Chapter 898 Eliminate Goryeo(1/2)
The army of Li Chenggui, the lord of Goryeo, attacked a city where soldiers of the Byzantine Empire were stationed. Although there were only 10,000 defenders in the city, the battle was extremely difficult.
After paying the price of 30,000 people, Li Chenggui took the city.
But soon, the city of Goryeo was surrounded by the army of the Byzantine Emperor.
The army of the Goryeo Kingdom was caught in an unprecedented fierce battle.
"This national war is too difficult for us..."
Goryeo player Li Minzhe was besieged by the Byzantine Empire army and discovered how difficult this national war was.
The Byzantine emperor had at least tens of thousands of troops, while the Goryeo Army had only 70,000 troops left. Even if the low-level troops were recruited, it would take a certain amount of time.
The most frightening thing is the two elite guards of the Byzantine Emperor.
The difficulty of defeating the Byzantine Emperor is almost the same as the difficulty of defeating the King of Kings of the Persian Empire.
From the perspective of the diversity of civilized arms, the Byzantine Empire's troops were more complete than those of ancient Persia.
The Byzantine Empire had a heavy cavalry that was not found in ancient Persia.
Players in Goryeo knew that it was also known as the Byzantine Empire in Eastern Rome, and it was once powerful.
The Valangi Guard of Katerina's general Haral came from the Byzantine Empire.
Li Minzhe saw the Valangi Guard holding a tomahawk from the army of the Byzantine Empire.
The Byzantine Empire army on the national battlefield has exceeded its peak period.
I'm afraid that the Byzantine Empire's army in history could not achieve such a military force.
This is also the reason why Li Minzhe, a player in Goryeo, feels frightened when he sees the army of the Byzantine Empire.
After the Byzantine Emperor arrived, he immediately ordered a strong attack on the city occupied by the lord of Goryeo. Byzantine soldiers rushed to climb the city wall!
The Byzantine Empire's catapult bombarded the city wall, and huge rocks fell down, and the city wall was trembling!
Li Chenggui was also unlucky. After occupying a city in the territory of the Byzantine Empire, he was soon attacked by the Byzantine Emperor.
Li Chenggui's Goryeo Army came from the Goryeo Legion formed by Mingguan. Faced with the fierce offensive of the Byzantine Legion, the Goryeo defenders were constantly shot and killed by arrows.
The Byzantine Empire's army attacked Li Chenggui for six or seven consecutive days, and the casualties on both sides were quite heavy.
The defenders of the Goryeo Kingdom continued to throw stones under the city with their majestic city walls and killed the infantry of the Byzantine Empire.
The Byzantine Emperor could not make a breakthrough and frowned: "Mobilize the Valangi Guard."
The six thousand Valangi Guards were mixed with ferocious siege troops, among which the Viking Beaters carried giant axes and strided heavily!
The rain of arrows covers the sky, and the Viking Bells ignores the casualties of their companions, braves the rain of arrows and stones, and forcibly attacks the city!
The Varangi Guard was the most elite infantry in the Byzantine Empire. When the Viking Bereaves in the Varangi Guard attacked the city wall, they immediately entered a violent state and killed all directions!
The elite military squad of the Goryeo Kingdom was slaughtered by the Varangi Guard!
Although they are both high-level troops, the two legions are not opponents of the same level at all!
The Varangi Guard swept thousands of defenders across the city wall like a killing machine. The main general of the Bewu squad, Yikan, was killed by the Varangi Guard with a giant axe!
...
When Li Chenggui was besieged by the Byzantine Empire army, Chu Tian's army was resting and at the same time, he accumulated solid bullets used by the Red Barbarian Cannons.
"The legendary king of the Byzantine Empire dispatched a large army to siege Li Chenggui. Li Chenggui was defeated and had given up the occupied city!"
When the Han army basically recovered its troops, news of Li Chenggui's defeat soon came.
This was expected by Chu Tian, because according to the captive Byzantine reconnaissance cavalry, the territory of Byzantine Emperor Basil II to the south.
Basil II was the founder of the Byzantine Empire's Valangi Guard. The Valangi Guard under his command had 6,000 people, which was even stronger than the 500 Valangi Guard of Catherine.
Lee Chenggui is not a match for Basil II.
"Li Chenggui rebuilt the Koryo Kingdom and jumped up and down in front of me all day long. Although he could not be killed in this national war, in order to avoid the long nights and dreams, he must be eliminated as soon as possible."
Chu Tian personally led the army out of the city.
Li Chenggui's Goryeo army was forced to withdraw from the city because they could not defend the city, and the Byzantine army still pursued each other reluctantly.
"Is there such a clear gap between our Koryo Country and these powerful civilizations?"
Li Chenggui used the city wall to kill tens of thousands of people in the Byzantine Empire, but he was still defeated.
Now there are less than 30,000 people left in the Goryeo Army.
The Goryeo Army was basically injured.
Li Chenggui was originally full of confidence when he broke away from the rule of the Han Empire and thought he could become a wise monarch, but when he arrived at the battlefield of national war, he was defeated by the Byzantine Emperor, which frustrated Li Chenggui's confidence.
"The failure of the national war is nothing. As long as we are in the main world, unite and unite, protect Goryeo, and enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of our lives!"
Goryeo players Li Minzhe and Li Chenggui have different ideas.
He knew that he was not an opponent of the Han Empire, and his only purpose was to protect Goryeo and not be annexed by the Han Empire.
After hearing the words of the strange man in front of him who deserves his trust, Li Chenggui cheered up a little: "You are right, you would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Since I am the King of Goryeo, I must lead my subjects to keep a corner of the land."
"The Han Empire seems to be powerful, but because its territory is too large, once it falls into turmoil, it will be difficult to unify without decades or hundreds of years of war. The lack of opportunity for our generation to conquer Liaodong does not mean that there will be no chance in the future."
Li Minzhe is familiar with the history of ancient China and knows that long-term cooperation will lead to separation.
"Very good, very good!"
Li Chenggui's eyes were full of vigor and seemed to have regained confidence.
Suddenly, the Goryeo Army was in a state of chaos, and Li Chenggui subconsciously looked at the horizon, and a black torrent appeared!
War horses gallop, dragon flags hunt!
A huge cavalry attacked Li Chenggui's defeated soldiers head-on!
"Get on the horse and fight!"
Li Chenggui's face twitched, and almost panic-like to order his cavalry to board the horse.
"Is it because the Byzantine Empire ambushed a cavalry in front of it?"
Li Minzhe was also very panicked at this time.
He imagined the Byzantine Emperor Basil II too terrifying, and thought he had already been ambushed by the Byzantines.
"No, it's not the Byzantine Empire, but the cavalry of the Han Empire!"
When Lee Minzhe slightly recognized the identity of the enemy, he became even more panicked.
If defeating the Byzantine Empire is nothing to Goryeo.
But the Goryeo Kingdom had just announced that it had left the Han Empire's rule, and it was defeated by the Sect Master's Kingdom for a few months. It was a sudden slap in the face.
The Goryeo Kingdom has not yet completely recovered from the shadow of the Liaodong Army, and this time, the Central Plains cavalry that replaced the Liaodong Army came to fight!
The 30,000 remaining soldiers of the Goryeo Kingdom fell into despair. They were facing the Han cavalry with strong physical and morale!
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen swept across the board as vanguards!
The cavalry of the Goryeo Army had already dismounted, but there was no time to adjust the formation. Xue Rengui rushed to the front and killed Jiang Hanzan, the general of the Goryeo Kingdom!
Jiang Hanzan's body turned into a white light and disappeared from the spot.
When the general is killed, he will be directly teleported to the battlefield of the country!
The iron cavalry was scattered, and the army of 30,000 Koryo Kingdom was defeated!
Yang Dayan led a team of Northern Wei tiger pattern cavalry, rushed all the way and rushed straight towards Li Chenggui!
"You are taking advantage of others' danger!"
Li Chenggui's legion's morale was already depressed and he was unable to resist the attacks of the Iron Cavalry and was defeated one after another. He also recognized the Han Empire's army and was deeply saddened.
As the sect leader, he also adopted the tactic of sneak attacks in the face of vassal states!
The Iron Cavalry formed by Chu Tian took the lead in the fall and immediately launched a raid after the Goryeo Army was defeated by the Byzantine Emperor.
With a clang, the sabre in Li Chenggui's hand was lifted away by Yang Dayan's horse spear. The next moment, the King of Goryeo Li Chenggui was killed by Yang Dayan. The heart-wrenching pain made Li Chenggui's headache!
Although the national war can be resurrected, there will still be a strong sense of pain when stabbed by weapons.
Li Chenggui opened his eyes, sweated profusely, and gasped violently. He had returned to the Goryeo Kingdom in the main world.
This also means that the first month of the national war, Goryeo was eliminated.
"The military power of the sect leader country is so strong. This cavalry should be the cavalry of King Xia of the Han Empire. What should I do?"
Li Chenggui's confidence was shaken.
He found that he was a little arrogant and dared to betray the Han Empire.
The King of Xia of the Han Empire defeated the Liaodong Army, which scared the Goryeo Kingdom, head-on.
This is not the first time that Li Chenggui has fought with Chu Tian. In previous national wars, the two sides actually had a brief fight. At that time, Li Chenggui had not betrayed Choi Jae-sun, the first lord of Goryeo Kingdom.
Soon, except for a few captured soldiers, all the other soldiers and horses were eliminated and returned to the main world.
