Chapter 115: Raid and Harassment Battle

With the seal and the letter of the Xiake of the Yu family, Zhang Tong finally believed that reinforcements were coming from outside the city. After Mr. Liu and Wang Wei transported a large amount of grain, grass, and ordnance to the city by water, the morale in the city suddenly rose. Even Zhang Tong had a little more confidence in defending the city.

In fact, Zhang Tong was not afraid of the tens of thousands of Goguryeo troops outside, what he was most worried about was that he would fight alone without foreign aid. Now that foreign aid is available, he will concentrate on the task of defending the city.

Just when the sailors and others were trying their best to aid the defenders in the Korean city, Wei Shuo and the others, who were far away in Liaodong, were not idle. The cavalry units that had been trained for a winter were all released by Wei Shuo, and the three thousand elite cavalry were divided into dozens of large and small units, and one person and two horsemen infiltrated the territory of Goguryeo to carry out raids and harassment battles.

In March, in Goguryeo, in the city of Marudu, King Mikawa, the king of Goguryeo, was listening to the ministers' reports on the military situation on the front line in the palace, and learned that the army was progressing smoothly and had occupied most of the two counties of Obifang and Lelang in the Western Jin Dynasty.

"Is there any movement in the Jin army in Liaodong?"

Gao Yifu, the king of Meichuan, was most worried about the reinforcements from the eastern Liaodong direction, and this time Goguryeo dispatched an army of 50,000 troops, which could be said to be determined to win the two counties of Jin and Lelang. Only by taking the two counties of Lelang and Obibang can Goguryeo rest assured that it will go south to unify the Korean Peninsula.

"King Qijuan, there is no sign of the westward advance of the Liaodong Jin army at present!" Minister Kurasuke bowed and replied.

"Huh? What's going on? Didn't the Liaodong Jin army react quite quickly in the past? Why is there no movement this time? "Gao Yifu, the king of Meichuan, was a little inexplicable, and he couldn't figure out the true intentions of the Liaodong Jin army.

But seeing that the eyes of the Minister of State Cang Zhuli flashed, he said: "King, in fact, this is not difficult to understand. The Jin Dynasty is no longer the huge Cao Wei Empire that broke through the capital of my pill decades ago, and although she inherited the legacy of the Cao Wei Empire, she failed to carry it forward! Chen heard that the Central Plains is experiencing a rare chaos in a century! Even the capital of the Jin Dynasty was breached by the Hu people, how could they still have the leisure to take care of the war that took place in remote Liaodong? ”

"Humph! What retribution! I can't take revenge with my own hands! ”

When King Meichuan heard that the Hu tribe had broken through the capital of the Jin Dynasty, he couldn't help but feel a burst of happiness after taking revenge. Just 68 years ago, in order to punish the Goguryeo people for invading Liaodong County, Cao Wei's army conquered their capital, Marudu, in one fell swoop. It was only in recent years that the Goguryeo people had recovered after countless efforts.

Although the capital of Maru was rebuilt, King Mikawa Takatofu, as an ambitious king, would not easily forget the humiliation he had suffered. The reason why he sent troops to capture the two counties of Obifang and Lelang was that in addition to opening up the passage through the Korean Peninsula, he may not have the intention of revenge.

"Great King, although the Liaodong Jin army has done nothing, we must not relax our vigilance, especially to prevent the Jin army from retaliating in the future." Minister Cang Zhuli reminded on the side.

This minister of the country is not an ordinary person, he is a well-known powerful minister and capable minister in Goguryeo. It was he who insisted on deposing the absurd former king of Goguryeo, and Goguryeo ushered in the wise and martial King of Mikawa, Ko Yifu. Under the governance of Gao Yifu and Cang Zhuli, Goguryeo gradually moved towards revival and rise, and the invasion of Obifang and Lelang counties was only the beginning of Goguryeo's external expansion.

"Well, the minister of state is reasonable, I don't know if there is a good plan to contribute?"

"King Qijuan, if we want to completely solve the hidden dangers after the invasion of Obifang and Lelang two counties once and for all, we must send troops to occupy Xi'an City. This city is located in the lower reaches of the Mazi River, is the throat of the eastern part of Liaodong County, occupy this place will be the main point of the future Jin army from the land attack on the side, Lelang two key points! It is enough to ensure that the rear two counties are worry-free! ”

Gao Yifu, the king of Mikawa, stood up and walked to the map and looked at it carefully for a while, and finally nodded lightly and said, "Well, the prime minister is so knowledgeable!" That's a great deal! The widows will raise an army and take the city! ”

Just when King Michuan was preparing to seize Xi'an, he didn't know that thousands of Jin cavalry had already sneaked into Goguryeo along Mazishui.

Although the Karasuma people could not defeat the fierce Xianbei people, it was not a problem to deal with the Goguryeo people. As soon as dozens of Hu and Han mixed cavalry troops entered Goguryeo, they began to burn and plunder, and as long as they encountered Goguryeo villages or herdsmen along the way, they would not hesitate to cover up the past, and immediately set off a bloody storm......

At first, the Jin people in those cavalry were not very suitable for this style of play, and it was always those Karasuma people who rushed to the front, and later after several actual combat experiences, the Jin cavalry also realized the importance of raiding and harassing warfare.

The cavalry attacked behind the enemy, not about the number of enemies killed, but the most important thing was to disturb the enemy's line of sight, so that the enemy could not understand the reality of our army. Just like the Jin army's operation in Goguryeo, the defenders in the western part of Goguryeo frequently received news of enemy invasions, but they could not accurately judge how many enemy troops there were and where the main force of the enemy army was.

Cavalry involved in raids generally avoided cities garrisoned by large armies, and had to stay at least thirty miles away from the enemy to avoid being surrounded by the enemy's main force.

Due to frequent border emergencies, King Mikawa ordered the western defenders to go out of the city to sweep away the invading enemy, and Goguryeo has not yet figured out whether the invaders are Jin or Xianbei.

According to the prior arrangement, dozens of cavalry were scattered, and unless Goguryeo had the help of the satellite positioning system of later generations, they could not accurately capture the cavalry of the Jin army. Unless you are lucky, you can occasionally run into a few cavalry rangers. But even if it touches it, it's not easy to catch, those rangers are all one person and two horses, running fast, very difficult to catch.

Whining! The desolate horn sounded, and the two hundred cavalry looked murderous like the Grim Reaper running out of hell......

The two hundred cavalry invariably took the same action as Nengchen, and at the same time slammed the stirrups hard, followed closely behind Nengchen, and killed towards the Goguryeo camp.

"Boom, boom, boom......" There are two cavalrymen, but there are more than 400 war horses. The whole phalanx of cavalry was as fast as a gust of wind, with bursts of thunder, and the mud and grass clippings carried by the horses' hooves, swept towards the unsheltered camp in front of them under the first morning light of dawn.

The Goguryeo soldiers, who had been busy all day yesterday, were still asleep, unaware of the impending nightmare......

The last to notice that the situation was bad were the Goguryeo soldiers on duty, and now Goguryeo is only a semi-nomadic, semi-agrarian country, and many of its troops are herders. They are naturally sensitive to the sound of horses' hooves, and can easily detect cavalry moving miles away.

So when everyone was ignorant, only a few Goguryeo soldiers who were herdsmen sensed that cavalry was approaching.

"Woooooo The Goguryeo soldiers, sensing the impending danger, sounded their horns desperately, hoping to wake up more people, otherwise once they were approached by the enemy cavalry, the entire camp would not want to live.

It's a pity that it was still a step too late after all, and as soon as the horn of the Goguryeo people sounded, Nengchen led the cavalry to kill in front of him. The 200 cavalry were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, killing the Goguryeo ghosts in the camp and howling wolves.

The surprise attack of the Jin cavalry met almost no resistance, and the 1,000 Goguryeo soldiers did not have time to organize any effective resistance before they were killed by the Neng ministers in the Chinese army's tent.

At this time, the Goguryeo people in the camp were in a mess, and they only wanted to run in all directions, forgetting that the two legs of a man could not outrun a horse with four legs anyway. The cavalrymen on horseback, according to the skills they had learned in training, raised their ring-headed swords, and when their hands rose and fell, a Goguryeo soldier was cut down to the ground.

After countless trainings, those cavalry slashing and slashing in actual combat were basically done in one go, never dragging mud and water, and in an instant, the sword light flickered, accompanied by the miserable howl of the Goguryeo people, rolling up bursts of stumps and broken arms......

With 200 cavalry, Nengchen quickly advanced inward from the edge of the camp, cut down the Goguryeo people who were blocking the way, knocked down their tents, and penetrated the Goguryeo camp in the blink of an eye like a bolt of lightning, and many Goguryeo people who were still asleep also lost their lives in a daze.
