The main general took the lead, two thousand soldiers hurriedly followed, and the black crowd walked towards the south with neat steps in the dark, although the noisy shouts of Gaomen had been heard, but the elite of this royal division was not afraid at all, and was more than calm. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unexpectedly, as soon as the army turned around the southeast corner of Luoyang City, they saw the oncoming Han army, and saw that there were many torches above and below the city, converging into a long dragon, Liu Yun took a deep breath and shouted, "Formation!" ”

The soldiers behind him immediately stopped, and the spearmen in the front row raised their spears forward in unison, although the charge would be more powerful, but in the dark night, it was obviously more important to stabilize the formation than anything else, and the focus of the royal family's daily training was also to resist the enemy's attack first, and then counterattack.

So, Liu Yun looked at the other party viciously, but sneered in his heart, don't you know that the torch is a taboo in the night battle, and it will become the target of the other party? Looking back, there was darkness behind him, and a quiet queue, like a beast in the night, waited for the target to approach.

Finally, the target approached.

"Shoot the arrows!"

A shout rang out in the silence.

Then there was a buzzing sound, the bowstrings shook, and it was impossible to see how many arrows flew into the sky in the night, but the sound of breaking the air was better like that of dark creatures foraging in the dark night.

The Han army also didn't expect the royal army to be so calm to set up the formation and release the arrows, and the momentum of the charge was sluggish, but then they shouted and rushed up, and the brave won when they met on a narrow road, although the Han soldiers had not heard of this sentence, but they still knew the meaning.

The arrows swooped down on the torches on the ground, bringing a scream, but the Korean army had already rushed in front of them.

The first to rush over was the Han soldiers on the city wall, the width of the city wall was only less than two zhang, and it could barely stand side by side eleven soldiers who were sideways forward, and Liu Yun's subordinates were the elite of the royal family's army, and the formation layout was naturally more exquisite. The first row crouched down, with the spears raised diagonally, the second row half-crouched, the spears pointed steadily forward, and the third row thrust the spears out through the cracks in the second row, so that on the wall that was not wide, there were thirty-three spears facing the enemy.

Of course, this was hastily laid out in the dark night, if it was daytime, the fourth row could stretch out the spears again, it would be more like a hedgehog, and in this dark night, without torches, such a short speed to put this formation is already the limit of this army.

However, it was these thirty-three spears that became the beginning of the nightmare of the Han soldiers.

Finally standing on the wall of Luoyang, the Han soldiers with high morale, holding torches in one hand and waving the long sword in their hands in the other, rushed up without fear of death. Yes, under the faint light of the fire, they could only see the Luoyang soldiers on the opposite side, but they couldn't see the neat spears at all. So, at a sprint-like pace, they crashed.

Courage does not mean invincibility, and spirit does not equal force, although there is armor, but if you hit a spear, you will also be stabbed.

After a few bangs, there was the sound of a spear entering the flesh, and a miserable scream, and the force of the Korean soldier's collision was transmitted to the hands of the royal soldiers through the spear, and the first three rows of soldiers in the earthquake all took a small step back, but then stabilized again.

However, the Han soldiers in the back still rushed up one after another, and the first few rows of soldiers in the front took two steps back to stabilize, and at this time, the spears were already full of corpses, and even the Han soldiers in the back drove the corpses of the Han soldiers in front of them, and there were three corpses hanging on the spears at most, just like sugar gourds, thanks to the sharpness of the iron spear of the royal family, and it was also lost that it was at night, Liu Yun did not light a torch here, even if the Han soldiers in front were stabbed to death, the Han soldiers in the back still couldn't see the situation clearly.

It was only at this time that the momentum of the Han soldiers' charge stopped, because they were holding the spear on their heads, and the one behind them could not rush.

Liu Yun was also on the city wall at this time, and the front of the team, in the fourth or fifth row, saw that he had withstood the offensive of the Korean army, and he was willing to let go, so he shouted violently, and he was going to lead the team to turn defense into attack.

Liu Yun still remembered that the king once said that if you want to fight your fist, you must first retract it, so the team took a few steps back in unison, and then, the soldiers of the fourth and fifth rows squeezed forward through the cracks, while the soldiers of the first three rows retreated to the back, taking a breath while cleaning up the corpses hanging from the spears in their hands. The soldiers were so skilled in switching back and forth, and even in the dark of night, because they had trained thousands of times.

And the Han army didn't react at all, because they couldn't see clearly the royal soldiers who didn't have torches on the opposite side, of course, if they could see clearly, Liu Yun didn't dare to risk changing personnel before the battle.

There was no if on the battlefield, Liu Yun quickly led the soldiers of the fourth and fifth platoons to rush to the front, the spears crossed and advanced, and the soldiers shouted "one, two." one, two", stabbed forward, and gradually the Korean soldiers abandoned the soldiers in front, and some couldn't resist.

Attacks don't have to be charged, and strength can also compensate for speed. Under the leadership of Liu Yun, more than twenty spears stabbed forward again and again, after the first round of stabbing out, they pulled back, and at the same time the second round of spears stabbed out, and when the second round of spears was pulled out, the first round of spears were ready again, and so on, the royal army advanced step by step, and the Korean army began to retreat step by step.

At the same time, the archers behind the spearmen on the royal side were also firing on their backs, throwing the arrows at the place illuminated by the torches in front of them.

As a result, the people in the distance, whether it was the people listening to the news on the inside of the city wall, or the large army of the Korean army outside the city wall, could see that the side on the west side of the city wall was full of torches, and slowly began to move backwards.

Unexpectedly, as the troops advanced, Liu Yun also encountered trouble, it turned out that there were Han soldiers who failed to enter the city on the outside of the city wall, and when they saw the attack on the city, they began to shoot arrows at the city wall. Although Liu Yun didn't light the torches here, the city wall was there after all, and although the people below couldn't see the figures above, it was always not wrong to shoot arrows up.

These arrows caused a lot of trouble to Liu Yunyi, and immediately some soldiers fell, and the soldiers behind accidentally tripped and fell, which immediately brought a small riot to that side.

But then an officer shouted, "Leave the fallen soldier alone, and the soldiers behind him continue to advance." So the commotion quickly subsided, and the soldiers behind took firm steps, stepping on the bodies of their comrades, and marched forward with the current.

This is also what the king said every day, when the whole army is marching forward, if one of them falls, the people behind should not try to help him, or jump over him, because the people behind can't see clearly, and he won't care whether the people in front have changed, so the people behind hit one by one, and the formation quickly became chaotic.

Yes, war is so cruel, in the queue, if you fall, then you will be greeted by a stampede, and the army cannot afford to suffer greater losses by trying to lift you up.

So, to avoid this, it is to watch your feet and not let yourself fall when marching in formation. But at this time, Liu Yun's soldiers were unavoidable, there were corpses of Han soldiers under their feet from time to time, and there were cold arrows flying on their heads that were not visible at all, so gradually more soldiers fell.

At this time, Liu Yun in front had stopped, stood behind the female wall and dodged the soldiers in front of him, and looked back. The king said that as an officer, you can't always rush to the forefront, so after seeing the situation clearly, Liu Yun decisively ordered the soldiers behind to pull out the formation, so that the soldiers were not so dense, so as to avoid the killing of bows and arrows, and give the fallen soldiers a chance to get up. Then the archers were arranged to stick to the female wall and shoot arrows downward, although they could not suppress the Korean army under the wall, but they could damage the enemy as much as possible. At the same time, people also asked people to pick up the torches that Han soldiers had dropped on the ground and throw them down, which was also to continue to create a dark environment on the city wall.

After arranging all this, seeing that the team had advanced more than ten steps, Liu Yun thought about it, raised his spear again, and went forward to kill him. At this time, the two armies on the inner path of the city wall also faced each other, and the well-trained royal soldiers, like their comrades on the city wall, steadily advanced forward.

The Korean army is still losing and retreating, but the Korean soldiers behind are still rushing up the city wall, the war is life and death, and the Korean army is also afraid of being driven out of the city. As a result, the torches from the Gaomen could be clearly seen moving forward, while the easternmost torches on the city wall were retreating to the west, and both sides were squeezed into the middle.

And when the loose torches are gradually squeezed together, that is, the Han soldiers are pressed more and more densely, like a spring, when they are pressed to the extreme, they will rebound, and this is the case.

Knowing that if he couldn't defend the city gate, he would die, and the Han soldiers rushed up without fear of death, at this time, there were not only swordsmen among the Han soldiers, but also many spearmen with spears in both hands, after all, not every Han soldier was holding torches.

Holding the spear in both hands, the strength was naturally much greater, bringing a lot of damage to Liu Yun's first department, and at the same time, it also forced Liu Yun's first part to start retreating, so the side of the city wall in the darkness to the east also began to compress the spring, but there was no torch, and no one in the city could see clearly.

At this time, Liu Yun had already rushed to the forefront of the team, although he picked out a few Han soldiers on the opposite side, but the other royal soldiers around him retreated, and he had to retreat more than ten steps together, and when he retreated, he couldn't retreat, because the soldiers behind pressed up and squeezed together.

So Liu Yun shouted to kill, and led the team to rush forward. Seeing that the lord was angry, the soldiers were not to be left behind, so they also shouted, took a steady step, used all their strength on the spear in their hand, and stabbed forward.

Soon the momentum of retreat was reversed, and as soon as the iron spear launched its might, it was obviously unstoppable, so it was another wave of assassinations, and it began to force the Korean soldiers to retreat one after another.

The torches on the city wall retreated to the west, and in the eyes of the people inside and outside the city, gradually, the firelight was only about twenty steps away from the Gaomen Tower.

Obviously, the Han soldiers will also be desperate, and when the density of the torches is squeezed to a critical point, the Han soldiers erupt again, pressing the royal soldiers from rushing forward, and then the light of the torches began to move eastward.

Five steps, ten steps, twenty steps, when the Han soldiers pushed the royal side away for another thirty steps, the royal side stabilized its position and began a counterattack.

Then the torches began to retreat again, this time only fifteen steps away from the tower.

The two sides were tugging at each other, and the battle point between the two armies was far away from the city tower for a while, constantly beating the hearts of many people inside and outside the city. At the same time, on the inner path below the city wall, Liu Yun's other army was also entangled with the city wall, going back and forth between advancing and retreating, but there was no fierce general like Liu Yun in charge, and there were more Korean soldiers on the path below the city, and this army was still farther away from the city gate than on the city wall.

And inside the Gaomen City Gate, on the streets of Gaomen, the Han soldiers also began to suppress Li Ding's defeat and retreat, after all, Li Ding's subordinates are all new soldiers, and it is good to be able to barely defeat the soldiers, and now they have blocked the Han soldiers for so long, in fact, they have been extraordinary. Seeing that he was about to retreat to the intersection of Gaomen Street and Pingmen Street, Li Ding's eyes were full of unwillingness, although he arrived first and had resisted for a long time, but if he was finally defeated, it was not the result that Li Ding wanted.

So Li Ding's eyes rolled, and he saw the torches moving back and forth next to the Gaomen Tower in front of him, so he had a plan and shouted, "Gaomen has been recaptured, and the Han soldiers have no way to retreat, hurry up and kill the enemy!" ”

This roar first startled the royal soldiers around Li Ding, and when they looked up, they saw that the shouting of killing on the tower of Gaomen not far before the meeting shook the sky, and it was obvious that under the light of the torches, the short-handed soldiers had been killed on the tower, so the royal soldiers suddenly had high morale, and they shouted "Gaomen has been recaptured, Gaomen has been recaptured", and even the speed of wielding the weapons in their hands was much faster.

And the Han soldiers who rushed into the city were obviously facing away from Gaomen, until this moment, under the reminder of the royal soldiers fighting on the opposite side, they couldn't help but look back curiously, it's okay not to look back, and when they turned around, they were suddenly startled, Gaomen really fell into the scramble, although it has not been recaptured by the royal family, but the difference is not far away.

However, after such a meal, the morale of the Han soldiers suddenly fell, Li Ding raised his spear, rushed to the front of the team, led the soldiers to step on the corpses all over the ground, and forced the Han soldiers back more than ten steps.

At the same time, there were also soldiers on the roofs of the shops on both sides of Gaomen Inner Street, and the cold arrows were shot at the Han soldiers who were holding torches.

After more than ten steps, the Han soldiers finally stabilized their steps under the reprimand of the commander, and it was obvious that the main general of the Korean army was among them. Han Bing desperately pressed up again, and at the same time divided his troops to attack the shops on both sides, but the doors of the shops were already blocked inside, and they couldn't be cut for a while.

Li Ding's first department was defeated and retreated, and it didn't take long for him to retreat to the front of Zhang Hu's defense line in the rear, although there were not many people around, but Li Ding was still unwilling, so he repeated his old tricks, and shouted "Gaomen has been captured." ”

Han Bing couldn't help but look back, so taking advantage of this moment, Li Ding pushed a few steps forward.

But soon he was driven back, and after repeating this, Li Ding didn't believe it no matter how he shouted Han Bing again, and after holding on for a while, Li Ding finally had to give up, because the two thousand recruits he brought were now less than a hundred people left around him, and although dozens of people could still block the not very wide street, they couldn't help the Han soldiers' rush to kill, and Li Ding was going to order the soldiers to flee to both sides, so that Zhang Hu in the back could face the Han soldiers.

Unexpectedly, I suddenly heard someone shouting from the Korean soldiers on the opposite side, "Look, Gaomen is lost!" ”

Hmph, Han Bing doesn't believe it, why are there still people shouting? Hey, no, it was Han Bing who shouted, not from his own side, could it be that Gaomen was really recaptured by my royal family?

So Li Ding looked up and looked ahead, only to see that under the dark night sky, there were no torches shining on the Gaomen, but if he listened carefully, he could still hear the excited shouts on the Gaomen, "Gaomen is back!" Gaomen is back! ”

Yes, it was Liu Yun's one, and after repeated tug-of-war, he finally drove the Han soldiers down from the Gaomen, and the royal family regained control of the Gaomen Tower.

This is really the most exciting thing tonight, so Li Ding turned his head and shouted, "General Zhang Hu, if you don't kill Han Bing at this time, when will you stay?" ”
