"This battle will be a key battle for us to establish our country in Annan County." Wang Junlin thought to himself. He knew that if he won this battle, the Goguryeo army would not and would not dare to send troops to Annan County for several years.
On the contrary, if they were defeated and his 10,000-strong army suffered heavy losses, their vitality would be severely damaged. The Annan Kingdom and Goguryeo he established would definitely be in constant war.
Moreover, Silla Kingdom and Baekje Kingdom will also have dissent. After all, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty has returned with a defeat of one million troops. This has greatly reduced the image and prestige of the Sui Dynasty in vassal states such as Silla Kingdom and Baekje Kingdom.
, has long lost its original influence.
…………
…………
Wang Junlin had already arranged the tactics, with the 11,000 cavalry he brought as the core, with 30,000 cavalry each from Silla and Baekje as the two wings, and the 3,000 cavalry led by Lieutenant Chi Jingde and Luo Shixin, Li
Xuanba each had a thousand cavalry gathered in the middle, and on both sides of them were nearly 6,000 Sui army cavalry gathered by the two young men earlier.
As the horn sounded through the mouth of Sanyang Valley, Yuchi Jingde led 3,000 cavalry, Luo Shixin, and Li Xuanba each had 1,000 cavalry, totaling 5,000 Wang Junlin's direct cavalry, forming a long formation of 200, with each row of 20
Five people, the spears and sabers erected on the array shined silver in the sun.
Each of the three rows is a combat unit. The first two rows wear scale armor and use one-foot-four-foot spears. The third row uses thickened and widened one-handed waist knives. Everyone wears chain armor with medium defense and light weight.
, the cavalry in the same row are only three feet apart from each other, the companies are two steps apart, and the front and rear rows are seven steps apart.
The 6,000 Sui army's ordinary cavalry on both sides still used their own cavalry tactics to kill the enemy, and the Silla and Baekje cavalry on both sides also had their own riding tactics.
Wang Junlin did not personally lead the charge. He was still responsible for commanding and dispatching the entire field from a higher position at the back.
Yuchi Jingde was responsible for the unified command of the front line. At this time, Yuchi Jingde came ten steps in front of the formation and looked at the Goguryeo army arrayed opposite. He did not need to say anything about mobilization. For more than ten days, he had been chased by the Goguryeo people, so that the entire army
He was full of energy from top to bottom, and his fighting spirit was already overwhelming.
Both sides have excellent war horses, but the condition of the Goguryeo army's war horses is obviously not good. This is a sign that they have not rested well all the way.
The horses on both sides felt the atmosphere of the battlefield, and began to dig the ground with their front hooves violently, snoring and shaking their heads from side to side.
At this point, the two sides began a brief confrontation.
The generals on both sides used this time to observe the enemy opposite them, while the soldiers took the time to complete the final preparations for the battle.
Wang Junlin observed with a telescope for a while, and found that the nearly 50,000 Goguryeo cavalry were the direct descendants of Yuan Taizuo, and they showed an "elite" aura. Because Wang Junlin knew that only the truly elite cavalry had experienced hundreds of battles.
, no matter what kind of opponent you face, you can remain calm and unhurried.
Shen Guoer stood next to Wang Junlin and looked up at the sky. The sky was gloomy above her head. There was no wind in the air. She seemed to realize just now how hot the weather was and what Wang Junlin had found for her.
Although the precious rhinoceros armor was not as heavy as the soldiers' armor, it was far less comfortable than silk dresses. She couldn't help but wipe the sweat from her forehead.
Although Shen Guoer had great martial arts skills and was protected by a small silver snake, this was the first time that both sides faced a battle with more than 100,000 cavalry in total. She knew that on such a battlefield, personal force was very small, so she had to be cautious.
In fact, at this moment, Shen Guoer actually found that she was a little nervous. Little did she know that Wang Junlin had already rated her performance very highly. Since ancient times, people who have not been in war have never been on the battlefield before. At that moment, there were many people showing their ugly faces, including many famous ministers and military officers who have been famous for thousands of years, not to mention that Shen Guoer was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
Shen Guoer took a deep breath, forced down the tension in her heart, and looked towards Wang Junlin's central army flag. His command system consisted of four chariots and dozens of riders and messengers with various flags. .It took a lot of trouble to transport these things here from the naval warships waiting for them on the northern coast. In addition to the five-color flags for commanding the battle, there were also several large drums, as well as buttons, horns and other objects-these were all Symbolizes command authority on the battlefield.
At this time, Wang Junlin was wearing a fine steel armor, standing on a chariot, pursed his lips, and observing the situation on the other side intently.
Shen Guoer knew that this piece of fine steel armor was made for Wang Junlin by his master Nie Xiaoyu himself. Wang Junlin had never worn it before, but now he was wearing it.
If an ordinary person cuts this piece of armor with an ordinary sword, it will only leave a mark. And the most valuable thing is that this armor is lighter than ordinary chain armor. This kind of armor can actually be called Priceless treasure.
Wang Junlin took a telescope and carefully looked at the entire Goguryeo cavalry formation. He hoped to find a flaw in the Goguryeo cavalry formation, but failed. The other party's soldiers were also experienced in fighting, and although Yuan Taizuo was the prime minister of Goguryeo, , was a civil servant, but he had already proven that he was quite good at commanding troops to fight and arranging troops as early as when he fought with the main force of the Sui army in the west led by Yang Guang.
"In that case, let's fight head-on first!" Suddenly, Wang Junlin spat out these five words fiercely, "Instruct Yuchi Jingde to lead his three thousand troops to charge against Goguryeo's front and tear apart the enemy army!" Since there is no weakness in the enemy's force, it is natural to attack the front.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Guoer saw several big flags waved forward, the sound of drums and horns suddenly sounded together, and his ears were filled with a deafening "dong dong dong dong..." …” The sound of “Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove.
"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" Yuchi Jingde and his three thousand men and horses shouted three times in unison, and then rushed towards the Goguryeo army like giant pythons.
For a moment, Shen Guoer held her breath.
Shen Guoer saw thousands of Goguryeo cavalry coming towards them with chaotic killing sounds. When they were a hundred paces away, he drew his bow and fired at the first few rows of Yuchi Jingde's group. However, all of Yuchi Jingde's cavalry were wearing fine armor. , even their faces are covered, only a pair of eyes are exposed, and even the vital points where they sit on their horses are protected by thin iron armor. Although they do not have the weight of heavy cavalry, they have the protective capabilities of heavy cavalry.
So when the Goguryeo people's bows and arrows hit the cavalry at the front, they fell down like straw.
