Sun Li looked at a disc in his hand, the compass on it was always pointing in one direction. He said, "The direction is correct, we are advancing in the southeast direction." ”

Zhang Chang also put down the monoculars he had been looking at and said, "General Gongsun, everything is normal ahead, and no Goguryeo troops have been found. Divide your troops! ”

Now, Liaodong glass production technology has made great progress. Telescopes made of bamboo tubes have been armed to the rank of centurion and above.

In fact, the output can be rationed even for the length of the length, but it must be kept secret, so there is no mass production, and it is only rationed to officers of the rank of 100 commanders and above.

Gongsun Gong nodded and began to order: "Divide the troops, according to the plan!" ”

The 20,000 soldiers of Xuansu County were immediately divided into forty teams and divided into forty villages and tribes within 100 miles of the border. After the looting, take the captives and belongings. They would meet near a county seat a hundred miles away. This is a plan that has been made before, and the scouts who are familiar with the terrain are also assigned to each team of men and horses as guides in advance.

Gongsun Mo, Zhang Chang, and Sun Li respectively led a team of men and horses to separate from Gongsun Gong, and Gongsun Gong only took 500 cavalry and 20 personal soldiers who were used as bodyguards to set off to a fishing and hunting tribe in the middle.

The tribe fishes around a 10-mile lake, with small dirt hills and dense trees, and can usually hunt hares, pheasants, roe deer and other prey. Life is relatively rich.

But today, the peaceful life is broken by the sound of horses' hooves.

In the distance, patches of dust and smoke rose up, and the dust and smoke gradually expanded, turning into dark clouds. A team of horses came from far and near to the small tribe of Goguryeo.

The leader of the tribe, standing outside the tent, looked at the horse team in the distance, and wondered: Could it be that the king of Goguryeo, Bogu, is going to collect taxes again? Or do you want to draw strong men to fight again?

Gongsun Gong's horse team, 200 meters away from the tribe, was divided into two teams. Instead of breaking into the tribe, it began to gallop around the tribe. While galloping on the horse, rockets began to be fired.

Rockets fell on tents, haystacks, blazing in patches. The old and weak women and children in the tent cried and cried, and ran out with rolling and crawling.

Instead of fighting the fire, they picked up the polished wooden bow and began to shoot at the enemy, under the reprimand of the headman. The young and powerful members of the tribe went out to fish and hunt. But the elderly at home, children over 10 years old, can shoot arrows.

It's just that the range of the wooden bow is not far, and the soldiers and horses of Liaodong are also 100 meters away from the tribe when they are close. Even if an arrow hits a soldier, the power is not great.

In recent years, Liaodong's economy has developed greatly and it has become rich. The cavalry basically wore silk underwear, which was the uniform issued in the army. Silk can prevent arrows, even if you shoot into the body, pull the silk outward, you can pull out the arrow, reduce the wound of the wound, and increase the survival rate of the soldier.

The pro-soldiers wore whale skin armor, which was lighter and stronger than ordinary cowhide armor, so they rushed forward; Ordinary soldiers wear leather armor made of cowhide and sheepskin, which can also effectively protect the body. The cost of whale skin armor is lower than that of cowhide and sheepskin, but it is limited by production and has not been promoted to the whole army. It is expected that in a few years, the cowhide armor and sheepskin armor can be completely replaced.

Seeing that the archery was ineffective, the leader ordered: "Change the knife and gun." Kill it! ”

More than 200 old people, children, and dozens of young men who remained in the tribe wore leather robes and fur hats, and rushed out of the village with iron knives and spears, braving arrows to fight the soldiers and horses of Liaodong.

It's September, and it's not too cold. The old sheepskin jacket worn by the Goguryeo people is used as a battle armor, which is equivalent to leather armor.

Gongsun Gong smiled coldly and shouted, "Change the knife!" Hand-to-hand combat! ”

The soldiers hung up their bows and arrows, took off the Xiangyang iron swords, and urged their horses to meet them.

At present, the third generation of Xiangyang iron knife has been released, which is made of alloy steel mixed with other metals. The main thing is to arm the 30,000 iron cavalry of Liaodong County. The soldiers of Xuansu County used the first and second generation of Xiangyang iron knives that were redressed in Liaodong County, but they were also extremely sharp, and they were not comparable to the iron knives of the Goguryeo people.

Gongsun Gong's men and horses were all cavalry, but in fact, he could also use kite flying tactics to shoot arrows from a distance and grind the Goguryeo people to death. That would reduce battle damage, or even kill a single soldier.

But Gongsun Gong saw that there were many of them, so he didn't care about preparing to fight with the tribe, he preferred the feeling of face to face and seeing blood.

The Goguryeo people also rode horses, but there were not many of them. This tribe is fishing, not grazing, so there are only about 20 young people riding horses. They all bravely danced their spears and rushed ahead.

The two sides screamed and collided together. The Xiangyang iron knife slashed at the iron spear of Goguryeo, and with a click, the iron spear was broken in two. Then the Liaodong Army swung the knife again, and the young man who couldn't escape was cut in two. Even the powerful Liaodong soldiers cut off the heads of the Goguryeo horses.

The smell of blood was overflowing, and one by one Goguryeo Qingzhuang was cut under the horse, and those who did not die immediately wriggled on the ground, and the scene was tragic.

The follow-up tribal people also rushed to the front of the Liaodong military horses, stabbing and slashing one by one with spears and iron knives. Liaodong soldiers who were not careful were stabbed and cut down.

But the follow-up Liaodong cavalry also rushed up. Killing frantically against the people of Goguryeo.

There are more than 500 soldiers in Liaodong; The people of the Goguryeo tribe are small, only more than 300. The soldiers of Liaodong all rode high-headed horses, carried sharp weapons, and were well-trained professional soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles; Most of Goguryeo were old people and children, and their weapons were very poor, and they were swept down by war horses.

So in less than a quarter of an hour, the battle was over. More than 300 elderly people and children lay on the ground, most of them dead, and those who did not die were seriously injured. The head man is also dead.

The rest of the women, holding their young children, stood at the head of the village, staring blankly at the Liaodong soldiers. Behind it, inside the tribe was a raging fire. They don't know what their fate will be. But if they could live, no matter how difficult and difficult, they would not commit suicide.

Gongsun Gong's cold face did not look unbearable. He waved his hand and said, "Clean up the battlefield and kill all the wounded Goguryeo!" Kill the old man too! It is not allowed to embezzle property, all of it is handed over and distributed uniformly! ”

As the fire gradually extinguished, Liaodong soldiers interrogated the women and searched out some cellars from the ashes. Because it is colder in the north, every family has a cellar where they can store food or belongings.

Unfortunately, there were not many gold and copper coins, and the largest seizures were dried fish and salted meat. The Liaodong Army did not dislike it, and directly began to light a wooden fire, boil dried fish and salted meat, and eat a big meal.

As the day began to darken, the Goguryeo people who had returned from fishing docked their boats one after another, happily talking about today's harvest. When they came ashore, they were greeted by waves of arrows. The unarmed Goguryeo fishermen were thus ambushed by the Liaodong soldiers. Hundreds died, and hundreds were taken prisoner. The Liaodong soldiers tied them together with ropes, took the women and children, and rushed to the rendezvous point dozens of miles away the next day.

There, 2,000 soldiers will be dispatched to transport the prisoners of these forty villages and tribes, as well as the captured property, back to Xuansu County. The seized property has been registered, and according to the regulations of the Liaodong Army, the soldiers and officers and soldiers who participated in the battle will be divided into 50%. So the Liaodong soldiers were very excited. Some soldiers secretly looked at the Goguryeo women, wondering if the women he had been assigned after the war were beautiful.
