Chapter two hundred and sixteen
…
Li Yan likes to fight against the city, especially when his side is weak.
But this time it won't work. This time Li Yan must fight a field battle with the Goryeo army and decide the outcome in one battle.
Why?
It is only because, only in the field battle, Li Yan had the opportunity to eliminate more than 20,000 Goryeo army in one fell swoop, and then marched towards Kaijing and took Kaijing into one fell swoop.
The current situation is that fighting a field battle with the Goryeo Army is really...what to say, it is actually no different from seeking death.
On the other side of Goryeo:
The Dragon and Tiger Army, the Shenhu Guard, and the Jinwu Guard are all elite.
These three troops alone include 10,000 elite cavalry and 6,000 elite infantry.
In addition, the three thousand horses and ten thousand infantry of the Honourable Army were added.
The total force on Goryeo: 14,000 horse army and 18,000 infantry army.
Liangshan Army:
The first army of Ma, the second army of Ma, and the personal guard camp, had a total of about 5,000 horses and the horses suffered some losses, so there were less than 5,500 troops and even 5,000 troops.
If the infantry army is based on Li Yan's standards, the Liangshan infantry only has 2,500 troops from the second infantry army of Lu Zhishen.
The five and six armies of the Infantry Army, which had not been trained and were mainly composed of Korean slaves, were actually a group of mobs, civilians who had armor and helmets and had weapons, and were still very cowardly civilians.
Well, even if Li Yan didn't care that the Fifth Army and the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army were mobs, and if they were added, the Liangshan Army would only have 12,500 Infantry Army.
Compare and see.
The horse army on Goryeo is three times that on his side.
The infantry in Goryeo is more than five or six thousand more than one of his own.
fine!
Li Yan also had a thousand artillery army and five hundred unconscience-free cannons, and another twenty thousand thunders.
So, there is still a battle to fight.
The question is, how to fight?
What Li Yan didn't know was that Goryeo's commander Jin An was also having a headache.
Why do you think?
As the most important port in Goryeo and as the place where the royal family of the Goryeo royal family was built, Licheng City was built large and strong. Not to mention that its walls were as high as three meters high, the moat that was thirty meters wide was deterrent.
That's fine, the key is that among the more than 30,000 soldiers he brought this time, only 18,000 were infantry troops, and 12,000 of them were prefectures and county troops that lack training.
In this case, how could he conquer this strong city?
After Anhaoying set up a village, Jin An looked at Li Chengcheng at a loss!
Recently, a new aide under Jin'an's gang was a descendant of Gong's descendant from the founding of Goguryeo. His real name was Gongfu, and he claimed that he was called Sunfu.
Seeing Jin An frown, Gong Fu said, "Is the head master worried about how to capture this etiquette and Chengcheng?"
Jin An asked, "You have a way?"
Gong Fu said: "It may be difficult to defeat him with a strong attack, so it is better to lure them out of the city and fight."
Jin An asked: "Do you have a way to lure them out of the field?"
Gong Fu asked replies without answering: "Do you know the history of the Han people in the Three Kingdoms period?"
Jin Andao: "I know a little about the fur."
Gong Fu said: "Then I guess the head teacher must know Zhuge Liang?"
Jin An thought for a while and said, "Is it the Prime Minister of Shu Han?"
Gong Fu said: "No," when Zhuge Liang led the Shu army to the fifth Northern Expedition, Sima Yi, the commander-in-chief of Cao Wei, knew that it was difficult to transport food and grass from the middle of Shu, so he insisted on not fighting. Zhuge Liang asked the soldiers to yell in front of Sima Yi's camp and insulted them, and wanted to force Sima Yi to fight him. But no matter how Zhuge Liang provoked him, Sima Yi ignored Zhuge Liang. Sima Yi waited for Zhuge Liang's troops to scold him for being tired and finished the small amount of military rations and then returned to Shu. Zhuge Liang also knew that such a stalemate would be unfavorable to Shu Han, so when the yell had no effect, Zhuge Liang had a sudden inspiration and sent someone to send Sima Yi a woman's dress, meaning that Sima Yi, you are only worthy of being a woman, and you can't be the commander."
After hearing this, Jin An's eyes lit up and said, "What do you mean is that we will also send someone to give the thief commander a woman's clothes and force him to come out for a decisive battle?"
"ignorance!"
At this moment, a dusty civil servant came in from outside the door.
It turned out that those civil officials were still worried about the military officials who led the troops. In the end, under the accumulation of civil officials, Wang Ya sent Pingzhang Shi Han Anren to replace Jin An as the Marshal of the Pingko Army.
Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a major victory for the royalists, because they finally had the opportunity to find military power. If Han Anren could lead his army to wipe out the bandits who captured Lichenggang, the strength of the royalists would definitely be enhanced, and by then they might be able to compete with the wealthy clan faction.
This is also thanks to Li Ziqian for falling down when he went out this morning and not coming to court. If it weren't for this, Han Anren would not have had the chance to be the Marshal of the Pingko Army.
The civil officials of other factions were not satisfied with the dominance of Li Ziqian. Besides, what the civil officials could not tolerate the rise of military officials was to shake their superior status. The superiority of civil officials could never be changed. Therefore, this time, the civil officials of other factions helped the royalists to protect the royalists.
This allowed the royalists to achieve this major victory.
As soon as he saw Han Anren coming over and Jin An, who had a deep understanding of the current situation of Goryeo's literary superiority and martial arts, immediately guessed that Han Anren was here to replace him as the marshal.
Jin An couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Can military officials always be suppressed by civil officials?"
Han Anren, no matter what Jin An thought, he sat directly on the main seat and said to Gong Fu: "You only know that Zhuge Liang gave women clothes to Sima Yi, but you know that Sima Yi was the one who won the final victory, and Zhuge Liang was dragged to death by Sima Yi in Wuzhangyuan."
Gong Fu was not willing to be outdone and said, "Mr. Han is not Zhuge Liang who has been ill after overwork, nor is the bandits in Licheng City Zhongwu Sima Yi, nor is this place not Wuzhangyuan, which is difficult to transport food and grass thousands of miles away from Shu, but Licheng Port, which is only thirty miles away from Beijing. Why can't this method be tried? Or does Lord. Han have a better way to lure the enemy into battle?"
"this……"
Looking up at the three-meter-high walls and the thirty-meter-wide moat of Li Chengcheng, Han Anren had no good idea for a moment.
Seeing that Han Anren could only pick on tricks, Jin An was very despised, but said, "Mr. Han, if we don't try it, even if we can't, we will just lose a piece of women's clothes."
After hearing what Jin An said, Han Anren could only say: "If you are willing to try, just give it a try, but I can tell you now that your method cannot succeed."
Han Anren said so much that he was so loud that he was slapped by Jin An and Gong Fu. Han Anren said this not long after, Gong Fu, who sent the girl's clothes to Li Yan, came back to report: "The first thief saw the girl's clothes sent by the headmaster. He was furious and said that this was a great humiliation. Not only did he tore the girl's clothes, but he also kicked the table in front of him, threatening to fight us in three days on the plain in front. They were in the east and we were in the west, and we were in the west. The winner was determined."
