Chapter 21 Head-on attack

After learning that the Goguryeo reinforcements were approaching, Luo Shixin immediately found Zhang Shigui.

"Master General!" Zhang Shigui walked on the muddy road after the rain to the central army's tent.

Luo Shixin was not polite and said directly: "The reinforcements from Goguryeo are about to arrive in Jian'an, so I decided to lead the troops to fight. After I leave, it depends on you to defend Liaodong City. You are fully responsible for all matters of all sizes and big things."

Zhang Shigui was a little anxious. These major general managers each had their own tasks and had made considerable achievements. He was so itchy that he asked for his order: "There are only a few reinforcements, so the general manager needs to take action in person. It is the last general who will guarantee the title of the general, so that none of them can enter Jian'an City."

"I believe this!" Luo Shixin said without hesitation. Zhang Shigui's bravery and good fighting are also famous. As long as he gives him enough troops to let him go, there is no reason to lose, but he still refuses, and smiles: "This battle is not as simple as winning. It is not just about winning, but also lure the Huxie Valley in Jian'an City. With Huxie Valley's persistence, I am afraid that only I can do it myself."

Zhang Shigui was also a rich man. Seeing that it was impossible to change, he said, "Since that is the case, the chief executive should be assured. I will guarantee that the Liaodong City will be kept tight and not let them threaten the new city."

"I feel relieved with you!" Luo Shixin said: "We have done so many things, and in the final analysis, we are trying to attack the Liaodong city in front of us. This Liaodong city is right in front of us. General Manager Zhang is afraid that there will be no achievements?"

Zhang Shigui's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized and retreated happily.

Luo Shixin transferred 8,000 from the army and asked Li Daozong, who occupied the new city, to lead 10,000 soldiers to come. Su Dingfang also transferred 2,000 soldiers and 20,000 soldiers.

Think about Yang Guang’s luxury. Think about his current financial difficulties, Luo Shi had ten thousand "grass mud horses" in his confidence...

He brought a hundred thousand troops. However, after a few places, his troops became a little short of money.

Because of strategic needs, 35,000 soldiers and horses asked him to arrange a surprise attack on Beisha City and attack Xincheng. Jian'an City divided 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers besieged Liaodong were only 35,000. Facing a giant city like Liaodong, as the attacking party, it did not have much advantage over 25,000 in the city.

This is also an important reason why the Tang army sieges but does not attack, and it is also because of the lack of military force. It is not to capture the Knot New City on the left and right wings of Liaodong and Jian'an City. It is equivalent to a dream to take over Liaodong.

Just as Luo Shixin said first, attacking Goguryeo is like pulling nails. When you pull out the nails one by one, Goguryeo will fall apart. If the nails cannot be pulled out, you can't even beat them down.

In the current situation, Liaodong can fight later, but Jian'an City must be taken. The same is true that Goguryeo's reinforcements cannot be allowed to enter Jian'an City. If Goguryeo's reinforcements of 35,000 Goguryeo enters Jian'an, it means that Goguryeo's troops on the defensive side are equal to those of the Tang army's attacking side. The siege side is already at a disadvantage, and the troops are equal again, let alone victory.

No matter what happens, Goguryeo reinforcements that must be supported in the future will be defeated!

This time, Luo Shixin personally took action and drew soldiers from each army to gather 20,000 yuan. He stood on the road that Goguryeo reinforcements were the only way to pass.

There were 35,000 reinforcements in Goguryeo, but the Tang army had 20,000 troops and horses pieced together. There was a huge gap in strength.

The victory or defeat of this battle is directly related to the success or failure of the Tang army's expedition. It is also particularly important.

When Li Daozong saw that Luo Shixin brought them to the east of Jian'an City, an unknown important place that could intercept Goguryeo reinforcements and Jian'an City, he asked them to camp and rest, and there was no more. He didn't discuss tactics and other things, and was a little anxious, so he came up in person.

"The Grand Chief, according to the news from the front line, Goguryeo's reinforcements are still two days away. This battle is crucial. How should we fight? Please give me some advice!"

"To be precise, there are still one and a half days..." Luo Shixin said with a smile. He knew the enemy's understanding more clearly than Li Daozong: "Goguryeo reinforcements have already learned the news of the fall of Xincheng. I also heard that Yuan Binzhi had passed away with grief when he heard that his grandson died in battle. After learning about it, the Goguryeo reinforcements have accelerated the marching speed, which will be faster than you expected. So what we have to do now is rest and do nothing, just wait until they come to the door."

Li Daozong was stunned at first, then realized his enlightenment and bowed, "The chief general is very smart, it turns out that everything is under the control of the chief general. I am confused, I am worried about it here. I am willing to be the pioneer and help the general defeat the enemy."

"Go and go!" Luo Shixin said without hesitation: "You can beat me and grab the position for me again. If you can't beat the left and right wings, you can choose your own choice." The coach thought that he hadn't charged for a long time. He won many victories along the way, but he didn't have the chance to go into battle. He finally waited for this opportunity and would be anxious for anyone who competed with him.

Li Daozong said in shame: "Then I want the left wing." Comparing martial arts with Luo Shixin, isn't this a canfly shaking the tree?

"Okay!" Luo Shixin saw that Li Daozong chose the most critical left-wing army besides the front, and secretly praised in his heart: Li Daozong is worthy of being Li Daozong, and he has indeed seen through his tactical strategies.

Luo Shixin's scouts kept conveying news about Goguryeo reinforcements to Luo Shixin, and knew their marching speed well.

Until Goguryeo was twenty miles away from them, Luo Shixin received news that the entire Goguryeo army was slowing down.

As soon as the news reached Luo Shixin, Luo Shixin did not hesitate for a moment and beat the drums and gathered the generals, dividing 30,000 soldiers and horses into three routes: Li Daozong led 5,000 soldiers and horses as the left wing, Guoyi's commander Ma Wen led 5,000 soldiers and horses as the right wing, and the rest were the central army, and followed him to march quickly towards Goguryeo.

Twenty thousand troops moved together and arrived in front of the reinforcements in Goguryeo in one breath.

It was noon and the sun was shining!

On the first sunny day after the heavy rain, the sun seemed particularly bright. Goguryeo had already received news from the Tang army at the other end of the horizon. They chose to arrange an array in a wide field, intending to maximize their large soldiers. The 35,000 troops were arranged into neat square formations, and the bright spears shone brightly under the sunlight and were magnificent.

Luo Shixin looked at the Goguryeo reinforcements who were waiting for the battle in front of him, and without saying a word, he still allowed the soldiers to approach the front until one mile away.

Luo Shixin directly looked at the charge drum. He did not say any tactics or style of play, but shouted among the crowd: "A group of unobstructed miscellaneous people are coming, and the soldiers follow me to crush them..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already led the 10,000-strong team of the central army to rush forward, as if he was brainless as a reckless man.

The reinforcements and blocking battle kicked off with such unexpected and anxiousness.

Luo Shixin's front part was two groups, one was the three thousand cavalry led by him personally, and the seven thousand Tang army infantry led by Mo Hu'er was followed by the seven thousand Tang army infantry temporarily led by Mo Hu'er.

Faced with Luo Shixin's sudden killing, the middle and rear of the Goguryeo military formation changed. Thousands of archers moved closer. They quickly bent their bows and shot arrows. When Luo Shixin rushed into the land of an arrow, they released the bowstring...

The Goguryeo people are good at shooting because they are located in a place that is backed by mountains and water, and belongs to the semi-fishing and hunting nation. Bows and arrows are their strengths. Even the grassland nations are inferior to them in terms of archery.

The dense arrow feathers were pressing towards Luo Shixin like dark clouds, dense and powerful.

Luo Shixin had a way to deal with the bow attack, hanging the cloak on a spear and turning it violently. The huge cloak seemed to form a wall of energy under his dancing, blocking all arrows within a foot of meter outside. Not only did he protect himself, but the soldiers beside him were also protected. However, with his hand, the soldiers who were protecting were in a few.

The enemy outside the cloak was still shot by arrow feathers.

Some of the hundreds of Tang cavalrymen who rushed to the front were caught in several arrows in an instant, while others fell off their horses without even saying a word.

The quality of the Tang army was also clearly visible at this moment. The soldiers who were caught in the arrow did not slow down their speed. They held the reins with one hand and raised their arms high, protecting the door with the iron wrist guards on their arms, habitually putting the weapon in their mouths, and stretching out their hand to break the arrow feathers inserted on their bodies. In the process, they did not slow down their speed. Those who did not hit the arrow flew even more happily: because they knew that this wave of arrow feathers did not shoot them, and they might not have the luck in the next wave. The best way to avoid arrow feathers is not to escape, but to get close! Therefore, they did not shrink and strive for the first place.

Faced with such a desperate sprint from the Tang army, Goguryeo's archer battalion had no time to shoot out the second wave of arrow feathers, and Luo Shixin had already faced their dense gun array first.

The gun array as stable as Mount Tai poses great threat to the cavalry attacking at full speed!

Luo Shixin knew this well and jumped out alone when the Tang army cavalry approached a hundred steps.

Under Luo Shixin's unintentional training, Chi Piao's explosive power was particularly terrifying. The distance between a hundred steps was in the blink of an eye. The spear was slid forward with force. The cloak tied to the spear head wrapped around the dozens of spears blocking his horse. The tip of the spear was lifted, and dozens of spears came out of their hands and rushed into the sky.

Without the stopping of the spear tip, Luo Shixin did not hesitate to cut into the enemy formation for a moment. He did not forcefully tear a hole in the enemy formation as before, but instead rushed left and right in front of him, causing the front row of pirates to mess up.

As soon as he sprinted, the cavalrymen were disturbed by the gun formation, which was not enough to threaten them. They were encouraged and accelerated the sprint. After a few breaths, the Tang army cavalry wedged into the Goguryeo gun formation.

weak!

This is the only feeling that the reinforcements from Goguryeo fought for the first time.

Goguryeo is really weak?

Actually, it is not the case!

Luo Shixin's tactics without tactics are precisely the best tactics...

It directly reduces Goguryeo's combat effectiveness by half... (To be continued, please search Piaotianyi, novels are better, updated and faster!
