Chapter 60: The Great Victory of Anshi City

On the plains, because of the explosion of the grenade, a huge wave of air was set off, and on the unsheltered land, the exploding grenade could reach its maximum lethality.

The charge of the Goryeo soldiers was forcibly blocked, and no one dared to pass through such a zone where huge explosions were constantly occurring, not to mention that the soldiers in the front row who had rushed in had turned into bursts of blood mist and broken corpses.

Li Daozong's eyes stared at the scene in front of him excitedly, it was hard to imagine that such a magnificent and majestic landscape was from his own orders.

"Second platoon musketeers, ready, put! Three rows of loading ready! "The heralds are still conscientiously issuing orders that have been rehearsed hundreds of times, and at this moment, the army of the Tang people has become a real war machine, and everyone is just a screw on this huge killing machine.

A platoon of chengguan soldiers who had originally fired a round were all loading in an orderly manner, they ignored the shouts of killing in the distance, at this moment, they entrusted their lives to their teammates, which was a conditioned reflex that had been practiced thousands of times in Qinling.

Sure enough, the teammates behind them did not disappoint them, the sound of "bang, bang, bang" shooting was endless, and there were bursts of screams in the distance, as well as the "poof" sound of bullets entering the flesh, which was terrifying.

The Goryeo soldiers seemed to be frightened, and more and more corpses arrived in the black blast zone, as if it was not a battlefield, but a slaughterhouse.

At this time, what they fear is not death, but until they die, they do not know how they died.

The black earth was already covered with corpses, and the closest place to the Tang army, the number of corpses was already shocking. Rows and rows of densely packed corpses. Blood stained the black earth a dull reddish-black. It was as if this was the purgatory of the world, and those soldiers who fell, some of whom were shot to death, and some who did not die immediately, all let out a terrible cry, which made people feel cold all over their bodies.

This is not a place of mercy in the first place, and since God has allowed mankind to create muskets, there must be weak people who mourn under the muskets. At this moment, the Koreans are playing the identity of such a weakling.

The nerves of the Goryeo people began to collapse, in the face of such a terrible scene, no one must be able to keep their senses, a Goryeo soldier could not stand such a bloody stimulation, turned around and began to run away, and then like a tree falling and scattering, the Goryeo Hula who had originally rushed to the front suddenly retreated backwards.

The people on the battlefield are the most blind people, and when there is no call from the general, everyone follows everyone to act. This is why in ancient wars, people often shouted the unpopular slogan "The general is killed" among the enemy generals, and sometimes once the people's hearts were broken. That is really a complete defeat, and it is difficult to turn the tables around, which is exactly the truth of the old Chinese saying 'defeat is like a mountain'.

At this time, the Goryeo army was completely unable to organize an orderly resistance, as the old saying goes, countless people abandoned their armor and fled privately.

Li Daozong saw that the power of the gunpowder had been almost displayed, and the enemy's military spirit had been dissipated, and it was a good time to pursue, so he waved the long sword in his hand and said loudly: "Kill!" Before he could say anything, he took the lead in riding his war horse and rushing towards the fleeing Goryeo.

The soldiers of the Chengguan garrison were still loading ammunition, but they suddenly found that the main general had disappeared, and after a closer look, the main general had taken the lead in chasing the enemy on a war horse with more than a hundred cavalry, and then he reacted, and shouted and pulled out the three-edged military thorn from behind, and a few soldiers with Mo knives on their backs all roared and rushed out.

Xu Yang once commented that the Chinese army equipped with three-edged thorns and Mo knives has reached a peak in the era of cold weapons in terms of equipment, suzhì, morale and generals' ability, which is not Xu Yang's personal praise, but from the road articles published by various military scientists in later generations, indeed, in this era, in the battle of cold weapons, except for the Arabs who have the strength to stand with the Tang people, the rest of the army is indeed vulnerable in front of the Tang people.

Li Ji was very excited at this time, a round of musket shooting and grenade bombing made these Goryeo people lose the sense of resistance, and it was advisable to chase after the poor Kou, this was a good time to break the main force of Goryeo, how could he let it go.

Ordered the army to set up a 'sharp arrow array', let the Mo knife hand rush to the front, then the brave light infantry, followed by the infantry and cavalry raids, and the rear column had crossbowmen shooting on their backs, and they took more than 100 elite horsemen to sit in the army, and they had insight into the shape on the battlefield at any time.

I have to say that the attack power of the Mo knife is really terrifying, and the power of the 'like a wall' in hand-to-hand combat is not reduced when arrayed, an inch long and an inch strong, and the long Mo knife can take the lead in breaking through the enemy's body every time, making them the souls of the dead under the knife.

The Koreans fled in more and more panic, originally just throwing away their armor, but now even the flags and blades began to be thrown away, judging from their messy axles, they really didn't have any back-up hands and ambushes, just a bunch of deserters carried away by fear.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no ambush for these Goryeo people, Li Ji finally showed a heartfelt smile and ordered all the iron cavalry and light cavalry to attack and hunt down these Goryeo soldiers.

In the early battlefields of mankind, cavalry as the most powerful branch of the army is regarded as a treasure, this kind of ultra-high mobility, less affected by the terrain, the weather of the army combat arms in the plains can be said to be invincible, often a very small number of cavalry can slaughter a large wave of infantry encountered on the plains, the history of Chinese and foreign wars is also common with a small number of cavalry to contain a large number of infantry in the war.

The status of cavalry is still very important even in the era of thermal weapons, for example, in the First World War, Germany, France, and Russia all have cavalry armies, and in World War II, the Soviet Army had 17 cavalry corps and more than 80 cavalry divisions.

Now, not to mention machine guns, even the development of rifles has always been a heavy topic in Nanshan Academy, and it is estimated that the research on muskets in the world is only there to stand at the forefront of science and technology of the times.

The cavalry team in Li Ji's army attacked, and hundreds of war horses accelerated towards the crowd of people who were scattered and fled, and then the soldiers on the horse were like a harvester, waving the Tang knife in their hands, and blood was constantly splashed in the air, and every time they slashed, they would take away a fresh life.

The soldiers of the Chengguan Garrison have already shown results in the training in the depths of the Qinling Mountains at this time, they are not only proficient in muskets and artillery, but also have a good study of hand-to-hand combat, and array tactics, this time, it is when they show the hideous face of the Tang Dynasty.

The history of mankind is always accompanied by the law of the jungle, and the battlefield is the root of human beasthood, where there is no humanity, there is only the death of you, the game of the high-ranking people, and in the end it is these low-level soldiers who pay the bill.

Fighting, death, and despair, this is a complete war of annihilation on the plain, and the Tang people's chengguan brigade is like an orderly wild wolf on the grassland, with enough patience and strength to finally trap all these Goryeo sheep here, and then wipe them out.

As Xu Yang said in his later years, "The development of the empire is always inseparable from resources, the resources on this planet are limited, but the desires of people are unlimited, China, especially the Han nation, has rarely taken the initiative to invade, and the so-called 'expansion' is mostly unbearable to the harassment of 'barbarians', and it is raising troops on a large scale for the purpose of stabilizing the frontier and eliminating future troubles." This is true of Goryeo, this is true of Xue Yantuo, and even more so of the countries of the Western Regions. ”

When the smoke cleared, the land of the plain was already full of corpses, Gao Yanshou held a white flag, and slowly walked in front of Li Ji who was riding on a tall horse under the escort of a group of Tang Dynasty soldiers, and lowered his head.

Li Ji squinted at the defeated general, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile, and said to the guards beside him: "Escort back to the camp, and report to Your Majesty, this time Anshi City."

Great victory! ”…… (To be continued......)
