about it too, but we all know that the Sui army is stationed in all the big and small cities. If we conquer them one by one, how long will it take? Moreover, there are no less than 10 Sui troops we are facing. Thousands of horses, can this grain road be cut off?"

"Master Mo Lizhi, don't worry. I was also worried about this at first, but when I think about it carefully, the Sui army has been fighting against the Turks and needs to defend a long border line. Moreover, their internal unequal situation requires division of troops to defend. Sui army There is no way to send much troops now, otherwise, Zuo Tiancheng would not defend the city, but directly fight us directly."

"Report!"

At this moment, a long-drawn voice sounded from the city tower of the quiet city of Han, and a Goguryeo soldier rushed in, saluting: "Report to Mo Lizhi, Brother Tai, [-] infantry soldiers of the Sui army will come out!" Southern Fuyu City (Danfeng City) is heading north."

"Going north?" Yuan Taizuo frowned slightly.

"Could it be the domestic city?" Ulji Wende asked vigilantly.

Yuan Taejo's face changed, and suddenly he laughed excitedly again: "The domestic city was the capital of my Koguryo more than 100 years ago, and now it is one of the three political and cultural capitals. Even after moving the capital to Pyongyang City, the status has no It has fallen, but it is also one of my accompanying capitals in Goguryeo. How can it be so easy to win? It is ridiculous, [-] infantry want to capture the inner city? It is wishful thinking."

Ulchi Wende frowned and said: "Lord Mo Lizhi, that may not be impossible! It is really difficult to conquer a city when you are prepared, but it is not difficult to conquer a city if you are completely unprepared. Don't Forget, Liaodong was lost by our carelessness."

After Yuan Taizuo frowned, he finally couldn't help sneering: "A mere [-] infantry dare to go out of the city to fight, the Sui army is so courageous!"

Eulji Moondeok shook his head and sighed, "Underestimate the enemy—it's the Sui army's habit of dying without repentance."

"Hmph! Then let them taste the consequences of underestimating the enemy!" Yuan Tae-jo glanced at Ulji Moon-deok and said, "Brother, please sit in the city of Han and wait for me to gather [-] troops to wipe them out outside the city. "

"Beware of cheating!" Ulji Wende reminded.

"No problem!" Yuan Taizuo waved his hand and led a group of nephews and nephews to rush down the city tower. Following his order, the [-] army covered the sun with banners, swords and guns like a forest, cruising towards the north of the Yalu River like a black dragon, chilling and killing The air filled the sky.

After chasing for ten miles, he was shocked to find that the Sui army was waiting in full battle.

The place they chose was an open area, which was conducive to the battle between the two armies. Yuan Taizuo began to regroup the army one mile away from the two sides' meeting. Only then did the land stop, and asked loudly: "My general sent me to ask, do you need to rest? We can wait for you to rest, and it will not be too late to launch an attack."

"Haha! Arrogance!" Yuan Taizuo hadn't spoken yet, a group of Yuan's children were already blown up, and the Sui army clearly looked down on them.

"Then tell your general that we will go to war after a stick of incense." Yuan Taizuo smiled coldly, he would be an idiot if he didn't take advantage of it.

Hehe, underestimating the enemy and being arrogant is really a tradition of the Sui Army.

"After a stick of incense! Wait to die." The knight responded, turned his horse's head and galloped away.

"Too much deceit, don't leave!" Yuan Gai Suwen's face was ashen, he took off his bow and arrow and wanted to shoot this lunatic to death.

"Don't fall for their aggressive tactics!" Yuan Taizuo took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the evil fire in his chest, and said in a cold voice: "Order all the troops to form an array and prepare to attack!"

After hearing the words, the Goguryeo soldiers were gearing up one by one, ready to show the Sui army a serious look.

The time for a stick of incense passed quickly, and the [-] Goguryeo army assembled into seven square formations and began to march towards the Sui army.

"Your Highness, these idiots are here!" Yang Tong's middle army, a soldier conveyed the message with a semaphore: "The seven phalanxes seem to be encircling our army."

"Encirclement?" Yang Tong showed a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "The big shield soldiers form formation!"

"Here!"

Following Yang Tong's order, a series of flags were played, and a row of soldiers holding large shields walked out from the Sui army. These soldiers had no other weapons, only a rectangular shield taller than a person in their hands. They lined up in front of the formation, and behind the shield formation, a row of soldiers with strong bows and crossbows hid behind the shield soldiers. The Goguryeo soldiers could not see the situation behind the shield at all.

"This is?" Yuan Taizuo was surprised by the huge shield!
"It should be the Central Plains New Shield... right!"

Others have seen shields that are so exaggeratedly large. Those shields are joined together, like a wall of copper and iron, no different from the walls of a small city.

"shooting!"

Yuan Taizuo waved his hand, and a row of crossbowmen quickly stepped forward to shoot at the shield array.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The rain of arrows hit the shield wall and was directly bounced off. The large shield was covered with a layer of cowhide and a layer of iron. Ordinary bows and arrows could not break through the shield at all.

"Advance!!"

Following Yang Tong's order, the shield array was like a moving forward city wall, slowly pressing down on the Goguryeo army.

Yuan Taizuo also ordered: "Shoot!"

The rain of arrows pierced the sky, like raindrops, covering the shield formation in front, and falling with a sharp roar!

Yang Tong shouted: "Yu!"

The soldiers in the back row of the shield array uniformly tilted their shields slightly.

The arrows fell on the shield like raindrops, hitting a series of sounds.

The first wave was barely blocked, and soon the second wave of arrow rain came again.

After four or five rounds, the Goguryeo army's arrow rain barely stopped, and the Sui army had almost no damage except for a limited number of unlucky ghosts.

The Goguryeo army just looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Throw!"

Following Yang Tong's order, a group of crossbowmen quickly came out, and they quickly divided into six rows, and came to a distance behind the shield formation. These two people had a strong crossbow, each with two bowstrings , there are two pulleys on one of the bow strings, even so, to use this kind of strong crossbow, two people are still needed to use it, one is in charge of calibration, and the other is in charge of drawing the bow. As for the range, it can reach more than 600 steps, which is quite Yu Qin's crossbow has the longest range.

This new type of crossbow is also the work of Kaitianyuan, but it is only the first time it has been shown in front of the world. As for the pulley, it is Yang Tong's initiative
"Prepare!"

"crunch~"

With a series of dull sounds, the soldiers pulled the bowstring with all their strength and buckled it on the bracket. Another soldier quickly put a five-foot-long arrow on the bowstring. This new type of crossbow has a long bow, But quite exhausting.

"Let go!" Following the order of the commander, under the horrified gazes of Yuan Taizuo and the others, five thousand five-foot-long sharp arrows passed over the heads of the crossbowmen in the front row and landed in the middle of the square formation. , A puff of blood mist accompanied by screams, the entire phalanx was scattered in just one round of salvo.

"put!"

There were muffled sounds in the air. It was the sound of bowstrings snapping and rebounding, echoing like thunder behind the clouds.Then countless big arrows flew out like locusts, heading towards another phalanx!

The sudden rain of arrows stunned the Goguryeo army. The five-foot-long arrows, not to mention the leather armor of ordinary soldiers, even the shields directly penetrated.

Before Yuan Taizuo had time to react, he saw rows of soldiers holding hand crossbows on the shield wall, and the crossbows were erected on the shield wall, shooting at the Goguryeo army.This wave is a five-shot crossbow.

The arrow rain poured down, and the rain stopped after two or three rounds. Many corpses were nailed to the ground by the arrow rain. Fear, despair, unwillingness and incomprehension still remained in the empty eyes. .

"Raise the shield to defend!" Yuan Taizuo was also a man who had experienced battles, and he was not beaten like those soldiers, so he quickly ordered.

There are many shields with round shields, but this time the crossbow arrows are not dense, but they have a terrifying penetrating power. Although the arrows are not as long as the five-foot-long arrows before, they are also two feet long. An arrow directly pierced through the wooden shield, nailing the shield's hand to the ground, and some arrows passing through the gap pierced the soldier's chest, and the blood flew, and then shot through the second person with unabated strength.

"Retreat! Disperse and retreat!" Seeing rows of crossbowmen under the opponent's strong bows, with no chance to resist, Yuan Taizuo could only command the crossbowmen to retreat, hoping to get out of range.

"Buzz!"

Another wave of arrows flew into the sky, this time directly sweeping towards Yuan Taizuo's Chinese army, with a range of more than 600 steps!Yuan Taizuo's face turned green immediately, and he crawled to the ground without saying a word, roaring: "Climb down!"

"Puff puff!"

The bowstring sounded again, and countless Goguryeo soldiers fell to the ground in pieces.

A few rounds of arrow rain came, and a blare of dysprosium resounded mournfully in the sky.

"Boom!"

The ground suddenly trembled violently, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from both the north and the south. The scattered Goguryeo army was unconsciously attracted to the sight, but saw two cavalry overwhelmingly galloping towards this side.

The cavalry of the Sui army was in full swing, with long spears and steel knives waving, they charged left and right among the Goguryeo rebellious army.The whole place is like hell on earth, it's horrible.

When the Sui army was raging Goguryeo soldiers, another battlefield was also in full swing.
