Chapter 171: Mo Lizhi, Don't Dream Anymore
Chapter 171 Mo Lizhi stops dreaming
One inch long, one inch strong.
The three-foot-three-inch horizontal sword, against the six-foot-long two-handed broadsword, had only one result.
Before the horizontal sword hits the opponent, it will be chopped to the ground by the broad sword that is not in contact with the enemy.
The original shape of this kind of heavy sword with both hands can be traced back to the Horse-Slaying Sword in the Western Han Dynasty. The Horse-Slaying Sword was originally a royal family in the Western Han Dynasty. Relatives and other nobles could use the Horse-Slaying Sword. For example, Wang Mang ordered his guards to kill Dong Zhong with the Horse-Slaying Sword.
However, although this horse-slashing sword is powerful and costly, it has not been popularized. Later, the horse-slashing sword is divided into two, and two versions were derived, namely the Mo sword, the horse-slashing sword, followed by the heavy sword.
These Gogury heavy swordsmen rushed to Goguryeo, jumped off the war horse, and then rolled to the ground. Their targets were first aimed at the Spearmen, the most threatening to the heavy sword.
Just as the spear soldiers were retracting, the Goguryeo swordsmen rolled forward and rolled into the spear formation. With a heavy sword, the Tang army spear soldiers who were striking the defeated soldiers of Goguryeo felt that their legs were cold and their legs were cut off at the same time.
Before their screams could be heard, the Goguryeo heavy swordsmen's heavy swordsman's heavy swordsman's screams stopped abruptly.
Chen Ying was very surprised to see this scene. Heavy infantry finally saw the Goguryeo people's heavy infantry. The Goguryeo people's heavy swordsmen performed quite amazingly. Although they were in the matchup between the two sides, Chen Ying had to admit that the Goguryeo heavy swordsmen are worthy of being the elite among the elites. Their animals are still so flexible in their clothes with such heavy armor!
Once the Tang army's spear soldiers were approached, they could not escape and die. The Goguryeo heavy swordsmen rushed under their feet like mice, swinging heavy swords, and the spearmen fell down screaming one by one.
The spear soldiers who stabbed from behind also mercilessly pierced the face armor and throats of these heavy swordsmen, and even nailed some heavy swordsmen who tried to rush into the gun array to the ground, but they still could not stop the heavy swordsmen's attack.
Seeing the pursuit soldiers being blocked by heavy swordsmen, the Goguryeo defeated soldiers who were originally running around like headless flies finally seemed to have found their backbone and gathered under the general flag of Yongaisuwen.
As the Tang army was delayed in pursuit, more and more Goguryeo soldiers gathered under the Yuangaisuwen, although the soldiers of the Anxi Army suffered more and more losses.
Even those Goguryeo light infantry joined the counterattack. Although the Anxi army's horizontal swordsman rushed up, the pressure on the Gap Spears not only did not ease, but became increasingly greater.
Li Siye, who had never experienced military achievements, suddenly panicked: "Master, what should I do now?"
If Chen Ying had heavy infantry around him at this time, he could fight head-on. The key is that the Mo Dao Army did not arrive in Goguryeo with Chen Ying. After all, in Chen Ying's impression, there were very few mountains and flat lands, and the disadvantages of the Mo Dao Army would be infinitely magnified here.
However, seeing the soldiers of the Anxi Army died in battle and still shouting at the attack, Chen Ying's head heated up and roared: "Let the hook and sickle cavalry go on!"
In fact, when the cavalry faced such swordsmen specializing in the ground to attack the lower three routes, it was actually the distinguished skill of Yue Fei's personal army in history. Yue Fei used this method of joining forces with strong crossbows, light cavalry, and ground-lying swords to defeat the Jin army in a mess.
Chen Ying naturally knew that the power of this kind of swordsman would definitely suffer heavy losses if the cavalry rushed forward. However, it was just a heavy cavalry, and the hook and sickle lance cavalry was not considered light cavalry or heavy cavalry. In fact, this hook and sickle lance cavalry did not have the strong defense ability of heavy cavalry, nor did it lose the flexible maneuverability of light cavalry.
However, the biggest advantage of the hook and sickle gun is that the gun is very long and has the advantage of being one inch long and one inch long.
Sure enough, the hook and sickle lance cavalry, which lined up in dense formations to charge, neatly stabbed the hook and sickle spear down.
Just as the Goguryeo swordsmen were about to chop off the horse's legs, they suddenly found themselves flying.
The cavalrymen used the hook and sickle to lift them away from the ground one by one.
The hook, sickle, spear pointed to, is invincible.
All the way, corpses all over the ground.
Facing the Anxi Army's hook and sickle cavalry, Yuan Gaisuwen fell into confusion again.
"how so?"
Yuan Gaisuwen only led more than 30,000 elite Goguryeo soldiers to ambush Chen Ying. But he never expected that he would encounter a tough guy this time.
Lu Yuan Taizuo, the big couple on the city wall on Pyongyang, finally woke up leisurely. He looked at the less than 5,000 Yuan under the command of Gai Suwen outside the city, and could be submerged by the Tang army's military formation at any time. At this time, he finally ordered: "Yuan Pure Land, come out and take your brother back!"
Yuan Putu was the second son of Yuan Taizuo. He was twenty-two years old at the age of a newborn calf and was not afraid of a tiger.
Without saying a word, he turned around and walked down the city.
Gao Jianwu was shocked.
The combat effectiveness of the Tang army was fully demonstrated, and it was not something that Goguryeo could compete with. The troops of Yang Wanchun in the north had been driven from the city of Gaoshi by Li Shiji to Sashui, less than 300 miles from Pyongyang.
It can be said that Goguryeo is now at the end of his life. Fortunately, he has the foresight. As early as when Li Shiji took action in Liaodong, he had sent a boy from Molizhi (Deputy Prime Minister) to the Tang Dynasty to prepare for peace talks.
Just when Chen Ying led a large army to fight with Yoon Gaisuwen to the city of Pyongyang, Chang'an City welcomed the Goguryeo envoy. The Goguryeo envoys were mainly boys of Mo Lizhi. Mo Lizhi was an official position established in the late Goguryeo period, specifically to curb the father and son of Lu Yuan Taizuo and Yoon Gaisuwen. It can be compared with the Shangshu Youpushe of the Tang Dynasty.
Faced with such a standard mission, Li Jiancheng, a generous emperor, did not take Goguryeo in terms of specifications, but instead sent a head of the Minister of Rites Tang Jian to be responsible for the reception and negotiations.
As soon as the Goguryeo delegation arrived at the concierge where they were staying, the boys of Molizhi couldn't wait to make a change of request to Tang Jian.
Tang Jian happily agreed.
The boy said to Tang Jian in awe: "About this war..."
Before the boy could finish his words, Tang Jian said mercilessly: "The responsibility for this war is all in Goguryeo. If you can implement it for ten years, the king of Goguryeo, Gao Yuan, signed a surrender form, and regarded my Tang Dynasty as the sect leader and a vassal forever, then this war would not have happened. It's just that you Goguryeo people are too self-righteous. Our Tang Dynasty has given you a chance, but you don't know how to cherish it..."
The boy was deeply influenced by Han culture. After Tang Jian finished his long discussion, he talked with erudition: "The Tang Dynasty's military operations in Liaodong and Pyongyang were naked invasions, ruthless trampling on the sovereignty of a completely independent country, and trampling on justice!"
Listening to this, Tang Jian's face became colder and colder.
The boy continued: "We strongly call on the Tang Dynasty to respect the sovereignty of Goguryeo. We, Goguryeo, love peace and hope that the Tang Dynasty will stop military operations immediately! Both sides maintain restraint, stop military confrontation, replace confrontation with dialogue, and return to the negotiating table!"
Tang Jian said coldly: "Mo Lizhi, I think you still haven't woken up!"
The boy looked puzzled.
Tang Jian turned around and left.
The boy looked at the follower beside him and said, "What does he mean?"
The entourage did not dare to answer, and was asked by the boy.
