Chapter 1152: The Reserve Team Led by Li Xuanba

The men turned on their backs, the blood splattered, the howls of the soldiers, the neighing of the horses, and the sound of explosions one after another, accompanied by the sound of drums and horns, all of this gradually became enveloped in the thick smoke drifting from the south, and on the two wings of the battlefield, completely caught in a dark battle.

In Shen Guo'er's eyes, the light cavalry hedging on the two wings was too shocking, but in fact, the battlefield in front of the Chinese army was even more tragic than the two wings. The cavalry of the Goguryeo Chinese army, which was about to collapse at the touch of a button, became extremely fierce at this time, and their strength seemed to be even more, and at this time, they were entangled with Wei Chi Jingde's subordinates, who had slowed down, and they were several times more numerous, so that they did not show their advantage slightly.

The 6,000 cavalry of the Sui army that had been collected in the late period had been sent by Wang Junlin to rescue Yu Chi Jingde, and it has to be said that these 6,000 cavalry showed strong combat power, and the Goguryeo people dispatched a full 10,000 cavalry to entangle them to the death, and then another 10,000 cavalry frantically attacked the 3,000 cavalry belonging to Yu Chi Jingde.

On the rear command carriage, there were only Wang Junlin, Shen Guo'er and all kinds of command signal troops, and in addition to Wang Junlin's 500 personal soldiers on both sides, there were also 1,000 cavalry of Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba as reserves.

Wang Junlin hesitated a little at this time, and sent Luo Shixin out again.

Luo Shixin couldn't hold it back, picked up a big gun and roared and led a thousand cavalry to rush out, fighting with the Goguryeo cavalry, showing extreme bravery, Shen Guoer watched him lead people to gallop left and right among the enemy army, and killed thousands of Goguryeo cavalry in an instant, especially Luo Shixin himself killed nearly 100 people, and couldn't help but praise: "Luo Shixin, this kid is so brave." ”

Li Xuanba, who was not far away, pouted disapprovingly, and said in his heart: "What a good way to do this!" ”

The battle was inextricable in front of him, but Wang Junlin always refused to put the 1,000 cavalry led by Li Xuanba into battle, but instead let them stay by his side to watch the battle, which made Li Xuanba's heart anxious, but he didn't dare to urge.

At the beginning of the battle, Shen Guo'er was still a little nervous, and it was difficult for him to distinguish some subtle changes in the battle situation, and it was difficult to judge which ones were fleeting opportunities and which ones were just ordinary things that appeared in the battle, but at this time in the battle, Shen Guo'er had already become calm and calm, although it was still impossible to see through the details at a glance, but the changes in the entire battle situation had been clearly imprinted in her mind.

"Guo'er, what did you say was left after the Chinese army melee?" Wang Junlin retracted his binoculars and suddenly pointed at the rear of their middle battlefield.

"It must be a trap for the Goguryeos." Shen Guo'er replied without thinking, "The Goguryeo people must have set up an ambush to trap the front army of the Chinese army. ”

Wang Junlin nodded, looked intently at the middle of the road, and suddenly shouted: "Li Xuanba, why do you think the Goguryeo people practice such tactics?" ”

Li Xuanba was stunned by his question, and then said: "I think it must be because they are fighting in chaos!" ”

"Why is Li fighting in chaos?" Wang Junlin suddenly turned his head and glanced at Li Xuanba.

But I heard Li Xuanba say again: "I guess it's because the Goguryeo people consider that we have more troops than them, so they want our people to cut off contact and fight separately, and then he can break them individually!" ”

Wang Junlin praised: "Yes, so we must break through a gap as soon as possible, left, center, right, whichever one, as long as we succeed, we can take the initiative, and the calculation of the Goguryeo people will fail." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Junlin may have felt that the time had come, so he suddenly raised his voice and said, "Li Xuanba, do you think you can break through a gap with a thousand people?" ”

Without waiting for Li Xuanba to answer, Wang Junlin said again: "Goguryeo is a soldier of a hundred battles, and his riding skills are exquisite. Moreover, if we attack the left, the Goguryeo people may not be able to save the left, and if we attack the right, the Goguryeo people may not be able to save the right. ”

Wang Junlin struck the horsewhip lightly, and said: "The art of war says, surprise and attack unprepared. Li Xuanba, where did you say that the Goguryeo army was most unprepared at this time? ”

"Uncle Shi mean?" Li Xuanba's eyes lit up.

"You're a fool, and that's when you understand. If it weren't for the fear that you wouldn't understand the reason and affect this clever plan, I wouldn't have bothered to tell you so much. You see that there are hundreds of thousands of people fighting at this scene, and the radius is no less than five or six miles, and your thousand people are moving, and the Goguryeo people have no elevated highway or telescopes, and they will never find out the intentions of your thousand people. Wang Junlin glared at Li Xuanba before he said.

"Disciple commands!" Li Xuanba replied loudly, turned to face his thousand cavalry, and shouted in a deep voice: "Listen to my orders!" ”

In the midst of a scuffle, the 1,000 reserve troops led by Li Xuanba, who was next to Wang Junlin, disappeared without a trace.

Unconsciously, the fierce battle between the 50,000 cavalry of Goguryeo and the more than 70,000 cavalry of the three sides on Wang Junlin's side has lasted for more than two hours. For Yuan Taizuo, the combat strength of the cavalry under his command did not disappoint him, but he was taken aback by the combat power of the cavalry under Wang Junlin's command, although he had some judgment on the combat strength of the army under Wang Junlin according to the previous major battles in Annan County provided by the spies in these days, he originally thought that as long as the tactics were appropriate, it would be enough to use 50,000 cavalry to deal with only 5,000 Wang Junlin's lineage, plus 6,000 defeated Sui troops, and 60,000 Baekje and Silla. This can be regarded as a relatively high position for Wang Junlin's side, but after all, he has not experienced it personally, so there was still a mistake in the final judgment.

The combat effectiveness of Wang Junlin's cavalry exceeded his expectations, and even at this time, they still failed to eat the 3,000 men and horses of Wei Chi Jingde, who had been encircled, as expected.

The biggest variable, or the most unexpected thing happened, the cavalry under the command of Wang Junlin turned out to be a qualified infantryman himself. He had never seen cavalry and skilled infantry battles. But it happened right before his eyes.

Yu Chi Jingde was good at adapting, they originally carried bows and crossbows, and after Yu Chi Jingde found out that he had been tricked and understood the intentions of the Goguryeo cavalry, they quickly found a way to deal with it. He gave an order, and without even waiting for his order, under the command of those low-ranking military attachΓ©s, all the cavalry dismounted one after another, with war horses on the outside and soldiers in the center, forming an infantry circle formation one by one, and fighting the Goguryeo cavalry with strong bows and crossbows.

At the request of Wang Junlin, every cavalry and every officer and soldier of the naval division under his command must first be a qualified infantryman.
