Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 528 Wuhou Eight Hexagram Formation

Li Jing's [-] cavalry, Su Lie's [-] cavalry, and Xue Zuo's [-] infantry armor make up [-].

The company camp was burned by the Sashui River, and Yu Moshi was defeated, forcing him to abandon the camp and flee south. Li Jing's army also suffered two thousand casualties.

The wounded soldiers were temporarily left behind, Li Jing did not take a rest, and directly led the remaining soldiers and horses towards Gao Dayang's main force.

Give him 6000 people, he dare not fight, but now [-], he dares to fight.

Historically, Li Jing's three thousand cavalrymen dared to go to Dingxiang to attack Jieli's main force.

The horn Wei Xuan heard on the top of the mountain was that Xiao Shilian and Yang Yuanqing under Li Jing's command took advantage of the dark moon and high winds to overwhelm Gao Dayang's [-]-strong army's rear troops.

A ranger evaded the enemy's line of defense, rushed into the camp, and went straight to the top of the mountain to report the military situation.
"General Manager Li led his troops to rescue. The flames in the distance indicate that the enemy's luggage has been set on fire. Xue Zuo under General Manager Mai is rushing here with all his strength. Manager Li hopes that General Manager Wei can reorganize the army formation and attack the enemy's vanguard with Xue Zuo."

Wei Xuan was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "How many people does Xue Zuo have?"

You Qi said: "Five thousand armored armor, eighty military chariots."

Wei Xuan narrowed his eyes, unfolded the map and stared at it for a while, then pointed to a place above and said:

"Take the map and go to see Xue Zuo quickly, and order him to line up here, and line up all the military chariots in front to prevent the heavy cavalry from breaking the formation. I will straighten out the troops and join him."

After the ranger received the order, he changed to a new horse and left immediately.

Outside the camp right now, enemy troops can be seen everywhere, but their momentum of attacking the camp is no longer as ferocious as before.

Wei Xuan only has more than 3000 people in his hand, and it is undoubtedly very risky to go out of the village right now.

But staying here would definitely lead to death. If he could break out, he might still have a chance, so he had no choice.

"Command the soldiers, the reinforcements are here to save them, quickly assemble the army, and break out with me."

They dared to go out only if they let the soldiers know that the reinforcements were coming, otherwise Wei Xuan could no longer command, and if he suffered such a big defeat, if he still enforced the military law, the mutiny would be imminent.

Laizheng's physical strength was exhausted, and he was supported by two soldiers to walk down the mountain.

At the same time, Li Jing personally led [-] light cavalry, only three miles away from the camp, constantly harassing the enemy's attacking troops to relieve Wei Xuan's pressure.

Dong Chun had already fallen out with Yu Wenshu, and was almost killed by Yu Wenshu's military law.

Because their main force finally discovered that what they were chasing madly all the way turned out to be an enemy decoy team. The key was that they had not caught up and were fled into the deep mountains to the east.

After interrogating the captured prisoners, Dong Chun exploded in anger.

Why did I fight the main force in Pyongyang, chasing 5000 people so far?Let the main force of the family be under my nose to fight Yu Zhongwen?

So he scolded Yu Wenshu in front of so many generals, and was tied up by Yu Wenshu.

Yin Shishi also knew that something was wrong now: "Chief Chief, please go downstream quickly. If Chief Yu makes a mistake, our army will lose the power to attack."

Yu Wenshu said in a deep voice: "We have come here now, and Wei Xuan is on the other side. If you don't save him at this time, will you just watch him die? Crossing the river is a hassle. Order to go down and build a pontoon bridge, and we will cross the river from here."

His decision was very correct, and at this point, there was no time to save Yu Zhongwen.

What's more, they have found out that there is the main force of the enemy Sashui on the opposite bank, and they are the main force.

Yu Wenshu's comfort envoy with the army was Yu Shiji, the favorite of his favorite ministers. Yu Shiji also believed that he should cross the river here.

So the army acted urgently, felling trees and building pontoon bridges.

The 1 members of Chen Leng under Yu Wenshu's command took the lead in crossing the river on the pontoon bridge that Wei Xuan had already built. Chen Leng was General You Yuwei, and Qin Shubao was under his command.

Three days later, with Yuwenshu's main force successfully crossing the river, the big attack surrounding the south bank of the dam with a radius of nearly a hundred miles was full.

This is Zuo Yiwei, even though he only has 6000 people.

The soldiers of the Wei Xuan Department who were defeated and fled also gathered here one after another.

The shaking drums were like thunder from the sky. The largest battle since the expedition took place in the plain between Yalu River and Sa River.

What Yu Wenshu laid out was Wuhou's gossip array.

The Chinese army is in the middle, right in front, are the sky formation, snake pan, and cloud formation, the main general is Chen Leng, the left and right are flying dragons, tiger wings, the main generals are Wei Xuan, Yin Shishi, and the rear is the wind formation, bird flying, and ground formation, and the main general is Qiu He.

Roaming in 24 formations, roaming the two wings, the main general Luo Rong and the deputy general Li Jing.

The whole big formation is a large formation wrapped in a small formation, taking the meaning of the six lines of "Book of Changes", a total of 64 small formations.

Yu Wenshu sits in the middle army, with hundreds of flag officers in front of him.

"Report! The enemy's heavy cavalry began to charge, and there are more than [-] people by visual inspection."

Yu Wenshu nodded and said: "Order: Zhao Kai, Yang Yuanqing, Su Lie, Guo Chi, Yang Hui, and Linghu Can ride in six directions, maneuver on both wings, wait for the enemy to enter the formation, and wipe them out left and right."

As soon as the general order was issued, the six-way rangers who were waiting under the horses, a total of 8000 people, mounted their horses one after another, and after leaving the army formation, they spread out to the two wings in an inverted horoscope.

For these two cavalry troops, it depends on the timing of the action. If the enemy's heavy cavalry successfully enters the formation, they will form an encirclement at the rear.

As for Goguryeo, when they saw Sui cavalry rushing from east to west, they also sent two light cavalry to drive them away.

Cavalry like them, who are mainly used for strategic cover and support, will not easily start a full-scale fight even if they meet face to face, because the general order did not let them fight.

So what to do?It's extreme pulling.

They have to implement tactical arrangements, rather than blindly fighting when they meet.

Directly ahead, more than 1 armored cavalry marched slowly at first, and when they entered the impact distance, their speed would increase. The last 100 meters was the stage of charging.

The cavalry of the enemy and us cruising in two directions will not harass them, because everyone has their own tasks.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded, and thousands of troops galloped wildly, making the earth seem to tremble.

"Yuya one, full bow!"

"Bow and arrow two, full bow!"

"Three bows and arrows, full bow!"

"put!"

With an order, the rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun was shot into the sky, and then drew countless arcs, throwing towards the heavy cavalry army not far away.

Crashing, clanging, all kinds of chaotic sounds filled the surrounding area.

Bows and arrows have limited lethality for high-speed moving objects, especially if the enemy has not yet entered the effective distance of armor penetration.

The armor-piercing effect of refined arrow clusters depends on the range, 45 meters is the best, but the distance of 45 meters is within the blink of an eye for cavalry charging at high speed.

If you want to get the most benefit from bow and arrow killing, the platoon players in the front line must withstand it.

"block!"

At the sound of an order, the three rows of handcuffs standing in the front suddenly rushed forward, the large shields in their hands covered most of their bodies, only their spears were exposed, and the soldiers rushed at the enemy's full-armored heavy cavalry with their flesh and blood.

Crash, jingle, jingle.
The mournful neighing of war horses, the wild roars of soldiers, the intertwined sound of gold and iron, amidst the sound of rumbling war drums in the rear, the fighting became fierce.

Bows and arrows were constantly being thrown from the rear, while the crossbowman looked at the gap and cast cold arrows secretly.

A heavy crossbow was shot into the Goguryeo heavy cavalry formation like a cannonball, and its lethality was astonishing.

Seeing that the heavy cavalry had already entered the battle, Yang Yuanqing shouted: "You guys follow me."

He took the lead in turning his horse's head and galloping back. Behind him were thousands of cavalry that stretched for hundreds of meters.

He's going to the formation.

But the Goguryeo cavalry who were in charge of driving away were not here to watch the show. They directly changed direction and walked side by side with Yang Yuanqing's troops.

Tear, or tear.

The task of Su Lie and Yang Yuanqing was to block the rear of the heavy cavalry, resist and support the enemy.

The cavalry fighting against them is to ensure the effective connection between the heavy cavalry entering the battle and the rear, and to open up space.

Just like playing chess, they all have their own tasks, and their own areas of control.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gao Dayang ordered that eight pikemen in the phalanx began to slowly advance towards the Sui army.

Goguryeo's spearmen are not the same as those of the Sui Dynasty. Their guns are longer, similar to those of Ma Yang.

But the wood is so bad that most of the barrels are not straight and the tips are very short.

However, this thing is a big threat to Qingqi, because he can stab people and horses from a long distance, but because the gun shaft is not straight, the aim will be relatively poor.

As soon as Goguryeo moved, Yu Wenshu, who received the news, ordered the six-way rangers to retreat. The sky formation and cloud formation in front each had [-] infantry, which were a mix of rowers, swordsmen, crossbowmen, and long gunmen. The wings were roundabout and outflanked.

Li Jing, on the other hand, led [-] heavy cavalry, waiting for an opportunity to charge into battle.

There is a saying about waiting for an opportunity, which means that if you have the opportunity, you should do it, if you don’t have the opportunity, don’t do it. Li Jing can figure it out.

When the two armies are facing each other, especially in such a huge battle, the commanders of both sides will be cautious in every step.

Just like two people playing chess, before the real opportunity arises, it is impossible to start a large-scale fight.

Yuwen Shubu plus Li Jing Weixuan, there are already more than 5 people. Pei Xingyan under Li Jing's command is not here, and he left with [-] heavy cavalry.

The enemy has nearly [-] troops.

This battle not only considered the strategizing of the commanders of both sides, but also the execution quality of their own generals, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and the degree of well-equipped.

Yu Wenshu dared to fight more with less, and confronted head-on, relying on the quality and equipment of his soldiers.

According to Yang Guang, the disciples of Guanzhong and refined weapons are called invincible hands in the world.

The first contact between the two sides, with Goguryeo Mingjin withdrawing troops, temporarily died down.

Qiu He, who was in charge of the rear, was already arranging for soldiers to build barracks and simple fortifications. This time the two sides met, it was destined to be a protracted battle.

In the direction of Wugu, Yu Zhongwen, who was abandoned, was completely caught in a pincer attack, leaving him with only one choice, to retreat north. (end of this chapter)
