Chapter 1134: Surprises Repeated

Although the battle began with a loss of more than 500 men, every soldier on the Goguryeo side, from Yi Guangsheng to the following, believed that with their large numbers and three or four times the cavalry, as long as they charged in front of the enemy and engaged in close combat, it was time for the Sui army to be defeated.

Therefore, although the Goguryeo reinforcements suffered heavy casualties in a short period of time, the drums in the back were endless, and the soldiers in the back row seemed to turn a blind eye to the instantaneous casualties of the soldiers in front, and they all ran two steps to replenish the upper position. Then they fell on the next round of the Sui army, or crossbow arrows, or crossbows. Guns, or boulders, and gunpowder packets, but the soldiers in the back of them rushed up to fill their positions at the urging of officers and orders...... I have to say that the Goguryeo army has been fighting endlessly for many years, and as long as it is a regular army, its combat power is quite good.

However, Lee Kwang-sheng and other Goguryeo people did not know that the battle formation training, command mode, weaponry, and operational concepts of the army they encountered today had already surpassed this era by too much. This is an army specially trained by Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu by combining the military training and combat modes of the East and the West for more than 1,000 years, and seizing the characteristics of the army of this era.

The Goguryeo soldiers in the first row were dead in a blink of an eye, and nearly half of the Goguryeo cavalry in the second row were also dead, but they also forced to the front of the rejection, creating an opportunity for the soldiers in the second and third rows to finally rush to the front, but the three hundred horse-repelling guns on the three-hundred-step rejecting carriage stabbed together, although the stabbing speed was not fast because of the friction, but more than 300 Goguryeo soldiers in the first row were stabbed at once, and the rejecting spears easily tore through all the defenses on their bodies, and they were wrenched into the internal organs of the torso with their clothes.

These seriously wounded and dying Goguryeo soldiers gritted their teeth, yelled, or scolded and threw their weapons at the Sui soldiers who were directly opposite them behind the rejected horses. Immediately afterward, they clung to the barrel of the gun stuck in their body before they died or during their serious injuries. As a result, most of these repulsors were assassinated only once. It can be said that the Goguryeo reinforcements showed great bravery.

However, the repulsion pistols held together by iron chains were simply a nemesis for the Goguryeo cavalry, and with these they could not charge. can only wait for the infantry on their own side to make their way with their lives.

Wang Junlin stood on the command platform on the top of the low mountain and watched the fierce battle on the front from the beginning, and sighed in his heart that these Goguryeo reinforcements were all elite soldiers of a hundred battles, and most of them were from Pyongyang.

The infantry on the Goguryeo side, located in the middle of the canyon, pounced in groups in a daze, and carried out frantic stabbing through a layer of repulsive horses.

Wang Junlin's face was solemn, although their casualties were much less than the Goguryeo reinforcements, they were still somewhat beyond his previous expectations.

The Goguryeo reinforcements were even stronger than he had imagined. The Goguryeo reinforcements who rushed to the front of the horse were desperately squeezing forward, poking or slashing their spears and knives in their hands, and many of them did not see their opponents at all, because their vision was crowded by their own companions, but as long as they could find a gap, they would follow the instinctive experience of years of battlefield fighting and shoot their weapons indiscriminately.

However, the spears that wielded the most weapons from above the repulsor were the spears of Wang Junlin's side, which drew dense silver trajectories in the air, piercing the Goguryeo soldiers on the opposite side to cry and cry out for their fathers and mothers, and these Goguryeo soldiers were stabbed back again and again by the guns that stabbed at the opposite side.

The battle line resounded one after another screams, the dull thud of spears into the flesh, and the brave shouts of Goguryeo soldiers in waves.

After a dozen breaths, Goguryeo's infantry once again paid the price of more than 1,000 people, and finally broke through the rejection and cleared the road. At this time, with the previous long-range attack, nearly 2,000 people had been killed and wounded, while the Sui army had only more than 200 casualties. The casualty ratio is close to that of the attacking and defending cities.

At such a great cost to break through Wang Junlin's anti-horse battle line, Li Guangsheng's face was already extremely ugly, he never thought that he would use cavalry and infantry to attack the opponent's infantry, and he would defeat this battle so much, and he had never even heard of this tactic of the Sui army.

If they continue to lose in such a proportionate way of friend to foe, they will surely be defeated today.

"Okay now, the long-range attack is over, and the damn rejection horses have been broken, and then we will meet in close quarters, and it will be up to you to see how your 10,000-strong infantry can resist the charge of my 10,000 cavalry plus more than 8,000 infantry." Li Guangsheng gritted his teeth and said.

Li Guangsheng straightened his legs, his body rose from the saddle, and he had already stepped on the stirrup to stand up, and the horsewhip in his hand pointed at the Wang Junlin army opposite: "Order, continuous assault." The enemy cannot be given time to breathe. Ben was going to defeat them in a stick of incense. ”

However, the battle has only just begun, and the 'surprise' and shock for Lee Kwang Sheng have only just begun.

At the moment when the rejection horse was broken, the drum beat of the Wang Junlin phalanx suddenly changed into a slow drum beat with intervals. A neat company of nearly 11,000 infantry retreated seven paces, widening the distance between them and the repulsed horses, which had been destroyed. This scene made all the Goguryeo generals, including Li Guangsheng, shrink their pupils.

"This ......... How is this possible, how did they do it. Li Guangsheng shouted out in a lost voice, for the army of this era, there is no need to turn around, more than 10,000 troops will retreat seven steps in a row in one or two breaths with a password or a drum, and there is almost no chaos, this scene is just the most basic queue requirement for the army in later generations, but in this era, it will make people who have seen such a scene for the first time feel incredible.

"Sideways flat gun!" Standing in front of Guan Xiaotong's roar, 11,000 infantry, with Guan Xiaotong and Lu Han and Luo Chunlai's respective subordinates, were divided into two echelons, and each echelon was divided into five phalanxes.

At this time, the first three rows of spears in the first echelon of the five phalanxes were flattened, and the body of each soldier turned to the right, with the left hand in front and the right hand in the back, and the spear was aimed at the direction of the Goguryeo reinforcements.

In the case that the infantry on Wang Junlin's side were armed with spears that were nearly one foot and four feet long, it was difficult for the Goguryeo soldiers to accurately judge the timing of the stab, and if they rushed over to stab, they would often hit the opponent's spear head, but they did not stab the opponent.
