Chapter 998: Goryeo Dies
In the main world, the Goryeo Kingdom opened its capital, and Yanjia, Xiandeng Dead Soldiers, and Liaodong Infantry attacked this royal city of Goryeo under the supervision of Le Yi!
The northern part of Goryeo had been occupied by the Liaodong Army, and the rebellious Goryeo army was suppressed, killing tens of thousands of people.
Le Yi concentrated all his forces and besieged Kaijing.
Le Yi recruited more than 100,000 Goryeo soldiers as cannon fodder for the attack on the Goryeo King City!
As the king of Goryeo, Yi Sung-gye had to personally go to the city to defend and advance and retreat with the defenders.
Le Yi and Geng Yi were good at attacking cities, and the defenders of Goryeo were under tremendous pressure.
Yubu Weixin, a retainer of the Dongying reinforcement army Tachibana Michiyuki, was wounded by the Xiangyang cannon, and more than half of the samurai of the Tachibana family who came to support the Goryeo Kingdom suffered casualties.
The Satsuma samurai of the Shimazu family, as one of the most courageous samurai in Toei, also suffered heavy losses.
Yoshihiro Shimazu's katana was curled by a fierce battle.
Because Le Yi forced the coalition army into Kaijing City and besieged samurai such as Tachibana Michiyuki and Shimazu Yoshihiro, he was called the military god of Yanyun by the Dongying samurai.
Although the Dongying warriors gave themselves an inexplicable title, it did not mean that Le Yi would show mercy, but set up hundreds of large counterweight trebuchets to bombard the royal city, and then the Liaodong heavy infantry carried the Goryeo Kingdom to surrender and launched a fierce attack on the Goryeo King City.
"This city is hard to defend, and I can't just die here."
Bland, the commander of the Fire Dragon Legion of the United States, brought many reinforcements who died in the offensive of the Liaodong Army.
In addition to using the soldiers of Goryeo as cannon fodder, the Liaodong army also used Mongolian cavalry as archers to provide cover for the siege troops.
"Brand, the one who went to negotiate, how is it now?"
"The Xia army claims that Goryeo is their territory since ancient times and does not accept negotiations, but if our Fire Dragon Legion wants to withdraw from Kaegyo, they are willing to give us a passage......"
"Damn, the Han Empire is still so arrogant."
Brand was furious but helpless in the face of the aggressive Han Empire.
The United States went to war with the Mayan kingdoms and the Aztec Empire in Central America, and legions such as griffins, white eagles, and crusaders were locked in bitter battles in the jungle, leaving no strength to support the distant kingdom of Goryeo.
"Commander, we may have to cede Goryeo."
"If we give up the chess piece of Goryeo, the Han Empire may consider occupying the four islands of Dongying, and then march eastward to expedition to our American civilization region."
"Defending the four islands of Dongying is easier for us than defending the Goryeo Kingdom, and the cavalry advantage of the Han Empire is completely ineffective in the four islands of Dongying, which are mainly mountainous."
Reinforcements from the United States are already considering retreat.
"These samurai and dragoons, they are not necessarily reliable."
The king of Goryeo, Yi Sung-gye, had already sensed that the reinforcements sent by the Fire Dragon Legion, the Tachibana family, and the Shimazu family wanted to retreat.
"What should we do, King?"
The military generals of the Goryeo State, Jiang Handzan, Zhang Wan and others gathered under Li Chenggui's tent, feeling confused about the future.
If the Goryeo King Fortress is breached, although they can still retreat to some mountain fortresses in the south to hold on, they will lose the most important two cities, Kaegyong and Seogyong? There is basically no possibility of a reversal.
"If the city is broken? Then surrender. Anyway...... Not for the first time. ”
Li Chenggui's mentality is not bad.
"The Xia army has begun to attack the city again!"
The defenders on the city walls beat gongs and drums to remind the army in the city? Le Yi wants to take Kaijing during the time when Chutian is away? In order to invite credit from Chutian after he returns.
Le Yi is not the only one who has such an idea? All the generals who participated in the battle to destroy the kingdom of Goryeo were eager for military achievements.
With a war exploit? to be promoted.
Can Mi Fang become a general of Wuwei with the merits accumulated over the past ten years? Mulan was made a marquis for killing Chagatai, so nothing is impossible.
Le Yi, Prince Yan, Li Mu and other military generals stood under Kaijing City and looked up at the majestic Kaijing.
"This time it's a general attack, take Kaijing? Then there is the merit of destroying the country? All those who participate in the battle will receive an additional month's salary. ”
Le Yi lined up and gathered 100,000 Goryeo soldiers and 300,000 Xia troops, a total of 400,000 troops, to launch a general attack on the royal city!
Below the Goryeo King's City? The Xia army's military strength was endless.
Hundreds of Yangyang cannons bombarded the super-grade walls of the Goryeo King City day and night.
The arrow towers and towers of the city wall have been razed, and the defenders of Goryeo Kingdom are trying to strengthen their defenses? Construction of wooden fences on dilapidated city walls.
The Xiangyang cannon destroyed the wooden fence again, and the fire spread on the city wall? Smoke billowed from the air.
The Xia army bombarded the city walls only with Xiangyang artillery, while the infantry stopped the offensive.
The anomaly made the Goryeo defenders realize that the day of the decisive battle had come.
An army of 400,000? The number has already outnumbered the defenders.
The teleportation array of the Goryeo King City was cut off? Outside the city are all enemy troops? The southern cities were unable to transport grain, grass and weapons to the royal city, and became an isolated city.
Tachibana Michiyuki, the lord of Tachibana Mountain Castle, found important retainers such as Yubu Nobu, Andong Ietada, Takano Daizen, and Ono Zhenyuki: "If I am unfortunately killed in this battle, let Chiyo serve as the governor of the Tachibana family." ”
Ono Zhenyuki said: "Chiyoden is only six years old this year, and I am afraid it will be difficult to suppress many retainers......"
"I believe in your loyalty, only loyalty can gain a foothold in troubled times."
"Yes."
In order to prevent accidents, Tachibana Michiyuki explained the aftermath in advance, and at this time, Shimazu Yoshihiro, the general of the Shimazu family, came over: "You don't have to be pessimistic, Brand of the Fire Dragon Legion has decided to withdraw from this city, and we can return to Kyushu Island to end this desperate battle." ”
The retainers of the Tachibana family were all moved: "Our retreat means that this war is lost." ”
"Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood, and prepare to break through. The Xia army was in a hurry to break the city, and he didn't care about us, and even hoped that we would withdraw from Goryeo and not stumble on them. ”
Shimazu Yoshihiro was also frightened by Le Yi's momentum, coupled with the heavy losses of the Satsuma samurai, and his thoughts were returned, so he was unwilling to help Li Chenggui defend the city.
It was also a good thing for the samurai of the Tachibana family.
The war drums of the Xia army sounded, and the 400,000 Xia army launched a general attack on the Goryeo King City, and the black wave completely engulfed the royal city!
The southern gate of the castle is wide open, and the samurai of the Fire Dragon Legion, the Tachibana family, and the Shimazu family break through!
Sure enough, as Shimazu Yoshihiro guessed, Le Yi's purpose was to take the Goryeo King City, and he was not interested in them, and the Xia army at the south gate was just a patrol, and quickly got out of the way.
Siege can break the psychology of the defenders to the death, so it is often used in siege warfare.
The reinforcements of the Goryeo Kingdom fled, and the remaining Goryeo defenders were unable to hold the royal city at all.
The North City Gate was the first to be broken by Yanjia, Zhu Neng, Gongsun Kang and other Xia army generals boarded the city to capture the flag, occupied the North City Gate, and the Mongolian cavalry, Wuhuan cavalry, and Xianbei cavalry swarmed in!
Le Yi and other generals of the Xia army stood on the hillside outside the city, watching the banner of the Xia army planted on the wall of Kaijing, and tens of thousands of cavalry entered the city, knowing that they had finally taken the Goryeo Kingdom.
At the end of the 15th year of the lord's calendar, the Goryeo king's castle was destroyed, which was also the second time that the Goryeo kingdom was destroyed, and it was ravaged by two princes of the Han Empire. In the battle to destroy the country of Goryeo, as many as one million young and strong people of Goryeo were killed in succession, and the national strength fell to the bottom.
For a time, the Overworld was shocked, and the Dongying Shogunate and the countries of Southeast Asia panicked, because they might repeat the fate of the Goryeo Kingdom.
The Goryeo king Yi Sung-gye was defeated and led some of his generals to surrender to the Xia army, while a few dissatisfied Goryeo generals retreated to many mountain cities in the south and resisted stubbornly.
United States, Virginia, a group of players formed a council that fell out over the destruction of the Kingdom of Goryeo.
"The Fire Dragon Legion spent 500,000 gold coins to support the king of Goryeo, Lee Sung-gye, and what did we get? Except for the loss of tens of thousands of people, there is no benefit! ”
"Stupid, if the expansion of the Han Empire is not curbed, it will be necessary to pay not only 800,000 gold coins in the future, but 80 million gold coins!"
"The Goryeo Kingdom has fallen, and the Dongying Shogunate can only be supported."
"The conquest of the Mayan civilization and the Aztec civilization has restrained more than a dozen of our legions, and these civilizations in the jungle are more powerful than we imagined, and we still need to deal with the opponents in the jungle as soon as possible."
