I wait for them to be frightened and then choose the escape route I have set aside 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? ?”
“It was also an easy choice.”
When Guang Jiqi said this, he felt a little tired.
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 a little that I led them here?"
"Of course I mind." Guang Jiqi nodded and said, "Also, Pingcheng has been defeated. Next, is it your turn to perform?"
"According to the agreement, this is indeed the case." Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi: "But we still need to return to Seoul."
…
…
Just as Guang Jiqi expected, the defenders of Rang Ping were frightened and were no longer willing to defend the city under the continuous harassment. After Guang Jiqi left them a way out, the opponent finally chose to It was the right time to abandon the city and flee. The few die-hards who did not escape and stayed in the city did not resist for too long. After all, as Guang Jiqi said, after surrounding them and lighting a bonfire, no matter how iron-clad they are, no one can resist it. Stay, you can only 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 was the only one here, so she was just talking to herself.
But after Yan Yu's voice fell, another person's voice rang out coldly: "Has Rang Ping been captured?"
"To be precise, it was captured again." Yan Yu quietly corrected the other party's statement: "As soon as Guang Jiqi's army arrived, they set about besieging Rang Pingcheng. They surrounded but did not attack. They only cleared the surrounding areas of Rang Pingcheng. For the bunker, after the heavy artillery suitable for siege arrived, he only conducted a wave of fire tests, and also did not launch siege operations."
"What is he waiting for?" the man asked.
"He was waiting for the Japanese 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 time the Japanese expeditionary force is divided into nine legions, which means 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. When entering Goryeo After that, the steady progress of the victory made many people feel satisfied. So when Governor Konishi was about to ask for help from the rear, no one in the army was ready to help him. Since he was fighting alone in a foreign country, so why not? No wonder 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 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 ran back with Yukino Konishi," 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, Zhou Dynasty will further send 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 nodded: "This is what I am looking forward to, but when everything advances to 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'm going to meet with Fang Bi in advance to discuss the final details."
Yan Yu said lightly: "I want to know even more what he said to that person."
