Chapter 63 Another Fleet
"Boom~" The Tang Dynasty cavalry was like a black magma, and they collided with the pale Goguryeo soldiers on the beach. In the blink of an eye, it caused a bloody storm. Countless heads and limbs were flying in the sky, intertwining into a bloody and gorgeous picture.
The Goguryeo soldiers who had just arrived ashore and were in a scattered formation, facing the Tang cavalry that had already raised their horse speed to the limit, it can be said that they had no ability to resist at all. In their eyes, these cavalry were like the god of death waving a sickle. Each wave of attacks would take away the lives of countless companions...
"Form a formation, quickly form a formation for me!" The young general who had just become the highest commander of this Goguryeo unit shouted loudly. The cavalry was originally the natural enemy of infantry, and the only way to confrontation was to form a close military formation, with shields and spears standing outside. When the cavalry could not attack, they would naturally retreat.
However, the Goguryeo troops that had just arrived ashore had been disrupted and had no effective command at all. All soldiers were like headless flies, either dying in groups of three or five, or throwing down their weapons and running away with their heads. No one paid attention to the orders of the young general. He was so angry that he drew his sword and slashed the heads of several escaped people, but it was still useless.
Just when the young general was helpless, he suddenly heard screams and fractures behind him, and at the same time, a roar like thunder was getting closer and closer. When he lifted the knife, he saw a giant riding on a horse rushing towards him. Although there were countless Goguryeo soldiers in front of him, they were swept a bloody path by the other party in the blink of an eye, and then a black iron stick stained with minced meat was smashed down with the evil wind. He instinctively raised the knife in his hand to block it, but after hearing the "click", he felt a heat on his head and no longer felt anything.
"Your Highness has an order, no one will be left!" After Aunt Hu smashed the Goguryeo general to death with a stick, she immediately roared to the sky and the cavalry behind her took the order loudly. She waved the horse spear in her hand and flew past the Goguryeo soldiers who were hugging like the wind. Every time they handed over, a few strands of blood floated behind them, and at the same time, several corpses fell on the beach.
There was no suspense at all when the three thousand cavalry faced the five thousand infantrymen who had no preparations. In addition to massacre, it was also massacre.
Li Yan originally wanted to learn from the TV series, take the lead, lead by example, and it would be best to kill several enemies with your own hands, so that he could better reflect his heroism. However, there were often huge gaps between ideals and reality. The three hundred royal guards around him formed a circle and protected him tightly in the center. There were several guards in front of him holding tall shields, almost covering his whole body. Even when the horses under him ran at high speed, the formation was not messy at all.
Such a tight escort, Li Yan's safety was of course nothing to say, but in this way, he couldn't even see the battle situation ahead, let alone killing the enemy. Many dizzy Goguryeo soldiers were strangled by the outer guards before they could rush over. They died miserably.
For example, Li Yan saw a dozen Goguryeo soldiers blocking their way forward. Three guards urged them to move forward and rushed forward. The horse spears were rushing in the front guard's hand. It seemed like the spring breeze of the necks of several Goguryeo soldiers who wanted to resist, and then a burst of blood was spurted out. Several corpses fell into dust. It was obviously killing people, but it looked like an extremely clever skill. The two guards behind did not have such clever skills. They picked the horse spears in their hands, and relied on the long horse's weapons and picked the other people to death in a few strokes, and blood was sprayed everywhere.
Looking at the real and cruel battlefield in front of him, Li Yan felt that his blood was starting to boil. The man had an instinct of courage and fierceness, and blood was the catalyst for stimulating this instinct.
"Bastard, leave me one for me, I want to kill someone too!" Li Yan felt that his whole body was full of tyrannical instinct. Only by killing someone could he release him, so he yelled at the guards outside.
The guards were stunned when they heard Li Yan's words, but this was not a big deal. If they didn't kill people on the battlefield, would it be called a battlefield? So an escort immediately made a gap and released a Goguryeo soldier who had been scared in. However, for safety, the guards deliberately knocked out the opponent's weapons.
Li Yan had been impatient for a long time. When he saw the other party, he immediately rushed up with a horse spear. However, the other party suddenly woke up and turned around to dodge. As a result, Li Yan was about to stab the other party in the chest, but suddenly stabbed the shoulder. At the same time, the other party was also hit by the blow.
Li Yan returned to the horse and continued to stab him again, but he didn't know whether it was because he was too nervous or because the other party's potential burst out when he was dying. No matter how he stabbed him, he could not hit the opponent's vital point. As a result, after a long time, Li Yan was exhausted and sweating all over his body, and blood was sprayed everywhere, but the other party was still jumping and stamina.
The guards around him covered their mouths and laughed. Now Li Yan couldn't hold on to his face anymore, so he simply stopped stabbing it. He grabbed the horse spear as a stick, used all his strength to feed his breasts, and smashed it hard on the helmet on the back of the head. This worked. I don't know if the other party fainted or died, but he was lying on the ground and still moving.
"What do you think? Kill me for no one!" Li Yan wiped the blood on his face. Although it was a little disgusting, after experiencing this farce-like murder experience, he felt even more excited. Could it be that he was a natural murderer?
Yuan Jingtu on the ship looked at the drastic changes in front of him, and a mouthful of blood was spurted out. Five thousand elite soldiers had been massacred in just a short while, and the massacre was still continuing. In addition, there was no cover on the beach, and the soldiers on the land had nowhere to hide. Even if they fled to the sea, they could not escape the fast horses and were stabbed to death one by one.
"Shoot the arrow! Shoot them to death!" Although Yuan Jingtu vomited blood in anger, his mind was very clear. He measured the situation in front of him and made the wisest decision in the blink of an eye.
"General, we are all our brothers on the shore!" After hearing the commander of the commander, all the Goguryeo generals next to him were stunned, and then someone immediately came out to persuade him. If the arrows were shot, although it could cause some damage to the Tang army, more would accidentally hurt the soldiers of the country on the beach. After all, they had no place to escape.
"Hmph, instead of letting them be massacred by the Tang army, it is better to use their lives to exchange for some casualties of the Tang army! Less nonsense, shoot arrows!" With the order of Yuan Pure Land, the Goguryeo soldiers on the surrounding ships immediately set off their bows and drew arrows, and in the blink of an eye, the overwhelming arrows shot towards the beach.
Li Yan didn't expect the other party to be so decisive. Under the rain of arrows, the cavalry on their side also suffered a lot of casualties. Even he felt a heavy back, as if he was hit by an arrow. He didn't feel the pain at that time, and hurriedly shouted: "Retreat!"
The advantage of cavalry is that they come and go like the wind. Except for a few who were killed on the spot by the arrow, the others followed Li Yan and ran out of the opponent's range in the blink of an eye. Then they stopped to count the casualties. As a result, they found that more than 200 people were missing, and more than 500 were injured. Except for a few who were injured in the war just now, most of them were injured by the opponent's arrow rain.
"Your Highness, are you injured?" At this moment, Aunt Hu, who was catching all over her body from the blood pool, walked over. Seeing a long arrow inserted behind Li Yan, she immediately asked with concern. Wen Xin had handed over Li Yan's safety before coming. Now that your Highness is injured, if Wen Xin knows, why would she feel sorry for her?
"It's okay, a little bit of injury!" Li Yan felt a little pain in his back at this time, but fortunately the armor is of good quality and it is not shot deep, so it's not a problem. He helped him cut the arrow shaft. Now, he has no time to deal with it on the battlefield, and he must not pull it out, otherwise it may cause continuous bleeding.
Although Li Yan and the others escaped the range of the bow and arrow, Yuan Jingtu on the ship did not order to stop shooting arrows, but instead rushed to send people to land while shooting arrows. At the same time, they also learned to be smart. The first thing they did after landing was to line up to defend, rows of shields stood up, and spears extended diagonally from the gap, looking like a big hedgehog, making it impossible for the cavalry to get out of the mouth, unless they launched a decisive charge at all costs.
Li Yan naturally would not do such stupid things. When he saw that things were not done, he simply ordered people to shoot arrows and shoot them specifically at the boats on the sea. Although the soldiers above raised their shields to cover them, they could always cause some casualties.
At the same time, Li Yan raised his telescope and carefully observed the battle situation on the sea surface under the dim sunset. Unfortunately, he couldn't understand the naval battle at all. He could only count his own tower ships and found that there were only nine of the thirteen tower ships left by the navy, and there were more than a dozen of them on the other side. Judging from the number, it seemed that the other side had the advantage. However, in the battle on the ship, it seemed that the Tang army was fighting well. Some of the other side's ships were seriously damaged, and it seemed that they were about to sink.
"Your Highness, can you let the general watch?" Just as Li Yan couldn't tell who had the upper hand, he suddenly heard Aunt Hu next to him speak. When Li Yan heard this, he gave her the telescope directly. Anyway, he couldn't understand it. I wonder if Aunt Hu was a mysterious figure, could do it?
Aunt Hu was not polite, so she took it over and looked carefully, and then introduced: "Your Highness, although my Dengzhou naval army is elite, after such a long period of fierce fighting, her physical strength is almost exhausted. Although the losses in Goguryeo are large, the number of people still has the upper hand. Now the other generals have also grasped our weakness and started to pester our naval army, not allowing them to have any rest time. If this continues, the situation may be detrimental to us."
Li Yan's face darkened after hearing this. Although he was very happy to kill just now, it was far from being hurtful for the Goguryeo army. Moreover, the other party is steadily landing. If the navy was defeated at this time, they could only defend the city.
Just as Li Yan was thinking, Aunt Hu turned the camera around the sea until she pointed the camera at Dongfang's sea. A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth, she handed the telescope to Li Yan, pointed at Dongfang and said, "Please look there!"
Li Yan was stunned and raised his telescope as he spoke and looked. What shocked him was that there was a huge fleet of ships in the east, and many of them were warships, but there were no signs on these ships, so it was impossible to tell which side of the troops were?
