Chapter 520: Huishi'an City (II)

Yan Eighteen is a very arrogant character, of course, he also has the capital that he can be proud of, a general who is less than thirty years old, and the only one in the Tang Dynasty, although there is an element of relying on Li Zhen to carry it, but it is also an indisputable fact that he himself has experienced a hundred battles, at least so far, Yan Eighteen has never tasted what it is like to lose a battle, not to mention that his martial arts are also Chu Qiao's generation in the Tang Army, which is full of famous generals, and he does not take the Goguryeo army on the opposite side to heart. It's just that Yan 18 was not arrogant enough to launch a fierce attack regardless of the fatigue of his long-distance attack, on the contrary, as soon as the two sides faced each other, Yan 18 gave an interesting order - the whole army dismounted.

Yan 18 under the Tang Army Iron Cavalry is not the Beijing Division South Ya Army, but Youzhou Cavalry, this army is stationed at the border all the year round, when Xue Yantuo has not been destroyed, this iron cavalry is not less friction with Xue Yantuo cavalry, not only participated in the first two battles of Goguryeo, but also was one of the main forces to destroy Xue Yantuo Khanate, its combat effectiveness is stronger than the Beijing Division South Ya Army, is compared with the Anxi Iron Cavalry, it is not necessarily worse, at this time I heard Yan 18 order, the whole army did not have any questions, Turning over and dismounting neatly, each leading his horse and standing, silently staring at the Goguryeo army formation more than 300 paces ahead, a solemn and murderous aura lingered over the battlefield.

Seeing that the Tang army not only did not launch a surprise attack, but all dismounted, when the Goguryeo army in the Dao array was neutral, there was some commotion, and the vast majority of officers and soldiers did not understand the intention of the Tang army's move.

Others don't know what the intentions of the Tang army are, but Yang Qianwu understands it a little - the Tang army is rushing all the way, the horsepower is tired early, and it is not durable to fight, and it is refreshing to launch an attack in one go, but once it is impossible to break through the Goguryeo army formation, it is bound to be in trouble because of the weakness of the war horses. I am not afraid that the Goguryeo army will take the opportunity to escape.

Seeing clearly, Yang Qianwu had no way to take the Tang Army - Yang Qianwu only wanted to block the Tang Army, and the discharge was a turtle formation, and all the cavalry were listed behind the formation, although he could send cavalry to attack the Tang Army through the change of formation, but he was afraid that the temporary change of formation would lead to the instability of the entire formation, and once it was used by the Tang Army, there was inevitably the danger of total collapse, so although Yang Qianwu wanted to lead the cavalry forward to do the Tang Army, but at the end he still resisted his impulse, and shouted to his generals to restrain the army, Stay in shape.

The reason why Yan 18 ordered the whole army to dismount before the battle was not only to raise horsepower, but also to test the reaction of the Goguryeo army, to see if Yang Qianwu would change the formation and attack, once Yang Qianwu really moved, then Yan 18 could take advantage of his own cavalry, seize the omission of the Goguryeo army's formation to launch a fierce attack, so as to defeat his troops in one fell swoop, but unfortunately Yang Qianwu did not act rashly, after waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, Yan 18 estimated that Yang Qianwu would not move at all, so he was too lazy to wait. He shrugged his shoulders indifferently and sent someone to call Liu Dahai, the captain of Battalion A.

Liu Dahai is the younger brother of Liu Tietao, a fierce general who died in the city of Anshi, although he is far less fierce than his brother, but his martial arts are also quite good, when Cheng Mingzhen passed through Liaodong before, Liu Dahai, who wanted to avenge his brother's blood feud, had many activities, wanted to be transferred to Cheng Mingzhen's men, and killed some Goguryeo dog thieves, but unfortunately Li Daliang was reluctant to let go, so he did not make the trip. As soon as he heard that the herald came to summon him, he hurried to rush to the Chinese army, and when he saw Yan Eighteen's face, he immediately rolled the saddle and dismounted, and bowed his hand and said: "The last general Liu Dahai will see General Yan." ”

"Hmm." Yan Eighteen raised his hand to signal Liu Dahai to be exempt, and said with a smile: "Brother Er is an old acquaintance, Brother Er is the head of the city, a deep regret, Er is a general in a certain army, and a certain self should take care of one or two, and now there are all kinds of little dogs in charge, if you want to block the road of my army, can you dare to be a pioneer?" ”

"The last general swears to the death of the thief, please give the order of the general!" When Liu Dahai heard that Yan Shibai had made him a pioneer, he was overjoyed, bowed down, and replied impassionedly.

Yan 18 nodded, and calmly ordered: "Okay, this general Linger led his troops and horses to attack, there is no need to rush straight, use cavalry to attack and disturb the enemy's two wings, be sure to disrupt the enemy formation, this general will be in the formation for Er, go." ”

"Yes, the last general obeys!" Liu Dahai originally thought that Yan 18 would order him to lead his troops to charge the battle, but when he heard that he was harassing the enemy with cavalry shooting, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to disobey Yan 18's general order, and after answering, he rode back to his own formation, and with an order, a thousand Tang cavalry turned over and slowly pressed forward towards the Goguryeo army formation.

"Archer prepare!" As soon as he saw that the Tang army had finally set out, Yang Qianwu did not dare to slack off, and issued an order to prepare for battle at the top of his throat, and suddenly the horns sounded in unison, and more than 1,500 archers lined up in front of the Goguryeo army were holding their bows and arrows, aiming at the direction where the Tang army was coming, and ready to greet the Tang cavalry who dared to charge the battle with a rain of arrows.

Although the cavalry of the Tang Army is also a strong bow, but in terms of range, it is not as good as the crossbow and bow used by the infantry, if the cavalry and the infantry in a lined up position to shoot, it will be a defeat, even if it is not an elite Goguryeo infantry, it is difficult to say that it can gain the upper hand, this point Liu Dahai, who has been in battle for a long time, naturally knows it, and found that the Goguryeo archers are ready to release arrows in the gallop, and can't help sneering, gesticulating a gesture, pulling the horse's head, and turning sharply to the right side of the battlefield, The 1,000 cavalry that followed behind also made the same move, but seeing a light turn of the Tang cavalry that was originally lined up in front, the whole team drew a wonderful arc in the center of the battlefield and rushed to the right flank of the battlefield with a hula la.

The road from Hengshan City to Anshi City is a flat place, the only exception is Luerling, but Luerling is just a small hill, the slope is gentle, there is not much precipitous, in addition to some shrubs, there are not many big trees, the avenue is directly over Luerling, the Goguryeo army is also lined up by the mountain, the cavalry is located on the ridge, the infantry is at the foot of the mountain, the road is choked, in order to prevent the surprise attack of the cavalry of the Tang Army, the formation arranged is a thick middle, thin arc on both sides, it is extremely difficult to break through from the middle, But the defense of the two wings was much weaker, even the archers were not arranged much, at this time the Tang cavalry changed direction like this, and the vast majority of the archers in the Goguryeo army immediately lost the target of the attack, and most of them stood on the spot at a loss, not knowing how to deal with it.

It was too late, it was fast, and Liu Dahai, who galloped to the right flank of the battlefield, saw that the Goguryeo army was slow to react, so he was not polite, and shouted: "Release the arrow!" Before the words fell, he himself took the lead in holding his bow and arrows, aiming at an officer who looked like a hundred Goguryeo households was greeted with an arrow, but seeing the feather arrow cut through the space like a meteor, the Goguryeo officer was shot through the heart in an instant, and the Tang officers and soldiers who followed Liu Dahai at a gallop were not far behind, each aimed at the target, and the arrows flew together, and the Goguryeo officers and soldiers who were caught off guard were killed and wounded, and the right wing of the entire Goguryeo army formation was in a big chaos.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" Yang Qianwu, who was pressing the formation, saw that the Tang cavalry attacked his weak right flank, and he was anxious and roared loudly, and the Goguryeo archers who were originally standing suddenly shot out the long-standing feather arrows as if they had just woken up from a dream, but it was a pity that the Tang cavalry had already run away at this time, and most of the more than a thousand feather arrows fell into the air.

The galloping Tang cavalry did not take the opportunity to impact the chaotic Goguryeo right flank, but turned their horses' heads one after another, drew an arc again, opened the distance from the Goguryeo army formation, rushed through the center of the battlefield, and ran towards the left wing of the Goguryeo army along the tangent, and the same rain of arrows beckoned the past, and the left wing of the Goguryeo army was also ransacked, and then the war horse galloped, constantly circling in circles, and gradually squeezed the Goguryeo army on both wings to the middle. However, they were never able to grasp the mobile and flexible Tang cavalry, and their gains were extremely limited, and the originally neat arc formation was disrupted.

"The cavalry attacked, and the general killed the thief!" As soon as Yang Qianwu saw that his arc formation had been made a mess by the Tang army's rogue fighting style, and knew that he could no longer resist the surprise attack of the Tang army's cavalry with his formation, he was angry and anxious in his heart, and he didn't think much about it, so he took off the long horse lance on the victory hook, roared, and led his 1,000 cavalry to bypass the chaotic infantry formation, killed from the right flank of the battlefield, and rushed straight to Liu Dahai's department, which was turning around.

Yang Qianwu is worthy of being a fierce general on the battlefield, although this attack is a last resort, but the timing is extremely well grasped, it happened to pinch Liu Dahai's department when it was making a sharp turn, plus Yang Qianwu's department is descending according to the mountain, its speed is extremely fast, it can completely catch Liu Dahai off guard, but it is a pity that Yan Shiba, who has long been paying attention to the dynamics of the battlefield, could not give Yang Qianwu the opportunity to defeat Liu Dahai while in chaos.

"Order: Battalions B, C, and Kwai immediately attacked, killed through the enemy's formation, ignored the remnants of the enemy, and pursued the enemy's main force forward; The battalion followed the general and routed the enemy cavalry; Inform General Cheng that the remnants of the enemy here will be cleaned up by General Cheng and attacked! As soon as he saw the chaos of the Goguryeo army, a series of orders were immediately issued, and in an instant, the Tang cavalry, which was originally neatly on standby, immediately launched with the order, and the troops were divided into two ways to cover the Goguryeo army, and at the same time, the cavalry of Cheng Mingzhen's department, which was standing behind the Yan Eighteen Divisions, also began to slowly press forward.

"Kill the thief!" Yang Qianwu, who was galloping wildly, stared at Liu Dahai, who was moving sideways on the horse, and desperately beat the horse to charge, and the killing was coming, trying to catch Liu Dahai by surprise.

"Damn! The whole army turns, meets the enemy, meets the enemy! Liu Dahai was shooting arrows to kill the Goguryeo infantry in a mess, he didn't expect Yang Qianwu to come so quickly, he couldn't help but panic, hurriedly dropped the bow and arrow in his hand, and quickly took off the long horse lance from the victory hook, while kicking the horse's belly with his feet, desperately turning the horse's head, preparing to meet the Goguryeo cavalry who rushed to kill, how could the Tang army not be ready to meet the enemy cavalry at this time, seeing that it was about to be defeated by the Goguryeo cavalry, but heard a loud roar suddenly coming from behind: "Dodge, Yan Eighteen is coming!" ”

As soon as Liu Dahai's department, which was in a panic, heard Yan Eighteen's roar, he would no longer be stubborn to meet Yang Qianwu's department, and they all turned their horses' heads and scattered to both sides, revealing Yan Eighteen who was rushing towards him.

"Kill!"

"Look at the guns!"

Yan Eighteen saw Yang Qianwu who was rushing towards the flying horse at a glance, and at the same time Yang Qianwu also saw the majestic Yan Eighteen, the two of them coincidentally started the idea of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, and each put their horses to hedge against each other, and when they got close, they roared almost at the same time, and each shot and stabbed, the difference is that Yan Eighteen spears are as fast as lightning, and they have stabbed Yang Qianwu's chest as soon as they shot, so shocked that Yang Qianwu couldn't care about snatching the thorns again, and in a panic, he turned the gun horizontal, ** and picked it up, trying to pick the tip of Yan Eighteen's gun, But I didn't expect that the shot that seemed to have done his best suddenly paused, from extremely fast to extremely slow, Yang Qianwu's pick immediately picked up the empty place, ** too strong, his hands were raised high, and the gap in his chest was exposed.

"Die!" How could Yan Eighteen let go of such an excellent fighter, roared, his wrist shook with all his strength, and the original spear that had been used suddenly came to life, like a spiritual snake, and pierced Yang Qianwu's chest with a "poof", and then slammed it, Yang Qianwu's body flew out like a rag, and the Goguryeo cavalry that followed Yang Qianwu saw that Yang Qianwu had died under Yan Eighteen's gun, and it was a big mess, some wanted to escape, and some wanted to rush up and fight with Yan Eighteen, The originally neat cavalry queue turned into a pot of porridge when it landed.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Yan Eighteen was willing to let go of such a great opportunity to defeat the Goguryeo cavalry, and he accelerated his horse and went straight into the chaos of the army, the spear in his hand was like flying, and he killed several people in an instant, and he was unstoppable! Seeing that Yan Eighteen was so brave, the Tang cavalry who followed Yan Eighteen to attack was greatly boosted, and they also rushed forward with a shout, how could the Goguryeo cavalry, which was originally at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, be able to withstand the wolf-like attack of the Tang army, but it was just a charge, and it was already crushed.

"Don't worry about the chaos, and charge with the general!" Yan 18 didn't pay attention to the scattered rebels at all, roared, and rushed towards the right flank of the Goguryeo infantry formation, which had already been chaotic, and at this time, the other three battalions of cavalry of the Tang Army, which had already launched a charge, had also been killed in the middle of the Goguryeo infantry formation.

"This Yan Eighteen, hehe." Cheng Mingzhen, who was originally in the rear of the formation, saw that Yan 18 defeated the Goguryeo army with a charge, and then led his troops to run away, leaving only a mess for himself to clean up, and couldn't help laughing and scolding, but he didn't say anything more, and commanded his five thousand iron cavalry to launch a clean-up operation on the spot, gathering the rout army that was running around......

"Quick, speed up, there is Anshi City ahead!" Leaving Yang Qianwu to break Cheng Dawu ran all the way, not caring about the officers and soldiers who had fallen behind, desperately fleeing to Anshi City, he didn't believe that Yang Qianwu's ability to block the pursuit of the Tang Army, in his opinion, it was great to be able to delay the pursuit of the Tang Army a little, how dare he delay any longer, drive his officers and soldiers to run forward with the strength to eat, until he saw the head of Anshi City from a distance, Cheng Dawu finally breathed a sigh of relief, stopped on the side of the road, and first sent rangers to Tongyu Gao and Yang's two bosses, asked to send troops to answer, and was desperately cheering up the troops under his command in the frenzy, and when he was busy, he heard a guard beside him shouting: "General Cheng, look! ”

"Hiss......" Cheng Dawu raised his head and looked at the gesture of the guard's book, and immediately saw the smoke and dust billowing up on the road, and he gasped when he landed - Cheng Dawu knew very well that Yang Qianwu could not defeat the Tang army, whether it was his own army or the Tang army that came at this time, it was not good news for his own side who was eager to flee for his life, although it was only a short five-mile road away from the city at this time, but it was impossible for the whole army to escape back to the city before the Tang army caught up, and the only hope was to stick to this place and wait for the arrival of reinforcements in the city, Otherwise, it can only be the end of being driven by the Tang Army to herd sheep.

"Tang Jun is here, run away!"

"Oh no, it's the Tang Army here!"

"Let's go!"

……

At the moment when Cheng Dawu was stunned, the sharp-eyed soldiers had already noticed that something was wrong behind him, and he didn't know who took the lead in shouting first, but all the people in the army shouted in chaos, and everyone was panicked.

Seeing that the hearts of his subordinates were fluctuating, and everyone was eager to flee for their lives, Cheng Dawu was angry and anxious in his heart, pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist, brandished it and roared: "Array, array, those who dare to move will be killed!" ”

Cheng Dawu shouted very loudly, how could the book house be in turmoil at this time, how could anyone listen to his greetings, a group of officers and soldiers still buried their heads and fled wildly, so angry that Cheng Dawu waved his knife and killed several deserters, but still could not curb the rout of the whole army, in desperation, he had to be attacked by the chaotic soldiers and fled to Anshi City, and the original orderly Goguryeo army of more than 8,000 had completely lost the appearance of the army at this time.

In this chaos of the Goguryeo army, the speed of running slowed down because of the crowding of each other, which made the Yan Eighteenth Congress, who led the pursuit of the troops, overjoyed, and gave a loud order for the whole army to attack, and the iron cavalry of the Wu Qiantang army rushed towards the fleeing Cheng Dawu department like a whirlwind......
