Chapter 464: Defeat the Korean soldiers again
The cavalry that rushed out of the West Valley Pass rode on Korean horses, and the armor they wore was Korean-made armor. The weapons in my hands are also made in Korea.
The cavalry rushed into the South Korean army, and the Koreans were also slashed with their weapons.
At this time, when the South Korean army was turning its head, the scene was very chaotic. And at this time, the cavalry in the lacquer garden rushed out.
To know! Outside the West Valley Pass of the Lacquer Garden, there is a wide and flat area, which is the most suitable place for cavalry combat.
These cavalrymen know how to play tactics very well! They don't engage people head-on, they specialize in rampage through the crowd, as if they were out of order. For a while, the South Korean army could not judge for sure, where this group of cavalry was rushing, and it was impossible to form an encirclement at all.
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry of more than 100 people rushed the 30,000 soldiers and horses of South Korea into a mess.
Behind the cavalry, several thousand more infantry followed.
These infantrymen are also wearing armor made in South Korea. The weapons in his hand are also Korean-made weapons. It's just that most of the bows and arrows on their backs are made by the Qiyuan people themselves.
When they reached the South Korean ranks, all of them stopped. Build a defensive wall with a shield first, and then! The archers stepped forward and fired 10,000 arrows at the Korean army. Shoot wherever there are many people. They don't need to aim at all, they just shoot at a crowded place.
After a rain of arrows, I don't know how many of the 30,000 people in South Korea fell. Those who fell were trampled by their own men and horses, and were killed and injured in no one fell swoop.
The cavalry of more than 100 people, after disrupting the Korean army, killed them from both wings and drove back.
Seeing that the cavalry had returned, the rain of arrows on the infantry's side stopped.
The cavalry did not stay when they returned, but! They rushed over from the two flanks and drove the South Korean army to concentrate on walking. And then! The infantry quickly stepped forward again, reached the front of the South Korean army, and then used shields to form a shield wall, and it was another rain of arrows.
"Withdraw! Remove! Remove! ”
When the Korean commander saw the tactics of the Qiyuan people, he was dumbfounded. Constant shouting for the team to retreat. If you don't leave, you will be wiped out.
Seeing that the Han army was defeated without resistance, the Qiyuan people did not chase closely. But! The momentum still has to be done, and everyone is desperately shouting "Kill!" in the back. ”
For those who were injured, the Qiyuan people naturally would not capture them and kill them directly. What are they doing captive? If you can't eat food, you can't turn it into stool and fertilizer, right?
In front of the Taoists, when the opponent is defined as an enemy, there are no prisoners. For the enemy, either you die or I live! Otherwise! You can't characterize yourself as an enemy!
Behind the fighting procession came thousands of old men, women, and half-earth children, who had come to clean up the battlefield. The South Korean army was defeated and their own men and horses chased after them, so they followed behind to clean up the battlefield.
After most of the day's pursuit, before dark, the Qiyuan people withdrew their troops. Before dawn, everyone returned to the territory of the lacquer garden.
Another great victory was fought, killing more than 10,000 South Korean troops. The people of Qiyuan have the strength to carry all the corpses of more than 10,000 people back to Qiyuan, hoping to bear good melons and fruits next year.
This battle, mainly the people of Higashitaniguchi.
When the people of Higashiguchi saw that the people of Nishiguchi had made a fortune by fighting, their hands were also itching. Just right! Some spies had already inquired clearly, saying that the South Korean army was heading towards the mouth of the West Valley of the Lacquer Garden, and they had already made preparations. Whether the South Korean army attacked the lacquer garden or retreated, they discussed the countermeasures.
Outcome! The South Korean army chose to retreat.
The spoils were divided, and the people of Higashiyaguchi first gave a part of the spoils to the people of Nishitaniguchi. Because! They borrowed horses, armor, shields, and other weapons from the people of Nishiguchi. And then! Then he divided the rest of the spoils among himself.
Outcome! They have gained more than the people of Nishitaniguchi. Because! The crops of the people of Higashiguchi were not damaged and did not need to be compensated.
But! The people of Nishiguchi lent their horses, weapons, etc., to the people of Higashiguchi, and the compensation they received added up to the difference between the two sides!
And also! Quite a few people also participated in this battle, and cleared the battlefield.
In a word! The loot everyone got was pretty much the same.
The South Korean army was defeated, and it lost more than 30,000 people just here in Qiyuan. In addition to the attack on other cities of the Song Kingdom, a total of more than 35,000 people were lost.
For the Warring States Period, the death of thousands of people in a battle was a great event. To know! The population growth rate at that time was quite low. Medical care can't keep up, life can't go on, plus accidents, wars, etc., people who can survive are really rare.
Isn't there an exclamation article in Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", saying: Three out of ten disciples?
Korea lost more than 30,000 people at once, and there was no need for the Korean king to give an order to withdraw its troops, and the commander did not dare to fight again. Retaining troops is a small matter, retaining people/species is true!
South Korea is such a small country, how many 35,000 can there be?
"What? South Korea lost again? ”
After receiving the report, Pang Juan, the general of Wei, sat paralyzed in the tent in the army, and did not respond for half a day.
"The general is really a genius!"
A lieutenant general who is good at observing words and feelings, stepped forward to curry favor.
"Hmm!" Pang Juan let out a long hum.
I thought, "What do you know?" I'm not saying that South Korea lost and so many people died. But! This Zhuangzi! What the hell is he?
Pang Juan regretted it very much, he didn't kill Zhuangzi at the beginning, and let this kid return to the Song Kingdom.
Pang Juan, who was naturally jealous of other people's talents, thought that with Zhuangzi, his life would have no future.
It's like when Sun Bin was there, with Sun Bin there, his Pang Juan's life would be overshadowed.
Zhuangzi has only managed the lacquer garden for more than a month, and it is so powerful! A small lacquer garden, there is not even a guard army, just by virtue of "all the people are soldiers", you can kill 30,000 South Korean troops! If Zhuangzi was in charge of the Song Kingdom, would it still be necessary? In less than three or five years, the Song State will become a powerful country in the Central Plains!
"Withdraw your troops!"
Pang Juan waved his hand and ordered.
"Withdrawing troops?" The adjutant asked.
Pang Juan's eyes widened, and he shouted: "If we don't withdraw our troops, we will go to Qiyuan to die, right?" ”
"Yes!"
"What?"
"Withdraw your troops!" The lieutenant quickly changed his tune.
After the Korean army withdrew to its own country, the Song side immediately began to recover the four small cities that had been lost to Korea. Seeing that the general situation had turned, the Korean defenders had no choice but to evacuate the occupied city and roll back to Korea.
"Hahaha!"
After getting the good news, Song Juecheng, the king of the Song Kingdom, couldn't help laughing!
This battle was won! It's so beautiful! It's so effortless.
To be honest, he is really worried day and night about whether he can end this war as soon as possible.
And also! The strength of the officers and soldiers of the Song State has not yet been put into the frontal battlefield, and the war is over!
This, this, this! It's incredible!
How is it possible to wipe out more than 30,000 troops in South Korea by relying solely on the power of the people?
