Li Jing's 6,000 cavalry is wandering around, and his side has a relatively large responsibility, don't look at it now, they have nothing to do.

Xin Shixiong and Mai Tiecane were responsible for fighting the two fortified cities of Beilu and Wugu, while Li Jing was responsible for wiping their buttocks in the early stage.

How many people the two of them leaked out, they all had to be solved by Li Jing's 6,000 people, and they had to beware of Gao Jianwu and Zhong Murowei.

He also had to calculate the time for Yu Wenshu to go south, and then make further temporary arrangements, and when he received the military report from Mai Tiecane, he chose to surround rather than fight without hesitation.

Because Yuwenshu's main force had already been pulled out of Liaodong City, Mai Tiezhu did not have enough time to take the Black Bone City.

He and Wei Xuanbu, the two bodyguards around the leader (Yu Wenshu), were responsible for opening the way, and Li Jing was worried that the leader would not go well, and he would go to the front to explore the way.

"Tell Manager Mai not to think about fighting black bones, hurry up and build a defensive line, seize the dock and build a pontoon bridge."

There is a large wharf on the Love River outside the Black Bone City, and this wharf and the domestic city wharf in the upper reaches of the Yalu River are the two largest transportation hubs in Goguryeo.

The Love River goes all the way south, joins the Yalu River, and the current Yalu River, called Yalu River, runs east-west, and lies on the way through which the Sui army goes to Pyongyang, with a total length of 795 kilometers, and you can't go around.

Fortunately, the river is not as wide as the Liao River, that is, five or six hundred meters, and it will be very convenient to set up a pontoon bridge, and to seize the wharf is also to grab boats and facilitate crossing the river.

The Yalu River has a four-month freeze period every year, that is, from December to April, which is the Gregorian calendar, and according to the Great Sui calendar, it is about November to March.

You can cross the river on foot during the frozen period, but there is no way, Dasui does not have the conditions for Layue to send troops.

The river is melting, but you can't see a single boat, it's all docked at the docks, which are heavily guarded.

The person in charge of fighting the dock was Zhu Longsheng, a fierce general under Shi Wanbao, who was still more than 20 miles away from the dock, and had already encountered an armored cavalry of thousands of people.

And he had only four thousand men in his hands.

Let's do it, you can't run, the armored cavalry is the one who rushes into battle, and you run even more completely.

"Brigades lined up, drumming!"

On the plain, Zhu Longsheng issued a military order, urgently listing a large circular formation, with platoon fighters and pikemen on the periphery, circle after circle, and inside were bows and arrows and baggage, this formation was to guard against heavy cavalry.

The heavy cavalry breaks through the formation, like an awl, straight into a point, once it breaks through, it is a wandering strangulation, and the lethality of the infantry is very great.

Zhu Longsheng's formation was relatively simple, because of the rush of time, the heavy cavalry in front of him had already begun to accelerate in their direction, and it was like a sharp knife plunging straight in.

When the cavalry rushes into formation, the formation will shrink into a sharp triangle, just to avoid the killing of arrows, but also to clarify the impact point and avoid dispersion.

The rumbling sound of iron hooves was getting closer and closer, and Zhu Longsheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Shoot the arrows!"

With a command, the longbow fired in unison, shooting at the head of the enemy, dealing with the charging formation, that is, hitting the head, disrupting the iron cavalry at the head, and the opponent's formation will also be chaotic.

Because there are horses, once the horse falls, it will implicate a large area behind, so there has always been a rule in the army, shooting the head horse, not according to one head, but according to three heads.

How do you remember it? Look at the arrows, everyone's arrows will be engraved with their own name, so that they can be rewarded for meritorious deeds in the future.

You certainly won't engrave someone else's name, just like the class votes for class president, as a candidate, you will definitely not vote for other candidates.

After a few rounds of shooting, the front troops of the enemy army were already on their backs, and they were also very confused, only hearing that the Sui army had divine weapons, how could they have thought that armor breaking was so powerful?

As long as you are shot, you will be pierced, whether it is a human armor or a vest.

This can't be fought.

So the heavy cavalry hurriedly divided the troops, and the rear was divided into three more units, which rushed towards the Sui army's circular formation in three different directions.

Because they also saw that there were not many archers in the Sui army.

Yes, it's not much, just five hundred longbowmen, that's how far away you are, if you get closer, and crossbow arrows.

The elite army of the Great Sui who entered the hinterland of Goguryeo this time, even the platoon bearers, were equipped with short crossbows, and the longbowmen also hung short crossbows on their waists, that is to say, the 4,000 people of Zhu Longsheng, everyone had a crossbow.

Of course, less than half of them can really shoot with their hands free, but this half is enough to drink a pot on the other side.

When Goguryeo's armored cavalry came into range, an overwhelming rain of arrows shot out as a dense sound of machine sounded.

A leading cavalryman, the horse was hit by an arrow in the head, and the entire war horse flipped upside down, rolled several times, and smashed on the shield of the Sui army's platoon, killing two soldiers in an instant.

The sound of thumping and violent impact was piercing, and one after another war horses crashed into the Sui army's military formation, and the bright red blood seemed to be splashed.

The two armies instantly entered a white heat.

Sharp spears pierced the armor of the horses, and fierce hooves trampled on the bodies of the guards, and the sound of bone cracking, armor breaking, and screams overlapped.

The fierce battle for two full hours ended with a crushing defeat and retreat of Goguryeo.

The plains were in shambles, with corpses strewn strew.

Zhu Longsheng was excited, if he had encountered a heavy cavalry in the wilderness like this before, his life would have been basically half explained, but since he had refined weapons, his combat effectiveness had increased by several grades.

His losses this time were not light, more than 400 people were killed, and 6 or 700 were wounded, but the expressions on everyone's faces were the same as his, and they were very excited.

Because the result was beyond their expectations, although when they were in the big camp, they also adapted to the power of refining weapons, but they did not fight with heavy cavalry with real swords and guns like now.

Although many people died, those who survived had accumulated military merits, and their morale had soared.

When marching and fighting, morale is very important, which determines who is the first to defeat you and the enemy, and the morale is strong, even if the battle damage is serious, it can still resist, and if the morale is weak, it is easy to form a rout and escape, so as to be defeated.

Every unit that goes out to fight will have a meritorious service in the army, which is specially for soldiers to record merits, but they have to bring the word "in the army", that is, temporary, because the real meritorious service examination is in the official department.

Cleaning up the battlefield is for the sake of meritorious service, and those who survive will calculate their own merits in their hearts.

According to military merits, the Great Sui was richly rewarded, and it was generally divided into official positions, wealth, women, and slaves.

Among them, official positions, including lords, are the first titles, which have particularly high requirements for military merit and even higher requirements for origin, and basically have nothing to do with ordinary soldiers.

The requirements for military merit and origin are weaker than those for knighthood.

Then the one who is really suitable for ordinary soldiers is the eighth lieutenant.

In the third year of the great cause, the eight lieutenants after the restructuring are the six grades of Jianjie Wei, the sixth rank of Fenwu Lieutenant, the seventh rank of Xuanhui Lieutenant, the seventh rank of Suide Lieutenant, the eighth rank of Huairen Lieutenant, the eighth rank of Shouyi Lieutenant, the ninth rank of Flattery Lieutenant, and the ninth rank of Lixin Lieutenant.

The ninth-class lord plus the eighth lieutenant, this is the seventeenth rank of the loose official, the loose official is also called the rank officer, there is no real position, the one with a position is called the ministry officer, if you want to change from a loose official to a ministry officer, it is mainly to assess two aspects: door seniority, life.

The qualifications of the family depend on your qualifications, and the birth depends on who your parents are, as well as the relationship between the concubines.

That is to say, a non-commissioned officer from a civilian background wants to mix with a ministry official, which will not work at the level of the law, but it is not that there are no civilians who mix with a petty official, and there are even higher.

Then it depends on the backstage, if your backer is Yang Guang, you can be a wheat iron rod.

So ordinary soldiers, how can they be a big tree? The main thing is that it can play.

The higher the combat merits, the generals above will take a fancy to you, and you will be trained under your command and introduced as a confidant.

So what is the theory of military exploits? There are two main aspects, collective honor and individual honor.

First of all, the collective honor, based on the number of soldiers on both sides and the quality of equipment, is divided into battle, middle and bottom battle.

Hit less and more for the battle, the two sides are balanced for the middle formation, and the more strikes and less for the bottom battle.

Killing more than 40 percent of the captured enemy soldiers is the upper capture, more than 20% is the middle capture, and one is the lower capture.

Formation and gain should be combined and merit should be judged according to "turning."

On the battle, it is five turns, on the middle of the battle, it is four turns, on the battle is three turns, on the middle of the battle is two turns, in the middle of the battle, for one turn, in the middle of the battle, there is no turn.

Why didn't it turn? You're on par with the enemy before you killed the captured enemy and still want credit?

After the Great Sui was restructured in the ranks, the original Shangzhu State, Zhu State, and Yitong Three Divisions were gone, but before this expedition to Goguryeo, in order to make up for the twelve turns, Yang Guang added the fourth rank of Shangzhu State, Zhu State, Shanghu Army and Protector Army to the eighth lieutenant, which was specially used to canonize the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions.

It is equivalent to giving hope to the soldiers, which means that as long as you fight well, the Shangzhu Kingdom of the second grade is waiting for you.

Zhu Longsheng 4,000 foot soldiers, fighting Goguryeo's nearly 5,000 heavy cavalry, this is a battle, because the strength and types of troops are not superior, although the ordnance is dominant, but the refined ordnance has not been announced to the public, so it is not counted in the advantage.

After clearing the battlefield, 800 enemies were killed and 600 were captured.

Then according to the battle victory, it is four turns, that is to say, Zhu Longsheng, this kid, can be mixed with the eight-grade Huairen Lieutenant at the moment, and he himself is the hussar general of the Hussar Mansion and has an actual position, but he must also be rare Huairen Lieutenant.

Because of Wu Xun, he can atone for his sins, and if this kid commits something in the future, this honor can give him a top.

It is equivalent to one more life, and if it is mixed into the Shangzhu Kingdom, it can give several more lives.

Collective honor, return to the general, individual honor, look at the number of soldiers killed, this has to be accumulated.

100 people for four turns, 70 people for three turns, 50 people for two turns, 20 people for one turn, 10 people, this is as it should be.

Because Yang Guang declared to the outside world that the Great Sui Guards are ten with one, so killing ten is your normal level.

But you can save this thing, kill ten this time, kill ten more next time, isn't this just a turn? One turn can be mixed with the Lixin Lieutenant from the ninth grade, which can top you for the crime of robbery and theft.

And this time, in Zhu Long's promotion army, there were two guards, and they were enough, why, because they shot the head horse, the head horse of the enemy army, one top three.

If you shoot seven horses in one go, it's all right away.

Seeing that the enemy's heavy cavalry troops were defeated so smoothly, Zhu Longsheng floated, ordered all the prisoners to be killed, cut off the heads to build a Jingguan, and the wounded soldiers returned to the north, and he continued to take the rest to the Aihe Wharf.

He wanted more credit. (End of chapter)
