Chapter 144

"Ambush, retreat!"

In the north of the gorge, a Tang army came out from the path and was ambushed by the Koguryo army. All bows and crossbows were fired!

Koguryo chieftain Gao Huizhen personally led the ambush. Koguryo general Wende led the elite archers of the northern army to launch a volley. The Tang army was defeated and retreated. A heavily armored infantry and a crossbow man came to the rear.

"Destroy the Tang army!"

Cui zaishan waved, and a team of Koguryo mountain infantry pursued the Tang army. The Tang army abandoned its armor and scattered its military flags.

"Sure enough, the Tang army that came to challenge a few days ago is just their elite cavalry. The Tang army is not invincible. "

Cui zaishan saw that the Tang army in the canyon left many booty, and immediately collected these weapons and armor. The equipment of the Tang army is undoubtedly a good thing for the Koryo Lord.

"The Tang army who attacked the rear of Koguryo reinforcements was defeated!"

This news soon spread to Chu Tian and others on the other side of the river at this time.

"No way. We have already reminded Li Shimin, why does he still send troops according to the original plan?"

Chu Tian is a little unbelievable.

Prince Yan, Prince gongziwen, Dahu and other lords can not believe that the failure of the Tang army's sneak attack has undoubtedly given the Koguryo army, which has been defeated in recent days, a dose of psychological tonic.

It seems that Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, did not listen to their suggestions at all.

"How many casualties did the Tang army suffer?"

"I don't know. There are probably thousands."

"If there are only a few thousand people, it will not hurt our muscles and bones, but it will have a great impact on our morale. And in this way, we can't defeat the Koguryo army on the opposite side. "

When a group of Lords of Chu Tian were discussing, Tang Jun was in a commotion again.

"Your Majesty has arrived at the Beiling mountain

The Tang army stationed in Xiling was shocked by the news of defeat and fell into a frenzy.

After becoming emperor, there are not many emperors who often drive their own expeditions. Even fewer emperors can win battles every time they drive their own battles!

"Li Shimin himself went out."

Chu Tian and others look at Beiling.

On the other side of the river, Li Shimin personally led 40000 Tang troops and 25000 Eastern Han troops to Beiling.

Li Shimin had fewer people with him than Li Ji, but he dared to appear on the shore of the Koguryo army.

The Koguryo army was also aware of the arrival of the Tang emperor, and all the troops and horses were on guard.

A black Armored Cavalry appeared from the horizon, and the battle flag of the Tang army was hunting in the valley wind! The gray haired Wei Chi Jingde holds the horse's name, and the tall horse still has the posture of attacking in the past!

"Xuanjia cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is a high-level heavy cavalry."

At present, Chu Tian, who has only one Koguryo heavy cavalry, can't help admiring Li Shimin's elite.

Compared with Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry, Koguryo heavy cavalry is nothing.

"They are the heavy cavalry of Tian Khan. They will be invincible wherever the iron hooves go."

Gao Huizhen and Yizhi Wende, who had just defeated changsun Wuji's partial division, prepared their troops to meet Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

The Xuanjia cavalry of the Tang Dynasty has brought them incomparable shock. We must block this elite cavalry, or a heavy cavalry can defeat tens of thousands of people.

"Set up horses and antlers!"

The Koguryo army spread various fortifications to prevent the Tang army's Xuanjia cavalry from charging.

Jiang Pang of the whole state army was sweating constantly on his forehead and holding the towel in his right hand shaking. He also knew that Li Shimin had an elite and heavy cavalry under his command, and no one in the field was Li Shimin's opponent.

"We have just defeated the Tang army of changsun Wuji, which shows that the Tang army is not a big deal. Yizhi Wende will defeat Li Shimin! "

Cui zaishan appeared with Yizhi Wende. He gave almost all the forces of Koryo Lord to Yizhi Wende. The commander-in-chief of Yizhi Wende can give more than 100000 troops bonus. He is one of the few top heroes in Koryo civilization area.

The only weakness was that the arms of the Lord of Gaoli could not compete with the Tang army of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, with tens of thousands of troops and horses, openly appeared in Beiling, where he interacted with Li Ji's 100000 Tang army, and was not afraid of Koguryo's million army at all.

The Tang army continued to send aznasher, the Turkic prince, to challenge Koguryo. The Koguryo army was highly tense and did not continue to be attacked.

Li Shimin was stationed in Beiling.

On the seventh day of the national war, the two sides were still confronting each other.

"What is Li Shimin thinking?"

Chu Tian and others have been waiting patiently. Li Shimin arrived in Beiling without any activity.

On the evening of the seventh day, a group of Tang army sergeants came to Chutian's camp and found Chu Tian, who had taken off his armor and had a rest: "summon the Duke of England."

Chu Tian followed Tang army sergeant to Li Ji's camp. Mingguan, the commander of the third army, was also summoned by Li Ji.

This is the second time Chu Tian has seen Li Ji, the British Duke of the Tang Dynasty.

"Kill pigs and chickens today, reward the whole army, and fight tomorrow."

Li Ji's words were very simple. He told Chu Tian and Ming Guan to fight the Koguryo army tomorrow.There are no other commands.

"The Tang army was as confident as ever about himself. After changsun Wuji was defeated, he even fought against the Koguryo army as if nothing had happened."

"Is there any other arrangement?"

Chu Tian and others can only trust Li Shimin.

The second and third regiments of the Eastern Han army slaughtered pigs and chickens to reward the soldiers.

Generally speaking, before the decisive battle, the soldiers will be given a good meal to stimulate their morale. Even if they are killed in the battle, they can be full of death.

"In tomorrow's decisive battle, everyone should pay attention to safety. When soldiers die, they can recruit again. If the Lord dies, it may have an impact on the future national war."

Chu Tian looks around his nine lords and ten guild presidents. Tomorrow's decisive battle may last for a long time, but there are millions of troops in front of him.

"At that time, Zhou Yafu, Pang Juan and Li Guang will be the main force, and di Qing and Hua Mulan will each lead a team of cavalry, waiting for the opportunity to move."

He simply deployed.

In a battle, it may take 90% of the time to try out each other. It takes only one or two days to decide the outcome.

Tomorrow will be the battle of Tang army and Koguryo army.

Everyone's mood is a little heavy.

The Tang army was not invincible, and changsun Wuji's partial division was repulsed by the Koguryo army.

On the eighth day of the national war, forty thousand Tang troops and twenty-five thousand Han troops in Beiling went out to battle.

Li Ji's 100, 000 Tang and 50, 000 Han troops went out to fight across the river.

Koguryo army realized that the Tang army was going to launch a battle, and they also went out of the camp to fight. They completely destroyed the Tang army when they defeated changsun Wuji and their morale was high.

To be on the safe side, the Koguryo army deployed a large number of horses and antlers around the square array, fearing that the Tang army would attack with iron hooves.

The second army of Chutian and the third army of mingguan were regarded as the reserve team by Li Ji, and the real main force of attack was Tang army.

"Maybe we can become the main force in the middle and late stage."

Chu Tian knew that the soldiers and horses of the Lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty were not qualified to serve as the main force in front of the Tang army.

When the Lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty recruited Iron Eagle scouts, Wei soldiers, Qin Ruishi and Liaodong iron cavalry, he might be qualified to claim that he was the main force of the Tang army.

Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry was not at the top of the list. Instead, they were heavy infantry of the Tang army, holding six foot infantry.

Compared with Chu Tian's cavalry commander's name for Hua Mulan, this infantry's name is much cheaper.

Chu Tian gave Hua Mulan a gold grade cavalry name, which was actually a luxury.

The Tang army's infantry covered the crossbow men and pressed into the Koguryo army, which retreated nervously.

"Everybody, don't panic!"

Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen worked hard to maintain the army.

Although the number of the Tang army was small, it brought great pressure.

After ten times the area of the gorge, the space is still small, and the advantages of the millions of Koguryo troops can not be brought into play, and only tens of thousands of people are on the front.

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, was in the highland of Beiling and looked to the south.

"It's not easy to fail if you are the eldest sun Wuji."

"Your Majesty, there is dust in the south."

"Order, the whole army to attack!"

With the sound of horns and drums, the Tang army launched an all-round attack!

The Tang army continued to advance, and the Xuanjia army of the Tang Dynasty coveted.

As long as the Tang army infantry in front of him destroy the antlers, Xuanjia army will launch an attack.

"There seems to be chaos behind the Koguryo army!"

He is watching the Lord from high.

Chu Tian quickly climbed to the highland. Sure enough, the dust was rolling behind the Koguryo army. It seemed that he was fighting with an army.

"Isn't chang sun Wuji's biased teacher defeated? Who attacked the Koguryo army? "

Chu Tian was quite surprised.

But it doesn't matter who attacked the Koguryo army, because the rear of the Koguryo army was attacked, and the time for decisive victory has come!

Ten thousand arrows were fired at once. The arrow rain of Tang army covered the sky like black clouds!

Hundreds of Koguryo infantry and archers were killed by the rain of arrows!

Koguryo archers fought back, tens of thousands of arrows in the air drawn a parabola in the air and fell on the shield of the Tang army.

When the two armies met, the Tang infantry tried to clear the antlers and clear the obstacles for the cavalry.

The sharp infantry pierced the wooden shield of Koguryo infantry and killed the Koguryo infantry on the opposite side!

Lines of heavy infantry of Tang army keep marching forward, trying to break down Koguryo's front!

"There is a Tang army behind us!"

"The heavy infantry of Tang army are destroying our formation, and no less than ten generals are killed in front of us!"

"The Tang army on the other side of the river is urgently laying a floating bridge to cross the river!"

"The cavalry of the Tang army is ready to attack!"

At the same time, Li Shimin, Li Ji and changsun Wuji were attacked by Koguryo's army!

"Second Wende, you lead the army to block the army attacking the rear!"Cui is hysterical and gives his hope to the famous general Yizhi Wende.

The second branch Wende gnawed his teeth. In his hand, he had only the low-level arms assembled by the high-ranking Lords. Facing the elite Tang army, he was determined to kill the enemy and could not return to heaven.

At this time, changsun Wuji led a strange army to kill from the rear. He followed Li Shimin in to fight in the north and south for many times. It was still easy to lead a single army to attack the rear area of Koguryo.

Koguryo in the rear lack of resistance, Tang cavalry stormed the rear of the panic Koguryo army, killing countless!

Tang will Xue wanche holding a long gun to kill, along the way a Koguryo Trooper smashed!

"Demolish the floating bridge of the Koguryo army and wipe out a million Koguryo troops!"

A group of Tang troops pulled down the floating bridge behind the Koguryo army and cut off its retreat.

"Li Hu, you lead the Xiliang cavalry to attack!"

Xu Fengnian, the commander of the Sixth Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty, ordered Li Hu, the pillar state of the Western Wei Dynasty, to lead the Xiliang cavalry and other cavalry of the regiment to launch a charge.

Li Hu, as the ancestor of Li Shimin, is also a family of generals. He is good at cavalry combat. Under his leadership, Xiliang cavalry is full of aggression!

Xu Fengnian has three ranks of Xiliang cavalry, but with the support of Li Hu, a military general with historical facts, a thousand Xiliang cavalry pioneers are like sharp spearheads, breaking through the Koguryo army!

Li Hu held a ring head knife in his hand, and kept cutting down the Koguryo soldiers in front of him!

The ring head sword splits on the shield, and the iron sheet of the shield is split by the ring head knife, making a violent collision sound and sparks splashing everywhere!

Xu Fengnian can see that his military achievements are increasing.

Sneak attack from behind can gain more military achievements!

Only Xu Fengnian knows what happened during this period.

Changsun Wuji's sneak attack was indeed ambushed by the goguryo army, but the defeated soldiers were the soldiers of the Eastern Han Dynasty who had replaced the Tang army's armor and equipment, which gave Gaogouli the illusion that the Tang army was defeated.

However, the real main force of the Tang army took the second path, went further behind and successfully attacked the Koguryo army.

The lower rank soldiers of the Lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty became bait. In return, their Lord could gain more combat achievements.

"That Korean army has appeared again!"

Xu Fengnian ordered Li Hu to lead the cavalry and follow the Tang Army General Xue wanche to assault. He watched the battle in the rear. After the collapse of the Koguryo rear army, the Koryo Lord allied forces came under the leadership of B branch Wende, barely blocking the Tang army.

"This Korean army again."

Xu Fengnian can see Li Hu and Xue wanche's cavalry gradually lose impact, can not help frowning.

The Gaoli United Army led by Wende of Yizhi was much stronger than the ordinary Koguryo army, which brought great resistance to the Tang army.

In front of the battlefield, the Tang army infantry has been fighting with Koguryo Jiashi, and the crossbow men are shooting.

The horses and antlers set up by the Koguryo army were destroyed.

"Xuanjia cavalry, let Gaoju beauty see the heavenly power of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin finally put into the elite Tang Xuanjia cavalry!

Veteran General Yuchi Jingde led a heavy cavalry, all of whom were wearing iron armor, into the battlefield. The cavalry held the horse's name in hand, and the armor was dark, and launched the attack.

"Crush the beautiful people and drive them to the river to feed the fish!"

Yuchi Jingde takes the lead and charges with Xuanjia cavalry!

Heavy horseshoes make the ground roar, Tang Xuanjia cavalry attracted everyone's attention, this black cavalry is swift and lightning, dust flying!

"Kill!"

Yuchi Jingde easily stabbed the Koguryo cavalry in the face!

"Kill!"

Tang Xuanjia cavalry horse hooves rolling, everywhere, people overturned!

Facing the high-level Tang heavy cavalry, the Koguryo army which resisted the demolition of the horse had no resistance.

"Your Majesty, Duke Bi requests to lead the Turkic cavalry to battle!"

"Exactly."

Li Shimin looked down at the vast battlefield. Yuchi Jingde's Xuanjia army had already torn apart the Koguryo army, and aznasher, Prince of Turks and Duke of Bi, led the Turkic cavalry.

Li Ji's 100000 Tang army quickly built three floating bridges and attacked the flanks of the Koguryo army.

All of a sudden, Li Shimin saw a small soldier in white riding a horse in the Koguryo army. He killed dozens of Koguryo soldiers. He was extremely brave.

"Who is that man?"

"I don't know. It should be the soldiers of the Duke of Guo."

"If he is alive in this war, he will be rewarded if he is summoned to see me."

"Here it is."

The Tang army attacked the whole line, and the second and third corps of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as reserve teams, entered the battle.

"Li Chengliang and Zu dashou, it's time for us to attack Liaodong cavalry!"

Mingguan took two generals into the battle.

The cavalry from Liaodong County followed the Tang army and killed all directions.

"Capture Koguryo's heavy cavalry as much as possible!"

Chu Tian's envy is not his military achievements, but his attempt to capture Koguryo's heavy cavalry alive.

Koguryo heavy cavalry have low loyalty to Koguryo, as well as excellent horses, iron armor and horse armor. The system of armor is almost the same as that of Central Plains.In other words, the capture of a heavy cavalry is worth tens of taels of silver or even hundreds of taels of silver!

For Chu Tian, who lacks heavy cavalry, Koguryo heavy cavalry is a small Treasury that can walk.
