Chapter 759
The moon shines brightly on Kyushu, making some families happy and others sad!
Just when Pu Quansi had no choice but to charge with the whole army, Li Shimin's face was full of smiles.
He had also seen the exercises at the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty.
That was a drill and actual combat, and the situation was still very different.
Now that he saw that Ranger's tactics were so effective, his face almost burst into laughter.
"Mr. Mao, the whole army of Goguryeo has launched an attack. I think it's time for them to experience the taste of our Tang Dynasty heavy cavalry!"
"Your Majesty is wise, it is the most appropriate time to send out heavy cavalry at this time! With a thousand heavy cavalry as the vanguard, and other soldiers and horses following a hundred meters behind, they can definitely catch the Goguryeo people off guard."
Li Ji's face was also full of smiles.
This time the expedition to Goguryeo went much smoother than expected.
I was originally worried about insufficient troops, but now it seems that military strength is not a problem at all.
"Okay! That's how it should be!" After Li Shimin finished speaking, he urged his horse to take the lead and ran forward.
When he ran away, Li Ji was frightened half to death.
On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. If something happens to Li Shimin, then even if he wins in the end, it will be meaningless.
Besides, when he said that other soldiers and horses would follow behind, he did not mean that all the soldiers and horses had to go up, but that he left thousands of elite Qianniu guards behind Li Shimin and led the charge with the others.
However, it makes no sense to think about all this now.
Seeing Li Shimin charging forward, others began to charge.
If you look down from the sky, you will see a team of soldiers and horses wearing heavy armor, rushing towards the Goguryeo army formation.
Not far behind, nearly 20,000 troops followed.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
As a general leading the heavy armored cavalry, Li Junxian felt nervous when he saw the arrows raining down from the sky towards him.
However, he soon discovered that these arrows did not cause any harm to him.
He took a quick look around him and saw that no soldiers were hit, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the heavy armored cavalry proposed by His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really a weapon for charging into battle, and even arrows cannot have any effect.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
After facing two waves of arrows, Li Junxian held the Mo Dao tightly with both hands and felt the impact of the sword hitting the Goguryeo.
Driven by inertia, Mo Dao chopped off the bodies of each Goguryeo man without any difficulty. The scene was as bloody as it wanted to be.
One general's success will destroy ten thousand bones!
This has been the case since ancient times.
"when!"
"when!"
During the high-speed charge, Li Junxian could not make any other unnecessary movements except continuing to hold the Mo Dao.
However, fortunately, the armor's protective power was strong enough, and even after sustaining several blows from the swords of the Goguryeo people, he was not even injured.
This greatly boosted the confidence of all the heavy cavalry soldiers.
The Goguryeo people could hardly hurt themselves, but they could chop them down like buying rice.
Although there were only a thousand heavy cavalrymen, the damage caused to the Goguryeo people had already exceeded a thousand in just a few breaths.
The Goguryeo people who luckily escaped the charge of the heavy cavalry were overwhelmed by the Tang army that followed before they had time to rejoice.
This kind of Tang Dynasty version of tanks opening the way in front and infantry taking advantage of the rear was simply unheard of and unseen by the Goguryeo people.
For a moment, the people of Goguryeo, who were directly attacked, were frightened.
Even the servant Lao San, who originally looked down on Tang Jun, was hesitant to avoid Tang Jun's sharp attack.
This kind of monster that can't be hurt by swords has no opponent at all.
No matter how brave you are, you won't get any good results if you rush forward.
The charge of heavy cavalry is exactly the opposite of that of rangers. There is no way to adjust the direction at will.
Basically, it's a path until it reaches black and breaks through the opponent's military formation.
In this way, the situation on the battlefield becomes very interesting.
The Goguryeo army was trying to avoid the heavy cavalry, but there was no way to avoid it in time, and chaos arose.
However, the Qingqi led by Niu Jinda made full use of their flexibility and the advantage of their longbows to continuously encircle and suppress the Goguryeo soldiers and horses.
Behind them, an army led by Li Shimin himself was strangling the Goguryeo people.
Quan Pusi watched the figures of Goguryeo soldiers falling continuously on the battlefield, and felt chilled in his heart.
When did the Tang army become so brave?
Even when hundreds of thousands of Sui Dynasty troops attacked Liaodong City, he had never been so frightened.
But now, he was completely stunned.
After decades of fighting on the battlefield, he has never seen a battle like this.
The cavalry in front did not look brave at all, and would only play sneak attacks there. However, Goguryeo was unable to do anything about it, and suffered heavy losses.
After finally waiting for a head-on battle with the Tang army, what came up was the heavy cavalry who were not afraid of swords.
How can we still fight this war?
It's like when tanks first appeared on the First World War, everyone was completely helpless.
In fact, heavy cavalry is not without its shortcomings.
If there is no one to cover them, they charge for a while, and when their power is exhausted, they will only be harvested.
But the Goguryeo people didn’t know that.
Besides, it's useless even to know. The nearly 20,000 troops led by Li Shimin are not just joining in the fun.
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
Quanpusi has realized that he has lost this battle.
It was a complete defeat.
Now, it depends on whether we can bring back the surviving Goguryeo soldiers so that Liaodong City will not miss it immediately.
However, his idea is good, but the reality is very cruel.
The chaotic battlefield was further plunged into chaos because of the sound of the Goguryeo people singing gold.
The remaining breath in the hearts of the Goguryeo people who were still fighting was immediately drained by this sound.
These people turned their horses around regardless and tried to flee back.
But how could the Tang Army let you escape so easily?
Soon, the battle situation turned into a one-sided massacre.
"Your Majesty, after the first battle, Liaodong City has finally stepped into the arms of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Zhong closely guarded Li Shimin and did not kill any Goguryeo people.
Of course, although Li Shimin had an addiction to charging into battle, he actually had no real fighting chance.
"Haha! I would like to have a celebration banquet in Liaodong City tonight, but it depends on whether the Goguryeo people will cooperate!"
Looking at the Goguryeo soldiers who were fleeing in the distance, Li Shimin showed a proud expression on his face.
It would be okay if the Goguryeo people did not escape to Liaodong City. With the remaining defenders in the city, it would still take some effort for the Tang Dynasty to capture this fortified city.
But now that these defeated soldiers are taking the initiative to lead the way, the situation is completely different.
This is just like when Li Kuan captured the city of Pyongyang without any effort at all.
"Your Majesty, Quan Pusi has already taken the lead in retreating. I believe the defenders of Liaodong City will never dare not to open the city gate. When the time comes, it will not be up to them to decide whether to close the city gate or not."
Li Zhong had already seen Cheng Chuliang leading the way and following closely behind the Goguryeo people, and from time to time he would use his sword to kill several Goguryeo people who were lagging behind.
