Chapter 1008: Enemy on the Belly and Back
Yuangai Suwen said with a smile: "General Yang, your performance is not bad, I see that you also killed the defense line of more than 1,000 people of the Sui army over there, and also killed a lot of enemy soldiers." ”
Yang Wanchun smiled slightly: "This is the luck of our army, the enemy suddenly disorganized itself and withdrew the defense, so that we were able to break through so easily." ”
Yuangai Suwen's face changed slightly, and his tone became a little stiff: "It's not that the enemy army is in chaos, it's the hard work of our Goguryeo warriors, so that they can't resist, even if they line up, don't you General Yang have the confidence to break through their line?" ”
Yang Wanchun smiled and shook his head: "General Yuan's words are serious, these Sui troops only have long lancers, and there is no chariot and the cover of the deer, and there are no crossbowmen, on this flat, it is impossible to block the assault of our cavalry, the difference is how much time we need to deal with them." Under normal circumstances, at least we have to die more than a thousand brothers and rush five or six back and forth to compete for complete success. This will buy time for their reinforcements to arrive. ”
Yuangai Suwen sneered: "Reinforcements? Where did they get reinforcements? The central Sui army is advancing into the camp at this time, and there is not a single soldier who can distinguish it, and even if they transfer hundreds or thousands of people, they also have no protection against horses, so what's the use? ”
Yang Wanchun stretched out his hand and pointed to the opposite bank, and said: "Look at the Sui army on the other side, the three pontoon bridges have been erected, if you want to come over to support, I'm afraid it won't take long to run over, although the big mattress (Yuan Taizuo) temporarily stopped shooting the catapult, but if they really want to come over desperately to support, I'm afraid that our catapult is full of firepower, and it may not be able to stop them." If it weren't for the Sui army itself, it would have given up the array. I'm afraid of the time that these lancers will resist. It was enough for the reinforcements of the Sui army to cross the river! ”
Yuangai Suwen's eyebrows raised slightly, narrowed his eyes, and nodded: "You have a point, I have been wondering about this question just now, why didn't the Sui army send reinforcements across the river?" ”
As he was talking, he saw that the Sui army on the opposite side suddenly changed formation, and thousands of archers armed with strong crossbows ran out of the queue in the rear, and the trebuchet was there. The sergeants also began to load their ammunition into the slug and hang up their weights, apparently in a state of quasi-firing.
Yang Wanchun's face changed, and he said, "It's not good, it seems that the Sui army is going to attack with arrows!" ”
Yuan Gai Suwen flicked the horse's head, put on the golden mask again, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and walked away, but his words drifted into Yang Wanchun's ears far away with the wind: "General Yang, here is for you to clean up." Now that the remnants of the enemy have been destroyed, I will hurry up and attack the rear of the enemy army! ”
With his ride to the dust. It turned out that the cavalry under Yuangai Suwen stopped shooting the Sui army in the river one after another, and instead followed Yuangai Suwen's back, rushing towards the camp, Yang Wanchun's eyes flashed a trace of dissatisfaction, and muttered: "Yuangai Suwen, your appearance is too ugly, can you really bully your allies like this if you really think that your own Lao Tzu is a handsome?" ”
But he still shook his head and shouted to his subordinates behind him: "Quickly leave the riverbank, don't go to harvest the head, the bows and arrows of the Sui army are coming, retreat quickly!" ”
Nearly 10,000 Goguryeo cavalry suddenly divided into two distinct roads, one to the right retreat of the camp, and the other from the hundreds of paces wide front of the camp destroyed by the Sui army's wheat iron staff, rushed towards the Sui army in the village.
Wang Shichong looked at the scene opposite and sighed: "The death of our army in the sky is not a crime of war!" He turned his head to look at Mai Mengcai, who was already in tears, stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly, "Mengcai, don't be too sad, now the battle is still going on, maybe a miracle can happen, you quickly give the order, let the crossbowmen and catapults by the river speed up the attack, and strive to open a passage for your father's breakthrough!" ”
Mai Mengcai also knew that it was impossible to send troops over at this time, otherwise he would only meet with the Mai Tie staff who might be able to withdraw on the bridge, and in the end he couldn't get over, and he couldn't retreat, he bit his lip, his teeth had begun to bleed, he nodded fiercely, and didn't wipe the hot tears that had been rolling down, his hands danced like windmills, and Wang Shichong's order was quickly and accurately transmitted to the riverside!
The crossbowmen of the Sui army raised the crossbows in their hands as obliquely as possible, in order to shoot the farthest elevation angle and parabola, and the catapulters also tried to pick those small, broken stones, in order to reach the farthest distance of each stone, with the respective commanders under the order, the sound of the crossbow machine pulling was endless, mixed with the "whining" wind sound when the stones broke through the air, the sky was full of crossbows and gravel, pouring towards the opposite east bank.
Mai Tiezhu was directing his subordinates, continuing to move forward, suddenly only heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, the sound of shouting and killing was endless, his face changed greatly, turned his head to look, only to see Qian Shixiong covered in blood, helmet was gone, his head was scattered, under the escort of more than a dozen personal soldiers, he staggered to run towards himself, while running, while shouting: "Old Mai, save me, save me!" ”
Mai Tiezhu's eyes widened, and two big strides rushed forward, rushed to Qian Shixiong's side at once, grabbed the collar of his shirt that was turned out of the armor, and shouted: "What the hell is going on? What about General Meng? What about your subordinates?! ”
Qian Shixiong cried and said: "General Mai, it's all my fault, I was greedy for a while, I listened to the nonsense of Qi being invincible, and collected troops to harvest the heads of those Goguryeo soldiers, but Lao Meng also came with me to grab people's heads, and the soldiers who stayed and stayed on the river bank didn't care, regardless of the military orders, scattered, scattered and harvested, and as a result, the result was ......."
When he said this, he was so ashamed and ashamed that he couldn't cry anymore, and he couldn't even speak.
A personal soldier beside Qian Shixiong said: "General Mai, just when we were taking the head, the Goguryeo cavalry rushed over, there was no one on the riverbank, and it couldn't be stopped at all, brothers, brothers threw down their heads, and wanted to pick up the lance and line up to resist, but, but the array in a hurry couldn't resist, the Goguryeo cavalry first released arrows, and then assaulted, we, we couldn't beat it at all!" General Meng had already died in battle when he was behind the palace, and he desperately asked us to keep General Qian over, that is, to report to you! ”
Mai Tiezhu roared, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, his eyes were black, and his body was about to fall backwards, but several soldiers behind him hurriedly stepped forward to support him. (To be continued......)
