Chapter 15: Invite the Army
Since the appearance of the Goryeo and Silla coalition forces, Li Yu has always kept an eye on their every move with a telescope, and has seen the abnormal behavior of the Silla people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Yu put down the binoculars and smiled, what is the point of stopping after entering the valley?
"Wang Hu."
"The end will be."
"Did you see Taniguchi's Silla Army?" Li Yu pointed to the thousands of Silla troops who stopped at the mouth of the valley at the foot of the mountain and said, "When our army launches an attack, you will rush out of the forest with 2,000 soldiers of Xuanwuwei to block the valley mouth for me, and you must not let Sha Yan run away for me." ”
"Your Highness, please rest assured, I will definitely come to see Your Highness with Sha Lu's head."
Wang Hu, who had long shoulders and a big waist and a perfect face and stubble, confidently assured Li Yu, and with a thirty-pound long-handled broadsword in one hand, he led his own soldiers to quickly leave the mountain and go to the Xuanwu guard who was ambushed at the mouth of the valley led by him.
Wang Hu and Zhang Shi are the two fierce generals under Li Yu, Wang Hu is good at making a long-handled ring-headed knife but not a Mo knife, and Zhang Shi is good at using a horse lance, both of which are good generals who charge into battle.
Li Yu ordered him to lead 2,000 Xuanwu guards to block the breakthrough of Silla's thousands of troops, which was a great value for his military value.
Gao Yanwu led his 7,000 pro-army behind the 13,000-strong new annex army, although it gave people a feeling of being good and wandering on the surface, but after entering this valley, he was actually anxious in his heart.
Soldiers who have fought all year round can see that this valley is very easy to ambush, and Gao Yanwu, who has led troops for more than ten years, and his 7,000 troops have long seen it.
Marching in the valley, Gao Yanwu and his men looked at the mountains on both sides, looking suspicious.
"General, this valley? Will there be an ambush? ”
"you." The young general who asked was directly scolded by Gao Yanwu: "There are only 3,000 Tang troops in Anshi City, how dare they ambush our army, when our 30,000 troops are all pigs?" ”
"My subordinates are abrupt, and they all blame me for not having a long memory." The young general dismounted in fear and took a selfie on his head to ask for guilt.
"Hmph, the whole army is speeding forward and passing through this valley quickly."
Gao Yanwu gave an order, and the soldiers who were originally in doubt calmed down a little, changed their way to run, and tried to pass in a short time.
Gao Yanwu, who had just galloped forward with his horse for a while, turned his horse's head and stopped, and asked the generals who followed: "Has the Spring Water Sutra returned?" ”
"General, I didn't have to report to my subordinates that the spring water had returned to the camp."
"Bastard, General Ben sent him to inquire about the situation of the Tang Army in Anshi, this son of a bitch has been gone for a few days, and no one has come back, and he hasn't even sent any news."
Gao Yanwu scolded in front of the whole army, he had been looking at him unpleasantly since he saw the Spring Water Sutra, and he had four white eyes in the back of his head, a typical villain. Anshi Sahumi was killed in battle, but Quanshuijing escaped with more than 100 people, and he knew that this person was cunning and slipped away when he saw that things were not good, and he was really the most unreliable person.
Hu Lian snapped the cat's Liu Eryang behind a big tree and said, "Eryang, what do you say the Goryeo general is talking about?" It sounded like he was scolding. ”
"So-and-so doesn't understand Goryeo, ask so-and-so, ask whom."
"Brigade commander, he is scolding a person called Quanshui Jing."
"Hey, you kid understands Goryeo?"
found a soldier beside him who could understand Goryeo, Hu Lianxing rushed to his side, which made Liu Eryang's ears quieter.
When Gao Yanwu broke his mouth and scolded the spring water without stopping, a young general in the rear of the army hurriedly ran over and knelt in front of Gao Yanwu and said, "General, the Silla army did not follow, and stopped near the valley mouth and did not leave." ”
"What?" When Gao Yanwu heard this, his brain was shocked, and he was shocked.
"Why didn't Silla leave?"
"What do these Silla cubs mean, take us Goryeo into the valley to lie down, right?"
The young man who came to report the news was full of sorrow and did not know what to say when he was questioned by the agitated generals, and he did not know why the Silla people did not leave, and he did not have the courage to question the Silla people, but the supreme commander of the army was the Silla general.
"Shut it all up."
Gao Yanwu shouted, taking out his authority as the commander of the army, and all the noisy generals in the town wisely closed their mouths.
"General, are we exiting the valley?"
"Retreat your ball, walk to the middle of the valley, is there a difference between retreating and entering?"
The subordinate who proposed it was scolded by Gao Yanwu, and retreated with a sneering face.
"The whole army listens to the order, let's speed out of the valley and show the Silla people who are afraid of ambushes to see if there is an ambush in the valley. If they don't come, we are more willing to go to Anshi by ourselves, and we will share the spoils of Anshi by ourselves, and we will no longer be a Silla seed. ”
"General Shenwu ......"
"Capture Anshi and recover Goguryeo."
After Gao Yanwu shouted loudly and excitedly, the soldiers who stopped their pace, and the worried subordinates were excited by the emotions of their own general's words, and they were excited.
Just as the soldiers were regaining their morale and speeding forward, a general from the front of the army rode anxiously on horseback, carrying a man on his back with arrows stuck in his back.
"General Gao is not good, there is an ambush in the valley."
There was an uproar, and the soldiers around who heard the sound shook, and they all stopped and stared blankly at the general who came to report. Someone recognized him, he was the Taoist envoy Sun He, who led thousands of soldiers and horses from Shicheng Mountain a few days ago, and General Gao saw that he had a brave strategy, and combined the troops and horses that came up to cast along the way into one as a forward, so that he commanded.
At this time, he should have led the vanguard to the front of the army, but now he ran to the Chinese army with a wounded soldier in person, and said that there was an ambush, and the soldiers would be in an uproar.
Gao Yanwuqiang shook himself, opened his eyes wide and asked, "Can you say it is true?" ”
Li Yu put down the binoculars, waved his hand lightly behind him, and said, "Beat the drum, release the arrow." ”
With four words fluttering gently, Li Yu decided the life and death of tens of thousands of people.
"Boom."
Sun He was opening his mouth to prepare to return, and the drums of the South Huangling Mountains sounded.
"Who's beating the drums?" Gao Yanwu asked with a broken face to the generals around him.
No one answered him, they all held their heads high to find the source of the drum sound, and they didn't let the expected Koreans wait long, only about ten seconds.
"Knock knock...... Whoosh......"
As the first drum sounded, the drums on the north and south sides of the valley rang out, accompanied by a large rain of blackened arrows flying from the forest.
"Spring Water Sutra, you son of a dog who should kill a thousand knives." Looking at the rain of black arrows that came from him, Gao Yanwu's face was dull, and he cursed involuntarily.
How could there be only 3,000 Tang troops in Anshi, and from the rain of arrows under the black pressure, it can be seen that the Tang army ambushed on both sides of the valley has tens of thousands.
Two showers of arrows rained down on the north and south sides of the valley to the sound of drums, and the whizzing sound of arrows rubbing against the air filled the valley.
"There's an ambush."
The Goryeo army, which stood for a while, did not know who screamed, and the 20,000 Goryeo troops that were neatly arranged were suddenly in chaos.
Those with shields hurriedly took their shields to block the arrows, while those without shields fled into the nearby woods, trying to block the arrows with the branches.
The generals could not restrain their soldiers, as they themselves were busy holding shields or drawing their long knives to defend themselves against arrows.
But the black, cloud-like arrows made the unshielded soldiers desperate, and they ran wildly.
It's a pity that their two legs can run past the rain of arrows that are rising into the air and falling rapidly?
"Whoosh ......"
"Ahh......h
The arrows shot down in a flash and puffed through the armored Goryeo soldiers, and there was a wail on the ground.
Someone is shot directly in the head by an arrow, and there is no need to endure the pain, and it is the best relief to hang up directly. Someone was shot with several arrows, and the whole person was like a hedgehog that had been plucked out of most of its hair, and fell to the ground unwillingly.
Most of the Goryeo infantry had no shields, and most of them were filled with despair in the face of the dense rain of arrows falling from the sky. A rain of arrows fell, and there were few people still standing.
The wails and screams drowned out the whooshing sound of the rain of arrows, some knelt on the ground with their eyes stuck in the arrows, and some dragged their thighs to crawl on the ground in pain.
The rain of arrows stopped, and the Goryeo soldiers did not rejoice, because the shouts of killing on both sides of the valley were deafening.
Li Yu waved the command flag, and a black dragon flag rose upside down the South Huangling Mountain.
After Xue Ne and Zhang Shi, who were ambushed in the small valley of the South Yellow Mountains, saw the Black Dragon Banner, they shouted to the soldiers under their command: "Kill the enemy with the general." ”
"Kill!" The six thousand Yanyun iron horsemen who had already been prepared rushed out of the South Yellow Ridge across the war horses.
The Yanyun Iron Cavalry was divided into two divisions, and the Left Guard Army, commanded by Xue Ne, fought out from the exit of the valley and faced the front of the Goryeo army's forward, completely blocking the hope of the Goryeo army breaking through from the valley exit.
The other Right Guard Army, commanded by Zhang Shi, ambushed in the valley between the two small hills of Nanhuangling, in the middle of the Da'anshan Valley in the north, and rushed out of the valley to penetrate the Goryeo Central Army, intending to separate the Chinese army from the front army.
Immediately following Yanyun Tieqi was ambushed on both sides of the valley, Li Shangdan Baihuwei on the southern slope of Da'an Mountain, Zhuquewei of Gao Chongde on the northern slope of the South Huangling Mountains, and Li Yexu's Qinglongwei 1,000.
In the face of the earth-shaking rush of Xue Ne's 3,000 cavalry, the Goryeo front army, which was blinded by a rain of arrows, panicked.
The former army itself was a group of new annexed troops who defected to Gao Yanwu on the road, and most of them were ordinary people who had never fought before. The purpose of arranging them into the front army was to resist the charge of the Tang cavalry, to fight for huge casualties and to impact the Tang army's formation, or to delay the pursuit of the Tang army in the event of unfavorable battles, so that Gao Yanwu could lead his subordinates to run away.
At the critical moment, Sun He, the leader of the Goryeo front army, rushed from the Chinese army in time and commanded the remaining front army to line up in battle formation to resist the Tang cavalry charge.
From a burst of arrows shot by the Tang army, Sun He expected that if he did not quickly return to the command of the front army, the front army that was beaten would inevitably collapse instantly when it was charged by the Tang army. If the front army is defeated, and thousands of people flee to the Chinese army and are killed by the Tang army.
Fortunately, Sun He arrived, and the Tang cavalry had just rushed out.
Sun He, as a former Goguryeo Shiseong Mountain defender, although he is not a famous general and has not experienced any major battles, but among the Goguryeo armies that raised troops against the Tang Dynasty in various parts of Liaodong, he is also a serious general, far less than those who are halfway monks.
