Chapter 603: Killing Might, Flying Tiger Takes the City
(Ask for commuter pass support!) )
Li Liang saw Lin Wei walking out of the city, and said to Li Jing with some concern: "Dashuai, is the eleventh smash too cruel, I am afraid that it will arouse the fear of the Goguryeo people." ”
"Do you think they can't take Jian'an City?" Li Jing asked with a smile.
"It's difficult, the Korean army has 5,000 people, but there are only 3,000 soldiers, and 2,000 are auxiliaries. Although there are only 1,000 soldiers in Jian'an City, the young and strong people in the city help defend the city, and it is difficult for them to take it. Or, transfer other soldiers and horses to cooperate? ”
Li Jing shook his head: "I also know that they are difficult to capture, but I want to use this to shock Gao Zhaokang and kill the emotions of the Goguryeo people, so that they can truly understand the status they are in." Even if eleven is killed, it is only five hundred people killed. If 500 people are exchanged for the awe of the Goguryeo people, I think it is worth it. When they are defeated again, I will send other troops to attack. In any case, within three days, I will take the city of Jian'an. ”
Lin Wu led the silver spear to break directly into the camp of the Korean army that had just retreated, and loudly announced to Gao Zhaokang and others that Li Jing was dissatisfied with their attack and slack, and ordered Gao Zhaokang and other officers above the command to personally execute the 100 people in the forefront of the whole army's attack with knives.
After listening to the military order, Gao Zhaokang's face was extremely blue. But Lin Wu looked at him coldly and didn't pay attention to his arguments at all. Gao Bing saw the contemptuous look in Lin Wu's eyes, and stepped forward to pull Gao Zhaokang back.
In any case, this is a military order issued by Li Jing. If Gao Zhaokang refuses to carry it out, it means that he will not obey the military order, and Lin Wu can even directly kill him.
Thousands of reluctances, the last Gao Zhaokang is still with a group of officers. and put all the hundred men of Nadu to death. Kill the Nadus. Gao Zhaokang could feel the other soldiers looking at them. Full of mistrust.
Gao Zhaokang dropped the blood-stained knife and wanted to go back to the tent to rest.
Lin Wu stopped him, took out a military order again, and read it out in public.
"Eleven Killing?" Gao Zhaokang's face directly turned pale as paper this time, and if five thousand people couldn't take Jian'an City, they had to implement the eleven smash law. Did Li Jing want to kill them directly, otherwise how could he have issued such a military order. He wanted to go to Li Jing to theorize, but Lin Wu's Silver Spear Army had already surrounded them.
The most rear. Gao Zhaokang led the North Korean army to attack Jian'an City again, and there were eleven smash kills, and this time the attack of the North Korean army was obviously much stronger. From night to the evening of the next day, the North Korean army attacked the city of Jian'an again and again, and even went a little crazy. Under the law of eleven killing, no one knows if Lu Dao will draw the dead lot if he fails, although there is only a chance of one percent, but no one dares to bet.
However, despite the efforts of the North Korean army this time, they still failed to capture the city of Jianan. Not even able to cross the walls.
Wait until you are no longer able to attack, and attack day and night. More than 800 Korean troops were killed and wounded. Together with the dead and wounded and executed in the previous battle, the North Korean army still had 4,000 people left.
Li Jing did not be soft and did what he said. The Korean army, which had just retreated, was immediately surrounded by silver spears and gold armor, and 4,000 people were disarmed first, and then everyone drew lots.
Gao Zhaokang originally thought that he didn't need to draw lots, but he also had to go down to draw lots, and all the officers and men of the North Korean army, from the army master to the small soldiers, there was no one left, and they all had to be drawn.
Of the 400 officers and soldiers who were drawn to death, including Sima Gaobing of the Korean army, Gao Zhaokang was lucky not to draw a death lot. Gao Zhaokang pleaded with Li Jing and asked to spare Gao Bing from death. However, Li Jing was not moved at all, today's cruel eleven killings are not because he loves to kill, but because he wants to use this to establish his authority. If he pardons the soldiers, then everything before is in vain.
The 400 people who had drawn the death lot were stripped of their armor and stood on the field wearing only shorts. Li Jing did not send someone to execute them, but asked Gao Zhaokang to personally take the remaining 3,600 people and take a stone to kill his comrades.
It was a brutal slaughter, with thousands of people attacking their comrades with their hands tied like wild beasts.
One by one, they fell, and all the last 400 people died.
Gao Zhaokang held a blood-stained stone in his hand, which was the blood of his marching Sima Gaobing, who was also his teacher and friend. He personally ended Gao Bing's life, holding this stone, he stood in the field blankly and sadly, then turned his head, looked at Li Jing on the sidelines, and roared angrily: "I killed him, are you satisfied, are you satisfied?" ”
"You're doing a good job!" Li Jing nodded, and then left with the people.
This bloody and brutal eleventh slaughter made all the Goguryeo people immediately wake up, and they are now surrendering to Li Jing's surrendering army. When they thought of the previous massacre, everyone was in a state of trepidation. They never thought that the Zhenguo Army, which has always had a high salary and a high pension, would have such a cruel side.
That's right, Li Jing did treat the Goguryeo people very favorably before, which made them even despise Li Jing and the Zhenguo army, but now, they finally understand that their lives are completely in Li Jing's hands.
If you dare to slack off and be negative, the result will be a dead end. No one doubts that Li Jing will not have another eleventh lot, even Gao Zhaokang has to draw lots, and even a general like Gao Bing has been killed by drawing a lot, who can not be frightened.
The Goguryeo soldiers, who were still sloppy and arrogant before, now have a sharp sword hanging over their heads, and they don't know when they will fall.
On the same day, Li Jing did not let the Korean army attack Jian'an City again, but let them rest and recuperate, and gave wine and meat to suppress the shock.
After dark, Li Jing directly mobilized the three armies of Shenjie, Silver Spear, and Golden Armor to attack Jian'an City. This time, Li Jing also sent the special battalion.
The three armies surrounded the three walls and fought fiercely, and a battalion of special forces went around the cliff on the other side, and used their superb skills and many tools to quietly sneak into the back mountain of Jian'an City. Then on the other side of the cliff against the city, put a rope to climb down from the cliff dozens of feet high, and sneaked into the city.
The Khitans never thought that the cliff behind it, which was dozens of zhang high and made the city wall more dangerous, actually became the best breakthrough point for the Tang army.
The strongest, instead, became the weakest.
Because of the danger of that cliff, the Khitans did not even send troops here.
No one could have imagined that someone could really come from the sky and enter Jian'an City from here.
There are not many special combat soldiers in one battalion, but for the Khitan defenders, who only have 1,000 soldiers and horses at this time, and there are many casualties in the previous two battles, it is already an irresistible army and horses.
Suddenly, the arrow blades of the special combat soldiers who were killed from behind swept by, and the Khitan defenders were slashed by the Tang army in the back waist.
They responded to the battle in a hurry, and they couldn't even figure out where these Tang troops came from, the Khitans had only one idea, one of the other two city gates must have been broken by the Tang army, and even the other two were breached.
They couldn't see the specific situation clearly at night, they only saw countless Tang troops killing from behind, unstoppable.
The people behind the defenders of the city gate who were transporting arrows, stones, and wood were simply unarmed, and as soon as they were rushed by the special combat soldiers, they were directly routed and fled in all directions.
After holding out for less than half an hour, the special operations battalion had already seized and opened a city gate to the west. As soon as the city gate opened, several fires rose at the head of the city, and Lin Wu, Zeng Yuanyu and others under the mountain were overjoyed, and led the army to rush into Jian'an City with shouts.
At this point, there is no suspense left.
By dawn, the armies had completely controlled Jian'an City, the Khitan soldiers in the city were all wiped out, and the people were also taken into custody. Although some Khitans tried to set fire to the city, they were discovered in time and extinguished the fire. Jian'an City, an important town in Liaodong Bay with a circumference of more than ten miles, completely fell into the hands of Li Jing.
Li Jing entered Jian'an City, looking at this huge mountain city, and couldn't help but be full of joy.
To be honest, before the attack, he didn't think that the special operations battalion would be able to enter the city so smoothly. Although the special operations battalion was able to overcome the obstacles of the cliff, if the Khitans stationed a team of soldiers and horses under the cliff, then the special operations battalion would not have succeeded at all. You don't even need to have a lot of soldiers, as long as there are about 100 people, you can prevent the special operations battalion from infiltrating.
There is no special combat battalion to infiltrate the city and attack the defenders from behind, even if the city of Jian'an is empty, it is impossible to take the city so quickly.
Therefore, as soon as he entered the city, Li Jing's first order was to have people immediately set up several fortresses on the top of the cliff behind, and garrison a hundred of them. Use a rope ladder to go up and down the cliff. He built Jian'an City from here, and Li Jing didn't want anyone to use this method to capture his Jian'an.
Finally won Jian'an, Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief. Occupying this big town, Li Jing can be regarded as a victory in the first stage. Now, he has traveled all the way north from the Liaodong Peninsula and has the strength to spy on Liaodong Bay.
It only took two days to take Jian'an, mainly because Yelu Dachi and Yelu Dara took all the main forces south, and then the whole army was wiped out. The city of Jian'an was empty of troops, and there was no general to defend it, so it was only a matter of time before it fell. However, the Zhenguo Army was able to capture it in two days, which still showed the strong ability of the Zhenguo Army to attack fortifications.
"Zeng Yuanyu and Lin Wuer will listen to the order!" After Li Jing entered the city, he only inspected it once, and immediately summoned Lin Wu and Zeng Yuanyu, two generals.
"The last general!"
"This commander ordered the two of you, each commander to immediately go to Dashiqiao to join General Zhao, and strive to take Anshi Prefecture in the fastest time before the reinforcements from the west of the Khitan Liao River arrived!"
"Whoa!" The two generals received the order, left in a hurry, and each gathered his own troops and horses.
In the afternoon, Lin Wu led the silver spear to serve the army, and Zeng Yuanyu led the Shenjie army after the afternoon, and began to continue to advance north, heading straight for the big stone bridge. Li Jing stood on the tower of the city gate and watched the two armies leave, his heart full of anticipation. (To be continued......)
