Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When the Goguryeo people fought through the thunder cannons and rain of arrows at a heavy casualty, the distance between the two sides was less than ten feet. However, the Goguryeo soldiers did not relax, and their faces became more solemn. Then they clearly heard that the Tang army was  The general ordered to light the fire again, and then black grenades the size of cantaloupes were thrown over. Then before everyone could react, the explosions had already connected into one, and countless shrieking fragments were flying on the field. Even if it was again  Thick armor can hardly block these fragments.

    The two armies have not really started to contact, and the Goguryeo people have already suffered nearly 10,000 casualties. Of course, most of them were injured by gunpowder weapons. The actual number of people killed by the explosion is still a small number. However, these nearly 10,000 casualties have already reduced the number of Goguryeo people.  The attack formation was in disarray, and the momentum of the charge was no longer as ferocious as before.

    The soldiers of the Tang army, who were good at seizing the opportunity, roared in unison, ¡®Kill!  kill!  kill!  ', and then like a group of tigers, they rushed into the Goguryeo army formation. For a moment, the waves of blood rolled and the sound of killing was loud. In this situation, human life has become a piece of grass, being harvested by the god of death one after another, and then  New ones have been added.

    Li Min and Li Shimin pressed the formation in the rear. The first wave of troops to rush forward was only 50,000 Tang troops, and the remaining 20,000 were as reserve troops to deal with various possibilities at any time.  The Tang army's offensive was extremely sharp. Although it faced a Goguryeo army that was twice as large as its own, as soon as it came into contact with the opponent, it was like a steamroller, pushing the front all the way to the Goguryeo side, especially Li Daozong and Zhang Jian.  , Cheng Mingzhen and other fierce generals led the troops, like a few sharp knives, quickly divided the enemy.  Then eat it piece by piece.

    It had only been two hours since the war started, and the 100,000 Goguryeo army that entered the field first had already been somewhat defeated. Yeon Gaesumun who was behind was also shocked by the sharpness of the Tang army, and hurriedly ordered three soldiers to be selected from the 50,000 reserve troops.  Thousands of people were divided into two teams to rescue.

    Li Shimin saw that the other party finally used the reserve team, so he naturally responded by dividing the 30,000 troops around him by 20,000.  One on the left and one on the right, they resisted the opponent's reinforcements respectively, and then ordered Niu Jinda to lead three thousand Xuanjia troops.  Attack the main battlefield as quickly as possible and strive to overwhelm the opponent in the shortest possible time.  Set up a victory.

    The Xuanjia Army has always been the trump card in the army. As soon as they appear, it will be the moment to decide the outcome of the battlefield. Niu Jinda is fortunate enough to temporarily lead this legendary cavalry. Naturally, he feels very honored. After receiving the order, he clasped his fists and roared.  , using himself as an arrow, he rushed forward with this heavily armored cavalry.

    Li Min is also very curious about this legendary army, which he usually only knows about.  The Xuanjia Army has the best treatment and equipment in the army, and their armor is also different from that of the general Tang Army. Not only are the soldiers covered with black armor, but even the horses are extremely tightly wrapped in armor.  It¡¯s just that most of the previous wars were siege battles.  Naturally, the cavalry was not needed, so he never saw the Xuanjia Army take action. Now that he finally had the opportunity, Li Min naturally opened his eyes wide.

    I saw that the Xuanjia Army, led by Niu Jinda, quickly increased their horse speed to the limit, even though there were only three thousand people.  But during the charge, one felt a sense of suffocation as dark clouds pressed in. Before anyone arrived, the murderous intent had already driven down the Goguryeo soldiers in front, and they were completely discouraged.  As soon as the two armies came into contact, they saw that the Xuanjia army was like a red-hot steel knife cutting into butter. In the blink of an eye, it had torn a hole in the middle, and like a chisel, it divided the large Goguryeo army.  Wherever the horses' hooves passed, corpses were scattered everywhere.

    The Xuanjia Army moved in and out of the Goguryeo army. Every time an opening was opened, the Tang army took the opportunity to rush in and outflank and eliminate the Goguryeo soldiers. This made it even more difficult for the Goguryeo army to parry, and the Yeongae Somun faction  The 30,000 reinforcements that arrived were entangled by the 20,000 Tang troops, unable to rescue them. Seeing that the overall situation was determined, Goguryeo's defeat was imminent.

    Seeing this situation, Yeon Gaesumun knew that he was on the verge of life and death. The 20,000 elites he had reserved around him finally began to be used. Under the personal leadership of him and his third brother Yuan Jingwu, 20,000 people came from the left together.  Rush out from the side, aiming directly at the 10,000 Tang troops blocking the reinforcements on the left.

    Seeing this situation, Li Min was shocked. The 10,000 people on the left were the Tang army led by Wang Wendu. Although they were also elite, they might not be able to withstand the siege of 30,000 Goguryeo elite.  Once the left side is defeated, the Yuan family will have room for maneuver. They may take advantage of the situation to enter the main battlefield and fight the Tang army head-on. However, this approach is too risky, and the opponent is more likely to take advantage of the opportunity when most of the Tang army is entangled to launch an attack.  Kill them here. After all, as long as Li Shimin is captured, will this war still be fought?

    However, when Li Shimin saw this situation, he smiled coldly and said: "Young son of the Yuan family, I really think I am old. Come, I will personally lead the army and fight with the young son of the Yuan family!"

    Hearing that Li Shimin was going to go into battle in person frightened the generals around him. However, now that Li Ji was commanding on the main battlefield, Niu Jinda, Li Daozhong and other importantNone of the generals were there. They wanted to persuade him but did not dare to do so, so they all looked at Li Min together.

    "My father is so powerful that we must not take risks. I have so many famous generals in the Tang Dynasty. Any one person can defeat the enemy. Why should my father take action?" Li Min also knew that he was the only one who had enough weight to speak, so he hurriedly persuaded him with his hands on his horse.

    Seeing Li Min taking the lead, the surrounding generals immediately had a backbone and warned His Majesty not to move lightly, otherwise it would shake the country of Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin also spoke out of anger just now. He has the responsibility of the world, so naturally he dare not  It was easy to take risks. Now Li Min and the generals persuaded him, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I will allocate five thousand elite troops. Which general is willing to lead the battle?"

    As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, seven or eight generals suddenly appeared, shouting that he was willing to lead the army to defeat the Yuan clan. These generals were all relatively young. The reason why they were not allowed to go to the battlefield was actually because they were young, energetic, inexperienced, and afraid to go on the battlefield.  Acting on impulse will ruin the overall situation, so we put it aside to temper their temper.  However, they were extremely reluctant in their hearts. Now that they saw the opportunity to go to the battlefield and perform meritorious service, they naturally rushed to be the first and even quarreled with each other.

    Li Min was watching with interest when suddenly someone beside him said, "Your Highness, our brothers also want to go to the battlefield!"

    As soon as he heard this voice, Li Min knew it was Hu Li. He turned around and saw that this giant man was riding a very strong horse and staring at him with a bloodthirsty look on his face. Zhou Long beside him didn't say anything.  He didn¡¯t say anything, but his eyes were full of enthusiasm.  The main reason why these two war maniacs came to Liaodong was to live out the addiction to war, and protecting Li Min was just a side trip. That must be what they thought in their hearts.  However, as Li Min's personal guards, they usually have no chance to go to the battlefield. They can only watch others galloping on the battlefield, and when they saw the Xuanjia Army's grace on the battlefield just now, they were even more itchy.

    "The other party is the last elite of Goguryeo. That is no joke. Are you sure you want to go?" Li Min asked helplessly. He had promised them at the beginning that he would give them a chance to go to the battlefield, but now the war is about to end.  Well, if you don't fulfill your original promise, then you will break your promise to others.

    "Your Highness, our remaining 700 tiger-headed troops have reached the limit of their age. If we miss today's battle, I am afraid that even if we have the opportunity in the future, we will not have the strength to pick up swords and guns. Please help us, Your Highness."  I'm waiting, even if we die, we want to die on the battlefield!" Before Hu Li and Zhou Long could reply, a tiger-headed soldier who had been guarding Li Min suddenly bowed and said, his tiger eyes filled with vicissitudes of life flashing  A hint of determination.

    "Your Highness, please grant your permission!" Other approaching tiger-headed troops also bowed and begged.  The Tiger Head Army was originally born for the battlefield, but after the country was destroyed, they had to put aside their pride and dignity as soldiers and became pirates that were despised by the world. Now they finally have the opportunity to recreate the style of the Tiger Head Army. Naturally  They are all full of heroism.

    "You" Li Min looked at this group of veterans with gray ears and temples, and understood the mood of these people very well. In their opinion, the honor of the Tiger Head Army was more important than their own lives back then, but today they just want to  On the battlefield, regain the glory of the past.

    "Okay, I'll tell you!" Li Min couldn't refuse, so he finally sighed and said in a heavy tone.  Although these people were the elite of the elite back then, firstly, they have not been on the battlefield for many years, and they are also old. Secondly, they are outnumbered and outnumbered. I am afraid that after this war, I don¡¯t know how many people will sleep here forever?

    Li Shimin was not at ease with these young generals who were asking for battle. When he was hesitating, he suddenly saw Li Min walking over with two generals. He saluted him and said, "For the record, father, two of my ministers are coming to me."  Emperor Father recommends that we will definitely be able to defeat the elite Yuan clan on the left!"

    "Oh? Are these two people behind you?" Li Shimin looked at Hu Li and Zhou Long up and down, and found that these two people were really impressive, and there was no difference in their appearance when facing him, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.  Coupled with Hu Li's extremely strong physique and Zhou Long's fierce aura, people can feel the other person's extraordinaryness at the first sight.

    "I would like to inform my father that these two men are the generals of the son's house, named Huli and Zhou Long respectively. When they were in Dengzhou, they helped the son defeat the 60,000-strong army that invaded Goguryeo. Not only were they very brave, but they were also  They are all talented generals. If they lead the troops, they will be absolutely foolproof!" Li Min reported loudly.

    "It would be fine if someone else recommended him. Li Min was his favorite son, and his talent was recognized, so Li Shimin didn't doubt his words.  Moreover, with his ability to recognize people for many years, he could also see that both of them were extraordinary people, so he nodded and said: "Okay, then I will order you two to lead five thousand troops. Do you have the confidence to defeat the enemy?"  ?¡±

    Hearing Li Shimin's question, Hu Li and Zhou Long immediately stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the general will be like this."?If you can capture the opponent's general, you are willing to be dealt with by military law!  "
