Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 439

Night fell, and at this time when they were supposed to be resting, Liaodong City was in chaos, with shouts and screams everywhere.

"Oh my god, the Tang people are calling!"

"I heard that the generals were defeated, and the people of Tang Dynasty attacked immediately!"

"Sin, this must be God's punishment!"

And outside Liaodong City, the sound of cannons can be heard endlessly.

"Boom... boom..."

Yu Chigong found that he had fought battles for most of his life, but he had never had such a good time like today. The kind of carefree feeling made him feel that he would be satisfied even if he died immediately.

"Hahahaha, happy, happy!"

While laughing, he lit the matchlock of the cannon that had been loaded with ammunition beside him.

"Boom!"

When the thundering cannon sounded, there was a burst of cheers in the Datang army.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

Today's Datang army can be said to be full of morale, and the huge confidence of the soldiers comes from the cannons and landmines.

In the morning, they saw with their own eyes that their general used this thing called a cannon to blast through the gate of the new city in less than a stick of incense, and then took them with him for less than a stick of incense. In an hour's time, the majestic city was taken down.

Then, it took them less than half a day to rush from Xincheng to Liaodong City, and then severely damaged Quangai Suwen's main force outside Liaodong City.

The soldiers all remember that their general asked them to do one thing at that time, that is, they buried a thing called "Fudo Mingwang" outside Liaodong City, saying that it could deal with the Goguryeo people.

At first, the soldiers didn't quite believe it. In their opinion, these so-called "Fudo Ming-o" were actually just lumps of stone.

But they soon learned that they were wrong.

It was this kind of "stone bumps" that they looked down upon, that wiped out the 20 cavalry that Quan Gai Suwen was so proud of!
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were present at that time could never forget the scene when the Goguryeo cavalry rushed through the formation. They thought it was the most tragic scene they had ever seen in their life.

After the landmine was triggered, the cavalry of Goguryeo were blown away with their horses and men. Some unlucky cavalrymen, after being blown away by the first landmine, triggered the second landmine, and were directly blown into a ball of rotten meat!
Moreover, the roar of the landmines made the Goguryeo war horses completely out of control. They did not listen to the command of their masters, and galloped forward with neighing.

A total of 20 cavalry, after rushing through the "death zone" of less than 800 meters, less than half of them remained.

When these survivors looked back, they immediately found that behind them, apart from the corpses of cavalrymen and war horses, there were only stumps and broken arms left on the ground.

Everyone is very clear that the soldiers who fell on the ground are basically useless. You must know that in this era, once injured on the battlefield, the chance of surviving is almost zero!
They lost more than half of their soldiers and horses without even touching the enemy. The most unacceptable thing for them was that they didn't even know what happened!
The unknown is the most frightening thing. It is for this reason that the morale of Goguryeo soldiers has fallen to the bottom.

An army without morale cannot win a battle. Facing the Tang army waiting in full force, these Goguryeo cavalry were immediately defeated.

The Goguryeo cavalry began to flee, but they didn't know that if they chose the road they charged to retreat, they would be able to return to the city safely, because that road was almost free of mines and was very safe.

It's a pity that they don't know this. For them, it is a "cursed" road, which is covered with the blood of Goguryeo people, so they choose to avoid this blood road.

And the result of doing this is to add a few more of the same "blood path".

20 Goguryeo cavalry came out aggressively, and then fled back in fear. When they returned to the city, there were no more than one out of ten.

Goguryeo's cavalry has left the stage, while Datang's cavalry has just entered the stage and started their performance, and the repertoire they performed is called Killing!
In this era, only cavalry can compete with cavalry. Even if there is a certain gap between light cavalry and heavy cavalry, there is a certain gap in combat effectiveness, not to mention the huge gap between infantry and cavalry.

Therefore, when the cavalry of Tang Dynasty faced the infantry of Goguryeo, Yu Chigong only used one round of charge to divide the more than 30 infantry of Goguryeo into several small pieces, and then began a one-sided massacre.

Facing the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, these Goguryeo soldiers who were divided and surrounded were like a cream cake cut open, and they had no power to resist. At this time, they had only two choices, either die or run, and there was no third choice. options.

More than half of the Koguryo soldiers died, while the remaining small part hid in Liaodong City and never dared to come out again.

Such a result was already within Cheng Yaojin's expectation. After the Goguryeo soldiers retreated, he began to clean the battlefield in a leisurely manner, recovering those landmines that had not been triggered.

This time Gao Ming brought a total of [-] landmines from Chang'an, and nearly [-] were used up in this battle. Although he did achieve huge results, Cheng Yaojin still felt quite distressed.

So, at this moment, he yelled at the soldiers.

"You bastards, show off your tricks to me. Keep an eye on the bottom of your feet. Don't touch the rope that is one foot above the ground. Shout out, someone will fix it. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, General!"

Under Cheng Yaojin's order, the soldiers started to move, and after a while, their roars came from everywhere.

"Here is a rope one foot above the ground!"

"I have it here too!"

"And I'm here!"

After hearing their roar, some specially trained soldiers ran over immediately, first cut the rope with a knife, then dug out the mine, and finally untied the rope tied to the trigger of the mine.

Several soldiers picked up a box and followed them, and put the mines they had processed into the box, waiting for the next use.

It took Cheng Yaojin almost an afternoon to recover the thousands of landmines, and then put them into his luggage cart as treasures.

When Cheng Yaojin led the soldiers to clean the battlefield, Yu Chigong was not idle either.

He came to the gate of Liaodong City with an army of 50, but he did not order the soldiers to attack the city. Instead, he took out the fifty cannons that Cheng Yaojin had asked for from Gao Ming, and set them outside Liaodong City. lined up.

Standing more than 500 meters away from Liaodong City, Yu Chigong held a torch in one hand and put his other hand on his hips, laughing wildly up to the sky.

"Hahahaha, fire! Fire me quickly! Let Quan Gai Suwen know that I'm not easy to mess with, hahahaha..."
