Chapter 1 Pulling the wind out
On a high slope not far from the Liao River, a man in exquisite armor and a yellow wind was raising his eyes to look at the Liao River in the distance. Behind him were nearly two hundred knights riding tall horses, quietly guarding the sides.
In May, the ice on the Liao River had already melted, and the army had to build several pontoon bridges to cross the river. Under the guard of everyone, the man clearly saw that with the efforts of many soldiers and craftsmen, three floats had been erected on the wide Liao River, and it seemed that it was only a little bit to be built on the opposite bank.
Facing the last bit of light at dusk, I saw a burst of dust flying far away on the other side of the river. The galloping knight rushed to the river in an instant with his spear, and at this time there were already many soldiers on the pontoon bridge who could not wait to step on the pontoon bridge to the bank of the Liao River. Before they could set foot on the land on the shore, the knight, like a gust of wind, began to mercilessly harvest the soldiers who were blocked by the river with his spear.
The sudden appearance of the enemy caused confusion among the soldiers on the other bank, and many soldiers even fell into the icy Liao River in order to avoid the enemy's attack. The cavalry that suddenly appeared on the other side were like merciless reapers of life, constantly holding their spears, stabbing out, retracting, stabbing and retracting. Sometimes the spear was too deep to be drawn, and the knights did not hesitate too much, still holding the spear with the corpse to the next target again, the corpses strung together, in this increasingly dim twilight, it seemed so cold and merciless.
On the other side of the river, a huge war drum sounded, and the knight in light armor followed the group through the pontoon bridge to charge the enemy, thinking that this was definitely the sound of more than a hundred war drums, and it was definitely a good cowhide drum.
He knew that the other party had finally recovered from the chaos, and that the other party was using this big drum to let the soldiers organize to resist their attack. The other side tried to stop them from taking them by surprise and attacking the other side.
A cold drop of rain fell on the knight's face, and he knew that it was not blood, but blood had a warm feeling, and it was a cold and moist feeling. He knew that it was raining again, and the wind was blowing across both sides of the Liao River, making the hunting sound of the flags.
The people on the other side obviously did not expect the enemy to appear suddenly, and the pontoon bridge, which was just about to be completed, became a tool for the other side to quickly cross the river and attack them. The cavalry had already rushed to the opposite bank on the pontoon bridge that had just been built, and the smoke and dust rushed up from behind, and their infantry followed.
The man in the yellow cloak on the high slope quietly looked at everything in front of him and said in a low voice, "It's raining!" ”
As soon as his words fell, at this moment, the wind and clouds changed, the rivers and mountains changed color, the clouds were dense, and countless thunderbolts split down from the air, just behind the panicked soldiers and craftsmen on the west bank of the Liao River, a young general with a white horse and white robe jumped out with thunder and lightning, holding a long lance, with a bow on his waist, shouting loudly, and the cavalry who had just rushed up on the opposite side was also shocked by this indomitable momentum and paused.
In this dim and bloody battlefield, he was wearing such a conspicuous white robe, and behind the young general riding a white horse, he was closely followed by the ** cavalry knight, all of whom were holding spears and halberds, opening and closing left and right, waving up and down. For a time, it was invincible, and there was a counter-charge on this huge battlefield.
Like a boulder in a flood, they rushed up against the surging waves. Under their counterattack, more soldiers immediately followed behind them to form a small formation behind a few people and counterattack the enemy.
At this moment, the drums and horns sounded in the large array behind, and the general of the large battalion commander finally ordered the foot soldiers to form a phalanx of spears, and squeezed towards the river bank like an iron wall with neat steps. And on both sides of the phalanx of spears, a large number of knights on war horses roared by, and they began to attack from both sides.
It was only the cavalry that had just rushed over, and their infantry was still hundreds of paces away from the Liao River. Although the cavalry had previously relied on its high mobility to rush across the pontoon bridge by surprise, it was finally unable to withstand the increasing pressure. Under the constant surprise attacks of the spear phalanx and the cavalry on both sides, from time to time a knight fell from his horse and was trampled into mud by the galloping hooves.
The previous white-robed young general also felt a lot more relaxed at this time, and he was rushing to kill, and he even raised his head to the sky with a long roar, and took a few horsemen from the left and right like tigers down the mountain, rushing left and right, and no one could stop him for half a point, his eyes were staring at a leading general in the opponent's formation.
The situation on the battlefield soon changed subtly, and the cavalry that had attacked earlier could not wait for the infantry to respond, and could no longer resist the overwhelming superiority of the enemy in front of them, and began to retreat one after another.
The cavalry general who led the air attack knew that they had been tricked by the enemy, and it turned out that the other party had already set up such a trap and was waiting for their arrival. There are only three pontoon bridges to cross the river, and although the cavalry horses are fast, it is not so easy to retreat across the river bank in a short time. In order to successfully retreat across the river, they could only keep leaving men and horses on the bank of the river to stop the pursuers, but these people could not stop them for a few minutes for the enemy who was chasing them like a tide.
The sky lit up with lightning again, and I saw that the young general who was white before was illuminated by the bright and dazzling thunder and lightning at this time, and the shining bright light armor of the whole body reflected the dazzling bright light.
The knights who came by surprise came quickly, but they were also defeated. Without waiting for their infantry to meet in formation, the army behind them had already been killed by the white-robed general who was like a god. The poor infantry had been on the road for so long, and finally ran to the river, but before they could stop and form their formation, they were already overwhelmed by their own cavalry.
The cavalry in front of him had just passed, and the cavalry of the black crow in the back with the sound of rumbling horses' hooves rolled over again under the leadership of a white dazzling knight. A spear, a horse lance, a long sword, a scimitar, before they could react, they were already head-on. Dodged one, and immediately another one roared to him, and then the knight didn't look at the results of the battle, but just followed the white-robed young general all the way to kill.
The man on the high slope in the distance on the other side of the riverbank, until the army had killed the Liaoshui riverbank, turned his head to the several generals behind him who had been looking at the generals in the distance and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, who can tell me who is the commander of the white-robed young general just now?" is so brave, it is really comparable to the Three Kingdoms Changshan Zhao Zilong! Contrary to his indifferent expression, he stroked his long beard and laughed.
The tall Liaodong City was close at hand, but the more than 30,000 people who went out of the city to attack the Great Sui River crossing army could never return to Liaodong City. The dozens of miles from the Liao River to Liaodong City became a road sprinkled with the blood of Goguryeo warriors. They fell into the trap of the Sui people, and the army of the Great Sui had already opened a net to wait for them, and the initial reaction of the Sui army on the Liao River was completely to lead them deeper, not allowing them to have the opportunity to form a formation with the rear of the foot to defend on the shore.
"Who said that the Goguryeo people were strong?"
At the next stone's throw from Liaodong City, the white-robed young general and several knights who had been following him stood there provocatively looking at the Goguryeo people in the city. Behind him, a bearded Lu Shi, about thirty or so, looked proudly at the last headless cavalryman under the horse who was cut to the ground by him, and the tall war horse of the Goguryeo cavalry was now holding his hand. As for the knight's head, he stuck his spear into it, and provoked the defenders of Liaodong City.
Another big man, Mao Yili, who also had a full beard, ignored him, and he was standing on the ground searching for the corpse of the general-looking figure. After a long time, except for a few pieces of gold and silver, nothing that could prove his identity was found, and he angrily took off the armor from the corpse.
Behind the white-robed young general, Chen Qing, a knight in his twenties, glanced at the person who spoke before with some disdain. "I remember that when the big boss wanted to take us to Liaodong, some people said that if they came, they would be sent to death, and they clamored for the big boss to take us to Shandong and flee to Shandong, right?"
"This kind of thing is actually said by someone? The Goguryeo people killed more than 300,000 of my good men in the Central Plains last year, of course we have to avenge them, otherwise wouldn't we also call the word "hero" in vain? If you find him, we must make him admit his mistake in front of everyone, and at least invite everyone to a drink. ”
Chen Qing was only a young man about twenty years old, how could he say anything about him in the face of an old fritter like Lu Shishen, he could only stare at him hatefully. Lu Shishen whistled disappreciably, holding a spear, and flaunting his might at the defenders at the head of Liaodong City.
Mao Yi tied the armor pushed off the enemy on the ground on the horse's back, and looked at this pair of guys who could always fight no matter when and where they were. Turned his head to look at Chen Kefu, the big boss who had a straight waist and kept squinting at the head of the city.
"Big boss, you're not righteous enough today. actually came up with such a sassy idea, and actually made such a stylish armor by himself, and snatched my Qianli Xue. You're in the limelight today, if you let us know sooner, we'll be able to get out of here. On the battlefield just now, looking at you like that, I was so envious that you were the same as the Three Kingdoms Changshan Zhao Zilong that I heard the storyteller say before. ”
Chen Qing also said with envy, "That's it, that's it, it's the big boss." Your brave performance just now must have been seen by His Majesty the Emperor, and I guess it will definitely reward you greatly in a while, maybe you will be promoted from the captain to the team leader, and then the big boss will be able to bring fifty people. ”
Lu Shishen raised the bar and said, "Look at your little bit of talent, today's big boss has made such a great contribution, I think at least he is also a brigade commander, maybe he will marry a princess to our big boss when the time comes." I heard that His Majesty the Emperor's princesses are all beautiful and fragrant, and they are more beautiful than the daughters of the old man Niu in our Zhuangzi. ”
The white-robed young general on the horse listened to the nonsense of these guys under him, and smiled slightly, "Let's go back to the camp, maybe the team is looking for us." ”
In 613 AD, in the ninth year of the Sui Dynasty, in the third war against Goguryeo, the Sui Dynasty army finally broke the enemy army at the Liao River and successfully crossed the Liao River.
