Chapter 72: The Battle of Shimen 1

"Whew. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

The distant horn of the Tang army sounded, and tens of thousands of Tang troops in the camp left the camp one after another, looking at Baishui City with cold eyes.

Mu Cen, the sword in Baishui City, watched Tang Jun's every move coldly, and sneered: "Tang Jun can't wait any longer, he will attack immediately!" ”

"The second brother, Gao Zhixin, and the upper room have made a plan, and you will lead the army to meet the battle."

"Little brother, the last general commands!"

The direction of Baishui City followed the horn of the Tang army and sounded the drum and military trumpet, and a group of elite soldiers of the Goguryeo army camp inside and outside the city were led by three generals to leave the camp gate, and Jian Moucen led the Chinese army to follow.

The two armies marched to the outside of Whitewater City and stopped at a distance of two miles from each other, there was no conspiracy, no battlefield raids to kill them unprepared, and only the brave could win when the two armies met.

Li Yu put down the binoculars and said to the left and right: "Order the two armies of Po and Dang Di to rush into battle." ”

After receiving the military order, the commanders of the two armies, Qi Biguang and Liu Tao, drew their swords and pointed at them, and the soldiers of the two armies of Po and Dangdi, who were lined up in front of the formation, jogged together and approached the Goguryeo army formation.

"Order Qin Jingqian, when the capture is broken, the Dangdi army and the Goguryeo people are engaged, and the Beihai iron cavalry will attack the right flank of the enemy army." Li Yu ordered again.

"Crossbowmen ready, shoot!"

After the Goguryeo army was within their range, they suddenly shouted, and the soldiers of the two armies immediately stopped. Hundreds of crossbows rushed out from behind the soldiers in the front row, aiming at the Goguryeo army two hundred paces away, and more soldiers in the back bent their bows and arrows and threw thousands of arrows into the Goguryeo army's formation.

"Raise your shield." Jian Mu shouted loudly, and quickly grabbed the round shield on the horse's back to cover his head.

The Goguryeo soldiers with shields in their hands hurriedly raised their shields when they saw the thousands of arrows coming in fright, and some recruits who had never been in battle saw for the first time that the enemy salvo of arrows on the battlefield was so numerous that it was like a dark cloud swishing in the air, and they watched the arrows shoot in a daze.

The arrows of the Tang army burned black, and the arrows of the Tang army swished into the Goguryeo army formation, and there was a scream of arrows.

The bows and crossbows of the Tang Dynasty are not only invincible in the world, but also the Tang army in the early Tang Dynasty is a bow and thirty arrows. Crossbowmen are not like the two Song Dynasty are pure crossbowmen who do not have the ability to engage in hand-to-hand combat, but are more like modern special forces, raising crossbows to shoot the enemy at a long distance, and raising knives to fight hand-to-hand at close range, and they are extremely strong.

"Kill!" Qi Biguang and Liu Tao shouted, and after a volley, the Breaking Capture and Dangdi Army raised their swords and launched a short-distance charge.

The Goguryeo front army was killed and wounded by a volley of Tang troops, and the front army's position was somewhat chaotic.

Jian Muxing was so hateful, after raising his knife to cut down the three soldiers who were still stunned, he shouted angrily like a beast: "Rush me, and those who dare to retreat will be killed." ”

Half of the front army led by Jian Muxing was the regular army of the former Goguryeo, and after the initial chaos, under the shouts and death threats of the officers who had experienced the battle, they quickly reacted and rushed towards the Tang army.

The two armies of Tang and Gao, who rushed towards each other, were like cars rushing towards each other on the highway, and when they collided together, there was a burst of people on their backs, but it was difficult for those who fell down to have a chance to get up again.

Blood was dripping from the swords and guns in the hands of every soldier who was still standing, and those who did not have blood stains on their weapons thought that they were dead and could not die again.

"Follow me!" Qin Jingqian waved the horse lance in his hand and led the Beihai Iron Cavalry to rush out from the right flank of the Tang army's large array, directly bypassing the battlefield in the middle and killing the right flank of the Goguryeo Chinese army's large array.

"Hmph, if you want to attack the right flank of our army, do you really have no one to care about me in Goguryeo?" Jian Mu Cen snorted coldly, "Third brother, you lead the cavalry to intercept the Tang army for me." ”

"Big brother, don't worry, look at the third brother, I'll take the head of the Tang general." Jian Mu Gong smiled, turned the horse's head and left.

The Goguryeo Chinese army quickly rushed out of a cavalry of 4,000 people, and under the leadership of a strong general armed with a big axe, they went straight to the Qin Jingqian army.

"Your Highness, there are a lot of Goguryeo cavalry that intercepted Qin Dayang, do we want to support it?" Zhang Shi asked with some concern.

"No need, there are not many Goguryeo cavalry, and Qin Dayang can contain at least half of the Goguryeo cavalry, so that our army is more sure of victory." Li Yuyao said.

At this time, the attention of the two armies was attracted by the earth-shattering shouts of killing two miles away from Baishui City, and no one expected that there would be a slight noise in the mountains and forests east of Baishui City.

"Will the general do it?" Zhang Zicheng asked a calm and resolute man beside him.

"No, wait a little longer." Gao Chongde replied expressionlessly.

A thousand Vermilion Guard soldiers in the forest lurked silently in the woods, ready to burst out and kill at any time.

The two armies of Breaker and Dangdi have fought the battle of the domestic city, and the difficult siege battle has trained them into a strong army. Half of their opponents were veterans of battle, but half were new recruits. After a battle, a large number of veterans died, and the courage of the Goguryeo recruits became more and more insufficient, and the battlefield situation gradually became unfavorable to Goguryeo.

"Your Highness, take this opportunity to kill the whole army with all your might." Gao Chongli said with great joy.

Li Shangdan, Xue Ne and the other generals glanced at the excited Gao Chongli, shook their heads and said nothing. Knowing that the Silla army was nearby, it might rush to support the Goguryeo people at any time, and still pressed the whole army up, isn't this seeking death?

Li Yu smiled slightly and said: "Gao Chongli listened to the order and immediately led the army to support Qi Biguang and Liu Tao. ”

"The last general commands!"

Gao Chongli was a little disappointed that His Royal Highness did not take his advice, but he was extremely excited to finally have a chance to lead the Suzaku Guard into battle.

The addition of Suzak Wei immediately grim the situation in Goguryeo, and Gao Chongli, who rushed into the battlefield, descended the mountain like a fierce tiger and beheaded several Goguryeo generals. Shang Muro planned that if it weren't for the fact that he pulled a personal guard next to him to block Gao Chongli's sword at the moment of crisis, he was afraid that he would be cut off by this Tang General at this moment. But the noble horse lance still penetrated the chest of the guard, stabbing the unexpected upper room plot.

The upper room plotted to be horrified, and hurriedly ordered the guards to rush up to block the rise of the killing, and fled in embarrassment to other directions of the battlefield.

Jian Mucen didn't expect that the Tang Army's combat strength was so strong, and the Tang Army leaders and generals he heard about were all unknown generals, but they could also tie the knots of the strong army they trusted and retreat. It is necessary to send his own elite henchmen - a thousand heavily armored infantry to join the battlefield to stabilize the critical situation.

"Up."

Ambushed in Baishui City, a thousand Vermilion Bird Guards, under the command of Gao Chongde, who was calm and calm, rushed out of the dense forest one after another, and went straight to the east gate of Baishui City.

When the Tang army came out of the dense forest outside the east gate, the Goguryeo defenders on the east gate were worried about the battle outside the west gate, and they were horrified to see the Tang army killing, and dozens of people were not preparing to defend the city but fled at the first time.

"Ahh The city guard was furious when he saw that his soldiers were fleeing without a fight, and he drew his sword and rushed at the head of the soldier who tried to flee beside him, killing eight people in a row and shouting angrily: "Lao Tzu, whoever dares to escape, I will ......"

"Whoosh."

Under the horrified eyes of the surrounding soldiers, the vicious guard was pierced through the head by an arrow, and fell to the ground with angry eyes and unwillingly.

Dozens of arrows from the city followed, and more than a dozen people were killed and wounded in a hurry, and the rest of the defenders scattered in a hurry.

Although the defenders fled, the east gate was still closed so that the Tang army could not enter. Gao Chongde had already prepared, dozens of soldiers took out ropes and threw them at the city wall to lasso the female wall, and then climbed the rope like a monkey to climb the city.

Zhang Zicheng took the lead and led his troops to climb the city wall, except for dozens of corpses of defenders, none of the defenders defended the enemy, which made the Tang army who climbed up very happy. Zhang Zicheng led his subordinates to rush down the city wall and enter the city gate to open the city gate, for fear that the Goguryeo army would go and return.

As soon as the city gate opened, the Suzaku guards rushed into the city with a shouting of killing that shook the sky, and killed people at sight, and successively scattered several Goguryeo troops who came to help.

Jian Mu Cen, who was struggling to maintain the situation on the battlefield, looked back at Baishui City with some feelings, and was shocked at first glance.

The defenders of the city actually fought with people, and a black dragon flag of the Tang Army appeared on the head of the city of Xicheng.

The officers and men of the Goguryeo Chinese army heard the noise behind them and looked back, and the defenders who were originally watching the battle on the city actually fought with people, and people were constantly being slashed from the city and fell into the city. The dazzling black dragon flag on the city tower and the familiar but incomprehensible howl all indicate that Baishui City has been captured by the Tang army.

"Baishui City was captured by my Tang Dynasty, and the Koreans under the city surrendered and did not kill." The Suzaku guards, who were shaking the Tang Army flag on the west tower of Baishui City, shouted in unison at the stunned Goguryeo army under the city.

Not only was the Goguryeo Chinese army that had not moved stunned, but even the officers and soldiers of the two armies who were fighting stopped their weapons and looked at the cheering Suzaku Guards on Baishui City.

"Big win, big win......"

Tens of thousands of Tang troops roared in unison, everyone's faces flushed with excitement, and the Goguryeo army had a dead face, hanging their heads.

Jian Mu Cen was even more angry and trembling, staring at the shaking black dragon flag on the city tower with a pale face.

"How could you just be defeated?" Jian Mu Cen's trembling lips couldn't believe the facts in front of him, and he couldn't stop muttering.

"Kill." The generals on the battlefield, such as Gao Chongli, Qi Biguang, Liu Tao, Qin Jingqian, and Qin Tong, were ecstatic, shouting and shouting to kill, and led their troops to bite the loss of fighting spirit, and the Goguryeo army slashed and killed.

The Goguryeo army was defeated and fled for their lives, and generals such as Jian Mou Xing and Jian Mu Gong tried desperately to stop the rout, and Yang Tian sighed that there was not much left and followed his subordinates to the southeast.

Jian Mu Cen's Chinese army was directly dispersed before the Tang army arrived, and Jian Mu Cen, who was like a fool, was desperately protected by his own soldiers and fled in the rout that fled for his life.

The cavalry of Li Yu's Chinese army, Yanyun Iron Cavalry, chased the Goguryeo Chinese army that was in a hurry to run for his life, and along the way, he stepped on horses, slashed with knives, and stabbed with lances, and behind him was a bloody road covered with corpses.
