Chapter 741 Aftermath
I waited for them to be frightened and then choose the escape route I had left for them.
Guang Jiqi said.
This is indeed the case. After many days of continuous bombardment, and after Da Zhou finally demonstrated a heavy artillery that was stronger and larger enough to destroy the city wall, the will of the Pingcheng defenders had begun to collapse.
But just a simple collapse was not enough. Guangjiqi gave them time to think and a hasty attack. The simultaneous attacks from three sides plunged Pingcheng into a sea of fire, but it happened that the rear of your retreat at this time Still reserved for you.
"What if they don't retreat?" Fang Bie asked.
"If you are holding on to your hometown, if the city is breached, then your relatives, friends and family will become plundered refugees, and you may still have the will to defend your homeland." Guang Jiqi shook his head and said, "But if you are In the land you occupy, the people's hearts are inherently unstable, and you have no extra attachment to this land. Do you want to leave useless corpses here and fight until the last breath, or choose to embark on the road home? ?"
"This is also an easy choice."
Guang Jiqi felt a little tired when he said this.
Although as a coach, everything should be within his own calculations, and in the end everything developed as Guang Jiqi expected.
But there was still not much pride on his face.
"If nothing else happens, our casualty number will be a very slight number." Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi and said softly.
"Us?" Guang Jiqi looked up at Fang Bie, his expression slightly complicated.
Fang Bie smiled: "So you still care that I led them here?" "
Of course I do." Guang Jiqi nodded and said, "Also, Pingcheng has been defeated. Come down, is it your turn to perform?"
"According to the agreement, it is indeed like this." Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi: "But we still need to return to Seoul." ...
...
Just
like Guang Jiqi As expected, the defenders of Rangping were frightened and no longer willing to hold on to the city under the continuous harassment. After Guangjiqi left a way out for them, the opponent finally chose to abandon the city at the right time. However, the few die-hards who did not escape and stayed in the city did not resist for too long in the end. After all, as Guang Jiqi said, after surrounding them and lighting a bonfire, no matter how iron-clad the people were, they would not be able to resist and could only be obedient. Come out and surrender.
The Japanese captured in this battle were all escorted back to Yanjing City in the first batch, and were given to Emperor Tianlu to visit as the trophies of the first great victory. However, as far as the main battlefield was concerned, this war had just reached its middle stage.
All of this is going as Fang Bie and Yan Yu imagined before everything started.
In the first stage, the Japanese army won a great victory, and in the stalemate stage, the Goryeo Kingdom asked for help from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now the Great Zhou army finally dispatched, and under the leadership of Guang Jiqi, they won a victory and successfully captured the newly fallen city of Rangping. If this is a base of operations, we can calmly carry out the next battle on this land.
And a snow-white homing pigeon finally flew back to Seoul with such news.
Among the palaces in Seoul.
The palace in Seoul originally belonged to the King of Goryeo, but when the king was gone, there was no owner here.
Oda Nobunaga himself did not come to Goryeo in person, because he knew the purpose of this battle and had no intention of putting himself in danger, and the emperor would not leave his Kyoto, so the entire palace in Seoul was half empty at this time. Of course, The treasures that were not taken away by the King of Goryeo were finally taken away by the Japanese people almost three feet away.
At this time, the homing pigeon landed at Yan Yu's feet.
The woman in white was fishing in the palace garden, and koi carp were swimming in the pond. Since these koi carps are not suitable for sashimi, the Japanese people are not interested in them at all.
The carrier pigeon landed and rubbed against Yan Yu's ankle.
Yan Yu put down the fishing rod, grabbed the wings of the homing pigeon, then took off the copper tube on the pigeon's feet, opened it, read the message inside, couldn't help but sigh and said: "As expected of Fang Bie's chosen person. "
She is the only one here, so she is just talking to herself.
But after Yan Yu's voice fell, another person's voice rang out coldly: "Has Rangping been captured?" "To be precise, it has been
captured again." Yan Yu quietly corrected the other person. Saying: "As soon as Guang Jiqi's army arrived, he set about besieging Rang Pingcheng. Instead of attacking, he only cleared the bunkers outside Rang Pingcheng. After the heavy artillery suitable for siege arrived, he only launched a wave of attacks. There was a test of firepower, but no siege was launched."
"What is he waiting for?" the man asked.
"He was waiting for the Japanese people to change and to determine whether reinforcements would arrive." Yan Yu said lightly: "But it turns out that Guang Jiqi guessed it right." "We all know that this Japanese expeditionary force has a total
of It is divided into nine legions, that is to say, there are nine legion generals. These legion generals are all from the local daimyo forces in Japan. They are not very good at dealing with each other. After entering Goryeo, the unstoppable victory has also made many people He was so satisfied that when Governor Konishi was about to ask for help from the rear, not a single legion was ready to help him. Since he was fighting alone in a foreign country, it is no wonder that Governor Konishi abandoned the city and fled."
"How many people escaped?" The person in the shadow slowly walked out, it was He Ping. The two of them came to Seoul with the Japanese army. However, because of Yan Yu's special status, the now vacant Goryeo Palace has also become It became the best place for her to live.
"Originally more than 10,000 people escaped, but Guangjiqi arranged an ambush on the way to cut off the retreat, so in the end only more than 3,000 people followed Konishi Yukino and ran back." Yan Yu said quietly.
"To put it this way, the Pioneer Army is equivalent to being wiped out, but I think there may be many people still clapping their hands and applauding." He Ping said with a smile.
"But the war is not over yet. After capturing Rangping City, Dazhou will send further troops to Goryeo, and the decisive battle may be just around the corner." Yan Yu said softly.
She looked at the fish swimming in the water.
His eyes were a little wandering.
"Isn't this what His Highness has been waiting for?" He Ping looked at Yan Yu: "A decisive battle, and as the ultimate leader of the battle, you will return legitimately." "Yes." Yan
Yu Nodding: "This is what I'm looking forward to, but when everything reaches this point, it always feels a little unreal."
Saying this, Yan Yu stood up: "Can you come with me? ?"
"Where to go?" He Ping didn't say whether he could or couldn't.
She directly said where to go.
"I want to meet Fang Farewell again in advance to discuss the final details."
Yan Yu said lightly: "I want to know even more what he said to that person."
