"Shoot the arrows!" Yu Wenming ordered loudly.

At the same time, the two sharp arrows in his hand immediately flew out like lightning.

Hearing only two "poof, poof" sounds, two arrows pierced through the left eyes of the two captains of the Korean army, and the force of the sharp arrows was so great that it actually pierced the back of their heads, and the two captains let out a miserable scream, and then fell to the wasteland with a canopy of blood.

And with the issuance of Yu Wenming's military order, the soldiers of the Sui army also shot sharp arrows one after another, and the arrows rained down.

The dozens of Goryeo soldiers who rushed to the front immediately fell to the ground with arrows in the chest, screaming repeatedly.

However, the enemy who was attacked by surprise had no intention of retreating, and they had already reconnoitred and knew that the Sui soldiers escorting the convoy of grain and grass were only more than a thousand people, and they were not elite troops, and with their strength, they should be able to take it in one fell swoop.

Therefore, the officers of the Goryeo Army kept howling and shouting in the rear, urging them to intensify the offensive.

The Koreans in the back continued to rush forward, their arrows not stopping, and their mouths were still shouting, and their momentum was still not suppressed.

I heard a loud "boom", and the flat ground in front of the stone wall at the mouth of the valley suddenly collapsed and became a long and deep trench, about two zhang wide.

The Goryeo infantry rushing ahead suddenly fell in, and the men flipped on their backs, screaming and screaming.

Wei Chi Jingde smiled slightly, last night he commanded the Sui army to take advantage of the night to dig three trenches about 50 zhang long and more than 2 zhang wide, and buried sharpened bamboo pipes in the ditch, and then covered them with branches and weeds, and covered them with some snow as a cover. Now the Goryeo army is really caught in it.

"We also have bows and arrows, let's take out the arrows and shoot at the Sui army!" The Goryeo officer shouted.

When the chaotic Goryeo cavalry heard the order, they immediately took out sharp arrows from the quiver on their backs and began to shoot at the Sui army.

These cavalry of the Goryeo Army were all selected, and their archery skills were indeed much more powerful than those of these Sui soldiers who transported heavy loads, and their shooting was extremely accurate.

This pair fired, and casualties immediately began to appear in the Sui army. A young soldier in his twenties was soon shot in the throat by a stray arrow and fell to the ground with a scream.

But his body was quickly dragged away, and then another man stepped forward, took his place, and continued to bend his bow and shoot at the Koreans.

And the Goryeo troops who were trapped in the ditch also struggled to climb up from the ditch. However, as soon as they climbed to the ground and rushed to the edge of the stone wall, they were stabbed in the heart by the pikemen of the Sui army, who were waiting for them.

The joy on the face of the commander of the Goryeo Army did not last long, and his expression became grim again. Because he found that the cavalry of the Goryeo army not only did not have the upper hand, but was suppressed by the archers of the Sui army.

This was not because they were not good at archery, but because the Goryeo army was all cavalry, and the armor they wore was also very weak, which belonged to light cavalry and had poor protection.

The archers of the Sui army wore iron armor, and there were stone walls and a row of spears and shields in front of them to resist. Most of the arrows fired by the Goryeo army were blocked by shields. Even if a small half pierced through the gap in the shield and shot some unlucky guys. But that's a minority, after all.

A moment later, with Yu Wenming's order, the second round of Lianzhu crossbows was launched again.

After a dense rain of arrows, the Goryeo army that rushed ahead once again dropped more than a hundred corpses.

Although many of them wore armor, after all, they were not heavily armored iron armor, but only a few pieces of iron were mounted on the leather armor, which could not resist the armor-piercing arrows fired by the Sui army's Lianzhu crossbow.

No matter how much the Goryeo army charged, they could not climb the stone wall.

"Let's withdraw first! It seems that these enemies are still a little bit prickly! The commander of the Goryeo Army looked at the situation ahead and couldn't help but sigh.

As the sound of gold sounded, the Goryeo army was relieved, and a centurion led by him shouted, then took the lead and turned around and ran, and the other Goryeo troops immediately retreated like a tide. A few of them who ran slowly died under the arrows of the Sui army, becoming the last few corpses in this battle.

At this time, it was already noon, and both sides planned to rest and recuperate, and then make plans after lunch. The entire valley battlefield fell silent for a moment.

………

In the early spring of the grassland of western Liaoning, the sky is like a blue ocean, beautiful and moving, and there are white clouds floating in the air, which is so quiet and elegant, and the grassland is shrouded in boundlessness.

At this moment, the sun had set in the western sky, and gradually turned golden, and it was cruising above the horizon at the end of the grassland, like pale golden water, flowing all over the sky.

Yu Wenming crouched behind the stone wall, and after carefully observing the situation in front of him, Fang whispered behind him: "Everyone, hurry up!" The enemy has all retreated! ”

Hong Xiu, Guo Ziyi, Wei Chi Jingde and others immediately took several Sui soldiers, with shields, jumped out from behind the stone wall and rushed to the corpses of the enemy. Then, with his hands and feet, he quickly removed the arrows from the corpses of the Goryeo soldiers, and put them in the sacks he carried on his back.

However, at this moment, a Korean man behind Guo Ziyi who was not yet dead got up from the ground and held a spear tightly at his back.

"Ziyi be careful!" Yu Wenming was shocked when he saw this, although he had already seen the enemy's actions and shouted out, but he was far away and had no time to save him.

However, at this moment, a black wolf's tooth arrow was shot like lightning, and an arrow pierced through the left temple of the Korean man, and blood suddenly burst out, and the arrow was extremely powerful, and the arrow drilled out from the right temple of the Korean man, and then stopped advancing.

The goryeo let out a muffled grunt, and then fell headlong.

Guo Ziyi was caught off guard, jumped up in fright, and then took three steps and two steps, carrying the big burlap bag on his back, and ran back like a frightened rabbit.

Although there were at least more than 200 catties of arrows in that pocket, he didn't feel heavy in his hand.

"Damn, these Koreans even pretended to be dead, and they almost lost their lives." Guo Ziyi scolded a few words, then threw the bag containing the arrows to the ground, and said angrily: "Next time, it's time for another team to pick up the arrows, right?" It won't be a few of us anymore, will it? ”

"Ziyi, don't shout! It's getting dark, so beware of the enemy sneaking up on you at night! If you shout like this, you're likely to be targeted by enemy marksmen! Yu Wenming snorted, and the tall and stout Guo Ziyi hurriedly closed his mouth, not daring to say more.

The Goryeo army, which had stolen into the Sui Territory, had entered the territory of Zhuojun fifteen days earlier, and their commander was the well-known Wontaeje in Goryeo. After he led his army into the Sui realm, he had already burned down several small granaries in Zhuo County and annihilated a grain and grass baggage team.

It's just that these actions of theirs also aroused a high degree of vigilance among the Sui army of Zhuo County, and Luo Yi's defense of various armories and granaries was greatly strengthened, leaving him with no chance to take advantage of it.

In desperation, Yuan Taiji hit the idea on the grain and grass baggage team that the Sui army had already set off.

And he soon discovered that although the Sui army was numerous, the queue was too long. The gap between the armies is too great. In particular, they believed that it was impossible to encounter a sneak attack by the Goryeo army in the Sui territory, so the army escorting the grain and grass was generally only one or two thousand people.

So, Yuan Taiji prepared to take the grain and grass baggage team of the Zuo Ling Guard, which was closest to him. In his experience, this large army was located in the middle of the Sui army, and a large army was often on high alert in the vanguard and after the break, while the army in the middle was less vigilant.

Moreover, the Xiaoling River, which this army was about to pass by, happened to have just thawed, and the convoy could not pass through the river, so it had to make a detour to cross the river from upstream. They deviated from their original route of march, giving him an opportunity to take advantage of.

After licking his chapped lips, Yuan Taiji was thinking about countermeasures with a cold gaze, the Goryeo cavalry he led was an elite cavalry selected from various cities in Liaodong, so more than half of them were equipped with armor. The horses are also good horses, suitable for long-distance races.

It's just that because they are cavalry and do not prepare shields, they cannot resist the Sui army's crossbows, and if they want to capture the opponent's Tanikou defensive position, they must come up with a way to effectively resist the Sui army's crossbow arrows.

Yuan Taiji lowered his head and pondered, but he never came up with any good solution. When he subconsciously raised his head, his eyes inadvertently saw a birch forest that had dried up in the distance.

"There's a way!" His eyes lit up and he came up with a brilliant solution.
