Chapter 319: Anti-Encirclement (Four Watches)
Soon, the thousand horsemen Xu Ding brought with him also shot empty the arrow magazine.
Xu Ding gave an order and waved the yellow flag, and a thousand horsemen urged their horses to turn around and retreat when they saw the flag.
At this time, it was Han Dang's turn to ride three thousand.
They were ready to attack, shooting at 45 degrees, 3,000 bows and arrows were fired, and countless Goguryeo people fell.
There were too many Goguryeo people, charging intensively, like a tide, densely packed like an army of moths.
It was still three waves of arrows, and the Goguryeo people rushed to the front again, and Han Dang's riders also needed to rest because of shooting three arrows in a row, recover their arm strength, and maintain their combat effectiveness.
So at this time, it was Xu Huang's turn again.
Taking advantage of the gap between Xu Ding, Han Dang and the others in archery, they successfully completed the arrow pressing and pressed ten crossbow arrows into the arrow magazine.
It's a thousand crossbows again.
The approaching Goguryeo faced another massacre, still in pieces.
Xu Huang finished shooting, and then Xu Ding and others shot.
Han rode five thousand, divided into three batches, rhythmic, regular.
As a result of the three rounds this time, 30,000 Goguryeo people were killed in battle.
When Ting You and a group of Goguryeo generals hit this, their hearts were dripping with blood.
Thirty thousand!
In order to surround the Han cavalry, 30,000 soldiers were paid.
The price is a bit high.
But from the beginning of the war, they had no choice.
From the first round onwards, they knew that they had set up 5,000 cavalry, but Tingyu did not stop, and the generals of Goguryeo did not ask for an end to the battle and retreated.
Because of this, it means that they are defeated, it means that more than 10,000 people will die in vain, and after retreating, the morale of the whole team will be gone.
They will be firmly forced by the Han cavalry to defend the camp of the great army, waiting for the continuous reinforcements of the Han army to surround them, and then attack and kill.
Don't doubt this judgment.
Because it's a predictable fact.
Compared with field warfare, the Han people are best at attacking cities.
The experience and weapons of the siege are the richest and most outstanding in the whole world.
So after the war started, they had no choice but to continue.
It's like a gambler, always betting on the best to get lucky, and then turn the tables, don't lose to the bottom, never willing, won't give up.
Tingyou felt that he had made the right bet.
After paying the sacrifice of the three soldiers, the troops on both wings finally surrounded the Han cavalry, and the troops on the two wings converged in the rear of the Han cavalry.
The big picture is decided, and you are at your disposal, but you are surrounded.
For the rest, it's our turn to besiege, torture, and slaughter you.
"Set up a shield, shrink the space for Han Qi's activities, and slowly strangle!" Ting You exhaled a long breath, his face was not bitter, his eyebrows were cheerful, and his mood was a little more relaxed.
Stupid Han Chinese, it is really unfortunate that you have the convenience of horses, the advantage of bows and crossbows, and the good armor, but you have a stupid, arrogant and arrogant commander.
Ting You sometimes thinks that those exquisite weapons, exquisite cloths, or comfortable cities should not belong to the Han people in the first place, and in their hands they are tyrannical things.
It can only be perfected in the hands of their Great Goguryeo.
Dongwofu was conquered by their Goguryeo!
Donghao was also conquered by their Goguryeo!
Samhan will also be conquered by them!
The Han Chinese will also be conquered by them!
They are the most powerful country and the most powerful nation in the East, and they should occupy the anointed land of the Central Plains.
Tingyou was in a reverie.
Even all the Goguryeo generals, including the soldiers, felt that they had sealed the victory.
The enemy is surrounded by us, then they are bound to perish.
From the beginning of the East Wofu, all the enemies who are surrounded by them will surely perish.
The Han Chinese are no exception.
The 70,000 Goguryeo army surrounded the Han cavalry, which was only 5,000, and it seemed that the balance of victory and defeat was indeed tipped in favor of the Goguryeo.
The difference is fourteen times, and the disparity in strength is huge.
However, Xu Ding's five thousand Han cavalry did not have a trace of fear, on the contrary, the more they fought, the higher they were.
"Change formation!"
Xu Ding and Han Dang waved their flags at the same time and shouted.
I saw that the 1,000 horsemen led by Xu Ding were divided into two and 500, and they were led by one general to the two wings.
At the same time, Han Dang's 3,000 horsemen also gave way to a middle road, and the 1,000 people led by Xu Huang were inserted from the middle to the back, and Xu Ding, Gan Ning and other 300 horsemen were casually behind.
When Xu Ding and the others exchanged their positions with themselves, Han Dangbu was also divided into two.
The second cavalry was under his command, and the loser was the Chinese army of Goguryeo.
A thousand horsemen were drawn and commanded.
"Change the gun!"
Xu Huang's thousand people immediately locked the machine with his order, preventing the crossbow machine from shooting arrows on its own because of the bumps.
The crossbow machine is placed in a pouch on the side.
At this time, a thousand people picked up javelins.
"Cast!"
A thousand javelins were projected in an instant.
The Goguryeo soldiers who were erecting Mu Dun and wanted to encircle were hit one after another, and their shields were crooked.
Many javelins shot through the gap at the shield soldiers holding their shields in Goguryeo.
"Puff ......"
Besieged the Han cavalry, and the Goguryeo soldiers who had just closed the siege fell one after another.
"Shoot!"
A thousand horsemen, a thousand bows and arrows, took advantage of the situation to fall in.
The Goguryeo soldiers, who had no shield to cover, fell again.
"Change the crossbow!"
After receiving the expected effect, Xu Huang ordered the crowd to change their crossbows.
At this time, he rushed to the Goguryeo encirclement array.
Thousands of crossbows were fired again, and suddenly a piece was empty, and countless Goguryeo people fell.
Those who were not dead were trampled into pulp by the iron riders who rushed to them.
When the arrow box was shot empty, Xu Huang waved the order to ride again, and the thousand horses were also divided into two parts, giving way to the left and right wings.
At this time, Xu Ding and Gan Ning's 1,300 horsemen brandished weapons and rushed into the chaotic Goguryeo army.
"Kill!"
"Puff ......"
If the foot soldier has no restraint against the cavalry, he is doomed to be tortured and killed.
"Bow down! Change the knife!" Han Dang commanded 2,000 cavalry to shoot another round, slowing down the speed of the Goguryeo Chinese army, and then the cavalry picked up their best melee weapons, followed the path of Xu Ding and others to kill the encircled Goguryeo army, and continued to expand the results of Xu Ding and others.
The first to be divided into the left and right wings of each of the 500 palace guards, using the advantage of crossbow arrows, shot the left and right wings of the Goguryeo people who were close to the two wings did not dare to raise their heads. You can only bow your head and advance slowly.
"Homecoming!"
After Xu Huang and other five hundred palace guards rushed over to join them, Xu Huang led these palace guards back to the army, and behind Han Dang, they all changed into melee weapons and trampled and collided.
"Damn it!"
Just closed the siege, I thought that I could strangle the Han cavalry, but I didn't expect the Han cavalry to constantly change formations to adjust the distribution of troops and the way of attacking.
All at once, the most fragile joint of the encirclement was broken and rushed away.
This made Tingyou's newly established confidence collapse in an instant.
Can Ting You not be annoyed?
It's like a boiled duck flying away.
"Points"
Xu Ding, Ganning and others rushed out and directly penetrated the Goguryeo junction that had just been encircled, at this time Xu Ding did not leave with all the horsemen, but turned to the left, and followed the rout and frightened Goguryeo people to kill the 20,000 Goguryeo who had just been outflanked from the left flank.
He rode 1,300,000 to the left, and Han Dang took 2,000 cavalry to the right to kill the 20,000 Goguryeo people who were outflanked on the right flank.
"Points!" After Xu Huang followed, the two thousand horsemen were also divided into two, and one thousand each followed Xu Ding and Han Dang.
The Han cavalry had two thousand three on one side and three thousand on the other, respectively attacking the two wings of the Goguryeo army that had surrounded them just now, which made Tingyou of the Chinese army lose his goal.
The Goguryeo people of the Chinese army were at a loss all at once.
The source of struggle is gone.
It's like a punch to cotton, and there's nowhere to use it.
Seeing that the army on both wings was attacked by the Han cavalry, there was a rout, and the two wings were in chaos, and Ting You was anxious.
The Goguryeo generals were also worried.
Originally, they attacked the Han cavalry, but now it has become the Han cavalry attacking them.
Originally, they surrounded the Han cavalry, but now the two wings have become the main battlefield of the Han people, as if they were surrounded by the Han army.
