Chapter 962: Fubo's Army Retreats

"The secret gate is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so I won't attack it for the time being. The cavalry army attacked Peony Peak, the Yanjia army attacked the ordinary gate and Qixing gate in the west of the city, the Wuhuan army drove the troops of the Goryeo Kingdom to feint and attack the Lumen and Hancarpet two gates in the south, and the Guanning army served as a reserve, leaving the two gates of Datong and Changqing in the east, which could not be besieged to death. ”

Le Yi marked the targets of each general on the map.

The Liaodong Army concentrated its forces to attack the west of the city and the Peony Peak in the north of the city, feinted to attack the south of the city, and left the east of the city.

The second gate on the east side faces the Datong River and is difficult to attack.

"Command!"

After receiving the order, the generals immediately went down to prepare.

300,000 Liaodong troops pressed the city, except for the Datong River in the east, the other directions were full of black Liaodong troops.

It was obvious that the Liaodong Army wanted to drive the defenders of Xijing to Kaijing.

The main force of the Goryeo defenders stayed in the city, and set up muskets, bows and arrows, fire, oil, wood and stone on the city wall, while the Goryeo general Kwon Li led 40,000 defenders to garrison the Peony Peak outside the city, set up a horse fence, and responded with danger.

Peony Peak is located in the north of the city, condescending, once attacked, the cavalry obtained a terrain bonus, like a tiger descending the mountain, driving straight in.

Therefore, Le Yi was very keenly aware of the threat of the defenders of Peony Peak, so he ordered Zhu Neng and Geng Yi to attack Peony Peak.

The carriages of the Liaodong Army arrived one after another, and craftsmen began to manufacture large siege equipment such as Xiangyang cannons, siege towers, ladder cars, and crash vehicles.

Geng Yi and Zhu Neng's Youzhou Assault Cavalry were deployed under the Peony Peak, preparing to attack the Goryeo Army stationed at the Peony Peak.

Over Xijing, dark clouds are thick, and the north wind is howling.

The whole giant city was slaughtered, and the air was suffocating.

In the eyes of the Goryeo army, the Liaodong Army was almost invincible.

Ordinary gate, the fire dragon battle flag of the dragoon regiment hunts in the wind, a team of Indian and West African archers is stationed on the city wall, and there are tribal wizards accompanying them, which can strengthen the combat power of the primitive tribal troops.

Although the United States does not have its own heroes, it can capture alive or buy a group of wizards with gold, and buy troops from other civilizations, such as West African archers.

In addition to the 10,000 soldiers of the United States, the Goryeo general Kim Zidian led 20,000 troops and guarded the ordinary gate with Adams.

Jin Zidian said to Adams: "The reinforcements you have sent are too few, only 10,000, and on the other side, the strength of the Heavenly Empire is claimed to be one million. ”

"We are attacking the ancient Mayan kingdom, and it takes a lot of troops to conquer the rainforest, otherwise, how can we only come with 10,000 people? 30,000 people have already traveled to Kaijing. The patrolling heavy infantry should be the Yan armor soldiers of the Han Empire. As far as is known, only Le Yi has this special unit. ”

Adams was observing the military momentum of the Liaodong Army on the opposite side.

He saw the sharp armor.

Yan Jia, like Qin Ruishi, Wei Wushu, Qi Jizhen, and Zhao Bianqi, all belonged to the special arms of the Warring States Period.

Under the protection of Ju Yi, Le Yi explored the fortifications of the western capital of Goryeo in the west of the city.

The ordinary gate has twelve giant arrow towers and seventy-two large bed crossbows.

It is the second largest city in Goryeo.

"Dismantle all fortifications."

Le Yi can build a large counterweight trebuchet to destroy fortifications such as arrow towers and castle towers.

Le Yi even considered whether to borrow the Hongyi cannon from Chutian to bombard Xijing.

It's just that Chutian transferred the Hongyi cannon to attack Wancheng in Nanyang County.

A Xiangyang cannon, a large siege tower, and a ladder truck stood in the west of the city, and the defenders of the Goryeo Kingdom also realized that the west of the city was the main direction of attack of the Liaodong Army, so Jiang Handan gathered 120,000 defenders and reserves in the west of the city.

The dragoon regiment was also in the west of the city.

The width of the western part of the city was longer, which was suitable for a simultaneous attack by 100,000 soldiers and horses.

The royal castle of Goryeo was opened, and Lee Sung-gye received the Kyushu Island military generals Tachibana Michiyuki and Shimazu Yoshihiro sent by the Toei shogunate.

Under the instructions of Oda Nobunaga, 50,000 soldiers from Kyushu Island came to the aid of Goryeo and intervened in the battlefield of Goryeo.

The United States sent 30,000 soldiers and horses to Kaijing.

Li Chenggui, Zheng Zhilong and other generals of the Fubo Army fought in the north of Kaijing, and the arrival of this group of new troops in Kaijing was undoubtedly the key to turning defeat into victory for Li Chenggui.

Lee Min-chul, who served as the prime minister of Goryeo, introduced the incoming reinforcements to Lee Sung-gye: "Tachibana Daoxue, known as Ghost Daoxue, the head of the Tachibana family." Shimazu Yoshihiro, known as Oni Shimazu, is one of the four brothers of the Shimazu family. They are almost the strongest generals on the island of Kyushu. And the general of the United States, Brand. ”

"If you help the king to hold the kingdom of Goryeo, then the king will keep his promise to pay an annual tribute of 1,200,000 taels of silver to the United States and 800,000 taels of silver to the Dongying shogunate, and allow the two kingdoms to station a small number of troops in Kaegyong and open up trade."

Li Chenggui is promising the incoming reinforcements.

His face twitched, because the conditions proposed by the United States and the Toei shogunate were very harsh.

However, in order to maintain the exclusive status of the king of Goryeo, he had to choose to ask for help from other civilizations.

"I hope that the King will keep your promise, and the Fire Dragon Legion of the United States will not disappoint you."

Brand of the United States had a gloomy voice.

Li Minzhe introduced to Li Chenggui in a low voice: "The United States also has many legions, and the Fire Dragon Legion is the second legion, second only to the first legion. ”

After Li Chenggui heard this, he said to Brand: "Why didn't your First Legion come? ”

Brand replied, "The Federator is conquering the Mayan kingdom, and our Fire Dragon Legion only has 30,000 men, which is enough. ”

"If the Goryeo Kingdom is finally defeated, then there is no need for this king to fulfill his promise."

Li Chenggui still thinks that the United States underestimated the Liaodong Army.

The Han Empire only sent the Liaodong Army and the Fubo Army to attack Goryeo, and the main force of the Central Plains did not bother to attack Goryeo at all.

"You won't be disappointed."

The Second Army of the United States, the Fire Dragon Legion, supported 10,000 people in Xijing and 30,000 in Kaijing, which was bound to win.

10,000 people came from the Tachibana family on the island of Kyushu, Toei, with Tachibana apricot leaves as the battle flag, and 40,000 people from the Shimazu family came with the Marucross as the battle flag.

Li Chenggui received 80,000 fresh troops, so he immediately counterattacked the landing Fubo army.

The great pirate Zheng Zhilong of the Fubo Army led about 100,000 sailors to land, occupied the earthen walls and arrow towers by the sea, and was blocked by 300,000 Goryeo troops.

After Zheng Zhilong came ashore, the commander value dropped by 10 points, so he couldn't defeat Li Chenggui.

The supervising army Yu Yunwen was capable of land warfare, so he commanded an army of 100,000 and could not hold on to Li Chenggui.

There is really a stalemate, and the Fubo army can still withdraw to the sea.

"Generals, the southeast section of the earthen wall was attacked by the enemy, and there were Dongying warriors and firearms among the enemy troops, and General Xu Sheng was injured in the battle!"

Yu Yunwen and Zheng Zhilong joined forces to repel the army of the Goryeo general Zhang Wan, but Xu Sheng, who was in charge of defending the earthen wall in the southeastern section, was wounded by the fire dragon army of the United States, and the earthen wall was lost.

"I'll go rescue Xu Sheng!"

Zheng Zhilong and Xu Sheng established the Fubo Legion together and have a close relationship so far, at this time I heard that Xu Sheng was injured and the Fire Dragon Legion captured the earthen wall in the southeast section, so he immediately went to support Xu Sheng.

"After rescuing Xu Sheng, abandon the earthen wall and withdraw to the ship."

Although he was unable to obtain accurate information, Yu Yunwen realized that the counterattack of the Goryeo army was not trivial.

The best strategy is to retreat to the sea.

100,000 sailors were killed in the attack of the combined forces of Li Chenggui, Brand, Tachibana Michiyuki, and Shimazu Yoshihiro, and 20,000 were killed, and Xu Sheng was seriously wounded.

Because of Yu Yunwen's decisive decision, the remaining sailors boarded the ship and withdrew to the sea, and the Goryeo army was helpless.

The importance of sea supremacy began to rise.

Even if the Fubo army could not defeat the coalition army after coming ashore, the coalition army would not be able to inflict heavy damage on the Fubo army.

Xu Sheng, who was seriously injured, was rescued by Zheng Zhilong, and his armor showed signs of being shot by a musket. If it weren't for the armor equipped by the generals of the Xia Army from the hands of famous artists, perhaps Xu Sheng would have died in battle.

"The Shenji Battalion, similar to the Shenji Battalion, they are Westerners......"

Xu Sheng gasped, covered his wounds, and reported to coach Zheng He.

"I received news from my side that the Xia Wangfu ordered us to return to Xuzhou, and the Jiangdong Naval Division attacked from the sea and attacked the coast of Xuzhou. It's a pity that our Fubo Army is about to abandon the battlefield of Goryeo. ”

Zheng He didn't care about the victory or defeat on the battlefield of Goryeo.

"Jiangdong Navy Division crosses the sea to attack Xuzhou!?"

Yu Yunwen and Zheng Zhilong were shocked by Jiang Dongjun's generosity.

The Jiangdong Navy Division was no longer satisfied with occupying the Yangtze River, but went out of the mouth of the Yangtze River, all the way north, and attacked the counties of Xuzhou!

Xuzhou, as the hinterland, has not been at war for many years, but this time, King Wu Tongque avoided the difficult Yue Fei, went north along the coast, and invaded Xuzhou and Qingzhou!

As the only corps that could fight naval battles with the Jiangdong Naval Division, the Fubo Army received an order from the Xia Wangfu to return to Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

The military orders of the Xia Wangfu could not be disobeyed.

Yu Yunwen groaned: "There is only the Liaodong Army on the battlefield of Goryeo, I'm afraid it ......"

Zheng He said: "The Mo Nan Army and the Mo North Army will intervene in the battlefield of Goryeo. ”
