Chapter 532: The Praying Mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind
Thunder and lightning.
Tempest howls.
The 80,000 Goguryeo army attacked under the order of Yuangai Suwen.
Seeing the military formation that the Sui army hastily changed, Yuan Gai Suwen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, does Luo Cheng think that this will be able to stop my North Korean army? With these scattered small phalanxes, they actually hid the cavalry in the formation, what do you want to do, let the cavalry out in the middle of the battle? Hahaha, in vain he is also called able to fight a good war, is it not even as good as the infantry without the impact of the cavalry, and the cavalry must be assembled and used such a simple reason? ”
The more he looked, the more he found that the Sui army's military formation was full of loopholes, and the 30,000 Sui cavalry had at least five or six thousand people, but Luo Cheng actually scattered and hid all these cavalry in small infantry formations, what does this mean, the baby cavalry is reluctant to use it?
And his infantry, all reduced to zero, is this the shock of the Korean cavalry that looks down on them?
Wouldn't such one small piece after another just rush and collapse, and then hand it over to the infantry army behind to cover it up directly?
"Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng, I haven't fought with you before, I only heard them brag about how good you are, and now it seems that you just know how to guerrilla and know how to exploit loopholes. The decisive battle of the frontal army, how can you arrange the formation so indiscriminately, this is really a good opportunity given to me by God, today, I will personally cut off Luo Cheng's head and sacrifice the countless people who died under his hands. ”
"Rush, run over!"
Yuangai Suwen did not reserve it, and sent more than 20,000 cavalry out of the 80,000 army.
Although their light cavalry equipment is not as good as that of the Sui army, no matter how you say it, it is also 20,000 light cavalry, and these 10,000 horses are galloping, which is amazing. A horse with four legs, more than 20,000 horses, that is, 100,000 legs, so many horses' hooves stepping over, enough to crush the scattered small phalanx of the Sui army one after another.
The momentum of the galloping horses is indeed amazing.
The earth is shaking.
"Prepare for the onslaught!"
A Sui officer in the phalanx roared loudly.
The heavily armored heavy infantry slammed a large shield more than half a man high into the ground, and they leaned sideways against the shield.
They were followed by three rows of spearmen, dressed in lighter armor and spears between their shields.
"Can our Nine-Ring Formation really defeat the Goguryeo people?" A nominal attendant couldn't help but ask, the thousands of cavalry charged, followed by the boundless momentum was indeed terrifying.
Luo Cheng said with a smile, "Remember, there is no invincible military formation, and there is no invincible army, on the battlefield, the emphasis is on adapting measures to local conditions, judging the time and seizing the situation, at the right time, choosing the right place, matching the right troops, and putting out the right formation, this is the real way to use troops." ”
"Our nine-ring formation has many shortcomings, but at this moment, here, it is enough to meet my strategic and tactical needs."
Such a phalanx is not suitable for a long battle, not suitable for pursuit, or even for escaping, but if it is only to lure the enemy deeper, just to withstand a round of charges from the Goguryeo and suck them in.
If you fight well, the infantry can defeat the cavalry, and you can win more with less, the key is still in calculation. It was calculated before the war, and it was enough to execute it in wartime.
Step by step, the Goguryeo people attacked according to Luo Cheng's calculations before the war, and Luo Cheng naturally had a greater chance of winning.
The cavalry swept in, far away, and had already begun to shoot arrows.
The various phalanxes of the Sui army also immediately launched a counterattack.
Ballistas, foot crossbows, hand crossbows, and bows and arrows were fired at the same time, and before the two sides were in direct contact, the air was already full of arrows.
The cavalry that rushed in front did not fall, but they still rushed wildly, and those Sui army formations in the front also fell to the ground from time to time.
Getting closer.
"Steady!" A spearman was chanting.
He took the lead and plunged the tail of the spear diagonally into the ground, and then the whole person also squatted and clamped the spear.
The shock is coming.
The Moswordsman stood outside the shield.
The Goguryeo cavalry rushed into the Sui formation very easily, and there were no continuous shield arrays and spear arrays like walls to block them, and these cavalry broke through too easily.
As they galloped in, they mocked the ignorance of the army.
Dare to let them into the battle, is this Sui army general all?
In front of the phalanx.
Ten Mo swordsmen took a step forward, and these Mo swordsmen, who were wearing the full armor of eighty pounds of heavy infantry, stood in front of the shield like an iron tower, and they raised their eight-zhang long Mo swords.
The extra-long blade was so bright in the light of thunder and lightning.
"Wind!"
Mo Daohuo roared and took the lead in slashing, and the other nine brothers followed suit.
Ten Mo knives waved, and a lightning bolt seemed to pass through the air, the knife light was like electricity, and the knife shadow was like a wall.
The horsemen who rushed to the front had just swung their spears, but the men and horses were already shrouded in sword light.
The white knife flashed, and the blood flashed.
Broken apart.
"Wind!"
Mo Dao Huo Chang didn't care how many he slashed, he continued to roar and swung his knife again.
A Goguryeo cavalry stabbed the spear fiercely on a Mo knife hand, and the tip of the spear pierced a string of sparks, making a sound of recognizing people's teeth, but it failed to pierce the heavy armor, and the Mo knife hand turned around at a critical moment, allowing the spear to slide away, unable to fully use the force to pierce in.
Mo Dao Hand was rushed back two steps in succession, and finally pressed against the big shield behind him.
Regardless of the boredom in his chest, he steadied his foot, held the Mo knife and swung the knife forward.
Chop.
Chop.
Chop.
The Mo swordsmen were desperate, and through the helmet and armor that left only a gap, they only knew how to swing and slash.
The archers and cavalry behind him were also firing arrows.
Between the various phalanxes, there were Sui army's flying arrows and crossbows everywhere, and the adjacent phalanxes supported each other, fiercely shooting the cavalry that galloped into the middle of the phalanx.
A Mo swordsman was directly hit by a cavalryman into the shield array behind him, and the knight swung his iron bone and smashed it on the helmet of the Mo swordsman, and the helmet smashed a hole, and the Mo swordsman was stoned to death.
Behind the shield, several spearmen stabbed their spears into the body of the damned Goguryeo cavalryman, and did not even let go of his horse.
The fighting was fierce.
The moment the two armies collided, several phalanxes in the front row had already broken through, and countless Goguryeo cavalry rushed in all the way.
But fortunately, except for several phalanxes in the front row that were directly broken, the later phalanxes were more stable and held the first wave.
"Raise the red order flag, summon General Mo Chen and they will dispatch, the big fish has entered the net, and the net can be closed."
The Goguryeo light cavalry rode proudly all the way into battle, constantly rushing forward, and more infantry followed.
Hou Mo Chen Yi received the order and immediately led 10,000 elite cavalry to kill from behind the Goguryeo people, and directly charged the back of the Goguryeo infantry.
Another 10,000 foot cavalry also came out from the flank and attacked the flank of the Goguryeo.
A moment ago, the crumbling Sui army, which was still being impacted by the Goguryeos, immediately became a counterattack on three sides.
The 80,000 Goguryeo army was sucked by Luo Cheng's sponge-like nine-ring array, and it was impossible to turn around and regroup immediately. The 10,000-foot cavalry attacked sideways and directly attacked the junction of the Goguryeo infantry cavalry, cutting off their infantry at the waist.
The 10,000 elite cavalry led by Hou Mo Chen Yi came out from behind the infantry and attacked and killed.
When Yuangai Suwen found out that something was wrong, his more than 20,000 cavalry had been firmly absorbed by Luo Cheng's 30,000-strong Nine-Ring Hollow Array, and it was difficult to turn around at all.
Now, it depends on whose sword is sharper, whose fighting spirit is more intense, and who can fight to the end, who is the winner.
When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
This battle will determine who will belong to Liaodong and Korea in the future!
