The cavalry of the Tang Army, which was less than 1,000 people, was inserted into the rear of the Goguryeo cavalry, and two rounds of arrows shot dozens of Goguryeo cavalry, and the Tang knife and horse lance stabbed, and dozens of Goguryeo cavalry were cut down in one face!

In the Tang army, a white-clothed soldier wielded Fang Tian's halberd with both hands, taking the lead, not willing to lag behind Li Guang and Di Qing, and broke into the enemy formation, and the Goguryeo cavalry on the opposite side did not have a combined force!

No one thought that a small soldier of the Tang Army could actually kill all sides in the Goguryeo cavalry, and hundreds of Goguryeo cavalry around him were killed and wounded by two or three out of ten!

A Goguryeo general led his own soldiers and tried to intercept the Tang army's white-clothed soldiers, but was personally beheaded by the white-clothed soldiers, and his head was cut off by the white-clothed soldiers and hung on the saddle, shocking Goryeo!

Di Qing pressed his left hand on the back of his sword and slashed one of the Goguryeo cavalrymen.

He was slightly shocked when he caught a glimpse of the white-clothed soldier rushing faster than him.

Gao Yanshou personally led dozens of generals and hundreds of personal soldiers and thousands of cavalry to the rear of the palace, at this time, when he saw the Tang cavalry counterattacking, a Tang sergeant was killed less than half a mile away from him, and he was terrified.

Has the Tang Army reached the point where even small soldiers can enter and exit seven times?

The white-clothed soldiers chased and killed all the way, even more ferocious than Li Guang and Di Qing.

Li Guang's close combat is really no match for this Tang army soldier.

When the reinforcements of the Tang Army arrived, Chu Tian took a group of lords, Hua Mulan and others to cross the river together and participate in the sudden battle.

Hua Mulan was equipped with a gold-level horse lance that she had exchanged from the Tang Army quartermaster, which was the first time she had used a heavy cavalry weapon in actual combat.

Hua Mulan led hundreds of light cavalry in Xia Cheng to pursue and kill the Goguryeo cavalry.

A four-meter horse lance easily pierced a Goguryeo cavalry without iron armor.

With a flick of Mulan's wrist, the Goguryeo cavalry who was stabbed to death by the horse lance fell to the ground, and the war horses in the rear trampled past.

"That Tang Army soldier, it won't be Xue Rengui, right?"

Chu Tian had just witnessed the Tang Army's soldiers showing their might.

Apparently that it was no ordinary creep.

No matter how elite the Tang army is, even if it is a tenth-order army, it is impossible to achieve seven in and seven out of the enemy army, and recklessly take the head of the opponent's general in the chaotic army.

The only thing that can be explained is that this is a small soldier who could become a general.

Chu Tian thought of the famous fierce general in the early Tang Dynasty - Xue Rengui of the Three Arrows Dingtian Mountain!

No wonder his performance is more ferocious than Li Guang and Di Qing, and Xue Rengui is at the top in both melee combat and archery.

The Tang army once again drove the Goguryeo cavalry back to the camp, and the Goguryeo cavalry suffered thousands of casualties in this battle, which was an unprecedented defeat.

"The third time I lost to the Tang Army, can the siege of Anshi City be solved?"

Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen returned to the camp and frowned.

The performance of the Tang Army's small soldiers made him completely overestimate the Tang Army, thinking that the Tang Army was all heavenly soldiers and generals.

Chutian's side counted the soldiers and horses, and there were few losses. Because of Li Guang and Hua Mulan's brave fighting, Chutian won 1568 military merits.

In addition to the military exploits captured, there were also more than a dozen captured Goryeo war horses, several iron armor and dozens of other weapons.

What particularly surprised Chutian was that Mulan also captured a Goguryeo heavy cavalry.

"I'm willing to serve you, please don't kill me."

The Goguryeo heavy cavalry was obviously afraid of the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and even easily surrendered their allegiance to Chutian.

Li Shimintian's influence was extraordinary, and later there were even many famous Goguryeo generals in the Tang army.

Chu Tian didn't expect that in "Lord", he could directly recruit soldiers from other civilizations - if the other party's soldiers were willing.

I don't know how to hate the country.

Chutian checked the attributes of the Goguryeo heavy cavalry and wanted to know the opponent's troops.

[Class]: Goguryeo heavy cavalry

[Grade]: Fourth-order

[Level]: Level 50

[Description]: An ancient heavy cavalry active in Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula.

[Yu Lu]: 2 taels of silver (the original Yu Lu 4 taels of silver, foreign races only need to give half of the Yulu)

Chutian temporarily placed this Goguryeo heavy cavalry under house arrest.

The first heavy cavalry in his own territory turned out to be from Goguryeo, or a fourth-order army.

And because of the alien cavalry, only half of the money was given......

But that's right, isn't it normal to deduct the wages of foreign races and let them work the front line, while the landlord enjoys happiness in the rear?

"In the future, it is necessary to learn from the Tang Army, recruit a team of cannon fodder, and charge into battle, as long as you pay half of the money. Loyalty is an issue, though. ”

Chu Tian thought that unless he was like Li Shimin, he could suppress other civilizations, otherwise he would be easily betrayed by foreign troops.

It's a double-edged sword, depending on how you use it.

The Tang army pursued and killed for a while, and then retreated, and the white-clothed Tang army soldiers carried the heads of the Goguryeo generals to invite merit, and were summoned by Li Tao.

And Chu Tian and Prince Yan were awarded 1,000 military merits each for their meritorious service to Li Guang and Di Qing.

"It's a pity that my military general, Pang Juan, is an infantry general, and sometimes he suffers after all."

Gongzi Wen, the lord of Dongjun, was a little depressed. The heavy infantry did not react fast enough in such a quick battle to grab much military merit. Generally speaking, it is still cavalry that can increase the results of the battle.

The lord of Jiuyuan, Dahu, led eight hundred Bingzhou cavalry to break into the enemy formation, killing hundreds of enemies, and even won a lot of military exploits, which can be regarded as a ruthless man.

"It's now day five and it looks like we're winning, but it's not. Killing hundreds or thousands of people was insignificant to Goguryeo's million-strong army. If you don't defeat the opponent's reinforcements as soon as possible, you won't be able to concentrate all your forces to attack Anshi Castle. ”

Chutian and the others returned to the camp with the booty, but Fang Xuanling and Zhou Yafu, who were sticking to the camp, thought that the situation was not optimistic.

The attack on Anshi City was the most difficult stage of this campaign, and the Tang army was really not afraid of the million Goguryeo reinforcements on the opposite side.

"After all, it still depends on how Tang Taizong Li Shimin defeats the Goguryeo army on the opposite side as soon as possible."

Chutian couldn't order the Tang army to attack, he had already tried his best to make a statement to Li Shimin, and he could only look at Li Shimin's strategy.

Chutian redivided the establishment of the Second Army Corps, and ordered Zhou Yafu and Pang Juan to command the 10,000 infantry of the Second Army, Li Guang to command 5,000 archers, and Di Qing and Hua Mulan to command 5,000 cavalry.

As for the 5,000 freelancers, appoint a guild leader as the commander and Xueyue as the lieutenant general as a surprise soldier and reserve.

Chu Tian didn't dare to let the army formed by free players fight head-on, otherwise it would easily collapse, and it would be a huge loss for the Eastern Han District.

Outside the city of Anshi, the elderly Li Shimin turned over and got on the horse, and Wei Chi Jingde personally supported him.

"Jingde, you and I are both old."

Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh when he saw the gray-haired Wei Chi Jingde, who was not as brave as he was back then, and then thought of the death of the Wenchen military generals who followed him to fight the world.

"Your Majesty has not yet known the Mandate of Heaven, and the last general has already been armored, but it is still easy to deal with Goguryeo."

"Emperor Yang's repeated crusades against Goguryeo have been fruitless, and if this country is not eradicated as soon as possible, it will definitely become a scourge of the Tang Dynasty in the future. Before you and I go into the earth, we will surely perish. ”

Li Shimin's eyes with some vicissitudes of life gradually sharpened, and the edge of dominating the sea reappeared, even if he was old, he still wanted to eliminate the threat to Datang before he died. Goguryeo, which dominates Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula, was not an ordinary nomadic tribe, but a frontier power that threatened the Sui and Tang dynasties. Therefore, Emperor Yang Guangcai of the Sui Dynasty repeatedly crusaded against Goguryeo three times.

It's just that Yang Guang made a lot of mistakes in his crusade against Goguryeo.

"Ordered the king of Jiangxia to supervise the accumulation of earth and mountains, pile up the four earth mountains as soon as possible, and strictly defend the army out of the city to occupy the territory and mountains. What the Inhuman Lords said might be right. The difficulty was not in defeating a million reinforcements, but in capturing the fortified city of Anshi. If the hearts of the people are available, although hundreds of thousands of troops cannot pull them out. ”

Li Shimin dictated the military order, which was recorded by civil officials and passed to Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia.

Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, led 100,000 Tang troops and 125,000 Han troops to carry out civil engineering operations outside Anshi City, and four earthen mountains rose from the ground.

Anshi City relies on the mountains, sits on the danger of terrain, is a mountain city, because the number of soldiers on both sides has increased tenfold, Anshi City is also stronger, the city wall is eight meters high, plus the mountain, the Tang army needs to attack the mountain city on its back, and personal force does not play much role.

In the field, the Tang army at this time was almost invincible in the world, but the siege of the city was subject to the terrain.

Lao Qin personally carried a basket to transport clods of soil and led the soldiers to pile up mountains of soil. Assisting the Tang Army to complete the piling of earth mountains can also obtain military merits.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, Anshi Castle was more difficult to attack than he had imagined.

There are very few historical records of the topography of Anshi Castle, and only when you arrive at the foot of Anshi Castle can you know how steep the mountain castle is.

"The earth mountain must be at least twenty or thirty meters high to have a bird's-eye view of the whole city."

"There may be more than 100,000 defenders in the city, and with the help of the terrain, the Tang cavalry will not be able to give full play to their advantages, and can only rely on the infantry to attack, and there will be countless casualties."

"The Tang army is preparing siege equipment, and we suggest that Li Shimin prepare a hundred large trebuchets, so that the defenders of Anshi City will know what Tianwei is."

The Han army was piling up mountains of earth, and the Tang army was making siege equipment.

Siege towers, ramming vehicles, trebuchets, ladder vehicles, and all kinds of siege equipment are quickly manufactured in units of ten.

Yang Wanchun, the lord of Anshi City, with a group of Goryeo lords, was observing the movements of the Tang army and the Han army below on the city wall, and was at a loss in the face of the Tang army and the Han army who were preparing to attack the city.

He did not dare to go out of the city to destroy the earth mountain and burn the siege equipment of the Tang army, the general of the Tang army, Li Daozong, with 30,000 Tang cavalry outside the city, if the defenders went out of the city, they would only be trampled under the iron hooves of the Tang cavalry.

The Tang army was eager for the defenders of Anshi City to leave the city.

All Yang Wanchun could do was to continuously strengthen and raise the city walls and prepare for the fortifications.

The Goryeo lord Kim Yi-jeong's Xijing Legion and Yi Min-cheol's Kaegyeong Legion were born in Anseong Fortress and joined forces with Yang Wanchun.

In the face of the Tang army and the Han army, they were walking on thin ice.

The only thing that made them feel safe was the walls of Anshi Castle.

"The completion of the Tang Army's dirt mountain will be a disaster. Once the earth mountain is built, you can peep into all the virtual reality in the city, set up a high oar, distribute crossbowmen, and arrows rain down. ”

Yang Wanchun was even more worried when he saw that the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty were not in a hurry to attack the city, but instead built earth mountains.

"City Lord, how to deal with the earth mountain outside the city?"

"Use a catapult."

"Then let's build a catapult."

"There are so many soldiers outside the city that I really don't know if the catapults can stop them from building dirt hills."

Yang Wanchun's Goguryeo defenders were also nervously building catapults, and their aim was to destroy the Tang army's Tushan - I couldn't imagine what kind of pressure the 30-meter-high Tushan would put on Anshi City.

"Has the eldest grandson Wuji already set off?"

Li Shimin's gaze retracted from the fortified Anshi City and asked Wei Chi Jingde.

"Lord Changsun has led an army of 120,000 and an army of 50,000 of the Eastern Han Dynasty to attack the rear of the Goguryeo army. As long as His Majesty is here in person, the north and the south will definitely win. The last general asks to be the vanguard! ”

Although Wei Chi Jingde was still heroic, he asked Li Shimin to fight.

"No. I have lost Qin Shubao and cannot lose Qing again. ”

Li Shimin shook his head lightly, the veterans of the Tang Dynasty use one less than one, and they are no longer the young and vigorous group of people when they fought the world.

"Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, Yuan Cong Forbidden Army, and Hundred Cavalry, go out with me, let Goguryeo see what a real cavalry is!"

Li Shimin held three elites in his hands and went south to personally recruit millions of reinforcements from Goguryeo!

Wei Chi Jingde held a lance and rode a war horse at the forefront of the Xuanjia Army.

As one of the generals of the Xuanjia Army, he once again found the heroic feelings when he led the Xuanjia Army to fight for Li Shimin.

Everywhere the Tang Xuanjia cavalry went, it was invincible!

Countless enemies fell under the iron hooves of this heavy cavalry!

The high-level heavy cavalry, the trump card in the hands of Li Shimin, who was the envy of countless lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was finally dispatched at this time.

Ordering the Xuanjia Army to participate in the battle shows that Li Shimin has moved his true character.

Yuan Cong's forbidden army, which was the earliest forbidden army set up by Li Yuan, guarded the Xuanwu Gate, and followed Li Shimin to crusade against Liaodong at this time.

There are also the "hundred horses" that Chutian saw near Li Shimin's camp. The number of hundred horsemen is very small, but it is the elite of the elite, experienced in a hundred battles, responsible for following Li Shimin, and has extremely strong combat power.

Whether it is the Xuanjia Army, or the Yuancong Forbidden Army, or the Hundred Cavalry, they belong to high-level troops. In addition to this, there were a large number of middle and low-ranking Tang Army soldiers. Although they are a low-to-mid rank, they are highly ranked and at their peak.

The 10th Army of the Eastern Han District was ordered to go south with Li Shimin. When they saw Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army, Yuan Cong's Forbidden Army, and the Hundred Cavalry, they couldn't help but blush.

If there is a lord of the Eastern Han region who can have such an elite division, it is easy to become a prince. Tang Taizong Li Shimin's troops, how can they be underestimated?

The Xuanjia Army of the Tang Dynasty must be among the top three among the cavalry in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the heavy cavalry is generally higher in rank and more expensive than the light cavalry.

Li Shimin divided the Tang army into four teams, and Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, surrounded the city of Anshi and prepared to attack the city. The British Duke Li Tao attracted the attention of the Goguryeo reinforcements head-on, and the eldest grandson Wuji made a detour to attack the rear of the Goguryeo reinforcements, while Li Shimin personally served as one of the reserves and one of the main forces in the decisive battle.

"Come on, Tang Taizong Li Shimin, if you dare to send surprise troops to attack our rear, they will definitely have no return."

In the Goguryeo camp, Cui Jae-sun, who was frustrated by Xue Rengui, Li Guang, Di Qing and others, was not discouraged, but waited for the surprise team sent by Li Shimin to take the bait.

If the ambush is successful and kills the eldest grandson Wuji, he can gain a lot of combat exploits.
