Chapter 190: Torture and Killing
The general Lu Chang met with Queen Seondeok, and the three sisters asked the general Lu Chang to kill the martial king Fuyu Zhang to avenge his father, and were willing to serve the general for the rest of their lives. This was originally the result that Lu Chang wanted to see, can you not agree? A martial king who should have died Fu Yuzhang, in exchange for three flowers for him to pick, Lu Chang's heart blossomed.
On the deck, the official personally carried Fuyuzhang to the bow of the ship and restrained Fuyuzhang's dumb hole.
The three sisters of Shande came to the scene in person, the soldier held a waist knife, the knife flashed, the head of the martial king Fu Yuzhang was separated, and the body was thrown into the sea.
The three sisters hugged each other, rejoicing that they had taken revenge.
Subsequently, the general Lu Chang ordered the ship to sail, and the fleet set off back to Jiangnan.
When the general left, Zhang Yu had already led the army north. The Jiangnan Army headquarters has 50,000 men, and the auxiliary army has 150,000.
And that's not even counting Silla's auxiliaries, who also need to undergo some simple training before joining the auxiliaries. Therefore, the size of the auxiliary army will continue to increase, and once the training of the auxiliary army that has just been absorbed is completed, it can be incorporated into it, and this will be a huge number of military forces.
At the time of the war with Silla, the Jiangnan army only arranged for a part of the army to monitor the Goguryeo army, and there was no friction between the two sides. And Goguryeo also knew that Baekje and Silla were about to go to war, and they did not want to ruin the war between the two countries.
Well, it is better to fight hard, and when these two countries are defeated, that is, when Goguryeo sends troops, take advantage of their weakness to destroy these two countries.
Goguryeo's plan was good, and he wanted to profit from it.
It's a pity that Goguryeo still didn't know that Silla had perished, and Jang Yu solved the Silla state, leaving part of the army to deal with the aftermath, and the army waved north.
On the one hand, Zhang Yu sent troops equivalent to Goguryeo to confront him, biting the other party to prevent the Goguryeo army from escaping, and sent tens of thousands of troops to quickly detour, intending to surround the 20,000 troops of Goguryeo.
Goguryeo did not know about the other party's conspiracy, and thought that the Baekje army was afraid of Goguryeo's invasion and sent troops to guard against it. How did they know that an army of more than 100,000 was being encircled and soon besieged?
In Goguryeo's eyes, Baekje was a small country, and Goguryeo would not be afraid of them at all. If it weren't for the Great Sui Dynasty's Yang Guangsan's expedition to Goguryeo, which caused the decline of Goguryeo's national strength, he would have marched south to destroy the two small countries in the south.
At present, Goguryeo needs to live and recuperate, and it will definitely not be able to use troops on a large scale this year.
Because of the decline of national strength, today, there are only less than 100,000 troops left in Goguryeo, and they cannot afford to raise more.
20,000 troops were deployed in Goguryeo in the south, 20,000 troops were retained in the capital, and the rest of the troops were deployed in the land of Liaodong.
When he heard that Baekje was at war with Silla, Goguryeo was secretly happy.
Goguryeo's national power was not bad, and if Baekje and Silla were at war and both were defeated, it would be easy to clean them up even if Goguryeo was not as good as before. At the very least, it will expand some of the land area, depending on how far the war between Baekje and Silla will go.
Goguryeo is waiting for the right time, and it is estimated that it will be able to reap the benefits by next year.
Unfortunately, it backfired, they did not know that Baekje and Silla had perished, and they did not know that the army of Jang Yu was galloping in the direction of Goguryeo.
Why don't you know?
All because the time was too short, and the Jiangnan Army moved too fast.
At this time, Goguryeo was in the most declining period of national strength, and in the face of the surprise attack of 100,000 troops, this was really a very tragic thing for Goguryeo.
The two armies on the front line were only facing each other, and there was no conflict for the time being, which was normal in the eyes of Goguryeo.
Under normal circumstances, if Goguryeo did not take the initiative to attack, Baekje rarely launched first, after all, Baekje was the weakest side of the three kingdoms.
It's a pity that they thought wrong again, the people on the other side are still Baekje people, but the belonging is completely different.
Everything was ready, and the time had come to destroy the 20,000 troops that Goguryeo had placed on the border.
In the morning, the Baekje side suddenly opened its gates, and the army rushed out and set up a formation.
This is the posture of starting a war......
The Goguryeo army obviously did not expect the other side to challenge first, and since it wanted to start a war, Goguryeo would not be ambiguous, although the movement was slower, but it still opened the camp and opened the battle with the opponent in vain.
There were 20,000 troops on each side in formation, and the battlefield was full of murderous atmosphere.
The drums of war were beaten, and the two armies began to face each other.
The Goguryeo army sent three 3,000-strong troops to attack, while the opposing side was an army of 15,000 troops.
The armies of the two sides were rapidly approaching, and the huge flow of people made the battlefield dusty, and coupled with the thundering of war drums, the battlefield was desolate.
The strangulation on the front was about to begin, and at this time, smoke and dust also appeared in the direction of the sides, and it was clear that another army was pouring here.
The Goguryeo army obviously knew that these troops who came were definitely not on their side, but must be enemy troops.
The shape was not good, and it seemed that it was going to be attacked on three sides, and Goguryeo immediately divided the 10,000 troops in his hand into two, with 5,000 men facing the enemy to the east and 5,000 to the west.
The two armies on the front were now only a dozen paces away from the battle, and at this moment, a rain of arrows rained down on the Goguryeo army, which immediately made the Goguryeo army turn on their backs.
This rain of arrows was shot from behind the opposing army, and these 5,000 people were not auxiliary troops but Jiangnan troops.
The Jiangnan army will not engage the battle head-on, but let the auxiliary army take the lead, to be precise, they are the army that oppresses the formation.
The Jiangnan army fired three rounds in a row, causing the Goguryeo army to suffer heavy casualties and chaos in formation, and at this time, the auxiliary army had arrived in front of them.
"Armed ......"
At the sound of an order, the auxiliary army moved neatly, and suddenly raised a long bamboo pole. Nima, again a bamboo pole.
"Hey, one, two, three, kill!"
The auxiliary army shouted trumpets in unison, and the bamboo poles in their hands stabbed at the Goguryeo army in a overwhelming manner. Nima, there is no way to prevent this kind of assassination. The bamboo poles were too long, and the Goguryeo people also had weapons in their hands, but they couldn't reach the enemy on the opposite side, so they could only be beaten passively.
There are also a few Goguryeo people who cut off bamboo poles with knives in their hands, and they can even kill each other. So what, immediately after that, he was stabbed to death by someone else with a bamboo pole.
"Armed ......"
"Hey, one, two, three, kill!"
The first row of people has just completed the assassination, the second order has been issued, the second row of auxiliaries quickly lifted the bamboo pole, the same shouted the number and quickly dragged the bamboo pole forward, the bamboo pole stretched out about two meters long, the first step took the bamboo pole and stretched forward again more than one meter, and then, the second step took out, and when the third part, the bamboo pole was already in place, and it was quickly stabbed out.
"Armed ......"
"Hey, one, two, three, kill!"
Because the bamboo pole is a long weapon and is relatively bulky, most of the Jiangnan Army adopts the training of assassination in turns.
There were several phalanxes of auxiliary troops, and as the order was given, rows and rows of auxiliary troops took turns to assassinate them.
The phalanx of the auxiliary army was in a neat formation, and as soon as the order was issued, it moved quickly, surging wave after wave like a row. Even if someone is killed by a cold arrow, their position will be quickly replenished by the people in the back row to ensure that the overall formation of the army is not chaotic.
The frontal fighting side is in full swing, and the battle situation on both sides has changed, which is really because of the huge disparity in strength between the two sides.
Zhang Yu arranged 20,000 troops on the front, and there were also 20,000 troops on the east and west sides, and Goguryeo only sent 5,000 troops to resist, how could it resist?
No, the armies on both sides had just engaged, and they were first shot by a rain of arrows, and then assassinated in turns like a wave of spears, how could they be undefeated.
After the Goguryeo army on both sides collapsed, it broke and fled in the direction of the main front, which directly affected the morale of the army that was still resisting.
The ghosts of the two wings of the rout army cried wolf, and the chaotic rout made the casualties that had already been killed by the auxiliary army heavy, how could the Chinese army, which was only one step away from the rout, hold on?
The auxiliary army killed again, and finally the Goguryeo army could not resist, and the formation began to be chaotic.
The troops in the front row flinched and began to flee backwards, crowded together with the army behind them, and now no one cared about resisting anymore, and they all protected themselves.
The auxiliary army doesn't care about this, the order arrives, advance step by step, kill, where is this battle between the two armies, it is simply a one-sided massacre!
With a "boom", Goguryeo's army finally collapsed on all fronts, and everyone scrambled to flee.
However, after not long of running, dumbfounded, an army appeared behind the Goguryeo army at some point, and about 20,000 troops were waiting neatly behind them.
Not counting the Jiangnan army, just the auxiliary army, Zhang Yu arranged for 80,000 troops to encircle and annihilate the 20,000 troops of Goguryeo.
The 80,000-strong army began to squeeze into the center, and a slaughter began
The Jiangnan army did not want to be taken prisoner, and the remnants of the 80,000-strong army surrounding Goguryeo were only tortured and killed, and the four directions were pressed inward. Goguryeo's army was getting smaller and smaller, and its resistance was getting weaker and weaker, and there was a wail on the battlefield.
It seems a bit cruel, but there is no way, the war can only go on like this.
The other party is a regular army of Goguryeo, not ordinary people, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be accidents after being captured, so why bother with those troubles?
This is a war between nations, and there is no such thing as mercy.
Besides, did all those Han people who died in Goguryeo die in vain?
This can be regarded as a blood debt and blood payment.
Goguryeo is 2,000 miles from north to south and 1,000 miles from east to west, with more than 170 cities and more than 3 million people. The fortified castles that are difficult to attack are all in Liaodong, and they are all built to defend against Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui.
And the climate of the peninsula and Liaodong is cold, and as long as the Jiangnan Army can solve Goguryeo on this side of the peninsula this year, it will be good. The most important thing is that there is no fortress on this side of the peninsula, which is relatively easy to solve compared to Liaodong. Therefore, it is necessary to launch a blitzkrieg, march quickly with lightning speed, and ensure that the peninsula is resolved before the weather gets cold, and merciless slaughter is inevitable.
