"Retreat!" Yue Tuan narrowed his eyes, looked at the dragon bone mountain city dyed red under the sunset, and issued the order in a deep voice.
There is no point in continuing to stay under the city. Since it is no longer possible to attack, retreat is the only option.
Watching the Jianlu soldiers retreating in embarrassment with their corpses outside the city, bursts of cheers rang out in the city.
The danger of Longgu Mountain City is not only the fighting spirit and morale of the defenders, but also the fighting spirit and morale of the defenders. Although the defenders suffered casualties under the bows and arrows fired by Jianlu, they did not shrink back.
This is very similar to when Jianlu swept across the world, many famous cities and towns were destroyed in one blow, but they suffered a huge blow in the small city of Jiangyin.
Longgushan City was neither big nor famous, nor was it located on a major transportation road. Jianlu marched straight into it, and when they penetrated deep into Korea, they didn't even bother to come and take possession of it.
But such a little-known town made the aggressive Jianlu retreat in disgrace. These volunteers, who were not even considered regular soldiers, bravely defeated the ferocious enemies and defended their homeland.
Yue Tuo looked back again, a little worried in his heart. He realized that the invasion of North Korea was overwhelming, and I was afraid that it would not be so easy when he exited North Korea.
"Don't leave the prisoners, come and collect the corpses of the pigs and dogs in the city." There was a provocation from the city, and it was said very clearly in Manchu.
Yue Tuo narrowed his eyes, ignored the angry looks from the soldiers around him, turned around and rode away.
If the corpses can be collected, take them with you as much as possible. It is obviously not a wise decision to forcefully go to the city to snatch the corpses and suffer unnecessary casualties.
Huh, Zheng Fengshou let out a long sigh of relief as he looked at the enemy advancing further and further away.
He still had some confidence in thwarting the enemy's attack.
The steepness of the Longgu Mountain City, the number of defenders, the hatred aroused by the massacre of the city by the Jianlu, as well as the grain and grass materials sent by the Dongjiang Army, the mines made in a hurry, etc., are not something that the hasty Jianlu can easily break through the city.
factor.
"Master Zheng, you may not be willing to retreat with the Jianlu." Cui Xiaoyi reminded from the side: "The city's defense needs to be strengthened. How about I lead someone to keep vigil on the city tonight?"
Zheng Fengshou nodded and said, "Then there is Lord Lau Cui."
"That -" Cui Xiaoyi pointed to the huge rocks under the city. Some of them were tilted and rolled, and some were blown apart. "We need to re-bury them as soon as possible to scare away the courage of the captives."
Zheng Fengshou laughed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Cui, even if you don't bury the gunpowder and put a few huge rocks, it will be enough to scare Jielu."
Directional mines show their great power, not only causing heavy damage to the captives, but also casting a heavy haze on the enemy's psychology.
The explosion under the Dragon Bone Mountain City was just the beginning of a new way of fighting. In the future, landmines will bring more casualties to the prisoners, leaving them with nightmares that will never go away.
……………………..
Under the cold moonlight, the retreating Jianlu were equally miserable, and the gauzy moonlight seemed to wrap them in mourning clothes.
There were more than 600 casualties, and more than 300 corpses were thrown under the city. Unless it was absolutely necessary, any army attaches great importance to collecting the remains of the fallen.
Looking at the corpse of Pao Ze abandoned in the wild, no one is not sad, angry, and no one is not feeling chilled. What's more, those corpses will have their heads chopped off and become the enemy's show off of their achievements and evidence of rewards.
Yue Tuo had a gloomy face and let the horses follow the front riders. He felt that the prospect of this attack on the DPRK was not optimistic.
If the King of Korea does not surrender, even if he can reach Seoul, he will not be able to achieve the purpose of this battle. Moreover, the deeper we go and the more delay we have, the more disadvantageous it will be for our own army.
The key is that after Yue Tuo led his army back to the division, he suddenly discovered that the enemy's fighting methods had changed a lot.
I originally thought that with 2,000 elite warriors, it would be easy to defeat the rebels composed of civilians. However, on the way back to the army, we were constantly attacked, and sometimes not even a soul could be seen.
The defeat of Longgu Mountain City made Yue Tuo even more frightened. With the men and horses in his hands, can he ensure the stability of Yiju and Yongchuan areas?
When spring warms and the ice melts, the dense forests and criss-crossing rivers along the Ping An Road will become natural obstacles. The line of attack on North Korea may be cut off by the Dongjiang Army and North Korean volunteers.
It's a pity that Amin can't see this, and he doesn't know that the dangers on the way back are increasing day by day.
If you still think about being independent in Korea, you are hopelessly stupid. If you only have tens of thousands of troops scattered to defend the city, they will be defeated one by one, and they will all be killed in the Korean people's resistance.
This is not without precedent. During the Tang Dynasty, North Korea was occupied. In the end, almost all the troops stationed there were wiped out.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Red Scarf Army also entered North Korea. When they first entered the gentle country, they slept in the red and green trees every day. They were caught off guard by the violent Koreans, and the general Guan Duo and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed overnight.
Defeating North Korea is easy, but occupying North Korea is difficult. Huang Taiji and Yue Tuo also said the reason why they did not occupy North Korea was that too many troops were needed, and they were all used for garrisoning troops. Why fight with the Ming Dynasty?
Yue Tuan waved the riding whip vigorously, trying to shake off the irritation in his heart. There was a loud bang in front of him, which startled him. How could this whip be so powerful?
The team's march slowed down, and there seemed to be some problem ahead.
"What's going on?" Yue Tuo was already in a bad mood, and he became angry over such a trivial matter.
Before the soldiers went to investigate, soldiers had already rushed to report. There was a mine attack ahead and there were huge rocks blocking the road. We were sending people to carefully check and eliminate it.
Boulder, boulder again!
Yue Tuo rolled his eyes, impatiently dismissed the reporting soldier, and turned around to look around in boredom.
Jianlu was very unfamiliar with landmines and had no targeted methods. Faced with huge rocks blocking the road, he could only send people to investigate, and the explosion would only kill one or two. It was the most helpless choice, but also the one with the least casualties.
Method.
In the scope, Guo Dajing found Yue Tuo. Although it was not a straight line, it was only more than ten meters away.
The original crossbow arrows lay quietly in the slot, and the sharp three-edged hunting arrows were full of murderous intent, even making people's scalp numb. Guo Dajing took a deep breath and began to aim at the target.
Guo Dajing has always cherished the dozens of original arrows. He also recycled all the arrows he shot and tried to use his own modified ones.
Of course, in terms of accuracy, the modified one is definitely not as good as the original. The weight, length, thickness of the arrow shaft, center of gravity, and arrow cluster of the original are all finalized after scientific calculations and repeated experiments.
Therefore, Guo Dajing's shooting distance was controlled within fifty meters. But this time, he took out his precious original arrows to carry out his longest sniper attack.
