Chapter 256: Kaejo
The merciless collision of war made all the flesh and blood fly between heaven and earth, and the huge basin was full of corpses, both Korean and Song. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The power of artillery and its practical use in war were once again verified with endless blood and strangely shaped minced meat, and under the carpet artillery fire, almost all of the more than 300,000 troops of the Goryeo Kingdom were in flames in an instant, but they did not flinch this time, after all, Wang Xien, the legendary emperor of the Great Goryeo Empire, was behind them.
King to king, a phenomenon that rarely appears on the battlefield, but today it really appeared on the battlefield of Goryeo, and for the situation of Wang Xien's appearance on the battlefield, Zhao Xu was still very surprised and admired by this, of course, this also includes Zhao Xu's complete ignorance of Wang Xien's inner state. The mentality that the Goryeo Kingdom will win, and Zhao Xu will be captured by Goryeo.
"I really can't imagine that Wang Xi'en, the weak emperor of Goryeo, actually came to the battlefield in person, and for this alone, I admire him." On the hillside outside the basin, Zhao Xu put down the telescope in his hand, rode his horse and pointed to the Goryeo Emperor Wang Xi'en who was standing in the distance under the honor guard of the Son of Heaven of the Goryeo Kingdom
"Your Majesty, although the courage of this Wang Xi'en is indeed not small, but as the king of a country, he went to the front line of the war in person, and he actually made such a big show, but it is really a little unwise." Behind Zhao Xu, Wu Yong said to Zhao Xu
"Lord Wu is reasonable, Your Majesty, although the Huangluo umbrella cover of the lord of Goryeo is on the battlefield in person, which can give great morale to the soldiers of Goryeo, but this also clearly indicates the location of the lord of Goryeo for our country. A veteran of the Song Army named Wan Li next to Zhao Xu said to Zhao Xu with a fist
"He can't run anymore, because I've already seen him." Capture the thief and capture the king first, Zhao Xu smiled evilly. Zhao Xu went on the expedition, and the people around him who could prove his identity as the emperor of the Great Song Empire, in addition to the dragon robe, only the dragon flag of the Son of Heaven that was taken by Chu Luli as bait, and Wang Xien's pomp on the opposite side was really big, not only with the Huangluo umbrella cover, the head of the incense pavilion crane, but also the dragon robe he usually wore during the court meeting, which shows how strong Mr. Wang Xien's confidence is in this war
"Where is the flag-bearer?" Zhao Xu turned his head and shouted
"The little one is here, waiting for His Majesty's orders."
"Order Liu Qi to avoid the enemy's encirclement and blockade, and retreat in a roundabout way at any cost."
"Yes." Ordered the standard-bearer to take the order
"Wanli, where is Han Dashi."
"The end will be."
"Order the two of you to lead 10,000 cavalry from your headquarters to meet Chu Luli and Liu Qi, and give the Goryeo people the illusion that the person you go to meet must be the emperor of our Great Song Empire."
"The last will obey." After Wan Li and Han Dashi hugged their fists at Zhao Xu, they beat their horses and left
"Where is the Ghost Cavalry Command?"
"The ghost shadow cavalry is ten thousand households, Gao Haiping is at any time at the dispatch of my emperor."
"The ghost rides a horse fast, and one person has two horses, therefore, the task I gave you is a big detour, you 10,000 ghost cavalry soldiers from here to the southeast for a hundred miles, and then detour to the west, through the southern section of the Jiaoxi Grand Canyon to kill, I want to use the saber in your hand to give Wang Xien, a guy who does not know the height of the sky, a surprise gift."
"Your Majesty, rest assured, within two hours, our ghost cavalry will inevitably stab the war knife in their hands into the back of the King of Goryeo."
After Gao Haiping led the team to set off, Zhuge Qimen urged the horse to come to Zhao Xu's side, and the feather fan shook lightly and said to Zhao Xu: "The artillery increases the elevation angle to extend the shooting, which should achieve the corresponding result, I don't know why Your Majesty sent the ghost cavalry to carry out the attack operation." ”
"If the artillery is extended to Wang Xien's eyes, that kid won't run away long ago, if this thing falls on your head, you won't run." Zhao Xu said to Zhuge Qimen
"Directly order the artillery to move forward and blow Wang Xien to death, isn't that even more a hundred?"
"If the artillery is extended too quickly, it will create a false impression on our soldiers, and the battle formation will advance too quickly, which will cause unnecessary cracks in our army's battle formation, and once this crack is detected by the generals of the Goryeo Kingdom, it will cause large losses to our army."
"I see, it seems that there are really a lot of doorways in this step artillery coordination." Zhuge Qimen looked at the battlefield in front of him and sighed softly
"It's time for you to go to the military academy and go back to the furnace." Zhao Xu stared ahead and answered Zhuge Qimen's words, but what answered him was a pair of big white eyes
The battle lasted for a long time, until the twilight of the day, the war was completely over, the army of more than 300,000 people of the Goryeo Kingdom was almost wiped out under the stormy blow of the 140,000 troops of the Song army, and Wang Xi'en was also with his guards, was caught off guard by the ghost cavalry who suddenly detoured to kill, under the rapid and continuous bombardment of mortars, Wang Xi'en was directly blindfolded, like a headless fly in the chaotic artillery fire, In the end, our king, Sheen, along with his guards, fell under the saber of the ghost rider
The defeat was like a mountain, and almost all of the more than 700,000 troops in Goryeo fell under the iron hooves of the Song army after only a month, and the Goryeo Kingdom, after this battle, almost no formed army could confront the Song army, and most importantly, even their emperor Wang Xien, and almost all of their civil and military officials, all died in this battle, and the remaining officials and royal members of the Goryeo Kingdom may not be able to organize any forces to stop the footsteps of the Song army
"Shi Wengong."
"The end will be."
"Order the troops not to rest, the cavalry to take the lead, the whole army to advance, and occupy Kaesong at night, all the members of the Goryeo royal family and the nobles of Goryeo must not escape a single person." Zhao Xu, who was on the war horse, ordered Shi Wengong beside him
"The last will obey."
As the herald continued to shout loudly to convey Zhao Xu's order, all the soldiers of the Song army, except for the cleaning of the battlefield and the wounded soldiers, all quickly left the battlefield and took advantage of the night to roll towards the Kaesong of Goryeo, but the capital of Goryeo was still silent in this silent night, waiting for their emperor and army to return victorious, but to their disappointment, it was not their great emperor Xien and their army who returned, Rather, it was the cavalry of the Song Empire carrying a large number of cavalry cannons, and the Song army was constantly increasing their terrifying numbers
At this time, the general defending the city of Kaesong, the capital of Goryeo, was not thinking at this moment of fighting, but abandoning the city, and he was not stupid, because the moment he saw the Song army appear, he already knew that the armies of his country were finished, and even their emperor was finished (to be continued. )
