The Fengwu Legion is somewhat similar to the Tiger and Ben Legion. In a sense, it can be regarded as Haotian's personal army. Although their combat effectiveness is not very strong, their excellent riding and shooting skills and horse control skills make up for their shortcomings. Moreover,
What Jin Zongbiao is worried about is that since the Fengwu Army that was supposed to be at Jinhua Mitsukoshi has arrived, are the armies from Hetao coming in a steady stream?
Jin Zongbiao didn't care about so much at this time. Hetao had obviously planned it and calculated that his army would launch a surprise attack today. With the addition of Korean soldiers, the total strength of the two sides was now very different. What Jin Zongbiao was thinking about now was not
Victory depends on how many soldiers you can break through.
Jin Zonghan, who was already entangled with the Legion of Honor, had no time to retreat and was already drowned in the vast army. No one knows how this one of the best generals in Haixi died. They only know that the Goryeo soldiers were cleaning up afterward.
On the battlefield, his body was found.
"I originally thought that my husband has not personally commanded the battle for many years and the sword has been covered with dust. I didn't expect that he is still so clever and the sword is not old." In the camp of the Hetao army, Xian Lianchen said with a smile.
"Of course the sword is not old, don't you know this?" Haotian said with a smile, Xian Lianchen blushed immediately and quickly turned his head to the side.
Haotian knew that Haixi would never let go of this opportunity, but he was not sure when Haixi would launch the attack. However, today was indeed the opponent's last chance. After all, it was only about thirty miles away from Shanhaiguan.
It can take him at most half a day to reach Shanhaiguan, so Haixi will not miss this opportunity.
Therefore, when setting up camp, Haotian left all the large and small carts behind, and then surrounded them to form a mobile city wall. This not only weakened the attack power of the opponent's cavalry to the greatest extent, but also provided a powerful attack force for his side.
Protect. Then use the opportunity to go out to search for firewood, etc., and dispatch the infantry of the Tiger and Ben Legion as much as possible, preparing to give the opponent a surprise when the time comes.
As for Fu Ruoshui's Feng Wu Legion, they had just arrived, and Haotian just lacked a powerful cavalry. Although the Feng Wu Legion was not as good as the Snow Lion Long Xiang and other legions, it could barely make do.
"My lord, the Tiger Army has surrounded 50,000 cavalry on Haixi's left wing, but the opponent's will to fight is quite strong."
"Tell Zhao Dawu, Dan Qiu and others that we will go on an expedition outside the Great Wall next year. In order to stabilize the situation in Tiandu Shengjing, I am going to leave a legion to guard here. If the Huben legion is really useful for patrolling and guarding, then stay in Tiandu
Shengjing can just use their strengths!"
"The Fengwu Legion has held back the 50,000 cavalrymen of the Golden Crow Heavy Troops on the Haixi right wing."
"Tell Fu Ruoshui, don't fight hard. The advantages of the Feng Wu Legion are their precise riding and shooting and their flexible skills to defeat the opponent. If you can't do this, then the Goryeo soldiers just lack a capable general. Xiao
The princess was originally from Korea, so you can consider it."
"Goryeo requested reinforcements. Haixi's offensive was too fierce and the defense line of Goryeo soldiers was already riddled with holes!"
"Trash, there are at most 40,000 Haixi soldiers in front of them. Not only do they have the advantage in strength, but they are also well prepared, and they actually ask for reinforcements? Tell Master Bu that our Hetao soldiers are very concerned about their failure to take good care of the food and grass supplies.
Angry, I hope Korea will not let us down again."
Xin Jiao said strangely: "Husband, didn't you say you wanted some Haixi soldiers to break out of the encirclement?"
Haotian nodded, but smiled: "But it must be done without Haixi knowing it, otherwise if Haixi is alert, it will be difficult for us to implement our next plan. Moreover, if it is really issued,
After receiving this order, do you think the Goryeo soldiers will still fight to the death? I highly doubt they will simply make way for the passage and let the Haixi soldiers escape in embarrassment."
"All the supplies have been mobilized in Shanhaiguan, which can support at least the needs of the 300,000 troops for one month. However, this is already most of the relief food for Beiyuan Road and Donghai Road." Zhang Nao said honestly.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chu will immediately mobilize supplies from Tiandu Shengjing to replenish the losses. Be careful, if something happens to the supplies again this time, Jiang Chenzhou and the others will definitely kill you." Haotian said with a smile.
Zhang Nao didn't take it seriously either, he chuckled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates are not those Korean stick men. If something goes wrong, I don't need you to tell me, my lord, I will cut off my head myself first."
Haotian frowned: "Don't keep your mouth shut about Goryeo Bangzi. If Goryeo knows about it, there will inevitably be some trouble. Besides, Ruoshui has already arrived in the army, and Bu Xianzhi doesn't dare to come to trouble you. She is not that kind."
So scrupulous."
The hatred between the Shenzhou Dynasty and Goryeo was indeed deep. The annihilation of Emperor Honglie’s expedition directly led to the decline of Shenzhou and the rise of the Three Northeastern Kingdoms, and the fall of Shanhaiguan led to the total collapse of the Sixteenth Province of Youyun. Even Goryeo became
Fu Ruoshui became the most loyal vassal state of Hetao. After Fu Ruoshui stayed in Hetao for so many years, Hetao still had strong opinions on Goryeo.
Zhang Nao had an idea, and he didn't have to buy into Bu Xianru's account, but for Fu Ruoshui, there were really few people in the whole Loop who she didn't dare to offend.
Jin Meiliu didn't understand why his 150,000 elites were reduced to this situation. In his opinion, even if his army fought head-on with the Hetao, it would at least be a neck-and-neck fight, but he still made a sneak attack.
It was really difficult for him to understand that he was actually killed by the opponent and fled in embarrassment.
Jin Zongbiao cursed an idiot in his heart, even though this man was his biological uncle. From the beginning, he opposed the dispatch of so many troops. Now in the land of ice and snow, with so many troops, it is impossible to hide from Hetao's spy. Moreover,
With more than 100,000 troops attacking together, this was a completely desperate move. Jin Zongbiao was not opposed to taking a gamble, but he was really not interested in such a gamble that had no chance of winning.
If he followed his plan, he would only need 30,000 to 50,000 cavalry, harassing and chasing him along the way, and he would definitely be able to exhaust the Hetao. But Jinmeiliu was not the best, not only did he not follow his own advice, but he also thought he was smart enough to ambush the army here in advance.
He was preparing to give the Hetao a surprise. He also didn't think about it. If the Hetao was really so sparse, how could the three powerful Northeastern countries be driven to the north of the river from Yuzhou Road, and then back to their hometown from Youyun Sixteen Prefectures.
"Charge! Don't stop!" Jin Zongbiao shouted almost at the top of his lungs.
The tenacity of the Goryeo soldiers exceeded his expectations. Now the opportunity was lost, and because his side's initial expectations were too high, the sneak attack plan failed, and there was a strong contrast. Although the soldiers were still fighting hard,
, but morale has dropped a lot.
"Zong Biao, Jin Qiliang's 50,000 cavalry have been surrounded by the Huben Army in Hetao." Jin Meiliu said worriedly.
"Jin Xiang, do you think we still have the strength to rescue him now?" Jin Zongbiao asked.
Jin Meiliu stopped talking. He clearly felt the hostility of his nephew, but the situation was indeed the case. If he hadn't insisted on his own way, how could the 150,000 elites have fallen to this point? But what Jin Zongbiao said was the truth. Now he has no ability at all. To rescue Jin Qiliang, I just hope that he can break through with his own strength.
Jin Zongbiao's face was very ugly, because Jin Qiliang was his loyal best friend, and most importantly, the 50,000 cavalrymen under Jin Qiliang's command were his direct descendants. But now he had no choice but to flee for his life.
Although Goryeo had a strength advantage and was well prepared, their combat effectiveness was indeed a bit too sparse. Facing the fearless charge of Haixi soldiers, Bu Xianzhi, although he tried his best, was still unable to block the opponent's attack. offensive.
Hercynian soldiers have always been known for their brutality. Although the most powerful ones have broken away from the Hercynian royal family, these elite soldiers who have long guarded the north and fought against the Abat people are equally tough. In addition, Jin Zongbiao brandished a broadsword in They can't do anything if they don't try their best to hold down the formation from behind.
The first to get rid of the entanglement of the Hetao army was the 50,000 cavalry led by Jin Wuzhong. Their close combat ability was far superior to that of the Fengwu Army. They were just eager to escape and were unable to show their true strength. They deliberately left behind a 10,000 cavalry team. , Jin Wuzhong was finally able to escape. Now, Korea was unlucky.
Bu Xianzhi was already stretched thin to deal with Jin Zongbiao's 40,000 infantry. Now with the addition of 40,000 cavalry, Goryeo's military advantage was suddenly gone. In desperation, Bu Xianzhi could only shrink the defense line. The task of blocking the opponent seemed to be It can't be completed, but at least you can't bury all your tens of thousands of soldiers here.
The Haixi soldiers did not dare to stay, and the 80,000 infantry and cavalry plus the more than 10,000 Jinqiliang cavalry who luckily broke out from the Huben Army hurriedly fled. Naturally, the Hetao side would not let the opponent get what they wanted, and 200,000 soldiers fought back across the board, losing the I spared no effort in logistics and pursued him.
When leading his own soldiers to pass by Bu Xianzhi, Haotian dismounted specifically, looked at the white-haired Bu Xianzhi, and sighed: "Master, there is no need to blame yourself, the Korean soldiers have done their best."
Bu Xianzhi felt relieved. With Haotian's words, at least no one dared to say anything more. He smiled bitterly and said: "But we still let the other party escape." In fact, Goryeo's losses were not big, because the fighting lasted only a short time. , and after all, we had already prepared, so even if we include the seriously injured, the number is less than 10,000.
"Master, the main force in Haixi has fled. There should be no enemy harassment along the way from Shanhaiguan to Lidburg. Well, the Korean soldiers are exhausted from fighting for a long time, so why not escort the remaining strategic materials in our camp? Li De Fort, and protect the safety of the transportation road from Shanhaiguan to Li De Fort, what do you think?"
From the beginning, Haotian never thought of letting Haixi go so easily. The army retreated just to let Haixi chase. It is true that the logistics supplies in the Hetao were burned, but the Hetao had been burned down a few years earlier. They were preparing to send troops outside the Great Wall. As the front line of Hetao's attack outside the Great Wall, Youyun Sixteen Prefectures naturally have a lot of supplies. The most important thing is that the Feng Wu Legion in Hetao has already gone north, and the pure cavalry Feng Wu Legion has already gone north. He had even arrived at Shanhaiguan, so Haotian resorted to a trick, but Haixi, who couldn't hold himself back, was fooled.
Bu Xianzhi also felt that he was ashamed to show off to others. He boasted about Haikou at first, but ended up losing twice. Although Hetao didn't say anything, he was also very shameless to show off to others. Thinking of the heavy losses suffered by the Goryeo soldiers, he really needed to take a rest, so
He nodded in agreement.
Pursuit, constant pursuit. Because the Hercynian cavalry has to cover the retreat of the infantry, the speed is naturally not much faster. The pursuit part in Hetao is all cavalry, and the 50,000 infantry of the Huben Corps and the soldiers of the Legion of Honor are cleaning up behind.
The remaining Hercynian soldiers. Fortunately, the snow on the ground was thick and the speed of the cavalry had been reduced a lot, so the Hercynian side could still sustain it for a while.
However, good fortune comes unparalleled, and misfortune never comes alone. In an area called Pine Forest less than twenty miles away from Liedeburg, a cavalry suddenly attacked the Haixi soldiers who were fleeing in embarrassment. As soon as Jin Zongbiao saw the flying flag, he
Suddenly he groaned in pain: Azure Dragon Legion! Unexpectedly, the Azure Dragon Legion came anyway.
Jin Zongbiao did not think that Jin Zongwu could contain Xingeng's 100,000 cavalry, but he could only hope so extravagantly. After all, if an army like his with low morale and lack of supplies encountered the Green Dragon Legion that was accustomed to the climate outside the Great Wall, it would definitely be worse.
No trace of the Green Dragon Legion was found along the way. Jin Zongbiao was secretly rejoicing, but he didn't expect that the other party was already waiting here.
"Hey, that's not right!" Jin Zongbiao suddenly said doubtfully.
Although Jin Meiliu looked pale, he still turned his head and asked: "What's going on?"
"There are only 50,000 cavalry. The total strength of the Blue Dragon Legion is 100,000. Where did the other 50,000 cavalry go?"
Jin Mei Cang snorted and said, "It must have been restrained by Zong Wu."
Jin Zongbiao sighed in his heart. If Jin Zongwu could contain Xinke's 100,000 troops, then Xinke would have died on the battlefield countless times: "The other party's other 50,000 cavalry must be ambushing nearby."
The 50,000 cavalrymen of the Qinglong Army were actually led by Xinke himself. With Xinke, one of the best generals in the world today, the Hetao cavalrymen who were waiting for work were naturally unstoppable. Although the Haixi army was also an elite who had experienced hundreds of battles, these
The bandit was constantly being chased and beaten by the river, which consumed a lot of morale and energy. Jin Zongbiao tried his best but could not stop the opponent's offensive.
When facing the Huben Legion cavalry, although the opposing warriors were quite excellent in terms of fighting spirit and fighting skills, Jin Zongbiao was still able to keep his defense line from collapsing, and he could even bite back from time to time. But now, facing
With the Qinglong Legion led by Xin Ke himself, Jin Zongbiao was struggling.
"The five great generals of Hetao are indeed worthy of their reputation. When their army showed a slight flaw, they pounced on them." Jin Zongbiao thought with a wry smile.
Now he has only about 70,000 elite soldiers in total, including less than 30,000 infantry and about 40,000 cavalry. Even under the best circumstances, he cannot guarantee that the 70,000 soldiers in his hands can block the letter-engraved five
Thousands of cavalry charged, not to mention the fact that they were now trapped and lacked horses.
Misfortune never comes singly. Before Jin Zongbiao could break through Xingke's defense line, there were waves of horse hoofbeats coming from behind. When Jin Zongbiao looked back, he saw that the Tiger and Phoenix Army from Hetao had already caught up.
"Get ready to break out!" Jin Zongbiao gritted his teeth and said. The situation is now very clear. What the Hetao is best at is defeating and annihilating the opponent during the pursuit. Jin Zongbiao knows this trump card of the Hetao very clearly. He had many of them back then.
He has received close care from Loop. Moreover, the target has been surrounded by more than 100,000 cavalry. If we don't break out, the whole army will be annihilated.
Jin Meiliu quickly said from the side: "After the infantry is broken, they are slower, so we should let the cavalry go first."
Jin Zongbiao nodded painfully. In this case, it meant that he had to stay here, but he had no choice at all. The infantry left behind must have someone who is strong enough to suppress the situation. Otherwise, I am afraid that the cavalry would just
Leave and the infantry immediately collapses.
"Jin Xiang, you lead the cavalry and go first. Remember, don't go to Lidburg!" Jin Zongbiao took a deep breath. He had already guessed the purpose of the Loop. Most likely, he was waiting for him to rush towards Lidburg.
Retreat, and then take advantage of the chaos when the army enters the city to suddenly rush into the city. The 50,000 cavalry hidden in the letter are probably waiting near the city gate now.
Jin Meiliu was very puzzled, but he didn't have time to say anything at this time. He got on his horse and rushed out with Jin Qiliang and Jin Wuzhong. When he turned around, he happened to see Jin Zongbiao leading 30,000 infantry towards the south.
Kill the coming Hetao cavalry.
Regardless of the positions of both sides, the Hetao soldiers admired the courage of Jin Zongbiao and his 30,000 Haixi infantry. With 30,000 exhausted Haixi infantry, they not only held back at least 20,000 Xinke Qinglong Army cavalry, but also
Moreover, the 100,000 cavalry of the Huben Army and the Fengwu Army were blocked for two full hours. Even the elite of Hetao's hundreds of battles would be difficult to achieve this level under such circumstances, but Jin Zongbiao did it.
Jin Zongbiao, the eldest son of Haixi King Jin Mei Cang, joined the army at the age of fifteen. He fought hundreds of battles in his life and fought against all the surrounding forces except Bai Jing. Although he did not win every battle, his reputation for bravery was still spread beyond the Great Wall.
, was the only general in the Haixi Dynasty who could take action. At the end of 625 in the Chinese calendar, in order to stop the Hetao army, he fought with 30,000 exhausted troops in the pine forest, and the entire army was annihilated. He was brave and tough, and although he was injured for more than 30 years,
However, he still refused to retreat until his death. In order to prevent his body from being built into the city by the river, when it was impossible to do anything, he cut off his left arm and legs and cut himself with a horizontal knife.
This is Qiu Mu's review of Jin Zongbiao in his biography. It is only two hundred words long, but it fully describes the style of this famous Haixi general. Haotian, who followed behind, was silent after seeing Jin Zongbiao's body.
Finally, he signaled to the soldiers in Hetao to dig a pit and bury him. Jin Zongbiao was also the only general of the Haixi Dynasty buried in Hetao.
