Chapter 960: The United States Strikes
Anju City of Goryeo, this city experienced the fate of Yiju City, was captured by the Liaodong Army under the command of Le Yi, 90,000 Goryeo soldiers were killed and captured, and the main general Jiang Handzan was forced to abandon Anju City and retreat to the third line of defense - Xijing.
In the battle of Anju City, Le Yi drove 30,000 Goryeo troops to be cannon fodder to attract the arrow rain of the defenders of Anju City and fill in the trenches.
After a fierce battle, Anzhou City was ruined again.
Broke through the two fortress cities of Uiju City and Anju City in the north of Goryeo, and the Liaodong Army also lost 100,000 casualties.
The Goryeo Kingdom lost as many as 260,000 soldiers and horses in the north.
The city of Pyongyang, Xijing, one of the two most important cities in Goryeo, was already under the threat of Le Yi's troops.
"Open the teleportation array of Anju City, and let the troops, grain, grass, and weapons of Liaodong City be transported to Goryeo."
Le Yi opened the teleportation array between Anzhou City and Liaodong City to ensure that he could obtain supplies from Liaodong City.
In the Great War of Goryeo, tens of millions of arrows were consumed, even Le Yi thought it was an astronomical amount.
However, the Chutian forces were currently the richest forces in East Asia, occupying agricultural areas such as the North China Plain and the Guanzhong Plain, and trading with Dongying, boiling the sea for salt.
Le Yi rested in Anzhou City for ten days, and Liaodong City replenished Le Yi's Liaodong Army with arrows, and provided 50,000 low-level soldiers, so that the strength of the Liaodong Army was restored to 250,000.
Le Yi continued to march south, aiming directly at Xijing in Goryeo.
Xijing, the main general will be Jiang Hanzan, the general of the Goryeo Kingdom.
Jiang Handan gathered more than 300,000 troops in Xijing and swore to resist the Liaodong army to the death.
However, Jiang Handan knew the reality of the 300,000 army.
It is impossible for Goryeo to have a million elites, on the contrary, there are only a small number of elites, most of which are low-level troops, and there are many rebels and village warriors.
Therefore, it is clear that the Goryeo Kingdom is on the defensive, and the losses are more than the Liaodong Army, and the Liaodong Army lost 100,000 under the premise of a strong attack, while the Goryeo army lost 260,000 casualties.
If they had fought in the field, the number of Goryeo troops would have reached 350,000.
The state of Goryeo was already using national transportation to resist the offensive of the Liaodong army.
The number of young and strong people in Goryeo is not as good as that of the Han Empire, and if it is consumed like this, maybe even if it finally holds Goryeo, it will not be much different from the dead country.
There were 300,000 defenders in Xijing, but in the face of 250,000 Liaodong troops, people were panicked and thought that they could not be defended.
In fact, the Liaodong Army was not only 250,000 troops, but Le Yi also drove 50,000 Goryeo troops to surrender as the vanguard, which is equivalent to 300,000 troops.
is also 300,000, Le Yi's Liaodong army morale is high, and people in Xijing have fled.
"Close the city, women, children, old and young can leave, but young and strong people must not leave this city, and live and die with this city!"
Jiang Handan ordered the city to be closed and forbade the young men of Xijing to leave, otherwise it would be more difficult to defend the city.
Now it is not a question of food, but a question of whether it can be supported for a month under Le Yi's strong attack.
The morale of the Goryeo army had dropped, and Seogyong was a huge city that needed a large number of defenders.
"Don't be kidding, Yizhou City and Anzhou City have lost hundreds of thousands of young people, and if we stay in Xijing, it will be a dead end!"
"It's better to retreat to Kaijing, stick to Kaijing, and give up Xijing directly!"
"Get us out of town!"
A group of players and civilians from the Goryeo Kingdom crowded the gates of the city, trying to leave the dangerous city before the Liaodong army approached the city.
The Liaodong Army dealt with the army and the city of Goryeo without mercy.
A brutal war could have razed Saikyo to the ground.
The strict Goryeo soldiers with spears blocked the city gates, letting only the old and young women and children go. These people stay in the city and only consume food.
The clouds were thick, and Xijing was in chaos.
In Xijing's teleportation array, a group of blond-haired and blue-eyed musketeers came out of the teleportation array, and the Goryeo soldiers stationed in the teleportation array vigilantly surrounded the group.
A blonde player swaggered: "I am the reinforcement requested by King Li Chenggui, let your lord see me in the future." ”
When the Goryeo soldiers saw this group of alien troops appear in Xijing, it meant that their king Li Chenggui had signed an agreement with this group of alien troops, otherwise it would be impossible for the other party to use the teleportation array to come to this city.
Soon, Jiang Handzan, who was in charge of defending the city, came to see the chief general of this group of alien troops: "Jiang Handzan, the secretary of the military department of the Lower Goryeo. ”
The blonde player shook hands with Jiang Handzan, which made Jiang Handzan a little stunned: "Adams, lead 3,000 musketeers, 3,000 slave archers, and 4,000 light cavalry to help you repel the Han Empire's invasion." Please provide my soldiers with the best huts and rations at once, and the best rations for our horses. ”
Jiang Hanzan frowned.
He already knew that the king of Goryeo, Yi Sung-gye, had chosen to ask for help from the United States in the east, but Yi Sung-gye had promised to pay a satisfactory price to the United States and hire the legions of the United States to help him in the war.
Now the United States player named Adams in front of him has a lofty tone.
Players in the United States are also accustomed to contempt for other civilizations in a condescending manner.
In the Civilizational Zone of the Americas, no civilization can compete with them.
At present, the lord world has formed four powerful forces, the Han Empire, the Turkic Empire, the Western Powers, and the United States.
The United States was far larger than the Goryeo Kingdom in terms of population and territory, so it did have the strength to despise the United States.
In order to defend Xijing in the Goryeo Kingdom, Jiang Handan had to swallow his voice and endure his anger: "Heavenly soldiers come to help us resist strong enemies, all materials, naturally provide the best ......"
"Good."
Adams had 10,000 reinforcements, and when the Goryeo players learned that the United States had sent reinforcements, they were suddenly relieved.
At present, Marshall, the great lord of the United States, is the second lord after Chutian, and Adams is Marshall's staff and right-hand man, who wants to support the Goryeo Kingdom as a puppet to contain the development of the Han Empire.
Now that the king of Goryeo has foreign aid, the Goryeo kingdom, which was originally in danger, may not be destroyed.
"That's the Indian archers, and the West African archers......"
Goryeo players soon discovered that the slave soldiers of the United States were made up of captives from Indian and African civilizations.
Xijing has successively gathered more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, including 10,000 United States legions, and 10,000 rebel troops composed of Goryeo players.
"Let's go and get a look, the cavalry of the Han Empire. Our United States has not been at war with the Han Empire even once in the Overworld, and this time they have experienced the horror of our Third Dragoon Regiment of the United States. ”
When the defenders of Goryeo closed the city and guarded themselves, and the people were panicking, the arrogant Adams wanted to challenge the Liaodong army.
"The Liaodong Army is brave and aggressive, are you sure you want to challenge the vanguard of the Liaodong Army?"
Jiang Handan was not familiar with the strength of the United States, and he didn't know what the dragoon regiment meant, but he knew the horror of the Liaodong Army.
"The Han Empire is nothing more than that, if 'I just want to farm well' he comes in person, maybe I will still be worried."
Adams ignored Jiang Handzan's advice and led 4,000 light cavalry to attack, of which 1,000 were special troop troops - dragoons.
"This group of Goryeo people who are like a wreck, how would they know that this is also a good opportunity to collect data on the Han Empire's legions. As long as you have the data of the various arms of the Han Empire, then the Han Empire is not to be afraid. ”
The United States does not have its own historical military generals, and it is basically the player in power, and Adams, as the staff of the second lord Marshall, in addition to aiding the United States, also has the meaning of testing the reality of the Han Empire.
Once Chutian was allowed to unify the Han Empire, no one knew whether the Han Empire would organize a fleet expedition to the Americas.
The vanguard of the Liaodong Army was Gongsun Kang's Wuhuan cavalry.
Gongsun Kang went all the way south, less than 100 miles away from the city of Pyongyang, Xijing.
At the speed of cavalry, a day and a night can be used to march under the city.
The cities of Uiju and Anju were lost, and the defenders of the Goryeo Kingdom along the way had no fighting spirit and abandoned the cities one after another and retreated to Xijing.
Therefore, Gongsun Kang went south from Anzhou City with almost no obstacles.
"Capturing Xijing is equivalent to occupying half of the country of Goryeo, and maybe, my father-in-law Sun Kang can also get the merit of destroying the country."
