"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Ahh

"Poof!"

There are many rivers in Goguryeo, and it is a coastal country, so naturally there are also sailors.

However, Goguryeo's shipbuilding technology was not good, and even with the large number of craftsmen left by the sun, the shipbuilding technology did not improve much.

After all, few of the craftsmen Yang Guang brought to conquer Goguryeo knew how to build ships.

As the chief of the Pyongyang Provincial March, Li Kuan set out with 20,000 sailors, and the first task was naturally to destroy the sailors of Goguryeo.

Fortunately, the ships of the Goguryeo naval division were generally not suitable for sailing in the open sea, and they were basically stationed at the mouth of the Daedong River, the Han River and other rivers, and the fleet destroyed them without much effort.

"Lord Wang, a soldier was accidentally injured by a stray arrow, and the rescue failed, and more than a dozen people were injured, while the other party was completely annihilated, and not a single ship could continue to stay on the water."

Outside the Datong River, Li Kuan stood on top of the flagship, listening to Xue Rengui report on the results just now.

The city sailors are professional sailors who walk on the sea all year round, and the Goguryeo sailors, to put it bluntly, are actually a group of stragglers who have no tactics or equipment at all.

It's just an infantry sitting on a boat, almost helpless in the face of an attack.

Several new-style clippers, after seeing the Goguryeo ship, even collided directly, and then sent a rain of arrows to the Goguryeo people who fell into the water, simply and rudely solving the opponent.

Li Kuan needed captives to develop Liaodong, but at sea, it was too hard to catch captives, so he simply cheapened the sharks.

Think of it as compensation for the fact that the East China Sea Fishing Industry has brought so many fleets to catch whales and sharks over the years.

"Arrange a few warships to destroy all the ships on the Han River and the Yalu River, and we will continue to go up the river and go directly to Pyongyang City."

After solving the main force of the Goguryeo naval division, Li Kuan began to divide his troops into three routes.

Of course, the main forces should be concentrated on Pyongyang's side, so as not to be too scattered and the effect will be greatly reduced.

"The Goguryeo sailors have been destroyed by us, someone must have gone to Pyongyang City to report the news, my lord, should we let the soldiers on the transport ship go ashore first and occupy a stronghold?"

Xue Rengui has begun to pay attention to steady and steady combat in the use of troops.

In his opinion, in order to completely conquer Goguryeo, it was ultimately necessary to rely on ground warfare.

"No hurry! Our ships are all bed crossbows and crossbow arrows, and even if the fleet is outside Pyongyang, we don't have to worry about them attacking. ”

The number of crossbow arrows carried by Li Kuan's 20,000 army was much more than that carried by the average 100,000 army.

Anyway, in the end, the cost of the war had to be recovered from the Goguryeo people, and he had no idea of saving arrows at all.

If you can exchange arrows for the lives of soldiers, why not?

"Lord, do you want our hot air balloon battalion to take off first, and before the Goguryeo people have reacted, they will directly burn down the city of Pyongyang? Let them all turn into roast duck! ”

Zhu Fufu, as the person in charge of the hot air balloon camp, is now deeply trusted by Li Kuan.

After years of improvement, the hot air balloons in the hot air balloon camp have been better than at the beginning, I don't know how many times, Zhu Fufu is fully confident that he will give the Goguryeo people a ruthless one.

After all, the houses in the city of this era were basically made of wood.

The bombing effect of the hot air balloon battalion is much more effective than the bombing of the grassland.

"Your name is Zhu Fufu, do you dislike living too richly? The city of Pyongyang is inhabited by a large group of noble and wealthy merchants of Goguryeo, and if we burn it directly, won't we burn all our spoils? ”

Li Kuan regarded Pyongyang City as his trophy and did not want to simply burn it down.

Of course, if you have to do it, then you will still burn it when it is time to burn.

"Lord Wang, if our soldiers don't go ashore and don't let the hot air balloon battalion attack, it is impossible for the Goguryeo people to flee without a fight."

Along the way, Xue Li wanted to discuss the battle plan with Li Kuan several times, but unfortunately Li Kuan was not interested.

Seeing that the fleet would appear outside Pyongyang tomorrow, Xue Li began to be a little anxious.

"As long as our army appears outside Pyongyang, the impact on Goguryeo will be far-reaching; Just imagine, if there were soldiers and horses from the enemy country, what would happen to Datang outside the city of Chang'an? ”

Li Kuan stood on the deck, his eyes looking ahead, but there was a mysterious smile on his face.

"Of course it's the King of Qin!"

Xi Junmai, who didn't talk much on the side, broke out without thinking about it.

"Shhh Xue Li seemed to think of something, "Lord Wang, do you mean to attract all the troops of Goguryeo to the vicinity of Pyongyang?" ”

"Your Majesty set out from Youzhou to attack Liaodong, if the news of the siege of Pyongyang City spreads, Goguryeo will definitely transfer troops from Liaodong and other places to defend it, which can be regarded as a burden on Your Majesty."

Xi Junmai looked at Li Kuan with admiration, and felt that his prince was really conscientious for His Majesty.

"Not only that, but from the intelligence investigation...... Judging from the information obtained so far, the Goguryeo people sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to the border to fight the Silla people, and the Silla people are mobilizing the power of the whole country and are resisting the attack of the Goguryeo people; Once the Goguryeo army learned that the country was besieged, they would definitely go back to the rescue, and the Silla people would probably be able to take the opportunity to defeat the Goguryeo army and chase all the way to Goguryeo. Don't look at the overall national strength of Silla is not as good as Goguryeo, but the combat effectiveness of the domestic soldiers is not bad, and under the resistance of the whole country, it is not impossible to kill Pyongyang City directly. ”

Wang Xuance knows more information, and the insights he gives are naturally more different.

"In this way, the prince hopes to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, first let the Goguryeo people and Silla people eat dogs, and then find the right time to deal a fatal blow to the Goguryeo people?"

Xue Li looked at Li Kuan with bright eyes.

If this idea had been realized, the casualties of the army would have been greatly reduced.

Don't look at this expedition, Li Kuan transferred a large number of students from the Medical College of Guanshishan Academy and a large number of surgeons from the affiliated medical hall, but it is inevitable that there will still be casualties during the battle.

It would be different if Silla was an ally who went first.

Anyway, as far as Silla doesn't want to lose the country, it can't be done.

"What you said is not wrong, but don't forget, the king of Goguryeo, Gao Jianwu, is now alive and bones, and his crown prince Gao Huanquan escaped by luck and is now in our hands. As long as it is used properly, there will be smoke in Goguryeo immediately. ”

Li Kuan let Kujou Haozhi develop in Goguryeo early, and also gathered Sui Dynasty immigrants He Jian and others, so naturally he was not full of food and support.

Now Gao Huanquan is sitting in front of Kujou Hiroyuki and He Jian, discussing the final plan for the uprising.
