Chapter 360
The wheat iron rod was killed in the East Coast.
Facing thousands of troops, he was not afraid at all, and jumped to the east coast, standing there to inspire the countless soldiers behind him. Although he died under ten thousand arrows, he also inspired one Sui army after another to jump to the east coast.
No one backed up.
Maybe he doesn't go up, maybe others will hesitate, maybe today's crossing the river will die.
But now, more and more Sui troops are rushing to the east coast.
On the other hand, the craftsmen and civilians began to build the fourth, fifth and sixth floating bridge in the Liaohe River.
"Shoot the arrow!"
East Coast.
Back against the pontoon bridge.
Behind are the turbulent waters of the Liao River, and there is no way to retreat.
The Sui soldiers crossing the river quickly formed a formation.
The big shield and spear were in front, and the spears were pointed diagonally in front. They formed a group of thirty or fifty people, with crossbowmen in the middle, and the gun and shield soldiers were outside.
Facing the Mercedes-Benzing Goguryeo Light Cavalry, they gritted their teeth and shot arrows.
Every moment someone falls down.
But no one backed down.
More Sui troops rushed over the floating bridge. Every time a Sui army crossed the river, the Sui army became stronger.
The small army formation of thirty or fifty people gradually expanded to the hundreds of people.
Then several small arrays are combined into a formation of hundreds of people.
Finally, they united and moved forward.
There are more and more spears.
The shield wall is getting stronger and stronger.
The sound of horse hooves rumbling.
"Heavy cavalry, Goguryeo's armored ride is here."
Someone shouted.
But no one backed up.
The Goguryeo people dispatched heavy cavalry. Although their light cavalry relied on the edge of the Sui army's infantry formation with their fast horses and arrows, they were ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Sui army. However, while they fell down, someone immediately made up for it. The Sui army protected the landing point on the east coast of the three floating bridges, and the number of people increased.
The Goguryeo people were anxious.
They dispatched heavy cavalry.
The heavy cavalry, all in armor, rushed over in several rows.
A mansion soldier stabbed the spear in his hand into the ground, and then half of his body hugged the spear. The shield soldier squatted directly on the ground, pressing most of his body behind the shield.
"kill!"
The earth shook.
The power of the iron cavalry charge can make people's shocking hearts jump out. Facing the heavy cavalry surrounded by iron armor, the infantry appears very fragile and insignificant.
But no one stepped back.
Bang.
The collision between heaven and earth.
The soldiers of the palace felt that the sky was falling and the earth was broken, and their ears were filled with the huge vibration. The heavy cavalry finally hit the enemy. The huge impact force directly broke the spear and knocked the shield away.
The military formation was knocked open, and the infantry was trampled on by iron hooves.
"die!"
A soldier with a broken spear drew his sword and stabbed a heavy cavalry desperately.
But the sharp horizontal sword failed to pierce the heavy armor.
A knife is broken and a person is killed.
Another mansion soldier blushed and shouted, raising his spear and stabbed it.
A soldier slashed at the iron cavalry's hooves with a knife.
Although he was full of armor, the four hooves of the war horse still did not have armor.
With one knife, he broke his hooves and fell to the ground.
The thousand-pound man fell down, and the huge rushing force still knocked down several soldiers and rushed forward a few feet away.
One military formation after another was broken by the Goguryeo heavy cavalry. Although the heavy cavalry of the Goguryeo people was obviously not as good as the heavy cavalry of the Sui army, they were still heavy cavalry after all.
Look from a distance.
The Sui army formations on the east coast were smashed and broken one by one, and the heavy cavalry continued to cast their momentum.
Several heavy riders finally rushed to the front of the shore bridge.
There, the wheat iron rod still stood proudly.
The Goguryeo heavy cavalry crashed directly into the scene, and several soldiers shouted, "Protect the general!"
They knew that the Mai Tie Staff was killed, but they still could not allow the Goguryeo people to blaspheme the body of the general.
A hammer swung, and the mansion soldier was knocked away and fell to death.
But immediately someone rushed up fearlessly, and they vowed to protect the body of Mai Tie Staff to the death.
Knock off.
run down.
pierce.
In front of the heavy cavalry with armor all over his body, the single mansion soldier was no match for him at all.
A team of Goguryeo light cavalry rushed over, and they took the opportunity to zip up the iron rod of wheat, and then dragged his body away.
The Sui army's eyes were broken when they saw it.
"Retake the general!"
Countless people shouted, and then rushed towards the Goguryeo without hesitation.
At this moment, the Sui army on the entire East Coast battlefield seemed to be working hard again. They went crazy and slashed with knives and stabbed with guns. Not only did they not retreat, but they rushed forward.
The Goguryeo people thought they could destroy the guards of the Sui army's east bank in one fell swoop, drove them down the river, then burned the floating bridge and repelled the Sui army's crossing the river.
But the Sui army was not defeated, and no one turned around and jumped into the river.
Facing the powerful Goguryeo cavalry, they would rather die in battle than retreat.
The heavy cavalry of Goguryeo could no longer rush and had nowhere to rush. In front of them was the rolling Liao River.
The heavy cavalry, who lost the impact, failed to drive the Sui army into the river, but he fell into the crazy encirclement and killing of the Sui army.
The heavy cavalry that cannot rush up is even worse than a heavy infantry.
The Sui army bit them frantically, slashed their spears, slashed their horses' hooves, and grabbed their helmets. The Goguryeo heavy cavalry fell into despair.
The Goguryeo light cavalry was fighting desperately, but no matter how they rushed, the Sui army would not retreat.
On the bridge, the Sui army was still pouring in. They did not hesitate or retreat.
Yang Yichen, the general of the Right Seventh Army, also led the elite light cavalry to the east coast.
Even the new civil servant Pei Shiju, the general of the Right Five Army, rushed to the east coast with a helmet and armor.
More and more Sui troops came ashore, and soon the first light cavalry gathered together.
Yang Yichen raised his spear and rode his horse, and led his army to launch a counterattack.
The battle started from morning to dusk, and the battle lasted for one day.
The Sui army had built seven floating bridges one after another, and the number of troops crossing the river reached 60,000 to 70,000.
The Goguryeo people finally couldn't stand it anymore.
Although they came to fight in a magnificent city and 50,000 infantry and cavalry, the Sui army first showed the courageous performance of Mao Tie Staff, and then the emperor personally supervised the battle on the battlefield. This momentum was incomparable to the Goguryeo people.
Several more pontoon bridges were almost completed, and more Sui troops set foot on the east coast battlefield.
The Goguryeo people suffered heavy casualties, but they did not have the determination and courage to fight to the end of the bloody battle in the Sui army.
When they saw that they were no longer able to stop the Sui army from crossing the river, they finally sounded the horn of retreat.
As soon as the horn sounded, the entire Goguryeo army retreated.
They didn't want to stay for a moment and ran away frantically.
"kill!"
Yang Yichen was covered in blood and even changed three horses. When he saw the Goguryeo army retreating, he had no intention of letting go and led his subordinates to catch up.
Countless Sui troops also chased after them with a scream.
In today's battle, the blood debt must be paid for in blood!
The Goguryeo army fled in a panic, and the Sui army was chasing like a tiger.
He chased and killed dozens of miles, and continued to the hard city of Liaodong.
The Goguryeo people fled into Liaodong City, and then Yang Yichen ordered the pursuit to stop!
Emperor Yang Guang finally stepped onto the land on the east bank of the Liao River. The land under his feet was completely stained with blood. There was no inch of it not stained with bright red for several miles along the coast.
"Your Majesty, our army won a great victory, killing more than 18,000 Goguryeo and capturing more than 3,000 prisoners."
Yang Guang was not happy, "Where is Mai Tiejian? Have you found his body?"
"Return to Your Majesty, I haven't found it yet. It is said that I have been brought back to Liaodong City by the Goguryeo people."
"Send someone to come back and tell the Goguryeo that even if it is a thousand taels of gold, I will redeem it."
Duan Wenzhen, the general of the Right Fifth Army of the Minister of War, died, and the general of the Left Seventh General of the Left Seventh General of the Left Sword of the Left Sword, died again, and two generals were lost in a row. Yang Guang was extremely heartbroken.
This is his confidant general.
"Damn Goguryeo, kill all the three thousand prisoners!"
Chapter completed!
