、、、、、、、、、、

In the early morning, the rising sun was shining on the banks of the Yalu River, and the golden light was reflected on the armor and weapons of the Sui cavalry, showing a solemn color.

Luo Cheng rode on an Arab war horse, a faint sneer appeared on his resolute and resolute face, and his eyes were as sharp as eagle's eyes, staring closely at the Goryeo infantry who were lining up on the bank of the river and slowly advancing forward.

After Yu Ming reorganized all the soldiers of the Broken Rear Army, Luo Cheng became the commander of the cavalry. He snorted coldly at this time, and then laughed in a loud voice: "Warriors of the Great Sui, line up!" Let's use the spear in our hands to pierce the throat of those Goryeo crumbs! ”

With Luo Cheng's order, the four thousand cavalry of the Sui army immediately began to act.

The 4,000 cavalry (excluding the 1,000 ironclad cavalry) were divided into forty rows, one person in each row, and they formed a half-moon arc, and in the center of this half-moon was the 5,000 Goryeo infantry who had just crossed the river and gathered together.

Each of these cavalrymen has a clear depiction of perseverance and bravery! Not a single soldier had the slightest waver in his eyes! Because they understood that this was to cover the battle of the main retreat, and if they were defeated, the Goryeo army would sweep westward, inflicting heavy losses on the retreating Sui army.

Today, they can't escape. All efforts must be made to crush the enemy forces in order to win hope for future victory.

The queue was quickly arranged, and the soldiers stood as tightly as possible next to their comrades, and the formation was as tight as possible, not only the knights on the horses, but also the armor on each horse. The first row is the strongest fighters selected, all of whom know some martial arts and can perform powerful martial arts moves. Their faces were fearless, and the queue was as neat as a crescent moon!

In the barracks behind the cavalry, there was a rapid and deep sound of horns. Soon, there were bursts of frantic shouts among the ranks of the Sui cavalry.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!! ”

Luo Cheng was holding a spear in his hand, his face was full of fierce battle intent, and his eyes were calm: "Look at these Goryeo miscellaneous pieces who dare to be disrespectful to my Great Sui, what kind of skills do they have!" Do they have two heads or one hand? Warriors! Sortie! ”

Countless Sui cavalry seemed to be in a state of excitement and frenzy, and they frantically whipped their horses' buttocks with their horsewhips and raised their riding spears in their hands. Four thousand Sui cavalry rushed to the bank of the Yalu River like a tide!

Looking at the dust raised by the four thousand cavalry of the Sui army, Gaisu, the chief general of the Goryeo army's river-crossing vanguard force, was as sharp as a steel needle.

There was a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Hmph! These Sui people did not attack when we were crossing the river, and they had to wait for us to go ashore and form up to attack before launching an attack, which was really a water in the head......"

Gaisu raised his right hand, the scimitar in his hand raised high, and swung it in mid-air to draw a circle.

"Archer prepare!"

More than 2,000 archers standing behind the thousand-spear shield men removed their longbows from their backs.

"Directly in front of the target, aim at an oblique upward inclination, and the distance is fifty zhang."

Two thousand archers drew arrows from their quivers behind their backs in unison and mounted their longbows.

At this time, Gaisu took the scimitar in his right hand and waved it down vigorously, saying:

"The first team shoots! Second Team Ready! ”

Just listening to the sound of "buzz", from the back of the Goryeo army formation, more than two thousand archers fired the first salvo!

The rain of arrows in the sky fell on the crowd of the advancing Sui cavalry, which suddenly brought a howl of pain, and the Sui cavalry in the running was hit by arrows in an instant. However, only a few dozen of these fierce Sui cavalry fell, and those who were not hit by the vital point still rushed forward with the large army.

Gaisu was secretly proud, this attack, the commander Gao Jianwu expected that the Sui army would surprise with heavy cavalry, so he asked him to replace all the ordinary arrows with wolf tooth arrows among his archers.

Although the wolf's tooth arrow was very expensive, it was lethal and could penetrate the armor of the Sui heavy cavalry at a distance of fifty zhang, so the first volley shot down many Sui cavalry, and according to common sense, when the Sui cavalry rushed to their infantry formation, they also had to withstand a volley of rounds. In this way, at least about 20% of the opponent's forces can be reduced.

After hand-to-hand combat between the two sides. Two thousand archers can also make covered shots. Even if these 4,000 heavy cavalry could drive their 5,000 infantry down the river, they would have to be killed or wounded. At that time, after the follow-up troops led by General Yi Zhide crossed the river, they would definitely be able to completely annihilate these heavy cavalry of the Sui army.

"Hehe, seeing that the Sui army has no heavy cavalry, how can it fight with our Goryeo army?" Gai Su said proudly.

However, the mutation in the rear quickly made Gaisu's smile freeze.

I saw that where those archers were standing, countless military Sui infantry suddenly emerged from the sand stalls on the riverbank, all of whom held swords in one hand and shields in the other. It's all melee infantry. They had apparently been lurking in the underground pit for a long time, waiting for the archers of the Goryeo army to line up before they appeared nearby, and then covered up from the rear of the Goryeo army.

Yu Ming smiled slightly at this time, he was repeating his old trick, and he used the previous method of dealing with the Khitan cavalry in Dongping Valley on the Goryeo army.

The archers were a sharp blade against long-range enemies, but their melee attacks and defenses were poor, and most of the archers in the Goryeo army wore leather armor, and some even wore leather armor for the convenience of archery. Anyway, they thought the same: there were shield soldiers and pikemen in front of them, and it would not be their turn to rush into melee combat.

However, they never imagined that the enemy would suddenly emerge from the ground and be killed by surprise.

The archers of the Goryeo army were kept close to each other, and they completely became the slaughter targets of the Sui army's sword and shield soldiers.

As a result, the ranks of archers of the Goryeo army were suddenly in chaos, and in order to avoid the attack of the Sui army's sword and shield soldiers, they crowded towards the pikemen at the front of their ranks, trying to seek the protection of these pikemen.

However, they did not expect that they would run over in such a chaotic manner, and in an instant, the pikemen's originally neatly arranged formation would be squeezed into pieces.

Moreover, if the pikemen want to deal with the enemy who is covering from the rear, they have to draw back the spears that were originally supported on the giant shield of the shield soldiers, so that the shield soldiers' originally airtight shield array will naturally be greatly affected.

"! These Sui dog thieves are actually hiding underground, I will say how can they be so generous, let us calmly cross the river and set up a formation. Gaisu knew right away that he had fallen for it.

However, now even if he knew that he had been deceived, he could not reverse the situation in front of him, and without archers firing, the heavy cavalry of the Sui army quickly rushed to the front of the Goryeo army.

Like a tide, they slammed into the forefront of the Goryeo army's spear and shield phalanx, and this black steel torrent seemed to hit the rocks, and suddenly sparked!!

With a dense rush of ping-pong, the powerful heavy cavalry of the Sui army rushed into the array of Goryeo infantry at once.

The Goryeo army's shield wall in the front row was slightly untidy at the first time. These Goryeo soldiers can be used as vanguards, and they are naturally an elite division. They immediately pressed their shields with their bodies, refusing to flinch.

Originally, at this time, behind the shield soldiers, the pikemen in the second and first rows should also press forward with all their might, using their spears to assassinate the heavy cavalry of the Sui army that rushed up, and the queue of shield soldiers who were rushed out of the gap was also filled by the substitute shield soldiers in the rear, so that they could resist the fierce impact of the heavy cavalry of the Sui army!

However, now the pikemen of the second and first platoons of the Goryeo Army were taking care of themselves, and they were struggling to resist the Sui infantry that were killing from behind. Although pikemen are not completely incomprehensible to melee combat like archers, pikes are also suitable for impact assassination at medium distances, and are not suitable for melee combat, not to mention that their formation has long been rushed by their own archers, so in the confrontation with the Sui army, they can only be at a disadvantage, barely supporting themselves.

Finally, the shield soldiers in the first row completely collapsed after resisting a pillar of incense kung fu. The heavy cavalry of the Sui army took advantage of the situation to kill the rear, using their lances and horse lances to harvest the lives of the Goryeo soldiers who were already in disarray.

Although the Goryeo army tried its best to resist, it was helplessly attacked by the Sui army on both sides, and the originally neatly arranged defensive formation was broken again, becoming fragmented and unable to resist at all.

The battle lasted only more than half an hour, and nearly 1,000 of the 5,000 Goryeo troops were killed, and most of the rest were wounded. The entire beach of the Yalu River is full of corpses and flowing blood of the Goryeo army, and the riverside has become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, dyeing the river red.

"Withdraw!" Gaisu saw that the defeat was complete, and if he didn't run, he might be a prisoner. Immediately jumped on a raft leaning against the shore with the lieutenant general, and then asked his own soldiers to row to the opposite bank.

When the soldiers of the Goryeo Army, who were still barely resisting, saw that the main generals had fled, their morale suddenly collapsed, and they all crowded to the river, scrambling to jump onto the raft and try to row back.

However, at this time, most of the rafts on the shore were rowed back to the opposite bank by the sappers of the Goryeo army, ready to receive the follow-up troops. There are not many rafts left here. With too many monks and little porridge, the Goryeo army did not know how many people were squeezed off the raft and drowned in the Yalu River.

The bright silver spear in Luo Cheng's hand had already been stained red with blood, and his face and armor were all stained with the blood of the enemy.

He led the cavalry of the Sui army and drove all the Goryeo soldiers into the river before collecting his troops and returning to the camp.
