Chapter 8 The first battle of breaking the army
Chapter 8 Pojun First Battle (")
The Sui army besieged Liaodong City for many days, but there was no way to deal with the Goguryeo who could not hide. Every day, there were countless casualties and injuries. If this continues, the Sui army will definitely be able to break Liaodong City in the end, but how many lives will be used to fill it is an unknown number.
The Minister of War offered advice to encircle Liaodong City with a large army, and then sent several troops to attack the cities near Liaodong with surprise troops. First, to cut off the enemy's retreat, and second, to break through Goguryeo's cities to obtain food and supplies, and to alleviate the difficulty of continuously transporting grain from the Central Plains.
After discussing with the ministers, Emperor Yang Guang ordered Yuwen Shu and General Yang Yichen to lead an army to move eastward to Pyongyang, and ordered Chen Kefu to lead the army camp out of Fuyu Road to find a fighter.
At this time, the entire army of Pojun Camp was ready to go. This was the first battle since Pojun Camp formed a single army, and everyone was a little nervous. Chen Kefu was also very nervous. These cavalry were only in his hands for less than half a month. He himself was not familiar with this army, but now he had to lead them on a journey. However, Chen Kefu had no choice but to have an elite soldier, he could only train from blood and fire, and he could only gain more bargaining chips for his time travel career through war.
Chen Kefu held a bowl of wine in his hand and said loudly, "Soldiers, drink this wine with me today. We will kill Goguryeo dog thieves together. On this trip, someone may fall down, and maybe someone will come back again. But for the hundreds of thousands of comrades who have already fallen in Liaodong, all this is worth it. Everyone, drink this wine, you have left your address in Sima. If you unfortunately fail to come back, then I will still take care of your fathers, wife and children in the family for you. If I unfortunately fall to the barbarians of Goguryeo, I will only ask you to burn a few pieces of yellow paper for me every year! The Sui Dynasty will win, and the Pojun Camp will be powerful!"
He tilted his neck and drank the wine in the bowl, and Chen Kefu directly smashed the bowl at his feet.
The three thousand cavalrymen had already left their home address according to Chen Kefu's order. The lord had the order that no matter which one died, the remaining military camps would help them raise the orphans, widows, young and old. Without this worry, the cavalrymen who had been in this military camp for so many days were also eager to go into battle to kill the enemy, earn military merits, and get rewards!
The soldiers who drank wine threw the empty bowls in their hands and shouted in unison.
"The Great Sui Dynasty will win, and the military camp will be powerful!"
"Send the order and the whole army will start to be transferred!"
Like a tiger out of the cage, and even more like a pack of wolves in the forest. As soon as Chen Kefu finished speaking, he rushed out of the camp like an arrow with the sound of horse hooves like strings.
Chen Kefu was wearing the gorgeous bright silver kirin bright light armor and riding the Western Regions horse, which Yang Guang gave without a single hair, was so conspicuous in the entire army that all the soldiers could see their commander in front of him at a glance.
Luo Lin brought fifty soldiers to guard Chen Kefu tightly. He did not agree with Chen Kefu's rushing in front of the team. According to his idea, Chen Kefu, the chief general of the army, should be in the center of the army, but Chen Kefu was unwilling to listen to him.
Their purpose of this trip was to the new city of Fuyu Road. According to the horse-striking news, there were nearly 20,000 Goguryeo guards there. However, although there were a large number of people, they were not the most elite front-line troops in Goguryeo. They were just some garrison soldiers. If they really fought, it was far from unknown who would win or lose.
Three thousand cavalrymen walked along the way, and the fields and villages were deserted. It was July, but the fields were deserted. While Chen Kefu rode his horse, he sighed. It seemed that the Battle of Liaodong not only consumed the national strength of the Great Sui Dynasty, but also hurt the national foundation of Goguryeo. This was the lord of the Central Plains and the king of the Far East. Now they finally started a life-and-death duel. Chen Kefu knew their ending, and the Sui Dynasty was covered in scars, and finally could not suppress the rebellion of the civilians and nobles in the country, and was the first to perish. Goguryeo did not laugh to the end. He overdrawn the Goguryeo people who had too many countries, and finally failed to suffocate for a long time after their opponent fell to the ground. They were finally destroyed by Li Tang, the replacement of Sui.
As they were getting closer and closer to the new city, only a few miles away from the new city, several cavalry rushed straight from the opposite side of Chen Kefu. The person coming was Mao Yi, who had just been sent out to reconnaise the enemy situation in the new city.
"Oh, I'm wrong. General, I've led people to find out the situation in the new city. The guards of the new city of Goguryeo already know our purpose. However, the other party did not defend the city, but sent ten thousand people out of the city to prepare for the battle. At present, the battle formation has been set up in this valley more than ten miles away from the city. I estimated that there were about 10,000 infantry and about 1,000 cavalry."
Chen Kefu turned his head and looked at each other with the veteran General Li Benlei, and saw a clear smile in each other's eyes.
"The Goguryeo people are so good at cooperating. God is really helping me to break into the military camp. If he doesn't leave the city, I will still have to worry about being unable to do anything about them. Since they are so proud of their appearance and go out of the city to fight, then let's help them."
"Hu Hai, Mao Yi obeyed the order."
"I'm here!"
"I'll order you two to lead two groups of troops, and then go straight to the opponent's left wing after taking over the formation. Try not to get stuck in it."
"Lu Shishen, Chen Qing and others obey the order. I will order you to lead two groups of troops each. After joining the formation, you will be able to strike out from the left wing. You must tear his left wing apart."
"Lord Zhang He led two groups of troops as a reserve team. Once the enemy's formation breaks, I ask you to go around the enemy right away and intercept his way back."
"The other five regiments of men followed me on the front. Remember to keep a distance before the enemy's formation breaks and use a crossbow to face the enemy."
"Abide by the order!"
Li Benlei had no objection after hearing Chen Kefu's order. Such an arrangement was already a very formal way of playing. After a simple temporary reorganization, the sound of horse hooves sounded again, and three thousand cavalrymen ran away with a roar.
Chen Kefu took the lead, his silver armor was so dazzling. The Goguryeo team in the distance was right in front of him. More than 10,000 infantrymen lined up into a huge square array, and there was a spear array holding spears. Outside the three arrays, there were about a thousand cavalry guarding the two wings.
"The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road! Kill!" Chen Kefu raised the long spear in his hand high and ordered loudly.
"Kill!" The Pojun camp made a roar that was terrifying, and the horse's hooves were like thunder. Three thousand cavalrymen who had been trained for many days rushed towards the formation of the Goguryeo people in a neat formation like surging waves.
Ten thousand arrows were fired at once, and this scene was very spectacular. Not far from the Goguryeo array, all the Sui army began to draw arrows, and they shot directly in front of the sky forty-five degrees. Such shooting was covered and did not require the accuracy of archery techniques. The key was whether you shoot quickly or not.
The Goguryeo, who were originally ready to fight with a spear and were fully prepared to guard against the Sui cavalry, did not expect that all the Sui cavalry suddenly used this move. When the rain of arrows and rain of arrows fell from the sky with strange sounds, the Goguryeo, who were lacking preparation and had no shields, fell to the ground and struggled, and the pain of pain continued to last.
The attacking troops only had time to shoot three rounds of arrows, and their square formations with the Goguryeo people were getting closer and closer. As they were about to rush to the front of the formation, the Sui army suddenly divided a team from left and right to kill the Goguryeo cavalry on both wings.
One hundred steps, fifty steps, thirty steps, and closer distances forced the Goguryeo people to reorganize their formation in panic, and layers of spear soldiers were rearranged in front of the formation. This is the best way to deal with the impact of cavalry. The spear pointed at the oblique front end has been deeply inserted into the soil. As long as the cavalry attacks, the cavalry's war horses will be ruthlessly pierced on the spear square formation.
However, when facing such a spear formation, the Sui army did not rush straight towards them without fear of death. Instead, they suddenly separated to both sides like small waves. Cavalrymen kept drawing bows and arrows along the outer edge of the square formation. The cavalry who were not good at shooting rushed to the front row with their spears in their hands. They used the spears in their hands to pierce the bodies of the soldiers at the outer edge of the infantry formation, and some even stabbed the two people directly with one spear. There was also a scimitar and spears that were constantly filled up. The entire Sui army rode their war horses and quickly raided around the Goguryeo infantry formation.
It was like making cut noodles with knife. With the continuous attack of the Pojun camp, Goguryeo warriors were like dough that was constantly being cut.
During this crazy battle, the cavalry in the military camp was stabbed off the horse with spears by the opponent, and then several infantry rushed forward to kill them.
It was like a gust of wind, and the next moment, the Goguryeo people suddenly discovered that the Sui army's cavalry had gone away again. Before they could figure out what was going on, the Sui army in the distance quickly formed a new array and roared and replaced it with bows and arrows. The rain of arrows that roared from the sky was once again nailed deep on the soldiers without shields. Amid the howling, the Goguryeo infantry array was constantly shrinking and chaotic.
Then the cavalry of the Sui army began to attack again, just like a nightmare. The spear formation they had prepared had no effect at all. They could only watch the opponent's cavalry constantly wandering outside the formation, taking away their lives.
