Chapter Fifty-Six: The Great Victory of the East County
Pingyang became the sad place for the combined forces of Qi and Zhao, and after the 40,000 Qi troops were wiped out outside Pingyang, the Zhao army also followed in the footsteps. Fifteen thousand Zhao soldiers died under the crossbows and trebuchets of the Korean army, and the blood stained the land so red that it didn't take long for the snow to turn dark red, and the land seemed to have become a place abandoned by the gods.
The Qi and Zhao coalition troops were divided into four routes, and launched a round of continuous offensives against the Korean army camp with only 40,000 garrisons, and the fierce fighting lasted for five days, and finally the Qi and Zhao alliance paid the price of 70,000 people to break through the Korean army camp! Remember, it was the attack, not the total annihilation of the South Korean army!
Having lost the support of the camp, the Qi and Zhao coalition forces thought that they could rely on their huge numerical advantage to annihilate the remaining 20,000 Korean troops in the camp in one fell swoop. But the appearance of Li Mu's army changed this qiē!
With 10,000 Yulin Army as the vanguard (the Yulin Army originally belonged to Li Mu, and then led by Han Teng to attack Lantian, after the Xiongnu invaded Qin, Han Teng in accordance with the will of the King of Han, led the troops to attack the pass, the cavalry was not suitable for siege warfare, so it was transferred to Li Mu), 100,000 Han troops appeared in the rear of the unsuspecting Qi and Zhao coalition armies, at this time, 40,000 Qi and Zhao coalition troops were fighting with 20,000 Han troops, and only 80,000 troops could still be mobilized!
Lian Po was frightened, and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to assemble and prepare to meet the enemy! It is undeniable that the Han army was caught off guard by killing itself, but the combined forces of Qi and Zhao now have 120,000! The Korean army that is charging, plus the Korean army in the camp and in Pingyang City, is only 130,000, but 10,000 more than their own! But he ignored the combat effectiveness of the Qi army, and ignored the influence of the abruptly reversed shape on the morale and morale of the army!
The weakness of the Qi army's combat effectiveness has become the most fatal flaw of the coalition forces at this point. For the Qi army, the loss of 40,000 soldiers at the beginning was very demoralizing, but the later battle against the Han army camp was assisted by the Zhao army. It also really exercised courage and confidence! If Li Mu's army does not appear, the Qi army should be able to completely annihilate the 20,000 Korean troops, and then break through Pingyang, and a strong army may reappear on this stage!
However, the Korean army led by Li Mu completely strangled the growing Qi army, and the Qi army, which had finally regained its confidence, was suddenly surrounded by the Korean army that occupied the superior forces, and such a big uplift was too exciting. And such a stimulus is something that today's Qi army cannot bear.
Therefore, as soon as the Qi army, which acted as the rear army, and the Korean army fought, they were defeated! From the Yulin army rushing into the Qi army camp to the Qi army's hasty eastward escape, it was just a cup of tea!!
The rear army of the Qi army, which has 30,000 people, can't hold out for a cup of tea in front of the Yulin army, of course, because of the excellent combat power of the Yulin army, but more importantly, the Qi army is timid! Once confidence and courage are lost on the battlefield, no matter how well-equipped and how large the number of troops is, it will inevitably fail after all!
