Chapter 25: The Great War of Liaodong (5)

At the moment when the Goguryeo veteran Wang Zhi died, the Battle of Anseong entered a climax. The entire Liaodi army has been engaged in a full-scale war with the Goguryeo army with the commander Rong Yin. The sound of fighting and shouting on the entire battlefield was deafening.

Zhu Zhe, the commander of the Goguryeo army, rushed to kill the Liao cavalry led by Liu Sheng after the veteran Wang Zhi. Looking at the other two Liao cavalry rushing towards him, he couldn't care about anything. He hurriedly got off the command platform, jumped into his chariot, and shouted to his guards: "Go, go." ”

Even his own commander's flag was taken down.

At this time, Rong Rong, the commander of the Liao army, who led the main force of the Liao army and had already killed the Goguryeo army, knew that the general trend had been decided the moment he saw the banner of the enemy commander being cut down.

Looking at the scattered and fleeing Goguryeo army, he laughed and said, "Liaodi is safe! ”

Yeongam, the cavalry commander who charged the enemy's formation in the center, was the most blocked by the Goguryeo army. Seeing the banner of the commander of the enemy's army being cut down from afar, he could only look up to the sky and sigh! This is all my own arrangement! Every time the most dangerous and difficult combat mission is entrusted to his own son.

Seeing that the banner of the enemy commander was cut down by the cavalry led by Zuo Zong, and Liu Sheng, who was blocked by the veteran Goguryeo general Wang Zhi, sighed in annoyance and shouted at Zuo Zong: "Zuo nerd, you have good luck this time." ”

Zuo Zong laughed and replied to Liu Sheng: "Liu stunned, go and chase the enemy commander, he is in front." ”

Liu Sheng was overjoyed and said to the cavalry behind him: "Second and third sons, do you still have the strength?" ”

The cavalry shouted, "Yes." ”

"Okay, come with me to hunt down the enemy commander."

After speaking, he led his cavalry and went to hunt down Zhu Zhe, the commander of Goguryeo.

……

Ancheng County Ling Anyuan is the son of the local wealthy family, because of the border with Liaodi, and his own family has also had business contacts with Liaodi in recent years. Knowing the situation of Liaodi is far better than other local officials in Goguryeo.

was already about this expedition to Liaodi, and when Anzhi, the father of the patriarch of his family, discussed it with him, both of them were a little uneasy. But seeing that this time it was the simultaneous invasion of Liao by the Three Kingdoms, I also had some expectations.

But I didn't expect that the battle between the two armies would not be carried out in Liaodi, but in Anseong. What I didn't expect was that my own army would be defeated so quickly! So miserable!

Looking at Xiangguo Zhu Zhe, who was only carrying less than ten relatives, his hair was scattered, and an arrow was stuck in his back, and he ran into Ancheng in a panic. Seeing this, An Yuan's whole body trembled.

I looked up at the sun in the sky and knew that it was just past noon.

From the decisive battle in the early morning to noon, more than three hours, 120,000 soldiers of the whole country, this is defeated! It's only been a long time! It's 120,000 pigs, let the other party kill them, and they have to kill them for a day! This Xiangguo is incapable of this!

An Yuan scolded in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran over to answer Zhu Zhe.

Zhu Zhe ran into Anseong and took a breath. The Liaodi general who had just killed the general Wang Zhi led the cavalry of the Liaodi and pursued him behind like a fierce god, so that he didn't have the slightest chance to reorganize the army. The guards who followed him were also torn apart by the Liaodi cavalry led by this fierce Liaodi general.

The hundreds of guards who followed him were also killed by the cavalry led by this Liao general. Zhu Zhe, who was running wildly on the chariot, personally found that even the leader of his own personal guard, who was highly skilled in martial arts, stepped forward to stop him under the pursuit of the other party, and after only parrying three or two times, he was cut to the ground and died so much that he couldn't die anymore.

It's all like this, that fierce and vicious general is still fiercely chasing after him. In the process of fighting, he changed three chariots in a row, his weapons were cut off, and his helmet was knocked off. The other party didn't seem to be good at giving up, and finally fired a volley with crossbow arrows. If it weren't for the two guards who followed him in the car and desperately blocked it, he wouldn't have been able to come back. That's it, and he also got a crossbow on his back.

Nightmare, no, it's a nightmare! Before Zhu Zhe could see the infantry army in Liaodi, he saw that under the impact of the opponent's cavalry troops, his 120,000 army collapsed. What kind of cavalry is this, I have never seen or heard of it! I can sit on a horse firmly and do various chopping and shooting. The equipment is even better, and the blades of your own army can only leave a trace on the opponent's armor, and you can't penetrate it at all!

As the arrow was pulled out, Zhu Zhe shouted: "Kill me!" ”。 After taking the medicine, he looked at the Anseong officials around him, and said dejectedly: "We have lost this battle, you have to defend Anseong, I will hurry back to report to the king." ”

Then, ignoring the disdainful eyes of the Ancheng officials, he led his guards and hundreds of remnants of the defeated soldiers who fled back to Ancheng, hurried out of the east gate of Ancheng, and ran towards the capital Sushenggu.

After Sangkook Zhu Chul left, the officials of Anseong stood on the castle tower and looked out at the place where the battle was in front of them. You can only see the Goguryeo army in groups like pigs, driven by the army of Liaodi. Most of the army abandoned their weapons and knelt with their heads in their hands. How else to fight? The boss ran away, and the generals who dared to fight were also killed. No way, surrender!

The officials of Ancheng looked at each other, and finally looked at their county commander Anyuan. found that An Yuan, like everyone, was also earthy.

An Yuan saw that everyone was looking at him, and smiled reluctantly: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's go back to the Ya to discuss, see how I, Ancheng, should face Yan Jun?" ”。 When everyone saw An Yuan's expression, they already understood what to do. They all tacitly agreed, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "What Lord An said is very true, I will wait to go back and discuss?" ”

The officials came to the gate of the county office. I found that many local gentry with heads and faces were waiting at the door, including An Yuan's own father An Zhi. Seeing An Yuan and other officials, these gentry pleaded with a pleading face: "I hope that your lords, remember the lives of tens of thousands of people in Ancheng, and make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

An Yuan smiled bitterly, he had already made a decision, that is, he surrendered! He said to the squires: "Please rest assured, I will do our best!" With the lives and property of tens of thousands of people in Ancheng. ”

In the evening, An Yuan returned home and was called to the study by his father An Zhi.

"My son, how are you going?"

An Zhi looked at his son An Yuan and asked with a serious face.

An Yuan sighed, knowing his father An: "Father, now that our army has been defeated, all the officials in Ancheng have no heart to resist. If I insist on resisting any longer, I am afraid that I will offend the officials and squires in the city! ”

An Zhi nodded and said, "My son, under the general trend, how can you stop it!" You're right. For yourself, for your family, and for the people of the city, since you have made up your mind, let's do it quickly! Don't wait for the Yan army to come to besiege the city, so that the opposing commander is dissatisfied. ”

An Yuan looked at his father, and also nodded: "Father, I understand!" Tomorrow morning, after finalizing it with the officials of Anseong, I will do it immediately. ”

An Zhi walked up to his son An Yuan and patted his son on the shoulder: "That's very good!" So much better! ”

Rong Yi, the general sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, looked at the Goguryeo handsome flag on the table, and Liu Sheng took back the golden helmet of the other party's coach Zhu Zhe, and laughed.

The generals standing in the tent also looked happy. It's too much fun, isn't it? The other party is not a grade at all, is there? Well, what our little prince said is good, and it is really a "dimensionality reduction" blow. Although I don't know how my own casualties were, I certainly didn't know too much.

Rong Yan looked at the expressions of the generals, and his face turned pale: "Ladies and gentlemen, now is not the time for us to be happy, don't forget, now the armies of Donghu and Ji are still attacking my Liaodi!" ”

The generals were shocked, and their faces became serious. Yes! Now is not the time to be happy, we have to go to the rescue of Wangping and Fanhan as soon as possible! All the generals clasped their fists together and bowed down, and said in unison: "Please give the order of the general." ”

Seeing that the generals were like this, Rong Yi nodded and said, "Now, it is to capture these defeated Goguryeo troops as soon as possible." Then rest for a day and conquer Anseong as fast as possible. Then I will lead the army north to return to the aid of General Bo Wang. Ladies and gentlemen, don't slack off! ”

All the generals said in unison: "No."

What Rong Xuan and the generals didn't expect was that it took more than a whole day just to capture these defeated Goguryeo troops. By the afternoon of the 21st, it was basically over. I didn't expect the results to be so fruitful.

According to preliminary statistics, the other side suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and more than 90,000 prisoners were captured, not to mention the mountains of grain, grass, military supplies, and tens of thousands of war horses.

In this battle, more than 10,000 opponents were killed, while more than 700 were killed and less than 2,000 were disabled. Goguryeo can be said to have almost wiped out the elite divisions of the whole country in this war.

Knowing that time was pressing, Rong ordered a day off and attacked Anseong on the 23rd. Unexpectedly, on the evening of the 21st, I received a letter from Ancheng County to order Anyuan.

On the 22nd day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, Rong Yan, who was sitting in the Ya of Ancheng County, said to the officials of Ancheng standing under him: "You are now the officials of my Liaodi, and your positions will remain unchanged for the time being, and each will bear its own responsibilities. Later, the Prince's Mansion will send people to appoint you and propagate the policies of our Liaodi, and I hope that you will do your best to fulfill your responsibilities. ”

The officials of Ancheng said in unison: "No." ”

Immediately, Rong Yu said to the deputy general Wang of the court: "General Wang, you led an army of 30,000 troops to garrison Ancheng, and you are responsible for escorting the captured nearly 100,000 prisoners back to our Liaodi, and you are properly responsible for the aftermath of this battle." I couldn't delay, so I led an army of 70,000 to Wangping and fought a decisive battle with the Donghu army. ”

This in itself is the proper meaning, and the deputy general Wang was busy and did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "No."

In the tenth year of King Wucheng, on the 20th day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, Rong Yan led an army of 100,000 Liaodi, defeated the 120,000 Goguryeo army led by Zhu Zhe, and captured 100,000.

The new cavalry unit of Liaodi, which made its debut in a large-scale battle, shocked all sides. After this battle, the elite army of Goguryeo was almost completely wiped out.
