Chapter 1126 Thousands of Riders Attack Ten Thousand Shows
"Found the Liao soldiers."
Guo Yi Captain Ma Wenju rode back on horseback and reported the discovery of the enemy.
"The defenders of Liaodong City?" the 40-year-old Jiangxia King Li Daozong asked the truce horse.
The burly Lieutenant Ma wore bright clothes, shook his head and said, "It's still thirty miles away from Liaodong City, but the Liao soldiers we found came down from the north along the Shahe River. We grabbed two tongues, and they said they came from Wugu Reinforcements from the city."
Hearing that it was the reinforcements from Black Bone City, Li Daozong immediately took out a map of Liaodong from his arms. This Black Bone City is not close to here.
"how many people?"
"What we encountered was their forwards, about 10,000 people, and about 30,000 people behind them."
Li Dao frowned, "Why do these people appear here?"
"I heard that General Cheng broke through several cities of Goguryeo in the north. These people were going to reinforce Gaimu City, but they were attacked by General Cheng before they arrived at the city. They didn't dare to fight, so they turned south. Liaodong City is gone."
"Should we let them go?" Deputy General Zhang Junyi said.
Li Daozong hesitated.
"If we let them pass, 40,000 people will enter Liaodong City. With the strength of Liaodong City, we will add more troops. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to attack." He gritted his teeth, "We can't let them enter Liaodong City, and find a way to stop them. Give them a shot."
Zhang Junyi persuaded, "Your Majesty, our troops only have four thousand riders, and we have galloped all the way here. Right now, the horses are exhausted. Four thousand against forty thousand in the field, there is no chance of winning. Besides, Liaodong City is thirty miles to the east. , the Liao soldiers in the city will come at any time."
"Then we can't let them go." Li Daozong said, "Wei Guogong has won many battles in the south and won the first victory. Lu Guogong also captured several cities in Goguryeo in the north. We finally acted as the vanguard. We dare not encounter the enemy. Fight? We don’t only have generals like Wei Gong and Lu Gong in the Tang Dynasty, are we short of that?”
Ma Wenju immediately asked for a job.
"The last general is willing to lead the Qianqi from the headquarters to take the lead. Before the Goguryeo people find our traces, kill him by surprise and destroy his forward first!"
Zhang Junyi was the chief of the army and the deputy general of the 4,000 people. After hearing Ma Wenju's arrogant words, he immediately reprimanded him.
Ma Wenju didn't give up.
Holding the Mo Dao, he shouted, "If you don't fight a strong enemy, how can you be a strong man?"
Speaking of which, this Ma Wenju is not a simple person. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he followed Yang Guang to conquer Goguryeo and Liaodong City. At that time, he was Yang Guang's Xiaoguo army, and he was already a general. Later, the Eastern Expedition failed and experienced the siege of Yanmen, and finally went south to Jiangdu with Yang Guang.
At that time, Ma Wenju was young and strong, and was very dissatisfied with Yang Guang's nostalgia for Jiang Bugui, so he launched the Jiangdu mutiny with his superiors, Ma Dekan, Yu Wenhua and others, and forced to kill Yang Guang with Pei Qiantong and others.
Later, Ma Wenju accompanied Yu Wenhua and others to lead the Xiaoguo army back to the west, and was finally defeated and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
Ma Wenju was extremely brave. Yang Guang's Xiaoguo Army was originally an elite army selected from among the elite.
It's a pity that because of the regicide, Ma Wenju hasn't been promoted for nearly 20 years after returning to the Tang Dynasty, and he is only a captain of Guoyi until now, but compared to Pei Qiantong and others who were still prosecuted for regicide and treason in the Zhenguan Dynasty sin, he is not bad.
Already approaching fifty, Ma Wenju is still bold.
Li Daozong looked at Ma Wenju for a while, then nodded to him.
"Okay, you lead the headquarters of Qianqi to test those Liao soldiers."
After he led the front army to leave, Li Daozong also immediately ordered the whole army to put on armor and prepare for battle.
Ma Wenju's Qianqi is from the Flying Cavalry Camp of the Beiya Yulin Army, also known as the Qianqi Battalion. They are the same elite guards as the Xiaoguo Army back then. They are all children of Guanlong and are very brave.
Hearing that Ma Wenju came back and said that thousands of riders would fight ten thousand, all of them were enthusiastic and courageous, and they all rode their horses to follow.
A thousand riders, quietly lying in ambush on the road.
When 10,000 horses and horses from the front army of Black Bone City arrived like a long snake, Ma Wenju pulled up the horse, turned over and jumped on it, brandishing Mo Dao and shouting loudly. Behind him, the knights got on their horses and followed to charge.
"If you don't meet a strong enemy, how can you show yourself a strong man and make meritorious deeds!"
Once again galloping in Liaodong, Ma Wen couldn't help but recall the scenes of more than 20 years ago. At that time, he was young and passionate, and he was recruited as Xiaoguo in response to the Xiaoguo order to conquer Liaodong.
At that time, Shen Guang, the Meat Flying Immortal, and many others joined him. They were all heroes in Beijing, passionate and brave. Relying on his outstanding ability, Shen Guang first climbed to Liaodong City, was beaten down by the defenders, and then jumped up and climbed up the city again with a knife in his hand. Take the treasured sword with you as a guard.
Although Ma Wenju did not perform as well as Shen Guang on the Liaodong battlefield, he also saved many Goguryeo leaders with his true skills, and was promoted step by step.
Looking back, the past is like smoke.
I am no longer young, no longer a twenty-year-old boy, but the blood in his chest has not been extinguished.
This Eastern Expedition was an opportunity he had come to seek with great difficulty, and it was hard-won, so he needed to cherish it all the more.
"Kill the thief!"
Ma Wenju wielded the Zhangbamo Dao and charged into the enemy's formation first.
The Goguryeo people were killed and fell on their backs. They were caught off guard. They were unable to reinforce Gaimu and went south to Liaodong City. Liaodong City was in sight, so they relaxed their vigilance. No one expected that they would be attacked under Liaodong City.
Ma Wenju was old and strong, and on the horse he swung his saber repeatedly, slashing left and right, killing several people in a row.
The knights of the imperial army of the Flying Cavalry Battalion behind them also all rushed forward, and a thousand knights suddenly showed the momentum of a thousand horses galloping. Tens of thousands of Goguryeo black-skeleton soldiers were beaten by them and ran around. After the Goguryeo general panicked, he found that only a thousand cavalry were attacking, and he immediately stabilized his mind.
Start command transfer.
The front has collapsed, but fortunately there are many people and horses, and the six or seven thousand horses behind are still in chaos.
The Koguryo general, who was relieved, mobilized his troops and horses, set up a frontal formation to block the attack, and sent troops to outflank the two wings, preparing to eat the thousand arrogant Tang cavalry.
Below the city of Gaimu, they didn’t dare to go up against the mighty Tang Jun, but now, don’t they dare to fight the Tang Jun who is alone?
Ma Wenju and others rushed to defeat the front army, reached the front of the formation, but could not pass.
Although the Qianqi Battalion is the elite of the imperial army, it is only a light cavalry after all. Facing the dense array of spears and the rain of arrows, the number is too small after all.
After several rounds of rushing, they failed to rush over, leaving corpses everywhere in front of the formation.
The Qingqi of the Goguryeo people circled and outflanked from both sides, and Ma Wenju and others were surrounded and could only fight to the death.
At this time, Li Daozong finally arrived with more than 3,000 troops.
"Boss Zhang, I'll be with you on the left and on the right, cover and attack with both wings, and kill their Qingqi first."
Li Daozong quickly made deployments, and the two each led 1,500 cavalry into the battlefield.
Zhang Junyi looked at Ma Wenju, who was already under siege, and spat, "Why did the county king save this kingslayer? Wasn't he very arrogant just now?"
Li Daozong looked unhappy, "Now is not the time to talk about this."
"Then please ask the king of the county to hold the line here, and the last general will lead the troops to tear the mouth open and rescue the kingslayer. How can the king of the county be in danger so easily."
Zhang Junyi persuaded Li Daozong to stay, and led his troops to kill him.
Zhang Junyi is also a mighty general of the Forbidden Army. He led Qingqi and rushed over, slashing at the Goguryeo people.
Seeing that a hole was about to be torn open, Ma Wenju was rescued, but the horseshoes behind were thundering, and another Goguryeo cavalry arrived, but the soldiers and horses in the rear rushed over after hearing the news.
Zhang Junyi was caught off guard. He was chasing the Goguryeo people, but he was suddenly surrounded by the Goguryeo cavalry's counterattack. The difference in numbers between the two sides was too large.
He also didn't know how many people from the enemy had come. Anyway, as far as he could see, they were all the flags of Goguryeo troops. Looking over there again, Ma Wenju's headquarters could no longer be seen.
It is not known whether it was annihilated or in combat.
After weighing in his mind, Zhang Junyi ordered to break out and retreat.
"Withdraw!"
Zhang Junyi retreated with a U-turn, and the rest of Tang Qi also followed the flag.
Li Daozong led hundreds of cavalry behind the formation to watch the battle, but he saw Zhang Junyi retreating in a short while. The frightening thing was that he only cared about running away.
Li Daozong is also known as the famous king of the clan. He imitated his cousin Li Shimin in every way. He was guarding Shuofang Lingzhou for many years, and he also practiced with Turks. Later, he also fought Tuyuhun and others. His ability to command troops is not bad. It's not his turn to be a pioneer.
King Jiangxia was furious, this **** Zhang Junyi, even if the battle situation is unfavorable, you have to ensure the formation, you can pull, you can't just run around like this, this thousands of troops, how can you run as fast as you can? Can I get it back?
Li Daozong raised his horse lance, led his personal soldiers to go up against the road, waved his lance and knocked down several cavalry who were running around, and then ordered that those who dared to continue to escape should kill Wuhe.
Finally stopped the fleeing cavalry and regrouped behind him.
Regardless of the dissuasion of his own soldiers, Li Daozong took the Qing cavalry and guards who were in charge of the formation, and brought the defeated soldiers who had just stopped, and rushed towards the pursuers of Goguryeo.
Less than a thousand rides.
Go upstream!
Jiang Xia Wang took the lead, just like Ma Wenju and Zhang Junyi before, but this time he faced a worse situation, but he was not timid at all.
Thousand rides recoil.
Li Daozong led his cavalry to charge from left to right, directly staring at the position of the Goguryeo leader, regardless of it.
When the battle has reached this level, even if they die anyway, they will have to desperately pull a few backs.
The king of the county had already charged in person, and those imperial cavalry who would run again all turned around and rushed back, and even followed the Goguryeo commander's flag.
To capture the thief, first capture the king, and ignore the others.
The Goguryeo general also panicked. Has anyone encountered this style of play before? Isn’t this crazy?
He had already sent all the cavalry out to encircle the two cavalry that had attacked earlier, and they were all scattered. At this time, the formation was opened in the rear, and there was a vacancy in the defense. Li Daozong rushed over so recklessly. Can temporarily avoid the edge.
So one chased the other and ran.
Li Daozong chased desperately, the former general of Goguryeo fled desperately, and then more Goguryeo people chased after Li Daozong, and even Ma Wenju, who was already in a desperate situation, suddenly became more alive.
Chaotic battle.
After all, Li Daozong failed to catch up with the Goguryeo general, and as time passed, reinforcements from behind Goguryeo kept coming. Soon Li Daozong and thousands of forwards under his command were surrounded again, this time everyone was surrounded.
A thunder rang in the sky.
It's raining.
Immediately after the thunderous horseshoes to the west.
A general of the Tang army galloped forward with his helmet on his armor, a black lacquered horse in his hand, and a nine-section steel whip on his back. Behind him were eight thousand Tang cavalry.
"Hey, Goguryeo boy, don't hurt my Tang Dynasty prince, your grandpa Yuchi is here too!"
At the critical moment, Yu Chigong arrived with 8,000 cavalry. He was like a **** of war descending to the world, and led the 8,000 Qingqi into the Goguryeo army like a sharp sword, and then slashed open.
Goguryeo tried to encircle and divide these thousands of Tang cavalry again, but this time it couldn't bear it any longer.
Under their continuous charge, the Goguryeo army was defeated layer by layer. In the end, about 20,000 people fled in a big defeat on the battlefield, running around. Yu Chigong and Li Daozong led the wolf-like Tang Qi to chase them all the way.
After chasing and killing more than 3,000 miles, they finally chased directly to the city of Liaodong. Looking at the Koguryo army who could not shrink from the closed city gate, the Tang cavalry jumped off their horses and unbuttoned their trousers at the city of Liaodong. They **** together in the city, and then they left.
