Datang: Touching the Corpse Li Yuanba at the Beginning

"Your Majesty, Luo Cheng is willing to lead an army and open the way!"

It has been three days of rest, and the sergeant has almost rested. It is time for the army to start.

"Okay, Duke Yue, I'm relying on you in this battle, and you're the winner!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Luo Cheng will live up to His Majesty's wishes."

To tell the truth, Luo Cheng also often dealt with Goguryeo, and Yang Guang's three conquests of Goguryeo were all at their house, and they also built two large warehouses in Fanyang and Yuyang.

On the fourth day, when Luo Cheng led his troops out of the camp, a burst of birdsong suddenly rang out from a tree not far from the camp. A person suddenly jumped out of the ordinary ground, shook the leaves used for camouflage on his body, and passed a letter in his hand through the carrier pigeon.

If Li Wenhao was here, he would definitely hear that there is a problem here, because at the end of autumn, there are really no other birds in the Northeast except sparrows.

Chapter 361 Field killer, cavalry nemesis

"The enemy has taken the bait!"

In the distance, there is also a mountain forest, and in the depths, there are small tents set up one by one.

And the one who said these words was Yuan Gai Suwen who was holding the message that had just been sent back in his hand.

"Li Shimin, Yang Guang personally conquered my father and didn't keep him, so I'll keep you here."

Yuan Gai Suwen's triangular eyes were like poisonous snakes, staring at the north.

He is a man with dreams and ambitions. If he was born in the Central Plains, he would be Du Fuwei, Dou Jiande and the like at worst. Unfortunately, the platform determines success.

He was born in Goguryeo, which was born barren and peaceful.

Here, even if he has great talent, there is no place to display it.

He envied Li Tang, who was able to win the great treasure in the battle for hegemony among the great powers, and looked down on Li Shimin, the emperor who rose to power by killing his brothers. Similarly, he also envied Li Wenhao, who was given such a big back cover before he was weak.

It is as big as his entire Goguryeo and the entire Korean peninsula, and now Li Shimin has handed over the newly laid grassland to him.

Just one word, sour!

He thinks that he is no worse than anyone else in a different position, but why, God let him be reborn in Goguryeo?

It's enough if he just wants to be a dandy, but what he thinks about is the world, the court of the Central Plains.

"Tell Park Banchen that it's time to act. Isn't their pioneer Li Wenhao's mentor?"

"Let's sacrifice Master Li Wenhao's head to the flag first!"

"Tell the army, get ready to set off, and try to reach the battlefield at night. I want to prepare a big gift for Li Shimin!"

……

At this time, Yuan Gai Suwen's fangs were ready to show, and Li Wenhao who was far away in Hebei was not ready to wait.

"Decree, let Chen Qingzhi lead his white-robed army to support my father"

"Your Highness, there are only 7000 white-robed troops under Chen Qingzhi..."

"Enough, he knows what to do, he just needs to guard the way back for my father!"

Long-distance raids, interspersed on the battlefield, and starting a group around the back, this is Li Wenhao's favorite routine. Now the map alone shows that Li Shimin's position is in line with all these conditions, and there is one more thing, fire attack.

As long as Chen Qingzhi's 7000 people guard Li Shimin's back, although it won't help much in winning, if Li Shimin loses, this is the 7000 people who will save their lives.

Under Jin Yiwei's fast horse whipping, Chen Qingzhi received Li Wenhao's order in just one day and night, and the corner of his mouth grinned, "Your Highness finally remembered me, Mr. Chen!"

"It's a pity that His Highness didn't let us attack the city and loot the land, but went to work as a babysitter for His Majesty."

"Command brothers, bury the pot and cook, and set off at Mao's hour!"

Looking back to the Goguryeo Peninsula, Luo Cheng, the vanguard, led the fierce soldiers under his command and ran all the way for two hours. He didn't see a single enemy army for a full twenty miles, and he was very puzzled.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how slow Goguryeo reacted, they should have set up defenses on their way, and on the way, Luo Cheng saw more than one good place to set up an ambush, but Goguryeo did not set up an ambush.

"No, it's weird!"

"All of you follow me and set up camp after advancing thirty miles."

Although Luo Cheng wasn't as ambitious as Li Ji, Luo Cheng had won the Luo family's true biography in his use of troops. When he didn't know the enemy's situation, he fought steadily and steadily, and there was nothing wrong with taking one step at a time.

"General, there is something weird!"

"Ok?"

Luo Cheng looked suspiciously at the guard beside him, who was also the second generation of Yanyun's eighteenth cavalry.

"Although it is already autumn and the birds are flying south, there are still birds in the forest that stay in the north for the winter, but now, look!"

The guard took out a loud arrow and shot it directly into the forest, but apart from the sound of the arrow, there was not even a single bird song coming out of the woods.

"Your Highness, it shouldn't be, unless someone has come and scared these birds away."

"Order, the rear team will change to the front team, retreat steadily, let's leave this area and set up camp!"

Luo Cheng held his gun and watched the jungle vigilantly, but he couldn't see anything except the yellow color that should be in autumn.

Just when Luo Cheng was preparing the army to retreat slowly, suddenly a sharp arrow shot out from the jungle, directly aiming at Luo Cheng's heart.

"General be careful!"

The guards beside Luo Cheng were about to push Luo Cheng away, but saw a scimitar flashing in front of him, a scimitar came out of its sheath, and the flying arrow was split in half by the scimitar.

"Soldiers, don't panic, retreat steadily, the shield soldiers stand on both sides of the army."

"Here!"

After all, Luo Cheng is a general of hundreds of battles, and his subordinates are all veterans who have been on the battlefield and crawled out of the dead. Faced with this kind of ambush, he immediately launched a countermeasure.

Whoosh whoosh!

The rain of arrows in the forest kept falling. Although Luo Cheng's subordinates were well-trained, they would inevitably be hurt in the face of this dense rain of arrows. Expanding, and finally forming a gap in the army.

"Let's go, general!"

"Brothers, if you don't go, I won't go either!"

Luo Cheng broke away from the soldiers and yelled towards the forest, "I am Luo Cheng, the Duke of Tang Yue, a child of Goguryeo, who dares to fight me?"

Luo Cheng's voice echoed in the forest, but no one answered him, and it was still raining arrows all over the sky, as if he didn't want money.

"retreat!"

Looking at the fallen soldiers, Luo Cheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, and ordered the soldiers to retreat by themselves. It wasn't that he didn't want to lead people to kill them in the woods, it was absolutely impossible!

He is the vanguard, and half of the soldiers he leads are cavalry. If you know that cavalry are in the woods, they are no different from lame people. Up to now, no cavalry has been seen that can walk on the ground in the woods. .

As for the rest of the troops, if they want to rush over, they can only withstand the rain of arrows, and they don't know what kind of feast the enemy has prepared for them in the woods.

Following Luo Cheng's order, his army finally started to run on two legs, that kind of running regardless.

After all, it is one thing not to be afraid of death, but no one wants to die.

And Luo Cheng also ran to the front of the team under the escort of his own soldiers.

After running for two miles, the enemy's arrow rain stopped, but in front of Luo Cheng, there was another problem.

"Luo Cheng, I've been waiting for you here for a long time!"

"I think using the Duke of Tang Yue, Li Wenhao's master to sacrifice the flag, should be able to greatly improve the morale of our army."

Luo Cheng pursed his lips, and looked at the Goguryeo general in front with serious eyes. The fact that the opposite side could come around behind him proved that the enemy was well prepared. No doubt, even Li Shimin's every move was under his surveillance. It's just that they didn't find it. Thinking of this, let's think about Lu Xun...

"Everyone, follow me, life and death are in one fell swoop!"

"rush!"

Luo Cheng's personal guards firmly protected Luo Cheng's sides, and the less than two thousand cavalry that had just gathered rushed directly towards the enemy ahead.

"Give them some color!"

The Goguryeo general grinned. After waving the command flag, the Goguryeo soldiers in the front row pushed away to both sides, revealing the ballista hidden behind them. There were ten ballistas. On the plain, this ballista was invincible. The crossbow bolts are like spears, and once fired, they can often fire several arrows, ten, or dozens of arrows...

"spread!"

Luo Cheng frantically pulled the reins of the horse, and the cavalry behind him almost did the same thing. It is not a problem for a single crossbow bolt to penetrate several people. To put it bluntly, these ten crossbow carts fired in one round. I'm afraid there won't be much left.

"Let me go!"

Chapter 362 Who Can Take It?

"spread!"

"spread!"

Luo Cheng pulled the horse, and he lay on the ground with his horse and man. Seeing the crossbow arrows whizzing past his head, Luo Cheng roared.

However, ordinary cavalry, how could he have such elite riding skills?

In other words, where did they go to find a horse as good as Luo Cheng?

Puff puff puff!

The soldiers behind Luo Cheng were pierced by the huge crossbow almost without even reacting, moreover, it was a line once it was pierced.

"brother!"

The corners of Luo Cheng's eyes had cracked. If he hadn't been suppressed by the ballista now, he might have rushed to the enemy's formation without hesitation and started killing.

At the same time, I also hated Yang Guang in my heart. If he hadn't failed in the three campaigns against Goguryeo and left Goguryeo with a large amount of war supplies, how could Goguryeo, a group of savages who just knew how to write characters, make a crossbow cart? Big killer?

After a round of crossbow arrows, there were less than 200 people behind Luo Cheng who could stand up, and the rest of them were all pierced by the huge crossbow arrows shot by the ballista, and stayed in Goguryeo forever.

Perhaps the only good news is that it takes time to reload the ballista, so apart from large-scale ballista suppression, few ballistas can release a second round of attacks on the battlefield.

Obviously, the guards on the Goguryeo side also knew the reason, and they didn't ask people to load it. Instead, a group of infantrymen with shields and spearmen behind them slowly surrounded them. crossbowman.

The operation principle of the crossbow bolt and the ballista car is similar, similarly, on the battlefield, it is difficult to reload the second time, but in this kind of encirclement battle, the crossbow bolt is invincible.

Crossbow arrows are more powerful than bow arrows.

The armor on Luo Cheng's body may be pierced by an arrow. In addition to the concealment and suddenness of crossbow shooting, crossbow arrows are also the most annoying thing for cavalry on the battlefield.

To put it simply, crossbow arrows are invincible at medium distances, and cavalry are invincible at close range. Although they restrain each other, they are not absolutely invincible.

When Luo Cheng saw the crossbow bolt hidden behind the shield soldier, his expression changed instantly. Finally, he gritted his teeth, grabbed a dead brother with one hand and stood in front of him on the ground.

"Brother, I'm sorry!"
