Chapter 1254: Xu Hongcai guessed, attack and defense outside the city wall
Xu Hongcai hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly, "Maybe I am overthinking it. After all, there is a general who is stationed in the north. The general is extremely respectful and loyal to the late king and the king. However, this time the golden soldiers came too suddenly. But it is too unexpected. I am worried about your majesty's safety, so I am saying this. I hope your king will not blame me."
"Although the enemy came out of nowhere, they should be just a small group of lone troops. If they sneaked all the way, it would not be surprising that the feudal towns in the North could not find their traces."
"Zheng Zhongfu!"
Wang Yan's slender eyes narrowed, but he smiled coldly, "Are you loyal?"
The monarch and his ministers did not continue chatting on this topic, but it was obvious that a thorn had been planted in Wang Yan's heart! He was originally disgusted and afraid of generals, but this time something like this happened, and after that The suppression of military generals will obviously be more severe.
Zheng Zhongfu and others, who were already overwhelmed, obviously could not endure it for long in the face of the continued suppression by the court and the king!
Sometimes, the wheel of history is so stubborn and firm. In history, there was no such time when troops came to the city. However, although the arrival of Shen Tang slightly fluctuated the strings of history, it did not deviate from the right track.
Wang Chen's contempt for military commanders still persisted. Zheng Zhongfu and others planned for a long time, originally thinking that they could change the king's view of military commanders. However, they did not expect that it would not work out, but it had exactly the opposite effect.
If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the warriors rebel, and it will even intensify as a result.
Outside Kaijing City, Shen Tang squinted his eyes and looked at the nearby city.
If possible, Shen Tang would really like to lead his troops into a fight.
Many Chinese heroes died in battle because of the small country of Goryeo. In fact, the fall of the Sui Dynasty was directly related to the expedition to Goryeo! Fortunately, he still had some sense and was not impulsive.
The reason why this small country of Goryeo was able to withstand the attacks of the Central Plains Dynasty several times was not without reason.
First of all, although Goryeo has a very small territory, it is long and narrow from north to south. In an era when navigation technology was not very developed, if you wanted to attack Goryeo, you had no way to start a war on multiple fronts. You could only attack from the north all the way to the south.
Secondly, Goryeo has a population of several million and a standing army of tens of thousands, which is not inferior even to Dali.
In addition, because it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, there are almost all rivers in Goryeo. Even compared with the Huaihe River in the Song Dynasty, it is even better. There are nearly ten rivers running from east to west.
In other words, Koryo's troops and horses only need to be deployed along the river to block the enemy's attacks, and they can cause great harm to the enemy.
One burst of momentum will weaken again, and three times will be exhausted! Even the most powerful soldiers and horses will gradually decline in momentum and fighting spirit in the face of these constant attacks, and they don't know where the enemy's limit is.
Therefore, the Sui Dynasty and Taizong all failed here.
Even the famous Tang general Xue Rengui took several years to conquer Goryeo. If not for the terrifying national power of the Tang Dynasty, the country would have collapsed before Goryeo was captured.
"One day, I will personally lead the army, and a real horse will ride in the capital!"
Shen Tang looked into the distance and suddenly shouted loudly.
"We are willing to fight to the death with the general!"
Regardless of whether they were carrying Wei troops or Jin soldiers and horses, they all raised their arms and shouted. In their eyes, Shen Tang was invincible. Since he said he could do it, he would definitely be able to do it.
"Song Kai, Pu Chasuo! Act according to the plan!"
"I will obey your orders!"
The two men shouted and accepted their orders at the same time, and then divided their armies into two armies and rushed toward the east and west sides of Kaijing City.
If we just wait and see here, how could Kaijing become panicked?
Even if you don't actually attack the city, you still have to create a posture.
Although the two armies each had only a thousand soldiers and horses, the galloping armies shook the city walls of Kaijing with a rumble. The Goryeo soldiers and horses on the city, who had not experienced war for a long time, were even more panicked.
Before the cavalry outside the city arrived, the guard couldn't wait to order his soldiers, "Quickly, smash it down and shoot arrows..."
Although these soldiers and horses are not very good, they are still the capital of the country. Therefore, even if the time is not long, there is not a lot of defensive materials gathered on the city wall.
In panic, countless boulders and arrows hit the bottom of the city wall like a heavy rain from the top of the city wall.
It's a pity that Song Kai and others are still two hundred battles away from the city wall at this moment, and these things have not caused them any trouble at all!
The war horses galloped forward until they were still dozens of feet away from the city wall. The bows and arrows in their hands, which had already been tightened, suddenly shot out!
Although they were running and shooting from behind, the Jin people were already good at riding and shooting, and Song Kai and others were also good at this. Therefore, as the arrows were shot, screams and screams were heard from the city wall. Exclamations.
It's a good thing that it wasn't attacked in the first place. After all, this city wall can give people a sense of security.
However, when screams and blood spattered on the city wall, many newcomers who entered the battlefield for the first time collapsed.
Ignoring the general's obstruction, they screamed and ran away, trying to get as far away from these arrows as possible. In fact, no matter how accurate the arrows of Song Kai and others were, not many Goryeo soldiers were actually killed or injured by their attacks. , and very few people actually died in battle.
If you are a mature veteran guarding the city, facing such an attack, you will not even pay attention to it. It is not impossible to hide behind the parapet and sleep.
However, how many of these soldiers and horses on the walls of Kaijing have actually been on the battlefield?
Their greatest achievement is probably just suppressing some bandits or unrest among the people, and they have not really seen the horror of the battlefield.
Soldiers and horses galloped back and forth three times outside the city. Among the Goryeo soldiers above the city, the actual number of people shot and killed was estimated to be at most three to five hundred. However, in panic, his own trampling and mistakes caused a total of one or two thousand casualties. human casualties.
Next, the two thousand men and horses under Shen Tang took turns to step forward and launched more than a dozen attacks around the capital city. It was not until sunset that they completely stopped.
The Goryeo guard on the city wall wiped the cold sweat from his head. He also knew that the performance of himself and his troops in this battle was really ridiculous, but so what, as long as he defended Kaijing, he would have done a great job. .
I carefully looked outside the city, and sure enough, the soldiers and horses had retreated.
He waved his hand to summon the lieutenant, "Go and tell the king the good news! The enemy attacked the city frantically thirteen times, with nearly ten thousand troops invested. The general led his men to fight to the death, and three thousand people were killed or wounded. However, he did not let the king down. With great support, Kaijing City is still as stable as a mountain. As long as I am still alive, I will never let an enemy enter Kaijing."
