Chapter 131: The Escape of the Northern Expedition (Collection Plus 1)
On April 11 of the third year of Jianning, the Iron Cavalry left the capital of Goguryeo and headed north.
The lord of Goguryeo, who received the news, immediately convened civil and military officials to discuss the matter.
"Ladies and gentlemen, just now the spies came to report that the cavalry of the Han people has gone north, and there are only 50,000 Han troops outside the city at this time, can we take the initiative to attack?"
A military general came out and said, "King, now our army in the city is only 60,000 troops, including 30,000 recruits. ”
"Humph!" The prime minister of Goguryeo snorted coldly and said, "Could it be that the general is afraid?" If so, why don't I open the city and descend early? ”
"You ......," the military general pointed angrily at the prime minister when he heard this.
However, just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the king of Goguryeo, who shouted angrily, "Okay! At this time, the Han army was still outside the city, and you were arguing here about what kind of system, and if you had this quarrel time, it was better to discuss a strategy to retreat from the enemy. ”
"The minister is guilty" The prime minister and the military general leaned over together to admit their mistakes.
At this time, a slightly fat military general came out and said, "King, there is a proposal at the end, I don't know if I should talk about it?" ”
The lord of Goguryeo waved his hand and said, "Why not?" As long as it is beneficial to my Goguryeo, but it doesn't hurt to say it! ”
"King, since we are waiting to send a large army to fight a decisive battle with it, it may hurt the foundation of our Goguryeo, and if we don't go to war, we will miss the opportunity, why don't we send troops to attack at night tonight. Even if it can't completely collapse the Han army, it can defeat the Han army for a while and restore morale. ”
Hearing the general's words, a burst of discussion suddenly resounded in the hall.
The lord of Goguryeo also considered the feasibility of this plan, and after a while the whole hall fell silent, and everyone agreed to this plan.
Immediately, the army in Goguryeo City began to prepare, and when they heard that they were going to start a counterattack, the Goguryeo soldiers were all overjoyed and excited.
At this time, Dong Chongzheng said to Xu Rong, "Zici, can the army be ambushed?" ”
"Back to the general, the army has already completed the ambush, just waiting for the Goguryeo army to come."
Then Dong Zhuo hesitated for a moment and said to Jia Xu, "Wenhe, why do you dare to assert that the Goguryeo army will attack today?" ”
"General, in the past few days, the Goguryeo army has been beaten by our army in the turtle and retreated into the city, coupled with such a sharp weapon as a trebuchet, which has made the morale of the Goguryeo army low, and now that I know that our iron cavalry is leaving, I will naturally send troops to attack at night, intending to save morale."
Xu Rong was also puzzled and asked, "Wenhe, why does it have to be today?" Could it be that the Goguryeo army was not afraid of deception? ”
"Hehe," Jia Xu chuckled and said, "I said it just now, he Goguryeo can't afford to wait!" ”
In the middle of the night, the Han army camp at this time was already quiet, only the constantly flickering firelight was still burning.
The 30,000 Goguryeo army slowly approached, and the 30,000 army did not dare to make the slightest sound, and even the weapons were wrapped in black cloth.
The Goguryeo generals who led the team looked at the Han army camp in front of them, and felt apprehensive, excited, and uneasy, and felt very complicated.
Goguryeo was able to let him lead the team into battle, which made him nervous.
To be able to establish this immortal feat makes it exciting.
However, at this time, it had to face a powerful Han army, yes, it was strong, originally thought that the Han Dynasty had fallen lonely, but the recent Han army offensive, so that the Goguryeo Manchu Dynasty realized the strength of the Han army, in the siege war, the siege of the city and the defense of the city, the casualty ratio was one to four.
Who would believe this number if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes? With the proof of blood, the Goguryeo people knew about the powerful dynasty in the west of their country, and proved to the world that he was not lonely, that he was still strong and inviolable, and that the sentence "those who offend me and strong men will be punished even if they are far away" still exists.
When they were about one hundred and fifty meters away from the Han army, the leading general of Goguryeo shouted, "Drive the Han people out of our homeland, kill!" ”
"Kill"
The Goguryeo army tore off the black cloth from their weapons and rushed in shouting and killing.
However, as soon as they saw the Goguryeo army coming, the defenders on the Han army camp actually ran into the camp, shouting "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”
Seeing this, the Goguryeo general showed a crazy smile, haha, the Han army is afraid!
Immediately, the advance speed of the Goguryeo army became faster and faster, but when the army all rushed into the Han army camp, they found that the camp was empty.
The Goguryeo generals 'groaned' in their hearts, and the secret way was not good, and then they felt that something was wrong under their feet, and when they looked down, the entire camp was full of fire oil.
"Withdraw, withdraw!"
The Goguryeo generals, who found that there was fire oil under their feet and that there were no people around, finally knew that they were in ambush.
But by this time it was too late, and a huge shout of killing sounded from all sides, and then the gate was closed, and tens of thousands of torches were thrown in.
As soon as the torches touched the oil of fire, a fire burst onto the fire, but in the blink of an eye, the entire camp became a sea of fire, and the 30,000 Goguryeo army fled in all directions, flapping the flames on their bodies like dancers in the fire.
The Goguryeo army wanted to rush out of the camp, but was shot down by countless arrows of the Han army, and the short distance of twenty paces was like a moat at this moment.
The 20,000 Han army shot three sections, and the distance of 20 steps could completely seal the gate of the camp.
The fire burned all night, and the 30,000-strong army was wiped out, and no one was spared, and the smell of barbecue in the air made the elite tiger army vomit.
When the lord of Goguryeo learned the news, he immediately fell to the ground.
The Goguryeo Manchu Dynasty was immediately panicked, in order to give the Han army a fatal blow, only 10,000 of the 30,000 troops who went to the night attack were recruits, and now these 30,000 troops were all wiped out, and only 10,000 of the 30,000 troops left in the capital were veterans.
How can this kingdom be kept? This is what Goguryeo has always thought about from top to bottom.
So after the Goguryeo lord recovered a little, the prime minister and the military generals came to the palace of the Goguryeo lord.
"King, withdraw from the national capital!"
"At this time, the south of Changqing is in the hands of the Han people, and the north of Changqing is attacked by Fuyu, where can we retreat?"
"King, I think the cavalry of the Han army must be heading to Changqing, if the northern army is defeated under Changqing City, then we will never turn over. Now we can retreat to Mount Gaima, where we will make peace with the northern army, and then return to the capital with our whole army. ”
Hearing this, a flash of gleam flashed in the eyes of the Goguryeo lord, and he immediately said, "Okay, just do it." ”
On the evening of April 12 in the third year of Jianning, the lord of Goguryeo and the Manchu Dynasty fled from the national capital in a hurry, and the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army immediately attacked the national capital with the army of Huben in order to prevent the Goguryeo people from destroying the materials in the city.
Subsequently, the front of the Tiger Ben army was ordered to chase and capture, capturing three children of the Goguryeo lord, hundreds of wives and daughters of the Goguryeo ministers, and countless amounts of money and wealth were obtained. At this point, except for Gaima Mountain, the southern territory of Goguryeo and Changqing belonged to the Han Dynasty.
