Chapter 206: Ambush Everywhere
After everyone left, Tao Kan was so angry! Except for Yao Gezhong and Li Xiong, the level of others is obviously limited, although they are not incompetent, but they can't be in charge at all. By now, the spies sent by the army have inquired about the situation in Baekje, and it is obvious that Baekje has known about the arrival of the Great Jin army, and they have already taken precautions, and they are pouring troops from all over the country to prepare to resist the Great Jin!
The Baekje army must have 1780,000 people, and although the Great Jin army is strong, no matter how well-equipped, once it encounters the siege of the army, the number of casualties will definitely be very large! If you can't attack it for a long time, the consequences will be unimaginable!
The Mahan people are really anxious this time! Let the Jin army stay on Jeju Island, I'm afraid that Ma Han will die in the country! As time passed, Mahan's casualties increased, and they were always looking forward to reinforcements from the Great Jin.
On 16 March, the navy led by Lin Feng finally arrived at the Belt Side. The army was merged in one place, and Tao Kan found a problem in the next few days, the grain and grass consumed by the tens of thousands of troops completely relied on sea transportation, which was a bit unable to keep up with the needs of the army. This is not possible, if there is any problem, there is a shortage of food, then the army will be finished!
So he hurriedly found Lin Feng to discuss the matter, and finally the two of them came up with an idea. Lin Feng said: "Aren't we going to save food? There are mountains in a radius of hundreds of miles! There are all beasts! Let's let the soldiers go up to the mountains and fight wild beasts to satisfy their hunger!" It not only solves the lack of food but also enhances the physical fitness of the soldiers! The best of both worlds! ”
Tao Kan followed his train of thought and said: "At the same time, your navy can't be idle and have nothing to do, all of them go to sea to fish. Do-it-yourself! Tao Kan has always stood still because he knows that when fighting in a foreign country, military operations must be cautious.
At this time, the Baekje Kingdom had already known that the Great Jin reinforcements were coming, and the king of Baekje hated the Great Jin people after hearing about it. Seeing that Baekje is about to destroy the southwestern part of the Mahan unified peninsula, how can he not make Baekje annoyed at this juncture.
In the Baekje Palace, the King of Baekje was discussing countermeasures with his ministers, and the King of Baekje looked at the civil and military officials with a faint smile on his face and said, "Everyone, now that the Great Jin has sent troops, how should we deal with it?" ”
Baekje said with a sad face, "Great King." The 30,000 troops of the Great Jin Dynasty are less than 500 miles away from us. The minister thinks that it is safer for us to quickly transfer the southern troops back to defend the capital. Besides, our envoy went out to contact Gao Gooli to jointly fight against the army of the Great Jin, but there has been no news! ”
The smile on King Baekje's face when he heard such news suddenly disappeared! All the generals in the second seat know that the army of the Great Jin is not Ma Han's army and is vulnerable!
Park In-seok, the general of Baekje, said disapprerovantly: "Prime minister, you are all too worried, and it seems that the Great Jin army is not vulnerable at all. ”
"Oh? What is General Park's plan? The king of Baekje was overjoyed when he heard this.
"King, what can the 30,000 laborers of the Great Jin Dynasty do? Besides, you don't know the situation inside the Great Jin, they have several big enemies in the north and south. Therefore, the other side will never dare to transfer the main forces in the country. As long as we are strong and clear. Wait for work at ease, and strive to consume the other party under the city. ”
"You have also seen that their food and grass depend mainly on the sea, and they will not have abundance. The minister heard that their army had started hunting, and the navy had started fishing to save food. You can see that they are more than 500 miles away from us, but they do not have any plans to march, which shows that they are waiting and watching and do not dare to attack rashly. ”
"Great King, as long as we destroy Ma Han's army, then the Great Jin army will be defeated without a battle because of the lack of food and grass. Although we did not fight with the army of the Great Jin, we had 100,000 troops who fought bravely and well-equipped, so why should the Jin army be afraid? ”
The king of Baekje laughed when he heard this, and even a few officials shouted without knowing whether they were alive or dead: "I think they are scared!" ”
Although the minister of Baekje did not resent Park In-seok's contemptuous words, he did not want to contradict the king of Baekje and his ministers. He himself had to sulk on the side and look at the clown-like King Baekje. The Prime Minister of Baekje thought to himself, you are not afraid, I am afraid! Da Jin is a tiger, and this time their expedition across the sea is definitely not simply to rescue Ma Han, there must be other ulterior purposes. At this time, Park In-seok asked the king of Baekje for orders, saying that he would send troops to attack the Jin army.
Baekje almost fainted after hearing this, but fortunately he didn't have a heart attack. Isn't this a play for life? If the tiger doesn't eat people, you have to fight it to stimulate his fighting spirit! This is the mantis arm as a car is beyond its strength, and the moth fights the fire and kills itself! In the end, the persuasion of the Prime Minister of Baekje was useless.
If the prime minister wants to defeat the Jin army, he must rely on Gao Goli to send troops to attack the Jin army, otherwise he may not be able to pour the troops of the whole country. The prime minister didn't know that Goguryeo was in a difficult position to protect itself at this time, and their territory was shrinking under the blow of Murong Diao, so how could Goguryeo send troops to help Baekje at this time.
Besides, Baekje is not a good thing, just snatched Obibang-gun from Goguryeo, and Dajin and Baekje fought, what a great opportunity! Whoever defeated whom, Goguryeo was the winner. What's more, the king of Goguryeo knew that even if he sent troops, he might not necessarily defeat the Jin army, the Great Jin was stronger than Goguryeo in terms of territory and military strength, and they were not the opponents of the Great Jin at all, so let's wait and see!
On that day, Park In-seok led 2,000 people to hunt and quietly left the city and entered the northern mountains and forests. The Baekje people were very familiar with the local terrain, and in the evening the Baekje army ambushed a group of Jin troops who were hunting in the mountains and forests, and although they lost more than 500 men, they also wiped out more than 100 Jin troops.
More than a hundred soldiers suddenly disappeared! Coupled with the deliberate propaganda of the Baekje people, the people in the military camp were suddenly panicked, some said that there were monsters in the mountains, some said that there were wild people, and there were all kinds of things. Some of the generals are a little convinced! Anyone can believe it, but Tao Kan can't believe it at all, let alone say that there is nothing, even if there is you, you can't believe it, because you are the commander.
If Tao Kan believed it, he wouldn't have to fight! Go back and tell the emperor that there are monsters in the mountains, so it's no wonder if you don't kill your head. After many verifications, it was determined that it was the Baekje people who did it, and he never expected that Baekje would suddenly attack his army.
In this case, Tao Kan was ready to make a plan, and he hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat sixty miles. After the military order was issued, the army deliberately made the appearance of discouragement. Some of his men lost their weapons, and the army retreated in confusion. When the news reached Baekje City, the King of Baekje was overjoyed!
The Great Jin army is vulnerable! The sight of more than 2,000 people frightened the Jin army. Baekje can't sit still, it seems that the combat effectiveness of the Baekje army is not weaker than that of the Jin army! It seems that the strength of the Great Jin army was overestimated in the past, and now it looks like that's just the case.
Many Baekje generals saw that Park In-seok had made great achievements, and they asked the king of Baekje to fight to defeat the Jin army together. Park In-seok also felt that without further ado, Baekje should give the other side a blow to the head while the Jin army retreated. The king of Baekje agreed to the generals' requests, and ordered Park In-seok to lead 60,000 cavalry to set off at night!
When Tao Kan withdrew his troops, he expected that the Baekje Society would send troops to pursue, so he specially left an ambush to prepare to take the other side by surprise, and the 3,000 Xiang army set up an ambush on the other side of the Imjin River, and at the same time left 3,000 on both sides of the Imjin River. Yao Gezhong 6,000 was responsible for the frontal attack. Lin Feng's navy provided fire support on the river.
Retreating is Tao Kan's strategy, and when the army retreats, he throws down his weapons to show weakness to others. How could the Baekje army know that they were mentally retarded compared to Tao Kan. The military leaders of Baekje also knew the art of war, but the victors generally did not speak the art of war. Simply put, I was carried away by victory. The book of war is read. What you get is that the results are not the same.
It's like studying in the same class. The same teacher, why some students can understand profoundly, and some students know the skin. That's the difference between people, some are talented. Some are individual efforts. The generals of Baekje did what they said in the war book, and the war book was only a foundation, and as for fighting a war, it depended on the wisdom of the generals and the flexible use of it on the battlefield.
Tao Kan has been showing weakness since he set out on the expedition, lacking food and grass, the soldiers went to the mountains to hunt, the navy fished, and I withdrew if you beat me. All kinds of indications show that Tao Kan has a bigger plan, Tao Kan has experienced a hundred battles, has accumulated a lot of valuable experience in many years of fighting, commanded the army with deep calculations, and advanced and retreated freely. How could the Baekje generals comprehend Tao Kan's battle intentions.
After the victory in the first battle, the morale of the Baekje army was high and unstoppable. In the morning, the Baekje army reached the Imjin River after a night of rapid marching. Park In-seok saw that a lot of weapons and clothes had been thrown on the other side of the river, and the bridge on the river had not yet had time to be demolished. He was very happy to see this scene, and immediately ordered the 20,000 cavalry of his headquarters to cross the river to pursue the Jin army, and the other generals were also afraid that they would not be able to get the first credit, so they hurriedly caught up.
Seeing that the enemy had already crossed the river, Tao Kan immediately ordered the ambush soldiers to blow up the river bridge. As soon as the Baekje generals crossed the bridge, they heard a loud noise, and they turned around and were stunned: the river bridge has been blown up!
Park In-seok thought that his own people blew up the river bridge, so he frowned and asked the generals: "We don't need to fight against the water!" How did you blow up the bridge? ”
The other generals also wondered! At this moment, I only heard the Jin army killing everywhere. That's when they knew they were surrounded! Lin Feng ordered the naval guns to fire together, and the longbowmen on the opposite bank shot at the enemy with bows and arrows. Urging the attack, the Baekje army was immediately chaotic, with countless casualties.
Park In-seok was shocked and ordered the army to break through, and he shouted: "Give me a bloody way to fight and rush to the mountain." ”
Where are you going? There is the navy of the Great Jin Dynasty in the river, the longbowmen on the opposite bank, and the cavalry of the Great Jin on both sides. It seems that the Baekje army is difficult to fly! But Park In-seok didn't think so, he had taught the Jin army, and he felt that there was nothing to be afraid of being surrounded, and he thought that the purpose of the Baekje army was not to fight the Jin army? In this way, everyone can chase after it, and how good it would be to destroy the Great Jin army on the spot!
He led 20,000 cavalry to kill the Great Jin army head-on, Yao Gezhong looked at it, what? Look for death! He immediately ordered the musketeers to prepare for the attack. Seeing the Baekje army approaching, Yao Gezhong shouted, "Brothers, shoot me." "Bullets rained down on the Baekje cavalry, and when more than 20,000 people arrived at the front of the position, there were less than 10,000.
Yao Gezhong feels that the time is ripe, let you taste the power of our Great Jin Mo Knife. Immediately, he led a thousand Mo sword teams and 3,000 cavalry to kill the Baekje people, and he shouted in his mouth: "Brothers, avenge the dead brothers!" ”
After a few rounds of fighting, Park In-seok was frightened, he himself was killed and dismounted, and even his pants fell off, which was a miserable one! After fighting for more than an hour, he joined the army and said to Tao Kan: "General Qiyu, the enemy is still fighting with us, the navy has stopped firing artillery for fear of hurting its own people, and the enemy troops who jumped into the river have been annihilated by the navy." ”
Tao Kan became angry when he heard it, how can the enemy army still have combat effectiveness after being surrounded for more than an hour, this can only be said that the generals of our Great Jin army are incompetent. The army joined the army and persuaded on the side: "General, there are as many as 60,000 enemy troops!" There are 20,000 cavalry alone, and we have less than 10,000 cavalry! ”
Tao Kan was silent for a moment and told the army to prepare to send troops out in person. Joining the army hurriedly said: "General, you are the commander of the army and can't go, in case there is a mistake, we will regret it too late!" (To be continued......)
