Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 466

Wang Ming's mission in Goguryeo was completed smoothly, however, good luck will not always be with him.

He couldn't imagine how a team of hundreds of people would have the courage to attack an army of 10,000+ people, but when the Goguryeo soldiers escorting supplies and evacuation saw them, their legs would tremble , retreating unconsciously.

Seeing the pitch-black armor, they seemed to have seen a nightmare. This nightmare has haunted them for more than a month, killing at least tens of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers.

Therefore, after a scene of blood and bones splattering, Wang Ming was successfully hijacked, including some defenders around him, and all of them fell into the hands of these iron-clad warriors.

However, when the Goguryeo army formed a formation and surrounded them, they had already begun to retreat into the mountains and forests.

Wang Ming was very important to Yuan Gai Suwen, the general in charge of the evacuation did not dare to let him make a mistake, so he must be pursued.

However, it is inevitable for them to step into the Tang army's ambush circle again. Ordinary people can't imagine what it would be like for 3000 people holding continuous crossbows to pull the trigger and shoot uninterruptedly. However, the Goguryeo people have become accustomed to it, that is , Those who hit the front will be shot like hedgehogs, and those who die cannot die again.

Therefore, as long as these soldiers didn't want to commit suicide, they didn't dare to continue to charge forward. Therefore, Zhao Long and others successfully played a robbery game among the 10,000+ army, and then retreated safely.

"Are you a Han Chinese?"

When Wang Ming was brought in front of Zhang Gongjin by Zhao Long and others, he was still in a state of complete bewilderment and did not recover.

"Uh, my lord, Wang Ming, is Datang who was doing business in Goguryeo..."

"I don't care what you do, I will tell you the situation in Yanjin City quickly, otherwise, every time I have a cup of tea, I will cut off one of your fingers until you die."

The word "cut you to death" successfully appeared in the northeast land more than 1000 years ago, and the effect was very good. Wang Ming explained the situation of Yanjin City without taking a cup of tea. This shocking plan is the truth of Wang Hao's single-handed design.

The fire plan is a method Wang Hao came up with to completely anger Li Shimin. He believes that if Li Shimin sees tens of thousands of Tang soldiers being burned alive in front of his eyes, he will lose his mind. If you don't kill all the Goguryeo people, you will definitely not give up.

Even someone like Zhang Gongjin, who was used to the tragic scenes of fighting on the battlefield, just made up the scene described by Wang Ming, and couldn't help shivering.

"Yuan Gai Suwen used the lives of 10,000+ soldiers as bait to lure the Tang army into the city. Why do I not believe it?"

Zhang Gongjin almost gritted her teeth and questioned Wang Ming.

"Among the 10,000+ soldiers, there can be tens of thousands of real Goguryeo people! Haven't you seen the real Goguryeo people who have already escorted food and supplies and started to evacuate?
In fact, the leaders of Silla, Baekje, Wa, and other tribes have already been controlled by Yuangai Suwen. The army that will go out of the city to fight against the Tang army today will be mainly soldiers from these countries. At the same time, the Tang army buried all the power of these countries. In this way, after the Tang army retreated, Yuangai Suwen could turn around and eat Silla, Baekje and other countries to strengthen his own strength. "

The reason why Wang Ming explained the problem so thoroughly is because he felt that these three or 4000 people would not be able to change the general situation in front of him, even if Yuan Gai Suwen sent a 10,000+ army to escort him to retreat with the food, grass, gold and silver that he had collected from Yanjin City in the past few days By the way, there are still more than 50 troops in the city!These people can still survive hiding in the woods, but if they touch the city wall built between the two mountains, it is a dead end.

"Yuan Gai Suwen is really a ruthless person. Say, what can we do now to solve this situation?"

"Uh, Plan Yuangai Suwen has already made arrangements. If you have a way to inform the Tang army outside the north city gate and let them not enter the city, maybe it can be saved. I really can't think of other ways."

Hearing this, Zhang Gongjin's complexion turned dark. Hearing the sound of drums in the city, a fight was about to start at the north gate of the city. However, his thousands of people wanted to pass through Yanjin City, which was still guarded by more than 50 troops. , It is almost impossible, and the left and right sides of Yanjin City are cliffs, and it is impossible to climb up. If you go around, it may take two or three days. At that time, the war may have ended long ago. This round, It's really hard to understand.

Outside the north gate of Yanjin, the gate was wide open, and the soldiers in the city poured out of the city like a tide. Only tens of steps away, at least tens of thousands of people gathered.

"The Goguryeo people really want to use crowd tactics, pass orders, ride heavily on the phalanx with armor on, wait for the enemy to approach eighty paces, and start to attack."

On the messenger platform, Su Dingfang watched the scene at the gate of the city with binoculars. If you are a person with intensive phobia, you will be frightened by the current scene. The scene of 10,000+ people rushing out is really terrifying.

The position of the Tang army was about [-] steps away from the gate of the city. Su Dingfang's order was to disperse the Goguryeo coalition forces as much as possible, so that when the heavy cavalry charged, there would be room to go.

"Brush brush~"

The jet-black visors were pulled off the helmets by the soldiers. At this time, they could only watch the scene on the battlefield through the eyeholes of the steel mesh. Such a design made the enemy's bows and arrows want to shoot their eye sockets, and it was difficult for them. It is impossible to change, it can be said that the defense has been achieved to the extreme.

Yuan Gai Suwen's trump card troop is [-] cavalry. It is impossible for him to use his most elite troop to fight a tough battle. Therefore, the people who rushed out are all infantry armed with long weapons. Such a torrent of impact, like before in Pyongyang City, would overwhelm Gao De's army at once. However, they underestimated the strength of Tang's regular army.

The heavy cavalry must have a distance of more than eighty steps to allow the horses to run faster. After visually checking that they are almost in position, Xue Li, who is in charge of the charge, swung his halberd, and the five thousand armored heavy cavalry came He and his lieutenant Cheng Mingzhen led an attack on the flow of people.

"Boom..."

The horses and the crowd collided together like two torrents. Under the leadership of Xue Li, the knights in the front row just swung their spears and opened the spears of the Goguryeo coalition army, and the horses immediately knocked the people charging in the front row back into the air. .

The infantry spear team, without a tight formation, kept stabbing forward and backward in a rhythmic manner. When facing the armored cavalry, it was almost like sending them to death.

This scene made Li Shimin, who was watching the battle scene with a telescope on the commander's platform, think of the scene of Quyuanli plowing the land. Every row of heavy cavalry is like a plowshare, plowed by the crowd of the Goguryeo Allied Army , They suddenly became like broken earth.

Seeing this scene under the city wall, even Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't help trembling his fingers.

No wonder Tang Jun dared to fight head-on with his army of more than 10 with only 70 troops. It turned out that they had such strength.

But, this is five thousand heavy armored cavalry!

Could it be that Li Shimin sent out his most elite flying cavalry from the very beginning?
Before Yuan Gai Su Wen had time to calculate in his mind how much Li Tang would spend to build so many steel armors, he saw an even more terrifying scene.

Thousands of chariots of the Tang army started to launch, and the rain of arrows and stone bullets forcibly suppressed the spread of the Goguryeo coalition forces, disintegrating his strategic intention to directly attack Li Shimin's commander-in-chief by using human sea tactics.

Then, he saw the Tang army's infantry enter the battle.There were less than 2 people, and they were still in full-body iron armor. Even in the case of heavy armor defense, they each held a heavy shield in their hands.

Therefore, on the top of the city, the rain of arrows thrown down by the Goguryeo coalition forces indiscriminately was only the tinkling sound of their armor and heavy shields, which hardly caused any damage to the Tang army. In each hand, he held a jet-black saber, only the sharp edge was so bright.

This kind of sword can easily penetrate the body of the Goguryeo coalition army, or cut off their heads. If the heavy cavalry just smashed the coalition army to pieces, then these infantry soldiers are completely reaping the lives of the coalition soldiers.

The closer you get to the city wall, the more people gather. Even if Xue Li's arm strength is super strong and he can knock out all the weapons barreled towards him, the horses can no longer squeeze forward, and the horses that cannot move will be lost on the battlefield. However, heavy cavalry surrounded by crowd tactics is very dangerous. Even if their armor can defend against most attacks, they are still easily injured by heavy weapons and die.

At this moment, he blew the whistle that Xue Li had held in his mouth when he was on the upper armor. With the halberd flying, he picked up many Goguryeo soldiers who surrounded him, and killed a looser line to the left. After hearing the whistle, the team behind him and many heavy cavalry also followed him to the left flank.

Cheng Mingzhen, another major general of the vanguard army, blazed a trail to the right wing and led a group of people to evacuate to the main formation.

"Change horses and count the number of people."

After Su Dingfang gave an order, Yuan Gai Su Wen, who saw the situation on the side of the Tang army, knew how rich the Tang army was. , In the opposite Tang army camp, [-] heavy cavalry can be armed at any time. This is really news that makes him spurt blood, but it also strengthens his plan to keep all Tang troops in Yanjin City.

"Report to the general, this time, the heavy cavalry team, 140 seven people were killed, 180 nine people were seriously injured, and 350 eight people were slightly injured. The rest can fight again."

"Replenish the team, make up the number of casualties, and rearrange."

Five thousand cavalry hit a team of more than 15 people, but there were only more than 100 people. This is very lucky. After all, there are many accidents in such a large-scale charge. Many soldiers were killed by the enemy because of their horses. The dead body tripped, the body was crushed under the horse, and was trampled to death. After all, this was a life-and-death battle.

Soon, 100 cavalrymen lined up in front of the battalion again. This time they charged, they killed more than [-] people and injured about [-]%. The Goguryeo allied forces killed by their horseshoes and cavalry were at least more than [-] to [-]. The results are obvious.

Those wounded heavy cavalry were quickly unarmored by some men in white coats. Those with bleeding symptoms stopped bleeding, those with fracture symptoms, bone setting, and those with damaged internal organs. Or various medical methods to drain blood congestion, etc., are not at all like the attack on Goguryeo in the previous Sui Dynasty. After being injured, you can rely on yourself to survive, and the uncomfortable scene will commit suicide.

When Su Dingfang blew his whistle and let the crossbowmen and archers shoot intensively to suppress them, and the infantry withdrew from the battlefield, Zhang Gongjin was sweating profusely in the forest outside the south gate of Yanjin.
