Chapter 177
But the fact is that nearly 200,000 troops besieged Liaoyang City from all sides, and after dozens of times, Liaoyang City was still in the hands of the Liao army, while the Fusang army had suffered nearly thirty percent casualties.
Toyotomi Shixu knew that the soldiers of the Fusang Army did their best, in addition to the fortification of Liaoyang City, the main reason was that the ordnance of the Fusang Army was too secondary, and often the soldiers of the two armies fought, and the blades of the two sides collided, and the blades of the soldiers of the Fusang Army were cut off by the scimitars of the Liao Army.
But this did not affect Toyotomi Shixu to cut off the ear of Yelu Jing's envoy, Toyotomi Shixu released the messenger and asked him to go back and pass the word to Yelu Jing, if you want to live, the only way is to surrender.
Toyotomi Shixu had received the news from Toyotomi Shouren, knowing that the Liao army reinforcements had gone south, and he knew even more that the significance of being able to capture Liaoyang City, there was no time to delay, and then Toyotomi Shixu ordered the whole army to attack the city again.
The worship of Toyotomi Shixu by the soldiers of the Fuso Army is like a god, and in their hearts, Toyotomi Shixu is a god, the god of war.
Following Toyotomi Shixu, he has never lost a battle.
So this time, they still firmly believe that victory will be theirs.
The soldiers of the Fusang Army rushed to the city wall regardless of death, as long as they could climb up any method was used, some of them directly brought a long pillar and put it diagonally on the city wall, and they surged to climb upward, and in exchange for it was often a few soldiers of the Liao Army who gently pushed, and more than a dozen people in the climb in an instant all fell down or died or were injured.
But the soldiers of the Fuso Army under the city quickly erected the long pillar and surged up again.
And so on and so forth, and so on, and so on.
There were even soldiers of the Fuso Army who gathered the bodies of soldiers who had died in battle before and piled them together into a "meat pile". It was as high as half of the city wall of Liaoyang, and a ladder was set up on the meat pile to attack the city wall.
Countless people died. The meat pile is also getting higher and higher. The Liao army in the city has almost collapsed, two fists and two enemies and four hands, the Liao army, which was rapidly attritional, can no longer resist the attack of the locust-like Fusang soldiers due to insufficient troops, and the east, south, and west gates have been broken, and only the north gate is barely maintained because of Yelujing's personal supervision.
But three walls were broken. It's hard to stand alone.
The soldiers of the Fusang Army quickly opened the three city gates, and the army poured into Liaoyang City like a tide.
The morale of the Fuso soldiers was greatly boosted, and the commander was indeed the god of war. That's what every soldier of the Fuso Army thinks in their hearts.
Yelujing had already drawn his saber and was ready to go into battle himself.
The corners of Toyotomi Shixu's mouth began to turn up, and the city gates were broken on three sides, although the north gate was still in the hands of the Liao army. But the army has already entered the city. There is also a Fusang army outside the north gate, Yelujing, unless you kill yourself, you should be taken prisoner.
It was at this juncture that the heavens once again exerted its unparalleled destructive power, reversing the tide of the battle that had no suspense.
When the Fusang army on three sides attacked the city, the semicircle surrounded the thousands of Liao troops in the north city gate, ready to give the final blow. The sound of horses' hooves sounded from the north like a torrential rain.
After Yelu Lihu defeated the army of Toyotomi Shouren Fuso with 80,000 cavalry. With 20,000 casualties, he took a short rest, leaving 10,000 cavalry to guard Longhua Prefecture, and actually let go of the Toyotomi Shouren Department on the other side of the Liao River in the east, turned his horse's head, and led 50,000 cavalry to quickly go south and go straight to Liaoyang.
Seeing this, Toyotomi Shouren immediately felt that something was wrong, so he ordered the army to cross west again, attack Longhua Prefecture, and contain it, and at the same time sent several messengers to inform Toyotomi Shixu.
But the messenger did not arrive before Yelu Lihu, and even if he arrived before Yelu Lihu, in a short time, Toyotomi Shixu could not gather the more than 100,000 Fuso troops that had been spilled out for defense.
Even if they were gathered for defense, the ordnance and equipment of the Fusang army could not resist the charge of the 50,000 Liao cavalry.
As a result, since the Fusang army entered Goryeo and Liao, the biggest and worst defeat occurred.
Yelu Lihu led 50,000 cavalry to the north gate like a wind and leaves, quickly defeated the Fusang army outside the north gate, and then divided into east and west roads, quickly went south, entered Liaoyang City from the east and west gates, and only took half an hour to sweep away the Fusang army in the city.
After contacting Yelu Jing at the north gate, he left 5,000 cavalry under Yelu Jing's command, and Yelu Lihu himself led more than 40,000 cavalry to raid the south gate.
Half an hour, just half an hour, the battle situation was rewritten, from ecstasy to madness, the bloody Toyotomi Shixu spurted out a mouthful of blood, and at this time Toyotomi Shixu had fallen into madness.
He actually ordered the entire Fusang army outside the southern city to raid the city of Liaoyang.
The soldiers of the Fuso Army believed that Toyotomi Shixu was used to it, and actually launched an attack on Liaoyang in accordance with the order.
When the city gate was broken on three sides, the army had already rushed into the city, and the only one who remained at the south gate was the 30,000 soldiers of Toyotomi Shixu as a reserve, and at this time, they attacked Liaoyang City without knowing whether they were alive or dead.
collided with the oncoming Yelu Lihu more than 40,000 cavalry.
Fortunately, Yelu Lihu was also caught off guard, the cavalry did not enter the state of charge, and when the two sides found each other, they were already rapidly approaching, but this could not change the tide of the battle.
The two sides fought fiercely for half an hour, and when Yelu Jing led the team to clean up the tens of thousands of Fusang rebels who were defeated by Yelu Lihu, he rushed to the south gate, and the defeat of the Fusang army was decided.
At this time, Toyotomi Shixu had gradually sobered up from his madness, and the bloody scene in front of him made him understand that he was afraid that he would have to confess here today.
Although he was unwilling, Toyotomi Shixu never had the slightest intention of surrendering to the Liao army, and death may be a relief, but it was a pity that Yasuko of Fusang and the child he had never met.
Erasing the last trace of sobriety in his mind, Toyotomi Shixu drew his war knife and killed in the direction of Yelu Lihu.
……。
Guo Wei began to fight back.
On the fifteenth day of the first month, Guo Wei issued an order to crown the prince Guo Rong as the Tongping Chapter.
On 11 February, Guo Wei reenacted the scene of Meng Chang eliminating Li Renhan, ambushed the guards in the palace, and when Wang Jun swaggered to attend the court meeting, in front of the civil and military ministers, after Guo Wei gave an order, the guards quickly captured Wang Jun.
At this time, Guo Wei explained to the civil and military officials with tears in his eyes: "Wang Jun, a thief, has no immorality in his eyes, and has repeatedly seized power, if he succeeds, where will I go?" Besides, my heirs all died in the previous dynasty, and now there is only one adopted son, Guo Rong, who is also unable to fulfill his filial piety because of Wang Junyin's obstruction, what do you say, what should this Wang Jun do? ”
Most of the courtiers of the Zhou State were left by the previous dynasty, and some even went through several dynasties, which one was not a clever lord?
This Wang Jun has been taken, and the emperor has already called it a thief, everyone understands that Wang Jun is going to fall, so they have played one after another, asking for the origin to deal with Wang Jun, and some people have even played the Tao to Ling Chi Wang Jun.
Guo Wei knew that Wang Jun had no rebellious intentions, but was just arrogant and arrogant, thinking that he had been following him, and he couldn't bear to execute Wang Jun after all.
On February 14, Guo Wei issued an edict that Wang Jun, the former privy envoy, the envoy of the Pinglu Army, the left servant of Shangshu, the Pingzhangshi, and the supervisor of the national history, was demoted to Sima of Shangzhou because of his mistakes. (To be continued......)
