sweeping the world

Chapter 132 The first confrontation
"Are you afraid?"

"what?"

"The enemy army is densely packed."

"Oh……"

The soldiers on the side of the Han Dynasty also seemed to be densely packed. According to the usual drills, they formed a square army formation, and they were slowly advancing amidst the sound of drums.

Transferred to the Han army in Daifang County, found a place near the mountains and rivers, and spent a long time setting up the camp. Before the fortifications were arranged, the Goguryeo army appeared.

If you know how to visually observe, the Goguryeo army that appeared was about 4000 people. Liu Yan also ordered Li Tan and Li Kuang to take the headquarters out of the camp and launch a tentative attack on the Goguryeo army.

The commander-in-chief of Goguryeo was not slow to react, and made the most correct dispatch, piled up the tribal private soldiers to the front line, and created time for some troops in the rear to form a team.

"Are the two of them relatives?" Liu Yan was standing on the mountainside watching the battle. From his perspective, the 1000 people on his side were in a very traditional formation.He looked at most of the people in the pile, but only a few could be seen as Goguryeo with military formations: "I hope that the blood relationship will allow the two of them to have more tacit understanding."

The drums sound more rhythmic. If you observe carefully, you can see that the soldiers on the Han side are walking in accordance with the beat of the drums.

It wasn't just the people on Liu Yan's side who were watching. The Baekje army huddled halfway up the other side of the mountain, and the Goguryeo who were preparing to fight, all followed the movement of the 1000-strong army of the Han.

"What's the origin?" Jin Yuandao could say responsibly: "There has never been such a decorated military on the peninsula."

The Han army cannot yet be simply called the Han army. Firstly, the Han army is not a state. Secondly, it is not qualified in terms of combat strength, organizational strength, and belief.

The soldiers of the Han Dynasty wore black trousers and a red war robe on their upper body.A small part of the sword and shield soldiers will wear metal armor, and the rest are all leather armor.The spearmen and archers were all without armor, but the spearmen had a small round shield, and the archers would have a sword on their waists.

"I don't know where the enemy army came from." Qi Yuyi Lianli's expression was very serious: "It is definitely not the army of Baekje. From the appearance to the momentum, it can be seen that it cannot be the army on the peninsula."

For a long time, Goguryeo only knew that there were people burning, killing and looting in the southwest. At first, I thought it was Baekje taking advantage of the battle between Qianyan and Goguryeo to fish in troubled waters. It was only after listening to the description of the scouts that I realized that it was not the case.

If Goguryeo hadn’t known that there was no navy in Qianyan, Goguryeo would have suspected that the army that appeared was Yan’s army. Jin Yuandao and Qi Yuyi went to the scene to see, not only did not solve the confusion, but became more confused.

Goguryeo is not a country nestled in the corner of the peninsula like Baekje or Silla. They used force to restore the country from the Jin Dynasty (originally it was destroyed by the strong Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty Emperor Yuan restored the country once, and the Western Jin Dynasty was the second time). More or less, I have seen the world.They know how big the world is and which countries are powerful.

Jin Yuandao and Qi Huyi Lianli came with some of the elite horses, and the main force was still on their way twenty miles away.The two of them just wanted to see with their own eyes who was ravaging the southwest. After seeing it with their own eyes, they still couldn't see the way out, but they were already frightened when they saw the enemy troops advancing in formation.

Army formation, but it takes a long time of training to list it, and it is delusional to ask the mob to form an army formation.In the whole of Goguryeo, there are no more than [-] troops who can play with the army, most of them are on the northern front. In the south, [-] are left to defend against Baekje and Silla. Without comprehensive suppression, one can imagine the difference between elite soldiers and mobs.

The rhythm of the drums was getting faster. Jin Yuandao stared wide-eyed at the battle that was about to come into contact with him, only to hear a loud roar erupting there, which seemed to be "for the tribe"?
In other words, Jin Yuandao really didn't know which country or force would have such a slogan before the war, but he understood the slogan and understood that the enemy troops that appeared came from the Central Plains.

Jin Yuandao saw that the enemy's formation was disordered after he quickened his pace, and he was about to say something like "it's a good-looking product" or "it's just a show", but he saw it scattered into a row of scattered straight lines.

"Everything is going according to the steps during the drill." Li Hong said with some assurance: "The enemy army is a mob. Without the flags of our army, even if their generals want to make adjustments, they will not have enough time."

Most of the troops of the Han Dynasty are trained by people from Ran Min's side. After nearly three months of cleaning operations in Changguang County, most of them have experience in battle.

"Unfortunately, there is no banner." Wei Junchi also seemed to be full of confidence in the thousand soldiers who went to battle: "If there is a banner, it will look more majestic."

That is!However, it was impossible for Liu Yan to carry Hou Zhao's military flag, and it was too early to show his own flag, so he could only endure and be the owner of a "naked" army.

The ones scattered in a straight line are the sword and shield soldiers. They are not so scattered, but they are only three meters away from each other. If there is an order, they can quickly regroup according to the "shi" formation.

The bang sounded, and it was the Goguryeo side that started ringing first. A shadow composed of arrows "rose" from the ground, and the target of the shooting was the Han sword and shield soldiers who had formed a skirmish line to keep advancing.

Facing the arrows shot from Goguryeo, the sword and shield soldiers of the Han Dynasty squatted on the ground more directly, holding the one-and-a-half-meter-long tower shield in their hands in a half-tilted posture, and a burst of arrows fell to the ground in a short while. The sound, when it hits the soil on the ground, it is a muffled sound, when it hits a tower shield, it makes a weird crisp sound, and when it hits a stone or something, it is another bumping sound.

"Aren't they all metal arrowheads?" Ah San blocked her body with a tower shield, and scanned her surroundings: "Bone arrows, pure wooden arrows, bamboo arrows..."

Many people have discovered that the troops on Goguryeo's side were obviously gathered together, that is, the arrows and arrows shot can reveal their essence. After all, Goguryeo is a tribal city system, and even the regular army of the country does not have a uniform uniform. Clothes are really hard to identify.

"This will be a crushing victory." Li Hong said "tsk tsk" a few times, and said contemptuously: "It's the eighth round, and they shot so many arrows at the sword and shield soldiers who were prepared and did not suffer any casualties. arrow."

As soon as the words fell, Goguryeo stopped shooting arrows, and waves of roars broke out, and then only the necessary reserve team was left, and more than two thousand Goguryeo soldiers launched an attack in a swarm.

Wei Junchi smiled and said, "It's our turn."

The sound of bangs sounded, this time from the side of the Han troops, and then the archers who were lined up began to disperse, with each person about one and a half meters apart, and then they shot arrows in waves amidst the sound of the password. arrow.

While the archers started shooting arrows, the spearmen continued to move forward. They walked through the gap left by the archers, waited until they passed through the archers' area, and then regrouped into a dense spear formation, and then It is continuous advancement.

"This archery method is very useful!" Li Hong spoke highly of it: "We have written back to Hou Chenghou, and we will use this method in the future."

The mode of archery was not created by Liu Yan, but learned from the former Qin State Arrow Array. The Qin Army Arrow Array talked about continuous wave-like covering shooting.It seems that Qin Jun learned from his opponent who has a strong reputation in Korea?In the hundred years after the appearance of firearms, the wave-band continuous shooting will be carried forward again...

After the Goguryeo soldiers who charged harder and died faster, the direction of the battle has become very clear, especially the Han soldiers who fought in the battle broke out again with a desolate horn, "For the tribe!" After launching a charge, the Goguryeo soldiers on the opposite side were in chaos, which was a partial retreat.

"We need elites!" Jin Yuandao adjusted the direction of his horse: "Mobilize at least [-] elites!"

"But..." As soon as Qiyi Yilian Li uttered two words, Jin Yuandao started to drive his horse: "Don't Baekje and Silla need defense?"

Jin Yuandao didn't turn his head back: "This army suddenly appeared on the peninsula. Now it will wreak havoc on our territory, and it will wreak havoc in Baekje and Silla in the future. It's time to test our diplomatic strength!"

Liu Yan, who was watching a crushing battle halfway up the mountain, looked at the Baekje Army in the distance, which erupted in a mess, but he couldn't see the hesitation on Gongsun Bao's face...
