Chapter 360: The Battle of the River Beach Next
"Uh......h Woo woo ......" accompanied by a majestic and long horn, the Sui army once again sounded the rallying horn, and the third and fourth waves of armies crossed the water one after another. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because Goguryeo was well prepared, relying on the majestic mountains and rivers and the geographical advantage, the battle of defense was launched.
Between those lofty mountains and suspenseful cliffs, sentry posts and arrow towers were placed, and soldiers and horses were ambushed, and it was difficult for the Sui army to sneak attack and cross skillfully.
And in those ferries and river beaches that are easy to approach and land, obstacles have been set up, earthen forts, trenches, barbs, deer barriers, thistles, traps, and everything is used.
Coupled with the use of those catapults and fire oil bottles, they were condescending and brought a catastrophic blow to the soldiers of the Sui army.
In the army of Goguryeo, there are Goguryeo's native nomads, farming residents, Han people, Northern Qi people, and Koreans, which are the main force, and at the same time, it is also mixed with the Khitans, the Tatar people, the Tiele people, and the Eastern Turkic people, these few tribes are next to Goguryeo, and some of the tribesmen have moved into Liaoxi, so they have been requisitioned and transferred.
This is a complex army, also extremely strong, after the Northern Qi was attacked and destroyed by the Northern Zhou and the Great Sui, a part of the royal family and nobles fled into the land of Liaoxi and Liaodong outside the Guan, and became the local nobles, and now they are secretly colluding with the Goguryeo nobles.
It can be said that dealing with Goguryeo is far more difficult than the southwest Tuyuhun, Tubo and Western Regions.
However, Yang Guang and his ministers couldn't see this, and only thought that the power of Goguryeo's projectiles was that of the Goryeo clowns, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
I didn't expect that in the first battle, I would be met with such stubborn resistance.
"Kill—"
The regular army of the Great Sui was trained to fight hard and hard battles, and at the same time, thinking that there was the Great Sui Emperor behind them, they all charged desperately.
However, the water was turbulent, the big ships were blocked, it was very difficult to charge, and the war horses could not exert much power.
An hour passed, and the corpses of countless Great Sui soldiers floated on the entire river, which was unbearable.
When Luo Zhaoyun saw this scene, he was a little emotional, and he couldn't wait to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, so that he could break a bloody way, so that these soldiers could reduce casualties.
"Give me more troops and take the ferry!" Yang Guang felt that his face was being lost, he fought for an hour, he was killed and wounded, and he hadn't even taken the river beach fortress, the envoys of the Western Regions, and the chiefs of the grassland tribes, but they all watched it, so many Great Sui armor soldiers, but they couldn't help the small country of Goguryeo?
At this time, a group of ministers, no one dared to speak more, and they all sensed Yang Guang's anger.
......The war drums sounded to urge the attack, but when the soldiers heard the drums, they no longer had the excitement of blood and blood, and only felt irritable, the blood in front was too strong, and the death was too great for such a strong attack.
More than 100,000 people from all walks of life went up and swept up like the tide of a rising tide.
Finally, under this tactic of crowds, many deer barriers have been cleared and approached under the earthen fort.
Boom Boom!
On a large ship, a lot of iron horsemen rushed out, floating on the water, like the vertical waves, and the knights raised their spears and spears, like wolves.
It was an elite cavalry, with a team of 1,000 people, who had once served as an errand under Luo Zhaoyun, at this moment, wrapped in an extremely fierce and powerful murderous aura, as if a hurricane from the sky, the trembling hoof and thunder surged, and the river beach trembled, kicking the obstacle and charging, and the thunder was ten thousand pounds.
"Poof! Poof! ”
When they arrived at a horse trap, a group of people were flipped on their backs, and wounded horses and knights who had been bruised and crushed by the fall rolled on the ground in pain. They didn't suffer for long, for a steady stream of knights rushed up again, trampling them under their feet, and it was bloody.
But such a charge quickly approached the wall of the earthen fort, and was shot into a hedgehog by the archers on the head of the earthen wall.
The offensive has been carried out one after another, and here the casualties are large, and in other places, the casualties will be small, and the attack will be more focused, and the infantry, shieldmen, and archers have rushed to more than half of the river beach, ready to attack the earthen walled ramparts.
It was a wall of earth and stone accumulated with sediment, loess, and rock, which was not very strong, but it still blocked the advance of the Sui army.
There are battlements at the head of the wall, hiding archers to release cold arrows outside, and many swords, guns and armor prevent people from climbing.
"Set up a ladder!" Some captains commanded teams of 1,000 and 100 people, and they were constantly rushing and killing.
The front line has advanced to a critical moment.
The head of the earthen wall and the city are like a tireless meat grinder, harvesting human lives at a rapid pace.
Goguryeo's casualties were also accelerating, because the Sui army had already killed the city and was attacking the earth fort, which was far less strong than the Liaodong city, so some places were torn and the walls were knocked down.
"Kill, kill, kill—"
The two sides fought endlessly, with staggered teeth and blood splattered.
When many generals and ministers saw this scene, they had to admit that they had descended Goguryeo in the past, thinking that it was a small country with a rabble, and even many ministers thought that it was some Goryeo sticks on the Korean Peninsula, but this was not the case.
In the Goguryeo Kingdom, there are nomadic Khitan people in the economy, Han farming in western Liaodong and eastern Liaodong; militarily maintained the prowess of the nomads; Geographically, they occupy a precarious position; In terms of armament, they have a lot of offensive and defensive armaments, which are enough to compete with the regular elite of the Great Sui in positional warfare.
