Chapter 104: The First Battle (2)

(Ask for collection)

Zuotun Wei General Mai Tie Zhi jumped onto the east bank of Liaoshui, and behind him, dozens of personal soldiers followed closely. The Korean soldiers were pressed by a burst of feathered arrows, but they were blocked by Mai Tiecane's own soldiers with shields. The nine-foot-tall wheat iron staff is extremely strong, and it has always been the first to fight. He swept away the iron rod and immediately smashed several rushing Korean soldiers to the ground.

This person used to be a Chen person, and after the fall of Nan Chen, Yang Guang took pity on him and collected it for his own use. It is said that he was once a Jiangyang thief, and was captured by the Nanchen Guangzhou Assassin and presented to the Nanchen Emperor as an umbrella slave, but this person's wild surname has not changed. Bai said that he held an umbrella for the emperor, and at night he sneaked out and traveled hundreds of miles to southern Xuzhou to commit crimes, and robbed property with open fire. The next morning, he still held the umbrella for the emperor without delay, and after doing so more than a dozen times, he was finally recognized and sued to the emperor. The emperor didn't believe that this person could travel hundreds of miles at night, so Nanchen Shangshu Cai Zheng came up with a solution.

After listening to Cai Zheng's method, the emperor agreed, and when he retired from the court one day, he suddenly made a request, with a hundred taels of silver as a reward, to recruit a person with light legs and feet to send an urgent official document to Xuzhou in the south, and he must rush back before the next morning to hand over the receipt to the emperor. Everyone calculated the time and found that even if they were galloping on horses, they could not go back and forth, so no one dared to accept it, and Mai Tie Cane did not know what the plan was, and stood up and expressed his willingness to try.

He did not ride a horse, but traveled on foot, going back and forth all night. At this time, the emperor believed that the person who robbed people and property in Nanxuzhou was the wheat iron rod, but he was reluctant to punish him heavily, but only beat ten boards for a slight punishment.

In the winter of the eighth year of the emperor's reign, Yang Guang, who was the king of Jin and Yongzhou Mu, led an army of 510,000 to attack Chen, and the wheat iron rod pretended to surrender, and then broke out and killed more than a dozen soldiers. Captured by the general Yang Su, Yang Su also fell in love with Xiao Yong and was taken under his command.

Later, there were people in Jiangdong who rebelled, and Mai Tiecane followed Yang Su to fight. He crossed the river alone to inquire for information and then returned, and Yang Su sent him to lead an army across the river. But the enemy was far outnumbered by the Iron Staff, and was captured in a dead battle. The traitor marshal Li Ling sent 30 men to escort the wheat iron rod back to the camp, and in the middle of the way, the wheat iron rod was hungry and thirsty and pleaded endlessly, so the rebels untied his rope and let him eat, and the wheat iron rod snatched a horizontal knife, killed all 30 rebels, and then returned to the camp with the army.

In the sixteenth year of the emperor's reign, Mai Tiecane was a general of the chariot cavalry and accompanied Yang Su to conquer the Turks, and he made repeated military exploits. After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he followed Yang Su to pacify and rebel in the state, and was named the pillar country, and was named the Taishou of Runan.

This person's life is legendary, with a strong smell of recklessness.

The first one jumped on the east bank of Liaoshui, and with a stick of Mai Tie scepter, he smashed a rushing Goryeo soldier to death, and then stretched out his hand and said: "Rush forward and kill the people behind to get a foothold!" ”

His two tiger generals, Qian Shixiong and Meng Jincha, agreed loudly, and led their own soldiers to kill them on the left and right of the wheat iron rod. These two people have the courage of ten thousand people, one uses a long lance and the other uses a strange knife, and those who block are invincible. The three of them each took dozens of personal soldiers and slaughtered into the camp of the Goryeo soldiers like three angry dragons out of the water.

A Goryeo commander rushed up with a team of 100 people, picked up a thick-backed chopping knife and slashed at Mai Tiezhu's throat. Mai Tie picked up the iron rod, knocked out the chopping knife of the Qu Shuai, and smashed it on the man's head with another stick, and suddenly, the head of the Gao Li Qu Shuai was shattered like a watermelon smashed by violence. Red, white, and raindrops shot out, splashing the wheat iron rod all over the body.

The marshal's own soldier swung a knife to save him, but was smashed on his waist by a rod of wheat iron. Under the tremendous force, the Korean soldier was smashed sideways and flew out more than three meters away, his whole body was smashed in half, and he spit out a few mouthfuls of bloody broken internal organs, and his eyelids rolled up and he died.

"Kill! Make the way for those behind! ”

He shouted as he pushed forward.

A Korean soldier screamed and rushed over, and the spear that pierced was blocked by Mai Tiecane's own soldier with a shield, and Mai Tiecane smashed it on the shoulder of the Korean soldier, and with a click, half of the Korean soldier's body immediately collapsed. The shoulder was immediately smashed, and one arm was smashed off the body by the iron rod and flew out. The man screamed in pain and fell to the ground, rolling back and forth, but he couldn't die for a while. Mai Tiecane's own soldier stepped forward and cut off the man's head with a single sword.

"Behead one level!"

The soldier shouted loudly, and the soldiers behind him cheered in unison.

Qian Shixiong on the left has a long lance that makes it like a poisonous dragon, stabbing, cutting, sweeping, smashing, cutting, teasing, and killing the enemy. That big lance is whistling, and every blow must kill one person. The Mo knife in Meng Jincha's hand on the right was even sharper, and the heavy and sharp Mo knife of dozens of catties moved like a windmill in his hand, killing several Goryeo soldiers in an instant.

The three men were arrows, leading their own soldiers all the way forward to kill, and in just a few minutes, they rushed forward a distance of more than a dozen steps. At this time, there were at least 50,000 Goryeo soldiers on the east bank of Liaoshui waiting for them, and the three of them, Mai Tiecan, Qian Shixiong, and Meng Jincha, each of whom only brought a few dozen personal soldiers, rushed all the way to kill without fear.

The Goryeo general Eulji Wende stood on the high slope, looking at the brave and fierce Sui generals, and the more than 1,000 Goryeo soldiers pressed against them and couldn't stop the attack of a few hundred or dozens of people, and couldn't help but turn extremely ugly. He knew that the combat power of the soldiers under his command was far inferior to the elite soldiers of the Great Sui, and he did not underestimate the enemy from the beginning. But he didn't expect that the Sui people would be so brave that it was almost impossible to resist.

"Order, let the heavy armor go up, and the Sui soldiers must be pushed back into the river!"

Eulzhiwende commanded loudly.

With the advancement of Mai Tiezhuan and Qian Shixiong and Meng Jincha, the front of the pontoon bridge was forcibly expanded by a distance of dozens of steps. The follow-up Zuotun guard soldiers jumped off the pontoon bridge and spontaneously joined the ranks of the three generals. Originally, the sharp arrow formation with three people as the arrow was still very thin, but as more and more Zuotun Guard soldiers joined, it gradually became three larger and larger conical formations!

The wheat iron rod is the sharpness of the cone-shaped array, and an iron rod is unstoppable.

He always had two personal soldiers behind him to protect his flanks, and if someone fell, the people behind him would immediately come up. Therefore, there is no need to be distracted at all, and blindly rush forward to kill. The duty of the soldiers is to protect the main general, as long as the main general is safe, their military merits are higher than other soldiers! In the same way, once the Lord is killed, the soldiers will often commit suicide en masse or die in other ways to bury the Lord General. As pro-soldiers, they are usually treated much better than ordinary soldiers, and there are far more opportunities for meritorious service than others.

Standing behind the main general, they have a much better chance of coming out than ordinary soldiers, and similarly, they are also much more dangerous.

As more and more Zuotun guards crossed the river, the conical formation behind Mai Tiecane gradually formed a scale. Just when the Goryeo soldiers blocking the river bank were killed and retreated, suddenly the Goryeo army on the high slope was divided, and a group of almost 500 heavy infantry rushed over.

Mai Tiecan's eyes lit up, he wiped a handful of wet blood from the beard on his face, and pointed forward with the iron rod: "Kill!" ”

The heavily armored infantry in formation were armed with ring-headed broadswords, and their bodies were fully armoured, as if a whole mass, heavy piece of metal had pressed against them. The armor on their bodies was thick, and feathered arrows would hardly cause them fatal damage when they fell on them. And all the samurai who were selected as heavy armor were tall and strong. Even if they suffered some minor injuries, it would have no effect on them, and the chain mail on their bodies would hardly cause much damage even if the Great Sui's standard horizontal knife slashed on it.

However, in terms of foot combat, the elite soldiers of the Great Sui have not encountered an opponent for more than 20 years.

Whether it is the combat ability of individual soldiers or the cooperation with each other, it is far from being comparable to the Korean soldiers. The coalition forces that had previously resisted the Sui army's Goryeo cities were far from being the opponents of the Great Sui soldiers, and even the heavy armor of those hundreds of people was not an insurmountable wall in the eyes of Mai Tiezhu and others.

When Qian Shixiong saw the heavy infantry, instead of being afraid, his eyes lit up. A cruel smile cracked into the corner of his mouth, and he hurried to meet it.

The conical formation of the three Zuotun guards slammed into the phalanx of five hundred Goryeo hoplites almost at the same time. In an instant, waves of blood flew.

Qian Shixiong stabbed out with a lance, accurately stabbing the neck of the weakest protection of the heavy infantry. The three-foot-long lance easily cut through the thin chain mail that protected the neck, and then pierced through it. A cascade of blood poured out of the soldier's neck, and he let out a hoarse howl of reluctance and fell limply.

The general of the Goryeo hoplite infantry was a man who was two meters tall. He walked at the front of the line, straight to the McIron staff.

It has been more than ten minutes since the killing, but dozens of pounds of heavy iron rods are still fast.

With a blow, he smashed the Goryeo general's ring-headed broadsword, and Mai Tie Staff smashed the iron rod that was raised high down. The Goryeo general raised his sword in both hands, and with a bang, the iron rod smashed on the ring head of the big knife and stirred up a spark. The Goryeo general's burly and majestic figure was so smashed by this stick that his knees were weak and he almost knelt down. Mai Tie Staff held the iron rod, his beard flew, his tiger eyes widened, and the muscles on his arms instantly bulged.

The Goryeo general gritted his teeth and persisted, but his knees were bent down little by little.

Seeing that the opponent couldn't resist it, Mai Tiezhu laughed, raised a kick and kicked it on the front door of the Korean general, and this kick directly kicked the Korean man backwards and rolled over. Mai Tiezhu laughed wildly as he strode forward, stomped on the chest of the Goryeo general, and stabbed the iron rod in his hand as a cherry spear in the man's face!

The iron rod has no edge, but it is heavy!

With a pop, one end of the iron rod stabbed hard in the face of the Goryeo general!

In an instant, the heavy iron rod poked into his face, and immediately poked a huge bloody hole in his face, nose, eyes, and mouth, and disappeared in his face at the same time.

When the rod was pulled out, the head of the Goryeo general's rotten watermelon-like head was embedded in the earth, and a bloody eye hung on the edge of a shocking blood hole.

Mai's iron rod was majestic, and he smashed into the Goryeo hoplites with an iron rod.

But at this moment, there was an exclamation from the river!

"The bridge is broken!"

"Ahh

"Help!"

Mai Tiezhu hurriedly turned around to look, only to see that the pontoon bridge where the men and horses of the general Yu Wenshu of Zuo Zhenwei were located, and was hit by the crossbow of the Goryeo army more than a dozen times one after another, and it unstoppably broke away from the middle. Hundreds of shield-bearer archers at the front of the bow wailed and fell into the water, like countless leaves falling in the water, and soon they were swept into the water, looming, and washed downstream with the waves.

Mai Tiezhu's face changed, and a little ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.
