The moon is hidden and the stars are sinking, the night is quiet, but the banks of the Liao River are in full swing. (hua.advertisement).79xs-
The Xia army was busy building boat bridges, and the Goguryeo soldiers strengthened the city walls overnight, making arrows, and the commanders of the two armies were not sleepy. But seeing Jiang Luo standing by the river, looking at the other bank, I don't know how long it took, before he said to his son and nephew who were following him respectfully: "Da Lang, San Lang, you were born to be the pride of the sky, do you often feel complacent about this?" ”
Without waiting for the two to say anything, Jiang Luo said again: "Even if everyone is crowded, you need to introspect from time to time, don't be blinded and can't see the road under your feet." ”
Jiang Kui and Jiang Yuan hurriedly said yes, and their attitudes were very respectful and obedient. Jiang knew that they had answered, so he didn't take it to heart or say anything.
He hopes that his children and nephews can be successful, and all the mentions that should be done have been done, as for whether they remember it or not, it is their own business. Sometimes, if you don't suffer a loss, others say that no matter how much you have, it is more. I just hope that their luck will not be too bad in the future, after all, many people are like this, if they fall down once, they will lose a lifetime.
The Liao River is fast and shallow, the former is known to them, but the latter is rarely known. But less does not mean no, for example, those craftsmen who built boat bridges and even +↖79,m. soldiers, is it possible that none of them found that the Liao River is shallow? Before Xiao Yu told him, the coach, didn't know anything about it.
Jiang pondered it a little carefully, and probably understood the truth - these people who knew the inside story were partly afraid that Xia Jun would directly flow into the water, once something happened, such as a mud and sand whirlpool in the center of the river or something, the damage was quite large, and the person who contributed the plan had to bear the responsibility, so he deliberately did not say it; Part of it is that it is better to have more than one thing and pretend not to know; There are also some who deliberately watch jokes, or there are people above, and they don't want Liaodong City to be broken in their hearts; Then there is the contradiction between the sailors and the infantry, and the-for-tat between regions. As for those who really want to show merit, or the official is low, and he can't see his own figure; Or when the military situation is urgent, then 'expose' this matter, so as to fight for the first effort...... There are so many things, Fang Daozhì is such an important matter, and no one told him about the coach before the war.
These subtle contradictions, people's hearts, usually do not show the mountain 'dew', only at such times can their terrible power be revealed.
Thinking of this, Jiang slightly shook his head.
Among the three major protectorates of the imperial court, the Anxi soldiers are the most unruly, and the Anbei faction is the most complex. Because of the miasma in the south, people with a little bit of power in the family are reluctant to go there. Read the full text of the latest chapter.Even if you have the heart of being the emperor of the soil, it is useless when the court is strong, and it will be protected for a few years, and no one can do it for long. What's more, the Miao people and the Pengyi people have different customs, and the marriage feels that they elevate the other party, belittle themselves, and let the other party be concubines...... If you run into a strong 'sex', it's definitely not good. Therefore, the generals who went to the south all had the intention of quickly transferring away, and they were quite obedient to Shangfeng, and the only thing they needed to worry about was the minerals.
Although the Anxi Protectorate is the strongest of the three major Metropolitan Protectorates, there are many countries in the Western Regions, the Silk Road is very prosperous, there are many 'mixed' blood between Hu and Han, and it also involves sectarian issues, and all kinds of things are not once or twice. Because of this, Anxi Dadu has the right to "act cheaply", that is, he can kill you first and then ask the court for guilt.
The knife is on the neck, and the people who dare to make trouble are a minority after all, so ah, those high-ranking officials and nobles, military generals, if they can not go to the West, they will not go to the West - the rumors that the Anxi Protectorate has a relationship with horse thieves are not a day or two, who knows if they go there, will they be pulled down together?
In this way, there is no war on weekdays, and a few years of 'chaos' is a layer of seniority; once the war starts, it is a large-scale war, and the north has become the first choice for nobles and generals. It is also difficult to deal with the many factions in the north, if it weren't for Jiang Liu's 'exposed' position that was not too clear, and some people had the intention of fighting for him, and did not explicitly add 'chaos', otherwise...... It seems that tomorrow will be even more precautionary.
The next day, as soon as the sky was 'Meng' and 'Meng', Li Chengdao was already standing on the city wall.
This powerful figure who stomped his feet and trembled in Goguryeo looked at the three boat bridges that had been erected on the Liao River to cross the middle of the river, and his face was pale. Others were dumbfounded, and even trembled a little - three boat bridges were erected overnight, this is the strength of the Xia army, if you really want to care, I am afraid that the Goguryeo people in the entire Liaodong land may not have such speed and ability!
I heard that this time it was only the Anbei Protectorate Army, and the new emperor of Great Xia was also in the prime of life.
Li Chengdao swept away everyone's expressions, and knew that the remarks spread by the Min family still worked in the end, so he couldn't help but snort in his heart, and his heart said that Wenchen is Wenchen, and whoever he serves as the master is the same. Anyway, Great Xia prides itself on being a state of etiquette, and it is impossible to directly merge Goguryeo into their state capital, even if it is imperceptibly two or three generations. But their Li family is different, once Goguryeo really becomes a vassal state of Great Xia, can the emperors and courtiers of the Xia state tolerate the Li family?
To others, but dignity and honor; In the Li family, it is life and death. Therefore, Li Chengdao's face was as pale as ice, and he said coldly: "Release the arrow!" ”
At the sound of an order, the 3,000 Goguryeo archers on the bank of the Liao River did not hesitate to 'shoot' the arrows in their hands towards the boat bridge!
In an instant, the rain of arrows that covered the sky made the clear sky dark!
With the construction of the pontoon bridge, the soldiers of Daxia were also ready to go and rushed onto the boat bridge. The army on the left flank was at the forefront, and although there were shield soldiers holding shields and blocking the front, the arrows of the Goguryeo people were too dense, and many of them were still hit by arrows, and they were unsteady on their feet and fell down.
It's not that no one wants to escape, but behind them are people rushing forward, and on the left and right are the turbulent Liao River, if you don't go forward, you can only fall down, and there is no way to retreat!
Zhou Rin, the commander of the left wing and one of the deputy commanders of the Northern Army, had a cold expression, even though there were soldiers constantly falling into the water, almost dyeing the water of the Liao River red, he was unmoved.
Jiang Kui pinched the hilt of the sword, the horse seemed to notice his anxiety, neighed, he hurriedly comforted the beloved horse, but he was a little depressed in his heart.
Although he has also experienced the battlefield and seen many siege battles filled with human lives, they are all the 'sex' lives of prisoners, and the soldiers are in the minority, let alone at this time...... In fact, there is no shortage of archers in Great Xia, if you really want to talk about it, it is much stronger than the archers of Goguryeo, why not do it now?
Even if he was full of doubts and puzzles, he knew how to measure, the lessons he had received in the past were enough, and if he wanted to interfere again, not to mention whether Zhou Rin would buy the Jiang family's face, he didn't dare to really challenge his uncle's authority. Therefore, he gritted his teeth and waited for an unknown amount of time before he heard Zhou Rin say: "Archer, go!" ”
Since the left wing is the vanguard, how can Jiang Luo not send more archers to them? But at his command, six neat phalanxes were lined up on the shore, each with two thousand crossbowmen. But I saw them in a phalanx of three, bending bows, setting up arrows, and 'shooting' them. The dense rain of arrows crossed the Liao River and fell on the Goguryeo archers, returning the tragedy that had happened to the Xia army to the Goguryeo people without any difference.
This round of arrow rain had just ended, and the other three phalanxes had already drawn their bows, and the sky seemed to be frightened by such an attack, and it became dark and heavy, and there was no sunlight in sight.
The Goguryeo archers panicked, and many of them retreated one after another, trying to dodge the arrows. Li Chengdao gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Don't stop, let them continue to 'shoot'!" Those who retreat without permission will be killed! ”
Compared with him, Jiang Luo was calm and relaxed.
In Jiang Luo's view, although Li Zailiang taught his son a set, he still lacked something. Li Chengdao is young and vigorous, far less stable than Zhou Rin—that's right. The bows and crossbows of Daxia are better than those of Goguryeo, whether in terms of accuracy or 'shooting' range, they are 30% higher, but you can't rely on this advantage to blindly attack and fight, and you must have a strategy.
Archers are not iron-clad, and if they 'shoot' arrows repeatedly, they will definitely get tired, not only will they lose their accuracy, but they will also be unable to lift their hands, and the range of 'shooting' will not be as far as before.
Li Chengdao sent archers to play before, and he did achieve certain results, taking away the 'life' of nearly a thousand Xia soldiers, so what? Zhou Rin can endure it all the time, endure until his archers are replaced, and then let the archers of Great Xia dispatch!
What's the use of killing an enemy who is already exhausted and can fight again for a few hours? If you want to kill, kill their 'elite'!
Under the cover of dense bows and arrows, many infantry had already jumped into the river, stepping on the sand, advancing step by step. The sailors had already been drawn, and the warships were escorting many small boats, and many sturdy planks were placed on the small boats, which docked with the bridge, making the construction of the bridge several times faster.
At the same time, the cavalry was already in position, ready to rush to the bridge that was about to be built.
Li Chengdao looked at the increasingly unfavorable situation, anxious, and suddenly thought of one thing, and said sharply: "What about the scouts?" Why haven't you returned it yet? ”
I have to say that Daxia's strategy is still very successful - the city of Pyongyang was besieged, even if the Li family was just for show, they had to 'draw' thousands of soldiers and horses back to help. In this way, their defensive strength was slightly insufficient, so in order for the enemy's Xia army to send 'elites' to cross the river from a distance, and make a roundabout way, he sent many scouts out to patrol both sides of the river day and night. But he didn't expect Xia Jun to come so quickly, and when he thought that the scouts hadn't come back for an hour, the sound of thunderous horses' hooves had already sounded. In the battlefield where the sound of fighting is incessant, this sound seems insignificant, but the cavalry unit that appeared out of nowhere has stabbed into the phalanx of Goguryeo infantry like a sharp knife, splitting it in half!
It was too late to reprimand his subordinates, and asked where this team came out, knowing that if it dragged on like this, once the heavy cavalry of Great Xia successfully crossed the river, Li Chengdao, who had no second possibility except to defend it, gritted his teeth fiercely and said sharply: "Pass the order, cavalry troops, go out of the city to meet the enemy!" ”;
