"There is an ambush, retreat!"

In the northern part of the canyon, a Tang army came out of the trail and was ambushed by the Goguryeo army, with bows and crossbows!

The Goguryeo chieftain Gao Hye-jin personally commanded the ambush, and the Goguryeo military general Ulji Wendeok led the elite archers of the Northern Frontier Army to fire a salvo, and the Tang army was defeated and retreated backwards, with a heavy infantry and crossbowmen behind the palace.

"Destroy this Don army!"

Choi Jae-sun waved his hand, and a group of Goguryeo mountain infantry pursued the Tang army, the Tang army lost its armor and abandoned its armor, and the military flags were scattered all over the place.

"Sure enough, the Tang army that came to provoke a few days ago was just their elite cavalry. The Don Army was not invincible. ”

Choi Jae-sun saw that the Tang army in the canyon had left a lot of loot, and immediately collected these weapons and armor. The equipment of the Tang army was undoubtedly a good thing for the lords of Goryeo.

"The Tang army that attacked the rear of the Goguryeo reinforcements was defeated!"

This news quickly reached the ears of Chu Tian and the others who were on the other side of the river at this time, and the army's heart shook.

"Impossible, we have already reminded Li Shimin, why did he still send troops according to the original plan?"

Chu Tian was a little incredulous.

Prince Yan, Gongziwen, Dahu and other lords also couldn't believe that the failure of the Tang army's sneak attack undoubtedly gave a boost to the Goguryeo army, which had suffered defeat in recent days.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin didn't seem to listen to their advice at all.

"How many casualties did the Tang army have?"

"I don't know, there are probably thousands."

"If there are only a few thousand people, it won't hurt the bones, but the impact on morale is too great. And in this way, it was impossible to break the Goguryeo army on the opposite side. ”

While a group of lords in Chutian were discussing, Tang Jun was in a commotion again.

"Your Majesty's royal expedition has arrived at Beiling!"

The Tang army stationed in Xiling swept away the blow of hearing the news of the defeat and instantly fell into a frenzy.

After becoming the emperor, there are not many emperors who often drive in person, and even fewer emperors who can win battles every time they drive in person!

"Li Shimin personally dispatched."

Chu Tian and the others looked at Beiling.

Beiling was on the other side of the river, and Li Shimin personally led 40,000 Tang troops and 25,000 Eastern Han troops to Beiling.

Li Shimin brought fewer people than Li Tao, but he dared to appear on the shore where the Goguryeo army was located.

The Goguryeo army also noticed the arrival of the Tang Emperor, and all the soldiers and horses were on alert.

A Xuanjia cavalry appeared from the horizon, and the battle flag of the Tang army hunted in the valley wind! The gray-haired Wei Chi Jingde held the horse lance, the tall horse, and still had the posture of charging into battle in the past!

"The Tang Xuanjia cavalry, that's a high-level heavy cavalry."

At present, Chu Tian, who has only one Goguryeo heavy cavalry in his hands, can't help but blush at Li Shimin's elite.

Compared with Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry, the Goguryeo heavy cavalry is really nothing.

"That's the heavy cavalry of the Heavenly Khan, invincible wherever the iron hoof goes!"

Gao Huizhen, who had just defeated the eldest grandson Wuji's partial division, and Yizhi Wende prepared troops and horses to meet Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

The shock brought to them by the Tang Xuanjia cavalry was incomparable, and this elite cavalry must be blocked, otherwise a heavy cavalry can defeat tens of thousands of people.

"Set up a horse and antlers!"

The Goguryeo army spread a variety of fortifications to prevent the Tang army's Xuanjia cavalry from charging.

Cold sweat continued to break out on the forehead of Jiang Fat of the Jeonju Legion, and his right hand trembled and held the towel. He also knew that Li Shimin had an elite heavy cavalry under his command, and there was no one in the field who was Li Shimin's opponent.

"The fact that we defeated the Tang army of the eldest grandson Wuji just now shows that the Tang army is not a big deal. Eulzhi Wende will defeat Li Shimin! ”

Choi Jae-sun appeared with Eulji Moondeok, and he handed over almost all the forces of the Goryeo lords to the command of Eulji Moondeok. The commander of Eulji Moondeok can give bonuses to more than 100,000 troops, and is one of the few top heroes in the Goryeo civilization region.

The only weakness was that the troops of the lords of Goryeo could not compete with Li Shimin's Tang army.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin blatantly appeared in Beiling with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Li Tao's 100,000 Tang army was a horn, and he was not afraid of Goguryeo's million-strong army at all.

The Tang army continued to send the Turkic prince Ashina Sheer to provoke Goguryeo, but the Goguryeo army was highly nervous and did not continue to be hit.

Li Shimin was stationed in Northridge.

On the seventh day of the war, the two sides were still facing off.

"What is Li Shimin thinking?"

Chu Tian and the others have been waiting patiently, and Li Shimin has not moved for a day when he arrived at Beiling.

On the evening of the seventh day, a team of Tang Army sergeants came to Chutian's camp and found Chutian who was unloading his armor and resting: "The British are summoned. ”

Chu Tian followed the Tang army sergeant to Li Tao's camp, and Ming Guan, the commander of the Third Legion, was also summoned by Li Tao.

This is the second time that Chu Tian has met the British Duke of the Tang Dynasty.

"Kill pigs and chickens today, reward the whole army, and fight a decisive battle tomorrow."

Li Tao's words were also very simple, inform Chutian and Mingguan that they would fight a decisive battle with the Goguryeo army tomorrow.

Other than that, there are no other commands.

"The Tang army is still as confident in himself as ever, and after the defeat of the eldest grandson Wuji, he even fought with the Goguryeo army as if nothing happened."

"Could it be something else?"

Chu Tian and the others could only believe in Li Shimin.

The Second Army and the Third Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty Coalition Army slaughtered pigs and chickens and rewarded soldiers.

Generally speaking, before the decisive battle, the soldiers will be given a good meal to boost morale, and even if they die in battle, they can be a full ghost.

"Tomorrow's decisive battle, everyone should pay attention to safety, and after the soldier dies, you can recruit again, if the lord dies in battle, it may have an impact on the future national war."

Chu Tian looked around at his nine lords and ten guild leaders, tomorrow's decisive battle might last for a long time, and there were millions of troops on the opposite side.

"At that time, Zhou Yafu, Pang Juan, and Li Guang will be the main forces, and Di Qing and Hua Mulan will each lead a team of cavalry, waiting for the opportunity to move."

He simply deployed.

In a battle, there may be a test of each other ninety percent of the time, and it only takes a day or two to decide the winner.

Tomorrow will be a battle related to the victory or defeat of the Tang army and the Goguryeo army.

Everyone's mood was a little heavy.

The Tang army was not invincible, and the division of Changsun Wuji was repelled by the Goguryeo army.

On the eighth day of the national war, 40,000 Tang troops and 25,000 Han troops from Beiling came out of the camp and lined up.

Xiling Li Tao's 100,000 Tang troops and 50,000 Han troops went out of camp to prepare to fight across the river.

The Goguryeo army realized that the Tang army was about to launch a battle, and also went out of the camp to respond to the battle, taking advantage of the defeat of the eldest grandson Wuji and the high morale of the Tang army, to completely destroy the Tang army.

To be on the safe side, the Goguryeo army deployed a large number of horses and antlers around the phalanx, fearing the Tang army's iron hooves assault.

Chutian's Second Army and Mingguan's Third Army were regarded as reserves by Li Tao, and the main force of the real assault was still the Tang Army.

"By the middle and late stages, maybe we can become the main force."

Chu Tian knew that the soldiers and horses of the lords of the Eastern Han District in the early stage were not qualified to serve as the main force in front of the Tang army.

By the time the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty recruited the Iron Eagle Scouts, Wei Wushu, Qin Ruishi, and Liaodong Iron Cavalry, they might be qualified to claim that they were the main force like the Tang Army.

Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry was not listed at the front, but was replaced by the Tang army's heavy infantry, armed with six-foot infantry lances.

Compared with the cavalry lance that Chutian exchanged for Mulan, this infantry lance is much cheaper.

Chu Tian changed Hua Mulan for a gold-level cavalry lance, which was actually a luxury item.

The infantry of the Tang army covered the crossbowmen to press on the Goguryeo army, which nervously stepped back.

"Everyone, don't panic!"

The two generals, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen, worked hard to maintain the army.

Although the Tang army was small in number, the pressure brought was great.

After the canyon area was ten times larger, the space was still not large, and the advantage of Goguryeo's million-strong army could not be brought into play, and only tens of thousands of people spread out in front.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin was on the high ground of Beiling at this time, looking south.

"The eldest grandson Wuji, how can he fail so easily."

"Your Majesty, there is dust in the south."

"Order, the whole army attack!"

The sound of horns and war drums sounded, and the Tang army launched an attack on all fronts!

The sparkling Tang army continued to advance, and the Tang Xuanjia army was eyeing it.

As long as the Tang infantry in front of them destroys the antlers, the Xuanjia army will attack.

"The rear of the Goguryeo army seems to be in chaos!"

The lord shouted as he watched from above.

Chutian hurriedly ascended to the heights, and sure enough, the dust was rolling behind the Goguryeo army, and it seemed that he was fighting with a group of soldiers and horses.

"Wasn't the eldest grandson Wuji's deviant division repulsed? Who attacked the Goguryeo army? ”

Chu Tian was quite surprised.

However, it doesn't matter who attacked the Goguryeo army, because the rear of the Goguryeo army was attacked, and the time for a decisive victory has come!

Ten thousand arrows were fired at once, and the arrow rain of the Tang Army was like a black cloud covering the sky!

Hundreds of Goguryeo infantry and archers were killed by a rain of arrows!

Goguryeo archers returned fire, and tens of thousands of arrows drew a parabola in the air and landed on the shield of the Tang army.

The two armies clashed, and the Don infantry tried to clear the antlers and clear the way for the cavalry.

The sharp infantry lance pierces the wooden shields of the Goguryeo infantry and stabs the Goguryeo infantry on the opposite side to death!

Platoons of Tang heavy infantry kept moving forward, trying to break the Goguryeo front!

"There is a Don Army behind us!"

"The heavy infantry of the Tang Army is destroying our formation, and the generals in the front are killed no less than ten people!"

"The Tang army on the other side of the river is urgently laying pontoon bridges and preparing to cross the river!"

"The cavalry of the Don Army is ready to attack!"

The Goguryeo army was in chaos, and at the same time it was attacked from three sides by Li Shimin, Li Tao, and Changsun Wuji!

"Etozhi Wende, you lead the legion to block the legion attacking the rear!"

Choi Jae-seon is hysterical and gives his hope to the famous general Eulji Moondeok.

Eji Wende gritted his teeth, he only had the low-level troops put together by the Goryeo lord in his hands, and in the face of the elite Tang army, he had the intention to kill the thief and was powerless.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji led the strange soldiers to kill from the rear, and he followed Li Shimin to fight in the south and north for a long time, and it was easy to lead a group of soldiers and horses to attack the rear of Goguryeo alone.

Goguryeo lacked rejecting horses in the rear, and the Tang cavalry stormed the panicked Goguryeo army in the rear, killing and wounding countless people!

Tang general Xue Wanche held a spear and smashed a Goguryeo foot soldier along the way!

"Dismantle the pontoon bridge of the Goguryeo army and completely destroy the million Goguryeo army!"

A group of Tang troops dismantled the pontoon bridge behind the Goguryeo army and cut off its retreat.

"Li Hu, you lead the Xiliang cavalry to assault!"

Xu Fengnian, the commander of the Sixth Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty, ordered Li Hu of the Western Wei Zhuguo to lead the Western Liang cavalry and other cavalry of the legion to charge.

Li Hu, as Li Shimin's ancestor, is a family of generals, good at cavalry combat, and the Xiliang cavalry is full of aggression under his leadership!

Xu Fengnian has a third-order Western Liang cavalry, but with the support of the historical military general Li Hu, the 1,000 Western Liang cavalry as the vanguard is like a sharp spearhead, breaking through the Goguryeo army!

Li Hu held a ring-headed knife in his hand and kept slashing the Goguryeo soldiers in front of him!

The ringhead knife slashed on the shield, and the iron piece of the shield was struck by the ringhead knife, making a violent collision sound, and sparks flew everywhere!

Xu Fengnian could see that the military merits he had obtained were increasing.

Sneak attack from behind to get more military merit!

Only Xu Fengnian knew what happened during this period.

Changsun Wuji's previous sneak attack was indeed ambushed by the Goguryeo army, but the defeat was the Eastern Han soldiers who changed into the armor and equipment of the Tang army, giving Goguryeo the illusion of the defeat of the Tang army.

However, the main force of the real Tang army took the second trail, went around to the rear, and successfully attacked the Goguryeo army.

The low-ranking soldiers of the Eastern Han lords became bait, and in return, their lords could gain more exploits.

"That Goryeo army has reappeared!"

Xu Fengnian ordered Li Hu to lead the cavalry, followed the Tang army general Xue Wanche to assault, and watched the battle in the rear, after defeating the Goguryeo rear army, the Goryeo lord coalition army arrived under the leadership of Eulzhi Wende, barely blocking the assault Tang army.

"It's this Goryeo army again."

Xu Fengnian could see that Li Hu and Xue Wanche's cavalry were gradually losing their impact, and he couldn't help frowning.

The Goryeo coalition army led by Ulji Mundeok was much stronger than the ordinary Goguryeo army, which brought great resistance to the Tang army.

On the frontal battlefield, the infantry of the Tang Army had already engaged with the Goguryeo armor soldiers, and the crossbowmen were shooting.

The horses and antlers set up by the Goguryeo army were destroyed.

"Xuanjia cavalry, let the Goguryeo people see the Tianwei of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin finally invested in the elite Tang Xuanjia cavalry!

The veteran lieutenant Chi Jingde led the heavy cavalry in iron armor into the battlefield, and this cavalry held a horse lance and black armor to attack.

"Crush the Goguryeo people and drive them into the river to feed the fish!"

Wei Chi Jingde took the lead and led the Xuanjia cavalry to charge!

The heavy hooves of the horses made the ground roar, and the Tang Xuanjia cavalry attracted everyone's attention, this black cavalry was galloping and dusty!

"Kill!"

Wei Chi Jingde easily stabbed the oncoming Goguryeo cavalry!

"Kill!"

The horses of the Tang Xuanjia cavalry are rolling, and everywhere they go, people turn over on their backs!

In the face of the high-ranking Tang heavy cavalry, the Goguryeo army that rejected the horses and was dismantled had no ability to resist.

"Your Majesty, Bi Guogong requests to lead the Turkic cavalry into battle!"

"Exactly."

Li Shimin looked at the huge battlefield below, Wei Chi Jingde's Xuanjia army had torn apart the Goguryeo army, and the Turkic prince and Bi Guogong Ashina Sheer led the Turkic cavalry to attack.

Li's 100,000 Tang troops quickly erected three pontoon bridges to attack the flanks of the Goguryeo army.

Suddenly, Li Shimin saw a white-clothed soldier riding a war horse in and out of the Goguryeo army, killing dozens of Goguryeo soldiers in a row, and he was extremely brave.

"Who's that guy?"

"I don't know, it should be a soldier under the command of the Duke of Qiu."

"If he is alive in this battle, he will be summoned to see me, and he will be rewarded."

"Whoa."

The Tang Army attacked on all fronts, and the Second and Third Army Corps of the Eastern Han Dynasty as reserves were put into battle.

"Li Chengliang, Zu Dashou, it's time for our Liaodong cavalry to attack!"

Ming Guan entered the battle with two generals.

The cavalry from Liaodong County followed the Tang army and slaughtered in all directions.

"Capture the Goguryeo heavy cavalry as much as possible!"

Chu Tian's eyes are now red not for military exploits, but for the heavy cavalry who managed to capture Goguryeo alive.

The Goguryeo heavy cavalry was not very loyal to Goguryeo, and there were excellent war horses, iron armor, horse armor, and the armor system was almost no different from that of the Central Plains.

In other words, capturing a heavy cavalryman is worth dozens of taels of silver or even hundreds of taels of silver!

For Chutian, who lacked heavy cavalry, the Goguryeo heavy cavalry was a small treasury that could walk.
