Chapter 209: The Result of the Battle of the Five Dragons Valley
、、、、、、、、、、
"Assault of the whole army! I'm here! I fight! I win! Kill!!! Yu Ming shouted with all his might, his voice like a dragon's groan.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The whole army of the Sui army shouted wildly and swarmed up, and the 1,000 heavily armored iron cavalry took the lead and rushed towards the stunned enemy cavalry.
Yu Ming urged the horse forward again, and killed it with his iron horse. In the face of these already flustered cavalry, he killed dozens of enemies in an instant, running rampant and unscrupulous, which made his soldiers enthusiastic and morale boosted!
There are still some die-hard people among Eozhide's subordinates who still beat their horses and surround Yuming, trying to avenge Eozhide.
Yu Ming saw the enemy rushing forward, but he was not afraid, he only smiled coldly, and carried the immortal decision in his body, seeing four with his eyes and listening to all directions. A silver-white horse lance flew up and down, and every time it stabbed out, an enemy cavalryman would fall off his horse.
Although these enemy troops were not afraid of death, they saw that Yuming was invincible and difficult to resist, and they still couldn't help but be afraid in their hearts.
Yu Ming only felt that the internal force was in full swing in the battle, running rapidly, impacting an invisible diaphragm in his chest. The momentum was relatively small at first, but then it grew larger and larger with his mental method. In the end, he finally broke through the diaphragm with a burst of energy.
He took a quick look, and Fang was pleased to find that he had miraculously broken through to the middle stage of the Divine Transformation Period in the battle just now. Originally, under normal circumstances, it would be at least a year or two before he broke through. But in this iron-blooded battlefield between life and death, he actually stimulated the potential of his body and broke through the bottleneck in one fell swoop.
At this time, Yu Ming only felt a stream of heat swimming between the five internal organs in his body, penetrating deep into his seven meridians and eight veins and every pore, blood vessel, and skin in his body, giving him a feeling of being reborn.
"It seems that what Master said about this immortality must have the effect of changing the human physique, and what he said is true!" Yu Ming said secretly in his heart. For Li Jing, the master, he admired it more and more.
Li Jing's martial arts, military talents, and people are all exemplary.
In fact, this battle has been going on for a long time, for a whole day, and today alone, it has been fought fiercely from early morning to noon, and it looks like it will be fought from noon to dusk. The soldiers of the Goryeo Army were actually exhausted.
Now they are sleepy, and most of the people who have been fighting for a long time have become numb, and it is just an instinctive inertia that supports them to fight.
And the death of Eozhide can be said to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. Let those 10,000 light cavalry be the first to collapse. And with the collapse of the cavalry, it was like a chain reaction, triggering the rout of the infantry.
Yu Ming led a thousand ironclad heavy cavalry to kill from behind Gao Jianwu's infantry, and the shouts and shouts were overwhelming, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Under the front and rear attacks of the Goryeo army, the morale of the army was in turmoil, and they had already reached the limit of physical strength and mental strength, even if Gao Jianwu personally beat the drum in the rear, he could no longer mention the brave battle.
As the sun set, the golden sun shone in front of the Wulong Valley, the Sui army of more than 40,000 people, the whole army was exhausted, and the 50,000 Goryeo army was defeated! Gao Jianwu was also killed in the chaos! The Battle of the Valley of the Five Dragons ended.
At the same time, the 5,000 Goryeo coalition soldiers led by Kubrai, after integrating the Goryeo troops that had previously divided the siege of the city, joined forces in one place and attempted to attack Liaodong City, but it also failed. The steppe tribes were not good at attacking cities in the first place. Under the siege of Lin Mo's 20,000 guerrilla army and the original defenders of Liaodong City, Kubrai wiped out the whole army, but fortunately, he was fast, and finally picked up a life and fled back to the Tiele Department.
In accordance with Hu Sizheng's plan, Wei Chi Jingde sent 10,000 troops, dressed in Goryeo army clothes and armor, and escorted dozens of well-dressed female doctors and nurses to open the gate of the Goryeo army's grain and grass camp. Then after these female doctors and nurses were sent to the Yuanrong tent, they suddenly broke out and attacked and killed this lustful general. The Goryeo army's grain and grass camp was suddenly in chaos.
Wei Chi Jingde took the opportunity to set fire to the grain and grass, but the Goryeo army was outnumbered and could not organize effective resistance at all. Although Yuanzuo received the report and rushed to the rescue with his army, he was picked off his horse by Wei Chi Jingde and died.
Yuan Zuo died, and the Goryeo army had no intention of resisting, and was killed by the army led by Wei Chi Jingde, and all the grain and grass were burned.
The next day, upon learning of the death of the Lord, the Goryeo coalition army, which had burned the grain and grass camp, immediately collapsed. The people they stayed behind in the camp were the rabble gathered from various departments of the Liaodong grassland, and the real Goryeo army had already been taken by Gao Jianwu to Wulong Valley to participate in the war.
The Ji army, under the leadership of Park Yongzheng, was the first to retreat back to China. His reasons are also very good, now that there is no food, the Goryeo army will definitely be defeated. He had to go back and report to the king to discuss what to do.
After the Ji army made a start, Tiele, Sumo, Heishui and other tribes also retreated one after another and returned to their respective tribes.
And wandering around the periphery, ready to find an opportunity to attack, after learning that his own camp collapsed, all the grain and grass were burned, and the two armies of Kubulai and Gao Jianwu were all wiped out, they also immediately died down, and there was no intention of advancing. On the contrary, he also had an idea, and sent an envoy to see Yuming, wanting to ally with the Great Sui and jointly attack Goryeo. I was a back-bone.
Although Yu Ming looked down on this treacherous Khitan. But his own army also suffered heavy casualties and urgently needed to rest and recover. Moreover, although the main force of the Goryeo coalition has been completely annihilated, there are still some troops east of the Yalu River, and its capital Pyongyang has not been taken. In this case, he also does not want to erect more enemies.
So, at the suggestion of Wei Zheng, Yuming agreed to an alliance with the Khitan to jointly conquer Goryeo. However, it was required that Abao Cave must send troops to march with the Sui army. Otherwise, after victory, he will not share his land and goods.
Abao had no choice but to agree. This is better than the Sui army treating him as an enemy in the future. Moreover, he believes that after pulling the tiger skin of the Sui army, he will be able to take the opportunity to crusade against the Xi tribe, Sumo, Heishui, Tiele and other departments in the future, and he will gain more.
Now, thousands of miles from the Sui army camp to Pyongyang are isolated cities and a barely defended Yalu River. In the city of Goryeo, there are only a few city guards with poor combat effectiveness and trembling. Goryeo not only has no danger to defend, but also has no available generals and soldiers to fight. Pyongyang, like a woman stripped naked, just waiting to be ravaged.
Yuming has no worries at the moment. After discussing some details with Du Ruhui, he sent a messenger to inform Abao of the latest battle plan and asked him to attack in the direction of Pyongyang.
At the same time, he handed over the command of the Sui army in the area on the left bank of the Yalu River to Wei Chi Jingde and Lin Mo. And he personally led the main force of the Zuoling Guard, the Shengjie Army, and the Broken Enemy Army, totaling more than 60,000 people, and marched to Pyongyang......
……
In August of the 10th year of the Great Cause, Woo Myung led a large army to capture a series of cities on the outskirts of Pyongyang, most of the Goryeo cities, after seeing the heads of Gao Jianwu, Uljideok, Gaisu and others that he ordered people to provoke with spears. All of them were frightened and frightened, and they fell in the wind.
Of course, there are also those stubborn parts, who swear not to surrender. For such Goryeo diehards, after breaking the city, Yuming unceremoniously ordered the slaughter of the city, and accepted the proposal of the Abao Caves, imitating the customs of the Khitans, and stacking the heads of the Goryeo soldiers in the city into an angular skull, known as "Jingguan".
His practice aroused strong dissatisfaction from Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng, who thought that it was unreasonable and cruel.
However, Hu Sizheng thought that although the marshal's method was cruel, it was the best way to conquer Liaodong. All ethnic groups outside the Cypriot side have the mentality of bullying the weak and fearing the hard. In the past, the Central Plains Dynasty was very kind to them, rewarded them with a lot of property, and married the princess of the clan to their leader. But these nomads still robbed the northern border cities of the Central Plains Dynasty, and they never had a trace of gratitude. On the contrary, it was the Han generals such as Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Li Guang, Ban Chao, and Li Jing who defeated them that made them happy and convinced.
Therefore, he believes that it is necessary to properly show strength and implement the policy of prospering those who follow me and perishing those who oppose me, so that the Goryeo people and all ethnic groups in Liaodong realize that only by submitting to Yuming is their way of survival, and the only way out. In order to make the camp in Liaodong control the land of Liaodong as quickly as possible.
Later developments also confirmed Hu Sizheng's inference. After the "Jingguan" was piled up, all the Goryeo cities surrendered, and none of the cities did not surrender, and even the lords of the two cities planned to resist desperately. He was also beheaded by his subordinates, and then surrendered to the Sui army. By the beginning of September, the entire Liaodong region had surrendered, except for Pyongyang, the capital of Goryeo.
However, Woomyung is not in a hurry, and almost all of the Koreans who still have the heart to resist have retreated into Pyongyang City, and he can just surround the city and kill them all in one fell swoop.
……
At this moment, the city of Pyongyang is already in chaos.
The originally bustling streets and alleys were full of people fleeing in all directions, and the streets were littered with garbage and fallen objects, and it was a mess. Most of the shops along the street have closed, and many residents are packing their belongings and preparing to flee south to seek refuge in Goryeo's allies. There were already long queues on the streets in front of the four city gates, and the city guards were maintaining order in the city. Noises, shouts, cries rang out in one place.
Now, even the surnames in the city know that the Great Sui Heavenly Army is about to reach Pyongyang, and the famous generals of Goryeo, Gao Jianwu, Uljideok, and Gaisu have all been killed, and the Sui army is unstoppable.
Pyongyang now lacks major generals, with less than 1,000 Janissaries in total. Moreover, these Praetorian Guards have never fought on the battlefield, and it is impossible to compete with the 60,000 Sui army.
In response to such a critical situation, Gao Yuan was anxious to convene all the ministers and held the most trembling court meeting in the imperial palace of Pyongyang City.
