In the early morning of the next day, the vast mountains were wrapped in a white morning light, and Yuan Taizuo and Yizhi Wende were preparing to send troops!

Yuan Taizuo said solemnly: "The Sui army now occupies the advantage of the fortified city, although the cold water can't hurt people, but it is more terrifying than bows and arrows, rolling wood, and stones, and once we are scattered, but we can't effectively attack the city, there are more than 20,000 Sui troops in South Fuyu City (Danfeng City). Now I don't know how many reinforcements have come, although we have a lot of 110,000 people, but if we continue to attack, even if we recover Nanfuyu City, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses, if the Sui army sends reinforcements again, what should we do? ”

"What Lord Mo Lizhi said is very true, it seems that it is impossible to storm Nanfuyu City, it seems that it can only be outwitted." Yizhi Wende is nearly fifty years old, his hair is gray, and his face is covered with traces of time, but his spirit is very good, his waist is straight, and he is not lost to Pai Taizuo in his early forties in terms of spirit and spirit.

Yuan Taizuo's eyes froze, "How to outwit?" ”

"Although we have temporarily lost Liaodong, this has always been the hinterland of our Goguryeo, and in terms of familiarity with the terrain, the Sui army is far inferior to us! Although the Sui army has reinforcements, the food consumed every day is not a few, as long as our army crosses the Phoenix Mountain and cuts off the grain route of the Sui army, no matter how many troops there are, it will not be self-defeating. Etozhi Wende said confidently.

"I've thought about it too, but we all know that the Sui army is stationed in all the big and small cities, and if we conquer them one by one, how much time will it take? And the Sui army we are facing has no less than hundreds of thousands of horses, can this grain route be cut off? ”

"Don't worry about Lord Mo Lizhi, originally I was worried about this, but if you think about it, the Sui army has been fighting with the Turks, and they need to defend the long border, and they are uneven internally, so they have to divide troops to defend, and the Sui army can't send much troops now, otherwise, Zuo Tiancheng will not defend the city, but directly fight with us head-on."

"Report!"

At this moment, a long voice sounded on the tower of the city of Calm Zhuhancheng, and a Goguryeo warrior rushed in and saluted: "Qi Yu Mo Lizhi, big brother, 20,000 Sui army infantry soldiers are out of Nanfuyu City (Danfeng City) and are heading north." ”

"Heading north?" Yuan Taizuo frowned slightly.

"Isn't it a domestic city?" Ezhi Wende said vigilantly.

Yuan Taizuo's face changed, and he laughed excitedly: "The domestic city was the capital of my Goguryeo more than a hundred years ago, and now it is still one of the three capitals of politics and culture. How can it be so easy to take? It's ridiculous, 20,000 foot soldiers want to take down the domestic city? It's just wishful thinking. ”

Yizhi Wende frowned and said, "Lord Mo Lizhi, that may not be impossible!" It is indeed difficult to take a city when it is prepared, and it is not difficult to take a city if it is completely unprepared. Don't forget, Liaodong was lost by our carelessness. ”

After Yuan Taizuo frowned, he finally couldn't help but sneer: "With only 20,000 foot soldiers, they dare to go out of the city to fight, the Sui army is so bold!" ”

Yizhi Wende shook his head and sighed: "Underestimating the enemy - it is the habit of the Sui army to die without repentance." ”

"Humph! Then let them taste the consequences of underestimating the enemy again! Yuan Taizuo glanced at Yizhi Wende and said, "Please sit in Zhuhan City, and wait for me to gather 70,000 troops to annihilate it outside the city." ”

"Beware of deception!" Oji Wende reminded.

"It's okay!" Yuan Taizuo waved his hand, led a group of sons and nephews to run down the city tower, with his order, 70,000 troops covered the sun with flags, swords and guns like a forest, like a black dragon cruising towards the north of Yalushui, and the killing atmosphere filled the sky.

After chasing for ten miles, he was stunned to find that the Sui army was waiting for him.

The place they chose was an open area, and it was conducive to the battle between the two armies, and Yuan Taizuo began to reorganize his army a mile away from the two sides, and at this moment, a knight rode straight forward, and did not stop until he was a stone's throw away, and asked loudly: "My general has sent me to ask, do you need to rest and rest?" We can wait until you're rested, and it's not too late to attack. ”

"Haha! Arrogant! Before Yuan Taizuo could speak, a group of Yuan clan disciples had already exploded, and the Sui army clearly looked down on them.

"Then tell your general, and then go to war after a stick of incense." Yuan Taizuo smiled coldly, if you have a advantage, you don't take advantage of it, it's a fool.

Hehe, underestimating the enemy and being arrogant is really the tradition of the Sui army.

"After a stick of incense! Wait to die. The knight answered, turned his horse's head and galloped away.

"It's too much to deceive people, leave it!" Yuangai Suwen's face was pale, and he took off his bow and arrows and wanted to shoot this madman to death.

"Don't fall for them!" Yuan Taizuo took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the evil fire in his chest, and said coldly: "Order all the troops to form a formation and prepare to attack!" ”

When the Goguryeo soldiers heard this, they geared up one by one, ready to show the Sui army.

The time of one stick of incense passed quickly, and the 70,000 troops of Goguryeo gathered into seven phalanxes and began to march towards the Sui army.

"Your Highness, these idiots have been sent to the door!" Where Yang Tong was in the army, a soldier conveyed the message in a banner language: "Seven phalanxes, it seems that they want to encircle our army." ”

"Together?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Yang Tong's mouth: "The big shield soldiers are in formation!" ”

"Whoa!"

With Yang Tong's order, one after another flags were played, from the Sui army, out of a row of soldiers holding a big shield, these soldiers had no other weapons, only a rectangular shield higher than a person in their hands, with the military order conveyed, quickly lined up in front of the formation, behind the shield array, a row of soldiers with strong bows and crossbows hidden behind the shields, Goguryeo soldiers could not see the situation behind the shields.

"What is this?" Yuan Taizuo was surprised by the huge shield!

"It should be the new shield of the Central Plains...... Let's do it! ”

Others had seen shields so exaggerated, and the shields were stacked together as if they were impregnable, like the walls of a small city.

"Shoot!"

Yuan Taizuo waved his hand, and a row of crossbowmen quickly stepped forward to shoot at the shield array.

"Bang bang bang!"

The rain of arrows in the sky hit the shield wall and was directly bounced away, and the big shield was wrapped in a layer of cowhide and a layer of iron, and ordinary bows and arrows could not break the shield at all.

"Advance!!"

With Yang Tong's order, the shield array was like a forward city wall, slowly pressing up towards the Goguryeo army.

Yuan Taizuo also ordered: "Shoot!" ”

The rain of arrows pierced the sky, like raindrops, enveloping the shield array in front of it, and fell with a sharp roar!

Yang Tong shouted: "Royal! ”

The soldiers at the back of the shield lined up with their shields tilted slightly.

Arrows rained down on the shield, striking in a series of sounds.

The first wave was blocked, and soon the second wave of arrows came.

After four or five rounds, the Goguryeo army's arrow rain stopped, and the Sui army did little damage except for a limited number of unlucky ghosts.

The Goguryeo army only looked at each other.

"Projectile!"

With Yang Tong's order, a crossbowman quickly came out of the line, they quickly divided into six rows, and came to a distance behind the shield array, these people have a strong crossbow, each of them has two bowstrings, and there are two pulleys on one of the bowstrings, Rao is so, to use this kind of strong crossbow, it still takes two people to use, one person is responsible for calibration, and the other person is responsible for opening the bow, as for the range, the farthest can reach more than six hundred steps, which is equivalent to the farthest range of the Qin crossbow.

This new type of strong crossbow is also the work of the Open Heaven Academy, but it is the first time it has appeared in front of the world, and as for the pulley, it is Yang Dongzhi's initiative

"Ready!"

"Crunch~"

With a dull sound, the soldiers struggled to pull the bowstring and buckle it onto the bracket, and another soldier quickly placed a five-foot-long arrow on the bowstring.

"Put!" With the order of the starting officer, under the horrified eyes of Yuan Taizuo and the others, five thousand sharp arrows five feet long crossed the heads of the crossbowmen in the front row and fell into the phalanx.

"Put!"

There was a muffled sound in the air, the sound of the bowstring crumbling and rebounding, echoing like muffled thunder behind the clouds. Then countless arrows flew out like locusts and slaughtered down on another phalanx!

The sudden rain of arrows stunned the Goguryeo army, and the five-foot-long arrows, not to mention the leather armor of ordinary soldiers, even the shields penetrated directly.

Before Yuan Taizuo could react, he saw rows of soldiers holding crossbows on the shield wall, and Zhang Jin's crossbows were erected on the shield wall, shooting at the Goguryeo army. This wave is a five-shot repeater.

The rain of arrows poured down, and after two or three rounds it stopped, and many corpses were nailed to the ground by the rain of arrows, and there were still fear, despair, and unwilling and incomprehensible looks in a pair of empty eyes.

"Raise your shield to defend!" Yuan Taizuo was also a battle-hardened person, and he was not stunned like those soldiers, so he hurriedly gave orders.

Many shieldmen have round shields, but this time the crossbow arrows are not dense, but with terrifying penetrating power, although the arrows are not as long as the previous five-foot-long arrows, but also two feet long, one arrow after another directly penetrated the wooden shield, nailing the shield hand to the ground, some arrows through the gap, through the soldier's chest and the blood flew away, and the strength did not decrease and then shot through the second person.

"Retreat! Disperse and retreat! Seeing the rows of crossbowmen under the opponent's strong bows and crossbows, there was no chance to resist, Yuan Taizuo could only command the crossbowmen to retreat, hoping to withdraw from the range.

"Buzz!"

Another wave of arrows rained up into the air, and this time it swept directly towards Yuan Taizuo's Chinese army, with a range of more than 600 steps! Yuan Taizuo's face suddenly turned green, and without saying a word, he crawled to the ground and roared, "Climb down!" ”

"Poof! Burst! Burst! ”

The bowstring sounded again, and countless Goguryeo soldiers fell to the ground in pieces.

A few rounds of arrows rained down, and a terrible sound sounded in the sky.

"Boom!"

The ground suddenly shook violently, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from the north and south, and the scattered Goguryeo army was unconsciously attracted to it, but saw two cavalry rushing towards this side.

The cavalry of the Sui army was in full swing, holding a long lance and waving a steel sword, rushing left and right in the Goguryeo rebellion, blood flew everywhere they passed, severed limbs and stumps rose to the sky, and there was a bewitching blood red under the horse's hooves. The whole place is like hell on earth, and it is unbearable.

When the Sui army was ravaging the Goguryeo soldiers, another battlefield was also in full swing.
