Chapter 524: Stretched (Ask for Subscription!) )
…
Artillery fire continued.
Arrows rained down.
Although there are shield soldiers to protect Liu Huiniang and Li Cun's mother and son, there are still artillery fire and arrows that do not have eyes, so from time to time there are stray arrows and cannonballs flying.
Several times, the stray arrows flew over grazing Liu Huiniang and Li Cun's bodies.
And that's not even the most thrilling.
Once, a boulder thrown by a coalition catapult almost hit Liu Huiniang and Li Cun.
But despite this, Liu Huiniang still took Li Cun to sit on the city wall and advance and retreat with the soldiers defending the city.
Although Liu Huiniang and Li Cun couldn't help at all, and spent a lot of shield soldiers to protect them, but because they were on the walled city, the morale of the soldiers of the Liangshan army was unprecedentedly high!
Taking advantage of such morale, Lin Chong, Zhang Qing, Suo Chao, and Yang Zhen led thousands of cavalry out of the city, and then rushed left and right, killing thousands of coalition troops in a battle, which also made the coalition army's siege stagnant and temporarily retreated, giving the Liangshan soldiers defending the city a little time to breathe.
Pity!
The good times did not last long, and the next day another 50,000 Goryeo troops marched to the city of Seoul.
After this, the offensive of the Goryeo and Taephon coalition forces became more intense.
Seoul is in danger again......
……
Yanjing City, Long Live Palace.
Li Yan was silent for a long time before asking, "Han Shizhong, why haven't they gone to rescue Seoul?" ”
Xu Guanzhong replied: "Li Jun came back this morning with news that they had landed at Mokpo Port yesterday. ”
Hearing that Li Jun was on the land of Mokpo Harbor, Li Yan's brows were furrowed!
Mokpo Harbor is almost to the southernmost point, and it will take five days to land from there and return to Seoul at the earliest, and it is still unblocked.
Seeing Li Yan frowning, Xu Guanzhong explained: "Li Jun and they have no choice, the Incheon Port, Gunsan Port, and Masan Port along the way were all occupied by the Goryeo Army and the Taefeng Army, if it weren't for the more than 2,000 sailors and more than 1,000 sailors led by Ruan Xiaowu, Mokpo Port would have been occupied by the Goryeo Army and the Taephong Army." ”
Hearing Li Jun say this, Li Yan's heart immediately "gadeng", and then asked: "The Goryeo army and the Taifeng army bypassed Seoul and attacked our hinterland?" ”
Xu Guanzhong slurred: "Yes...... Lelang County has been greatly damaged, and there are ......"
Seeing Xu Guanzhong, who had always been clean and neat in his speech and affairs, Li Yan knew that something was wrong, and then asked, "What else?" ”
Xu Guanzhong sighed, and then said: "The Goryeo Army and the Taifeng Army, especially the latter, have corrupt military discipline, and they do everything evil in burning, killing and looting in Lelang County, and the people have suffered a great disaster this time...... Moreover, the Goryeo Army and the Taifeng Army hated our officials in Shuibo Liangshan very much, and once our officials were caught by them, most of them would be tortured to death by lighting the sky lanterns and boiling oil. ”
After Li Yan heard this, he said coldly: "If I don't take revenge, I, Li Yan, swear not to be a person!" ”
After Li Yan's mood calmed down a bit, Xu Guanzhong continued: "According to the latest news from the summary, there are currently no less than 400,000 Goryeo, Taifeng, and Japanese allied troops who have invaded the border, and there are nearly 200,000 Goryeo and Taifeng troops besieging Seoul alone. ”
Li Yan asked, "So much?" Then Han Shizhong can't save Seoul? ”
Xu Guanzhong said truthfully: "The disparity in strength is too great. ”
Li Yan thought for a while and said, "Then transfer the fourth box to help." ”
Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said, "It's still not enough." ”
Li Yan asked: "How many more troops do you have to transfer?" ”
Xu Guanzhong said in a deep voice: "At least 100,000 troops have to be transferred. ”
Li Yan asked: "Do you have to transfer so many people?" ”
Xu Guanzhong said: "If you don't use the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai to exterminate the Goryeo, Taifeng, and Japanese coalition forces, this battle may turn into a tug-of-war......
Li Yan's face was very bad, and he said, "If you send another 100,000 horses to help, what will Yan Yun do here?" ”
The soldiers and horses that Li Yan now has:
The first, second, third, and fourth carriages were about 30,000 or 40,000 horses per carriage, and the total number of people in these four compartments was about 150,000.
First Army Sequence.
The eleven armies of the infantry army are: the Jie Fu Army, Han Shizhong's Army, Yue Feijun, Wu Juejun, Liu Qijun, Zhang Xianjun, Wang Yanjun, Liu Minjun, Fang Xuedu's Army, Li Yijun, and Fang Qifo's Army, each army has about 13,000 people, a total of about 150,000 people.
The sixteen armies of the Ma Army are: the first battalion, the Jie Fu Ma Army, the Tiefutu, the Left Army of the Kidnappers, the Right Army of the Kidnappers, the Volunteer Army, and the ten horse armies scattered among the ten infantry armies such as Yue Fei's army, with a total of about 70,000 people.
In addition, special forces such as the White Army, the Secret Special Army, the Shenji Army, and the Amphibious Army, as well as special departments such as the General Staff, the Political Department, the Intelligence Department, the Medical Army, and the Communications Army.
The First Army numbered about 260,000 men.
In total, Li Yan currently has a total of more than 400,000 regular troops.
In addition, Li Yan also has 100,000 elite reserves (which can be converted or replenished with regular troops at any time).
Not to mention the first, second, third, and fourth compartments, in addition to the fourth compartment, the other three compartments have already participated in the war - the first and third compartments have now been damaged by nearly half, which is a semi-disabled condition, and the situation of the second compartment is better, but there are also nearly 10,000 horses and horses.
The key now is not the first, second, third, and fourth compartments, but how many men and horses will be transferred from the first army series to help?
At present, Li Yan has transferred nearly 50,000 horses from Han Shizhong's army, Fang Qifo's army, and Fang Xuedu's army to help.
If another 100,000 horses are sent back to help.
Then there are only more than 100,000 horses left on Yanyun's side, how to hold Yanyun who is about to be besieged by the Jin army, the Song army, and the Western Xia army?
It's too stretched.
To be honest, Li Yan already regretted that his hometown was not stable, so he came out to wave.
Knowing that this was the case, Li Yan must have found a way to seal Goryeo and Tai first, or at least seal Tai first.
In addition, Li Yan has one more thing to review - his diplomacy is so bad that he doesn't even have an ally, and he is surrounded by enemies.
But—
Now there is no point in regretting and reviewing, the key is how to solve the problem in front of you?
Suddenly!
Liang Hongyu came in and reported: "Governor Dadu, General Wang Yan has sent back news, and the Song envoy has asked to see him." ”
Considering that receiving and sending intelligence was very important, and if he was not careful, he would be exploited by the enemy, Li Yan simply handed over this task to Liang Hongyu and Fang Baihua, and the location of receiving and sending information was placed in the garrison of the Liberation Army.
Hearing that the Song envoy came to see him, Li Yan didn't think much about it, so he said, "Kill it." ”
"This ......"
Liang Hongyu hesitated.
Seeing Liang Hongyu hesitate, Li Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Who is the Song envoy?" ”
Liang Hongyu said: "Cai You, Wang Qing, Ma Kuo." ”
Li Yan's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said, "Zhao Ji is quite good at choosing people...... Let Wang Yan send someone to send them over. ”
