Li Yan looked down at the battle situation below and compared it with the combat effectiveness of the rural army.
The charge formation of three hundred Jurchen cavalry can be accomplished by the current cavalry battalion of the rural army, but they do not have such superb archery skills.
The first wave of arrows directly suppressed the Goryeo defenders, which the Sharpshooter Battalion could also do, but also did not have such superb riding skills.
As for the fact that Wanyan Loushi shot and killed the city-defending general Cui Hongzai with one arrow, Hua Rong's bowstring skills are getting stronger and stronger now, so it is no big deal.
If up to this point, it basically conforms to the characteristics of the cavalry outside the Great Wall who "conquer and capture" more than "rely on riding and shooting", then the next attack on the Great Wall is the real tyranny of the Jurchen, a fishing and hunting nation.
As mentioned before, the purpose of the Great Wall is mainly to target cavalry. The Ding Great Wall built by Goryeo naturally cannot be made of high-cost blue brick walls, but is a gravel wall made of local materials, but it can still capture the Jurchens
The war horses were blocked outside.
It's a pity it's useless.
When the three hundred cavalrymen arrived in front of the city wall, they hung their crude bows and arrows on the saddles and dismounted in unison.
Wanyan Loushi was the first to rush forward. He first tore Cui Hongzai's corpse into two halves after it fell under the wall. Then he laughed loudly in the blood and rushed towards the city wall with rapid strides. He climbed up quickly using his hands and feet.
Viewed from a high altitude, this scene is particularly shocking. The Jurchens who had been riding and shooting unparalleled just now left their war horses and transformed into special attack warriors who climbed mountains and entered water as if they were walking on the ground. In just a moment, three hundred figures scurried away.
Going up, "going up and down the cliffs is like flying, and you don't need a boat to cross the river, but you can cross it on a floating horse."
"Die--"
The Korean defenders on the city wall were still in chaos because of the general's death. They saw ferocious enemies jumping up one after another, raising their butcher knives and slashing at them.
"Ah - ah -"
It was like a group of ferocious tigers entering the flock of sheep, killing the Koreans so much that they abandoned their armor and trampled on each other. The screams continued and spread rapidly.
In the previous field battles in the Jiashen Campaign, the Jurchens suffered more than 30 casualties, causing more than half of the Korean army to suffer casualties. I am afraid there will not be so many casualties now.
Because Goryeo was covered by the Great Wall, it seemed safe, but invisibly it weakened the fighting spirit. Seeing that the number of Jurchens was small, they began to underestimate the enemy. As a result, they were stunned when they met.
As Wanyan Loushi said when he went into battle, it only took three hundred men to completely paralyze the defense of Dingzhou Wall.
"As Wanyanbu said, we are really strong. Goryeo is basically a lamb, and the Khitans can also step on us!"
Such a brilliant achievement caused other tribes to become commotion, and some people couldn't help but scream, venting their joy and fighting spirit.
The Jurchens in history gradually discovered how capable they were in fighting during the process of ravaging Goryeo, and established unrivaled confidence and momentum.
But the Wanyan clan, headed by Wanyan Aguda, looked very calm and took it for granted.
Under their influence, the major tribes became quieter and became more united under the leadership of the Wanyan tribe.
"The generals are brave and united, and the soldiers are well-equipped and powerful. The Jurchens of this period are truly a nation born for fighting."
Li Yan sighed, and then looked at the Jurchens' strategic layout.
If the Jurchens are so powerful that they rely solely on their frontal combat power, it is not enough. After all, their numbers are too small.
But if the leader of such a strong army is well-versed in strategy, it would be completely different.
When Wanyan Aguda rode his horse and led the remaining Jurchens into Goryeo territory through the opened city gate, the battle was over.
In a short period of time, more than a thousand Goryeo soldiers were killed or injured. On the other hand, the Jurchens led by Wanyan Loushi only had about twenty injured soldiers, none of whom were killed, and each of them had at least four or five beheadings in their hands.
This is because they dispersed the killings and completely tore apart the Korean defenders. At this time, except for those who saw that the situation was not good and fled early, the rest abandoned their helmets and armor and lay on the ground in surrender, trembling.
The Jurchens' cruel eyes fell on them, and they looked ready to kill the prisoners, but no one dared to take action.
Because the chief, Wanyan Agu, refused to let them fight, he came up with a very familiar method of disposal: "Cut off their hands and drive them out!"
The Jurchens immediately began to chop off their hands. Amidst the blood-soaked wailing, Wanyan Aguda spoke again: "I want the Goryeo general to speak to me. Anyone who understands the Khitan language can stand up and avoid being tortured!"
The Jurchens now speak Khitan, and they also use Khitan characters. As a vassal state of the Liao Kingdom, the senior officials on Goryeo's side can also understand some Khitan. As soon as their voices fell, the prisoners started shouting: "Don't cut off my hand!"
Don't cut off my hand! I am the military judge!" "I am the recorder..."
Not long after, seven or eight middle- and low-level Goryeo generals who had been mixed in with the ordinary soldiers stood up after taking off their armor.
Wanyan Aguda raised the corner of his mouth slightly, waved his hand, and immediately came forward to escort him, questioning Gao Li's situation separately.
"Goryeo actually raised an army of 200,000 people?"
Soon the King of Goryeo mobilized the whole country to establish the "Bie Wu Ban", which was learned by the Jurchen high-level officials. On the one hand, Wanyan Aguda was amazed at the number of the opponent's troops, but on the other hand, he felt disdainful: "Such a weak army, in addition to contributing to the country,
Besides bringing a burden, what's the use? Let alone 200,000, even one million, even my two thousand Jurchen warriors can attack it without fail!"
The generals laughed loudly: "That's right! I can hit you with one million!"
This is not blind confidence. The fighter planes chosen by the Jurchens this time were already very good. Goryeo had just recruited a large army. It had not been fully trained and could not form much combat effectiveness. The Jurchens tore up the peace agreement and launched a brazen attack. Naturally, they had the upper hand.
.
Historically, it was just the opposite. After King Ruizhong of Goryeo passed away and Emperor Ruizong ascended the throne, the army practiced for five years. They thought they had strong troops and horses, and then they began to take revenge. They first lured the Jurchens to come to a banquet and poisoned them in the form of a "bloody wedding".
The Jurchens gathered hundreds of people and launched a surprise attack, which indeed caused a lot of trouble to the Jurchens, but they were ultimately defeated.
Now that he knew himself and his enemy, and asked about the situation in Goryeo, Wanyan Aguda no longer paid attention to this neighboring country. He pointed his finger and selected the three most timid and cowardly Goryeo generals. He sneered: "Except for them, kill everyone else." Got it!"
The unbelievable screams of their colleagues echoed in their ears. The three of them were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Chief, spare your life! Spare your life!"
Wanyan Agu opened his mouth: "Go and tell the King of Korea that if you don't want to subjugate the country, just obey my Jurchen's request..."
After confirming that the three people were recorded, he asked his subordinates to bring the horses and let the three people leave. At the same time, Wanyan Loushi had already led his team over: "Bo Ji Lie, the food and grass have been captured."
Wanyan Aguda asked: "How long will it last?"
Wanyan Loushi said: "The ten-day ration of ten thousand Korean troops is only for the warriors of each tribe. It is enough to last for a month. If it is distributed to the tribesmen, it will not be enough."
Wanyan Agu frowned: "Is there only a ten-day ration? It seems that the King of Korea has the intention of attacking again this time. What gave this weak country the confidence... to mediate!"
Wanyan Wu Yashu, who had taken the initiative to abdicate before, was the eldest son, and Wanyan Aguda was the second son. Wanyan Husai, whose name was called at this time, was the sixth son. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but Wanyan Aguda still asked. It's a similar question: "How many troops do you need to defeat the Goryeo army?"
Wanyan Osai thought for a while and then replied: "If we attack the city and make the enemy exhausted, five hundred cavalry are enough to contain their foreign aid and cut off their pay. If Goryeo really has hundreds of thousands of troops to attack, it will take a thousand men to ensure the pursuit." Do not allow the enemy troops to return."
Wanyan Agu said: "I will give you a thousand men to completely defeat Goryeo, but remember that our real enemy is the Khitan. What we want is Goryeo's grain, grass and baggage to supply the various ministries. After the show of force, we will negotiate immediately!"
Wanyan Osai accepted the order: "Yes!"
After Wanyan Osai went to various ministries to select soldiers and prepared for the march, Wanyan Aguda said to Wanyan Lou's room: "Select five hundred warriors, prepare three days of rations, and be ready for a surprise attack at any time!"
Wanyan Loushi accepted the order: "Yes!"
"As expected of the founding king..."
The total strength of less than 3,000 troops was actually divided up. Li Yan watched from mid-air, but secretly nodded.
If it weren't for the incarnation of "Zuo Ming" who couldn't use the active talent, he would have wanted to use [Secret Agent Listening] to find out how high this person's five basic attributes were.
Fortunately, it doesn't matter, you will have the opportunity soon.
Wanyan Aguda found it strange why the King of Goryeo, who had suffered a disastrous defeat not long ago, still had the confidence to confront the Jurchen warriors head-on when the newly recruited army was not yet well trained, but Li Yan knew it very well.
Because at this time, the voice of prayer could already be heard in his ears.
"Sacrifice with the heavenly soul to return to the early days of the Ming Dynasty... Sacrifice with the soul of the earth to transform yourself into Taixu... Sacrifice with the heart contract, and rely on the presence of the gods!"
"Please give me the magic power from the Holy King Zhenwu! Please give me the magic power from the Holy King Zhenwu!"
…
Goryeo Royal Fortress.
The King of Goryeo stood in front of the palace, looking at the troops reviewing in front. The Crown Prince and the ministers lined up behind him, all with strange faces.
Because after the Divine Cavalry Army, the Divine Infantry Army and the Demon-Conquering Army, the three hundred soldiers who appeared in front of everyone had such strange shapes that it is difficult to describe them in words.
They are of different heights and statures. They are obviously selected temporarily, but everyone wears a black robe with a white front, a Yin-Yang Taichi fish on their forehead, three sticks of incense around their waists, and a string around their wrists.
The bell made no sound when walking.
In the end, the Crown Prince couldn't help but ask: "Father, this 'Phaseless Taoist Armament' was passed down from our ancestors, why have I never heard of it before?"
"No need to ask too much, just look at it, this is the magic weapon our ancestors gave us to deal with straight women!"
The King of Goryeo stroked his beard and smiled. There are no unreasonable benefits in the world, and he really couldn't see what "Zuoming" could do for Goryeo by giving such secret military training methods. So after thinking about it, there was only one possibility. "Zuoming" was
Koreans!
While the father and son were communicating, the Wuxiang Taoist soldier had already taken the incense stick around his waist and chanted a mantra in unison. Each time he recited a sentence, one stick lit up, and his expression became more and more pious.
When they finally said, "Ask the Lord Zhenwu to cast down his magic power," the Yin-Yang Tai Chi fish on their foreheads began to glow and wrap around their bodies. Then a jaw-dropping scene happened. In broad daylight, three hundred soldiers disappeared.
not see.
"where is the guy?"
"This is our Goryeo magic weapon?"
There was silence at first in front of the palace, and after a moment of silence, an uproar broke out.
Amid the surprise and joy of celebration, the King of Koryo raised his hands as if to embrace the world: "Let the world see the power of our Koryo! The Wuxiang Dao soldiers attack!"
