Turbulent Times Chapter 1149: The key battle
"This battle will be a key battle for us to establish our country in Annan County." Wang Junlin thought to himself, he knew that if he won this battle, the Goguryeo army would not dare to attack Annan for several years. On the contrary, if they are defeated, his 10,000-strong army will suffer heavy losses, and their vitality will be greatly damaged. Later, Annan Kingdom and Goguryeo, which he established, will surely continue to fight.
Moreover, Silla and Baekje will also have different opinions. After all, now Emperor Yang Guang of the Great Sui has returned with a disastrous defeat with an army of one million. Prestige has plummeted, and the original influence has long been lost.
………
………
Wang Junlin has already arranged the tactics, with the 11,000 cavalry he brought as the core, and the 30,000 cavalry of Silla and Baekje as the two wings, and the 3,000 cavalry led by Lieutenant Chi Jingde and Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba each had a thousand cavalry gathered in the middle, and on both sides of them were nearly 6,000 Sui cavalry gathered by the two young men in the early stage.
As the horn sounded through the mouth of Sanyang Valley, Yuchi Jingde led 3,000 cavalry, Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba each had 1,000 cavalry. Twenty-five people lined up, and the spears and knives erected on the array gleamed silver in the sun.
Each three rows is a combat unit. The first two rows wear scale armor and use one-foot-four-foot spears, and the third row uses thickened and widened one-handed waist knives. Everyone wears medium-defense, light-weight In chain mail, the cavalry in the same row are only three feet apart from each other, the distance between companies is two steps, and the distance between the front and rear rows is seven steps.
The 6,000 Sui Army ordinary cavalry on both sides still used their own cavalry tactics to kill the enemy, and the Silla and Baekje cavalry on both sides also had their own cavalry tactics.
Wang Junlin did not personally lead the charge, he was still in charge of commanding and dispatching from a higher position behind.
Yuchi Jingde is in charge of the unified command of the front line. At this time, Yuchi Jingde came ten steps ahead of the formation and looked at the Goguryeo army lined up opposite him. He didn't need to say anything to mobilize him. Let the whole army suffocate from top to bottom, and their fighting spirit is already overwhelming.
Both sides are excellent horses, but the horses of the Goguryeo army are obviously not in good condition
Okay, this is a good performance without rest along the way.
The horses on both sides felt the atmosphere of the battlefield, and violently began to paw the ground with their front hooves, snorting and shaking their heads from side to side.
At this point, the two sides began a brief confrontation.
The generals on both sides used this time to observe the enemy facing them, while the soldiers seized the time to complete the final battle preparations.
Wang Junlin took a telescope to observe for a while, and found that the nearly 50,000 Goguryeo cavalry were the direct cavalry of Yuan Taizuo, and they showed an 'elite' aura. Because Wang Junlin knew that only the elite cavalry who had experienced many battles could remain calm no matter what kind of opponent they faced.
Standing beside Wang Junlin, Shen Guoer looked up at the sky. The sky was overcast and heavy, and there was no wind in the air. Although the precious rhinoceros armor on her body was not as heavy as a soldier's iron armor, it was far less comfortable than a silk dress. She couldn't help wiping the sweat from her forehead.
Although Shen Guoer is strong in martial arts and protected by a small silver snake, this is the first time that the two sides have faced a battle of more than 100,000 cavalry. not cautious.
In fact, at this moment, Shen Guoer actually found herself a little nervous. She didn't know that Wang Junlin had already given her a high evaluation of her performance. Since ancient times, it has been common for people who have not fought to show their ugliness when they actually go to the battlefield. Among them, there are many famous officials and military officers with a history of thousands of years, not to mention that Shen Guoer is only a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old.
Shen Guoer took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in her heart forcibly, and looked at Wang Junlin's Chinese army general flag. It was composed of four chariots and dozens of riders and messengers with various flags. command system. It took a lot of trouble for these things to be transported here from the naval warships waiting for them on the northern coast. In addition to the five-color command flags commanding the battle, there are also several big drums, buttons, horns and other things-these all symbolize command on the battlefield.
At this time, Wang Junlin was wearing refined steel armor, standing on top of a chariot, pursing his lips, watching the situation on the opposite side intently
Potential.
Shen Guoer knew that this fine steel hundred-refined armor was personally made by master Nie Xiaoyu for Wang Junlin. Wang Junlin hadn't worn it before, but now he was wearing it.
This armor, if an ordinary person cuts it with an ordinary sword, it can barely leave a mark. And the most rare thing is that this kind of armor is lighter than ordinary chain mail. This kind of armor is actually a priceless treasure.
Wang Junlin carefully watched the entire Goguryeo cavalry camp with a telescope. He hoped to find a flaw in the Goguryeo cavalry formation, but he failed. He is the prime minister of Goguryeo and a civil servant, but he has already proved that he is quite good at commanding troops and arranging troops when he fought with Yang Guang leading the main force of the Sui army in the west.
"In that case, let's fight head-on first!" Unexpectedly, Wang Junlin spit out these five words viciously, "Order Yuchi Jingde to lead the three thousand men under him to charge the front of Goguryeo and tear the enemy apart. Army!" Since the enemy army did not reveal any flaws, it is natural to attack the front.
As soon as his words fell, Shen Guoer saw several large flags pointing forward a few times, and the sound of war drums and horns suddenly sounded together, and a deafening "dong dong dong dong" rang out in his ears. Boom......" "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Immediately afterwards, a thunderous sound came from the ground under his feet, as if the ground was shaking.
"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" Yuchi Jingde yelled three times with three thousand horses, and then rushed towards the Goguryeo army like giant pythons.
For an instant, Shen Guoer held her breath.
Shen Guoer saw thousands of Goguryeo cavalry marching up with shouts of chaos, and when he was a hundred paces away, he drew his bow and shot at the first few rows of Yuchi Jingde's party, but all the cavalrymen under Yuchi Jingde's command were dead Wearing fine armor, even the face is covered, only a pair of eyes are exposed, and even the vital parts of their horses are protected by thin armor. Although they are not as heavy as heavy cavalry, they have the protective ability of heavy cavalry.
So the Goguryeo people's bows and arrows shot at the cavalry rushing forward, and they fell down one after another like straw straws.
