Li Zhi and Li Hong put down the binoculars in their hands almost at the same time, and looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. One's eyes were full of shock and dissatisfaction, while the other's eyes were full of amusement. With interest.
"Hey, that's interesting. I actually want to capture the thief and capture the king." Li Hong's tone was relaxed, but the murderous look in his eyes was getting stronger and stronger.
"Are you stupid? What did I just say? Now they are coming to destroy the city. Let's see what you do!" Li Zhi was very depressed. He originally thought that victory was already within easy reach, but who knew that such a terrible thing would appear.
"You just warned me to be careful of Gao Zang and others, and you didn't say to be careful of Silla and Baekje outside the city, especially this Silla general. I don't know who this general is. It's kind of interesting. He actually arrived after the army collapsed. At this stage, he can still maintain a calm and clear mind, which is worthy of respect, but he is a bit old." Li Hong picked up the telescope and looked at Wen Junjie who was rushing towards him again, and said with admiration.
Li Zhi also picked up the telescope again. When he saw someone rushing in this direction, he put down the telescope, so even the general couldn't see clearly who it was.
At this time, after hearing Li Hong's words, he picked up his telescope and looked for the generals in the group of people. At the same time, he replied to Li Hong's words: "Don't mess around. The war is now at a critical juncture. Isn't it a time when others' ambitions can destroy your own prestige?" !”
Li Hong ignored Father Long's scolding, looked at the about a thousand people who were attacking, and said to Hua Meng: "How many soldiers are there in the city? Gather them immediately. By the way, don't worry about those people. Gather them together." stand up."
Li Hong was talking about the more than a hundred soldiers from the Pagoda Camp who were originally supervising Gao Zang and others. At this time, Gao Zang and others were already stupid and had no idea of daring to resist the Tang Dynasty. At this moment, only One of his thoughts was: 'Fortunately, I didn't resist the Tang Dynasty too hard, otherwise, I'm afraid... if I add the unique Tianlei of the Tang Dynasty...'. '
Gao Zang stood on the top of the city, his face getting paler and paler. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, to the point where he started to sweat coldly. He has no desire to resist the Tang Dynasty anymore. As for whether he can keep his throne, he has no desire now. Now he just hopes not to be captured by the Tang Dynasty and returned to Chang'an.
"So it's him?" Li Zhi didn't hear much about what Li Hong said to Hua Meng just now. Instead, he kept searching for the general with a telescope, so now he murmured to himself after seeing the general.
Li Hong, who had just taken two steps and was about to meet the enemy in person, stopped after hearing what his father Long said, turned around and asked: "Do you still know people from Silla? Have you ever been to Silla in these years?" General?"
"I met him in the early years. It was a long time ago. He was not that old at that time. In the 22nd year of Zhenguan, he followed Jin Chunqiu to Chang'an, so I still have some impressions of him. He seemed to be called... Mr. Wen is an important minister of Jin Chunqiu, and this person should not be underestimated." Li Zhi put down the telescope and said calmly.
The reason why he can remember the era so clearly is not because of how good Li Zhi's memory is, but because he inherited the throne after Li Shimin's death in the 23rd year of Zhenguan. In this way, he didn't want to remember this. Things are more difficult throughout the year.
Therefore, it was reasonable that he could easily tell the year when Wen Junjie came to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Hong nodded thoughtfully. He originally thought that his father Long had some interaction with these people, but he didn't expect that it was only because of such an important event of the era that he remembered this Wen Jun... something.
After counting the number of people, even Li Hong felt a bit toothache. It turned out that in the entire Liujing City, there were only more than 200 and less than 300 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty that could be put together!
And looking at their strength, it is estimated that they are at least around 1,230 to 1,500 people. To stop them from attacking the city with 300 people, isn't it a bit like using a mantis' arm as a chariot
But if they were allowed to attack the city, even though the Goguryeo people on the wall could resist it, the face of the Tang Dynasty would be ruined, and it would make people think that the Tang Dynasty was not invincible.
Therefore, no matter what, Li Hong had to go out of the city to face the enemy. Although he was a realist, at this time, in front of the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, if he did not go out of the city to face the enemy, after winning this battle, he would still It will leave a lucky gap in the hearts of the Three Kingdoms.
It will make them think that the Tang army is not invincible, but can still be defeated with traces. Therefore, in order to prevent this gap from being noticed by others, Li Hong must lead his troops out of the city to fight.
Only with patient explanations and absolute guarantees did Li Zhi allow Li Hong to go out of the city to meet the enemy, but at the same time, Li Zhi also called Gao Zang to his side, with Yang Wu and Lian Tie protecting him on the left and right.
Gao Zang, on the other hand, needs to be ready to convey the orders of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty at any time, which is to order the people of Goguryeo to go out of the city to rescue the Prince of Tang Dynasty!
The city gate opened, and a group of three hundred riders quickly left the city. After leaving the city, for the first time, the city gate behind them was not closed again, and the two gates were still wide open without any defense.
In Li Hong's hands, the horse is no longer just dragged on the ground like it was when he was a child. Although his horse is not as powerful as some soldiers, it relies on his height and long arms. Dancing on horseback is also a powerful and domineering killing move!
The cavalry of less than 300 people needs to use speed to attack the enemy on the opposite side. Cavalry charging each other is a conventional warfare in this era, and it is much less dangerous than cavalry attacking infantry.
In particular, the light cavalry will never charge the infantry camp with a complete cavalry team, nor is it like the movies and TV shows in the previous life, where the cavalry rushes into the infantry camp and then dances with guns and sticks on horseback to kill them. The enemy cried and screamed, holding their heads and running away.
On a real battlefield, if you dare to charge the infantry camp with light cavalry, then the cavalry general is either out of his mind or a complete fool.
War horses are human beings. According to the theory of relativity, they are naturally afraid of people. Therefore, when a war horse rushes into the infantry camp, it is impossible for the horse's hooves to volley to repel the enemy. Instead, it will only be surrounded by the infantry. When the war horse is frightened or attacked by the infantry, When injured, the soldier on horseback has only one way to die. When he rolls off the horse, he will be stabbed into an ants' nest by other people's spears and spears.
What's more, the most natural advantage of the light cavalry is naturally its mobility. It would be strange to take advantage of it by sacrificing mobility, the most important advantage, and then engage in sword and gun battles with the enemy.
Therefore, charging infantry or barracks are generally luxuries of this era. They are the only ones who can do the job of fully armored heavy cavalry. After rushing into the infantry camp, they are not afraid of knife cuts, spear thrusts, and flying arrows. Only then can he overthrow the infantry with his heavy strength.
There is naturally a reason why Li Hong dares to attack, and that is the range of the crossbow. With this advantage, at least when he is shooting, others can't reach him.
The crossbow is now the standard equipment of every light cavalry or heavy cavalry. When they collided head-on with Wen Junjie's troops, the crossbow in his hand was naturally reflexively held in his hand.
As the saying goes, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. At this moment, both Wen Junjie and Li Hong knew that the charge of the two teams of cavalry, when the crossbows ran out, was a matter of breath. Who can charge in front of the other party? Still maintaining the vitality of Changhong, without a trace of retreating momentum, then whoever has the absolute initiative in this charge will have the absolute initiative.
Naturally, this can only be done when the disparity in military strength is not very large.
The crossbow arrows quickly formed a black net in front of the cavalry led by Wen Junjie, and the whistling sound caused by piercing the air made people's hearts tremble. Wen Junjie held the reins in one hand and waved the long knife in his other hand to block the flying arrows.
The weak arrows either fell to the ground or lost their strength and hit the body of the deputy general next to them. Only a small part of them could pass through the first row of their cavalry and fall from a high altitude to cause some damage to the cavalry behind them.
Wen Junjie's face was solemn. At this time, he was no longer as good as he was back then. He was able to gallop so skillfully and quickly on a horse with just one breath. When he heard the screams of people turning on their backs and horses falling from behind, he could only hold on. The scalp continues to push forward.
They had already finished shooting the bows and arrows, and now they were just relying on their speed and skillful equestrian skills to avoid the arrows fired by hundreds of people from the Tang Dynasty on horseback. The originally neat formation behind them was also interrupted by the crossbows. Get loose.
Li Hong had a ferocious look on his face and stared closely at the old man with a white beard who was rushing at the front. He knew that Mr. Wen was the backbone of these cavalrymen. As long as he killed him, the cavalrymen behind him would be left to be slaughtered. It's my share.
"Kill!" The horse in Li Hong's hand shook in the air, and he roared angrily. He let go of the reins, held the horse tightly with both hands, and rushed towards Wen Junjie on the opposite side.
"Kill!" Wen Junjie slowed down his horse, and the deputy generals on his left and right took two steps together. Just when the two armies were about to meet as soldiers, they suddenly protected Wen Junjie behind him.
Although they were protected behind them, the speed of Silla's entire cavalry did not slow down at all. Obviously, this familiar strategy was carefully designed by them to protect the elderly Wen Junjie for a long time.
This kind of design may still work against other people, but it will naturally be of no use against Li Hong. After all, Li Hong is flanked by two masters in the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty!
Hua Meng and Jingzhe were in front, Cheetah and Mang Zhong were behind. The four of them were always in front, left and right, trying to put Li Hong in a position where he would not be easily attacked by others, but His Highness the Crown Prince would be easily attacked by others.
Ma Li danced in the air with a burst of bright rotten silver flowers. The nearly one meter long sharp blade was swung by Li Hong and passed straight through. Suddenly, Wen Junjie was protected between the two lieutenants behind and swept away. In the first block, he avoided the obstruction of Silla's deputy general who blocked Ma Shan from passing through.
The war horse under his crotch continued to fly forward, and as for the two Silla lieutenants who were less than five steps closer to his body, Li Hong didn't even pay attention to it. He quickly withdrew the horse in his hand to make room for Hua Meng. With Jingzhe.
And he himself was in the midst of the electric light and flint, twisting his waist to gather strength, and thrust out the horse spear in his hand with force again. The two lieutenants of Silla beside him were already entangled by Hua Meng and Jingzhe.
In front of Li Hong's eyes, only Wen Junjie's face was shocked. Before Wen Junjie could hold a knife to block him, he felt a hot pain in his chest. His arms suddenly became unable to lift. That suddenly appeared in front of him. The young man picked up the horse with all his strength. Wen Junjie felt that he could not help but fly off the horse's back. The horse in front of him was picking him up and throwing him to the side.
