Three Kingdoms: I have a job transfer palace
Chapter 76
The messenger quickly reported the battle report to the commander of Goguryeo. He smiled disdainfully:"What's wrong with the west gate, south gate, and north gate being blocked?
As long as you cross the Mazhi River, you can follow the river bank, go all the way east, and return to Goguryeo.
When the time comes, , I only need to send a small number of troops to block the stone bridge, or destroy the stone bridge, and the Han army can only catch up."
Liu Feng asked the three armies to surround Anping City without attacking, and seemed to have missed the east gate.
The Goguryeo commander stood on the west gate wall and looked at the Han army outside the city with a calm expression.
Under his prior arrangements, the Goguryeo army has now retreated to the east gate in an orderly manner, passing through the stone bridge one after another.
In his opinion, the commander of the Han army surrounded and refused to attack, must be thinking of a strategy to attack the city. snort!
By the time you figure out how to attack the city, our army has safely retreated.
Just when he was complacent and thought that the commander of the Han Dynasty was nothing more than this.
A messenger rushed over and said urgently:"Commander, when our army was crossing the bridge, we were attacked by the Han army and suffered heavy losses."
"What?
The Goguryeo commander's expression changed,"How many people are there in the Han army?""
The messenger quickly replied:"Come back to the commander-in-chief, there are only 6,000 Han troops, but they are all crossbowmen.
They were lying in ambush on the other side, waiting for our 20,000 soldiers to cross the stone bridge before launching a surprise attack.
The other side of the stone bridge was flat and there was no shelter to hide from.
The lethality of its archers and crossbowmen was too powerful, and thousands of the 20,000 soldiers crossing the bridge were quickly killed.
The soldiers who were still on the stone bridge were unable to advance or retreat because of the narrow stone bridge.
Many were killed by the enemy, and many were trampled upon each other.
Many more fell off the stone bridge and fell into the Mazi water, where their life and death were unknown.
Now, our army is in chaos.
The Goguryeo commander said with a gloomy face:"Why don't our archers launch a counterattack?" The messenger smiled bitterly and said,"
Commander, we have launched a counterattack."
But the opponent is on the other side of the river, far beyond the range of our archers."
"hateful!"
The Goguryeo commander cursed angrily and glanced at the indifferent commander of the Han army outside the city. It turns out that this is your goal.
However, with only 6,000 people, you still want to stop my 100,000-strong army?
He said to the deputy general beside him:" The city has been covered with hay and kerosene. If the Han army attacks the city, a symbolic resistance will suffice.
Then he introduced it into the city and attacked it with fire, turning it into ashes along with Anping City."
The people in Anping City had already fled without a trace when they broke through.
Those who didn't have time to escape were massacred by them.
Now Anping City is full of Goguryeo troops.
"promise!"
The deputy general took the order.
The commander of Goguryeo looked at the commander of the Han army outside the city again and sneered.
"Commander, I'm waiting for you to attack the city."
Then he turned and left, deciding to personally command the army to cross the bridge.
I don't believe that there are only six thousand people. He could still turn the world upside down.
Seeing the Goguryeo commander leaving, Liu Feng said to the messenger beside him:"Send an order to the generals outside the North Gate and South Gate, and order them to lead the army and slowly approach the East Gate.
If any Goguryeo army wants to retreat to the north or south, they will be killed without mercy."
"promise!"
The messenger left quickly.
Then, Liu Feng also left slowly with three thousand Dragon City cavalry.
On the west gate wall, a trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the Goguryeo deputy general, but he didn't think much about it.
His mission was to guard Anping If there is a large army attacking the city, he will lead them into the city and burn them to death.
Since no one is attacking the city, he will naturally be happy and leisurely.
Outside the east gate of Anping City, the Goguryeo commander left the city and went to the Mazi River.
When he When they arrived at the stone bridge, almost half of the 20,000 troops on the other side had been killed.
They had not even come close to the 6,000 officers and soldiers. The overwhelming long arrows and the crossbow arrows that blocked the road ahead destroyed hundreds of steps around the stone bridge. It is a death area.
No matter whether they move forward, retreat, or escape to the left or right, they will definitely die.
"Cavalry, rush over to me."
The Goguryeo commander shouted angrily. As long as the cavalry is allowed to cross the stone bridge while the Han army's crossbowmen are fighting fiercely with the army on the other side of the river, the battle will be decided. The cavalry is the biggest nemesis of the crossbowmen.
The cavalry is too mobile. The speed is too fast.
The crossbowmen can fire only two rounds at most, and the cavalry can rush in front of them.
At that time, the crossbowmen were just fish and meat to be slaughtered.
"promise!"
The cavalry commander immediately led the cavalry onto the stone bridge and rushed to the other side at an extremely fast speed.
At this time, the stone bridge was almost blocked by the Goguryeo army that had crossed before. The Han army's crossbowmen wanted to attack the Goguryeo cavalry on the stone bridge. , we must first kill the Goguryeo army.
Although their lethality is terrifying, it will take some time to kill nearly 10,000 people.
This time is enough for the Goguryeo cavalry to pass the stone bridge.
The stupid Han army, if blocked Shooting on the stone bridge, maybe our army really can't pass through the stone bridge.
Now, you just wait to die.
The Goguryeo commander stood with his hands behind his hands, his face indifferent.
If you can swallow these six thousand crossbowmen, collect their equipment.
Especially Those three thousand crossbows were a powerful offensive weapon that Goguryeo did not have.
If we could bring Goguryeo back, what would it matter if tens of thousands of people died?
Under the cover of the Goguryeo army in front, more and more Goguryeo cavalry crossed the stone bridge, Charged towards the six thousand Han army crossbowmen.
This was not in Longcheng, where the terrain was narrow and one could only rush forward.
Here, the terrain was flat, and the cavalry tactics were better used.
They spread out in all directions. , circled to both sides of the six thousand crossbowmen at extremely fast speeds, and charged away.
If these six thousand crossbowmen turned around and attacked the cavalry on both sides, then the nearly 10,000 Goguryeo troops directly in front would march straight in.
Get there At that time, without the suppression of strong crossbows and long bows, how could they escape the siege of the Goguryeo army?
"A thousand dragon warriors and a thousand longbowmen fired at both sides."
Taishici gave an order, and the army moved upon hearing the sound.
Three thousand dragon warriors and three thousand longbow soldiers were instantly divided into three groups.
There were one thousand dragon warriors and one thousand longbow soldiers in the front, left, and right directions. The soldiers launched an attack.
Longwu soldiers were in front, and longbow soldiers were behind, matching each other.
Long arrows and crossbow arrows were seamlessly connected, killing the Goguryeo army.
The Goguryeo army in front was still being shot and killed quickly, even if it was 20% less With the intensity of the attack, it was difficult for them to get close.
However, there were many Goguryeo cavalry on both sides.
In addition, the distance between the two sides was not very far. After two rounds of shooting, the Goguryeo cavalry was close.
"Longwu soldiers formed a formation to block the Goguryeo cavalry."
Taishici gave an order, and the dragon warriors on the left and right put away their crossbows and picked up their spears and swords.
They were not just crossbowmen, they were dragon warriors. They focused on close combat, and supplemented it with long-range attacks.
"kill!"
Seeing Long Wushu put away his crossbow, the Goguryeo cavalry commander was very excited.
Without the crossbow, the crossbowmen were looking for death.
Moreover, these crossbowmen actually carried the crossbows on their backs.
This would undoubtedly increase their load. Affects the speed of action.
Facing the light cavalry, which focuses on speed, and making such a major mistake, it would be unreasonable not to die.
"prick!"
At this moment, an order came from the Longwu soldiers.
The Longwu soldiers holding spears thrust out the spears in their hands.
The weapons, which were longer than ordinary spears, directly penetrated the bodies of the Goguryeo cavalry.
"cut!"
The dragon warriors holding swords waved their swords and cut off the legs of the galloping horses.
Some of them assassinated the cavalry and some of them killed the horses.
They cooperated with each other and their lethality was amazing.
Soon, they fell in front of them. The bodies of countless Goguryeo cavalry and war horses were killed.
This further affected the charge of the Goguryeo cavalry.
Even if occasionally a Goguryeo cavalry rushed in front of the dragon warriors and hit them.
But what is shocking is that as a cavalry, they could not hit them. Use a crossbow?
"How could this be?"
The commander of the Goguryeo cavalry was extremely horrified.
As highly mobile light cavalry, they had only suffered heavy losses at the hands of Han spearmen.
Unexpectedly, a crossbowman was killed like this this time.
This made him I was embarrassed and angry at the same time, but also terrified.
Is the Han army too strong, or is the Goguryeo cavalry too weak?
The Goguryeo commander who was watching the battle on the other side of the river also saw this scene, and his originally indifferent face suddenly darkened.
The charge of the Goguryeo cavalry was actually shot by a bow The crossbowman was broken?
When did the melee ability of the crossbowman become so powerful?
The commander of Goguryeo didn't know the ability of the dragon warriors. He just saw them operating powerful crossbows and thought they were crossbowmen.
He couldn't figure out, a crossbow Why does the hand have such a powerful melee combat ability?
Because there is a dragon warrior standing in front of him. The longbowman standing thirty steps behind the dragon warrior still bends his bow and arrows and shoots at the cavalry in front. The cavalry is riding on the horse, They were much taller than the dragon warriors, and they did not have to worry about hurting their companions.
With the cooperation of the dragon warriors and the longbowmen, the casualties of the Goguryeo cavalry increased dramatically.
Moreover, this time the longbowmen prepared enough long arrows , will not be used up for a while.
And the 10,000 Goguryeo troops directly in front have been shot to death.
Most of the dragon warriors and longbow soldiers have shifted the focus of their attack to the stone bridge.
They were about to The Goguryeo troops who took the opportunity to pass through the stone bridge screamed in agony.
Many soldiers wanted to retreat, not wanting to face the terrifying Han army crossbowmen.
"No one is allowed to retreat, anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy."
The Goguryeo commander roared angrily, and after personally beheading several retreating soldiers, the chaotic situation was stopped.
Adhering to the principle of giving a sweet date with a stick, the Goguryeo commander shouted again:"Charge over, Anyone who kills a Han crossbowman will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold."
Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men, and the Goguryeo army rushed to the other side without fear of death.
However, sometimes it is not the courage that can change the outcome.
Under the strong attack of the dragon warriors and longbow soldiers, the narrow stone There is no need to aim at the bridge.
All Goguryeo soldiers who stepped onto the stone bridge were shot and killed mercilessly.
At this time, the penetrating power of the crossbow arrow showed its terrifying side.
One crossbow arrow can penetrate several, or even dozens of people. Goguryeo soldiers.
No one can step across the stone bridge with such firepower.
Seeing this, the Goguryeo commander finally gave up his plan to pass through the stone bridge and said in a deep voice:"Send the order and detour to the north."
The stone bridge at Mazishui is not this one, there are many more.
There is no need to fight on this stone bridge.
However, when he led the army to detour north, a Han army of 30,000 people appeared. Blocked in front of them
"Damn it! Turn around and retreat south."
The commander of Goguryeo didn't want to tangle with the Han army, so he immediately ordered a U-turn.
But when he completed the U-turn, every time he walked farther, he found another 30,000 Han army in front of him.
"Damn it!"
There are 30,000 Han troops in the north and south. It is difficult to get a good deal under attack from both sides.
On the other side of the river, there are terrifying Han army archers and crossbowmen, making it impossible for them to cross the bridge.
"Back to the city!"
In desperation, the Goguryeo commander could only lead his army to the west, preparing to return to Anping City. He would defend the city and then look for opportunities to retreat.
However, to his despair, a cavalry force of 3,000 men appeared in the west..The leader was none other than the commander-in-chief of the Han army.
