Chapter 140 The Great Tang Is Ferocious
The 2,000 Tang cavalry held their spears. Although they were not strictly heavy cavalry, they were equally well-armored. They rode excellent Turkic horses, and they fought 10,000 Goguryeo cavalry without hesitation!
The Goguryeo cavalry was caught off guard and was attacked by the Tang army cavalry, which immediately became a mess.
Barely shooting two rounds of arrow rain, the Tang army cavalry armed with spears had already broken into the Goguryeo cavalry, and the hundreds of Goguryeo cavalry in the front were pierced by the spear!
One Tang general held a horse lance and rushed left and right, killing the Quartet, and one person stabbed more than a dozen Goguryeo cavalry!
The cavalry led by this general Tang is full of attack power and is invincible!
"Really a fighter."
When Chu Tian saw Tang General's ferociousness and the cavalry he led nearly broke through, he couldn't help feeling emotional.
Maybe this cavalry is the elite of the Tang army, but it is not Li Shimin's black armored cavalry, nor is it the Yulin army and Baiqi who serve as imperial guards.
If it is Li Shimin's cavalry, it is possible to fight 10,000 against 10,000.
Seeing that the lord praised the other generals, Hua Mulan raised her head and seemed to want to say that she was not bad.
Chu Tian saw Hua Mulan holding her head high...
Well, sure enough, everything is good for others. If Hua Mulan has two thousand Tang army cavalry on the opposite side, it is estimated that the performance is not inferior to that Tang general.
The Tang army cavalry on the opposite side showed the lords of the Eastern Han region what the army of the great country called Yangyang was.
Two thousand Tang troops attacked ten thousand Goguryeo cavalry, and the Goguryeo cavalry was defeated!
The Goguryeo camp saw that the situation was not good, and immediately sent a second team of cavalry to rescue the Goguryeo cavalry.
"Tang Jun should be retreating... No, Tang Jun is still attacking!"
During the main battle of the Eastern Han District, they saw an even more shocking scene - after the Tang army cavalry defeated the first team of cavalry, they chased after the victory and drove the defeated Goguryeo cavalry to the second team of Goguryeo cavalry!
The Goguryeo cavalry had never seen such a ferocious army, and they broke up again and were driven back to the Goguryeo camp by two thousand Tang troops.
Goguryeo's bow and crossbow salvo forced the Tang army's cavalry to retreat, but the Tang army's cavalry did not continue to pursue.
After a fierce battle, thousands of Goguryeo cavalrymen were beheaded, and only dozens of cavalrymen died under the Tang army general Ma Lan.
Blood stained the armor of the Tang Dynasty cavalry, flowing down the sharp blade of the Tang Dao.
The camps on both sides were silent.
The small-scale cavalry battle on the east coast did not hurt the two sides, but a test for each other.
The morale of the Goguryeo camp suffered a great blow.
The two teams of Goguryeo cavalry, numbering nearly 20,000, were beaten back by the bravery of 2,000 Tang troops, and they were chased to the edge of the camp. What a shame.
General Tang's Mingguang armor had a few arrows stuck in it, but he returned with his cavalry as if he was okay.
"Is he Xue Rengui?"
"It shouldn't be. According to historical records, Xue Rengui was still a small soldier at this time, and it was impossible for him to be qualified to lead two thousand Tang troops to attack. And he was still two thousand elite cavalry."
Tang will return to the Tang army camp, as if he did an insignificant thing, without much fanfare to celebrate.
It was not the first time that the Tang army fought more with less.
The morale of the Goguryeo camp was low.
On the first day of the national war, a confrontation broke out between the two lords, and one of the lords was disabled by Chutian. On the third day, the Tang army and the Goguryeo cavalry made a small test, and the Tang army won a big victory.
This battle was a nightmare for the Koryo lord.
Although the number of people on the opposite side is small, it is the cavalry of Tian Khan.
Those who came to attack Goguryeo were the veterans of the Tang Empire.
If it was Li Shimin when he was in high spirits, coupled with the lineup of Sui and Tang generals when he was young, it is estimated that Goguryeo would be destroyed in the First World War.
Even the old generals with a few young generals are enough to make the Goguryeo army panic.
After a small-scale confrontation, the two sides were on patrol to prevent the other from attacking at night.
Chutian summoned the lords of the Second Legion.
The battle of Anshi City lasted three months, and it was only three days later. They were not in a hurry, and the time for a decisive battle had not yet come.
The fire in the camp is crackling, and every lord is now full of confidence in the Tang army, and the Tang army's performance is very strong.
"I asked the officers of the Tang army. The one who led the troops to kill the enemy just now was the Tang general Ashina Sher, who was originally the prince of the Eastern Turks. After the fall of the Eastern Turks, he took refuge in the Tang Dynasty and became a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. He fought very bravely. Because Li Shimin was kind to him, when Li Shimin died, he also asked to commit suicide, but he was refused."
Some lords know the identity of Tang General.
"The Turkic princes can only serve as a general under the Tang army account."
"Not only Ashina Sheer, but also generals such as Geshuhan, Gao Xianzhi, Heito Changzhi, and Yuchi Jingde, who fought for the Tang Dynasty. Only Li Shimin can hold them down. As soon as Li Shimin dies, they may have different opinions. It’s hard to say, Geshuhan fought against An Lushan for the sake of Tang Dynasty, and finally died in battle.”
The people present were amazed by Tang Jun's fierce generals like clouds, and the veritable name of Tian Khan.
"I don't know how the battle in Anshicheng and Baijiangkou is going?"
"I believe in Tang Jun and our companions."
Apart from choosing to trust the lords of the Eastern Han District, Chutian and the others had no other choice.
"We are located in the upper reaches of the canyon river. Is it possible to poison the Goguryeo army below the river and die?"
"You've seen too much. With the runoff of this river, how many tons of poison do you need to cast to ensure downstream poisoning?"
"Then block the upstream water with sandbags, and then flood the Goguryeo army."
"It doesn't work. When the other party sees the reduction of the river downstream, they will soon realize that we want to use the water attack."
A group of lords wanted to defeat the enemy, and they came up with various methods such as water attack and poisoning, but in the end they thought it was not feasible.
It's an uphill battle with few advantages. The lord on the opposite side should be careful. To catch the opponent's flaws, the opponent must be exposed.
After dividing the patrol tasks, Chu Tian returned to his camp, and Zhou Yafu, Li Guang, and Hua Mulan took turns in charge of the guards.
On the other side of the river is the Goguryeo army, who may lead their troops to cross the river to attack the Tang army camp.
Therefore, several teams of Tang and Han troops patrolled along the river with torches to prevent the other party from secretly setting up a pontoon bridge and crossing the river to make surprise attacks.
A group of cavalrymen passed by the camp of the Second Army Corps where Chu Tian was.
In his opinion, the army of the lord of the Eastern Han region was still not comparable to the Tang army at its peak.
This Tang army was the elite who fought in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin wanted to use the elite to pacify the future troubles of Goguryeo for future generations in the last years.
Chutian did not know that the Tang army cavalry passed by, but An Ran was sleeping soundly in the tent.
On the opposite side of the Goguryeo camp, the Goryeo lords who were frightened by the two thousand Tang army could not sleep at night.
The 100,000 Tang army and 50,000 Han army went south to confront them, and there were 300,000 Tang army and 200,000 Han army outside the city of Anshi. Their movement is really disturbing.
Li Ji's Tang army went south not only to provoke the Goguryeo army, but also to cut off the vision of the Goguryeo army. Millions of reinforcements piled up in the southern part of the canyon, but they had no idea how the battle in Anshicheng was going.
The Goguryeo army also has a disadvantage - the more people there are, the more food it needs.
"Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen put pressure on us, they must attack the Tang army as soon as possible, otherwise they will be cut short."
Choi Jae-sun glanced at the Goryeo lord present. He planned to fortify the walls and clear the fields, but misjudged the food problem of the Goguryeo army.
The number of the Goguryeo army was as high as 1.5 million, and the logistical pressure was much greater than that of the Tang army. It was destined that the Goguryeo army had to launch an attack.
"Can we... win?"
The lord of Goryeo was a little apprehensive when he saw the majesty of the Tang army during the day.
"It is the elite cavalry of the Tang army who came to provoke the Goguryeo army during the day, not ordinary soldiers, so why should you be afraid."
Choi Jae-sun faced a group of teammates who were sometimes arrogant and sometimes timid, with sharp eyes, forcing them to obey his orders.
"According to the original battle of Anshicheng, Tang Taizong Li Shimin will send Changsun Wuji to lead a branch to attack the rear of the Goguryeo army from the mountain road of Beiling to attack the rear of the Goguryeo army. We can plan and set up an ambush at the exit of the mountain road. I have already planned this plan. Tell the two generals Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen, they have agreed. As long as the Tang army appears, the army of 300,000 ambushing will wipe out their entire army. "
On the Xiongjin River in the Baekje Kingdom, Liu Rengui led the Tang navy and the Tang army cavalry by land and water.
Players from the Eastern Han Dynasty led thousands of small boats to follow Liu Rengui's Datang Navy, and the boats covered the river.
Compared with the long battle in Anshicheng, the combined battle of the navy is easier to solve, and it is often a battle to decide the outcome.
The building captain of the Datang Navy is dozens of meters long, and hundreds of huge building ships are lined up, with great momentum and majesty. There are also small and medium-sized warships such as fighting ships, sea falcons, 艨艟, and walking keels around the building ships.
The lords of Jing, Yang, and Jiaozhou mostly used walking kegs, with only a small number of kekes.
"With the Tang navy as the main force, we can definitely win. With such a navy, I dare to go south and attack the Dayue Kingdom in Annan District."
Zhao Guang, the lord of Jiaozhou, was shocked when he saw the grand occasion of the Tang navy on his warship.
If he was given a navy like this, he might not dare to go south to conquer Dayue.
Tong Que, the leader of the Eastern Han Navy, held a sea map in his hand, which showed the outline of the Xiongjin River and the surrounding sea areas.
Historically, the Tang Jun navy led by Liu Rengui met the Japanese navy who supported Baekje at the mouth of the Xiongjin River, and the Battle of Baijiangkou broke out.
In other words, as long as their navy reaches the position of Jiangkou, it is very likely that they will meet the Japanese navy and a war will break out.
"It's very close to Baijiangkou. I didn't expect to fight with the Japanese Navy so soon. Raise the flag and prepare for the battle!"
The cockroach of the bronze sparrow raises the flag of preparation for war.
The hearts of all the lords were tight, and all the sailors and soldiers with halberds and bows and crossbows were ready for battle.
The Eastern Han District and the Eastern Ying District have had grievances for many years.
The battle of Baijiangkou was won by the Tang army, and the lord of Dongying would definitely try to avoid such an ending.
Tang navy general Liu Rengui was in his sixties at this time, and the ship was a tall building ship with hundreds of elite Tang navy soldiers on board.
"Prepare for battle!"
Liu Rengui has been reminded by the players that they are likely to encounter the Dongying Marine Division at Baijiangkou, so the Datang Marine Division is prepared for the battle.
The Tang navy and the three Eastern Han navy camps are gradually approaching the Baijiangkou, and everyone's breathing is a little short.
As long as you see Dongying's warships, Daofu will row up and rush up, and then the battle will be solved by archers and armored soldiers.
In order to deal with the wooden boats of Dongying, most of the weapons used by the lords of Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Jiaozhou were rockets.
"It was in this battle of Baijiangkou that the Japanese country was defeated by the Tang Dynasty, which made them know the terribleness of the suzerain state. However, the Japanese people were very good at learning, and they immediately dispatched Tang envoys to the Tang Dynasty to learn the techniques and systems of the Tang Dynasty, forming a more powerful The country. In a sense, they are much stronger than Koryo sticks. Just the samurai of Kyushu Island have caused huge damage to Koryo. Koryo can't beat the Japanese country."
Bronze Sparrow mentioned this to the other lords on the ship to ease everyone's nervousness.
The navy was close to the mouth of Baijiang, but the Japanese navy, who was equally dense in the imagination, did not appear.
"How is this going?"
Everyone was stunned. The naval battle that was supposed to take place at Baijiangkou was actually avoided by the players in Dongying District!
Bronze Sparrow immediately opened the chart, thinking about where the disappearing Japanese fleet went.
"The minds of this group of lords of Dongying are indeed better than those of Goryeo. Although Goryeo civilization is similar to our Central Plains civilization in terms of arms and weapons, the lords of Dongying have really learned the essence of our art of war. They do not intend to turn the tide in Baijiangkou because of the difficulty. Too big! Their idea is..."
"Completely abandon the decisive battle at Baijiangkou, they chose another battlefield, and now the initiative to join the battle is in their hands!"
Bronze Sparrow quickly judged the intention of the lord of Dongying.
The lord of Dongying estimated that the battle of Baijiangkou would be lost no matter how he fought, so he simply avoided the edge of the Tang navy and fought on another day and place.
"What should we do next? Are we going to chase the Japanese naval forces along the peninsula's winding coastline?"
"The encounter turned into a pursuit battle, and if you are not careful, you will be ambushed. Most of the lords of Dongying are this kind of strategy."
The lords of the three major navy battalions of the Eastern Han Dynasty gathered on the warship of the Bronze Sparrow, and they talked a lot. The current situation is a little out of control.
"Calm down, calm down!" Tong Que stopped the flustered lords, "We have the Great Tang navy, as long as we don't fall into ambush, we are basically invincible. The next goal is to find the disappearing Japanese navy, and then defeat them. , to win."
The lord of the three navy battalions calmed down a little.
As the leader of the alliance, Bronze Sparrow personally boarded the ship of Liu Rengui, the general of the Tang navy, and discussed the marching route with Liu Rengui.
"The Japanese army is in the south and pursues south, maybe they can catch up."
Liu Rengui listened to the report of the player lord and finally decided to order the pursuit.
If the Japanese navy is still in the waters of the peninsula, it can be completely eliminated.
If the Japanese navy had left the peninsula waters, they would have actually lost.
To the south of Baijiangkou, tens of thousands of Dongying small warships spread all over the sea, sailing along the coastline of the peninsula.
The Japanese generals Abu Hirafu and Abe Hirafu were persuaded by the lords of Dongying to give up fighting the Tang army at Baijiangkou, and instead went south.
"The navy of the Tang Dynasty is really indestructible? We are four times the enemy, why should we retreat?"
Although Atsuhiro Fu gave up the decisive battle with Tang Jun, he thought it was a sign of cowardice who had never fought against Tang.
"Please trust our judgment. The Datang Navy has large ships and giant ships, and once they charge, they can easily crash our small ships. For now, the only way is to lead them to a narrow strait where large ships cannot exert their advantages and the water conditions are complicated. win."
A lord of Kyushu Island with a samurai sword hanging from his waist carefully negotiated with the Japanese general.
"Where is the strait you speak of?"
"Mingliang Strait."
