Chapter 136 First Battle(1/2)

In the 19th year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, personally conquered Goguryeo and recaptured Xuantu City, Gaimou City, Liaodong City, and Baiyan City. In June, the Tang army arrived at Anshi City, and the battle of Anshi City began.

Chutian's two thousand troops appeared in the canyon southeast of Anshi City.

"This is Liaodong?"

Chu Tian could not see the Tang army, nor could he see the Goguryeo army. Now he had his back against the mountains, and only the troops of Xia Cheng followed him. The other lords or guilds did not know where they were born.

"Go and explore the surroundings. Once you find the Tang army, Goguryeo army or other lords' armies, come back and report immediately."

All player systems were cut off, and Chu Tian could only fumble around cautiously like an ordinary ancient general.

The first thing is to join the Tang army.

A dozen cavalrymen were sent to explore in various directions.

Chu Tian patiently waited for the scout's return. Before that, he could not march aimlessly, otherwise he would plunge into the Goguryeo army and the whole army would be annihilated.

Xia Cheng's three troops formed an array, with Zhou Yafu's Xiliu Camp in the front, Shesheng Camp in the rear, and Hua Mulan's cavalry on one side.

Fang Xuanling observed the trees and moss, discerned the direction, and observed the terrain with Chutian.

Players who studied ancient history in the Eastern Han Dynasty drew maps and distributed them to all lords participating in the war.

Chutian can judge his position by observing the nearby terrain.

"This should be the low hills and mountains in the Qianshan Mountains. As far as this section of the canyon is concerned, it runs roughly in a north-south direction."

When Chu Tian climbed to the high ground, the battlefield expanded ten times. It was very difficult to judge the terrain. Fortunately, the terrain of the canyon was easy to distinguish, and it was surrounded by mountains.

Anshi City is probably in the north.

After waiting for an hour, the cavalry serving as scouts came back one after another.

"My lord, there are troops flying the red dragon flag five miles north. I contacted them. The leader of the troops is the lord of Dongjun, Prince Wen!"

"Gongziwen from Dongjun?"

Chu Tian found a subordinate.

Gongziwen belonged to his second legion, and under his command was the famous Warring States general Pang Juan, as well as a heavy infantry force.

According to this situation, Chutian's best choice should be to join Gongziwen and strengthen his own power.

Just when Chu Tian was about to give an order, the cavalry who went to the south to explore came back quickly: "My lord, a Goguryeo army was found in the south!"

"How many people are there?"

Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling were moved at the same time. They did not expect to encounter the Goguryeo army so soon.

Although Zhou Yafu, Hua Mulan and Li Guang did not speak, they pricked up their ears and wanted to know if they could capture the fighter plane.

"About two thousand people."

"How far away is it? What's the movement like?"

"About four miles away, there is a tendency to march southward."

Chutian held the map in his hand, and he had a little understanding of the current situation.

During a national war, the birth locations of all lords are random, and the armies of lords from different civilizations may be mixed on the battlefield.

This is a fighter plane.

The number of the opponent does not exceed 2,000, so it is very likely that it is not the Goguryeo army, but the Goguryeo lords participating in the war.

There are a hundred Goryeo lords. If this Goryeo lord's army can be eliminated, the Eastern Han District will have a greater chance of winning the national war.

"March quickly and defeat this Goryeo army!"

Chutian mobilized immediately.

"Go and contact Gongzi Wen, and in the name of our army commander, order him to march south to support us."

In order to prevent Chu Tian from being unable to swallow up the Goryeo army in the south by himself, he sent a light cavalry to the north to ask for support from Gongzi Wen's 2,000 men.

National war is not a time for personal heroism. Only by using one's own forces as much as possible to eliminate the opponent's effective forces can we win.

Hua Mulan took the initiative to march: "The last general can lead the light cavalry in a ten-mile assault!"

"You lead the cavalry forward to harass them and put them in a dilemma. Wait for the infantry and archers to arrive before launching a pincer attack."

Chu Tian did not agree to Hua Mulan's request to attack the opponent.

If Hua Mulan was leading a heavy cavalry with multiple war horses or her own exclusive cavalry, Chutian would definitely let Hua Mulan break through the enemy formation with 500 cavalry and kill all sides.

But now Hua Mulan only has 500 low-level light cavalry in her hands. If the opponent also has historical heroes, it will be dangerous.

The Goryeo lord can still bring out one or two king-level or emperor-level heroes.

Chutian wanted to use the intrusive effect of the light cavalry.

There is a light cavalry of 500 men watching eagerly, and the 2,000 men of the Goryeo lord will definitely not dare to march in a hurry. Once the opponent marches in a hurry, the formation is scattered, and Hua Mulan leads the light cavalry to attack, the opponent will definitely collapse.

"yes!"

Hua Mulan agreed, then got on her horse and led five hundred cavalry south to pursue the Korean lord.

Horse hooves clattered and dust filled the air.

A cavalryman with a small red dragon flag behind him went north to meet up with Lord Gongzi Wen of East County. The role of the flag in the chaotic battlefield was to avoid being accidentally killed by friendly forces.

Chu Tian, ​​Zhou Yafu, Li Guang, and Fang Xuanling led a total of 1,500 people from Xiliu Camp and Shesheng Camp south along the canyon.

The fighter plane was fleeting, so they gave up the conservative tactic of joining the Tang army first, and instead took the initiative to destroy one of the opponent's units first.

Four miles to the south, a Korean lord saw many low hills around him and fell into confusion.

The Battle of Anshi City took place in Liaodong, which was quite unfamiliar to the Goryeo lords.

The origin of Goguryeo civilization is the Fuyu people of Liaodong. The lords of Goguryeo mistakenly recognized their ancestors. Coupled with the balancing mechanism of "Lords", Goguryeo was divided into the Kingdom of Goguryeo.

"What the hell is this place? I don't know it at all. It doesn't belong to our country of Korea at all."

The Goryeo lord looked at the map in his hand with a headache.

There are also many Goryeo players who are proficient in history and geography, and they draw maps for the Goryeo lords who participated in the war.

But having a map doesn't mean you can use it, nor does it mean you can immediately identify where you are.

Even some veteran generals who have been on the battlefield may get lost without local people as guides.

To be on the safe side, he chose the southeast direction.

"Sir, there is dust in the north!"

The Goryeo lord was marching with two thousand men when he suddenly received an urgent message from the rear team.

"Array, array!"

The Goryeo lord was sweating profusely, and there was smoke and dust behind him, which was probably caused by the rapid march of the enemy's troops.

Two thousand Goryeo troops formed a circular formation to defend.

This Goryeo army consisted of spearmen, longbowmen, sword and shield men and light cavalry, which was almost the same as the army in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

As a farming civilization, Goryeo was greatly influenced by the Central Plains. The common military units were similar, but the differences were slight differences in language and armor systems.

The Goryeo lord also took out a piece of silk and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

If the person who comes is not kind, the person who is kind will not come, and he does not know how many people there are on the other side.

"It's the cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty!"

The Goryeo lord was sweating profusely when he saw a cavalryman flying a red dragon flag with Chinese characters written in small seal script.

The national war had just begun. Before he could join up with the other Goguryeo lords and the Goguryeo army, he was faced with an encounter.

And he is also the most difficult cavalry.

Once entangled by the opponent's cavalry, the marching speed will be greatly reduced.

"Fortunately, they are not the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. They should be the cavalry of the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty."

After the initial panic, the Goryeo lord tried to calm down.

It is a blessing among misfortunes that it is not the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.

If it were the Tang Dynasty's heavy cavalry... three hundred Tang Xuanjia troops could defeat his two thousand men.

"Hush!"

Hua Mulan reined in the reins and led five hundred cavalry to confront the two thousand Goryeo troops.

She was not in a hurry, the lord's 1,500 main force had not arrived yet, her task was just to hold them back.

"What is their intention? To consume my patience? Or..."

As time went by, the Goryeo lord became more and more nervous, and sweat flowed down his Adam's apple, dripping on the land of Liaodong.

This is war, and mistakes in judgment can result in the entire army being wiped out.

"They are delaying my time. There must be reinforcements in the rear!"

The Goryeo lords are not mediocre people who are qualified to participate in the national war, and they quickly judged Hua Mulan's intentions.
To be continued...
