The ground beneath Li Hongchao's feet was trembling, and Li Hongchao's heart was also trembling.
Qian Xilong, a shameless scumbag, actually took refuge in Goryeo, which really disgraced Daqi!
"Captain, the people from Korea are coming to kill..." The general pointed at the rising smoke and the rolling torrent in the distance on the right wing, and shouted loudly. The roar was mixed with fear and panic.
The prince's army and the tens of thousands of troops were in chaos.
They were completely unprepared and had no preset defensive formations. Throughout the morning and afternoon, they attacked the south gate unscrupulously. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties and were very tired. Li Hongchao had just given the order to ring gold, and everyone was waiting to rest.
For a while. Who would have thought that the Koreans would suddenly attack Pyongyang City?
"Order Liang Guohua and Ma Shuangjun to immediately lead the cavalry to meet them." Li Hongchao pointed to the messenger and said, "On the left and right wings, and at the east and west gates, we must stop the enemy cavalry at all costs."
"Order Yang Chengqiu and Zhao Xing to assemble the troops. Immediately assemble the troops and form defensive formations. Ask Li Jinzhong to lead the infantry archers to retreat..."
After Li Hongchao issued a series of orders, he looked at the flag flying high on the tower of Pyongyang and suddenly felt a sincere irritation. Damn it, damn the Korean dog——
Not long after, the cavalry of the two armies collided. How could the Qi army, which numbered only ten thousand people, be an opponent of the Goryeo cavalry, which was five times larger than itself and had no calculations? In just two or three quarters of an hour, a small group of Goryeo cavalry penetrated out.
After the formation of the Qi cavalry, less than half an hour later, the Qi cavalry on the left and right wings were completely defeated.
Before that, waves of Goryeo cavalry had already rushed towards the main force of the Qi army's infantry.
The Koryo people knew that they could not delay the Qi Army cavalry on the left and right for too long, otherwise the integration of the main Qi Army infantry force of 70,000 to 80,000 people would be enough to completely defeat the Koryo Kingdom's first step. What is especially scary is that
, Will Wang You let the Qi army enter the city at a critical moment?
Therefore, the Goryeo cavalry that broke out of the Qi Army's cavalry defense line merged for a while and then rushed towards the Qi Army's infantry array.
Li Jinzhong raised his arms and shouted wildly: "Let... let go..."
In front of and behind the formation, dozens of flags waved in the air.
Two huge phalanxes, with more than 10,000 archers, raised their bows and fired arrows almost at the same time.
In an instant, the arrows were like rain, the arrows were like locusts, and the sky became dark.
The Goryeo cavalry rushed over. They saw arrows whizzing from the sky. They immediately raised the shields in their hands. The shields were raised, and the arrows arrived. With the dull sound of arrows entering their bodies, the horses neighed miserably, and the Goryeo soldiers mourned.
Howl, people and animals were hit by arrows one after another. But more cavalry rushed through the blockade of arrow rain.
"Boom...boom..."
The morale of the ambitious Goryeo cavalry was extremely high. The ambition stimulated them all to be as excited as chicken blood. One by one, they jumped up on their horses and flew towards the Qi army's shield wall with a bloody mouth. Spears came out of the formation.
Suddenly rushed out, wiping out every living life without mercy, blood burst out. Rushing into the formation, collision, death. Countless Goryeo cavalry rushed out of the arrow formation. They were full of blood and fearless
Death, riding his horse, collided with the Qi army's phalanx. Like a group of wild wolves with red eyes, surrounding the huge prey, they began to attack and tear apart. Behind them, there was a mess of bloody human and animal remains.
The sound of killing shook the sky. The sound of war drums soared into the sky, shaking the sky.
Li Hongchao deployed three layers of giant shields and spears in a short period of time, but after dozens of rounds of collisions, they were also severely damaged, with very few survivors. Although the crossbowmen in the Qi army's formation were shooting wildly.
A large number of Korean cavalry were killed and wounded, but the Korean cavalry showed no fear and continued to attack as before.
The horns sounded one after another, and the Goryeo cavalry began a new round of charge. They gathered hundreds of horses as the pioneers, concentrated on several attack points, and struck continuously.
"Boom...boom..." the sound was endless and terrifying.
The phalanx commanded by Zhao Xing was the first to be broken through. Dozens of giant shields were all shattered, and the Korean cavalry swarmed in. Zhao Xing, who had no way to retreat, could only muster the courage to bring spears and swords, and swordsmen and axe-hands with bows and arrows.
Under the cover of the crossbowmen, they bravely faced him.
Although he was killed by Wang Kui with two axes and fled, Zhao Xing's martial arts skills were still much better than those of ordinary soldiers. He raised his hand and shot a cavalryman away, and then shot a lowhand shot to burn off the horse's legs.
A collision of flesh and blood.
The high-morale Goryeo cavalry were not afraid of life and death. They struck repeatedly and Zhao Xing's men suffered heavy losses. On the frontal defensive position of the phalanx, there was no trace of the giant shield. The broken fragments, together with the dead soldiers and horses of both sides, were
The wreckage covered the entire battle zone. As far as the eye could see, there were all bloody corpses and swords, spears and arrows stuck in the corpses. The rich smell of blood stimulated Zhao Xing's blood.
It would be better to die here than in Pyongyang City. At least I died fighting against foreign regrets.
"General, the Korean dog rushed in again..." a soldier screamed.
Zhao Xing stood with his head held high, full of murderous intent. He looked with disdain at the Goryeo cavalry charging towards them with their claws and teeth. He replaced the spear in his hand with a machete, raised the knife and roared: "Brothers, kill..."
Zhao Xing held up a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and ran towards the Koreans. A group of swordsmen and axemen behind him also looked angry. They followed Zhao Xing, each raising their weapons, shouting at the top of their lungs, and a batch of long arrows.
It passed over Yan Liang's head, roared loudly, and shot at the approaching enemies.
The horse arrived. The spear rushed towards him. Zhao Xing roared, jumped up, and raised his knife to chop at the enemy's horse head. The war horse was wounded and let out a painful hiss, and its huge body flew more than ten steps away with the inertia.
The cavalry on horseback was thrown into the air and was chopped into several pieces by swords and iron axes before they landed.
Zhao Xing was galloping in the formation, shouting and slashing, like an angry tiger, invincible and invincible.
Li Hongchao breathed a long sigh of relief. Zhao Xing was not completely useless, and his performance at this time was much more courageous than before.
The flying drumsticks hit the war drum like raindrops, and the sound was rapid and wild.
Wang You stood on the North Tower and saw the Goryeo army approaching outside the city. This was an infantry group of more than 100,000 people!
Huang Yue pointed at the formation of the Goryeo army and said: "Sir, look, that is the battle flag of the Gaisu family. The Goryeo people have been planning this for a long time!"
And Wang You even saw the big general flag with the word "Qian" next to Gaisu's flag.
——Qian Xilong!
"How is the situation at the south gate? Has Li Hongchao stabilized the situation?"
"The detailed report hasn't been sent yet. It was previously reported that Li Hongchao's situation is not good." Huang Yue's face was gloomy, and he didn't know how to express his emotions at this moment.
Li Hongchao suffered a loss. He may suffer even greater losses in the future. But he was not happy at all! Compared with the unfavorable situation of the Prince's Army, Huang Yue was more willing to see Li Hongchao command the army to give the Korean dog a blow in the head, and then invade the country in one fell swoop.
All the Goryeo troops were killed and wiped out, including that scum Qian Xilong!
"Gather the troops and open the city gate——"
The decision was finally made at this moment. Wang You clenched his fists, and the brothers fought against the wall to resist their insults.
Huang Yue bit his lip. He was not surprised by Wang You's decision, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Seeing Huang Yue's appearance, Wang You smiled slightly, pointed to the blue sky above his head and said: "This is our territory of Daqi. Any foreigner who dares to trample on this land is our mortal enemy. When facing the enemy of life and death,
As a people of Daqi, we should forget the previous internal fighting and use our swords to kill the enemy and serve the country with our lives."
After getting off the city wall, Wang You galloped his horse on the school field inside Wengcheng. Thirteen hundred soldiers lined up in the open space, waiting for the order to attack.
Wang You saw Huang Yue arrayed in front of the formation. This general, the leader of the army, who rushed out from the battlefield of the decisive battle in Zhoucheng, was obviously unwilling to stay in the city and coexist with the previous enemies.
Huang Yue smiled at him, bowed with his fists on his horse, and said in a calm tone: "I am willing to fight to the death with you."
Wang You saw Wang Kuai, the south gate had been opened, and the prince's army was entering the city. At the critical moment, Wang You made the most troublesome decision for the Goryeo army. Wang Kuai's face showed a murderous look. He raised his sword to the sky and shouted: "
I am willing to fight to the death with you!"
Staying in the city and watching the prince's army slowly enter the city to survive, in Wang Kuai's eyes, it was just a matter of course.
"Today the battlefield is stained with blood. I will bear in mind my death, and all the kings will follow me. Wang You will die without regrets!"
Suddenly, the war drums sounded, and the soldiers in formation raised their weapons and shouted loudly: "I will follow you to the death—"
The sound shook the sky and penetrated the clouds and cracked rocks.
Wang You's eyes flashed across the faces, his eyes turned red, and he burst into tears.
Of the 1,300 people, only about 500 are old soldiers in the county, and the rest are all barbarians. The former can be said to be loyal to the country, while the latter, like the more than 1,000 corpses left at the south gate, are all barbarians.
How could Wang You not shed tears when he died for himself?
The team formed a single file, and Wang You rode his horse to the end of the queue. The city gate slowly opened.
Raising his right arm high, Wang You roared loudly: "Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy..."
The soldiers also saw the city gate opening. They were all fearless and excited, and responded in unison: "Follow me to kill the enemy..."
Wang You looked up at the sky and shouted hoarsely: "Kill the enemy..."
"Kill the enemy..." The roar was like thunder, soaring into the sky.
The city gate is wide open.
The entourage handed a halberd to Wang You. As a hero who came out of Jixia Academy in Zibo, Qidu, Wang You was not only good at writing, but also good at martial arts.
He struggled to hold on to the horse's reins. When the war horse felt pain, it immediately raised its head and raised its legs almost upright with a long neigh. Wang You, who was on horseback, raised his halberd high, looked back and shouted wildly: "Brothers, kill..."
"Kill..." Everyone raised their weapons and shouted wildly.
Immediately, Wang You took the lead and rushed out of the city gate.
Thirteen hundred people followed closely behind, and the three hundred cavalrymen at the head galloped on their horses one by one, shooting out of Pyongyang like a long arrow that was separated from the string.
The wind whistled in his ears, and the earth flew before his eyes. Wang You was determined and determined, and his whole body was filled with infinite power. He looked at the approaching Goryeo army, raised his halberd and shouted wildly.
In a short period of time, three hundred knights lined up in three columns, one hundred knights in a column, and galloped side by side.
Looking at the enemy getting closer and closer, everyone's hearts are boiling with passion and fighting spirit.
The passionate war drums roared fiercely on the battlefield, and the steadily retreating horns sounded shrilly on the battlefield.
The Goryeo cavalry was still tightly entangled with the Qi infantry. Both armies were furious and fought fiercely. Each one of them took the lead bravely and was not afraid of death.
Zhao Xing's axemen in the formation suffered serious losses, and some crossbowmen picked up axes and spears. In such a crisscrossed battle formation, the power of the crossbows, which could only shoot flatly, was greatly reduced. The situation was critical, and the crossbowmen still
They picked up their swords and spears and bravely charged forward under the leadership of the officers. The cavalry hit the infantry formation like a flood, stabbing each other with swords and spears, and flying arrows, eroding the foundation of the infantry formation bit by bit. Zhao Xing led the troops to meet him.
In the most critical frontal center.
Dozens of angry horses came galloping towards him, and the knight on the horse raised his two-foot spear at an angle and struck like lightning.
"Lance, spear, kill me..." Zhao Xing's voice was hoarse. He raised his spear and ran wildly, while still shouting wildly. Hundreds of soldiers were close to him, raising their spears, and a small gun.
Forests formed quickly.
Five or six spears were inserted into the body of the leading war horse at the same time. The war horse was so powerful and heavy that the two pikemen were unable to dodge and died on the spot. The Korean cavalry on the horse galloped with the help of the war horse.
With the huge inertia, the moment his body flew into the air, he threw the spear in his hand with all his strength, driving a spearman alive and nailing him to the ground. Then the Korean cavalry continued to bump into them, some were hacked to death with random knives, and some were stabbed to death by long swords.
The spear was pierced, and more than 70% of the hundreds of soldiers arrayed with Zhao Xing were killed or injured!
Wave after wave of Goryeo cavalry came, but Zhao Xing finally couldn't hold on anymore. All his soldiers were killed and wounded. He was knocked upside down by a horse and vomited blood. With golden flowers in his eyes, he
He climbed up from the ground with difficulty, then randomly grabbed a tomahawk on the ground, and stumbled forward again.
The sword of the Goryeo cavalry hit Zhao Xing's shoulder, but it was blocked by the armor. Zhao Xing's ax split open the head of the Goryeo cavalry without hesitation. Then, several long arrows roared towards him, and they all penetrated into Zhao Xing's body.
Zhao Xing, whose body was shaken several times and who had hit seven arrows in a row, took a step back. He looked at the three Koryo soldiers rushing towards him with blurred vision, murmured a curse, and fell to the ground.
…
Gesuwen's infantry was already very close to Pyongyang City. His 30,000 front troops could reach the north gate of Pyongyang City in a quarter of an hour at most. The 120,000 middle and rear troops were also advancing rapidly.
Capture the city of Pyongyang and annihilate Li Hongchao. Thinking of the ambition in his heart, even Gaisuwen himself could hardly control himself.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Goryeo Army suddenly let out a scream. They saw a group of cavalry rushing out of Pyongyang City. This group of cavalry held high the banner of the Qi Army and ran towards them at lightning speed.
The alarm horn blew rapidly.
The former general immediately ordered the army to stop advancing, wait in formation, and prepare for battle.
After hearing the alarm drum, Gesuwen hurriedly led a group of attendants to the nearby high ground and looked north.
"Wang You, he is indeed like this." Ge Suwen shook his head repeatedly, pointed his riding whip at the cavalry galloping ahead, and lamented to his subordinates.
