Chapter five hundred and ninety fifth: heavy casualties(1/2)

At this time... the mighty Goguryeo army was already heading straight to Incheon.

First, everyone noticed that there were sporadic Goguryeo scouts outside Incheon.

Suddenly... the whole of Incheon felt like a great enemy.

The Tiance army suddenly began to enter the state of preparation for war, and they decisively began to enter the crisscrossing trenches.

The artillery began to enter the artillery positions behind the trench in an orderly manner.

Hundreds of artillery are set on the southeast and northeast lines respectively.

The periphery of the trench is interlaced with horse-rejecting horses.

Even... there are some pitfalls to be excavated.

The new recruits holding rifles were a little nervous. Fortunately, they were often led by veterans, so the expressions of these veterans became much more relaxed. They were people who had experienced the world and were relaxed and comfortable in fighting.

Perhaps it was because the veterans easily infected these recruits; or maybe months of training gave the recruits a conditioned obedience. Soon, everyone entered their combat posts in an orderly manner.

The one who was most dissatisfied with was Xue Rengui. His heavy cavalry was arranged on the flanks and was only responsible for harassing and wandering. Obviously... Chen Zhengtai did not intend to use the heavy cavalry as the main force this time.

The guard camp is temporarily placed on the left and right of Chen Zhengtai as a reserve team.

Many people in Incheon City became frightened.

Many refugees who fled into Incheon immediately cried and called for their parents.

They thought that the Goguryeo army would go straight to the capital, so everyone rushed to Incheon, but they didn't expect that they were coming to Incheon.

Choi Yanqing was one of them. His father was appointed as the general of Baekje County. Although his father did not dare to leave his post rashly, his wife and children could not ignore it. Therefore, his father asked someone to hurriedly bring dozens of his mother, younger brothers and sisters, as well as some servants, and the Choi family's wealth, to Incheon overnight.

I thought... I could avoid war, but I didn't know that this Goguryeo actually came to Incheon with a bit of biting.

Along the way, Goguryeo was unstoppable.

Obviously, when the Baekje court realized that Goguryeo's target was Incheon, he did not dare to stop it. He reduced all his troops to the royal city of Siqi and Jinjiang to protect the royal capital.

Chaos began to appear in Incheon City, crying at dad and calling on his mother, Choi Yanqing had to take his mother and younger brothers to the pier with the flow of people.

Although they were unable to board the ship at this time, it seemed that they were closer to the ship, which made them feel a little more at ease.

Two more days later, more and more Goguryeo military horses began to appear. They first swept the nearby counties and counties, and then surrounded Incheon and was in a mess.

This is a 100,000 army, which is vast and scattered like a sky and a sunny day. The nearby Baekje guards did not dare to resist at all and had already fled in panic.

At this time... the entire outer periphery of Incheon was surprisingly calm.

Obviously, the Goguryeo people were also trying to inquire about the reality of Incheon and were not in a hurry to launch an attack.

The Tiance Army obviously had no desire to attack. They hid in the trench, as if they were enjoying the last trace of trepidity.

The weather was very cold, and a large amount of frostbite occurred in the army of Goguryeo.

However, the only advantage is that it is cold and freezing at this time, so there is no plague in the army.

Wang Qi and others have gradually recovered some morale.

This is actually understandable. At the beginning, they were frightened and were beaten by the generals to come to Baekje. After arriving in Baekje, they began to divide their troops and attack the county town. Obviously, Gao Yang realized that he had to reward the soldiers, so he led his troops to burn and kill them.

It should be noted that this is how people are. Wang Qi is a weak man. He was bullied by the officials and trampled by the superior generals and even the sergeant. However, when they were given a knife and allowed them to enter the city and village, when the sergeant encouraged them to rob them at will, Wang Qi's concerns about his father and brother, and the depression of practicing and marching these days, were vented at this moment.

His eyes seemed to have red eyes and turned into a wild beast, and he began to feel inexplicably happy.

And at this moment...a port was placed in front of them.

The generals repeatedly hinted that there was amazing wealth here and countless women and children.

So the Goguryeo army suddenly became as strong as the rainbow of morale.

They stared at the harbor lighthouse standing in the distance with their blood-red eyes, and at the heavy trenches in front of them...

Obviously... they did not realize what was the difference between Tang army and those Baijie soldiers who were like genius.

Gao Yang rode a tall horse and came to the front line, looking at the movements in Incheon from a distance.

Then, he smiled.

"Sure enough... there are not many soldiers. Their soldiers seemed like local rats and could not hide. Poor Chen Zhengtai was so trapped in his own cocoon that he sold the best armor in the world to Goguryeo, and they themselves... it seems that the soldiers didn't even have armor!"

All the generals laughed.

Because they did see... what Tang Jun was wrapped in was just coats.

It looks quite warm.

But in fact, without armor... the infantry accounts for the majority, so it is impossible for Goguryeo heavy cavalry to withstand the impact.

"It can be seen that people become greedy and dare to sell even the knife that cuts their heads."

Gao Yang said happily: "Let the soldiers rest for a day, send orders to reward them, kill chickens and sheep, and after a day of full food, they will break through Incheon."

"Here."

Gao Yang was overjoyed at this time.

The progress along the way is too smooth.

I really bought the right one.

Even though he knew very well that the true combat power of the heavy cavalry had not yet been exerted, the results were very fruitful.

At least when facing the Baekje people, it was almost one-sided killing.

At this time... my army was five times that of the Tang army.

Most of them are amazingly powerful heavy riders.

The Tang army was hiding here, but it was actually dead. Incheon had no city walls at all. It was just digging some ditches. To rely on this heavy cavalry that resisted the mountains and fields, it would be like seeking death.

He returned to the tent and summoned the generals to drink happily. After drinking, he was inevitably a little proud and said happily: "When I took down Incheon and defeated the Tang thieves on the sea route, we will immediately go north and go to Liaodong to fight with the Emperor of Tang. We will definitely beat Li Shimin to kneel down and beg for mercy! This Baekje country has little strength and has little wealth, but if we can enter the Central Plains, food, money and women, I can take it with the generals."

"Wansheng!" Everyone was blushing and responded excitedly.

That night, Gao Yang dressed in clothes and began to write a memorial, probably reporting on his arrival in Incheon, and promised that he could defeat the Tang army on the sea within a few days.

After writing, he asked someone to send it out overnight and then had a good rest for a day.

This day... the sky was very beautiful. Although the wind was still cold, there was a bright sunshine.

The bright sun dispelled the morning mist, and Incheon in the distance... slowly emerged in front of Gao Yang as if he had peeled off the clouds.

Fifty thousand heavy cavalry and 40,000 to 50,000 auxiliary soldiers spent the morning gathering and setting up a formation.

The flags of Goguryeo are clamoring in the cold wind.

Gao Yang rode his horse and slowly came out of the central army. Countless heavy cavalry were waiting for a standby.

At this time, Gao Yang narrowed his eyes and looked into Incheon from afar, and then sneered: "At this time, Chen Zhengtai was so scared that he was so scared that he was pissed off! What a pity, I won't give him a chance."

Then he opened his mouth and roared: "Send the order, attack!"

“Woo woo woo woo…”

The horns ring together.

The heavy cavalry that were about to move had already begun to take out weapons.

Wang Qi felt a sense of safety among countless heavy riders.

In the past, he felt that these heavy armors were burdens, which made him unable to breathe. He even wanted to get rid of this heavy burden countless times. But at this time, he was wrapped in this heavy rider and felt extremely at ease.

What's more, there are heavy cavalry around you, with many war horses sniffing or the front hooves digging the frosted ground.

Wang Qi still felt cold, his whole body was cold, and his body seemed to be stiff.

But... gradually... his blood began to surge, and his body slowly began to heat up.

The offensive order has not been issued yet.

People wait uneasy.

…………

In the trench, muskets had already emerged.

The "military coats" who crawled in the trench and were almost connected to the land were silent at this time.

Someone came forward and looked at the heavy riders in the distance, like mountains, which made people breathless.

The heavy cavalry still did not start the attack immediately, and was obviously still waiting for the units to prepare for the final attack.

But at this moment... the artillery battalion was ready.

They had already set up artillery positions, and the artillery was ready, and they pointed the muzzle at the densest place of the heavy cavalry in the distance.

A total of seven or eight hundred artillery pieces... were loaded with gunpowder and stuffed with shells.

Chen Zhengye was obviously very clear... Goguryeo is preparing for an attack now.

So at this time, the cover-type strike of artillery fire can make the enemy rush to launch a round of artillery attacks first when the enemy is in a hurry.

So... he blew the bamboo whistle suddenly.

The sharp bamboo whistle pierced the silence.
To be continued...
