Chapter 1056: The Flooded Seventh Army (Part II)
At the foot of a hill a few miles behind the Goguryeo defenders, the endless army stretched out as far as the eye could see, and all kinds of flags were spread out like colorful carpets to the horizon.
Xing Ziqiu looked at everything in front of him, trembling with excitement, and almost looked up to the sky and laughed!
Damn Li Chengqian, who scared him on the other side of the river for more than half a month, is now ...... Now that the army has arrived, see what else he can do to cross the river.
"General Xing, are you still satisfied with these soldiers?" Ezhi Wende rode on his horse, waved the whip in his hand, and asked in high spirits.
"General Wende, Xing, Xing has been looking forward to this day for many days. The general arrived with a large army, and the end of the Tang prince was approaching. Xing Ziqiu retracted his gaze, his face turned red, and he looked like he was indescribably excited.
Xing Ziqiu was very smart, and he didn't comment on the army he brought according to what Yizhi Wende said, as a subordinate, especially a subordinate who had not won a battle, what right did he have to comment on the army led by the old leader.
Yizhi Wende was very satisfied with Xing Ziqiu's performance, and smiled proudly as if he had won a big battle: "I heard the faint sound of drums and horns in front, but the Tang army is preparing to attack?" ”
Isn't this nonsense? Lao Tzu sent the news that Datang was boarding the ship to His Majesty in the morning, otherwise how could you old boy appear here at this time.
Xing Ziqiu complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to say this in his mouth, he just greeted Yizhi Wende and said: "The general is like a god, the Tang Liaodong Army has all boarded the battleship and is preparing to attack at this time. ”
"Very good, it seems that several successive victories have made Li Chengqian forget who he is and what place this is." Yizhi Wende looked at the direction of Yalu Shui, and said to Xing Ziqiu as if he was winning: "Let your people withdraw, the old man has taken over here." ”
"What, what? Withdrawn? Could it be that the general wants to let the Tang army land? Xing Ziqiu was stunned for a moment, he never thought that Yizhi Wende was so bold that he would have to face off against the Tang army on land.
"If you want to withdraw it, you can withdraw it, don't have so many problems." Ulji Mundeok was already very old, and as one of the few veteran generals in Goguryeo, how could he allow anyone to question his decision.
Li Chengqian thought about flooding the Goguryeo army, and he thought the same way about Wende, in his plan, he planned to put the Liaodong army on the opposite side to the shore, and then block the way, so that the Tang army could camp on the bank of the river.
At that time, as long as another strange soldier he sent out cut off the river upstream and then let it go, then he could completely wipe out the heroic army of Datang on the bank of the Yalu River without a single soldier.
I have to say that Ezhi Wende's idea is indeed good, but God seems to have played a big joke with him, because the position he chose to intercept the flow was surprisingly consistent with the position chosen by Li Chengqian, and the army he sent was also an army of 20,000 people, but the army he sent by Yizhi Wende was an infantry army, while Li Chengqian's army was cavalry.
One wrong step and you lose everything!
No matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the 20,000 infantry army is, it is impossible for them to be the opponent of the 20,000 cavalry, unless they are supported by powerful equipment and logistics similar to the Liaodong Army.
But unfortunately, this 20,000-strong army does not have strong equipment and logistics force, they are just a very ordinary army, an army composed of private soldiers of major families, not to mention the combat strength, just obeying orders is 108,000 miles behind the Tang army.
So when they saw the countless Khitans wielding war knives in front of them, everyone was instantly stunned, and the original simple task of digging and filling the soil turned into a duel with the cavalry, is this God joking?
On the contrary, Brother Cave's face showed a hideous smile: "Sons, the cubs of Goguryeo have sent us heads, and they will be killed with Lao Tzu!" "When the brave meets on a narrow road, maybe Brother Cave can't tell the truth, but he knows how to do it.
"Kill ......" The Khitan who followed behind Brother Cave howled and drew his battle knife.
Heads for land, heads for military exploits, heads for food, heads can be exchanged for many things.
The Khitans, who lived in very difficult conditions, received countless promises from Li Chengqian, but these promises were all exchanged for Goguryeo heads.
Therefore, when they saw the 'strange soldiers' of Yizhi Wende, the eyes of these Khitan people turned red instantly, and what they saw in their eyes was not a fresh life, but a string of moving copper coins.
Goguryeo, on the other hand, did not expect to encounter the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty in such a remote place, and in their opinion, their actions were secret and simple. Because of this, they didn't even send out scouts, and when they met the Khitan cavalry led by Gu Ge, they were eating.
The massacre was a complete massacre, and after all, this army of Goguryeo was only composed of private soldiers from major families, and they were not soldiers.
They don't know what kind of military formation, what kind of coordination, these things are completely unknown.
Fundamentally speaking, these people are actually some organized ordinary people, and it's okay to put them in a group fight or something on the ground, and if they really pull them to the battlefield, they are completely just delivering food to people.
Not to mention these Khitan elites in front of them, even if they casually pull out a Tang Mansion army, they can easily defeat it with 3,000 people, not to mention that they are now facing a full 20,000 Khitan cavalry!
Needless to say, the Goguryeo 'wonder soldiers' who were eating were killed by the cave brother in a very short period of time, and more than 20,000 people ran everywhere like frightened ducks, but in the end they were all killed by these Khitan elites, and only three or two kittens were able to run away.
According to the science: the devil is in the details!
According to the superstitious saying: it is up to man to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen!
The defeated Goguryeo people quickly brought the news back to the Goguryeo reinforcements, and by the time the news reached Eulji Wendeok, Xing Ziqiu's army had all withdrawn from the river embankment, and the army led by Li Chengqian was gradually approaching the Goguryeo side.
"Rubbish, it's all rubbish!" Ebchi Wende, who received the news, was furious.
"General, now is not the time to talk about this, let's think about how to deal with it!" Xing Ziqiu smiled bitterly and persuaded Yizhi Wende, he didn't have any good way to deal with this stubborn old man.
It was a good thing, but when he came here, he had to do some trickery, but now it's good, the plan was broken by others, and more than 20,000 people died, not to mention, and the river embankment was given out, if the Tang army completed the landing,
