Li Yan likes to fight to defend the city, especially when his own side is weak.

But not this time, this time Li Yan must fight a field battle with the Goryeo army, and the victory will be decided in one battle.

Why?

Only because, only in the field battle, Li Yan had the opportunity to destroy more than 20,000 Goryeo troops in one fell swoop, and then marched to Kaijing and took Kaijing in one fell swoop.

In the current situation, it is really ...... to fight a field battle with the Goryeo army How to put it, it's actually no different from looking for death.

Over there in Goryeo:

The Dragon Tiger Army, the Divine Tiger Guard, and the Jin Wuwei are all elites.

There are only three troops, 10,000 elite horse troops, and 6,000 elite infantry troops.

plus the 3,000 horse army and 12,000 infantry troops of the Wangjun.

The total strength of the Goryeo side: 14,000 horse troops and 18,000 infantry troops.

Liang Shanjun's side:

The First Army of Ma, the Second Army of Ma, and the Guard Battalion had a total of about 5,000 Ma troops - after several major battles, the Ma Army also had some losses, so it was already less than 550,000 horses, not even 5,000.

The infantry army, if you use Li Yan's standards, the Liangshan infantry army only has 2,500 people of Lu Zhishen's second infantry army.

The Fifth and Sixth Infantry Armies, which had not undergone training and were mainly composed of Goryeo slaves and maids, were actually a group of rabble, civilians wearing armor and helmets and weapons, and they were still very cowardly civilians.

Well, even if Li Yan didn't care that the Fifth Infantry Army and the Sixth Infantry Army were a rabble, and added them, then the Liangshan Army would only have 12,500 infantry troops.

Let's compare.

The Ma army on the Goryeo side was three times larger than on his side.

There were five or six thousand more infantry troops on the Goryeo side than on his side.

OK!

Li Yan also had a thousand artillery troops and 500 unconscionable cannons, and another 20,000 thunderbolts.

Therefore, this battle still has to be fought.

The question is, how to fight?

What Li Yan didn't know was that Kim An, the commander of the army in Goryeo, was also having a headache.

What do you say?

As the most important port of Goryeo, as the place of Yongxing of the royal family of Goryeo, Yeseong Fortress is built to be large and strong, not to mention its city walls as high as three zhang, and the moat with a width of 30 zhang alone is prohibitive.

That's it, the key is that among the more than 30,000 soldiers and horses he brought this time, only 18,000 were infantry troops, and 12,000 of them were state and county troops who lacked training.

In this case, how can he capture this fortified city?

After setting up camp and setting up the village, Jin An looked at Lichengcheng at a loss!

Recently, a new staff member who joined the Jin'an Sect is a descendant of the Gong descendant of Goguryeo, whose real name is Gong Fu, and he claims that his name is Sun Fu.

Seeing that Jin An was worried, he replied: "The class master is worried about how to capture this Licheng City?" ”

Jin An asked, "Do you have a way?" ”

Gong replied: "It may be difficult to win by storming, so it is better to lure them out of the city to fight." ”

Jin An asked, "Do you have a way to lure them out to fight?" ”

Gong Fu didn't answer and asked: "I don't know if the class master knows the history of the Three Kingdoms period of the Han people?" ”

Jin An said: "I know a little about fur. ”

Gong replied: "Then the class master must know Zhuge Liang?" ”

Jin An thought for a while and said, "Is it the prime minister of Shu Han?" ”

Gong replied: "Not bad...... When Zhuge Liang led the Shu army on the Fifth Northern Expedition, Sima Yi, the front-line commander of Cao Wei, knew that it was not easy to transport grain and grass on the roads in central Shu, so he took the action of holding on without fighting. Zhuge Liang asked the soldiers to call for battle and insult in front of Sima Yi's camp, trying to force Sima Yi to fight a decisive battle with him, but no matter how Zhuge Liang provoked, Sima Yi just ignored Zhuge Liang, and Sima Yi waited for Zhuge Liang's troops to scold and eat the little military food and then go back to Shuzhong. Zhuge Liang also knew that such a stalemate would be detrimental to Shu Han, so when the battle had no effect, Zhuge Liang had an idea, and sent someone to send Sima Yi a woman's clothes, which means Sima Yi, you are only worthy of being a girl, not a commander. ”

After hearing this, Jin An's eyes lit up, and he said, "You mean, let's also send someone to send a woman's clothes to the commander of that gang of thieves and force him to come out for a decisive battle?" ”

"Ignorance!"

Just then, a dusty civil servant came in through the door.

It turned out that those civil ministers were still not worried about the military ministers to lead the army, and in the end, under the accumulation of a group of civil ministers, Wang Yu sent Han Anren, the minister of Pingzhang, to replace Jin An as the marshal of the Pingkou army.

Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a major victory for the royalists, because they finally have a chance to touch the military power, if Han Anren can lead the army to exterminate this group of thieves who have captured Licheng Port, then the strength of the royalist faction will definitely increase, and at that time, they may be able to compete with the Hao faction.

This is also thanks to Li Ziqian for falling when he went out this morning and didn't come to the court, if it weren't for this, Han Anren would not have had the opportunity to be the marshal of the Pingkou Army at all.

Moreover, the most intolerable thing for the ministers is the rise of the military ministers, shaking the superior position of their civil ministers, and the civil dignity and military humility must not be changed, so this time, the civil ministers of other factions have helped the royalists.

This was the great victory that allowed the royalists to achieve this great victory.

As soon as he saw Han Anren coming, Jin An, who had a deep understanding of the current situation of Goryeo Wenzun and Wubei, immediately guessed that Han Anren was here to replace him as a marshal.

Jin An couldn't help but be a little angry: "Could it be that Wuchen will always be suppressed by Wenchen?" ”

Han Anren didn't care what Jin An thought, he sat directly on the main seat, and then replied to the bow: "You only know that Zhuge Liang gave women clothes to Sima Yi, but you know that it was Sima Yi who won the victory in the end, and Zhuge Liang was dragged to death by Sima Yi in Wuzhang Plain." ”

Not to be outdone, Gong Fu said: "Lord Han is not Zhuge Liang who has accumulated hard work, and the thieves in Licheng City are not Tsukasa Wu Sima Yi, and this place is not Wuzhangyuan, which is thousands of miles away from Shu and difficult to transport grain and grass, but Licheng Port, which is only thirty miles away from Beijing, why can't this method be tried, or does Lord Han have a better way to lure the enemy into battle?" ”

"This ......"

Looking up at the three-zhang high city wall and the thirty-zhang wide moat of Licheng City, Han Anren didn't have anything to do for a while.

Seeing that Han Anren could only pick thorns, Jin Anxin was disdainful, but he said: "Lord Han, if we don't try it, even if it doesn't work, it's just a loss of a woman's clothes." ”

Hearing Jin An say this, Han Anren could only say: "If you are willing to try, give it a try, but I can tell you right now that your method cannot succeed." ”

Han Anren's words were so full that he was slapped loudly by Jin An and Gong Fu - not long after Han Anren said this, Gong Fu, who sent the women's clothes to Li Yan, came back to report: "The thief saw the women's clothes sent by the class master, and was furious, saying that it was a great shame, not only tore the women's clothes, but also kicked the table in front of him, and threatened to fight with us on the plains in front of him in three days. ”
