Chapter 898: Eliminate Goryeo
The army of the lord of Goryeo, Yi Sung-gye, stormed a city garrisoned by Byzantine soldiers, and although there were only 10,000 defenders in the city, the battle was extremely difficult.
After paying the price of 30,000 people, Li Chenggui took the city.
Soon, however, the city of Goryeo was surrounded by the army of the Byzantine Emperor.
The army of Goryeo was locked in a fierce battle like never before.
"This national war is too difficult for us to ......"
Goryeo player Lee Min Chul was besieged by the army of the Byzantine Empire, and only then did he realize how difficult this national war was.
The army of the Byzantine emperor was at least 100,000, while the army of Goryeo was only 70,000 left, and even if it was to recruit low-level troops, it would take a certain amount of time.
The most feared were the two elite guards of the Byzantine Emperor.
The difficulty of defeating the Byzantine Emperor is not much different from that of defeating the King of Kings of the Persian Empire.
If you look at the diversity of civilized troops, the Byzantine Empire has more complete troops than ancient Persia.
The Byzantine Empire had ironclad heavy cavalry that ancient Persia did not have.
Players in Goryeo know that the Byzantine Empire, also known as Eastern Rome, was once strong.
Catherina's general, Harald's Varangian Guard, came from the Byzantine Empire.
Lee Min Chol saw the Varangian guards armed with battle axes from the army of the Byzantine Empire.
The Byzantine Empire's armies on the battlefields of the war had already surpassed their peak.
I am afraid that the army of the Byzantine Empire in history could not reach such a military strength.
This is also the reason why Lee Min Chol, a player in Goryeo, is terrified when he sees the army of the Byzantine Empire.
Upon his arrival, the Byzantine Emperor immediately ordered a storming of the city occupied by the lords of Goryeo, and the Byzantine soldiers scrambled to climb the walls!
The trebuchets of the Byzantine Empire bombarded the city walls, and the boulders fell one by one, and the walls trembled!
Li Chenggui was also unlucky, and after capturing a city in the territory of the Byzantine Empire, he was soon attacked by the Byzantine Emperor.
Yi Sung-gye's Goryeo army came from the Goryeo Army formed at Myeongguan, and in the face of the fierce offensive of the Byzantine army, the defenders of Goryeo were constantly killed by random arrows.
The Byzantine Empire's army stormed Li Chenggui for six or seven consecutive days, and the casualties on both sides were quite heavy.
The Goryeo defenders, with their towering walls, continued to throw stones at the bottom of the city, killing the infantry of the Byzantine Empire.
The Byzantine emperor was never able to make a breakthrough, and he couldn't help frowning: "Use the Varangian guard." ”
Six thousand Varangian guards were mixed in with the ferocious siege troops, among which the Viking berserkers strode with great axes!
Ignoring the casualties of their companions, the Viking berserkers braved the rain of arrows and stones to storm the city!
The Varangian Guards were the most elite infantry in the Byzantine Empire, and when the Viking berserkers of the Varangian Guards stormed the walls, they immediately entered a state of rage and slaughtered all sides!
The elite troops of the Goryeo Kingdom, Bebu Ban, were slaughtered by the Varangian Guards!
Although they are also high-level troops, the two legions are not opponents of the same level at all!
The Varangian Guards were like killing machines, sweeping thousands of defenders across the city walls, and the commander of the Bebuban, Ijun, was killed by the Varangian Guards with a giant axe!
……
When Li Chenggui was besieged by the Byzantine Empire, Chutian's army was resting and stockpiling solid shells for the Hongyi cannons.
"The legendary king of the Byzantine Empire sent a large army to besiege Li Chenggui. Li Chenggui was defeated and had already given up the occupied city! ”
When the Han army basically recovered its strength, the news of Li Chenggui's defeat soon came.
This was expected by Chu Tian, because according to the captured Byzantine reconnaissance cavalry, to the south was the territory of the Byzantine Emperor Basil II.
Basil II was the founder of the Varangian Guard of the Byzantine Empire, and his Varangian Guard, with 6,000 men, was stronger than Catherine's 500 Varangian Guard.
Li Chenggui was no match for Basil II.
"Li Chenggui rebuilt the Goryeo Kingdom, jumping up and down in front of me all day long, although he can't be killed in this national war, but in order to avoid long nights and dreams, he must be eliminated as soon as possible."
Chu Tian personally led the army out of the city.
Unable to defend the city, Yi Sung-gye's Goryeo army was forced to withdraw from the city, and the Byzantine army was still in hot pursuit.
"Could it be that there is such a clear gap between our Goryeo Kingdom and these powerful civilizations?"
Li Chenggui used the city wall to kill tens of thousands of people in the Byzantine Empire, but he was still defeated.
Now there are less than 30,000 men left in the Goryeo army.
The Goryeo army was almost all wounded.
Li Chenggui broke away from the rule of the Han Empire, and was originally full of confidence, thinking that he could become a generation of Ming monarchs, but when he arrived at the battlefield of the national war, he was defeated by the emperor of the Byzantine Empire, which frustrated Li Chenggui's confidence.
"Losing the national war is nothing, as long as we are in the main world, we can keep the Goryeo Kingdom and enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth!"
Lee Min Chol, a player in Goryeo, has a different idea from Lee Sung-gye.
He knew that he was no match for the Han Empire, and his only purpose was to keep the Goryeo Kingdom from being annexed by the Han Empire.
Li Chenggui listened to the words of the alien in front of him who was worthy of his trust, and then he cheered up a little: "You are right, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail." Since I am the king of Goryeo, I must lead my subjects to keep a corner of the land. ”
"The Han Empire seems to be powerful, but because its territory is too large, once it falls into turmoil, it is difficult to unify without decades or centuries of war. The fact that our generation does not have a chance to capture Liaodong does not mean that there will be no chance in the future. ”
Li Minzhe is familiar with the history of ancient China and knows that if you are together, you will be divided for a long time.
"Yes, yes!"
Li Chenggui's eyes were bright, and he seemed to have regained his confidence.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the Goryeo army, and Li Chenggui subconsciously looked at the horizon, and a black torrent appeared!
War horses gallop, dragon flag hunting!
A huge cavalry, attacking Li Chenggui's rout head-on!
"Get on your horse and fight!"
Li Chenggui's face twitched, almost in a panicked tone, and he ordered the cavalry under his command to urgently mount their horses.
"Could it be that the Byzantine Empire has ambushed a cavalry force in front?!"
Lee Min Cheol was also very panicked at this time.
He imagined the Byzantine emperor Basil II too terrifyingly, and thought that he had been ambushed by the Byzantines on all sides.
"No, it's not the Byzantine Empire, it's the cavalry of the Han Empire!"
When Lee Min Chul slightly recognized the identity of the enemy, he panicked even more.
If it is said that the defeat to the Byzantine Empire is nothing for the Goryeo Kingdom.
But Goryeo had just announced its independence from the Han Empire for a few months, and it was defeated by the suzerain, which was a sudden slap in the face.
The Goryeo Kingdom has not completely recovered from the shadow of the Liaodong Army, and this time, the Central Plains cavalry that replaced the Liaodong Army came to kill!
The remnants of the 30,000 Goryeo soldiers fell into despair, and they faced the cavalry of the Han army, which was full of physical strength and morale!
Tens of thousands of iron cavalry as the vanguard, swept in!
The cavalry of the Goryeo Army had already dismounted, but it was too late to adjust the formation, Xue Rengui rushed to the front and beheaded Jiang Handzan, the general of the Goryeo Kingdom!
Jiang Handan's body turned into a white light and disappeared in place.
When a military general dies, he will be directly teleported to the battlefield of the national war!
The iron cavalry was rampant, and the army of 30,000 Goryeo was defeated!
Yang Dayan led a team of Northern Wei tiger-striped cavalry, rampage all the way, and killed Li Chenggui directly!
"Wait for the danger of others!"
Li Chenggui's army was already demoralized, and he was unable to resist the assault of the Iron Cavalry, and he was defeated one after another, and he also recognized the army of the Han Empire, and was greatly saddened and indignant.
As a suzerain, in the face of vassal states, it also adopts the tactics of sneak attacks!
The Iron Cavalry Army formed by Chutian fell into the ground, and immediately launched a surprise attack after the Goryeo army was defeated by the Byzantine Emperor.
With a bang, the saber in Li Chenggui's hand was picked up by Yang Dayan's horse lance, and the next moment, Li Chenggui, the king of Goryeo, was killed by Yang Dayan, and the heart-rending pain made Li Chenggui have a splitting headache!
Although the national war can be resurrected, there will still be a strong pain when you are stabbed by a weapon.
Li Chenggui opened his eyes, sweating profusely and panting violently, he had returned to the Goryeo Kingdom in the Overworld.
This also means that in the first month of the national war, the Goryeo Kingdom has been eliminated.
"The military strength of the suzerain's country is so strong. This cavalry should be the cavalry of King Xia of the Han Empire, what should I do? ”
Li Chenggui's confidence was shaken.
He found that he was a little arrogant, and he dared to betray the Han Empire.
King Xia of the Han Empire defeated the Liaodong Army, which was feared by the Goryeo Kingdom.
It is not the first time that Li Sung-gye has fought with Chutian, and in the past national wars, the two sides actually fought for a short time, and at that time, Lee Sung-gye had not betrayed Choi Jae-sun, the first lord of Goryeo.
Soon, the entire Goryeo legion, except for a few captured soldiers, all the other soldiers and horses were eliminated and returned to the Overworld.
……
"It's still comfortable to bully an opponent of this level in the Goryeo Kingdom."
Chu Tian reined in his war horse and was very happy when he saw the battlefield full of corpses.
The Goryeo Kingdom jumped left and right, which made Chu Tian very unhappy, and at this time, he easily destroyed the Goryeo Army and eliminated it, which was regarded as charging a little interest.
A total of 19,831 feats were obtained.
Lee Sung-gye did not rank high among all the lords, and the number of points he could gain for destroying the 30,000 Goryeo army was also limited.
This time, Chutian's purpose was not Li Chenggui, but ......
"Defeat the Byzantine Emperor and capture three cities, and you can recruit an army of 200,000."
Chu Tian's goal is to destroy the legendary king of Byzantium and include the three cities in the south!
The city occupied by the Arab Empire to the north, located deep in the desert, Chutian temporarily avoided confrontation with it, and instead changed his target to the Byzantine Empire.
"Basil II of Byzantium, with the Varangian Guard at its peak, and ......"
Chutian captured about a thousand undetermined Goryeo soldiers.
Originally, the soldiers of the Goryeo Kingdom only needed to die in battle to return to the Overworld, so it was difficult to capture.
However, the Goryeo Kingdom was conquered by the Liaodong Army for several years, so a group of local soldiers were afraid of the Han Empire and surrendered on their own initiative.
This made Chu Tian finally have more than a thousand servant troops.
"Li Chenggui is the founder of Li Dynasty, and his ability is also very human, the Byzantine Emperor lost a lot in order to recover the city occupied by Li Chenggui, and most of his army will return to the main city to replenish, we can meet the ...... halfway"
Chu Tian couldn't help but be excited when he thought that after defeating Darius I, he would face off against a Byzantine emperor.
