Chapter 325: Weapon Gap Two
When the Goguryeo people came within range of ordinary crossbows, other crossbowmen of the Tang army also began to shoot.
At this time, the gap in equipment is even more apparent.
The bows and crossbows of the Tang army are all standard equipment, but the bows and crossbows of the Goguryeo people are varied, and there is a big gap in attack power.
The armor of the Goguryeo people is basically leather armor, and many people have no armor at all, and the protection is very poor. The crossbowmen of the Tang Army not only had the cover of the soldiers holding iron shields, but also the Mingguang armor on their own bodies was extremely protective. The degree of damage to the soldiers on both sides was very different.
The Don army was not only the crossbowmen who kept shooting arrows, but those longbowmen were not idle, they still continued to shoot.
The soldiers of Goguryeo had to face not only crossbow arrows fired from the front, but also longbows and arrows falling from the sky.
When the Goguryeo people desperately rushed to the front of the Tang army regardless of life and death, a greater tragedy was waiting for them.
The Tang Army's Mo Dao Array was launched.
The use of the Mo Dao Array is different from the soldiers who usually use the Mo Dao alone. They are used in a similar way to the Longbow Troops.
When the soldiers wielded their knives, they did not aim at a certain person or a certain part of their body. The Mo Dao Array formed a line, and at the same time swung the Mo Dao, like a high wall, slashing forward.
When the Mo knife fighters train, in order to avoid involuntary judgment because they see the target with their eyes. Therefore, they are all blindfolded for training.
Mo Dao hands are arranged in a dense manner, almost next to person. The route they take is from the ground to the top of their heads and then to the ground, which is completely straight. This method of cutting out may seem clumsy, but it is very effective.
First of all, they used the prescribed actions to avoid hesitation caused by judgment, so the Mo Dao Hands were able to use their maximum strength to swing the Mo Dao, and the power of the Mo Dao Array could be maximized.
Secondly, when the enemy encounters an attack, his instinct is to dodge, but he happens to encounter the attack of other Mo swordsmen.
The output of steel of the Goguryeo people was not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty, and the quality was not as good as that of the Tang army.
When the knives and guns in their hands encounter the attack of the Mo Knife Array, they will encounter the huge kinetic energy impact of the Mo Knife from top to bottom, and even if they are not cut off, they will be shocked to the ground, and they will not be spared.
In this case, even if the other soldier's soldier is a strong man, and the spear in his hand, even the barrel of the gun is made of iron, he will not be able to stop it.
Let's not talk about whether the Goguryeo people have so much steel to make such iron guns, but there is, when you parry with iron guns. The barrel of your gun will be hit with two or three knives at the same time. Under such a blow, if he can still hold the barrel of the gun, it is basically Superman.
It's a pity that Goguryeo didn't have that many such supermen.
The Goguryeo people ran so far and rushed to the Tang Army's Modao formation, and their strength had already been consumed a lot. Tang Jun's Mo swordsman is waiting for work, and the gap between the two is obvious.
Moreover, the Mo knife hand only cut three knives per person and then retreated, and was replaced by a row of Mo knife hands in the back. They use wheel warfare and are always able to maintain a strong physical strength.
The Goguryeo people suffered heavy casualties in front of the tumbling sword wall of the Mo Sword Array. At this time, the longbow units of the Don army were still carrying out projectiles against the follow-up troops of the Goguryeos.
In this case, there are not many Goguryeo people who can rush to the front of the Modao Formation, and these people are even less opponents of the Modao Formation.
After a fierce battle, the Goguryeo people were repulsed from their first attack.
The Tang army did not take the opportunity to attack, they just sorted out their troops and prepared to follow the procedure just now and do it again against the Goguryeo.
Seeing this situation, Izumi Gai Suwen was almost crying! The soldiers of Goguryeo also felt embarrassed.
But Tang Jun didn't take care of their emotions. Now the distance between the two armies is far away, and the longbow is out of reach. It was the turn of the artillery of the Don Army.
The mood of the Goguryeo people at this time was probably similar to that when the Qing army faced the guns of the Eight-Nation Alliance. It's a completely helpless mood.
Unable to make up their minds, they temporarily halted their attack. The Tang army's artillery stopped after a while, this was not sympathy for the Goguryeo, but the artillery ammunition carried by the Tang army was not very large, and it could not withstand such consumption. It should also be kept for use during sieges.
The Goguryeo people were very helpless and depressed.
That's when even more bullying came. A loud Tang soldier came to the formation and shouted with an iron horn: "Goguryeo people, listen, are you Goguryeo people all girls?" Are you still fighting? If you don't fight, get out, but then surrender. Grinding and chirping, there are simply no eggs. ”
The Tang army deliberately provoked the Goguryeo people, lured them to attack, and continued to consume their strength.
Quangai Suwen was extremely depressed. He had fought against the Tang Army before, and he had also won. He really couldn't figure it out, why was the Tang Army so powerful now?
The Goguryeo people stopped moving, and Li Jing ordered the Tang army to move forward, and under the cover of the cavalry and sword and shield men on both wings, the longbow troops of the Tang army advanced.
Seeing the Tang army's moves, the Goguryeo people knew that they would soon be attacked by the Tang army's longbow troops, and they all became nervous.
Now was the time to test Izumi Gai Suwen, and he had to make a decision right away.
So far, Quangai Suwen has been fighting with the Tang Army for 5 months, and he has tried all kinds of tactics, and he feels that he is unable to do it.
He thought for a while, and said to a cronie: "You go and shout, I want to negotiate with Li Shimin." ”
The cronie hurriedly galloped towards Tang Jun, he waved his arms, and shouted as he ran: "Listen to Tang Jun on the other side, my prime minister wants to negotiate with your Emperor Majesty." ”
Quangai Suwen is really going to negotiate. Due to the geographical location, there is no strategic depth on the Korean Peninsula, the north and south are the sea, and the east and west are enemies.
In the face of the Four-Power Alliance, coupled with such a powerful Tang Army, he is now embattled and has no chance of winning. He still has the army in his hands and the territory, and it is still too late to negotiate.
The Tang army stopped the attack, but did not immediately give a reply to Quan Gai Suwen.
Although Li Shimin had the idea of surrendering the Goguryeo people before the war, this was after the main force of Goguryeo had been eliminated. Negotiate now, what the conditions are, it's hard to say, it needs to be studied and decided.
After thinking about it again, Li Shimin decided to talk to Quan Gai Suwen again.
