Chapter Eighty-Eight: Intercepting the Enemy Army in the Inner City{2}

"Woo......"

The low sound of trumpets blew in the wilderness, and the dull and rhythmic sound of war drums sounded in the grove! Groups of Confederate soldiers quickly walked out of the grove and quickly set up a formation on the grass behind the grove!

This was a battle with an unpredictable outcome, and although Su Shang was well prepared, he could not predict the outcome of this battle for the first time, because this battle was the first head-to-head battle since the establishment of the Allied Army, and they could only go all out.

In the open field, the two armies were separated by a small wood, each in formation. The allied army is a two-wing formation, with 4,000 Chinese troops, 3,000 people on each side of the left and right wings, Su Shang personally sits in charge of the Chinese army, Li Mo on the left flank, and Su Dingfang on the right flank, the army is neat and murderous.

And Yuan Taizuo's army is also on the left and right flanks, and the formation is the same as that of the allied army, and it is also 4,000 Chinese infantry, which is personally commanded by Yuan Taizuo. The right-wing commander is called Li Jincheng, who is Yuan Taizuo's confidant general, and the left-wing commander is Yuan Taizuo's youngest son Li Jincheng, and the two of them each lead 1,500 people to the left and right wings. There is also a thousand-man cavalry behind the Chinese army, and they are guarding behind Yuan Taizuo, which can protect the safety of the Chinese army, and can also quickly support both sides!

From the point of view of weapons, the weapons on both sides are almost the same, both are composed of qiāng spear army and sword and shield army, both of which are the standard weapons of the Sui army, but in terms of armor, Yuan Taizuo's army has an advantage, they are all Mingguang armor, and the alliance army is equipped with Mingguang armor, only the three thousand veterans, those newly trained recruits are basically dressed in linen, not even leather armor!

However, Su Shang also hid two killer features, one was the three hundred soldiers of the pro-military battalion led by Huang Lin, they were the most elite soldiers in Su Shang's hands, and they were currently given the first frontal battlefield mission by Su Shang, and they had quietly hidden, secretly waiting for the moment when the battlefield was chaotic. At that time, they will directly smash the enemy's central army and take down Yuan Taizuo and other enemy generals!

In addition, Su Shang also secretly deployed a secret army, and before Yuan Taizuo's army arrived, an army of 3,000 people led by Su Yu had already made a detour from the left side of the woods five miles away to the back of the enemy formation.

This is a kind of front and back flanking tactics, and when the two sides are fighting head-on, the army led by Su 々 will suddenly come out from behind the enemy, so as to crush the enemy army and lock the victory!

Yuan Taizuo looked coldly at the allied army opposite, although the other party's army was numerous, but it lacked armor and armor, it was obviously a former Sui army captive, he had an absolute advantage in weapons and equipment, and the other party only had one or two thousand more people, which made him fearless.

At this time, he was secretly thinking in his heart that as long as he defeated this Sui army and then attacked the Sui army outside Pyongyang with the momentum of victory, the siege of Pyongyang could be solved. At that time, his prestige will surely resound throughout Goguryeo again!

"Haha......"

Yuan Taizuo looked up to the sky and laughed, pulled out his sword and shouted: "Attack"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! "The earth-shattering drums of war were beaten. The offensive of Yuan Taizuo's army was suddenly launched, and the 8,000 army was divided into three large formations, overwhelmingly killing the allied army, shouting, roaring, and the sound of horses' hooves running and trampling resounded throughout the field.

Under the banner, the camp of the Allied forces still did not move, but behind the various battle flags, the six thousand Allied soldiers on the left and right wings began to quickly change their weapons, they put their spears on the ground, took off the longbow from behind them, drew out a sharp arrow, stretched out the bow and arrows, the long arrow was obliquely upward at a 45-degree angle, and the sharp arrows flashed with cold light!

Su Shang rode on a horse, watching the enemy army swept in the distance, eight thousand enemy troops like turbulent waves, undulating and galloping on the field, Su Shang shot a cold gaze in his eyes, he is well versed in ancient and modern military arts, he has long abandoned simple fighting and blood fighting, in addition to the soldier's ability to fight on the battlefield, he also pays attention to the use of tactics and strategy!

The enemy army in front of them looks like a flash flood, menacing, but the follow-up is weak, as long as it can effectively weaken their morale, their combat effectiveness will be sharply reduced as their morale fades, bow and arrow shooting is undoubtedly the best means of attack!

Bai Yichen behind him was a little nervous, and he reminded Su Shang in a low voice: "Marshal, the enemy army has entered two hundred steps!"

Su Shang nodded, their tactics had been trained several times, and they would never miss!

The dust was flying, the drums shook the sky, and Yuan Taizuo's army was getting closer and closer, two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, one hundred and forty steps, one hundred and thirty steps...... It's getting closer to the longbow's killing range.

At this moment, the bow formation of the Allied army was launched, and in a burst of war drums, the battle flags of the first row covering the archers on the left and right flanks all lay down, and a series of strong winds sounded, and six thousand sharp arrows rose into the air, forming a dense rain of arrows in the air, making strange sounds, and whistling towards the enemy's heads!

More than 2,000 enemy troops who rushed to the front suddenly turned on their backs, and the long arrows shot through the helmets, and the heads were shot through in an instant, although the Mingguang armor effectively protected the vital points of the soldiers, but the arms, thighs, necks, and faces that were not covered by the armor became the targets of the arrows.

Hundreds of war horses mixed in the team were also shot, neighing and falling, the soldiers on the horses were crushed under the horses, and more than 700 people were killed and injured in a rain of arrows, and the madness of Yuan Taizuo's army was seriously frustrated!

However, their attack did not stop, and they continued to kill the Chinese army of the Allied army, when the second wave of arrows struck again, and another group of people turned on their backs, and at this moment, their forward troops were less than fifty paces away from the Chinese soldiers of the Allied army.

"Shoot again!"

Su Shang shouted loudly, he knew very well in his heart that during the time when the enemy was charging, the soldiers could shoot three rounds, and within fifty steps they could shoot through the armor!

The most critical third round of arrows of the Allied army was launched, a war drum sounded, six thousand sharp arrows were fired at the same time, and a dense rain of arrows rose into the air, instantly turning into black dots, overwhelmingly shooting towards the enemy's head!

The Great Sui's crossbow arrows dominate the world, not only with a long range, but also with strong strength, within fifty steps, even the Mingguang armor can't resist it! Especially when thrown from the air, the arrows have their own gravity when they fall, making the Mingguang armor of the Yuan Taizuo army an ornament.

Sharp arrows whistled like raindrops, so dense that people couldn't breathe, long arrows whirred down, powerful arrows pierced through the armor, Yuan Taizuo's soldiers fell to the ground one after another, wailing all over the field, they were like crops destroyed by a storm, falling one by one, blood splashing, one by one wailing and dying miserably!

Their morale faded dramatically, and they began to fear, retreat, and flee in all directions, as if a strong wind had blown through the dark clouds, and in an instant the clouds were gone!

"Retreat"

Yuan Taizuo saw that the soldiers suffered heavy casualties and had to order a retreat, and the enemy retreated like a tide!
