Chapter 22 Break the jar

There is only a line between the battle formation and victory or defeat.

The winner is often able to grasp the existence on that line.

Mencius said: The time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people. Few people really know what the original meaning of this sentence is. Most of his existence is quoted on the battlefield, which makes sense.

The situation facing the Tang Dynasty now is that there is no time, no place, and no people.

Liaodong is bitter and cold, and it is not extremely difficult for locals to adapt. Most of the soldiers of the Tang army were from Guanzhong, so there was no time. Goguryeo was on the defensive stance, occupying the city in front and there were reinforcements, and the Tang Dynasty had no geographical advantage. As for people's hearts, Goguryeo occupied Liaodong for more than two hundred years. The people in the territory have been accepting the control of Goguryeo for more than two hundred years and brainwashed by Goguryeo culture. They said how much they yearned for the Central Plains and believed that their Central Plains people were all empty. It cannot be said that there were no patriots who wanted to return to the Central Plains, but there were inevitably many people who had subtly regarded themselves as Goguryeo people, and regarded the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses as foreign enemies, and the people's hearts were unknown.

The most critical issue is the issue of military strength. Yang Guang's tyranny caused the world's population to drop by three-quarters, resulting in a serious shortage of population in the Tang Dynasty. In ancient times, the shortage of population would lead to a series of problems, such as economy, food, etc., and the military's strength would be no exception.

Luo Shixin now has only 20,000 troops available. In the face of various unfavorable factors, only by seizing that little fighter opportunity can he turn the world around.

Goguryeo dispatched troops from the local area to support Liaodong, and traveled a long distance, which was extremely exhausted. Luo Shixin also reported false news, tempting Goguryeo reinforcements to speed up the marching speed and increase the physical energy of the reinforcements. However, the Tang army was resting on the spot, waiting for labor.

The Tang army has been raising energy and has always maintained its combat power and fighting will to maintain its peak state, one will rise and fall. Goguryeo's combat power willpower is inevitably consumed with the consumption of physical strength.

If the reinforcements from Goguryeo have more day off, the soldiers will get enough rest and set aside, which will be another situation.

But it was obvious that Luo Shixin's grasp of the battle situation would not give up the advantage of getting it. When he learned that Goguryeo wanted to stop moving forward, he launched a nearly reckless attack without hesitation.

He did not give Goguryeo's reinforcements a chance to rest for a moment, and forced them to set up a formation with fatigue to wait for the arrival of the Tang army.

The military formation of Goguryeo is indeed magnificent, but Luo Shixin knew that this was an illusion. Goguryeo soldiers were not iron-clad, and no matter how strong the soldiers were, they had a limit on their physical strength. Now they were just struggling and supported by one breath. As long as they interrupted that stubbornness, the reinforcements would be defeated.

Luo Shixin's almost barbaric fighting style is actually in line with the purpose of military strategy.

This journey of fatigue has been stalemate with the retention gurus, and the outcome is obvious.

However, Luo Shixin's first wave of sprints has already gained a certain advantage.

As the commander of the three armies, Luo Shixin had a rare chance to go into battle. At this moment, he rushed to the front line again. He felt that there were enemies around him: he entered martial arts with his killing and martial arts, and his martial arts were all honed on the battlefield. Although he arrived at the realm of transformation, he did not need to be honed on the battlefield. However, when he returned to the battlefield, the long-lost feeling of killing surged in his heart, like a tiger coming out of a cage. The blood in his body boiled.

"Those who advance live, those who retreat die. Follow me to kill!" Luo Shixin shouted, and the spear in his hand spiraled and flew. He roared and urged the horse forward!

The silver-white spear was like the sickle of the God of Death, shattering several layers of people in front of them, killing all enemies between two feet apart, forming an area vacuum within the attack range. Within the true space distance, any enemy entering the attack range will definitely be killed with one blow!

"Haha! The lord is showing his power. Brothers follow the most powerful general of the Tang Dynasty and crush the Goguryeo miscellaneous!" Mo Hu'er was promoted by Luo Shixin. He is alert enough and often can cooperate with Luo Shixin's fighting style.

Luo Shixin has the courage of a king and has the strength to drive mountains and rivers, but in a battlefield with more than 10,000 people, there is really little room for personal courage. However, as long as the soldiers cooperate, the results of Luo Shixin's power and the expansion of the results will shake the entire battle situation.

Luo Shixin did not lead his Jiesheng Army. The Jiesheng Army and Luo Shixin cooperated with each other. They could seize this opportunity, but the three thousand cavalry led by Luo Shixin did not have this awareness. They were brave and they would be inferior in cooperation.

This is also helpless. The Jiesheng Army has the combat power to turn the world around. Luo Shixin still keeps his hands on it in case.

The three thousand cavalry could not cooperate with Luo Shixin, but Mo Hu'er was aware of this. Seeing Luo Shixin's power showing great power, breaking through multiple layers of crowds, and shaking the enemy's internal turmoil. He encouraged morale without hesitation and rushed to the front of the formation impatiently. The other soldiers saw that the commander of the three armies was brave enough to ignore their lives and were so brave that they were all very encouraged.

With the support of the infantry, Luo Shixin led the middle army to advance layer by layer, directly defeating Goguryeo's soldiers step by step.

Goguryeo General Gao Tubo stood on a high hill on the east side and looked down at the battlefield, catching the current unoptimistic situation in Goguryeo.

The terrain of this area is relatively broad, with a low terrain in the west and high in the east. If you choose this place to fight, you can take advantage of the two advantages of standing up, fighting with high and defeating the Tang army far away from the Tang army. The most important reason for choosing this terrain is to let the Tang army retreat and give up their idea of ​​attacking. He had already received news from the Tang army, and saw that the Tang army blocked the necessary road for their reinforcements to Jian'an, and thought that the Tang army's purpose was to stop them from supporting Jian'an and Liaodong. He never thought that the Tang army would attack directly, and fought so resolutely, without hesitation at all, resulting in no time to rest.

Originally, he thought that even if they were physically inferior to each other, his troops were firmly superior, and he had a little bit of a good position to win. Only in this confrontation did he find that the combat power of the Tang army soldiers was far beyond his expectations, especially the person who was like an evil star, who just messed up his gun array alone, easily tearing and destroying his formation.

"He is Luo Shixin! The demon who killed the military god!"

Even now, there are still legends of demons coming to the Central Plains killing their Goguryeo savior, the military god Eji Wende...

Gao Tubo had never met Luo Shixin, nor did he know Luo Shixin, but he looked at the evil star who came and went freely on the battlefield and chopped brave soldiers into ducks, the three words Luo Shixin instinctively came to his mind.

Looking at the legendary character, a feeling of powerlessness appeared: the battle reached this point, and it was already suppressed by strength. Faced with Luo Shixin's fierce attack, it was only a matter of time before the collapse of the central army was completed.

At this time, his face was like an ancient cypress, and he could not see any change in expression, but he was secretly anxious.

The initial battle has already been exhausted, and the problems with the soldiers' physical strength will be reflected. The gap between the two sides will grow bigger and bigger, and the Tang army will eventually defeat it.

This defeated the Tang army, and the situation he would never be able to bear.

The Tang soldiers took Liaoshui without bloodshed. The speed and effect of the attack were beyond Goguryeo's expectations. None of the whole country expected Goguryeo that Goguryeo's defense was the best general, Yuan Binzhi, who had once defeated Yang Guang's millions of troops, could not withstand the attack of the Tang army. The Great Wall, which was carefully built for ten years, did not achieve any effect, and there was a certain delay in the dispatch of troops to support. The 35,000 he led was the only army that could have time to support Liaodong in the near future. If he was defeated, it would be impossible for reinforcements to support Liaodong in the short term.

Once Liaodong is gained by the Tang Dynasty, it is not easy to retake it.

But he really couldn't think of a strategy to deal with this suppression of strength.

"General, I have tried my best, I can't resist it!" A retreating general covered his broken arm, blood flowing like a ox, panting like a cow, and on the back of a horse, his whole body was shaking.

Gao Tubo was silent, and the general who spoke was the number one strong general under his command. Because the middle lane was tight, he specially sent him to stabilize the situation. Gao Quan bravely killed six Tang cavalry for the first time when he contacted the Tang army, and temporarily stabilized his retreat. However, before they had gained a foothold, Luo Shixin noticed the situation first and led his troops to kill. In just one round, Gao Quan's arm cut off. Gao Quan's personal guards took more than fifty lives before barely robbing Gao Quan back and protecting his life.

Gao Tubo looked at Gao Quan in grief, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said sternly: "If you can't stop it, I won't stop it. I face Luo Shixin today and admit defeat. I will hold it back for me in the middle. I will delay it whenever I can. The left and right wings attack with all their strength, break through the Tang army's defense line, and run towards Jian'an City. I don't believe in this evil. I can eat all my 35,000 troops. It's good to be able to rush out of five thousand."

With no choice, Gao Tubo immediately became angry and broke the can.

It has to be said that this forced gamble has achieved unexpected results.

The right-wing army of the Tang army showed a slight fluctuation.

Facing Goguryeo's commander, Ma Wenju, strengthened the offensive between the left and right wings, raised his head indifferently and laughed: "How can you show a hero if you don't meet a strong enemy? The soldiers, follow me to kill you!"

Ma Wenju was originally a general of the Sui Dynasty, a general in the Xiaoguo army of the Sui Dynasty. He was extremely brave and martial. He gave Goguryeo's breakthrough soldiers a head-on attack, and directly broke a wave of Goguryeo's soldiers from the middle and broke into two strands. The soldiers above and below Goguryeo received special instructions. The soldiers divided into two waves did not cooperate with each other, but broke forward without thinking.

Inspired by survival, these two strands of Goguryeo soldiers rarely burst out with a strong fighting will, chaotic and fierce.

The Tang army did not have an advantage in its military strength. The marching general Zhang Junyi faced the mad dog-like counterattack, unable to withstand the pressure, retreated and directly sold the brave Ma Wenju in front. The right wing had a faint crisis of collapse. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
