Chapter 320: Annihilation (2-in-1)
"Marshal, I'm afraid the two wings won't be able to support it for long, once the two wings are completely defeated and thrown into chaos, our Chinese army will not be able to protect it!" A Goguryeo man opened his mouth to remind.
Ting You said: "Mobilize all the sword and shield soldiers to the two wings, block it for me, and you must block the Han cavalry." β
"No!"
The Goguryeo generals hurriedly transferred all the sword and shield soldiers to the two wings to block the continuous collision and trampling of the Han cavalry.
What is the advantage of cavalry, is speed.
As long as it is blocked and the speed of the Han Rider is unloaded, then the Han Rider is a lamb to the slaughter.
They Goguryeo still had a chance to win.
The temporary transfer of soldiers and horses of different genera in the vast army of 70,000 is an extremely disturbing matter.
Not to mention that Goguryeo's discipline is not high, and there is no coordinated force.
Even if Donglai is to do it, Xu Ding will do it, and the troops are also prone to confusion.
Don't look at the tacit understanding between Xu Ding and Xu Huang, Han Dang and others just now, and the various departments are flexible and flexible.
But there were only 5,000 of them, and they were all cavalry, so it was easier to move, so they could be free.
Besides, it's been in the army for so long, and the devil knows how many times they've practiced between them.
You must know that all the captains of Xu Ding have been in the army for some years.
The generals and soldiers are not familiar with each other, and I don't know how many times I have participated in the big war.
It's all veterans and veterans.
Therefore, Tingyou's order continued, and the entire 70,000 Goguryeo army was completely chaotic.
There is a bang, those who go to the wings, those who retreat from the wings, it is impossible to exchange substitutes smoothly at all.
What's more, now Xu Ding, Han Dang and others are still constantly impacting and trampling, like peeling an apple, taking away the lives of Goguryeo soldiers layer by layer.
"Here's your chance! Hasten! "Xu Ding found that the entire army of Goguryeo was in chaos, which was unexpected.
This meant that the cavalry had a real chance to fight, so he took out the unused crossbow arrows from his horse and struck them three times into the air.
Three arrows flew into the air.
These are signal arrows, with a long whistling sound.
"Not good! Fooled! β
Hearing the three arrows shot by Xu Ding, although Ting You didn't know what this military order of the Han army meant, he regretted it when he saw that all the soldiers on the side were in chaos.
He found out that he had been mobilized by the Han Chinese.
was mobilized by the Han people holding the nose of the cow.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Sure enough, at this moment, an iron horse behind them came to kill, roaring with dust and high, as if an earth dragon was pouring in.
This is Huang Zhong with a thousand soldiers of the Third Army.
The cavalry that entered Lelang was more than 6,000 in total.
Just now, Xu Ding only invested more than 5,000, and there are still 1,000 led by Huang Zhong who did not end up.
It's been hibernating!
Ting You did not know the exact number of Han horses.
A thousand people say more is not much, less is not less, Xu Ding has the intention to hide it, of course he can't see the clues.
This thousand horsemen are waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the Goguryeo army to collectively mess up, and then kill it.
If the Goguryeo army is not in chaos, Xu Ding does not find a chance, and when he retreats, they can provide cover and rescue.
Now the situation is moving well in terms of the promised appointment, so they attacked.
This thousand horsemen followed Huang Zhong and rushed directly to Tingyou's Chinese army, and the Goguryeo soldiers who were blocked by the Motu were all ruthlessly knocked into the air and trampled to death.
All the sword and shield men of the Chinese army were moved to the two wings, and at this time, Tingyou's Chinese army was undefended compared to the Han cavalry.
Huang Zhong held the sword in his hand, kept slashing, slashing one enemy after another in front of his sight, and the horses rushed straight towards Tingyou.
"Handsome! Evacuate! Unstoppable! β
The army was in chaos, and it couldn't stop the Han cavalry at all.
Today, their army of 100,000 was defeated against the Han people and 6,000 cavalry.
Defeat is assured.
There is no way to save.
Therefore, there were Goguryeo soldiers who asked Tingyou to withdraw quickly.
Ting You is the younger brother of the prince, and he is the expected future successor to the throne.
Therefore, before Yiyimo, the king of Guochuan, has no heirs, he can't make a single mistake.
"It's useless! There is no need to retreat, let's fight to the death with the Han army, as the commander of the Great Goguryeo, how can I escape from the battle! "Tingyou knows that once he retreats, once he withdraws, then he really loses.
At that time, he was faced with the constant pursuit and strangulation of the Han cavalry!
In the end, he could not estimate how many soldiers could escape.
Rather than this, it is better to fight to the death with the Han cavalry, the Han people have a saying, kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred.
Even if the whole army is annihilated, it will not make the Han army feel better, and they will have to jump off one of their tiger teeth.
"Dashuai!"
A group of Goguryeo generals still persuaded them to the death.
Tingyou wants to die, they don't want to!
As long as they escape back to Goguryeo, relying on Goguryeo's geographical advantages, they will have a chance in the future.
There is no need to fight a war of extinction with the Han here.
There are so many Han people, only 6,000, even if you are exhausted, they still have hundreds of 6,000 horsemen, and countless armies.
In this era, wars are fought for the population base.
There are too many people in the Han Dynasty, so much that the surrounding people are desperate and envious.
So it's really not a wise choice to fight consumption.
Of course, Ting You is not fearless in the face of death.
When Huang Zhong continued to break in, rushing straight to this side to kill, without entering the realm of no one, the Chinese army began to flee, becoming more and more violent like an avalanche.
Tingyou still felt fear and fear.
"Poof!"
Tingyou's guards fell one by one, but still no one could stop Huang Zhong, and they were getting closer.
The speed of the cavalry was so fast that it was killed in an instant.
Ting You wanted to muster up the courage to swing his sword to fight Huang Zhong, but when Huang Zhong really arrived, he urged his horse to dodge, and the generals even left the banner to avoid Huang Zhong's edge.
Compared with Tingyou, Huang Zhong cares more about the military flag of the Goguryeo Chinese Army, and he is more concerned about the handsome banner of Tingyou.
In the vast crowd of people, even if he killed the commander of Goguryeo and killed countless generals of Goguryeo, it was not as good as a banner to knock down the opponent's momentum and the last bit of resistance.
With a "click", the banner of the Chinese army in Goguryeo was cut off by Huang Zhong with a knife, and then leaned to the side and smashed down heavily.
"The commander of Goguryeo will die, kill!"
"The commander of Goguryeo will die, kill!"
A thousand soldiers shouted in unison, shouting and killing like a dynasty, and the chaotic battlefield was particularly abrupt.
Whether it was the Goguryeo people or Xu Ding and others, they all looked towards the position of the Chinese army.
Sure enough, what was supposed to be the position of the Goguryeo commander Tingyou was broken by Huang Zhong's cavalry.
The battle flag representing the commander is gone.
The flag is the direction, the will, and the faith.
The flag is in the people, and the flag is dead.
Most of the Goguryeo people didn't know that Tingyu wasn't dead.
But if the banner falls, it proves that Tingyou is dead.
If you don't die, how can the banner be gone.
The bosses are all dead, is there still a need to fight this battle?
Who can lead us to continue fighting, who can lead and command us to stop the Han iron cavalry.
Huang Zhong cut off the banner of the Chinese army in Goguryeo, and did not pursue Tingyou, but continued to go deeper, penetrating the Chinese army, and stirring up the chaotic Goguryeo army even more chaotic, creating a more favorable battlefield environment for Xu Ding, Han Dang and others.
Under the North Korean city!
Count the horses and run to!
"Pass on my lord's order, the Goguryeo army is in chaos, please ask the soldiers of Joseon City to attack!"
This is someone from the Xu Ding Department.
Then another general from Daifang City said: "I will bring 3,000 soldiers and horses from Fangcheng, please General Luo to kill the enemy together and destroy the enemy chieftain together!" β
The defenders of the city recognized the generals who brought Fang Cheng and set their sights on Luo Xi, the supreme commander of the Korean city.
The elected General Luo was between thirty-five or sixteen years old, he glanced at the battlefield, drew his sword and said: "The time has come for the brothers to take revenge, go out of the city, and leave all the Goguryeo barbarians!" β
The generals descended from the city one after another, and gathered a total of 8,000 soldiers and horses from various departments.
When the city gate was opened, part of it rushed to the battlefield of war, and part of it attacked the camp of Goguryeo!
"Withdraw!"
The entire battlefield was shattered, and all the troops were scattered and disorganized, facing the continuous back and forth collision and trampling of the Han cavalry, at this time, without Tingyou's order, all the Goguryeo soldiers began to flee in all directions.
Ting Youxi also didn't have the courage to fight to the death before, and fled east with his people.
After running for more than ten miles in one breath, Ting You and the remnants of the army were celebrated, because the Han army only had so many horses, although they defeated his army of 100,000, but they fled all over the mountains, how much could the Han cavalry catch up.
Just when they were rejoicing, suddenly a Han army was killed on the road ahead!
"Where can the barbarians escape!"
Donglai Army Banner, Li Zijiang Banner, and countless Han troops rushed out, killing countless casualties among the remnants of Tingyou.
Ting You and the others were so frightened that they hurriedly turned north and fled.
After escaping for a long time, at dusk, there was a sudden Han army in front, which was still the battle flag of Donglai, and there was also the flag of the general.
"Where can the barbarians escape!"
Tingyou and a group of Goguryeo soldiers who had been running for a day had already lost their armor and were exhausted at this time, and they were still the opponents of Dian Wei and others who had been waiting for a long time.
With a little resistance, he was quickly slaughtered.
Ting You himself was also split by the two halberds of Dian Wei.
In this way, Dian Wei was in the north and Li Qian was in the east.
From time to time, Goguryeo's routs rushed towards them, intercepting them for a whole day, and the two of them were killed by an unknown number of people.
It wasn't until the Han cavalry of Xu Ding and others roamed back and forth in various places to kill the Goguryeo army that could not escape and joined the two that the siege was over.
The various departments kept returning, killing too many enemies, and everyone couldn't count them one by one.
However, it can be estimated that the total number of 12 Goguryeo troops besieging Joseon City was killed in 110,000, and no more than 5,000 escaped.
Because many surrendered, but most of those who surrendered were also killed by the Han army, and only 5,000 prisoners were left alive.
These captives were used to clean up the battlefield, bury corpses for hard work, and then all of them would be sent to the mines to dig and become permanent miners.
It was a big victory, and it deserved to be cheered by the whole city and celebrated by the whole county.
However, Xu Ding declined the gratitude and banquet of the soldiers and civilians of Joseon City.
"Everyone, my Donglai soldiers will not enter the city for the time being, there are still 200,000 Goguryeo troops in Huanghae County, and Huanghae County still needs support, and when the Goguryeo army is eliminated and Yuan Yin and the Goguryeo king are captured, it will not be too late for us to celebrate at that time." Xu Ding couldn't delay any longer, and immediately took the army to the south.
The soldiers and civilians of Joseon City and Daifang City shouted one after another: "Junhou, you helped us Lelang County, we are willing to help Junhou fight Yuan Yin, please take us south together." β
"If you really want to go, you must know that this is a matter between me and the Yuan family, and once you intervene, it means that you have broken with the Yuan family." Xu Ding asked.
"Junhou, from the beginning when we blocked the entry of the Yuan family's protΓ©gΓ©s, and from the time the Goguryeo army attacked Lelang County, we and the Yuan family thought that we had a deep enmity in the sea of blood!" Luo Zhan of Joseon City said sonorously:
"The prince is benevolent and righteous, we all know that my Lelang County is willing to merge into Weiyuan Island and Donglai, and I am willing to go out to fight for the thieves for the prince."
"We are willing to go out to fight for the prince!" The generals of Joseon City and Obifang City visited the shrine together.
Xu Ding looked at everyone, bowed slightly, and said: "Yes, I promise to sincerely welcome you to go south with me to crusade against the barbarians and Yuan Yin, as for the future of Lelang County, where to go, I want to wait until this battle is over, it is not too late to discuss." β
Xu Ding didn't want to be the kind of person who was kind and self-respecting.
The will of Obifang City and North Korea City does not represent the entire Lelang County, even if there is a mutual insurance agreement between their cities, they help each other, and they seem to be one, but the husband and wife are still divided into male and female, and the father and son are still settling accounts.
So now with Lelang County, Xu Ding feels that it is not the best opportunity, after the fight to eliminate Goguryeo and Yuan Yin, the real general trend is formed, and naturally no one in the entire Lelang County will have objections at that time.
So this time, as long as their soldiers and horses are with them.
The two cities gathered 10,000, and the more than 10,000 troops of Xu Ding, totaling 20,000, marched south.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Two days before yesterday!
Hwanghae-gun, Seoul!
Since Shi A and Xu Ying's night detectives tracked down Yuan Chun and found that Goguryeo's more than 100,000 troops were lurking under the city.
Yuan Chun and Goguryeo King Yi Yimo both understood that their whereabouts were exposed.
So there was nothing to hide, anyway, the shadows in the city were also exposed, and they didn't play a big role, so after dawn the next day, Seoul was immediately besieged.
Of course, they did not immediately attack the city.
Different from the cooperation of the other three kingdoms, in cooperation with Goguryeo, Yuan Yin sent craftsmen to create various siege equipment for the Goguryeo siege army.
The two can be said to be deeply collaborative.
Although Yuan Yin has the intention of preventing technology leakage, in Yi Yimo's eyes, this is just a piece of paper that can be torn at any time.
The craftsman entered his army, and he didn't let people go, can these people still walk?
Not to mention the craftsman, even Yuan Chun, who sent someone to coordinate the relationship and ensure contact, did not want to slip away without the permission of his Yiyimo.
So this is a disguised technical output.
With these craftsmen, Goguryeo can not only create siege equipment in the future, but also create other ordnance, so that Goguryeo's entire armor and equipment will be raised to a higher level.
This is also one reason why he is willing to bring 150,000 people to fight Seoul.
Risks and opportunities coexist, and if you want to get these technical information from Yuan Yin, you must pay the price.
What the hell does the Yuan family want to fight, Yi Yimo is not calling, because he has an army of 200,000 on his side, and Lelang County also has 200,000.
Yuan Yin wanted to make a ghost, and he didn't mind the north and south attacking him first.
Of course, it is a honeymoon period between the two now, and there is no conflict of interest at all, only a common enemy.
"King, there is not a single city in the south to bring troops to support Seoul, and all the cities, counties, and towns have shrunk and defended." The Goguryeo sent spies back to the south to pray.
Yi Yimo asked Yuan Chun puzzled: "Why is this happening, why didn't other cities send troops to save Fucheng and save their Taishou!" β
It turned out that Yi Yimo and others wanted to build armaments on the one hand, and then ambush and annihilate the Han army that came to the aid of the southern cities, so as to eliminate the living forces of each city, and when they captured the south in the future, they could have a lot less trouble and resistance.
Yuan Chun shook his head and said: "I don't know, it stands to reason that they shouldn't be so indifferent, Cheng Yu's prestige in Huanghai County is extremely high, and he is very loved and supported by the officials and people of various cities and counties, it is unlikely that they will sit idly by, maybe they haven't set off yet, or they want to gather together to set off north." β
