The cavalry led by Liang Hong attacked the Goryeo army like a sharp sword. In a moment, the Goryeo army was completely defeated. 15
Cui Mingyuan was also stunned at this moment. The strength of Liangshan's army was beyond his expectation. If only Han Shizhong's team was here, he might be able to block it. But now that Liang Hong appeared so suddenly, he could no longer stop it.
Unable to resist.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Cui Mingyuan said hurriedly.
At this moment, a hail of arrows came over, and a large group of soldiers beside Cui Mingyuan fell. Cui Mingyuan barely missed being hit by the arrows, but he was already frightened.
Cui Mingyuan himself escaped with dozens of people, and the rest of the Goryeo soldiers also fled in all directions. Cui Mingyuan has decided to wait until they escape to a safe place before gathering the troops. Although Liangshan's cavalry is powerful, they are not large in number, and they may still be able to win.
Opportunity.
"Follow me and chase!" Liang Hong "yu" saw the retreat of the Goryeo army, and did not immediately join up with Han Shizhong. Instead, he led the cavalry to pursue the retreating Goryeo army.
The husband and wife cooperated very well. Liang Hong "yu" went to chase the defeated troops, while Han Shizhong ordered his men to rest on the spot.
The soldiers sat down to eat cakes with almost no noise, while the horses ate grass beside them.
It was already dark, and about an hour had passed before Han Shizhong said, "Let's set off."
The battalion commander next to him asked in surprise, "General, do you want to set off now?"
Han Shizhong said, "This is natural. Although the enemy army has been defeated, there are still a lot of them. We must destroy all the defeated troops and cannot let a single defeated army return to Kaijing City."
At that moment, Han Shizhong led his soldiers and horses towards the direction of opening the capital. When he came to the area of the current Banmen store, he continued to rest and waited for the arrival of the defeated troops. When he heard the footsteps of the defeated troops, Han Shizhong took his
The soldiers and horses rushed over, and they charged and killed for a while.
The remnant Goryeo army was already exhausted under Liang Hong's pursuit. When they encountered Han Shizhong's troops again, a large number of them were killed and wounded immediately.
In the next three days, Han Shizhong and Liang Hong took turns to rest, using the speed of the cavalry to continuously chase and kill the remaining Goryeo army, without giving the remaining Goryeo army a chance to rest. The two of them were like chasing sheep.
The same as the shepherds, except that the sheep will not die, but the Korean remnants they are chasing are constantly dying, and the number of the Korean remnants is getting smaller and smaller.
In three days, 20,000 Goryeo troops were almost wiped out by 2,000 cavalry, and almost no one could reach the gates of Kaijing City.
Han Shizhong had new feelings about the use of cavalry, and felt that the current cavalry seemed to be more comfortable to use. In fact, every good general continuously improves in battles. If there is no battle, no matter how many soldiers there are,
It is also difficult to achieve a qualitative leap.~~!-
When there were still 10 miles away from the capital, Han Shizhong and Liang Hong finally met.
"Husband, Goryeo's 20,000-strong army is no longer a threat. What should we do next?" Liang Hong came to Han Shizhong's side and said excitedly.
This was Liang Hong's first time leading an army, and she was extremely happy to be able to achieve such a result.
Han Shizhong gave Liang Hong a doting look and said, "Next step, let's attack the capital!"
"Ah!" Liang Hong was startled and said, "Husband, we only have 2,000 troops now."
"Two thousand soldiers and horses is already a lot! Didn't Wanyan Aguda use 2,000 soldiers and horses to raise his army back then? Our 2,000 soldiers and horses are enough to do a big thing." Han Shizhong said with confidence.
"Our military rations are limited. In the past three days of pursuit, our military rations are almost exhausted." Liang Hong said.
"There are so many Korean villages around, can't we rob them?" Han Shizhong sneered.
"Uh..." Liang Hong looked at Han Shizhong in disbelief. As far as she knew, although Han Shizhong was a great soldier, he was also influenced by Confucianism, and he also paid attention to "benevolence and righteousness" when using soldiers. He never
To do such a thing.
Seeing Liang Hong's surprised eyes, Han Shizhong said, "Hong, you can't be particular about means in war... Look at those Jin people, they all rely on war to support war. The more they fight, the stronger they become, rather than force."
Waiting for the military rations to arrive, don’t you think?”
It turns out that ever since Wu Dong told Han Shizhong about Wanyan Agu's fight that day, Han Shizhong studied "nv" masters every day, and at the same time continued to learn "nv" masters' fighting methods, so he even gave up many of the "principles" in his heart.
Liang Hong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay! We will attack the capital immediately, but we still need to notify the Governor's Office and let the Governor's Office know the progress of our march."
2,000 soldiers actually started to attack Kaijing City. For a moment, bows and arrows rained down on Kaijing City. At the same time, countless soldiers made rafts and prepared to cross the Kaijing moat and climb the Kaijing city wall.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening in Kaijing City. All the Koreans were horrified when they heard the loud shouts of killing outside.
In the palace, King Wangma of Goryeo was trembling all over at this moment and wished he could escape from this place immediately.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Grand Master Li Haoran broke into the palace, found Wang Ma, and said anxiously.
"Go and call Cui Mingyuan! I want to ask him how he lost 20,000 troops?" Wang Ma said somewhat hysterically.
Cui Mingyuan returned to Kaijing City at noon. When he came to the palace, Wang Ma discovered that he was covered with scars. Cui Mingyuan's face was full of tears, and he cried, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you!"
"What a good thing you did! All the soldiers and horses left behind in Kaijing City were given to you, and you didn't even bring anyone back! You deserve to die!" Wang Ma kicked Cui Mingyuan "hard" and cursed angrily.
.However, the physical fitness of the King of Goryeo was really poor. Cui Mingyuan didn't even feel any pain from his kick.
"Your Majesty, the plan for now is to quickly defend the city." Cui Mingyuan said.
"Tell me, how should we defend the city?" Wang Ma asked, breathing heavily.
"We still have 2,000 soldiers and horses in the city. In addition, we can recruit people and let them go to the city wall to defend." Cui Mingyuan said hurriedly.
"Okay, it's up to you! You and your brother Cui Mingshan are responsible for defending the city. You must defend it! Otherwise, I will definitely kill you." Wang Ma said weakly.
There were cries everywhere in Kaijing City. Kaijing City has not experienced war for 200 years, and the people here have an instinctive fear of war.
"What should we do? My child followed General Cui outside and hasn't come back yet." These are the family members of those 20,000 Goryeo soldiers.
"Are we going to be killed by the Han people?"
"What should I do?"
…
There were such cries everywhere. At this moment, a pair of people rushed out from the front. They shouted coldly, "You, everyone, go to the city wall! Follow me to defend the city!"
"Ah!" The people on the street were all shocked, and at the same time they were particularly frightened. They were unwilling to go to the city wall, but there was no way. The soldiers had already used knives to "bi" them toward the city wall. They had to help defend the city.
.
After they reached the city wall, someone immediately distributed weapons to them. In just half an hour, tens of thousands of Koreans participated in the defense of the city.
"We must defend Kaijing!" Cui Mingyuan said through gritted teeth as he looked at the Liangshan army that was constantly attacking.
Han Shizhong's offensive was astonishing, but it was a pity that it was impossible to break through Kaijing City. The city wall of Kaijing City was very strong. In addition, one side of Kaijing City in this era was surrounded by the Han River, and the moats on the other three sides were also formed by the water of the Han River. The moat was too wide, and it was difficult to rely on simple
The raft made the climb to the city extremely difficult.
If there is help from the navy at this time, it is not impossible to capture Kaijing City. However, most of the navy is now in the Yalu River area. It is impossible to prevent the main force of Goryeo from going south. It is impossible to help Han Shizhong. In fact, it was not thought of in the original battle plan.
Han Shizhong was actually able to attack Goryeo's Kaijing City directly. This can be regarded as an "emergency".
"Your Majesty, please wait on the city wall in person to supervise the battle." In the palace, Li Haoran grabbed Wang Yan's arm and said.
Although Han Shizhong was unable to capture Kaijing City, the soldiers and civilians in Kaijing City did not think so. Now Kaijing City was in a state of "hun" and "luan", so Li Haoran wanted to invite Wang Mao out and let Wang Mao calm his morale.
"How is this possible?" Wang Ma said tremblingly. He did not dare to go out for fear of dying outside.
"Your Majesty, it must be like this!" At this time, Zhang Yan, the minister of the Privy Council, also rushed in, knelt on the ground, and said painstakingly.
At that moment, with the support of Li Haoran and Wang Ma, Wang Ma left the palace and headed towards the city wall.
Along the way, walking on the street, many people looked at Wang Ma coldly, and Wang Ma felt more and more terrified in his heart.
"Your Majesty, go and say a few words to them." Zhang Yan said.
"Okay." Wang Mata said.
Wang Yu walked up to the people, looked at the people with cold eyes, and then heard the shouts of killing outside. For some reason, he couldn't say anything. After a while, he collapsed on the ground.
The shit "niao" flows together.
He originally wanted to boost morale, but instead of boosting morale, it actually made the people in the city even more desperate.
Li Haoran, Zhang Yan and others couldn't help but sigh when they saw Wang Ma like this, and hurriedly helped Wang Ma away.
The morale of Han Shizhong's troops was extremely high. Even though they knew it was impossible to capture Kaijing City, they still charged forward without fear of death. Several times they had to rely on improvised rafts and ladders to rush to the city wall, but were forced down again.
.
"This Liangshan army is just another 'nv' real person! It's so powerful, how should we deal with it?" Cui Mingyuan stood on the city wall, feeling more and more frightened in his heart.
Although the opponent only had 2,000 people, he felt that the entire Goryeo might not be able to stop these 2,000 people. If it were not for the tall city walls and wide moat, Kaijing City would have been breached long ago.
At midnight, Liangshan's offensive finally came to an end, but the horns of Liangshan's siege were still ringing outside.
Hearing the sound of the horn, the people in Kaijing couldn't sleep at all and were extremely frightened, while the Liangshan soldiers were eating and then starting to rest.
"Husband, Kaijing is the capital of Goryeo, and we can't capture it with 2,000 of us." Liang Hong said to Han Shizhong in the military camp.
"It's impossible to capture them, but there's no problem in scaring them. I've already sent the news back to Incheon City, and I believe the Governor has already made a decision." Han Shizhong said.
His information was transmitted through carrier pigeons, which were extremely fast. Wu Dong had fallen asleep, but was woken up by someone, and then began to read Han Shizhong's intelligence.
Wu Dong looked at this information and was pleasantly surprised. At the same time, he began to think about how to use this opportunity to get the benefits he wanted.
After thinking for a while, Wu Dong said, "Call Wu Yong."
