Chapter 4 The Kumajin Governor's Mansion won a great victory in the anti-encirclement war

readx;

As soon as they set foot on the Korean Peninsula, they fought a great victory of winning more with less, killing more than 10,000 enemies, and only more than 200 casualties on their own side, but Xu Qing, Yang Ziyan, Zhao Mengchen, Zhao Tuozhi, Liu Sisi, Yang Yi and others were not happy, because the veterans of the Daetang Trading Company did not come to greet them, and the Silla Army and the Baekje rebels formed a coalition to land here, indicating that the veterans of the Daetang Trading Company stationed in Xiongjin City were either wiped out by the Silla Army and the Baekje rebels, or were besieged, and the situation was very serious.

The number of warriors stationed in Pyongyang and the old Sui army was only 2,700, which later increased to more than 3,000, and although there were two battalions of female soldiers armed with pistols, the effective range of the pistols was less than 50 meters, far less than the effective killing distance of 100 to 200 meters compared with the ordinary bows and arrows used by the infantry in the Tang Dynasty, and also 50 to 100 meters more effective than the ordinary bows and arrows used by the cavalry in the Tang Dynasty -- the effective killing distance of the bow and arrow was not only related to the bow itself, but also related to the strength and skill level of the people who used the bow and arrow. The pistol can only be used in close-range combat, and does not suffer any damage in long-range offensive and defensive battles.

Because he was worried about the new weapons and pistols and the secrets of the old Sui army, Choi Jinhae, as the supreme commander of Xu Qing's private army stationed in Korea, did not transfer the veterans of the Datang Trading Company stationed in Xiongjin City to reinforce the troops stationed in Pyongyang, but only asked Yang Ziyan for help when the conflicts between the Silla Army and the Xujia garrison in Pyongyang became more frequent and more powerful, and Yang Ziyan sent an additional 3,000 Longmen Dart Division to Pyongyang, and after two months of fighting with the original Goguryeo rebels and the Silla army, the attrition was serious. A total of 6,000 Dart Divisions stationed in Pyongyang combined with the old Sui Army, and when Xu Qing's large-scale reinforcements arrived, they only took more than 3,000.

Xu Qing was very worried about the army stationed in Pyongyang, and couldn't wait to send scouts to Pyongyang to reconnoitre, so he ordered Xue Renxian, the left vanguard, to lead 2,000 cavalry troops of the Left Forward Army, Yang Yi to lead 1,000 cavalry troops of the New Army, and Yu Shiwen, the general of the Fan Yang Army, to lead 5,000 horse infantry troops (mainly infantry, equipped with a small number of cavalry, cavalry as charge, attack, surprise attack, chasing the enemy, giving orders, reconnaissance, breaking through for help, etc., although the cavalry is small in number in the horse infantry army, it is the core of the horse infantry army, in accordance with the Tang Dynasty god of war Li Jing compiled the Tang Army horse infantry combat guidelinesWhen chasing the enemy, the cavalry is in front, the infantry is behind, the cavalry is not chasing the enemy, the infantry is not allowed to pursue the enemy, and the commander must analyze the specific situation when attacking, and the defensive operation is the infantry in the front, the cavalry is in the rear, and the infantry must protect the cavalry and minimize the casualties of the cavalry. The first update of the early Tang Dynasty army did not have simple infantry units, all infantry units were equipped with a certain number of cavalry) followed closely behind, and rushed to the aid of the Pyongyang garrison.

Xu Qing ordered Tian Wenyao, the right vanguard officer, to lead 2,000 cavalry of the right vanguard army, and Nie Hu to lead 1,000 cavalry of the new army, and rushed to Xiongjin City for reinforcements. Xu Qing led an army of 9,000 and rushed to Xiongjin City after the vanguard team. He removed the weapons and armor of 20,000 prisoners of war, and ordered 3,000 troops to escort them into Kumajin Castle. After the ships of the Fan Yang Naval Division unloaded their personnel, horses, weapons, grain and grass, they immediately returned to ship and transport the follow-up troops.

One hundred and fifty or sixty miles northeast along the land along the Kumjin River to Kumjin Castle, the cavalry vanguard of Tian Wenyao and Nie Hu arrived at Kumjin Castle that night and launched a night lightning raid on the 100,000 Silla troops surrounding the former Baekje Governor's Palace, which had been rebuilt from the former Baekje 200 years ago, and attacked from the enemy's rear.

Xu Qingxin's pistol exerted great power, killing the enemy was as easy as harvesting, Tian Wenyao's elite cavalry guards of Fan Yang's army were not to be outdone, and fought bravely to kill the enemy with anti-arrow clothing and body protection, and their confidence was greatly increased, and they won a lot.

The 20,000 veterans of the Datang Trading Company stationed in Xiongjin City were commanded by Luo Huiliang, Luo Huiliang saw that the enemy camp was in flames, illuminating the night sky as bright as day, and the enemy army was in chaos, scattering and fleeing, Luo Huiliang knew that the reinforcements would arrive in a few days, so he immediately made a decision, ordered to lower the drawbridge, organized 13,000 people to rush into the enemy camp, and joined the reinforcements inside and outside, and scattered and fled the siege army of Silla. Be the first to update

Kim Yingjie, the commander of the Silla Army, who had landed at the mouth of the Xiongjin River against the Tang Army, was killed by a jackdaw arrow fired by a chariot crossbow, and the morale of the army was greatly disturbed, and the soldiers scattered and fled. Most of the militia forces in Baekje who rebelled against the Tang Dynasty came from peasants who did not have much land, lacked food, had difficulties in life, and were instigated by nationalist radicals to oppose the Tang Dynasty, and they had never seen the bloodshed and cruelty of war, and when they saw the scene of rivers of blood and corpses lying everywhere, they were frightened and fled in all directions -- this is how the anti-Tang radicals in Baekje deceived the poor peasants into becoming soldiers, "We live in such poverty, we can't even eat enough, we can't wear warm clothes, it's all because the Tang Dynasty invaded us and fought with us for decades." More and faster chapters are here.

The poor peasants in the former Baekje area could not get food and clothing because of the backward system, they were still in a semi-slave and semi-feudal society, and before the fall of the country, the king, the city lord, the lord and the tribal chiefs jointly managed the country, and the food and wealth fell into the hands of the greedy kings, city lords, lords and tribal chiefs, even if the original Baekje did not have a war with the Tang Dynasty, the poor peasants of the original Baekje still did not have enough to eat and wear. More and faster chapters are here.

On the contrary, when the Tang Dynasty had just destroyed Baekje more than ten years ago, during the period when the Tang Dynasty general Liu Renliang was the governor of Xiongjin, and after the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, he established the highest military and government agency to govern the former Goguryeo and the former Baekje region.

Affected by this, the regular army of Silla also scattered and fled with the death of the main commander and low morale. The army was defeated, and the 100,000 regular army of Silla and the 100,000 civilian armed forces of Baekje who rebelled against the Tang Dynasty were vulnerable in front of the more than 20,000 troops of the Xujia army.

This cannot but be said to be Xu Jiajun's luck. If it weren't for these two factors together, no matter how powerful the crossbow was, it would only be mounted on the battleship, Xu Qing's crossbow for siege and defense of the city was only prepared with 30 crossbows, although the anti-archery clothing was powerful, it was only equipped with 4,000 forward troops and 4,000 pro-guards, and the 23,000 former army and 15,000 were not equipped with anti-arrow clothing, and the casualties should be more than 200, at least ten times larger.

The next day, Xu Qing's main force marched halfway, received good news from the front, the Silla 100,000 besieging army was defeated and fled, and the vanguard of Xu Qing's former army launched a successful surprise attack, and the 20,000 Tang veterans who were holding the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion flanked the enemy, repelled the 100,000 besieging enemy troops, beheaded more than 30,000 enemies, and captured 7,000.

On the third day, Xu Qing's main force of 9,000 troops marched to Xiongjin City on foot, settled in the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion, and the 3,000 troops who escorted the prisoners of war arrived at Xiongjin City on the fifth day.

Xu Qing drove away the former city lord of Xiongjin City and temporarily transformed the city lord's mansion into a prisoner of war concentration camp, where nearly 30,000 prisoners of war were held.

Xu Qing expressed his appreciation for the veterans of the Datang Trading Company with Luo Huiliang as the commander for sticking to the lonely city and not surrendering to the enemy forces more than five times and at most ten times more, and commended Tian Wenyao and Nie Hu for their proper command and victory in the anti-encirclement battle in Xiongjin City.

In fact, first set fire to the enemy's barracks and grain and grass depots everywhere, so that the enemy did not know how many enemies were attacking him, causing the enemy to panic and trample on each other because of fleeing, and then give full play to the melee advantage of the pistol to annihilate the half-asleep and half-awake enemy who was not in the state It was Xu Qing's idea, but Xu Qing did not take the credit to himself, but praised his subordinates first, and then rewarded him for his merits. The light of the fire can be used as a light to avoid accidentally injuring one's own people in the melee.

The old Sui army had long known Xu Qing's power, and worshiped Xu Qing as the god of war, Fan Yangjun saw Xu Qing's power twice, and was deeply impressed by Xu Qing, and Xu Qing's character as a general also made them heartbroken, which was very beneficial to Xu Qing's unfamiliar Fan Yangjun command.
