On this battlefield, the Tang army saw no allies and no so-called morality and righteousness.
Anyone who does not fight for our Tang Dynasty will be our enemy.
Whether it's Japan or Silla, if you don't choose to take sides, I, the Tang Dynasty, will help you choose.
Die by the sword of the Goguryeo army, or die by the sword of the Tang army, or... live towards death.
The fifty thousand foreign troops were like a herd of ownerless cattle and sheep, driven forward in formation by the Tang army.
More than 10,000 Tang troops held guns to suppress the left and right flanks. However, their guns were not aimed at the front, but at the Japanese soldiers in the Chinese formation.
The Japanese soldiers held swords, halberds and shields, and there was a phalanx of bows and arrows in the rear. It seemed that this was a fully equipped army, no different from other armies in the world.
The only thing they lack is courage and morale.
Driven by the Tang army, the team advanced slowly, and cries and howls were heard from the crowd from time to time, which was the fear of impending death.
The Tang troops on the left and right flanks looked at them expressionlessly, with contempt flashing in their eyes from time to time, but the muzzles of their guns were still firmly pointed at them.
Li Qinzai was riding on a horse, standing at the rear of the army. Next to him was Jin Yuxin, who looked full of anger, and several members of the Li family who were eyeing him covetously.
Looking at the slowly advancing Chinese army formation, Li Qinzai smiled with satisfaction.
"That's right, I finally have some allied temperament..." Li Qinzai murmured.
Jin Yuxin was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but said: "Having blackmailed the Allied commander, coercing the Allied troops into war, such a huge crime, will the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty really not be able to hold him accountable?"
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "That happened after the war. What I need is victory in the war. As long as I win, any sin will be a small sin."
Jin Yuxin said angrily: "We, the Silla Kingdom, will not expose this matter easily. Regardless of victory or defeat, after the war, I will go to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty in person to impeach you in front of the emperor. I don't believe that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will do anything for you."
They ignore justice and morality and destroy the friendship between neighboring countries."
Li Qinzai blinked: "Hurry and go to the impeachment. Do you want to write the memorial now? I'll have someone prepare paper and ink for you."
Jin Yuxin was furious: "You are really...lawless! You brought 50,000 innocent people with no fighting spirit to the battlefield. What's the use of confronting the enemy? A collapse at the first touch is still a big defeat, and you lost these soldiers and horses in vain!"
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "I didn't expect them to win, but I can still do basic arithmetic problems. The enemy has 40,000 troops, and you have 50,000 against 40,000. Even if you exchange two for one, you can still consume the enemy's troops.
Half, it will be much easier for me, the soldiers of the Tang Army, to deal with the remaining half."
Jin Yuxin said angrily: "You actually have such an idea. How can there be such a ruthless, shameless person like you in the world! Have the lives of our Silla soldiers been ruined in vain?"
Li Qinzai looked up at the sky and murmured: "I am a little unhappy because of such unpleasant words. I really want to kill a prime minister to sacrifice to heaven..."
Jin Yuxin was horrified, and looked at the surrounding Li family members with their right hands pressing their swords and staring at him with unkind eyes. Jin Yuxin immediately realized his situation and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Li Shuai, the last general spoke too loudly just now, please
You must forgive my rudeness!"
"Hey, that's right. Regardless of the Japanese or Silla kingdom, it's not you who died anyway. Why are you so angry? Even if all the Silla soldiers are dead, you can put all the blame on me when you return to Silla.
And you are still the same prime minister as before, without any change."
"...By the way, what is the official title of the prime minister of your Silla Kingdom? 'Tall and superior', right? Tsk, how shameless, how can anyone praise themselves so much..."
Jin Yuxin didn't dare to speak loudly, but he couldn't help but corrected him: "It's 'Advanced University'."
Li Qinzai put on a fake smile.
It doesn't matter how ugly your country's official positions are, anyway, it won't be long before your country is subjugated.
A scout hurried over on horseback. After dismounting, he ran to Li Qinzai and reported: "Li Shuai, 40,000 Goguryeo troops have already set out. They are about twenty miles away. In half an hour, the enemy's forward will arrive."
Li Qinzai's face darkened and he said, "Let's explore again!"
The scout saluted and left.
The summer wind blows on the face like waves of heat, making it sticky and uncomfortable.
Li Qinzai sighed and said: "Another fierce battle..."
…………
Goguryeo's 40,000 troops came with great momentum. Of course, it is appropriate to say that they were frustrated.
Although Li Qinzai and Li Ji have not yet joined forces, Goguryeo has actually fallen into a dilemma of fighting on the north and south fronts.
Li Ji's main army advanced steadily and had conquered nearly twenty cities in Goguryeo. Goguryeo was busy dealing with Li Ji in the north, and most of the country's troops were transferred to the north to resist. Goguryeo was really powerless with Li Qinzai's troops in the south.
Therefore, there was a magical operation of sending 30,000 troops in advance and another 40,000 troops. The capital of Pyongyang must retain more than 100,000 garrison troops. There are not many troops that can be used to deal with Li Qinzai.
Forty thousand enemy troops arrived at the Songshan Gang Plain and immediately set up their positions.
The military formations in the world are generally similar, and the same is true for Goguryeo's 40,000 soldiers and horses.
The shield array was in front, the bows and arrows were behind, the spears were behind, and there were even thousands of cavalry on the left and right wings.
Goguryeo is a mountainous country, and it is difficult for mules and horses to travel, but Goguryeo's horse administration is very developed. The horse they ride is called "Guoxiama", which is probably a cross between the same breed of Mongolian horses. It is short in shape, but powerful and agile.
Suitable for walking in the mountains and can also be used in the military.
It has to be said that the fighting quality of the Goguryeo army is really good. In just one stick of incense, the formation of the 40,000-strong army has basically taken shape, and the horses on both wings are constantly cruising around the edge of the formation, ready to move.
As the war drums rumbled, the Chinese army formation also mobilized. Following the rhythm of the drums, the army slowly advanced towards the Tang army.
The Japanese soldiers in the middle of the battlefield became more and more panicked, with cries and roars coming one after another. There were still some lucky people who tried to escape. After being suppressed by the Tang army soldiers, who shot dozens of them in rows, the Chinese army was temporarily defeated.
Stabilized the position.
In front of the Chinese army formation, Liu Renyuan drew his horizontal sword and shouted: "Shield formation, defend!"
There was a loud noise, and the shields of the front line immediately blocked the front, and the defense was tight.
The artillerymen of the Tang army on the left and right wings finally turned their guns and pointed them at the advancing Goguryeo army.
When the enemy's forward had entered the 200-step shooting range, the general of the Tang army gave an order, and the three-eyed muskets on both wings opened fire first.
There was still a loud noise, and there was still a crowd of people falling on their backs. The enemy soldiers who fell to the ground were mercilessly trampled by the robes in the back row. A large piece of the enemy's front row was missing, and then they were quickly replaced by the people in the back row, and continued.
Advance.
The Japanese soldiers in the center of the formation were driven away by the Tang army in the rear, and they were thrown into the sky. The Japanese soldiers were so frightened that they neither dared to escape nor to charge.
Both advance and retreat were dead ends. The Japanese soldiers in the front row were so frightened that they decided to make up their mind. After roaring with anger and anger, they finally found the courage to risk their lives, picked up their swords and halberds and rushed towards the enemy.
The Japanese soldiers had no choice but to burst out with courage, and the situation on the battlefield changed subtly.
Under the volleys of three-eyed muskets, the Goguryeo army advanced fearlessly, while the Japanese soldiers also began to charge in a decent formation, and the forwards of the two armies were getting closer and closer to each other.
Only then did the battlefield truly have the momentum of a confrontation between the two armies.
It's just that while charging, the Japanese soldiers roared with fear and despair, and hysteria occurred one after another, which inevitably made people feel weird, just like the unwilling and frightened screams of a group of kidnapped butchers before they died.
In the rear army formation, Li Qinzai saw everything and turned to Jin Yuxin in surprise: "Can't you see that you Silla soldiers are still very brave?"
After saying that, Li Qinzai observed carefully for a long time, and finally he hooked Jin Yuxin's shoulders with sincerity and sighed: "You...you have something!"
Jin Yuxin's cheek twitched a few times. Doesn't he know better than others what kind of virtue the soldiers under his command have?
How can these guys have any courage? They clearly have a knife on their necks. If they advance, they will die, and if they retreat, they will die. So let's fight.
He knew what was going on, but Jin Yuxin still had the courage to save face for Silla Kingdom.
"That's right, the warriors of our Silla Kingdom have always been brave. One is worth ten, just for the sake of your business!"
Li Qinzai was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed: "Come here, pass the order, the Silla army officers and soldiers will be the main attack, and everyone will launch a suicide charge against the enemy!"
