Three Kingdoms Eschatology
Page 206
Pu Heju was anxious at this time, and shouted loudly: "Let the rolling wood hit the stone!"
The soldiers who had been hiding behind the walls got up one after another, raised the rough wood and boulders they had prepared, and threw them down the city ladder along the ladder.Many of Wu Xiexing's soldiers were smashed to pieces and rolled down the ladder.
Wu Xiexing, who was commanding from a distance, waved his hands and shouted: "Let the back-up archers open their bows and release their arrows! Suppress the enemy soldiers at the top of the city with all their strength!"
Not long afterwards, a large number of crossbowmen who were resting and waiting for orders stepped forward, regardless of possible accidental injuries to their own infantry, and kept firing bows and arrows at the top of the city.Those defenders who were throwing rough trees and boulders towards the city were constantly shot and fell to the ground.
Wu Xiexing's army has 5000 people and is besieging the city from all sides.At present, Park Hyukju only has a force of more than a thousand people. He has to guard the four walls at the same time, and each wall is more than one mile long. There are only two to three hundred people guarding it.Under such circumstances, more and more Wuxie soldiers stood on the top of the city and fought with the defenders.
Pu Heju's face showed despair, but Wu Xiexing in the city was complacent. He was eager to try and was ready to enter the city to celebrate.At this moment, there were bursts of loud shouts behind him, "Who! Don't get close! If you get close, you will shoot arrows!"
Wu Xiexing hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see a blood-stained, unkempt, ragged, and incompletely armored man stumbling towards this side, but was stopped by his soldiers and scolded.The man had already shouted at the top of his voice: "King Wuxie Xing, I am your subject Cui Shuo, I have urgent military information to report..."
Wu Xiexing took a closer look, and it was indeed his generals, but because he was so embarrassed, he almost couldn't recognize them, let alone the other ordinary soldiers.Seeing this scene, Wu Xiexing was shocked, and a thought came to him in an instant, he failed to ambush Liang Jun? !
He immediately said: "Don't shoot the arrow, this is General Cui Shuo, let him come here quickly."
Before Cui Shuo came to Wu Xiexing, the latter couldn't wait to ask: "What's wrong with you? What happened to the ambush of Liang Jun?!"
Without further ado, Cui Shuo fell to his knees with a thump, and howled, "Your Majesty, I deserve death for my crimes. I failed to ambush the Liang army, but all of my soldiers were slaughtered by them. The entire army was wiped out!" !"
Hearing this, Wu Xie was so excited that he almost spat out old blood, and cursed bitterly: "This king dispatched half of your soldiers and horses, and asked you to set up an ambush in a dangerous place. In this case, the other party has been mobbed You must have neglected your duties, leaked your tracks, and made your personality plot against you. This king will only execute you on the spot!" After that, he didn't even order the soldiers, and pulled out his saber himself, but the other party begged for an explanation. He chopped off the poor general's head with a single blow.
Seeing this, a Ma Hanzhuan behind Wu Xiexing reminded: "If this is the case, Liang Jun will come to Silu City at any time. Then do we need to attack Silu urgently?"
Wu Xiexing looked up at the crumbling Silu City, sighed heavily and said, "It's too late, we can only hurry up and retreat, otherwise the other party's response from inside and outside is likely to wipe us out here Lu country." Then he shouted loudly to the commanding soldiers: "Send a certain military order --- withdraw the troops!"
The gong of withdrawing troops sounded immediately.At the head of the city, Pu Heju, who was fighting in despair, suddenly found that Wu Xiexing's soldiers had retreated one after another, not knowing what happened.Then, he saw billows of yellow dust rising from the edge of the distant mountains, and a large group of cavalry was charging towards this side at an extremely fast speed.At the forefront is a majestic heavy armored cavalry, who else can it be except Liang Jun who comes to reinforce.
Pu Heju said happily: "Boys, Daliang's reinforcements are here, everyone is ready to go out of the city and attack the enemy. When the reinforcements reach the city, we will attack inside and outside and wipe out the enemy!"
At the same time, Wu Xiexing under the city turned pale.Knowing that it was too late to run now, he shouted loudly with trembling lips: "Form up! Form up quickly!"
Chapter 771
Under the city of Silu, Wu Xiexing's infantry had just lined up in a panic.The five hundred Liang army's heavy armored cavalry were divided into five groups, and rushed towards Wuxie Xing's army in a conical formation.
Their lances stretch forward as far as possible to extend the attack range of the lances.All the spearmen in Wu Xiexing's army were also in the front row, and the densely packed spears also stood upright.Their spears are about the same length as their opponents' spears.But the soldiers with guns faced the huge cavalry running wildly, their faces were as pale as seeing death.
Just when Liang Jun's five dagger-like cavalry formations were still more than ten battles away from Wu Xiexing's formation, several Korean soldiers retreated involuntarily to the rear and sides, and the entire formation suddenly sank. Several notches.
With a muffled puff, a cavalry spear led by the heavy cavalry of the Liang Army had pierced the chest of a spearman of the Han Army.Then his cavalry charged straight into the crowd of the Korean army, and with a series of muffled noises, more than a dozen Korean infantry were knocked into the air.The lances of the second and third rows of heavy cavalry behind him also stabbed obliquely, widening the gap as much as possible.
One of the heavy cavalry's cavalry and the spear blade of the Korean spearman touched each other's body almost at the same time, but the heavy cavalry's cavalry pierced the infantry's chest, while the spear in the infantry's hand was only reloading. A long trace was drawn on the breastplate of the cavalry warrior.
At the same time, another spear gun was also pierced on the breastplate of the war horse, but the spear blade of this spear gun seemed to be blunt and failed to penetrate the iron armor on the horse's chest.The galloping horse rushed forward, but the other end of the spear plunged into the pawn's chest.
After knocking down dozens of people, the speed of the heavy cavalry of a dozen cavalrymen in the front had slowed down, and they took out their maces and waved them wildly.With the help of the remaining horse power, those Korean infantry were smashed to pieces, and they dodged to both sides in panic.The five conical cavalry formations quickly pierced through the chaotic Korean army formation.After they galloped out for twenty or thirty battles, they returned after killing the generals.This time they dispersed, and then the five cavalry formed a line again, pressing down on the Han soldiers like a raging tide.
The morale of Wu Xiexing's infantry was completely broken at this time, and everyone knew that when the Liang army's iron cavalry came under pressure, they would undoubtedly die if they didn't dodge, so they scattered to the rear and both sides.At the same time, the gate of Silu City was suddenly opened wide, and Pu Heju personally led the troops to attack those who were still attacking the city just now, but now Wu Xiexing's soldiers came after them.
At this time, Wu Xiexing was still yelling and commanding, trying to restore the situation, but in the end he found that all the soldiers of the Han army were fleeing on their own, and even the lords of Chen Han and Ma Han were gone.There are only less than a hundred of his own soldiers around him.Out of the corner of his sight, he saw more than a dozen cavalry from the Liang army galloping towards him. He hurriedly turned his horse's head and ran towards the mountains to the west in the distance, while shouting: "Withdraw! The whole army Evacuate!"
Like him, most of the disbanded Wuxie soldiers fled towards the mountains to the west, because there was a valley there, which was the widest exit of the basin.But when they ran to the vicinity, they found that a Liang army infantry of about a thousand people had already lined up here, ready to fight.A shield wall was across the gap in the valley, but there were only two rows of soldiers behind it, the first row was spear shield soldiers, the second row was longbowmen and some Liang army infantry manipulating portable ballistas.
Seeing this posture, Wu Xiexing's defeated soldiers did not dare to step forward, but the killing sound of the chasing soldiers was getting closer, so they turned around and ran to the sides in a panic like headless chickens, but It will take a long time to run into the mountains from these two directions, and they will definitely be overtaken by Liang Jun's heavy cavalry.
At this moment, Wu Xiexing himself was about to run here. Seeing this, he shouted loudly: "Running in other directions is a dead end. There are not many Liang troops, so we will break through from now on. As long as we break through one Through the gap, we can escape into the mountains."
He and his personal soldiers yelled loudly for a long time, and finally gathered thousands of people, and rushed towards a point on Liang Jun's formation like a swarm of bees.When they were fifty battles away from Liang Jun's formation, the heavy arrows of Liang Jun's archers in the second row came to them. Hundreds of heavy arrows fell from the sky every round, causing dozens of Han soldiers to fall to the ground.They managed to rush to a distance of more than ten battles from Liang Jun, but they were hit by dense bombs and javelins.
A large number of casualties caused the more than a thousand soldiers gathered by Wu Xiexing to disperse in a hurry. Coincidentally, the heavy cavalry of the Liang Army in the rear also killed them, chasing them endlessly.Wu Xie excitedly rode his horse and whipped his whip to slip away to one side again, but was stopped by a warrior in bright armor.This person is Zhang Liao, the leader of Liang Jun.
Wu Xiexing shook the spear in his hand and rushed towards Zhang Liao's face, but was pushed aside by the latter with a light pick of the lance. Almost at the same moment, the four horsemen behind Wu Xiexing stabbed out of his hand at the same time. ride a gun.
Wu Xiexing only noticed Zhang Liao's movements. He didn't care what was behind him, and was instantly pierced into his body by four spear blades. Four Liang Army knights pulled Wu Xiexing's body off the saddle with all their strength. Hanging in mid-air.Zhang Liao had already drawn out his own saber, swung the blade and slashed at Wu Xiexing's neck.The knife flashed, and Wu Xiexing's head fell into Zhang Liao's hands.
Zhang Liao took advantage of the situation and threw the head to one of his own guards. The guard understood, put the head on his lance, and then shouted in Korean while galloping: "Wu Xiexing is dead, Han Those who surrender to our beams will be exempted, and those who continue to resist and flee will be killed without mercy!"
A large group of heavy cavalry from the Liang army followed behind, chasing and killing the fleeing Han soldiers until the sun went down, corpses littered the fields, and blood flowed into rivers.In the end, only a very small number of Han Junbing will be able to escape.
When it was dark, raging bonfires were lit everywhere in Silu City, brightly illuminating the streets and alleys.The corpses of the Han soldiers gathered outside the city gate piled up like a mountain.The corpses and heads of some Ma Hanchen Korean lords were put aside in one place.Nearly a thousand Han soldiers were captured in this battle, including seven or eight Mahan, the king of Chenhan.
Park Heju, Lord of Silu, came to the city gate in person and welcomed Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong, who arrived later, into the city.The palace of Silu City is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and it is full of festive colors. The main hall has been devoted to all of Silu Kingdom, and a celebration banquet has been arranged.
A group of people entered the palace gate, Pu Heju respectfully seated Zhang Liao on the road, and then he and Hua Xiong sat on the side seat.
After drinking for three rounds, Zhang Liao got down to business and asked Pu Heju, "Does King Silu know that Ma Hanchen and Han have been defeated here, but is there still a possibility of Xianyu turning around and resurrecting?"
Chapter 772 Gaya Tsushima
Pu Heju immediately replied to Zhang Liao: "Don't worry, General Zhang, today's battle almost wiped out their entire army. Counting the battle where the imperial army ambushed on the mountain road, they annihilated and killed thousands of soldiers. Ninety percent of their soldiers can fight. As for the remnants and defeated soldiers who fled into the deep mountains and old forests, it is impossible to threaten us any more. Just spend some time to find their villages hidden in various mountains one by one, and capture them Old and young, women and children, if their foundation is broken, they will disappear from this world."
Zhang Liao nodded and said, "Then King Silu can estimate how long it will take and how many people will be needed?"
Park Hyeok pondered for a moment and said, "It only takes [-] imperial troops and the support of our five foreign states, and it can be put down in as little as three months, or as long as half a year. But..." Park Hyeok said This stopped the words.
Zhang Liao raised his hand and offered a glass of wine to Pu Heju before he said: "King Silu has something to say, but it's okay to say it." Park Heju then continued: "However, if they go to the country of Gaya in the south, then The king is powerless."
Zhang Liao laughed and said: "As for Gaya, the imperial court naturally has a way to deal with it. If King Silu really drove them to Gaya and took refuge in King Gaya, then it is also considered a success. Don't worry, King Silu will ask the Holy Majesty for an edict. All over the world, canonize the five lords of the country as the legitimate vassal kings of Daliang. Of course, the land of the feudal state may not be on the site of your original state, but Zhang can guarantee that the arable land of your feudal state must be better than what you are currently cultivating. The land is fertile and vast."
King Silu quickly bowed to Zhang Liao and said, "General Zhang is so thankful."
……
The Gaya Kingdom that Zhang Liao and Park Hyukju spoke of was Bianhan. At this time, Bianhan was different from Mahan and Chenhan. It was originally composed of eight city-states concentrated within a radius of [-] miles. , but now the city-states that all have Gaya after these names have formed a loose kingdom, with their own co-lord Gaya King, who is the king of Jinguan Gaya, one of the eight kingdoms - Jinlushan.
But at the moment, Jin Lushan is not in the capital of the Gaya king, the Jinguan City on the seashore, but retreats to the north along a big river called the Nakdong River with his soldiers, horses and subjects, and is located in Guning Gaya in a dense forest.When they left, they deliberately completely destroyed the walls of Jinguan City.As for why he did this, we have to start from a few months ago.
……
A few months ago, Wei Wen's fleet was fully loaded with Cao Chong's Wei army and came to the sea near Tsushima Island.At this time, the Japanese aborigines on Tsushima Island had been conquered by the Wei army commanded by Cao Pi Sima Yi.
This Tsushima Island is actually divided into two islands, the North and the South. The two islands are separated by fragmented fjords, sea branches, and inland seas. The narrowest strait is only more than [-] battles wide.The geographical terrain of this area is quite similar to that of Ma Han's Bumi Country.
But its area is much smaller than Bumi Country.Even if you look at the entire island, it is only a little over a hundred miles from the southernmost to the northernmost point, and the widest point from east to west is only more than [-] miles away.The fjords and sea branches in the middle are even smaller. Such a small area prevents the defenders from using the criss-crossing waterways to deal with the party with an absolute advantage in strength like Bumi.
Therefore, when Liang Jun landed on Tsushima Island, he found that there was no one on the island, but he found traces of Cao Pijun's visit.Also discovered were two future earthen cities that were built and then hastily burned down.
It turns out that after Cao Pi's army conquered Tsushima Island, they built a new city on the basis of the camps built by the previous two indigenous Japanese. .
At this time, only one member of Cao Chun, General Wei, and two thousand soldiers were stationed on the island.Thousands of Japanese aborigines who had surrendered to Cao Pi on the island were transported to the opposite Yingzhou by boat as slaves.
Cao Chun did a little calculation, and he calculated that there were at least [-] to [-] soldiers and horses on board.And it is impossible for me to stop the mighty Liang Jun fleet with such a small force.It is impossible to back away, because the island is too small, so many soldiers and horses of the opponent can be surrounded and wiped out as long as they spread out to search.
Cao Chun didn't know what to do, so he immediately sent a fast boat to inform Sima Yi who had crossed the strait and arrived at Yingzhou.At this moment, Sima Yi had just gained a firm foothold on the seashore of Yingzhou across the sea, and he was also shocked when he received this letter.He originally thought that the matter would be over if Liang Jun drove them out of the belt, and at most they would withdraw the troops if they brought the entire Haidong Peninsula into Daliang's territory.But I didn't expect that Liang Jun would come to this place in pursuit, and he sailed directly to attack Tsushima Island before he calmed down the entire Haidong Peninsula.
Sima Yi pondered for half an hour, discussed with Cao Pi for a while, and then hurriedly wrote back to Cao Chun, in which he explained in detail what he should do.
After receiving the letter, Cao Chun returned to Gaya with the only ships and soldiers according to Sima Yi's instructions, and burned the two half-built cities.So when Cao Chong, Guo Jia and others landed, Tsushima Island had become an empty island.
When Cao Pi first came to Gaya, Guo Jia and a group of counselors used some means to form an alliance with Gaya.Their methods include buying, making wishes, intimidating and even marrying.The intimidation here is not to use their force to threaten, but to tell Jin Lushan that Daliang will bring the entire Haidong Peninsula under his territory sooner or later, and that the Liang army in Daifang County will go south in a big way sooner or later.At that time, if Jin Lushan relied on Gaya's army to face the enemy alone, there would be no chance of winning. The only way out was to form an alliance with Cao Pi's army and jointly fight against the Liang army that would come at any time.
Jin Sushan didn't want to cause trouble, and was extremely vigilant against this army that came from afar.He was going to send the uninvited guest away after being perfunctory, but he changed his mind when he saw that the other party really had no intention of attacking his own territory, and was moved by his many methods, and finally formed an alliance with Cao Pijun.
Afterwards, the Gaya Kingdom of Jinlushan sent people to send out ships to assist Cao Pi's army in conquering Tsushima Island, and continued to use Gaya as a base to provide support for Cao Pi's army.
Cao Chun had seen Jin Lushan, and truthfully informed that Tsushima Island had fallen into the hands of Liang Jun.This surprised Jin Sushan.At present, Jin Lushan already knew that the Liang army had defeated the Mahanbumi coalition forces and beheaded the Soviet Clan Duli, and he had no doubts about the Liang army's attempt to annex the entire Haidong Peninsula and eventually conquer the Gaya Kingdom.He has divided his troops and built fortifications in various important and dangerous places on land, ready to hold on.But he didn't expect Liang Jun to capture Tsushima Island directly from the sea instead of going by land.This is equivalent to pointing a sharp knife at the softest belly of Gaya.
Jin Lushan hurriedly asked Cao Chun, "Then how should we defend against the enemy?"
Cao Chun sneered and said, "King Gaya, don't worry, the Prime Minister has given a certain plan."
Chapter 773
The spring of the tenth year of Xiuwu.That is when Zhang Liao's main force and Hua Xiong joined forces in Duoluo City to attack the remaining coalition forces of Chen Han and Ma Han.On the field near the north shore of the south island of Tsushima, there are military tents and camps everywhere.The bay between the North Island and the North Island was full of warships from the Weiwen Fleet.
At a higher location on the coast of the bay, a large number of soldiers of Cao Chong's army were sweating profusely to build a new city. Some soldiers even set fire to open up the wilderness. Thick smoke billowed into the sky, covering the sky and the sun. It can be seen from the North Island nearly a hundred miles away.
Cao Chong's army has nearly [-] people including horses and men. It is far from enough to rely on Wei Wen's fleet to travel thousands of miles by sea to transport food and grass, so he must cultivate some food and grass by himself.At this time, Cao Chong, Guo Jia, Zhang He, Wei Wen and the others were taking a walk on the beach, which was their only way of pastime on this island.
This group of people was chatting, but Cao Chong asked Guo Jia something serious: "Minister Guo, how long will it take us to cross the sea to Yingzhou? Will we be able to cross the sea after the city is built?" If time delays for a long time, I am afraid that Cao Pi will gain a firm foothold in Yingzhou and use the population of the Japanese to retrain a large number of soldiers and horses, and then it will be difficult for us to exterminate them."
Guo Jiawei pondered and said: "Returning to the king, I thought that in addition to building this new city, we also need to hoard enough food and grass materials for turnover before we can cross the sea. Although the current Daliang court provides us with food and grass supplies, but from Qingzhou Crossing the sea to Dongqingzhou, and then from Dongqingzhou to Yingzhou. Crossing thousands of miles across the sea, it is too risky to supply food and grass supplies by means of replenishment as needed. Therefore, during the autumn harvest this year, our newly reclaimed farmland can be harvested We embarked on an expedition to Yingzhou. The grain we harvested at that time, plus the grain and grass transported from the rear in the past year. Even if the supply from the rear is interrupted, it is enough for us to turn around for a year."
After hearing Guo Jia's words, Cao Chong muttered, "Wait for the island's autumn this year? But isn't this time too long?"
Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty Wei, don't worry. I'm sure that after Cao Pi crosses Haiyingzhou, he will definitely build a city in the vicinity of the seaside just like us, and then try to conquer the whole of Yingzhou. So we just need to send troops and horses from time to time. General Wei Wen's court ships crossed the sea, constantly attacking their cities and villages, making them exhausted, and can delay the time for them to gain a foothold in Yingzhou. In addition, we have to spend nearly a year Cooperate with the imperial army to take down the Gaya country across the northern sea, which will not only eliminate our worries, but also give us more backing."
Hearing what Guo Jia said, the doubts on Cao Chong's face were wiped away.Zhang Yun behind them looked at the sky and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, it's getting late, let's go back to the big tent, the servants should have prepared dinner by now."
……
The sky was getting darker and darker, and even the bright moon, which was originally hanging in the sky, hid in the dark clouds.The soldiers in Cao Chongjun's temporary camp all fell asleep.At this moment, shadows of ships appeared on the pitch-black sea.These ships did not have sails, only two rows of long oars on the side of the ship fluttered up and down, pushing the ships forward silently and quickly.
At this time, there were many soldiers of Cao Chong's army patrolling the coast in twos and threes at night.But since there was no moonlight, it was impossible for them to see these speeding ships clearly.Even when they were more than fifty battles away from the coast, no one found them.
It wasn't until some of the ships were more than ten battles away from the coast that they were discovered by soldiers of Cao Chong's army who happened to be patrolling here.They shouted loudly: "There are ships in the sea! There are unknown ships!"
Immediately afterwards, they panicked and shot the loud arrows in their hands into the air.The loud arrow soared into the air with a scream and tail flame, which could be noticed by the other sentries within two hundred battles nearby.Soldiers on the enemy ship jumped into the knee-deep sea water and ran quickly towards the shore.They fired bows, crossbows and flying sickles at the same time, and threw them at the shouting soldiers of Cao Chong's army.One person was unable to dodge in time, and was killed on the spot by a flying scythe piercing his forehead.The other two ran back, shouting loudly as they ran: "Enemy attack, enemy attack! An enemy is coming to attack!"
These enemy soldiers are the coalition generals of Cao Chun and Gaya, and the ships they take are also provided by the Gaya Kingdom.This Gaya is more proficient in the art of navigation than the Mahan Bumi country. Most of their ships are galley dhows, and there are two types of ships that are very special.
One of these ships, known as the Turtle Ship, is as wide as a zhanyu.It is equipped with double decks, the top deck is like a turtle shell, and there is a circle of flying ladders around the second deck.These flying ladders can be pulled up and lowered. In addition to being used to connect to the side jumping gang, when fully pulled up, they can also be used as scull shields to tightly protect the soldiers on the second deck.There is also a kind of loach boat, the shape of which is similar to Mahanbumi's shuttle boat. It is not made of single wood, but it is larger than the shuttle boat, and the hull is four feet wide.But it is almost as light as a shuttle boat, and can take double rows of oarsmen.There is also space in the cabin for sundries.
At the moment, a large number of Gaya warships rushed to the shore or on the beach in several other locations, and a large number of soldiers and horses rushed to the land of Tsushima Island, killing them in depth.In addition to infantry, there are also war cavalry.For this sneak attack, Cao Chun took out half of his only two hundred tiger and leopard riders.
Seeing the signal from their companions, two Sentinels of Cao Chong rushed towards the place where the arrow rose, but a large black shadow suddenly appeared in front of them. Mao estimated that there were more than a dozen people there.One of Cao Chong's soldiers thought he was one of his own, and hurriedly shouted: "You are running in the wrong direction, the arrow is in the northwest."
Before the words fell, the other party had already rushed in front of them, and the two of them realized that something was wrong, but it was too late, the other party raised a knife and dropped a gun, stabbing them to death in an instant.
Almost at the same time, a dozen of Gaya's loach clippers rushed into the bay full of warships.Amidst the exclamation of the soldiers of Liang Jun on the ship, they slammed into the warships of Wei Wen's fleet one after another with a loud bang.
Of course, their volume is very small compared to Liang Jun's warship, so it is impossible to do this to sink Liang Jun's warship.They all had nail cones on their bows, and the entire ship was nailed to Liang Jun's warship under the rapid impact.
Immediately, the Gaya sailors on the ship jumped into the icy sea water with a plop, and the person who carried them into the water lastly threw a torch that had been prepared a long time ago onto the pile of igniters piled up on the bow.The flames suddenly rose into the sky, and the tongues of flames licked towards the Liang Jun ships nailed by them.
In a certain Cao Chong army camp, the generals who sensed the abnormality were urgently gathering the soldiers.A group of iron cavalry came galloping at this moment, and they jumped over the low fence around the camp with a single leap.
Chapter 774 Two-pronged approach
Caochong Barracks on Tsushima Island at night.The iron cavalry jumped over the low fence one after another, and rushed towards a group of Cao Chong soldiers who were gathering.
The generals of this group of soldiers looked up and found that the equipment of these iron cavalry was very familiar, it was their tiger and leopard cavalry.But he didn't know why these cavalry were rushing towards them. The moment he hesitated, these cavalry rushed into the crowd.
Under the slashing of the saber and the collision of the cavalry, these Cao Chong soldiers who were caught off guard were killed in large numbers.A large number of soldiers were decapitated by the saber, and the body was cut open, and the iron hooves of the horses trampled over the knocked down soldiers.The quick-responsive Cao Chong soldiers had swarmed to the surroundings, and their generals had been trampled into a ball of flesh.
But these tiger and leopard riders of Cao Chun did not pursue them, but lit the torches they carried with them, and threw them one by one to the various military tents and luggage storage places in the camp.The military tents were set on fire one by one, and the camp gradually fell into a sea of flames.
Guo Jia was woken up by the noise outside the tent in his sleep. He pinched himself, and felt the pain was definitely not a dream. Then he immediately realized that his side was attacked by the enemy.He turned over in shock and sat up. Just as he was about to call out his soldiers, Zhang He had already rushed in, and hurriedly said, "Minister of the State, the enemy soldiers are attacking!"
Guo Jia slapped himself and said: "Why is this so confused? Cao Pi's army will retreat without a fight, and there must be some plot. This should have been counted. Hey..." He suddenly stopped his tone and said in a hurry : "Junyi, hurry up and protect the king's safety, and someone will organize troops to fight back in person."
Zhang He said: "President of the country, don't panic, there are not many soldiers and horses coming, just more sudden attacks, which makes our army defenseless. The king originally had his personal guards to look after him, and so-and-so sent his own soldiers to reinforce. Another certain Tiger and Leopard Cavalry have been dispatched to fight back against the sneak attacking thieves."
Guo Jia nodded and said: "That's very good, then you will go out with me to have a look."
Zhang He and Guo Jia went outside the tent one after the other, and surrounded by a large number of war cavalry, they galloped towards the camp hundreds of battles away.
At this time, the moon has flashed out of the dark clouds again, and the moonlight spreads a layer of silver on the sea.Those Gaya troops who attacked Tsushima Island, Cao Chunbing's soldiers stopped as soon as they were ready, and began to evacuate.Buqi boarded all kinds of ships one after another, and went to the deep sea amidst the rolling white waves.
Cao Chun's tiger and leopard riders, who were the last dozen or so evacuated on the shore, galloped towards the beach. Behind them, hundreds of tiger and leopard riders from Cao Chong's army were chasing after them.
These cavalry rushed directly into the beach, and the sea water splashed in all directions, making the water surface seem to be boiling.There were still three Gaya troop carriers waiting for them, and the Gaya oarsmen on board kept urging them nervously: "Quick, quick!"
It was impossible for Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry to gallop directly into the cabin, so they had to get off their horses and lead the horses carefully up the gangway to the boat.
After they boarded more than ten riders and left the two boats, the tiger and leopard riders behind Cao Chong had already killed them.In an instant, they killed five enemy cavalry who were still waiting to board the boat.Seeing that the situation was not good, the last remaining Gaya warship was about to slip away, throwing the men and horses who were going along the gangway into the sea water.The Cao Chun tiger and leopard rider who fell into the sea cursed and struggled to stand up, but was thrown down in the sea again by the enemy cavalry, and was trampled underwater by the iron hoof.
The oarsmen on the Gaya boat paddled hard, paddling into the deep sea desperately.They have to fight for the enemy to enter the deep sea before catching up to escape.But with a scream, their ship seemed to be anchored.The oarsman sitting at the end of the cabin was pierced through the head by the lance, while the other two lances were stuck into the side of the ship.The whole boat was dragged by two tigers and leopards, so it was naturally difficult to move forward.
The oarsmen were terrified and jumped into the sea one after another, but before they had time, they were beheaded by the chasing cavalry one after another. If it wasn't for a general shouting to keep alive, they might have been beheaded to death.
At this time, Guo Jia and Zhang He were already checking the attacked barracks.The barracks are full of broken limbs, burning military tents and baggage, and howling wounded soldiers.Seeing this miserable scene, Guo Jia frowned and ordered: "We will report back after we estimate how much our army has lost!"
Soon a general came to report: "I would like to report to the Prime Minister that the enemy's sneak attack caused 430 casualties, 22 horses, 220 camps and more than [-] stones of grain and grass."
Zhang Yun asked in a deep voice, "But Cao Pi's army came across the sea to do it?"
The general responded immediately: "General, there are indeed tiger and leopard cavalry of Cao Pi's army among the enemy army, but there are still many infantry who are not dressed in Cao Pi's army, and they don't seem to be from the Central Plains."
Guo Jia said meaningfully, and at this time a voice rang out: "They are indeed not only Cao Pi's army, but also from the direction of their escape, they did not come from Yingzhou in the south."
Guo Jia and Zhang Yun followed the reputation, and it turned out to be Wei Wen.Guo Jia quickly asked: "General Wei, I heard that the bandit army also attacked the military port. I don't know how much the court's navy lost?"
While talking, Wei Wen had already come to them. Hearing Guo Jia's question, he waved his hand and sighed, "Don't mention it, we were attacked by the enemy and burned more than ten ships, with more than a dozen casualties. Some of the ships were ocean-going delta Great sailing boat, it hurts a certain heart. Fortunately, the wind is not strong tonight, and there are not many fireboats from them. Otherwise, the fleet may be seriously injured tonight."
Guo Jia nodded and said: "The loss is not a big one. It's a blessing in disguise. This time, the minister miscalculated, otherwise the court would not have suffered such a loss. However, just now General Wei said that they fled to the north. It is Cao Pi's army and the Gaya Kingdom united."
Wei Wen replied: "That's right. Those ships that attacked us are by no means common ships in the Central Plains. They must be from the Gaya Kingdom at the southernmost tip of the Haidong Peninsula."
