Chapter 8: The First Battle of the Broken Army

The Sui army besieged Liaodong City for many days, but there was no way to take the Goguryeo people who could not shrink from it, and they attacked every day, and in the end they suffered countless casualties.

The military department Shangshu offered advice, surrounded Liaodong City with a large army, and then sent several soldiers and horses to attack the nearby cities of Liaodong with surprise troops. First, it could cut off the enemy's rear route, and secondly, it could also break through the cities of Goguryeo to obtain grain baggage and alleviate the difficulty of constantly transporting grain from the Central Plains.

After discussing with his ministers, Emperor Yang Guang ordered Yu Wenshu and General Yang Yichen to lead an army east to Pyongyang, and ordered Chen Kefu to lead the military camp out of Buyeo Road in order to find fighters.

At this time, the whole army was ready to go, this was the first battle since the broken barracks became a separate army, and everyone was a little nervous. Chen Kefu was also nervous, these cavalry were only in his hands for less than half a month, and he himself was not familiar with this army, but now he was going to lead them on the journey. However, Chen Kefu has no choice, if he wants to have an elite army, he can only train out of blood and fire, and he can only get more bargaining chips for his career through war.

Chen Kefu held a bowl of wine in his hand and said loudly, "All the soldiers, drink this wine with me today, and I will wait for the good sons to kill the Goguryeo dog thieves together." On this trip, maybe someone will fall, maybe someone will never come back. But for the hundreds of thousands of comrades who have fallen in Liaodong, it is all worth it. Everyone, drink this wine, you have left the address of your home with Sima, if you unfortunately fail to come back, then I will still take care of your father, wife, and children for you. If I am unfortunate enough to fall down facing the barbarians of Goguryeo, please burn a few pieces of yellow paper for me every year! The Great Sui will win, and the barracks will be mighty! ”

With his neck tilted and drank the wine in the bowl, Chen Kefu directly smashed the bowl at his feet.

The three thousand cavalry had already left their home addresses according to Chen Kefu's orders, and the adults had an order that no matter which one died, the remaining broken barracks would help them raise orphans, widows, and children. Without this worry, the cavalrymen who have been holding back in this barracks for so many days are also very eager to go into battle to kill the enemy, earn military merits, and get rewards!

The soldiers who drank the dry wine threw the empty bowls in their hands aside and shouted in unison.

"The Great Sui will win, and the broken military camp will be mighty!"

"Pass the order, and the whole army will be dialed!"

Like a tiger out of a cage, more like a wolf pack in the forest, Chen Kefu's words just fell, accompanied by the thunderous sound of horses' hooves like arrows, rushing out of the camp and moving forward.

Chen Kefu was wearing the gorgeous bright silver unicorn Mingguang treasure armor, and riding the Western Regions horse Qingqi that Yang Guang had rewarded without a single stray hair, which was so conspicuous in the ranks of the whole army that all the soldiers could see at a glance that their commander was in front.

Luo Lin was escorted by Chen Kefu with fifty soldiers, and he did not approve of Chen Kefu rushing to the front of the team. According to his thoughts, Chen Kefu, the chief general of the army, should be in the middle of the army, but Chen Kefu is unwilling to listen to him.

The purpose of their trip was the new city of Buyeo Province, where there were nearly 20,000 Goguryeo garrisons, according to Tanma. However, although there are a lot of people, they are not the most elite front-line troops in Goguryeo, but just some soldiers stationed there.

The 3,000 cavalry marched all the way, and the fields and villages were deserted along the way, and it was July, and the fields were deserted. Chen Kefu sighed while riding his horse, it seems that the battle of Liaodong is not only consuming a lot of the national strength of the Great Sui Dynasty, but also hurting the national capital of Goguryeo. This one is the lord of the Central Plains, the other is the king of the Far East, and now they have finally started a life-and-death duel. Chen Kefu knew their fate, and the Sui Dynasty was scarred by this, and finally could not suppress the rebellion of the commoners and nobles at home, and was the first to perish. And Goguryeo also didn't have the last laugh, the Goguryeo people, who had overdrawn too many countries, finally couldn't breathe for long after their opponents fell to the ground, and they were finally destroyed by Li Tang, the replacement of Sui.

It is getting closer and closer to the new city, and when it is only a few dozen miles away from the new city, there are several horses from the distance opposite Chen Kefu. The person who came was Mao Yi, and he had just been sent out to reconnoiter the enemy situation in Xincheng.

"Great boss, oh, I said it wrong, general, I have already led someone to find out the situation in Xincheng, and the general of Goguryeo Xincheng already knows our purpose. However, the other party did not defend the city, but sent 10,000 people out of the city to prepare for the battle. At present, a battle formation has been set up in this valley more than ten miles away from the city, and I estimate that there are about 10,000 infantry and about 1,000 cavalry. ”

Chen Kefu turned his head and looked at the old general Li Benlei at each other, and saw an obvious smile in the other party's eyes.

"This Goguryeo man is really good at cooperating, God really helped me break the barracks, if he can't get out of the city, I still have to worry about what I can't do with them. Since they are so face-giving out of the city to fight, then let's fulfill them. ”

"Hu Hai, Mao Yi listens to orders."

"The subordinates are here!"

"I order you two to take two regiments of men and horses, and after a while, you will go straight to the left flank of the opponent, and try not to fall into it."

"Lu Shishen and Chen Qing listen to the order, I order you two to lead two regiments of men and horses, and after taking over the battle, I will be killed from the left flank, and his left flank must be torn apart."

"Master Zhang He led two regiments of men and horses alone as a reserve, once the enemy's formation is broken, I ask you to immediately go directly behind the enemy and intercept his way back."

"The remaining five regiments of men and horses will advance with me head-on, remember, keep a distance until the enemy is broken, and use bows and crossbows against the enemy."

"Yes!"

Li Benlei did not have any objections to Chen Kefu's order after hearing it, and such an arrangement was already a very formal way of playing. After a simple makeshift reorganization, the sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and with a roar the three thousand cavalry galloped away.

Chen Kefu took the lead, his silver armor was so dazzling, and the Goguryeo team in the distance was in front of him, with more than 10,000 infantry lined up in a huge phalanx, and outside was a spear array holding spears. Outside the three arrays, there were about a thousand cavalry guarding the two wings.

"When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Kill! Chen Kefu raised the lance in his hand high and ordered loudly.

"Kill!" The camp roared and the horses' hooves thundered, and the 3,000 cavalry, who had been trained in formation for many days, rushed towards the formation of the Goguryeo people in a neat queue like turbulent waves.

Ten thousand arrows fired at once, such a scene was very spectacular, I saw that not far from the array of the Goguryeo people, all the Sui troops began to draw arrows, and they shot directly in front of the sky at a 45-degree elevation angle, such a shot is covering, there is no need for archery accuracy or not, the key is whether you shoot fast or not.

The Goguryeo people, who were originally holding spears and waiting for the Sui cavalry to rush into battle, did not expect that the cavalry of the Great Sui would suddenly come to this move. When the rain of arrows fell from the sky with strange sounds, the Goguryeo people, who were unprepared and did not have many shields, fell to the ground and struggled for a while, and the cries of pain lasted for a long time.

The shock troops had only time to shoot three rounds of arrows, and they were already getting closer and closer to the phalanx of the Goguryeos. Seeing that they were about to rush to the front of the battle, the Great Sui army suddenly divided into a team from the left and right and killed the Goguryeo cavalry on both flanks.

One hundred, fifty, thirty steps, getting closer and closer, the Goguryeo people had to regroup in a panic, and layers of spearmen were rearranged in front of the formation. This is the best way to deal with the cavalry charge, the spear pointed diagonally forward, the tail end has been deeply inserted into the earth, as long as the cavalry rushes up, then the cavalry horse will be mercilessly pierced on the spear phalanx.

However, in the face of such a spear array, the Sui army did not rush straight to the side without fear of death, but suddenly separated to both sides like a small wave, along the outer edge of the phalanx, there were constantly cavalry with good cavalry stretching their bows and arrows, and the cavalry who were not good at shooting just rushed to the front row with spears in their hands, and they pierced the bodies of the soldiers on the outermost edge of the infantry phalanx with the spears in their hands, and some even pierced two people directly with a spear. It was followed by a scimitar and a spear that was constantly being filled. In this way, the entire Sui army rode war horses and quickly rushed around the infantry phalanx of the Goguryeo people.

It was like making knives and shaving noodles, and as the broken military camp continued to attack, the Goguryeo warriors were like the dough that was constantly being shaved off.

And in this frantic battle, from time to time, the cavalry of the broken barracks was stabbed off their horses with spears by the opponent, and then several infantry swarmed up and killed them.

It was like a gust of wind, whistling, and the next moment, the Goguryeo people suddenly found that the cavalry of the Sui army had gone away again. Before they could figure out what was going on, the Sui army in the distance quickly reformed an array, whistling and replacing with bows and arrows, and the rain of arrows whistling from the sky once again nailed deeply to the soldiers without shields, and in the howling, the infantry phalanx of Goguryeo was constantly shrinking and chaotic.

Then the cavalry of the Sui army once again began to charge, and like a nightmare, the spear array they had already prepared did not have the slightest effect. I could only watch the opposing cavalry continue to wander outside the formation, taking away lives one by one.

The Goguryeo people didn't expect this Sui army to be so powerful, and the Goguryeo commander Gao Qi, who was sitting on a war horse, looked at everything in front of him with some panic, and when he heard that the three thousand cavalry of the Sui army were coming to fight, he thought that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to eat this cavalry. But now it seems that if this continues, they will be the ones who will be eaten.
