Chapter 269: Battle of Goguryeo (3)
"Newspaper~"
"My lord, the river in front of you is blocked."
Gongsun Du's hand paused slightly, and then he sped up the speed of putting on the armor, and at the same time said in his mouth: "What's the matter?" Is something in the way? β
Without waiting for Huang Xu to reply, a huge wave of sound hit.
"The Han army in the river will come up and die quickly!"
Huang Xu was taken aback and said, "The lord ......"
The reason for the blockage of the river is self-evident. Gongsun Du raised his hand to stop Huang Xu, then smiled faintly and said, "I'm really worried that Goguryeo's attention is not attracted!" Now that they're here, it's great, and we can continue our next plans. β
Huang Xuyan's face was relieved when he heard this, and he also smiled. The orders of the plan were all passed down through him, and although the details are not clear, they are still generally known.
With Huang Xu's help, Gongsun Du quickly put on his armor, took the Izumo sword, hung it on his waist, and then came to the deck together.
The north shore of the Mazi River.
Not a few miles away from that side, at least 50,000 Goguryeo cavalry stood densely packed, while still shouting the words "The Han army in the river will come up and die quickly". The sharp-eyed Gongsun Du also found that they had bows and arrows in their hands, thinking that as long as the king of Goguryeo, who led the army, gave an order, at least 50,000 arrows would fly in.
Looking at this, it is very imposing, well, there are so many people, and they are roaring so neatly, the momentum is indeed not low, but Gongsun Du couldn't help laughing.
"Heh, I didn't expect the king of Goguryeo to have some intelligence and know how to defend against the enemy outside the country, hahaha!"
Huang Xu and the others were a little nervous in their hearts, but when they heard Gongsun Du's words and laughter, they all immediately relaxed and followed "haha".
"Haha...... Haha......"
The light-hearted and pleasant laughter fell into the ears of the Goguryeo king and turned into full of sarcasm, disdain, and mockery......
How can the king of Goguryeo accept this, especially the "fear and fear" brought to him by Yangyi before, which made his heartstrings tight, and he was about to break in the last blow, obviously, this is the last blow. The king of Goguryeo was furious and roared hystericallyβ
"Shoot, give this king, shoot them, shoot them to death in the water, shoot them to death in the water!"
"Shoot dead in the water!"
When the Goguryeo cavalry heard this, they drew their bows and fired arrows and galloped towards the battleships on the river.
"Defense~"
Needless to say, the ships erected shield walls one after another, and Huang Xu, who was close to Gongsun Du's left, shouted even more, and hundreds of soldiers held shields to protect Gongsun Du in the middle.
Gongsun Du looked at the attacking Goguryeo cavalry without any worry, without him, the distance between the battleship and the river was still thirty or fifty zhang, far away, even if the Goguryeo cavalry fired arrows with the power of rushing forward, there would not be too many arrows falling on the battleship.
After sweeping his eyes and not caring about it, Gongsun Du turned his head to Cheng Pu and said, "Commander Cheng, how familiar are those things on the battleship?" β
Cheng Pu's originally tense face suddenly changed to a faint smile, obviously very satisfied with the things in Gongsun Du's mouth.
"Lord, although I don't dare to say that I will hit every shot, but with such a dense formation of their group of potatoes and eggs, I'm afraid it will be difficult to think of it!" Cheng Pu heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and replied with humor at the moment.
"Hahaha! Commander Cheng really knows my heart! β
Gongsun Du laughed and said, "Okay, pass on the order and greet them with seventy percent of the 'ammunition'." β
"Seventy percent?"
Cheng Pu hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, lord!" β
Gongsun Du didn't say anything about Cheng Pu's questioning, but just patted him on the shoulder.
Ding, ding......
A burst of big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate pulled Gongsun Du's attention over.
As expected, more than half of the arrows were exhausted in the air and fell into the water, a few of them hit the hull, some fell into the water, some of the tail feathers fluttered and buzzed, or they were shot into the boat, and they were caught by the shield, making a clanging sound.
"Huh! It seems that Goguryeo also has people who are born with divine powers! Gongsun Du swept a few arrows over the hull of the boat and fell on the water on the other side, and his heart couldn't help but be happy, and sighed.
Huang Xu said seriously: "Goguryeo, as well as Xianbei Buyeo and other ethnic groups have a large population, and they are congenitally good at shooting, and it is nothing if a few people have this ability. β
Listening to Huang Xu's vindictive words, Gongsun Du smiled faintly and didn't say anything. How did Huang Xu know what Gongsun Du was thinking in his heart: I hope these people's luck can be better, don't wait to be stoned to death or shot to death, when the battle to destroy Gao is over, it will be all my people! When the time comes, whether you continue to serve as a cavalry soldier or become a heavy shield soldier, it will be excellent.
There were more than 80 warships in total, and Gongsun Du believed that he would not be the only one who had such a situation, and there were more or less many other warships. As for the question of whether people are willing to surrender at that time, Gongsun Du is not worried at all, or even if he has Zhu Yamu before, he is still worried about whether he can successfully subdue the remaining Goguryeo, but after Cheng Pu came back with so many seeds, he is not worried.
Alive, live better, whether it is the Han people who can barely eat enough, or the Xianbei, Buyeo, Goguryeo and Lou Ru tribes who have to go south to plunder many times without enough food, Gongsun Du believes that in the case of extermination becoming inevitable, as long as they are given a chance, they will accept it, at least most people will accept it.
Dingdingding......
The second wave of arrows rained down less on the battleships, as their momentum was much smaller than the first. At this time, the protruding black cloth on more than 80 warships was lifted, and there were also small holes in the hull that ordinary people would not notice, and the number of different warships was different, but it added up to a lot.
Before the Goguryeo cavalry had time to wonder what it was, they saw a head-sized UFO flying from it, and black shadows followed it, all falling into their formation.
One by one, the Goguryeo cavalry was broken into half of their bodies, or they were strung into gourd strings, or they were ...... Before they even had time to scream, they died on the spot, only those unlucky war horses did not die immediately because they were too big, and they were wailing there!
The sudden rise of the accident disrupted the Goguryeo cavalry, and the third wave of arrows seriously deviated from the direction, and only a few fell on the battleship to continue to do useless work, perhaps they should be more fortunate that they did not accidentally injure their own people.
Bang, Bang......
Hearing the catapults and ballistae that would be powerful again so quickly, Gongsun Du couldn't help but nod and said, "Demou is really quite talented in the command of the navy, although this improved catapult and ballista can be launched faster, but it is also inseparable from its excellent command ability. β
"Catapults? Bed ballista? β
On the other hand, the king of Goguryeo recognized these two things, and his face couldn't help but change greatly. The ballista was an improvement on the bed crossbow, but the difference was that it was much smaller and lighter, but the range was not much reduced. This improvement is so that when the sailors need to go ashore to fight, they can also have a powerful attack weapon.
"Retreat~"
The king of Goguryeo also knew that it was irrational to fight with Gongsun Du in such a situation, so although he hated Gongsun Du so much, he had to order a retreat.
"When the Han army comes ashore, fight with it again and take revenge!"
In the last sentence, the king of Goguryeo roared, which shows how angry he was. His eyes glared fiercely at the dozens of warships in the middle of the river, and the king of Goguryeo was the first to retreat.
During the retreat of the Goguryeo cavalry, two more waves were fired, killing thousands of enemy troops.
"Lord, my subordinates are ashamed that they failed to use up seventy percent of the stone bullets and crossbow arrows." Cheng Pu said to Gongsun Du with a look of shame.
"Heh~" Gongsun Du laughed angrily, and said angrily, "If you think so, then give you a chance, catch up and kill them!" β
"Huh? The lord laughed! Cheng Pu suddenly sneered.
Gongsun Du no longer paid attention to Cheng Pu, turned his head to Huang Xu and said, "Pass on the order, go ashore immediately, and chase and kill the thief!" β
"Yes, my lord!"
Huang Xu sent the order, and Gongsun Ducai said to Cheng Pu again: "When we go ashore, you immediately clear the trees and other things blocking the river surface, and then continue to move forward until you reach Marudu." β
"Yes, my lord!"
Gongsun Du then also went ashore under the escort of his own soldiers. I don't know if the king of Goguryeo was afraid of throwing stones and ballistas, or whether he didn't understand the truth of attacking them halfway, but he and his 11,000 horsemen went ashore smoothly.
In this regard, Gongsun Du thanked Bumin and was not polite at all, and immediately reorganized the army and divided it into two ways......
