Chapter 490 Riding Alone

  Sunan City was captured, and the next target was Mudi City.

   "How to fight?"

  Cheng Mingzhen and Su Dingfang called the generals to discuss matters.

   "If there is a strong attack, the enemy will definitely defend."

  This is a worthless suggestion.

   "Or besieged!"

  This suggestion is interesting, but…

   "How to siege?"

  Cheng Mingzhen said angrily: "It is quite difficult for the army to maintain the grain roads abroad. It will cost a lot of money to transfer it from home, and you have to be careful of being robbed by the Koreans when you send it over..."

  The price is too high.

  Su Dingfang said: "We still focus on killing and wounding."

   This is a high-sounding suggestion.

   It is impossible for Datang to attack Silla for the sake of Silla. Originally, according to the plan of the court, it should have come to burn and kill, and then left immediately.

  But Jia Ping'an actually destroyed Nansu City, so naturally he couldn't be anticlimactic.

   "Nansu City is on the Guiduan River side, and it is impossible for Datang to stick to it. Once the surrounding Koreans flock to it, we will be passive instead."

  Cheng Mingzhen said slowly: "So this battle must be resolved quickly, and then retreat to Liaoshui."

  He and Su Dingfang looked at each other, "Our army will set off immediately, and play by ear."

   Later, Jia Pingan asked the two of them to discuss matters alone.

   There was some dispute in the middle, I couldn't hear clearly, but when Jia Pingan came out, there were bruises on his face.

   "I was beaten up by them!"

  Brother Li Ku said in a low voice: "These veterans all have the habit of fighting. It seems that Jia Pingan's private suggestion just now probably didn't suit their wishes, so they were beaten severely."

  Abu Gu smiled and said, "I wish he could be more arrogant, so he was hit in the head like this. You have to know, the more proud a person is, the less he can withstand failure."

   "But Cheng Mingzhen and Su Dingfang will obviously protect him."

"Let's see."

  In Abgu's eyes, there is a lot of ambition, but a little less aggressive.

  Cheng Mingzhen came out and said, "Brother Li Ku."

"coming!"

  Brother Li Ku moved slightly in his heart and saluted.

   "You take the headquarters and follow."

"yes!"

   Following various military orders, Jia Pingan stood there alone, and everyone was amazed.

   Isn't this the young man that the two big shots are optimistic about?

   Just got beaten up and then left.

   Immediately the army was dispatched.

  Mudi City was in a state of turmoil at the moment. When I saw the tens of thousands of Tang troops coming, I finally felt at ease.

   "The rest of the day...is to endure, survive life, but not survive...death."

  The whole city is on alert as the horns sound.

   "Brother Li Ku!"

"exist!"

  Brother Li Ku stepped forward.

   Siege with cavalry is impossible, so he doesn't worry about that.

  Then it is peripheral cruising.

   "You are on alert."

what does this mean?

  Cheng Mingzhen said: "Crossbowmen step forward."

   It turned out to be a protection crossbowman?

   Two thousand cavalry stepped forward and stopped outside the range of the bow and arrow.

  Thousands of crossbowmen stepped forward.

  The follow-up carts pulled the crossbow arrows forward one by one.

   This is the confidence of the Central Dynasty!

  The crossbow formation takes shape.

   Winding.

  Someone pointed at the top of the city and shouted, "Shoot the arrow!"

  In the dense voice, the crossbow turned into a black cloud and flew up.

   "Beware of Arrows!"

  The Koreans on the top of the city squatted down holding their shields one after another, and some people just lay on their stomachs.

   There were endless screams, and a wave of crossbow arrows crossed the top of the city, killing most of the soldiers who were carrying supplies for the defense of the city below.

   "Beware of arrows!"

  After a few waves of crossbow arrows, the Tang army retreated.

   "Is this a siege?"

  The guard looked up, turned around and laughed, "The crossbow arrows can't kill us all, the Tang army has retreated."

   Immediately, the Tang army began to besiege the city.

   "The scouts are going to find out the news!"

  Military orders continued to be issued, and the atmosphere was tense.

   On the second day, there were still waves of crossbow arrows.

   "Tang Jun is helpless."

  The guard is very happy.

   "Cangyan must have got the news at this moment, and then pass it back, the army will be here in no time!"

  There is a large army stationed in Ganwu City, which belongs to the nature of the reserve team. Once all of them come, the Tang army can only retreat at this point.

  So the guard should not panic.

  On the night of the third day, Su Dingfang disappeared with a thousand cavalry.

  …

  When the army is outside, food and grass are the most important thing. Almost every few days, there will be a large convoy crossing the Liao River and Guiduan River.

  Tang Jun is also quite cautious, every time hundreds of people protect the convoy.

  On this day, hundreds of carts crossed the Guiduan River with difficulty, and then rested for a while before setting off for Mudi City.

   Right behind, the two riders watched all this from a distance, and then disappeared behind.

  In a forest, thousands of Koreans are eating dry food.

   "They're back."

  The general who was squatting to eat got up, and his sunken eyes were filled with joy, "How is it?"

   "Damoda, Tang Jun's grain and grass convoy is here again, hundreds of vehicles."

   "How many people are accompanying you?"

   "It's less than five hundred."

   Here's your chance!

  The general stood up, "Let them eat quickly, and then set off!"

   Later, there was a noise in the woods.

   Three thousand cavalry, plus two thousand infantry, this is reinforcements.

"Tang Jun must have thought that I would directly reinforce Mudi City later, but he didn't know that we were going to give them a shot from behind. But he didn't expect to find their food road. As long as we robbed those grains, we not only got supplies, Mudi City The Tang army in the city will be short of food."

  The concave-eyed general smiled and said: "There is no food in the army, so we have to eat people! Then the army's morale was disturbed, and we attacked internally and externally. How can the Tang army be undefeated?"

   "The infantry will be faster in the rear, and the cavalry will intercept and kill first."

  Three thousand cavalry began to accelerate.

   After more than an hour, they saw the convoy.

   "Wrap around!"

   Tang Jun had already spotted them, and after a burst of exclamation, he immediately formed a circle with carts.

  The coachmen and civilians all took up weapons, and there were thousands of people in the organization.

   "Attack!"

  The general shouted: "Tang Jun is extravagant, there is meat in the army ration, and there are good dry rations, take them down, let's bury the pot and make a meal immediately, and have a good meal."

  The general beside him said: "Aren't we going to surprise the Tang army from behind?"

   "The generals of the Tang Army will definitely send out scouts in all directions. How easy is it to make a surprise attack? Cut off their food roads, and they will be defeated without a fight!"

   "Strike!"

   Those cavalry cheered and rushed up.

   "Uncle Wuyang, there are cavalry behind you!"

   Jia Ping'an has already seen the cavalry around the enemy general.

  These cavalry men and horses are all wearing iron armor, so they are called iron cavalry.

   This is the most powerful assault force at the moment.

   "Crossbow ready..."

"put!"

  Dense crossbow arrows flew past, and the cavalry who were charging fell down.

"put!"

   After two waves of crossbow arrows, the enemy army is already approaching.

   "They're dead!"

  As long as you are willing to sacrifice, the chariot formation cannot defend against cavalry.

"Prepare…"

   Jia Ping'an turned around, behind him were dozens of big men carrying packages, and someone lit the fuse.

  The package that Li Jingye is holding is the largest, and it is tied with a rope. Just shake the rope, and the package will rotate.

   Last throw.

   Dozens of packages were thrown into the middle of the cavalry charging.

   "They threw food?"

  The Koreans couldn't help laughing.

   "Boom boom boom boom!"

  The sudden explosion shattered the joy.

  Amidst the gunpowder smoke, the horses jumped wildly, some of the cavalry were blown off their horses, and then trampled to death.

   Messed up!

   "Pull some!"

   Jia Ping'an grinned and said, "Go out and give them a shot!"

   A wave of crossbow arrows shot past, and immediately hundreds of infantry rushed out, stabbing desperately with long spears.

  The cavalry turned around and ran away in a panic.

"Help!"

"what is that?"

  The general was stunned, and his horse was also a little uneasy.

   "Stop them!"

   Someone is going to intercept the fleeing cavalry, someone is looking ahead...

  About hundreds of riders fell down ahead, that is to say, in this wave, basically one package can kill two, and some injured are fleeing.

   "Just to scare people!"

  The general cursed: "Come again, let them appease the horses, come again!"

  In the chariot formation, the pawns had already withdrawn, and someone was holding a head and waved it at Jia Pingan happily, "Uncle Wuyang, I will kill one person!"

   "Good man!"

   Jia Pingan praised.

  Li Jingye came back, and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, it is powerful, but the number of people killed is too small."

   "Let's improve slowly in the future."

  After getting out the gunpowder, he kept tossing about it, but Jia Pingan didn't care.

   "Brother, isn't this what you made? Why didn't you care?"

   "It's not good for me to care too much."

   Jia Ping'an knew his own weight, and he had no choice but to pin his hopes on those craftsmen if he wanted to improve on the gunpowder matter.

   "Dozens of people were killed or injured before and after the experiment over there, I'll take care of it..."

  But before this departure, they said they wanted to get some to try and let the inventor, Jia Pingan, experience it for himself.

   "The enemy army has begun to gather."

  Those cavalry are constantly gathering, but the war horses cannot be appeased immediately.

   "There are pawns!"

   Right behind, the footsteps of pawns running could be heard.

  The arrival of the infantry made the enemy general heave a sigh of relief, "Continue to appease the horses, the infantry will attack immediately."

   There was no room for trickery in the infantry's attack. They were still panting, and they began to attack.

   "Shoot the arrow!"

   Crossbow arrows are simply too cool to deal with infantry, and they are looting wave after wave.

  There are many corpses, piled up on the road of impact.

  When approaching the enemy, Tang Jun's long spears stabbed each other with the Koreans across the chariot formation, but Tang Jun was protected by the chariot formation, and the archers behind them shot and killed the Goryeo infantry continuously.

  In the distance, Su Dingfang was watching the battle here with the help of trees.

   "General Zhonglang, it's time to attack."

   "What are you panicking about?"

  Su Dingfang said: "The enemy cavalry has not yet moved. If they attack at this moment, they will flee. Only after they get entangled with the chariot formation is the time to attack."

   "Uncle Wuyang and the others are dangerous..."

  Su Dingfang said calmly: "As a general, many times you have to make choices. If you can't bear death or injury, then don't be a general, so as not to harm others or yourself."

  …

   "Tang Jun's arrows are too powerful."

  The Tang army had a bow in hand, and they shot at close range. The Koryo infantry suffered heavy casualties, and their morale had fallen to the bottom.

   "Withdraw."

  The general glanced at the cavalry, "The cavalry is ready to attack."

   "Tang Jun threw more than a dozen of those ghost things just now, so it can be seen that they are used up." He grinned grinningly; "If you want to break their defense in one go, pay attention, don't be afraid of death or injury, just pile up the corpses."

  Infantry began to withdraw.

   "Uncle Wuyang, why don't you use gunpowder?"

   Just now, Jia Pingan ordered someone to throw more than a dozen packs of gunpowder, and then stopped, making everyone puzzled.

   "Infantry is not our threat. I want the enemy general to conclude that we are out of gunpowder, so that when the enemy cavalry charges, the gunpowder can catch them by surprise."

   "The cavalry is coming."

  Enemy cavalry swarmed in.

   "I want them to drink a pot this time!"

   Jia Pingan grinned grimly.

   "Shoot the arrow!"

  The crossbow arrows were fired, and then more than a hundred people prepared gunpowder packs.

   "Shoot the arrow!"

  …

  Su Dingfang turned around, and a thousand cavalrymen had already mounted their horses.

  Everyone's eyes are full of murderous intent, eager to make military achievements.

   This is a powerful dynasty. When facing the threat of the enemy, their favorite way to deal with it is to attack.

  Su Dingfang waved his hand, and the cavalry slowly appeared.

  He murmured: "In February of the fourth year of Zhenguan, this old man was full of arrogance and acted improperly. The late emperor never looked at this old man again. This look lasted for more than twenty years, God..."

  He looked up at the sky, "How many people think that this old man has just collapsed?"

  …

"throw it out!"

  More than a hundred powder packs were thrown over.

   Boom boom boom boom!

  Among the dense explosions, the enemy was shocked, and chaos ensued.

   "They still have it!"

  The enemy general gritted his teeth and said, "Rush over, no matter what!"

  The second wave of people stepped forward.

"Throw!"

  The second wave of gunpowder packs was thrown out!

   Boom boom boom boom!

   Exploded!

  The entire enemy shock array is in chaos.

  The war horse ran around, even jumped on the spot, threw the owner off, and then turned around and ran away.

  The enemy general said with a cold face: "Follow me!"

  He rushed up with the hundreds of cavalry.

   "Get out of the way!"

  The cavalry is accelerating!

  The chaotic cavalry in front of them blocked their way, and the enemy general was shouting and cursing...

"what is that?"

   A cavalryman suddenly pointed to the rear and shouted.

  An ominous premonition suddenly surged in the enemy general's heart, and he glanced back.

  The black cavalry is accelerating!

   That big flag is so dazzling!

   "This is a trap...enemy attack!"

  In an instant, everything became clear.

  The Tang army's food road was deliberately exposed in front of their eyes, waiting for them to attack, and the two thousand cavalry were waiting around, waiting for this opportunity.

   "Reinforcements are coming."

   There was a burst of cheers in the car formation.

   "Brother, they beat you for this plan?"

   "Yes!" Jia Pingan felt a little pain in his body, and couldn't help secretly cursing Cheng Mingzhen and Su Dingfang for not drinking when they turned around.

   "Open the car formation."

  The chariot formation opened, and the infantry rushed out.

   Jia Ping'an got on his horse and chased him with more than ten riders.

  The hundreds of iron cavalry followed the enemy general and did not retreat, but rushed towards Su Dingfang.

   "This is to cover the escape of a large group of people. Goryeo has many courageous men!"

  Someone is sighing.

   But what he met was Su Dingfang.

  Su Dingfang, who once won the three armies bravely!

   Just a face to face...

   "Victory!"

  Su Dingfang, with gray beard and hair, held up the head of the enemy general, his eyes were wide open, and the enemy army in front of him screamed and wanted to turn around and run away.

"wild!"

   This is the first time Jia Pingan has seen Su Dingfang kill the enemy.

Then…

  He took the lead and rushed into the so-called iron cavalry, unstoppable.

  Blood shot in his path.

   The screams continued to come from behind him.

  The beard and hair fluttered in the wind, and the eyes were full of joy.

  When he rushed out of the enemy line, his eyes swept across the battlefield, and everyone was heartbroken.

   "What a Su Lie!"

   "Kill the enemy!" Su Dingfang took the lead in chasing and killing.

   "Clean the battlefield!"

   Jia Ping'an only has a dozen cavalry under his command, so he is going to take the infantry to clean up the battlefield, and then fulfill his promise to build a temple in Beijing.

  A rider rushed towards him as if flying, and the sergeant told him, "Uncle Wuyang, General Zhonglang's eyes are red."

   "Why?"

   This is not right.

  Su Dingfang is quite old, and also a veteran, how could he be so emotionally leaked?

  The so-called landslides in front of the eyes without being surprised, this is talking about the general of the army.

   Once the leading general is happy and angry, it will have a great impact on his subordinates, so the best thing is to be calm.

"I gonna go see."

   Jia Pingan didn't know who had stabbed Lao Su's lung tube, so he hurried away with someone.

   "Jingguan will set it up soon!"

  Before he left, he did not forget to explain this.

  The enemy troops ahead are fleeing desperately.

  Su Dingfang's eyes were red, and if he caught up with him, he would kill him with a knife.

   "The old man is coming."

   Those Koreans were screaming.

   "Siege and kill him!"

   Someone took the lead, and more than ten riders reined in their horses and turned around, gnashing their teeth.

rush!

   One knife!

   One knife!

  Why?

   How many more than twenty years can one live?

  In the past twenty years, Su Dingfang watched other generals lead the army to fight. In Chang'an City, he was still staying at the left guard. Those generals were gradually promoted and conferred titles, but he was still that Zhonglang general, unremarkable...

  In the past twenty years, the first emperor never looked at him more.

Why?

   Just for him to plunder!

  But that is the enemy!

  Su Dingfang stared wide-eyed, "Kill!"

  He rushed out alone, with corpses lying on the ground behind him!

  The old man once led two hundred cavalry to raid the Turkic camp. Was the old man afraid?

  Hundreds of riders gallop ahead.

   "That veteran is here again!"

   The shouts were full of disbelief.

   Bravery is no problem.

   But this general Tang has gray beard and hair, where did he get so much strength?

   "He was the one who beheaded Damoda, with one blow!"

   Someone said with red eyes: "Revenge for Damoda!"

  Two brave generals turned around.

   This is their hope.

   As long as this veteran is beheaded, the morale of the Tang army will plummet, and then they may have another counterattack.

  Everyone turned their heads on horseback.

   This look...

  The sword flashes and the roar is like thunder!

   "Your Majesty!"

  Su Dingfang rushed over.

   Behind them, the two generals fell to the ground, their bodies still twitching.

  The Koreans widened their eyes, and the hope in their eyes turned into fear.

   "Run!"

   Crash broke out.

  Su Dingfang hacked and killed all the way.

  He remembered that he held his head high when the late emperor was traveling, hoping that the late emperor would see him.

   But the late emperor's eyes slid across his face calmly, without a trace of emotion.

Why?

  He is puzzled!

   "General Zhonglang!"

  Jia Ping'an is going crazy!

  Old Su ran so wildly again, or he would directly encounter the enemy's follow-up brigade.

   "General Zhonglang!"

  He roared desperately.

  Su Dingfang rushed into the middle of the fleeing cavalry, brandishing a horizontal knife...

  Jia Pingan only saw the **** arrows shooting, and only heard those screams.

   "Brother!"

  Li Jingye suddenly pointed to the front and shouted: "What is that?"

  Jia Pingan slowly raised his head.

  Liang water is flowing slowly, and thousands of cavalry have just crossed the river and are gathering.

  They saw a veteran chasing and killing the defeated soldiers alone.

  The leading general waved his hand indifferently, "Kill him!"

  Thousands of cavalry launched an impact!

   "General Zhonglang! Come back!"

  Jia Pingan led more than ten riders to chase and shout desperately.

  Su Dingfang reined in.

  An enemy soldier in front knelt down and kowtowed frantically.

   The horizontal knife passed by.

  The **** horizontal knife is pointing forward.

  The gray beard and hair were blown by the wind.

   "Kill the enemy!"

   Ride alone!

   Ask for a monthly pass!
