Li Jing's 6,000 cavalry, Su Lie's 6,000 cavalry, plus Xue Zuo's 5,000 foot armor, this is already 18,000.

On the bank of the Sashui River, the company camp was burned, and Yu Sushi was defeated, forcing him to abandon the camp and flee south, and Li Jing's army also suffered 2,000 casualties.

The wounded soldiers were temporarily left, and Li Jing did not rest, and directly led the remaining soldiers and horses to go straight to the direction of Gao Dayang's main force.

Give him 6,000 men, and he will not dare to fight, but now 16,000, he will dare to fight.

Historically, Li Jing's 3,000 cavalry dared to go to Dingxiang to fight the main force of Jieli.

The horn that Wei Xuan heard on the top of the mountain was that Xiao Shilian and Yang Yuanqing under Li Jing took advantage of the dark moon and high wind to crush the troops behind the palace of Gao Dayang's 100,000 army, and the grain and grass were ignited, causing Gao Dayang to adjust the military formation and transfer the armored cavalry to the rear.

A ranger evaded the enemy line, rushed into the camp, and went straight to the top of the hill to report the military situation.

"Manager Li led his troops to rescue, the fire in the distance, that is, the enemy's baggage was ignited, Xue Zuo under the command of Manager Mai is rushing here with all his might, Manager Li hopes that Manager Wei can reorganize the army and fight the enemy vanguard with Xue Zuo."

Wei Xuan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "How many people are there in Xue Zuo?" ”

Ranger said: "Five thousand foot armor, eighty chariots." ”

Wei Xuan's eyes narrowed, and after unfolding the map and staring at it for a long time, he pointed to a place above and said:

"You take the map and go to see Xue Zuo quickly, and order him to line up here, and line up all the chariots in front to prevent the heavy cavalry from breaking the formation, and I will reorganize the troops and horses and meet him."

After receiving the order, the ranger changed to a new horse and immediately left.

At present, outside the camp, there are traces of enemy troops everywhere, but the momentum of their attack on the fortress is not as fierce as before.

Wei Xuan has only more than 3,000 people in his hands, and it is undoubtedly very risky to go out of the village now.

But staying here will definitely die, and if he can break out, there may be a glimmer of life, so he has no choice.

"Command the soldiers, reinforcements to rescue, quickly reorganize the army, and break through with me."

Only by letting the soldiers know that reinforcements are coming, they dare to go out, otherwise Wei Xuan will already be unable to command, and if he encounters such a big defeat, if he still forcibly imposes military law, the mutiny is just around the corner.

Laicheng's physical strength was exhausted, and he was supported by two soldiers and walked to the foot of the mountain.

At the same time, Li Jing personally led 3,000 light cavalry, only three miles away from the camp, constantly harassing the enemy's troops attacking the village, relieving the pressure on Wei Xuan's village.

Dong Chun had already turned his face with Yuwenshu, and was almost dealt with by Yuwenshu's military law and cut with a knife.

Because their main force finally found that what they were chasing all the way turned out to be a luring team, the key is that they have not caught up, and they have fled into the mountains to the east.

Several captured prisoners, after interrogation, Dong Chun exploded in anger.

Why did I fight the main force of Pyongyang and chase 5,000 people so far? Let the main force of the family be under my nose and go to fight Yu Zhongwen?

So in front of so many generals, he scolded Yu Wenshu and was tied up by Yu Wenshu.

Yin Shishi also knew that something was wrong now: "Grand Commander, please go downstream quickly, if Commander Yu loses, our army will lose the power to attack." ”

Yuwen Shu said in a deep voice: "Now that we have come here, Wei Xuan is on the other side, if you don't save him at this time, will you watch him die?" Wherever we cross the river, we will cross the river by ourselves, and we will cross the river from here. ”

His decision is very correct, it has come to this point, and saving Yu Zhongwen is no longer allowed in time.

Moreover, they have already found out that there is the main force of the enemy army on the other side, and they are the main force.

Yu Wenshu's consolation envoy with the army is Yu Shiji, the favorite minister of the favored ministers, and Yu Shiji also believes that the river should be crossed from here.

So the army sprang into action, cutting down trees and erecting pontoon bridges.

And the 12,000 people of Chen Ling's department under the command of Yuwenshu took the lead in crossing the river from the pontoon bridge that Wei Xuan had already built.

The big attack around the south bank of the dam for nearly 100 miles was disturbed three days later, as the main force of Yuwenshu successfully crossed the river, the momentum of the decisive battle was directly full.

This is Zuo Yiwei, don't look at the fact that there are only 36,000 people.

The soldiers of Wei Xuanbu who were defeated and fled were also gathering here.

The earth-shattering war drums were like thunder in the sky, and the largest battle of the expedition so far was unfolded on the plain between Yalushui and Sashui.

What Yuwen Shu put out was the Wuhou Bagua Array.

The Chinese army is in the middle, in front, for the heavenly array, snake pan, cloud array, the main will be Chen Ling, the left and right are the flying dragon, tiger wings, the main will be Wei Xuan, the Yin Shishi, the rear is the wind array, bird Xiang, the ground array, the main general Qiu He.

Twenty-four rangers, wandering on both wings, the main general Luo Rong, and the deputy general Li Jing.

The whole large array is a large array and a small array, taking the meaning of the six lines of "Zhou Yi", with a total of sixty-four small arrays.

Yu Wenshu sat in the Chinese army, and in front of him were hundreds of flag officers.

"Report! The enemy's heavy cavalry began to charge into battle, visually measuring more than 10,000 people. ”

Yu Wenshu nodded and said: "Order: Zhao Kai, Yang Yuanqing, Su Lie, Guo Chi, Yang Hui, and Ling Hucan ride in six ways, maneuver on both wings, wait for the enemy to enter the battle, and annihilate him left and right." ”

As soon as the order was issued, the six-way rangers, a total of 8,000 people, who had been waiting under the horses, got on their horses one after another, and after leaving the military formation, they formed an inverted figure of eight and expanded to the two wings.

If the enemy successfully enters the battle with heavy cavalry, they will form an encirclement in the rear, which is actually to block the support of the enemy army, so that the front can eat the enemy who has fallen into the formation.

On the Goguryeo side, seeing the Sui cavalry rushing out from the east and west, two light cavalry were also sent to drive them away.

Cavalry like them, which are mainly used for strategic cover and response, will not easily start a full-scale battle even if they are killed, because the generals did not let them fight.

So what to do? It's the limit pull.

They need to carry out tactical arrangements, not blindly meet and fight.

Directly ahead, more than 10,000 armored cavalry, first marched slowly, and when they entered the impact distance, the speed would increase, and in the last 100 meters, it was the stage of charging into battle.

The enemy and our cavalry cruising in both directions will not harass them, because everyone has their own tasks.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves sounded, and the surging rush of thousands of horses made the earth seem to tremble.

"Bow one, full bow!"

"Bow and arrow two, full bow!"

"Three bows, full bows!"

"Put!"

With a command, a rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun was shot into the air, and then countless arcs were drawn, and they were thrown towards the heavy cavalry army not far away.

There was a bang, a clanging bell, and all kinds of chaotic sounds filled the four fields.

Bows and arrows have limited lethality against high-speed moving objects, especially if the enemy has not yet reached an effective distance for armor piercing.

The armor-piercing effect of refining arrow clusters depends on the range, forty-five meters is the best, but the distance of forty-five meters is in the blink of an eye for cavalry charging at high speed.

If you want to get the most out of the bow and arrow killing, the platoon at the front of the formation must resist.

"Block!"

At the sound of the order, the three columns of platoons standing at the forefront suddenly rushed forward, the large shields in their hands covering most of their bodies, revealing only their spears, and the soldiers pounced on the enemy's fully armored heavy cavalry with their flesh and blood.

Clanging, clanging.

The mournful neighing of the war horses, the wild roar in the mouths of the soldiers, the sound of gold and iron intertwined, and the rumbling war drums in the rear, the battle entered a white heat.

The bows and arrows from the rear kept throwing arrows, and the crossbowmen were looking at the gaps and secretly casting cold arrows.

Heavy crossbows were shot into the Goguryeo heavy cavalry formation like cannonballs, and the lethality was amazing.

Seeing that the heavy cavalry had already entered the battle, Yang Yuanqing shouted: "Sons and daughters come with me." ”

He was the first to turn his horse's head and gallop back, and behind him were thousands of cavalry stretching for hundreds of meters.

He's going to siege the battle.

However, the Goguryeo cavalry, who was responsible for driving it, did not come to see the play, but directly changed direction and walked side by side with Yang Yuanqing's troops.

Tear, or tear.

Su Lie and Yang Yuanqing's task was to block the back road of the heavy cavalry entering the battle and resist and support the enemy army.

The cavalry against them was to ensure the effective connection between the heavy cavalry and the rear and tear up the space.

Just like playing chess, they all have their own tasks, as well as their own areas of control.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gao Dayang ordered, and the pikemen of the eight phalanxes began to slowly advance towards the Sui army.

The spearmen of Goguryeo were not quite the same as those of the Great Sui, and their guns were longer, about the same as the spears of horses.

But the wood was not good, so much so that most of the barrels were not straight, and the heads were short.

However, this thing is a big threat to the light horseman, because he can stab people and horses from a long distance, but because the gun is not straight, the accuracy will be poor.

As soon as Goguryeo's side moved, Yuwenshu, who received the news, ordered the six-way rangers to retreat, and the heavenly array and the cloud array in front each divided 3,000 foot soldiers, which were mixed and matched by platoon players, sword and axe hands, crossbowmen, and long snatchers, and the two wings were roundabout to outflank.

And Li Jing led 5,000 heavily armored cavalry, waiting for an opportunity to charge.

There is a saying about this opportunity, which means that if you have a chance, you will go up, and if you don't have a chance, Li Jing will do it himself.

The two armies faced each other, especially in a general battle with such a large number of people, and the commanders of both sides would be careful every step.

Just like two people playing against each other, it is impossible to start a large-scale fight until the real opportunity appears.

Yuwen Shu Department plus Li Jing Weixuan, there are already more than 50,000 people, Pei Xingyan under Li Jing is not here, he took 4,000 heavy horses away.

And the enemy army is nearly 100,000.

This battle not only considers the strategic planning of the commanders of both sides, but also the execution quality of their own generals, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and the degree of sophistication.

Yuwen Shu dares to fight more with less, and he faces off head-on, relying on the quality and equipment of the soldiers.

The children of Guanzhong plus refined weapons, according to Yang Guang, this is called an invincible opponent all over the world.

The first contact between the two sides was temporarily silenced with the withdrawal of troops by Goguryeo Myeongjin.

Qiu He, who was in charge of the palace, was already arranging for soldiers to build barracks and improvised fortifications, and the meeting between the two sides this time was destined to be a protracted battle.

In the direction of the black bone, Yu Zhongwen, who was abandoned, was completely caught in the flank, leaving him with only one choice, to retreat north. (End of chapter)
