Chapter 89 Fighting Liaodong
The Koryo people were defeated like a mountain, and the navy drove the Koryo army out of the city like a powerful torrent.
When the sky was dark, the battle was over. Part of the Korean army was wiped out, and most of them escaped from the new city. I have to say that the ability of the Koreans to escape is truly unparalleled!
Eulji Gede led the remaining defeated soldiers and fled southward into Liaodong City. Gao Zuochen was so shocked when he saw Eulji Gede and others fleeing in embarrassment. He never expected that the new city would be lost just two days after the reinforcements left.
Didn't see his son Takaoka? He hurriedly asked: "Where is my son Takaoka?" Ulji Gede sighed and said: "General Takaoka died in the battle when the city was broken!"
Gao Zuochen felt a bolt from the blue, his body shook, and then he roared with infinite hatred: "Sui people, I am not at odds with your forces!"
Gao Zuochen calmed down, doubts came to his mind, and asked Ulji Gaide: "Why did the new city fall so quickly? This shouldn't be the case!"
Eulchi Gaed said angrily: "The Sui people are so cunning! They sent a group of soldiers and horses to intercept Gaogang outside the city to fight, but in fact they took this opportunity to send hundreds of elites wearing our military uniforms to infiltrate our army! These
They raided and captured the city gate in the middle of the night, and the Sui army followed them into the city, and the city was lost!"
When Gao Zuochen heard this, he felt extremely depressed. He felt that if he had not sent reinforcements, not only would his son not have died in vain, but the new city might not have been lost so quickly!
Eulji Gede said worriedly: "The fighting power of the Sui army is far beyond imagination, and the generals of the Sui army are even more brave! I see, I don't think this Liaodong City can be defended anymore!"
Gao Zuochen shouted sternly: "Nonsense! How could we lose to the Sui people? I will defend Liaodong to the death! As long as His Majesty's reinforcements arrive, victory will ultimately be ours!"
Seeing what Gao Zuochen said, Euljigaide said nothing more.
Zhang Lang successfully captured the new city and immediately guarded the new city with 2,000 troops. He himself led the main army south across the Liaohe River and Daliang River to reach the Liaodong City. At the same time, his general Zhao Gang, under Zuo Xiaowei, also led 25,000 troops.
The horses left Tongding Town and arrived at the Liaodong City of Goryeo to join Zhang Lang's troops.
In the Liaodong County government office, Luo Yi received the military report from the front line and couldn't help but sigh. At this time, Luo Cheng rushed in excitedly and shouted: "Father, I heard that the general has captured the new city?"
Luo Yi nodded and couldn't help but admired: "General Zuo Xiaowei is indeed well-deserved! The consecutive victories have severely defeated Goryeo, and not long ago, he captured the new city in one fell swoop! Now Liaodong City has become an isolated city. I believe it won't be long before
Liaodong City will fall into my hands, the Sui Dynasty!"
Luo Cheng exclaimed excitedly: "Great! I knew that the general and my cousin were both unparalleled brave generals!" Then he said contemptuously: "Mere Koreans are nothing, in the eyes of the general and my cousin.
All I have is a lamb and an elk!"
Luo Yi said with a smile: "The most rare thing about a general is not his invincibility, but his resourcefulness. The battle to capture the new city is not about attacking by force but outwitness. Not half of people can think of such a strategy, and I am ashamed of myself."
Unfortunate!" Luo Cheng looked surprised, he had never seen his father admire anyone so much.
Luo Yi remembered something and asked: "Have all the food, grass and baggage been assembled?"
Luo Cheng cupped his fists and said, "I was about to report to my father that all the food, grass and baggage have been assembled, and I'm about to set off."
Luo Yi nodded and thought: "Our food and grass baggage can't last much longer. I hope Yue Gong's food and grass baggage can be shipped as soon as possible." It turned out that before the war started, Luo Yi and Zhang Lang jointly signed a petition to the still-unknown government.
On the way, Yue Gong Yang Su sent a request, asking him to mobilize grain, grass and baggage as soon as possible to support him. Although Zhang Lang was fighting smoothly now, if Yang Su's grain, grass and baggage could not be transported in time, his offensive would not be sustainable.
Zhang Lang gathered more than 40,000 troops from his Zuo Xiaowei army under Liaodong City and launched a fierce attack. More than a hundred catapults continued to throw boulders, and the boulders fell towards Liaodong City like raindrops, making loud banging noises!
At the same time, the brave Zuo Xiaowei army attacked like a tide, rushing towards the city along the ladder! The Koreans only felt extremely heavy pressure, it felt as if the stormy waves were constantly crashing into them, and the ferocious momentum made them almost
He was almost out of breath! This time Zhang Lang didn't use any strategy, but wanted to use irresistible power to directly defeat the Korean resistance and occupy Liaodong City!
The fierce battle lasted for two days. The city of Liaodong was on the verge of collapse. The Korean soldiers were frightened and felt that they were about to lose their strength.
On the third day, Zuo Xiaowei launched an even more violent attack. The number of catapults increased to 300. The stones were like dense raindrops, making the city wall crumbling! The Koreans desperately threw rolling stones and wood down the city wall, but the rolling stones and wood were
Falling into the crowd below the city seemed to have no effect! The naval assault troops quickly swarmed to the top of the city and charged into the Korean army. All they saw were swords and swords, flesh and blood flying everywhere, and the Koreans fell in a pool of blood.
, and some were thrown out of the city wall by the ferocious Sui army, and the shrill screams were still clearly audible on the noisy battlefield! The Koreans tried their best to resist and did not want to retreat, but the Sui army's offensive was too fierce, and gradually
Feeling unable to resist! Seeing the Sui army rushing towards them with great force, the Koreans gradually lost control of their position and began to retreat! In desperation, Gao Zuochen ordered the crossbowmen in the reserve team to shoot at the melee at the top of the city!
A dense rain of arrows flew in, and only the loud crackling sound of rain hitting banana leaves was heard. Sui officers and soldiers fell to pieces, but the Koreans also suffered heavy casualties.
But soon, more officers and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty swarmed onto the city. The Koreans, who had already suffered heavy losses, could no longer resist it and were rushed to pieces by the Sui army! The battle situation on the city wall was precarious, and the Sui army's attack at the city gate was very dangerous.
The city gate had been broken by a car crash. Zhang Lang and others led the cavalry to rush in. The Goryeo army near the city gate tried to form a dense formation to resist the impact of the Sui army's cavalry! I saw the Sui army's cavalry coming as fiercely as a rolling wave.
It hit the Goryeo military formation like a wave of sand. It broke through the formation and rushed into the Goryeo formation in an instant. It trampled forward with iron hooves, swords and guns danced wildly and raised blood rain all over the sky. The corpses of the Goryeo soldiers were covered with blood and flew around. In an instant, they were killed.
The Sui army's cavalry rushed to pieces and was completely defeated!
