Chapter 271: Ride

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves shattered the night.

In the camp.

Hearing this sound, Luo Cheng laughed.

The smile was a little proud, but also a little relaxed. If he hadn't heard the sound of the horse's hooves tonight, he might have been uneasy. When I heard it, I finally felt at ease.

"Why is the general laughing?" Wang Tiehan asked curiously, the Goguryeo people dared to raid in the dark, which showed that they were very confident, and most of the Sui troops in the battalion were in the first battle, and many people did not say that they had no experience in night fighting, and even had night blindness in the dark night, and they couldn't see clearly at night, so this battle was not easy to fight.

"The method of using soldiers, ten is to encircle, five is to attack, multiple is to fight, the enemy can be divided, less can escape, if not, it can be avoided. Therefore, the small enemy is strong, and the big enemy is also captured. Luo Cheng smiled and said a piece of the art of war.

"What do you mean, I don't understand." The honest man Wang Tiehan continued.

This passage is from Sun Tzu's Art of War, which means that there must be principles in fighting a war, for example, if I am ten times the enemy, then I must encircle and destroy the enemy. If they are five times outnumbered by the enemy, they will attack. If you are twice as strong as the enemy, you will have to work hard to defeat the enemy, and if you are evenly matched, you will have to try to disperse each of them. If the army is weaker than the enemy, you have to avoid fighting, so if the weaker side fights to the death, it will become a prisoner of the strong enemy, understand? ”

Wang Tiehan scratched his head, "But general, aren't we the weak side now, if we are still stubbornly defending, wouldn't we be a prisoner of the Goguryeo people." ”

Wang Junkuo sneered while listening, and sneered disdainfully at Wang Tiehan, who was also listed as one of the five great King Kongs with him, "Are you stupid? How are we on the weak side? We have 6,000 soldiers and horses, and 3,000 Goguryeo talents, which is twice as much as the enemy. Moreover, we were defending the camp, but the Goguryeo people were the one who came to attack. How can we be the strong side, and now the Goguryeo people don't know whether to live or die to fight hard, and they are bound to lose. ”

Guo Xiaoke also nodded, "According to what the general said, even if the strength of the Goguryeo people is not weaker than ours, they are at most evenly matched with us, he should find a way to avoid fighting, but he wants to defeat us, this is the way to defeat." ”

"That's right, the garrison has a natural advantage, if it is defended according to a fortified city, the defenders can easily block seven times the enemy, if there is no shortage of food and grass, then it can hold out for at least a year under the siege of ten times the enemy." Luo Cheng said with a smile, "Now the Goguryeo people don't hit the south wall and don't look back, this is to send us heads, so that the brothers can cheer up and earn war achievements!" ”

The Goguryeo people launched a fierce onslaught.

This time, it was more aggressive than the tentative offensive during the day.

They really rushed straight to the camp, perhaps because the night gave them courage, a group of Goguryeo people Le Ma released arrows outside the camp, and pieces of arrows rained down from the sky.

This kind of cluster shooting is really fierce, especially in order to increase the lethality, they even use rockets.

So in the dark night, the sky was full of fire and rain like shooting stars.

This time, instead of besieging from all sides, the Goguryeo people attacked a little.

About 2,000 Goguryeo people released arrows to cover and suppress the defenders in the wall, and then hundreds of horsemen rushed directly into the camp with shields in their left hands and spears in their right hands.

"Did the Goguryeo people who saw the arrows being fired outside the camp? These bitches are standing so densely, and they are still motionless, this is the best target, let the hundred crossbows on the crossbow platform all be aimed at them by Lao Tzu, and shoot them hard. ”

Luo Cheng stood on the arrow tower and keenly discovered a flaw in the Goguryeo people.

They tried to suppress the defenders intensively with bows and arrows, but they gave up wandering and releasing arrows, which was indeed fierce in the rain of arrows, but it also made Luo Cheng's eyes shine.

Luo Cheng's camp of 6,000 people is not large, there are 100 crossbow platforms in the camp, and there are more than 100 arrow towers. Because of the small size of the camp, these ballistae turrets cover almost the entire camp.

Standing only thirty or forty paces away from the wall, the Goguryeo brigade rode lightly to shoot arrows, which was a good target.

The crossbow, which had not been wielding power during the day, finally got the order to attack.

The crossbows, which had already been twisted and ready to go, all adjusted their direction and aimed their crossbows at the dense Goguryeo light horsemen.

A crossbowman raised his wooden hammer and smashed it down.

The wooden hammer smashed on the crossbow machine, and the bowstring ejected.

With a loud buzz, seven spear-like crossbow guns on the big winch crossbow shot out.

Seven crossbows fired in unison, a seven-gun cart crossbow with a range of 700 steps, set up on a crossbow platform more than one zhang high, and shot at the Goguryeo light cavalry standing in a phalanx 50 steps away, this is simply a scene that all crossbowmen can't ask for.

With such a close distance, such a dense number of enemies, even the most inaccurate crossbow can shoot into the enemy crowd.

Seven ballistas roared in, directly piercing the Goguryeo people who were blocking the front, and after piercing one person, they were still castrated, and finally pierced through three people one after another before they were weakened and castrated, and pierced into the chest of the fourth person.

Only that seven-gun crossbow shot more than a dozen people this time.

A hundred large and small crossbows were fired at once, and at least more than 100 people were shot in this round.

And the crossbowmen on the arrow tower also held crossbows and shot wildly.

This is a real rain of arrows, far stronger than the Goguryeo people.

However, this beautiful and ferocious rain of arrows only lasted for a short time.

Goguryeo's ferocious offensive was crushed by direct fire.

More than 3,000 bows and crossbows were shot out in less than a few moments, at least tens of thousands of arrows.

The crossbowmen almost collapsed.

The area in front of the camp was completely covered with arrows, like a large area of arrow grass that had suddenly grown.

Everyone shot six or seven arrows desperately.

This is an absolute saturation attack.

As soon as the Goguryeo offensive was crushed, the corpses of the Goguryeo people who charged were scattered all over the place.

And the 2,000 light horsemen who were in the back to shoot arrows and cover were even more shot because of the dense piles.

"Fuck, happy." Qi Biao's fat face was full of fierce light, extremely excited, and ran to Luo Cheng and said loudly, "General, the Goguryeo people are finished, they will lose at least more than five hundred people in this round, they will collapse, and they will definitely escape." Let me lead someone to kill! ”

Luo Cheng pointed to the side with his hand, under the banner of the Chinese army, I don't know when, Luo Shixin had already put on his armor and mounted his horse, and the hundred black light heavy horses under his command were all neatly draped.

"Captain Qi, Shixin has been holding them back for a long time, this first formation, let them go first."

Shixin nodded to Luo Cheng, and then put down the mask.

"Open the camp gates!"

"Open the camp gates!"

Wang Xiongdan carried a Mo knife and rode his horse in front of him and shouted, asking people to open the camp gate and let the black light ride out.

Luo Shixin and ten Yanyun horsemen led a hundred black light iron horsemen and rode forward.

At first it was a slow walk, slowly accelerating, trotting through the open camp gate, faster and faster.

The long lance erected high slowly fell, pointing diagonally forward, and the black swallow-tailed flag hanging under the lance fluttered.

A hundred heavy riders galloped at full speed, cracking like a landslide, unstoppable, unstoppable.

Jia Runpu and Qi Guobiao both turned on their horses and roared, "Light cavalry battalion, follow the brothers of the heavy cavalry battalion, kill!" ”
