Chapter 4: The two armies meet
Xue Ne and Wang Hu led a thousand cavalry to the site of the attack on the sentry cavalry, and when they saw it, the snow-white earth was stained with blood into one red carpet after another. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Bell...... Kill! Liu Eryun took advantage of the other party's unpreparedness to cut off the opponent's right hand.
The goryeo soldier hugged his broken arm and broke his heart: "Ah......"
"Poof." Liu Eryun's knife stabbed directly into the other party's chest, and the heart-tearing screams stopped.
"Whoa." Xiao Hong cut down an enemy soldier and turned around to see Xue Ne and them leading the army to come, and shouted to the brothers: "Reinforcements are coming, brothers kill all these Goryeo barbarians." ”
"Kill ......," the remaining dozens of sentry riders shouted, swinging their knives and slashing at the nearest Goryeo.
"Quickly withdraw ......" Seeing that a large number of reinforcements from the Tang army had arrived, the Goryeo soldiers shouted loudly that their subordinates who were fighting to the death with the Tang army retreated.
Originally, the commander of the Goryeo army was killed by a member of the Tang army as soon as he met with the Tang army, and the rest of the soldiers were almost frightened, and finally tore apart with the Tang army under the leadership of a few stubborn Bai Chang until now.
After seeing the reinforcements of the Tang army coming, even the most fierce Bai Chang turned their horses and ran, and the remaining dozens of Goryeo soldiers were even more unbearable, throwing away their armor and fleeing.
"Don't let Gao Liman run away, chase me." Xiao Hong's eyes were red, and when he saw that the Koreans were about to escape, he slapped the horse's ass with the back of the knife and chased after him.
The Tang soldiers who were still alive slapped their horses and chased after them, and cut off the heads of the Goryeo soldiers.
It's a pity that most of the Goryeo soldiers are infantry, and just now with the help of the narrow location of the mountains, they were able to rely on the number of people to fight on a par with the Tang army, so it will not work to escape on two legs.
Just now, a few people surrounded the Tang army on horseback and slashed with knives and stabbed with spears, which turned around and fled, and was cut to the ground by a Tang soldier before he ran a few steps.
A few Bai Chang on horseback ran fast, and the pursuing Tang army couldn't catch up.
Seeing that the Goryeo soldiers couldn't win, they all drilled into the forest and snow that had just rushed out, and the Tang army immediately dismounted when they saw this, drew their bows and arrows to shoot and kill.
Seeing that the most ferocious Goryeo officers were riding away on horseback, Xue Ne waved his hand and lifted the hard bow on the saddle, drew his arrow, and bent the bow to shoot.
"Whoosh......" Xue Ne fired eight arrows in the direction of the Goryeo officer's escape.
"Bang Bang ......" In the blink of an eye, the eight Goryeo officers who fled on horseback were hit by arrows and fell off their horses.
Wang Hu's eyes were straight, and his face was blank: "Mom! Xue Dayang, you are really a divine shot. ”
"Xue Dianjun is mighty, Xue Dianjun is mighty......" The soldiers behind him saw Xue Ne's superb archery skills, admired the five-body throwing to the ground, waving the horse lance in his hand and shouting excitedly three times.
"Hehehe, carving insect Xiaojier!" Xue Neman said indifferently.
Insect carving skills? This makes me feel so embarrassed! Wang Hu was full of slander in his heart, and only hated that he didn't have a marksman father like Xue Ne's father, Xue Rengui.
"The Sentinel Cavalry is Xiao Hong meeting the two soldiers!" After cleaning up the battlefield, Xiao Hong's eyes were slightly red and his face was expressionless, and he came to see Xue Ne and Wang Hu.
According to the establishment of the Tang Army, there are fifty people in a team, and there are thirty-two people left under Xiao Hong.
In the face of more than 100 enemy ambushes, only 18 people were killed, and then looking at his command just now, even if he didn't come, he would just waste a little more time if he wanted to win.
Xue Ne nodded with satisfaction at Xiao Hong, worthy of being a veteran who had fought in Liaodong for several years, and said with a pleasant face: "Anshi may be occupied by the Goryeo rebels, and this general will go to Anshi first on the orders of His Royal Highness, and you will immediately follow behind the army when you pack up." ”
"Subordinates receive orders." Xiao Hong and the others get out of the way.
"Let's go." Xue Ne and Wang Hu led their cavalry to ride their horses and whip towards Anshi, thousands of horses' hooves rattling in the snow.
Zheng Wuyang, who went back to report the military situation, came back, looking at the body of his compatriot Zhang Gouzi, who died tragically, and was silent.
Liu Eryang, Hu Lian, and Zhang Wuyang also surrounded Zhang Gouzi's corpse, and couldn't help sobbing in a low voice, the four of them and Uncle Xiao were not only fellow villagers, but also partners in the same village from childhood to adulthood, and now a partner died in front of them.
Xiao Hong walked over and saw a few of them, and scolded hatefully with red eyes: "The manly husband is crying like a girl here, and he quickly packed up the body of Zhang Gouzi and prepared for war." ”
"Woo woo...... Hu Lian and the others wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes in a low voice, and the four of them worked together to wrap Zhang Gouzi with a piece of cloth and dig a pit on the side of the road with other fallen soldiers to bury it hastily.
"Driving the ......" Xue Ne led his army to Anshi as quickly as possible, and wanted to defeat his army before it left the city to line up.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The sound of thousands of horses' hooves crashing across the earth rang for miles, and the advance of the Goryeo army, which was shocked to pass out of the city and walk in front, stopped its marching pace and stared blankly at the mountains ahead.
Living up to the expectations of the Goryeo army to stop, two miles away, a Xuanjia cavalry with black clothes and black armor and black flags quickly rushed out from the mountains.
Nuo is not the Xuandi White Dragon Banner they are carrying, there is a golden Tang character in the middle, how can the Goryeo Army not connect them with the Tang Army.
"Fast Array ......"
The main general of the Goryeo Army, Dao Envoy Fuping, was shocked when he saw the appearance of the Tang Army, and rode his horse and whipped the fluted infantry, and the other officers were also nervous, pushing and beating a group of recruits with their hands and feet to form an array to meet the enemy.
"The pikemen are lined up, and the archers are ready." Fuhei shouted to his soldiers.
Can't help but make a forward general so nervous, the Tang army appeared too quickly, they just left the city, and he, the forward army, didn't have a battle formation, let alone the middle army and the rear army behind.
"Hahaha, that group of Goryeo scouts just now was still presentable, but this group of Goryeo troops is such a bear." Wang Hu saw that the Goryeo army was in chaos after seeing them appear, and the whole person shouted three times with joy.
Although Xue Ne was not as ecstatic as Wang Hu, he pointed to the chaotic Goryeo army and said: "Today will break through the east and destroy here." ”
"The whole army is ready, charge with me!" Xue Ne pulled out his horizontal knife and shouted at his troops, and then, his right hand pointed at the Goryeo army: "Kill ......"
"Kill, ......" A thousand Xuanjia cavalry rode their horses and galloped wildly, and the earth couldn't help but tremble.
"Spearmen, quickly erect their guns, archers quickly release their arrows......" Seeing that the Tang army was charging with the scriptures, his subordinates were still in a mess, and the formation was not set up, Fuping blushed and ordered in a hurry.
"Whoosh ......" Under the push of the officer, the Goryeo archers who gradually formed an array finally released their arrows at the Tang army under the expectant gaze of Fuping.
Several Tang soldiers in the "Bang ......" charge were unfortunately shot by the Goryeo archers and fell to the ground.
"Knock knock...... Kill! ”
Looking at the figure of the Tang army getting closer and closer, the Goryeo soldiers all looked panicked, because they were pikemen in the first column, and the whole person was trembling and couldn't even hold the spear steadily.
The distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer, and Xue Ne could see the sweat running down the nervous faces of the soldiers on the other side.
"Bang bang...... Clang...... Qiang ...... Ah......h
The cavalry of the Tang Army fiercely rushed into the scattered array of Goryeo soldiers, and the impact of the horses directly knocked some Goryeo soldiers away.
The Tang army rode on the war horse, wielding the knife to slash left and right, and the one with the horse lance kept stabbing the Goryeo soldiers, and for a time the sound of metal intersecting was endless.
"Huh." Wang Hu held a long knife in his hand and slashed down one Goryeo soldier after another, and the Goryeo soldiers who died in his hands could not withstand no less than eight people.
Many Goryeo infantry screamed and fell unwillingly under the swords of the Tang army, others continued to retreat in fear, and some Goryeo soldiers who accidentally fell to the ground never got up under the panicked footsteps of their comrades.
Seeing that his troops were about to collapse under the impact of the Tang Army, Fuping was anxious and hateful, and slashed a soldier beside him who was constantly retreating, and said sharply: "Those who dare to take a step back will not be killed." ”
At this critical juncture, a large group of Tang cavalry appeared again in the mountains, and it was the main force of the Tang Army led by Li Yu himself.
"Your Highness, the forward of the Goryeo army is about to collapse, but the Chinese army is taking advantage of this to form a battle formation." Li Shangdan pointed at the Goryeo Army and observed.
Li Yu observed carefully and said: "Although the Goryeo Chinese army is lined up in a battle formation, the formation still seems to be not strict enough, and it can be seen that most of its troops are new troops. When Xue Ne and Wang Hu defeated their front army and attacked the Chinese army, our army divided a part to take the opportunity to attack its flank, and it was sure that it would be defeated in a battle. ”
"Your Highness, the last general is willing to lead the army to go." Gao Chongde, Zhang Shi, Gao Chongli and others asked for their lives.
Li Yu nodded at the generals, and then ordered: "Zhang Shi, you lead the 500 movement to the left flank of the Goryeo Central Army, and when our army and the Goryeo Chinese Army are torn apart, you lead the army out from the left flank." Gao Chongde and Gao Chongli led an army of 500 and detoured behind the Goryeo army from the right flank. In this way, it will definitely be wiped out here. ”
"The rest of the generals will follow this king to support Xue Ne and Wang Hu."
"No."
"Mattress, the front army can't stop it, should we rush forward?"
"No, Mattress, another Tang army appeared behind it, and the Chinese army rushed up to support the front army, then we will be outflanked by the Tang army."
Although he looks down on Shaomuro Jiakang and others, under the plan of recovering the country, all personal likes and dislikes must be put aside. Quan Shuijing had to endure the ridicule of Shaomuro Jiakang and others to his exclusion and suggestion.
"Don't you save General Fu when he sees death? What kind of heart do you have with the surname Quan? Immediately, someone reprimanded the intentions of the Spring Water Sutra, which made the Spring Water Sutra secretly hate this group of brainless pigs.
"....... the other generals shouted anxiously when they saw that Shomuro Jiakang did not speak.
Among the generals, only Matsui seemed very calm, if anyone could see through the heart of this officer, they would find that this guy was still happy to see that Fuhei was about to be defeated.
Seeing that the forward army formation of 2,000 people had already been dispersed by the Tang army, the Tang army rode on horses and wantonly slaughtered the soldiers who fell into chaos, and many soldiers ran towards the Chinese army with their armor discarded.
To say that Shaomuro Jiakang is not anxious is false, every soldier is his heart!
But this will put him in a dilemma, either the whole army can defeat the Tang army, but the Tang army that appeared later is more numerous, and it has not rushed into the battlefield until now. If his whole army is pressed up, he will be surrounded by the Tang army as said in the Spring Water Sutra, and then his entire army will be annihilated.
You can send a force of soldiers and horses to support, if you don't have a few thousand people up, it is useless to face the strong Tang cavalry.
If you really send a few thousand people to support the front army, then the Chinese army will become weaker, and the Tang army that has not yet joined the battlefield will be able to kill the Chinese army immediately.
Now that he regretted leading the army out of the city to fight the Tang army, if he had the opportunity, he would definitely flee back to the city and close the city gates.
But now the Chinese army is nearly two miles away from the city gate, and if it retreats now, the Tang army will immediately be able to see the reality of the falsehood, and the whole army will rush towards the Chinese army, and then the retreat will turn into a great rout.
"Silence!" Shomuro Jiakang yelled, and the noise of the generals made him upset.
The generals immediately shut their mouths and looked at their mattresses in a daze.
"The generals immediately returned to their own army and defended tightly, and the soldiers of the former army who fled immediately incorporated into the army to fight."
"Bedding?"
"Don't say it, do it immediately."
"Yes." The generals returned to their own army to supervise the soldiers with some frustration, quietly watched the defeat of the previous army, and then collected the soldiers who fled back.
Mattress actually gave such a ridiculous order, and it seems that this battle is lost. Seeing the opportunity to surrender to the Tang Army, I may be able to survive, Matsui thought secretly when he returned to his army.
The most painful thing is the Spring Water Sutra, he expected the result of this battle, and when he first came out of the battle, he still had some hope to win, but now he has no hope.
Only by going to Wugucheng to defect to General Gao Yanwu can there be hope for the revival of Goguryeo.
Quan Shui made up his mind through the scriptures, and when the Chinese army was about to be defeated, he immediately took hundreds of his men and fled to the Black Bone City.
