Section 193 Battle of Shimen

Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!

The drums vibrate, the fighting spirit boils, the foot riders gather, the flags are displayed, and the battlefield is full of solemn atmosphere. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The combined forces of Goguryeo and Silla mobilized 30,000 troops, and fought in arrays outside the city, and the phalanxes were neatly arranged, which was quite spectacular.

The Tang army dispatched 40,000 people, and the momentum was even greater, they were in an orderly manner, and they entered according to the order.

As a prominent forward soldier, Songyang County Zhichong Mansion got an honor, as the right front army of the winged Chinese army, placed in front of the Chinese army, and on the other side of it was the Gao Hongtu troops.

Speaking of which, Li Jinxing, deputy marshal of the Tang Army and general of the right leading army, arranged this way, which gave Songyang County Zhichong Mansion face, and it must be known that Gao Hongtu was a close confidant of the commander Gao Kan, and Songyang County's Zhichong Mansion was able to rank with other troops, surpassing many seniors in the army.

Honorable! The officers of the Zhichong Mansion in Songyang County taught the soldiers that they must not discredit the glory.

The advantage of the front line is that it has a wide field of vision, unlike other troops who are blinded and cannot see anything, and can only passively accept orders.

He saw that the army had already set up a position, layer upon layer. The crowd is crowded, the spears and halberds are like a forest, and the flags cover the sky and the sun.

On a tall lookout, a bright yellow Luo umbrella was propped up, which was the courtesy given by the imperial court to Gao Kan and Li Jinxing, the main and deputy commanders of the Tang Dynasty! They were dressed in majestic Mingguang armor, sitting upright like a ceremony, and a large Tang character fluttering in the wind behind them.

Around the two coaches, the armor soldiers were like a tide, and the murderous aura was like a substance, even Yang Chengxian was dizzy when he saw it.

On both sides of the lookout, there are two rows of twenty giant cowhide drums supported by ox carts, and under each giant drum stand two shirtless hammer wrestlers.

Hundreds of Mingguang armored cavalry, around the lookout and drum carts, galloped back and forth to patrol, and the guard was fierce.

There were dozens of heralds carrying various colored flags on horseback and through the edges, and the river was constantly flowing back and forth between the watchtower and the various military formations, passing on news.

With the two commanders as the central army, Gao Hongtu and Songyang County Zhichongfu as the left and right forwards, the Tang army lined up in a large formation.

The platoon of the Chinese army used to be infantry, a thick military formation, with Mo sword soldiers, pikemen, shield soldiers and archers densely lined up.

Behind them were large forces of cavalry, followed by infantry and cavalry, all the way to the 40,000-strong army.

Looking at the enemy army again, it is the Goguryeo and Silla coalition army, the Goguryeo army has a total of 20,000 soldiers, and the Silla army is 10,000, but the Silla army is more distinctly clothed and well-equipped, and it is in the position of the central army, and the left and right flanks are the Goguryeo soldiers, many of whom are ragged and cut down for soldiers, but the morale is not bad.

What I saw was basically infantry, there were very few cavalry, and their horse breed was also inferior, and some of the tall horses were captured by the Tang army or foreign tribes.

Standing in front of the formation, Yang Chengxian knew the reason why the enemy dared to fight, and their foothold was mostly low hilly areas, which was conducive to infantry defense and not conducive to the Tang cavalry charge.

Shimen Pass is located in the rear of the enemy army, a bit far away, and it is not clear to see.

The Tang army was located in a plain area under the hills, which was convenient for formation, but it was easy to attack and difficult to defend.

……

The two armies faced each other, starting at 6 a.m. and ending at 9 a.m.

The coaches of the two sides agreed that everyone would fight a decisive battle, so no one used any sneak attack tactics such as "hitting the midstream", and they all honestly let the other side line up and did not interfere in any way.

Of course, if you really don't want to lose face and attack the other party halfway, you can do it at most once, and then you will lose your credibility and never be believed.

As the saying goes: "Before the two sides go to war, your reputation has spread among the enemy!" ”

Whether it's good or bad, people may be more familiar with you than you, so after the agreement, few generals will do such shameless things.

The sound of horses' hooves bursts, Datang coach Gao Kan straddles the white horse, leading the team forward, and the Tang army shouts in unison: "Datang Wansheng, handsome and mighty!" ”

The roar rolled over the position like spring thunder, Yang Chengxian and Cheng Boxi only felt that their heartbeat intensified, and their blood was rising, and they just wanted to fight happily.

This is true of all officers and soldiers!

Meritorious service, right now!

Gao Kan personally went out of the battle, and the other party also had nobles to greet him, the person who came was dressed in a big hat, purple clothes and gold jewelry, and his temperament was elegant, similar to a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty has a huge impact on the surrounding areas, as long as it is an evolved tribe, most of them are proficient in Chinese, the more high-level they are, the more Chinese they know, and the lower-class people are the local native language, and even high-level people can only speak Chinese and not their own native language, which is not uncommon.

"Datang, the head of the march of Dongzhou Road, the general of the left prison gate, Gao Kan!"

"Silla, Da Ah Meal Xiaochuan!" The other party does not have so many doorways as Tang Jun, and it is straightforwardly an official position, but it is surprising.

"Big Meal!" Gao Kan snorted, he knew that Da Ah Fan was a very high official position in Silla, equivalent to the level of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty or the secretary of the military department.

Silla finally showed up in the end and sent elite soldiers to directly confront Datang and compete for the best.

Gao Kan reproached: "The Tang Dynasty and Silla are brothers' countries, and Goguryeo was evil in the past, and the Tang Dynasty and Silla fought together, fought together, and broke Goguryeo, and the friendly relations between the two countries were like a surging river, endless!" Unexpectedly, the two countries are meeting each other today, which is regrettable, if you are lost, it is not too late to return to the country! ”

Da Ah Fan Xiaochuan said indifferently: "General Gao is invited!" I have admired the reputation of the tall general for a long time, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation! The Tang Dynasty and Silla jointly attacked Goguryeo is a matter of the past, and now it is not what it used to be, but your country's 'lips and teeth are cold' but it has taught us the truth of how to behave in people, so I have to save it! ”

The reason is profound, Gao Kan knows that it is better to talk more, and said hesitantly: "In this case, let the sons and daughters play a few hands!" ”

Xiaochuan said happily: "Okay, I'm about to learn!" ”

The coaches on both sides returned to their respective formations, and Gao Kan immediately gave the order, and went out to fight with a high ambition!

The Tang Dynasty generals are like clouds, and they have a high ambition to fight, obviously letting him show his face, but this is the authority of the coach, and others cannot interfere.

Liwei!

The fame can be worth ten thousand troops, the shadow of the name tree, as long as there is a reputation, wealth and official positions are all there, just like how difficult it was for Feng Xiaobao to become an army, but after killing 10,000 Tubo people, that is, money to find him, although the official position is pressed against him, it is for his good, accumulation and development, and it will come naturally in the future, soaring to the sky!

Gao Hongtu rode a big green horse, held two long knives, and drove proudly towards the enemy's array!

The drums that followed him to cheer for him sounded, and the sound spread for ten miles, and the Tang army shouted excitedly, cheering him up loudly, and the three armies shouted as loudly as they could, like a tsunami from a mountain, shocking people's hearts, and anyone would be shaken and excited.

The enemy army also dispatched a general, I poured, wearing the Mingguang armor of the Tang Army, and there were no holes in the body, obviously from the warehouse or prisoners who had not been in battle, and the armor of the Tang Army was easy to use.

He held a spear in his hand, and his eyes were focused on Gao Hongtu.

Their officers and soldiers were also shouting loudly, as if they were calling out the title of "Sha Fan Mountain World".

Sha Meal, which is an official position in Silla, can generally be the highest governor at the level of Silla County, and the status is not low.

Everyone's voices grew lower, watching the two riders quickly approach...... (To be continued.) )
