Chapter 255: Yang Yun Training
The battle situation of the three battlefields soon spread to Yang Yun's fiefdom, and Yang Yun hurriedly found Ju Yuanguang and Qiu Ze to analyze the battle situation together, and discuss the strategies that the imperial court might adopt, and what preparations he should make.
"Now the war situation between Yunzhou and Quanzhou, there is no trouble, Suizhou is much more dangerous, reinforcements to that side must be sent, Li Yue's command will definitely be deprived, who do you think the imperial court may send to aid Suizhou?" Seeing that Ju Yuanguang and Qiu Ze had already read the information, Yang Yun asked them.
"Hehe, I know His Highness's thoughts, but this is impossible, Your Majesty will not send Your Highness to Suizhou, first of all, your qualifications are not enough, and if you want to take over the right of General Huaihua, it will definitely not convince everyone. And our fiefdom is in Yunzhou, Your Majesty will definitely leave our soldiers and horses in Yunzhou in case of emergency, so you should stay here with peace of mind! Qiu Ze said with a smile.
"Yes! Your Highness, you want to go to war, and you are going crazy. This time, the person sent by His Majesty to Suizhou cannot be Your Royal Highness, nor can it be any prince, and the person sent out this time must be a general with a higher status than General Huaihua in the court, or at least a general at the same level as General Huaihua, so that General Huaihua and his soldiers are willing to listen to his unified dispatch. Ju Yuanguang also said with a smile.
"It seems that there is no more business for me again, so I'll stay in the fiefdom and continue to train and wait for further news!" Yang Yun said helplessly.
During this period of time, Yang Yun stayed in the fiefdom, but he was not idle, he was busy urging all departments to train all day long. From time to time, he also personally went into battle and personally participated in the offensive and defensive training of the soldiers.
Under Yang Yun's personal supervision, the soldiers of the fiefdom had a hard time, because Yang Yun had very strict training requirements for soldiers. Every training session was conducted as if it were a full-fledged battle, with both sides fighting with full strength, and many people were wounded in the battle.
But Yang Yun and Guo Long both have the same idea, the training has to be done like actual combat, there is no bloodshed and injury, how can the soldiers be bloody, that kind of training has no effect.
In addition, there are also many training items this time, such as encounter battles, offensive and defensive battles, flat ground operations, mountain and forest operations, and water operations...... We will train every common combat possibility in a down-to-earth manner.
With such high-intensity training, many soldiers were tired every day and could hardly walk, lying in the barracks every night, and soon fell asleep, and no one had the energy to move around the camp at will.
But these soldiers are tired, but there are still few complaints and scolding, because their generals have the same training intensity as them, or even surpass them, and of course they have nothing to say.
Another point is that after a period of training, they really feel the effect of this training, because their abilities in all aspects have been significantly improved. According to His Royal Highness King Wu's concept of "sweating more on weekdays and bleeding less in wartime", they have greater confidence in saving their lives on the battlefield and destroying the enemy at the same time.
In addition to the daily training of the official soldiers of the fiefdom led by Guo Long, even in the mountainous areas, the "bandits" under Yan Xiong and Liu Haini, the female soldiers under the command of Qiao Yuwei, and even the ambulance female soldiers under Chi Li, the daily training tasks are fully arranged.
Even the guards under the command of Qi Wei had to train every day, and the main item of their training was no longer how to protect Yang Yun. Instead, let them form a sharp knife, which can directly enter the enemy's army at a critical time, and even rush to the enemy's central army tent to directly complete the "decapitation operation".
In addition to training soldiers, Yang Yun is also like a creditor, urging Tie Shan every day to let them build various equipment. Protective armor, offensive weapons, large and small siege equipment, and even all kinds of equipment for mountain climbing, strange drawings, strict and even some harsh requirements, made Tie Shan anxious all day long.
Fortunately, although Tie Shan is already very old, his mental state is very good, and he has reached the point of obsession with the creation of iron tools, looking at these drawings that he has never seen, as well as Yang Yun's higher than ordinary people's requirements, not only did not make Tie Shan distressed, but stimulated his enthusiasm.
Almost every day, Tie Shan stays in these iron manufacturing workshops, guiding everyone to build various instruments according to Yang Yun's requirements, every new thing is created, Tie Shan will look at it for a long time, if it does not meet the required quality, he will not hesitate to ask for a remake.
The officials of the counties have not been easy these days, because Yang Yun knows the truth that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. Under Yang Yun's orders, these officials had already been busy, preparing food and forage for horses everywhere, because Yang Yun had long demanded that if the counties could not get it for war, they would be punished.
Ju Yuanguang and Qiu Ze's judgment was not wrong, the one sent by Emperor Fu to Suizhou for reinforcements was actually Sikong Chengxin, who has always been deeply trusted by Emperor Fu and never "eyebrows" with any prince, and only loyal to Emperor Fu, does have the strength to suppress Li Yue and King Xiang.
Although the soldiers brought out by Cheng Xin this time were only 40,000, these 40,000 people were not simple, because they were the best equipped Praetorian Guards in Dafu.
There are 100,000 Praetorian Guards stationed in Xijing City, and their combat strength is not ordinary, in addition to the best equipment, they are also the elite selected from soldiers from all over the world.
To send 40,000 people from the 100,000 guards to reinforce the distant Suizhou, Emperor Fu's decision was opposed by the majority of the people in the court. Because now that a big war has started in many places, if any enemy army breaks through the defense line and drives straight into Xijing City, it will be a very dangerous thing.
But this time Emperor Fu was extremely resolute, and he told the ministers that they should trust the warriors of Dafu and would do their best to drive out the invading enemy completely. He also told everyone that if the enemy really came to Xijing, he would personally put on the battle to let these guys who didn't know the height of the sky have no return.
Emperor Fu's words were soon deliberately spread among the Dafu army, which greatly boosted the morale of all armies.
Cheng Xin's age is only a few years younger than Emperor Fu, but his kung fu has not fallen behind over the years, and his physical condition has remained good. What's more, his status in Dafu is very high, although he has never formed a party with anyone, but he is respected by everyone in Dafu.
After Cheng Xin arrived in Suizhou, he quickly took over all the soldiers under Li Yue, brought a lot of supplies to the soldiers, gathered all the soldiers together for training, and conveyed Emperor Fu's words to all the soldiers before leaving.
Cheng Xin's move is obviously very correct, and the morale of these Dafu soldiers, who have suffered defeats, has indeed been very low these days, and their confidence has also been seriously hit. With Cheng Xin's encouragement, the mental outlook of these soldiers finally changed significantly.
After doing this work, Cheng Xin asked his soldiers to prepare various equipment and prepare for crossing the river.
On the tenth day of Cheng Xin's arrival in Suizhou, the weather was very good, the sun was shining, and the wind on the river was much lighter.
Tens of thousands of soldiers gathered on the riverside, and there were dense boats of all sizes on the river, all armed and ready to fight. As soon as Cheng Xin gave the order, the soldiers quickly boarded the boat and rowed to the other side of the river as fast as they could.
The Fujiang River is a natural danger, and the South Korean soldiers who have already occupied a large area of Suizhou land on the south bank of the Fujiang River will certainly not allow the Dafu soldiers to cross the river calmly.
The 50,000 Korean soldiers had already been fully prepared, and they were ready to wait for the Dafu soldiers to reach Jiangxin, and then launch a fierce attack on them like the last time.
These Korean soldiers standing by the river were in a good mood at this time, and they seemed to see that these Dafu soldiers who crossed the river were surrounded by the Korean army just like the last time.
"This time you don't have as good luck as last time, you have to let your whole army be annihilated, and then our army will cross the Fujiang River again and completely occupy the entire territory of Suizhou." The leading general of South Korea said with some smugness as he looked at the enemy ships approaching on the river.
What these Koreans did not expect was that the crossing of the river by the Dafu soldiers was unusually smooth, not only did they all cross the Fujiang River, but the Korean soldiers who were originally going to attack halfway suffered a lot of losses.
And being able to create such a situation completely depends on the strategy of Cheng Xin, the old Jianghu.
On the way to Suizhou, Cheng Xin thought that in order to regain the occupied land in Suizhou, crossing the river was a hurdle that must be crossed.
The Dafu soldiers were not good at water warfare, and if they wanted to forcibly cross the Fujiang River, which had wide waters and rapid currents, it would definitely not be possible to rely on hard attacks, so he began to prepare for crossing the river in advance
After arriving in Suizhou, Cheng Xin immediately arranged for people to quietly cross the Fujiang River and let them contact the south bank of the Fujiang River, because the city was broken, the Dafu soldiers scattered all over the country let them quietly gather together to cooperate with the upcoming river crossing operation.
Not only that, Cheng Xin also sent people to contact some of the former Dafu soldiers who were forced to surrender to the enemy when the city was occupied, expressing the hope that they would make meritorious contributions to their crimes, and the imperial court would definitely reduce their punishment and treat their relatives well.
If others gave them such a promise, these soldiers who had surrendered might not believe it, but it was Sikong Chengxin, who was highly respected in Dafude, who gave them a promise, so many soldiers who had surrendered said that they would definitely cooperate with Cheng Xin and exchange their military exploits for the understanding of the imperial court.
In this way, Cheng Xin, who had been guarding the north bank of the Fujiang River, did not seem to make any moves on the surface, but in fact he had quietly gathered a force behind the enemy, waiting for the time to cross the river, and this force would play a role in deciding the outcome of the battle.
When the Korean soldiers saw the Dafu ship getting closer and closer to them, their eyes showed a look of excitement, like a hungry wolf who had not eaten for several days, staring at the scarlet eyes and looking at the prey that was getting closer and closer to him.
The commander of the Korean soldiers, standing on a high tower, stared intently at the ships in the river, waiting for these Dafu soldiers to enter his attack range, and began to launch a fierce attack on them.
What these Koreans didn't expect was that at this time, there was a sudden noise behind them, and immediately after, a group of soldiers in various costumes were rushing towards them as fast as they could.
The rushing soldiers were clearly prepared, and as soon as they appeared behind the Koreans, they launched a fierce attack directly on them.
There were more than 20,000 of these soldiers, apparently not from one team, because they were not dressed in a different way and did not have a unified command, they were scattered into several teams and attacked from different directions behind the South Koreans.
One side was prepared, the other side was caught off guard, and coupled with the Koreans' ability to fight on land, they were originally no match for the Dafu soldiers.
Therefore, as soon as this battle began, many unprepared Koreans were cut to the ground, which made the formation of the Korean soldiers chaotic for a while, and they had a numerical advantage, but they were the targets of abuse.
South Korean generals at all levels tried their best, and also killed a number of South Korean soldiers who tried to escape, and finally stabilized these South Korean soldiers, and slowly stabilized the situation by virtue of their numerical advantage.
These soldiers who came from the rear of the Korean soldiers were the Dafu soldiers scattered on the south bank of the Fujiang River, and they belonged to various cities, and they could not carry out unified command in a short time, so they could only fight separately.
Under such circumstances, although they were the side of the sneak attack, although they had achieved some advantages in the early stage, when the South Korean generals at all levels came to their senses and organized a counterattack, they were a little overwhelmed.
Seeing that their side had finally regained their inferiority, the morale of the South Korean soldiers immediately recovered a lot, and they became more and more courageous, each shouting for a life-and-death battle with these sneak attackers.
Seeing that these sneak attacks began to retreat, the commander of the South Korean soldiers showed a happy look on his face, and he tried his best to urge his soldiers to deal with these sneak attacks in the shortest possible time.
However, the wishful thinking of the Korean commander failed, because just as they were fighting with the sneak attackers, the river boats they had no time to take care of had already approached the shore, and the Dafu soldiers on board rushed down one after another and joined the battle group.
The 40,000 Dafu Praetorian Guards brought by Cheng Xin were the elite of the Dafu soldiers, plus the defeated soldiers who were originally subordinate to Li Yue and Wang Qi, they were unwilling to let go of this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so they also screamed and desperately killed the Koreans.
The Koreans, who were attacked from both sides, managed to make these wolf-like soldiers their opponents crushed in a short time, leaving behind a large number of corpses and many weapons to flee in disarray.
defeated the Koreans and successfully crossed the Fujiang River, Cheng Xin didn't have time to be happy, he let people chase down the fleeing Korean soldiers, and at the same time let people count the results.
In this battle, more than half of the 50,000 Korean soldiers were lost, and only more than 10,000 Koreans fled in disarray, but under the close pursuit of the Dafu soldiers, they were able to succeed in the end, and even fewer were likely to escape.
