Chapter 437 Weird tactics
To be honest, Gao Tande didn't understand it either. What's more, in the past, the Yan army invaded in Liaodong and attacked from the northern route, and crossed the sea with noon, because the Yan people's strength was cavalry. The Longcheng cavalry established by Murong Chui was famous at that time, and it conquered the thousands of miles of the Great Yan Kingdom from scratch. On the contrary, the navy was the weakest link of the Yan Kingdom and even the entire northern race. To put it bluntly, competing with the navy, Yan Kingdom or even Goguryeo!
Today, the strongest navy is in the Northern Prefecture Army of Jin State!
If you can't figure it out, you will temporarily put your mind down. Gao Tande looked forward. Seeing that the imagined Yan army had gradually slowed down, he ordered: "Maybe the enemy has not been instructed by the Lord of Yan, otherwise there would be more than 10,000 troops. Gao Wu, wait for the Yan army to stop, you will ask who it is."
"As for your order!" Gao Wu bowed.
After a while, the two armies stopped their pace at 300 steps away. Gao Wu asked loudly: "Who is ahead? Why are you attacking me Pyongyang?"
"Hahahaha~~" Wei Feng bowed his hand and laughed: "The King of Yongle is really a noble man who forgets so much, but still remembers his old friend back then?"
"This..." Gao Tandeyun looked at him with all his eyes. He was similar to Murong Xi's situation. He didn't remember it after three years. After all, Wei Feng had only robbed Silla once and never set foot on the peninsula. Gao Tande slowly stopped caring Wei Feng in his heart.
But Wei Feng felt very uncomfortable. Murong Xi did not recognize him, and Gao Tande was the same. Could it be that he was so unfamous?
Wei Feng's face pulled down and he told himself: "Yongle Tai Wang. I was the general Wei Feng. I met you and I three years ago. At that time, I was under the command of Liu Lao, the Northern Army. Now I am entrusted by the head of Jin, and temporarily resided in the governor of Guangzhou and supervised the military affairs of the two provinces of Guangxi!"
"It's you?" Gao Tande immediately exclaimed: "Gu remembers you, you robbed Silla, Gu no longer cares about you, but why did you offend me, Goguryeo today? Could it be that your great Jin Dynasty is just bullying the weak?"
Seeing that Gao Tande recognized him, Wei Feng's unhappiness immediately dissipated. He laughed and said, "Brothers have no food or women sleep. So I'll come and fight Qiu Feng at King Yongle!"
"You..." Gao Tande was about to scold, but suddenly realized that he was very stupid when he asked just now. This person was different from others. Others sent troops either for the land or for Dingkou. The Wei surnamed only robbed him. He didn't want Dingkou. He didn't want land. He only killed all the wealth, food, women, and everything else. It was so cruel and outrageous, but he was very treacherous. Gao Tande would never forget the scene when he was attacked by Wei Feng with cavalry in the dark!
Gao Tande knew that Wei Feng was aiming at Pyongyang. Once Pyongyang was captured by him, Silla's former capital, Minghuo, would be a role model for Pyongyang. But he didn't understand why this man had not attacked Pyongyang for so long. Is there any other intention?
In Gao Tandem's impression, Wei Feng was evil and robbed and killed everywhere, and was dedicated to bullying the weak. There was no reason. Even the most brutal Shi Hu was far inferior to him. Among the people killed by Shi Hu, most of the Jin people in the Central Plains and the powerful people in Jie people. He did not kill much about Qiang, Xianbei, and even Goguryeo!
He suppressed his anger and Gao Tande said coldly: "You are a country with Jin from Jiangdong. You are also a powerful country. I didn't expect to pretend to be a Yan person. You are just a hiding person."
Wei Feng smiled and said, "I need to ask some senior workers to help me with work, and Pyongyang is too small to meet my needs. The reason why I don't show my identity is to scare you. If you are afraid of coming, would I still go thousands of miles to attack Maruntu? Yongle Tai Wang, I will be waiting for you!"
"Arrogant!" Not only Gao Tandem, but also the generals around him were trembling all over. They finally understood Wei Feng's intention!
A general hurriedly bowed: "Tai Wang, the Wei surname is too arrogant. Our army is not as good as his Jin army. But if two fight one, even if the entire army is wiped out, we will die with him. Please give the order!"
"Please give the order!" The generals followed and asked for the battle loudly!
Gao Tande's anger could not be suppressed, and he shouted: "The people of Jin are too bullying. Today I swear to the one with the Wei surname to never die! If I can break the Jin army, the entire army will advance to one level and give one kilogram of gold. If I can take off the head of Wei and give one kilogram of country surname, I can be ranked as the ministers, advance to the third level, give one kilogram of gold, and give one kilogram of beauties. The soldiers, my Goguryeo has a great reputation since I set up a formation and beat the drums!"
"Dongdongdongdongdong~~" The cowhide drums sounded heavily, and the soldiers were as powerful as possible. They all raised their bows and arrows and tried to concentrate, because except for the hundreds of cars that were not famous, the rest of the Jin army was all cavalry, and they would inevitably launch an attack with cavalry.
Gao Tande arrived for rescue, but did not carry a car. There was a special place to store grain north of Pyongyang. Everyone only needed to carry food for one or two days. However, after seeing that the Jin army was actually a pure cavalry, Gao Tande couldn't help but feel regretful. Although it was inconvenient to move with the car, he could be arranged in front of the formation to resist the cavalry. However, at this time, he could only rely on bows and arrows and dense walls of people to fight back first, and then look for an opportunity to charge with the cavalry.
Sure enough, the cavalry of the Jin army moved, but what everyone didn't understand was that they were only moving in four thousand central cavalry, five thousand cavalry on both sides of the left and right wings, not to mention the roundabout encirclement, they didn't even move, and the speed of the central cavalry was very slow.
What tactic is this? Is it a death? You must know that the cavalry relies on their speed advantage and powerful impact. If you take a slow walk like this, is it a death or something?
Gao Tande exchanged confusion with the generals around him, and he was angry, but the Goguryeo people and strong neighbor Yan Kingdom, as well as Silla, Baekje and even the Japanese on the peninsula had fought for decades, with extremely rich combat experience and would not lose their minds due to anger.
According to their understanding, Wei Feng could not have made such an obvious trick. There must be something that he couldn't figure out, but no one could figure out what it was. For a moment, his heart was filled with anxiety.
Gao Tande looked forward again. The four thousand central cavalry stopped at about 200 steps and then carried out the crossbow machine. Generally speaking, the lethality of the crossbow rarely exceeds 200 steps, not to mention that his soldiers had already erected a row of shield walls.
Although this shield is either a shield from Middle Earth, it is also extremely huge. It is inserted into the soil with sharp corners and has extremely strong defense power on the outside. It is an ordinary wooden shield, but it is not a problem to block the crossbow arrows shot from two hundred steps away. He didn't believe Wei Feng was not clear.
"Dongdongdongdongdong~~" The cowhide drum was still making a dull sound. This was supposed to be an inspiring drum beat. In conjunction with the inexplicable military use of the Jin army, a strange atmosphere was created on the scene.
None of the Goguryeo generals led by Gao Tande dared to laugh at Wei Feng. They had seen Wei Feng's power. Some of them were alert and had already had a premonition that something bad would happen. If it weren't for too few cavalrymen, using cavalry feint attacks might have been able to test the intentions of the Jin army, but at this time, they could only defend passively.
Suddenly, a stern shout broke out from the Jin army: "Let me go!"
In an instant, the sound of the bending bowstring broke the dullness of the battlefield. Stone bullets, giant arrows, and crossbow arrows were overwhelming. Gao Tande's face suddenly changed!
"Not good!" Gao Tande's scream just blurted out, and a feeling of extreme danger came over. Out of his instinct of being experienced for many battles, he rushed to the ground without thinking. As soon as his body fell to the ground, the screams sounded. Almost at the same time, accompanied by a neigh, the war horse under his crotch fell to the ground.
Gao Tande turned his head and saw that the horse's neck was shot through by a three-foot arrow, and blood rushed out like a fountain. This scared him out of cold sweat on his face, thinking that if he hadn't been smart enough to abandon the horse in time, he would have been killed on the spot!
Gao Tande swept around again quickly. The wooden shield in the front row was like paper, and iron arrows that were more than twice as long as ordinary crossbow arrows shot past and drilled into the bodies of the soldiers behind at an almost unseen speed. Before that, the ground was already covered with corpses, and the blood dyed the earth red!
Gao Tande understood that the Jin army's crossbow arrows were extremely powerful and could actually shoot through wooden shields at a distance of two hundred steps. In comparison, the catapult and giant arrows could be ignored.
It was not until this time that Gao Tande thoroughly understood the intention of the Jin army's strange tactics, which was to bully people with strong bows and crossbows!
As soon as the thought turned, he screamed again. It turned out that the second round of crossbow arrows of the Jin army had already shot over, which made him realize that defensive counterattack was not feasible, because the Jin army did not need to take the initiative to launch an attack. Just shooting archery alone could kill these 30,000 people. Even if someone escaped by chance, he was the fastest runner in the defeat of the entire army.
At this moment, Gao Tande regretted and hated. Since he ascended the throne, he had never encountered such a one-sided battle situation today. However, he also knew that retreating or not moving would only be an ending of annihilation. Fighting for the first place might lead to a glimmer of hope. So he shouted: "Our army is at the critical moment of life and death. Only by taking the initiative can we defeat the Jin army. I will send an order to attack the entire army and fight the Jin people to the end!"
The surviving commander immediately raised the banner, and then the trumpet was blew. Only five thousand cavalry rushed out from the middle, and the infantry ran from both sides, and everyone was willing to go out!
But Wei Feng's temporary crossbow cavalry would not fight against Gao Tande's cavalry. After shooting out the last round of crossbow arrows, he immediately turned his horse's head and retreated to the chariot formation, which made Gao Tande's heart unable to help but bursts of blood. Just this round of crossbow arrows, he could see clearly that nearly four hundred cavalry were piled up on the spot!
