The next day, when the Goryeo army sieges the city, King Goryeo felt anxious because he finally realized the strength of the Chinese army.
This kind of strength is not a comparison of troops, but the overall quality of the army and the equipment of soldiers. Of course, the equipment that caused huge casualties to the siege soldiers was also the equipment that defended the city.
The giant crossbow, an unprecedented invention, caused the soldiers who siege the city to fall in rows.
The only thing that is heard about is that the lethality it brings is also amazing.
When more than 5,000 casualties were reported, King Goryeo was a little angry and embarrassed. He found that he seemed to have nowhere to be exerted in the face of such a defender.
At night, the soldiers in the Goryeo Barracks were sleeping soundly, and suddenly the fire broke out on all sides.
Xiangping's army rushed in.
The Grain and Grain Camp caught fire, and the Goryeo King Camp caught fire.
The Goryeo soldiers woke up and the Xiangping army quickly retreated.
Their purpose today is not to attack the Goryeo King Camp, but to attract troops by attacking the Goryeo King Camp and burn the food and grass clean.
The next afternoon, the King of Goryeo could not sit still, and the army's food and grass could only support it for three days.
The envoy sent to the Zuoxian King's barracks outside the city of Beiping has not yet responded. If the food and grass cannot arrive tomorrow, it will be dangerous even if the troops retreat. They will encounter a grain shortage, because it will take five days to retreat to the nearest city in Goryeo.
If the food and grass of Zuo Xianwang have not arrived tomorrow morning, they will withdraw their troops immediately.
Fortunately, good news came as it was approaching the evening, and the food and grass were on the way to transport it.
But another bad news came, and the grain was ambushed by the Xiangping defenders, who were transporting the grain to the city on their way.
The King of Goryeo was furious and immediately gathered a large army to seize the food. These foods were their life-saving food. No matter how much the price they paid, they would take back the foods.
When it was dark, the Goryeo army was about to catch up with Xiangping's grain protection team.
This is a plain, and it is impossible for the enemy to ambush the enemy. King Goryeo is quite familiar with the art of war, and he expected that there would be no ambush in this terrain.
The terrain here is a large depression, and Xiangping's grain protection team is walking west on the high slope not far away. In another hour, they can enter the city.
King Goryeo ordered the army to pursue at full speed.The cavalry would catch up in a moment, and the large group of people had entered the depression.Even if there is an ambush, King Goryeo was not afraid, because they came out in full swing this time.
A loud bang came, and King Goryeo looked at the sound.
Huge waves surged down here, and the army quickly soaked in the water. It was difficult for soldiers wearing soldiers to survive in the water.
So countless soldiers took off their armor, threw down their weapons, and swam in high places. There was a high slope to the left of the depression.
After being trapped, King Goryeo realized that all this might be the enemy's trick.
But everything was over. When King Goryeo led soldiers without weapons and armor to the shore of the high slope, an ambush broke out, and bows and arrows and crossbows shot in densely.
But it was Xiangping's general Le Jin who led his troops to ambush here.
King Goryeo was caught in a crossbow, and the personal soldiers in front blocked it, but the crossbow still penetrated the King Goryeo's abdomen.
Seeing that the situation was not good, King Goryeo simply treated the wound.
Lead a few soldiers to break out of a hole and retreat to the barracks.
The remaining soldiers without soldiers were like a bunch of targets, ruthlessly driven to death by the Xiangping Army. The soldiers who had not yet reached the shore were hiding far away in the water. Some soldiers saw that this side was also dangerous and swam around the opposite side.
King Goryeo endured the pain and fled to the camp. It was dark at that time. He was about to reach the gate of the village. He heard a gong and a group of soldiers and horses came out. Under the light, it was Dong Heng and Wang Zhen, the governors of Xiangyang.
It turned out that Xiangping generals Zang Ba, Sun Li, Dong Heng, Wang Zhen and other generals were ordered by Xiahou Yuan and Zhou Yu. Taking advantage of the orders of King Gaoli to lead heavy troops out, they attacked the camp and rushed to kill the soldiers guarding the village, and kept Dong Heng and Wang Zhen to lead their troops to guard the village, and Zang Ba and Sun Li led their troops to chase and kill the deserters.
The King of Goryeo did not dare to fight and fled in the direction of Goryeo.The troops of Dong Heng and Wang Zhen rushed for a while, but did not chase them and returned to the camp.
King Goryeo fled while collecting the remaining troops and rushed to the Xiangshui River. He was about to cross the river, but he saw the four-sided army rising up, but the five generals Xiahou Yuan, Wen Chou, Chen Tai, Zang Ba and Sun Li led their generals Goryeo to tightly surrounded them.
The Goryeo soldiers were no longer in a fight and were killed and squeezed by the elite soldiers of Xiahou Yuan's army. Many soldiers took off their armor, threw away their weapons, and fled from the river.Instantly.Goryeo soldiers trampled on each other and countless people fell into the water.
King Jin Wei and Liang Fei of Goryeo led their personal soldiers to sacrifice their lives to protect them and found a small boat to escape the river.The remaining soldiers and generals were all killed by Xiahou Yuan's soldiers.
It turned out that Zhou Yu saw that King Goryeo had strong troops and had little chance of defeating the front line.
On the first day of the Goryeo attack, the Goryeo soldiers made a lot of efforts and all the soldiers were tired.
Zhou Yu expected that the Goryeo King would be relaxed in defense, so he asked Xiahou Yuan to raise the troops from Hecheng to sneak attack the Goryeo Barracks, sending half of the troops to attack the Goryeo Kings camp, and attracting heavy troops, but he led half of the troops to burn the food and grass of the Goryeo Kings camp.
The next day, Zhou Yu saw that the Goryeo soldiers did not retreat, and he expected that they would not have time to transport grain from Goryeo, so he had to send someone to King Zuo Xian to borrow grain.
Zhou Yu sent cavalry to ask the Goryeo messenger to rush to Beiping, but on his way back, he robbed and killed the Goryeo messenger, so that King Goryeo could not send troops to respond, so he calmly seized the food and supplies of King Zuo Xian to support him.
Zhou Yu also expected that King Goryeo would suffer heavy troops to seize the food and grass when he heard that there was a loss of food and grass.
The soldiers who seized the grain deliberately let a few people escape back, but the soldiers who seized the grain changed to the grain-protecting army to lead the heavy troops of Goryeo to the depression and flooded the river, which made the heavy troops of Goryeo suddenly lose their combat effectiveness.
Zhou Yu has been in Xiangping for a long time and is familiar with the surrounding environment.
He expected that after the Goryeo soldiers were flooded, they would run to the high slope on the left, so he ordered Le Jin to lead his troops to ambush and kill the escaped soldiers.
Zang Ba, Sun Li, Dong Heng and Wang Zhen were also asked to lead their troops to attack the Goryeo barracks. At this time, all the heavy troops of Goryeo were robbed of grain, and there were very few soldiers guarding the barracks, so they captured the camps in one fell swoop.
After capturing the camp, Zang Ba and Sun Li went to Xiangshui as planned to meet with Xiahou Yuan, Wen Chou and other troops, waiting for the defeated troops to come and intercept them.
Zhou Yu led his troops to defend the city in the city, which was really a complete plan, so the battle was successful.
In this battle, the second prince Li Shan, the third prince Li Shui, the generals Chen Ji and Chen Xiang all died in the chaos. The eldest princess Li Bing was captured. The 400,000 troops of King Goryeo fled back to Goryeo. Only 150,000 were left. The vitality was severely damaged and there was no power to attack Xiangping.
The troubles of Donghu have been resolved.
Jin Xuan was overjoyed when he heard the news and ordered Zhou Yu to lead Sun Li, Dong Heng and Wang Zhen to lead his troops to garrison Xiangping.Xiahou Yuan, Wen Chou, Chen Tai, Le Jin, Zang Ba and Dong Heng led 120,000 troops to aid Peiping.
This kind of strength is not a comparison of troops, but the overall quality of the army and the equipment of soldiers. Of course, the equipment that caused huge casualties to the siege soldiers was also the equipment that defended the city.
