The sound of horns rang out.

The autumn wind rolls up the flag and flies.

Under the flag of the central army, a cavalry rushed towards him.

"A general has orders and orders the front wing to attack!"

Under the front wing.

All the generals were wearing armor given by the emperor, holding Shangfang horse spear, wearing Shangfang sword, and carrying Shangfang bow on his back. He squinted his eyes and looked ahead.

This is the hilly mountains northeast of Wuliluo. Five thousand Gogurye soldiers who came to support and two thousand Goguryeo soldiers who came out of the city to meet. Last time, they were defeated by Luo Yi and rushed to the mountains here.

As Luo Yi expected, these people finally couldn't stay there.

Although there is a dangerous terrain in the mountain monument, these Goguryeo people are short of food and food. In just half a month, they have almost exhausted their food and grass and have to go out of the mountain to fight.

Six thousand Goguryeo soldiers were eager to fight and tried to fight again before they were exhausted. Either, break through the defense line of the Sui army and enter Wuliluo City, where there is a strong city fortress, and you need sufficient food, grass and equipment. Or it depends on whether you can break through the defense line of the Sui army on the bank of the Liao River and retreat back to Liaodong.

Otherwise, if they continue to stay in this mountain, they will starve to death if they can't last for a few days.

The six thousand Goguryeo Army broke through the formation with infantry in front and cavalry on the side.

About four thousand infantrymen formed four square formations, arranged in a prism, with about two thousand cavalry on both sides of them.

Qi Biao reminded Luo Cheng, "These Goguryeo people seem to be ready to fight to the death. You see, they have completely given up the camp behind and are not ready to retreat at all."

"Just relying on these six thousand people, I want to rush out?" Old Jia said disdainfully. Not to mention that the first army here is waiting for work today, even the number of numbers is advantageous. After rest and supplementary, the number of first army has increased instead of decreasing, reaching 16,000. The front wing alone is placed in front, with 6,000 combat soldiers.

Shi Meng said on the side, "Goguryeo Light Cavalry is very powerful, but their infantry is also very brave. It is said that when I was pacified by the Southern Chen Dynasty in the Sui Dynasty, the Goguryeo people planned to send troops to the sea to rescue the sea, but later the emperor Chen was too incompetent and was destroyed in just a few months. Goguryeo did not send troops."

Luo Cheng's eyes were staring at the light cavalry on both wings of the Goguryeo people.

"Looking at these light riding outfits, it seems that they are not Goguryeo, right?"

These light horses are even more barbaric, with bald hair and braided hair, mostly wearing leather armor. Their helmets are also very interesting, all of which are the heads of various beasts. Tiger heads, cow heads, wolf heads, bear heads, and even wild boar heads. I don’t know how they preserved these ferocious beast heads so well and made them into helmets.

"I seemed to see wild boar skin armor and bear helmets. Well, if I expected it, these light cavalry are the cavalry of the Marine tribe. It is very likely that they are the Marine tribes of the Baishan tribes attached to the Goguryeo people. Don't look like these people are barbaric and backward, but they are actually extremely brave. Be careful." Shi Meng reminded Luo Cheng.

The horn sounds louder.

The war drums were like thunder, and the central army was urging the front wing to fight.

"It seems this is a tough battle."

Luo Cheng didn't want to fight such a tough battle, because such battles would obviously lead to great casualties. He prefers to fight sports wars, such as rushing to enemy rears, raiding enemy camps, surrounding points to fight aid, and luring the enemy into ambush. But now he is just a front wing general, and this battle is commanded by Luo Yi.

"Tell me to order the second regiment to attack."

Let the flag shake.

The flag bearer on the Bu Er Gang accurately received the order and then shook the flag to reply.

"All the generals will make me attack the second regiment!"

Under the second regiment army, Luo Cunxiao frowned. Facing the six thousand Goguryeo people who were fighting desperately, why did Luo Cheng even let their second regiment attack?

Compared with the other three regiments, their second regiments have more troops and their strength is weaker. Even if it is not weak, the entire regiment will only have two thousand people.

"A general, is it because of the military orders that are wrong?"

The camp lieutenant Wang Junkuo said with a embarrassed look on his face.

The fourth brother rolled his eyes and glared at him, "Are you scared?"

Wang Jungu's face turned red, "I'm afraid of you, when will I be afraid?"

"It's good if you don't worry. No matter what Lao Wu thinks, since this order has been completed, it will be implemented without any hesitation. This is the first battle of my second regiment. No one of you is allowed to be timid. Beat the drums, blow the horns, and go!"

The flag soldiers in the regiment waved the flag and commanded the battalions and teams with the order flag.

In front of the fourth camp.

Dou Jiande carried a seven-foot-handed sword in his hand, wrapped his body in bright light armor. Behind him was the team's flag bearer holding the team flag high. Behind him, a hundred infantrymen were all holding spears.

It is false to say that he is not nervous. Dou Jiande didn't expect that he would go to the battlefield to meet the enemy in just three days.

Facing the Goguryeo soldiers who were walking neatly and coming in a dull manner, his heart beat faster.

Turning his head and looking at the left and right sides, on the left was the younger brother Liu Heita, who was holding a big knife in his hand. On the right was the old friend Sun Anzu, carrying a caltrop bone.

His wife's brother Wang Fubao and his brother Gao Shida were farther away. They were both standing at the front of the team like themselves.

The war drums kept stopping, and Dou Jiande did not dare to stop, so he led the team forward.

He tried to walk smoothly so as not to get his team of people who had just been pulled up to get messy. He took a few steps and looked back. Fortunately, although these people were extremely nervous, their formation was pretty good. They tried to keep up with the drum beats and keep the same.

later.

Shi Meng looked at the Second Cavalry Regiment slowly facing him and asked with interest, "General, the Second Bu Regiment has two thousand people facing six thousand. I'm afraid I can't win?"

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "I definitely can't win. This is not a 6,000 bandits, this is a 6,000 Goguryeo army. Last time, General Luo Ya personally led the main force to fight them, but he only beheaded more than a thousand."

"What will that mean?"

Luo Cheng rode on the horse, pressing his hand on the hilt of his waist, staring at the front, and seeing that the Bu Er Regiment had almost met the enemy, he turned to the commander and said, "Let Siye lead a regiment to line up and prepare to face the enemy. Tell him that it is time to see him show his power."

Luo Yi asked Luo Cheng to lead 6,000 soldiers in the front wing to fight, while Luo Cheng asked 2,000 people in the second regiment to fight, and the intention was the same. Luo Yi planned to use the front wing to catch the enemy, resist the Goguryeo, and then he led most of the troops to fight back. Luo Cheng also didn't want the whole wing to be directly involved in the melee, and planned to let the second regiment go first.

Wei Zheng stroked a few strands of beards, with a very military advisor style, and said with a smile, "I'm going to use the Second Regiment to catch the enemy and defeat them first, and then lure the Goguryeo people into a broken formation? Then take the first regiment to block the enemy, and then use cavalry to charge?"

Luo Cheng nodded.

"Wei Jishi's eyes are indeed as wise as a torch. If we fight against the Goguryeo people, we will compete for casualties. We fight for six thousand in front of us for six thousand. Even if we kill one thousand enemies, we will have to hurt ourselves for eight hundred, which is not worth it."

Therefore, Luo Cheng was thinking about how to break the current formation of the Goguryeo people and prevent them from continuing to rush over together. He had to separate their formations, so that there would be some chance.

"Will the Goguryeo people be fooled?"

“This is not necessarily.”

"Will General Luo really lose?"

"There is actually no big difference between real defeat and fake defeat." Luo Cheng narrowed his eyes and said softly, "Anyway, we are not fighting alone. There are 10,000 troops in the middle and back, and there are 10,000 troops escorting the formation."

His eyes passed over countless soldiers and landed under the banners in the front. They were the five heroic Hebei teams including Dou Jiande and Liu Heita.

He seemed to be talking to himself, "King of Xia Dou Jiande, King of Han Dong Liu Heita, King of Yang Gongsun Anzu, King of Yizhou Gao Shida, General Wang Fubao, I want to see if these five people have the strength to be called king and conferred Duke."

Wei Zheng turned his head over, as if he was puzzled by what Luo Cheng was saying, but Luo Cheng did not explain.

In front of the formation.

The war drums stop.

The horn is out.

Dou Jiande stood firmly and inserted his sword hard to the ground. He took off the long bow from his back, took out a pot of long arrows with him, and inserted it into the soil under his feet.

Other soldiers were like this.

From the moment he decided to sign up in the civil servant camp, he had already expected such a day.

Maybe he would die here today, but he had no regrets. Many times, Dou Jiande would also recall the glory of his ancestors and imagine how glorious it was for his ancestors to be granted the title of Duke and King.

But I didn't expect that the moment when I had to sacrifice my life would be so early.

The long bow is in the hand, the string is wound, and the pull is tried.

He felt that courage was accumulating, so why not come early at this moment? Only by taking this step can he Dou Jiande go further.

No success comes casually. Even the eighteen-year-old Luo Cheng is still the current status that dozens of warriors have.

The Great Sui Palace has one million soldiers, and it is not that easy to make a comeback.

The camp lieutenant Wang Junguo rode his horse in front of the formation and shouted loudly.

"Loya will hand over the glory of the First Army to our front wing. Luo Du will hand over the heavy responsibility of the Front wing to our Bu Second Regiment. Luo Bian General will trust the first battle of the Second Regiment to our Fourth Battalion. I, Wang Junkuo, was originally the personal guard of Luo Du, and it was the first time that I led the Fourth Battalion. In any case, this battle was the first battle of our Fourth Battalion, and it was also the first battle between me, Wang Junkuo and you. Although there are thousands of Goguryeo thieves ahead of us, we will never retreat."

"When the thief is nearly 60 steps, the crossbowman fires the crossbow. When the thief is nearly 50 steps, everyone shoots arrows. When the thief is nearly 20 steps, stop shooting arrows. Each raises his weapons and welcomes the enemy to kill the thief!"

Dou Jiande was burly and looked at Wang Junlang, who was much younger than him, riding a tall horse in front of the formation with envy. He thought that if he made great contributions in this battle, he might not be able to be promoted to the position of captain. At that time, he would no longer have to stand in front of the team to kill the enemy.

Compared to killing enemies with swords and swords, he is more willing to ride a horse in front of the formation to command.

The enemy is getting closer and closer.

Dou Jiande picked up a long arrow and put it on the bow.

He pulled away the two-stone longbow with force, held his breath and shot an arrow at the Goguryeo people.

The arrow shot away quickly and finally fell down.

The arrows were inserted into the open space among the two armies, and the white feathers at the tail of the arrow were particularly conspicuous.

This arrow is one hundred steps away from the enemy.

Dou Jiande picked up another arrow and put the bow on the string again.

This time, he waited for a few breaths before shooting the arrow.

The arrows flew away like meteors, but fell closer.

He looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.

This arrow was almost fifty steps away from him.

These two arrows are not meant to kill the enemy, but to mark the distance.
