Chapter 140 Ambush on Ten

The sky is collapsing, the earth is cracking!

For people in Goguryeo, the Han family in the Central Plains dynasty gave them a kind of fear buried in their minds.

For them, whenever a powerful dynasty in the Central Plains perishes, the Central Plains will always fall into division and disputes for decades or even hundreds of years. At this time, in the eyes of their tribes who claim to be wolves, the Central Plains people are just a group of lambs waiting for them to plunder.

Whenever they think about it, they can gather tribal troops and run to the Central Plains to plunder them. Instead, the original people built the Great Wall like sheep to guard against them. Isn’t this just wrapping themselves up like sheep? As long as they break the sheep pen, they can eat as much as they want.

But they will not forget that it is such a nation. Whenever their internal cleavage is over, it will be a nightmare for all the people of all ethnic groups on the Central Plains border. They will not forget that the founding of the Great Sui country only took a few decades, but they were the ones who broke the Turkic Khanate across the boundless grasslands. Even the Chuluo Khan is still stranded in the Great Sui country.

They will not forget that after the founding of Goguryeo, they were beaten by the Central Plains dynasty and were forced to move the capital three times and retreat to the Sanhan Peninsula. They will not forget that as soon as the Sui army came out, Goguryeo was forced to retreat to the mountain city. It took hundreds of years to develop to the west of the Liaohe River and several solid cities built there, but now it has become the three towns of Luhe, Huaiyuan Town and Tonghua Town of the Sui Dynasty.

I will never forget that after the Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo three times, although the Sui army withdrew its troops without success every time, their casualties and captive population also reached hundreds of thousands.

The Han people in the Central Plains represent the most gentle and fierce race in the world! Everyone can bully them during division. Once unified, it is a nightmare for all their border tribes. Every time these tribes will have blood flowing into rivers and their homeland will be ruins!

The war horses are galloping, and the iron hooves are roaring! Riding the spear is raised, and the knights are roaring!

The entire 20,000 cavalry suddenly emerged, which is the strongest combat force of the entire Liaodong Army today. There is a first cavalry brigade of the reserve that is fully organized by the three thousand Pojun Battalions, and dozens of reconnaissance battalions composed of elite hunters from various divisions and regiments. Even the independent light cavalry regiment that also retains the complete elite of Pojun Battalions is also in this team.

Guo Xiaoke took the lead, holding a horse spear, leaned down on the horse, staring at the Liao people's rear team in a hurry in the distance. Behind him was the brigade flag guard composed of elite officers, guarding the brigade flag with only half left.

The last time Chen Kefu revoked his number in public, and even the brigade flag was cut off half, which was an unprecedented shame for him. In any case, he, a general who claimed to be a great general, would use the blood of the Liao people to wash away the shame they had suffered before in this ambush.

Facing the Yanyue defensive formation set up in a hurry by the Liao people, he didn't see it at all. They had more than 20,000 cavalrymen, and the elite cavalrymen of the Yuanpo Military Camp, with 4,000 of them, were still in full organization. Not to mention that they had their veterans of the Po Military Camp, who had three thousand elite soldiers, who were extremely eager to use the blood of the Liao people to wash away their previous humiliating heavy cavalry brigade.

He didn't even see those thin spear formations. As long as the brothers from the heavy cavalry brigade charge, they could break through the Liao people's rear team and continue to attack the Liao people's central army.

When Yuan Taizuo made the first arrow in the canyon, he had already expected that things would be in trouble. As expected, the commander of the rear army sent guards to report that an elite Sui cavalry of more than 10,000 people suddenly broke into the canyon outside the east, and was coming to them.

More than 10,000 cavalry were not a small number, and since the Sui army suddenly appeared here and sent troops to attack from their origins. Judging from his years of experience, this was definitely not a lonely army. Attacking from behind must be to cut off their retreat. If you don’t mean it, the Sui people must have set up an ambush in this canyon. At least, there will definitely be a soldier in the west of their front to cut off their way forward.

Thinking of this, Yuan Taizuo's face turned pale. Even if he could already calculate the strategy of the Sui army, he had no choice but to meet in this valley. Only the brave ones won when they meet on a narrow road.

"The whole army set up its formation on the spot and deployed its defensive formation!" After making the order, he turned to the soldiers who came to report the message, "General Yuangai Tong told you which cavalry was attacking in the rear army? What flag was it?"

"When I go back to the commander, there are many flags among the Sui cavalry. The first flag is a black battle flag with only half of the face, embroidered with the four characters of heavy infantry brigade and a pair of white wings. The flags behind are all covered with banners such as the reconnaissance battalion of the First Division and the first registrar of the First Division. It is estimated that there must be forty or fifty such flags, among which there is a big flag embroidered with the word Li, which seems to be the banner of the main general of this cavalry!"

Yuan Taizuo was stunned after hearing this, "Braft? Battalion? As far as he knew, the Sui army's two teams were 100 people in one brigade, and the two brigades were 200 people in a regiment, which was also called a battalion. But the current love department is sorry for what he knows. Even if there are fifty camp flags, the number of people should be about 10,000, and the number is not much different. But I have never seen such a situation where there is no higher level in just a camp flag. The character Li was used to play the character Li, but he did not hear that any of the Sui generals who attacked Goguryeo this time had the surname Li. As for the flag with only half, it made him puzzled. According to the principle, the cavalry with more than 10,000 people would be at least one of the 24th troops of the Sui army."

Before he could figure out what was going on, a chaotic sound suddenly came, and a former army officer rushed over and reported loudly, "Master, General Yuan Jingtu ordered me to report, and the former army discovered the Sui army. The Sui army suddenly rushed out from the valley to the north. About 10,000 well-equipped Sui army infantry had blocked our army's advance. At present, the Sui army has arrived at our front army!"

Yuan Taizuo had a cold face and did not react in surprise. There would be Sui army attacking in the north to block his way forward. He had thought of this just now. More than 10,000 elite infantrymen, and the Sui army had as many troops as theirs. In terms of combat effectiveness, they must be a little worse. After thinking about it, he shouted, "Tell me the order, let General Yuan Jingtu lead the front army to slowly retreat with a defensive formation and move closer to our central army!"

"Dong!Dong!Dong!"

The sound of dull cowhide drums came, and everyone couldn't help but shake their heads and look around to find the place where the sound was made.

"Master, on the North Mountain, look, many flags are erected!"

Yuan Taizuo turned his head and looked up the Beishan Mountains that were several days away. Sure enough, the battle flags of the Sui army were raised everywhere. Just looking at the number of flags, the soldiers and horses were probably worth tens of thousands.

There were more than 10,000 elite cavalry of the Sui army in the back, and the front was blocked by more than 10,000 Sui army infantry. Not far from the middle army, there were another Sui army flags of hundreds of thousands of people. How could this not scare the Liao people? Especially many tribal lords, they regretted it at this time. They originally thought they would come to take advantage of the opportunity, but now they came to the door to ambush the Sui army.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

A series of roars suddenly came from the air, and many panicked young and strong men looked up and saw that when there was no idea that there were patches of Sui troops on the mountains on the north and south sides of the Jinshan Canyon. Next to them were hidden catapults such as the branches that had just been lifted off, such as Fuyuan crossbows, crouch crossbows, and large-scale long-range weapons.

The sound just heard in the air was the sound of the crossbow arrows fired by the Sui army. The Fuyuan crossbow distance reached 300 steps, and at this time it shot at them from the hillsides on both sides of the canyon and shot from a high place. The entire Liao people array was basically within the attack range of the crossbow arrows on the mountains on both sides of their sides.

As soon as a crossbow was gone, the nearly meter-long crossbow arrow could penetrate the bodies of three or four soldiers in an instant with a howling sound.

At this time, the soldiers of the Sui army's engineer battalion were beginning to string the largest crane crossbow, which was the longest-distance weapon in the world today, with a range of nearly 700 steps. What was even more frightening was that the crossbow it used was larger than the Fuyuan crossbow. Even if it was worn with a strong armor, it was shot by the crane crossbow, and even if it was wiped, its entire body would be one or two sections.

The more equipment on the mountainside were trenchers, and this time they did not bring many large catapults. Hundreds of catapults brought from Liaodong City were lined up, and at this time they started loading stones of five or six kilograms each. If they bounced, they would definitely kill one or two people.

The crossbow arrow shot from Fuyuan crossbow seemed to sound the horn of the Sui army's general attack.

A burst of hissing sound came from the south, and another Sui army was killed.

The battle flag was first, and it was only half, but it was the 6,000 troops of the First Infantry Brigade of the Reserve, led by Li Shimin and Li Xuanba brothers. The battalion flags were flying behind them, but the soldiers of the 18 light infantry battalions of the Fourth Division and the Fifth Division. They had long been ambushed here with the generals. At this time, they saw that the cavalry had blocked the retreat of the Liao people, and the first division had blocked the Liao people's way forward. For a moment, they were killing out of it and heading straight for the general flag of Yuan Taizuo of the Central Army.

The Sui soldiers on the North Mountain did not go down the mountain, but lined up on the mountain to watch the battle. Big drums kept ringing, and the Sui army and Liao soldiers below finally got closer and a fight began again.
