Chapter 121

Progress as a wall

Above the teahouse in the south of the city, Chen Kefu, who was overlooking the south city gate, Li Benlei and others looked there in surprise, feeling a little confused about the scene they saw.

It was so shocking that the seemingly slow movement of the heavy infantry and the infidelity of the tactics had completely shocking results. The row of ten thousand walls, whether men, women, young and old, were still wearing armor or not, and even some of the Liao people who were behind the scenes were riding war horses, but it was not gorgeous at all. Everything was chopped in half. Even the knight riding war horses was the same. The long sword of the horse was cut in from the upper body of the horse's knight, then cut through the entire body diagonally, then cut through the neck of the war horse, and finally came out of the body.

The knight on the horse suddenly split into two, and half of the horse suddenly fell off the horse. The horse was still inertia, with four hooves and headless horse body, and the knight with only half of the body rushed forward a few steps before falling down.

Along the way, everything that was blocked in front of heavy infantry was really a god blocking the killing gods, and a Buddha blocking the killing Buddhas. The long sword that was more than meter long, the light blade reached a sharp edge of more than four feet. This was completely more beneficial than the horse spear used by the cavalry generals!

Chen Kefu clearly heard the teahouse on the battlefield full of tear and killing sounds in a brief silence.

"Gudong!"

I don’t know who swallowed a saliva, but Chen Kefu felt a little itchy in his throat, and he hurriedly followed him with a saliva. He turned to look at the generals next to him, but found that the general was similar to his performance. Even Li Jie and others were even more surprised. The boss was staring at him with his eyes staring at him.

"That's really the heavy infantry brigade? Not the soldiers of the heavy cavalry brigade in the devastating military camp?" Li Jie asked in confusion.

Mr. Li Benlei nodded, "Then there are indeed soldiers from the Heavy Infantry Brigade below, which I arranged by myself. The two people in front are Li Shimin and Li Xuanba, the colonel commander of the First Regiment of the Heavy Infantry Brigade, and Li Xuanba."

"It's incredible! The Heavy Infantry Brigade is a new recruit. Except for more than 400 veterans in the military camp, these are all civilians selected from the civilian camp, and they are not even selected from the auxiliary camp. Why are they so powerful?"

Chen Kefu rubbed his face and gradually recovered. "The appearance of the Heavy Infantry Brigade is indeed quite shocking, but they were raiding just now, and they were not attacking Liao soldiers. Most of the Liao people near the city gates were slaves and women and children, so they should not be considered a big deal. If they really fight with the Liao people, it is a big deal to maintain this formation. But it can be seen that these Heavy Infantry soldiers are of good quality."

Lu Shishen seemed to have just woken up from his dream and said loudly, "It's so good. These damn are all a group of killing gods, generals, what they are holding is the Modao you mentioned?"

Chen Kefu shook his head and smiled, "Not all, there are more than 2,000 horse-slashing swords from the past. I asked the craftsmen to process it. The blade is more than four feet long and the handle is more than five feet long, and the total length is one meter. Later, the craftsmen were asked to shoot a group of them urgently. The new ones were Modao, which was much heavier than the processed horse-slashing swords, with about twenty-four pounds each. The blade was also increased by about one foot. The two-edged swords of Modao, five feet long and five feet long, are the most suitable weapons for infantry to deal with cavalry. Just like you see, like a wall advancement, one knife and two cuts. However, the real use of the Modao still depends on formation, and there are many types of troops. Not only should the cooperation of infantry, but also the cooperation of cavalry?"

Lu Shishen said a little disbelief, "My mother, he was so scared to death with the fighting style they had just now. Such a knife wall was slashed over, which one could hold it? Could it be that the commander had any better way?"

Everyone in the teahouse turned to look at Chen Kefu. The tactics of the heavy infantry's tactics had already shocked them. Could it be that Chen Kefu really had any better tactics?

"Actually, the better way is to mix all the troops. When the battle is made, infantry crossbowmen are arranged in front of the formation, and the enemy formation is close to 150 steps, the crossbowmen will immediately fire arrows. When the enemy formation reaches about 60 steps, the crossbowmen will retreat, and the infantry strong soldiers who are standing behind will fire arrows. If the enemy formation reaches about 20 steps, all crossbowmen, archers will abandon arrows, and the Mojiu formation will be promoted like a wall. The archers and crossbowmen will abandon bows and crossbows, and hold the long ones.

Spear and horizontal sword followed Mo Wan team into the enemy formation and handed over the short hand. When the momentum of the infantry such as Mo Dao was blocked, the cavalry on the flanks were covered and the infantry was prepared to enter again. The crossbowman and Mo Dao team temporarily retreated and reorganized the team. The infantry was ready to support again, and both infantry and cavalry were used, with both offense and defense. The infantry was the vanguard, the cavalry was the side auxiliary, and the infantry was equipped with crossbows, Mo Dao, and the cavalry were responsible for the assault and pursuit of the infantry after the war. This was the best use of Mo Dao.”

After listening to Chen Kefu's words, Li Jie frowned and thought for a while, and couldn't help but admire Chen Kefu. The most difficult thing about the emergence of this new soldier is to cooperate with the old soldiers. As Chen Kefu said, although the Modao is strong, there are still restrictions. One person has a small number, and the second is the speed, it is slow. If you take it out to fight alone, although the individual soldiers have strong combat power, it is easy to be restrained by other soldiers. However, as Chen Kefu said now, if multiple soldiers fight in a mixed manner, you can maximize the combination of combat power and give full play to the advantages of various soldiers.

Li Benlei looked at Chen Kefu with a smile and nodded happily, "The General is becoming more and more wise. Not only is he far-sighted, he has formed such a shocking heavy infantry, but he also invented such a powerful weapon. What surprised me even more was that after inventing Mo Wan, he could come up with a supporting supreme tactic. It really makes us admire him!"

Chen Kefu smiled, "Weapons and equipment are dead, only people use him. No matter how strong the armor is, they still have to be good soldiers to play their roles. Especially for this Modao, if you want the heavy infantry to exert strong combat power, the requirements for infantry will be very strict. As long as the heavy infantry is truly trained, it must be the best force of infantry against cavalry. I think the heavy infantry led by the two brothers Li Shimin is indeed good. I heard that these two kids have been learning military tactics with General Li Jie recently. It seems that all this is well taught by Chief Li."

Li Jie smiled helplessly, "These two kids are really hardworking, especially Shimin. They are not like ordinary families who are willing to endure hardships. They will definitely be extraordinary in the future. However, I came up with this simple set of tactics based on the characteristics of the horse-killing sword and heavy infantry armor, but I didn't expect that Mo Dao was such a powerful weapon. It was better for the commander to talk about the Mo Dao's tactics just now. It seems that he must ask your brother-in-law for advice in the future."

"I must get a sword in a while, it's a thief. This thing is much more terrifying than a horse spear. It's a little shorter, but the horse spear is three feet long. Well, I turned around and asked the craftsman camp to make me a reinforced one, and also made a thief. I'm going to work on the battle formation. Who else can't be knocked down?"

At this temporary command headquarters set up in the teahouse, Chen Kefu and others discussed Mo Dao while watching the situation on the battlefield below.

Although the recruits were in a mess at the beginning, fortunately they were fighting an ambush. Under the command of the elite backbone officers who broke into the military camp, the Sui army quickly grasped the situation. According to the previous combat plan, the officers followed the routine that had been practiced several times yesterday, and followed the same steps.

The first one was the soldiers holding large shields. When they heard the whistle, they rushed out of the shops and houses on both sides of the street. They quickly formed a wall of shields, constantly squeezing towards the Liao people, and squeezed them back to the open land at the southern city gate.

Following closely behind were all the shooters who could hold crossbows. They occupied all the high positions, city walls, roofs, and shot arrows into the formation one by one, regardless of whether they were shot or not. Many shooters participated in the battle for the first time, and they didn't know where the arrows were shot at at the beginning. Fortunately, after the first moment, these people finally began to adapt to the atmosphere of the battlefield.

When they shoot arrows with their bows, they can also achieve their level of the past. As Liao people fell to the ground, most of the soldiers who completed the murder business for the first time were pale. Some people could not even overcome the fear of killing people for the first time, and they couldn't help but vomit.

When Gao Yuzhen and Gao Yannian were initially thinking that Gao Jianwu wanted to annex them and set up a trap to ambush them. He also sent people to explain to Gao Jianwu constantly and demanded a truce. When he found that the people there ignored them, he slowly finally realized that the army in front of him was not Gao Jianwu's men at all, nor were they even Goguryeo's soldiers. The ambushing troops that rushed out of the house were all wearing the armor of the Sui army.

After thinking about it, the two of them also found that things were going big. One might be that the withdrawal of the Sui army was just a trick of the Sui people. They pretended to withdraw their troops, but arranged a soldier and horse to the back. As soon as Gao Jianwu left the city to pursue him, the Sui people immediately turned around and took the opportunity to seize Gao Jianwu's Liaodong City, and Gao Jianwu might not know it yet.

Another possibility is that Gao Jianwu, who left the city, was surrounded by the Sui army and sent a group of troops to steal the Liaodong city. Gao Jianwu was even defeated or fled.

But no matter which one is possible, the result is that Liaodong City has fallen into the hands of the Sui people. When they think of the Sui army with millions of troops, the two of them, who have always been huddled, began to feel a little panic and fearful. They came this time with the purpose of taking over Liaodong City, but they never thought of dying here.
