Chapter 487

The arrows were flying like locusts, and the Goguryeo army was hit by arrows and fell to the ground, but this did not stop the Goguryeo army from advancing. The Goguryeo soldiers shouted and rushed towards the round formation of the North Army. At the same time, the crossbows followed behind the Goguryeo army also began to fire at the round formation of the North Army. The guns and arrows flew across the rain of arrows with dull whistling sounds, and made a dull loud noise on the outermost tower shield. More than a dozen tower shields were broken and fell down. The tower shield soldiers behind them fell to the ground with blood on the mouth and nose. The soldiers behind quickly dragged the injured tower shield soldiers to the center of the round formation; the tower shield soldiers quickly filled the gap.

The long-range troops of both sides shot each other in an interactive manner. During the period before the fight, soldiers on both sides continued to fall under the arrows of each other.

The Goguryeo Army rushed to the front of the round formation from three directions, and then the Goguryeo Army rushed to the front of the knife and shield hands suddenly stopped and formed a temporary front. Almost at the same time, the Goguryeo spear soldiers holding a three-meter spear rushed up to the round formation of the Northern Army. They obviously wanted to use the spear to break through the outermost tower shield wall of the Northern Army.

The Goguryeo spearmen rushed towards the round formation shouting. Thousands of powerful crossbow soldiers of the Northern Army pulled the trigger violently.

The locust-like arrows rushed towards the Goguryeo spearmen at a very close distance.

Arrows as dense as locusts roared through the Goguryeo spearmen, screaming one after another, and the Goguryeo spearmen fell to the ground in succession.

As soon as this wave of arrow rain passed, Goguryeo's spearmen were close at hand.

"Come on the battle!" A general beside Guan Yu shouted.

He!! Twenty thousand soldiers shouted in unison, and at the same time the entire circular formation slowly moved, moving towards the Goguryeo Army. From a distance, it looked like a moving fortress.

The Goguryeo spearmen used their spears in their hands to poke the gap between the tower shields, and the sound of ding-dong poking sounds turned into a circle. From time to time, a spear came out of the gap and stabbed into the bodies of soldiers of the North Army. The soldiers screamed and fell down, and immediately a soldier took over his position. At the same time, the injured soldier was dragged into a small open space in the formation.

The Northern Army did not sit and wait for death. While the circular formation was advancing towards the enemy, the powerful crossbowmen in the formation shot arrows desperately, and the locust-like arrows flew past the enemy, and the enemy soldiers were shot to the ground one after another. The spearmen of the Northern Army were not idle either. They used spears to kill. Although the spearmen used by the spearmen of the Northern Army were not as good as the commander of the Goguryeo, with the help of the previous pushing force of the round formation and the protection of the tower shield, their killing efficiency was even greater! The spears were constantly spit out from the gap between the tower shields, and the blood of the Goguryeo people continued to spray on the tower shields, and batches of Goguryeo spearmen fell under the spears before the round formation.

Thousands of Goguryeo spearmen were pressed by the round formation of the Northern Expedition Army and slowly retreated. Overall, the Goguryeo army was at a disadvantage.

"Form a formation!!" A Goguryeo general suddenly shouted. The Goguryeo sword and shield hands immediately formed a circular formation, but the round formation formed by the Goguryeo army was very different from the Northern Expedition Army. The Northern Expedition Army was a whole large circular formation, while the Goguryeo army had more than a dozen small circular formations. The sword and shield soldiers were on the outermost periphery, and the spear tools seemed to be strict.

Thousands of Goguryeo spearmen who were unfavorable to confront the round formation of the Northern Expedition Army retreated, and more than two thousand Goguryeo corpses had fallen on the battlefield.

"Assault!!" The Goguryeo general in one of the circular formations shouted. Then more than a dozen small round formations formed by the Goguryeo people slowly pressed towards the North Army in an arc. The Goguryeo people kept shouting in a low voice, stepping forward neatly, and seemed extraordinary. The Goguryeo people did this not only to show their momentum, but also a coordinated means. Listening carefully, the Goguryeo people shouted a bit like the horns of boatmen.

"The Northern Army probably has never seen such a formation!" A general beside Gao Yan said self-righteously.

Gao Xian looked at the battlefield with a frown and said in a deep voice: "In the eyes of the Han people, our army's battle formation is just a trick that cannot be used on the surface!" Gao Xian's words were not exaggerated. Just imagine what the Goguryeo people did not pick up the leftovers of the Central Plains, and the words that seemed to "grow others' ambition to destroy their own might" were actually to warn their subordinates.

Hearing high sulfur say this, that Goguryeo...

The general was immediately stunned.

More than a dozen round formations of the Goguryeo people slowly headed towards the Great Round Array Pack of the Northern Army. The thousands of spearmen who had retreated before were forming formations in the back. At this time, the Great Round Array of the Northern Army had paused.

The powerful crossbowmen of the Northern Army in the circular formation kept firing arrows, and their targets were concentrated on the two nearest Goguryeo circular formations. The arrows hit the shields of the Goguryeo people like raindrops, making a sudden sound like rain hitting banana leaves. From time to time, Goguryeo soldiers were shot down by arrows.

At the same time, the Goguryeo people's crossbows were also shooting continuously, which caused considerable losses to the Northern Army.

The two sides finally got into battle, and the Goguryeo's light crossbow was already silent at this moment, and the powerful crossbowmen in the North Army were also difficult to effectively attack due to distance and angle issues.

More than a dozen Goguryeo Army round formations were squeezed into the form of a half-moon battle. Nearly 30,000 Goguryeo soldiers shouted, and at the same time pushed the North Army round formation with all their might. The Tower Shield soldiers of the North Army fought hard to hold back the Tower Shield, and the soldiers behind them also shouted and tried their best. The loud noise made people numb, which was the unpleasant sound of the shield rubbing against each other under the force of force. The spearmen on both sides lowered their bodies and rushed towards the other side from the lower plate. The soldiers who were pressing in front of both sides kept screaming and falling down.

As time went by, the Great Round Form of the Northern Army, which was facing the enemy, had a concave situation to varying degrees, and the Northern Army seemed to be at a disadvantage in this confrontation. It turned out that the small round formation of the Goguryeo people could concentrate everyone's strength in this kind of run-up battle, while the Great Round Form of the Northern Army seemed a little clumsy, and more than a dozen small round formations of the Goguryeo dispersed the overall strength of the Northern Army.

Guan Yu frowned and looked at the situation in front of him, and suddenly ordered: "Reduce the formation!!"

The Zhengbei Army, who was struggling to support, suddenly roared, and all the soldiers immediately retreated inward quickly. This retreat was not busy but very organized, and all the soldiers retreated face to the outside. The Goguryeo people could not keep up with the speed of the Zhengbei Army for a while, and the two sides immediately broke off contact.

In a blink of an eye, the large circular formation of the Zhengbei Army shrank by more than half. The tower shield soldiers were still surrounded by the outermost periphery, but at this moment the defense line composed of the tower shield was much stronger than before on the surface; the spearmen poked the long spear out of the gap between the tower shield, forming a dense forest of guns. The circular formation of the Zhengbei Army was like a huge hedgehog.

"Stop!!" General Goguryeo, who was commanding the battle in the military formation, shouted.

Nearly 30,000 Goguryeo Army shouted loudly, and then more than a dozen round formations were launched again, pressing towards the battle formation of the Northern Army with great momentum.

Gao Suo frowned at the rear, and he felt something was wrong at this moment.

When the Goguryeo circular formation was about to contact the circular formation of the Northern Army, Guan Yu suddenly shouted: "Turn!!!"

The soldiers of the North Envoy shouted in unison, and almost at the same time, the hedgehog-like circular formation began to rotate.

As soon as a Goguryeo circular formation came into contact with the Hedgehog formation of the North Army, it was immediately shattered by its huge inertial force. Then the nightmare of the Goguryeo army, which had lost its formation protection, began. The dense spears, which were as cold as hedgehogs, swept ruthlessly from the Goguryeo soldiers under the influence of the inertial force. Screams arose. Goguryeo soldiers splattered blood and fell to the ground. Some were swept in their legs, and the soldiers screamed and screamed. Some were swept in their mid-abdomen, and their white intestines were immediately exposed; some were directly cut off their heads, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

Goguryeo's circular formation hit the hedgehog formation of the Northern Army one after another, and then followed the former's footsteps.

In the end, the entire battlefield became chaotic. The hedgehog formation of the Zhengbei Army kept turning, and the cold gun blade dripped with blood. Nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Zhengbei Army made neat shouts from time to time, accompanied by neat footsteps like thunder. Tens of thousands of scattered Goguryeo barbarians were ruthlessly killed, with broken limbs and broken arms and corpses everywhere on the ground. The blood seemed particularly dazzling under the harsh sun, and the strong smell of blood violently stimulated everyone's noses. Most of the Gaoju soldiers kept retreating with fear, but they still kept rushing forward with brave howlings. However, the result was conceivable...

And know.

"Immediately call the gold to stop the troops!" Gao Yan said anxiously.

The general beside him who had already changed his shock suddenly woke up, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "Mingjin withdraws the troops!!"

The sound of the golden bell rang out loud, and the Goguryeo soldiers who were already on the verge of collapse were as if they were amnesty and retreated towards the central army like a tide.

"Scatter! The whole army covers the killing!!" Guan Yu shouted suddenly.

The outermost tower shield immediately dispersed from all directions, and more than ten thousand spearmen and knife hands shouted and rushed out, catching the Goguryeo army that was retreating in panic.
