Chapter 417: Impulsivity is the Devil (Part 2)
Su Dingfang, a general in the Zhenguan period, was the most famous record of his raid in the east and Tujue with Li Jing. During the decisive night attack on Yinshan, he personally led 200 cavalrymen to the trap first, captured Jie Li Khan's tent, and made his first contribution to the attack on Dong and Tujue.
However, in this time and space, due to the appearance of Yan Fei, Jie Li was killed in advance. Su Dingfang lacked the chance to gain fame. Fortunately, people are capable of being always covered up, especially in the early years of Zhenguan, when many famous officials and generals emerged. So when Li Shimin was preparing to conquer Goguryeo, Su Dingfang was sent to Niu Jinda as a deputy general.
At this time, Niu Jinda came with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses behind him, while Yan Fei followed Su Dingfang and thousands of light cavalry to the city of Yingzhou first.
Originally, Yan Fei was planning to wait until the army behind came up before opening Yingzhou City, but unexpectedly, the guards of this city actually sent troops to fight and let the city gate open. This gave Yan Fei an opportunity to take advantage of Yingzhou City.
Unlike Lulong City, which basically only had defenders, Yingzhou City has tens of thousands of residents. In addition to the Fuyu people, the Micheans and Khitans, there are many Han people who left here when they conquered Goguryeo before, and of course there are also Han people who plundered from the border.
If Yan Fei continues to use blasting, the city will definitely be destroyed, but it will inevitably lead to a large number of civilians' casualties. Because the city's walls are high and thick, a lot of explosives are needed, which will inevitably affect the residents inside.
Yan Fei doesn't care about other people, but the Han people in the city still want to protect them as much as possible. Now that the gate of Yingzhou City is wide open, this is an excellent opportunity for Yan Fei. You can win the Yingzhou City without blowing up the city wall.
As for the Goguryeo cavalry that had already left the city, neither Yan Fei nor Su Dingfang cared. This is not to say that the Goguryeo cavalry were all made of paper and could be knocked down with a breath. But because the Goguryeo cavalry were full of iron armor, they were obviously heavy cavalry. Yan Fei's side was full of extremely fast light cavalry, and they could not catch up with them.
"Send a telegram to General Niu and tell him that the gate of Yingzhou City is now open. Whether he can take Yingzhou City before dark depends on when he can arrive." Yan Fei first instructed the radio transmitter on the side to urge Niu Jinda to speed up the marching speed, and it is best to leave the infantry and baggage directly to bring the cavalry. Then he began to prepare to defeat the Goguryeo cavalry in front of him.
It is to defeat, not to destroy. Because only by defeating these cavalry will they run towards the city gate so as to give Yan Fei a chance to occupy the city gate. If it is eliminated, the defenders will not open the city gate again for the sake of the dead.
"Use the tactic of flying kites." Yan Fei didn't care that he was just a record officer and joined the army, and directly explained to Su Dingfang, who was the general of the Central Army, how to fight. "You are fast and drag the Goguryeo people away outside the city. I will kill them as soon as possible. When they can't bear the casualties and flee back to the city, I will directly grab the city gate. Then it depends on you."
Su Dingfang and the Tang cavalry both witnessed how Yan Fei easily destroyed the walls of Lulong City. The terrifying power that was like destroying the world had already convinced them by Yan Fei. After hearing Yan Fei's words, they turned their horses and began to drag the Goguryeo cavalry that rushed towards the distance.
Yan Fei rode a war horse, and led two pack horses with large travel bags around him, leaving the brigade and moving slowly towards the outside line. Although the cavalry of Yuan Pure Land went to chase Su Dingfang, he also divided a team of more than ten riders and chased Yan Fei to prepare to kill this guy who was left alone for some unknown reason.
The whole team of cavalry was wrapped in iron armor, wearing a hideous mask, iron helmet, iron neck protection, iron armor, iron gloves, and iron boots on their faces. Even the war horses under their crotch were covered with full set of horse armor, and a long halberd was inserted in the deer-skin weapon bag on the neck, and there were spears, flails, shields and other equipment on both sides.
These armored horses are wrapped in black armor. They are covered with long swords on their waists and long bows on their backs. They are holding a steel horse spear over three meters long. The gun blade is sharp and sharp, exuding a cold breath.
The elite generals of the Yuan family were powerful. They rode their horses to chase Yan Fei. As soon as they entered the range of the bow and arrow, they took down their longbows on their backs and pointed them at Yan Fei.
‘Swoosh swosh swosh swosh swosh ~~~’ More than ten sharp wolf-toothed arrows tear the air and rushed straight to Yan Fei. The leader of Goguryeo even swung the longbow in his hand and turned his horse's head, pretending to show his coldness and calmness. But when he turned around, he saw that the subordinates behind him all went to the arrow bag to get sharp arrows.
The captain turned his head quickly and saw that the target he thought was undoubtedly dead was unscathed.
Yan Fei was originally riding a horse and trotting, and was preparing to start with the guns in his hand. But he didn't expect that the Goguryeo cavalry who were chasing him would shoot arrows so far away. What's even more exaggerated is that the sharp arrows they shot not only have a very long range, but also have very powerful power.
After waving the ak74 in his hand and knocking away the wolf-tooth arrow shot at him, Yan Fei narrowed his eyes and directly inserted the assault rifle into the gun bag. He reached out to pick up the hanged on the horse's butt, and Li Shimin gave him the divine bow that was said to be full of ten stones.
The ancient times mentioned the stone bow actually refers to the bow force of a bow. The calculation method is very simple, fix the bow on the wall and then hang a heavy object on the bow string. When the bow string is completely pulled open, the weight of the heavy object hanging is the bow force of the bow.
The measurement values of each dynasty are different. The Tang Dynasty’s one stone is roughly about 53 kilograms. In other words, if you want to pull a stone bow, you need a 53 kilogram pull force. And the ten stone bow is 530 kilograms and a half-ton pull force.
Half a ton, how thick the arm is to have this kind of power. Maybe there is really a kind of perverted state where you can run horses on your arms and stand on your fists.
Yan Fei didn't know if the bow Li Er gave him really had half a ton of bow power, but he knew that he could pull it open.
He turned around, took a breath and pulled the bowstring into a full moon, and slammed the arrow. Before those Goguryeo who thought the overall situation had been settled, the fingers without rings were loosened, and the sharp arrow flew out with a shrill sound of breaking through the air.
The captain who was wearing a cool and cool X had just turned his head and saw a sharp arrow whizzing through the sky. Because the speed was too fast, he didn't even have time to react. The sharp arrow had directly pierced the hideous face armor on his helmet and pierced the back of his head from his mouth.
The white, red and broken bones were sprayed out with the arrows. The huge force fell from the horse's back with a heavy body, and it hit the ground and splashed a large cloud of dust.
The remaining Goguryeo cavalry were stunned at first, and then their eyes were full of rage. Their captain was killed, and if they could not take revenge, they would have to die. When these more than ten cavalrymen just set their bows and arrows again, there were already a series of dense sounds of explosions on the opposite side.
With his strong arm strength and speed, Yan Fei directly used a continuous pearl arrow and shot dozens of sharp arrows at the Goguryeo people in a few breaths.
Seeing those cavalrymen with sharp arrows stuck in their bodies and shaking their bodies falling down from the horse and falling to the ground, Yan Fei hung the longbow back on the hook, "I can shoot arrows too."
‘Click!’ Assault rifle bullets were loaded, Yan Fei’s eyes turned to the dense group of Goguryeo cavalry like waves. The black muzzle pointed at the corner of his mouth, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared. "This is the real mobile target."
Yuan Jingtu's young face was full of impatientness, and he looked at the Tang cavalry two or three miles away in the distance, waved the whip in his hands and scolded, "These damn cowards and cowards! They dared not respond!"
The young young is a young young man who speaks without thinking. The generals on the side have a look of dissatisfaction flashed in their eyes, probably because they are anxious for this guy's IQ. The number on your side is almost twice that of the opposite side, and most of them are heavy cavalry. The opposite side is just a group of light cavalry who pays attention to speed. The real brain problem is that they charge head-on with you.
"General." A deputy general came forward to persuade him. "Our army has left Yingzhou for twenty miles. Since we are not chasing him, why not go back first?"
"Huh?" Yuan Jingtu's eyebrows stood up, and the horse whip in his hand blew directly on the face of the general. Amid the screams, Yuan Jingtu shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
He took thousands of cavalry out for a while but had no gains. This is something that Yuan Pure Land cannot accept no matter what. Because this will become a symbol of his incompetence. Therefore, Yuan Pure Land vowed in his heart that he must have enough gains to withdraw his troops and must not go back in shame.
"Where is Mo Daquan?" After venting his dissatisfaction, Yuan Jingtu frowned and asked why the deputy sent by his brother was not by his side.
"General!" A captain leaned over with an anxious look on his face and hurriedly reported, "General Mo was killed!"
"What?!"
When Yuan Pure Land continued to chase Su Dingfang and the Tang army's light cavalry, Yan Fei was not idle. He had three horses alone and had very small targets. He used assault rifles equipped with 100-round drums to accurately kill the cavalry near him on the periphery hundreds of meters away from the Goguryeo cavalry.
With the death of a large number of cavalry, the alarmed senior generals quickly came to check. Then their outstanding armor, flags and guards around them naturally attracted Yan Fei's attention. He raised his sniper rifle and easily settled all the generals and lieutenants.
As for gunfire, let alone the distance of hundreds of meters, the gunfire has become much smaller. Just now, thousands of cavalry gallop, and so many horse hooves trampling on the earth, who can hear the gunfire hundreds of meters away? The wind ears are almost the same.
When Yuan Putu, who was in a hot mind, noticed something was wrong, the five thousand soldiers he brought out of the city had already lost half.
The assault rifle fires extremely fast, while Yan Fei's shooting accuracy is very high. The environment is an open area outside the city. Therefore, it is normal to cause a large number of casualties in a short period of time.
Yuan Jingtu finally felt something was wrong, and he didn't care about his face and ordered to stop and retreat to the city. At this moment, Su Dingfang, who had been flying kites to lure Goguryeo cavalry, brought the Tang army to fight back and kill.
