039 Gaocheng is relieved

"It is a taboo for soldiers to fight on multiple fronts and make enemies everywhere, not to mention that Taifu Lu has not yet returned from Zhao State, and Zhao Guo's attitude is not clear, if he uses troops against Wei State at this moment, I am afraid that Zhao State will not sit idly by! At present, the top priority should be to concentrate on attacking South Korea with all our strength while doing a good job of defense, and welcome the return of 120,000 of my Great Qin soldiers led by Li Fuzi! ”

When everyone's attention was focused on whether to take revenge on Wei, Ying Zheng was the only one left in the court who cared about Li Ling's safety.

"Erchen seconded the proposal, but Erchen thinks that we should also send an envoy to Wei again, first, to investigate the safety of Wang Xiang, and secondly, to drag Wei by settling the dispute between the two sides, and then find another opportunity to use troops against Wei after settling Korea!"

Ying Zhengdu has already expressed his position, how can Cheng Chan be willing to be left behind?

You must know that the current court, for Ying Zheng and Cheng Chan, is not simply to share worries for Ying Yiren, but more to express themselves as much as possible, after all, Ying Yiren has not yet been crowned a prince.

"I think Mi Chen is quite suitable for envoys to Wei, and I will personally go back to Chu, so that the king can rest assured that he can boldly use troops against Korea."

The Empress Dowager Huayang spoke at the right time and directly made arrangements for Ying Yiren, and basically the matter was closed.

Soon, Mi Chen left Xianyang with Yingyiren's handwritten letterhead, and the Qin army began to move in full.

Wang Su once again led 100,000 troops and went straight to Gaocheng, aiming to join up with the Meng Fu stationed in Gaocheng as soon as possible and penetrate Korea eastward.

However, as a compromise for Wang Su to lead the troops, under the instruction of the Empress Dowager Huayang, Fan Yuzhi was directly transferred to the border and commanded the defense line of the Qin State against the Zhao State, which was the real main force of the Qin army.

......

The siege of Gaocheng has entered the third day, and Li Ling has not walked down the city for three whole days, after repelling the attack of the Korean army again, Li Ling almost fell from the city wall unsteadily, if it were not for Baili Meng's quick eyes, Li Ling was afraid that he would have been smashed into flesh.

When all the troops withdrew into Gaocheng, Li Ling thought that it would be much easier, but it was obvious that Li Ling seriously underestimated the military quality and army size of the main force of the Korean army.

In the previous battle, the two Qin armies combined to kill nearly 100,000 Korean troops at the cost of more than 40,000 casualties, and unexpectedly obtained intelligence support, Li Ling let go of his courage to think about it, and also felt that the so-called main force of the Korean army should only be about 150,000, even if the remaining remnants of the defeated army were 50,000, it was only 200,000.

The 200,000-strong Korean army had to divide its troops to pursue Meng's cavalry, and also attack Gaocheng, so the pressure on Gaocheng should not be very great.

But when the defensive battle of Gaocheng really started in full swing, Li Ling realized how ridiculous his previous estimate was.

The Korean army has invested more than 80,000 troops in the west gate of Gaocheng alone, and there are also 3 to 50,000 in the other three directions, with a total of nearly 200,000 people, in addition, the Korean army has 50,000 cavalry sent out to pursue Meng Fu, that is to say, even if the 100,000 troops of the Korean army have been eliminated, the current Korean army still has 250,000 people!

Moreover, these troops were obviously well prepared, if Li Ling hadn't quietly run to the vicinity of Gaocheng, I am afraid that these more than 200,000 people, plus the 100,000 people who had already been wiped out, would be able to wipe out all the 20,000 cavalry in Gaocheng without much effort.

The garrison of Gaocheng was in an emergency, and Li Ling couldn't care whether the *** in his hand would be aimed at him one day, so he took out eleven Type 85 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns at one time, and placed three in each direction to suppress them with firepower.

As for those 5,000 bullet chains, in just three days of defensive battles, they have already been completely exhausted!

Since there was no loader in the arsenal, Li Ling could only get out a large pile of ammunition, and then ordered the soldiers to be stuck into the bullet chain one by one to replenish the consumption.

But no matter how fast this thing moves in its hands, it can't match the consumption rate of machine gun fire.

After repelling the attack of the South Korean army again, all the machine guns have run out of ammunition, and if the South Korean army continues to attack at this time, I am afraid that all 12 machine guns will have to be dumbfounded.

"Go and find me both Wang Jian and Meng Wu."

Sitting on the ground, Li Ling, who was really unable to bear it, fell asleep directly with his head tilted after the arrangement.

When he slept, it was already dark when he opened his eyes.

"What the hell! Why didn't you wake me up! ”

The fire was raging, at such a time, the Lord General slept for a long time, and no one came to wake him up, how could Li Ling suppress the fire?

"It's General Meng who won't let it."

"Meng Wu? Uncle, why did Lao Tzu ask you to call Wang Jian and Meng Wu over, there must be something to arrange, and he won't let you call you? Did you put flour in your head and water it? Rubbish! Why did Baili come out of such a waste of you! ”

directly kicked Baili Meng out several meters away, and Li Ling almost fainted to death in anger.

"Master, why did Master cause such a big fire?"

"Angry? I didn't kill this stupid ...... King... General Wang? ”

Suddenly reacting, Li Ling turned around and looked at Wang Su standing in front of him, his eyes were about to pop out.

"Why, the master doesn't welcome me?"

"No, old general, how did you get here?"

Li Ling's mind was a little confused, why did Wang Su appear in Gaocheng?

"After I returned to Xianyang, the king ordered me to lead 100,000 troops to Gaocheng, but I didn't expect to encounter the siege of the Korean army, and then led the army to kill it."

It turned out that just when Wang Jian and Meng Wu came to Li Ling's side and were about to wake up Li Ling, the guards spotted the Qin cavalry that appeared in the rear of the Han army.

At this time, as soon as these two people are combined, just let Li Ling take a good rest, and the two of them work together to deal with the things in front of them, which can be regarded as a surprise for Li Ling.

So, Wang Jian defended the city, and Meng Wu selected 10,000 men to open the west gate at the right time after the chaos of the Korean army.

Originally, after the army entered the city, Wang Jian planned to wake up Li Ling, but Wang Su looked at Li Ling, who was sleeping like a dead pig, and finally couldn't bear it.

But what Wang Su didn't expect was that Li Ling's sleep was actually a whole day and a night.

Therefore, Li Ling thought that he had slept from the afternoon to the dark, but in fact, it had already been another day.

And on this day, with the 100,000 troops led by Wang Su to participate in the battle, the balance of victory and defeat on the battlefield immediately fell to the side of the Qin army, Wang Su and his fresh army killed more than 50,000 soldiers of the Han army at a negligible cost in only one day, completely defeated the Korean army, and relieved the siege of Gaocheng.
