Chapter 644: War

Bang!

With the thunderous drum resounding between heaven and earth, endless tragedy and majestic momentum swept out between heaven and earth, and there was a feeling of black clouds pressing the city, and at this moment, the bright sunshine between heaven and earth, as well as the blue sky, seemed to be affected.

It's starting to get a little darker.

"The Northwest Commander is starting to move, get ready. ”

Yuan Tianzhi's gaze swept between heaven and earth, and naturally he also felt the evil aura coming to his face, and also saw that the Northwest Imperial Army began to mobilize troops and horses on a large scale, and his face showed a thick solemnity, and a little cold, and with his order, the black order flag used to pass the order behind him also danced tightly.

Rumble!

The sergeants who held the heavy shield armor began to advance one after another, like a slowly moving mountain, giving people a feeling of invincibility, and the earth also showed a slight tremor as they went.

These heavy shields were brought to them by the arsenal in Chang'an City, whether it was the material, the weight, or the degree of hardness, they were not comparable to ordinary heavy shields.

In addition, the outside of this heavy shield is also poured with a lot of sharp iron thorns, when the cavalry hits on it, it will directly receive the maximum blow, and under this heavy shield, there are some iron thorns specially used for fixing, which can be inserted upside down on the ground to resist the impact of the cavalry.

This is the most solid defense against cavalry.

The reason why Yuan Tianzhi used this kind of heavy shield as soon as he came up was also a helpless thing, the Goguryeo army on the opposite side had 200,000, and the cavalry he could fight with was only about 20,000, and most of the troops were given to Luo Ming, who was used to deal with the Aberley savages in the north.

Such a little cavalry, even if it has absolute lethality, far exceeding the combat effectiveness of Goguryeo, there is no way to really confront the other party head-on, so they can only choose the means of defense and attrition, and then choose the right opportunity to give them a thunderous blow.

Crunch!

Crunch!

When the heavy shield armor soldiers gradually moved and formed in front, the artillery in the rear also began to be pushed forward, and the huge mechanical gears rolled, making a sour and low friction sound, and the deep marks on the ground were also left, which looked a little shocking.

As the artillery was prepared, the pitch-black chamber was gradually adjusted, aiming at the direction from which the Goguryeo army came, and the ammunition was quickly carried over, and the torches were gradually ignited, with a more cold and low momentum permeating.

Then there was the musket battalion, which leaned close behind the heavily armored shield guards, using their defenses to protect themselves, and then prepared their muskets for the attack and consumption of the cavalry that rushed to the nearest place.

Knock knock!

As everything was gradually prepared, in the farther distance, where the Goguryeo army was located, there was a more violent sound of drums, and the sound was extraordinarily grandiose, and there was an indescribable evil aura that erupted more irrepressibly between heaven and earth.

Bang!

On the ground, a deafening roar was heard from the flat ground, and a team of tens of thousands of cavalry split from the formation of the Goguryeo army, and then began to gallop in the direction where the Liaodong army was located, and the distance between the two sides was enough for the Goguryeo cavalry to exert their speed to the fastest!

The speed is getting faster and faster, and the mighty team, like a long winding dragon, looks particularly fierce and fierce, almost very quickly, and it enters the range of the artillery of the Liaodong Army.

"Put!"

The bannermen held the black banners high, observing the distance between them, and when the cavalry team had just entered the firing range, they gave the order directly.

Bang!

Bang!

The deafening sound of the explosion roared from the place where the Liaodong Army was arrayed, and countless shells were overwhelmingly roaring towards the opposing cavalry team, and almost instantly, they fell in the rushing and whistling team.

The violent explosion sounded shockingly, and the indescribable fire also exploded in an instant, adding a bit of dazzling meaning to this already bright world, and with this explosion, it was the huge air wave generated by the explosion, as well as countless thistles mixed with the cannonballs!

The air wave shook a lot of cavalry teams away and split them apart, and the iron thistle terrestris splashed into the distance with the air wave, and fell on the bodies of many cavalrymen, or war horses, for a while, the cavalry that could not be seen clearly splashed up, and many people wailed and rolled down from which war horse.

Some people, even people and horses, were affected and directly confused.

And the surging cavalry behind couldn't stop at this time, so they crushed them so hard, leaving countless crimson and corpses on the ground.

It's a bit shocking.

However, this is a small area after all, there are nearly 10,000 cavalry, the range is vast, and the range of these artillery fires is also limited, except for causing them some attrition, it does not really cause a devastating blow to this cavalry.

Even, it didn't really stop their steps.

They still galloped in the direction of the Liaodong Army with the sound of violent drums.

Momentum like a rainbow!

Bang!

Bang!

Two more rounds of artillery were fired, which also slowed down the speed of these cavalry, and caused a lot of confusion among them, leaving some corpses and mud on the ground again, and their numbers were also significantly reduced, but it still had no effect on the overall situation.

This cavalry team finally rushed within the range of the musketeers.

"Put!"

It was a new order again, and the musketeers fired one after another, and the number of musketeers that Yuan Tianzhi left for himself was quite a lot, after all, in terms of defense, the power brought by the musketeers was not bad, and in terms of offense, they were more deficient, so they needed more than Luo Ming in Beiying.

With the musketeers firing, countless bullets were also overwhelming, and in an instant, it fell on the body of the roaring Goguryeo cavalry, such a large number of musket attacks, soon, caused a large area of lethality, and the cavalry who rushed in front fell down one after another.

Bang!

Bang!

Although the cavalry behind rushed up, after all, it was affected by some influences, and there was some confusion, which caused the speed of the entire cavalry team to slow down again, and with this mutual impact, collision with each other, coupled with the shooting of the musketeers, the cavalry team of Goguryeo lost a lot.

Of the 10,000 people, there are now about six or seven percent left.

Bang!

When the musketeers changed their bullets one after another, these cavalry teams finally rushed in front of the heavy shield armor, and the cavalry in front of them were completely fearless to die towards the shield armor that stood on the ground, like a mountain, with iron thorns, and then struck hard with their own horses and flesh.

Bang!

The war horse and the cavalry smashed on the black heavy shield armor, the low explosion spread, and the impact force also exploded, the cavalry and the war horse were pierced by iron thorns together, and then they were stuck to it, the impact brought by such a high speed made the entire shield armor shake violently, and it was forced to move a lot towards the rear by the impact.

Even the upside-down iron spikes stuck in the ground showed some signs of bending.

The soldiers of the Liaodong Army who maintained the heavy shield armor were full of hideousness and madness on their faces, pushing and resisting with their flesh and blood, and at the same time, some of the people behind them also took out the long halberds that had been prepared long ago, passed through the gap between the heavy shield armor, and stabbed towards the cavalry who continued to swarm.

An impact and a fight completely exploded in such a range.

"They're going to hit the side!"

In the distance, Yuan Tianzhi stood on the viewing platform, his eyes were solemn and cold, looking into the distance, the cavalry responsible for the impact began to split, bypassing the two wings respectively, and trying to impact the left and right of the heavy shield soldiers, as if they were going to break through from these two sides and tear apart the defense composed of heavy shield soldiers from the inside.

"The general can rest assured for the time being, the position of the two wings has been dug last night, and their cavalry will not be able to pass in a short time, unless the corpses of their cavalry are used to pile up the ravine. ”

A young general stood behind Yuan Tianzhi, with a thick coldness on his face, and said in a deep voice.

At the beginning of the arrangement of this war, they made up their minds to fight a defensive battle and delay time, and the defensive battle, against the opponent's cavalry, in addition to the shield armor, there was also this trench, and they arranged countless iron thorns inside, specifically to limit the impact of the Goguryeo cavalry.

According to the general's estimate, he will be able to stop them at least three times.

And it can also bring a lot of losses to Goguryeo's northwest imperial army, such a loss, even if his opponent is nearly ten times more than his own, he will be distressed, and it can also reduce a lot of pressure on the Liaodong army.

Rumble!

Rumble!

As the young general spoke, the cavalry on both flanks had already rushed in, and they galloped all the way, unhindered, like a dragon and a tiger, but suddenly, the front of the group fell into the dug trench.

Poof!

Countless iron thorns pierced their war horses with sharp edges, pierced their cavalry, countless war horses roared in pain, and the painful cavalry wails suddenly resounded, and the cavalry team behind could not stop their pace in time, and continued to rush over desperately.

Then, the same fell.

Suddenly there was an even more tragic shout from inside the trench, and the cavalry team was also in obvious confusion, the cavalry at the front, in order to prevent falling, began to spread out to both sides, and some of the cavalry behind fell because they still didn't see clearly.

In an instant, countless crimson and blood were left in the trenches, and they even gathered and flowed.

It looks a little shocking.

"Damn!"

"This group of bastards has been prepared for a long time, they don't want to fight us head-on at all, they just want to shrink back and defend to consume us!"

Farther away, there is the camp of the Northwest Commanding Army, Chongyushu was guarded by a group of generals in the middle, looking at everything that happened on the battlefield, the expression on his face became extremely gloomy, and even a little distress that could not be concealed, this impact, the Liaodong Army did nothing, and he lost nearly 5,000 cavalry!

It made his heart almost bleed.

You must know that although he was able to dispatch 200,000 troops from the northwest, all the soldiers and horses were actually all the troops in Goguryeo, basically all of them, and even Naxian City, where the monarch was located, there were only about 10,000 troops left to maintain order and protect the monarch's safety.

The rest, it's all here.

If it had been such a large-scale attrition, he Chongyushu really couldn't afford it.

In the end, even if this battle is won, it will bring indescribable losses to the Northwest Commander's Army, and Goguryeo will become an empty shell because it cannot withdraw troops for a while.

In this way, it is possible that the chaos in Goguryeo will go on first.

Therefore, he can't keep using this method of desperate and disregarding consumption to keep consuming with the Liaodong Army.

"General, they're moving!"

However, just when the anger in Chongyushu's heart was uncontrollable, a general beside him suddenly reminded him, and looked in the direction pointed by the general, and the heavy shield armor soldiers of the Liaodong Army, who were originally cowering and immovable, actually began to slowly split from the rear.

As the huge hole was torn open, a fierce cavalry team began to rush outside, and their direction was the Goguryeo cavalry that had been attacking for a while.

The long knife is wielded, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

"Are they unable to bear it? Quickly, order, all the cavalry rush forward desperately, so that he can't close the opening of his defense, and send another 10,000 cavalry over to attack!"

The moment Chongyushu's gaze swept over, he gave another order, but this heavy shield armor was not easy to impact open, but now that the other party took the initiative to tear it open, it would be self-defeating, as long as the Goguryeo cavalry team rushed in, it would be able to tear this defense apart from the inside!

And then, this Liaodong Army will be truly exposed in front of itself, and it can be defeated in one fell swoop!

Knock knock!

With the deafening sound of drums rising to the sky, the originally tired Goguryeo cavalry was once again stimulated, and began to rush towards this gradually torn opening according to the order of Chongyushu, almost desperate, even the war horses, their own lives were completely disregarded!

Kill!

Kill!

And with their impact, the cavalry of the Liaodong Army also quickly arrived nearby, with the waving of a flag, the heavy armored shield soldiers split directly to both sides, making way for the road, and the cavalry of the Liaodong Army, like a rainbow, like a sharp knife, stuck towards them.
