"The cavalry of the Tang Army is coming to call for battle again!"

On the fifth day of the Anshi City battlefield, the Turkic prince Ashina Sheer led the cavalry of the Tang Army to call for battle against the Goguryeo army on the opposite side for three consecutive days.

Except for calling the battle on the first day and killing thousands of Goguryeo cavalry, Goguryeo did not dare to engage in the battle, and simply could not hold out.

"Goguryeo has become timid. If Qin Qiong was still alive, and Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chi Jingde were young and strong, their performance was estimated to be even worse than that of the Turkic prince Ashina Sheer. ”

Chu Tian saw that Ashina Sheer was relying on the Tang cavalry, majestic and majestic, and he couldn't help but want to step forward and call for battle.

He also has two military generals in his hands, and his performance is not necessarily worse than that of the Turkic princes.

"Li Guang, you take a dozen cavalrymen who are good at cavalry and archery to cross the river to provoke."

Chutian sent Li Guang, who had the highest military force, to learn from the Tang army to provoke Goguryeo.

"The last general commands!"

Li Guang selected thirteen cavalrymen who were good at shooting, and led them to cross the river from the pontoon bridge upstream to challenge.

"Di Qing, you go too."

Prince Yan saw that Chutian had sent Li Guang, and he was unwilling to be reluctant, so he sent Di Qing, a famous general of the Song Dynasty.

Di Qing led more than a dozen Youzhou cavalry and followed behind Li Guang.

And Chu Tian and Prince Yan and other lords watched the battle on the other side of the river.

The two generals under their command had the confidence to dare to let them play.

Li Guang rode a Turkic war horse exchanged from the quartermaster of the Tang Army, held a longbow in his hand, and flaunted his might in front of the Goguryeo army.

Di Qing put on a bronze mask, his hair was scattered, and he held a large knife in his hand.

This time, it was not the Tang army that provoked, but it was replaced by the generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty lords.

"Goryeo stick, come out to fight!"

At the behest of Chutian, Li Guang used words that could anger the lord of Goryeo to insult him.

There are different civilizations in "Lords", and there are hundreds of languages, so there is an auxiliary system, and although the other party does not speak Chinese, he can understand it.

The lords of Goryeo were annoyed when they heard Li Guang insulting them as sticks.

The Turkic prince came with two thousand Tang troops to call for battle, but the two young generals of the other lord only brought more than 20 cavalry to insult him.

"How dare you scold us and kill them!"

Finally, the lord of Goryeo couldn't hold back and sent hundreds of cavalry out to hunt down Li Guang and Di Qing.

This time the ratio of the two sides is twenty to one, so it is impossible to lose, right?

A Goryeo cavalry general brandished a big sword, and he was vigorous: "I am Song Rulong, the general of Goryeo!" ”

"General Song Rulong is out of the horse, and the other party is bound to be defeated. Their lord dared to underestimate our Goryeo, which is unbearable. ”

The Goryeo lords clenched their fists, and the lords of the Eastern Han District on the opposite side were too contemptuous of them to simply ignore them.

Goryeo is also a thousand-year-old civilization that has experienced several complete kingdom rule.

Goryeo General Song Rulong clamped the horse's belly, there were four hundred Goryeo cavalry around and behind him, and the other party should turn around and flee in the face of the black cloud-like Goryeo cavalry.

However, what stunned Song Rulong was that Li Guang and Di Qing, the two fierce generals, not only did not leave, but almost simultaneously bent their bows and arrows and shot at the cavalry generals on the opposite side!

Two sharp arrows, one in front of the other, hit Song Rulong.

Di Qing's arrow pierced Song Rulong's shoulder, the impact made his shoulder shake, and Li Guang's arrow had already pierced Song Rulong's throat!

Song Rulong fell from his horse, and the four hundred Goryeo cavalry were shocked.

Li Guang continued to bend his bow and fired sharp arrows in a row, and two more cavalrymen were shot.

Di Qing saw that his archery skills were not as good as Li Guang's, so he simply picked up the bending knife, this kind of long-handled big knife blade was sharp in front and oblique in the back, which was somewhat similar to the Glaive Knife.

"Kill!"

Di Qing led more than a dozen Youzhou cavalry to attack, not retreating but advancing!

The Youzhou cavalry plunged into the Korean cavalry, Di Qing's head was scattered, and the bronze mask was extremely hideous, like a demon from hell, slashing the oncoming Korean cavalry to death!

The morale of the Goryeo cavalry was greatly damaged and fell into chaos, while Li Guang was still shooting the Goryeo cavalry on the opposite side in a hurry.

"Once Di Qing launches a charge, the morale of the opposite side will drop."

Di Qing's lord, Prince Yan, saw that his subordinates were heroic, and he knew Di Qing's ability very well.

"Just in cooperation with Li Guang."

Chu Tian thought that Li Guang could lower the morale of the alien race, and the damage to the alien race would increase, and he fought side by side with Di Qing, and the morale of the opposite side was greatly hit at once.

In ancient battles, brave generals and soldiers could indeed make the enemy fearful, such as the Jin State Jurchen was invincible, and the Song State regretted the mountain and the Yue family's army.

In the face of these elites, the hearts of the opponent's unfought troops have been shaken.

Sometimes, all it takes is a prestige.

"It's still Li Guang's bow skills."

Prince Yan and the other lords couldn't help but be shocked when they found that Li Guang shot more than a dozen arrows one after another in one go, with a hit rate of more than seventy percent.

Li Guang led more than a dozen light cavalry to ride and shoot while roaming, while Di Qing rushed back and forth in the enemy formation, cutting more than ten cavalry in a row, unstoppable!

Two Goryeo cavalrymen armed with spears stabbed Di Qing at the same time.

Di Qing dodged two spears, grabbed the spears in his right arm, and took advantage of the situation to cut down a Korean cavalry company with horses and horses!

The army was in chaos, and the 400 Goryeo cavalry had a tendency to disperse.

Di Qing rushed left and right in the chaos, and a spear pierced the armor on his back, and blood oozed out.

Another sharp arrow hit Di Qing, was blocked by the armor, and hung on Di Qing's body, Di Qing was still full of arrogance, and cut off the head of a war horse with a knife!

It's brutal......

Chu Tian saw Di Qing's fierce performance, this guy saw people cutting people, seeing horses and horses, he was a fierce general, but there were not many opportunities to perform in history.

Chu Tian was shocked by Di Qing's performance, while the other lords were surprised by Li Guang's archery skills.

Li Guang had already shot more than two dozen Goryeo cavalrymen.

Li Guang was not injured at all, and he approached the level of 100 people with a bow and arrow.

The four hundred Goryeo cavalry commanders were shot, coupled with the prestige of Li Guang and Di Qing to kill each other, and the morale completely collapsed.

"Echiwende, lead the cavalry to support."

Choi Jae-seon, the lord of Goryeo, sent Eulji Moondeok, a Goguryeo military general who had defeated the Sui army.

A young military general was ordered to attack, and a thousand Goryeo cavalry rushed out of the Goguryeo army.

"The momentum of this Goryeo cavalry seems to be a little different."

Chu Tian, Prince Yan, Gongzi Wen, Xue Yue and others, who were on the other side of the river, found that the temperament of the Goryeo cavalry had completely changed.

The momentum of the army is invisible, but it can give people a sense of oppression. With a sense of oppression, you can roughly judge whether the other party is a rabble or an elite division.

The Goryeo cavalry, led by historical generals, has a big difference in momentum and military discipline.

"Mingjin retreats."

Chu Tian didn't dare to take risks with Li Guang this time, so he withdrew his troops across the river.

It is not a problem for Li Guang to bully a small group of cavalry, but if he is pursued by thousands of cavalry on the other side, and the other party has a historical general, then Li Guang may be captured.

When Li Guang heard Mingjin's order to withdraw his troops, and saw that Di Qing was still trapped in the enemy formation, he drew the ring head knife on his waist and killed Di Qing in the Goryeo cavalry.

Although Li Guang often played with the longbow, as a flying general in the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty Huanshou Dao made it superb, wielding a ring-headed knife with a thick arm, and slashing a Goryeo cavalryman.

The Goryeo cavalry avoided one after another, and Li Guang and Di Qing converged, and the two broke through and led the cavalry to retreat.

"The other party is a historical military general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, kill them, they will definitely be greatly injured!"

The Goryeo lords didn't care about any fairness at this time, and the performances of Li Guang and Di Qing made them realize that this was a good opportunity to kill the heroes of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Kill!"

Thousands of Goryeo cavalry poured out, and Li Guang and Di Qing seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest and were collectively pursued by the Goryeo cavalry.

E-branch Wende's cavalry took the lead in rushing to the front, and under the command of E-branch Wende, they made a detour left and right, trying to outflank Li Guang and Di Qing.

"We're here to help!"

Chu Tian found that he had played big, and the patience of the lord of Goryeo was also limited, he was repeatedly provoked, and there was a chance to kill the heroes of the Eastern Han Dynasty in front of him, and they wanted to kill Li Guang and Di Qing in one fell swoop, regardless of how much they had.

If Li Guang and Di Qing want to escape back, they must reach the pontoon bridge upstream.

"What happened?"

The commander of the 100,000 Tang Army, Li Tao, was inspecting the camp, but found that there was a commotion on the opposite side.

"General, there are lords who go to provoke the Goguryeo army, and Goguryeo has at least tens of thousands of cavalry to fight."

"Oh? The Goguryeo army held out without a fight yesterday, but it was unexpectedly provoked by the lords who helped it. ”

"The lord only sent a few dozen cavalry across the river, and at this time he was being pursued by the other party."

"Let Zhang Shigui send a team of cavalry to support."

"Yes!"

Chutian didn't expect that he would provoke such a big stir by learning from the Turkic prince Ashina Sheer to provoke the Goguryeo army.

Tens of thousands of Goryeo cavalry slaughtered, mighty, and stretched for several miles.

This was an unexpected event that no one expected, and the Tang army guarding the pontoon bridge on the other side of the river was only three thousand.

Large forces of the Don Army began to reinforce the positions of the pontoon bridges upstream.

Chu Tian rushed to the position of the pontoon bridge with a team of cavalry to pick up Li Guang and Di Qing.

Zhang Shigui, the general of the left leading army of the Tang Army and the Duke of Qiuguo, was on the other side of the river at this time, leading 3,000 Tang troops to camp. When he saw Li Guang and Di Qing leading out tens of thousands of Goryeo cavalry, he wanted to curse inexplicably.

The Tang Army's field combat capability is very strong, which does not mean that it can always deal with the impact of tens of thousands of Goryeo cavalry.

"Formation!"

Zhang Shigui commanded the Tang army to form a moon formation with its back against the river, the sharp infantry lances pointed to the periphery, and the Tang army's crossbowmen in the rear.

There was also a detachment of Don cavalry covering on the flanks.

"Ahead is the phalanx of the Tang army, what should we do?"

"Kill the past and destroy the Tang Army pontoon bridge!"

Ulji Wendek judged the situation and saw that the wood was already in the boat, and the morale of the Goryeo army was greatly boosted because of the provocation, so they simply did not do anything and launched an offensive against the Tang army on the other side of the river.

The Tang army fired thousands of crossbows in unison, and the Goryeo cavalry fell hundreds of people, but more and more Goryeo cavalry emerged in the rear, like a black cloud about to swallow the three thousand Tang troops.

Zhang Shigui fell into a bitter battle, and the Goryeo cavalry was full of arrows, and the arrows fell on the shield of the Tang army! Occasionally, sharp arrows were shot into the large array of the Tang army from the gap in the shield array!

A Tang soldier fell with an arrow, and the soldiers in the back row immediately made up for it.

In the face of cavalry, if there is a flaw in the phalanx, it will soon be broken through.

The bows and crossbows of the Don army were more ferocious than the cavalry of the opponent, and they shot the cavalry on the opposite side one after another.

The Goryeo cavalry, under the leadership of Eulji Wende, did not use light cavalry to attack the Tang army's tight phalanx, but avoided the Tang army's phalanx and used the rain of arrows formed by cavalry to attack the Tang army.

Despite the heavy losses of the Goryeo cavalry, it was worth sacrificing three or four Goryeo cavalry for a Tang army.

"Call the heavy cavalry!"

The Goguryeo general Gao Yeonju was alarmed and personally came to participate in the battle.

He is also a famous historical hero of Goguryeo, but he met the heavenly khan Li Shimin.

The elite cavalry of the Goguryeo army was thrown into battle, intending to decide the outcome of a battle.

Five thousand heavy cavalry followed, and a heavy cavalry assault was planned on the soldiers of the Don Army defending the pontoon bridge.

This heavy cavalry is dressed in heavy armor, which is somewhat similar to the armor system of the Central Plains cavalry, but there are slight differences.

The appearance of Goguryeo's heavy cavalry made Zhang Shigui's face even more unsightly.

The 3,000 Tang Army could not shake the 5,000 heavy cavalry and tens of thousands of light cavalry.

If you have to say that there is, some special Tang troops such as Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army and Li Siye's Modao Team can do it...... But not Zhang Shigui.

"It's really unwilling, just 3,000 Tang horses, and let me use heavy cavalry."

Goguryeo general Gao Yanshou, under the protection of a group of elite soldiers, personally went to the front line to direct the siege of the 3,000 Tang army.

He had at least dozens of generals and hundreds of soldiers by his side, so he was not afraid of the Tang army.

Qin Qiong, the fierce general of the Tang Army, has died of illness, Li Jing, the god of war, is critically ill, Cheng Zhijie stayed in Chang'an, and Wei Chi Jingde is over the age of six, with gray hair, and the only one who can charge into battle is a group of young generals.

The appearance of 5,000 Goguryeo heavy cavalry on the battlefield meant that the decisive battle of Goguryeo against the Tang army crossing the river had begun.

Some of the Goguryeo cavalry dismounted and used longbows to shoot at the Tang army, and the two sides were shot at each other with a rain of arrows.

As long as some people in the Tang army were lax or timid, and some people turned around and fled, destroying the formation, then the heavy cavalry could completely defeat this Tang army.

However, to the surprise of the Goguryeo army, despite the small number of Tang troops, they still maintained a moon formation composed of spears, bows, crossbows, and carriages, and no one fled back to the other side of the river without permission.

The main force of the Tang Army on the other side of the river was stepping across the pontoon bridge to support Zhang Shigui.

The 1,000 cavalry under Zhang Shigui was ready to counterattack the outnumbered Goguryeo cavalry.

"You join my cavalry!"

The elderly Zhang Shigui recruited Li Guang and Di Qing.

His age no longer allows him to charge into battle in person, but Li Guang and Di Qing can act as the vanguard of the Tang cavalry.

Li Guang and Di Qing stabbed the hornet's nest, fled back to the Tang army's phalanx at this time, and when Zhang Shigui had a move, he immediately joined the Tang army's cavalry.

Among the cavalry of the Tang Army, a white-clothed Tang soldier held Fang Tian's halberd and carried a double bow at his waist.

He saw Li Guang and Di Qing, who were majestic, and he was eager to try.

Just now, it was Li Guang and Di Qing who angered the Goguryeo army, and the force of these two people was so high that even the general Zhang Shigui decided to temporarily use them as the vanguard.

The main force of the Tang army on the other side of the river was reinforced with the help of pontoon bridges, and the opportunity for the decisive victory of the Goguryeo army disappeared, and it gradually became uneasy.

"Retreat."

Gao Yanshou saw that he could not do anything, so he ordered the Goguryeo army to withdraw from this place.

At this time, a small number of Tang cavalry took the initiative to counterattack under the leadership of Li Guang and Di Qing!
