The trumpet sounded.

The autumn wind rolls up the flags, and the hunt flies.

The Chinese army came galloping down.

"The sub-general has an order, and he will attack in the front compartment!"

Front-of-the-line flag.

Du Luo Cheng was dressed in the armor given by the emperor, holding a Shang Fang horse lance, wearing a Shang Fang horse sword at his waist, and carrying a Shang Fang bow, he squinted and looked ahead.

This is the hills and mountains northeast of Wuliluo, where 5,000 Goguryeo soldiers and 2,000 Goguryeo soldiers who went out of the city to meet were defeated by Luo Yi last time and rushed to the mountains here.

As Luo Yi expected, these people finally couldn't stay still.

Although the terrain in the mountains was dangerous, these Goguryeo people lacked food and food, and in just half a month, they were almost exhausted of food and grass, and had to go out of the mountains to fight.

Six thousand Goguryeo soldiers, eager to fight, tried to fight again before they were exhausted. Or, break through the Sui army's defense line and enter the city of Wuliluo, where there is a fortified fortress, and you must have enough food and grass equipment. Either it depends on whether it can break through the Sui army's defense line on the bank of the Liao River and retreat to Liaodong.

Otherwise, if they continue to stay in this mountain, they will not last a few days, and they will starve to death.

There were 6,000 Goguryeo troops, but the formation of the breakthrough was with the foot soldiers in front and the cavalry on the side.

About 4,000 foot soldiers formed four phalanxes, arranged in a prismatic pattern, about 2,000 cavalry on each side.

Qi Biao reminded Luo Cheng, "These Goguryeo people seem to be ready to fight to the death, you see that they have completely abandoned the camp behind them, and they are not ready to retreat at all." ”

"With these 6,000 people, you want to rush out?" Lao Jia said disdainfully, not to mention that the first army here today is waiting for work, even it has an advantage in numbers. After resting and replenishing, the number of the First Army has now increased rather than decreased, reaching 16,000 men. The front compartment alone was enough for 6,000 soldiers.

Shi Meng said on the side, "The Goguryeo light cavalry is very powerful, but their foot soldiers are also very brave. It is said that when I was in the south of the Sui Dynasty, the Goguryeo people also planned to send troops to the west of the sea to rescue, but later the queen of Chen was too incompetent and was destroyed in just a few months, so Goguryeo did not send troops. ”

Luo Cheng's eyes were fixed on the light horses on the wings of the Goguryeo people.

"Looking at these light horse costumes, it doesn't seem to be Goguryeo, right?"

These light horsemen were more savage, bald and braided, mostly wearing leather armor, and their helmets were also interesting, all of which were the heads of various beasts of prey. What tiger heads, bull heads, wolf heads, bear heads, and even wild boar heads, I don't know how they managed to preserve these ferocious beast heads so well and make them into helmets.

"I seem to have seen the boar leather armor and the bear helmet, well, if I expected it to be good, these light horsemen are the cavalry of the Wild Tribe. It is very likely that it is the people of the Baishan tribe who are attached to the Goguryeo people. These people don't look barbaric and backward, but in fact they are extremely brave, so be careful. Shi Meng reminded Luo Cheng.

The horn sounded louder.

The drums of war are like thunder, this is the Chinese army urging the front compartment to face the battle.

"Looks like it's going to be an uphill battle."

Luo Cheng didn't want to fight this kind of tough battle in his heart, because this kind of battle would obviously cause heavy casualties. He prefers to fight sports battles, what to rush behind enemy lines, what to raid enemy camps, what to encircle and send reinforcements, and what to lure the enemy into ambushes. But now he is just a front-chamber general, and this battle is commanded by Luo Yi.

"Pass my general order, and the second infantry regiment will attack."

Wave the flag.

The flag-bearer on the side of the 2nd Infantry Regiment received the order accurately, and then waved the flag in reply.

"Partial generals, they will all make my second regiment attack!"

Under the banner of the Second Infantry Regiment, General Luo Cunxiao frowned, facing the six thousand desperate Goguryeo people, why did Luo Cheng still let them attack the Second Regiment?

Compared with the other three regiments, their second infantry regiment had more reinforcements and was weaker. Even if it's not weak, the whole group is only 2,000 people.

"General, is there a mistake in the military order?"

Battalion captain Wang Junkuo said with a look of embarrassment.

The fourth child rolled his eyes and glared at him, "Scared?" ”

Wang Junkuo's face flushed, "I'm afraid of an egg, when will I be afraid?" ”

"It's good not to be afraid, no matter what the fifth thinks, since this order has come down, it must be carried out to the letter. This is the first battle of my 2nd Infantry Regiment, and none of you are allowed to encourage me. Drumming, trumpeting, on! ”

The flag soldiers in the regiment waved the flag and commanded each battalion and each team with the command flag.

In front of the four battalions.

Dou Jiande was holding a seven-foot two-handed sword, wrapped around his body in a bright light armor, and behind him was the flag bearer in the team holding the team flag. In the back, a hundred foot soldiers were all armed with spears.

It is false to say that he is not nervous, and Dou Jiande did not expect that he would just join the front compartment, and within three days, he would have to go to the battlefield to meet the enemy.

Facing the Goguryeo soldiers who came with neat steps and dull silence, his heart beat faster.

Turning his head and looking at the left and right, on the left was the little brother Liu Heimin, who was holding a big knife at this time. On the right is the old man Sun Anzu, carrying a handful of thistle terrestris bones.

His brother-in-law Wang Fubao and his brother Gao Shida were far away, and they were all standing at the front of the team like themselves.

The war drums didn't stop, Dou Jiande didn't dare to stop, and led the team forward.

He tried his best to walk as smoothly as possible, so as not to mess up his team of people and horses that had just been pulled up, and took a few steps to look back, but fortunately, although these people were extremely nervous, they were in good shape, and tried to keep up with the beat of the drum and keep the same.

Behind.

Shi Meng watched the Second Cavalry Regiment slowly meet it, and asked with interest, "General, the 2,000 people of the 2nd Infantry Regiment are facing 6,000, I'm afraid I can't win, right?" ”

Wei Zheng said with a smile, "You can't win the battle, this is not six thousand bandits, this is six thousand Goguryeo troops." Last time, General Luo Ya personally led the main force to fight with them, but he only beheaded more than a thousand. ”

"What does that mean?"

Luo Cheng rode on the horse, his hand pressed the hilt of the sword on his waist, his eyes stared ahead, and he saw that the second infantry regiment had almost met the enemy, before turning his head to the herald and saying, "Ling Siye led the infantry regiment to line up and prepare to meet the enemy." Tell him it's time to see him in action. ”

Luo Yi asked Luo Cheng to lead 6,000 soldiers in the front compartment to meet the battle, but Luo Cheng asked 2,000 people from the second regiment to meet the battle, and their practical intentions were the same. Luo Yi planned to use the front compartment to meet the enemy and resist the Goguryeo, and then he led most of the counterattack. And Luo Cheng didn't want to get directly involved in the melee, and planned to let the second regiment go first.

Wei Zheng stroked a few locks of beard, very much military and strategist, and said with a smile, "Is this going to use the Second Infantry Regiment to defeat the enemy first, and then lure the Goguryeo formation to break?" Then step a regiment to block the enemy, and then charge with cavalry? ”

Luo Cheng nodded.

"Wei Ji Room is really as wise as a torch, if we fight hard with the Goguryeo people, it will be a casualty. We have 6,000 in front of us and 6,000 of them, and even if we kill 1,000 enemies, we have to hurt ourselves 800, and we can't get it. ”

Therefore, Luo Cheng was still thinking about how to break the current formation of the Goguryeo people, not letting them continue to rush over together, and letting them separate the formation, then there would be some opportunities.

"Will the Goguryeo people be fooled?"

"Not necessarily."

"Will the fourth general Luo really be defeated?"

"There's really no difference between a true defeat and a blits." Luo Cheng squinted his eyes and said softly, "Anyway, we are not alone, and there are 10,000 soldiers and horses in the middle and rear compartments behind us." ”

His gaze crossed over the countless soldiers and fell on the front few flags, which were Dou Jiande, Liu Heimin and other five Hebei heroes.

He seemed to be talking to himself, "Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, Liu Heimin, the king of Handong, Anzu, the prince of the sheep, Gao Shida, the king of Yizhou, and the general Wang Fubao, I want to see if these five people have the strength to be called the king and the prince." ”

Wei Zheng turned his head, as if he was puzzled by what Luo Cheng was saying, but Luo Cheng did not explain.

Before the battle.

The drums of war stopped.

The horn goes out.

Dou Jiande stood up violently, the big sword in his hand slammed into the ground, he took the longbow from his back, took out a pot of long arrows with him, and inserted them into the soil under his feet.

The other soldiers did the same.

From the moment he decided to sign up in the camp, he had expected such a day.

Maybe I will die here today, but I have no regrets. Many times, Dou Jiande will also recall the glory of his ancestors, and think about how glorious it is for his ancestors to be crowned kings.

It's just that I didn't expect that the moment when I needed to risk my life would be so early.

Longbow in hand, wind, try to pull.

He felt that courage was accumulating, and it didn't matter if this moment came early, only by taking this step could he Dou Jiande go further.

No success comes casually, even the eighteen-year-old will Luo Cheng, that is the status that dozens of big and small battles have today.

The Great Sui Mansion has one million soldiers, and if you want to get ahead, it is not so simple.

Wang Junkuo, the captain of the battalion, galloped in front of the battle, shouting orders.

"General Loa has handed over the glory of the First Army to our front chamber. And Luo Du handed over the heavy responsibility of the front compartment to our second infantry regiment. General Luo Bi trusted the first battle of the 2nd Regiment to our 4th Battalion. I, Wang Junkuo, was originally Luo Du's personal guard, and it was the first time that I was in charge of the four battalions. In any case, this battle is the first battle of our four battalions, and it is also the first battle of our Wang Junkuo and you, although there are thousands of Goguryeo thieves in front of us, we will never retreat. ”

"Wait for the thief to take nearly sixty steps, and the crossbowman will fire a crossbow. When the thief was nearly fifty paces, everyone released arrows. When the thief is close to twenty paces, stop firing the arrows. Raise your weapons to meet the enemy and kill the thief! ”

Dou Jiande was burly, and watched with some envy Wang Junlang, who was much younger than himself, riding a tall horse and mobilizing in front of the battle. He thought that if he had made great achievements in this battle, perhaps it would not be long before he could be promoted to the rank of colonel, and at that time, he would no longer have to stand at the front of the team to kill the enemy.

Rather than killing the enemy with a sword and a sword, he would rather ride his horse and command in front of the formation.

The enemy is getting closer and closer.

Dou Jiande picked up a long arrow and mounted his bow.

He pulled out the two-stone longbow with great force, held his breath, and shot an arrow at the Goguryeo.

The arrow flew away, and finally fell with all its might.

The arrows were stuck in the open space between the two armies, and the white feathers of the arrows were particularly conspicuous.

This arrow is a hundred paces away from the enemy.

Dou Jiande picked up another arrow and wound his bow again.

This time, he waited a few breaths before firing the arrow.

The arrows flew away like meteors, but landed closer.

He looked at it and nodded in satisfaction.

This arrow was almost exactly fifty paces away from him.

These two arrows are not meant to kill the enemy, but only to mark the distance.

Dou Jiande turned his head to the whole team behind him and said, "When the enemy passes the first arrow, raise the bow." When the enemy passes the second arrow, shoot me with all your might, remember to shoot it all with a hang! ”
