Chapter 272: Chasing
The black light iron horse is cared for as an uncle every day, the march is in a carriage, the food is still a small stove, and there is meat every day, although this day is cool, but every day is stared at by the envy and jealousy of other government soldiers, and it is very depressing after a long time.
Now that they have finally received the order to attack, they are all like tigers out of prison.
Even a simple person like Wang Tiehan sighed, "The general sent Liulang out, and this battle will be won." ”
But no, usually like a treasure, I'm afraid of bumping into it, and sending it out at this time is naturally a winning situation.
"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while." Luo Cheng said to Shi Meng beside him, "My hundred black light iron horses are baby bumps, and I have handed them over to you Yanyun Iron Horse for so many days, I hope to see some effects today." ”
Shi Meng said confidently, "Although we haven't taken over for a long time, we can guarantee that the general will see the effect of their rebirth in a while." It's just that the time is too short, otherwise this hundred heavy horses can directly break through the 10,000-person infantry formation. ”
Outside the camp.
The Goguryeo people were covered and attacked by the fierce rain of arrows of the Sui army, and the fight was scattered and miserable. This is the case on the battlefield, one wrong step can lead to a place from which there is no return. In the first attempt to attack, although the Goguryeo people also suffered more than 100 casualties under the Sui army's arrows, they did not test the true strength of the Sui army's crossbow arrows.
They mistakenly wanted to raid at night, wanting to use bows and arrows to cover a strong attack, but unexpectedly, they just let the Sui army's hidden arrows and crossbows kill move play to the extreme.
The gates of the camp were wide open.
One hundred black lights rode under the leadership of Luo Shixin, and the tiger came out of the prison, rushing at full speed, rampage.
Relying on the two layers of thick armor on their bodies and the armor on their horses, even if the arrows on the opposite side shoot wildly, they are not afraid and rush like this.
Ordinary arrows have no effect.
Even if the enemy rides with guns and bayonets, they are not afraid, as long as they are not fatal, they can continue to charge.
Savage Rush.
Although there were still more than 2,000 Goguryeo light cavalry, after being covered by the arrow array, their morale dropped greatly, especially the formation was chaotic. The hundred black light iron horses that Luo Shixin carried were like a hurricane.
"One hundred against three thousand, such momentum, it really deserves to be an armored horse!"
Wei Zheng stood on the arrow tower, looking at the momentum of the heavy cavalry charging under the light of the fire outside the camp, and marveled.
"In general, it is one hundred against three thousand, in fact, the Goguryeo people are still in chaos now, and when Shixin and their hundred horsemen charged, they only faced a few hundred horsemen or even a hundred horsemen, so they were actually not weak on the local battlefield, but still an advantage."
If there were no follow-up light cavalry and foot soldiers to respond, Luo Cheng would not dare to let these hundred people out. Once the Goguryeo people reacted, they were able to fly kites and tire the heavy riders to death.
But what Luo Cheng needed to do now was not to annihilate them, nor to pursue them, but to let them last a little longer with the chaos and disorder that the arrow salvo was fired at the Goguryeo people just now.
Don't let the Goguryeo people come back to their senses, don't give them time to adjust.
The light cavalry battalion led by Jia Runpu and Qi Biao was racing wildly with hundreds of light horsemen on horseback, with heavy horsemen in front to clear the way for them, and they now only needed to surround and slaughter those Goguryeo light cavalry that had been scattered and scattered.
Goguryeo light horse, like a thin piece of ice on the water, knotted very broad, but very thin, originally a piece of cement, but by the heavy riding rush, is being fragmented.
The shattered ice was divided and surrounded by the light riders who followed behind.
The infantry led by Luo Siye and Luo Cunxiao also followed the shouts and killed.
This is an opportunity to beat the water dogs, how can you miss it.
"The Goguryeo people are on the run."
Wang Ziming also shouted excitedly.
"They were terrified, they were afraid, they were broken."
Luo Cheng stood there, looking at the battlefield in the distance, without speaking, but he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. His attack is actually very risky, after all, the other party is more than 2,000 light horsemen, with very strong mobility, and it is obviously more powerful than Luo Cheng's recruits.
Abandoning the camp to fight, that is an adventure.
But the opportunity is now, and it would be a pity not to take risks.
Luo Shixin was still charging with heavy horses, rushing and rushing, and whoever dared to stand in front of him would hit him and stab him and trample on him.
Until the horse was tired, the speed slowly slowed down.
Shixin stuck his blood-stained horse lance on the ground, and the black swallowtail flag fluttered.
The sky was bright.
When the riders saw the flag, they all stopped.
Qi Biao rode by, saw Shixin's banner, laughed and shouted, "Little Liu, it's not dead yet, it's good, and I'll hand it over to us next." ”
The heavy riders couldn't rush anymore, but they could chase the light riders for a while.
Luo Shixin lifted his mask and nodded at the fat man.
Qi Biao rode his horse and continued to chase wildly, and the standard-bearer behind him continued to follow with the flag held high.
Shixin watched these light rider brothers whizz past him, calmed his breath, and turned over from his horse with great difficulty, and dismounted, and the rest of the heavy riders also fell off their horses.
Then they led their horses and approached Shixin with heavy steps.
"Count!"
One hundred heavy horsemen attacked, and in the end there were ninety-three horses left.
"Folded seven horses?" Luo Shixin frowned, this loss seemed a little difficult for him to accept.
A Yan Yun rode the road, "It's just that the seven horsemen haven't arrived, there may be some left behind, there may be injuries, but not all of them are gone." ”
Shixin nodded, "Take down the crossbow and wind it, and everyone will form a circle according to what the head of the sect has taught, and defend against the enemy on the spot." ”
The heavy cavalry that lost its momentum was actually not even comparable to the light cavalry, and at this time they were the most powerless, and the infantry had not yet kept up, so they could only form a formation on their own.
The fighting continued for the middle of the night.
It was finally dawn.
The sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops came from the camp, and Luo Cheng also sent heralds out of the camp to order the troops to be collected.
"Wan Sheng!"
Bursts of cheers rang out in all directions.
Carrying the rising sun on their backs, Jia Runpu and Qi Guoyuan rode back, their spears were inserted with the heads of Goguryeo light horses, and their saddles were also led by the war horses of Goguryeo light horses.
There were no captives, only heads.
Their blood-stained armor and colorful bodies were draped, but their faces were filled with the warmest smiles, and they sang war songs and returned victorious.
The people went out of the camp, cleaned the battlefield in all directions, collected arrows, and collected those that could still be used, and pulled out the arrows and brought them back if they could not be used. As for knives and guns, etc., they will not let go, and every piece of armor will be brought back.
Even if it is a horse that dies in battle, it will not be spared, and now that there is enough time, these horse corpses will be divided, horse meat will become a supplement to military rations, and horse skins will be simply processed and utilized.
Last night, the Sui army defeated the Goguryeo light cavalry, and the two schools of Jia Qi led the light cavalry to pursue ten miles, with Luo Siye and Luo Cunxiao and their brigade of infantry in the back to cover and kill, the frightened Goguryeo people did not dare to turn back from beginning to end, just blindly fled.
Luo Cheng hit a horse to greet him.
Qi Biao threw a Goguryeo battle flag in front of his horse, "Report to the general, last night I waited for a light cavalry to cover up and kill Goguryeo for ten miles, and stopped when I heard the gold, and returned victorious!" ”
Luo Cheng couldn't hide the joy on his face, and couldn't help nodding, the results of this night were abundant, and according to preliminary statistics, at least more than 1,000 enemies were annihilated, which was a rare result.
