Chapter 746: The Enemy Is Destroyed
Chapter 746: The Enemy Is Annihilated
Ouyang Li brought a big stone to Wang Ping'an, and asked Wang Ping'an to sit on it and watch the Goguryeo army fight in the distance.
The Qingzhou soldiers below also learned that Xiao Chang'an was going to fight a big battle, but they were under the mountain, blocked by the woods, and they couldn't see the scene in the distance, so they had to sit and pant under the trees, and the few who could climb the trees climbed to the trees, while watching, while explaining, as if it was a live broadcast, to explain the battle situation to the Qingzhou soldiers below!
Before the ruins of Xiaochang'an, the two armies of Goguryeo glared at each other angrily, and both treated each other as mortal enemies!
Closer to the ruins were the armies of the city lords who had rushed to support, and it had been ten days since the capital of the country had been burned, and for such a long time, the city lords around Gyeonggi who could come as long as they could come had basically arrived with their troops.
When the city lords arrived at the ruins of the capital, they saw that everything but the bare walls had been burned. Shocked, they first scolded the Tang Army for tyranny, and then began to quarrel with each other.
At this time, there was neither a king nor a powerful minister in the national capital, the people fled, and the army of the city lords ran desperately, but the place was arrived, but the grain and grass were cut off, and they couldn't go around looking for the people to raise military food, and the army began to go hungry when it arrived in the national capital!
Hungry stomach is the business of the soldiers, the city lords are not hungry, as long as the stomach does not gurgle, then there is the strength to fight for power, the city lords want to preside over the task of rescuing the king.
Of course, they don't really care where the king is, just like during the Three Kingdoms period of the Central Plains, the princes of the world crusaded against Dong Zhuo, the Tang army is Dong Zhuo, and the Tang army is now gone, but the king has not been found, so what should I do?
If anyone can preside over this rescue operation, then whoever can control the king after finding the king, can justifiably obtain the same status as Yuangai Suwen, even if he can't compete for Yuangai Suwen in the end, he can always become the head of the princes. When the country is in turmoil, whoever is famous will be able to gather more heroes under his banner, which is an eternal truth!
The city lords have big and small forces, but if they use force, no one can destroy anyone, and they don't have overwhelming strength, so everyone can only quarrel, but they can't get a result, and the king ...... Everyone is busy arguing, who has the time to find him!
This morning, the city lords had eaten and were about to continue arguing again, when suddenly someone came to report that the infantry unit of Yuangai Suwen had returned. The city lords were surprised, how did Yuangai Suwen's army come back so quickly, and it turned out that the infantry came back first, what about the cavalry, why didn't the cavalry come back first?
Puzzled in their hearts, the city lords immediately went out to greet them, and wanted to go to meet Yuan Gai Suwen, but Yuan Gai Suwen was a big Mo Lizhi who leaned towards the government and the opposition, and the city lords were not as strong as him, so they had to pretend to be grandsons!
But as soon as the city lords approached the infantry troops, a rain of arrows came, and they put down half of the city lords, and the remaining half fled back to their camp in embarrassment!
The infantry general brought the army to the ruins of Xiaochang'an, lined up the phalanx, he deliberately did not go to see the city lords, but waited for the city lords to come to see him, and took advantage of the fact that the city lords were defenseless, and immediately cast a secret arrow, and in the blink of an eye, he eliminated half of the opponents!
Releasing such a thing as a cold arrow, not only Yuan Gai Suwen can't stand it, but the city lords can't stand it either!
The city lords who were not shot fled back to the camp, and began to quarrel again, not for anything else, but to compete for the army of those dead city lords, in front of interests, it was really not to give in to each other, and no one was polite!
Fortunately, in the face of the great enemy, the city lords quickly divided the army, gathered the army, lined up the military formation, and confronted the infantry generals.
The two sides scolded, the city lords scolded Yuan Gai Suwen for not being human and wanted to take the opportunity to annex their army, while the infantry troops scolded back, saying that the city lords had assassinated Yuan Gai Suwen!
The city lords don't believe in the words of the infantry troops at all, they have already killed a group of city lords, and they have already turned their faces, even if they are afraid of Yuan Gai Suwen, they can only carry it to the end at this time, they don't believe that Yuan Gai Suwen will die, good people don't live long, the scourge is a thousand years, and Yuan Gai Suwen is such a big scourge, it may be so easy to die!
The battle formations were lined up, and the leaders of the two armies wanted to fight a quick battle, and even the negotiations were saved, and they planned to directly use force to settle the other party! Each sent the most fierce generals in their own army to fight and scold in front of the battle, insulting the eighteenth generation of the other party's ancestors, and slashing and scolding all the time!
At this time, the infantry generals and city lords were all red-eyed, and no one paid attention to the arrival of the real enemy a few miles away, how could they have thought that the Tang army would be watching the excitement from a distance!
The fierce generals in front of the battle fought for two quarters of an hour, and then the victory and defeat were decided, and the soldiers of the city lords were stronger than the infantry troops in terms of personal bravery, and all the warriors sent by the infantry generals were killed. The victorious soldiers cut off the heads of their enemies, held them in their hands, and rejoiced in front of the battle, while the generals of the city lord laughed loudly and their morale was high!
The infantry leader snorted, and said to his generals: "I am using a delaying tactic to buy time for our sons to rest, we will rush back from afar, but they have rested enough, if you don't let your sons rest well, I am afraid that if we wait for the war, we will suffer some small losses!" ”
The generals thought so, nodded yes one after another, and said, "Let them be proud first, let's give them a good look!" ”
Seeing that there was a small victory in front of the battle, and that the morale of their own soldiers was high, the city lords thought that the time had come, so they immediately ordered the cavalry to attack and crush the infantry troops on the opposite side, while their own infantry raised their spears and followed behind the cavalry, and slowly advanced!
The cavalry troops of the city lord were added to a full number of tens of thousands of people, such as concentrating on charging into the battle, piercing into the enemy camp like an awl, it should be said that in Goguryeo's one-acre and three-point land, there really is no infantry unit that can resist, and it has to be rushed through!
However, the cavalry of the city lord were all fighting on their own, and even some soldiers rushed halfway to both sides, turned to flee, and left the battlefield!
The soldiers who fled were the ones who had died in the city. For these cavalrymen, their city lords are all dead, how can they stay here and give their lives to other city lords? If you didn't escape just now, you didn't have a chance, but now once you have a chance, you are a fool if you don't escape...... Who is more stupid than anyone these days!
When the infantry general saw that the cavalry of the city lords had not yet rushed to him, he fled a little first, and immediately laughed and said, "God really help me, it seems that Goguryeo will be mine in the future!" With a wave of his hand, he ordered the archers to release their arrows!
The infantry unit was trained by Yuangai Suwen, which was regarded as the most elite unit in the Goguryeo Kingdom, and the arrows were always sufficient, the soldiers raised their longbows and released arrows into the air, and a ** rain of arrows shot at the cavalry regardless of the cost, even when fighting with the Tang soldiers and the Silla soldiers, their strength was not so great. The archers' fingers are torn off, but they still keep shooting!
The overwhelming rain of arrows caused the cavalry to lose another 30%, and by the time the cavalry rushed into the infantry formation, the number was only more than 3,000!
The archers retreated, and the pikemen rushed after them, stabbing with their spears and holding back the cavalry. It's a pity that the infantry was in too much hurry and didn't do too much to reject the rifles, otherwise a few rows of rejection rifles would stand up, and more than 3,000 cavalry would be able to solve half of them in an instant!
The cavalry rushed into the infantry formation, and the two armies began to fight red, and in the blink of an eye, blood was already flowing, hundreds of soldiers were killed, and corpses were everywhere. The infantry could no longer form a phalanx, and the cavalry could only dismount and fight on foot!
The horn sounded, and the infantry units of the city lords pressed up and rushed into the melee position!
The shouts of killing, the clash of weapons, the sound of drums and trumpets, all mingle! In front of the ruins of Xiao Chang'an, it has become an Asura Hell, and there is blood everywhere!
On the hill in the distance, Wang Ping'an was holding a bowl of broth and snorting and drinking. He looked up at the battlefield, then looked down at the pieces of meat in the bowl, and felt quite disgusting, so he turned around, not looking at the battlefield, and concentrating on drinking the broth!
Su Dingfang and Xue Renyi were also holding the broth, but they didn't feel anything disgusting, and they were laughing while munching on the pieces of meat.
Xue Renyi gulped a sip of soup, swallowed his throat, and said: "These Goguryeo people are very fierce in battle, if you want to say that they are fierce, they are not weaker than our Qingzhou soldiers, they should be stronger than ordinary government soldiers, right?" ”
Su Dingfang chewed horse meat in his mouth, shook his head and said: "You can't say that, this is a field battle, and the Goguryeo people fight themselves, they all know what the opponent is, and they have no worries, so they naturally fight fiercely." If they knew that we were watching them from the other side of the mountain, they wouldn't dare to let go of the fight like this, and they would have to spare some strength to deal with us! ”
Xue Renyi hummed, lowered his head to drink the soup again, and used his fingers to scoop up the pieces of meat inside and eat them.
Wang Ping'an drank a bowl of broth, threw the bowl away, turned around, and said: "Fortunately, they have no city to defend, otherwise even if they suffer heavy losses, but once they retreat to the city, we really can't do anything about them, there are too many casualties in the siege, they can afford to defend it, but we can't attack it!" ”
The generals on the hill nodded together, the Qingzhou soldiers did not bring baggage, and the food was almost broken, not to mention the ladders used to attack the city, if Xiao Chang'an was not burned, as long as the Goguryeo soldiers withdrew to the city, there would be nothing cheap outside the city!
The Qingzhou soldiers finished eating, but the Goguryeo soldiers next to the ruins were still fighting, until it was dark, and the two armies were still fighting!
Judging from the situation, the troops of the city lords have fallen behind, and the soldiers have begun to flee and refuse to fight anymore, while the infantry units of Yuangai Suwen are becoming more and more courageous, although the losses of the soldiers are huge, but seeing that victory is just around the corner, the soldiers and generals still fight with their last strength and fight hard!
If they have the advantage in the battle, the city lords can still unite together, but as soon as they see the general trend, everyone's minds will live, and many city lords will gradually gather their soldiers and slowly withdraw from the battlefield, ready to flee!
Seeing that the victory and defeat were about to be divided, suddenly, there was a horn sound in the distance, which was the long and short tone used by the Tang army to pass orders, as long as the Goguryeo generals who participated in the battle against the Tang Dynasty, they all knew the terrible thing about this long and short sound!
The battlefield gradually quieted down, and the soldiers and generals stopped fighting for the time being and looked northwest together!
