Chapter 1218: An urgent letter from the dark night, the old general is defeated
Chapter 1218: An urgent message arrives in the dark night, and the old general is defeated
"Sir, General Heshi Liezhining's messenger, urgently seeking to see you!"
Shen Tang and his party were having dinner when a maid suddenly walked in from outside the door and reported to Shen Tang.
Shen Tang frowned slightly, and then said to the girls, "You guys eat first, I'll go see you!"
Heshi Liezhining should be at war with the Goryeo Kingdom now, so why would he send a messenger here?
When Shen Tang arrived at the study, He Shi Lie Zhining's messenger was already waiting!
"I will finally pay my respects to you, sir!"
"Sit down! What happened at General's place?"
Shen Tang asked in a solemn voice.
The young general gave a wry smile and said, "Sir, we have been defeated. The general asked us to come to you for help!"
Shen Tang was shocked and hurriedly asked! This matter was beyond Shen Tang's expectation. Although Shen Tang had not personally seen the strength of Goryeo, he could probably understand something about it, and Heshi Liezhining As well as the combat prowess of his generals, Shen Tang naturally knew it. It could be said that Heshi Liezhining had no reason to fail.
Although Heshi Liezhining only brought 5,000 elite troops, they were all cavalry. They were extremely mobile and their combat power should not be underestimated. Only by gathering tens of thousands of soldiers and horses could Goryeo have the strength to defeat the Jin soldiers. .
However, Heshi Liezhining's purpose this time was not to have a decisive battle with Goryeo. He would not go deep alone, so how could he fail?
The young messenger first handed the letter in his hand to Shen Tang, and then started to tell Shen Tang.
The border between Goryeo and the Jin Kingdom is mainly at the southern end of Posu Road and Haolan Road. It is a vast area with sparsely populated areas, and almost no Jin tribes survive. This is why Goryeo has always wanted to occupy this place.
The so-called Liaodong area refers to the area southeast of Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo. Although the desert land here was not favored by the Jin people, it was a piece of cake in the eyes of Goryeo.
Therefore, Goryeo has never completely cut off its thoughts on the Liaodong area.
It failed last time, but this time it actually provoked a dispute at the border again. This is also the reason why Heshi Liezhining came.
In the eyes of both the imperial court and Wanyan Yong, Heshi Liezhining, who led 5,000 elites, was capable of handling this war and could even teach Goryeo a profound lesson. Heshi Liezhining also believed so.
After all, the last time Goryeo provoked them, the Jin Kingdom easily repulsed them. This time, Heshi Liezhining really had no reason to fail.
After meeting with Shen Tang and others, Heshi Liezhining led his troops southward and attacked the border between the two countries! He crossed the Yalu River and headed south for about a hundred miles, directly entering the territory of Goryeo! At the end of the Datong River, Close to the border between the two countries, Heshi Liezhining's scouting horse discovered traces of the main force of Goryeo soldiers and horses.
There were only two to three thousand soldiers and horses in Goryeo here, and most of them were infantry. Therefore, Heshi Liezhining did not hesitate at all and directly led his troops to rush forward!
Five hundred people were beheaded in the first battle, and the rest of the Goryeo soldiers and horses were defeated and dispersed! Heshi Liezhining was not anxious, and just let the soldiers and horses bite the opponent's remaining soldiers, vowing to drive the Goryeo soldiers and horses all the way back to Wonsan and the Nampo area .
There is a distance of more than a hundred miles from the border to Wonsan. Heshi Liezhining believed that with this hundred-mile pursuit, the next time Goryeo wanted to provoke the Jin Kingdom, it would definitely think carefully about it.
Goryeo's soldiers and horses fled all the way. Although soldiers and horses occasionally joined in on the road, the Jin people with five thousand cavalry were obviously not something they could compete with!
After four or five days, Heshi Liezhining killed more than 2,000 Goryeo soldiers and horses. The rest finally fled into the barren mountains ahead, and Heshi Liezhining also stopped.
The soldiers and horses under his command are preparing to return!
The northern part of Goryeo is also extremely sparsely populated, and there are no decent cities. Therefore, the Jin soldiers and horses did not encounter any trouble on their way back. However, just when they arrived at the Datong River and prepared to return to the territory, in the dense forest in front of them
Among them, one or two thousand warriors in black suddenly appeared!
These people were obviously well prepared. The road ahead had been cut off, and thousands of Korean soldiers and horses appeared from behind to surround and kill them. What made He Shiliezhining the most incredible was that his scouting horses had already explored the barren mountains ahead.
However, no trace of these people was found at all.
However, although he fell into the opponent's ambush, Heshi Liezhining did not panic! The opponent only had three to four thousand people in total, but he had five thousand elite cavalry under his command. Even if the terrain was unfavorable, he could fight hard.
They will not be at a disadvantage in this game.
After all, they have experienced the combat power of Goryeo's soldiers and horses too many times.
But in the actual fight, Heshi Liezhining's expression changed drastically! Those Goryeo soldiers and horses were okay. Although they were not afraid of death, they were still no match for them, but those black warriors had strange and fierce fighting power!
These people seemed to use swords as weapons, but in fact, they had various methods. Some of them had even lurked underground and took advantage of the chaos to enter the Jin people's military formation.
In a chaotic fight, the opponent's casualties were temporarily uncountable, but the Jin's side had damaged nearly half of their troops.
The most important thing is that the commander-in-chief Heshi Liezhining was actually stabbed by those black-clad warriors.
The commander was injured, and his soldiers and horses immediately lost their fighting spirit. He Shiliezhining's personal guards personally protected him, fought a bloody path, and escaped with the defeated soldiers in embarrassment...
Listening to the narration of the person in front of him, and adding what He Shilie Zhining said in his letter, Shen Tang immediately understood the whole story of this battle! The turning point of this battle was the sudden appearance of those strange black warriors.
"Samurai of Japan!"
There was a bit of piercing light in Shen Tang's eyes.
In this era, although Goryeo and Japan had various connections with the Central Plains, they were separated by the vast sea after all. Therefore, the Song and Jin people did not have a deep understanding of Japan, and Shen Tang came from later generations, even more so.
If you are familiar with history, you will naturally know the origin of these black warriors.
Especially their weird battles, who could they be if they weren't those Japanese samurai?
"Sir, the other brothers are currently protecting the general and retreating to the north bank of the Yalu River. The general is seriously injured and may need to rest for a while. Therefore, the general asked the last general to come and ask for help!"
The young general said respectfully.
Shen Tang thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, you can rest for the night, and we will leave early tomorrow morning!"
Heshi Liezhining asked Shen Tang to refuse, and Shen Tang really had no reason to refuse! Moreover, Shen Tang really wanted to see the Japanese samurai in this era. Why on earth did they become a serious problem for the Ming Dynasty a hundred years later?
When the young general heard that Shen Tang had agreed, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, sir!"
