After the pre-war meeting, the Sui army began to gather.
The collective drumbeat was heard, and the drumbeat was earth-shattering.
The trombone sounded in unison, and the low, whimpering sound echoed across half of the Korean Peninsula.
The 200,000 Sui soldiers were divided into armies, regiments, teams, and firemen.
The 200,000 strong army was split into four divisions, with Yang Guang being the strongest.
Zhao Yun led the way, and famous generals gathered.
Yuwen Cheng led the most cavalry and had the strongest offensive power. This was also why Zhuge Liang ordered them to form a cone formation. The cavalry was fast, and the cone-shaped formation could quickly pierce through the enemy.
Thirty kilometers away, the Goguryeon army was also gathering.
The Goguryeon army commander, Gao Yanshou, was in a particularly bad mood. There was news from Baiyan City that his nephew, Quan Nanzi, had declared himself King of Goguryeo, and almost all the ministers were against it. Quan Nansheng had already beheaded most of the ministers.
The ministers all came from the big families of the capital and were of the same mind. It was the foundation of Goguryeo's rule. Even if they won this war, Goguryeo would be riddled with holes. Gao Yanshou shook his head helplessly.
Gao Yanshou also knew that this battle could not be lost. If it was lost, the entire Goguryeo would be destroyed.
Gao Yanshou had some confidence in his soldiers. In order to raise the morale of the soldiers, they had distributed a large amount of money to each battalion before the battle. He promised high positions to all the generals.
The armies of both sides moved slowly and stopped less than five miles away.
Yang Guang had always thought that there would be some kind of trick, but after asking, he found out that he had been deceived by the later novels and television shows. With hundreds of thousands of troops against each other, who would have the leisure to watch you fight?
Gao Yanshou ordered the cavalry of the central army to attack. He had meticulously built them up, and they numbered twenty thousand men. They had consumed almost all of Goguryeon's blood essence. This was also the reason why Gao Yanshou dared to go against Great Sui.
10,000 of the 20,000 cavalrymen rushed toward the Great Sui's central army, covering the sky and covering the earth.
The Sui army sent a message from both sides, asking Zhuge Liang if he needed reinforcements.
Zhuge Liang ordered the two wings to ignore them and stabilize their formation.
Zhuge Liang had already known about the existence of this cavalry unit a month ago. He had already prepared a great gift for this cavalry unit.
"Archers, get ready." Zhuge Liang ordered.
"Archers, get ready!"
"Archers, get ready!"
"Archers, get ready!"
……
The messengers shouted one after another, instantly spreading throughout the entire central army.
Three thousand crossbowmen and three thousand archers lined up at the same time, with the crossbowmen in front and the archers behind.
Crossbowmen were long-range archers, while archers were close-range archers.
Three thousand crossbowmen were arranged in three rows, each row had a thousand people, and they were not far from each other.
The first row crouched down and raised their one thousand crossbow bolts, coldly aiming at the oncoming Goguryeon cavalry.
The first row of crossbowmen could already make out the faces of the Goguryeon cavalry, each and every one of them looking ferocious.
The cavalry quickly entered the range of the crossbowmen.
Zhuge Liang ordered,"Shoot!"
"Shoot!"
"Shoot!"
"Shoot!"
"Shoot!"
……
The messenger's voice spread throughout the battlefield.
The thousand ballista bolts were like a black cloud, and in an instant, the Goguryeon cavalry seemed to have encountered the scythe of the Grim Reaper. The front row of cavalry fell one after another, and several hundred of them were killed.
The Sui army's second volley of ballista bolts was fired, and Goguryeon soldiers were continuously killed.
The third row charged forward, and the concentrated ballista bolts pierced through the bodies of the Goguryeons, causing them to tumble off their horses.
In an instant, a mountain of meat was piled up in the middle of the confrontation between the two armies.
The crossbowmen that Zhuge Liang had spent a month carefully training finally showed their might.
The 3,000 soldiers of the Sui army were skilled in their movements, and they split up into three rows to fire in turns.
In just a few rounds, the Goguryeon cavalry had lost several thousand men. The heavy losses caused the momentum of the Goguryeon cavalry to wane, and their formation began to fall apart. At this moment, the closest cavalry was only a few dozen meters away from the vanguard.
The Sui army's crossbowmen retreated, and the archers who had been waiting for a long time began to move forward.
Archers use special arrows that are two feet long and made of fine steel. When shooting, the bow and arrow are raised.
The three thousand arrows were impenetrable and possessed extraordinary strength. Any Goguryeon cavalryman that came into contact with them would either die or be severely injured.
The remaining few thousand cavalrymen were all killed, and they immediately turned their horses around and ran back to their camp.
How could Zhuge Liang give this opportunity? He said to Zhao Yun,""Lead the three thousand cavalry to annihilate this remnant.”
Zhao Yun got on his horse and led his troops to chase after him.
The Goguryeon cavalry had their guts shot out by the crossbows, so they couldn't care less about anything else.
Zhao Yun's troops were all elites of the Imperial Army, and their horses were all good Dayuan steeds.
The Luma charged forward, instantly catching up to the Goguryeon cavalry. The Long Dan Liang Silver Spear flew up and down, harvesting the heads of the Goguryeon cavalry like cutting grass.
A moment later, the Imperial Army arrived. After a few rounds of digging, the Goguryeon cavalry was almost gone, and Zhao Yun stopped his horse. The Imperial Army wiped out the last enemy soldiers.
Zhuge Liang smiled at Yang Guang and said,"Your Majesty, the archers I trained are passable, right?"”
Yang Guang smiled but didn't say anything. This chapter seems to have nothing to do with me. I don't know if the master of Feilu will scold me because of this.
