Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Defeated Army Mourns the Soldiers

For the current Liao State and Jin State, the so-called Bohai State is just a big piece of fat. Not to mention www.biquge.info golden soldiers who have won a hundred battles, among the remaining armies of the Liao State, you can find many elites who can lift the Bohai Navy to fight.

And the location of Liaoyang City is so important that it is impossible for either the Liao State or the Jin State to let it be occupied by other forces. The fate of Gao Yongchang, and his Balhae state, was sealed from the moment he decided to rebel - if it had not been for the existence of the Han Saint Emperor's army, which now occupied Korea.

At present, there are 36 military stations in the Han Kingdom, each of which sends 100 troops, plus the left and right military guards, a total of 5,000 elite people. In addition, there were nearly 10,000 people, as well as the same number of mules and horses.

Chen Cheng, who did not carry any blades and was not wearing armor, rode on a black war horse, his scarlet cloak hunting in the wind. In front of him was an army of five thousand, having completed the preliminary training. After being promoted to the samurai class, these people practiced martial arts full-time.

The whole of Korea received more than 400,000 households after the people were organized, and these people supported 40,000 soldiers and horses under Chen Cheng's command. That's an average of ten households supporting one soldier. Including food, weapons, clothing, livestock, etc. In this era when the productive forces are not developed, this is already a very heavy burden.

Although there are still many hidden households on the borders of North Korea, since those people are not on the Hu book, there is no way to transform them into productive forces. This is also the reason why Chen Cheng can only go out with 5,000 soldiers and horses, it is really that North Korea can't afford to support too many people, and supporting an army of 40,000 is already considered a poor army.

If you still have to support an army of tens of thousands of people to fight abroad, I am afraid that the population of the country will drop sharply, which is not what Chen Cheng wants to see. Besides, he alone can be worth 10,000 people, and in this army, he alone accounts for more than ninety percent of the combat effectiveness, and bringing soldiers and horses over is just to scare others.

But things changed too quickly, and the Han State gathered troops and horses, and when he was halfway there, Gao Yongchang was already defeated, and even Liaoyang City was lost. According to the defeated soldiers caught in front, they were not defeated by the Liao people, but by the Jin people from behind, and they lost the city so quickly without defense.

To the east of Liaoyang City, hundreds of Jin soldiers in heavy armor were chasing after Gao Yongchang and his party who fled in a hurry.

"Gao Yongchang, surrender!" A golden soldier shouted: "My Majesty said that as long as you can go to the emperor's title, he can make you a general!" ”

"Ahh Gao Yongchang, who was covered in blood, turned back on horseback, and then scolded: "You shameless people who don't talk about credibility, still want me Gao Yongchang to bow to you? Go for your spring and autumn dreams! ”

"Hmph, Gao Yongchang, you're going to be obsessed!" Jin Bing shouted: "You Bohai people are not the opponents of our Dajin Kingdom at all, surrender obediently, it is good for everyone!" ”

As he spoke, these golden soldiers stretched out their bows and arrows on their horses, shooting the Bohai people one by one. Although Gao Yongchang is strong in martial arts, his subordinates do not have such skills, and they reluctantly turn around and shoot a few arrows, but they don't know where they flew.

"Hahaha!" The pursuing Jin soldiers let out a burst of laughter, "With your archery skills, let's go home and eat milk!" ”

"Damn!" Gao Yongchang shouted angrily, in the previous battle, he was hit by a clan general of the Wanyan family with the "Heaven and Earth Overlord Fist", and his front chest and back were injured by freezing and flames respectively, and now his martial arts are less than one percent left. Or, with his fierce character, he would have turned back to fight the enemy to the death.

After escaping for hundreds of miles, those golden soldiers who were like ghosts in hanging boots were finally thrown out of sight, and Gao Yongchang jumped off the horse, his face full of uncontrollable frustration. The ups and downs of life were too fast, and he seized the God-given opportunity of the Khitan main elite being defeated, and resolutely launched a rebellion and captured Liaoyang City in one fell swoop.

Think about how high-spirited he was at that time. Seize Liaoyang and build a city, and proclaim himself the emperor of the Great Bohai Kingdom, this kind of glory, there are few people throughout the ages. But the good times didn't last long, and the Liao army attacked and wanted to recapture Liaoyang City. This is something he has been preparing for a long time, Liaoyang is the land of the Khitan people's dragon prosperity, how can he sit back and watch it fall into the hands of the Bohai people?

He expected the beginning, but not the end. The Liao people, who were beaten like dogs by the Jin soldiers, still had such a strong strength, and easily defeated his tens of thousands of troops. Then, that is, the Jin soldiers who came to help deal with the Liao army suddenly launched an attack, and when they were caught off guard, Liaoyang fell into the hands of the enemy.

"Could it really be that as Chen Cheng said, my strength is not worthy of my ambition?" Gao Yongchang laughed miserably, and for a while he only felt that the world was so big that there was nowhere to stay.

Just as he felt sorry for himself, the ground shook slightly. The Bohai soldiers lying on the ground jumped up suddenly, this kind of vibrating sound is clearly a large group of cavalry dispatched together, could it be that the Jin soldiers are catching up again?

Gao Yongchang grabbed his messy hair, then grabbed the divine knife and shouted: "If the Jurchens don't give us a way to live, then fight with them!" ”

The soldiers drew their blades together, and the hedgehogs formed into a ball. These soldiers who have been following Gao Yongchang until now, even when they were chased by the Jin soldiers and were almost exhausted, and they did not abandon their emperor's soldiers when they were cornered, they were all Gao Yongchang's diehards.

It is because he has a huge reputation among the Bohai people, and because as long as he Gao Yongchang does not die, those Bohai people will not be able to sincerely convince the Jurchens, so the Jin soldiers will chase after them and the remnants of the defeated soldiers. The same principle can be applied to the Tianzuo Emperor of the Liao State, as long as the emperor of the Liao State does not die for a day, Jin Bing cannot be regarded as the director of the north.

"Come on, come on," Gao Yongchang said in despair: "It's not bad to pull a cushion before you die!" ”

Mourning ..... But it's not a sure thing.

Now there are only three or four hundred people following Gao Yongchang, and the shaking of the ground is getting bigger and bigger, and thousands of horses' hooves trample the ground together, making the people and horses on the ground involuntarily stir.

It is not for nothing that there are armies that can face the charge of the cavalry and remain indifferent, but these Bohai navy, which has suffered several defeats in succession and is hungry and thirsty, is obviously not among those strong armies.

Gao Yongchang has a very intuitive understanding of those Jin soldiers, brave and good at fighting, not afraid of death, and tenacious, he is very suspicious, how could the Khitans suppress those Jurchens for so long before.

Forget it, anyway, their Bohai people can't beat the Khitans, nor can they beat the Jurchens, no matter which side they die in, it makes no difference.
