After several years of fighting, Yu Ming also knows some ways to watch the dust, although the sound of horses' hooves in the distance is urgent, but the dust is not messy, obviously this leading figure, has a superb ability to control the subordinate. Even if the coming general is not Gao Jianwu himself, he is by no means a mediocre general, and he is one of the ten ** people in Yizhide and Gaisu.

After about a meal, Gaisu hurried to the Five Dragons Valley. When he saw the Sui army that was already in battle at Taniguchi, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, he didn't expect that he was marching so quickly, and he was still a step slower.

He had been fighting with Gao Jianwu for many years, and he could see that the Sui army in front of him was neat, well-equipped, and had high morale, which was better than the Sui army that fought against him by the Yalu River last year. It's not the so-called people's army as imagined at all.

However, Gaisu originally had a long and short mind with Yu Ming, but now that he saw that the enemy army was really a strong enemy, it triggered the competitive heart in his chest, and he wanted to compete with Yu Ming. He has never been afraid of war, he has followed Gao Jianwu for many years, and he has fought even more difficult battles. And his efforts obviously paid off, in the first Sui Dynasty expedition to Goryeo, he fought on the Datong River, annihilated more than 100,000 Sui troops, and killed seven or eight of its main and deputy generals. It was this battle that made him famous in one fell swoop, and he was impressed by various departments in Liaodong.

Now, he is also striving to defeat Yuming head-on through the battle in front of him, making him famous in Liaodong and establishing his status as a famous general in the Goryeo Kingdom.

The order was swiftly transmitted, and Gaisu ordered his men to climb a high slope outside the valley to serve as a temporary command post. At the same time, he also ordered 10,000 soldiers to line up in a half-moon shape at the mouth of the valley to form a perfect arc.

Although the attack power of this half-moon array is slightly inferior to that of the sharp cone formation, it is full of elasticity and can be flexible according to different battle conditions.

Gaisu charged directly in front with 2,000 cavalry, led by his younger brother Gaisuwu. And on each flank, a thousand pikemen were deployed, and under the cover of the archers, they went forward to kill.

At the same time, he also pulled out two partial generals under Gai Suwu to lead a soldier and a horse, hiding behind, ready to rush and cut off the enemy's offensive at any time.

Behind the pikemen were all heavy infantry, marching in a phalanx, armed with spears and broadswords, bows and arrows, and iron shields in case the front could not resist the rout.

With such a formation, there is a cavalry charge and assault in front, and an infantry phalanx in the rear, even if it is strongly attacked by Yuming's cavalry, there is still more strength to counterattack.

Gai Su stood on the high slope, his eyes looked into the distance, only to see countless black dots surging on the horizon in the distance, and in an instant, countless Sui cavalry surged. The momentum is like a rainbow, it is really a tide of soldiers and horses, and the ground shakes the mountains.

He frowned slightly, and said in his heart that Zuo Ling's guards were brave in battle, had a strong impact, and were the strongest troops in the Sui army, which seemed to be really extraordinary.

And what made Gai Su secretly frightened was that he looked over from the high slope, and forty percent of the Sui army on the opposite side were cavalry, although the total number of the other party was also about 10,000, but there were 4,000 cavalry among them, which greatly exceeded the number of his own cavalry. Gai Su frowned secretly, wondering if the troops sent by Yuming to stop him were mainly cavalry? That's not quite right!

For everybody knows that in this hillside valley is not conducive to cavalry attacks, but to infantry combat. Cavalry is good for assault, and infantry is good at attacking fortifications, which is the basic common sense of marching operations. This is also the reason why although he was in a hurry, among the men and horses he brought, mainly infantry.

However, in the blink of an eye, he discovered the peculiarity of the Sui cavalry. In this flat valley, the opposing cavalry was also divided, rushing to the front of all the troops.

One was in the middle, and the other two were running on the flanks, and although they were both galloping rapidly, the cavalry was in no disorder.

The momentum of the Sui cavalry was like a sharp knife, although it was fast, it was not chaotic. It shows that the equestrian skill of the cavalry of the Zuo Ling Guard Army is indeed not comparable to the cavalry of the ordinary Sui Army, which is breathtaking.

Although Gai Su felt that the formation of this Sui army was very strange, it made him feel a little bottomless. But now that the other party has launched an attack, how can he not send it?

So, on the high slope, he immediately ordered the standard-bearer to change the flag and issue an order to meet it. The drummers on the slope also beat the drums hard, beating bursts of sound. Cheer for the soldiers of the Korean Army.

"Brother, you immediately lead your troops to meet it!" Gaisu ordered loudly.

Gai Suwu has always admired this eldest brother very much, and he has only looked forward to him since he was a child. He was also known for his bravery in the Goryeo army. He's the kind of fierce general who gets stronger the enemy, the more aggressive he gets.

After receiving the order to attack, it took only a few moments for his 2,000 cavalry to start the attack, but Gaisuwu only focused on charging forward. His cavalry ran so fast that naturally he quickly opened up a great distance with the pikemen on both flanks.

Gaisu naturally quickly discovered this weakness, his face changed slightly, and he ordered the soldiers to beat the drum and give the order, so that Gaisu would dodge the cavalry to the wings. Engage the heavy infantry behind you. These cavalry were his most elite troops, and they were bound to suffer heavy casualties on both sides in a head-on confrontation with the enemy's elite cavalry. Even if he can inflict huge casualties on the enemy, he can't afford to lose. After all, his capital is not as strong as Yuming. Fighting for people's heads is a big taboo for him.

But where can Gai Suwu take care of a lot, as long as he starts a battle, he is not afraid of death to rush forward and fight fiercely. Seeing that the enemy was coming, his blood was boiling, so he drank heavily, and swung his axe at the opponent and rushed over......

Gai Suwu waved his big knife and shouted forward, the smooth blade surface shining and reflecting in the sun. He secretly thought that the iron-armored heavy cavalry of the Sui army not only wore armor on the cavalry, but even the war horses were also covered with iron armor, and the protection was amazing. But under the chopping of his own long-handled axe, he could only be cut into meat puree. The Sui cavalry in front of him was just ordinary light cavalry, how could he confront his heavy cavalry head-on?

But he may not know that Gaisu suddenly ordered him to change formation. Just because it was clearly seen on the high slopes: the light cavalry of the Sui army, which was originally a crowded cavalry during the charge, suddenly separated from the middle, avoided the front of the Goryeo cavalry, and ran towards the two wings.

Gai Suwu suddenly felt a sense of danger coming. It's a strange feeling, an instinctive human reaction to danger after countless wars. Finally realizing that something was wrong, he ordered his troops to hold off and begin to change formations on Gesu's orders.

However, at this time, the cavalry of the Sui army had already rushed to the front of the ranks of the heavy cavalry of the Goryeo army. The heavy cavalry held their breath and held their long spears, and when the opponent rushed up, they raised their spears and knocked off the enemy's cavalry one by one.

But how could Yu Ming give others the opportunity to pick off his own cavalry with a spear. I saw Guo Yi, who was rushing to the front, shouting: "Everyone throw javelins!" ”

In an instant, these cavalrymen, who were originally running fast, quickly took out a shiny black javelin from their backpacks. Then he hurled it into the crowd of enemy heavy cavalry who were waiting for melee combat.

This is the inspiration that Woo Ming got after throwing a spear and killing Wonji. During this time, when he was preparing for the camp, he ordered the blacksmiths in the camp to build thousands of javelins, and his light cavalry switched to javelins to attack the enemy, so as to make up for the weakness of the enemy's hoplites.

These javelins, about a foot long, were all made of stainless steel, with sharp tips and barbs, which were not easy to remove once they were pierced into the human body. Each cavalryman had such a javelin in his backpack. Therefore, there are only more than a thousand cavalrymen who can be equipped with javelins.

The impact of the javelins thrown by the cavalry at high speed is quite amazing. Although these heavy cavalry of the Goryeo Army were also wearing heavy armor, they could not resist, as long as they were hit by a javelin, they were pierced to the heart, and in a densely populated place, a javelin even penetrated the body of one person in front and pierced the chest of one person behind.

Although these heavy cavalry had strong attack power, they had no shield protection except for the armor on their bodies, so they suffered heavy casualties under this wave of javelin attacks. All of a sudden, there were screams and cries in the Five Dragons Valley, and Gaisu's most elite heavy cavalry suffered a heavy blow, and the formation was in chaos.

The half-moon-shaped arc that Gaisu had put forward first instantly dented. Although his soldiers did not flinch in fear. But the men in front were shot through by the javelins in rows and died, while the people behind failed to make up for it, and the formation inevitably loosened.

At this time, under the command of Guo Yi, the light cavalry, which had been separated from the two wings, circled around, returned to the front of the enemy, and began to run again for a second round of javelin projection.

At this time, although some of the heavy cavalry were already moving to the flanks, let the heavy infantry behind them come up to resist the enemy. However, most of them are still in place in accordance with Gaisuwu's previous orders. In this way, it became a live target for the javelin. Many people were pierced like hedgehogs and fell down with a bang.

Gaisu couldn't bear it anymore at this time, and immediately ordered Gaisuwu to lead the heavy cavalry to retreat, and the heavy infantry behind him used shields and bows and arrows to fight the enemy. And the pikemen on both flanks also attacked forward, covering the retreat of the heavy cavalry. But now the formation of the heavy cavalry was in disarray.

They were ordered to retreat, and the pikemen came forward to cover them, and the archers and shieldmen behind them also stepped forward to meet them. The Goryeo Army finally appeared in a situation of overall confusion and loosening of the formation.

Yu Ming was waiting for this moment, if he really let Gaisu withdraw the heavy cavalry and line up with shield soldiers and archers, his cavalry would not have any advantage in attacking with javelins, and at this time he would only charge with heavy cavalry and use the impact of cavalry to cross the opponent.

Although he was confident that with the strength of his cavalry, he would definitely be able to overrun the Goryeo army, whose morale had plummeted, but it would not be possible to win it completely. And he has received a report from Tanma that Gao Jianwu's main force of 50,000 people is coming to Wulong Valley. He had to defeat Gaisu in one fell swoop before Gao Jianwu arrived.
