Chapter 787 Attacking Xuan Dou
The attack of the Gogurye Cavalry was as if it was hitting an iron tower, and had no effect at all. However, the battle axe of the tiger cavalry ruthlessly cut the Gogurye Cavalry into a pool of blood! The battle axe roared, and the Gogurye Cavalry flew over the flesh and blood! The tiger cavalry was in a blink of an eye and broke into the middle of the Gogurye Cavalry, and the Gogurye Cavalry was already in chaos!
Gao Tai and others were shocked when they saw this scene and didn't know what to do for a moment. At this time, the Gogurye Cavalry finally could not resist the fierce killing of the tiger cavalry, the army collapsed and was defeated like a mountain of defeat. The panicked officers and soldiers rushed to escape, just like a panicked and chaotic scene after a large group of lambs was attacked by tigers and wolves.
The tiger cavalry did not pursue it. After defeating the enemy cavalry, they immediately retreated into the camp.
The Gogurye cavalry fled back to their own military formation and was shocked. Seeing this, the other Goguryee soldiers suffered a considerable blow to their original fighting spirit.
Seeing the continuous setback of the attacks of the chariots and cavalry, Gao Tai felt it was quite difficult, so he turned his head and asked the military advisor Defang next to him, "Military advisor, what should we do now?" Defang frowned and could not think of any strategy to break the enemy for a while. At this moment, the sound of the war drums of the Qin army rumbled! The Gogurye people were shocked and quickly looked at the Qin army opposite. The Qin army formation moved as a whole and slowly approached its own side, just like a magnificent mountain! The Gogurye people had never seen it before.
The scene of the overall advancement of the army formation was shocked, and a look of shock and panic appeared in his eyes. Gao Tai hurriedly asked Defang: "What kind of tactic is this?" Defang was stunned on the spot and couldn't answer at all. He was just a Confucian scholar who had read a few historical books, so how could he really understand the profound way of war in China? In fact, the tactics launched by the Qin army at this moment were nothing strange. Any army in the Central Plains that reached a certain level could use this tactic of the overall advancement of the army formation.
Seeing that the opponent was getting closer and closer, Gao Tai immediately raised his whip and shouted loudly, "Shoot the arrow!" The Goguli crossbowman quickly raised his arch and fired a wave of arrows at the approaching Qin army formation. In an instant, the dense arrows flew straight towards the Qin army formation like locusts, making a loud sound, like rain hitting banana leaves. It turned out that the Qin army formed an outer defense with shields. Seeing the opponent's arrows coming, the officers and soldiers in the formation raised the shields in their hands again and instantly formed a tight shield curtain. Although the arrow rain launched by the Goguli army was dense and powerful, it could hardly cause any damage to the Qin army.
When the rain of arrows of Goguli attacked, the Qin army immediately removed the shield curtain. The crossbowman who had been ready to go quickly raised his divine arm bow and returned a dense array of powerful arrows to the Goguli army opposite! The powerful arrows roared and flew. Almost at the same time, the Goguli army opposite was shot down countless times. The shields in the hands of Goguli people could not resist the power of the divine arm bow, and were pierced by the powerful arrows fired by the divine arm bow in one go, like a thin cloth! The originally rigorous formation was shaken! Gao Tai saw the powerful arrows fired by his opponent roaring past his side, and he couldn't help but feel frightened and panic, and subconsciously shouted: "Hurry back! Hurry back!"
The Gogurye crossbowman hurriedly bent his bow and arrows to shoot at the Qin army again, but the Qin army raised the shield again, and the rain of arrows shot by the Goguryeee was blocked by the shield, and there was no effect. Seeing this, the Goguryeee officers and soldiers couldn't help panic. At this moment, the powerful arrows fired by the Qin army fell into the middle of the Goguryeee again, and a large number of Goguryeee officers and soldiers were shot down again! Goguryee officers and soldiers were at a loss, and the entire formation was shaken!
At this moment, the sound of war drums in the Qin army suddenly sounded so loudly. The 30,000 Qin army issued a shout and launched a charge, like jackals, tigers and leopards rushing towards the Goguli people! The Goguli officers and soldiers were already a little shaken, and when they saw this scene, they became even more frightened!
Before the Goguryeo people took a countermeasure, the Qin army's attack line had already hit the Goguryeo people's front again! The powerful impact and screams were heard, and the scene was filled with flesh and blood. The Goguryeo line was instantly destroyed by the Qin army. The Qin army officers and soldiers, like wolves and tigers, broke down the Goguryeo people's defense line and poured into the Goguryeo people's military formation! The officers and soldiers waved their swords and rushed forward bravely. In the violent killing, the Goguryeo people fell one after another.
Falling in a pool of blood, screams sounded one after another! Gao Tai yelled in his voice, and the officers and soldiers of Gogurye tried their best to resist the Qin army's fierce attack, but the Qin army's offensive was like a mountain collapse like a tide, which was simply unresistible! After a while, the entire Goguryeee army formation was already shaking. Defang looked at the scene in front of him with a pale face, looking at the scene in front of him, looking at him at a loss. This Confucian scholar who thought he was a talented man in the feather fan and Luneng scarf seemed to be unable to deal with the current Qin army's fierce attack.
Suddenly, some of the Gogurye Army collapsed and turned their heads and ran down. At this time, the Goguryee Army, which could not be resisted, was defeated like a mountain of fallen sea, and the army ran back towards the city like the receding tide. Seeing this, Gao Tai and others dared not stay there, so they quickly turned their heads and ran back to the city.
Under the leadership of Ailang, the Qin army rushed and attacked fiercely, killing like a tide, killing the scene so that the sea of blood surging everywhere. They chased the city gate and saw that the city gate had been closed, they stopped chasing. The Qin army temporarily retreated, several miles away from the city, and built a camp along the mountains and rivers.
Gao Tai and others calmed down when they saw the Qin army stop attacking. Everyone looked at each other and felt depressed. They never dreamed that their 100,000 troops were killed by the other party and lost. The officers and soldiers of Gogurye gathered around the city, and the atmosphere was very depressing. Although no one would admit it, they could not help but feel fear of the Qin army.
Early the next morning, the rumbling sound of war drums awakened the Goguryeo army and the people in the city. The Goguryeo army quickly looked out of the city, and the Qin army's mountain-like military formation immediately appeared in front of us! The military formation was like a mountain, with a rainbow of momentum, people were like tigers, horses like crazy dragons, and 30,000 Qin troops were like 30,000 Pixiu, with vast murderous aura covering the sky and the sun! The Goguryeo officers and soldiers couldn't help but be frightened. Before they even got into the battle, many people's hearts were shaken! The generals and officials on the top of the city were clamoring one after another, and teams of Goguryeo officers and soldiers were rushing to move on the top of the city, and there was a tense atmosphere before the war.
The Qin army retreated more than a hundred assembled packed thieves before the military formation, just like a Tallinn, with amazing atmosphere! The officers and soldiers of Gogurye had never seen such a huge thieves, and they were all inexplicably surprised, and at the same time they were extremely shocked and amazed. Gao Tai couldn't help but ask the military advisor Defang beside him: "What is this? Is it a thieves?" Defang didn't know how to answer. Gao Tai glanced at Defang and suddenly felt that his military advisor was simply a fool who didn't know anything about it!
At this moment, a rapid sound of war drums sounded outside the city. Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn toward the outside of the city. More than a hundred huge objects suddenly swung their long throws, and then countless huge rocks roared from the sky, with amazing atmosphere, like a meteor shower! The officers and soldiers of Gogurye were shocked, and then they realized that the huge object like a tower was actually a catapult cart!?
In an instant, the huge rock fell like a meteor! The officers and soldiers of Gogurye only felt the sky and the earth shaking! The huge rock hit the wall and made a shocking roar. The city gate tower immediately collapsed in a corner, falling into the crowd, and a tragic scene of flesh and blood flying across the crowd. When it hits the house, the house collapses in a mess!
After a round of bombardment, the city wall was in a mess, and the blood in the corpse was shocking. Gao Tai inadvertently saw the body of an officer who was smashed to pieces not far away, and couldn't help but feel frightened. He turned his head to look at the huge castle carts that were preparing for the second round of shooting. His scalp suddenly became numb and he hurriedly ordered: "Hurry! Get off the city wall!" The officers and soldiers of Gogurye were already panicked, and when they heard this, they fled from the city wall.
Not long after, the second round of huge rock rain fell in a whistling sound, and it hit the city top and made a earth-shaking loud noise. The officers and soldiers of Gogurye, hiding at the foot of the wall, couldn't help but be frightened. Many people couldn't help but tremble, and they were worried that the city wall they were relying on would collapse in an instant!
The Qin army continued to bombard the city with catapults, but did not launch the battle to climb the city with officers and soldiers. The first day of the battle passed like this. Although the Qin army did not launch the battle to climb the city, the city wall of Xuantu County had cracked in many places after bombardment on this day, and the city wall probably couldn't withstand the bombardment for long!
The Qin army withdrew its troops and returned to the camp, and the huge noise finally calmed down. Gao Tai patrolled the city wall with everyone. Seeing huge cracks appearing in many parts of the city wall, he couldn't help but feel worried. Tie Yongnan couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect the Qin army to have such a powerful weapon! It was just a day's bombardment, and the city wall could not hold on!" Gao Yuan couldn't help but say, "If the city wall is broken, this battle will be difficult!" Gao Tai frowned, looking very depressed and annoyed.
A cavalry rushed from the east to enter Youzhou City. Soon after, Xun Yu and Zhang He saw this dusty scout in the hall. The scout reported to the two: "Sir, General, the Qin army has been dispatched! Lu Bu personally led a 30,000 army to attack Xuantu County!"
Xun Yu frowned. Zhang He said, "In this case, the battle in Xuantu County should have begun at this moment. This is really a wonder in the history of war! Lu Bu actually attacked the city guarded by a hundred thousand troops with 30,000 troops!" Xun Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Who is guarding Liaodong County?"
