Turbulent Times Chapter 1105: Kill one thousand and lose eight hundred
The military system of the Great Sui Dynasty, the country's standing troops were divided into twelve guards, and each guard had one general and two generals. Although there is only one level difference between a general and a general, many generals have been generals for a lifetime, and there is no hope of becoming a general.
Three days ago, Wang Rengong was still the general of You Yiwei, but yesterday morning, he had reached the pinnacle of his career as a general of the Sui Dynasty and became one of the generals of the Twelve Mansions. And commanding Zuo Wuwei, who is famous for being brave and good at fighting, is the most important soldier of His Majesty the Sui Emperor.
The original general of Zuo Wuwei was Mai Tiezhang. Although he came from a bandit, he had a high prestige among the soldiers, and he always took the lead in battles. I hope that the soldiers of Zuo Wuwei can return to their hearts.
Wang Rengong used to be Yang Su's personal soldier. He followed Yang Su on many expeditions and knew how to lead the army. Therefore, today, whether in public or private, he has no reason to back down.
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. Wang Rengong's bravery today has won the respect of all Zuo Wuwei soldiers. multiplied by. In a blink of an eye, his conical infantry had already penetrated more than 200 steps into the enemy's army, and as long as he advanced a few feet, the front of the soldiers could touch the flag of the Goguryeo forward commander.
"Capture the flag, capture the flag!" The soldiers of Zuo Wuwei shouted loudly, and under Wang Rengong's dispatch, they followed the new leader and rushed forward.
The bravery of Zuo Wuwei relieved at least half the pressure faced by Zuo Yiwei soldiers who crossed the river on another pontoon bridge on the right.
General Zuo Yiwei Yu Wenshu, who is over sixty years old, has already passed the age of personally leading an army and fighting for his life. Compared with Wang Rengong, he cares more about the coordination of the armies.
I saw teams of Zuo Yiwei soldiers crossing the bridge one after another under his dispatch and forming small square formations on the river beach. Several phalanxes responded to each other, and quickly connected to form a large phalanx, holding the bridge firmly.
A group of Goguryeo people saw that their soldiers could not shake Zuo Wuwei, so they tried to defeat Zuo Yiwei first, which hit Yu Wenshu's heart. I saw Yu Wenshu waved his hand, and more than a thousand crossbow carts on the other side of the river fired at the same time. With a "boom", ten thousand crossbows flew into the air, and the soldiers and horses of Goguryeo who were about to attack abruptly shot out a blank space.
"Heavy armored soldiers, move forward!" Although Yu Wenshu is despicable as a man, he is greedy as an official
, and I don't have much publicity, but being able to become a general is really achieved on the battlefield. I have a lot of combat experience, but after the mistake four days ago, I dare not slack off at this time. He gave orders loudly at the end of the bridge, and his orders were immediately turned into horn sounds, which were accurately conveyed to the ears of the soldiers at the front.
The heavy armored infantry at the front of the phalanx strode forward, firmly resisting the outermost Goguryeo soldiers and horses. The soldiers of both sides stabbed each other with steel knives and short spears at a distance where they could clearly see the expressions of the opponents on the opposite side. Layer after layer of people fell down, and layer after layer of people stepped on the corpses of their companions or enemies to stick to their opponents.
There were no shouts, and few people shouted. In front of the phalanx, there were only the sounds of weapons colliding with each other and flesh being pierced. The occasional screams and groans were quickly covered by the muffled sounds of fighting, and the soldiers persisted with ashen faces to see which side's formation collapsed first. Some people had a nervous breakdown before they died, and **** dripped down the edges of their boots. In the air, the strong smell of blood and feces are intertwined, making people want to vomit.
This war is just in response to the phrase describing the ancient cold weapon war, "Kill one thousand enemies, and self-damage eight hundred", and it is a real use of life to fill and fill. When both sides are elite soldiers and both have a desperate heart, whoever has more people wins, and whoever is ruthless wins.
Yang Guang has a large number of people, three or four times that of the Goguryeo people. Yang Guang is more ruthless than Yuan Taizuo. He can order the supervising team to kill all soldiers who dare to return without hesitation.
"Spearman, charge forward to fill your position!" Yu Wenshu was also used to seeing death, and the smell of blood and feces in the air could not interfere with his command at all. Lightly waving the corner flag, the light armored spearmen at the back of the phalanx rushed forward.
They are the cheapest troops in the Great Sui Army. Each of them has only one spear with a wooden pole and an iron head. But their running speed is the fastest in the army, and the lethality formed during the fast running is also the strongest in all armies except cavalry. The infantry spear, more than one foot eight feet long, pierced out at high speed from the gap deliberately left by the comrades in front, and directly strung the Goguryeo man on the spear point.
At the end of the round of stabbing, the former Goguryeo army on the right almost collapsed. A large number of soldiers dropped their weapons and fled, and were shot and killed by the supervisor team sent by Yuan Taizuo.
Yuan Taizuo ordered the right-wing general to come forward with his personal guards to recoil, but
It was a mixed array of spears and heavy armors like hedgehogs, but they couldn't find a place to attack, so they had to watch helplessly as the enemy's heavy armors closed half a step away from each other and slowly moved towards their own side. Big squeeze.
"Archers, get ready!" Yu Wenshu raised another red flag high. The shrill sound of horns echoed on both sides of the floating bridge. Hearing the sound of the horn, the archers who had just adjusted their formation on the river beach immediately bent their bows and pointed their feather arrows obliquely at the sky above them.
"Let go!" Yuwen Shuling waved the flag, and instantly the feathered arrows like locusts flew into the sky, passing over his own soldiers and the Goguryeo forwards, creating a war between the enemy's forwards and the follow-up troops. Arrow rain.
In such a situation where the enemy soldiers are next to each other, what is important for a volley of feather arrows is not the accuracy, but the strike density per unit area.
The well-trained Zuo Yiwei soldiers accomplished this goal efficiently. After three rounds of rapid shooting, a death zone appeared in front of the forward of the right-wing Goguryeo soldier Ma and the central army. The Goguryeo soldier who served as the forward lost support. .
"Rush forward for me, are you going to subjugate the country? If the Sui people kill you, none of you and your family members will survive." The Goguryeo commander Yuan Tae-jo, who was watching the battle from a distance, roared loudly.
Right now, it is purely a war of attrition between the two sides. Their military strength is no match for the Sui Dynasty. If this continues, they will collapse sooner or later. Moreover, Yuan Taizuo is absolutely unwilling to fight a war of attrition with the Sui Dynasty, because their national strength and military strength are far from being released. Sui fought a war of attrition. But Yuan Taizuo knew that it was impossible to retreat at this time. When the battle reached this level, whichever side retreated first and exposed its back to the enemy would inevitably lead to a real defeat.
"Those who retreat, kill them on the spot!" Yuan Taizuo shouted loudly, and ordered his own soldiers to lead a thousand soldiers to stride forward. Under his command, directly slashed and killed on the spot.
It has to be said that Yuan Taizuo was very ruthless and decisive. The **** killing stopped the entire army from routing, and the fleeing soldiers had to turn around and face the enemy's blade again.
Seeing that the situation is still critical, Yuan Taizuo waved the command flag, mobilized all the soldiers and horses around him, and fought with the soldiers and horses of the Sui Dynasty on the river beach.
I don't know how long it has passed, the blood mist rising from the battlefield has even covered the sunlight above the head.
