Chapter 74: The Battle of Shimen 3

The two armies of Tang and Gao once again formed a confrontation situation, but this will make the Goguryeo army have 20,000 Silla troops behind the formation, although they have lost the battle before, but their morale has still improved. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jian Mucen rode a horse, constantly patrolling behind the Goguryeo army to boost morale.

Li Yu, Li Shangdan, Xue Ne, and others will observe the formation of the Goguryeo and Silla armies on the hillside and consider countermeasures.

"Your Highness, the Goguryeo people's formation is loose and their morale is not high, so let a certain leader break up their formation, but they can be driven to attack the Silla army formation." Zhang Shi pleaded.

Li Yu waved his hand and vetoed: "Our army has just experienced a loss of physical strength, and another attack on the Goguryeo people will only give the Silla people a place to work, and if the Silla army does not retreat, it will inevitably be like us waiting for fighters, so we will respond to all changes with the same." ”

"The order, the Chaos Guard and the White Tiger Guard are lined up in front of the formation, the Broken Captives and the Dangdi Army, and the Vermilion Bird Guard retreats behind the formation to rest for a while."

"No!"

Half an hour later, the Silla generals such as Da Ah Meal Xiaochuan, Sha Meal Yoshi, Shan Se, Ah Meal Noshin, Doseon, Ichichi Meal Annahan, and Yangchen were eager to pierce it, and they did not see the opposite Tang Army attacking.

The Goguryeo army, which had already experienced several hours of fierce fighting and fled for its life, was extremely tired, and now it was ready to meet the Tang army with the weapon in hand. Standing for half an hour despite high physical and mental tension, unable to even sit down, let alone drink water, increased the load intensity of these soldiers' bodies. The entire Goguryeo army was in a state of malaise, and under the scorching summer light, it was almost unable to raise its weapons.

Compared with the Goguryeo army, which was exposed to the sun in the wilderness, the Tang army was arrayed on a small hillside, the sparse grove could shield the Tang army from the sun, and there was a stream behind the small hillside, and the Tang army had sufficient troops to provide hundreds of people to provide drinking water to quench the thirst of the soldiers.

"General, the weather is hot, and if you wait any longer, the Goguryeo people will be dying, and if you fight, you should fight quickly."

Liangchen, who went to the front of the Goguryeo army to observe the military situation of the Tang army, quickly ran back, and eagerly proposed to Da Ah Dian Xiaochuan.

The sun-drenched Da Ah Xiaochuan had to take off his iron helmet, drank two pots of water, and threw the kettle fiercely: "Mother, don't these Tang troops know how to take advantage of the victory?" He sat on the ground with us and spent it. Who led the Tang Army? ”

"What Gu Jian Mucen said is Li Yu, the new protector of Yan in the Tang Dynasty, who is only thirteen years old, and is the fourth son of the current Tang Emperor." Shan Shi said with a strange face.

"Huh? Thirteen? Da A Fan Xiaochuan couldn't close his mouth in shock, and then said angrily: "After doing it for a long time, our opponent is a doll who hasn't grown all the hair, Jian Mu Cen actually lost to a doll, what kind of face does he have to live in the world?" What are you doing in a daze, Ling Jian Mu Cen attacked Ben Shuai, Lao Tzu wanted to capture this doll alive, and let that bullshit Tang Huang exchange Liaodong for this doll's life. ”

"General, the last general still recommends that we fight again at another date." Yamayo pleaded again.

Da Ah Fan Xiaochuan was furious, turned around and whipped it over and scolded: "You idiot, the Tang army has gathered on the opposite hillside to wait for the whole day. If we retreat now, the Tang army will take advantage of the situation to kill, and the retreat will become a rout. ”

"Order the three armies to prepare for battle!"

"Hey!" Shan Shi was whipped and reluctantly returned to the army, hoping that those Goguryeo people would block the Tang army's advance so that the Silla army could retreat calmly. After being whipped by the commander and thinking about the retreating mountain world, how could those Goguryeo people, who had long lost their fighting spirit and are now exhausted, delay the Tang army's offensive? Maybe he really took it for granted, and not retreating before the arrival of the main force of the Tang Army meant that it was necessary to separate from the Tang Army today.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The war drums in the Silla army shook the sky, and the sword Mou Cen who had been ordered secretly glanced at the Silla army, and the dignified Goguryeo Mo was reduced to the point of being ordered by a Silla general, and the humiliation in his heart can be imagined.

The tired and decadent Goguryeo army slowly advanced towards the small hillside under the order of Jian Mu Cen, and its anxious steps were as cautious as walking on thin ice, staring nervously at the Tang army's every move on the hillside.

"Crossbowmen ready!"

In front of the formation, thousands of soldiers of the Chaos Guard and the White Tiger Guard bent their bows and arrows together, the first three columns were strong crossbowmen, and the back were all archers.

The Goguryeo army that was walking forward heard this familiar voice, and although they couldn't understand it, they knew from the Tang army that it was the Tang army that it was about to shoot a salvo again. The Goguryeo soldiers who had seen the Tang Army's bow and crossbow were shocked and paused, and with good eyes, they could clearly see the Tang soldiers holding crossbows on the opposite side, looking at them with a sneer, as if they were looking at a dead man.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and fight the Tang people, and their bows and crossbows will lose their power. ”

Under the order of Jian Mu Cen and his generals to kick and pump, the Goguryeo soldiers accelerated their speed and rushed towards the Tang army's large array as if they had suddenly woken up. There were hundreds of screams and screams rushing towards the Tang army, not afraid of death or survival.

"Shoot." Li Shangdan, who commanded the front army this time, drank loudly, and the officers of the two guards shouted at their subordinate generals in unison.

"Whoosh!"

In the panicked eyes of the Goguryeo soldiers, four or five thousand arrows were fired into the air in unison, which was more dense than the arrows fired by the Tang army during the previous battle, and a dark cloud was really formed.

When the arrows of the Tang army fell from the sky, the Goguryeo army of six or seven thousand had only a few cavalry and a shield. The infantryman's shields were also discarded in the previous escape, staring at the falling arrows in a panic and shooting them towards their bodies, and in a panic, the generals swung their weapons in front of them in an attempt to block the arrows. The **** lucky one split off the oncoming arrow, and the unlucky one just chopped off one but was shot in the limbs by another one, and was shot into the head by another arrow from the eye socket in the scream.

The hundreds of Goguryeo soldiers who were not afraid of death in front of the Tang army had already been shot by the hard crossbowmen in front of the Tang army, and almost none of them closed their eyes.

When the second round of arrows of the Tang army came, the Goguryeo army was defeated again, and the ghost cried wolf and fled backwards, and even waved his hand to block the arrows. The generals such as Jian Mu Xing, Jian Mu Gong, and Gao Zhixin who commanded the army had no heart to stop the rout, and in a panic, they raised their shields to prevent arrows and dragged their horses to follow the crowd.

"Knock knock."

Immediately following the rout and flight of the Goguryeo army sounded the war drums of the Tang army's attack.

"Kill!"

White Tiger Guard, Chaos Guard generals Li Shangdan, Xue Maoxun and others led the crowd to kill the Goguryeo army, intending to disperse the Silla army by driving the Goguryeo people.

Li Yu learned from the scouts sent that there was not a single soldier or horse within a radius of ten miles, and he was a little disappointed and a little lucky, disappointed that Gao Kan and Li Jinxing still did not arrive, and was glad that there were no reinforcements from Goguryeo and Silla, and there were no ambushes from Silla.

Li Yu ordered the whole army to attack, not keeping a single reserve, and crushed the Silla army with a thunderous force.

The left guard of the Yanyun Iron Cavalry led by Xue Ne attacked the left flank of the Silla Army, and the right guard of the Yanyun Iron Cavalry led by Zhang Shisuo attacked the right flank of Silla.

Da Ah Fan Xiaochuan drew his sword and shouted: "Command the three armies, and kill all those who rushed on the opposite side." ”

The Silla generals cursed the fleeing Goguryeo people, and the archers of the Silla army were ordered by the commander to shoot several volleys at the Goguryeo people and the Tang army behind them.

The charging Tang army gritted its teeth and charged forward with the arrows of the Silla people, catching up with an unlucky Goguryeo man and slashing down in the eyes of the other party begging for mercy.

"Up." Sha Fan Yoshibun, who commanded the former army of Silla, led his army to meet him, and both the Goguryeo and Tang troops were killed. Seeing that the Silla people killed themselves without regard for the feelings of their allies, the Goguryeo people simply waved their swords and fought with the Silla people in order to survive, causing the chaos of the Silla front army.

The White Tiger Guard and the Chaos Guard, who were the first to rush up, rushed into the melee between the Goguryeo and the Silla people like fierce tigers, and the Silla front army in the melee was instantly killed by Xue Maoxun, Xie Qian, Lu He and other fierce generals who led their troops to fight straight to the Silla Chinese army.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Goguryeo people who were supposed to disrupt the Tang army reflexively rushed into disruptive the front army of their own army and hated it, and the small cavalry in their hands had to be sent to intercept the cavalry of the Tang army on the right flank, and the left flank was only blocked by 4,000 pikemen led by Ah Fan Nengshen.

The front was killed by the Tang army in front of the Chinese army, Da A Fan Xiaochuan rode a horse and stood on the mound to see clearly, the Tang army pressed with the whole army, and the front army could not stop it at all. Only now is the whole army pressed to fight to the death with the Tang army to decide the outcome.

"The Chinese army listens to the order and will be killed with Ben."

Da Ah Yu Xiaochuan took the lead, waved the long-handled broadsword in his hand and slashed five Tang troops who rushed up in a row, and 10,000 Silla Chinese troops moved into the battlefield. Suddenly, the center of the battlefield was overcrowded, and the soldiers of the three parties in the melee were squeezed to the ground and trampled to death by countless pairs of feet without paying attention.

"Hah!" Li Yu rode a horse and led the army into the formation, carrying a smaller horse lance in his hand and riding a Silla soldier to penetrate it from his chest without paying attention, and glanced at the other party's unwilling eyes, pulling out the horse lance from his chest, secretly proud.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

In Xing'er's exclamation, a Silla teenager rode a murderous horse towards Li Yu, and when Li Yu was about to dodge, a horse flew over, and with a wave of the long knife in his hand, the Silla teenager's head fell to the ground.

"Your Highness, the battlefield is treacherous, please follow the last general." Li Yesi's handsome and resolute face appeared in front of Li Yu's eyes.

"Thank you, Dayang Li." Li Yu smiled knowingly, knowing that his young strength was not as good as that of an adult general, so he consciously followed Li Yehei's side to kill, and Xing'er also followed Li Yu's side to escort him.

A few zhang away, Li Yexu and Guan Daniu were leading Qinglongwei to clear the surrounding enemy forces.

As Li Yu's personal guards, the Qinglong guards are all seven feet tall, tall and very good at martial arts, and they are extremely powerful, and the generals are the grandsons of Li Jing's two strong martial arts. The Silla people, who were inferior in size to the Tang people, had an advantage, and so far, few Qinglongwei people have been killed.
