Outside Sixian City, shouts of death shook the sky.
The Baekje people came from all over the mountains and plains brandishing various weapons, and formed an array not far from the Tang army.
The Tang army formed in front, and the Japanese surrender troops were on both sides.
The Baekje frontier troops returned. Because the Tang army had won many battles before, everyone at the top and bottom had the intention of underestimating the enemy. Du Fuwei did not withdraw his troops to join the Tang army in the north, but chose to wait for the arrival of the enemy outside Sixi City.
.
At this time, the weather on the peninsula was already very cold. There had been a light snowfall a few days ago. The Tang army was not short of supplies. The Tang army from Hebei were all northern soldiers and were not afraid of the cold. However, the combat effectiveness of the navy soldiers brought ashore was even better.
Big discount.
The Baekje people were on the verge of annihilation. The various tribes and city-states put aside their prejudices, united together, and launched a fierce attack on the Tang army that attacked Sixian City.
………………
"The Baekje people are here to die, so let's give them a ride."
Du Fuwei was boosting morale. His image was not very good and he was covered in dirt. As the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army, he did not show any intention to show off his armor. He was waving a knife, just like when he was roaming the mountains and fields, and his words were rough.
Full of gangsterism.
Several captains gathered around him, Du Fuwei's eyes swept over them one by one. Several navy captains were not calm, which is understandable because there were too many enemies.
After they surrounded Sixian City, they had repelled dozens of enemy troops who came for reinforcements in a few days. The enemies seemed to come in endless streams. Today, the Baekje army finally arrived at Sixian City one after another.
They did not immediately attack the Tang army like those before, but waited for the reinforcements from all walks of life to gather them together before coming to fight the Tang army.
The Baekje people went completely crazy, and more and more people came to help. It is conceivable that the cities that the Tang army had captured before were probably lost.
The Baekje people who surrendered were no longer reliable, so yesterday Du Fuwei ordered people to kill all the thousands of Baekje prisoners who had surrendered. These people were originally selected to attack the city...
The situation of the Tang army suddenly became dangerous. During the decisive battle, several navy generals clearly showed some fear.
In stark contrast to them were the two captains from Hebei. Their expressions were motionless and expressionless, like two sculptures. However, their eyes had become more terrifying and dangerous, and there was also a faint hint of danger in their eyes.
Bloodshot.
Du Fuwei looked at them and sighed inwardly, is this what the emperor used to pacify the world as an elite division? Sure enough, it is well-deserved...
Nothing happened on the water, only Liu Rengui showed some majesty, but the battle damage was much greater than that of the navy. But once on land, the fighting power of these elites became terrifying.
Attacking cities and clashing with enemy formations, murderous intent filled the fields with unrelenting force.
It was precisely because of them that Du Fuwei dared to attack Baekje King Buyeo Chang, and dared to wait for the arrival of reinforcements from all walks of life under the Baekje people's royal city.
Now it seems that his adventure has put the entire army in danger, but he has not lost confidence. The most important thing is that these people are here. As for his navy subordinates, there is no problem with their loyalty, but they are really difficult to fight a tough battle.
Not very reliable.
"Go back and lead the troops. Tell everyone that after this battle, there will be no Baekje in the world. The destruction of the country is ahead, and everyone will take care of it."
A Hebei captain looked at Du Fuwei and admired him very much. He was a great victory in both naval battles. He was also very courageous after landing. He was truly a hero.
"Your Highness, when our army is in battle, it is rare that we cannot get out. There are not many enemies coming, and they come from a long way. It is time to weaken their edge. If Your Highness thinks what I say is reasonable, I am willing to lead the army and be the vanguard of the army.
One battle will determine the outcome."
This man's name is Wang Renyuan, a native of Pingyao. He is a veteran in the army and has been in the army for more than ten years. However, he submitted his service a little late, and now he has earned the position of captain because of his merits.
Listening to this man's words, you can tell that he is not a simple martial artist, which is indeed the case. This man used to be a scholar, and his ancestral home is Shangdang, a common people.
Back then, Li Shentong led his army and was defeated in a battle. They were all surrendered, and many of them were left behind in Pingyao.
Nowadays, such people are not uncommon among the Tang army. Pingyao soldiers only participated in the war for a short period of time, but they can be found everywhere in the army.
Du Fuwei laughed loudly, "If that's the case, then let's go for it. The heavy snow is coming. If we can't make a quick decision and enter the city to rest, we will have to return to the sea in despair. I
I don’t want to, what about you?”
Several captains immediately hammered their breastplates and cheered loudly.
………………
The Baekje people have gathered between 50,000 and 60,000 people in the past few days. There is a huge disparity in military strength between the two sides. Du Fuwei only brought 2,000 Tang troops with him. By this time, there were only more than 1,500 people left, and the rest were surrendered by the Japanese.
The army is unreliable and may surrender to the enemy in front of the battle line.
The Baekje people also felt that they had a chance to win. After a moment of formation, the Baekje people in front of the formation broke out with a burst of howling and rushed out. At this time, their rear formation had not even formed their formation, and they scattered instantly.
Some people followed those in front and rushed forward, while others were still slowly forming up under the restraints of the leaders, and even the cunning ones wanted to conserve their strength and deliberately shrank back.
More than a hundred years of internal strife have divided the Baekje people into countless forces, large and small. Even if they unite in times of crisis, it is still difficult to truly face difficulties together.
The two royal families and several big nobles who had withdrawn to lead everyone could not convince everyone in their haste.
The battle in Sixi City began in such a chaotic manner.
………………
The war drums of the Tang army rumbled, and the Tang army formed a solemn formation and marched forward.
Being at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, they did not choose to stand firm, but decided to fight head-on with the Baekje people.
This was obviously beyond the expectations of the Baekje people, but it didn't matter. The Baekje people were full of confidence, and they loved such hand-to-hand combat scenes the most.
If it were a Central Plains general who led the army, and they had such an advantage in numbers, they would definitely be surrounded on all sides. But the Baekje people didn't care about so many people. Not surprisingly, they chose the most direct method and collided head-on with the Tang army.
This is the most brutal contest. Who has more people, who is more organized, and who has more courage and courage are all factors that determine the outcome.
………………
The first to rush forward were dozens of cavalry.
There are not many war horses on the peninsula. Those who can fight on horseback are either nobles or brave men with names. Most of the nobles will not rush in front, so these big and round cavalry are brave people.
They wore simple armors, well, they were all kinds of animal skins, and they wielded heavy weapons. They had a barbaric and primitive atmosphere all over their bodies, but the war horses were a little shorter, which looked a little funny.
The Baekje people obviously used them as heavy cavalry.
"Shoot them down, shoot them down."
Cavalry is always the nemesis of infantry, and it is they who must be dealt with first.
Arrows were shot from the Tang army's formation. There were not many bows and arrows they brought with them, so they were sparse and out of scale. However, dozens of cavalrymen still screamed and fell off their horses.
The remaining dozen were thrown to the ground by the Tang army with short spears at a distance of more than twenty steps.
The Tang army continued to move forward and finally collided with the Baekje people.
The cry of killing rose into the sky, the clash of weapons and the scream of death were mixed together, adding to the momentum, and at the same time, a large amount of blood spurted out.
The most powerful thing about the Tang army was their strict military formation and their skillful cooperation. The military formation surged with swords raised and swung down. The Baekje people who rushed in front of the Tang army's formation screamed and fell to the ground.
Arrows were flying over people's heads. It was not as large as during the Civil War in the Central Plains. The Tang army had few arrows, and the Baekje people were not good at it. During the shooting, some people on both sides screamed and were shot to the ground by the arrows. However,
It cannot create any deterrence or advantage.
The Tang army did not encounter the worst outcome. The Japanese on both sides of them were relatively safe, but they immediately formed a melee situation with the Baekje people, and gradually separated from the Tang army's army that was constantly moving forward.
The Tang army's flanks could no longer be protected.
The Tang army had so much combat experience that the first moment they sensed the danger, the officers led their troops forward quickly, not giving the Baekje people a chance to encircle them.
The chaotic Baekje people could not stop the Tang army's momentum.
Rows of ring-headed swords were raised and fell. No matter how brave the Baekje people were in this kind of group fighting, they could not stop the Tang army. Even for a moment, if a Tang army fell, someone would immediately step on the corpse of his comrade to make up for it.
Ensure the integrity of the formation.
As the two thousand Tang troops marched, their formation gradually turned into a cone of charge. Their murderous aura condensed and grew stronger and stronger. The surrounding shouts of killing, the swarming enemies, the wanton spraying of blood, and the constant disappearance of lives were all irritating.
Looking at these Tang army soldiers who had survived countless battles made them more and more excited.
The Baekje people were like waves hitting a rock. As soon as they touched, they were shattered into pieces. Almost no one could rush into the Tang army's formation. After fighting for only a moment, the Baekje people's momentum was contained.
The momentum of the Tang army was strong, and everyone moved forward with all their strength. The Baekje people in front of the battle were slaughtered to the ground like wheat, and the souls of the Baekje people who were killed were all gone.
At a certain moment, the Baekje people scattered suddenly, some turned and fled, and some avoided the front of the Tang army. The front of the Tang army's formation was instantly empty.
The Tang army suffocated visibly, and then burst out with a wild roar and rushed towards the Baekje central army.
If the three armies seize the commander, they will lose the momentum.
The so-called momentum is momentum. Once a soldier loses his will to fight, he will soon be defeated by capturing the flag and killing the general. The people of the Central Plains are very particular about this when fighting.
If the enemy's army is discouraged, they will definitely take advantage of the victory and move forward without giving the enemy a chance to regroup.
The Tang army immediately started running quickly, and several groups of Tang soldiers who had already been unable to restrain themselves left the formation and took the lead in fighting towards the enemy's center.
This is an old habit of the army in the Central Plains. They prepare men who dare to die in advance, and when they see an opportunity, they go to disrupt the enemy's central army and open the door to victory for the army.
The Baekje people are probably still debating who will come first at this time, and they are in a complete mess about the rhythm of the war...
