Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 360

Mai Tiezhang died in battle on the east bank.

Facing thousands of troops and horses, he jumped up to the east bank without any fear, and stood there to encourage the countless soldiers behind him.Although he died under thousands of arrows, he also inspired Sui soldiers one after another to jump to the east bank.

No one backs down.

Maybe he doesn't go, maybe other people will hesitate, maybe today's crossing the river will die prematurely.

But now, more and more Sui troops rushed to the east bank.

On the other side, craftsmen and peasants began to erect the fourth, fifth, and sixth pontoon bridges in the Liaohe River.

"Fire arrows!"

east coast.

Backs to the pontoon.

Behind is the Taotao Liaohe River, and there is no way to retreat.

The Sui soldiers crossing the river formed formation quickly.

The big shield spears are in front, and the spears are pointing diagonally forward. They form a formation of 50 people, with the crossbowmen in the middle and the spear shield soldiers outside.

Facing the galloping Goguryeo Qingqi, they gritted their teeth and shot arrows.

Every now and then someone falls.

But no one flinched.

More Sui troops rushed over on the pontoon bridge. Every time a Sui soldier crossed the river, the Sui army became stronger.

A small army formation of 50 people slowly expanded into a formation of hundreds of people.

Then several small formations were combined into formations of hundreds of people.

Finally they unite and move forward.

There are more and more long spears in Lin Li.

The shield wall is also getting stronger.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes.

"Heavy cavalry, Goguryeo's armored cavalry is here."

someone shouted.

But no one backed down.

The Goguryeo people dispatched heavy cavalry. Although their light cavalry relied on their fast horses and sharp arrows, they wandered on the edge of the Sui army's infantry, mercilessly harvesting the lives of the Sui army, but when they fell down, someone immediately replaced them. The army desperately protected the landing point on the east bank of the three pontoon bridges, and the number of them was increasing.

The Goguryeo people are in a hurry.

They dispatched heavy cavalry.

Several rows of heavily armored cavalry, both men and horses, rushed over fiercely.

A government soldier stabbed the spear in his hand into the ground fiercely, and then embraced the spear with half of his body. The shield soldier squatted on the ground directly, and put most of his body behind the shield.

"kill!"

Earthquakes.

The power of the iron cavalry charging can make people's hearts jump out of shock. Facing the heavy cavalry surrounded by iron armor, the pawns appear very fragile and small.

But still no one retreated.

boom.

Heaven and earth collide.

The government soldiers only felt that the sky was collapsing, and their ears were filled with the huge vibration. The heavy cavalry finally hit it, and the huge impact directly broke the spear and flew the shield.

The army formation was knocked open, and the infantry was trampled by iron hooves.

"die!"

A government soldier with a broken spear drew out a horizontal knife and stabbed a heavy cavalry desperately.

But the sharp horizontal knife failed to pierce the heavy armor.

The knife is broken, and the person dies.

Another mansion soldier shouted with a red face and raised his spear to stab him.

A mansion soldier slashed at the cavalry's horse's hoof with a knife.

Although the whole body is heavily armored, the four hooves of the war horse are still without armor.

The hoof was broken with a knife, and the heavy rider fell to the ground.

The thousand-jin heavy men and horses fell down, and the huge momentum still knocked down several government soldiers and charged forward a few feet away.

One army formation after another was broken by the heavy cavalry of Goguryeo. Although the heavy cavalry of the Goguryeo people was obviously not as well equipped as the heavy cavalry of the Sui army, they were still heavy cavalry after all.

from a distance.

The Sui army formations on the east bank were smashed one after another, and the heavy cavalry continued to castrate.

Several heavy riders finally rushed to the shore bridge.

There, Mai Tieshang still stands proudly.

Goguryeo's heavy cavalry ran directly over, and several government soldiers shouted, "Protect the general!"

They knew that Mai Tiezhang was killed in battle, but they still did not allow the Goguryeo people to desecrate the general's body.

With a swing of an iron hammer, the mansion soldier was directly knocked into the air, fell to the ground, and died.

But immediately, some people rushed up bravely, and they vowed to protect Mai Tiezhang's body to the death.

Knock.

run down.

pierce.

In front of heavy cavalry with armor all over their bodies, a single government soldier is no match at all.

A team of Goguryeo light cavalry rushed to him, and they took the opportunity to fly ropes to trap Mai Tiezhang, and then dragged his body away.

The soldiers of the Sui Army looked at it with tears in their eyes.

"Take back the general!"

Countless people shouted, and then rushed towards the Goguryeo people without hesitation.

At this moment, the entire Sui army on the east bank battlefield seemed to be working hard again. They were crazy, slashing with knives and stabbing with spears desperately, instead of retreating, they were rushing forward.

The Goguryeo people thought they could overwhelm the Sui army's east bank guards in one fell swoop, drive them down the river, and then burn the pontoon bridge to repel the Sui army's crossing river.

But the Sui army was not defeated, and no one turned around and jumped into the river.

Facing the powerful Goguryeo cavalry, they would rather die than retreat.

Goguryeo's heavy cavalry could not move forward, and there was nowhere to charge. In front of them was the rolling Liaohe River.

The heavy cavalry who lost their impact failed to drive the Sui army into the river, but fell into the frenzied siege of the Sui army.

A heavy cavalry that can't charge is not even as good as a heavy infantry.

The Sui army bit them frantically, stabbed with knives and spears, cut off horseshoes, and grabbed helmets, and the Goguryeo heavy cavalry fell into despair.

Goguryeo Qingqi was charging desperately, but no matter how they charged, the Sui army would not retreat.

On the bridge, the Sui army was still pouring in continuously. They did not hesitate or flinch.

General Yang Yichen of the Seventh Right Army also led his elite Qingqi to the east bank.

Even Pei Shiju, the newly appointed general of the Fifth Right Army, rushed to the east bank with his armor on and a horizontal knife in his hand.

More and more Sui troops went ashore, and soon, the first light cavalry gathered.

Yang Yichen raised his horse and led his army to launch a countercharge.

Fighting together from morning to dusk, a day of bloody battles.

The Sui army has built seven pontoon bridges successively, and the number of soldiers and horses crossing the river has reached [-] to [-].

The Goguryeo people finally couldn't stand it anymore.

Although they came to fight all over the city and came with [-] cavalry, the Sui army first had the brave performance of Mai Tiezhang, and then the emperor personally supervised the battle on the battlefield. This momentum is incomparable to the Goguryeo people.

Several pontoon bridges were almost completed, and more Sui troops set foot on the battlefield on the east bank.

The Goguryeo people suffered heavy casualties, but they did not have the determination and courage of the Sui army to fight to the end.

When they saw that they could no longer stop the Sui army from crossing the river, they finally sounded the horn to retreat.

When the horn sounded, the entire Goguryeo army retreated.

They didn't want to stay for a moment, and ran away crazily.

"kill!"

Yang Yichen was covered in blood, and even changed three horses. Seeing that the Goguryeo army was retreating, he had no intention of letting go, and led his subordinates to catch up.

Countless Sui troops also chased after him screaming.

In today's battle, the blood debt must be paid in blood!
The Goguryeo army fled in embarrassment, and the Sui army pursued them like fierce tigers.

He chased and killed him for dozens of miles, until he reached the city of Jiancheng in Liaodong.

The Goguryeo people fled into Liaodong City, and Yang Yichen ordered to stop the pursuit!

Emperor Yang Guang finally set foot on the land on the east bank of the Liao River. The land under his feet was completely stained with blood.

"Your Majesty, our army has won a great victory. More than [-] people from Goguryeo were killed and more than [-] were captured."

Yang Guang couldn't be happy, "Where is Mai Tiezhang, has his body been found?"

"Return to Your Majesty, but I haven't found it yet. It is said that it was brought back to Liaodong City by the Goguryeo people."

"Send someone to get it back and tell the Goguryeo people that even if it is a thousand taels of gold, I will redeem it."

General of the Ministry of War, General Zuo Houwei, General Duan Wenzheng, General of the Fifth Right Army, just died, and the General of Zuo Tunwei, General Zuo Qi, died in battle again. Two generals were lost in a row, and Yang Guang was heartbroken.

This is his confidant general.

"Damn Goguryeo, kill all three thousand captives!"

Originally, all armies had set up envoys to accept surrender, and Yang Guang, who had always said that he would treat the prisoners preferentially, was also annoyed.
