Chapter 990: Forcibly crossing the Liaoshui
And so the night passed.
Early the next morning, 100,000 Tang troops, led by Li Shimin, came to the shore of Liaoshui.
At the same time, someone had already reported the news to Park 13.
"General, the Tang army is going to cross the river again."
Hearing that the Tang army was about to cross the river again, Pu Shisan's brows condensed slightly, and he snorted: "These Tang soldiers are really not afraid of death, aren't there enough people who died last night that they have to cross the river so soon." ”
Pu 13 said, but he didn't care much about this matter, he picked up his weapon and shouted: "Gather the army and follow me to the shore to fight the Tang army." ”
Soon, 50,000 soldiers and horses of Silla followed Park 13 to the shore of Liaoshui.
The two armies looked at each other across the water, and the Tang army was like a rainbow.
And after Pu Shisan saw Tang Jun's team, his brows suddenly condensed.
In a big battle last night, their sharp arrows were swept out, it stands to reason that the casualties of the Tang army should be heavy, there should not be so many soldiers and horses, and besides, the Tang army crossed the river last night unfavorably, and today's momentum should be affected.
However, no, Tang Jun's momentum is better than he imagined, I don't know how many times better.
The more Park 13 looked at it, the more he felt that there was a problem.
At this time, Li Shimin, who was here, showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and then ordered: "Cross the river." ”
At the sound of an order, more than 2,000 ships crossed to the Liaoshui side, more than 200 large and medium-sized ships walked in the front, and the bow of the ship was placed with the Tang Dynasty crossbow and trebuchet, in addition to these, there were rows and rows of archers.
More than 2,000 ships set off in a majestic manner, and the momentum was overwhelming.
Pu Shisan's eyes condensed slightly, and he suddenly asked, "Last night, did the Tang army fire sharp arrows?" ”
"This ......"
"How?"
"Nope!"
After getting this answer, Pu Shisan's face immediately fell: "His grandmother's has fallen for Tang Jun's plan." ”
He suddenly thought of the matter of Zhuge Kongming's grass boat borrowing arrows in the Three Kingdoms, and last night, they were afraid that they would fall for the Tang army's plan.
And last night, they consumed half of their bows and arrows, but they didn't do any damage to the Tang army, which was a big loss.
"Damn, damn ......"
Pu Shisan scolded angrily, and then, without hesitation, shouted: "Archers prepare, launch me, launch me fiercely, you must block the Tang army." ”
He was a little uneasy in his heart, but now in this situation, they could only use all means to stop the Tang army.
Of course, in Pu Shisan's opinion, even if they consumed half of the sharp arrows, it shouldn't be difficult for the remaining hundreds of thousands of sharp arrows to block the Tang army, right?
Even if it can't be stopped, it has to make Tang Jun bleed profusely.
The Silla soldiers and horses were assembled on the shore, and the archers were ready, and as soon as the Don army entered their strafing range, they would immediately move.
And, while they were waiting, on the ship, Qin Tian's eyes were slightly condensed, and then he waved his hand: "Launch." ”
At the sound of an order, the Tang Divine Crossbow and trebuchet were immediately launched, and they had not yet entered the distance of an arrow, but their Great Tang Divine Crossbow and trebuchet were things that had a much longer range than manpower.
So, shooting where the enemy can't shoot them, and they are able to shoot the enemy, can minimize their casualties.
Sharp arrows rained down.
The Datang Divine Crossbow can fire dozens of sharp arrows at once, which is much more efficient than the archers, so although there are not many Datang Divine Crossbows, they are comparable to 10,000 archers, and the range and strength are very powerful.
Sharp arrows flew and boulders fell from the sky.
When those Silla soldiers and horses were waiting, they were all stunned for a moment when they saw the Tang army suddenly launch sharp arrows.
"Tang Jun is really stupid, isn't it a waste to launch sharp arrows so far?"
The Silla soldiers and horses felt that the Tang army was stupid, but when they were thinking like this, the momentum of those sharp arrows and boulders did not weaken in the slightest, and when they found out that something was wrong, these sharp arrows and boulders had already flown over.
"Ah......h
"Ah......h
In a moment, the person who was laughing at Tang Jun's stupidity just now had already been hit by an arrow, or was hit by a boulder, and they were either injured or killed.
They were shocked.
"How is it possible, how is this possible, Tang Jun...... How could Tang Jun have such a powerful thing? ”
"Their arrows...... It's so powerful. ”
"No way, it's absolutely impossible...... Ah......h
The Silla soldiers and horses on the shore were constantly being shot and stoned to death, and although they had bows and arrows in their hands, they had no effect at all, because they could not shoot the Tang army at all.
However, the Tang army continued to shoot at them.
Pu Shisan's eyes were solemn, and his heart sank a little more.
"Withdraw some."
They had to withdraw from the strafing range of the Tang army and wait for the Tang army to approach before firing.
The Silla soldiers and horses retreated, and the Tang army, on the side, continued to move forward, and just when they were an arrow away from the shore, the Silla soldiers and horses, who had already retreated, suddenly rushed to the front again.
"Launch." Park 13 shouted angrily, and for a while, the sharp arrows of the Silla soldiers and horses flew like rain.
Tang Jun's side was not polite, and immediately shot with sharp arrows.
However, the Tang army on the ship is only 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the archers are only 10,000 at most, even if there are Tang crossbows, they are only equivalent to more than 10,000 archers, so in the face of 30,000 archers in Silla State, they are obviously going to suffer.
And on the ship, their actions are not agile enough, and it is not easy to dodge.
They became the target of the Silla soldiers.
However, the suppression of the Tang army also put a lot of pressure on Silla.
The two sides kept shooting sharp arrows back and forth, and it didn't take long for the ships of the Don army to come to the shore, and after coming to the shore, the archers on both sides were useless.
The Tang army suffered many casualties in crossing the river this time, with thousands of dead and wounded.
But even so, except for those who wanted to drive the ship back, they still escorted 10,000 people ashore, and after 10,000 Tang troops went ashore, Pu Shisan's side immediately waved his hand.
"Stop them."
At the sound of the order, 20,000 Silla soldiers and horses rushed over, and a big battle soon broke out between the two sides, and the archers of Silla were still waiting vigilantly, because their war was not over.
The ships of the Tang army quickly turned back, and soon, another group of Tang troops boarded the boat, but this time, they did not cross the river at the place where they had landed before, but changed places.
After all, in that place, their Don army was fighting, and if they crossed the river from that place, their sharp arrows would not be used, after all, there were their men on the shore, but the archers of the Silla country were unscrupulous.
