Chapter 242 The Great Victory
The main force of the [-] infantry finally arrived and brought news that there was a change in the direction of Liaodong City in Goguryeo, and it seemed that they were about to send troops.After Li Chongjiu heard the words, he ordered the army to arrive at Liangshui and set up an array south of Gaimu City.

Yang Linfu once again advised Li Chongjiu, saying that this is definitely Goguryeo's trick to lure the enemy, to lure the Han army under the fortified city of Gaimu City, and then surround and annihilate it with a large army.Li Chongjiu listened to Yang Linfu's opinion, but did not speak.

The Cangtou army deployed in Liangshui, and the city of Gaimu had also strengthened the city defenses in the past few days. The three anti-horse walls under the city seemed to have dug pits again, buried barbed wire, antlers and the like, and on the top of the city. There are piles of various rolling woods and rocks, and even several trebuchets.

The Goguryeo defenders were standing by, and they seemed to have recognized Li Chongjiu's Khan banner. Whenever Li Chongjiu's Khan banner appeared under a certain city, there would be drums and gongs in the city, and the defenders laughed loudly.Several Goguryeo men in white clothes and trousers even put on the clothes of Han women, danced in public, and then threw the clothes one by one into the city, laughing loudly.This scene made all the generals explode in anger. Even if they knew that the Goguryeo people used such methods to stimulate the soldiers to attack the city, they could not tolerate it.But Li Chongjiu ordered the generals not to fight without authorization.

The next day there was a noisy commotion outside Gaimu City, and the Goguryeo soldiers were all overjoyed, thinking that the Han army had finally come to attack the city.But after picking up their weapons and rushing to the top of the city, the Goguryeo soldiers on the top of Gaimu City were all stunned.It turned out that it was not the Han army who came to attack the city.

I saw the dense gray squirming behind the Liangshui under the city.

Countless people in sackcloth and ragged clothes are wading across the river.Each of them carried a soil bag on their backs, and the heavily armed Han army drove them down the city of Gaimu with horse whips.And the same scene also appeared in the surrounding cities.The Koguryo soldiers on the top of the city immediately recognized that these people who were approaching the city were actually the people of their own country.

Under the big banner, Li Chongjiu sat on a horse and watched the battle, while the generals behind him looked at the top of the city with awe.

"Beat the drum! Siege the city!" Li Chongjiu shouted.

Rumbling drums sounded, and the Goguryeo people at the front saw that the Han soldiers behind them raised their crossbows and pointed their sabers at their backs.When the Great Sui conquered Goguryeo, these Goguryeo people would rather burn the crops in the fields and fill up the wells than give a grain of rice or a mouthful of water to the Sui army.

But now they are driving forward for the Han army. These Goguryeo people gritted their teeth and moved forward with earth bags on their hands. Don't shoot arrows.

At this moment, the first anti-horse wall of Gaimu City was instantly submerged by these Goguryeo people. Unprepared, many people were stabbed in the feet by barbed wire, but the people behind were urged by the Han army, and immediately submerged in these injured people.

The trenches were filled with soil bags carried by the Goguryeo people, and the wooden horse defense walls were also dismantled by the Goguryeo people. Although the disassembly was quite slow, more and more people came from behind, and countless people crowded Pushing back and forth on the horse defense wall, he broke through the first horse defense wall abruptly.The Goguryeo people on the top of Gaimu City also understood at this time that the Han army actually used their own people to attack the city.

Li Chongjiu clearly felt the anger of the Goguryeo people on the top of the city.Immediately, the first wave of arrows shot down from the top of the city, and the Goguryeo people who moved the antlers in front and filled the trenches suddenly rushed to the arrows.

The Goguryeo people in the front were stopped by this stagnation, but at this time the Han army in the rear urged the Goguryeo people to move forward by various means, and the people in front couldn't help pushing forward for the crowd behind. , were trampled under the feet of their own people.

The antler ditch in the second horse defense wall was also filled up, and the guards on the top of the city could not look at their fortifications, so they were destroyed. After receiving the order, the Goguryeo soldiers began to shoot arrows one after another Killing the people of the country.The throwing stones, kerosene, and rolling wooden rocks that were originally used to deal with the Han army rolled down from the top of the city and tilted down the mountain.Densely packed arrowheads whizzed out of the dungeon.

"Don't shoot the arrows, we are our own people." The Goguryeo people in front knelt and kowtowed together, crying and wailing into the sky, but these begging people were shot and killed on the spot by the arrows of the defenders.

"I am Koryo, don't be cowardly!" After being translated by someone, Li Chongjiu understood how a general on the other side roared loudly at the head of Gaimu City.
The defenders were killing mercilessly. When the general roared, the soldiers beside him were unable to lower their bows and arrows.Some soldiers even threw their bows and arrows and cried loudly on the top of the city. If they followed suit, the morale of the Goguryeo army on the top of the city was shaken.The arrows on the city were slightly weaker, and in a blink of an eye, the second and third anti-horse walls were flattened by the Koguryo people rushing forward!

boom!
The sound of beating drums sounded in the city, and the gate to the south of the city was opened immediately. The Goguryeo people who had rushed to the city were all overjoyed. The crowd dispersed.

Li Chongjiu said: "There is no need to drive away these Goguryeo people, prepare for a field battle!"

All the generals were shocked when they saw the Goguryeo people in the city abandoning the fortified city and going out to fight the Sui army.The gate of Goguryeo opened wide, and the cavalry roared out, heading straight for Li Chongjiu's Chinese army banner.Li Chongjiu watched the opponent's iron cavalry charging into the formation without the slightest trick. He knew that the opponent's general was really angry by himself, and this was simply a reckless killing.

At present, the Cangtou Army's [-] infantry are arrayed along Liangshui.Three thousand Shanggu soldiers were in the front line, and five hundred crossbowmen held crossbows and walked to the first line. After that, a thousand infantry archers who could fight five fights with one stone were in the second and third lines, followed by Mo Daomen, spearmen, and sword and shield soldiers. Backwards by one column.

And Mohe in the west of Liaoxi, the three thousand infantry of the Dingling tribe also took up their big sticks, Guduo and other weapons behind the Han army, ready to fight.The last one is Wang Mahan's One Thousand Cavalry.

Suddenly, the horseshoes broke through the calm Liangshui, and the river was splashed high by the horseshoes. The Goguryeo cavalry, wearing horns and iron pockets, and holding a pointed iron spear, rushed across the river to attack the Sui army's position.The Goguryeo cavalry's attacking formation was impressive. Under the horns and iron hoods covering their faces, the cavalry in blue and black armor immediately crowded the north bank of Liangshui.

The clanging of iron armor was accompanied by the roar of horseshoes, and after that, large groups of infantry armed with spears leaned out from the city gate, and an extremely eye-catching banner with a tall character was erected there.

"Kill all the Han dogs!" The monstrous voices of countless Goguryeo soldiers suddenly came overwhelming.

Seeing this scene, both left and right were a little worried.Beads of sweat dripped from the noses and foreheads of the first row of crossbowmen.

When the Goguryeo cavalry was halfway through, Li Chongjiu's command flag hanging high on his right hand suddenly fell down.The first row of crossbowmen pulled the hanging knife, the crossbow shook, and the arrows were like locusts.The Goguryeo iron cavalry rushing densely in the Liangshui River seemed to be swept by a rake of iron nails, and a scene of people turning their backs on their backs.

The horses were neighing, and they plunged into the water with a bang. The Goguryeo cavalry on their backs flew out of their saddles, and then the second row of archers standing on the bank of the river also raised their bows to the sky, like a black cloud of arrows. Descending from the sky, Goguryeo cavalry kept screaming and fell to the ground during the charge.

The third row of longbows shot quickly, and the dense arrows pierced the iron shields and armor of the Goguryeo cavalry like a gust of wind and rain. Pieces of Goguryeo cavalry rolled off their horses and fell into the water together with their heavy armor and pockets, splashing. A big splash came.

"On field warfare, we Han people are your ancestors!"

With the rapid shooting of the arrows, the soldiers of the Cangtou Army gritted their teeth, quickly wound up, and shot every arrow of revenge fiercely at Goguryeo in front of them. Tongding Town, Jingguan, Sashui, this scene In a tragic scene, the unyielding souls of the Han soldiers who died tragically are protecting them.Each of these arrows is revenge for the 30 robes that year.

If it was an ordinary army, it would have collapsed or fled desperately under the blow of arrows, but the Goguryeo people were very brave?Still angered by Li Chongjiu's method of attacking the city, he came one after another.From time to time, Li Chongjiu saw that those Goguryeo generals wearing fish scale armor even charged forward in person. The fish scale armor on their bodies gave them good protection, and they were almost shot into hedgehogs. They didn't bleed until they struggled to the river beach on the other side. die.

"The last general petitioned to be the forward." General Wang Mahan crossed his hands.

General Li Chongjiu pointed to the banner of the Goguryeo Central Army, and said: "Lead your army to attack the enemy's Central Army, and if you lose, come and see me!"

"promise!"

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The vigorous and heavy drum sound resounded through the army.If the drum sounds, you will advance, and if the drum sounds, you will strike!

Hearing the sound of the drum, Wang Mahan's [-] armored cavalry troops went out to battle. This was Li Chongjiu's most elite troops, using the best horses, the most elite gentry, and the sharpest weapons to forge the armored cavalry.Li Chongjiu is now using him to attack the central army of the Goguryeo people.

The armored cavalry suddenly smashed into the heart of the Goguryeo people like a mad dragon.

Li Chongjiu saw that the Goguryeo army was in disarray, and immediately shouted: "The whole army is attacking!"

At this time, Etuo, Yinghefu, Tudiji, and Cui Xu led nearly ten thousand cavalry to attack Gaimu City from all directions.

The general attack of the Cangtou Army has begun!
The Goguryeo soldiers who were leaving the city were weak on the left and right wings, and were attacked by the Sui army at the same time. They were charging in the direction of Li Chongjiu's banner with big strides.It was the general's angry impulse that made them forget the flank cover.
The prairie cavalry drew out their sabers and clubs one after another, and rushed into the enemy's infantry like a tiger into a flock of sheep. Like a ruthless harvester, the spears in their hands were pierced and retracted.The sharp long knife rubbed against the armor and cut through the human body, a ball of blood splashed straight up, and the sound of the knife piercing into the flesh was heard.

As for Guduo, a blunt and heavy weapon like a mace, every time it is swung, it makes a piercing and piercing sound.

In an instant, the city of Gaimu was transformed into a hell on earth for the Goguryeo people.
