Chapter 1258: Defeated
PS: Corrected later, about two o'clock............................................................................................................................................................................................................... No matter what kind of attack they launch, they just can't break through the defense line of the Han army, and the defense of the Han army's infantry is a bit ridiculously high, right?
Murong Diao's face became very ugly, the plan of attacking halfway was proposed by him, and he also participated in the specific arrangement and implementation, he originally thought that he could win the battle, but under the fierce attack of the Xianbei and Goguryeo coalition forces, the Han army's infantry of only 30,000 or 40,000 people miraculously withstood such a fierce offensive.

The more the battle dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation became for the Xianbei and Goguryeo people, the rafts of the Han army shuttled back and forth on the river, and transported the Han army troops to the east bank of the Liao River again and again, the infantry of the Han army had basically completed the landing, and the next to cross the river would be the cavalry troops, and once the Han cavalry troops were put into the battlefield, the situation would soon be reversed.
"Is it because of the mud that the cavalry's attack speed can't be raised?" Murong Tuguhun seemed to see the reason for the weak attack of the Xianbei cavalry, so he said to Murong Diao.
Murong Diao suddenly realized, no wonder Xianbei and Goguryeo invested so many cavalry, but they were never able to break through the defense line of the Han infantry, it turned out to be because of the mud on the riverside, because it had just thawed, the road was relatively soft and muddy, and the Xianbei cavalry continued to trample, the entire area along the river almost became a muddy land, and when the cavalry marched, the speed was naturally greatly reduced.
The strong attack power of the cavalry comes from the speed, and the strong inertial impact is the magic weapon of the cavalry, and once it slows down, the power will be greatly reduced, coupled with the tenacious defense of the Han army, it will be much more difficult for the Xianbei cavalry to break through the defense line of the Han army.
Murong Diao patted his head with some annoyance, he really calculated a thousand things, and missed this point, no wonder the attack was weak, and this was the reason for daring.
However, after discovering the reason, Murong Diao was still at a loss, because the geographical factors on this battlefield could not change with his will, and the road became more and more muddy, and some quagmire war horses could be trapped in it.
Murong Diao hurriedly consulted with Suo Du, Suo Du was also extremely excited at first, leading his troops to rush all the way, but after the fight, he attacked again and again to no avail, which made Suo Du also discouraged a lot, at first he didn't pay attention to the problem of muddy roads, and felt that it was not a big deal to step on two feet in the mud, and now listening to Murong Diao, Suo Du also understood that the main reason for the unfavorable attack was here.
But how to solve this problem, if you fill the road, the time will definitely be too late, and now the Han army is constantly killing the river, and the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, which can allow you to build the road slowly.
In the end, Duan Qizhen proposed to use the whole army to press on the way of fighting, desperate, relying on the advantage of numbers to crush the Han army, now the situation is urgent, they are no longer allowed to attack again and again, and then they can't knock on the Han army's defense line, and when the Han cavalry kills over, it is difficult to say who will kill the deer.
Suodu immediately agreed to Duan Qizhen's suggestion, and now the advantage occupied by Goguryeo is only the advantage of numbers, instead of attacking in turns, it is better to attack with all his strength, give full play to the advantages of crowd tactics, and completely force the Han army into the river.
It was already the last attack of the Goryeo, and all the cavalry and infantry pressed up, densely packed and layered, completely covering the wilderness on the east bank of the Liao River.
However, even if the Goguryeo people were offensive, the Han army's defense line was still immovable, and the Wudang Fei Army and the Yang'an Army were two strong troops that had been fighting for a long time.
At this moment, the Goguryeo people rushed forward frantically as if they were red-eyed, and all of them threw themselves into the attack. At this moment, suddenly from the northeast, a cavalry rushed towards Goguryeo's rear team.
At this moment, all the attention of the Goguryeo people was in front, and they were not wary of the appearance of a cavalry of the Han army on the flanks and rear flanks.
Suo Du, Murong Diao, Duan Qizhen and others were all shocked when they were attacked by the Han army when the rear team was attacked, they never thought that the Han army would have a cavalry that bypassed Liaoshui and went around their backs to attack.
With the arrival of the Tiger Cavalry, the Han army immediately launched a full-scale counterattack.
At this time, most of the White Tiger Army had completed the crossing of the river and was assembling on the east bank, and some of the Xuanwu Army had crossed the Liaoshui, and most of them were crossing the river. The attack of the Tiger Cavalry was the signal of the general offensive, and the Han army no longer needed to wait for the Xuanwu Army to complete the crossing, and the existing forces were enough to launch the offensive.
With the actions of the Tiger Cavalry Army and the White Tiger Army on both sides of the east and west, the Wudang Fei Army, the Yang'an Army, and the Hubu Army also launched a counterattack on the whole line.
The two sides fought each other in short quarters, and the killing was dark.
The Goguryeo people were overwhelmed by the enemy, and their formation was thrown into disarray, and they were soon unable to resist the enemy, and many began to flee from the battlefield.
In terms of bravery, Goguryeo is not at all inferior to the Xiongnu Xianbei people, but like the Xiongnu Xianbei people, they are also good at fighting with the wind, once they are smooth, they will fight crazy, invincible, but in adversity, it is the easiest to collapse, after an escape, it will soon cause a team of people to flee, and later, it is the whole team to escape, and flee for their lives.
Suo Du couldn't help but be furious, although the Goguryeo army was attacked by the Han army, but at this time it was too early to talk about victory or defeat, as long as the Goguryeo army was intact and could maintain sufficient combat effectiveness, it may not be impossible to fight with the Han army to the end.
But at this moment, the Goguryeo people were defeated in a battle, and Suodu wanted to fight a decisive battle, but no one cooperated with him, seeing that there were more and more deserters, and Suodu was about to become the commander of the light pole.
