Chapter 967: To lure the enemy must have the appearance of lure
The Tang Dynasty's army was well equipped and the soldiers' physical fitness were all basic factors that could affect the victory or defeat of a battle, but there was another most critical issue, that is, the number of people.
Only one-tenth of Goguryeo's number makes it difficult to attack nearly 100,000 Goguryeo people. Although they are confident that they can kill all the invading enemies, the facts have proved that a good tiger really cannot withstand a group of wolves, and two fists are really hard to beat four hands.
"General, let's go!" Ding Yichen looked at the anxious battlefield. The ten thousand invaders of the Tang Dynasty had gradually shown signs of decline. His anxious eyes almost burst out with sparks. He looked at Li Ji and asked anxiously.
"What's the hurry? Your mission is to guard against the 50,000 cavalrymen of Goguryeo. If they don't move, you will nail me there. Even if we die, we will watch it all!"
Whoever soldier feels sorry for him? Seeing his soldiers sprinkled blood on the battlefield one by one, it would be a lie to say that Li Ji doesn't feel sorry for him.
But the military strategists say: Be kind and do not control the soldiers!
In this mission of luring the enemy, what Li Ji needed to do was to "suck" Gao Yanshou and Gao Hui firmly so that he could not even retreat when Changsun Wuji appeared.
The battle situation in front of us is far from reaching the goal of sticking the Goguryeo people. There are still tens of thousands of Goguryeo cavalry not moving, and the battle between the frontal infantry has just begun, and it is not time to take out all the strength.
"Then we can attack the Goguryeo cavalry's main formation!" Ding Yichen was really anxious. A one-to-ten war is not as simple as fighting ten. If the Goguryeo army adjusted the rhythm of the attack, the next step would likely cause a large number of casualties to the Tang Dynasty infantry. If that was the case, seducing the enemy would undoubtedly become a joke.
"Shut up, if you want to help, then go and add some codes to the Goguryeo people and let them press all their strength up as soon as possible." Li Ji waved his hand fiercely and interrupted Ding Yichen's words.
"Ah?!" Ding Yichen was stunned by Li Ji. While saying that he would not allow the cavalry to be dispatched, he also wanted to increase the price of the Goguryeo people. What does this mean?
"What, go and send a signal, look at the color, and choose the one that is the least important!" Li Ji had a deep worry about his subordinate's understanding, and his eyes clearly stated in his glaring: Why are you so stupid!
After a moment, three sharp roars soared into the sky, and yellow smoke exploded in the air!
"Brother Huizhen, the Tang people have begun to ask for help. Can your cavalry be sent out?" Gao Yanshou looked up at the yellow smoke in the sky, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Look at it again!" Gao Huizhen narrowed his eyes. He knew that the real power of the Tang Dynasty had not been taken out yet. The Mo Dao Hands in armor had not moved yet. If his cavalry were sent out, they would be hit first by their heads.
"Looking at it again, it's too late. If you can't rush over in a short time, Emperor Tang may take the opportunity to escape. At that time, our battle will be in vain. If you are surrounded by the Tang army again, it will be even more worth the loss!" Gao Yanshou is not a fool, so he doesn't know what the three signals are, but he can still simply infer.
Even if the three yellow smoke was not a signal to start an ambush, it was at least a signal to inform Li Er to escape soon.
Thousands of people died. If Li Er ran away, what if all the Tang army in front were wiped out? It would not be a disaster for the Tang army with a population of hundreds of thousands.
"Well, let them attack!" Gao Huizhen's eyelids drooped, showing a compassionate expression, as if she was paying silence for the 15,000 Tang troops opposite.
Behind the Tang army, on the small hill that was not high, Li Er put down the telescope in his hand, clenched his fists tightly, and gritted his teeth and asked, "Where has Wuji been? Is there any information sent back?"
"Your Majesty, there is not yet! I think the time is wrong, otherwise it should be activated now." A voice beside Li Er said in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Mao Gong has experienced many battles, and it is not a problem for just over 100,000 people in Goguryeo." Another voice also sounded at the right time, and gently persuaded him.
"I'll keep an eye on it, and report it immediately whenever there is any situation." Li Shimin took a deep breath. The most emperor who immediately conquered the world naturally knew that there were many surprises on the battlefield and that everything would not go well. Moreover, there were more than 50,000 cavalrymen in Goguryeo that were not moved, which was indeed not the best time for Changsun Wuji to attack.
"Your Majesty, the cavalry of Goguryeo has moved. It seems they are afraid that we will run away!" Just as His Majesty Li Er was planning to find a place to rest, Old Huo Cheng, who had been observing the movements of the battlefield, suddenly spoke with a hint of excitement in his voice.
"What? Move?" Li Er's originally gloomy face immediately flashed with excitement. He grabbed a telescope with his hand, and stood in front of his eyes and looked at the battlefield several miles away.
As long as the Goguryeo cavalry moves, no matter what their motive is, they will not be able to look back. The time for Changsun Wuji to launch the campaign has arrived. All I miss is to see if the old Changsun has reached the designated position.
"Mo Dao is ready! Welcoming the enemy!" With a shout, a sound of armor collision, the "long-awaited" Mo Dao Bing finally waited for them to show their power.
"Cabinet! Get on the horse to meet the enemy!" Ding Yichen had already left Li Ji's side and came to the cavalry formation that originally belonged to him.
Although the cavalry only had 4,000 but had to face about 50,000 Goguryeo cavalry, no one was afraid. Because they had the best equipment in the Tang Dynasty, the standard plate armor completely wrapped their bodies in steel. As long as they were not hit by heavy weapons or fell from the horse, they were invincible existences, and the 50,000 enemies were not taken by them at all.
From the beginning of the battle to the attack of the cavalry, it seemed that it had been a long time, but in fact it didn't take long. Some of the Goguryeo infantry who were attacking had just run to the Tang army before they had time to fight with the Tang army.
Nothing in the book develops quickly. After all, in the book, there are things that need to be introduced in three directions one by one. On the battlefield, the three parties of Li Er, Li Ji and Gao Yanshou happened at the same time.
"Roar..." The Goguryeo people looked at the pitiful cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, and all of them had hideous smiles on their faces. After receiving the order to attack, the 50,000 cavalry began to accelerate slowly. After the speed rose, they pulled out their own swords.
However, these Goguryeo people were still too optimistic. Although their strength increased exponentially with the blessing of war horses, according to later relativity theory, when they hit Modao, the power they endured was not much smaller than the power they added to the Modao array.
