Chapter 3010 Killing the Born
On the open plain outside Daque Valley, a fierce fight was going on.
The Goguryeo army had an absolute numerical advantage, holding back the Tang army's heavy-duty killing equipment and cavalry one by one. They rushed forward one after another regardless of casualties, trying to kill this Tang army's ace unit.
General Gao Huizhen personally led more than 10,000 elite troops to block Wang Wendu's troops who wanted to rescue the armored cavalry, but they fought to the death with blood and flesh flying everywhere!
An ambush suddenly turned into an encounter.
Fortunately, the Tang army was far superior to the Goguryeo army in terms of military equipment and the quality of its soldiers. Therefore, even though they were inferior in numbers and the battle situation was unfavorable, they still fought bravely in the enemy's array, leaving mountains of corpses and seas of blood and countless Goguryeo soldiers in their path. The soldiers were slaughtered and beheaded, and their fighting spirit was high.
However, as the battle dragged on, the situation became increasingly unfavorable to the Tang army, especially the armored cavalry in the enemy's formation.
The biggest advantage of the armored cavalry, a big killer on the battlefield, is its powerful impact. However, because of this, it can only be used when the two armies are charging. Once the battle situation becomes anxious, its weaknesses will become worse. hair exposed.
The armor was heavy and bulky, which consumed a lot of money on the warriors and horses and was difficult to last.
……
Xue Wanche took the lead and charged bravely. The Mo Dao forged from fine steel in his hand has some curling blades, and the armor on the men and horses has long been stained with the blood and flesh of the enemy, but the enemies in front of them are still densely packed with maggots wriggling around, and they can't be cut down, and they can't be killed. Absolutely.
He didn't know how many people he had killed. The number of cavalry behind him was gradually decreasing. They were running rampant in the Goguryeo phalanx, leaving rivers of blood and body parts everywhere they passed. However, the enemy troops always moved with them, killing them. Wrapped tightly in the middle of the phalanx, they constantly used human sea tactics to consume their physical strength and will, wearing away their combat power bit by bit.
Are you going to die here?
Xue Wanche chopped down the captain in front of him with one knife. Suddenly, he felt his arms were a little sore and his body was a little exhausted. The middle coat under the iron armor had long been soaked with sweat, and he was breathing heavily under the mask. The magnificent war horse underneath him was also extremely tired. It was too much for even the divine horse in the sky to carry a fully armed warrior wearing a pair of iron armor.
He is not afraid of death.
As the saying goes, "An earthen pot cannot be broken away from the edge of a well, and a general will inevitably die in battle." If you are in the middle of a military charge, how can you be safe and secure every time and win a complete victory? He had seen many brave and skillful generals being sneak-attacked by a low-level enemy soldier in the battle formation, and the battlefield was stained with blood. How could he not be mentally prepared?
Wrapping one's body in horse leather can be regarded as the honor of being a soldier.
However, he didn't want to die like this.
Wang Wendu did not follow the plan set before the station and failed to enter the enemy's position in time to assist. This was the reason why he was trapped in the enemy's position and unable to escape.
Without Wang Wendu's troops to support him, how could he have charged into the enemy's formation so unscrupulously?
I just didn't expect that this traitor would dare to ignore the plan in front of the station, retreat in the face of the battle, and sit back and watch him lead his cavalry into the enemy's formation, but refused to respond in time!
He can guess some of the reasons. Since the beginning, he has led the vanguard army to attack the city and conquer the stronghold. How many achievements have been achieved in just ten months? Wang Wendu, a thief, must be jealous of his own merits, so he used this method to get himself into the enemy's battle and die. After that, he can become the vanguard of the army and seize the merits...
The more he thought about it, the more unwilling Xue Wanche felt, and an angry flame seemed to burn all the blood in his body!
He has been fighting for many years and is considered a famous general in the court. How could he have thought that one day he would be defeated at the hands of his colleagues?
The insidious thief only cares about self-interest and ignores righteousness. How can I let such a treacherous person get what he wants!
"Kill!"
Xue Wanche cheered up, his unyielding will supported his body, and the Mo Dao in his hand continued to chop and kill as always. Like a cluster of arrows, he shouldered the greatest pressure for his subordinates behind him. He fought hard to kill the enemy, his knife flew flying, blood spattered all over the ground, and all the enemy soldiers in front of him were killed without hesitation. Looks like a demon!
The cavalrymen following him were also aroused by the bravery of the general. They refused to die in the enemy's formation. They rallied and followed Xue Wanche and charged forward.
The Goguryeo soldiers almost cried!
Have they ever seen such a demon-like enemy before? !
This group of cavalry are covered in iron armor and are almost invulnerable. They want to rush forward and cut off the horse's legs, but they have to break through the sharp Mo Dao in the enemy's hand. They try their best to cut down an enemy, but it often takes ten years to do so. The cost is several times or even dozens of times.
No one is unafraid of death. The Goguryeo soldiers were able to fight without fear of death because of the merits that were almost at their fingertips. However, when the bodies and limbs of Paoze piled up like a mountain under their feet, and the blood gathered into a river, the hell-like scene on earth continued to destroy their will. .
Meritorious service is indeed important, as it can enable them to get rid of their status as slaves and become civilians or even officers, but in the end, they must have a life to enjoy it!
The Tang army's cavalry who were surrounded and suppressed in the formation were like a huge flesh and blood millstone. As soon as they got close, they were mercilessly killed by the sharp sword. The spurting blood and splashing stumps made the will of the Goguryeo soldiers gradually collapse. .
The unkillable enemy is the most despairing thing on the battlefield.
It is clear that the Tang Army's cavalry has been surrounded in the formation. Tens of thousands of people have taken turns to charge but they still stand still. I am afraid that all of their own people will die, but the Tang Army's cavalry still stands firm...
Not only was someone numbly rushing forward to kill, but a severed arm flew over and hit him in the face, causing him to scream "Ah" in pain. He stretched out his hand and squirted warm, sticky blood all over his face. His stomach suddenly twitched, and he squatted on the ground and vomited violently.
When he couldn't vomit anymore, he stood up suddenly, threw away the weapon in his hand, let out a shrill cry, turned over and ran back.
The oncoming soldiers couldn't dodge and knocked him to the ground. He just screamed and rolled and crawled on the ground. His whole body was filled with fear, and his will had completely collapsed.
There was chaos in the array.
Many times, a tight nerve is like a string. It looks tough, but in fact, it will break immediately with just the slightest touch.
This is the case with the current Goguryeo army.
Their passion for meritorious deeds made them go on and on without fear of death. However, when countless soldiers fell at their feet with blood and corpses lying on their pillows, the enemy remained motionless like demons. The helplessness, fear and despair had already accumulated to the top. .
One of them lost his faith and his will collapsed, which immediately triggered a chain reaction like a domino. Countless soldiers turned pale, gave up on the encirclement and suppression, and turned around and ran towards Daque Valley not far behind them. No matter how the captain scolded and killed him, he could not stop the fear in his heart...
The entire battle formation collapsed in an instant, and the army was defeated like a mountain.
Countless soldiers cried and threw away their weapons and ran towards the Daque Valley behind them. Countless soldiers panicked and fell or were squeezed out of the way and fell into the surging river beside them. After a few struggles, they were submerged. The captain's officers scolded him repeatedly, but instead of stopping the army from disintegrating, they were carried away by the collapsed soldiers and retreated all the way...
……
Xue Wanche gritted his teeth with unyielding faith and encouraged the charge. After cutting down an enemy soldier, he felt the pressure suddenly loosen. He looked up in shock and looked around, and found that tens of thousands of enemy troops had retreated like a tide...
Xue Wanche took a deep breath. With his rich war experience, he understood that the enemy army was defeated. This was not a good time to pursue them one after another. The enemy general casually organized a brigade of soldiers to launch a counterattack, and he might be able to do so. Died in battle.
How can we miss such a good opportunity?
Immediately shouted: "Follow me and fight out of the enemy's formation!"
He suddenly pinched the horse's belly, and the war horse "Herod" made a long neigh. It used its last strength to carry him towards Wang Wendu's men who were fighting in the distance.
That is the only way to escape from the battlefield.
The exhausted cavalryman thought he was going to die, but suddenly found that he could escape. He immediately cheered up, urged his horse, and followed Xue Wanche into the rear formation of Gao Huizhen's command.
Gao Hui really led his men to resist the attack of the Tang army's infantry. He was secretly surprised that although these Tang army's infantry were powerful in combat, they always pushed forward unhurriedly, seemingly not caring about the equipment that had been surrounded by the enemy. Iron Cavalry...
There was no time to ponder the truth behind it. As long as we could delay the time so that the armored cavalry could be killed by our side, it would be a great achievement, and the guilt caused by the sneak attack could be completely eliminated.
However, chaos suddenly broke out in the back line. Gao Huizhen turned his head and looked around, his eyes almost splitting.
The armored cavalry that were supposed to be surrounded and suppressed had broken free from the shackles of their own square formation, and instead entered their own rear formation, causing chaos in the formation.
However, tens of thousands of his infantrymen got into the narrow Daque Valley without looking back, and many people were squeezed and fell into the rolling river, like a flock of sheep... Was this... a defeat?
