Chapter five hundred and eighty sixth beat the primitive
Gao Zitan led the army and entered Liaodong County along the Daliang River.
But after marching for less than two days, he received news one after another that the armies from the north and the south had been completely wiped out.
In the original plan, the coalition forces led by Gao Yanting and Li Jinmeng on the north road would first capture Xuantu County and then move southwest to intimidate the north of Xiangping City.
The southern division will attack Lelang County, go all the way north, pass through Xinchang City, and then arrive at the south of Xiangping City.
Gao Zitan will lead a hundred thousand allied troops from the east road along the Daliang River and attack Xiangping City.
Once the three armies meet outside Xiangping City, the end of Gongsun Kang and Liaodong will come.
But what Gao Zitan didn't expect was that only ten days after he sent out troops, two of his three armies were defeated.
What made Gao Zitan's expression extremely solemn was that it was not Gongsun Kang who defeated his two armies, but Cao's army who came from Liaoxi County to support him!
Judging from the defeat of the Liaodong Army and the great victory of Cao's army over their coalition forces, Cao's army's combat power is undoubtedly at least one level higher.
However, Gao Zitan did not choose to stop his troops.
He was originally jealous and suppressed by the King of Goguryeo, Gao Yanyou, because of his outstanding abilities. If he retreated without a fight, he would definitely be severely punished by Gao Yanyou when he returned.
In order to protect himself, and because he was lucky, Gao Zitan decided to continue leading the army towards Xiangping.
It was the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in the eleventh year of Jian'an.
After Cao Ang swept away the remaining enemy troops in Xuantu County, he returned to Xiangping City.
After returning to Xiangping,
Cao Ang, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and the 40,000 Liaodong Army personally led by Gongsun Kang set up a battle formation on the north bank of Daliang River in Xiangping City to welcome the 100,000 coalition troops of Goguryeo and Fuyu coming from afar.
Gao Zitan set up camp fifty miles away from the camp of Cao Jun and Liaodong Army.
During this period, Cao Jun was harassed and tested by small groups of cavalry several times, but because Gao Zitan had made arrangements in advance, Cao Jun's cavalry could only return without success.
Early the next morning, the two sides mobilized their entire armies with a tacit understanding and formed a formation on an extremely broad plain on the north bank of Daliang River.
The total number of Cao's and Liaodong's armies was 80,000, and the number of Goguryeo and Fuyu was 100,000.
There is not much difference in the number of people between the two sides, and the overall strength is undoubtedly that of Cao Jun and Liaodong Army.
The Goguryeo people actually looked down upon the Liaodong Army, but the strength of Cao's army seemed to be beyond everyone's expectations.
But now the two sides have set up their battle formations face to face. Who is stronger and who is weaker can only be determined after a battle!
There is no extra movement on either side.
After the battle was completely established, General Gao Zitan, the protector of the country, drew his sword and pointed forward!
Subsequently, the flag on the command platform was waved, and the sergeants of the Goguryeo and Buyeo coalition forces began to charge.
Seeing that the opponent's cavalry and infantry had launched a charge, but Cao Ang beside him did not move at all, Gongsun Kang couldn't help but turn his head frequently and look at the young heir to the Cao family's regime.
Cao Ang held a telescope and looked at the Goguryeo army that was still maintaining a good formation while sprinting at high speed.
"Yes, this Gao Zi Tan is indeed worthy of being the general who protects the country. He is much more capable in running the army than that Prince Lao Shizi."
Hearing this, Gongsun Kang thought to himself: "How long has it been? Do you still have time to wonder who is more powerful?"
Thinking of this, Gongsun Kang couldn't bear it anymore.
He cupped his fists and reminded Cao Ang: "Your Majesty, the enemy is less than 500 steps away from us!"
Cao Ang looked at Gongsun Kang, smiled and nodded: "I know, don't be in a hurry."
"..."
Gongsun Kang looked at Cao Ang's calm expression and knew that he must have made arrangements in advance.
After calming down for a moment, Gongsun Kang finally turned around and looked at the battlefield in the distance.
The one in the center is naturally the Liaodong Army.
Cao Jun's infantry and cavalry were all on the left wing of the Liaodong Army. The right wing was blocked by Liangshui, so no other arrangements were made. As for Cao Jun's long-range troops, they were all displayed behind the infantry.
The allied forces of Goguryeo and Fuyu took the lead in launching the charge. Naturally, the first to bear the brunt was the Liaodong Army in the center, and then Cao's Army further north.
The army charges and the sound of killing is loud!
When the Goguryeo and Fuyu allied forces came 300 steps in front of the Liaodong Army and Cao Army, Cao Ang finally passed the order, "General Gongsun, order your cavalry to move to the left wing and your infantry to form a formation to withstand the enemy's assault!"
Although Gongsun Kang was the right general and the governor of Liaodong, he was still inferior to Cao Ang in terms of status... and Cao Ang's command in battle was indeed better than his, so Gongsun Kang was also willing to let Cao Ang take command.
"Here!" Gongsun Kang took the order and left, and soon the Liaodong army formation began to change.
At the same time, Cao Ang ordered to his generals: "The artillery battalion fires! The longbowmen release arrows! The crossbowmen prepare in front of the formation!"
After a series of orders were issued, Cao Jun's flag man waved the flag in his hand violently!
The long archers who were ambushing the army bent their bows and set arrows, and fired thousands of arrows. The Goguryeo and Buyeo coalition forces fell immediately!
But bows and arrows are just an appetizer. After the first cluster of arrows is dropped, the main meal arrives as promised!
"boom!
!”
"boom!
!”
"boom!
!”
There was a loud explosion like thunderous gunfire!
In the panic-stricken eyes of the Goguryeo and Buyeo coalition soldiers, a mass of black artillery shells fell from the sky!
After hearing the roar of the artillery, Gongsun Kang turned around in shock and looked half a mile behind him!
Half a mile behind the army was a dirt slope.
On the slope, there are a thousand newly developed divine machine artillery neatly placed!
The Shenji artillery has improved range and power, and is also equipped with wheels to improve mobility. Compared with the artillery of Lu Yan Navy, it is undoubtedly a level up.
Gongsun Kang glanced back, then suddenly looked back at the battlefield.
On the battlefield, the soldiers of Goguryeo's Buyeo coalition were thrown on their backs and in chaos.
The loud noise and super lethality of the artillery gave the enemy the deepest blow and fear!
This is the power of technology!
Gongsun Kang's eyes almost popped out of his head. He couldn't imagine what would happen when his army faced such a terrifyingly powerful weapon as Cao Jun's army?
No, isn’t there a realistic reference right in front of you?
Seeing the Goguryeo and Fuyu people turning their backs on their backs and their corpses flying around, Gongsun Kang suddenly felt a chill in his heart, "Cao Jun, it's too scary!"
After two rounds of bombardment by the artillery battalion, the Goguryeo people finally rushed to the 80-step distance in front of the Liaodong Army and Cao Army.
At this moment, at some point in front of their formation, there were two more soldiers of Cao Cao standing and squatting in two rows holding large crossbows!
"Repeating crossbowman! Fire arrows!"
“Kakaka!
!”
“Hush, rest, rest!
!”
A ten-shot continuous crossbow fired tens of thousands of crossbow arrows in an instant!
The Goguryeo-Fuyu coalition forces rushing in the front row suddenly arrived in large numbers!
In terms of visual and auditory effects, artillery is undoubtedly the most shocking.
But when it comes to real lethality, artillery can only rank before bows and arrows and behind crossbows.
After shooting the first round, the repeater took out the quiver, and immediately a soldier loaded another quiver for them, and then another round,
“Kakaka!
!”
“Hush, rest, rest!
!”
Before the two armies of Te Miao came into contact, nearly one-tenth of their own side had already fallen! When had Gao Zitan ever seen such a terrifying long-range weapon?
Be the first to win!
A smile appeared at the corner of Cao Ang's mouth,
"Instruct the cavalry to attack with the whole army! Charge directly into the enemy's center!"
