Chapter Forty-Eight: Fighting for Your Life
The number of pioneer battalions in the early cloud division was somewhat larger than that of the rest of the generals, with five hundred people.
All of them are composed of veterans over the age of thirty in Wannian County, they may not be as brave as those young government soldiers, but they are all people who have lived and died several times on the battlefield, and after rushing into battle, the probability of surviving is much higher than that of young government soldiers.
Five hundred men charged from a wooden bridge one foot two feet wide, because Zhong Kui and gasoline gunpowder bombs were in the lead, they killed them at the first time, and did not continue to stay on the wooden bridge to bear the rain of arrows in vain.
When the five hundred people led by Zhong Kui had been submerged by the Goguryeo army, the cavalry led by Yun Chu also galloped over the wooden bridge, and the war horse in the vest looked like a wild beast at this time, and he hissed and hit the shield, and the shield array could not withstand the impact of a thousand catties of huge objects, and scattered one after another.
And some horses were unlucky, and they were stabbed in the chest by the spear drilled out of the shield array, and although they broke the spear, they fell to the ground.
The jujube red horse in full armor is naturally different from these fools who were stabbed to death by spears, it specifically finds places where there is no spear to hit, and it is very hard, coupled with a height of four feet eight inches at the shoulders, and slender limbs, so that it can carry Yun Chu through the foot at will, and the speed does not decrease.
Yun Chu did not continue to penetrate deep into the Goguryeo army's formation, but after advancing fifty or sixty meters, he began to cut horizontally with the cavalry who were barely following behind, and at present, the most important thing was to destroy the Goguryeo crossbow array and arrow array.
Before the charge, Yun Chu had already looked at it, and in order to be able to cover more wooden bridges, the Goguryeo people deliberately placed crossbow arrays and archers at the front of the military formation.
These long-range attack weapons are the most lethal to the Tang army, and the corpses floating all over the river are caused by these people, even now, crossbow guns and feather arrows are still constantly covering the wooden bridge.
The 500 cavalry that Yun Chu personally waited for finally came out of the Goguryeo army, while the 1,000 cavalry led by Wang Defa and Zhang Donghai continued to go deeper.
The jujube red horse was as fast as lightning, and before it jumped out of the military formation, it went straight to the crossbow array and the group of archers who were close at a distance.
The distance was too close, and the heavy crossbow didn't have time to turn around for a while, so it was killed by Yunchu's cavalry like chopping melons and vegetables.
Twenty heavy crossbows didn't know how many Tang people they had killed just now, Yun Chu and the others took out the oil bombs and smashed them heavily on the heavy crossbow, and then threw out the torches, and burned these murderous weapons.
The rest of the cavalry had already rushed into the archers' positions in the rain of arrows, and when they got closer, the archers had no power to fight back against the all-armored cavalry, which was as fast as the wind.
After slaughtering the Goguryeo long-range weapon position, Yun Chu glanced at the location of Zhong Kui's banner and rushed in that direction with his cavalry.
At this moment, Yun Chu didn't know if he could survive this war, and he also knew that if he wasn't brave at this time, he might look down on himself afterwards.
What wives and children, what fathers and mothers, fathers and elders, and what fame and fortune must be thrown away at this time, and then picked up after this battle is over.
Now, he just wants to fight hard and try to keep himself alive.
Those who died in the battle formation are not necessarily the weak, and those who survive are not necessarily the strong, at this moment, Yun Chu just wants to use his own horse lance, his own horizontal knife, and all his strength to earn a hope of living for himself.
General Ning Yuan's banner has been moving forward bravely, Gao Kan can see it very clearly, Yun Chu has killed the enemy's crossbowmen and archers, at this time, only the soldiers running wildly on the bridge of Yun Chu are the safest and the fastest to advance.
Gao Kan personally beat the war drums, and he very much hoped that this war drum would instill all his courage in the soldiers.
Once these 30,000 people charged across the river, it was his turn to fight for the country again.
At this time, Yun Chu finally felt the power of the horse lance in the thousands of horses, and the horse lance in his hand even became a part of his body and an extension of his arm, this feeling was very wonderful, just like he could control every inch of the horse lance, and even the red tassels flying on the horse lance were under his control.
The red tassel on the horse lance entangled the opponent's horse lance like a poisonous snake, and pulled it horizontally, the opponent's horse lance involuntarily slid outward, at this time, the red tassel left the enemy's horse lance smoothly, so that Yun Chu's horse lance could stab the opponent's throat smoothly.
The sharp head of the horse lance swept left and right, and the neck of the opponent was successfully cut off, and the horse lance slapped hard, and a bloody human head wearing a helmet flew to the side.
The jujube red horse rushed forward again, but Yun Chu's standard-bearer stuck his spear into the head and shouted loudly: "General Dingyuan will behead one of the enemy generals." ”
As soon as the roar was finished, dozens of feathered arrows flew towards him, and the standard-bearer, who had long been accustomed to this kind of treatment, blocked the vital point with his arm and a round shield, and silently endured this round of arrow rain attacks.
Afterwards, more soldiers who were fighting shouted together: "General Dingyuan beheaded a member of the enemy general." ”
The more brave Yun Chu became, the more excited the soldiers under his command became, and they followed the bloody path that Yun Chu had killed, and followed all the way forward.
Yun Chu threw a short spear with all his might, which grazed Zhong Kui's ear and pierced the chest of a Goguryeo man in front of him.
Zhong Kui shouted, carried the corpse on his shoulder, and smashed through the Goguryeo military formation in front of him like a wild bull, so that Yun Chu's war horse could have space to continue to accelerate and open up the battlefield.
At this time, Yun Chu had lost the ability to speak, and his vision was full of fear, madness, or weeping Goguryeo faces, and the horse lance in his hand seemed to come to life, helping him to kill more enemies with minimal effort.
Zhong Kui approached Yun Chu's war horse, relying on the war horse to resist the enemy on one side, but he used his body to protect Yun Chu's rear, and even Yun Chu's standard-bearer who had no war horse followed closely behind Yun Chu, hoping to keep the general's battle flag in sync with the general and point out the direction of progress for the rest of the soldiers.
He was only a hundred steps away from the huge earth-colored Goguryeo flag, but Yun Chu felt that it was very difficult for him to take every step forward.
The Goguryeo soldiers in front of him are becoming more and more difficult to deal with, and the jujube red horse no longer has a way to move coquettishly in the chaotic army, the circle of activities is getting smaller and smaller, and the speed of the war horse is also declining rapidly.
More and more Goguryeo troops dressed in khaki armor were quickly approaching the big banner, and after barely rushing forward for thirty steps, Yun Chu finally found a little gap, pulled out a short spear and threw it in the direction where the banner was.
A terrible scream sounded in that direction, and then the banner quickly retreated.
The standard-bearer who followed behind Yun Chu immediately shouted: "General Dingyuan shoots the enemy chieftain. ”
This time, even Zhong Kui shouted: "General Dingyuan slashed the abyss boys!"
Yun Chu didn't know what he had shot, but the Goguryeo royal army that was originally blocking him was retreating backwards at a speed like a receding tide.
So, Yun Chu shouted loudly, reorganized the army formation, with the cavalry as the head and the foot soldiers as the auxiliary, and chased the banner again and killed it.
Extreme Soul Chaos
When the two armies fought, the most taboo was this kind of nameless retreat, and the Goguryeo people saw their handsome banner retreating in panic, followed by a black Tang army.
The military formation, which was originally very disciplined, was immediately scattered, some people wanted to rescue the marshal, and the other part was busy retreating, and after being rushed by the Tang cavalry, it became a delusion to continue to maintain the military formation.
Gao Kan immediately beat the drum in the back and ordered the whole army to attack, and 100,000 people pounced on the Goguryeo army with overwhelming momentum, and for a while, a row of black waves slapped on the earth-colored Goguryeo people, the tide receded, and the earth-yellow Goguryeo people who were beaten by the tide disappeared, and the black wave rose again, and continued to beat the Goguryeo people behind.
Wave after wave, and when the tide became sparse and black and yellow, the earthy yellow area of the battlefield was dying at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A feather arrow grazed Yun Chu's shoulder and flew out, Yun Chu looked at the source of the lost arrow, and actually saw Jin Yuanru standing on a chariot, right next to Jin Yuanru, there was a Goguryeo man wearing gold armor, Yun Chu saw it very clearly, his short spear was stuck in the guy's leg.
The person who shot this arrow was Jin Yuanru, the lacquer bow in her hand had not been put down, Yun Chu was furious, and pulled out a short spear from the leather bag again, and threw it without thinking about it, but this time the target was not Jin Yuanru, it was still the burning bag wearing golden armor.
The chariot was bumpy, Yun Chu's short spear fell on the standing car, but Jin Feiru screamed, leaned over the golden armor man, and somehow, her armor stomach ruptured, and the blood immediately oozed out, and the golden armor man under her let out a more terrible scream, and when the golden armor man's personal guard pulled Jin Feiru, in the gap in the armor of the golden armor man under her, there was a feather arrow, half a foot into the flesh.
The chariot fled in panic, and a group of all-armored stomach armor soldiers lined up to meet Yun Chu with spears more than a foot long.
Just as Yun Chu was about to organize a shield array to meet the attack, a rapid sound of golden gongs came from behind him.
This is the signal for the withdrawal of troops.
Yun Chu looked up and looked forward, only to find that the tall walls of Jili City were in front of him.
Yun Chu reined in his panting red horse, and those Goguryeo royal soldiers also pointed their spears at Yun Chu, but they were retreating step by step.
Seeing these people enter the city, Yun Chu looked back again, only to see Tang troops standing everywhere with black armor, and on the ground, a thick layer of corpses fell in black and yellow.
It is laid from under the city to the Biliu River.
After leading his subordinates to evacuate from the shooting range of the crossbow arrows in Jili City, Yun Chu looked up at the sky again, only to find that the weather was very good today, the red sun was hanging high, and the sky was blue......
