This kind of riverbank landing battle is different from the frontal group army operation, the battlefield area is limited, and the offensive space that can be used is also limited, and more than 100,000 people rush to the city in vain, and they can only be shot and killed by the soldiers defending the city, because there are too many people, you can hit people if you close your eyes and throw a stone with your hands or throw arrows at will.

Often the smart generals are attacking in waves, one after the other, fighting with the opponent's physical strength, one after another, one after another, the soldiers in the rear can still rest and recuperate, and the most important thing is to avoid being cannon fodder.

The Goguryeo defenders of the Tubao defense line, about 20,000 people, lined up in batches to replace them, the sound of killing shook the heavens and the earth, and the random arrows were scattered vertically and horizontally, even in the city pass, they had to use their shields to block their bodies at all times, otherwise they would be shot by arrows that suddenly flew from the air at some point.

"Kill!" Mai Tiecane commanded 30,000 elite charges, shouting in his mouth, fighting spirit, and charging the battlefield like a tide breaking an embankment.

The first wave was shield bearers, the second wave was knife and axe bearers, and then archers, and those in front of them used their shields to block the stones and arrows that fell head-on, and casualties were inevitable.

The two sides have not yet exchanged weapons, but the casualties have been thousands, and the Sui army is obviously in a passive situation in terms of casualties and losses, because of geographical advantages.

But the Sui army was mighty, there was no shortage of people, a thousand died and fell, and thousands were pressed, so that the defenders were so busy that they were pierced by the crossbow arrows shot from outside the Xiongguan if they were not careful, and in the screams, they fell headlong under the earth wall.

"Give it to me, hurry up!" Mai Tiezhu and Qian Shixiong led the vanguard to charge, and saw that many of their subordinates around them were killed by arrows, or were smashed down by stones and rolling logs, and they were furious, but they still did not climb to the top of the city and injured the enemy, while shouting: "Archers shoot them to death, quickly!" ”

At the same time, Che Yuan also shouted at the head of the city: "Smash hard, shoot on time, don't let the Sui army climb up to the city, the archers cooperate......"

He has been on the battlefield for a long time, of course, he knows that the key to defending the city is not to let the enemy climb the city wall, at this moment with the geographical advantage of condescending, the enemy soldiers will be like nailed to the fat on the board to be slaughtered, once the swarm up, then the wall space is small, and to fight with the enemy, and to block the enemy below, the scene is chaotic, it is taboo to defend the city!

An hour later, Xue Shixiong commanded the army to continue crossing the river to reinforce the charge at the front.

And Mai Tiezhu and other generals have already commanded the army to break through the beach full of traps and obstacles, arrived at the bottom of the earthen fort defense line, and began to set up small cloud ladders to climb, in an instant, several miles of city wall, a row of long ladders erected, the Sui army soldiers climbed up and fell down, fell down and climbed up, one after another, dead and wounded, less than half an hour, under the city to accumulate piles of dead corpses, blood flowed into a river, immersed in the river sand.

Luo Zhaoyun sat in the rear and had dispatched tens of thousands of horses to attack the defensive line, but suffered heavy casualties, at least 5,000 casualties, and the Goguryeo army only suffered hundreds of casualties, most of them were shot by bows and arrows; Unlike the soldiers of the Sui army who attacked the city, there were those who were killed by bows and arrows, those who fell to death, those who were stoned to death, those who were scalded to death by hot oil, those who were hacked to death by knives and axes, and those who were stabbed to death by spears, etc., all kinds of corpses were everywhere, which was too tragic.

However, the trumpets and war drums continued to hurry, signaling the army to continue the onslaught, and the soldiers in front knew that they would die, and they did not hesitate at this time, and there was no turning back, because this is the battlefield, once they disobeyed the military order and turned around and fled, they were fleeing from the battle, and they were still beheaded when they went back, and they had no value at all in death, at least now they were killed in battle, and they had a certain pension, which could be given to their wives and children at home, and they could even be exempted from certain taxes and labor.

The elite soldiers of the Sui army, with flying stones and arrow feathers, risked their lives, and were still climbing up, and finally someone climbed to the head of the earthen walled city and slashed two Goguryeo soldiers with a knife, but was stabbed by more than a dozen spearmen of the defenders, fell off the city wall, and died early.

Immediately after that, more than 100 soldiers of the Sui army boarded and fought with the Goguryeo army at the head of the city, but they were soon killed by the substitute guards by thunderous means, and the Goguryeo army was also not afraid of death to lift a large stone and smash it to the ladder, and then it was shot into a rotten hole, but sacrificed itself to block the Sui army's climbing.

Seeing that the method was effective, many guards stood up one after another to defend the stone, and some simply jumped off the city knowing that they would die, and saved the enemy's body or ladder in mid-air, and died with the Sui soldiers.

The battle was very fierce, in the face of the elite of the Goguryeo army, which was not afraid of death, the momentum of the Sui soldiers was somewhat affected, and the speed of climbing and the momentum of the attack were obviously reduced a lot.

Luo Zhaoyun looked at the scene in front of him, miserable, and breathed a sigh of relief, as a general, all this is a blood debt that is destined to be unsolvable, people eat people, what is the difference between people and people killing people, the most ferocious beast battle is not so fierce!

He tried his best to control his excited emotions, suppressed the surging mood, and shouted at the sky: "Order, continue to increase troops, and break the city today,......"

The drums of war continued to beat, as dense as raindrops, and the warships kept approaching, sending troops in a steady stream.

The Sui army, with its numerical superiority, advanced at any cost, attracting all the energy of the defenders.

Two hours had passed since the battle, and suddenly, the sound of arrows rushed into the sky behind the side of the Tucheng defense line, and the sound of horses' hooves was loud and booming, and it seemed that thousands of iron horsemen were charging towards them.

Many of the sentry posts on the mountains had already been attacked by the assassination teams sent out by the Sui army, causing the beacon tower to not release a signal in time, and the Goguryeo army did not react until the cavalry arrived.

The side camp is not as tight as the frontal defense line, because it is blocked behind the pass, within the interval between the two mountains, I didn't think that the Sui army would cross the mountains and earthen castles, and suddenly appear on the rear side, so the Sui cavalry stepped on the joint camp and hit the defender camp here.

In this way, the cavalry swept over, charged and struck, causing the defenders to be in chaos, and they could no longer stop the climbing soldiers of the Sui army outside.

"Kill—"

The Sui army responded to the alliance and began to gain the upper hand, and the entire defense line area was in chaos, and the fighting was loud, and the 20,000 Goguryeo military horses did not escape in time and fell into a melee.

Xue Shixiong led his troops to land, which was much easier, swept up, and after the reinforcements of the troops, he surrounded and annihilated the Goguryeo army.

"The big picture is decided!" Luo Zhaoyun finally breathed a sigh of relief, thanks to the timely arrival of the cavalry, otherwise, the army under his command would have suffered heavy casualties today, repeating the mistake of Yang Guang last year. (To be continued.) )
