Chapter 141 Li Guang and Di Qing who got into trouble (one hundred(1/2)
"The cavalry of the Tang Army came to call for formation again!"
On the fifth day of the Anshi City battlefield, the Turkic prince Ashina Sheer led the Tang army's cavalry to challenge the Goguryeo army on the opposite side for three consecutive days.
Except for calling out the formation on the first day and killing thousands of Goguryeo cavalry, Goguryeo did not dare to engage in battle and simply refused to move out.
"Goguryeo is already timid. If Qin Qiong were still alive, Cheng Zhijie, and Yuchi Jingde were young and strong, their performance would probably be even better than that of the Turkic prince Ashina Sheer."
When Chu Tian saw Ashina Sheer relying on the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, he was so majestic that he couldn't help but want to step forward and call for battle.
He also has two military generals in his hands, and their performance may not be worse than that of the Turkic princes.
"Li Guang, you bring a dozen cavalrymen who are good at riding and shooting across the river to provoke."
Chutian sent Li Guang, the most powerful man, to follow the example of the Tang army and provoke Goguryeo.
"The last general takes command!"
Li Guang selected thirteen cavalrymen who were good at shooting and led them across the river from the pontoon bridge upstream to challenge.
"Di Qing, you go too."
Prince Yan saw that Chu Tian had sent Li Guang and was unwilling to be followed, so he sent the famous Song Dynasty general Di Qing.
Di Qing led a dozen Youzhou cavalrymen and followed Li Guang.
Chu Tian, Prince Yan and other lords were watching the battle on the other side of the river.
The two generals under their command were confident, so they dared to let them play.
Li Guang rode a Turkic war horse exchanged from the Tang army's quartermaster, holding a long bow, and showed off his power in front of the Goguryeo army.
Di Qing put on a bronze mask, with disheveled hair, and held a big knife in his hand.
This time it was not the Tang army who provoked, but the Eastern Han lord's generals who called the formation.
"Korea Bangzi, come out and challenge!"
Li Guang, under Chu Tian's instruction, used words that could anger the Goryeo lord to insult him.
There are different civilizations in "Lord" with hundreds of languages, so there is an auxiliary system. Although the other party does not speak Chinese, they can understand it.
The lords of Goryeo were immediately offended when they heard Li Guang insulting them as sticks.
The Turkic prince came with two thousand Tang troops to call for formation, but two young generals from the opposing lord came with only twenty cavalry to insult him.
"How dare you scold us and kill them!"
Finally, a Goryeo lord could no longer hold himself back and sent hundreds of cavalry out to hunt down Li Guang and Di Qing.
This time the ratio between the two sides is twenty to one, so it’s impossible to lose, right?
A Goryeo cavalry general brandished a broadsword and said, "I am Goryeo General Song Rulong!"
"If General Song Rulong takes action, the other side will definitely be defeated. Their lord dares to underestimate our Goryeo, which is intolerable."
The Goryeo lord clenched his fists. The lord of the Donghan District opposite them looked down upon them so much that they simply did not take them into consideration.
After all, Goryeo is a thousand-year civilization that has experienced the rule of several complete kingdoms.
Goryeo General Song Rulong clamped his horse's belly tightly. There were four hundred Goryeo cavalry beside him and behind him. Facing the black cloud-like Goryeo cavalry, the opponent should turn around and flee.
However, what surprised Song Rulong was that the two fierce generals Li Guang and Di Qing not only refused to leave, but almost simultaneously bent their bows and nocked arrows at the cavalry general on the opposite side!
Two sharp arrows shot Song Rulong one after another.
Di Qing's arrow pierced Song Rulong's shoulder, and the impact shook his shoulder, while Li Guang's arrow had already penetrated Song Rulong's throat!
Song Rulong fell from his horse, and the four hundred Goryeo cavalry were shocked.
Li Guang continued to bend his bow and shot sharp arrows three times in a row, and two more cavalrymen were killed.
Di Qing saw that his archery skills were not as good as Li Guang's, so he simply picked up a bent sword. This kind of long-handled sword has a sharp front edge and a wide slant back, which is somewhat similar to the Yanyue Sword.
"kill!"
Di Qing led a dozen Youzhou cavalry to attack, not retreating but advancing!
The Youzhou cavalry plunged into the Goryeo cavalry. Di Qing's hair was disheveled and his bronze mask was extremely ferocious. He looked like an evil ghost from hell, killing the oncoming Goryeo cavalry head-on!
The morale of the Goryeo cavalry was greatly damaged and they fell into chaos, but Li Guang was still calmly shooting the Goryeo cavalry on the opposite side.
"Once Di Qing launches a charge, the morale of the opponent will drop."
Di Qing's lord, Prince Yan, saw his generals performing bravely, and he knew Di Qing's abilities very well.
"It just happened to cooperate with Li Guang."
Chu Tian thought that Li Guang could lower the morale of the aliens and increase the damage to the aliens. Fighting side by side with Di Qing, the morale of the other side was suddenly hit hard.
In ancient battles, brave generals and soldiers could indeed frighten the enemy. For example, the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom were invincible, and the Song Dynasty suffered from mountain changes and the Yue Family Army.
Facing these elites, the opponent's military morale has been shaken before the battle.
Sometimes, all it takes is a reputation.
"Li Guang's archery skills are better."
Prince Yan and other lords were shocked when they discovered that Li Guang shot more than a dozen arrows in one breath, with a hit rate of over 70%.
Li Guang led a dozen light cavalry while riding and shooting while Di Qing rushed back and forth in the enemy formation, killing more than a dozen cavalry in a row, which was unstoppable!
Two Goryeo cavalrymen armed with spears simultaneously stabbed Di Qing, who was killing everyone.
Di Qing dodged two spears, clamped the spears with his right arm, and chopped down a Goryeo cavalryman and horse with his broadsword!
The army was in chaos, and the four hundred Korean cavalry were already on the verge of collapse.
Di Qing dashed left and right among the rebels. A spear was stabbed into the armor on his back, and blood seeped out.
Another sharp arrow hit Di Qing, but was blocked by the armor and hung on Di Qing's body. Di Qing was still full of arrogance and cut off the head of a war horse with one knife!
It's so cruel...
Chu Tian saw Di Qing's ferocious performance. This guy was able to kill people and horses. He was indeed a fierce warrior, but he didn't have many opportunities to perform in history.
Chu Tian was shocked by Di Qing's performance, but the other lords were surprised by Li Guang's archery skills.
Li Guang had already killed more than twenty Goryeo cavalrymen.
Li Guang was not injured at all, and he was able to kill hundreds of people with a bow and arrow.
Four hundred Goryeo cavalry generals were shot and killed, and Li Guang and Di Qing killed each other's majesty, and morale collapsed completely.
"Eulji Mundeok, lead the cavalry to support."
The Goguryeo lord Choi Jae-seon sent the Goguryeo general Eulji Mundeok who had defeated the Sui army.
A young general was ordered to attack, and a thousand Goguryeo cavalry rushed out from the Goguryeo army.
"The momentum of this Goryeo cavalry seems to be a little different."
On the other side of the river, Chu Tian, Prince Yan, Gong Ziwen, Xue Yue and others noticed that the temperament of the Goryeo cavalry had completely changed.
The momentum of the army is invisible, but it can give people a sense of oppression. Based on the sense of oppression, you can roughly judge whether the opponent is a ragtag group or an elite division.
According to historical facts, the Goryeo cavalry led by military generals were very different in terms of their momentum and military discipline.
"Mingjin withdraws the troops."
Chu Tian did not dare to take risks with Li Guang this time, so he retreated across the river and sent troops.
It would not be a problem for Li Guang to bully a small group of cavalry, but if the opponent is pursued by thousands of cavalry and there is a historical military general on the other side, then Li Guang might be captured.
Li Guang heard Ming Jin's order to withdraw his troops and saw that Di Qing was still trapped in the enemy's formation. He drew out the Huanshou sword from his waist and rushed into the Goryeo cavalry to rescue Di Qing.
Although Li Guang often played with long bows, as a flying general in the Han Dynasty, he was extremely skilled in the Huanshou Sword in the Han Dynasty. He wielded the Huanshou Sword with his long and thick arms and could kill a Goryeo cavalryman with one blow.
The Goryeo cavalry gave way one after another, and Li Guang and Di Qing met up. The two broke out and led the cavalry to retreat.
"The opponent is a historical general from the Eastern Han Dynasty. If you kill them, their vitality will be severely damaged!"
The Goryeo lords did not care about fairness at this time. The performance of Li Guang and Di Qing made them realize that this was a good opportunity to kill the heroes of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"kill!"
Thousands of Goryeo cavalry came out in full force. Li Guang and Di Qing seemed to have stung a hornet's nest and were collectively hunted down by the Goryeo cavalry.
Eulji Munde's cavalry took the lead in charging ahead. Under Eulji Wende's command, they circled left and right in an attempt to outflank Li Guang and Di Qing.
"Let's go to support!"
Chu Tian realized that he had overplayed his game, and the patience of the Goryeo lords was limited. They were repeatedly provoked, and had the opportunity to kill the heroes of the Eastern Han Dynasty. They wanted to kill Li Guang and Di Qing in one fell swoop, no matter how many chances they got.
If Li Guang and Di Qing want to escape back, they must reach the floating bridge upstream.
"What happened?"
Li Ji, the commander-in-chief of the 100,000-strong Tang Army, was inspecting the camp when he noticed a commotion on the opposite side.
"General, a lord has come to provoke the Goguryeo army. Goguryeo has at least tens of thousands of cavalry going to fight."
"Oh? The Goguryeo army stood firm and refused to fight yesterday. Unexpectedly, they were successfully provoked by the lords who came to support them."
"The lord only sent a few dozen cavalry across the river, and they were being chased by the opponent at this time."
