Chapter 557: Decapitation (10)
This unprecedented battle, in which the two sides invested more than 60,000 soldiers, ended in a crushing defeat for the Koreans.
At this time, the garrison in the capital of Goryeo opened the capital, and after losing the Yingyang Army (all), the left and right guards (all), the Shenhuwei (all), the Xingwei (all), and the Jinwuwei (six-led cavalry), the regular army still had two leaders of the Dragon and Tiger Army, one leader of the Jinwu Guard, one leader of the Qianniu Guard, and one leader of the prison guard, which was worthy of 5,000 men and horses.
Of course, there are more than 30,000 Goryeo generals and second-rate troops in Kaeongseong. However, these horses are more than enough to act as grass head troops on the city wall, but when the main force of the Goryeo Kyung army is completely annihilated, it is difficult for a strong man to call them down to fight against an unfathomable opponent.
In this way, Kaijing is like an undefended city, presented in front of the imposing Liangshan army. After all, how and when to take it depends on when Liang Shanjun can free his hands.
After Yang Zhi, who was "affectionately" called "Yang Picks Up Leaks" by his colleagues in the Ma Army, he can get an approximate number of the war horses captured in this battle, excluding those who were killed on the spot by the Shenji Battalion, plus those who ran away in fright and lost their lives on the battlefield, about 7,000.
After learning this number, the leaders of the Liangshan Horse Army all shouted regret, after all, a good battle of annihilation, but in the end only captured a little more than fifty percent of the opponent's war horses, where can everyone be satisfied? In the future, ten horse army battalions and two garrison battalions will be divided equally, how much can everyone get? What's more, there are also a group of red-eyed guys like Bujun, who don't want to get a piece of the pie all the time.
However, for this battle, the Ma army really can't say anything hard, although the capture is all up to them, but it is undeniable that the main force is still the infantry after all. In this battle, even Shi Yong, the deputy general of the second battalion of the infantry army, was bravely wounded, and his life and death were unknown, which made it even more difficult for them to speak.
Although the Liangshan Horse and Infantry armies love to earn a long time on weekdays. However, when a brother was injured, the generals still showed their true feelings, handed over the team to the deputy to clean up the battlefield, and made an appointment to come over to visit Shi Yong.
As soon as they arrived at Huitianying, everyone heard An Daoquan telling Wang Lun in detail about Shi Yong's injury, at this time Wang Lun listened to An Daoquan say a lot of light and heavy words, and finally heard a clue, it turned out that the injury on Shi Yong's head was a moderate concussion, not serious. But it's not light, although he wakes up safely now, he still has to rest a lot, and the next series of battles are afraid that he will not have a chance.
"Fuck! Where do you know that these Dongyi recognized me, and they threw stones at my section of the city wall, I was bigger or what, just hit him! Are you unlucky? Shi Yong on the hospital bed didn't think that this injury was a big deal, but "complained" to the leaders around him very gloriously.
"You shout and scold these guys, don't focus on taking care of you. These guys aren't called barbarians anymore! I only heard Lu Zhishen laugh and laugh, Shi Yong was not in any big trouble at this time, which made him feel extremely relieved, in the end, they were all the brothers of the infantry army. Before that, he didn't see that he was not as worried as Yuan Lang.
When everyone heard this, there was a kind smile on their faces, and Shi Yong was about to get up to answer, but he was forced by Hu Sanniang to speak. I only heard her say angrily: "Don't you want to stay in my Huitian camp all the time, and rely on my female soldiers to take care of it?" ”
Hu Sanniang's words made Shi Yong, who didn't know what shyness was, blush, and immediately obediently obeyed. Lying back on the hospital bed, he shouted: "Don't dare to have Sister Lao!" ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they started joking, and then Wang Lun pulled Yuan Lang aside and said, "I heard that you and Ling Zhen have a little misunderstanding?" ”
Yuan Lang sighed when he heard this, and said, "Don't dare to bother Brother Lao, Brother Shi is awake, and this matter will be over!" I have also figured it out now, friendly forces cooperate with each other, how can there be anything that is not wrong, as long as we are not deliberately ill-intentioned, we have to stand up for each other! ”
Wang Lun was very relieved to see Yuan Langken say this, and nodded: "When the explosives were not sounded, Ling Zhen was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, this is his first appearance after going up the mountain, and there was such a big fork, if we hadn't stopped him, he would have the heart to seek death!" Later, I have to go and see him in person, you don't know, he is risking his own life, who can predict when the explosives will suddenly detonate? You've seen its power with you, and it's likely that he's going to ring on the way, maybe his brother is gone! ”
The danger of black powder, Wang Lun knows better than anyone else. It was at the moment before the explosives went off that he was ready to implement the second set of plans, after all, in the future research and development of gunpowder, Wang Lun could only provide theoretical support, and practice had to rely on this firearms expert of the Great Song Dynasty. Wang Lun still understands which is more important than this. How did Ling Zhen have a strong sense of responsibility, so he didn't say goodbye at all, and even took a few people and secretly returned to the tunnel, but fortunately, in the end, there was no danger, and everyone was happy at this time.
Yuan Lang is a person who knows the general situation, not to mention that Shi Yong is fine at this time, naturally everything is easy to say, and he said at the moment: "He is also fighting with his life, but I am reckless, I will go and accompany him in person!" I wonder if my brother knows where he is now? ”
"When you didn't come over just now, he was here to talk to Shi Yong. Now more than a dozen half-good catapults of the Korean people have been pushed back, and I asked him to see if he can repair it, and temporarily use it to strengthen the defense of Licheng City! ”
Wang Lun patted Yuan Lang on the shoulder, in fact, he always felt that he couldn't stand this brother, because with Yuan Lang's strength, there was no problem at all with being ranked among the five tiger generals in the infantry army, but because of some considerations, he finally lost the election and he was defeated, and the brother was easy to say, but Yuan Lang was not as deep as Yuan Lang and himself, and asked him to sacrifice for the overall situation, Wang Lun always felt that he had been wronged too much.
Yuan Lang is a caring person, and he felt the unfinished meaning in Wang Lun's words at this time, and clasped his hands into fists and said: "Now that the enemy is present, this little mess on the younger brother still makes the elder brother worry about it, I really don't want to go!" My brother is a person who does great things, and sooner or later he will lead me and other brothers to open up a new world, and the younger brother will follow his brother, even if he doesn't ask for anything, he will be honored! ”
"It's serious!" Wang Lun shook his head and sighed, there were many things that were inconvenient to say at this time, but he personally sent Yuan Lang outside the tent, but when he saw Wen Huanzhang, Xu Guanzhong and Qiu Yi coming together, Yuan Lang stepped forward to greet the three of them, and then said goodbye.
Everyone watched Yuan Lang go away, but they heard Huan Zhang sigh: "Is there any danger, otherwise I am afraid that this battle will continue at this time." It seems that with the Shenji Battalion, the cities in the world are just like paper paste! ”
"This thing is very powerful, so that my brother has endured it and not come out in the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise the Zhao official family will hear it, and I am afraid that I will exhaust the strength of the whole country, and I will also fill up my Liangshan Shuipo!" Xu Guanzhong said with a smile when he heard this.
"Ling Zhen is an officer of the Great Song Dynasty, why didn't he show his ability before going up the mountain, and after going up the mountain, it was enough to make the king tremble? Owner of the village, what kind of black powder is this, is it your handiwork? "The hatred is delicate in the end, and you can see through the truth behind the matter at once.
"It doesn't matter if it's my handwriting, the important thing is that this secret weapon will be an important guarantee for me to conquer the city in Liangshanbo in the future!" Wang Lun smiled lightly.
Seeing that Wang Lun didn't say anything, Qiu Yi just shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then Wen Huanzhang said: "The captives are all locked up in several cleared compounds, and there are about 25,000 people before and after, so I am afraid that it is not appropriate to stay in Licheng like this, and I hope that my brother will make arrangements as soon as possible!" ”
Wang Lun thought for a while, and said to Qiu Xi: "Tairan, how about you take them all back in the past two days?" ”
"Well, it's not appropriate to stay here, if we leave it on the spot, I'm afraid that they will turn around against us in the future, so we should be sent to Jeju Island to be guarded! However, the number of garrisons on the island is too small, and if there is a riot, I am afraid that it will harass the people on the island! Qiu Wei raised his worries, it seems that he has completely regarded himself as a member of Liangshan at this time.
"You're right! The slaves released in Licheng Port plus this group of captives add up to more than 30,000 people, and they really can't be taken lightly at the moment! In this way, I will send General Guan and Brother Ou to bring people back with you, and ask Ma Lin to leave all the soldiers of the amphibious battalion except for the sailors on Jeju Island. ”
Wang Lun thought about it and said to the three people present. In fact, no matter who is transferred back at this time, everyone is 10,000 unhappy in their hearts, but fortunately, Ou Peng has the first merit in capturing the city, and Guan Sheng also has a record of destroying 3,000 cavalry in Goryeo with a single battalion, so they should give up the opportunity to other brother battalions, and there should be nothing to say.
"Very good!" Wen Huanzhang held his long hair and said, "The amphibious battalion is a large battalion of 3,000 people, excluding sailors, there are more than 2,000 soldiers available, General Guan will not say it, and the three thousand fully armed cavalry are not under his words, let alone these prisoners?" ”
"What Taishou said is very true, after I go back, I will mobilize the people on the island to be strong, and I can ensure that nothing goes wrong!" Qiu Yu Chao Wen Huanzhang hugged his fists, for some reason, he was more casual in front of Wang Lun, but in the face of this Taishou, he seemed to be very polite.
"I think there are many ready-made Goryeo merchant ships in the port at this time, so it is better to requisition them all! Bring back all the captured horses and supplies and treasures! Xu Guanzhong added: "In addition, the stature of these Koreans is generally not high, and we can't use the more than 30,000 sets of armor that have been captured, so let's see what to do with it!" ”
"What does Guan Zhong think?" Wang Lun didn't believe that Xu Guanzhong didn't even have an idea about this, so he asked with a smile.
Xu Guanzhong smiled, and put the thoughts in his heart one by one: "To say that there are many good animal skins in these armors, but our Liangshanbo is not short of armor at all, not to mention the capture of repeated wars, it is the armor that was moved back from the official warehouse in the battle of the Daimyo's Mansion, and it has not been used in full yet." According to the younger brother, is it saved first, and it can be used when forming a servant army in the future? (To be continued......)
