Chapter 298: Victory in the First Battle (Subscription Requested!) )
As soon as the king's overlord is shaken, everyone can follow you up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire?
Stop dreaming.
Once or twice, maybe it's okay.
After a long time, if there is no benefit, who can follow you all the time?
Cai still has a clear understanding of this.
Therefore, even if Cai still wants to give up Yan Yun, he must first find a better place for the people who follow him, otherwise many people will definitely leave Cai Yi.
Therefore, after deciding on the plan to withdraw from Yanyun, Cai still handed over all the major and minor affairs of Yanjing to his own few weights, and then quietly left Yandi with 100,000 elite soldiers under the escort of the amphibious army and the navy.
Under the personal command of Cai Zhen, the amphibious army escorted the former army straight to the port of Yeseong in Goryeo.
In this era, the port of Rein, which no longer existed for various reasons, was a hub for land and water transportation and a metropolis where merchants gathered, and most of Goryeo's foreign trade began from this.
The Goryeo royal clan, the family of Wang Jian, who founded Goryeo, was the Yeesung Gangren clan - Wang Jian's grandparents were originally merchants who started out on trade, and then gradually grew to become a powerful power in Kaesong, and then his father Wang Long took control of Kaesong and used it as a stronghold.
coincided with the chaos in the world, and Wang Long took Wang Jian to join the Gong descendants.
Since then, Wang Jian has become the right-hand man of the Gong descendants.
A few years later, the officers of the Gong descendants rebelled, that is, Wang Jian's henchmen Hong Ru, Pei Xuanqing, Shen Chongqian and Park Zhiqian expelled the Gong descendants, and then embraced Wang Jian as king.
Wang Jian's country name is Goryeo, and the year name is Tianzhu.
At this point, the situation of the three countries after the peninsula was officially formed.
Later, after more than ten years of war, Wang Jian destroyed Baekje and Silla successively, unified the peninsula, and laid a foundation for nearly 200 years for the Goryeo royal clan.
……
A dark and windy night.
More than 1,000 large ships that had been at sea for four or five days tore through the silent sea and crashed straight into a wild beach northwest of Licheng Port.
Soon, numerous loud noises rang out one after another—the first big ships had run aground, crashing into the mud and sand of the wild beach.
Standing on the largest of them, a super large ship that was fifty zhang long, Cai Yi quietly watched all this, waiting for a battle that could come at any time......
Although there will definitely be a loss of many warships, in any case, the front battalion of the amphibious army can be considered to be safely docked.
Li Bao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then personally commanded the front battalion of the amphibious army to carry out a beach-rushing landing.
Small boats were lowered from the big ships in an orderly manner.
The officers and men of the front battalion of the amphibious army jumped from the big boat to the small boat in an orderly manner according to the steps they had trained countless times, and then rowed the small boat to the shore with the same pace.
one.
Two ships.
Three ships.
……
More and more small boats are successfully landing.
And the officers and men of the former battalion of the amphibious army who landed had a clear division of labor and established a bridgehead on the shore.
There are more and more officers and men of the amphibious army on the shore.
The bridgehead is getting bigger and stronger.
Standing on the bow of the boat and seeing all this with a telescope, Cai Ying's heart finally let go of a little.
He looked left and right.
I saw a full moon reflected on the sea, leading to at least tens of thousands of fires.
After all the officers and men of the front battalion of the amphibious army have landed and established strong fortifications on this unknown wild beach.
The officers and men of the front battalion of the amphibious army began to row the small boats back to the big ships, and then picked up the soldiers and war horses of the Jinwu Army on the big ships one after another.
By the time it was almost dawn, the front and middle battalions of the Amphibious Army, the front, middle and left battalions of the Tabai Army, together with their horses, had all landed.
Cai Yi and the others never expected that no one would find them during the whole process.
Cai still couldn't help but sigh a little: "It seems that Goryeo has been peaceful for too long. ”
Actually-
It's not like that.
Although the Battle of Holadian more than ten years ago ended with the defeat of Goryeo and the victory of the Jurchens, which eventually led to the unification of Jurchen society and created conditions for the establishment of Daikim, it does not mean that Goryeo has always been the losing side in that war.
It was a six-year tug-of-war.
The most glorious stage of Goryeo is, Yin Qian led an army of 170,000, numbered 200,000, from the land and water to launch a comprehensive attack on Haoladian in five ways, because it was a sudden attack, the Jurchens were not prepared, their chieftain was booby-trapped, so it was more passive, it was to behead more than 6,000 Jurchen troops, capture more than 1,000 people, and break through more than 130 villages, the next year, Goryeo built nine cities in this area, Xianzhou, Yingzhou, Xiongzhou, Fuzhou, Jizhou, Gongjun Town, Tongtai Town, Chongning Town, and Zhenyang Town, when the northeastern boundary of Goryeo moved a large piece to the north.
Therefore, it is not that Goryeo has not experienced war.
However, in this era, there has not been a beach-rushing landing war, and the Korean Peninsula has never experienced such a war.
In the limited history of wars between the Korean Peninsula and the Central Plains Dynasty, the vast majority of the Central Plains Dynasty fought from the north to the south, and the Tang Dynasty had a naval battle, but it was also fought from the south to the north to prepare for the landing in Jeolla Province.
As a result, Goryeo did not have such a defensive method of warfare at all.
As a result, the Jinwu army completed what should have been the most difficult battle without a single soldier being injured.
Seeing the victory in the first battle, Cai still immediately sent someone to inform Han Shizhong, the commander of the Chinese army who was still on the road, to ask the 50,000 army led by him to speed up the march, and to let Yue Fei, the commander of the rear army, seize the time to prepare for war and be ready for reinforcements at any time.
Of course, Cai still did not give up the defense of the Yanyun region because he wanted to shift his focus to Goryeo.
Cai still didn't want to cause huge losses to himself by retreating in a hurry.
Therefore, Cai still sent people to tell Chen Yu and Wu Jue, who were in charge of defense, that they must not slack off at this critical moment.
Without eating a bite of food, Wang De led the 6,000 white troops who had already landed to seize Licheng Port first, fighting for a safe landing place for the large army.
……
Wang De was holding his breath in his heart, he was not convinced that Cai was still ready to let Liu Qi serve as the commander of the former military capital.
In Wang De's mind, he is not as good as Yue Fei, Wu Jue, and Han Shizhong, even if Liu Qi He De can control him Wang De?
Moreover, if he Wang De can successfully capture Licheng Port, then he Wang Deke will make the first contribution to the founding of the country - this is the first battle after setting foot on the peninsula, and it is destined to be recorded in the annals of history.
While galloping, Wang De asked a man dressed as a scribe: "Wang Jiyi, I heard that this Licheng Port is the starting place of King Goryeo, why is there less than a thousand people in the garrison?" ”
Although Wang De was eager to fight at this time, he was still quite cautious, after all, this Goryeo was an extremely unfamiliar place to him and the Jin Wu army.
Wang Jiyi is actually Cai Ying's friend Wang Shoucheng.
At the beginning, after Wang Shoucheng gave Cai Yi three little eunuchs, three Goryeo maidservants, and three Japanese kaki on behalf of Wang Zezhen's family, the two became friends.
Later, Cai still made a fortune, and Wang Shoucheng came to defect to Cai Ying.
Cai is still generous, and he has a clever messenger for Wang Shoucheng.
Wang Shoucheng has been by Cai Ying's side because of this, witnessing that Cai still almost became the emperor, and at the same time, at some time, Wang Shoucheng will talk to Cai still about Goryeo and Japan.
It can be said that Cai's understanding of Goryeo and Japan in this era almost all comes from Wang Shoucheng.
Not long ago, after Cai still decided to capture Goryeo and make it his shelter, he asked Wang Shoucheng to help him find a hundred guides and interpreters.
Wang Shoucheng immediately went home, and then brought a hundred men who could speak Goryeo to Cai Ying.
This time, the battle to capture Licheng Port was very important, it was related to the success or failure of this battle, and Cai still asked Wang Shoucheng to personally capture Licheng Port with Wang De.
Wang Shoucheng explained: "General Wang is relieved, it is true that Licheng Port is the largest port in Goryeo, and it is the hometown of King Fan of Goryeo, but it is true that there are only 1,000 Goryeo troops and 600 Wangjung. ”
Wang De asked: "What is the regular army?" What is Wangjun again? ”
Wang Shoucheng replied: "To put it simply, this 'Zheng Army' is equivalent to the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, and the 'Wang Army' is equivalent to the Xiang Army of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Wang Shoucheng said: "My family trades with Goryeo all the year round, and I have to run dozens of times a year, so I know Goryeo very well, and I know this Licheng Port even better. ”
After a pause, Wang Shoucheng continued: "The main army of the Goryeo Jing Army has established two armies and six guards, and is called the 'eight guards', with a total of forty-five leaders, each with a thousand people, which is equivalent to the two commanders of our Great Song Dynasty. The Wangjun stationed in the capital was also forty-five leaders, each with 600 leaders, slightly more than the number of commanders in the Great Song Dynasty, with a total of 27,000 people, plus 3,500 generals, a total of more than 75,500 people. ”
Seeing that Wang Shoucheng was like a few treasures, and his words were very detailed, Wang De relaxed a little, and he said: "The Lord can get Wang Jiyi's help, and he will be able to settle Goryeo in a battle, and lay a territory for everyone to live in, and Wang Jiyi will definitely be reused by the Lord." ”
Wang Shoucheng smiled a little excitedly!
Wang Shoucheng also spent a lot of time in the Jinwu Army, so he naturally knew how powerful the Jinwu Army was.
Even, Wang Shoucheng once thought that Cai would still become the emperor soon.
It's a pity that at the last moment, Cai still chose to give up Yanyun and capture Goryeo instead.
For many, this is an outcome that is difficult for them to accept.
But for Wang Shoucheng, who has never made achievements, this is a rare opportunity.
Money.
As the eldest son and grandson of Wang Zezhen's family, Wang Shoucheng is not lacking.
What Wang Shoucheng lacks is fame, power, and status.
Shinong Industry and Commerce.
Merchants were extremely disgraceful in this era.
Only by entering the taxi can you become a real master, and Wang Zezhen's family can also become a real first-class family.
Therefore, Wang Shoucheng must perform well this time and strive to create a brilliant future for himself and his family.
The army marched at a rapid pace, until the sky turned white, and finally the scenery of Goryeo was presented to everyone one by one.
But listening to the running water puff, it's not cheerful.
It turns out -
In the stream, the people of Goryeo are bathing in the water and purifying themselves.
Someone lost his voice and said: "How can the folk customs here be so unbearable, early in the morning, this adult man and woman are bathing in the stream, not to mention, and they are still not wearing clothes!" ”
Wang Shoucheng said with a smile: "The local people's customs are like this, there is no need to be weird, in fact, it is normal to think about it, after all, this is a place outside the world, and it is inevitable that there are some bad customs." ”
Wang De ordered that the soldiers were not allowed to stay and watch, and whoever was half a step slower would be confined for ten days.
The soldiers who stepped on the White Army dared to disobey the order, and they all bowed their heads and hurried away.
When the people of Goryeo in the stream saw this army of bright armor coming out of nowhere, they were so surprised that they even got up to watch, and even the women in the stream stood up without any shame.
Nothing to say all the way.
It is less than three miles away from the port of Licheng.
Wang De raised his gun and said, "Brothers, you must work together to receive this great achievement with me!" ”
10,000 white troops shouted in unison:
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
“……”
Taking advantage of the monstrous morale at this time, Wang De marched with his army.
It didn't take long for the White Army to be in the harbor.
With a calculating heart or not, and with 6,000 elite cavalry, he fought against a third-rate army of more than 1,000 who had never fought a war, and the results were self-evident.
The White Army captured the port of Licheng in the first battle.
Just when Wang De sent people back to report to Cai still so that the rest of the army could enter the port and land, smoke and dust suddenly rose in the distance.
Soon the scouts came with the news that "two or three thousand cavalry are rushing towards the port of Licheng." ”
Wang Shoucheng said: "It may be the defenders who came from Licheng City to reinforce it." ”
Wang Dedao: "The reaction is quite fast. ”
Wang De didn't talk nonsense, and shouted: "The left battalion stays to meet the army, and the front battalion and the middle battalion will meet the general." ”
After speaking, Wang De rushed out first......
