Chapter 816: Three Days Without Sealing the Knife
On the one hand, there are cannons, flintlock pistols, and extremely vicious bandits, and on the other hand, there are Goryeo natives who have enjoyed many years of peace, and they have to boast about the natives of Goryeo for several days when they hunt on weekdays.
The battle took place in a short time, even much shorter than Li Kui expected.
After suffering a setback, the Goryeo army began to retreat with a curse.
That's right, it's scolding. The Koreans seem to be furious, and the Song people do not fight in the way they are familiar with.
Li Kui even saw countless Goryeo soldiers in the clairvoyant mirror, because of anger, the shape of their faces became angry and distorted, combined with the memories of his previous life, the almost exaggerated mouth shape of the Goryeo soldiers, and came to a conclusion, these Goryeo people are scolding, it is likely to be - oh, Xiba!
Of course, tens of thousands of people scolding people will definitely not be so neat.
But Li Kui's limited understanding of Goryeo culture, let alone Goryeo language, made him sure that this is what these Goryeo people meant.
There are many kinds of defeats in the world.
Elite troops, retreating in an orderly manner, and making the opponent dare not pursue.
The rabble, panicking, can't wait for their father and mother to give them two more legs.
Only the Koreans, who retreated, cursed as if their dignity had been offended by how unfair fate was.
The Koreans felt offended, but even more so for Li Kui's men. Chao Gai pointed to the chaotic enemy army in front of him, and asked Wu Yong puzzled: "I feel that I have been scolded!" ”
Wu Yong deeply agreed, nodded and said, "Brother is right, these people are really weird!" ”
"Brothers, don't wait for the cavalry, kill it!"
"Brother, without the commander's order, ...... of us?"
"The marshal asked me to judge the battlefield and make decisions independently, and if something happens, I will naturally accept the guilt!"
……
Immediately, Chaogai ordered the herald, waved the battle flag, and rushed towards the Goryeo army.
When they first landed, Chao Gai and everyone in Liangshan were a little worried. The Goryeo people were not easy to deal with, and the military advisor Wu Yong told them that the million-strong army of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty hated the Yalu River and suffered countless casualties.
Although, the biggest reason for the defeat of the Sui Dynasty was not how strong the Goryeo people were. But the estrangement between the Sui Dynasty and the family became deeper and deeper, leading to their own battles, and even boasting to each other, coupled with bad luck, the coaches died one after another, and a series of problems led to the final result. But even so, the Sui army was like a bamboo at the beginning, and it was advancing vigorously. When he was about to win completely, he was defeated.
But it is an indisputable fact that Goryeo relied on a small state to defend against the powerful Sui Dynasty.
Chao Gai doesn't know the past of that year, but Wu Yong, a scholar, will definitely not be a stranger.
After Wu Yong told Chao Gai, this martial artist who had never seen the world gasped, so that he was a little timid and trembling when arranging troops on the battlefield. After all, they were not besieging an ordinary Goryeo city-state, but the capital of Goryeo, which had a population of more than 100,000. After all, it is the capital of a country, and if there is no elite, it really can't be justified.
I'm afraid that I will accidentally be plotted by the Koreans.
But when he saw the actual combat strength of the Korean people and the ridiculous character, he turned around with a little distrust and glanced at his good brother Wu Yong, thinking that Wu Yong was lying to him.
The 5,000 men and horses of Liangshan are not strong in combat, and they are about the same as ordinary forbidden troops in the Song army, and they are stronger than the Xiang army, but they are also limited. and the Western Army, the Fourth Army, and the Feilian Army, the absolute main force of the Great Song Dynasty today, cannot be compared at all.
But even so, the battle went smoothly.
Equipment advantage, confidence advantage, and strong background, after rushing into the Goryeo military formation, Chao Gai has a feeling of extreme ease, like a fierce snakehead fish, after rushing into the small fish, the surrounding miscellaneous fish fled in a panic.
Chao Gai, who became more and more courageous in battle, fought and found that the Goryeo soldiers in front of him were not moving.
Only then did they realize that they were almost advancing to the city wall.
"What should I do, sir?"
When Chao Gai encounters something he can't figure out, he always asks Wu Yong. Compared with force, Wu Yong was not even enough to lift his shoes, but compared to his brain, they seemed to be upside down.
Wu Yong was embarrassed, they only had 5,000 men and horses, and how many could they survive when they rushed into a city with a population of more than 100,000 or even more?
But there is an opportunity in front of them, and it is very important for them to control the city gates. Controlling the gates and not attacking them is not a good choice for them. The best option is for them to rush into the city without any scruples, and then Li Kui's army behind them will follow closely and smash Huanglong all the way.
But in this way, the casualties are large.
Especially the military discipline of Liangshan's soldiers and horses is really not very good, don't look at the soldiers, look at the leaders. Most of these people's identities in the Great Song Dynasty are thieves.
Even if the capital of Goryeo is just a small capital, the richness of the city is definitely not worse than that of Jeju City, right?
Wu felt in his heart that if the men and horses of Liangshan rushed into Jeju, even if Jeju lost the ability to resist, the soldiers who entered the city would not be able to find it in the blink of an eye.
Either rob in the store, or drag the woman of a good family into the yard......
Except for Chao Gai and a few big leaders' pro-army, I'm afraid that 500 people can get together with 5,000 people is already good.
Wu Yong hesitated and said, "Do you want to control the city gate first?" ”
Chao Gai raised his eyes and shook his head helplessly: "It's late!" ”
Obviously, there are tens of thousands of people outside the city, I really don't know what the king of Goryeo in the city thinks, so he closed the city gate, and even heard a loud noise, and lowered the jack gate.
This scene made Chao Gai also speechless, the thieves are a group of people who are very capable dogs, but compared to the Koreans, he feels that there is still a big gap in the level.
"The commander has an order, the whole army encircles and suppresses the Goryeo soldiers outside the city, and does not attack the city."
"The commander has an order, the whole army encircles and suppresses the Goryeo soldiers outside the city, and does not attack the city."
As Li Kui's pro-army appeared on the battlefield and read out Li Kui's military order, the originally chaotic outside the city became orderly. The Goryeo soldiers in their black uniforms began to flee around the city walls, scolding as they ran, mainly scolding themselves for being ruthless and stabbing in the back.
On one side is the impactful Song army, wearing a red military uniform, which is extremely conspicuous.
By the time Li Kui came ashore, the battle had come to an end, not that it had come to an end, but that the Koreans were tired of running and scolding, and decided to surrender.
The captured Goryeo general was escorted to Li Kui, who looked at it fixedly, smiled, and was an acquaintance.
"Lord Liu, you still have the talent to lead soldiers!"
Liu Chengzhi said in frustration: "My Liu family fought on the battlefield for the king, but I didn't expect that the court would take advantage of the departure of my Liu family's pro-army to launch an attack on my Liu family." My lord, my Liu family has been wronged! ”
Some of the Goryeo troops who were stranded outside the city were really the army of the Liu family. Goryeo was an aristocratic fiefdom, and the Liu family had a large fiefdom, so it naturally needed a large number of private troops. Although this army was disdained in the Great Song Dynasty, it was already considered a big force in Goryeo, with 3,000 people.
But Liu Chengzhi, a Goryeo official, went to shout grievances to the Song people, which really made Li Kui speechless.
"Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"
"I want to live!"
In Liu Chengzhi's view, this problem is simply superfluous. Who wants to die!
Liu Chengzhi looked up at Li Kui with a blank eye, but he knelt on the ground in a proper manner, as if he was expecting a reward from his master. Li Kui didn't disappoint him, but said lightly: "There are seven or eight thousand prisoners in our army, are you sure these people can be used for me?" ”
Liu Chengzhi's face changed dramatically, and then he said fiercely: "If you can't use it for adults, let them die?" Ask the adults to give the villains a chance and let the villains convince them. ”
Li Kui waved his hand and said, "Give him his own weapon and keep an eye on him!" ”
Even Zhang Zhu was shocked that Li Kui was such a close trust of an outsider, staring at Liu Chengzhi's back, and persuaded in a low voice: "Renjie, this person is credible?" ”
"Not credible."
Li Kui's answer made Zhang Zhi panic, staggered, turned around, and said angrily: "Renjie, military affairs, why do you know that this person is not credible, but still give them weapons." You know, just an hour ago, our people were still fighting with him, catching and killing each other. If they have bad intentions, our army will not be in danger! ”
For this seemingly thorny question, Li Kui explained it very easily: "I don't know him, and I don't believe in the credibility of Liu Chengzhi's loyalty at all." But I need him. ”
"You ......" Zhang Zhu looked horrified.
Li Kui laughed and said, "Attacking Goryeo, my people will inevitably have blood on their hands, but I don't want them and the people of this land to become unquenchable hatred." Therefore, I need to cultivate a Goryeo traitor, and when Yoo Seung-ji picks up the knife and kills his own people, the fear in his heart will make him unable to stop killing. And his actions will inevitably make the Koreans hate him more than they hate me. And that's what I'm looking forward to, it's better for the Koreans to hate the Koreans than to hate us. ”
"Even, I will give him at least half of the captured Goryeo soldiers, let him grow stronger, and let him have ambitions."
Zhang Zhu lowered his head in fear, he finally understood Li Kui's thoughts, and asked Liu Chengzhi to carry the anger of the Goryeo, and then wait until this thing was useless, and then kill him.
Such a bottomless practice, Zhang Zhu will definitely not be able to do it, and he doesn't even dare to think about it.
It's like a girl who meets Jun Shulang in a dream, wakes up soft, her cheeks are crimson, and she feels impure.
The same is true of Zhang Zhu, he finally found out that the cold-blooded person of the superior is so terrifying.
But is Li Kui really cold-blooded?
Zhang Zhu said that he couldn't say it.
In less than the middle of the night, Liu Chengzhi, who was covered in blood, came to Li Kui alone, bowed down in front of Li Kui and said respectfully: "My lord, the villain cleaned up the thorns for the adults, killed more than 4,000 stubborn people, and asked the adults to surrender." ”
He performed the bow of the knees, and it was also the attitude that a subordinate should have. In order to hide his complicated and sad eyes, Liu Chengzhi deliberately buried his head very low.
"How many are alive?"
"About three thousand five hundred."
"Leave it to the general, go to the quartermaster to get the weapon. Later your soldiers and horses, as the vanguard army. ”
Liu Chengzhi was stunned, then lay on the ground, and choked up: "I am willing to die for the adult, Liu Chengzhi swears that the Liu family will never betray the adult." ”
"Get up and go back to your army. Prepare your army, feed and drink your soldiers, and make them combat in the shortest possible time, and in two days you will be the first to attack the city. ”
Still going to siege the city?
Can he afford the casualties of the siege?
Maybe 10,000 or 20,000 people will not be able to fill the ravine that opens the wall of the capital. This kind of battle is simply to make yourself think!
But he couldn't retreat, since he slaughtered his compatriots, he had no way back, not even the Liu family.
Liu Chengzhi didn't understand why the Song people didn't seize the great opportunity before, but waited for two days before launching an attack on the city. Most of the city walls of Kaijing are not as good as the city walls of Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, but after all, it is the capital, and it is not much worse than the ordinary state capital.
If such a tall wall were attacked, how many casualties would it take?
But he didn't even have time to say the suggestion, and he was sent away by Li Kui.
Li Kui didn't plan to take this city in Kaijing in one go, he thought more about military training.
Except for him, Li Yun, Luda and some of the generals in the army, the total number of people is not more than 3,000 people and horses are the elite of the army, the others are all Zhuang Ding of the Li family, Liangshan bandits, and recruited recruits. Not to mention siege, even field combat experience is not available. The only thing that can be fortunate is that whether it is a Liangshan bandit or a Li family Zhuang Ding, they have had nearly a year of rigorous training. But in battlefield combat, it is really difficult to kill all sides on the battlefield by training alone.
Not everyone is Wu Qi, Wu Qi can use the 50,000 Wei troops who have not been on the battlefield to break the 500,000 Qin army, which is a miracle and cannot be replicated at all.
Even if Li Kui had sharper firearms, he was not sure that he would be able to defeat this army when he first entered the battlefield.
Two days later, Yoo Seung-ji was still wearing Goryeo-style armor, and the soldiers behind him were also wearing Goryeo-style uniforms. In order to distinguish them from the Goryeo army in the city, they put a white cloth on their heads, which made them look dejected and unlucky.
The flag was changed and replaced with the red and white flag of the Great Song Dynasty, indicating that he had rebelled.
Kaijing, which has been calm for two days, has actually become a mess.
Not fighting does not mean that the Goryeo people have a way to deal with the Song people.
I heard that the Song people were preparing to attack the city, and they were even more like a great enemy.
The city was full of Goryeo soldiers, facing such a dense military formation. Li Kui pondered that he was not yin, and it was really a little unreasonable.
"Grenadier, hide in the ladder, take the trumpet as an order, prepare to attack!"
"After the musketeers disrupt the deployment of the city, they will be based on the battlefield to suppress."
The grenade, a weapon with low power, insufficient explosive lethality, and lack long-range attack capabilities, has never been truly abandoned since the day of its invention. Even in the era when high-end weapons are flying all over the sky.
Boom Boom Boom –
Waves of qi crashed into the city walls and fell outward, and the Koreans were once again frustrated in areas of battle that they were unfamiliar with. In less than an hour, the walls near the sea were completely lost.
However, when they found that after the attacking Song army occupied the city wall, they did not move, and their confidence was immediately boosted, and they shouted: "The Song people can't fight, and they don't dare to enter the city at all." ”
And at this time, Li Kui held his loudspeaker and shouted as if he had threatened the bandit leader back then: "The king of Goryeo will go out of the city and surrender, if not, he will not seal the sword for three days after breaking the city." ”
The Goryeo people decided that the Song people could not fight, how could they be frightened, and shouted: "If you have the ability, you can enter the city-"
Encountering such an unrepentant lord, Li Kui could only obey the wishes of the Goryeo people and ordered the army to prepare to advance. When the buildings near the city walls were cleared, the jack gate at the head of the city was blown up. The artillery and pikemen have already gone to the city, and the entire Kaijing city has fallen into the coverage of the Song people.
Li Kui stood at the head of the city and ordered: "Enter the city, and the knife will not be sealed for three days." ”
Chao Gai asked Wu Yong hesitantly: "Brother Xian, what do you mean by not sealing the knife for three days?" ”
This belongs to the powerful textual interpretation of the Eastern civilization, such as Chao Gai, probably thinking that he could fight for three days or something. But Wu Yong understood what Li Kui meant at the first time, and looked at Chao Gai with a pale face, not knowing how to explain.
Chao Gai is soft-hearted.
After gathering Liangshanbo at the beginning, he ordered his subordinates to plunder the merchants, and also ordered many times: "You are not allowed to harm people's lives." ”
From this point of view, he is soft-hearted, and it is not bad that he cannot become a qualified superior.
Wu Yong was worried that Chao Gai would listen to his explanation, which would make Chao Gai hate Li Kui. And in Li Kui, Wu Yong saw him have the opportunity to apply what he had learned, which was enough to make him conflicted.
Chao Gai said anxiously: "Brother Xian, what do you mean, say it quickly!" ”
Wu Yong was urged, and he knew that he couldn't dodge, because if he didn't say it, it would be even more disadvantageous for Liangshan's people. Compared with Chao Gai's dissatisfaction with Li Kui, it is just speculation, at most, Chao Gai and others are left out in the cold. But Li Kui was dissatisfied with Liang Shan, that is, destruction.
Wu Yong said hoarsely: "Three days without sealing the knife means killing for three days after breaking the city, and ordering the slaughter of all the men in the city." That is, the slaughter of the city mentioned in the book. This is unkind to heaven and earth......"
"Brother Xian, didn't you say: Non-Huaxia people are all beasts? It's not human, so it doesn't matter if you kill it. Chao Gai was puzzled: "But what if you kill a man, what should a woman do?" ”
Wu looked at Chao Gai strangely, and said in his heart: "You don't like women, why do you want to do so much?" ”
