In the past, Li Sicheng hated those who fled on the battlefield.
He thought proudly, isn't it death? If a man dies and a bird faces the sky, he will not die for thousands of years. Even if his head is lost, it is just a big scar at the mouth of the bowl. As a man, he should be vigorous in life and glorious in death. How humiliating is it to escape?
Since he took charge of the army, he has been very strict in this regard. For those who fled on the battlefield, he did not hesitate and directly beheaded in public. Because of this, he quickly rose in the military community and was praised by others. Everyone calls him an Iron-blooded general.
Who knows, when he went to the battlefield himself and his life was threatened, he ran away himself.
Of course, he didn't think he was running away. He thought he was in charge of the training of the national army as a general of the unified army. He was a figure who could decide to advance and retreat.
It means that he thinks it's an attack, an attack. Even if it's an escape, it's a retreat. It's called strategic turn. The cavalry of the Li Dynasty were struggling to support and resist the Warsaw army's fierce attack.
The cavalry of the Chinese army was originally very strong and well-equipped, and they had a large number of reinforcements and follow-up troops.
The Chinese army has one thing that all armies can't compare with, that is, their pensions for dying on the battlefield are very high, and the punishment for escaping from battle is extremely heavy.
This makes most soldiers fight bravely on the battlefield and would rather die on the battlefield than run away. Moreover, because the Chinese army has a very high compensation for dying on the battlefield, they have a very clear definition of dying on the battlefield. Even if you are seriously injured on the battlefield and die after returning to the camp, it is not a war death, but a sacrifice, The pension obtained by sacrifice is one level lower.
This makes many officers and soldiers fall on the battlefield. Seeing that they can't do it, they would rather give themselves a pleasure than be carried down to die.
This makes them especially tough and brave. In the face of the enemy, they are like wolves and tigers. The soldiers of the Li Dynasty have never met such an enemy at all.
Even JianNu and Japanese pirates don't fight like this.
Japanese pirates and JianNu, even though they are very brave, they are also afraid of death, but like the Chinese army, they are completely crazy and rush forward without fear of death, which makes them unbearable.
Originally, they were in the hard support, and would be defeated and collapsed at any time. Who knows, at this time, General Li Sicheng first retreated.
In Li Sicheng's eyes, he thought that as a commander-in-chief, he could automatically advance and retreat, but in the eyes of soldiers, this was running away.
Even the generals have fled. What are they doing here? After Li Sicheng's strategy changed, all his soldiers fled one after another.
As soon as they ran, they completely collapsed. They were already supporting hard. When they no longer supported, they collapsed in an instant. The Chinese Army didn't mean to let them go easily. They also chased up and slashed and killed while the other party ran away.
Everyone who has been on the battlefield knows that when the two armies cut and kill, the war results are quite few.
Because you have a knife, others also have a knife. You can cut others, and others can cut you. The casualties are almost the same. Only when you escape, on the one hand, people run away, on the other hand, they just take a knife to cut people, and this war result will occur.
Throughout the ages, almost all the gains in all wars have been made in the process of chasing and killing the enemy. Therefore, this is the time for the Chinese army to harvest the fruits. How could they miss a great opportunity? When the enemy retreated, the commander did not hesitate to order the whole army to March in, chase and kill the enemy, slash and kill, and the result turned into a one-sided pursuit.
Li Sicheng's original plan was to retreat first, leave his deputy general and lead the army to resist, so as to win time for his retreat.
Who knows, his subordinates saw that the generals had fled. The soldiers had no heart for war and ran away one after another. As a result, they became collapse.
The people who stayed to snipe also ran with them. As a result, the enemy drove straight in, chased and killed them directly, slashed and killed them, cried their mother, and there were corpses everywhere.
The battle of the wharf ended in the complete failure of the Li Dynasty army. Li Sicheng, known as an invincible general, just took more than a dozen soldiers with him and fled back to Hannan mountain city.
Li Sicheng did not dare to escape back to Seoul now, because he knew that he was the defeated general when he fled back to Seoul. He was afraid that all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty would kill him. Even if King Li wanted to protect him, he could not.
Besides, I'm afraid King Li Luo won't protect him. You know, King Li Luo has great trust in him. The reason why he trusts him so much is that he can boast and fight well. Li Luo thinks he is invincible in the world, so he will hand over the most elite general army to him.
As a result, this army rushed up and did not defeat the enemy. Instead, it became a capitation. The whole army collapsed and destroyed the main force of the Li Dynasty army. It is estimated that the emperor will cut off his head even if he dotes on him again, so he will escape back to the mountain city of the Southern Han Dynasty.
He fled back here. It was his territory and controlled the military power. It was not easy for others to kill him. However, it was not easy for him to escape. He fled back to the mountain city of the Southern Han Dynasty. Before closing the gate, the cavalry of the Chinese Army chased him up, and the two sides launched a bloody fight here.
The mountain city of the Southern Han Dynasty was an Earth City during the Koguryo period 2000 years ago. After years of renovation and reinforcement, it was finally completed during the reign of guanghaijun in the Li Dynasty.
The highest peak in the city is Changshan, as far as the sunset in Incheon, and as close as Seoul and Gyeonggi do.
The whole city is high and dangerous around, low and easy to defend in the middle. Living in the city is comfortable and convenient, which can be said to be a favorable condition for the mountain city. The city is divided into inner and outer cities, with a circumference of nine kilometers and a height of three to seven meters. It is rectangular from east to west.
It has four gates and six secret gates. The garrison of the commander's troops is located in the highlands of the city. There were palaces and various facilities in the city when the king took refuge. When Bingzi was disorderly, renzu Li Luo took refuge here for 46 days.
The defensive general platform is a two-story wooden building built to monitor the enemy and observe the surrounding conditions. It is the tallest of the four generals built in the mountain city of the Southern Han Dynasty.
The palace in the mountain city of the Southern Han Dynasty was used as a refuge instead of the capital city in case of war. Different from other palaces, it has various facilities for handling state affairs, as well as ancestral temples and state places.
Now the Chinese army has let Seoul go and attacked juehua island and the Southern Han mountain city first. Their means are to break their plans first.
Seoul's defense system takes juehua island and South Han mountain city as the peripheral support. After pulling out these two points, it is equivalent to pulling out the claws and teeth of the tiger.
If the war had been unfavorable in the past, they could have retreated to these two places to defend.
But now it's better for the Chinese army to deal with them first and take their place first, which makes them very embarrassed.
There was a big war in the Southern Han Dynasty mall when Bingzi was disorderly. The eight flag army led by Amin besieged the mall and finally forced the other party to surrender.
After the war, they strengthened their defense in this regard, mainly preparing more food and water sources to prevent the other side from being besieged.
Who knows these preparations are useless. The Chinese army did not siege them at all, but directly launched a fierce attack.
The two sides fought an extremely fierce battle here.
The soldiers of the Li Dynasty also know that this is the moment of life and death. If they can't drive the enemy out, the mountain city will fall into the hands of the enemy. The enemy will be condescending here and bombard Seoul, which will speed up the fall of Seoul and make them unstoppable.
And they all know that if they let the mountain city fall into the hands of the enemy, they are also a dead end. If they could escape earlier, it is because there is still a way to escape. Now they can't escape, because they have no way to escape. They have no choice but to fight to the death.
Some soldiers of the Li Dynasty had other thoughts. They wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, but they found that the Chinese army was extremely cruel. They didn't use the method of disarming and not killing at all. When they saw these soldiers with weapons and wearing military uniforms, they all shot and killed them. In short, it was the practice of leaving chickens and dogs, which made them very frightened and afraid to surrender, Can only fight to the death.
The cavalry of the Chinese Army competed with Li Sicheng's troops at the gate of the city. They were at a disadvantage. After all, the cavalry were best at fighting on the flat ground. Fighting here in the mountain city was different from that on the flat ground, and did not give full play to their strengths.
But the soldiers of the Li Dynasty are no better. Now they have been beaten by the Chinese army. They have become frightened birds. They only know that they run away. Even if they retreat here, they just fight to protect their lives. The two sides fight equally.
But soon, the Chinese Army's Musketeers arrived quickly. When the Chinese Army's Musketeers arrived, they put a lot of pressure on them. These Musketeers who used Musketeers could shoot each other outside the range of Li Dynasty soldiers, giving them a huge shock and pressure.
This made Li Sicheng very angry. He roared up to the sky and said loudly, "it's impossible to fight like this." he said all the helplessness and suffering in his heart.
In the past, what they did with JianNu was that both sides were cutting with knives. This was a visible and touchable battle.
Now it's good that the enemy shoots at you from a hundred steps away. The enemy can kill you, but you can't kill the enemy. This is very oppressive, which makes them very helpless and powerless. They sit and be killed.
