Xue Li and Xi Jun bought the action very quickly!

After the 10,000 infantry disembarked, they immediately chose the site of the array, and then the special sappers were busy around; In the distance, the hot air balloon battalion led by Zhu Fufu is also making auxiliary preparations.

Since it was difficult to carry a large number of war horses on the ship, the soldiers and horses brought by Li Kuan, the chief of the Pyongyang Provincial March, were destined to be mainly infantry.

So how to deal with the cavalry, the king of war, is a problem that needs to be considered in advance.

For this reason, before setting out on the expedition, Li Kuan also asked various workshops to make a batch of equipment overnight.

Now it seems that it is really going to be used.

"Chun Yu shopkeeper, do you say that His Royal Highness the King of Chu can beat the Goguryeo people with such an arrangement? This 10,000 infantry army is almost all the forces on the ship that can arrange to get off the ship to fight, and it looks very powerful, but after all, it is only an infantry army, if the Goguryeo people send a cavalry to attack, how can they resist it?"

At the rear of the fleet, Chun Yubo and a group of merchants could also see the preparations of the Tang army.

Normally, when the army begins to attack, it means that the merchants are about to begin to reap the fruits of victory.

However, seeing the layout in front of them, many businesses are hanging in their hearts.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is like a god with soldiers, what you can think of, can he not think of it?"

Although Chun Yubo was also a little worried in his heart, he didn't dare to show it.

As a representative of Dengzhou businessmen, Chun Yubo's attitude represents Chun Yujia's attitude to a certain extent.

And Chun Yu's family is now completely dependent on the side of the Chu Wangfu, so they can live a good life.

Chun Yubo, as the spokesperson of Chun Yuji, naturally did not dare to say anything unfavorable to Li Kuan.

"That being said, the current situation is a bit worrying. That Goguryeo, after all, is also a powerful country that has experienced a hundred battles, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu despises the other party so much, I am worried that I will suffer when the time comes. ”

"The sailors of Goguryeo have been destroyed, and now there is not a single warship; Even if the war is unfavorable, they don't know that it threatens everyone's safety, so they can't swim over and attack you, right? ”

Chun Yubo couldn't think of anything good to defend Li Kuan, so he had to comfort these businessmen in turn.

And while Datang was busy here, the soldiers in Pyongyang were already preparing for the afternoon expedition.

"San Lang, after the meal at three o'clock in the afternoon, the army began to go out of the city; I have just confirmed on the city wall, since this morning, the Tang army has taken the initiative to disembark, although they got off the boat to dig some fortifications around, but in half a day, it is impossible to make any preparations, this is completely to give us credit. ”

Next to Yuan's male birth, Quan Wanming was happily talking there.

Originally, as the defender of Pyongyang City, after discovering that the Tang Army had come outside the city, he immediately ran to Yuangai Suwen to report with a stream of urine, which can be described as a sharp drop in his image.

Now thinking that he can personally lead the army to destroy the Tang army, Quan Wanming feels that he can get his face back.

10,000 elite cavalry against the 10,000 infantry army of the Tang Army, even Quan Wanming, who doesn't know much about warfare, is full of confidence.

Not to mention that Yuangai Suwen also sent several surrounding cities to rescue the 10,000 cavalry of Pyongyang City, and also arranged to assist Yuannan to attack.

Such a battle can't be won, and Quan Wanming feels that it is unreasonable.

"The waiter has come to report, saying that there are only about 10,000 people who have disembarked from the Tang army, of which more than ninety percent are infantry troops, and there are not a few war horses; I was worried about how to lure Tang Jun off the ship, but I didn't expect to encounter a pillow when I was sleepy. General Quan, when you get out of the city, it's up to you to perform, and strive to return to the city before sunset for a celebration banquet! ”

Yuan Nan seemed to see the great credit to himself.

Aya really hurts herself!

Such a great achievement is almost like a reward for himself.

This is much more powerful than the eldest brother going to attack Silla, and the second brother going to Murowei and Inja to find reinforcements.

"Good! The last general will definitely not disappoint your expectations, just take 10,000 people, under the impact of our 20,000 cavalry, not to mention an afternoon, they can withstand for an hour, I will admire the courage of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. ”

After Quan Wanming finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing.

Before, everyone thought that he relied on nepotism to become the defender of Pyongyang City.

After today, we must impress everyone.

……

In the afternoon, the sun is shining!

The river breeze blowing from the Datong River took away a trace of heat.

From time to time, a flock of crows flew by in the sky, as if they had a premonition that there would be an opportunity to feed themselves below.

Knock knock!

As the Goguryeo cavalry left the city one after another, they began to assemble in the open space at the gate of the city, and then trotted towards the position of the Tang army, and drums began to sound in the army.

Under the mobilization of Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai, the infantry of more than 10,000 people quickly moved.

The front row is densely packed with crossbow arrows.

Although this special repeater cannot produce all the arrows at once, it can fire the first ten crossbow arrows in the quiver box without interruption.

And after firing, as long as you replace the quiver box, you can immediately fire ten more crossbow arrows.

This firing efficiency, I don't know how many times faster than the archers.

To put it mildly, just these two hundred crossbow arrows are enough to harvest a wave of Goguryeo heads.

Not to mention that there is a row of taller bed crossbows behind the crossbow arrows, providing more long-range fire support for the army.

"Rengui, everything is ready, just wait for the Goguryeo people to charge!"

Xi Junmai was dressed in chain mail and rode a horse to Xue Li's side.

Although this would have allowed him to attract more Goguryeo arrows, in order to facilitate command, the main generals of the Tang army rode on horses.

Of course, one man and one horse, except for four eyes exposed, the rest of the place is covered with special chain mail, and they are not afraid of ordinary arrow attacks at all.

Unless your luck is really that bad and someone shoots you in the eye!

However, Xi Junmai did not think that the Goguryeo people had such an opportunity.

"This set of tactics of the prince's infantry against cavalry is used for the first time today, and I am a little looking forward to how big the results will be. I just heard from the scouts that the Goguryeo people sent 20,000 cavalry, and according to normal operations, we must at least double our strength before it is possible to successfully fight the cavalry with infantry, otherwise it will be a one-sided massacre. ”

Xue Rengui didn't have any worry on his face!

Although the number of Goguryeo's cavalry was more than he had imagined, he was still very calm when he thought of the various arrangements made this morning.

"In the words of the prince, in the face of absolute equipment superiority, no matter how brave the Goguryeo people are, it is useless; Not to mention that we not only have an advantage in equipment, but also in tactics, and even in morale, we are not at all worse than the Goguryeo people. ”

As a fierce general, Xi Junmai has never taken the Goguryeo people in his eyes.

If Li Kuan allowed it, he would dare to single-handedly attack the Goguryeo army.

"Woo......"

With the sound of the trumpet, the Goguryeo people in the distance began to slowly increase the speed of their horses.

This cavalry attack is not to run with all its strength at the beginning, but to calculate the time, slowly accelerate, and when the two sides attack, the horse's speed is just the fastest.

Obviously, the Goguryeo people also had a relatively in-depth study of the methods of cavalry warfare.

"Boom! Boom! ”

With the sound of horses' hooves, the ground began to shake slightly.

20,000 cavalry came overwhelmingly towards the Tang Army.

At this time, the hot air balloon battalion led by Zhu Fufu had also risen into the air and was slowly moving towards the front of the military formation.

However, the Goguryeo people seemed to have prepared for the attack of the hot air balloon camp, and the cavalry was rushing forward in a scattered formation.

Although dropping fire oil bombs in this case can also have a certain effect, the real lethality is still very limited.

Obviously, Zhu Fufu also has a clear understanding of this.

Therefore, after the hot air balloon battalion took off, it did not immediately go towards the Goguryeo army, but slowly moved to the sky about 100 meters in front of the military formation, waiting for the Goguryeo people to attack.

"San Lang, I have long heard about the role of the Tang Army's hot air balloons, just these less than a hundred hot air balloons, at most, can bring us thousands of injuries, without affecting the overall situation."

In the rear of the Goguryeo army, Kwon Wanming followed Yuan Nansan's side, pointing to the hot air balloon in the distance, quite high-spirited.

"I heard that Li Kuan, ten years ago, he defeated the 20,000 elite cavalry of the Western Turks by relying on a hot air balloon. Hehe! He didn't think he would be so lucky this time, would he? ”

Yuan Nanchan thought of the scene of the Goguryeo cavalry breaking into the opponent's army formation for a while, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.

The Yuan family controls ninety percent of Goguryeo's troops, and as the third son of Yuan Gai Suwen, Yuan Nanchan is naturally also skilled in soldiers and horses, and has some ability.

Otherwise, Yuangai Suwen would not have handed over the 20,000 troops to him to command.

"Who knows! 10,000 infantry against 20,000 cavalry, he Li Kuan really thinks he is the reincarnation of the god of war? We'll teach him what real war is! ”

Seeing that the two armies were about to enter the battle distance, Quan Wanming felt that his heartbeat was a little faster, and he didn't hold back a breath of urine in his abdomen, and he peed out directly.

However, after urinating half of it, Quan Wanming reacted immediately, and hurriedly tightened the chrysanthemum and choked the second half of the urine.

After doing this, he also looked at the Quartet a little weakly.

Fortunately, everyone was on horseback, and no one noticed Kwon Wanming's abnormality.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

After a while, several loud noises sounded one after another in front of me, and then I saw some Goguryeo soldiers on their backs and being blown into the air.

Some of the horses around that were not bombed were affected by the sound of bombing, and there was also some confusion.

In the cavalry charge, there was only forward, not backward.

At this time, whoever stops, or falls, or retreats, will be greeted by the horse's hooves behind, and eventually turn into a mess of mud.

"These Tang people are really hateful, they don't dare to fight us openly, but they use such shady tricks!"

The Yuan man, who was in command in the rear, saw the scene in front of him clearly.

With a "boom" sound, many Goguryeo soldiers turned into meat paste before they touched the fur of the Tang army.

At this moment, the face of the Yuan boy is as ugly as it must be.

However, there were such weapons in the Tang army, and he had known about it for a long time.

So this scene didn't completely scare him.

"San Lang, this kind of thing will only make the pace of the army's progress stagnate a little, and it will not affect the overall situation!"

Quan Wanming also showed a rare bit of his military literacy.

"Order, the Chinese army attack! We must rush forward with all our strength and destroy this hateful Tang army! ”

Originally, Yuan Nan felt that there was no need for 20,000 people to charge together, leaving 5,000 people to press the rear with him.

However, seeing Tang Jun using such shameful means against them, Yuan Nan couldn't help but want to further shorten the time that Tang Jun lived in this world.

On the Datong River, on the mast of the flagship, Li Kuan and Wang Xuance were each holding a pair of binoculars, watching this cross-era infantry battle with relish.

"Lord Wang, this mine is buried underground, and the power is still good. If it weren't for the fact that the mines were not easy to carry, we would have just buried more gunpowder on the road where the Goguryeo cavalry passed, and it was estimated that we could directly kill thousands of Goguryeo cavalry! ”

"The power of gunpowder is still a bit insufficient, and mines loaded with five or six catties of gunpowder are only so powerful, and in fact they cannot bring a fundamental obstacle to the impact of cavalry."

Li Kuan's vision is obviously much higher than Wang Xuance.

Although the scene of the mine explosion in the distance looks very hot, it does not really kill many Goguryeos.

On the contrary, the number of Goguryeo people who were frightened and fell off their horses and trampled to death was even higher.

"Landmines are just an appetizer for the Goguryeo people, and it's already very good to have the effect it has now. Judging from the formation, after encountering landmines, the Goguryeo people were obviously a little confused. ”

"Well, we're about to cross the minefield, and what happens next is the most important thing!"

After Li Kuan finished speaking, he stared intently at the scene in the telescope, for fear of missing any shots.

This tactic used by himself is a classic trick for infantry to deal with cavalry in the era of hot weapons.

Nowadays, there is a lack of hot weapons, and with the combination of bed crossbow and crossbow arrows, I don't know what the effect will be.

"Adjust the altitude and get ready for the attack hot air balloon!"

In the sky, Zhu Fufu, who had not moved all this time, also began to give orders.

Next to his hot air balloon, there are dozens of special hot air balloons that look significantly different from other hot air balloons.

The pouches of these hot air balloons are specially processed to withstand ordinary arrow shots.

Next to the gondola, there is a special crossbow bolt hanging, and the operating mechanism of the crossbow bolt is installed in the gondola, and through the cooperation of three people, the crossbow bolt can be loaded, adjusted and shot.

This is what Zhu Fufu said about attacking hot air balloons.

……

Quan Si is the righteous son of Quan Wanming!

Because of his extraordinary skills, Quan Wanxin arranged him as today's striker.

He also lived up to expectations, and always rode his horse to the front.

Perhaps it was better luck that along the way, none of his horses stepped on a mine.

It will be the courage of a soldier!

Kwon Si Chong was at the forefront, giving the Goguryeo generals in the back great courage, and the morale of the people who had just been affected by the mine explosion had been somewhat improved.

"These Tang dogs, so despicable, will definitely cut off your heads and put them all at the gate of Pyongyang City, and make them into a huge Beijing statue."

Quan Si rushed forward while half-lying on his horse, thinking about what to do with the Tang army after the battle.

"I heard that General Eulji Wende defeated the Sui army in Liaodong City and became the most famous general of Goguryeo in one fell swoop; If you can defeat the Tang Army today, no, you will definitely be able to defeat the Tang Army, and you will be able to become a famous general by then, right? ”

Seeing that Datang's military formation was getting closer and closer, Quan Si's eyes began to be bloodshot, and the arm holding Da Da in his hand was bruised.

"Poof!"

Suddenly, Kwon Si felt his head fly.

Then he found that his head was separated from his body, and there was no aftermath after that!

The same scene also happened to other soldiers around Quan Si.

The Goguryeo cavalry, which was originally indomitable, suddenly slammed it, and countless blood flowers appeared in the air.

However, the people behind couldn't see what was happening in front of them at all, and they reflexively continued to whip their horses and continue to rush forward.

"Poof!"

"Ahh

"Hiss~"

The screams and the sound of horses mingled together, forming a visible wall of corpses.

When the Yuan boy in the back saw this scene, his eyes were about to fall out.

"General Quan, what's going on? Could it be that the Tang Army will not succeed in the demon law? ”

"This ...... San Lang, I haven't seen this situation before! It's so strange, it's clear that the Tang army hasn't started to release arrows yet, why did they fall? ”

Yuan's face suddenly became unsightly.

However, under the charge of 20,000 cavalry, the army, which had paused for a moment, seemed to have broken through some obstacle and soon continued to move forward.

It's just that just a few minutes of stagnation brought more than a thousand deaths and injuries to the Goguryeo people, which Yuan Nansan would never have imagined.

"Whew! I finally rushed over, and soon I will enter the range of bows and arrows, but I want to see what other moths the Tang Army can come up with. ”

Seeing that the army would soon continue to rush forward, Yuan Nansan's heart that had just hung was finally relieved.

Datang's national strength is really extraordinary, and today's war is not as simple as he imagined.

Yuan Nan's mind couldn't help but float through this thought.

"San Lang, look! This...... How did this stall again? ”

Yuan Nanchan didn't be happy for a few seconds, and Quan Wanming's words interrupted his good mood.

I saw that at the front of the Goguryeo cavalry, just like just now, the heads of many people flew up in the air, as if some invisible weapon was harvesting their heads.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

This time, the luck of the Goguryeo people was not so good.

The Goguryeo cavalry, which had already entered the range of the bed crossbow, ushered in the crossbow arrows rushing from the Tang army.

The crossbow arrows used in bed crossbows are all as thick as children's arms, and when an arrow comes down, a string of Goguryeo people can be directly stupefied.

The phalanx of Goguryeo cavalry, which was originally advancing rapidly, once again stopped there.

The front can't move forward, and the back is constantly rushing forward.

Zhu Fufu, who overlooked this battle situation from the air, found a clearly visible trace.

This trace is made up of the corpses of horses and the corpses of Goguryeo.

Because of this attack with a bed crossbow, the Goguryeo people spent a much greater price to keep the phalanx moving forward.

At this time, the Yuan male in the rear was already a little weak in his heart.

Although there are no statistics, the Goguryeo cavalry has lost at least 3,000 people until now.

And what about the Tang Army?

Not a single wounded soldier has yet appeared!

How to fight this battle?

Fortunately, there were less than two hundred steps left between the two sides, and some anxious Goguryeo people had already begun to shoot in the direction of the Tang army array.

However, from such a distance, these shots would not have brought any harm to Datang at all.

"Attack the hot air balloon sortie!"

Seeing that the Goguryeo people had rushed over the warning line, Zhu Fufu in mid-air finally issued an order.

Soon, a batch of hot air balloons in the sky quickly dropped in height, and then with the neighing of crossbow arrows across the sky, the Goguryeo cavalry ushered in the crossbow arrows falling from the sky.

Although there were only a few dozen hot air balloons, thousands of crossbow arrows were launched in a short period of time.

In the face of the Goguryeo cavalry below, which was once again stagnant, these crossbow arrows directly harvested the lives of a group of Goguryeo people.

The dense cavalry gathered below, and there was no way to dodge the crossbow arrows that fell from the sky.

"Charge! Keep charging! ”

The Yuan man, who saw this scene from a distance, turned pale.

However, at this time, he had no other choice but to give the order to continue the charge.

If Ming Jin withdraws his troops, not to mention whether he can retreat smoothly, even if he retreats, his future will be over.

20,000 cavalry against 10,000 Tang infantry, but they were defeated and returned.

How will he be mixed in Goguryeo in the future?

"Lord Wang, the barbed wire is combined with the bed crossbow and crossbow arrows, I didn't expect the effect to be even better than I imagined!"

On the mast, Wang Xuance couldn't help but sigh.

Although he was very confident in the tactics arranged by Li Kuan, the results were so great that they were really beyond his imagination.

"This is also a mental calculation, no one thought that there would be barbed wire in front of the battlefield. The swift forward cavalry crashed into the wire, and even the most brave soldiers had to lie down obediently. ”

In Li Kuan's mind, he couldn't help but think of a scene of cavalry charging and encountering barbed wire, and then heavy machine guns harvesting cavalry like straw.

It's a pity that my own broken system can't be exchanged for thermal weapons.

Otherwise, directly on both sides of the military formation, a few heavy machine guns are placed crosswise, where is there any need for such trouble now?

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

In the middle of the battlefield, the Goguryeo people, who had once again fought with a large number of casualties and walked less than 100 paces, once again ushered in the dense shooting of crossbow arrows in the Tang army's formation.

After several stops, the speed of the cavalry had long since slowed down.

Although in this way, unnecessary losses caused by the front and rear impacts were avoided, but the cavalry lost speed, and the deterrent power dropped by countless levels at once.

At this time, when they encountered the attack of crossbow arrows and the fire oil bombs that had been waiting for a long time from the sky, the Goguryeo people were completely confused.

No one has ever fought such a battle.

Before the two sides made contact, half of their own side had already fallen.

The whole formation is all messed up.

Some of the timid Goguryeo people have already begun to turn their horses' heads and want to escape.

Some people moved forward, some people wanted to run, and the military formation of the Goguryeo people was completely chaotic.

In this scenario, in the face of countless crossbow attacks, the Goguryeo people were simply sent to death.

And the Yuan man, who saw this scene in the rear, collapsed directly!

"Impossible! No way! I must be dreaming! General Kwon, I'm having a nightmare, right? ”

However, Quan Wanming didn't have time to answer his question, but turned the horse's head and ran to the side!

At this time, he did not dare to run back to Pyongyang City, and there was no good fruit to eat when he ran back.

But he didn't want to stay and die, and running away was the best option.

As for where he can run, it's not a question he can think about now
