Chapter 967: Breaking Xijing!
Xijing of Goryeo, Zhu Neng and Geng Yi attacked Peony Peak, and Kwon Li, the defender of Goryeo, was good at defending the mountain city, and belonged to the military generals of the mountain city defense type, providing a lot of bonuses to the mountain city defenders.
Zhu Neng slashed hundreds of defenders, like a bloody god of war, which made the defenders of Goryeo fearful.
Youzhou suddenly dismounted and followed Zhu Neng to attack the mountain city, attacking fiercely and demolishing the first fence.
Zhu Neng has been attacking the mountain city of Peony Peak for several days in a row, and every time he goes out to fight, he must be killed by 100 people, and for three consecutive days, Zhu Neng has killed 500 enemies.
The fortifications of the Peony Peak Mountain City were complete, and thousands of arrows were fired at once, and the Assault Cavalry Corps of the Liaodong Army lost 6,000 people in the three-day battle, but it was still unable to take the Peony Peak Mountain City.
Geng Yi ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, but Zhu Neng was unwilling to withdraw.
"Who is Quan Li? Why is the mountain town he defended so difficult to fight? ”
Geng Yi captures alive a group of Goryeo soldiers who are holding on to Peony Peak, and learns that the defender will be Kwon Li, the general of the Goryeo Kingdom, and asks the players who accompany the army.
Players know the abilities of many generals.
The player of the Liaodong Army replied: "This person is good at defending mountain cities, belongs to the guards, and is clumsy in field battles. ”
"It turned out to be a guard, and a mountain-type guard."
Geng Yi knew that the terrain advantage could make up for the gap between famous generals, and it was the most headache to encounter this type of military general who defended the city.
An excellent defender even pinned down tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of troops with thousands of soldiers and horses.
"Tonight's attack will surely be destroyed!"
Zhu Neng took off his helmet, took the cowhide bladder, and poured water into his dry throat.
Zhu Neng attacked the mountain fortress for three consecutive days, and although he single-handedly killed five hundred and hit the morale of the Goryeo defenders, he was not satisfied with the progress.
The Liaodong Army had received news that the 200,000-strong allied forces of Lee Sung-gye, the king of Goryeo, and Brand, Tachibana Michiyuki, and Shimazu Yoshihiro, were heading north.
If the 200,000 reinforcements were allowed to converge with the 300,000 defenders in Xijing, the Liaodong Army would be attacked on both sides.
"Rest for the time being, and fight again tomorrow."
Geng Yi was worried that Zhu Neng, the first fierce general of the Liaodong Army, would be damaged, and Geng Yi would not let Zhu Neng fight until Zhu Neng's physical strength was completely restored.
Le Yi's Yanjia Legion mainly attacked the west of the city, and dozens of Xiangyang cannons and siege towers continuously attacked the west city wall of Xijing!
10,000 Yanjia served as the main force, and 90,000 Liaodong soldiers attacked the west city wall for three days under the leadership of Ju Yi, the first general, and the corpses piled up under the west city wall were like mountains.
On the western city wall, the musketeers and dragoons of the Fire Dragon Legion used firearms to shoot, and even the Yanjia soldiers could break through the defense and be killed by firearms.
On the third day, the Liaodong Army lost more than 20,000 casualties and was unable to capture the West City Gate.
Le Yi stood under the city, facing the twelve-meter-high giant city wall, and he couldn't break the city as soon as possible.
If he is given enough time, maybe Le Yi can take the city, but Li Chenggui has not left Le Yi for long.
"General, the two generals Gongsun Kang and Zu Dashou have broken through the blanket gate of Nancheng!"
"Really?"
Le Yi learned that Gongsun Kang and Zu Dashou teamed up to break through Nancheng, and he couldn't believe the news.
The main force of the Liaodong Army could not attack the western city, but the southern city gate in charge of the feint attack was suddenly broken, making Le Yi doubt his ability.
Gongsun Kang is a cavalry general, Zu Dashou is a defending general, and Le Yi is a siege general, as a result, Le Yi has not yet broken through the West City, and Gongsun Kang and Zu Dashou are the generals who are responsible for the feint attack along the way, but they will break through the South City faster.
"Immediately storm the West City again and contain the defenders for the South City!"
Despite the big surprise, Le Yi immediately sent troops to attack Xicheng!
In the southern city, Gongsun Kang and Zu Dashou entered the city, and the Guanning iron cavalry assaulted, and the three-eyed fire gun was powerful, shooting and killing the Goryeo pikemen who were blocking the front.
Once the Wuhuan cavalry and Liaodong cavalry entered the city, there was no majestic city wall to block them, and in the battlefield of Goryeo, the cavalry of the Liaodong Army was almost invincible!
Gongsun Kang and Zu Dashou couldn't imagine that they could break through the South City Gate.
Originally, Le Yi gave them the task of driving the troops of the Goryeo Kingdom to feint and attack the southern city gate.
The Goryeo troops were demoralized and had little combat effectiveness, so there was not much pressure on the southern city gate.
Jiang Handan, the general who defended Xijing, saw the reality of Le Yi's deployment, concentrated his main forces to defend Xicheng, and neglected Nancheng.
However, among Gongsun Kang's army, there are a group of Wuhuan people who want to make meritorious contributions. They were in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, from a feint attack to a strong attack, desperately attacking the city, before Jiang Handan had time to readjust his troops, he was caught off guard and broke through the south gate, allowing the Liaodong cavalry to drive straight in.
The unexpected changes on both the offensive and defensive sides gave the Liaodong army an advantage.
"Nancheng is broken, and Xijing is no longer able to defend!"
Jiang Handan and a group of Goryeo generals learned that the south gate was lost, and the Liaodong army commander drove straight in, knowing that it was impossible to defend.
"How did you arm the defense?!"
Adams of the United States was pale, and the gates of the city were breached, leaving him with little danger to defend.
Jiang Handan also realized that there was no way to fight in the streets: "There are no enemy troops in Dongcheng, so you can cross the Datong River and flee to Wangcheng." But it means that Xijing ...... need to be abandoned"
"What's the point of giving up, it's all about saving your life! My Fire Dragon Legion has lost 3,000 people and can't fight anymore! ”
Adams immediately led the members of the Fire Dragon Legion to retreat to the eastern city.
"I am ashamed of the king, and I can only live with this city."
Kang Hanzan struggled, drew his sword, and prepared to lead the defenders of Goryeo in a fierce street battle.
Adams's Fire Dragon Legion withdrew from the western city wall, and the Goryeo general Jin fled from his own point, and soon Yanjia captured the West City Gate, and the Yanjia soldiers who wore sharp armor entered the city through the West City Gate!
"What a stupid man, take him away."
Adams asked the dragoons to forcibly take Jiang Handzan.
There are not many generals in Goryeo who have some ability.
Xijing was in chaos, black smoke was billowing out, and the red-eyed Wuhuan cavalry galloped through the city, swinging their sabers and slashing the Goryeo soldiers on the streets.
"There is a fire in the city, it seems that Le Yi has broken through the city wall, let's fight Peony Peak again!"
Geng Yi and Zhu Neng originally planned to rest and recuperate and fight again tomorrow, but suddenly saw the wolf smoke rising in Xijing City, so they immediately organized troops and attacked Peony Peak again!
The defenders of the Goryeo Kingdom at Peony Peak also saw the beacon fire in the city, and the army's heart was shaken.
The city gate was broken, Xijing was lost, and this team of soldiers and horses defending Peony Peak no longer made any sense.
"Breakout!"
The defender Quan Li led the defenders of the mountain city and broke through in the direction of the Datong River.
The Liaodong army came to attack, and the mountain was densely packed, all of them were Liaodong soldiers!
Two armies of soldiers and horses are fighting at the bottom of the mountain, and there are stray arrows, weapons, and shields everywhere!
Zhu Neng's force broke out again in the melee, and the spear burst out, killing dozens of people in a row!
"No!"
Kwon was unwilling, but there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him.
Defending the mountain city, he could block the offensive of the famous generals and break through the field battle, but he was crushed by Geng Yi and Zhu Neng.
Dozens of arrows shot at Quan Li, and the armor-piercing arrows pierced through the armor, Quan Li's eyes widened, and he stood on the ground with his saber to support his body.
"A small country and a widow have no power to return to heaven after all......"
Kwon fell to the ground and died in battle.
With the fall of Seogyeong, 60,000 of the 300,000 Goryeo defenders were killed and 50,000 captured, and the remaining soldiers crossed the Taedong River and fled south.
Half of the country of Goryeo was captured by the Liaodong Army!
"Build a wall, and the whole city will be under martial law."
Le Yi captured Xijing because of an unexpected situation, and after taking Xijing, he immediately rectified the defense of Xijing to prevent the army of Goryeo King Li Sung-gye from counterattacking.
"General, an order came from the Xia Wangfu, and the two armies of the Monan and Mobei grasslands were ordered to intervene in the battlefield of Goryeo, and after we occupied Xijing, we immediately opened the teleportation array to open up the Goryeo Kingdom and Mobei!"
"Turn on the teleportation array."
The Liaodong Army came to the stone tablet of the City Lord's Mansion, opened the teleportation array, and incorporated Xijing of Goryeo into its territory.
Soon, Prince Yan led a group of Mongolian cavalry out of Xijing's teleportation array.
There was also the military general Di Qing beside Prince Yan, both of whom were wrapped in wolf skins around their waists and had long bows on their backs.
"I didn't expect Xijing to be captured by you so quickly."
Prince Yan arrived from Hala and Lin in Mobei, because he has lived in the grassland for a long time, he has a bit of a bold character on the prairie.
"How many cavalry from the Mobei Army will arrive in Goryeo?"
Le Yi asked directly.
"Fifty thousand."
"Only fifty thousand?"
Le Yi was a little incredulous, because the number of war horses raised in the pastures of Mobei exceeded one million, and the population of Mobei was managed by Temujin, and there must be millions.
With the mobilization rate of nomadic tribes, the number of nomadic tribes exceeded 100,000.
Prince Yan shrugged: "The order I received is to lead 50,000 Mongolian cavalry to the Mongolian battlefield. ”
In fact, there is one thing that Prince Yan did not tell Le Yiming, that is, Chu Tian secretly transferred 100,000 Mongolian cavalry to Longxi County.
As for why Chu Tian transferred the 100,000 Mongolian cavalry in Mobei, Prince Yan had no right to ask, and there was no need to ask, he just carried out the order.
"Li Mu's Monan army should have 150,000 Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Mongolian cavalry."
