"There's an ambush, retreat!"

In the north of the canyon, a Tang army came out of the trail and was ambushed by the Goguryeo army, with bows and crossbows fired!

Goguryeo chief Go Hye-jin personally commanded the ambush, and Goguryeo military general Eulji Mundeok led the elite archers of the Northern Army to launch a volley. The Tang army was defeated and retreated backwards, followed by a group of heavy armored infantry and crossbowmen.

"Destroy this Tang army!"

Cui Zaishan waved his hand, and a group of Goguryeo mountain infantry pursued the Tang army. The Tang army abandoned their helmets and armor, and their flags were scattered on the ground.

"Sure enough, the Tang army that came to provoke them a few days ago was just their elite cavalry. The Tang army was not invincible."

Cui Zaishan saw that the Tang army in the canyon left a lot of trophies, and immediately collected these weapons and armor. The equipment of the Tang army was undoubtedly a good thing for the Goryeo lords.

"The Tang army that unexpectedly attacked the rear of Goguryeo's reinforcements was defeated!"

This news quickly reached the ears of Chu Tian and others who were on the other side of the river at this time, and the morale of the army was shocked.

"Impossible. We have already reminded Li Shimin. Why does he still send troops according to his original plan?"

Chu Tian was a little unbelievable.

Prince Yan, Gongziwen, Dahu and other lords could not believe that the failure of the Tang army's sneak attack undoubtedly gave the Goguryeo army, which had been defeated in recent days, a shot in the arm.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin seemed not to have listened to their suggestions at all.

"How many casualties did the Tang army have?"

"I don't know, there are probably several thousand people."

"If there are only a few thousand people, it won't hurt the bones, but it will have a great impact on morale. And in this way, it will be impossible to defeat the Goguryeo army on the opposite side."

While a group of lords in Chutian were discussing, there was another commotion among the Tang army.

“Your Majesty’s personal expedition has arrived at Beiling!”

The Tang army stationed in Xiling was shocked by the news of their defeat and fell into a frenzy.

There are not many emperors who often go on military expeditions in person after proclaiming themselves emperors, and even fewer emperors who can win battles every time they go on expeditions in person!

"Li Shimin personally took action."

Chu Tian and others looked towards Beiling.

Beiling is on the other side of the river. Li Shimin personally led 40,000 Tang troops and 25,000 Eastern Han troops to Beiling.

Li Shimin led fewer people than Li Ji, but he dared to appear on the bank where the Goguryeo army was.

The Goguryeo army also noticed the arrival of the Tang Emperor, and all troops were on alert.

A black-armored cavalry appeared from the horizon, and the battle flags of the Tang army were flapping in the valley wind! The gray-haired Yuchi Jingde was holding the horse's shaft, his tall horse still looked like he was charging into battle in the past!

"The Tang Xuanjia Cavalry is a high-level heavy cavalry."

Chu Tian, ​​who currently only has one Goguryeo heavy cavalry in hand, can't help but be jealous of Li Shimin's elite.

Compared with Li Shimin's black armor cavalry, Goguryeo's heavy cavalry is really nothing.

"Those are the heavy cavalry of Tian Khan. They are invincible wherever their iron hoofs go!"

Gao Huizhen, who had just defeated Changsun Wuji's partial army, and Eulji Wende prepared their troops to attack Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

The shock brought to them by the Tang Xuanjia Cavalry was unparalleled. This elite cavalry must be blocked, otherwise a heavy cavalry force could defeat tens of thousands of people.

"Set up the horses and antlers!"

The Goguryeo army deployed various fortifications to prevent the Tang army's Xuanjia cavalry from charging.

Jiang Fatty, a member of the Quanzhou Legion, was sweating constantly on his forehead and holding a towel in his trembling right hand. He also knew that Li Shimin had an elite heavy cavalry under his command, and no one in the wild could be Li Shimin's opponent.

"We just defeated Changsun Wuji's Tang army, which shows that the Tang army is not a big deal. Eulji Wende will defeat Li Shimin!"

Choi Jae-sun appeared with Eulji Munduk, and he handed almost all the troops of the Goryeo lords to Ulji Munduk's command. The commander of Ulji Munduk can give bonuses to more than 100,000 troops, and he is one of the few top heroes in the Goryeo civilization area. .

The only weakness is that the troops of the Koryo lords cannot compete with Li Shimin's Tang army.

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, showed up brazenly at Beiling with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. He was at odds with Li Ji's 100,000 Tang troops and was not afraid of Goguryeo's million-strong army.

The Tang army continued to send the Turkic prince Ashina Sheer to provoke Goguryeo. The Goguryeo army was highly nervous and did not continue to be attacked.

Li Shimin was stationed in Beiling.

On the seventh day of the National War, the two sides were still at odds.

"What on earth is Li Shimin thinking?"

Chu Tian and others had been waiting patiently, and there was no movement for a whole day after Li Shimin arrived at Beiling.

On the evening of the seventh day, a group of Tang Army sergeants came to Chutian's camp and found Chutian who had taken off his armor and rested: "The British Lord has summoned him."

Chu Tian followed the Tang Army sergeant to Li Ji's camp, and Ming Guan, the commander of the Third Army Corps, was also summoned by Li Ji.

This was the second time Chu Tian met Li Ji, the British Duke of the Tang Dynasty.

"Today we will kill pigs and chickens to reward the whole army, and tomorrow we will have a decisive battle."

Li Ji's words were also very simple. He informed Chutian and Mingguan that they would have a decisive battle with the Goguryeo army tomorrow.

Apart from this, there are no other commands.

"The Tang army was as confident as ever in themselves. After Changsun Wuji was defeated, he still fought with the Goguryeo army as if nothing had happened."

"Is there any other arrangement?"

Chu Tian and others could only believe Li Shimin.

The Second and Third Legions of the Eastern Han Dynasty Allied Army killed pigs and chickens to reward the soldiers.

Generally speaking, before the decisive battle, the soldiers will be given a good meal to boost morale, so that even if they die in battle, they can be a well-fed ghost.

"Tomorrow is the decisive battle. Everyone must pay attention to safety. After the soldiers die, they can be recruited again. If the lord dies in the battle, it may have an impact on the future national war."

Chu Tian looked around at his nine lords and ten guild leaders. Tomorrow's decisive battle might last a long time, and there would be millions of troops on the opposite side.

"At that time, Zhou Yafu, Pang Juan, and Li Guang will be the main forces, and Di Qing and Hua Mulan will each lead a group of cavalry and wait for the opportunity."

He deploys simply.

In a battle, 90% of the time may be spent testing each other, and the winner can be decided in just one or two days.

Tomorrow is a battle that affects the outcome of the Tang army and the Goguryeo army.

Everyone feels a little heavy.

The Tang army was not invincible. Changsun Wuji's partial army was repulsed by the Goguryeo army.

On the eighth day of the National War, 40,000 Tang troops and 25,000 Han troops in Beiling came out of camp and formed a formation.

Li Ji's 100,000 Tang troops and 50,000 Han troops in Xiling came out of camp to prepare to fight across the river.

The Goguryeo army realized that the Tang army was about to launch a battle, and also marched out of camp to fight. Taking advantage of the high morale after defeating Changsun Wuji, they completely destroyed the Tang army.

For the sake of safety, the Goguryeo army deployed a large number of resisting horses and antlers around the phalanx, fearing the iron hoof attack of the Tang army.

Chutian's second army and Mingguan's third army were regarded as reserve forces by Li Ji. The main force of the real assault was the Tang army.

"In the middle and late stages, maybe we can become the main force."

Chu Tian knew that the troops and horses of the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the early stage were not qualified to serve as the main force in front of the Tang army.

When the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty recruit Iron Eagle Scouts, Wei Wuzu, Qin Ruishi, and Liaodong Iron Cavalry, they may be qualified to claim that they are the same main force as the Tang Army.

Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry was not at the front, but was replaced by the Tang army's heavy infantry, armed with six-foot infantry spears.

Compared with the cavalry rifle that Chutian exchanged for Hua Mulan, this infantry rifle is much cheaper.

What Chutian gave Hua Mulan in exchange for was a gold-level cavalry gun, which was actually a luxury item.

The infantry of the Tang army covered the crossbowmen and pressed towards the Goguryeo army. The Goguryeo army took a step back nervously.

"Everyone, please don't panic!"

The two generals Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen worked hard to maintain the army.

Although the Tang army was small in number, it brought great pressure.

After ten times the area of ​​the canyon, the space was still not large, and Goguryeo's million-strong army could not take advantage of it, and only tens of thousands of people were spread out on the front.

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was on the high ground of Beiling, looking south.

"How could Changsun Wuji fail so easily?"

"Your Majesty, there is dust in the south."

"Order, the entire army attacks!"

The loud sound of horns and drums sounded, and the Tang army launched an attack across the board!

The Tang army with sparkling armor continued to advance, and the Xuanjia army of the Tang Dynasty watched eagerly.

As long as the Tang army infantry in front destroys the antlers, the Xuanjia army will launch an attack.

"The rear of the Goguryeo army seems to be in chaos!"

The lord was shouting while observing from a height.

Chu Tian hurriedly climbed to the high ground, and sure enough, behind the Goguryeo army, sand and dust were billowing, as if they were fighting a battle with a group of soldiers and horses.

"Didn't Changsun Wuji's partial army be repulsed? Who attacked the Goguryeo army?"

Chu Tian was quite surprised.

But it doesn't matter who attacked the Goguryeo army, because the rear of the Goguryeo army was attacked, and the time for decisive victory has arrived!

Thousands of arrows were fired together, and the rain of arrows from the Tang army was like black clouds covering the sky!

Hundreds of Goguryeo infantry and archers were killed by a hail of arrows!

The Goguryeo archers fired back, and tens of thousands of arrows drew parabolas in the air and landed on the Tang army's shields.

The two armies clashed, and the Tang army's infantry tried to remove the antlers to clear obstacles for the cavalry.

The sharp infantry spear pierced the wooden shield of the Goguryeo infantry and stabbed the Goguryeo infantry on the opposite side to death!

Rows of heavy infantrymen of the Tang Army kept moving forward, trying to overwhelm Goguryeo's front!

"A Tang army appears behind us!"

"The heavy infantry of the Tang Army are destroying our formation, and no less than ten generals in the front are killed!"

"The Tang Army on the other side of the river is urgently laying a pontoon bridge and preparing to cross the river!"

"The cavalry of the Tang Army is ready to attack!"

The Goguryeo army was in chaos and was attacked from three sides by Li Shimin, Li Ji, and Changsun Wuji!

"Eulji Mundeok, you lead the army to block the army that attacks the rear!"

Choi Jae-sun was hysterical and gave his hope to the famous general Eulji Moon-deok.

Eulji Wende gritted his teeth. He only had the low-level troops put together by the Goryeo lords. Facing the elite Tang army, he was determined to kill the thieves but was unable to save the day.

At this time, Changsun Wuji led a strange army to attack from the rear. He had followed Li Shimin in the north and south for many years, and it was easy for him to lead a single army to attack the rear of Goguryeo.

Goguryeo lacked horses in the rear, and the Tang army's cavalry attacked the panicked Goguryeo army in the rear, killing countless people!

Tang general Xue Wanche took out his spear and smashed a Goguryeo infantry along the way!

"Demolish the pontoon bridges of the Goguryeo army and destroy all one million Goguryeo armies!"

A group of Tang troops demolished the pontoon bridge behind the Goguryeo army, cutting off its retreat.

"Li Hu, you lead the Xiliang cavalry in an assault!"

Xu Fengnian, commander of the Sixth Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty, ordered Li Hu, the Zhuguo of the Western Wei Dynasty, to lead the Xiliang cavalry and other cavalry in the army to charge.

As the ancestor of Li Shimin, Li Hu came from a family of generals and was good at cavalry warfare. Under his leadership, the Xiliang cavalry was very aggressive!

Xu Fengnian had third-level Xiliang cavalry, but with the support of historical general Li Hu, the thousand Xiliang cavalry as the vanguard were like sharp spearheads, breaking through the Goguryeo army!

Li Hu held a ring-headed sword in his hand and kept slashing the Goguryeo soldiers in front!

The Huanshou knife struck the shield. The iron pieces of the shield were hit by the Huanshou knife, making a violent collision sound and sparks flying!

Xu Fengnian can see that the military merits he has obtained are increasing.

Make a sneak attack from behind to gain more military merit!

Only Xu Fengnian knew what happened during this period.

Changsun Wuji's previous sneak attack was indeed ambushed by the Goguryeo army, but the ones who were defeated were Eastern Han soldiers who had put on Tang army armor and equipment, giving Goguryeo the illusion that the Tang army was defeated.

However, the real main force of the Tang army took the second path, went around to the rear, and successfully attacked the Goguryeo army.

The low-ranking soldiers of the Eastern Han lords became bait, and in return, their lords could gain more military exploits.

"That Goryeo army appears again!"

Xu Fengnian ordered Li Hu to lead the cavalry and follow the Tang army general Xue Wanche to attack. He watched the battle from the rear. After defeating the Goguryeo rear army, the allied forces of the Goguryeo lords came under the leadership of Ulji Mundeok and barely blocked the attacking Tang army.

"It's this Koryo army again."

Xu Fengnian could see Li Hu and Xue Wanche's cavalry gradually losing their impact and couldn't help but frown.

The Goguryeo coalition led by Eulji Mundeok was much stronger than the ordinary Goguryeo army, which brought huge resistance to the Tang army.

On the frontal battlefield, the infantry of the Tang army were in close contact with the Goguryeo soldiers, and the crossbowmen were shooting.

The horse and deer antlers established by the Goguryeo army were destroyed.

"The Black Armor Cavalry allowed the Goguryeo people to see the power of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin finally invested in the elite Tang Xuanjia cavalry!

Veteran general Wei Chi Jingde led the heavy cavalry, all of whom were wearing iron armor, into the battlefield. The cavalry held horse poles and their armor was dark, and launched an attack.

"Crush the Goguryeo people and drive them into the river to feed the fish!"

Yuchi Jingde took the lead and led the black armor cavalry to charge!

The heavy horseshoes made the ground roar, and the Tang Xuanjia cavalry attracted everyone's attention. This black cavalry was galloping with lightning speed, and the dust was flying!

"kill!"

Yuchi Jingde easily stabbed the oncoming Goguryeo cavalry!

"kill!"

The Xuanjia cavalry of the Tang Dynasty rolled with hooves, and wherever they went, people fell on their backs!

Facing the high-level Tang Dynasty heavy cavalry, the Goguryeo army was unable to resist as its horses were dismantled.

"Your Majesty, Duke Bi has requested to lead the Turkic cavalry to fight!"

"allow."

Li Shimin looked at the vast battlefield below. Yuchi Jingde's Xuanjia Army had torn apart the Goguryeo army. The Turkic prince, Bi Guogong Ashina Sheer, led the Turkic cavalry to attack.

Li Ji's 100,000 Tang troops quickly set up three pontoon bridges to attack the flanks of the Goguryeo army.

Suddenly, Li Shimin saw a white soldier riding a war horse, entering and exiting the Goguryeo army seven times, killing dozens of Goguryeo soldiers in a row, showing great bravery.

"who's that person?"

"I don't know, they should be soldiers under the command of Duke Guo."

"If he survives this battle and is summoned to see me, he will be greatly rewarded."

"Here."

The Tang army launched a full-scale offensive, and the Second Army and the Third Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as reserves, went into battle.

"Li Chengliang, Zu Dashou, it's time for our Liaodong cavalry to launch an attack!"

Mingguan led two generals into the battle.

The cavalry from Liaodong County followed the Tang army and killed all sides.

"Capture the Goguryeo heavy cavalry as much as possible!"

What Chu Tian was jealous of now was not military exploits, but trying to capture Goguryeo's heavy cavalry alive.

The Goguryeo heavy cavalry was not very loyal to Goguryeo. They also had excellent war horses and iron armor, horse armor, and armor. The standards were almost the same as those in the Central Plains.

In other words, capturing a heavy cavalryman is worth dozens of taels or even hundreds of taels of silver!

For Chutian, who lacked heavy cavalry, the Goguryeo heavy cavalry was like a walking treasury.
