The Great Sui military system, the national standing soldiers and horses are divided into 12 guards, each guard has a general, two generals. Although there is only one level difference between a general and a general, many generals have been generals for a lifetime and have no hope of becoming generals.

Three days ago, Wang Rengong was still the general of Right Yiwei, and yesterday morning, he had already stepped on the peak of his career as a military general of the Great Sui and became one of the generals of the twelve prefectures. And the commander is Zuo Wuwei, who is known for his bravery and good fighting, and the most important descendants of His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor.

Zuo Wuwei's original general was a wheat iron staff, although he was born a thief, but he had a very high prestige among the soldiers, and he always charged forward in battle, if the person who replaced him was a coward who did not dare to charge in front, he didn't expect to make Zuo Wuwei's soldiers return to their hearts.

Wang Rengong used to be Yang Su's personal soldier, followed Yang Su on many expeditions, and knew the way to command the army, so today, whether in public or private, he has no reason to retreat.

Facts have proved that as expected, Wang Rengong's bravery today has won the respect of all the soldiers of the Left Guard, and whenever the guards around him fall, someone immediately takes the initiative to make up for it, trying to protect the two wings of the main general from being taken advantage of by the enemy. In the blink of an eye, his cone-shaped infantry formation had penetrated more than 200 steps into the enemy's army, and as long as he advanced a few more zhang, the soldiers could reach the command of the main general of the Goguryeo forward.

"Capture the flag, capture the flag!" The soldiers of Zuo Wuwei shouted loudly, and under the command of Wang Rengong, they followed the new leader and rushed forward. Insert.

The bravery of Zuo Wuwei relieved the pressure on the soldiers of Zuo Yiwei who crossed the river from another pontoon bridge on the right flank by at least half.

Yu Wenshu, the general of Zuo Yiwei, who was over the age of sixties, had already passed the age of personally leading the army and fighting for his life, and compared with Wang Rengong, he cared more about the coordination of the armies.

I saw a group of Zuo Yiwei soldiers crossing the bridge one after another under his dispatch and lined up in a small phalanx on the river beach. Several phalanxes took care of each other, and soon they were connected and turned into a large phalanx, firmly holding the bridgehead.

A group of Goguryeo people saw that their soldiers could not shake Zuo Wuwei, and tried to break Zuo Yiwei first, which was in the heart of Yuwenshu. I saw Yu Wenshu wave his hand, and more than 1,000 crossbow carts on the other side of the river fired at the same time, and with a "boom", 10,000 crossbows took off into the air, and the soldiers and horses of Goguryeo, who were about to attack, shot out a blank.

"Heavy armor, move forward!" Although Yu Wenshu is despicable, although he is greedy as an official, he does not have much public heart, but he can become a general but he really fights on the battlefield, and he has a lot of combat experience, and after the mistake four days ago, he did not dare to slack off at this time, and stood at the end of the bridge to convey orders loudly, and his orders were immediately turned into horn sounds, and accurately reached the ears of the soldiers at the front.

The hoplites at the front of the phalanx strode forward, holding the outermost layer of Goguryeo soldiers and horses. At a distance where they could see the faces of their opponents on the other side, the soldiers stabbed each other with steel knives and short spears. Layers of people fall, layers of people step on the corpses of their comrades or enemies and stick to their opponents.

There were no shouts, few people shouting, and in front of the phalanx, there was only the sound of weapons colliding with each other and flesh piercing. The occasional screams and groans were quickly muffled by the dull sound of fighting, and the soldiers insisted one by one with iron faces to see which side's array collapsed first. Someone had a nervous breakdown before they died, and feces and urine trickled down the edges of their boots. In the air, the thick smell of blood and feces was mixed together, and the smoke made people want to gag.

This war is exactly in response to the sentence that describes the ancient cold weapon war as "killing a thousand enemies and losing 800 yourself", which is really to consume and fill with life. When both sides are elite soldiers and have the heart to die, whoever has more people will win, and whoever is ruthless enough will win.

Yang Guang had three or four times more people than the Goguryeo people, and Yang Guang was even more ruthless than Yuan Taizuo, and he could not hesitate to order the battle team to kill all the soldiers who dared to retreat.

"Spearman, rush forward to fill the position!" Yu Wenshu was also accustomed to death, and the smell of blood and feces in the air could not interfere with his command at all. With a slight wave of the corner flag, the lightly armored spearmen at the back of the phalanx strode forward.

They were the cheapest of the Great Sui troops, each with only one wooden pole and iron-tipped spear to use, and the short leather armor on their bodies could only cover the vital points and not be injured by stray arrows. However, their running speed is the fastest in the army, and the lethality formed by the rapid running is also the strongest among all armies except for cavalry. The infantry spear, which was more than eight feet long, stabbed out at high speed through the gap deliberately left by the companion in front of him, and strung the Goguryeo people directly on the tip of the spear.

At the end of a round of stabbing, the Goguryeo front army on the right flank almost collapsed. A large number of soldiers abandoned their weapons and fled, and were shot head-on by the overseers sent by Yuan Taizuo.

Yuan Taizuo ordered the main general of the right wing to personally lead his guards forward to counterattack, but in the face of the hedgehog-like spear and heavy armor mixed array, he couldn't find a place to start, so he had to watch as the enemy heavy armor soldiers closed half a step closer to each other again, slowly squeezing towards their own large array.

"Archer, prepare!" Yu Wenshu held another red trumpet flag aloft. The mournful sound of horns echoed on both sides of the pontoon. Hearing the sound of horns, the archers, who had just adjusted their formation on the river beach, immediately bent their bows and pointed their arrows diagonally at the sky above them.

"Put!" With a wave of the Yuwen Shuling flag, locust-like feathered arrows rose into the air in an instant, passing over his own soldiers and the advance of the Goguryeo people, creating a rain of arrows between the enemy's advance and the follow-up troops.

In such a situation where enemy soldiers are next to each other, the salvo of feathered arrows is not the degree of accuracy, but the density of the blow per unit area.

The well-trained Zuo Yi guards accomplished this goal efficiently. After three rounds of rapid shooting, a death zone appeared in front of the right wing Goguryeo soldiers and the Chinese army, and the Goguryeo soldiers who served as the vanguard lost support.

"Rush up for me, are you going to lose the country, the Sui people are killed, you and your families don't want to survive." The Goguryeo commander Yontaejo, who was watching the battle from afar, roared loudly.

At present, it has become a war of attrition between the two sides, their strength is not comparable to that of the Great Sui, and they will collapse sooner or later if this continues, and Yuan Taizuo is absolutely unwilling to fight a war of attrition with the Great Sui, because their national strength and strength are far from fighting a war of attrition with the Great Sui. But Yuan Taizuo knew that it was impossible to retreat at this time, and the battle reached this level, which side retreated first and exposed its back to the enemy would inevitably form a real rout.

"Those who retreat, kill on the spot!" Yuan Taizuo shouted loudly, and ordered his own personal soldier commander to stride forward with a thousand personal soldiers, and every time he saw a person running towards him, no matter whose command it was, he would be directly killed on the spot.

It has to be said that Yuan Taizuo was very ruthless and very decisive, the bloody killing stopped the rout of the whole army, and the fleeing soldiers had to turn around and face the enemy's blade again.

Seeing that the situation was still critical, Yuan Taizuo waved the command flag, transferred all the soldiers and horses around him, and fought with the soldiers and horses of the Great Sui on the river beach.

I don't know how long it took, but the blood mist rising from the battlefield had even obscured the sunlight overhead.
