Chapter 1093: Hunt down and kill on all fronts
In the military formation of the Sui army, three red flags were raised, which was a signal for the whole army to assault and move forward, and the five thousand cavalry in the front shouted in unison, and began to use the cavalry wedge-shaped phalanx to launch a surprise attack in the Goguryeo army, which was already a scattered large array, and the Goguryeo army was no longer in an array, shouting, and gongs sounded in one piece, and even those drummers in the camp behind the formation threw down the drumsticks in their hands, took off their armor, and fled everywhere.
The Goguryeo army, which was ten miles wide and listed the spear array and shield array, was less than 3,000, and the officers who still insisted on fighting had no time to stop drinking, chasing down those deserters, and throwing every sergeant they could catch to the front line with kicks and pushes, was the only thing they could do now.
And after the spear and shield arrays of Goguryeo, the archers had already run seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, and there were less than 5,000 people left, and they no longer bothered to act in unison according to the orders of the officers, took out the arrows in the quiver bag, put them at a random angle, and fired them forward with the greatest force, one after another, as long as these damn arrows were shot, they could use the excuse of going back to get the arrows, and escape.
Wang Shichong stood on the high slope, looked at the cavalry of the Sui army coldly, put out dozens of triangular formations, and launched a surprise attack on the front of the other party on a ten-mile-wide front, these ironclad cavalry of the Sui army, one by one, wearing chain mail, wearing evil ghost faces, and half of the horses were also wearing thick leather armor, on this battlefield, rampage, like a chariot.
Although the Goguryeo army also rained arrows from time to time, such a free fire could not form the momentum of firepower coverage at all. Sparse lala. The cavalry of the Sui army rushed from the front of the formation to a distance of about 100 paces in front of the Goguryeo army. Only more than a hundred cavalrymen turned over and fell off their horses, and none of the wedge-shaped cavalry was affected by this, the speed of the war horses became faster and faster, and the four hooves flew one after another, and the knights' eyes flashed with excitement and longing for killing intent, and they rushed straight to the opposite Goguryeo army.
Bursts of orders were issued through the drums and horns of the cavalry captains, and these cavalry were charging with all their might. They took off the big bows on their backs and saddles, wound their arrows, and did not aim at the opposing Goguryeo front, but they fired a volley, and the impact of the horses and the range brought by the compound bows of their own cavalry made the strength and speed of these bows and arrows close to the crossbows.
The front line of the Goguryeo army was not completely protected by shields, and less than half of the soldiers had shields in front of them, and the rest were crouched on the ground with their spears pointed diagonally upward. The spearmen who were ready to shake the iron cavalry of the Sui army fell into bad luck, and the screams came and went. Groups of Goguryeo soldiers were shot like hedgehogs, screaming, throwing down their weapons and rolling on the ground.
Even those Goguryeo soldiers who held wooden shields were not much luckier, their wooden shields were originally half a foot thick, and they were said to be able to block bow and arrow shots at a distance of 100 paces, and even infantry crossbows of two or three stones could not penetrate these wooden shields at a distance of 150 paces. But the huge momentum of the cavalry brought a great bonus to the bow and arrow shooting on the horse, even the wooden shield was shot through one after another, and even the Goguryeo soldiers who buried their bodies behind the shield were stabbed by the arrows through the tip of the shield, and the blood flowed on the head, hands, and arms, and the wooden shields also fell all over the ground.
With only a rain of arrows, at least more than 2,000 people fell in the front row of the Goguryeo army, and the entire front-line array had fallen into complete chaos.
The knights of the Sui army threw away or hung back their bows and arrows, and the riding lances that were more than two zhang long that had been hanging on the weapon racks were all copied in their hands, lifted, flattened, and lifted to shoulder height, while their men stood on the stirrups one after another, holding the horse lances in both hands, and galloped at full speed, rushing to the forefront of the Goguryeo army that had been dispersed at the fastest and most ferocious speed.
Like a black angry wave, crashing into a beach made of sand, Goguryeo's line of contradictions was smashed and torn apart without suspense, and more than 5,000 Sui army knights, like hundreds of sharp blades, wedged into the front line of the Goguryeo army on the entire ten-mile-wide front, on average, on each lance, at least three corpses of the Goguryeo army were pierced, and the Goguryeo army, which was pushed forward by this lance all the way against the corpse, and the Goguryeo army, which was pushed down by this lance, was at least ten digits, and all the Goguryeo soldiers could not form resistance, It's just that there are a few archers who want to fight hand-to-hand and desperately, and before they can touch the legs of the Sui army, they push a bunch of their own comrades-in-arms to the next and west, pressing under a dozen or twenty people, and it is impossible to even move.
Seeing that the iron cavalry of the Sui army had completely torn apart the defense line of the Goguryeo army, ravaging and raging everywhere in this thick line, the knights had long abandoned their horse lances and switched to various blunt-tipped secondary weapons, smashing and knocking everywhere in this pile, copper hammers, crane beak pecks, steel whips, iron maces, meteor hammers, these things flew in the crowd, and with every swing, they could smash the heads of one or even several Goguryeo soldiers, and the white brains and blood exuded a very strong smell of irritation, splashing everywhere, It's a ferocity and sexiness in its bones.
Lai Hu'er licked his lips unconsciously, this kind of killing is enough to make everyone's heart beat faster, four or five miles away from the battlefield, the wind blows, and it is full of that salty and fishy taste, this smell will make ordinary people vomit more than once, but it makes these bloodthirsty generals deaf, and the whole person is as comfortable as drinking fine wine.
Lai Hu'er laughed, and said to Zhou Fashang beside him: "Now it's okay, the infantry follow up, don't keep in formation, follow the cavalry and charge to kill, completely destroy the big camp of Goguryeo, remember, this battle is based on beheading and capture to calculate military merits, and everyone needs to kill happily." ”
Wang Shichong's brows furrowed slightly, and said: "Come to the big handsome, I'm afraid that it's not good to talk about military merits by beheading at this time, the soldiers are red-eyed today, and they will only snatch the heads, and let go of the enemy's deserters, and even the cavalry and infantry will lose their fighters in order to compete for merit, especially the cavalry, not following the pursuit of the enemy, but harvesting the head here, I am afraid that a considerable part of the enemy will escape."
