General Jin was also a decisive man. He retreated and escaped with the remaining soldiers.
So much so that they didn't even clean up the camp. Of course, there weren't many things in it. Even if there was some food and grass, it was only enough for the army for three to five days. After all, they didn't want to camp too much.
Chu Feng naturally led the army forward. When cleaning the battlefield, he gathered many war horses. There were more than 500 frightened but uninjured horses. A total of eight or nine hundred horses were slightly injured, and it was a pity that more than a thousand horses died.
Chu Feng used more than 500 uninjured Goryeo war horses to directly replace the beam war horses that pulled the chariot, because the beam war horses all had horseshoes, as well as some equipment for the war horses, such as stirrups! This is what Chu Feng thought of. If a chariot is not needed, then the war horse can immediately participate in the battle!
With this exchange, Chu Feng successfully formed a 500-man musketeer cavalry unit.
As for the seriously injured war horses, they were slaughtered directly. Like the dead war horses, they were boiled into pieces of meat in a large pot and used as marching food.
Of course, Chu Feng's food for the army this time was dried meat and fried noodles. It was also very filling, but there was no fresh horse meat stew, which would be nutritious.
Slightly injured war horses are handed over to the cavalry. After simple treatment and bandaging, they can be used as reserve war horses. It can also serve as a coolie horse pulling a chariot.
In the camp of the Korean soldiers, they captured 50,000 troops and three to five days of food and fodder. Let Chu Feng wave his hand and treat them all as war horse fodder.
Because the food eaten by the Korean soldiers was actually mixed with some sand and gravel, which made it difficult to swallow after meals, so they simply fed it to the horses.
As for the corpses of the Goryeo soldiers, Chu Feng did not deal with them at all and led the troops forward. As a devil, he must look like a devil, be cruel and fierce, and only then can he truly frighten the enemy, and it can also save the soldiers. physical strength.
However, after the army left, the local poor people appeared and stripped the soldiers' clothes, even underwear and shoes very clean. However, the naked bodies were also thrown into the wide trench, and then It was buried.
The news that General Jin was defeated by the devil spread rapidly.
Among the leading generals of Goryeo, General Jin was considered a relatively capable general, and his cavalry regiment had also won many battles. However, after only two attacks, they were defeated and collapsed.
The generals of Goryeo were a little scared. The army of Liang Kingdom is indeed powerful! It is indeed a great country!
"Trash, a mere 10,000 soldiers and horses actually defeated your 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers and horses! And the opponent was just a group of infantry! Why does the noble Taiping King think you did it on purpose? You have seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses. Why can't the cavalry rush through? Why are they defeated so quickly? Tell me, please explain it clearly to me!"
The Commander-in-Chief of the Koryo Peninsula came in person with his own soldiers, pointed at General Jin, and cursed.
I deeply suspect that this General Jin did it on purpose because he was dissatisfied with King Taiping's seizure of power! But King Taiping was the soul of the Goryeo army. Over the years, the entire Goryeo army was under the control of King Taiping. Anyone who disobeyed King Taiping would be either killed or transferred out of the army.
"Master General, the Celestial Army is really terrible. Each of them has a black pipe. As long as there is a loud noise, the soldiers will scream and die. It's so terrible. They are really a group of demons! The soldiers are simply They couldn't rush through, and the arrows shot past them had no effect on their bright armor. It seems that no one was hit by the arrow."
General Jin said aggrievedly, feeling extremely regretful about why he was so foolish as to be the first to stop the attack. I thought there were only 10,000 people on the other side, but I never imagined that there would be 10,000 demons!
There are ten thousand big demons, who can stop them? I heard that they didn’t even bury the corpses, and even brutally killed all the envoys they sent. It was so cruel!
"Hmph, stop talking nonsense. I will give you another chance to make up for your mistakes. Stay here at Jianmen Pass and defend the city. I will give you another 30,000 troops. As long as you hold on, I will wait for the noble King of Taiping to take over. Once the matter in the royal city is resolved, we will definitely send a large army again to kill these ungrateful Liangjun troops in one fell swoop."
The Commander-in-Chief shouted loudly and confidently. He knew in his heart that his ability to lead troops was far inferior to that of General Jin. It was better to mobilize 30,000 troops from his own troops to support General Jin and let him continue to fight to the death against the Liang Army.
"Sir, this is absolutely not possible. Those demons in Daliang are really terrible. Even if the general is allowed to hold Jianmen Pass now, there will be at least 60,000 to 70,000 men! And now there are only 20,000 to 30,000 remaining soldiers. Man. My lord, you have to give the general 50,000 more men. Thirty thousand horses are simply not enough. After all, Jianmen Pass must be defended on three sides!"
General Jin said loudly with a grimace.
In his mind, he sticks to Jianmenguan and does not go to war.
Relying on the fact that the city wall is tall and easy to defend but difficult to attack, if I can have double the number of men, I should be able to withstand those demons. If the Commander-in-Chief gave him 50,000 troops, plus his own more than 30,000 troops, and defended on three sides, with more than 20,000 troops on each side, he would be able to hold on.
"Okay, my lord, I will give you an army of 50,000, but you must resolutely guard Jianmen Pass and never let the big beam of men and horses rush over. Otherwise, it will ruin the great event of King Taiping. Don't say that the king can't spare you, my lord." I can’t spare you!”
The Commander-in-Chief looked at General Jin and said harsh words that he thought he was powerful.
General Jin also nodded confidently. He felt that as long as he did not charge and held down with arrows from a high position, there were 78,000 to 80,000 people, and no matter what, he could block the group of beam infantry from the Jianmen Pass.
"Report, Marshal, ahead is Goryeo Jianmen Pass, the only way to the royal city. However, the city wall is tall and easy to defend but difficult to attack. And there seem to be a lot more soldiers and horses on the city wall."
The spy came to report and gave a very detailed report, which made Chu Feng very satisfied.
"Haha, it seems that the enemy has learned the lesson and is ready to hold on to the city and no longer attack us. Well, let's take out our flag and let them see my military might!"
Chu Feng laughed and said, "It feels like winning a battle is much more enjoyable than playing games!"
Hurrah, a big flag is planted on every huge chariot!
The red flag has a big character embroidered on it: "Chu". There are some small golden characters below the word "Chu": "Master Prince Consort Xiaoyao of Daliang, Lord Chu of Fengjiang City."
The flag is even trimmed with gold thread, and a large row of red flags whistle in the breeze, which is really majestic.
General Jin stood on the tower of Jianmen Pass and looked carefully. The huge chariots were powerful and fierce, like small castles. Especially the big flags on them were really majestic.
Just for the gold thread bordering it, a big flag like this would cost at least two gold cakes. It was so luxurious and rich!
No wonder the soldiers are all fully armed, and the shiny armor alone is worth a lot of money! It feels like a set of treasure armor like this cannot be made without more than three hundred silver cakes! This isn't a war, it's just showing off your wealth!
