Chapter 171: Don't dream anymore

An inch long, an inch strong.

The three-foot-three-inch-long horizontal sword, against the six-foot-long two-handed broadsword, had only one result.

Before the horizontal sword hits the opponent, it will be slashed to the ground by the broadsword that has not closed the enemy.

The original form of this two-handed heavy sword can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty. Originally, the horse sword was used by the Western Han Dynasty royal family, relatives and other nobles, such as Wang Mang once ordered his guards to kill Dong Zhong with a horse sword.

However, although this kind of horse-chopping sword is powerful, the cost is too high, and it has not been popularized. Later, the sword was divided into two, and two versions were derived, both the Mo knife and the horse sword, followed by the heavy sword.

Hearing the order, the Goguryeo heavy swordsmen quickly jumped off their horses and rolled to the ground, their targets first targeting the spearmen, who posed the greatest threat to the heavy sword.

Just as the spearmen retracted, the Goguryeo swordsmen rolled forward, and then rolled into the Ge spear array, and with a slash of their heavy swords, the Tang army pikemen who were frantically attacking the Goguryeo rout only felt that their legs were cold, and their two legs were cut off by Qi Brush.

Before their screams could be released, the heavy swords of these Goguryeo heavy swordsmen were rounded again, and the screams of these Tang soldiers who fell to the ground stopped abruptly.

Chen Ying looked at this scene and was very surprised. Hoplites, finally see the hoplites of the Goguryeo. The performance of the heavy swordsmen of the Goguryeo people was quite impressive. Although they belonged to the two sides, Chen Ying also had to admit that the heavy swordsmen of Goguryeo were worthy of being the elite of the elite, and their gang of animals were still so flexible in such heavy iron armor!

Once the Tang army's spearmen were approached, they could not escape death, and the Goguryeo heavy swordsmen scurried under their feet like rats, swinging their heavy swords, and the pikemen fell one after another screaming.

The spearmen who stabbed from behind mercilessly pierced the masks and throats of these heavy swordsmen, and even pinned some heavy swordsmen who tried to rush into the gun array to the ground, but they still couldn't stop the heavy swordsmen's attacks.

Seeing that the pursuers were blocked by the heavy swordsmen and stopped the attack, the Goguryeo rout, which was originally running around like headless flies, finally seemed to have found the backbone and gathered under the banner of Yuangai Suwen.

As the Tang army was slowed down in its pursuit, more and more Goguryeo troops gathered under the command of Yuangai Suwen were routed, although the Anxi army suffered more and more losses.

Even the Goguryeo light infantry joined the counterattack, and although the Anxi army rushed forward, the pressure on the spearmen did not lessen, but increased.

Li Siye, who had not experienced military exploits, suddenly panicked: "Father, what should I do now?" ”

The key is that the Modao Army did not arrive in Goguryeo with Chen Ying, after all, in Chen Ying's impression, there are very few flat mountains in Goguryeo, and the disadvantages of the Modao Army will be infinitely magnified here.

However, seeing that the soldiers of the Anxi Army were killed in battle, still shouting and attacking, Chen Ying's head was hot, and he roared: "Let the hook and sickle lancers go!" ”

In fact, the cavalry faced this kind of swordsman to specialize in the ground three ways, but it was the housekeeping ability of Yue Fei's pro-army in history. It was with this combination of strong crossbows, light horses, and lying knives on the ground that Yue Fei beat the Jin army to the ground.

Chen Ying naturally knew that this kind of swordsman was powerful, and if the cavalry rushed forward, he would definitely suffer heavy losses. However, it was only a heavy cavalry, and the hook and sickle cavalry was not a light cavalry, nor was it a heavy cavalry, in fact, this hook and sickle cavalry did not have the excellent defensive ability of the heavy cavalry, nor did it lose the flexibility and mobility of the light cavalry.

However, the biggest advantage of the hook and sickle is that the gun is very long, with the advantage of being an inch long and an inch strong.

Sure enough, the hook and sickle cavalry, who charged in a dense formation, neatly stabbed the hook and sickle diagonally.

Just as the Goguryeo swordsmen were about to chop off the horse's legs, they suddenly found themselves flying,

The Hook Sickle Cavalry used their hook scythes to lift them off the ground one by one.

The hook and sickle is invincible.

All the way to the impact, a dead body.

Faced with the hook and sickle lancers of the Anxi army, Yuangai Suwen was once again in a state of confusion. old

"How so?"

Yuangai Suwen only led more than 30,000 Goguryeo elites to prepare to ambush Chen Ying. It's just that he never thought that this time he hit a hard stubble.

Lu Yuan Taizuo, the big pair on the city wall of Pyongyang, finally woke up slowly, he saw that the number of Yuan Gai Suwen outside the city was less than 5,000, and he could be overwhelmed by the Tang army's military formation at any time, at this time, he finally ordered: "Yuan Pure Land, you go out and take your brother back!" ”

Yuan Pure Land is the second son of Yuan Taizuo, at the age of twenty-two, which is the age when the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

He didn't say a word, turned around and walked towards the city.

Gao Jianwu was shocked.

The combat effectiveness of the Tang army was vividly displayed, and it was not at all something that Goguryeo could match. Yang Wanchun's headquarters in the north had been driven by Li Shiji from Goseong-yeong-gaku, less than 300 miles from Pyongyang.

It can be said that now Goguryeo has run its ropes, but fortunately, he had the foresight, as early as when Li Shiji was in Liaodong, he had already sent Mo Lizhi (deputy prime minister) boy to the Tang Dynasty to prepare for peace talks.

Just as Chen Ying led a large army to meet Yuangai Suwen to fight under the city of Pyongyang, Chang'an City welcomed a delegation from Goguryeo. The Goguryeo envoys were mainly Mo Lizhi boys. Mo Lizhi was an official position set up in the late Goguryeo period specifically to suppress the father and son of Lu Yuan Taizuo and Yuan Gai Suwen, which can be compared with the right servant of Shangshu in the Tang Dynasty.

In the face of such a standard of mission, Li Jiancheng, a generous emperor, did not control Goguryeo in terms of specifications, but sent Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to be responsible for the reception and negotiations.

As soon as the Goguryeo delegation arrived at the protocol where they stayed, Mo Lizhi couldn't wait to ask Tang Jian for a change.

Tang Jian readily agreed.

The boy said to Tang Jian imposingly: "About this war......"

Without waiting for the boy to finish speaking, Tang Jian said mercilessly: "Regarding this war, the responsibility lies all with Goguryeo, if you can implement it, since the great cause for ten years, the former Goguryeo king Gao Yuan signed a surrender table, and regarded my Tang Dynasty as the suzerain, and forever as a vassal minister, then this war will not happen." It's just that you Goguryeo people are too self-righteous, and we Datang have given you a chance, but you don't know how to cherish ......"

The boy was deeply influenced by Han culture, and after Tang Jian's tirade was finished, he said eloquently: "The Tang Dynasty's military operations in Liaodong and Pyongyang are naked aggression, a ruthless trampling on the sovereignty of a completely independent country, and a trampling on justice!" ”

Hearing this, Tang Jian's face became colder and colder.

The boy continued: "We strongly appeal to the Tang Dynasty to respect the sovereignty of Goguryeo, we Goguryeo are peace-loving, and I hope that the Tang Dynasty will immediately stop military operations!" Both sides exercise restraint, stop military confrontation, replace confrontation with dialogue, and return to the negotiating table! ”

Tang Jian said indifferently: "Don't leave the branch, I see that you still haven't woken up!" ”

The boy looked puzzled.

Tang Jian turned around and left.

The boy looked at the entourage next to him and said, "What does he mean?" ”

The attendant did not dare to answer, under the pressure of the boy.

The attendant had to say: "What he means is to say, don't dream anymore!" ”
