The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1256 The Battle of Liaoshui

The first batch of troops crossing the river of the Han army quickly landed on the east bank, and they immediately built a beachhead on the east bank of the Liao River. As the Han army continued to land, the formation scale on the east bank became larger and larger. .

"How about it, can we launch an attack?" Suo Du couldn't hold back anymore.

Murong Xin's eyes were fixed on the front. The Han army crossed the river at a very fast speed, and soon crossed a lot of people, but there was still some gap with the plan in Murong Xin's mind. Murong Xin had a big appetite. Attacking halfway, he planned to bite the Han army hard. He dare not say that the Han army was wiped out on the east bank of the Liao River, but at least half of their troops had to be wiped out, and that would be the real joy.

In this ambush, in addition to Goguryeo sending an army of nearly 5 people, Murong Xianbei Yuwen Xianbei Duan's Xianbei sent all their cavalry to participate in the battle. Murong Xin believed that after the Han army crossed the river, it was impossible to form an effective defensive formation. As long as a cavalry offensive is launched suddenly, the formation of the Han army can be easily destroyed. At that time, the Han army has no way to retreat, and can only be slaughtered by the Xianbei cavalry.

Now that the Han army has just started to cross the river, the number of troops crossing is still relatively limited. If Murongxin wants to play a big game, he must bear with it, so he suggested that Suo Do not be too anxious, and wait until the Han army is almost halfway across the river. When there are troops, attack again.

Although Suo Dou is the supreme commander of this operation, but before leaving, King Meichuan told him to listen to Murong Xin's opinion as much as possible, so although Suo Dou is eager to take action at this moment, he is restrained from time to time. Live, waiting for the best opportunity to do it.

In fact, Murongxin couldn't figure out when the Han army would cross over half of the troops. This purely required his own visual observation and judgment. After he estimated that more than 3 Han troops had already landed, he proposed to Suodu that they could Attacked.

Suo Dou roared and went into battle himself. Goguryeo and Xianbei ambushed all over the place and rushed towards the beachhead of the Han army.

The Wudang Flying Army of Zhang Le and the Yang'an Army of Zhao Zhuo completed the crossing of the Han army in advance. After they crossed the river, they immediately formed a defensive spear formation. This formation was naturally used to restrain the cavalry. Behind the long spear formation, there is an attacking square formed by archers and Yuanrong crossbowmen.

In fact, when Zhang Le just crossed the river, he still had some small worries, that is, he was afraid that the Goguryeo people would suddenly launch an attack when the Han army was small in number and their foothold was not stable, and the Han army would be caught off guard.After all, when Wudang Feijun just crossed the river, the number was relatively small, and it was difficult to resist the strong attack of the Goguryeo people.

However, Zhang Le's worries are superfluous. Obviously, the Goguryeo people have a relatively large appetite, and they are not satisfied with eating a small part of the Han army.Seeing that there was still no movement on the other side, Zhang Le couldn't help but sneered contemptuously. The Goguryeo people might have miscalculated this time. The combat power formed by the established Han army after crossing the Liaohe River was by no means something they could destroy.

The Wudang Fei Army and the Yang'an Army have all crossed the river, forming a combined fighting force. As for the Tiger Infantry Army, they are still moving towards the river in a steady stream. Behind the Tiger Infantry Army are the two cavalry troops of the Qinglong Army and the Xuanwu Army. The cavalry had horses, and the speed of crossing the river was slower, so Liu Yin arranged for the infantry to cross the river in advance, in order to establish a beachhead as soon as possible, at least to have a foothold first, and wait until the cavalry finished crossing the river before launching a full-scale counterattack.

At this time, the Goguryeo and Xianbei armies were all in ambush, and the armies on three sides rushed over with Mount Tai on top. Zhang Le was not angry but happy, and laughed.

The cavalrymen of Murong Xianbei, Yuwenbu and Duanbu Xianbei rushed to the forefront. They have been suppressed since they entered Liaodong, and they were depressed everywhere. Therefore, the Xianbei cavalry took the vanguard this time because they wanted to feel proud , to relieve the bad breath in my heart.

Although the land on the banks of the Liao River had just melted and was quite soft, the Xianbei cavalry didn't seem to care. They pushed forward in one breath, trying to drive the Han army who had crossed the river back into the Liao River.

The Xianbei cavalry rushed up fiercely, while the Han army was already in full formation, ready to face the battle. The pikemen in the forefront were densely packed, forming an iron wall, with cold light on the tip of their spears, densely covered.

Before the Xianbei cavalry rushed to the front of the spear formation, they heard the sound of the bowstring, and feathered arrows drew beautiful arcs in the air, shooting towards the Xianbei cavalry rushing up.

The random arrows shot towards the sky like an intertwined net. Before the Xianbei cavalry had time to react, many people and horses were hit by the arrows one after another, and they kept falling from their horses.

This situation is of course within Murongxin's expectation. In the initial offensive stage, the Xianbei cavalry will definitely be hindered. This is a normal thing. Once the cavalry breaks through the Han army's defense line, it will be a real massacre The feast begins.

Murongxu ordered the Xianbei cavalry to rush forward at all costs, rush into the formation of the Han army as much as possible, and engage in hand-to-hand combat, and the archers on which the Han army relied for survival became useless.

So the Xianbei cavalry braved the rain of arrows and continued to launch a storm. Joining the sequence of the storm was the cavalry of Goguryeo. They fought side by side with the Xianbei cavalry, vowing to tear apart the defensive positions of the Han army.

But the further they go, the greater the pressure these cavalry bear. The Han army not only used ordinary archers, but also several battalions of Yuanrong crossbowmen to help in the battle. The terrifying power has become a nightmare for the Xianbei cavalry. Hundreds of thousands of Yuanrong crossbows fired in volley, and the torrential rain formed in a short period of time can almost destroy all creatures that can stand in front of them. Being suppressed in front of the Han army, it was almost impossible to advance an inch, and the ground was full of corpses of Xianbei people and Goguryeo people.

The offensive was blocked, and the grumpy Suo was furious. He ordered the whole army of Goguryeo to press on and successfully penetrate the defense at all costs.

Goguryeo's army rushed forward like a tide, and no matter how dense the Han army's arrows were, they could not stop their progress at this moment.

But rushing to the front is one thing, trying to break through the defense is another. The dense spear array is simple but practical. Tiao's spear stabbed fiercely at the Xianbei troops, and countless cavalrymen were splashed with blood on the spot and died in front of the battle.
