Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 532
After breakfast, Huang Zongxi put on his armor and was ready to go into battle at any time.

The various troops finished their entertainment activities and formed an army formation one by one.

"Get ready to throw stones!"

"Roger that!"

"Prepare the bow and crossbow!"

"Roger that!"

"Cavalry ready!"

"Roger that!"

Huang Zongxi stared at the front with all his attention. Today, he is still not the protagonist of the siege, but the original god cannon.

"Prepare... let go!"

A cannon commander is instructing the engineers of the original cannon to launch boulders.

boom!
boom!
The continuous sound of thunder and thunder sounded, and it was another boring day.

As the evening approached, Goguryeo's reinforcements arrived, and tens of thousands of Goguryeo infantry rushed towards the Yanguo camp.

"Crossbowmen ready!"

The messenger came again to convey the military order, and the fierce battle was about to begin.

Hou Jing had long expected that Goguryeo would sneak around and attack, so he let the crossbowmen resist the attack, and at the same time let the cavalry in ambush in the woods attack, and attacked Goguryeo's reinforcements from both sides.

At this time, the Goguryeo people in Buyeo City also took the opportunity to leave the city, and they seemed to swarm.

"Strong crossbow ready!"

A commander reminded everyone to use the crossbow with a longer range first.

Huang Zongxi had several weapons hanging on his body. He put his spear on the ground, and an engineer was binding the pear flower gun to his spear. After binding it, he went on to bind the pear flower guns of other comrades in arms. .

Huang Zongxi and his comrades also stood in three rows. He was the first row, also called "Tian row", besides that there were "earth row" and "human row".

"Tianlie, prepare to... let go!"

clang!
The commander just now pointed the red flag in his hand at the Goguryeo people who were rushing.

Hearing the command of the commander, an engineer behind Huang Zongxi first rang the gong hanging around his neck to remind Huang Zongxi's team members to prepare to release arrows.

shhhhhh!
Thousands of crossbow arrows were fired, and more than 300 Goguryeo people fell to the ground in an instant.

"The heavenly ranks retreat to install arrows, the ground ranks step forward to prepare, and the human ranks prepare."

"Prepare... let go!"

Huang Zongxi retreated to the third row, took out the strong crossbow arrows in the arrow basket, and loaded the arrows, and heard the sound of crossbowmen shooting from the ground row. He looked around and saw a large group of Goguryeo people fell in the distance.

Then, it was Renjie's turn to shoot, and a large group of Goguryeo people fell down.

"Prepare... let go!"

In the end, it was Huang Zongxi's turn to shoot at Tianlie. The engineers beside him rang the gong again, and then he pulled the trigger of the crossbow together with the team members, and a large number of Goguryeo people fell down.

"Tianlie..."

"Earth row... People row..."

"Prepare... let go!"

After going back and forth for three rounds, the Goguryeo people had shortened the distance and entered the shooting range of the continuous crossbow.

The firing speed of the continuous crossbow is faster, and multiple arrows can be loaded at the same time, but the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the range is relatively short and the penetration is very small.

Huang Zongxi put down the crossbow. Naturally, there were auxiliary engineers in white clothes to help him check and repair the crossbow, and handed him a repeating crossbow that had been inspected to be fine, and helped him install the arrows of the crossbow in advance.

The cooperation of multiple arms is also a characteristic of Yan's army.

When shooting the crossbow just now, Huang Zongxi was accidentally poked on the instep by the arrow he dropped, so the engineer quickly took off his shoes and bandaged the wound for him.

These auxiliary engineers need to understand basic equipment knowledge, they can check and repair equipment at any time, and they also need to understand some medical knowledge. Those with serious wounds will naturally be treated by military doctors. Their auxiliary engineers are responsible for simple temporary wound treatment.

In addition, they also need to detect the terrain for the army and fill in the roads. They also find ways to solve the army's daily domestic water use.

It can be said that the auxiliary engineers of Yan State do almost everything except not fighting.

"Prepare... let go!"

Following the commander's order, the engineers rang the gong again, and each crossbowman squad fired arrows. The moment they heard the sound of "dang", they immediately pulled the triggers at the same time, and all arrows were fired at once.

shhhhhh!
Whoosh!
"what!--"

"Wow!--"

Because the distance is getting closer and closer, the miserable screams of the Goguryeo people can already be heard.

After going back and forth for two more rounds, the Goguryeo people were less than forty steps away from the trench wall.

With such a short distance, the Yan army didn't even use their crossbows at all. The commander ordered each team to switch to firecrackers.

The engineers had already loaded the gunpowder in advance, and the crossbowmen put down the continuous crossbows in their hands and picked up the firecrackers under their feet.

The firecracker is too long, and it is ignited by the muzzle, which is very troublesome. It cannot be operated by one person at all, and engineers must be on the side to help ignite it.

The firecrackers were ignited, and many sharp gravels were fired from the iron pipe, blasting the faces of the rushing Goguryeo people.

Bang bang bang!
Many firecrackers were fired, and the broken stones exploded on the bodies of the Goguryeo people. The stones pierced into their flesh and blood. They clutched their stomachs and fell to the ground, howling bitterly.

The loading of the firecrackers was too slow, and after only one round of shooting, the commander asked everyone to replace the pear flower guns to fight.

At this time, the Goguryeo people had already rushed to the edge of the ditch. They put the trench bridge on the ditch, rushed forward, and climbed the temporary stone wall that was less than a person's height.

Huang Zongxi and others held pear flower guns in their hands and ignited them. The sparks splashed into the eyes of the Goguryeo people who were climbing the wall, scalding them alive and blind.

sizzle-

"what!!!!"

The Goguryeo people who were climbing the wall covered their eyes and fell to the ground, all of them wailing in pain.

Then, the Pear Blossom Spear can only fight for one round, and then they will face-to-face close combat across the stone wall.

However, there are tens of thousands of Goguryeo people who are still charging, and there are only 2000 Yan soldiers defending the stone wall. It may be very difficult to fight in close combat.

Sooner or later, the cavalry ambush arranged by Hou Jing in advance finally entered the battlefield.

Tatata!
Five hundred iron floats slaughtered into the vast plain, criss-crossing the land.

The Goguryeo people were attacking the crossbowmen's line of defense wholeheartedly, when they were suddenly attacked by the iron stupa of Yan State in the rear, and were immediately cut into two battlefields, losing contact with each other.

"kill!"

Under Hou Jing's command, the Wei soldiers of the Yan family and the Jin soldiers of the Yan family, who were the cannon fodder of the Yan state, took the lead in launching a counterattack.

Just now they were demoralized by the original guns of Yan State, and then almost collapsed when they hit the stone wall defense line, and then they were cut off by the Iron Buddha of Yan State. fight back.

Under so many factors, the Goguryeo people were defeated and fled in all directions.

Looking at the soldiers fleeing everywhere, the King of Goguryeo was very desperate. He shouted and asked the nobles to take the supervisor team to kill the deserters in order to maintain order, but the Goguryeo supervisor team was not a fuel-efficient lamp. fled the battlefield.

Even if the army is defeated like a mountain, the number of Goguryeo is still several times that of the Yan soldiers. As long as order is restored, this battle can still be fought.

But things like order cannot be restored just by trying to restore them.

Everyone wants to run, for fear that they will run slower than their teammates, and no one can stop them.

扶余城之战，侯景一万破八万，燕国一共损失268个燕属魏兵、293个燕属晋兵、26个行会兵、1个禁卫军士兵（铁浮屠)，斩杀高句丽6358人、俘虏高句丽31256人、击溃高句丽40000多人。

Since then, Hou Jing's reputation has spread far and wide, and he was promoted to the post of Jiedushi of Shandong Province soon after.
