Chapter 953: Scarlet Yizhou

In the city of Yiju, when the reinforcements of the Goryeo Kingdom were defeated, Geng Yi and Zhu Neng returned to the division and continued to besiege the city with Le Yi, and the siege lasted for twenty days!

The walls of Uiju Fortress were finally unable to support the continuous bombardment of large counterweight trebuchets, and one section of the wall collapsed!

The iron-clad Yanjia warrior broke through the city wall with a shield halberd and fought hand-to-hand with the Goryeo defenders in the gap in the city wall!

"Plug the gap!"

The Goryeo garrison general Yoon Jong personally led a group of Bebu soldiers to fight for the collapsed gap.

Zu Dashou, Zang Ba, and Badun rushed to the front, wielding knives and slashing!

In order to survive, Badon can only fight hard in the big war and get as many achievements as possible!

Bebu Ban is one of the special arms of the Goryeo Kingdom, and the archers fired a volley at the front of the squad that rushed to the front, and half of the dozens of Yan armor soldiers who followed Bandun's side were killed!

Attacking with a stiff head, the saber in his hand slashed into the shoulder of a Bewuban archer, and with great force, he cut it off!

The Bewuban archer screamed, but Badun showed no mercy and slashed him again!

On the battlefield, it's just you who lives or dies!

Fight fiercely and fight with the surviving Yanjia to fight among the soldiers of the Goryeo Kingdom!

Zang Ba held a spear in his hand, picked up several Goryeo soldiers, and rushed all the way.

The number of soldiers of the Liaodong Army and the Goryeo Army who fell into the gap in the city wall was as high as thousands, and the corpses were piled up all over the gap!

Under the command of generals such as Badun and Zang Ba, Yanjia and Liaodong infantry entered the city.

Despite fighting hard, Yin Qian was still broken through the defensive line.

The defenders of Goryeo retreated into the city, and the clashing of weapons sounded in the city.

The 80,000 Goryeo defenders, in the battle that lasted for 20 days, killed 50,000 people, and the remaining 30,000 were blocked in the city.

The offensive of the Liaodong Army became more and more ferocious, and a thousand Guanning iron cavalry crossed the ruins under the leadership of Zu Dashou.

A salvo of three-eyed firebolts, accompanied by white gunsmoke, fell the corpses of Goryeo soldiers in the streets and alleys of Uiju Fortress, staining Uiju Fortress with blood.

Goryeo player Jin Ziwu was hit by two arrows, and dozens of players were surrounded by the fourth-order heavy infantry of Liaodong.

The fierce street fighting in the city of Yiju plunged Kim into despair.

In the big war at the level of annihilation, the two sides were red-eyed, and the battle situation was extremely tragic.

The Liaodong army was ordered by Chutian to be the first batch of soldiers and horses to conquer the Goryeo Kingdom, and if they could not even capture the city of Uiju, which was the northern gateway, then they would not be able to explain to the Xia Wangfu.

Thousands of Goryeo soldiers were killed in street battles, 2,000 Goryeo players who followed Kim Zi-mu were killed, and his familiar companions were shot with arrows, and Kim Zi-mu finally collapsed.

"I will surrender, don't kill me!"

The pressure brought by the Liaodong Army was unprecedented, and Jin Ziwu was finally afraid of death and chose to surrender to the terrible Liaodong Army.

Street fighting continued in the city, with horses galloping, swords chopping and blood splattering onto the wooden houses.

After some Goryeo soldiers were breached in the outer city, they also surrendered to the Liaodong Army, just like Jin Ziwu.

Yin Qian led tens of thousands of Goryeo defenders to retreat to the inner city, and Le Yi personally entered the city, demolished the houses in the inner city, and obtained stones and timber as materials for attacking the inner city.

"General, let me lead Yan Jia and the first to attack the inner city!"

Ju Yi, the general who is currently in the Yanjia Legion, volunteered.

Ju Yi is certainly arrogant, but in front of a commander of Le Yi's level, he must also be respectful.

"In three days, take the inner city."

"Yes!"

Ju Yi holds a strong crossbow and storms the inner city!

The Liaodong Army's attack on the inner city of Yizhou lasted for two days, and the defender of Yizhou City, Yin Qiang, was shot and killed by the strong crossbow of the first deceased soldier, the defenders surrendered, and the inner city was broken!

The fortress of Uiju City, which was built by the Goryeo Kingdom with great efforts, was erected with 300 bed crossbows, but it was besieged by the Liaodong army for 22 days and still fell.

Of the 80,000 defenders, 60,000 were killed, 200 bed crossbows were destroyed, the main general Yin Qian was killed, 20,000 were captured, and almost no one could break through smoothly.

When the Battle of Uiju Fortress ended, the city of Uiju, with a population of 500,000, was almost razed to the ground, and a fifty-meter-wide gap appeared in the strong city wall.

As for the civilians of Uiju City, about 200,000 of them fled before the start of the war, and 100,000 of the 300,000 civilians who remained in the city died in the offensive and defensive battles and street battles.

Originally, Uiju Castle had been upgraded to a large city, but after a war, it was directly downgraded to a medium-sized city.

The brutal siege was devastating to the entire city.

"Defeated reinforcements, captured cities, and killed a total of 60,000 people."

The limping Sun Guan came to report the loss to Le Yi.

"An army of 300,000 lost 60,000 soldiers and horses in two battles in Yiju City alone......"

Le Yi counted it.

As many as 170,000 Goryeo soldiers and horses were beheaded and captured by the Liaodong army.

Goryeo had to use crowd tactics to resist the Liaodong Army commanded by Le Yi, and the Liaodong Army also suffered considerable losses.

Zu Dashou escorted a group of Goryeo troops: "General, how should these people be handled?" ”

"Let them act as guides and march to Anzhou."

Le Yi held a topographical map of Goryeo in his hand.

To the south of Uiju Fortress is Anju Fortress, then Seogyong, which is Pyongyang Fortress, and further south is Kaegyong, the capital of Goryeo.

"Li Sung-gui of Goryeo has set up multiple lines of defense in an attempt to fortify layer by layer and consume our troops."

Le Yi has already seen Li Chenggui's defense.

Yi Sung-gye recruited a million-strong army in Goryeo and set up three lines of defense, Uiju Fortress and Anju Fortress, two large cities, and the third line of defense was the giant city of Seogyong.

Le Yi needed to break through three lines of defense in order to besiege Kaegyong, the capital of Goryeo.

This is related to the topography of Goryeo, the plain terrain along the coast is easier to march, and the main cities of Goryeo are on the coast of the Yellow Sea.

"The Fubo army will besiege Kaijing in advance and prevent Kaijing from supporting Xijing. In half a year, at least three lines of defense must be breached. ”

Le Yi put away the map and commanded the remaining 240,000 Liaodong Army to march towards Anzhou City.

Jiang Handan and other Goryeo generals led 300,000 Goryeo troops to support the defeat of Uiju Fortress and retreated to Anju Fortress to hold on.

When the northern stronghold of Yiju City was captured by the Liaodong Army, the pressure on the Goryeo Kingdom was even greater, and the people were restless, and some villages in the north had taken the initiative to surrender to the Liaodong Army.

"Yin Qian actually died in battle......"

When Lee Sung-gye and Lee Min-chul heard that Uiju had been broken, the main general Yoon Jong had been killed, and that 170,000 of the 400,000 Goryeo troops gathered in the north had been killed, and only 230,000 soldiers and horses remained.

There were still 600,000 troops in the southern part of Goryeo.

However, Li Chenggui needed to face not only the Liaodong Army, but also the 300,000 Fubo Army.

"We are not Chu Zimou's opponent at all, he only used 600,000 troops, we have a million soldiers and horses, but 170,000 were killed in a month. If this continues, it will not take half a year, and the country will be destroyed. ”

Standing on the huge wall of Kaegyong, the king of Goryeo, and looking out at the sea, the Daifuku ship of the Fubo army reappeared in the sea near Kaegyong.

This time, there are 1,000 ships and 300,000 soldiers and horses!

"Great King, the ships of the Han Empire have landed on the north shore!"

"The Han Empire is really unpopular, and even the sailors want to go ashore to fight, and they don't put me Li Chenggui in their eyes! Rectify the soldiers and horses, I will personally go out of the city to break it! ”

As the most capable military general in Goryeo, Yi Sung-gye single-handedly created the 500-year-old Lee Joseon Dynasty, and has his own ability and arrogance.

In Li Chenggui's view, the Han Empire's sailors waited for the shore to besiege Kaijing, which was simply an insult to him.

In order to guard against the Fubo army, Li Chenggui set up earthen walls and arrow towers along the coast, defended them with 300,000 professional soldiers, and requisitioned 200,000 strong men from the Goryeo Kingdom, totaling 500,000, and exerted all his national strength.

Li Minzhe's face was worried: "It seems that we can only rely on the strength of other lords to break the situation, otherwise we will be occupied by the Han Empire." ”

Li Chenggui looked at Li Minzhe: "The reinforcements you said, when will they arrive?" At what cost? ”

"Soon they will arrive, and the price we pay is to pay an annual tribute of 2,000,000 taels of silver to the United States, and to allow the United States to garrison 50,000 troops in Kaijing."

"2 million taels of silver per year, such a price, is too much."

"Let's get through it first."

Lee Min Chul also hesitated.

Goryeo either became a province of the Han Empire or a semi-colony of the United States, making it difficult for it to become independent.

"This king is wise and powerful, but he has to suffer from this nest of gas!"

Li Chenggui, as the military general with the strongest military ability in the Goryeo Kingdom, was played by the Han Empire and the United States because of his poor national strength, and he had to choose to take sides.

The Fubo army used more than 1,000 large and small ships to patrol the waters near Kaijing, and Zheng Zhilong, a great pirate in the late Ming Dynasty, wore an eye patch and held a goose feather knife in his hand, fierce and vicious.

Yu Yunwen, the general of the Fubo Army, glanced at Zheng Zhilong with his spare eyes: "General Zheng, your eyes are injured?" ”

Zheng Zhilong pulled the blindfold away: "I heard what Yiren said, wearing an eyepatch makes it even more stylish, which makes the thieves frightened." ”

“……”

Yu Yunwen, as the supervisor of the Fubo Army, also deliberately cared about Zheng Zhilong's condition, but he didn't expect Zheng Zhilong to deliberately wear an eye patch to cover his right eye.

But to be honest, after Zheng Zhilong wore an eye patch, he really had the momentum of a big pirate leader.

"What a bunch of weirdos......"

Xu Sheng found that almost all the senior generals of the Fubo Army were a group of strange people, Zheng He was a eunuch, Zheng Zhilong was a pirate, Yu Yunwen was a scholar, and Li Sunchen was a general.

"I'll lead the boat and attack the enemy!"

Zheng Zhilong commanded 5,000 soldiers and horses, with 300 small boats, braved the rain of arrows from the arrow tower on the shore to launch an attack!

Zheng Zhilong was still wearing an eye patch, waving a big knife in his hand, stepping on the bow of the boat with one foot and holding a shield with the other, with a fierce momentum!

The Liaodong Army defeated the Goryeo Army in the northern part of Goryeo, killing and capturing 170,000 people, and the Fubo Army did not want to sit idly by, but actively attacked, wanting to capture Kaijing in advance before the Liaodong Army marched to Kaijing, and made a contribution to the destruction of the country.

Zheng He acquiesced to Zheng Zhilong's dispatch of troops, and looked at the arrow tower set up on the shore: "If the country is destroyed twice in ten years, I am afraid that the young men of the Goryeo Kingdom will be killed and wounded, and even if they want to restore the country, they will be powerless." In time, it will be assimilated. ”
