Chapter 58: Attacking the Country 4

After the three armies crossed the river, they formed a military formation in the south of the city, with crossbowmen in the center and cavalry on the two wings. The www.biquge.info bow and crossbow arrows of his subordinates are fast and long-range, and the bows and arrows of the Goguryeo people cannot shoot themselves, so they directly live in front of the large array with shield hands under the city, and the five thousand crossbowmen are all in unison to the head of the domestic city.

Huaxia's arrow array has been invincible in the world since the Warring States period, and even now there is no country in the world that can compare with the Tang Dynasty's arrow array. The Eastern Roman Empire, the so-called civilized country of the West, the rising Arab Empire, and the dying Persian Empire did not even have a crossbow, and the bow had little to do with the composite bow of China.

Not to mention that now it is just a remnant of Goguryeo soldiers and horses resisting the Tang Dynasty. Faced with the technical superiority of the bow and crossbow, when the Goguryeo soldiers in the city picked up the bows and arrows in their hands and shot them under the snoring of the officers, they were overwhelmed by the black arrow rain from the Tang army in the blink of an eye.

The defenders of the city had shields, and they carried them on their heads, and squatted on the ground and trembled. Those who did not have a shield could only squat against the female wall facing the outside of the city, although it was not as good as a shield to protect their bodies, but the arrows thrown by the Tang army were difficult to shoot even if they hit the Goguryeo people who were clinging to the wall due to the angle problem.

"Damn, these Tang people, you know how to let go of arrows, and if you have a kind of rush down to the city, watch Lao Tzu's golden juice pour you to death." The guard of the south gate of the city in China, Gao Yanwu's younger brother Gao Yanxing, under the protection of his own soldiers holding shields, climbed on the women's wall and watched the Tang army who kept releasing arrows under the city through the city and scolded.

This rain of arrows fell, not to mention that there were hundreds of unlucky people in the city who fell to the ground motionless with arrows stuck in their bodies, and many soldiers dragged their legs and arms that were shot on the ground and cried and screamed, stimulating the nervous hearts of the soldiers defending the city.

Gao Yanwu, who was in a corner tower in the distance, looked at the tragic situation in the city, shook his head helplessly, and passively defended it, it was only a matter of time before the city was destroyed. In his heart, he was not as frightened as he was when he heard that Weiyuan City was occupied by the Tang army a few days ago, and the Tang army from the west and south came to attack him.

Fortunately, the Tang army broke Weiyuan City and did not immediately attack the domestic city, giving Gao Yanwu time to prepare. At present, there are 20,000 defenders in the city, and the troops are sufficient, but the Tang army under the city is probably only 10,000! The terrain of Marudu City is dangerous, the defenders are 13,000, and the Tang army facing it is more than 10,000.

Although since the Tang Army launched the war against Goguryeo, it has always won more with less, such as the famous Battle of Garrison Mountain, where the 150,000 Goguryeo army was completely annihilated by tens of thousands of Tang troops chopping melons and vegetables, and the two generals were even captured. But Gao Yanwu, who has been through the wind and rain for a long time, did not panic about the combat strength of the Tang Army at this time, and none of the commanders of the Tang Army who led the two roads were famous generals of the Tang Army that he was familiar with, and his year was not big, which really made Gao Yanwu look down on him.

"Instead of being beaten passively and affecting the morale of the army, it is better to go out of the city and fight the Tang army." Gao Yanwu looked serious and ordered to the generals around him: "Omuro Cheng and Fu Yansheng, you two lead 7,000 troops out of the city, and you must defeat the Tang army in one fell swoop." ”

"Don't worry, I'll let these sons and brothers of the Tang Kingdom know what the battlefield is." Omuro Cheng and Fu Yansheng bowed their hands to Gao Yanwu and got off the corner tower and straddled the war horse, behind them were the seven thousand soldiers and horses that had been prepared, most of them were the two of them who were originally guarding the city.

"Quickly open the city gate and let the two generals go out of the city to kill Tang Dog." Gao Yanxing shouted at the defenders of the city gate on the south gate.

"Squeak." The south gate opened, and Omuro Cheng and Fu Yansheng shouted: "The soldiers will rush to kill with me." ”

"Kill ......" Seven thousand soldiers and horses swarmed out from the south gate, and the shouts of killing in unison shook the heavens and the earth.

"Damn, these Goguryeo people are out of the city." Li Shangdan scolded secretly, and immediately ordered the other generals: "Xie Qian, shoot this group of barbarians to death, and order the cavalry led by Lu He and Qi Biguang to kill a certain from both sides when the enemy army engages with our army's foot soldiers." ”

Omuro Cheng held a knife to split the arrows that came from him, and his eyes stared at the large formation of the Tang army in front of him, the formation was full of foot soldiers, if it could be broken with one blow, the Tang army would be defeated, and even if it couldn't, it could disrupt the command of the commander of the Tang army and disrupt his army.

The two Goguryeo generals were strong and strong, dressed in fine silver iron armor and chain mail inside, and their faces were extremely brave, and they were not afraid of the arrows that kept coming. A thousand cavalry led the way, followed by six thousand foot soldiers.

The Tang army rained down three arrows, and as a general, he was not afraid, but ordinary soldiers were miserable. They didn't have fine armor on them, and there were only a few hundred shields, so how could they stare at the sky with all their attention when they charged with the generals. At a distance of a few hundred meters, the Tang army shot dead and wounded thousands of people, and at least 1,000 of them were newly recruited, and their morale plummeted.

When the last two armies were less than eighty paces, the spearmen, crouched behind the shieldmen, suddenly stood up and raised their spears at the captain's loud order
