Chapter 110: The Ring of Danger Wins for Life

It was the middle of winter, the northeast wind was howling, and the Koreans were facing away from the wind.

The city wall is less than a foot long, and the head of the city is unguarded, but it can be climbed with an arm. The Koreans rushed up with a roar, and they fought as if they were not left behind, but when they climbed to the top of the city, they were faced with a long wall of steel.

This long wall is composed of the strongest hundred people in the escort team, they are heavy armor, holding the iron Mo sword, under the mask, the eyes are full of murderous energy, in the former, is Wang Qinian.

"I'm just an orphan in Jingdong, and I can have today, all because of the master." He silently thought in his heart: "Now that the master is a prince, I am very gracious, I should open up the territory for it, just Goryeo, what is there to fear!" ”

"Kill!" He shouted hoarsely.

However, less than half of the escorts came with him.

For the vast majority of the guards, it was the first time they had seen a real battle, and being shot in embarrassment at the head of the city had already shaken their morale, and they were already well-trained on weekdays if they were able not to escape. And when the Koreans really appeared in front of them, their last courage was gone.

They can't be blamed for this, most of them have never been in battle, and training on weekdays is completely different from actually killing people.

"Kill!" didn't know that there were half a person behind him who didn't come up, Wang Qinian raised his knife and stabbed it, he followed Yang Miaozhen to learn the gun stick, although he was not as skilled as Qin Dashi, but it was more than enough to kill a Goryeo soldier. The Goryeo soldier had just climbed to the top of the city and was about to rush down, when he was pierced in the chest by Mo's knife, screamed miserably, waved his hand indiscriminately, and fell down from the rapid loss of blood.

At the same time as Wang Qinian shouted killing, the ironclad guards who followed him made the same assassination action as him, although half of them cowered in the back, which made Wang Qinian's queue a little scattered. However, the disparity in equipment made up for the dispersion of the formation, and after the Koreans found themselves facing a tin man, their swords and guns did not know where to slash, and after the first round of assassinations, the ironclad guards habitually moved closer to each other, which was originally the choice to shorten the distance between each other when there was battle damage after a round of assassinations, but it was a good way to block the opportunity for the Goryeo to divide and surround the ironclad guards.

The Koreans had no choice but to find a way to surround them from both ends of the linear array, and take advantage of their numbers to find a way to bring down these tin men.

"That's not going to happen!" Wu Fang screamed, he used to fight, he was a veteran, although he was full of complaints, he was one of the few people who could see the situation clearly at this time. Because the enemy in front of him had been stabbed to death, he could turn his head and shout at the people who were still cowering and remaining under the city.

In this first round of assassinations, the Koreans were caught off guard, and most of the escort team failed to attack, so the two sides could only be considered a draw. However, more and more Koreans climbed the city, and there were already archers who came up and condescended to shoot arrows at the city, if all the archers of the Koreans went to the city, then Wang Qinian's initial battle would end in a fiasco.

"Fire!" Wang Qinian had nothing to do, he could only make a gesture to open fire.

Li Yilao, who had been staring at him, cursed, and the escort team was like this, which really made him feel shameless. He turned to look at his subordinates, and roared: "See, those gang of tin buckets turned out to be like this, and they lost all our begging faces, and now it's up to us to save face, prepare!" ”

He said this quickly and quickly, and the people in his artillery team did not hear anything clearly, but they heard the word "ready", and they had already better the artillery, and they were just waiting for orders.

Li Yilao looked at the Goryeo Chinese army that was rapidly approaching the city wall, measured the distance, and raised his hand high, but he didn't put it down.

Under the fort, Wang Qinian didn't hear the sound of the cannon for a long time, and he was so angry that he shouted, but the artillery team was also panicked like this ironclad guard. He was ashamed and angry, and he didn't care what the queue formation was, he picked up the Mo knife and rushed forward. He could ignore the queue, but his subordinates were based on him, and when they saw him rushing forward, they followed him, although they only had more than forty people, but when they moved, it was really like an iron wall of advance.

If the escort team can form a formal array, this hundred ironclad guards advance in a linear formation, they are almost invulnerable, and in a short distance, they can crush almost any opponent. At the beginning, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were dressed in Mingguang armor and held Mo knives in their hands, driving the Turks to the north of the Altai Mountains.

Wang Qinian's team counterattacked, but successfully blocked the breakthrough of the Koreans, but there were still a team of Koreans who broke into the city, and the first thing they did was to open the city gate, so that the main force that was rapidly approaching could enter the city smoothly.

At this moment, Li Yilao threw his hand down fiercely: "Ignition!" ”

When Li Yilao shouted to prepare, the artillery team members put on earmuffs, and they could not hear Li Yilao's voice, but just followed his actions and lit the fuse with a fire medium. A moment later, six cannons roared at the same time, and the earth-shattering sound shook the low walls of Shanglu City violently. A bunch of Koreans who had just landed on the city were so shocked that they let go and fell from the city, but fortunately the wall was not high, and they only sat on the ground when they fell.

Although the Koreans heard that Liuqiu had a sharp weapon, and the sound was like thunder, he would be killed immediately, but after all, he had never seen its prestige, and when he first encountered it, he was scared like a chicken, which was a reasonable thing.

"Cleanup!" Li Yilao ordered again, he didn't look at the results of the battle at all, and he didn't need to calibrate the artillery, and he knew in his heart where the cannons placed on the fort could hit.

The artillery team members quickly cleaned the barrels and cooled down the artillery, and about two minutes later, Li Yilao ordered again: "Ready!" ”

The first round of artillery had already calmed down the battlefield temporarily, or rather, unilaterally, the guards had long been accustomed to the sound of the cannons, and they did not feel shocked, and those Koreans couldn't help but tremble. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Fang shouted to the guards who were still watching behind him: "This can't be done, do you want to be marched to the law?" ”

Only then did those guards come to their senses, and when they thought of military law, everyone changed color, and begged the guards to say: "I'd rather see Yama Luo Li than see the little ghost Li." Yan Luo Li is Li Ye, although he is fierce and powerful, but it is easier to deal with than the "little ghost Li" Li Yunrui, Li Yunrui is in charge of military law, and he was called away, even if he does not die, he will take off a layer of skin.

"Kill!" They finally figured out what to do, and they rushed forward with their knives.

This round of artillery frightened not only the Koreans, but also the new immigrants from the mainland.

They were confined to the courtyard under the fort, and if the Koreans heard the sound of the cannon like thunder, then they felt that the thunder was exploding around them. Immediately some people began to cry bitterly, not only for children, but also for adults. Someone panicked, got up and ran, and said something in his mouth: "It's amazing!" The sky is falling, the earth is falling! ”

Because of the war, most of the people who stayed here to restrain them were righteous young men who accompanied the ship, and only a few begged for protection. There were more than 2,000 of them, and these dozens of people couldn't restrain them in any way, and there were people who took the lead in running around, and immediately someone followed, and in an instant, more than 2,000 people rushed out of the wooden village that surrounded them as if they had exploded.

If Zhao Heju knew that his henchmen would be the first to command the regular army to fight, and he would be like this, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

More than 2,000 people had already seen the chaotic battle at the head of the city, and when they got out of the fence, they were scurrying around like headless flies, but no one dared to run to the fort. Seeing this scene on the fort, Li Yilao almost crooked his nose, but he knew in his heart that if he could quickly reverse the tide of the battle at this time, these people could still restrain him, and if he couldn't resist, then everything would be over.

They didn't even have the opportunity to evacuate.

"Ignition!"

The second round of artillery rang out again, this time with six mortar shells, and the target was the Goryeo Chinese army that was approaching the wall of Shanggang. I don't know if it's the luck of the people who beg for help, or the misfortune of the Koreans, just that time, the Koreans were stunned, it was Cui Zhen's own family, and I didn't know whether to retreat or retreat for a while.

Each flowering bullet contained more than 100 iron beads, and when it exploded, within a radius of six meters, a piece of flesh and blood flew sideways. Cui Zhen's handsome flag was so conspicuous that it naturally became the focus of the artillery team's attention, and half of the six flowering shells hit him nearby, to say the least. His banner was not down, but it was torn to pieces by the flying iron beads, and his own house was like a sieve, and blood was pouring out from all over his body.

Behind him, the banner will fall faster than him.

"Marshal, marshal!" There were those who were lucky enough not to die, and when they saw him standing there dumbfounded, they fell down with their horses, and cried out in panic. This cry spread like a tide to all directions, and the Koreans were originally frightened by the two cannon shots, but when they heard this cry again, they looked back at the handsome banner, and sure enough, it had fallen.

The general is the courage of an army, and the handsome is the soul of an army, although the Koreans have a slight upper hand, but their own commander was killed by the flowering cannon, which immediately made the Koreans at a loss and didn't know what to do. Thousands of people rushed out of the wooden fence, and the Koreans panicked, and the only one who climbed up to the city was ambushed, turned around and jumped down from the city. They were originally good runners, and in a blink of an eye, the dense Goryeo people on the city were all gone, and they had to beg the escort to be stunned.

"Chase and kill, Donglu, you idiot!"

Li Yilao shouted, and regardless of whether Wang Qinian heard it or not, he ordered the artillery team again: "Prepare!" ”

The Koreans who entered the city were not as quick to react as they were on the walls, and when they realized that they had collapsed and fled, they cried out like crazy and squeezed desperately towards the gate that they had opened. Wang Qinian shouted categorically: "Chase, chase!" ”

There were more than 10,000 Goryeo soldiers, and so many people were running around in Tamluo, and the escort team could not draw out so many manpower to suppress them, so even if they started fighting, they had to be annihilated with one blow.

He shouted as he ran towards the eastern wall, where he still had a reserve force to use.

This reserve force was a cavalry of fifty men, they were dressed in light armor, and their weapons were not huge and heavy Mo knives, but narrow and curved scimitars. This knife is somewhat similar to the saber used by the Hu people, with the handle slightly curved towards the blade, which is convenient for chopping when riding on a horse. Wang Qinian jumped on a horse, and these people were already waiting a little impatiently: "Is it our turn?" ”

"Open the east gate, chase!" Wang Qinian roared.

His voice was a little hoarse because of his repeated loud shouts, but this voice lifted the spirit of the cavalry, and he was able to be selected into the cavalry team, all of whom were the most unruly in the escort team, and some even had Jurchen or Khitan blood, and they rushed out from the east gate with strange screams.

As soon as the city gate was opened, Wang Qinian was stunned, he originally wanted to pursue the Koreans who fled at the north gate, but he saw that there were some Koreans in the southeast corner. He is the kind of person who is more anxious and his brain turns faster, and he immediately realizes that the Korean soldiers are divided into two ways, one way to take the city, and the other way to attack the port!

"Kill!" At this time, he was not allowed to turn around and go back to the city to dispatch troops, so he roared angrily, and pointed at the southeast corner.

The sound of the hooves of fifty horsemen was like spring thunder, and they attacked this strange army of the Goryeo. The vice admiral of Goryeo finally made a detour and turned to the front of the port, but he did not see the rumored Liuqiu ship carrying a weapon, but he heard the sound of the cannon, and he was originally frightened, and then he heard the shouts of killing in the city, and the Goryeo language was less, all of which were Song people's words, although he could not understand it, but he also knew that it was not good. At this time, Wang Qinian led the cavalry to rush out, he was terrified, he couldn't tell how many cavalry came out of the city, he couldn't lead more than a thousand people, how to compete with the Liuqiu people, even the main force of more than 10,000 people was defeated, and his family didn't flee at this time!

When Wang Qinian charged at this group of Goryeo, he originally had a desperate mind, at least to disrupt the Goryeo formation and give the city a chance to prepare, but he did not expect that the Goryeo people would be defeated by the wind, he was overjoyed, raised his saber and shouted angrily, and those cavalrymen also raised their swords and shouted angrily like him.

Although the Koreans were preparing to flee, for the vast majority of foot soldiers, where could they escape the four-legged horses, these horses were the spoils of war captured when they captured Tamna Island, although they were not as good as the big horses brought by Meng Xisheng, and there was no problem in charging for a short distance. After only a few breaths, Wang Qinian caught up with the last Goryeo who had escaped, and the Goryeo didn't know what to say, and Wang Qinian, who was on the horse, didn't have the heart to listen. When the horse rushed past the Korean man, the saber did not wave, but aimed at the Korean man's neck, and with the momentum of the horse, the Korean man's head flew up, and the headless corpse ran forward, blood spurting from the neck cavity.

Wang Qinian gritted his teeth, thinking about Yang Miao's true confession, he didn't look at the corpse, but stared at the next target, his hand adjusted his posture slightly, and the saber was wiped into the neck of the Korean man like a broken bamboo, and the second head also flew up.

These more than 1,000 Koreans drove more than 50 cavalry like chickens and ducks, but they were lucky, Wang Qinian had few cavalry in his hands, so most of them became fish that slipped through the net. The invading Goryeo soldiers, together with the Tamna, finally had 14,500, and more than 1,000 were killed and more than 6,000 were taken prisoner. It turned out that Wang Qinian's plan was to suck the Koreans into the port of Shanghai at the same time, and the two warships equipped with artillery stationed in the port of Shanghai went to sea, sweeping away all the large and small ships of the Koreans, so that they would not return.

The tactics agreed upon by Wang Qinian and Li Yilao in this battle cannot be said to be wrong, but in the process of implementation, there are dangers, although the two of them won, they are not happy after the war. This is only a battle against the weak Goryeo, if it is against the Great Song, the Jin State and even the Hu people, I am afraid that the final winner will not be them.
