There are several plains in Goguryeo, and the people of the Ya tribe were afraid of them in the past, so there are a lot of war horses, although they are all Liaodong horses, but they are still very good.

After the discussion was settled, Yuan Gai Suwen led 40,000 cavalry and 30,000 foot soldiers to rob and kill Zou Yu, while Yizhi Wende stayed to rectify the soldiers.

You must know that with so many people, it is not easy to control the overall situation, even if it is Yuan Gai Suwen, he can't do it, which is why he is willing to hand over the military power.

Goguryeo is indeed a country with strong folk customs, perhaps because of the years of preparation for war, they have become very accustomed to fighting, especially in the face of invaders, it is easy to share the enemy, and they are very obedient to orders.

Zou Yu and the others have won easily many times, one is by surprise, and the other is sometimes based on defense, not to invade other people's homes, the antipathy caused is not so great, and the natural resistance is not so strong.

Zou Yu was not worried about fighting Goguryeo people with Goguryeo people, because the people who were transferred were all local people with families, and they were people who had been with him for at least a year or two and felt the generous welfare policy under Zou Yu's rule, so he had already returned to his heart.

Even after many times of brainwashing and the influence of constant propaganda, many people do not consider themselves Goguryeo at all, and even look down on their former identities extremely.

The most important point is that Zou Yu arrested all the officials, generals, and wealthy merchants and landlords in the occupied areas, and those who did not take the lead in making trouble would have lost most of the trouble.

The people are like this, on the one hand, they don't care who the emperor is, as long as they can make themselves live well, on the other hand, they are also easy to be brainwashed and provoke all kinds of emotions, so that the nouveau riche has huge power.

Yuangai Suwen finally chose the Wafanggou area and sniped Zou Yu. It's just that he can't think of what kind of opponent he will face, in their minds, the number is a huge advantage, even if the army in the Central Plains is more elite.

He did not choose the mountainous area of Wafanggou, because it was impossible for Zou Yu to take the road without walking, and to take the dangerous mountain road; The reason for choosing this place is because there is a tributary of the Yalu River opposite Wafanggou, and after Zou Yu crossed the river, it was not so easy to retreat, even if he ran, he couldn't run many people. He just wants to completely defeat Zou Yu and retreat one enemy army, and even cause instability in the hearts of several other people, which is the best effect.

Zou Yu naturally also knew that the enemy in front of him had set up a position, and the 40,000 cavalry were on the flat ground in front of Wafanggou, two miles apart in the south, and there were 30,000 foot soldiers, which should be to prevent the sailors from going ashore to support! Everything is so clear.

In a war of this level, few people have been selected, because the scouts will definitely find out the terrain of the nearby hundred miles clearly, and whether there are reinforcements or not is also under consideration.

As for the water and fire attack, it is a thing that must be guarded against, it is early summer, the vegetation is luxuriant, and the fire attack is naturally nonsense, as for the water, there is no need to think about it, after all, it is the riverside, and no one can block it.

Yuangai Suwen wanted to defeat Zou Yu, why didn't Zou Yu want to destroy some of the enemies first, after all, there was a huge difference in their own strength, and he relied on elite equipment and a large number of cavalry.

Li Jing's main force is only more than 60,000 people, the forward plus logistics, and Liu Renliang's men and horses, a total of only 80,000 people, including 30,000 cavalry; Han Qianxun only had 8,000 people in the Ya tribe there, because there were still thousands of people and horses involved in Goguryeo in the Huishan area, and there were 20,000 in the other room, and there were only 20,000 people in the headquarters, except for those who sat in Yalu City and transported grain and grass, there were only 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 foot soldiers, totaling more than 40,000 people; As for Zou Yu here, together with the sailors, there are only 38,000 people, Dandong, Wugu and other places still have to be watched by the guards, and there are only less than 30,000 people who really cross the river to face Yuangai Suwen.

150,000 against 400,000 Goguryeo; It seems that there is a huge disparity in strength, but considering that there are 100,000 cavalry, this is not too much.

Cavalry developed from the earliest chariots to individual mounts. Cavalry is the main means of cavalry, with strong mobility ability, destroy the formation, and then cover the kill, this is the main role of the cavalry, after all, a war horse, training is not easy, to some extent, more precious than soldiers.

It takes two years for a horse to be considered a qualified war horse, while a soldier only needs a few months, or a simple training, and can be pulled out to fight, so no one wants to sacrifice too many horses in one battle to break the formation.

Only the heavy armor is the most elite cavalry in the hands of various forces, because iron weapons are rare, so the heavy armored cavalry has always been very rare, generally speaking, only the leader, there is only such a group.

Whether it is a tiger and leopard cavalry or a white-eared elite soldier, they are all heavy armor soldiers, but they only exist as the monarch's personal guard. Zou Yu can be said to be the first person to form a large-scale formation of heavy armored cavalry and foot soldiers.

20,000 cavalry, 10,000 foot soldiers, facing the 40,000 cavalry of Yuangai Suwen, set up a formation. On the left and right flanks, there were 10,000 cavalry each, and in the middle were 10,000 foot soldiers.

"What's going on? Look down on me? Or is there really an ambush? Yuangai Suwen said puzzled.

Because of Zou Yu's arrangement, it is generally based on foot soldiers, and the cavalry is restrained and protected from the left and right, so it will be this kind of formation! But he obviously only has 10,000 foot soldiers and more cavalry, which makes people incomprehensible.

"Impossible! The subordinates personally inquired, on this side of the river, a radius of a hundred miles, there are no ambushes, if they are behind them, waiting for the river to come, it will be enough time for us to retreat. A general shook his head and said.

"Is it on a boat? This is impossible, this ship, including sailors, can carry a maximum of 20,000 people! Yuangai Suwen reached out to scratch the back of his head in distress, but only grabbed the helmet.

"Why don't you let your subordinates lead people to test it?" Another general asked.

"Nope! It can't be like that! Little by little, it is in their arms, and if they want to fight, they will defeat them in one go. Yuangai Suwen shook his head and said solemnly.

"Please give the general an order!"

"Gaucho! Chen Jiabing! You two will take 10,000 cavalry each, and attack on the right and left, not to outdo them, but you must hold back until I have defeated the foot soldiers, and then support you. Yuangai Suwen took a deep breath and ordered!

"Whoa!" The two generals responded with a firm expression of fists.

"Wang Can! You take 10,000 foot soldiers, attack head-on, and be sure to break away from the enemy line for me! Yuangai Suwen continued to order.

"Whoa!"

"Lookout! Wei Chi Jingde! Looking at the mobilization of soldiers and horses on the opposite side, Zou Yu shouted loudly.

"The last general!" The two excitedly rode out of their horses and responded with fists in their hands.

"You two go to the left and right flanks, lead the cavalry, and protect me on both sides!" Zou Yu ordered.

"Whoa!" The two of them received the order, rode their horses to both sides respectively, and Yi Nan had no opinion at all about the two taking over the command, after all, under the rule of Zou Yu, those generals were more fierce, and he knew a little about it, and the positions of the two were originally above him.

"Liang Shitai! Qin Yong! ”

"The last general!"

"You two lead the foot soldiers, you must withstand the first wave of attacks for me!" Zou Yu pointed forward and said resolutely.

"Whoa!" In order not to talk nonsense, the two of them responded with their fists, lifted the double hammer from their horses, and began to shout for the formation.

Zou Yu's side, if you arrange it, Goguryeo's side also sounded the horn of attack. Two cavalry, rushing to the flanks.

"Woo! Woo! Woo! The desolate sound of the bull's horn is low and long, which makes people hold their breath in their hearts when they hear it, and they don't vomit or feel unhappy.

"Rush!" Wei Chi Jingde pointed at the horse, met the opponent, and rushed out. At the same time, Xun Xiang also gave the same order.

The cavalry duel, swift and brutal, shot at each other, and then strangled together.

Of course, under Zou Yu, the equipment is definitely better, because the time is short, so most of the soldiers, the equipment has not been completely updated, but at least half of it has been changed. Just like the Xue Yantuo people, they are only equipped with cuirass and barrier blades.

Even so, they took advantage of a big advantage, the same 10,000 people, as soon as they fought, had the upper hand, and the casualties were less than half of the opponent's.

Soon after the cavalry fought, 10,000 foot soldiers of Goguryeo also rushed up, and with the two sides firing at each other, they collided together.

These thousands of foot soldiers, belonging to the Goguryeo people of the four counties of Shicheng, although they have been trained and equipped with a lot of steel swords and iron armor, spears and steel arm bows, but compared to the elite soldiers led by Yuangai Suwen, they are still much worse, even if there are Liang Shitai and Qin Yong, they only have a slight advantage.

Yuangai Suwen saw the three battlefields, although he did not have an advantage, but he was not too surprised, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Leaving 20,000 foot soldiers to suppress the formation, Yuangai Suwen led 20,000 cavalry and rushed towards Zou Yu's handsome banner!

"Huh! I really thought that if we have few people, we will be easy to bully! Luo Cheng said with a sneer.

"They don't have binoculars, so they can't see what their equipment is." Zou Yu put down the binoculars and said with a faint smile on his face.

With binoculars, the battle situation within a radius of seven or eight miles, without the need for heralds, is basically very clear.

"Luo Cheng!" Zou Yu said loudly.

"The last general!"

"You take the swordsmen, follow behind, and wait for us to resist before we do it!"

"Whoa!"

"Yuanba! Do you bring axes or shields? ”

"Axemen!" Li Yuanba said coolly.

"Alright! I'm a shield soldier! "I knew that it was the answer," Zou Yu said with a smile. Then his face turned straight and he ordered: "Drumming!" Advance! ”

Cavalry Horn Infantry Drum! This is the order of battle, and the cavalry uses the horn because the horn is louder and can reach the ears of the soldiers through the sound of the horse's hooves; And because the foot soldiers are marching in formation, they need to step on the drum in order to be uniform.

Although Zou Yu used slogans to make the soldiers walk in unison, on the battlefield, no one had such a loud voice, which could make tens of thousands of people hear the slogan. Still have to rely on huge cowhide war drums.

The drums also have the advantage of boosting morale and making people's blood boil, as the drums of war become more and more dense, Zou Yu and the three of them began to jog with their foot soldiers.

Although they were jogging, looking down from a high altitude, the whole formation was not chaotic at all, and the heavy armor tower shield soldiers were separated by a distance of about two meters, shooting in front of them; Two meters behind them, a double-edged axe soldier rushed forward; As for the sword soldiers led by Luo Cheng, they were different, they were only fifty centimeters apart, and it could be said that they were moving forward very intensively.

When the two sides were only a kilometer, Yuan Gai Suwen, who was half-squinting, realized that the situation was not right, and the opposite side was actually full of heavy armored infantry, and it was the kind that couldn't even see his face.

"Stop!" Zou Yu ordered loudly, and as the flag waved, the sound of war drums also stopped.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! There was no need to command, the tower shield soldier thrust the tower shield in his hand into the ground, and then reached out and wiped it, and a hand axe appeared in his hand.

Not only the tower shield soldiers, but also the axe soldiers, with small axes in their hands.

"I don't believe that you can block the impact of the war horse!" Yuangai Suwen said viciously, although he saw that they were all heavily armoured, but he still trusted the cavalry more, after all, the cavalry can control the foot soldiers, this truth will not be wrong, unless it is an archer.

Zou Yu didn't have archers, and Yuan Gai Suwen didn't bother to give the order to release the arrows, so he clenched his double swords, bent down, and rode his horse to rush forward.

With cavalry breaking heavy armor and foot soldiers, Yuan Gai Suwen naturally would not rush to the front, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, so he stared at the front, wanting to see where Zou Yu got the courage to resist 20,000 cavalry with 3,000 foot soldiers.

The first thing that greeted him was a burst of throwing axes, which was really a "heavy gift"! In the angry eyes of Yuangai Suwen, it fell on the cavalry, and many people immediately fell off their horses, causing chaos in the back.

Throwing it with your hands is indeed much faster than opening a bow and arrows, but in one arrow, the Goguryeo cavalry suffered three axes, and the momentum of the attack couldn't help but be stunned.

It's just that 20,000 cavalry, which is indeed too much, they are surrounded in the shape of a crescent, and most of the places are not affected.

"Roar!" Seeing that it was near, the axe-bearer roared, dragged the axe, took the initiative to meet it, threw his arm, and chopped it down with an axe.

"Poof! Poof! The Goguryeo cavalry, hearing only a muffled sound, was horrified to find that their companions in front had been split in half.

Not only that, but the cavalry rushing forward crashed into the wide shield as if it were on the city wall, and the opponent stood still, while the horses neighed and fell to the ground.

The cavalry was like a tide, constantly attacking the heavy party formation in front; The heavily armored foot soldiers are like reefs and gears, constantly grinding the cavalry into pulp.

The axemen rushed forward and chopped down with an axe, and then another person rushed out from their side and chopped down with an axe again; The first few rows of tower shield soldiers withstood the first wave, and then followed behind the axe soldiers, the second row, and the third row directly leaned the tower shield on the shoulder and hit it.

Yuan Gai Suwen, following the cavalry, got closer to him and found that these heavy infantry were all very tall, plus long weapons, with hideous masks, like a group of monsters, even he was shocked in his heart, you can imagine how the rest of the cavalry would react.

Yuangai Suwen was just about to rush over and slash, when suddenly the shield in front of him spread out, and rows of people holding long knives appeared. In front of him, neatly slashed down with a sword,

Centaur Equips! This was the only thought in Yuangai Suwen's mind. The cavalry in front of him, without exception, were all split in half.

If the double-edged axe soldier is more about splitting war horses, then the long knife soldier is a man with a horse and chopping together!

On the battlefield, there was no need to think too much, and as the war horse moved forward, Yuan Gai Suwen soon rushed to the front of the sword soldiers.

Perhaps it was seeing him wearing armor, and he was greeted by two long knives and a double salute; It's just that Yuangai Suwen can't feel double the happiness, but is so sad that he wants to vomit blood. The two steel knives bought from Zou Yu were split into two pieces, if he hadn't quickly rolled off his horse, it was estimated that the end would be no different from other cavalry.

Yuangai Suwen rolled on the ground and quickly got up, he was terrified, just now it can be said that he was on the verge of life and death, and walked twice. The first is that he was almost hacked to death by a knife, that is, he believed too much in the steel knife that Zou Yu bought, thinking that it would not be broken by a knife, and he was completely unprepared.

Of course, Zou Yu wouldn't tell him that it was just the first generation of products, or the products he and a group of ordinary blacksmiths made; And the current weapon is already the third generation of mature steel knives, and they are made by the top craftsmen in the world.

The second life-and-death moment was to almost die under the hooves of his own people. The most taboo thing for cavalry charging is to stop suddenly, once it suddenly stops, it will collide with it from behind, and it will form a series of horse accidents, and there will be many casualties; And the most tragic thing is to fall off the war horse, once you fall off the war horse, it is easy to be trampled into meat sauce by the comrades behind you.

A good Yuan Gai Suwen jumped up from the ground, and at the same time flew up, and two steel knives appeared in his hand, stabbing at the long knife soldier!

"Ding ding" twice, the two long knife soldiers were Yuan Gai Suwen, and they took two steps back, but fortunately, the armor was strong, and there was no injury at all.

Yuan Gai Suwen frowned, flew up with a kick, and kicked on the chest of the long knife soldier; The longsword soldiers retreated again and again!

"I..." Yuan Gai Suwen almost vomited blood in anger, but he didn't expect that he kicked with all his strength, but he actually just let an ordinary soldier take a few steps back, and he didn't fly out upside down as expected.

He didn't know that these heavily armored soldiers, tall and tall, were ruthlessly compensated by Zou Yu, at least they weighed one hundred and forty or fifty pounds, plus armor and weapons, how could they be more than two hundred pounds!

With such a heavy guy, the territory must be very stable, how could he be kicked out in a hurry, not to mention that Yuan Gai Suwen is not known for his strength.

Without waiting for him to continue to exert his might, Luo Cheng had already set his eyes on him, rode his horse up, and stabbed out with a shot!

Still looking for "the first ruthless man at the end of the Sui Dynasty" for free?
