Three hundred and fortieth chapters deep into the hinterland(1/2)
After a wedding banquet, Chu army general Gao Shun led soldiers from the trapped camp to successfully invade Pyongyang City.
Jin Tian then led the remnants of his troops to withdraw from Pyongyang City, and the entire northern part of North Korea fell into the enemy's territory of Chu.
Today I finally had no choice but to retreat to Ganghwa Island.
However, Jin Tian did not give up his last hope. Jin Hu was killed in a battle in Pyongyang City. Jin Bao was pierced to death by thousands of arrows in the final battle to defend the palace. Jin Biao was eventually killed on a boat on Pyongyang's moat.
Burn to death......
In the end, Jin Tian had no choice but to send Zhang Gao, his most trusted adviser, to supervise the two generals of Seoul and the two princes of the Jin family, namely the King of Seoul and King Guangcheng.
After Zhang Gaogang arrived, the King of Seoul and King Guangcheng held a banquet to welcome the best counselor of the Korean King.
Before the feast, the King of Seoul comforted him by saying, "Doctor Zhang has worked hard all the way. I have informed King Kwangseong that he will be here soon."
Doctor Zhang Gao: "That's good. The King of Joseon is most concerned about the defense of southern Korea. I hope the King of Seoul and King Kwangseong will work together..."
The King of Seoul interrupted and replied: "Doctor Zhang doesn't know something. The entire southern part of Korea is about two thousand miles long, and there are many tribes in it. There are not only the most elite golden-armored soldiers in Korea, but also the rabble with embroidered skills and tricks. They live in all directions, and the government
It is difficult to unify defense if there are many exits.”
Doctor Zhang Gao: "But the most important territories of Hancheng and Hanguang are your kings of Hancheng and King Guangcheng. As long as the two princes do not slack off, the Chu army cannot shake it."
The King of Seoul smiled: "Although King Kwangseong and I have different fathers, we have the same mother. He, King Kwangseong, sucks his mother's left breast, and I, the King of Seoul, suck the right breast. Only my younger brother has the mother's two breasts."
We are fed from the breast. So even though we are born from the same mother, we have always taken care of ourselves."
Doctor Zhang Gao asked in surprise: "Is there still such a reason?"
The King of Hancheng sighed: "To be honest, unless the doctor has arrived, I'm afraid my brother won't be able to invite me."
Doctor Zhang Gao persuaded: "Then how can the two princes be united and fight together?"
The King of Seoul stood up and waved his hand and said, "Don't ask me. Wait a moment and ask King Kwangseong about this."
The two clinked glasses and drank. The sound of horse hooves was heard outside, and the waiter announced:
"King Guangcheng has arrived——"
The two stood up to greet him.
With a burst of wild laughter, King Guangcheng, who was gorgeously dressed, entered the tent.
Seeing Dr. Zhang Gao, King Guangcheng asked: "Why, I see that what Doctor Zhang brought is the bodyguard of the King of Joseon himself?"
Doctor Zhang Gao replied: "Yes, the King of Joseon authorized me to come to supervise the army. He was worried that my humble position would not be enough to deter those who dare not advance, so he specially gave me a Shang Fang Sword... It is not a last resort, and Ri Ming does not want to
Use it!"
King Seoul and King Kwangseong looked at each other in confusion.
Doctor Zhang Gao stretched out his hand and asked: "Please take a seat, two princes, I will now convey the instructions of the King of Joseon..."
At this time, Chen Dao had already led his new cavalry across thousands of miles.
Once these cavalrymen mounted their horses, the balance of victory was once again in their favor.
A messy Korean indigenous camp.
Captured Korean sergeants were squatting everywhere.
The gleaming saber and the Han Dynasty cavalry.
Chen arrived and galloped up on his horse, shouting: "Army Commander!"
Kai Ge flashed out and responded hurriedly: "The general is here!"
Chen Dao sternly rebuked: "Who told you to stop? Continue southward immediately..."
Kaige asked a little doubtfully: "But these seizures?"
Chen Dao waved the big sword in his hand and ordered: "Throw it all away, don't carry any baggage, continue to march westward, fight hard, rush and chase me, don't stop for a moment, fight quickly and make a decision, march straight in!"
After Kaige heard what Chen Dao said, he ordered to the soldiers around him: "Didn't you hear? Get on your horse immediately! Let's go..."
Kaige led his troops and roared away.
The sergeant guarding the prisoners pointed at the prisoners: "General, what should we do with these prisoners?"
Chen Dao said implicitly: "You just have to figure it out!"
Chen Dao turned his horse around and sped away. The sergeant's voice came from behind him: "Except for women, I will chop off all the Korean knights!"
The voice was horrifying, full of the cruelty of the battlefield...
At this time, Nie Zefeng, who was also paying attention to the Korean War, was standing in front of a large map.
Nie Zefeng said to Pang Tong next to him: "...Have you noticed that this Chen Dao has suffered a loss since the last time, and since then, he has never been in a hurry to report the battle now, and you can't figure out where he is?
Pang Tong asked hurriedly: "Is the king worried?"
Nie Zefeng looked back at Pang Tong, then continued to look at the map and said: "What's the use of worrying? People deliberately didn't report it because they were afraid that I would interfere with him!"
Pang Tong replied thoughtfully: "Yes, the twenty-year-old commander only used his elite cavalry of ten thousand people to penetrate more than two thousand miles behind the enemy's rear. Is this move too bold for the king?"
Nie Zefeng ignored him.
Pang Tong also sighed: "Of course, if it succeeds, it will be a shocking event in the history of war!"
Nie Zefeng replied dully: "I don't want to 'shock the world', nor do I want to 'shock the world.' I only use ten thousand people to shorten preparation time, reduce military expenditures, and increase the speed of action. As for using two
A ten-year-old commander-in-chief is even simpler. The general I like is only twenty-years-old, so what can you do?"
Pang Tong smiled.
Nie Zefeng said with great interest: "Go and call General Huang Zhong here and see what kind of prediction he has for the situation on the Korean battlefield."
Pang Tong replied with some surprise: "This is the first time that General Huang Zhong has sat on the sidelines."
Nie Zefeng looked at it for a moment, and then said to himself: "It doesn't matter if you do something, it's clear to all who see it!"
At this time, wars were already taking place in the southern half of Korea.
There were troops and cavalry constantly on the move.
The sergeants looked panic-stricken, and a sentry horse galloped over and dismounted in front of the tent.
King Guangcheng and Doctor Zhang Gao listened to the whistle report in surprise.
The sentry report said: "A Chu cavalry regiment of more than 10,000 people entered the center of southern Korea five days ago, marched southward, crossed five counties, and crossed Mount Kumgang yesterday and killed the Seoul governor.
Nan'an County Sheriff. At the foot of Bolan Mountain (lu
Road) and fought fiercely with the main force of the King of Seoul and took away the golden statue used by the King of Seoul to worship the heaven. The main force of the King of Seoul was forced to retreat to the south of Seoul. Now the Chu cavalry regiment is still advancing south and has entered our light.
Cheng Defense Zone, the outpost general asked King Guangcheng to quickly send troops for reinforcements..."
The stunned King Guangcheng.
Doctor Zhang Gao asked hurriedly: "You mean the Chu army has approached Guangzhou?"
The whistleblower hurriedly reported: "Yes, this time the Chu army is very strange. They are lightly armed and simple, covering up and killing all the way. They are extremely sharp." King Guangcheng sighed worriedly: "What kind of tactic is this? Lightning-quick? King of Seoul
Even the 40,000 troops and cavalry couldn’t stop it?”
The sentry report: "The outpost general said that this time the Chu army was different from any previous battle. It did not aim to occupy the land. It was determined to attack our camp and fight with our main force. Therefore, all the troops along the way were defeated and no one was left.
It can be blocked!"
King Guangcheng cursed: "Fart! This is obviously the excuse of the King of Seoul. He deliberately opened the gate to release the flood. Without resisting desperately, the Chu army's disaster was released into our country in the blink of an eye!"
Doctor Zhang Gao comforted him and said: "King Guangcheng calm down. The Chu army has been on an expedition for five consecutive days. It is already the end of its strong bow and crossbow. In my opinion, we should immediately stop the Chu army at the foot of the mountain and outside Guangzhou. As long as we can block the Chu army's attack
With his sharp edge, the King of Seoul will definitely return his troops to encircle us."
King Guangcheng explained: "The prince is too naive. My brother has always only cared about himself. He has fled to the west of Mount Kumgang. Will he return to Seoul? Only a fool would believe it."
Doctor Zhang Gao asked: "Does King Guangcheng want to give up resistance?"
King Guangcheng quibbled with the blade: "I am just trying to avoid his sharp energy and attack his laziness. Come on, pass on my general order——"
Doctor Zhang Gao shouted: "King Guangcheng!"
As soon as Dr. Zhang Gao shouted, his Shanyu guards immediately rushed into the tent and stared at King Guangcheng.
King Guangcheng looked at the group of people coming up, and then asked: "What, what does the prince want to do?"
Doctor Zhang Gao held the long sword in his hand, and then threatened in a low voice: "The King of Joseon did not give me the Shangbang Sword for nothing. I hope King Guangseong can understand this!"
Seeing this situation, King Guangcheng hurriedly asked: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Doctor Zhang Gao: "If King Guangcheng himself has no courage, you give me 10,000 cavalry and I will stop the Chu army for you!" King Guangcheng said helplessly: "If this is the case, what will I, King Guangcheng, have in the future?
Want to meet the King of Korea with dignity? I’d better go by myself! Sir, I’ll leave this camp to you!”
As he spoke, King Guangcheng walked to the tent, took off his sword, held it in his hand, and shouted: "Follow me!"
King Guangcheng and his entourage came out of their tent.
Only Doctor Zhang Gao and the guards were left in the tent.
Doctor Zhang Gao said to the members of the guard: "Go, you should also follow King Guangcheng, and you must block the Chu army from the outskirts of Guangzhou!"
The guards immediately ran out.
