Chapter 478: No. 1 in the world, the whole army attacked

"Strategist, give the order!"

Li Tianyan shouted excitedly.

Zhu Wu glanced at the Goryeo infantry army, which was still full of morale and enthusiasm, and the infantry formation of the Liangshan army, which was still silent and solemn, and finally nodded slowly: "Pass the order, five rounds of shooting, and the rhythm will be slower." ”

The order was passed down quickly, but the people on the watchtower wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, they had been fighting to try to kill and injure the enemy more, but when they came to the Goryeo army, they had to worry that the offensive was too fierce to scare these Dongyi, which was also a miracle.

The people on the watchtower thought all kinds of ideas in their hearts, but the five thousand crossbowmen of the Liangshan Army who were in the battle formation would not think so much.

Hearing the horn sounding and the order to release the arrow, all the sergeants just subconsciously picked up a feather arrow inserted in the ground, put on the arrow according to the action of daily training, raised the left hand, pointed the arrow obliquely into the air, and pulled the bowstring with the right hand, and waited with strength.

With the sound of a loud swan, everyone suddenly became excited, and subconsciously released the bowstring violently, and five thousand feathered arrows immediately roared into the Goryeo army formation.

It was completely different from the performance of the Korean arrow array, and in the blood splash, in an instant, a piece of the Korean array fell like cutting wheat, blood flowed to the ground again, and the screams resounded earth-shattering.

Many Koreans didn't even have time to snort before they were hit by arrows and fell down, dying tragically on the spot; More people suddenly felt a pain in their bodies, and they were injured by arrows, and then they subconsciously covered their wounds and howled bitterly.

For them, it is good to die on the spot, but those who are still alive, especially those who are injured by arrows, have to endure more torments of collapse of confidence and fear.

Obviously, it was an arrow array, and there were few casualties on the opposite side of the five rounds of arrow rain on his side, and he didn't even scream, just like no one was wrong; And the other party only fired a volley, and their own side suffered heavy casualties, blood and corpses were all over the ground, and screams came one after another, which was too big a blow to their confidence.

What's even more serious is the miserable image of the hellish battlefield in front of them, and the ears of hearing the comrades killing pigs also seem to be wailing and screaming, and the fear brought to them is too great, and many Koreans who were extremely high morale at the moment ago are completely stupid at this time.

Or screaming and screaming with the wounded, or just staring at it all in a daze, not knowing what to do next.

The battlefield of fighting for their lives naturally did not give them time to be stupid in a daze, and soon the second round of arrow rain came, and this time it caused more casualties, and these Goryeo soldiers who stood stupidly and screamed finally closed their mouths.

The remaining Goryeo sergeants finally collapsed this time, and the tide ran backwards, but soon after, a third round of arrows came, leaving behind corpses again, but this time most of them were shot in the back.

Seeing that there were three rounds of shooting, the Koreans fled in a hurry, leaving dead bodies and countless wounded people struggling and crawling on the ground, and the Liangshan army did not continue to shoot and waste arrows, but many officers at all levels couldn't help but curse.

"Straight lady thief, one round of shooting will be blinded, two rounds of shooting casualties are no more than two achievements collapsed, such a ability to dare to laugh at our Song people for being weak?"

"Not to mention our Liangshan army, even the ordinary Song army against Liaogou or Western thieves, the casualties of the arrow array will never collapse!"

"Isn't it, the military master has long said that when it comes to forming a formation and shooting face-to-face, the strongest in the world is still the elite infantry of my Han family!"

"That is, the Han army's arrow array, the first in the world!"

In many cases, the so-called collapse of ancient armies if they were not for more than one elite casualties is actually quite wrong.

The man of the Han family, since the first Qin cavalry, has been good at forming formations and riding on foot, enduring the rain of arrows from Hu cavalry back and forth, bearing constant casualties, and still shooting the bow and crossbow in his hand firmly and steadily, until Hu Qi himself collapsed.

During the Warring States Period, Li Mu, the general of Zhao State, surrounded and annihilated 100,000 Hun cavalry with 100,000 archers, and the Xiongnu did not dare to go south for more than ten years; When Qin Shi Huang was in the past, Meng Tian also led the Qin army in an arrow array, so that the Xiongnu did not dare to go south to herd horses; When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Ling also defeated 30,000 Hun cavalry with 5,000 archers and killed thousands of enemies, and then was surrounded by 100,000 Hun cavalry, killing several times the enemy again, and fighting and retreating, if not betrayed by traitors, it is even very likely to retreat with his whole body, which shows the power of the Han army's arrow array.

In the Song Dynasty, because of the loss of excellent horse breeding land and the failure of Ma Zheng, the Song Dynasty has been unable to form a large-scale cavalry force, and has made great efforts in the infantry array, bringing the Han family's arrow array to the extreme.

Although the Song army and hundreds of thousands of Liao iron cavalry had lost more than won in the early confrontations, as long as the Song army finished the formation, the Liao army did not dare to engage in any battle, because they had already learned the power of the Song army's arrow array.

knew that unless the iron cavalry was forced to break the formation, even if the Song army was killed or wounded by simply shooting at it, it would never collapse. And in terms of archery array shooting or cavalry shooting against foot shooting, the Liao army will never be the opponent of the Song army!

That's why the golden rule that the array does not fight has been handed down.

Of course, most of the current Song army naturally does not have this level, but the Western army, which has been fighting against the Western Thieves, can still do this.

As for the Liangshan Army, Lin Chong's goal is to surpass the Western Army, trying to create an iron-blooded strong army that will not retreat even if it is fought to the last person in a war.

The Goryeo people didn't know this, and they actually took the initiative to shoot at the arrow array of the Liangshan army, and the weapons and equipment of the Goryeo people were far behind the Liangshan army, so it was not surprising that there would be such a fiasco.

"Shangzhu Kingdom, the Song army's arrow array is too powerful, and the equipment is too good, our arrows can't shoot them at all, but their arrows can easily penetrate our leather armor, even the iron scale armor can't resist it, how can this battle be fought!"

Li Zide's face was pale, his brows were furrowed into a Sichuan character, and his confidence when he calmed down was also a little broken, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: It is said that the Song people are weak, but look at the Song army on the other side, the murderous and awe-inspiring appearance, where is the half-weak look?

Raised by a son of a bitch, which rumor is this?

After groaning for a long time, Li Zide gritted his teeth and spit out a few words: "Call the catapult behind, and the bed crossbow will be faster......"

Shocked when they heard this, someone immediately persuaded: "Shangzhu Guo think twice, this gang of thieves and Kou's sailors almost wiped out my Goryeo sailors with bed crossbows and catapults, and I see that there seem to be many catapults and bed crossbows in the woods on both sides of their arrow array!" ”

Speaking of this, it's all tears, Goryeo's bed crossbow and catapult are all secretly learned from the Song Dynasty, and they worked hard to steal a copy of "Wujing General Essentials" from the Song Dynasty, and everything was made out of the catapult according to the requirements of the book, and it was indeed the same as written in the book, the largest stone cannon could fire 80 catties of stone projectiles and shoot 90 steps.

I didn't know that after taking these catapults and bed crossbows that were stolen from the Song people and fighting with the Liangshan bandits' naval army, I found that the catapults of the Liangshan army could shoot more than 300 steps away, and the bed crossbow shot even farther.

Of course, they didn't know that in order to keep it secret and deliberately induce the enemy, they had expected that it might be leaked, so they deliberately modified a lot of data and details.

Not to mention that the Liangshan Army's catapults and bed crossbows were much more advanced than those of the Great Song Forbidden Army, as long as they dared to pull the catapults and bed crossbows to the front of the formation, they were guaranteed to be bombarded by the Liangshan Army's light catapults and bed crossbows at the first time.

Li Zide is not the kind of person who does not listen to persuasion, of course he also thought of this, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Then what else can I do, the Song army's arrow array is powerful, and it is such terrain, is it possible to use cavalry to charge the formation?" I'm just afraid ......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard several secret agents in the Liangshan army who could speak Goryeo and the original Han people in the north of the Liao State once again raised their throats in Goryeo and shouted in unison: "Dongyi on the other side listens, the two armies are fighting, and there is no personal enmity, my Han family is a benevolent and righteous army, I can't bear to kill the wounded soldiers, this battlefield is full of wounded, you send people to treat it, we will never let arrows hurt you!" If you are not satisfied, even if you come to fight again after cleaning the battlefield, we will accompany you to the end, whoever goes is raised by a bitch! ”

Li Zide was angry and annoyed when he heard this, and his face turned purple and red, but after thinking about it, he still ordered someone to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded.

After all, if the Song people shouted in Goryeo, if they didn't save them when they saw death, would the morale of the army be gone?

And if the Song people treacherously visit Leng Arrow, their own side will only lose hundreds of sergeants, but it can arouse the hearts of other sergeants to hate the enemy. Moreover, no one will believe the words of the Song people in the future, and all the Koreans will inevitably fight to the death.

You must know that this group of Song people did not just run over and grab a handful and leave, but claimed to recover the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, hang the people and fight crimes, and rule here for a long time.

Li Zide's idea was also the idea of many Goryeo generals, so when the wounded were returned from treatment, hundreds of Goryeo people continued to clean the battlefield and carry the dead bodies, and at the same time, when the arcade was nearby to observe the Song army's large array, he only heard the general of the Dragon and Tiger Army think for a long time, and said tentatively: "Shangzhu Kingdom, why don't we send someone to sue for peace?" ”

"Summation? Are you crazy? This group of Song robbers surrounded the former residence of Taizu Lichenggang, and they all hit the capital of Kaijing, and said that they would destroy our Goryeo and reset the Andong Protectorate and the four counties of Han. ”

The general of the Dragon and Tiger Army knew that Li Zide might have this reaction, so he hesitated for a long time whether to speak, but since he opened his mouth, he simply made it clear.

"Shangzhu country, what the last general said is not really to seek peace, but to surrender, and now we can already conclude that the Song army on the opposite side is by no means an ordinary grass army, a rabble. Moreover, the weapons are sharp and the armor is strong, we can't break the formation for a while, and we can't save Licheng Port.

In the end, we can take advantage of these words that are quite hypocritical and false, and say that the Heavenly Empire, the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, the crusade against the unsubordinate, and the crime of hanging the people and killing the people, we can take advantage of them and send envoys to pretend to surrender and sue for peace, and maybe we can solve the siege of Licheng Port.

As long as the Song people agreed to our request to surrender, we bought time to arrange everything, strengthen our defenses, and come up with a countermeasure. If the Song army is really strong, our Beijing army can't defeat it, and we can secretly dispatch the border army from the north to Qinwang......"

After a pause, a light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Don't say anything else, let's just say that the Khitan invaded the south three times before, didn't we all rely on peace to overcome the difficulties?" Besides, in the previous Goguryeo period, didn't Emperor Yang of Sui also conquer Goguryeo on the grounds of 'the land sealed by the Jizi', 'disobeying the courtiers', and 'hanging the people's crimes'?

What happened later? Originally, the first Sui army conquered Goguryeo and captured Liaodong City and Pyongyang, but Emperor Yang of Sui sold his reputation and ordered Goguryeo to stop Seiko as soon as it surrendered, so as to appease and accept it.

So every time the city was about to be captured, the Goguryeo army in the city said that it would surrender, and the generals of the Sui Dynasty did not dare to continue the attack according to the holy decree of Emperor Yang of Sui, so they had to play Emperor Yang of Sui first, and when the reply arrived, the defenders in the city refused to accept surrender.

Later, Yizhi Wende even used fraudulent surrender to explore the reality of the Sui army, and used fraudulent surrender to play with the Sui army in applause many times...... These Song robbers opened their mouths and closed their mouths to the Heavenly Empire, the teachers of benevolence and righteousness, they must be people who seek fame and reputation, maybe the emperor of the Song Dynasty also gave the same order as Emperor Yang of Yu Sui, why can't we follow suit......"

Speaking of which, although Goguryeo has no inheritance relationship with Goryeo and the Samhan nation in any aspect, the Goryeo people have always forcibly regarded the history of Goguryeo as their own history, and regard Goguryeo as the supreme glory, and they are extremely yearning for and admiration for that history.

I saw that the general of the Dragon and Tiger Army became more and more excited, and the eyes of the other Goryeo generals around him also lit up all of a sudden, and they felt that this plan was very feasible, but Li Zide's brows were still furrowed.

The Goryeo people wanted to be arrogant and arrogant, and they had always looked down on the military weakness of the Song people, and now they had to use such a strategy to defeat these Song people, and Li Zide was somewhat reluctant.

Second, he led the army on this expedition, but he wanted to improve the prestige of the Incheon Lee clan, and now he actually asked for peace and surrender after the first battle. What is known is that the Song army has advanced weapons and is well-trained; Those who don't know will only say that I, Li Zide, are useless, and I can't even win the Song people, who are weak and not good at fighting......

Not to mention Xiao Jiujiu who was calculating on the side of the Goryeo army, but said that in the Liangshan army formation, seeing that the Goryeo people had almost cleaned up the battlefield, they saw that a pro-soldier team beside Zhu Wu was suddenly overjoyed and said: "Military division, the signal is coming, Marshal Du and General Xiang are in ambush." ”

This time, the Yangsan army conquered Goryeo, and the strategy and tactics were set early on, and the people's hearts were mainly based on the inferiority and self-esteem of the Goryeo people, and the psychology of wanting to become the subjects of a great country was the upper and the lower was the attack; In military affairs, in fact, it can be summed up in four words - encircling points and sending reinforcements.

surround Licheng Port and open the soldiers and horses rescued in the capital; Destroy the main force of Kaijing City and surround it, send reinforcements again, and destroy the army of King Qin in various places.

Therefore, in addition to Zhang Kai, Hu Yanqing, Ou Peng and others surrounding Licheng Port, and Zhu Wu led more than 6,000 soldiers and horses to set up an ambush here, the real highlight was that Du Bai and Xiang Yuanzhen each led a soldier and horse to quietly cross the mountains on both sides, go around the back of the Goryeo army, and firmly set up the pocket array.

The reason why Zhu Wu refused to accept Li Zide's challenge before was actually because Du Yan and Xiang Yuanzhen still had movements in place, and it was easy to defeat the enemy in front of them, but it was even more difficult to completely annihilate them.

At this time, since the two lines of soldiers and horses had moved in place, Zhu Wu no longer waited, he took the monocular in the hand of the pro-soldier team, glanced at the mountain, and saw that several special combat members of the Liangshan Army were waving flags vigorously to convey signals to his side.

After confirming that it was correct, Zhu Wu handed the telescope back to the team leader, raised the command flag in his hand, glanced around at the generals below the commanding watchtower, and said loudly: "Spread the word to the Koreans, our army will attack on all fronts!" Pass the order down, beat the drums, blow the offensive trumpet, and stop the three-way drums, and the whole army will attack, and you must completely annihilate this gang of Dongyi! ”
