Chapter 170

But that didn't affect the outcome of the war.

The two armies set up positions, and the first to engage was naturally the cavalry.

And the decisive battle of the cavalry is naturally a charge, and the hedge of 60,000 cavalry is shocking.

The cavalry of the two armies quickly approached, contacted, and the handover place instantly flew sideways, and the skillful sword skills of the cavalry of the Liao army made the Fusang army fall off their horses, and the Fusang cavalry at this time only mastered the charge with a spear, and even the sword was not configured.

But this does not mean that the Fusang army can only be killed by the sword, and the rapid impact of the gun makes the Liao army who is not close to the side feel a headache, and the cavalry decisive battle gradually evolves into a close battle, the Fusang army has the advantage, and once it is close, the Liao army has the advantage.

And the cavalry of the Liao army only gave the Fusang cavalry a certain amount of damage at the beginning.

Once close, it can only be hand-to-hand combat.

It is often the lives of two or even three Fusang troops that are exchanged for the lives of one Liao army, but even so, the Fusang army is still happy to do it.

In this bloody battle, the 30,000 cavalry of the Fusang Army were wiped out, while the 30,000 cavalry of the Liao Army only suffered more than 10,000 casualties.

With the Liao cavalry meeting 50,000 infantry, they marched south.

The 40,000 Fusang army chose to retreat and retreated into Shuozhou and Changjin to wait for reinforcements.

Toyotomi Shixu on the Yalu River was shocked when he heard about the battle.

If the Liao army reinforcements could not be blocked, then the defense line of the Yalu River would be lost, and if the Yalu River was lost, it would have to retreat south of Xijing (Pyongyang).

Toyotomi Shixu decided to give it a go, leaving 30,000 Fusang troops to defend the Yalu River, and he led 40,000 troops north to support the front line of Shuozhou and Changjin.

Three days later, Toyotomi Shixu arrived in Shuozhou. Yelu Wuzhen is leading the Liao army to attack Shuozhou and Changjin two cities.

The Fusang army guarding the two cities of Shuozhou and Changjin once again gave full play to its national characteristics, and it was not possible to fight in the field, but it was good to defend the city.

No matter how Jerod's cavalry and infantry attacked. The two cities did not move at all.

As soon as Toyotomi Shixu arrived, he immediately ordered the whole army to raid.

Perhaps it was providence, after Yelu Wuzhi eliminated 30,000 Fusang cavalry, he had completely occupied the initiative on the battlefield.

However, due to the eagerness to win, the division of troops attacked Shuozhou and Changjin at the same time. Yelu Wuzhi led 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry to attack Shuozhou, and ordered his Liao general to lead 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry to attack Changjin City.

At this time, Toyotomi Shixu led an army of 40,000 to Shuozhou. launched a surprise attack on the Yelu House Quality Office, but occupied a local battlefield advantage.

In the face of Toyotomi Shixu's arrival, Yelu Ya obviously didn't have much defense. When the army was attacking the city, the 40,000 Fusang troops who were attacked took advantage of the situation, and a scuffle broke out.

The 20,000 Fusang troops stationed in Shuozhou City saw that reinforcements had arrived. Quickly go out of the city and launch a counterattack against the Liao army.

The scene was too chaotic. I don't know if it was the Fusang army that surrounded the Liao army, or whether the Liao army divided the Fusang army.

But in terms of numbers, the 60,000 Fusang army had an advantage over the Liao army of 40,000.

And the most headache for the Liao army was that due to the attack on Shuozhou City in advance, the Liao cavalry did not prepare to charge in formation, and the cavalry without speed was like a tiger falling into Pingchuan.

The battle lasted from noon until it was dark.

A corpse in a place outside the city of Shuozhou. And the Liao army unexpectedly collapsed at this time.

It is said that it was because the Liao army's main general, Yelu Wuzhi, was injured by a stray arrow, which led to the rout of the Liao army.

But for Toyotomi Shixu, who was on the battlefield. This is a ridiculous reason, because the Fuso army did not fire any arrows at all during this battle, except before the surprise attack. Toyotomi Shixu believes that it is the ruthlessness of the Fusang army that makes the Liao army collapse in hand-to-hand combat.

But in the end, the Liao army broke and fled, and at this time, Toyotomi Shixu ordered the soldiers who had originally guarded Shuozhou City to join the queue and pursue the fleeing Liao army.

Deserters have an instinct to run where they think it is safe.

And the safest place on the battlefield is, naturally, the position of friendly forces.

So, the soldiers all over the mountains and fields were like frightened rabbits, and they went to Changjin City in the night.

The Liao army, which was very safe to attack Changjin City, was camped and rested outside the city.

was quickly overwhelmed by the sudden crowd, and there was no suspense in the next battle.

Yelu Wuzhi was covered by his own soldiers and led the remnants to escape across the Yalu River in Luzhou, and after counting the number of people, it was found that there were only more than 30,000 people left in the 80,000-strong army. The most tragic thing is that only 8,000 of the 30,000 cavalry remained.

The 80,000 infantry of the Fusang army, only less than 20,000 casualties, leaving the 30,000 Fusang army to clean up the battlefield, Toyotomi Shixu was worried about Yizhou, afraid that Yelu Jing would take advantage of the Fusang army's empty strength in Yizhou to launch an attack, after the whole army, early the next morning, Toyotomi Shixu led 30,000 troops south to return to Yizhou.

And as Toyotomi Shixu worried.

On the second day after Toyotomi Shixu led his army north, Yelu Jing bypassed the far city and launched a forced crossing.

Yelu Jing continued to besiege Laiyuan City with 40,000 cavalry, transferred 10,000 cavalry to the Yalu River to make a feint, and ordered Yelu Enemy to lead 30,000 Liao infantry who had been purged to launch the battle of forcibly crossing the Yalu River.

On the other side of the river, there were only 30,000 Fusang troops, and they were distributed along the long banks of the Yalu River.

The army was weak, and at this time, Yelu led 30,000 infantry to launch a forcible crossing ten miles north of Yizhou, which caught the Fuso army off guard.

At the cost of thousands of men, most of the Liao army landed and routed the Fusang army defending there, and began to consolidate the beachside position in response to Yelujing's army crossing the river.

Originally, the victory was already in hand, but Yelu Jing did not expect that there was another dark chess on this battlefield, that is, this dark chess rewrote the course of the war.

When Yelu Jing once again sent 20,000 cavalry from far away to the Yalu River, and joined the 10,000 cavalry that had been feint, with 30,000 people, as long as the river crossing was successful, Yelu Jing was sure that these elites would be enough to sweep away the entire Goryeo.

Taking advantage of the night, the Fusang army in the far city in the middle of the night actually hollowed out the bricks and stones blocked by the south gate, opened the south gate, rushed out of the 10,000 army, and quickly defeated the Liao cavalry besieging the south gate in their sleep, and then quickly went south, following the 20,000 cavalry who were high by Yelu Jing to the Yalu River.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the Fusang army in the city quickly sealed the south gate again, and the 10,000 Fusang troops who went out had no way back.

The Fusang army that broke through the siege was already holding on to death, and had no idea of retreating to the distant city.

Only half a day later than the cavalry, when Yelujing ordered the cavalry to cross the river, the boat reached the middle of the river, the 10,000 Fusang army had already rushed to the Yalu River, and immediately launched a suicide raid on the Liao army.

Assault on twice as many cavalry as oneself can only be a joke.

But when you are caught off guard, the joke becomes true.

Although 10,000 cavalry sailed off the shore, there were still 20,000 Liao cavalry on the shore.

In the face of the surprise attack of the Fusang army, the Liao army quickly got on the horse, but it was only on the horse, and before it had time to accelerate the sprint, the two armies had already met.

After a tragic and swift hand-to-hand fight, the riverside was in shambles. (To be continued......)
