Chapter 141 Li Guang and Di Qing in Trouble
"The Tang army cavalry is here again!"
On the fifth day of the Anshicheng battlefield, the Turkic prince Ashina Sher led the Tang army cavalry to call on the opposite Goguryeo army for three consecutive days.
In addition to the first day of the battle, killing thousands of Goguryeo cavalry, Goguryeo did not dare to fight, and simply could not hold on.
"Goguryeo is already timid. If Qin Qiong is still alive, Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde are young and strong, their performance is estimated to be even better than the Turkic prince Ashina Sher."
Chu Tian saw that Ashina Sheer relied on the Tang cavalry and was majestic and mighty, and he couldn't help but want to go forward and call out.
He also has two military generals in his hands, and his performance is not necessarily worse than that of the Turkic prince.
"Li Guang, you take a dozen cavalry soldiers who are good at riding and archery across the river to provoke them."
Chutian dispatched Li Guang, the most powerful warrior, to provoke Goguryeo following the example of the Tang army.
"The last general takes orders!"
Li Guang selected thirteen cavalry soldiers who were good at archery, and took them across the river from the pontoon bridge upstream to challenge.
"Di Qing, you go too."
When Prince Yan saw that Chu Tian had dispatched Li Guang, he was unwilling to be reconciled, so he dispatched Di Qing, a famous general of the Song Dynasty.
Di Qing led a dozen Youzhou cavalry and followed behind Li Guang.
The lords such as Chu Tian and Prince Yan were watching the battle across the river.
The two generals under their command had the confidence to let them play.
Li Guang rode a Turkic warhorse exchanged from the Tang army quartermaster, with a long bow in his hand, showing off his might in front of the Goguryeo army.
Di Qing put on a bronze mask, hair was disheveled, and he held a large knife in his hand.
This time, instead of the Tang army provoking, it was replaced by the generals of the lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"Goryeo, come out to fight!"
Li Guang, at Chu Tian's behest, used words that could anger the lord of Goryeo to insult him.
There are different civilizations in "Lord", and there are hundreds of languages, so there is an auxiliary system. Although the other party can't speak Chinese, they can understand it.
The lord of Goryeo was immediately annoyed when he heard Li Guang insulting them as sticks.
Even if the Turkic prince brought two thousand Tang troops to call for the battle, the two young generals of the other lord brought only twenty cavalry soldiers to insult him.
"Dare to scold us and kill them!"
Finally, the lord of Goryeo couldn't hold back, and sent hundreds of cavalry to attack Li Guang and Di Qing.
This time the ratio of the two sides is 20 to 1, how can it be impossible to lose?
A Koryo cavalry general wielded a big sword and said, "I am Song Rulong, the Koryo admiral!"
"Admiral Song Rulong stepped forward, and the opponent would definitely be defeated. Their lord dared to underestimate our Goryeo, which is unbearable or unbearable."
The lord of Goryeo clenched his fists, and the lord of the Eastern Han region on the opposite side despised them so much that he simply ignored them.
Goryeo is also a thousand-year-old civilization, and has experienced several complete kingdoms.
Goryeo Admiral Song Rulong clamped the horse's belly. There were four hundred Goryeo cavalrymen beside him and behind him. The opponent should turn around and flee when facing the black cloud-like Goryeo cavalry.
However, what shocked Song Rulong was that,
Li Guang and Di Qing not only did not leave, but almost simultaneously bent their bows and shot arrows at the cavalry generals on the opposite side!
Two sharp arrows, one after the other, hit Song Rulong.
Di Qing's arrow pierced Song Rulong's shoulder, the impact made his shoulder shake, and Li Guang's arrow had already shot through Song Rulong's throat!
Song Rulong fell from his horse, and the four hundred Goryeo cavalry were startled.
Li Guang continued to bend his bow and shot sharp arrows in a row, and two more cavalrymen were shot dead.
Seeing that his archery skills were not as good as Li Guang's, Di Qing simply picked up a curved sword. This kind of long-handled large blade was sharp in front and wide at the back, somewhat similar to a crescent sword.
"kill!"
Di Qing led a dozen Youzhou cavalry to attack, not retreating but advancing!
The Youzhou cavalry plunged into the Goryeo cavalry, Di Qing was disheveled, and the bronze mask was extremely ferocious, like an evil ghost from hell, slashing the oncoming Goryeo cavalry to death!
The morale of the Koryo cavalry was severely hit and fell into chaos, while Li Guang was still shooting the Koryo cavalry on the opposite side without rushing.
"Once Di Qing charges, the morale of the opponent will drop."
Di Qing's lord, Prince Yan, saw that his subordinates were heroic, and he knew Di Qing's abilities very well.
"Just in cooperation with Li Guang."
Chu Tian thought that Li Guang could reduce the morale of the alien race and increase the damage to the alien race. Fighting side by side with Di Qing, the morale of the opposite party was greatly affected.
In ancient battles, brave generals and soldiers can indeed make the enemy fearless.
In the face of these elites, the opponent's military heart has been shaken.
Sometimes, all it takes is a prestige.
"It's still Li Guang's good archery."
Prince Yan and other lords were shocked when they found that Li Guang shot more than a dozen arrows in a row, with a hit rate of over 70%.
Li Guang led a dozen light cavalry soldiers while roaming and shooting, while Di Qing charged back and forth in the enemy line, slashing more than ten cavalry soldiers in a row, unstoppable!
Two Goryeo cavalrymen armed with spears stabbed Di Qing, who was killing all directions at the same time.
Di Qing avoided the two spears, clamped the spear in his right arm, and cut down a Goryeo cavalry man and horse with a big sword!
The troops were in chaos, and the four hundred Goryeo cavalry had a tendency to disperse.
Di Qing rushed left and right in the chaotic army, and a long spear stabbed the armor on his back, blood seeping out.
Another sharp arrow hit Di Qing, was blocked by the armor, and hung on Di Qing's body. Di Qing was still full of arrogance, and cut off the head of a war horse with one knife!
It's brutal...
Chutian saw Di Qing's ferocious performance. This guy saw people cut people, saw horses cut horses, and he was a hero, but he didn't have many opportunities to perform in history.
Chu Tian was shocked by Di Qing's performance, while the other lords were surprised by Li Guang's archery skills.
Li Guang had already shot and killed more than 20 Koryo cavalry.
Li Guang was not injured at all, and with a bow and arrow, he was almost at the level of a hundred people.
The four hundred Koryo cavalry chiefs were shot and killed, plus Li Guang and Di Qing's prestige to kill each other, morale completely collapsed.
"Ulchi Wende, lead the cavalry to support."
The Goryeo lord Choi Jae-seon sent Ulji Mun-deok, a Goguryeo general who had defeated the Sui army.
A young general was ordered to attack, and a thousand Goryeo cavalrymen rushed out of the Goguryeo army.
"The momentum of this Goryeo cavalry seems to be somewhat different."
On the other side of the river, Chutian, Prince Yan, Gongziwen, Xueyue and others noticed that the temperament of the Koryo cavalry had completely changed.
The military's momentum is invisible, but it can give people a sense of oppression. With the sense of oppression, you can roughly judge whether the opponent is a mob or an elite teacher.
The Goryeo cavalry led by historical military generals is very different in both momentum and military discipline.
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops."
Chu Tian didn't dare to take Li Guang's risk this time, so he called Jin Jin across the river to withdraw his troops.
It's not a problem for Li Guang to bully a small group of cavalry, but if he is pursued by thousands of cavalry, and the other party has a historical military general, then Li Guang may be captured.
When Li Guang heard Ming Jin's order to withdraw his troops, he saw that Di Qing was still trapped in the enemy's line.
Although Li Guang often played with the longbow, as a flying general in the Han Dynasty, the Huanshou Sword in the Han Dynasty was superb.
The Goryeo cavalry evaded one after another, and Li Guang and Di Qing joined together, and the two broke out, leading the cavalry to retreat.
"The other party is a historical military general in the Eastern Han District. If you kill them, they will definitely hurt their vitality!"
The lords of Goryeo didn't care about fairness at this time. The performance of Li Guang and Di Qing made them realize that this was a good opportunity to kill the heroes of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"kill!"
Thousands of Koryo cavalrymen rushed out, Li Guang and Di Qing seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest and were chased and killed by the Koryo cavalry.
Eulji Wende's cavalry took the lead in rushing in front, and under the command of Eulji Wende, they detoured from left to right, trying to outflank Li Guang and Di Qing.
"Let's go to support!"
Chutian found that he was playing too big, and the patience of the lord of Koryo was limited. He was repeatedly provoked and had the opportunity to kill the heroes of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
If Li Guang and Di Qing wanted to escape, they had to reach the floating bridge upstream.
"What happened?"
Li Ji, the commander-in-chief of the 100,000 Tang army, was inspecting the camp, but found that there was a lot of noise on the opposite side.
"General, a lord is going to provoke the Goguryeo army, and there are at least tens of thousands of cavalry in Goguryeo."
"Oh? The Goguryeo army stood firm yesterday and did not expect to be successfully provoked by the lord who helped out."
"The lord only sent dozens of cavalry to cross the river, and he was being chased and killed by the opponent at this time."
"Let Zhang Shigui send a team of cavalry to support."
"Yes!"
Chutian did not expect that he would follow the example of the Turkic prince Ashina Sheer to provoke the Goguryeo army, and it would cause such a big disturbance.
Tens of thousands of Goryeo cavalrymen rushed out in a mighty manner that stretched for miles.
This was an unexpected event that no one thought of. There were only 3,000 Tang troops guarding the pontoon on the other side of the river.
The Tang army began to reinforce the position of the upstream pontoon.
Chu Tian took a group of cavalry to the pontoon location urgently to meet Li Guang and Di Qing.
The Tang army's left-leading general, Guo Guogong Zhang Shigui, was on the other side of the river at this time, leading three thousand Tang troops to camp. When he saw Li Guang and Di Qing drawing out tens of thousands of Goryeo cavalry, he felt inexplicably wanting to curse.
The Tang army's ability to fight in the field is very strong, which does not mean that it can always deal with the impact of tens of thousands of Koryo cavalry.
"Combine!"
Zhang Shigui commanded the Tang army to form a Cheyue formation with their backs against the river. The sharp infantry lances pointed to the outside, and the Tang army's bowmen were at the rear.
There is also a Tang army cavalry covering the flanks.
"The front is Tang Jun's phalanx, what should we do?"
"Kill the past and destroy the Tang Jun pontoon!"
Eulji Mun-deok judged the situation and saw that the boat was done. The Goryeo army's morale soared because of the provocation.
The Tang army fired thousands of crossbows, and the Goryeo cavalry fell to hundreds of people, but more and more Goryeo cavalry emerged from the rear, as if the black cloud was about to swallow the three thousand Tang army.
Zhang Shigui was caught in a hard fight, and the Goryeo cavalry was armed with arrows, and the arrows fell on the shield of the Tang army! Occasionally, advantageous arrows shot into the Tang army's large formation from the gap of the shield formation!
A Tang army infantry fell with an arrow, and the soldiers in the back row immediately made up for it.
Facing the cavalry, if there is a flaw in the phalanx, it will soon be broken through.
Tang Jun's bow and crossbow were more ferocious than the opponent's cavalry and shot and killed the cavalry on the opposite side.
The Goryeo cavalry, led by Ulchi Wende, did not use the light cavalry to attack the Tang army's tight phalanx, but avoided the Tang army's formation and used the arrow rain formed by cavalry to attack the Tang army.
Although the Goryeo cavalry suffered heavy losses, it was worth sacrificing three or four Goryeo cavalry for a Tang army.
"Call heavy cavalry!"
Goguryeo general Gao Yanshou was alerted and came to participate in the war in person.
He is also a historical hero with a name and a surname in Goguryeo, but he met Li Shimin, a khan of the sky.
The elite cavalry of the Goguryeo army was thrown into the battlefield, intending to decide the outcome in one battle.
Five thousand heavy cavalry followed, planning a heavy cavalry assault on the Tang soldiers defending the pontoon bridge.
This heavy cavalry is wearing heavy armor, which is somewhat similar to the armor of the Central Plains cavalry, but there are subtle differences.
The appearance of the Goguryeo heavy cavalry made Zhang Shigui's face even worse.
The three thousand Tang army could not hold back the five thousand heavy cavalry and tens of thousands of light cavalry.
If it had to be said, Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army, Li Siye's Modao Team and some other special arms of the Tang Dynasty could do it...but not Zhang Shigui.
"It's really unsatisfactory to let me use heavy cavalry with only three thousand Great Tang horse steps."
Under the protection of a group of elite soldiers, Goguryeo general Gao Yanshou went to the front line to direct the siege of the three thousand Tang army.
There are at least dozens of generals and hundreds of personal soldiers around him, so he is not afraid of Tang Jun.
The Tang army's fierce general Qin Qiong has died of illness, the military god Li Jing is critically ill, Cheng Zhijie stays behind in Chang'an, Yuchi Jingde is over sixty years old, with gray hair, the only ones who can charge into the battle are a group of young teenagers.
The appearance of five thousand Goguryeo heavy cavalry on the battlefield means that the decisive battle of Goguryeo against the Tang army across the river has begun.
Some of the Goguryeo cavalry dismounted and used long bows to shoot the Tang army, with arrows from both sides shooting at each other.
As long as some people in the Tang army are slack or timid, and some people turn to escape and break the formation, then the heavy cavalry can completely defeat this Tang army.
However, to the surprise of the Goguryeo army, despite the small number of the Tang army, they still maintained the Cheyue formation composed of spears, crossbows, and carriages, and no one fled back to the other side of the river without authorization.
The main force of the Tang army on the other side of the river is stepping over the pontoon to support Zhang Shigui.
The thousand cavalry under Zhang Shigui were ready to fight back against the large number of Goguryeo cavalry.
"You join my cavalry!"
The aged Zhang Shigui recruited Li Guang and Di Qing.
His age did not allow him to charge himself, but Li Guang and Di Qing could act as the vanguard of the Tang cavalry.
Li Guang and Di Qing stabbed the hornet's nest and fled back to the Tang army's phalanx. When Zhang Shigui had a move, he immediately joined the Tang army's cavalry.
Among the cavalry of the Tang army, a Tang soldier in white holds a Fang Tianhua halberd and has a double bow on his waist.
When he saw Li Guang and Di Qing, who were sturdy, he was eager to try.
Just now, it was Li Guang and Di Qing who angered the Goguryeo army. These two men were so powerful that even General Zhang Shigui decided to temporarily use them as vanguards.
The main force of the Tang army on the other side of the river was reinforced by the pontoon bridge, and the opportunity for the decisive victory of the Goguryeo army disappeared, and it gradually became uneasy.
"retreat."
Gao Yanshou saw that nothing could be done, so he ordered the Goguryeo army to evacuate here.
At this time, a small number of Tang army cavalry took the initiative to counterattack under the leadership of Li Guang and Di Qing!
