Under the desperate urging of officers at all levels, the Goryeo soldiers launched a futile counterattack against the shield cart array with extremely long-range piece arrows, and these light arrows were naturally blocked by all the shield carts, and only a few Goryeo soldiers who accidentally exposed the gaps in the shield carts were hit by the piece arrows.

The Goryeo army had already shot multiple rounds of arrows at the light cavalry of the Qi army, and now there was a hasty shooting at the shield cart, and in the panic, after a few rounds, the physical strength of the Goryeo archers was completely exhausted, and even this little counterattack force became scarce.

Originally, according to the tactics, the infantry of the Qi army should continue to move forward under the cover of the shield car, approach to a distance of about 70 paces, shoot a few rounds at the enemy with muskets, and after completely defeating the enemy, then be pursued by the cavalry.

Now, though, it doesn't seem like there's any need for such trouble.

The Goryeo army was collapsing, and it was just a waste of time to let the infantry move on.

So Xu Shiyang changed his mind and planned to end the suffering of the Korean soldiers in a simpler and more direct way.

The Qi army array sounded a piercing military trumpet, this is Xu Shiyang's plagiarized from the PLA of another world, and one day in the future, this trumpet will become a lingering nightmare for all the nations that are enemies of China.

Now, for the first time, the sound of the trumpet has been sounded outside of the traditional territory of China, but the Koreans have begun to feel that the sound of the trumpet is like a soul-urging bell for the impermanence of life.

With the sound of the trumpet, the shield cart formation came to a halt, the shield cart in the middle position moved to the sides, and ten cuirassier companies poured out of this passage and the two flanks of the shield cart array, and began to calmly line up at a position only 150 paces away from the enemy.

The newly formed cuirassiers were the only heavy cavalry of the Qi army at this time that completely existed in a charging formation, and all the cavalry in the army had reached the configuration of one person and two horses, and the mobility was very strong.

And all of them are inner chain mail, double iron armor of outer breastplate, and horses are also wearing fish scale vests, acting like a group of iron men, as if the iron armor that cannot be penetrated by any weapon reflects the sun, and without fighting, it can bring great pressure to any enemy.

In fact, in this era, the power of the armor was indeed worthy of their reputation, because even the heavy arrows of the Tartars could not do much damage to these iron men if they did not hit the few parts that were not covered by the armor.

The disadvantage of the armor equipment is that the equipment is too expensive, and the requirements for the attack terrain are too high.

But if they are given a chance, there are very few infantry in this world that can withstand the onslaught of such armored cavalry.

Xu Shiyang had just shown a full ten cavalry companies and a thousand armored cavalry, and his powerful momentum completely crushed the morale of most of the Goryeo army.

Xu Shiyang heard a sudden burst of tidal cries in the Goryeo army, and countless Goryeo soldiers threw down their weapons and fled in all directions in a panic.

The Goryeo army collapsed.

The 40,000-strong army was like ants in a nest filled with boiling water, screaming for their lives while fleeing for their lives, leaving only about a few thousand elite regular soldiers and more experienced substitute soldiers still holding on to their positions.

Xu Shiyang suspected that they would not flee because they knew that now that the army was scattered, if they were chased and killed by the cavalry of the Qi army, the two legs of the infantry would not be able to run away if they wanted to, so it was better to get up and hold on for a while, and wait for the enemy cavalry to chase and defeat the soldiers, and it would be too late for them to leave.

The idea is good, but compared to the rout with no morale, Xu Shiyang wants to eliminate these veteran elites who can grit their teeth and hold on in the rout.

In Xu Shiyang's eyes, these people are the backbone of the Goryeo army, as long as they are eliminated, no matter how many others there are, it is useless.

Therefore, Xu Shiyang only sent musketeers and reconnaissance companies of various brigades that had rested for a while to pursue and kill the rout, and the others stayed where they were and participated in the siege of the Goryeo veterans.

The cuirassier company slowly accelerated according to the original plan, aiming straight to stay in place Goryeo soldiers, these veterans stood shoulder to shoulder, the spearmen in the front row half-crouched upwards to raise their spears obliquely, forming a circular gun formation, and some sword and shield soldiers in the back row raised round shields to protect the top of the pikemen's heads, and then the archers in the back, posing in the most standard anti-cavalry formation of this era, quietly waiting for the final blow to come.

However, the first to come was the Qi artillery, two mounted artillery companies placed 16 magic cannons on the flanks of the Goryeo army, and within two minutes, 48 rounds of 2 kg shells were poured on the heads of the Goryeo people.

The Goryeo army howled miserably, and the tight circle immediately became loose.

At this moment, the cuirassiers seized the opportunity and launched a rapid charge, the sharp tip of the spear piercing the soft human body, and the close arrangement of several Korean soldiers could be strung together at one time, and then the cavalry gave up the cavalry spear, drew a saber or straight sword, and slashed directly at the heads of the Korean people surging around him.

The last round of the Goryeo army was broken in an instant, and the sabers and straight swords split the heads of the Goryeo soldiers, and then the iron hooves of the war horses trampled the bravest soldiers into the dirt, screaming incessantly, blood rushing wildly, and the whole land was trampled into mud with blood and horses' hooves.

Half an hour later, the Qi army achieved a complete victory, with more than 40,000 troops of King Qinwang on the South Road of Goryeo, more than 3,700 people under the commander of the dead commander and Jeolla Provincial Inspector Li Huan, nearly 10,000 people were captured or surrendered, and the rest were all scattered.

……

Let's rewind the clock a little bit.

When Xu Shiyang personally led the main force to the south to meet Li Xun, there were only 4,000 people left near Wangjing from the Qi and Li coalition armies and the Goryeo army.

Among them, Li Feifeng commanded the pirate soldiers to seal the relatively safe West Gate (Dunyi Gate), where they followed the example of the Qi army, dug a trench and built a breastwork, and placed a horse resistance in front of the trench.

Of course, such a defense is not strong, but in Li Feifeng's opinion, it is enough to deal with the weak Koreans.

The only problem is that this kind of siege on land is not the war situation that pirates like, and many of the small cabinets who followed Li Feifeng to Goryeo to help in the war complained about the task of staying where they were and blocking the city gates.

They wanted to go to the countryside of Goryeo to plunder, but in this war, Li Feifeng always insisted on obeying Xu Shiyang's orders and never did anything other than military orders, so he didn't look like a free pirate at all.

"Shopkeeper, that Xu Shiyang only let his people loot everywhere and let us stay here motionless, this is too much!" A middle cabinet with a good relationship with Li Feifeng whispered: "Now his people have gone to deal with the Goryeo reinforcements, but they still let us stay where we ......, we are here to help, why listen to him so much?" If this continues, how many things can we gain after this battle? ”

Li Feifeng stood behind the breastwork, looking at the low city wall of Goryeo Wangjing, and after a long time, he said in a non-questionable voice: "What do you think of the Goryeo soldiers?" ”

"Actually, it's okay, the navy can't beat us, but it's hard to say on land." The middle cabinet replied very sincerely: "After all, there are more than 100,000 troops." “

"yes, don't you understand?" Li Feifeng sneered: "You think the tricky Goryeo Army was beaten like a dog in Xu Shiyang's hands, of course we have to listen to him." “
