Turbulent Times Chapter 1076: Different offensive and defensive battles (11)

The continuous firing of the crossbow at the front shot all the Goguryeo soldiers who tried to stop them, and the sneak attack team followed all the way in, throwing porcelain grenades at the densely populated Goguryeo soldiers.

The rapid crossbow in the hands of the sneak attack team showed its power in this kind of close-range night battle. The rapid blow caused the collapse of the Goguryeo soldiers and auxiliary soldiers behind the earth wall. The attack team quickly rushed along the two wings of the earth wall, After firing the eight arrows on the rapid crossbow, he drew out his long sword and fought **** battles with the resisting Goguryeo soldiers.

At this time, Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba each led a small team of elites, and continued to advance deep behind the earthen wall, beheading a large number of Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers stationed there. They fled in a short period of time, and trampled on each other in the dark, causing countless deaths and injuries, causing complete chaos behind the Gaogouli earth wall, and even directly affecting the Goguryeo soldiers who were struggling to resist, and this is exactly the effect Wang Junlin's night attack wanted to achieve .

Wang Junlin looked at the flickering flames from the top of Bailing City, and he heard the screams of Goguryeo soldiers in his ears. To the ear, war seems to be a kind of enjoyment at this moment, of course, the premise is to gain the advantage of victory and kill and injure the enemy in large numbers.

…

The night attack lasted for a quarter of an hour. The Goguryeo soldiers finally had a clear direction and mobilized their troops to counterattack the middle. Li Xuanba and Luo Shixin were brave and invincible, like two bulldozers. No one could stop them. The people who passed by were turned on their backs, and the team led by them advanced very quickly, directly killing the Goguryeo place where the shield chariot and the catapult were placed, and lit the fire oil tank prepared in advance and put it on top. After these wooden tools ignited a big fire, He insisted on penetrating the encirclement circle around Goguryeo, and under the support of others, they withdrew from the earthen wall together, and took away all the wounded of their own who could be found in a hurry.

This attack was like a storm, making full use of the shortcomings of the Goguryeo Army's earthen walls to deal a fatal blow to the enemy. The Goguryeo soldiers stationed at once lost more than a thousand people, more than two hundred shields The car and fifteen trebuchets were burned, and they were disturbed all night. They were so nervous that they couldn't even launch an effective offensive the next day.

After Wang Junlin witnessed the whole process of the sneak attack, he suddenly felt confident, and Liu Yidong also suddenly felt extremely firm in his confidence.

Wang Junlin patrolled the wounded soldiers overnight, and Yang Kongchan endured the discomfort and followed them all the time. Wang Junlin also specially received the members of the night raid team. These soldiers were covered in blood and dirt, but their morale was like a rainbow. A night attack of 500 people achieved great results, but they only lost more than 70 people.

…

…

In the morning, it was just dawn.

Yuan Gai Suwen held the fast crossbow in his hand, his face was very ugly. It was found in the morning. It came from a soldier who was shot dead by a bow and arrow from Wang Junlin's side and captured two soldiers from Wang Junlin's side. The wounded, unfortunately, the capture is not too many.

The night camp rule set by Yuan Gai Suwen is that everyone guards their own camp at night and must not leave the line of defense. Only after receiving a clear order from the coach can they attack.

However, the situation last night was different from usual. The earth wall was attacked by Wang Junlin's side during the day. As a result, the rules he set caused the ministries to delay more time, and did not form a solid defense at night. One party seized the opportunity to attack at night.

In addition, Wang Junlin's side rushed along the inner side of the earth wall, causing great confusion to the Goguryeo soldiers. A shield car and a dozen trebuchets were burned, which can be said to have suffered heavy losses.

Especially those auxiliary soldiers fled everywhere. Many soldiers trampled on each other and caused casualties. Some of them even found it in the morning. The crash happened.

The important weapons that caused this rout were the exquisite rapid-fire crossbow and the terrifying explosive weapon in front of him.

The Goguryeo people have never seen what kind of terrifying weapon with flames appearing in the explosion, so the soldiers below are extremely terrified of this method. I don’t know where it spread. Many soldiers think that the Sui people will The palm thunder spell severely damaged the morale of the Goguryeo troops.

The length of this kind of fast-fired crossbow is only about two feet, and it can fire eight bolts at a time. It is difficult to see clearly at night, and most of them are in close combat. It is almost impossible to escape the attack of this kind of fast crossbow. Both killed and wounded their soldiers.

Yuan Gai Su Wen knows without asking, that this is a sharp weapon in close combat. He is most worried about how many secret weapons Wang Junlin has. Yesterday's night attack made the morale of the Goguryeo army very low. Yuan Gai Suwen knew the seriousness, he didn't even hold a military meeting early in the morning, and he was not in a hurry to launch an attack, so he ordered the troops to take the time to rest.

Yuan Gai Suwen knew that after the new defeat, it is not appropriate to force them, so today he did not summon all the generals to discuss matters, but instead recruited the generals who were in charge of guarding the middle road last night, and asked them about the battle situation carefully. Accompanied by Cui Shengjun and others.

"Jin Sanhu, tell me what happened last night."

Yuan Gai Suwen's tone of voice could not hear any joy or anger, but Jin Sanhu, who was in charge of the middle lane, could feel the suppressed anger.

"Returning to General, there are 300 archers behind the passage, 500 elites, and 500 swordsmen behind. Explosive weapons, all of which are made of coarse porcelain sharp heads, can explode in the air at the farthest distance of twenty steps, and there are such rapid-fire crossbows nearby. The soldiers had never seen such an explosive weapon before, and they panicked for a moment. At this time, the Sui people's sneak attack team came again, and the two leaders in the lead were invincible generals. Our people couldn't stop it at all..."

Yuan Gai Suwen frowned, as did Jin Sanhu

A veteran general who fought many battles in Goguryeo against Silla and Baekje. There was no mistake in his deployment. He would have no problem dealing with Wang Junlin. The quick crossbow is enough to deal with it, but who knows that the opponent still has this kind of terrifying weapon that can be thrown over and exploded.

"Take me to see the captured Sui prisoners." Yuan Gai Suwen thought for a while, stood up and said.

Jin Sanhu hurriedly led the way, and brought Yuan Gai Suwen to the military camp not far away, which was close to the north, and the stone throwers and long-range crossbows on the west hillside could not hit them, so the Goguryeo troops could rest nearby.
