Chapter 1067 How the Iron Legion is Made (2)
Yoon Gassuwen made a lovely speech, and combined with her heroic outfit, he really added a lot of points to himself. Under the shock of the heads rolling around on the ground, the spirit of the Goguryeo soldiers was almost raised to the limit.
To lure him into fame and to suppress him through his power, Yuan Gaisuwen thought he had done a good job. Seeing the morale of his soldiers gradually being mobilized, he gently rolled his horse's heads and shouted at the Liaodong Legion: "Kill!"
"Kill!" More than 200,000 Goguryeo also let out a roar like thunder.
"Prepare for battle!" Li Daozong issued an order almost at the same time. Although he looked down on Yuan Gaisuwen's ability, he would never be careless because of this.
As an old general who has fought an old war, Li Daozong's battlefield experience is definitely not comparable to that of the guy Yuan Gai Suwen who can only talk.
Since the rebellion in Taiyuan, Li Daozong has been following the Li family father and son to conquer the world, overthrow the rule of the Sui Dynasty, and eliminated the eighteen rebel kings. All of this was the capital he relied on to become famous.
And what about Yuan Gai Suwen? He was still young during Yang Guang's expedition in Dong Dynasty and could not catch up. Later, when the Central Plains civil war, Goguryeo was sitting in the mountains and watching tiger fights, Comrade Xiao Yuan was busy taking over the position of his father Mo Lizhi.
It was not until the Tang Dynasty once again fought eastward that Yuan Gai Suwen had the opportunity to go to the battlefield. So although this guy has ambitions and is comparable to the famous generals throughout the ages, from an experience point of view, he is really not a little bit different from Li Daozong.
"Master General, do you really have to fight against the Goguryeo people? We still have a lot of equipment that is useless." Li Siwen looked at the sword, gun and arrow formation below and asked with some confusion.
Speaking of war, Li Siwen is still young after all. If Yeon Gaisuwen is a novice, then he is a real rookie.
"Tsk, you guys are just whimsical and always want to rely on equipment to fight. I tell you, a legion that has never seen blood or fought for life, you should never expect it to become the world's number one strong army!"
Taking advantage of the time when Goguryeo was moving forward, Li Daozong taught Li Siwen a lesson, and then ordered the Liaodong Legion, who was waiting for the battle below, and said, "Create a crossbow formation and teach the Goguryeo people a good lesson."
"Crazy..." Apart from the rows of swords, shield soldiers and spearmen in front, nearly 40,000 Liaodong Legion soldiers put away their weapons and supported the steel crossbows on their bodies. On both sides of the main formation, more than 20 consecutive crossbows were inserted into crossbow boxes at the same time.
"Kill..." The Goguryeo people didn't take long for hundreds of steps. Almost during the time when Li Daozong and Li Siwen were talking, they had rushed to a place more than 300 steps away from the main formation of the Tang army.
"Wind, strong wind! Strong wind!" Facing the advance of the Goguryeo people, the Liaodong Legion was not willing to be outdone, and the crossbow formation also sounded a majestic roar.
"Buzz..." There was a loud noise, and countless steel crossbow strings vibrated at the same time, and there seemed to be a layer of ripples in the air.
The dense raindrops of arrows soared into the sky. After reaching the highest point, they turned around and pierced their heads towards the Goguryeo who was rushing forward desperately below.
"Roar over! The retreater slashes!" Yuan Gaisuwen naturally saw the rain of arrows falling from the sky, and accelerated the speed of the war horses.
As a powerful side, Gassuwen believes that the final victory will definitely belong to him. As for the sacrifices before victory, it should be regarded as some small setbacks on the road to victory.
"The retreater will kill you! Kill!" A team of cavalry following Yuangasuwen passed his orders, and at the same time urged the war horses to surround him tightly to protect him.
These people are all family members of the Yuan family. Their meaning of existence is to ensure the safety of Yuan Gaisuwen, which has been deeply engraved into their bones.
Although the Goguryeo soldiers following them rushed towards the Liaodong Legion were scared, they thought of the eight thousand heads just now, and finally rushed forward with everything. They held the idea of dying eggs and dying for thousands of years, and made some meaningless shouts in an attempt to reduce the fear in their hearts.
"Swish..." The sharp roar of the triangular crossbow arrow finally came to his ears, and the meaningless shout turned into painful screams and moans, and a large number of Goguryeo cavalry fell on the way forward.
This time, the Tang Dynasty's counterattack was very formal and did not use that kind of four-legged nail, but the terrifying rain of arrows did not cause less damage than those four-legged nails. The three-stage shooting attacked ten thousand crossbow arrows per round. The powerful attack power cut off the fast-tracking cavalry of Goguryeo's fast-tracking cavalry. No matter how hard the troops behind them tried, they could not make more than half a step.
"No one is allowed to stop, rush with me, and those who retreat will be killed!" The young man in charge of reorganizing the army last night appeared again, holding a shield he got from somewhere in his hand, howling into the rain of arrows.
"Kill!" The Goguryeo cavalry in the brigade finally let out a roar from the bottom of his heart, and with a decisive heart, he slashed the butt of the war horse, and followed the red-armored young man with a roar.
The war entered a white heat at this moment, with war horses neighing and soldiers roaring. The soldiers of the Liaodong Legion, responsible for the long-range attack, tried their best to pull the strings of the steel crossbow again and again, and fired the crossbows in their hands with the command. The crossbows arranged on both sides of the military formation were also desperately releasing the steel arrows of killing.
The road to Goguryeo's attack was covered with corpses, including people, some war horses, and some of them could not tell what it was, but such efforts also made them finally attack more than a hundred steps in front of the Liaodong Legion.
"Shield Wall Defense!" Faced with the attack of the cavalry, the Liaodong Legion soldiers with nearly 10,000 people leaned together and pressed the shield in their hands with their shoulders.
Behind them were countless comrades holding spears. The spear, which was more than meter long, reached outside through the gap between the shields, and the tail of the gun was supported on the ground. From a distance, it looked like a steel Great Wall covered with thorns.
"Kill!" Yuan Gaisuwen, the general who survived by chance, increased the horse speed to the fastest. When he approached the shield wall, he jumped!
"Bang..." "Ah!" Some people can jump over, while others can't jump over. Countless cavalry who escaped the rain of arrows were lucky enough to escape the rain of arrows because of the wrong timing. They rushed towards the steel shield formation with their men and horses, and were then picked up by the spear stretched out from the shield formation.
The impact of the war horses caused the shield formation to collapse continuously, and a large number of Liaodong Legion soldiers were injured and fell down.
"I am invincible with the Tang Dynasty military formation!" The rough voice roared, and the one who fell down quickly got up from the ground. As long as the one who was injured did not hurt the vital points, he had no intention of retreating.
Although the steel shield formation was shaking, it did not collapse in the end. Under the impact of countless Goguryeo cavalry, it always stood like a reef in the sea!
