The spearman blocked the gap with his flesh and blood.

But in a blink of an eye, another wall of the village was broken. The spearmen rushed forward quickly, using grenades, muskets, and gun arrays to block the gap desperately.

But the thin walls are too thin.

Just blocked this side, the other side was knocked open again.

Stepping on the corpse, the Goguryeo people finally rushed into the city.

The Tang army in the village refused to give in and made up for leaks everywhere.

In front of each gap, the Tang army launched a bloody formation with the Goguryeo people. They fought fiercely, spreading everywhere by the four walls of the small village.

The Tang army formed a square formation of spears and used shields, muskets and grenades to intercept the Goguryeo people. The wall was closed, and the archers were still pulling their bows and shooting archers.

The Goguryeo people shot arrows and hit the horses, and they were hit fiercely.

There are swords and swords everywhere, and blood flows everywhere.

The battle was even more tragic at those gaps. Both sides refused to give in and continued to fight on the bodies of the dead. Screams, roars, Tang people's killings, and Goguryeo curses, mixed together.

Yuan Gassuwen directly sent out an iron cavalry under his command, which was a heavy cavalry with a small number, but it was Yuan Gassuwen's personal guard cavalry.

These cavalrymen were wearing double layers of iron armor, and the horses were covered with armor, just like steel monsters. They directly selected a gap that the Tang army struggled to defend and rushed up directly.

No matter how the Goguryeo soldiers who were still fighting there rushed over.

An iron cavalry like a heavy truck, unstoppable.

The Tang army's white-robed gun array could not stop the bulldozer-like attack, and they rushed into the gun array at once. The spearmen sprayed gunpowder at the heavy cavalry and stabbed the iron-shelled spear, but at most it splashed sparks and was useless.

The Goguryeo knight waved his sword and slashed left and right. He didn't even have the same white-robed volunteer soldiers in his helmet and cloth armor, which was difficult to resist.

He was killed in an instant and blood flowed into a river, and he died in battle.

A whole gun array, two hundred white-robed volunteer soldiers died in a blink of an eye.

The Goguryeo soldiers behind finally made a hole and burst into earth-shaking cheers.

"Kill!"

These Goguryeo people were extremely excited and finally opened the gap, but the Tang army was too tenacious to resist, so they could not enter.

Now, these spearmen are not opponents of the Iron Cavalry.

Just when they were cheering.

Cheng Chumo rushed over with a team of swordsman players. When he came up, there were a bunch of grenades. There was a thunderous sound, and the Goguryeo Iron Cavalry's war horse was also frightened.

"Chop the horse's feet!"

Cheng Chumo shouted loudly, holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and rolling towards those reinstallations first.

The heavy cavalry in Goguryeo is somewhat different from the armored cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. Their horses only have iron armor in front, but actually leather armor. However, there is no armor below the horse's legs and knees.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary people cannot attack horse legs.

However, these heavy riders have not started running and are still a little panicked, which gives Cheng Chumo a chance.

The horizontal sword of the Tang Dynasty was the most advanced single sword of this era.

Because of the development of iron control technology in the Tang Dynasty, the bags produced were called "Su Iron Knife". With the addition of technologies such as steel clipping, the horizontal knife is unmatchedly sharp.

A top-notch horizontal knife can cut off fifteen layers of cowhide with one knife, which shows its sharpness.

Cheng Chumo's knife is a new horizontal knife made by the imperial military weapon supervisor to purchase the steel from the Li Ji Steel Factory. This knife is further ahead of the Su Tie Knife in the past.

One sword can cut off eighteen layers of leather armor, or even a sting, which may pierce an iron armor. Except for the two heart-protecting mirrors of the Mingguang Armor of the Tang Dynasty, the ordinary armor cannot be blocked.

Such a good knife, don't be too relaxed when you cut off the unprotected horse's legs.

The knife passed.

Broken legs.

No matter how strong an iron cavalry is, it still has weaknesses.

The horse with broken legs could not stand or run.

In fact, although the heavy cavalry itself has a strong defense and can rush around without any scruples, it also has a huge weakness, that is, the explosion is strong and the sustainability is short. Once they finish the rush for that time, they can't run. And the heavy cavalry that cannot run is actually a dead target.

The heavy rider, who was cut off his horse's legs, became a target of death.

After Cheng Chumo cut off a horse's leg, he no longer cared about the horse and the knight. He had the gunmen behind him to deal with it. All he had to do was chop the horse's leg.

The sword players he led were all veterans among the palace soldiers. On the battlefield, they were generally jumping soldiers. Those who could be jumping soldiers were basically the kind of elite special forces, with strong martial arts and flexible.

This kind of soldier is not even stronger than ordinary snorkeling and shield soldiers, but is all the experienced veterans.

The Goguryeo Iron Cavalry crushed the Tang army's spearmen and instantly destroyed a gun formation. But Cheng Chumo took the sword player and killed the iron cavalry off guard. After chopping dozens of horse legs, the iron cavalry was trapped there and unable to move, and the spearmen arrived behind him.

They were soon overwhelmed.

"Array!"

After Wang Xuance waved a big sword with both hands and killed a Goguryeo man, he saw that the Goguryeo man in the gap was almost killed and immediately shouted.

The spearmen quickly moved closer to him, and soon a gun array formed again.

A group of Goguryeo people rushed in again, and Wang Xuance shouted, "Grenade!"

A grenade was thrown out, and the Goguryeo people were stumbled around. When they got together again, the gap in front was already a complete gun array.

The gun stabbed like a forest.

At this time, the Goguryeo people set up a ladder again and were about to start both sides.

The pressure of the Tang army immediately increased greatly.

The ladders were mounted on the top of the wall. The walls were ten feet tall, which was indeed too short.

A large number of Goguryeo people abandoned their horses and climbed ladders to the walls.

On the wall, the archers were tired of shooting. The arrows in the quiver had been shot long ago. They had been replenished more than once, and their arms were sore that they could not lift them up.

The musketeers on the wall were thrown out the gunpowder cartridges and the grenades were thrown out.

At this time, he returned to the lowest level of spearman.

Standing at the top of the city, he kept stabbing the Goguryeo people who were rushing up, stabbing the gun, and then stabbing the gun.

Even Li Chao had to join the battle with the strong men from the village at this time.

"Friends, behind us is our home, our brothers, sisters, parents, wives and children. We have no choice but to retreat, and we will fight to the end!"

A group of old and young men in the village, holding wooden guns, and even holding wooden sticks, also roared one by one, "The bloody battle to the end!"

These people are just ordinary people, but at this time, they have no choice but to fight.

At the critical moment of life and death, these people burst out with great courage. Although the weapons in their hands were extremely simple, they did not have armor on their bodies.

But under Li Chao's leadership, they followed Li Chao and his guards and rushed upwards, screaming and poking at the Goguryeo people who rushed to the city.

With this momentum, Li Chao miraculously repelled the attack of the Goguryeo people.

However, at this time, the entire Zhaozhuang was under fierce attack like a storm, and the Goguryeo people also saw victory in front of them. Not only did the offensive not stop, but instead became more and more fierce.

The Goguryeo people broke through the defense again and again, rushing to the city village, but the Tang army fought to the death, which was even more desperate than them.

After repeated fierce attacks, they were finally defeated under the resistance of the Tang army.

Inside and outside the walls of Zhaozhuang, corpses were buried everywhere.

With such a high-intensity fight, the Tang army suffered extremely heavy casualties.

Li Chao brought Zhuang Ding, who was the reserve team, to join the battle repeatedly to save the situation.

The military doctor bandaged the wound on Li Chao's arm. As the head coach, he was already covered with multiple wounds. The battle was at its most critical moment, and Li Chao sighed in his heart.

"Prime Minister, it's going to be dark soon. After it gets dark, we will make a bloody path for the Prime Minister and send you a breakthrough back to Pingzhou." Liu Rengui said to the teacher.

As Li Chao's military strategy disciple and an excellent student in the martial arts hall, he knew very clearly the current situation. Although the Tang army's resistance was strong, the casualties were too heavy. When it darkened, the situation would only be even more unfavorable to the Tang army.

The Goguryeo people were far better than the Tang army in terms of quantity, training and equipment. They had suffered heavy casualties and were all supported by one breath.

When it gets dark, they will definitely not be able to hold on.

"I was careless. I didn't expect that the Goguryeo people were so fierce. Today we have killed at least five or six thousand of them, but it is really surprising that these dogs can maintain such a strong offensive."

Li Chao sighed, "Don't say anything else. When it gets dark, we will break through together."

At this time, Li Chao is not the time to be proud. If he continues to fight, they will all be ruined here. Although it is difficult to break through, he can run as much as he can while it is dark.

In fact, Li Chao was still looking forward to reinforcements. But the recent reinforcements were also Yuchi Gong's troops, but they rushed to Linyu Pass overnight and fought another battle there. At this time, there was no need to come. As for the subsequent reinforcements of the court, Li Chao estimated that they would not be able to catch up.

A wise man will make a mistake if he has a thousand thoughts.

He didn't expect that Yuan Gaisuwen shot back at this time, and he was so desperate.

Ruoyuan Gasuwen was just a normal attack. Li Chao was confident to defend for two or three days, and he would drag the reinforcements to make dumplings at that time.

But now, Yuan Gai Suwen is so willing to attack, and would rather have half of his casualties than annihilate him. This resentment is so deep.

A burst of cheers erupted, and the Goguryeo rushed in again.
