1323. Chapter 1323

The center of gravity of Liaodong's defense lies in the Liao River, and the defense center of gravity of the Korean Peninsula lies in the Yalu River, this long river that flows in later generations divided China and Korea, and the Yalu River is flat after it, if it is lost here, the cavalry from Liaodong can even gallop the entire territory of the Goguryeo Peninsula, and only Silla can rely on the mountains at the southern tip of the peninsula to resist for a moment, so Li You, Jin Shengman, Li Chengqian, and Li Xin, the king of Liao, are completely pressed on this defense line, on the shore, almost 500,000 Japanese troops, Liaodong Army, The Silla Korean coalition army was arranged on the shore like ants coming out of its nest, and there was no edge in sight.

The samurai from the Wa Kingdom carried swords and large armor, and their short bodies were tensed with strength, as if they could not wait to fight, constantly roaring, while the Hwarang of Silla wore thick felt hats with large brimmed felts, dressed with some bells and whistles, moved his hands and feet, and occasionally glanced at the Wa people with his eyes.

More than 10,000 young or old Guanzhong people rode on Liaodong war horses, and the veterans stared at the Tang soldiers on the other side under thick armor, and seemed to remember the eventful years of fighting under that banner.

The lowest morale is the Liaodong tribes, Li Xin's army is only more than 9,000 left, starting from the assault on Youzhou, Liaodong and the Tang Dynasty have fought more than a dozen battles, repeatedly defeated, and finally even Liaodong was lost, these cavalry composed of Tang people, Jurchen Khitan and Goguryeo nobles are even lower than the more than 300,000 temporary requisitioned people in the back.

At the scene, even Li Chengqian frowned, hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but be polite to Li Xin but ordered: "Nephew of the King of Liao!" Tang Xiujing has a cunning temperament, you should lead the defense department to the rear of the army! ”

Li Xinke didn't have the arrogance of his father Li Tai at all, listening to Li Chengqian's orders, he led the cavalry around the army, and the back of the eastern cavalry, Li You couldn't help but snort: "Tiger father and dog."

Li Chengqian shook his head with a sigh, back then, their brothers were in Chang'an, and they were fighting for the throne, but in the end, they were cheaper than the unknown Li Zhi, and now they were forced to unite and struggle to the death by the old ten of the year.

And there is Lao Jiu, who was the crown prince back then, and he didn't even treat this younger brother as a brother, but now, people can compete with Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty, and he was so conceited back then, but now, he can't even compare to a little finger of others.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian asked Li You with emotion: "Old Seven, is there any news from the King of Min?" He, is he willing to help us? ”

"Who knows?"

Li You shook the whip angrily: "Lao Jiu is said to be fighting with what mule and what horse is fighting fiercely, it has been more than a year away from our Datang, and my second child has been walking for more than half a year, and he has not yet arrived at the place, if you want me to say, what is there to fight with a mule, and a few whips will be smoked smoothly?"

Li You has no knowledge, it does not mean that Li Chengqian has no knowledge, he has received a complete prince's education, and he has heard that this Rome is known as the Great Qin State in ancient Chinese books, it is said that its army is extremely good at fighting and dominates the Western Regions, but for the Tang people, it is still a legendary place, who would have thought that Li Jie really arrived at those legendary places?

sighed again, when Li Chengqian still wanted to say a few words, the cold was not afraid that the military drums on the opposite side were bursting, the Tang army had already begun to beat the war drums, and the majestic army was moving forward like a piece of iron, and thousands of troops and horses were advancing together, and the sharp spirit forced people to brave the cold from the spine straight up.

It's not that he hasn't experienced a war, but this kind of momentum forced Li You to take it with a momentum, so he had to take out his ruffian breath and spit on the ground and scolded: "Damn, what master and what slave, Lao Shi's minions are so invincible, they march without saying hello, they are really not sons of men!"

Coincidentally, before Li You finished scolding, a group of Tang army messengers carrying red flags on the opposite side hurriedly broke away from the moving government army and rushed straight to Li Chengqianli and Wang Daxu on the other side of the river.

That's right, it was a horseback straight away, Tang Xiujing chose to wait on the bank of the Liao River for almost seven months, just to wait for today's fighters, the entire Liao River is now frozen under the amazing cold of Liaodong, so that the entire Tang army can cross the river to fight.

"The captain of the Tang Xishui School, Chehou Yuyue, greeted King Li, His Royal Highness the King of Qi, please forgive the official for not dismounting under the drape!"

At a long distance, the generals of the Tang Army who came reined in their horses and shouted in circles.

I'm about to beat you, and I'm still pretending to be polite at this time, in Li Jie's words, a typical pretense, so Li You snorted unceremoniously: "If you don't need to forgive your sins, this king will personally cut you off the horse in a while."

Obviously choked, Chehou Yu Yue choked for a moment, and then continued to roar with a gloomy face: "My chief manager, the general of Zuo Wuhou, Tang Xiujing, ordered to pay homage to the two kings, Tang Marshal proposed, your army retreated three arrows to our army, and our army crossed the river to fight, so you don't have to go back and forth, and it is decided to fight with the two kings, isn't it convenient?"

Everyone knows that the most vulnerable time for the army is to cross half of the river, or how to have a half-crossing and attack, although the Liao River is frozen, but the river surface is smooth, and some places will break, for the Tang army, it is still a drawback, if the Tang army is halfway through the sudden attack, then maybe it is really a battle.

Suddenly moved, Li You opened his mouth and wanted to agree, but who knew that Li Chengqian flatly refused, and shouted when he opened his mouth: "Go back and tell your family manager, don't allow it!"

Chehou Yu Yue turned around and went back with his cavalry, and Li You couldn't help but look back with some annoyance and shouted: "Big brother! Halfway through, he Tang Xiujing is looking for death, why should we refuse? ”

"More than 200 years ago, the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian also thought so, let 80,000 Jin army Beifu soldiers cross the river, but the rear team shouted, the whole army retreated, and now our army is not as strong as Fu Jian, trade and then retreat, the army's heart is shaken, once Tang Xiujing takes the opportunity to grab the merit, our army will rest!"

In recent years, Li Chengqian has changed the problem of flying and domineering in the past, but he has really learned a lot from Yuangai Su Wenzhen, and Li You is speechless when he speaks, indeed, the peninsula coalition army is swept away by the four forces and gathered as soldiers, no better than the Tang army to train the government soldiers, although there are many people, the combat power is not strong, if you don't pay attention to it, maybe you really come back to the rout.

Tang Xiujing's strategy did not succeed, but it did not affect his determination to fight a decisive battle, the infantry of the Tang army still stepped on the ice neatly, Hessesen's army phalanx pressed towards the other side of the river like a mountain, and the banner was solemn, the peninsula coalition army on the south bank of the Yalu River couldn't help but be chaotic, and some of the peasants' army formation showed fear and retreated noisily, and the government soldiers composed of nobles shouted and cursed loudly, and beat the sergeants with whips and could not retreat!

Li Chengqian's heart was also lifted, and Xiu Jing's army continued to move forward slowly, and his fists were clenched tightly.

Li You, who was holding a big bow, was also sweating in his palms, silently counting his steps.

100 meters, 80 meters, 50 meters, the Tang army has already stepped on the ice, Li Chengqian suddenly waved the flag and shouted, thousands of Goguryeo Lux rushed out at the same time, the dead grinded, like ramming to build a road, and smashed the grinding disc of more than 100 catties on the ice, which originally borne the weight of tens of thousands of troops, and the ice surface was already heavily loaded.

"Ahhh!!h

In the midst of the screams, the ice collapsed, and the sergeants fell into the glacier, and in the chaos, the archers of each Chongfu hurriedly moved forward and attacked the Goguryeo wrestlers who smashed the ice with compound bows.

"Attack!"

Li You also suddenly pulled out the big bow in his hand, and in a burst of ugly shouts of stepping on Kai, tens of thousands of warriors also suddenly pulled out the big bow more than one meter long, and the long arrows were also shot back like raindrops, and in the sound of puff, the Tang Army archers who came out of the battle also fell on the ice, and their blood turned a huge red, and some wounded soldiers even fell directly into the ice cave, and were washed into the boundless darkness by the icy water of the Yalu River.

However, the section of the river that could be selected as the place to cross the river is also slow, and this is still the dry season in winter, and after the Tang army laid wooden planks on the broken ice, and lost some people, the Tang army still continued to push forward irrepressibly.

The rain of arrows on both sides never stopped, and the casualties of the coalition forces on the peninsula were even greater, and the peasant soldiers who lacked armor protection fell under the compound bows in pieces.

The spearmen of the Eye Army had advanced to the riverside, and this time it was the turn of the Silla Army of the Front Army, Kim Famin and Kim Chunqiu drew their swords almost at the same time, and Hwarang, who was wearing cloth armor and a wide-brimmed felt hat, jumped off the river bank with a shout, and then the Silla soldiers jumped down like dumplings.

Relying on Hwalang Dao, these Silla monkeys passed through the spear array, slashed and killed those spearmen with knives, and then rushed up to the Silla soldiers and scattered the Tang army's vanguard formation.

The chaotic shouting and killing shook the entire Yalu River on both sides, and the hot blood melted the ice of the Yalu River, one side is to survive, the other side is to pacify the north, and the next hundred years of stability are also fighting for civilization, and no one can retreat!
