Chapter 333: Destroying the withering and decaying
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
Only the sound of bows and arrows piercing through the flesh of a person was heard, and then the terrible screams of the Goguryeo people resounded throughout the valley. The main reason is that there are too many people charging, and the dense crowd is like an ant colony, the key is that the formation is dense and people are next to each other, and this round of arrow rain is basically all hit, only to see that the Goguryeo people in the charge are bald like leprosy on their heads.
But this leprosy was instantly covered by the black and oppressive people behind them, who trampled on the corpse of the robe and continued to charge upward!
The Tang army carried out two rounds of bow and arrow throwing in a row, and condescendingly harvested thousands of lives. At the end of the three rounds, the crossbowmen in the Goguryeo formation were also in range, and they stood firm and began to shoot their bows and arrows on their backs.
The guards beside Xue Wanche immediately surrounded him with shields, and Xue Wanche shouted: "Everyone is covered by shields, and the cavalry is armored!" ”
Immediately there were auxiliaries with shields, covering the cavalry in armor. Li Dongsheng's plate armor effect with the help of water power has been verified in the war, better than the chain mail used by the Central Plains Dynasty, although it is a little bulky, but it has very good protection against arrows, sword chopping, and spear stabbing, so the Tang army also carried out a lot of equipment, and this Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo also brought a lot, and now the cavalry is wearing plate armor, and even the war horses around him have been put on vests.
Soon a group of steel behemoths were fully armed, although there were only 800 horsemen, but the momentum was even greater than the 10,000 people under the mountain!
At this time, the position of the Tang army was also raining arrows in the sky, and the crossbowmen of Goguryeo were already desperately shooting arrows to suppress the Tang army and buy time for the charging infantry.
The dense cluster of arrows was not taken seriously by the ironclad cavalry at all, and only a chaotic "clanging" sound was heard, but it did not cause any damage to the men and horses under the armor. They began to turn their horses' heads and slowly walked from the back of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and they could not see the charging enemy, but could only tell from the louder and louder shouts in their ears that the enemy was getting closer. All the cavalry of the Don Army had a feeling of excitement!
Such an invincible cavalry had to face the Goguryeo infantry who were in a hurry to fight, and for them it was the coming of death, and those archers who thought they could inflict damage on themselves probably didn't even want a bow when they saw their appearance.
Xue Wanche looked down the hillside, and the Goguryeo people at the front were already a hundred steps away from the top of the mountain. This is the best distance for the cavalry to charge, the cavalry needs to have enough distance to lift the horse's speed in order to fully display the impact of the cavalry, if it stops, it will be surrounded by infantry and fall into a bitter battle, and it will not be able to exert the mobility of the cavalry.
Xue Wanche said loudly: "All charge!" ”
"Yes!"
All the cavalry responded with a bang, their legs between their horses' bellies, brandished their horizontal swords, and rushed towards the Goguryeo people down the hillside! The sky already has a golden border, and the all-black shape of these iron horses is like a devil rushing out of hell, just a violent torrent of steel!
When the Tang Army's iron cavalry appeared on the top of the mountain, Gao Yanshou happened to come to the front army to investigate on the spot, his eyes were very good, at a glance, the Tang Army was dark, all men and horses were armored, and the cavalry on the horse couldn't even see the eyes, and the whole body was invulnerable!
Just when his face was full of surprise, and he was still struggling with whether to withdraw the charging people, the iron cavalry of the Tang Army had already rushed into the crowd of his army, like a huge iron ball rolling down the hillside, and the huge kinetic energy crushed all the flesh and blood in front of him into the ground.
I saw blood splattered in the Goguryeo formation, and the flesh was shattered! The fully armed invincible iron cavalry faced the panting Goguryeo soldiers who were climbing the mountain, and directly divided into eight waves and rushed and killed in the crowd!
Why cavalry was a strategic arm in ancient times was because of his powerful impact force, in the face of the violent impact force of the speed of the war horse and the weight of the iron armor, the human body was simply like a straw, just a glance, countless Goguryeo people who were in front of the iron cavalry were knocked out, and everyone was broken and spewed blood, knocking down the robe behind him.
The Tang Army's iron cavalry simply ignored the swords, guns, axes and other weapons that fell on their bodies, these things could only make all kinds of noise, and they could not cause any damage to themselves at all. I saw the war horses galloping at the scene, everyone put the horizontal knives flat, and the sharp blades of the horizontal knives swept over the bodies of the Goguryeo people with the help of the speed of the war horses. Only blood burst out, and the corpse was left in a different place. In an instant, the battlefield was full of broken flesh!
Xue Wanche was enthusiastic on the top of the mountain, and he couldn't wait to go into battle in person and kill for a while, but he was stopped by the guards and could only say hatefully: "What a fierce and difficult enemy, in my opinion, it is just a chicken and a dog!" ”
The guards next to him all complained in their hearts, my general, you just say a few words, if it reaches His Majesty's ears, I don't know how to hate you, and beat him to the Goguryeo people who shrank under the city of Anshi, you say that the local chicken tile dog, that is to laugh at Your Majesty, and even the local chicken tile dog is not as good? Besides, we were lucky enough to meet someone's infantry, and what if the cavalry didn't know what the outcome would be.
These Goguryeo people who hurriedly organized and charged faced the Tang army's iron cavalry that had no weaknesses, and it was not an exaggeration to be evaluated by Xue Wanche as a local chicken and tile dog, and the eight hundred iron cavalry rushed down the terrain condescendingly, which was the tank-like rumbling all the way in the later war!
There were many Goguryeo people who plucked up courage to approach the Tang army, and then used all their strength to cut them down with the big knife in their hands, but they did not receive any effect, only heard a loud bang, and then the Tang army chopped them into two with a backhand!
Gao Yanshou was really stunned to see his soldiers being slaughtered by the Tang Army like chickens and dogs, but he was also battle-hardened, so he reacted instantly and shouted loudly: "Use a blunt object, smash it with a blunt object, pour it on it with fire oil and burn it!" ”
It's a pity that he is too far away from the battlefield, and at this time the mountain is no longer a question of who can command, these iron cavalry rushed into the advance formation, like tigers, leopards, jackals and sheep entering the flock, all kinds of raging unstoppable. It was the crushing of equipment, momentum, and so on, and even the most fierce enemy could not stop it.
The Goguryeo infantry was in complete despair! They did not lack courage or warriors, they dared to resist, but he couldn't accept that his resistance would not work at all, and the Tang army just rushed to kill, and his robe spurted blood flew far away, or his head was separated.
In the face of such a group of invulnerable monsters, the morale of the Goguryeo soldiers completely collapsed! I don't know who was the first to run backwards, and then as if it was contagious, everyone started scrambling to turn around and run.
So the whole battlefield fell into chaos, some stunned young people were still rushing forward, some brains were running backwards, coupled with the cavalry impact, it was a mess!
