Chapter 1022: The Enemy of Battle

It was an encounter of unequal strength between the two sides.

The range of the Tang Army's three-eyed guns was about two hundred steps, while the range of the opponent's bow and arrow was only a little more than a hundred steps, that is, between two hundred and one hundred steps, a bloody zone of unilateral slaughter was formed on the battlefield.

The Goguryeo army had to break through this hundred steps in order to reach the front of the Tang army and fight with the Tang army.

And these 100 steps are the hell for many people, the last part of their lives.

The Tang Army's three-eyed guns were fired intensively and uninterruptedly, and the gunpowder was doped with lead and iron pellets, and as soon as they were fired, they were fired in a fan, and a row of firecrackers fired in unison, which was an overwhelming projectile fire, and there was no place to dodge in front of them.

By the time the Goguryeo army charged to the front of the Tang army, the entire army was in tatters, with only a thousand men left, most of whom were wounded.

Rao is like this, the Goguryeo army still used the last strength of his life and fiercely slammed the knife into the front of the Tang army.

When the remnants of the enemy charged to the front, the shield array immediately stepped forward to fill the position, and a row of shields tightly blocked the enemy's halberds.

And from the gap in the shield, a spear and halberd stretched out and stabbed the enemy's body fiercely.

From the engagement to the victory, the Tang army only took a stick of incense for the time before the encounter ended.

The Don army was victorious.

It is not so much a fight between the two armies as a crushing of an advanced civilization against a backward civilization.

When there were no more Goguryeo soldiers standing on the battlefield, the officers and men of the Tang Army erupted in thunderous cheers.

In this battle, 5,000 enemy troops in Goguryeo were completely annihilated, and the Tang army suffered about 100 casualties, which was an indisputable crushing situation.

After the war, Hei Zhi Chang ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, personally walked to the corpse of a Goguryeo general who died in battle, carefully examined it, and found a few corpses of ordinary soldiers, and finally Black Tooth Changzhi sighed.

After the clean-up, the officers and men of the forward battalion returned to the battalion to resume their lives.

At this time, it was already noon, and Li Qinzai was still waiting for news in the tent, and when he heard the scouts report that our army had won a big victory over Goguryeo in the first battle, Li Qinzai's expression was not surprised.

Of course, a big victory is a normal result, and a defeat is appalling.

Not long after, the soldiers of the forward battalion returned to the camp in triumph, and the black tooth often came to the handsome tent to report the victory.

Standing in front of Li Qinzai, the experience of the encounter between the Black Tooth Chang and the 510 General is clear.

Li Qinzai nodded and asked, "How is the combat strength of the Goguryeo army?" ”

Black Tooth Changzhi said without thinking: "Very brave, not the last general will grow the ambition of others, the last general thinks that the soldiers of this country are fierce enemies and cannot be underestimated." ”

Li Qinzai said slowly: "If the officers and soldiers of our army do not have firearms, but use swords and halberds to confront the enemy head-on, not talking about the position or strategy, but just fighting with their lives, what does General Heizhi think will be the winner?" ”

Hei Tooth Changzhi thought for a while and said, "Victory and defeat are four six, Goguryeo is four, and Datang is six." ”

Li Qinzai was slightly moved.

He didn't doubt the words of Hei Zhi Changzhi, who had read history books in his previous life, knew very well that the emperors of the three dynasties of the Sui and Tang dynasties had failed to destroy Goguryeo in several expeditions, and each time they had to retreat.

Including Taizong Li Shimin, who had no defeat in his life, personally conquered, and failed to conquer the country.

Later generations summed up a lot of reasons, political, climatic, strategic, and objective reasons, and found a lot of them, in short, most of them were "non-war crimes".

However, Li Qinzai felt that the combat strength of the Goguryeo army was definitely an important reason that could not be ignored.

Goguryeo is mountainous and there is not much land suitable for farming, so the common people in the country are struggling to survive all year round.

Poor mountains and bad waters foster a fierce and martial spirit, and if this kind of fierce spirit is used on the battlefield, it will be a nightmare for the enemy.

Hei Zhi Changzhi sighed: "In today's battle, although our army suffered very few casualties, I have to say that the firearms were so sharp that after the enemy charged, thousands were put down at a distance of a hundred steps, and there were only more than a thousand survivors. ”

"Knowing that he had no chance of winning, he rushed forward to die, but none of the remaining more than 1,000 enemy troops retreated and fled, and he still rushed to the front of our army without fear of death, and used all his strength to crack the last knife before being killed by our soldiers in front of the battle."

"Such a brave and fearless army, the last general thinks that Li Shuai should be taken seriously, and the enemy must not be underestimated, otherwise it will be a big disaster for our army."

Li Qinzai nodded slowly, today sent the forward battalion to test the enemy, it is not important whether he can annihilate the enemy army, Li Qinzai needs to wait for an answer, that is, the judgment of the generals under his command on the combat strength of the Goguryeo army.

Now that Li Qinjae has waited for the answer, he has paid more and more attention to the enemy country of Goguryeo.

In addition to the forward battalion, Wang Fangyi, Liu Renyuan, Pei Zhengqing and other generals were assigned tasks, and in this land with a radius of twenty miles, Li Qinzai laid a net of heaven and earth, just for this Goguryeo army of 5,000 people.

However, this Goguryeo army, which would rather die than flee, was very happy to confess under the swords and halberds and firearms of the forward battalion, and Li Qinzai's other arrangements did not work.

Hei Tooth Changzhi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "There is one more matter, the last general needs to report to Li Shuai." ”

"Say."

"When the last general was cleaning the battlefield, he found that many of the 5,000-strong Goguryeo army were remnants of the original Baekje, and the last general looked through their armor and stomachs, all of which were the costumes of the former Baekje country."

"In other words, when Baekje was destroyed, countless remnants fled to Goguryeo, and after Goguryeo took them in, they incorporated Qingzhuang into the army, and in just a few years, these Baekje remnants were also like the Goguryeo people, who were not afraid of death on the battlefield."

Li Qinzai was stunned for a long time, his expression became more and more solemn, and after a long time, he said slowly: "General Black Tooth, what you said today is very useful to me, and it is useful to our entire army, thank you." ”

Hei Tooth Changzhi hurriedly clenched his fists: "The last general eats the Lu of the Tang Dynasty and fulfills the loyalty of the ministers, which should be shared, and I dare not be Li Shuai's thanks." ”

Li Qinzai sighed: "This Goguryeo army of 5,000 people is just their vanguard, not far from here, and their main army of more than 20,000, judging from today's battle, fighting with their main force is not as easy as I imagined." ”

"Everything is at the disposal of Li Shuai, and the last general and the forward battalion are all obedient."

On the rugged mountain road, Xue Ne was staggering along with four of his men.

The mountain road is narrow and muddy, it is difficult for mules and horses to walk, and it is impossible for people to ride on mules and horses, and it is easy to take people and mules to fall off the cliffs.

Xue Ne and the others had been walking for two whole days, and he had never experienced such a hard work, and his emotions were about to collapse at this moment, and he slapped himself hard after walking a few steps, hating why he suddenly had convulsions and wanted to sneak out of the camp.

What kind of bird merit, is it not good to make money with An'an's share?

What if you go home and get pumped by your daddy? Does he dare to smoke himself to death? As long as you can't die, you will be a good man after the injury, and you can swagger and use the money you earn to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and be a fresh but unrefined rich and noble man.

Therefore, when I decided to go out of the camp to find an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, what medicine did I take wrong at that time?
