Chapter 1000: Victory in the First Battle
There's a reward for everyone.
Li Qinzai's military order was conveyed to the whole army, and the officers and men thundered with joy, the sound shook the sky, and the morale of the army went up at once.
It's the same war, and there is a big difference between having a reward and not having a reward.
The soldiers are not so conscious, and they are actually willing to serve the country and the king, but what they are most looking forward to is related to personal glory and wealth.
Either make meritorious contributions on the battlefield and make a wife and son, or rob the enemy country and get some money.
Now that the coach has ordered the payment of money, won't the road be wider.
Five hundred wen is not a decimal number, according to the current price level of Datang, this money is enough for the family to live a year or two steadily.
The coach is so generous, how can the soldiers under his command be unwilling to die for him?
Li Qinzai sat in the tent, listening to the cheers of the soldiers outside the tent, and his cheeks twitched a few times.
Feeling like your body is being hollowed out......
It wasn't Xiao Yaga who did it, it was the soldiers of the whole army who did it.
The money that had just been extorted from Quan Xiancheng had not been handled yet, and it was sent out in a blink of an eye.
Although this money was originally extorted by Li Qinzai for the soldiers, although the most basic bottom line of the coach is not to drink the blood of the soldiers......
But the heartache after the money is given out cannot be concealed.
At the moment, the trumpets whimpered, and the soldiers came out of the tents and assembled in the open field.
The crashing sound of the armor stomach of the weapon knocked on Li Qinzai's heart.
Jingle, that's the sound of money falling on the ground......
After the soldiers assembled, they walked out of the gate under the reprimand of the generals and drove towards Cangyan City.
Li Qinzai put on his armor, rode on a horse, and waited for the soldiers to leave the camp before leading his troops out of the camp in a hurry.
The scouts were still rushing back and forth, reporting to Li Qinzai on the military situation on the front.
The enemy troops outside Cangyan City also learned of the movements of Li Qinzai's army, and were urgently mobilizing troops and horses and lined up outside the southern city.
Li Qinzai was not surprised, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were mobilized, and it was impossible to hide the enemy's army, so from before arriving in Cangyan City, Li Qinzai did not deliberately hide the traces of the army.
Thousands of soldiers and horses may be able to achieve a surprise effect, but with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it is basically impossible to engage in any sneak attack tactics.
With such a large army, every move must be closely monitored by enemy scouts. In addition to the two armies fighting head-on, there are not many tactical strategies that can be operated, and Zhuge Liang has to be honestly lined up when he is reborn.
Fortunately, the firearms of the Tang army occupied an absolute advantage on the battlefield, and Li Qinzai was not worried about defeat.
An hour later, the army arrived five miles outside Cangyan City.
Before the forward battalion of the Black Tooth Changzhi could line up, they heard shouts of killing in the distance.
The commander of the enemy army was not stupid, not only waited for the Tang army to come, but also decided to take the initiative to attack while the Tang army had not yet lined up the formation, trying to crush the scattered Tang army.
On the plain outside the city, I saw the yellow sand rolling, thousands of Goguryeo soldiers and horses rushed towards the Tang army's forward battalion, the yellow sand faintly saw the sword and halberd shining, accompanied by scattered arrows fell, and even a small number of cavalry on the left and right flanks were bypassing the front and outflanking the Tang army's forward battalion from the side.
Hei Tooth Changzhi is a battle-hardened general, and the reason why Li Qinzai let him lead the forward battalion is because he knew the life and deeds of Hei Tooth Changzhi in his previous life.
He is a rare famous general in the history of the Tang Dynasty, and several of his victories recorded in history are basically raid tactics with leading the army.
For the enemy's active surprise attack, Hei Fang Changzhi was not flustered, and when the enemy was still charging, he ordered the forward battalion to divide 1,000 soldiers and horses to quickly form a formation.
In an instant, a thousand soldiers and horses were divided into three rows, and the three-eyed guns were aimed at the enemy troops charging directly in front of them.
The other 2,000 soldiers and horses of the forward battalion quickly turned around and lined up in three rows facing the left and right flanks.
As the enemy approached the range of the Three-Eyed Gun, the eyes of the Black Tooth Changzhi stared at the enemy troops who were rushing from three sides, and suddenly shouted: "The whole battalion listens to the order, release!" ”
There was a loud bang, followed by a neighing of horses, and the enemy troops on three sides were put down in large areas.
"Put it again!"
There was another loud bang, and after the smoke cleared, countless enemy troops fell in front, being ruthlessly trampled by the robes behind, and the corpses of men and horses became obstacles to the enemy's charge, and the momentum of the charge gradually slowed down.
After seeing the power of the Tang Army's three-eyed guns, as the momentum of the charge slowed down, the morale of the enemy army also fell.
There was disbelief in everyone's eyes, and they couldn't imagine why the other party could not move, but just lift a black iron gadget, and after a loud bang and a puff of gunsmoke, he could kill a man two hundred paces away without much effort.
Even a long-range weapon such as a bow and arrow is visible after being shot, but the weapons of the Tang Army have no trace at all, and countless lives are harvested with a loud bang.
Such a weapon is simply a divine punishment, and the magic weapon used by the legendary immortals is nothing more than that.
The contest between advanced and backward weapons is, after all, like being crushed by the wheels of history, and no matter how hard they struggle, the laggards will be crushed under the wheels, crushed to pieces, and will not be able to turn a blind eye, and their eyes will be full of incomprehension and ignorance and desolation until death.
At this moment, the Tang army is crushing the Goguryeo army, relying on the weapons in their hands.
Even if the Goguryeo army took advantage of the Tang army's lack of time to line up and take the lead in attacking, even if they took the lead in taking the lead.
However, the Tang army only scribbled down three rows of arrays, and smashed the Goguryeo army's pre-emption.
After three rounds of gunfire, the charging Goguryeo army showed signs of retreat.
Not only did the Goguryeo army on the front suffer heavy casualties, but the cavalry on the left and right flanks suffered even worse casualties, and the cavalry was one man and one horse, and the target was much larger than the infantry.
Once the front row falls down during the charge, it will be difficult for the cavalry behind to maintain the momentum of the charge, and the firearms of the Tang army will not be polite to them.
Round after round without interruption, before the cavalry could rush to the front of the formation, the left and right flanks were basically killed and wounded.
Seeing that the morale of the enemy army was about to collapse, and the enemy forces on the left and right flanks had basically been resolved, Heiya Tsuneyuki decisively ordered the officers and men of the forward battalion to reline themselves and slowly advance facing the front.
As a result, the array of the Tang army became more and more calm, strictly following the drill military code, and moving forward while loading ammunition.
When Liu Renyuan led 5,000 soldiers and horses to the outside of Cangyan City and listed the Chinese army's position on the plain, the forward battalion of the Black Tooth Changzhi had already routed the attacking enemy army.
After a rapid sound of gold, the enemy retreated like a tide, they turned around and ran in panic, throwing away their armor for fear of being killed by the Tang army, and they didn't even care about the wounded robes, they threw down the grief and howling robes, and quickly scattered in all directions.
As soon as the Tang army's Chinese army arrived, the besieging enemy to the south of Cangyan City had dispersed, leaving a blank area.
