Turbulent Times Chapter 1134: Surprised again and again

Although more than 500 people were lost at the beginning of the war, every soldier on the Goguryeo side from Li Guangsheng to the following thinks that with their large number and three or four times the cavalry of the opponent, as long as they charge in front of the enemy After the melee battle started, it was time for the Sui army to be defeated.

So, although the Goguryeo reinforcements suffered heavy casualties in a short period of time, the drums in the back kept beating, and the soldiers in the back row seemed to turn a blind eye to the instant casualties of the soldiers in front, and ran two steps quickly to supplement their superiors. Then they fell under the Sui army's next round of crossbow arrows, or crossbow.guns, or stubborn stones and gunpowder packs, but the soldiers in the back row rushed up to fill their seats under the urging of the officers and orders... I have to say In recent years, the Koguryo army has been fighting endlessly for years. As long as it is a regular army, its combat power is quite good.

However, Li Guangsheng and other Goguryeo people did not know at all that the battle formation training, command mode, weapons and equipment, and combat concepts of the army they encountered today have surpassed this era by far. This is an army specially trained by Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu, combining Eastern and Western military training and combat models for more than a thousand years, and taking advantage of the characteristics of the army of this era.

The Goguryeo soldiers in the first row were all dead in a blink of an eye, and nearly half of the Goguryeo cavalry in the second row were also dead. However, 300 carbine guns on the 300-step-long refusing horse stand stabbed at them together. Although the stabbing speed was not fast due to friction, more than 300 Goguryeo soldiers in the first row were stabbed at once. , Juma's long spear easily tore through all the defenses on their bodies, and twisted their clothes into their torso and internal organs.

Gritting their teeth, yelling, or cursing in severe pain, these Goguryeo soldiers who were seriously injured and dying threw their weapons at the soldiers of the Sui army who were facing them behind Juma. Immediately afterwards, before they died or were seriously injured, they all grabbed the guns that were inserted into their bodies. As a result, most of these refusal guns only assassinated once. It can be said that the Goguryeo reinforcements were extremely brave.

However, the horse-rejecting guns connected by iron chains are simply the nemesis for the Goguryeo cavalry, and they will not be able to charge with them. You can only wait for your own infantry to use it

Life opened its way.

Wang Junlin stood on the command platform on the top of the short mountain and watched the fierce battle on the front line from the very beginning. He felt in his heart that these Goguryeo reinforcements turned out to be elite soldiers, most of them came from Pyongyang.

The infantry on the Goguryeo side in the middle of the canyon rushed forward in batches like this, and stabbed frantically across a layer of refusal horses.

Wang Junlin's face was solemn. Although their casualties were much less than the Goguryeo reinforcements, they still exceeded his previous expectations.

The strength of the Goguryeo reinforcements was stronger than he had imagined. The soldiers of the Goguryeo reinforcements swarming in front of Juma all squeezed forward desperately, trying their best to poke or chop the spears and sabers in their hands. Many of them did not see their opponents at all, because their vision was blocked by their companions. Crowded, but as long as they can find a gap, they will follow the instinctive experience of fighting on the battlefield for many years and throw their weapons indiscriminately.

However, Wang Junlin's unique long spears were the ones that waved the most weapons above the horses. They drew dense silver tracks in the air, and stabbed the Goguryeo soldiers on the opposite side to cry. Lin Lin, who stabbed indiscriminately, retreated again and again.

There were screams one after another on the front line, and the muffled sound of guns piercing the flesh was endless. At the same time, there were waves of brave shouts of Goguryeo soldiers.

After ten breaths, Goguryeo's infantry paid the price of more than a thousand people again, and finally broke through the repelling horse and cleared the road. At this time, including those who died in the previous long-range attack, there were nearly 2,000 casualties, while the Sui army had only more than 200 casualties. The casualty ratio was close to that of the attacking and defending city.

It took such a high price to break through Wang Junlin's horse-repelling battle line. Li Guangsheng's face was already very ugly. He never thought that he would lead the cavalry to charge the opponent's infantry with the cavalry and lead the infantry to attack the opponent's infantry. He had never even heard of the tactics of the Sui Army.

If they continue to lose at such a ratio between the enemy and the enemy, they will undoubtedly lose today.

"It's all right now, the long-range attack is over, and those damned horses have been broken, and the next hand-to-hand combat will be

Look at how your 10,000 infantry resist the charge of my 10,000 cavalry plus more than 8,000 infantry. "Li Guangsheng gritted his teeth and said.

Li Guangsheng straightened his legs, got up from the saddle, and stood up on the stirrups. The whip in his hand pointed at Wang Junlin's army on the opposite side: "Send orders, continuous assault. We can't give the enemy time to breathe. This They will be defeated within a stick of incense time."

However, the battle has just begun, and for Li Guangsheng, the 'surprise' and shock have just begun.

At the moment when the refusal horse was broken, the drumbeat of Wang Junlin's phalanx suddenly changed to slow drumbeats with intervals. Nearly 11,000 infantry stepped back seven steps in a row in an orderly manner, widening the distance from the already destroyed Juma. This scene made all the Goguryeo generals, including Li Guangsheng, shrink their pupils.

"This...how is this possible, how did they do it." Li Guangsheng shouted out, for the army of this era, without turning around, more than 10,000 troops can be swiped at once with a single command or the sound of a drum He retreated seven steps in a breath or two, and caused almost no confusion. This scene is just the most basic queue requirement for the army of later generations, but it will make it the first time for those who have seen such a scene in this era. People feel incredible.

"Leave the gun sideways!" Standing in front of Guan Xiaotong's roar, eleven thousand infantrymen, Guan Xiaotong, Lu Han and Luo Chunlai's respective subordinates, were divided into two echelons, and each echelon was divided into five squares. array.

At this time, the first three rows of long spears in the five phalanxes of the first echelon were all leveled, and each soldier turned to the right, with his left hand in front and his right hand behind, and the long spears were aimed at the direction of the Goguryeo reinforcements. , this action uses the left hand as the support point, and the right hand plays the role of controlling the gun body, which can be held all the way to the tail of the spear shaft, which can not only save energy relatively, but also increase the attack range of the spear to the maximum.

Since the infantry on Wang Junlin's side were all armed with long spears that were nearly four feet long, it was difficult for Goguryeo soldiers to accurately judge the timing of the thrust. However, he didn't stab the opponent. This kind of slow approach and looking for an opportunity is the most suitable for the battle with super long spears.
