Chapter 144: Three Days of Great War, Defeat Goguryeo! (400 subscriptions)

Hua Mulan led 2,500 Eastern Han cavalry into the Goguryeo army, and the eight-zhang long horse lance opened the spear of the Goguryeo cavalry and pierced the opponent's body!

The Zhangba lance was originally very heavy, but Mulan could easily swing it, and along the way, three or four Goguryeo cavalrymen were directly swept off their horses by her lance.

Di Qing led another cavalry to attack in a roundabout way, he wore a bronze mask, a cape, like a demon, and the big sword slashed at the opponent's shoulder, almost removing the opponent's entire shoulder!

Pang Juan led the heavy infantry, and Zhou Yafu led the Xiliu Battalion as the main force, killing and wounding hundreds of Goguryeo soldiers.

An arrow pierced the throat of a Goguryeo general, and sharp iron arrows pierced from the back of the opponent's neck.

Li Guang used a longbow to snipe Goguryeo generals one after another, bringing a lot of military exploits to Chutian.

"You're you again?"

Li Guang met Xue Rengui in the midst of the chaos, and the two generals who were good at using longbows met again.

In addition to using a longbow, Xue Rengui was equally fierce in close combat, and a Fang Tian halberd or stabbed or chopped, and one Goguryeo soldier after another was killed.

"You're not bad, see who kills more!"

Xue Rengui intends to compete with Li Guang.

"Good!"

Li Guang directly took out three arrows and shot them at the same time, killing three Goguryeo soldiers in a row!

He subconsciously reached into the quiver to get the arrow, but found that the quiver was empty.

Thirty arrows, all used up.

Li Guang had no choice but to pull out his saber, and like Xue Rengui, he smashed into the Goguryeo army and slashed at close range!

The allied army of the Goryeo lords of Eok Wende held the rear, but the Goguryeo army of Gao Yeonshou and Gao Huizhen could not defend the front and was broken through by the Tang army.

The steel torrent composed of the Xuanjia cavalry crushed by, and the Goguryeo army was completely defeated, relying on the mountain to hold on.

Goguryeo was so numerous that it was extremely difficult to encircle and suppress them all.

The decisive battle began in the early morning, and the two sides fought until the sun was waning, and the Tang army still could not eat more than one million Goguryeo and Goryeo coalition troops.

The battle between the two sides continued, the men and horses were tired, and the Tang knife had already rolled its blades, so the attack stopped.

Goguryeo was littered with corpses, and corpses were piled up all over the river.

The remaining Goguryeo army huddled on the slopes and foothills of the mountains, stretching for dozens of miles, and was completely surrounded by the Tang army.

Hua Mulan obeyed Chutian's orders and led the cavalry to capture a group of Goguryeo heavy cavalry, of which the number of Goguryeo heavy cavalry captured by Xia Cheng was as many as 27.

The soldiers of the other lords also captured a group of Goguryeo prisoners.

In addition to the 27 fourth-order Goguryeo heavy cavalry, there were 92 Goguryeo light cavalry, 315 Goguryeo infantry, and archers.

These captives will become cannon fodder or coolies in Summer City, mining in the mining grounds of Shangbi Town.

The first-order Goguryeo light infantry, because it was not a class of troops in the Eastern Han Dynasty, could deduct half of their salary, and only needed to pay 500 copper coins per month.

Theoretically, these Goguryeo soldiers did not have to pay pensions after they died.

It is undoubtedly a good choice to use troops from other civilizations as cannon fodder.

The disadvantage is that the loyalty is not high, and it is not possible to recruit normally.

If it weren't for the national war, the vast majority of the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty would not have access to the troops of other civilizations.

Chu Tian checked his military merits, and the current total military merits are 7,215 points, excluding the 2,200 military merits used, there are still 5,015 military merits.

Military merit was the most direct reward, and the captured Goguryeo soldiers and their equipment were considered indirect rewards.

Using the war horses and equipment of the Goguryeo heavy cavalry, Chutian could form a heavy cavalry squad after he returned.

Or, use this Goguryeo heavy cavalry first.

The Goguryeo heavy cavalry is a fourth-order army, and it is still quite tempting to halve it.

Later, after there was a fourth-level cavalry battalion, Chutian confiscated their horses and equipment and formed a team of Xuzhou heavy cavalry.

Xueyue led the players of the Wolf Guild to hunt down the Goguryeo soldiers, and she also won a lot of military exploits and equipment.

Mingguan, the lord of Liaodong, Gongziwen, the lord of Dongjun, and Prince Yan, the lord of Liaoxi, also made gains.

The captured Goguryeo soldiers alone amounted to tens of thousands.

"Our lord is injured!"

A team of Bingzhou cavalry carried the wounded lord Dahu back to the camp, and the big tiger had several arrows stuck in his armor, and there was a knife mark on the front of the armor.

"Doctor!"

Chutian's Second Legion brought a group of doctors, from senior doctors to low-level doctors, who hurried to help Dahu stop the bleeding.

The lord of Jiuyuan County, a state of annexation, did not have a historical general, but he personally led his troops into the enemy formation, resulting in being shot by enemy arrows.

"Ahem......"

The big tiger coughed violently, and there was blood.

This was the first injured lord of the Second Legion of Chutian.

"His life is not in danger. It's just that I can't move anymore for ten days and half a month. ”

The senior physician stepped in and used medicinal herbs to help the tiger stop the bleeding.

Dahu lay in the camp and said to Chu Tian: "Commander, my Bingzhou cavalry will be handed over to you for the time being, and you can use it." As long as you can defeat the enemy, it doesn't matter if you are wiped out. ”

"The Goguryeo army has been completely surrounded by the Tang army and us, and it is estimated that in a few days, the Goguryeo army will surrender. When you get better, let's go to Anshi Castle together. ”

The Second Legion wounded one lord in this battle, and most of the other lords were of lower force and commanded only in the rear.

The losses of freelancers are heavier, and they have to charge into battle in person, and some freelancers die in battle.

Chu Tian learned about the contest between Li Guang and Xue Rengui, and in comparison, it seemed that Xue Rengui was superior, because Xue Rengui had a Fang Tian painting halberd, and the efficiency of killing the enemy was higher.

After a night's rest, the Tang army continued to attack the Goguryeo army the next day.

Chutian personally beat the drums, Hua Mulan charged with a horse lance, and Zhou Yafu and Pang Juan led the infantry to advance with the Tang army.

The cavalry generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty lords, Li Chengliang, Zu Dashou, Di Qing, Hua Mulan and others, and the cavalry generals of the Tang Army, Ashina Sheer, Xue Wanche, and Qibi He Li, led the cavalry to attack the Goguryeo army repeatedly.

The Goguryeo army had Gao Yanshou, Gao Huizhen, and Eulji Wende, and in the face of the famous generals of the Eastern Han District and the Tang Army, they could only do their best to defend.

The Goguryeo army had lost all morale after being flanked the day before, and they retreated to the foothills and slopes of the mountains, desperately resisting.

The battle lasted another day, and some of the ring-headed knives and Tang knives were cut to the blades again, and Li Shimin saw that it was too late to fight again, so Mingjin withdrew his troops.

The morale of the Goguryeo army had dropped almost to the extreme.

On the third day, the Tang army continued to attack, and Mulan waved her horse lance and was already numb.

The Tang Army and the Eastern Han Dynasty Coalition Army besieged Goguryeo and the Goryeo Coalition Army for three consecutive days, if Hua Mulan did not have a gold-level horse lance in her hand, maybe the horse lance would have been scrapped because of killing the enemy.

Li Shimin seemed to have made up his mind to destroy the encircled Goguryeo army as soon as possible, divided the Tang army into several groups, and attacked the Goguryeo army day and night.

The emperor also has a temper, and if he can't attack for a long time, he will attack at any cost.

In order to cooperate with Li Shimin, Chutian divided the Second Army into two groups, one group of people resting and one group of people attacking.

At night, the Goguryeo army still did not surrender, so Li Shimin ordered to light torches and continue the attack.

The shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth, and even the defenders of Anshi City were terrified.

It is clear that the Tang army and the Goguryeo army supporting Anseong City are fighting fiercely.

The earth-shattering shouts lasted for three days, meaning that the two sides had been fighting for three days, so much so that there was a fierce battle at night.

The city lord of Anshi was worried, and he sensed that something was wrong from the shouting of killing.

Goguryeo had one million reinforcements, far outnumbering the Tang army, and if the Goguryeo army wins, it should be easy to wipe out the Tang army. Now that the two sides have been fighting for three days without more than that, the possibility of victory for the Don army is even greater. The Tang army was small in number, and if it wanted to completely defeat the Goguryeo army, it could not be done in a few days.

The Goguryeo army was blocked on a higher hill and fought until the fourth day, when the Goguryeo army and the Goryeo lords were physically and mentally exhausted.

The Tang army was in the initiative and could take turns attacking the Goguryeo army, and the surrounded Goguryeo army did not get a good night's sleep from top to bottom.

On the fourth day, the Tang army shot a letter of surrender to the Goguryeo army before the attack, and if the Goguryeo army surrendered, it would be possible to avoid the blame for the past.

This was Tang Taizong's decision, and it was difficult for the lords of the Eastern Han District to influence Li Shimin's decision.

Moreover, Chu Tian, Ming Guan, Prince Yan and others did not want to continue fighting.

Goguryeo's reinforcements had 1.5 million people, and even if they were at a disadvantage, the Tang army could only kill more than 100,000 Goguryeo soldiers and horses and capture more than 100,000 prisoners after attacking for three days and three nights.

If you kill it again, it is estimated that all Tang knives will be curled.

The two Goguryeo generals, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen, recruited the Goryeo lords: "The Tang army is persuaded to surrender, and we have decided to surrender to the Heavenly Khan." ”

Choi Jae-sun, the lord of Goryeo, was a little unwilling: "We still have an army of one million, as well as half a month's stockpile, if we continue to fight, we can consume the soldiers of the Tang Army and their bows, arrows, swords and guns!" Once the Tang army suffered too many losses, it simply did not have the ability to besiege Anshi City! ”

"The two of us have made up our minds. You're right, if we continue to resist, we may be able to inflict huge losses on the Tang army, but refusing to surrender also means that we will be killed by Li Shimin in the end. ”

Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen did not follow Choi Jae-sun's orders, they considered their own interests.

If you surrender early, you can still live, and stubborn resistance will only lead to the soldiers being buried alive.

"Abominable ......"

In order to resist the Tang army and the Eastern Han coalition army, Cui Zaishan fought hard and sent Eokzhi Wende, and at the same time brought more than half of the 2,000 people in battle. He killed hundreds of Tang and Eastern Han troops.

However, all the efforts made by the Goryeo lords were in vain because of the voluntary surrender of the Goguryeo generals.

"Ding! The Goguryeo generals Gao Yeonsu and Gao Hye-jin were defeated by the Tang army and decided to surrender, and in order to protect the lords of the Goryeo Kingdom, all the besieged Goryeo lords would be sent off the battlefield before surrendering. ”

Of the fifty Goryeo lords in the Goryeo Kingdom in the army of Gao Yeonsu and Gao Hye-jin, four of the lords were killed, and the remaining forty-six lords were forcibly teleported out of the battlefield.

"Whew-"

Many Goryeo lords breathed a sigh of relief. They were attacked by the Tang army for three days, and every moment seemed to be living in torment, and it may be a good thing that they could escape from the battlefield of the national war at this time.

"I'm not reconciled!"

Choi Jae-sun and his soldiers and horses were sent off the battlefield and returned to Euiju Fortress on the northern border of Goryeo.

The other Goryeo lords also returned to their respective cities.

With the return of the first forty-six lords of Goryeo, the whole world was in a stir.

In the national war between the Eastern Han Dynasty and Goryeo, Goryeo has already lost half of it!

The three-month war is only the eighth day!

"The Tang army is too fierce."

In order to avoid being blamed by other Goryeo players, the surviving lords of the Goryeo Kingdom could only put the blame on the Tang army led by Li Shimin. And what they say is not necessarily true.

"Anshi City is still holding on, and the battle to defend the city is the most important thing, and the Tang Army may not be able to break through Anshi City."

All Goryeo lords and freelancers can only hope for the defenders of Anseong.

Historically, the reinforcements were not Li Shimin's opponents at all, and what really stopped Li Shimin was the strong Anshi City and the stubborn resistance of Anshi City.

"Although there is some shame in this national war, can you really take down Anshi City? In the future, I will use your contradictions to defeat each of you. ”

Choi Jae-sun counted the losses, 2,000 Goryeo soldiers and horses, only 812 people remained, fortunately the historical military general Eulzhi Wende was not killed, he could have the capital to march into Liaodong. Because he fought hard with the Tang army, he ranked first in the Goryeo camp in the national war rankings.

The Goryeo lord was teleported away, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen surrendered to the Tang army, and the Tang army accepted the surrender of Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen.

What happened next was what to do with the more than a million soldiers.

"All the lords who participated in the war were assigned slaves according to their contribution to the war."

Li Shimin generously rewarded some of the captured Goguryeo soldiers to the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty as a reward.

The ancient captives were just trophies in themselves. The Lord will be in a good mood and may free them, and in a bad mood will make them slaves or even buried alive.

Because of his meritorious service, Chutian divided 500 Goguryeo slaves, of which 50 were Goguryeo heavy cavalry, plus the Goguryeo soldiers captured in the three-day battle, Chutian had thousands of Goguryeo soldiers and horses, and about 100 Goguryeo heavy cavalry.

Even if he rewarded a number of Goguryeo slaves to the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Li Shimin still had a large number of Goguryeo captives in his hands.

Li Shimin relocated his captives above the rank of minor leader to Guannai, and then released ordinary Goguryeo soldiers. The Goguryeo soldiers shouted long live and left.

The Tang army still had to besiege the city of Anshi, and it was simply not able to feed so many prisoners.

In order to show the majesty of the Heavenly Khan, Li Shimin suppressed the rebellious nobles of Goguryeo, forcibly moved them to Guannai for sinicization, and then released civilian soldiers to win the hearts of the people.

As for whether it is correct or not, Chu Tian and they don't care.

And Li Shimin really did this in history, even if Chutian stopped it, it was impossible to change history, because this was just a copy of the national war.

"The next step is to officially besiege Anshi Castle."

Chu Tian counted the booty obtained, and one hundred Goguryeo heavy cavalry were considered unexpected trophies.

Chutian's generals were now physically and mentally exhausted, and Hua Mulan came back from outside on a war horse, and the battle lasted for three days, and her body could barely support it.

"Lord, after returning to Xia City, how to formally form a heavy cavalry ......?"

Hua Mulan dismounted and was reporting to Chu Tian, but her eyes were dark and she fell into Chu Tian's arms.
