Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 1048
Chapter [-]

The crossbowman of the Anxi Army buckled down the machine bracket forcefully, and with a burst of metal trilling, the air trembled, and a row of crossbow arrows turned into cold stars and shot out in a burst of wind!

After shooting, the crossbowman in the front row passed the crossbow to the back, took the crossbow handed over by the archers in the second row, glanced briefly, and pulled the trigger again... and the crossbowmen in the third row, At this time, fill the second row of the crossbow machine with crossbow arrows, and wind it hard.

Although Datang does not have muskets now, it does not prevent Chen Ying from adopting the crossbow version of the three-stage attack.

The biggest advantage of the three-stage strike is that it can maintain the continuity of firepower coverage, especially when the crossbow is wound up. Although it is very labor-intensive, an ordinary crossbowman firing a pot of crossbow bolts continuously will consume almost as much power.

But the three-stage strike is different. It only consumes the physical strength of the soldiers on the string, and this physical strength can be compensated by entering the army or the heavy soldiers.

When the sound of "咻咻咻" pierced through the air, Yuan Gai Suwen realized that something was wrong.Immediately afterwards, the muffled sound of crossbow arrows piercing the flesh came one after another, and blood stars splashed on the bodies of several rows of Goguryeo soldiers in front.

Those soldiers who were shot by the arrows screamed, hissed, twitched, and fell down!Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't help being shocked, Tang Jun's crossbow lethality is so terrifying?
Especially the generals under Yuan Gai Suwen's command, many of them had survived three wars with the Sui Dynasty. They had already seen the Sui Army's crossbow machine shooting, even though they had suffered such a big loss.

These experienced veterans immediately roared to the surrounding soldiers: "hold the shield, charge up!"

Ballistas are more powerful than bows and arrows, and have a longer range, but there is a fatal disadvantage that cannot be made up, and that is the rate of fire.An excellent archer can shoot a pot of arrows to nothing within ten breaths, but the crossbow only takes three or four shots.

That's what I mean by saying that I can't stand Miya before the battle.

As the saying goes, old experience kills people.

Just when the Goguryeo soldiers attacked the Tang army formation, the second round of crossbow arrows came one after another. Coming from nothing, Goguryeo's armor is like paper in front of it, the leather armor is pierced, the iron armor is cracked, an arrow pierces the chest, and the one in the middle will fall!
Goguryeo's light cavalry began to attack the Tang army's crossbow array in a roundabout way. However, the Tang army's crossbow array immediately adjusted its firing target, and more crossbow arrows rushed towards the horses. I don't know how many war horses were hit by the vicious crossbow arrows. Most of the arrows are usually nailed into the body of the horse. The high-speed galloping horses hissed and fell down, slamming the owner to the ground. ...

In the Tang army's formation, Chen Ying, who had long been accustomed to crushing opponents with equipment, had a very indifferent expression.

He waved his finger and pointed at the Goguryeo soldiers who were shot one after another and said with a smile: "Dalang, did you see that? Don't get confused when you meet the enemy. The equipment of our Tang army occupies an absolute advantage. The enemy will definitely be completely defeated. Even if the enemy has three or four times the strength advantage, don't panic, people are not machines, people are afraid of death, as long as they kill one-third of the enemy, they will naturally collapse!"

As if to verify Chen Ying's words, the few light cavalry in the Goguryeo army dropped nearly a thousand corpses and retreated slowly.And those infantry formed a shield formation and attacked slowly.

The distance between the two sides was even closer, less than a hundred steps.

However, at this time the sound of horseshoes sounded.

Tang army cavalry in black and black armor slowly appeared on the horizon. These cavalry walked slowly, as if the war in front of them had nothing to do with them.

And these infantrymen were also happy that the cavalry would not compete with them for heads. They even gave up the three-stage attack.

Even if it was fifty steps away, you could almost see the heavy breathing of the Goguryeo soldiers.But they still haven't launched.

At this moment, with a loud shout, the last horizontal knife and shield player untied a thing that looked like a meteor hammer from his waist.They swung the meteor hammer behind them.

The crossbowman in the front row cursed secretly, while picking up a white, almost transparent cloth and covering his face.At the same time, the meteor hammer roared, jumped over the crossbowmen in the front row, and fell into the shield array of the Goguryeo people.

"Blah blah blah..."

"Crackling..."

There was a sound of broken porcelain, and a large cloud of white smoke rose in the Goguryeo formation.This white smoke is not poison, but quicklime, which is more powerful than poison. Countless Goguryeo soldiers covered their eyes and screamed.

Those Goguryeo soldiers with shields dropped their shields on the ground in unison. Of course, the formation of Goguryeo people was also in chaos.At this time, the two sides were almost face to face, but at a position of more than twenty steps, three rows of crossbowmen shot the crossbow machine in their hands without hesitation.

At such a short distance, the power of the crossbow is even more terrifying.The Goguryeo people fell down, and the crossbowmen in the front row didn't care about the outcome of the battle at all. They scattered left and right, and the soldiers of the Tang army, armed with horizontal knives or spears, descended like a mountain and rushed towards the Goguryeo formation.

The horizontal knife flew up and down, limbs and arms were broken, and blood flowed like rivers.

Fortunately, Yuan Gai Suwen saw the opportunity early, he covered his eyes with his hands in advance, but he was still choked to tears and snot, he cursed hysterically: "Despicable, shameless, obscene!"

There are quite a few Goguryeo people who can speak Tang dialect, and the cursing from the other side soon spread to Chen Ying's ears.

Chen Yingwen said with a slight smile: "Da Lang, look, these Goguryeo people will definitely not last for a quarter of an hour!"

For a quarter of an hour, it was Chen Ying who said a lot. After only two sticks of incense, the Goguryeo people stopped cooking.

Gao Jianwu, who was standing on the top of Pyongyang City, watched this scene, his face pale with fright.

[-] Goguryeo soldiers fought against more than [-] Tang soldiers. It is said that the victory should belong to Goguryeo.

It's just that in just over half an hour, the Goguryeo people lost three or four thousand corpses and retreated in embarrassment.The surviving more than [-] Goguryeo soldiers ran in front, and the Tang army soldiers in the back chased after them.

"This is an illusion, a fake." Gao Jianwu couldn't accept this result.

Goguryeo's self-confidence in the face of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was the accumulation of huge victories one after another. The bones of millions of soldiers of the Sui Dynasty created the strong self-confidence of the Goguryeo people.

However, at this moment, their self-confidence was shattered when they met Chen Ying.

The fist of the big opponent Lu Yuan Taizuo hit the female wall heavily: "Your Majesty, quickly send troops to rescue them!"

Gao Jianwu's cavalrymen of the Tang Army, who were waiting in full force, said timidly, "No, the Tang people have already prepared for it!"

Yuan Taizuo spat out a mouthful of old blood.

It's not that he couldn't see it, but Yuan Gai Suwen was the only son he valued.

Gao Jianwu said coldly: "Now there is only one way, let them save themselves!"

Seeing the soldiers of the Tang army rushing forward, the Goguryeo soldiers retreated steadily.

Yuan Gai Su Wen's head was still like a paste: "What should I do?"

The best way is to retreat first, regroup, and attack again.

But after seeing Tang Jun's terrifying crossbow formation and horizontal knife formation, Yuan Gai Suwen didn't think it was a good idea. Regrouping to charge means that the Goguryeo people will suffer another round of mass destruction from the crossbow, and they have to fight again. Throwing down thousands of human lives, even if you can win, you will suffer heavy losses.

The young Yuan Gai Suwen made a decisive decision and yelled, "Swordsmen go to the battle!"

Armored swordsman is a kind of heavy infantry formed by the Goguryeo people after learning from the Yan State of the Xianbei Murong Department during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.Because heavy cavalry requires excellent war horses, and the Xianbei horses in Liaodong are not good horses.

Therefore, based on the armored cavalry of Yan State, Goguryeo developed the heavy infantry with Goguryeo characteristics.

Their equipment is a two-handed broadsword, a long sword with a length of six feet, which is unparalleled in power.

Of course, it is too far from Mo Dao.

However, heavy infantry against light infantry is like a heavyweight boxing champion against a lightweight boxing champion.
