Wrapping them into an army, they marched together.
On this battlefield, the Tang army saw no allies and no so-called morality and righteousness.
Anyone who does not fight for our Tang Dynasty will be our enemy.
Whether it's Japan or Silla, if you don't choose to take sides, I, the Tang Dynasty, will help you choose.
Die by the sword of the Goguryeo army, or die by the sword of the Tang army, or... live towards death.
The 50,000 foreign troops were driven forward in formation by the Tang army like a herd of ownerless cattle and sheep.
More than 10,000 Tang troops held guns to suppress the left and right flanks. However, their guns were not aimed at the front, but at the Japanese soldiers in the Chinese formation.
The Japanese soldiers held swords, halberds and shields, and there was a phalanx of bows and arrows in the rear. It seemed that this was a fully equipped army, no different from other armies in the world.
The only thing they lacked was courage and morale.
Driven by the Tang army, the team advanced slowly, and cries and howls were heard from the crowd from time to time, which was the fear of impending death.
Tang Jun on the left and right flanks looked at them expressionlessly, with contempt flashing in their eyes from time to time, but the muzzles of their guns were still firmly pointed at them.
Li Qinzai was riding a horse, standing at the rear of the army. He was surrounded by an angry-looking Jin Yuxin and several members of the Li family who were eyeing him covetously.
Looking at the slowly advancing Chinese army formation, Li Qinzai smiled with satisfaction.
"That's right, I finally have some allied temperament..." Li Qinzai murmured.
Jin Yuxin was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but said: "Having blackmailed the Allied commander, coercing the Allied troops into war, such a huge crime, will the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty really not be able to hold him accountable?"
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "That happened after the war. What I need is victory in the war. As long as I win, any sin will be a small sin."
Jin Yuxin said angrily: "We, the Silla Kingdom, will not expose this matter easily. Regardless of victory or defeat, after the war, I will go to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty in person to impeach you in front of the emperor. I don't believe that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will do anything for you." They ignore justice and morality and destroy the friendship between neighboring countries."
Li Qinzai blinked: "Hurry and go to the impeachment. Do you want to write the memorial now? I'll have someone prepare paper and ink for you."
Jin Yuxin was furious: "You are so...lawless! You brought 50,000 innocent people with no fighting spirit to the battlefield. What's the use of confronting the enemy? A collapse at the first touch is still a big defeat, and you lost these soldiers and horses in vain!"
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "I didn't expect them to win, but I can still do basic arithmetic problems. The enemy has 40,000 troops, and you have 50,000 against 40,000. Even if you exchange two for one, you can still consume the enemy's troops." Half, it will be much easier for me, the soldiers of the Tang Army, to deal with the remaining half."
Jin Yuxin said angrily: "You actually have such an idea. How can there be such a ruthless, shameless person like you in the world! Have the lives of our Silla soldiers been wasted in vain?"
Li Qinzai looked up at the sky and murmured: "I'm a little unhappy because of such ugly words. I really want to kill a prime minister to sacrifice to heaven..."
Jin Yuxin was horrified, and looked at the surrounding Li family members with their right hands pressing their swords and staring at him with unkind eyes. Jin Yuxin immediately realized his situation and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Li Shuai, the last general spoke too loudly just now, please You must forgive my rudeness!"
"Hey, that's right. Regardless of the Japanese or Silla kingdom, it's not you who died anyway. Why are you so angry? Even if all the Silla soldiers are dead, you can put all the blame on me when you return to Silla. And you are still the same prime minister as before, without any change."
"...By the way, what is the official title of the prime minister of your Silla Kingdom? 'Tall and superior', right? Tsk, how shameless, how can anyone praise themselves so..."
Jin Yuxin didn't dare to speak loudly, but he couldn't help correcting him: "It's 'Shanghai University'."
Li Qinzai put on a fake smile.
It doesn't matter how ugly your country's official positions are, anyway, it won't be long before your country is subjugated.
A scout hurried over on horseback. After dismounting, he ran to Li Qinzai and reported: "Commander Li, the 40,000 Goguryeo troops have already set out. They are about twenty miles away. In half an hour, the enemy's forward will arrive."
Li Qinzai's face darkened and he said, "Let's explore again!"
The scout saluted and left.
The summer wind blows on the face like waves of heat, making it sticky and uncomfortable.
Li Qinzai sighed and said: "Another fierce battle..."
…………
Goguryeo's 40,000 soldiers and horses came with great momentum. Of course, it is appropriate to say that they were frustrated.
Although Li Qinzai and Li Ji have not yet joined forces, Goguryeo is now in fact trapped in a two-front battle between the north and the south.
Li Ji's main army advanced steadily and had conquered nearly twenty cities in Goguryeo. Goguryeo was busy dealing with Li Ji in the north, and most of the country's troops were transferred to the north to resist. Goguryeo was really powerless with Li Qinzai's troops in the south.
Therefore, there was a magical operation of sending 30,000 people in advance and another 40,000 people. The capital of Pyongyang must retain more than 100,000 garrison troops. There are not many troops that can be used to deal with Li Qinzai.
Forty thousand enemy troops came to the Songshan Gang Plain and immediately set up their positions.
The military formations in the world are generally similar, and the same is true for Goguryeo's 40,000 soldiers and horses.
The shield array was in front, the bows and arrows were behind, the spears were behind, and there were even thousands of cavalry on the left and right wings.
Goguryeo is a mountainous country and it is difficult for mules and horses to travel, but Goguryeo's horse administration is very developed. The horse they ride is called "Guoxiama", which is probably a hybrid of the same breed as the Mongolian horse. It is short in shape, but strong and agile. It is suitable for walking in the mountains and can also be used in military affairs.
It has to be said that the fighting quality of the Goguryeo army is really good. In just one moment of burning incense, the formation of the 40,000-strong army has basically taken shape. The horses on both wings are constantly cruising around the edge of the formation, ready to move.
As the war drums rumbled, the Chinese army formation also mobilized. Following the rhythm of the drums, the army slowly advanced towards the Tang army.
The Japanese soldiers in the center of the battlefield became more and more panicked. They cried and screamed one after another. There were still some lucky people who tried to escape. After being suppressed by the soldiers of the Tang Army, dozens of them were shot in a row. Stabilized the position.
】
In front of the Chinese army formation, Liu Renyuan drew his horizontal sword and shouted: "Shield formation, defend!"
There was a loud bang, and the shields of the front line immediately blocked the front, and the defense was tight.
The gunners of the Tang Army on the left and right wings finally turned their guns and pointed them at the advancing Goguryeo Army.
When the enemy's forward had entered the 200-step firing range, the general of the Tang Army gave an order, and the three-eyed muskets on both wings opened fire first.
There was still a loud noise, and people were still on their backs. The enemy who fell to the ground was mercilessly trampled by the soldiers in the rear row. A large piece of the enemy's front line was missing, and then it was quickly filled by people in the rear row and they continued to advance.
The Japanese soldiers who lined up in the center were driven away by the Tang army in the rear, and they rushed to the sky. The Japanese soldiers were so frightened that they neither dared to escape nor to charge.
Both advance and retreat were dead ends. The Japanese soldiers in the front row were so frightened that they simply made up their mind. After roaring with fury in their eyes and eyes, they finally found the courage to risk their lives, picked up their swords and halberds and rushed towards the enemy.
The Japanese soldiers had no choice but to burst out with courage, and the situation on the battlefield changed subtly.
Under the volleys of three-eyed muskets, the Goguryeo army advanced fearlessly, while the Japanese soldiers also began to charge in a decent manner, and the forwards of the two armies were getting closer and closer.
Only then did the battlefield truly have the momentum of a confrontation between the two armies.
It's just that the Japanese soldiers charged while roaring in fear and despair, and the hysteria kept coming and going, which made people feel weird, just like the unwilling and frightened screams of a group of kidnapped meatheads before they died.
In the rear army formation, Li Qinzai saw everything and turned to Jin Yuxin in surprise: "Can't you tell, you Silla soldiers are still very courageous."
After saying that, Li Qinzai observed carefully for a long time, and finally he hooked Jin Yuxin's shoulders with sincerity and sighed: "You...you have something!"
Jin Yuxin's cheek twitched a few times. Doesn't he know better than others what kind of virtue the soldiers under his command have?
How can these guys have any courage? They clearly have a knife on their necks. If they advance, they will die, and if they retreat, they will die. It's better to fight.
He knew what was going on, but Jin Yuxin still had to bite the bullet to save face for the Silla Kingdom.
"That's right, our warriors from the Silla Kingdom have always been brave, one is worth ten, just wait and see!"
Li Qinzai was stunned when he heard this, and then said with great joy: "Come here, pass the order, the Silla army officers and soldiers will be the main attack, and all members will launch a suicide charge against the enemy!"
