After learning that Goguryeo reinforcements were approaching, Luo Shixin immediately found Zhang Shigui. ∈ ↗ top novel,

"Boss!" Zhang Shigui walked on the muddy road after the rain to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Luo Shixin was not polite, and said directly: "Goguryeo's reinforcements are about to arrive in Jian'an, and I decided to personally lead the troops and horses to meet them." After I leave, it will be up to you to stay in Liaodong City, and you will be fully responsible for all affairs, big and small. ”

Zhang Shigui was a little anxious, these major managers each had their own tasks, and they all made a lot of achievements, but they were itching to see it, and asked for orders: "The reinforcements are just a few pieces, where do you need the big manager to go out in person." It will be handed over to the last general, and the last will be guaranteed by the head of the item, guaranteeing that none of them will be able to enter Jian'an City. ”

"I believe this!" Luo Shixin said without hesitation, Zhang Shigui's courage and good fighting are also famous, as long as he is given enough soldiers and horses for him to let go, there is no reason to lose, but he still refused, and said with a smile: "This battle is not as simple as winning it, not only to win, but also to lure out the Hu Xiegu in Jian'an City." With the weight of Hu Slope Valley, I am afraid that only if I go out in person can it work. ”

Zhang Shigui is also a broad person, and when he saw that it could not be changed, he said: "In this case, the chief manager can rest assured that the general will ensure that Liaodong City will be regarded as dead and will not let them threaten the new city." ”

"With your words, I'm relieved!" Luo Shixin said: "We have done so many things, in the final analysis, to attack this Liaodong City in front of us. This Liaodong City is in front of him, and Manager Zhang is afraid that there will be no merit? ”

Zhang Shigui's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized that he retreated happily.

Luo Shixin transferred 8,000 from the army. He also asked Li Daozong, who occupied the new city, to lead 10,000 soldiers to come, and Su Dingfang also transferred 2,000 soldiers and horses to make up 20,000 soldiers.

Think of Yang Guang's extravagance. Thinking about the current constraints, there are 10,000 "grass and mud horses" in Roth's faith......

He brought with him an army of 100,000. But with a few divisions, the strength became a little tight.

Because of strategic needs, 35,000 soldiers and horses asked him to arrange to take the waterway to attack Beisha City, attack Xincheng and Jian'an City and divide 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers besieging Liaodong were only 35,000.

This is also an important reason why the Tang army surrounded but did not fight, and it was also because of the lack of troops, and it did not capture the new city of Jiaojiao and Jian'an on the left and right flanks of Liaodong. If you want to take Liaodong, it is equivalent to a fool's dream.

Just as Luo Shixin said first, attacking Goguryeo is like pulling out nails, pulling out nails one by one, Goguryeo will fall apart, and if the nails can't be pulled out, they just want to beat them down.

In the current situation, Liaodong can fight later, but Jian'an City must be taken. Similarly, Goguryeo reinforcements should not be allowed to enter Jian'an City, and if 35,000 Goguryeo reinforcements were allowed to enter Jian'an, it would mean that Goguryeo's strength on the defending side was equal to that of the Tang army's attackers. The besieging side was already at a loss, and the forces were equal. Not to mention victory.

Anyway, the Goguryeo reinforcements that will support it in the future must be defeated!

This time, Luo Shixin personally went out and drew soldiers from various armies, making up 20,000 troops. Resisted the way of Goguryeo reinforcements.

Goguryeo had 35,000 reinforcements, while the Tang army was 20,000 soldiers and horses. There is a huge gap in the number of troops.

The victory or defeat of this battle is directly related to the success or failure of the Tang Army's expedition. It is also particularly important.

Li Daozong saw that Luo Shixin had brought them to the east of Jian'an City, an unknown important place that could intercept Goguryeo reinforcements from traveling with Jian'an City, so he let them camp and rest, and there was no more. I didn't discuss tactics or anything, I was in a bit of a hurry, and I found it myself.

"Grand Governor, according to the news from the front, Goguryeo's reinforcements are still two days away. This battle is very important, how we should fight, please show the general manager! ”

"To be exact, there is still a day and a half ......," Luo Shixin said with a smile, he knew the enemy army better than Li Daozong: "Goguryeo's reinforcements have already learned the news of the fall of Xincheng, and I have also spread false news, saying that Yuan Binzhi heard that his grandson was killed in battle, and he fainted with grief. When the Goguryeo reinforcements learned about it, they had already accelerated their march and would be half a day faster than you expected. So all we have to do now is rest, we don't have to do anything, just wait for them to come to the door. ”

Li Daozong was stunned at first, then realized, and said: "The chief manager is smart, it turns out that everything is under the control of the chief manager, and the last general is confused, here is a blind worry." The last general is willing to be the vanguard and help the general break the enemy. ”

"Go and go!" Luo Shixin said unceremoniously: "If you beat me, come and grab a position for me, but you can't beat the left and right wings and choose by yourself." "This coach deserves it, he hasn't charged for a long time, and he has won a lot of battles along the way, but he doesn't have the part to go into battle personally. finally waited for this opportunity, and whoever grabbed him was in a hurry.

Li Daozong said gloomily: "Then I want the left wing." "Competing with Luo Shixin, isn't this a mayfly shaking a tree?

"Okay!" Luo Shixin saw that Li Daozong had chosen the most critical left-wing army in addition to the front, and he secretly admired in his heart: Li Daozong deserved to be Li Daozong, and he had really seen through his tactics.

Luo Shixin's scouts kept sending news of Goguryeo reinforcements to Luo Shixin, and knew the speed of their march well.

It wasn't until Goguryeo was still twenty miles away from them that Luo Shixin got the news that the entire Goguryeo army was slowing down.

As soon as this news reached Luo Shixin, Luo Shixin did not hesitate for a moment, beat the drum and gathered the generals, and divided the 30,000 soldiers and horses into three routes: Li Daozong led 5,000 soldiers and horses as the left wing, Guo Yi Commander Ma Wenju led 5,000 soldiers and horses as the right wing, and the rest were the middle army, and marched quickly in the direction of Goguryeo with him.

The 20,000 army moved in unison and came to Goguryeo's reinforcements in one go.

At this time, it is noon, and the sun is shining!

On the first sunny day after the heavy rain, the sun was unusually bright, and on the other side of the horizon, Goguryeo had already received news from the Tang army, and they chose to line up in a wide field, intending to maximize their large number of troops. The 35,000-strong army was lined up in a neat phalanx, and the bright spears glittered in the sunlight, and the momentum was magnificent.

Luo Shixin looked at the Goguryeo reinforcements who were waiting in front of him, and without saying a word, he still let the soldiers let the front approach until the distance of one mile.

Luo Shixin directly made people look at the charging war drums, he didn't say any tactics or how to play, but shouted in the crowd: "A group of unsightly miscellaneous people are coming, and the soldiers follow me to crush them......"

As soon as these words fell, he had already led the 10,000 people of the Chinese army to rush over from the front, as brainless as a reckless man.

The reinforcement resistance battle kicked off with such an unexpected and somewhat eager.

The first part of Luo Shixin was divided into two groups, one was the 3,000 cavalry led by him personally, and behind the 3,000 cavalry was the 7,000 Tang Army infantry temporarily led by Mo Hu'er.

In the face of Luo Shixin's surprise attack, the center and rear of the Goguryeo army changed, and thousands of archers moved to the front, and they quickly bent their bows and arrows, and when Luo Shixin rushed into the land of an arrow, they released the bowstring......

The Goguryeo people are good at archery, because the place where they are located is close to the mountains and rivers, and they belong to the semi-fishing and hunting people, and the bow and arrow are their strength, and even the steppe people are inferior to them in archery.

The dense arrow feathers pressed towards Luo Shixin like a dark cloud, dense and powerful.

For the bow attack, Luo Shixin already had a way to deal with it, hanging the cloak on the spear, turning violently, and the huge cloak seemed to form a wall of qi under his dance, blocking all the arrows within the zhangyu. Not only did he protect himself, but the soldiers beside him were also protected. However, in his hand, the soldiers who protect him are in the minority after all.

Enemies outside the range of the cloak were still strafed by the arrows.

Some of the hundred Tang cavalry who rushed to the front were hit by several arrows in an instant, and some fell off their horses without even saying a word.

The quality of the Tang army was also clear at this moment, the soldiers who were hit by the arrows did not slow down, but held the reins in one hand and raised their arms high, protected the face door with the iron bracers on their arms, habitually held the weapon in their mouths, and reached out to tear off the arrow feathers inserted in their bodies, and they did not slow down in the process. Those who were not hit by the arrows were even more cheerful when they screamed: because they knew that they were lucky that this wave of arrows did not hit them, and the next wave might not have this luck. And the best way to dodge the arrow feathers is not to escape, but to get close! Therefore, we do not flinch and strive to be the first.

In the face of such a desperate charge of the Tang army, the archer battalion of Goguryeo did not even have time to shoot the second wave of arrows, and Luo Shixin had already taken the first step against their dense gun array.

The spear formation, which is as steady as Mount Tai, is a great threat to the cavalry that assaults at full speed!

Luo Shixin knew this very well, and when the cavalry of the Tang Army approached a hundred paces, he jumped out alone.

Under Luo Shixin's unintentional training, the explosive power was particularly terrifying, and the interval of a hundred steps was in the blink of an eye, and the spear slammed forward, and the cloak tied to the head of the spear rolled up more than a dozen spears in front of his horse, and the tip of the spear was raised, and more than a dozen spears came out of his hand and rushed to the sky.

Without the blocking of the tip of the gun, Luo Shixin did not hesitate for a moment to cut into the enemy formation, he did not forcibly tear a hole in the enemy formation as before, but rushed left and right in front of him, and made a mess of the spear formation in the front row.

The cavalry that followed him on his charge saw that the spear formation was disturbing Luo Shixin, and it was not enough to pose a threat to them, so they were greatly encouraged, and accelerated the intensity of the charge, and after a few breaths, the Tang cavalry fiercely wedged into the Goguryeo gun array.

Weak!

This was the only feeling that the reinforcements from Goguryeo gave Luo Shixin in the first encounter.

Is Goguryeo really weak?

Not really!

Luo Shixin's tactics without tactics are precisely the best tactics......

directly reduced Goguryeo's combat effectiveness by half...... (To be continued......)
