Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 263 The Pioneer Group

The four brothers Luo Cheng lost interest in shopping and returned to the barracks in silence.

Not long after, Luo Yi sent someone to recruit the four brothers.

"How are you going to mess with that bastard when you have nothing to do?"

Poyetou is the original surname of Yuwen's family, and Luo Yi is also very afraid of Poyetou, because Yu Wenhuaji's father, Yuwenshu, has the merits of Conglong who supported the current emperor, and he is the core of Guanlong One of the families, was also the leader of the army who came out of Wuchuan Town.

"This Yu Wenhuaji is usually smiling, but he is the most vicious, greedy and violent. You offended him today, no matter what the reason is, you can't be careless. I don't think you can stay here any longer. Huaiyuan, tomorrow morning you will go north first and act as the vanguard."

At the end, Luo Yi said another sentence, "I think Yu Huaji may really like Xiao Liu. If Xiao Liu really wants to recognize him as a foster father, he will have a bright future ahead."

Luo Cheng rolled his eyes, "We brothers don't like to identify fathers indiscriminately!"

"Hahaha." Luo Yi laughed. Luo Cheng didn't want to inherit the title of Duke of Xiangyang County and the huge family business, and now Luo Shixin didn't want to recognize Yu Wenhuaji, who was famous for a while, as his adoptive father. He was really a brother. .

"Hey, you guys leave tomorrow morning, be careful on your own way, and don't hurry, walk slowly, in short, don't stay here in Huaiyuan, I'll stay here for a while, and when it's done, I'll bring the army north to follow you Convergence. Remember to be careful, this is the border beyond Huaiyuan Town, and on the west bank of the Liao River, there will be many Goguryeo people exploring and riding on horseback."

When the brothers left, Luo Yi also gave them a special batch of crossbows, three hundred crossbows, two hundred crossbows, and one hundred crossbows.

The breaking crossbow has a range of [-] steps, the horse crossbow has a range of [-] steps, and the winch crossbow has a range of [-] steps.

Of course, this range is actually the longest range, but the actual effective range is definitely not that far, and the killing range is definitely much shorter.

But the winch crossbow is still very powerful, which is a heavy long-range weapon.

Even if the range of the crossbow and the horse crossbow are relatively short, if the general enemy charges, they can only shoot twice. After all, the crossbow takes longer than the bow to draw the string, but the advantage of the crossbow is that it does not require long-term training, and even does not require too much training. strength.Another thing is that the most lethal part of the crossbow lies in the random shooting of arrows. If the crossbow soldiers shoot in volley in field formation, there will be no standing soldiers in front of them, and no horizontal formation against them.

For example, a standard field army of the Sui Army has 100 soldiers, of which [-] are equipped with bows and [-] crossbows. [-]%.

The winch crossbow is to carry the crossbow on the ballista, and the crossbow used is like a spear shaft. One crossbow shoots hundreds of steps, and one crossbow pierces several people.

Not only can it be used to shoot the enemy from a long distance, but it can even shoot the crossbow gun into the city wall to provide help for climbing the city.This kind of crossbow carried on a cart uses a winch to load the crossbow. It can hold three to seven crossbow guns at a time and is automatically wound. It can be called an ancient version of automatic weapons.

However, this kind of crossbow is heavy and has a low rate of fire, so it has to be mounted on a special ballista.

Luo Yi gave them a hundred crossbows at a time, which was equivalent to providing a regiment with a hundred self-propelled artillery.

"It seems that going out of Huaihua Town is really dangerous. Otherwise, we wouldn't have pulled out such a big killer to us."

The fourth child touched the ballistas and the crossbows on the carts like touching a beautiful girl.

"Although our infantry regiment is called an infantry regiment, we have one hundred black cavalry, three hundred light cavalry, six hundred cavalry infantry, and one thousand fully equipped infantry. Goguryeo barbarians with open eyes dare to come to us, that's really what we wish for."

In terms of equipment, Goguryeo's wild land is definitely not as good as the Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains.Even if they were good at fishing, hunting, plowing and fighting, riding and shooting, the Sui army's equipment could greatly make up for this deficiency.Not to mention anything else, the Mingguang armor can greatly reduce the arrow riding that these Goguryeo barbarians are proud of. I think that even the Turkic cavalry who crossed the grasslands in the past, their bows would hit a wall in front of the Mingguang armor, let alone the Goguryeo barbarians. up.

Luo Cheng ignored the excitement of the fourth child who was overjoyed at the sight of the battle, since Luo Yi wanted them to leave the city to avoid it, it's better to go early.In front of Yu Wenhua and this top-notch second generation, the Luo Cheng brothers really didn't have the slightest confidence.

A hero does not suffer from immediate losses.

The third child and the fourth child always fantasized about riding the Liaohe River, breaking through Pyongyang, and capturing King Goguryeo alive, but he didn't want to.In this peerless battle, even if they had 2000 troops, they were only a negligible force among them.

If you are not careful, you may become cannon fodder.

He didn't want to make any contributions, he just wanted to protect himself as much as possible, preferably to survive this doomed war, and then bring his brothers back to their hometown in Qi County, all of them.

Do you really think that a small general can change the general trend of history?
A person like Yang Guang, not to mention that he is just a partial general, even if he is a prime minister, probably can't change him.

After finally becoming a partial general, in this million-strong army, at least he has a little self-protection ability. Now that he has got so much equipment, Luo Cheng thought that when he goes back, it would be great if he could bring these equipment back with him .

The first regiment of 2000 people is really nothing in Liaodong, but if it is brought back to Qi County, it will be a very good force.

the next day.

Get up at four o'clock and cook at five o'clock.

It was slightly dawn, Luo Cheng was riding a horse, Kan Leng was holding his general flag at the First Army camp outside Huaiyuan City, and two thousand soldiers from the first regiment filed out of the camp.

Two regiments of [-] civilian men followed behind, driving many chariots and horses, carrying a lot of military equipment, food and grass.

Luo Yi stood on a watchtower in the camp, looking at the departing soldiers and horses from afar.

"Since the general is so fond of Luo Cheng, why did he let them go north alone? The three hundred miles to Wuliluo City are all borders. There are only 2000 people in this area, and I'm afraid it's a tempting piece of fat."

Lao Wang is a veteran who has followed Luo Yi for many years. He is much older than Luo Yi, and his pale hair seems to be talking about the years when he followed the old head of the Luo family to fight in the north and south.

"I don't believe that the Duke really just let them avoid Yu Wenhuaji."

"Don't underestimate that dandy, that person is not an ordinary dandy, many people are deceived by his appearance, in fact..." Luo Yi shook his head, but did not continue.

"General, these sons of Dalang are really amazing, and each of them has a bit of the demeanor of the old county princes." Old Wang said, thinking that Luo Rong was just a farmer in Xiangyang back then, but later Forcibly relying on the sword in his hand, he earned the title of duke of the county and conferred the title of wife and son. If it weren't for Luo Yi's incident back then, in fact, his achievements would have been enough to confer the duke of the country.

"If a carp wants to transform into a dragon, it has to jump over the dragon gate. If it doesn't jump, it will always be a carp, but if it does, it will be a dragon." Luo Yi didn't say what was in his heart, but thought again, If my sons hadn't died young, I'm afraid they would all be this big now.

Among the four tigers of the Luo family, the fifth brother Luo Cheng was his favorite, and he really wanted to accept Luo Cheng as his step-heir, but unfortunately, this kid was a bit stubborn and didn't want to be moved at all.

"Send the order for me, and make preparations. Ten days later, I will lead the army northward on time, and I will lead the first army to capture Wuliluo. Back then, I lost the duke title of our Luo family, and now I want to take it with my own hands." He earned it back."

However, to whom will this title and family business be passed on in the future?
