Chapter 1152: Defeating Goryeo
And what about Goryeo?
When he left Goryeo, there were a total of 80,000 soldiers, and after more than half a year of war, Goryeo was only in his early 60,000s. In this way, the number of soldiers assembled in Liaodong Town was five times that of Goryeo. And it is five times the soldiers who are well fed every day and have high morale.
On the other hand, the morale of the Goryeo soldiers is no longer as strong as it used to be. Because they suddenly found that Liaodong Town was very difficult to gnaw, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were different, they had been attacking for two months, and they had not even attacked the city wall.
One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.
Today, the morale of Goryeo has begun to slump.
Such a five-fold disparity in contrast, and Goryeo would never have expected that Da Ming would suddenly rush out of Liaodong Town and take the initiative to attack them. If this can't beat Goryeo, Ma Fang can die.
If Luo Xin is put aside, this Ma Fang is definitely the military god of the Ming Dynasty, and he is even more powerful than Qi Jiguang. It's just that when Qi Jiguang became famous, Ma Fang was already old.
However, the veteran is out of the horse, a top two. Ma Fang can't go into battle to kill the enemy. But the command, especially the command of such a large-scale battle, is definitely the first person in the Ming Dynasty. Even Luo Xin is not as good, let alone Qi Jiguang, who has fought with the Japanese Kou.
Luo Xin rode on his horse and said lightly: "Those are the two military towns that the Ming Dynasty deliberately gave up. ”
"Deliberately giving up?" Tucker's face was full of disbelief.
"Hmm!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "If you don't give up the two military towns, how can you lead the Goryeo people deeper?" Let them stretch the front? Only by luring Goryeo deep can they catch them all. Otherwise, even if they were defeated, they would all be able to run back to Goryeo, which would not have dealt much damage to Goryeo at all. What I want is that after this war, the strength of the Goryeo Kingdom has been greatly reduced, and for at least twenty years, I will not dare to step into the border of the Ming Dynasty again. ”
"Hiss......"
Tuckers gasped as he remembered that Luo Xin had divided his eight thousand cavalry into eight units and set up ambushes along the way. If this had not led Goryeo deep and had not plunged, there would have been no way to set up an ambush. If the Ming Dynasty can really defeat Goryeo, and Goryeo really starts to flee, these 8,000 cavalry are the eight life-locks!
There was a hint of horror in Tuckers' gaze as he looked at Luo Xin.
Originally, when Goryeo attacked Daming, seeing Daming defeated again and again, they Jurchens felt that Daming seemed to be no longer good. are thinking about whether to also go out and bite Daming. However, when they thought of Luo Xin, the god of the Ming Army, they were a little hesitant in their hearts. Because they had seen Luo Xin's majesty in the grassland with their own eyes, unlike Goryeo, who had only heard of it. As long as Luo Xin did not go to war in person and was not defeated, the Jurchens really did not dare to send troops to the Ming Dynasty.
Now I know from Luo Xin's mouth that this is a plan laid out by Luo Xin more than half a year ago, to lure Goryeo deeper and annihilate all of Goryeo.
"It is worthy of being the god of the Ming Army!"
"Let's set up an ambush here!"
Luo Xin pointed to a forest road, and then entered the forest with a thousand cavalry. A team of scouts was sent to Liaodong Town to inform Ma Fang. And they began to set up camp and bury pots to cook.
Liaodong Town.
Ma Fang got Luo Xin's letter, and her face showed excitement. Luo Xin's letter told him that everything was ready. The rest is up to Ma Fang.
In other words, there is no need for Ma Fang to contact Luo Xin, as long as he is responsible for defeating Goryeo. As for when to send troops to defeat, Luo Xin doesn't matter, and there is no need to Luo Xin at the same time, Luo Xin naturally has scouts to monitor Goryeo.
Ma Fang has been waiting for this day for a long time, and now if he wants to defeat Goryeo, it really shouldn't be too simple. Now the Ming Dynasty has secretly assembled 300,000 troops, five times the number of Goryeo. Moreover, he had lost a row before and was captured two military towns, which made Goryeo think that the Ming would never take the initiative to attack, and the Ming would only defend. Therefore, they would never have thought that Daming would rob the camp.
You know, they have been fighting with Daming for more than half a year, Daming has been defending, when defense has become a habit, who would think that Daming would take the initiative to attack?
The last darkness before dawn.
The Goryeo camp was snoring, and the soldiers guarding it were napping incessantly.
Outside the camp, in the dark night, the swarthy Ming soldiers were gently approaching. In front were 5,000 cavalry, and behind the cavalry were 250,000 Ming troops. Ma Fang brought out almost all the soldiers in Liaodong Town, and he was desperate to defeat Goryeo completely, otherwise Luo Xin's ambush would be useless.
The feet of the horses were covered with grass, and the horses had kernels in their mouths, and the five thousand horsemen led the horses, tiptoeing close to the camp, and a mile behind them was the army of 250,000.
"Whoosh ......"
Arrows drifted through the night sky, and the Goryeo soldiers guarding it died silently. The 5,000 cavalry quickly approached the camp, and when they came to the camp, they quietly opened the camp door, and the 5,000 cavalry turned over and got on their horses, and then each of them lit a rocket, and with an order, the 5,000 rockets pierced the night sky and fell to the tents of the Goryeo camp.
"Boom ......"
The flames soared into the air, and in an instant, they spread into a sea of fire.
"Kill ......"
The 5,000 cavalry crashed into the Goryeo camp like a torrent of steel, and the Goryeo soldiers had just come out of their tents and were chopped to death before they could see their surroundings clearly.
"Kill ......"
Two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers poured towards the Goryeo camp like a tidal wave. At this time, Goryeo, who was completely defenseless, was already stunned. Under the firelight, they only saw the boundless Ming soldiers rushing towards them, and they were only defeated by the Ming army after a short period of resistance.
The number is not as good as the Ming Dynasty, and there is no preparation in the heart, and it is really defeated.
The army in the early 60,000s abandoned the camp and fled in less than two quarters of an hour. The 5,000 cavalry of the Ming Dynasty pursued closely behind, Ma Fang left 20,000 troops scattered to pursue the Goryeo soldiers, and the remaining 230,000 soldiers continued to pursue Goryeo behind the 5,000 cavalry.
Now there are less than 50,000 people left in Goryeo, and in the battle of just two quarters of an hour, thousands of people died directly, and the remaining thousands of people are like flies without heads, unable to distinguish the direction of the escape, at this time they are being searched everywhere by 20,000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and the result is also a dead end.
Moreover, on the way to escape, the 5,000 cavalry of the Ming Dynasty continued to harvest the slow-running Goryeo infantry in the back, so that the Goryeo infantry continued to suffer casualties, and there were also Goryeo infantry fleeing to both sides, resulting in fewer and fewer Goryeo people fleeing the Yalu River.
"Dashuai, we can't escape like this anymore!" A Goryeo general urged his horse to come to the marshal and said: "If we continue to flee like this, we will be dropped all the way by the Ming Dynasty, and when we flee back to the country, there will be few soldiers left." ”
