Chapter 140: Ambush on all sides
The sky is falling, the earth is cracking!
For the people of Goguryeo, the Han family of the Central Plains Dynasty gave them a kind of fear buried in their hearts.
For them, every time a powerful dynasty in the Central Plains falls, the Central Plains will always fall into decades, even centuries of division and strife. At this time, in the eyes of their self-proclaimed wolf tribe, the people of the Central Plains were just a group of lambs waiting for them to plunder.
Whenever they want to, they can gather the tribal soldiers and horses and run to the Central Plains to plunder them. But the original people also built the Great Wall like sheep to guard against them, isn't this just enclosing themselves like sheep? As long as they break the sheepfold, they can eat as much as they want.
But they will not forget that it is such a nation, and whenever their internal division is over, it is a nightmare for all the people of all ethnic groups on the border of the Central Plains. They will not forget that the Great Sui was founded only a few decades, but it was they who broke the Turkic Khanate across the boundless steppe, and even Luo Khan is still stranded in the Great Sui.
They will not forget that after the founding of Goguryeo, those who had been beaten by the Central Plains Dynasty were forced to move the capital three times and retreated to the Samhan Peninsula. They will not forget that as soon as the Sui army came out, the whole of Goguryeo was forced to retreat to the mountain city. It took hundreds of years to develop to the west of the Liao River, and several fortified cities were established there, but now they have become the three towns of Luhe, Huaiyuan Town, and Tonghua Town of the Sui Dynasty.
I will not forget that after the Sui attacked Goguryeo three times, although the Sui army withdrew in vain every time, their casualties and captives also numbered hundreds of thousands.
The Han people of the Central Plains represent the most gentle and fierce race in the world! When divided, everyone can bully it, and once it is unified, "it is the nightmare of all their border tribes, and every time these tribes will shed rivers of blood and their homeland will be in ruins!"
The horses are galloping, and the iron hooves are roaring! Riding a spear and raising it, the knight roars!
The more than 20,000 cavalry that suddenly came out is the strongest fighting force in the entire Liaodong Army today. There is the First Heavy Cavalry Brigade of the Reserve Army, which retains the complete strength of 3,000 broken barracks, and there are also dozens of reconnaissance battalions composed of elite hunters from various divisions and regiments. Even the independent light cavalry regiment, which also retains the complete elite of the broken barracks, is among the ranks.
Guo Xiaoke took the lead, with a horse lance in his hand, bowing down on the horse, and staring at the Liao people who were hurriedly lined up in the distance with a pair of eyes. Behind him was the Brigade Flag Guard, composed of elite officers, guarding the half-remaining Brigade Flag.
Last time, Chen Kefu revoked his number in public, and even the brigade flag was cut in half, which was an unprecedented shame for him. In any case, he, a self-proclaimed handsome general, would use the blood of the Liao people to wash away the shame they had suffered before in this ambush battle.
Facing the Glaive defensive array that the Liao people hastily laid out, he didn't look at it at all. They have more than 20,000 cavalry, and the elite cavalry of the original broken military camp with 4,000 people is still fully established. Not to mention humming that their veterans of the 3,000 elite broken barracks were desperate to use the blood of the Liao people to wash away their previous shameful heavy cavalry brigade.
He didn't look at those thin spear formations at all, as long as the brothers of the heavy cavalry brigade charged, they could break through the rear of the Liao people and continue to attack the Chinese troops of the Liao people.
When the first arrow sounded in the canyon, Yuan Taidi had already expected that something would be in trouble. Sure enough, as he expected, "The commander of the rear army sent guards to report, and an elite Sui cavalry of more than 10,000 people suddenly entered outside the canyon in the east, and was killing them.
More than 10,000 cavalry, which is not a small number, and since the Sui army suddenly appeared here "and sent troops to attack from their coming road." Judging by his years of experience, this is definitely not a lone army. Attacking from behind, it must be to cut off their retreat, and it doesn't mean anything, the Sui people must have set up an ambush in this canyon. At the very least, there will definitely be a force to the west in front of them to cut off their path.
Thinking of this, "Yuan Taidi is also face is iron-blue, even if he can already calculate the strategy of the Sui army, but in this valley, he has no choice. When we meet on a narrow road, only the brave wins.
"The whole army is deployed on the spot" to set up a defensive formation! After giving the order, he turned to the soldier who had come to report the news, "Has General Yuangai Tong told you which cavalry is attacking the rear army?" Under what banner? ”,
"Back to the words of the marshal, there are many flags in the Sui cavalry, the first flag is a black sè battle flag with only half of the face, embroidered with the four words of the heavy infantry brigade and a pair of white sè wings, and the flags behind are all under the banner of the reconnaissance battalion of the first division and the reconnaissance battalion of the first regiment of the first division, it is estimated that there must be forty or fifty such flags, among which there is a big flag, embroidered with a big plum character, which seems to be the banner of the main general of this cavalry!
Yuan Taiyu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "Brigade? Battalion? As far as he knew, the two teams of the Sui army were 100 people as a brigade, and the two brigades were 200 people as a regiment, also called a battalion. But right now, the Ministry of Intelligence is sorry for what he knows. Even if there are fifty camp flags, the number of people should be about 10,000, which is not much different in number, but I have never seen such a situation where there is no higher level of camp flags alone.
Shuai Qi is playing the character Li, and he has not heard that any of the generals of the Sui army who attacked Goguryeo this time is surnamed Li. As for the half-way banner, it made him even more puzzled, it stands to reason that the cavalry of more than 10,000 people must be at least one of the soldiers and horses of the 24th Route of Sui. ”
Before he could figure out what was going on, suddenly there was another chaotic sound, and a former army officer rushed over and reported loudly, "Marshal, General Yuan Pure Land ordered me to report that the front army has discovered the Sui army." The Sui army suddenly rushed out into the valley to the north, and about 10,000 well-equipped Sui infantry troops had blocked the way for our army to advance. At present, the Sui army has been killed by our front army! ”
Yuan Tai Di had no surprised reaction with a cold face, there would be a Sui army in the north to block his advance, which he had already thought of just now. There are more than 10,000 elite infantry, and at present, the Sui army and horses are already as many as theirs, and they must be even worse in terms of combat effectiveness. After thinking about it, he said loudly, "Pass my general's order, let General Yuan Pure Land lead the front army to slowly retreat in a defensive formation, and move closer to our Chinese army!" ”
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
There was a dull sound of cowhide drums, and everyone couldn't help but shake their heads and look around, looking for the location of the sound.
"Dashuai, on the North Mountain, you see, a lot of well flags have been erected!"
Yuan Tai Gu turned his head and looked at the Beishan mountain ridge a few days away, where the battle flags of the Sui army were erected all over the mountains, just looking at the number of flags, this soldier and horse was afraid that there must be 100,000 people.
There were more than 10,000 elite cavalry of the Sui army on the back road, and the front road was blocked by more than 10,000 Sui army infantry troops. Especially many tribal lords, their bowels are green at this time. Originally, I was just thinking that I was going to take advantage of the opportunity, but now it's okay, I actually sent it to the door to ambush the Sui army.
"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”
A whistling suddenly came from the air, and many panicked young men looked up one after another, only to see that they didn't know when they started, and on the north and south mountains of Jinshan Canyon, there were actually pieces of Sui army. Beside them were large long-range weapons such as catapults, Fuyuan crossbows, and twisted chuáng crossbows that had just been removed from the branches.
The sound that had just come from the air was the sound of the crossbow arrows fired by the Sui army.
The distance of the Fuyuan crossbow reached three hundred paces, and at this time, it shot at them from the mountainsides on both sides of the canyon, and shot from a high place, and the entire Liao array was basically within the attack range of the crossbow arrows on the mountains on both sides of them.
With a crossbow attack, the crossbow arrows that were nearly a foot long with a whistling sound could penetrate the bodies of three or four soldiers at once.
At this time, the soldiers of the engineer battalion of the Sui army were beginning to wind the largest twisting crossbow, which is the world's longest-range mass destruction weapon today, with a range of nearly seven hundred steps. What's even more terrifying is that the crossbow arrows it uses are even larger than the Fuyuan crossbow, even if it is wearing a sturdy armor, it is shot by the twisted chuáng crossbow, even if it is rubbed, the whole body will be divided into two parts.
More equipment on the mountainside was trebuchet, and this time there were not many large catapults. The hundreds of catapults brought from Liaodong City in a row began to load stones of five or six catties at this time, and if they bounced down, they would definitely kill one or two people.
The crossbow arrows shot by the Fuyuan crossbow seemed to blow the horn of the Sui army's general attack.
A burst of hissing came from the south, and I saw that another Sui army infantry army had come out.
The first battle flag was also only half, but it was the 6,000 men and horses of the First Heavy Infantry Brigade of the Reserve led by Li Shimin and Li Xuanba's brothers. Behind the battalion flags fluttered, but it was the soldiers of the eighteen light infantry battalions of the two divisions of the fourth and fifth divisions. They had already laid an ambush here according to their generals, and at this time, they saw that the cavalry had blocked the retreat of the Liao, and the first division had blocked the way for the Liaons to advance. For a while, it was the murderous one who came out of it and went straight to the handsome banner of Zhongjun Yuan Taidi.
The Sui soldiers and horses on the north mountain did not go down the mountain, but lined up on the mountain to watch the battle, the big drums on one side kept beating, and the Sui army and the Liao soldiers below finally got closer and closer, and a tearing and killing began again.
The Liao soldiers and horses didn't have time to retreat and get closer together, so they were divided by the Sui army in three ways.
Brothers, I don't want to say anything more, on the first day of March, I was counting on my brothers to give me a few more monthly passes...... If you don't have a monthly pass, you can also recommend a ticket
