Chapter 2: The Tiger Chick (5 I)

The next day, as soon as the army approached the Nameless Valley, they saw their scouts hurrying back. Li Mengwei, who commanded the scouts, was a veteran left of the 300 dead soldiers who went to Bo Shan Village to relieve the siege last year, and he was very experienced and courageous. Even so, he has nothing to do with the rookies under his command who have never fought.

"Enemy troops, find enemy troops!" The scouts galloped and shouted hoarsely, lest the Lord would not hear their warnings.

"Mother, what can I do?" Among the large number of people, there were cowardly people who grinned and shouted. Although everyone knew in their hearts that this mission was definitely not as simple as setting fire to and demolishing the house, they suddenly heard the news of the encounter with the enemy army, and they couldn't help but feel weak.

"What to do, ask for more blessings!" Someone shouted while looking in the direction of the Chinese army. Xiongwu Lang General Li is a ruthless character who kills people without piercing his eyes, and before he takes the lead in escaping, no one dares to escape. But if everyone really uses knives to fight the enemy, no one is willing.

"Oops, oops, belly, my belly! I didn't eat well in the morning!" There are squatting on the ground to make Xizi holding the heart.

"My feet,, who stepped on my feet......"

The Devils shouted in a panic, trying to put pressure on the Lord General to give up the idea of continuing eastward. To their disappointment, this situation had long been expected by several leading generals. Therefore, there was no need for Li Xu to order, and the captain Zhang Xiu rushed into the crowd with more than 100 personal soldiers. "What yelling! Where is the momentum of the stove fire yesterday. Are you all the ones who will bully and bully orphans and widows at your doorstep? ”

Zhang Xiu and the others whipped with whips, scolding and whipping, making the Xiaoguo red-faced. Basically no one who came to Liaodong to recruit Xiaoguo was from a good family, and almost casually pulled out a "hard" character who was rampant in the township before joining the army. These people love face and are righteous, and they are usually most afraid that people will say that they are a wreck, but they are scolded by Zhang Xiu at the moment, although they are afraid in their hearts, they are their mouths.

"Who is afraid, don't we eat dry food in the morning and eat cold!"

"Isn't it just a few Goguryeo people, let's kill one and kill one, and come to two......" Someone pulled out a horizontal knife and shook it to give himself courage.

The generals and colonels at all levels did not listen to their bluffs, and readjusted their formations in accordance with the orders from the Chinese army. The scattered soldiers and horses lined up in a queue according to the requirements of training, with the strong ones in front and the yellow muscles in the back. The left and right flanks released light cavalry to guard, and the team was supervised by the bow of the warlord at the end.

When the whole battalion settled down, the opinions of several core generals were almost exchanged. The Goguryeo people occupied the valley and apparently fought to cut off the idea of the return route of the Eastern Expeditionary Army. The valley was a narrow terrain sandwiched between two cliffs and a large river, and the only way for the army to pass through was a sandy beach less than five feet wide on each side of the river. At present, the Goguryeo people are heavily blocking the road at the bottom of the valley, and the Xiongwu Xiaoguo battalion has no choice but to forcibly attack and seize the valley.

"Zhao Changshi led the auxiliary soldiers to camp on the spot, and the civilian staff stayed behind, and the rest of the soldiers came with me and lined up at a distance of five hundred steps from the enemy!" Li Xu waved the command flag and shouted loudly. The first time he commanded tens of thousands of people to fight, he was so nervous that he beat the drums. But there are so many pairs of eyes staring around, and I have to pretend to be calm.

Under his order, the Xiongwu Xiaoguo Battalion was automatically divided into two parts. The marching commander Shi Zhao Ziming commanded more than 2,000 auxiliary soldiers to stay in place under the envious gaze of everyone, cutting down trees and building camps. The remaining 9,000 soldiers marched in formation, slowly approaching the Valley of Death.

The enemy troops who occupied the valley were obviously also in a hurry, and the hastily set up the deer and horses had not yet been completed. The crooked wooden fence was basked by the late summer sun, and the strong smell of pine oil was carried half a mile away against the wind. When the valley appeared in Li Xu's sight, the Goguryeo people hiding behind the fence also noticed the approach of the Sui army and immediately sounded the battle horn.

"You take five regiments to take the lead, first test the enemy's combat effectiveness, don't be busy making meritorious contributions!" Li Xu grabbed the arrow from the arms of his own soldiers and handed it to Li Anyuan. Although the Xiongwu Xiaoguo battalion had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, the valley in front of it could not accommodate so many people to fight. Moreover, these more than 10,000 Xiaoguo have only undergone less than two months of training, and if it is a one-on-one fight, most of them are sure of victory. And competing for dominance is not as simple as slapping bricks on people's heads on the street.

Li Anyuan grinned and took the general order with a wry smile. He, Murong Luo, and Li Mengwei are all regarded as the descendants of Li Xu, and at this time, the descendants will work for the master without discussion. Fifteen hundred pale Xiaoguo were quickly pulled out of the group by him, and everyone held their shields, bowed their bodies, and moved towards the valley little by little.

Two hundred paces away, sporadic feathered arrows shot out of the Goguryeo camp. At such a distance, feather arrows could not pose a deadly threat at all. Seeing this scene, the forward of the Xiaoguo Battalion, whose calves and stomachs began to tremble, became more and more courageous, and shouted to speed up the pace of progress.

The Goguryeo counterattack was decisive. As the men approached within fifty paces of the wooden fence, several groups of heavy infantry rushed out of the enemy line. As soon as the two sides fought, the Xiaoguo retreated with much cleaner movements than when they attacked, and more than forty corpses were left in front of the enemy by them, and when they retreated in a hurry, nearly a hundred people were wounded by the feathered arrows flying behind them.

"The opponent's combat effectiveness is not strong, and there are many people who are novices!" Li Anyuan took off his helmet and reported to the chief general and the supervisor in a curtive manner. Li Xu's order just now left him plenty of leeway, so he would not be held accountable by military law for a small setback.

"Their defensive focus is not on our side!" Yu Wenshi frowned and analyzed in a low voice. He didn't expect the Xiaoguo Battalion to defeat the roadblockers like a bamboo, judging from the performance of the enemy and us just now, I am afraid that in a short period of time, it will be difficult for the Xiaoguo Battalion to achieve any results.

"Why don't we find someone to try to climb to the cliff?" Zhang Xiu looked at the cliffs on both sides of the valley and asked tentatively.

"That's useless, there aren't enough rocks on the cliffs. The feather arrows have lost their strength when they come down from above!" Yu Wenshi shook his head and rejected Zhang Xiu's suggestion.

The valley in front of me is very long, and the cliffs on both sides of the valley are as steep as knives, and it is useless to occupy the top of the two walls unless the entire stone wall can be torn down. Therefore, the soldiers and horses of the Goguryeo people also gathered at the bottom of the valley and took advantage of the narrow terrain to resist the attack of the Sui army. There were 300,000 Sui troops who were about to retreat from Maqishui and pass through here, and the Sui troops who went to meet them were no more than 20,000 or 30,000 in the eyes of the Goguryeo generals, and they naturally had to focus their defense on the other side of the valley.

No matter where the opponent's defense is focused, the heroic battalion must attack. The second wave of attacks was quickly organized, and five regiments of Xiaoguo, led by another lieutenant, braved the rain of arrows to approach the valley again. After about a quarter of an hour of fighting, the Snappers disengaged from the enemy again.

The physical fitness of the Xiaoguo of the Great Sui Dynasty was much higher than that of the enemy army, but the proficiency and morale of each other's cooperation were far inferior to each other. The Goguryeo people guarding Gukou were relatively skilled, and their will to win was higher than that of the Sui army, but there was a big gap between their stature and the equipment in their hands compared with the Xiaoguo. Therefore, the casualties of both sides in the two battles were not large, and the attitude and fear of the other side gradually began to decrease.

Li Meng was angry, and took the initiative to ask Ying to lead a regiment of veterans and four regiments of Xiaoguo to attack the front of the valley again. After a rain of arrows, the Goguryeo people, who had already learned something about the combat effectiveness of the Sui army after two contacts, rushed out with a shout. Both sides fought together on the river beach on the northwest side, both trying to teach each other a hard lesson. The battle lasted nearly half an hour, and Li Mengwei successfully defeated the enemy's counterattack with the veterans in his hands, but the remaining four regiments could not grasp the fleeting opportunity, and when Li Mengwei organized the brothers who were carried away by the victory to pounce on the wooden fence, the Goguryeo guards in the valley had calmly adjusted their deployment.

Thousands of Goguryeo spearmen crouched behind the wooden fence and blocked the entire valley mouth into a large hedgehog. Behind the wall of the Rulin spear, more than a thousand archers spread their eyes on the Great Sui Xiaoguo without any aim. The brothers of the Xiaoguo Battalion who collided with it retreated back to their base like waves of rocks, and in the process of retreating, more than 200 robes were injured by the sudden random arrows.

Xuzi's face turned a little red, he knew that the Xiaoguo under his command lacked training, but he didn't expect the brothers' combat effectiveness to be so poor. From his point of view, the feathered arrows shot by the Goguryeo people were far and near, and the rhythm was chaotic, not at all like the performance of a regular soldier and horse. But this irregular Goguryeo army is still much more regular than the Xiaoguo battalion under his command!

The fourth and fifth assaults have not progressed. The narrow terrain limited the combat effectiveness of both sides. The Xiaoguo battalion had horses and lances, but it could not organize a cavalry assault. The Goguryeo people succeeded in counterattacking, but they could not take advantage of the victory to expand the victory.

With the passage of time, Yu Wenshi gradually lost patience, his father was the commander of the 300,000 Eastern Expeditionary Army, and if he could not capture this mountain pass, he could not guarantee the safe retreat of the 300,000 Eastern Expeditionary Army. After a brief consultation between an inexperienced commander and a distraught overseer, they came up with a strategy that was not at all clever. The two of them recruited a death regiment of about 500 people in the camp with a lot of money, and rushed to the valley with Yu Wenshi and himself.

Although Yu Wenshi and his status are noble, his martial arts are no worse than any general from the army. Under the protection of five dead soldiers of the Yuwen family, he braved the rain of arrows and successfully broke through to the camp of the Goguryeo people. The large shield in his left hand slammed into the spear that stretched out in front of him, and then the horizontal knife of his right hand slashed into the crowd of Goguryeo.

"Follow me and kill them all!" The Scholar shouted, his boots stepping over the wooden fence.

"Kill them all, kill them all!" Countless Goguryeo people shouted and poured up, trapping the Horse Governor and the first wave of Great Sui soldiers to break through the camp in the center.
