Chapter 19: The Battle of Liaodong (3)

On the occasion of the decisive battle of Anseong, Ji Kang has been looking at the map hanging on the wall in the military pavilion, and he has been standing for a long time.

Ji Kang's previous life was called the "weak Song" dynasty by later generations. The adults in the court can't fight, but the words they write are amazing. What "plugged the scenery in autumn is different, and the geese in Hengyang go without paying attention. The sound of the corners on all sides ......"; What"...... Majestic hair. Lupine scarf, talking and laughing, the canopy is gone. ”

It's as if the war was easy, and between the laughter and talk of the people, the problem was solved. But when Ji Kang came to this world and learned about the war, he knew that this was what the people called "". Just like those experts and scholars in the previous life, they talked about everything very well, but when the common people last looked at the results in reality, it was not like this at all!

It is no wonder that the Great Wall of China was thrown by the scholars and doctors of this dynasty in this Song Dynasty, and not a single brick could be seen. Not to mention that since the Han and Tang Dynasties, my Chinese ancestors have gone through thousands of hardships and opened up thousands of miles of Western Regions!

The scenery in the words is purely the imagination of these scholars. Even the Yan country where Ji Kang is located now has been occupied by foreign races in the hundreds of years of this dynasty.

In Ji Kang's previous life, in the "what forum" of TV, the Song Dynasty's system of "using literature to control force" was praised by many experts and professors, and they gave special lectures. Although it led to the incident of "Jingkang shame and Mengyuan invasion", at least for several hundred years, it maintained domestic stability, thus proving the advanced nature and rationality of this system at that time.

At that time, Ji Kang was dumbfounded, how did these experts and professors come to such a conclusion. Since the realization of this system, the status of the samurai has been extremely low. Can you imagine a general who led the soldiers to just destroy a country, and was thought by the scholars and doctors of this country, "The one who sings the champion outside the Donghua Gate is a good son!" "The scene? This makes the soldiers of the country, how embarrassing!

In the Song Dynasty, not to mention the loss of the country, tens of millions of people in the Central Plains were slaughtered by foreign races, how to explain this incident? The history of the people of this great Central Plains nation being reduced to an inferior nation did not begin in modern times, but began in the Song Dynasty.

This system of "using literature to control force" is purely a "nonsense" system formulated by the ruling class of the Song Dynasty in order to safeguard its own selfish interests. "In order to rule the world with scholars and doctors, not to rule the world with the people." It is a true portrayal of this dynasty.

Wars in any era rely on the competition of hard power, and most battles are fought by the strong over the weak. There are very few classic battles that can leave in history "defeating the strong with the weak".

Ji Kang is really not sure about the current war. He only relied on the technical advantages of equipment and weapons that he had not built without stopping after he came to Liaodi; There is also something that he promoted on the basis of the Yan Kingdom in this era, which was called the "national system" by later generations.

As for whether these two advantages can play a role, Ji Kang really has no score in his heart. But in Ji Kang's previous life, he was unanimously recognized at home and abroad. Of course, all of this can only be tested after the end of this war.

Some of the stones fired by the enemy's catapults had already smashed into the city walls.

An Min, the deputy general next to him, began to say to Wang Shi anxiously: "General, let our catapult return fire." ”

On the city wall, Wang Shi stood on the city wall, looking at the army of the Kingdom of Ji that was lined up in a phalanx and rushed towards Fanhan City like a tide.

said to the adjutant general An Min: "Don't worry, wait for the enemy army to get closer." The Kei army could not have predicted that our current catapults could launch at a distance of more than 400 meters more than theirs. This time, we must smash at least half of the enemy's more than 100 catapults. ”

Looking at the Ji army that was getting closer and closer, Wang Shi said to the herald: "Raise the flag, order the catapult to launch, and target the catapult of the Ji army." ”

The herald raised a flag, shook the catapult formation standing in the center of the city, and shouted: "Order, the catapult will be launched immediately, and the target is the enemy catapult formation due east." ”

With the swing of the relay-like flag, the catapult in the city finally sent out the stone projectiles that had been prepared for a long time.

Looking at the boulders that roared away, the dust that smashed up from the Kei's catapult array. Adjutant General An Min shouted excitedly: "I've been hit, I've been hit again." Okay, hit another ......"

Looking at the Ji army that had reached the moat with the ladder on their shoulders, Wang Shi waved his hand again: "The bow and crossbow are ready to be thrown." ”

Rows of crossbows and crossbows were suddenly held on top of the city walls, and the steel arrows shone brightly and pointed to the sky.

"Launch."

There was a loud crash, and the enemy troops on the opposite side suddenly fell.

Wang Shi continued to shout: "The second row fires. ”

Countless arrows rushed towards the besieging Ji army like a dark cloud in Wang Shi's shouting.

……

Just when the smoke was billowing at the north and south ends of Liaodong County, Bo Wang and Wang Shi respectively led the Liao army to fight with the armies of Donghu and Jiguo. Rong was in the barracks, inspecting the fifty new catapults that had just arrived.

Rong thought that the original modified catapult was advanced enough.

However, the 50 catapults that have just been assembled this time are significantly different from the previous ones, and the important components of the entire catapult are all made of steel.

The chassis, like the original modified catapult, is equipped with a turntable, so that it can support all directions of the battlefield at any time. But the lever where the stone is thrown is equipped with what the craftsmen say, the bearing equipment that has just been developed. This also greatly reduces the damage rate of catapults.

This allows these 50 catapults to be loaded with at least three or four hundred pounds of stones, and the launch distance is longer, less manpower is used, and the loading is more labor-saving, and the destructive power is greater.

In addition, the developed bearings can be used in various devices in the future.

Rong Yan asked Gao Dayong, the captain who commanded the catapult, "If this catapult is used to siege the city, what is the effect?" ”

"Tell the general, according to our experiments, as long as you aim at the rammed earth city wall, you can rely on fifty new catapults, one round. Even the strongest masonry wall, with the help of fifty new catapults, four or five wheels, was enough to collapse. ”

Rong Yan looked up to the sky and laughed, and said to the generals next to him who were all shocked: "With this artifact, what other city can stop the conquest of my Liao army." Right...... That's right, this is what Childe called a 'dimensionality reduction' strike, a 'dimensionality reduction' strike! ”

Looking at the generals who were even more incomprehensible, Rong Yan waved his big hand and said: "That's what Gongzi said, the blow of high-level civilization to low-level civilization is ...... It's like stepping on an ant, yes, that's it. ”

Then he said to the herald: "Someone is coming, beat the drum and gather the generals." ”

Rong Yan, who returned to the large camp in the army, sat on the main seat, looked at the generals under the tent and said: "There were many generals in the past, but I don't understand why I took the initiative to push the battle line to Ancheng? But Childe knew about me, and sent people to send more grain, grass and military supplies, and even sent the most advanced catapults.

Now I can tell you clearly that I am leading a main army totaling 100,000, although it has been discovered that the army of Goguryeo is not the original 100,000, but 120,000, and it is already fighting for the whole country.

However, our equipment and combat effectiveness are higher than those of the enemy, especially our cavalry troops, which are now the elite of the entire Central Plains countries.

Now that we are under attack from three sides, we need to quickly open up the situation. If, according to the original plan, the enemy army is brought into the territory of our country, and it is slowly consumed, and it is protracted, it will be unbearable to use our prosperous territory.

Not to mention the Xi'an Ping, Wuci area, there are many mountains and hills, which is not conducive to the deployment of our army's large-scale cavalry. But Anseong is not, this place is vast, which is conducive to the assault of our cavalry, and even more conducive to the decisive battle of our large-scale army.

I have changed the battle plan for this time, and we will completely defeat the enemy army led by Goguryeo Xiangguo Zhu Zhe in Anseong, and we will occupy Anseong, and then quickly go north to aid Bowang, and then defeat the Donghu army. ”

All the generals in the tent shouted in unison: "No." ”

The 120,000-strong army led by Zhu Zhe, the prime minister of Goguryeo, has arrived at Anseong. The camp was backed by Anseong, and was far away from the army of Rong Oysters a few miles away.

While Rong Yi and the generals were discussing military affairs in the big tent, Zhu Zhe was also discussing the upcoming big battle in the big tent in the army.

With a sharp gaze sweeping over the generals under the tent, Zhu Zhe said slowly: "I didn't expect that the Liao army would actually break away from its solid rear and come to my city to confront me. Good, good.

My Goguryeo army now has three benefits.

One is profitable, and now the people of our three kingdoms are committing Liao, and Liaodi is tired of running for their lives, which is the benefit of time;

Erli, now our army is backed by Ancheng, and is fighting in our own country, which is a geographical advantage;

Sanli, according to the detective, our chariot is 300, and the enemy army is only 200. And I have come from all over the country with an army of 120,000 and 100,000 from the other side. The morale of our army is high, and the enemy is tired. This is for the benefit of people and people.

With these three advantages, our army will win this battle. All the generals need to work together to defeat the enemy army and invade Liaodi, otherwise military law will be engaged. Whoever comes, send a message to the enemy, and make a decisive battle in three days. ”

After receiving the battle letter sent by the enemy's commander Zhu Zhe, Rong Yan laughed and said to the generals: "I'm still afraid that the other party will shrink in Ancheng, waiting for me to attack." I didn't expect the other party to be so anxious to fight with me, which is exactly what I want. Someone is coming, send someone to report to the son. ”

The Anseong Battle that decided the fate of Liaodi and the national fortune of Goguryeo. With both coaches believing they were going to win, the curtain slowly opened.

May 20, the day of the battle. Ji Kang, the son of the Junhou Mansion in Xiangping City, didn't sleep all night after seeing the information sent urgently last night, looked at the eastern sky shining slightly, and said to Shi Dang: "Ancheng, the decisive battle has begun." ”

At the same time, in the capital city of Goguryeo, Sushenggu, inside the royal palace.

Zhu Cong, the king of Goguryeo, also did not sleep all night after receiving an urgent letter from front-line coach Zhu Zhe last night. Early in the morning, standing in the palace, facing west, he muttered to himself, "The decisive battle has begun." ”
