The pikemen plugged the gap with flesh and blood. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But in the blink of an eye, another village wall was broken. The pikemen quickly pounced, using grenades, muskets, and spears to plug the gap.

But the thin village walls are too thin.

As soon as it was blocked, it was knocked open again.

Stepping on the corpses, the Goguryeo finally stormed the city.

The Tang army in the village did not give an inch, and made up for the leaks everywhere.

Before each gap, the Tang army launched a white-edged bloody array with the Goguryeo. The fierce battle unfolded everywhere around the four walls of the small Zhuangzi.

The Tang army formed a phalanx of spears, intercepting the Goguryeo with shields, flamethrowers and grenades, and the archers continued to draw their bows and shoot arrows when the walls were closed.

The Goguryeo people shot arrows, horses collided, and they hit fiercely.

There are swords and swords everywhere, and rivers of blood flow everywhere.

In those gaps, the battle was even more fierce, the two sides did not give up half a step, stepped on the corpses of the war dead and continued to fight, screams, roars, the killing of the Tang people, and the scolding of the Goguryeo people, mixed together.

Yuangai Suwen directly sent an iron cavalry under his command, this is a heavy cavalry, there are not many of them, but it is Yuangai Suwen's personal guard iron cavalry.

These cavalrymen are dressed in double iron armor, and the horses are also fully armored, like steel monsters. They directly selected a gap that the Tang Army was struggling to hold onto, and rushed up directly.

The Goguryeo soldiers, who were still fighting there, rushed over like this.

Like a heavy truck, no one can stop it.

The Tang Army's white-robed gun array couldn't stop this bulldozer-like attack, and they rushed into the gun array at once. The pikemen sprayed gunpowder at the heavy cavalry ignition and stabbed at the iron-clad spears, but at most they splashed the starting sparks, but it was useless.

The Goguryeo knights wielded their swords, slashing left and right, and even the white-robed volunteers who did not have the same helmet and cloth armor were difficult to resist.

All at once, he was killed in a river of blood, and he died in battle.

A whole array of guns, 200 white-robed volunteers, and only a few died in a blink of an eye.

The Goguryeo soldiers in the back finally made a breakthrough and erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

"Kill!"

These Goguryeo people were so excited that they finally opened the gap, but the Tang army's resistance was too stubborn, and they couldn't enter.

Well, now, these spearmen are no match for the Iron Cavalry.

Just as they were cheering.

Cheng Chumo rushed with a team of sword players, and when he came up, there was a bunch of grenades, and there was a thunderclap, and the war horses of the Goguryeo Iron Horse were also frightened.

"Chop off the horse's feet!"

Cheng Chumo shouted loudly, holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and took the lead in rolling towards those heavy loads.

The hoplite cavalry of Goguryeo is still somewhat different from the armored cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, and only the front position of their horses is iron armor, but in fact, the position is leather armor. And below the knee of the horse's leg, in fact, there is no armor.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary people would not be able to attack the horse's legs.

But now these heavy horses are no longer running, and they are still a little flustered, which gives Cheng Chumo a chance.

Datang's horizontal knife is the most advanced single knife in this era.

Because of the development of Datang's iron control technology, the beaten bag is called the Su iron knife, and the steel clamping and other technologies are added, making the horizontal knife incomparably sharp.

A top-notch horizontal knife can cut through fifteen layers of cowhide with one sword, which shows its sharpness.

And Cheng Chumo's knife is a new horizontal knife made by the imperial court ordnance supervisor purchasing steel from Li Ji Iron and Steel Factory, which is a step further than the previous Su Tie knife.

A single knife can cut through eighteen layers of leather armor, and even a sharp stab may pierce an iron armor. Except for the two heart goggles of the Datang Mingguang armor, which are impenetrable, ordinary armor can't stop it.

With such a good knife, it is not too easy to cut the legs of unprotected horses.

Knife over.

Broken legs.

No matter how strong the iron rider is, it also has weaknesses.

A horse with a broken leg could not stand, let alone run.

In fact, although the heavy cavalry itself has a very strong defense and can rampage without any scruples, he also has a huge weakness, that is, the burst is strong and the duration is short, once they rush through that formation, they can't run. And the heavy rider who can't run is actually a dead target.

The heavy horseman, whose leg was cut off, became a dead target.

After Cheng Chumo cut off a horse's leg, he no longer cared about the horse and the knight, and had his own spearmen behind him to deal with, all he had to do was cut off the horse's leg.

The sword players he led were all veterans of the government soldiers, and on the battlefield, they were generally jumping soldiers. Those who can be used as jumping soldiers are basically the kind of elite special combat teams, strong in martial arts and flexible.

This kind of soldier, compared to ordinary spearmen and shield soldiers, is not a little stronger, and they are all experienced veterans.

The Goguryeo iron cavalry crushed the Tang army's spearmen, and instantly extinguished a gun array. But Cheng Chumo took the knife and card player, and killed these iron horsemen by surprise, and after cutting dozens of horse legs, this iron horse was stuck there and could not move, and the spearmen arrived behind.

Soon they were drowned.

"Array!"

Wang Xuance, wielding a two-handed sword, hacked a Goguryeo to death, saw that the Goguryeo people in the gap were almost killed, and immediately shouted.

One by one, the spearmen quickly approached him, and soon a gun formation formed again.

A group of Goguryeo people poured in again, and Wang Xuance shouted, "Grenade! ”

A burst of grenades was thrown, and the Goguryeo people who were blown up staggered, and when they gathered again, the gap in front of them was already a complete gun array.

Guns are like a forest.

At this time, the Goguryeo people set up a ladder again, ready to attack on both sides.

The pressure on the Tang army immediately increased.

Ladders were erected on the wall, and the one-foot high wall was indeed too low.

A large number of Goguryeo people abandoned their horses and climbed ladders to the wall.

On the wall, the archers were already tired of shooting, and the arrows in the quiver had already been shot, and they had replenished more than once, and their arms were so sore that they couldn't lift them.

The musketeers on the wall also ran out of gunpowder cartridges, and the grenades ran out.

At this time, he reverted to the lowest rank of pikemen.

Standing at the head of the city, he kept stabbing guns, stabbing guns, and stabbing guns against the Goguryeo people who were constantly rushing up.

Even Li Chao had to take the strong men on the village to join the battle at this time.

"Folks, behind you is our homeland, our brothers, sisters, parents, wives and children, there is no way to retreat, and we will fight to the end!"

A group of old and young masters in the village, with wooden guns and even wooden sticks, also roared one by one at this time, "Fight to the end!" ”

These people are just ordinary ordinary people, but at this time, there is no way to retreat, so they can only fight.

At the moment of life and death, these people burst out with great courage, although the weapons in their hands were extremely rudimentary, although they had no armor on their bodies.

But under the leadership of Li Chao, they followed Li Chao and his guards, surging up, screaming and stabbing at the Goguryeo people who rushed to the city.

With this momentum, Li Chao miraculously repelled this wave of attacks by the Goguryeo people.

However, at this time, the entire Zhaozhuang was under a stormy fierce attack, and the Goguryeo people also saw that victory was just around the corner, and the offensive not only did not stop, but became more and more fierce.

The Goguryeo people broke through the defense again and again and rushed to Chengzhuangli, but the Tang army resisted desperately and was even more desperate than them.

After fierce attacks again and again, they were finally repulsed under the resistance of the Tang army.

Inside and outside the walls of Zhaozhuang, corpses are everywhere.

In such a high-intensity fight, the casualties of the Tang army were extremely heavy.

Li Chao took Zhuang Ding, who was a reserve team, and repeatedly joined the battle to save the scene.

The military doctor bandaged the wound on Li Chao's arm, as the commander-in-chief, he already had many wounds, this battle has reached the most critical time, Li Chao sighed in his heart.

"Xiangguo, it's about to get dark, and when it gets dark, we will fight a bloody way for Xiangguo and send you back to Pingzhou." Liu Renliang said to the teacher.

As Li Chao's disciple of the Art of War and an excellent student of the Martial Arts Hall, he clearly understood the current situation. Although the resistance of the Tang army was strong, the casualties were too heavy. As soon as it gets dark, the situation will only be more unfavorable to the Tang Army.

The Goguryeo people were far superior to the Tang army in terms of numbers, training and equipment, and they had already suffered heavy casualties, all relying on one breath to hold on.

As soon as it gets dark, they won't be able to hold on.

"I was careless, I didn't expect the Goguryeo people to be so ferocious, we have killed and injured at least five or six thousand of them today, but it is really surprising that these dogs can still maintain such an offensive intensity."

Li Chao sighed, "Don't talk about anything else, when it gets dark, we'll break through together." ”

At this time, Li Chao is not the time to be a big one. If they continue to fight, they will all be buried here. Although it is difficult to break through, you can run as much as you can while it is dark.

In fact, Li Chao is still a little looking forward to the reinforcements. But the nearest reinforcements were also Wei Chigong's men, but they rushed to Linyu Pass overnight, and fought a battle there. As for the follow-up reinforcements of the imperial court, Li Chao estimated that they would definitely not be able to catch up.

Even the wise can make mistakes.

He didn't expect Yuangai Suwen to shoot back at this time, and he was so desperate.

If Yuangai Suwen was just a normal attack, Li Chao would have been confident that he would hold on for two or three days, and delay until the reinforcements arrived, and then he would be able to wrap Yuangai Suwen with dumplings.

But now, Yuan Gai Suwen is so willing to attack, he would rather lose half of his own casualties than annihilate him, this resentment is really too deep.

A burst of cheers erupted, and the Goguryeo people rushed in again.

Li Chao looked at the wound.

The wound has been sewn up, "Give me armor." ”

"Take my silver gun!"

"Xiangguo, you just rest here, I'll go." Liu Ren orbit.

Li Chao smiled, "It's all this time, and I still pay attention to this, if I really want to break the village, you and I will die here." Lao Tzu is planted this time, even if he dies, he has to kill a few pads! ”

Li Chao put on his armor again and went into battle with a gun.

"Brothers, killing one is enough, killing two earns one, today is death, grandpa, I also have to pull a few more pads, follow me, kill!"

Li Chao commanded the troops to fight many times, but rarely like this time, repeatedly jumped on his horse and crossed the gun, and personally charged into battle.

"Kill!"

Boom, and another loud bang in the distance.

The wall of Zhaozhuangzhuang, which was already full of holes, suddenly collapsed more than ten zhang.

In the twilight, it was like a monster suddenly opening its bloody mouth.
