Chapter 143: Full Line Attack (Three Hundred(2/2)
Chu Tian hurriedly climbed to the high ground, and sure enough, behind the Goguryeo army, sand and dust were billowing, as if they were fighting a battle with a group of soldiers and horses.
"Didn't Changsun Wuji's partial army be repulsed? Who attacked the Goguryeo army?"
Chu Tian was quite surprised.
But it doesn't matter who attacked the Goguryeo army, because the rear of the Goguryeo army was attacked, and the time for decisive victory has arrived!
Thousands of arrows were fired together, and the rain of arrows from the Tang army was like black clouds covering the sky!
Hundreds of Goguryeo infantry and archers were killed by a hail of arrows!
The Goguryeo archers fired back, and tens of thousands of arrows drew parabolas in the air and landed on the Tang army's shields.
The two armies clashed, and the Tang army's infantry tried to remove the antlers to clear obstacles for the cavalry.
The sharp infantry spear pierced the wooden shield of the Goguryeo infantry and stabbed the Goguryeo infantry on the opposite side to death!
Rows of heavy infantrymen of the Tang Army kept moving forward, trying to overwhelm Goguryeo's front!
"A Tang army appears behind us!"
"The heavy infantry of the Tang Army are destroying our formation, and no less than ten generals in the front are killed!"
"The Tang Army on the other side of the river is urgently laying a pontoon bridge and preparing to cross the river!"
"The cavalry of the Tang Army is ready to attack!"
The Goguryeo army was in chaos and was attacked from three sides by Li Shimin, Li Ji, and Changsun Wuji!
"Eulji Mundeok, you lead the army to block the army that attacks the rear!"
Choi Jae-sun was hysterical and gave his hope to the famous general Eulji Moon-deok.
Eulji Wende gritted his teeth. He only had the low-level troops put together by the Goryeo lords. Facing the elite Tang army, he was determined to kill the thieves but was unable to save the day.
At this time, Changsun Wuji led a strange army to attack from the rear. He had followed Li Shimin in the north and south for many years, and it was easy for him to lead a single army to attack the rear of Goguryeo.
Goguryeo lacked horses in the rear, and the Tang army's cavalry attacked the panicked Goguryeo army in the rear, killing countless people!
Tang general Xue Wanche took out his spear and smashed a Goguryeo infantry along the way!
"Demolish the pontoon bridges of the Goguryeo army and destroy all one million Goguryeo armies!"
A group of Tang troops demolished the pontoon bridge behind the Goguryeo army, cutting off its retreat.
"Li Hu, you lead the Xiliang cavalry in an assault!"
Xu Fengnian, commander of the Sixth Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty, ordered Li Hu, the Zhuguo of the Western Wei Dynasty, to lead the Xiliang cavalry and other cavalry in the army to charge.
As the ancestor of Li Shimin, Li Hu came from a family of generals and was good at cavalry warfare. Under his leadership, the Xiliang cavalry was very aggressive!
Xu Fengnian had third-level Xiliang cavalry, but with the support of historical general Li Hu, the thousand Xiliang cavalry as the vanguard were like sharp spearheads, breaking through the Goguryeo army!
Li Hu held a ring-headed sword in his hand and kept slashing the Goguryeo soldiers in front!
The Huanshou knife struck the shield. The iron pieces of the shield were hit by the Huanshou knife, making a violent collision sound and sparks flying!
Xu Fengnian can see that the military merits he has obtained are increasing.
Make a sneak attack from behind to gain more military merit!
Only Xu Fengnian knew what happened during this period.
Changsun Wuji's previous sneak attack was indeed ambushed by the Goguryeo army, but the ones who were defeated were Eastern Han soldiers who had put on Tang army armor and equipment, giving Goguryeo the illusion that the Tang army was defeated.
However, the real main force of the Tang army took the second path, went around to the rear, and successfully attacked the Goguryeo army.
The low-ranking soldiers of the Eastern Han lords became bait, and in return, their lords could gain more military exploits.
"That Goryeo army appears again!"
Xu Fengnian ordered Li Hu to lead the cavalry and follow the Tang army general Xue Wanche to attack. He watched the battle from the rear. After defeating the Goguryeo rear army, the allied forces of the Goguryeo lords came under the leadership of Ulji Mundeok and barely blocked the attacking Tang army.
"It's this Koryo army again."
Xu Fengnian could see Li Hu and Xue Wanche's cavalry gradually losing their impact and couldn't help but frown.
The Goguryeo coalition led by Eulji Mundeok was much stronger than the ordinary Goguryeo army, which brought huge resistance to the Tang army.
On the frontal battlefield, the infantry of the Tang army were in close contact with the Goguryeo soldiers, and the crossbowmen were shooting.
The horse and deer antlers established by the Goguryeo army were destroyed.
"The Black Armor Cavalry allowed the Goguryeo people to see the power of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin finally invested in the elite Tang Xuanjia cavalry!
Veteran general Wei Chi Jingde led the heavy cavalry, all of whom were wearing iron armor, into the battlefield. The cavalry held horse poles and their armor was dark, and launched an attack.
"Crush the Goguryeo people and drive them into the river to feed the fish!"
Yuchi Jingde took the lead and led the black armor cavalry to charge!
The heavy horseshoes made the ground roar, and the Tang Xuanjia cavalry attracted everyone's attention. This black cavalry was galloping with lightning speed, and the dust was flying!
"kill!"
Yuchi Jingde easily stabbed the oncoming Goguryeo cavalry!
"kill!"
The Xuanjia cavalry of the Tang Dynasty rolled with hooves, and wherever they went, people fell on their backs!
Facing the high-level Tang Dynasty heavy cavalry, the Goguryeo army was unable to resist as its horses were dismantled.
"Your Majesty, Duke Bi has requested to lead the Turkic cavalry to fight!"
"allow."
Li Shimin looked at the vast battlefield below. Yuchi Jingde's Xuanjia Army had torn apart the Goguryeo army. The Turkic prince, Bi Guogong Ashina Sheer, led the Turkic cavalry to attack.
Li Ji's 100,000 Tang troops quickly set up three pontoon bridges to attack the flanks of the Goguryeo army.
Suddenly, Li Shimin saw a white soldier riding a war horse, entering and exiting the Goguryeo army seven times, killing dozens of Goguryeo soldiers in a row, showing great bravery.
"who's that person?"
"I don't know, they should be soldiers under the command of Duke Guo."
"If he survives this battle and is summoned to see me, he will be greatly rewarded."
"Here."
The Tang army launched a full-scale offensive, and the Second Army and the Third Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as reserves, went into battle.
"Li Chengliang, Zu Dashou, it's time for our Liaodong cavalry to launch an attack!"
Mingguan led two generals into the battle.
The cavalry from Liaodong County followed the Tang army and killed all sides.
"Capture the Goguryeo heavy cavalry as much as possible!"
What Chu Tian was jealous of now was not military exploits, but trying to capture Goguryeo's heavy cavalry alive.
The Goguryeo heavy cavalry was not very loyal to Goguryeo. They also had excellent war horses and iron armor, horse armor, and armor. The standards were almost the same as those in the Central Plains.
In other words, capturing a heavy cavalryman is worth dozens of taels or even hundreds of taels of silver!
