Turbulent Times Chapter 1067: Different offensive and defensive battles (2)

In addition to probing, this group of Goguryeo people also had to remove those marking stones along the way. Yuangai Suwen's mind is undoubtedly top-notch and smart in the whole world. He judged it yesterday Figure out the role of these marking stones.

When the Goguryeo shield chariot was 500 steps away from the opposite side, there was a sound of breaking through the air from the opposite side.

With a sound of "嗖", a ten-pound stone bullet flew out at a speed visible to the naked eye. The smoke and dust, the polished round stone bullet flew forward again, the speed slowed down a lot, it bounced on the ground again, and hit a shield car on the left flank of Goguryeo.

With a loud bang, the stone bullet slammed into the front fender, and the decelerated stone bullet was blocked by the thick wood. Countless pieces of sawdust were shot out, sprinkled to the rear like raindrops, and the large and small flying sawdust became like sharp blades, piercing the body and front door of the auxiliary soldiers behind, and the auxiliary soldiers pushing the cart screamed at the same time, covering their faces and The chest screamed loudly.

The two Goguryeo soldiers who supervised the battle team at the back slashed at the ground with their knives, hacking to death all the auxiliary soldiers who were howling and affecting the morale of the army, and who survived would be a burden.

The Goguryeo soldiers reached the 500-step mark on Wang Junlin's side. There was a continuous sound of breaking through the air ahead, and the catapults at the gap in the earth wall shot one after another. And ten long-range crossbows.

As early as these days, all the catapults and long-range crossbows on Wang Junlin's side had been calibrated in advance, and they had tested many times in advance, which greatly increased their accuracy, and the hit rate was as high as 50%.

Sawdust flew across the shield car, and the wounded Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers rolled and howled on the ground. Forcing the remaining auxiliary soldiers to move the shooting marks away, the main shield car formation continued to move forward, and they still needed to fill up the potholes outside the horse-riding ditch.

As they approached, the catapults and long-range crossbows on Wang Junlin's side became more accurate, and the shield vehicles stopped after being hit, and the line became untidy.

Amidst the screams, the casualties of Goguryeo's auxiliary soldiers increased rapidly, the screams continued, and the auxiliary soldiers who had collapsed screamed and fled beside them. The place is full of dead bodies.

Goguryeo's auxiliary soldiers also have a name - cannon fodder, many of them are made up of prisoners and the most humble people in the country, which has been a tradition in Goguryeo for hundreds of years.

"Don't turn back, go forward!" The Goguryeo warlord shouted loudly, waving a knife, "Protect the front door with your hands, don't try to run!"

But at this time, the auxiliary soldiers were covered with sweat, their lips trembled violently, and their eyes were full of panic. The roaring stone bullets and piercing crossbows. Such a scene has never appeared in the worst nightmare of these auxiliary soldiers, and their spirits are already on the verge of collapse.

Boom!

There was another loud noise, fifty steps away, a stone bullet weighing more than ten kilograms shattered a shield car with a whistling sound, and countless pieces of wood exploded from the shield car, flying into the air, and falling into the sky one after another. Among the group of archers behind them, there were two loud bangs, the two shield vehicles became parts, and the auxiliary soldiers and archers behind them fell all over the ground.

An auxiliary soldier yelled, turned around and was about to flee, but was chopped down to the ground by a war supervisor soldier. Soldiers shot like hedgehogs.

Suddenly there was a sound of gold ringing, and the surviving auxiliary soldiers were shocked. At this time, a Goguryeo general shouted loudly: "Retreat according to the training, don't run around!"

The Goguryeo soldiers turned around and retreated one after another. Their pace was much faster than when they came, and the formation was still neat. Trees, but making a shield car is also time-consuming and labor-intensive.

All the auxiliary soldiers burst out their survival potential, pulled the shield chariot and walked quickly, and after dropping more than a hundred corpses, they quickly withdrew from the dangerous distance.

…

…

Wang Junlin witnessed the whole process of the first battle with binoculars, and he can only say that he is quite satisfied. The stubborn rocks and crossbow guns are consumed too quickly, which makes him a little worried. There will be casualties, and their strength is too small to withstand consumption.

Putting down the binoculars, Wang Junlin turned around and asked Zhang Tiangang who was following him, "Is there any information from Guo'er?"

"My lord, I am about to report to you. Guo'er drifted a piece of information in a porcelain bottle, and was discovered by our patrol boat. Some useful news came. Goguryeo now has more than 14,000 troops. , The provisions and food have been carefully calculated, but they will last for half a month at most. Guoer also secretly spread some rumors according to the instructions of the adults, trying to shake their morale as much as possible."

"Guo'er did a good job. After this battle, maybe Guo'er will make a big contribution." Wang Junlin recently discovered that Shen Guo'er's ability is better than that of his brother Shen Guang.

"Where are the captives caught from the sea! Did you get anything?" Wang Junlin asked again.

"A naval general of Goguryeo was captured, but this person was from a noble family of Goguryeo, and he was a county magistrate named Li Xiaoli. When he was at sea before, he led 3,000 sailors and hundreds of large and small warships. The sailors who attacked us caused some confusion in our formation. He was lucky to survive, but his leg was injured and he was directly captured alive by our people in the sea."

Wang Junlin raised his eyebrows and said, "You mentioned him specifically, did this person provide any useful information?"

"My lord, he is willing to surrender." Zhang Tiangang grinned.

Wang Junlin stopped in his tracks and asked, "What sincerity did he show when he said he would surrender? How can we be sure that he is not pretending to surrender?"

"He said that Yuan Taejo's situation in Goguryeo is not good, which is consistent with what we have learned before. He knew that even if Yuangai Suwen captured the small town where Baekling fell, as long as we don't rescue Baengling Island, The army led by Yuan Gai Suwen will only die on the island in the end, so he thinks that he is doomed, and he wants to seek refuge with the Lord."

"This is a good start." Wang Junlin said with a smile: "This is the first time that a captured Goguryeo general offered to join him. He was a nobleman in Goguryeo. How to deal with it?"

"According to what Li Xiaoli said, Yuan Taizuo will probably kill all the men in their family and make all the women slaves."
