Chapter 1395 Outflanking the waterway, who attacked whom?
The teams of light cavalry rushing out from the Goryeo army formation were like a torrent. The rows of cavalry in front were armed with swords and guns, heading straight towards the Bohai cavalry running back and forth in the center of the battlefield, intending to bite the cavalry in front and slow them down.
Run forward, wait for the Korean infantry behind you to close in, encircle and destroy them.
The situation was like a few runaway wild dogs barking and running out, only to fall into a pack of wolves...
Before a group of Goryeo light cavalry could bite the enemy cavalry in front, a Piao army horse came from the side in a roundabout way. The two sides collided with each other, and bright red blood suddenly splashed in the air. The Bohai cavalry were like sharp weapons.
With the sword, the Korean cavalry formation split apart!
The surrounding Bohai cavalrymen were still galloping back and forth like arrows from the string. Following Yan Youxin's command, hundreds of cavalrymen grabbed their reins and turned around together, rushing back to kill the disorganized Goryeo cavalry formation.
The cavalry that was torn into several pieces could not stop for a moment. Just as the Koryo knights who had just been attacked waved their swords and prepared to fight, the enemy troops that had attacked them before rode past them and walked away. Then, they were caught off guard.
Behind the Goryeo cavalry, another Bohai cavalry came to attack...
The Goryeo cavalry who were temporarily killed in one place and the Bohai Horse Army selflessly charged forward to fight. When they opened some distance, the cavalry bow in the hands of the Bohai Horse Army pinpointed the panicked enemy troops again. With the method of mounted archery, Bohai Cavalry
Among the people, the nomadic horse army athletes have an inherent advantage. The Goryeo horse army temporarily lacked the assistance of the infantry and was at an absolute disadvantage in the first confrontation.
The sound of broken bones, the sound of sharp knives cutting flesh, and the heart-rending screams constantly resounded among the Goryeo cavalry. Whenever several cavalrymen collided fiercely in one place like a raging wave, bright flakes suddenly appeared.
Most of the brilliant blood splashed from the Goryeo cavalry. Several groups of cavalry merged and then separated. Even when the horses passed by each other, most of the Bohai cavalry were filled with hatred, and their eyes were full of blood. They just waved.
The weapons were snatched at the enemy. In the billowing smoke, dozens, nearly a hundred, hundreds... or even more corpses gradually appeared on the ground. The ownerless horses neighed and fled away in terror.
At this time, the number of Goryeo army horses being bitten and cannibalized by the Bohai cavalry was getting smaller and smaller.
Competing on horsemanship? The Yan brothers led the Bohai horse army to rush back and forth, coming like thunder in a dry sky and going like a gust of wind. Even if the Goryeo horse army tried its best to fight to the death, how could it resist the enemy?
"Leader! The infantry of the Korean soldiers are approaching. The soldiers fired their arrows and crossbows and killed hundreds of brothers!"
In the midst of the galloping attack, they kept their word and kept their word. Suddenly, they heard a leader report urgently. They were well versed in the art of cavalry warfare. Of course, they also knew very well that the cavalry had to gallop and charge quickly to show their power. No matter it was a chaotic battle or wandering around,
, or if you want to break through the formation, you must ride non-stop and gallop forward. If you are surrounded by a large number of enemy soldiers and horses, you will have to fight on the spot. Even if they have superb riding skills, it will be dangerous. So the Yan brothers whistled again.
, teach the leaders of each cavalry army to split up and lead their troops to gallop around the battlefield, and still be able to wear down the enemy's troops with horseback shooting.
The two groups of cavalry fought in a chaotic battle for only about a stick of incense, but the Goryeo cavalry army had already suffered more than half of its casualties.
Jin Zhi ordered all the troops under his command to march forward. Even if all the cavalrymen suffered heavy losses, he would rather let the enemy troops harass him around him, just to have a head-on confrontation with the rebel army's main troops and horses in a six-flower formation in front of him as soon as possible.
As for the Liuhua Formation's right-wing front army and left-wing front army, they were led by Xi Sheng's generals Liu Yuan and Pan Zhong respectively. Seeing the approaching Goryeo army, the two of them also had time to prepare and ordered the troops under their command to use shields and carry guns. , there are also archers at the rear with their bows and arrows ready, waiting for the enemy to attack and offset the opponent's aggressive momentum.
In fact, the commander-in-chief of Goryeo's army, Jin Zhi, who was the commander of the camp in the northwest, was used to being arrogant. He was indeed short-tempered and easily provoked to anger. However, as a noble son of the two classes of Goryeo warriors, he had also learned to read since he was a child. He is full of military skills. He seems to be reckless in launching his troops into an all-out fight with the enemy, but he actually has his own purpose.
Jin Yuan not only ordered our military governor to come and conquer the rebels who occupied Baozhou, but also sent Li Fang to lead our Korean Navy to leave the port and go north to capture Baozhou Port...Jin Zhi thought fiercely in his heart, According to his assumption, all the rebel troops must have come out in full force, and now the rear defense is empty. If the enemy troops can be entangled on land, and Li Fang can lead the navy to successfully capture the Hong Kong Lane area, this group After the rebel army heard the news, the morale of the army was bound to be turbulent, so they had to immediately withdraw their defenses in order to defend Baozhou. What's the use of letting him set up a large formation? By then, the retreat would be cut off, and I would then use my army to cover up and pursue... .How can we not defeat and annihilate this group of thieves and rebels who despise the prestige of our country, Goryeo?
Jin Zhi thought that his estimate was accurate. When he estimated the time, he thought that Li Fang must have led the navy to Baozhou Port and landed in preparation for a surprise attack on Baozhou City. By then, this group of rebels and thieves would It was too late to realize that there was something wrong in the rear, so how could it continue to be rampant?
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
At the same time, Li Fang, the general in charge of the Goryeo Navy, indeed followed Commander Jin Yuan's order and led 4,000 navy troops to leave the harbor north of Goryeo Nampo and take the waterway directly to the direction of Baozhou Port.
There was a gust of sea wind on the water. Before the four thousand Goryeo navy had traveled ten miles, they were shocked to find that there were several fleets blocking the way in front of them, and the size of the opponent's ships was actually taller and more sophisticated than Goryeo's official ships. .
One of the fleets took advantage of the favorable wind and formed a roundabout arc on the sea. More than three or four warships of various sizes seemed to be joining the attack circle from the diagonal side. Another fleet intercepted the high-speed attack. The Lishui Army's rear path was surrounded on three sides, and they were approaching at a fast pace.
Looking at the tall ships of the unknown naval fleet, it seemed that they were fully equipped with weapons and sufficient soldiers. Li Fang was shocked and angry when he saw this. This place is close to the interior of Goryeo. In the past, the Goryeo navy had many contacts, even if he had Even if some pirates and bandits occasionally clashed when they encountered each other, the size of the ships and soldiers of the four thousand navy meant that ordinary pirates could not take advantage at all. They had to use the vast ocean to take detours to avoid being hunted by even the Goryeo navy.
However, the naval forces in front of them were divided into several teams and rushed towards them with great momentum. This posture was as if the other party was a navy officer and army supported by the local government. On the contrary, our ship was more like a sailor who was discovered at sea and was about to be captured. Kou Li Fang was shocked to realize that the number of ships on the other side was far greater than his own. If he had an encounter with the enemy at sea, it would be a disaster.
Moreover, those fleets were obviously well-prepared and had withstood the siege from three sides by our own navy. Now I am afraid that it would be difficult to break out of the siege and chase and confront the enemy ships on the vast ocean. Now the only way out of the battle group immediately is to teach the naval forces under his command to abandon the ship on the shore and get on land to escape the interception of those fleets who do not know the details. However, Li Fang has military orders and estimates the time. It must be golden at this time on land. Zhi led the cavalry and infantry troops to fight against the strong bandits occupying Baozhou. How could he abandon his warships and allow them to be captured by the enemy, and also violated the commander's orders and delayed the opportunity to capture Baozhou?
Even if Li Fang had no intention of fighting at all, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and order all the ships under his command to sail quickly towards the fleet directly ahead, trying to carve a way out of the sea and try to get rid of these enemy warships. Intercept.
Now that the Liao Dynasty cannot protect itself, and the Jin Kingdom is eager to annex the entire territory of the Liao Kingdom, it is unlikely that they will suddenly launch an attack on our Korean fleet. Besides, I have never seen the Liao Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom have such a large naval fleet assembled... .... The navy of the Song Dynasty? This is even more impossible. Now the Song Dynasty intends to unite with the Jin Dynasty to attack the Liao Dynasty and take the land of Yanyun. Why provoke me, Gaoli, for no reason?
After Li Fang gritted his teeth and recited, he looked around again, and could clearly see that among the intercepting fleets on the sea, there were ships with "Jinghai", "Hengjiang", "Qianlong", and "Fubo". , "White River" and other flags, he suddenly felt a sudden thought in his heart, and thought in surprise: Could it be that these fleets with unknown origins are part of the group of rebellious and powerful bandits who occupied Baozhou? How is this possible? In the past, this has never happened. We have never heard of such a large fleet coming and going there, let alone the Liaodong refugee tribe gathered together in one place, how could they recruit so many naval forces!?
