"Report, general, the Tang army is coming to our city, and now, it is less than twenty miles away from here!"

In Liaodong City, their scout team finally came to report, and this was deliberately put back by Yang Qiao, perhaps, he had a very wonderful idea.

"Da Lang, ah, general, why do you want to put the other party's scouts back, aren't they all wiped out along the way, and besides, we haven't arrived at the location of the camp yet?"

"Brother-in-law, boy, you all remember, this war impermanence, that's what it means, perhaps, the other party's general is a megalomaniac, and it is very likely to be a megalomaniac, but, specific things, to be specifically analyzed, if it is Silla, or Baekje I don't think so, they are a little weak, naturally, they don't have any arrogant capital now, and this Goguryeo, there will definitely be such capital, even, I guess, in the cities on both sides, the guards, will definitely be a little weak, and here, It's more likely to be arrogant, so let's do some analysis for yourselves. ”

"Huh!"

The stinky boy scratched his head, naturally, he didn't listen, one was young, and the other was really a pure general's idea, and it would be a battle if he could fight.

And the brother-in-law Sun Chong is different, a literati, and he has been aggrieved for a long time under the suppression of his father, this has a chance, naturally, he also wants to perform well, but unfortunately, Yang Qiao didn't want to hear him explain, just let him think about it himself, perhaps, after this first battle, he will listen to his explanation.

"Huhuhaha, good, good, good, there is a way in heaven that you don't go, there is no door in hell, you come to vote, come and come, pass my order, prepare 100,000 cavalry for me, prepare for an attack, I want him to fail before he can gain a foothold, and even, I want to catch the kid who insulted us back, so that Li Er can raise his face, huhuhaha, change clothes."

Sure enough, a very arrogant person, and this is his own request, arrogant person, guessing arrogant things, he thinks that this Tang Jun will definitely fight here first, he feels that his temper is right with Yang Qiao's temper.

Whoever is with you, you think too much.

"All of them, hasten forward, and march three miles from the city, and five miles from the city from the infantry dismount, and give the horses to the cavalry."

What is less than twenty miles, in fact, it is already less than ten miles, it can be seen that the general defending the city is arrogant, since it was determined that Liaodong City was the first target to attack, they did not find a few scouts on the other side.

However, the other party is arrogant, and he also has the qualifications to be arrogant, why, Yang Qiao is a team of 20,000 this time, naturally, everyone knows it, so he knows, it is normal, if you say, 200,000, you can't deal with 20,000, it's all a joke, you know, before, or many years ago, but more than 100000 teams came, all failed, not to mention 20,000, this is also the reason for Goguryeo's arrogance.

"Three miles from the city?"

Whether it is Changsun Chong, or the staff officers, they are all a little stunned, and the generals who lead the team, the generals who lead the team, naturally, are the generals under Yang Qiao, this Changsun Chong, as well as Cheng Chumo, and the staff officers, are Yang Qiao's people, but the team, but they are not brought by them, these words are a little awkward, but that's it, or rather, Yang Qiao and others are the main commanders, but there are other people who lead the troops, they don't participate in the command, just watch, or also start the role of the staff officer.

"What kind of formation is this, what are the soldiers on the other side doing with a stick, and the horizontal knife inserted next to it can be seen that it is a weapon, and also, the dirt on the body is also armor?"

This is the armor that Yang Qiao determined after many tests, and it is also the public armor, paper armor, which is made of kraft paper and other paper filaments.

Or, to put it paradoxically, can your own spear be against your own shield?

Yang Qiao has been tested, forty meters, this is the killing range of the crossbow, and thirty meters is the killing range of his own sharp arrows, that is to say, only within this range, will it shoot through the paper armor.

Other weapons, such as knives and spears, need to hit a place many times in a row to be possible, but, on the battlefield, can there be multiple strikes, and there is also the arrow of Goguryeo, Yang Qiao has also tested, twenty meters, this is still the killing range of the infantry, and the cavalry, even shorter.

This cavalry is shorter than the infantry archery distance and killing distance, which was verified by some experts in Yang Qiao's previous life, and Yang Qiao didn't believe in these experts, so he also specially did this test, sure enough, the infantry used the same angular bow, and the range of lethality was about one hundred and fifty meters, naturally, this was in the absence of armor, and the specific situation should be determined according to the armor, cavalry, within seventy meters, this is a running horse, a horse running at high speed, this distance is closer, the horse stands still, and will shoot farther.

Therefore, at this time, Yang Qiao's array is like this, this is a flat formation, that is, the left and right are long, the front and back are narrow, and the cavalry is preparing in the rear, if the infantry in front is not successful, they can attack quickly, however, in Yang Qiao's design, there is no such possibility.

But what about the square vehicles between the cavalry and the infantry?

Originally, these vehicles were loaded with wheelbarrows and pulled by horses, but now, the wheelbarrows below have been removed and directly pulled by horses, but there are not many such square cars.

In the back, craftsmen are busy cutting down trees and trimming them, and it is clear that their task is to make improvised equipment.

"Huhuhaha, open the city gate, line up one mile away from the enemy outside the city gate, put down the bow and arrow in your hand, and charge directly."

"Is this a crossbow?"

As soon as the general came out of the city gate, the team in front of Yang Qiao, standing on the handle, they didn't understand the weapon and lifted it, this turned out to be a crossbow, a crossbow with huge lethality, this is the legendary Han strong crossbow, it is said that at that time in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was with this strong crossbow that defeated the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Huns.

When the general saw the crossbow, his eyes straightened all at once.

Fortunately, fortunately, the other party doesn't have many crossbows of this kind, just look at the archers in the back, because at this time, the archers in the back also raised the bows in their hands, and even, they were carrying two pots of arrows behind them.

"Archers ready, second arrow!"

This is another new order, it turned out to be something that Changsun Chong had never heard of, what the No. 2 arrow, the No. 1 arrow, is it, the arrow, there is a difference, naturally, the arrow is different.

In fact, this three miles away from the city is a very aggrieved thing, for the Goguryeo army, why, it is generally in the range of five miles to ten miles, but this Yang Qiao actually advanced directly to three miles, in fact, he is also gambling, betting that the opponent's team is not so quickly assembled, in fact, it is not a bet, that is, the army before Yang Qiao's training in the Tang Dynasty will not be organized in such a short time, so Yang Qiao will easily line up three miles away from the opponent's city, even, He also used a crossbow to force the other party to wait for the team to line up before starting to attack, and sure enough, the other party's general was frightened by this crossbow, but when he reacted, the personnel formation was also completed.

What are the benefits of this for Yang Qiao?

Where is it, the personnel are dense, you know, this army is fighting, the arrow is not aimed at shooting, which is equivalent to saying that this arrow is learned according to probability, and the crossbow in front is possible to aim, but this crossbow, Yang Qiao did not let them aim, but also needed to use tactics.

Why does the other party have to have a mile away from their side, this, the horse runs, does not need a starting distance, and the other party's general is not afraid of the crossbow, what is the reason, that is, this crossbow, strong is strong, but the rate of fire is too slow, when their horses run, wait for the range of the crossbow, that is, between 150 meters and 200 meters, this crossbow, its rate of fire is about 40 seconds, that is, at most, shoot three times, this crossbow is useless, but, this thing, is this really the case?
