Chapter 299: Invaders? Hero? (Ask for a subscription!) )
…
The army that came to reinforce Licheng Port this time was not the miscellaneous fish that Wang De had picked up casually before, but the real elite of Goryeo - Jing Yong.
It turns out -
Goryeo not only imitated the Central Plains Dynasty in all aspects of the official system, but even the military system was full of the shadow of the Central Plains Dynasty.
As with the commanders of the Great Song Forbidden Army, each commander has a battalion number, and each leader under the Eight Guards of the Goryeo Jing Division also has a title, namely Baosheng, Jingyong, Commander, Changling, Hailing, etc.
Among them-
Defend the victory for the infantry army.
The elite and brave who belong to each guard belong to the establishment of the horse army.
At this moment, it is the three thousand elites, and they are also the most powerful guardian force in Licheng City.
In fact, until this time, the Goryeo people here in Licheng did not know that it was Cai Zhen's men and horses who came to attack Yeesung Gang - they thought that several daring Japanese bandits had come together to rob Yeesung Port, and they never thought that the opponent would be a regular army that had been baptized by war.
As a result, these 3,000 brave warriors were defeated by the heavy armored cavalry of the White Army, and then chased and killed by the light cavalry of the White Army for dozens of miles, and they couldn't even go to Licheng City to report the events in Licheng Port.
After sending 3,000 brave soldiers, Wang Youyi, the defender of Licheng City, sent people to Kaijing to inform Kaijing that there was a big enemy sneaking up on Licheng Port, and said that the enemy might be a Kou army composed of several Japanese bandits, and the number was not small, and asked for support.
It can be said that Wang Youyi has overestimated the enemy.
However, what made Wang Youyi collapse was that in less than a day, an army of 100,000 gathered under Licheng City.
Actually-
There were only 50,000 Jinwu troops under the city of Lichengcheng.
It was Liu Qibu's sparse formation, by increasing the distance between the ranks, more trees and banners, weapons, straw men, and lighting more torches at night, that the defenders had the illusion of 100,000.
……
Next.
In the third watch, Jin Wujun buried the pot and made rice.
At the fourth watch, the infantry armies of the Jinwu army began to make preparations for the siege of the city.
But—
Although it was prepared early, Liu Qi, who commanded this battle, never gave the order to attack the city.
It wasn't until dawn that Cai still let the Shenji Zuo Army put a pillar of incense and a swarm of rockets as if he didn't want money.
"Woo Woo Blah ......"
"Woo Woo Blah ......"
"Woo Woo Blah ......"
“……”
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
“……”
The overwhelming unconscionable cannon and a swarm of rockets blew up all the Goryeo soldiers who had taken over the city, how could they have ever seen such a fierce offensive? Is this still the war they know?
Soon, the infantry of the Jinwu army took on a siege posture.
Fortunately, Wang Youyi reacted quickly, he quickly ripped off the clothes of his personal maid, and then ripped off her white belly pocket, and then tied it to a spear and shook it constantly.
Liu Qi, who had been watching the battle with a telescope, ordered the attack to be suspended after seeing this white-bellied pocket.
Soon, Wang Youyi opened his throat and shouted: "On the other side, don't fight anymore, we will open the city and surrender." ”
After hearing the words shouted from the city, Liu Qi sent a loud man from the Wang family to step forward.
The guy came to the city and shouted in standard Goryeo: "My general will only give you a pillar of incense, and after a pillar of incense, if you don't open the city and surrender, after the city is broken, you won't seal the sword for three days!" ”
"This is going to slaughter the city!"
Wang Youyi's face turned pale with fright!
I intend to discuss it with all the lords and nobles in the city.
But when I think about it, those powerful people, especially the members of the royal family, will not listen to him at all.
In that case, there is a possibility that it will be destroyed by Licheng Castle.
Secretly gritting his teeth, Wang Youyi decided to cut first and then play.
Determined to be certain, Wang Youyi immediately took his cronies to open the city gate.
As soon as Wang Youyi opened the city gate, the dignitaries and nobles in the city brought their guards and slaves to reinforce them.
Seeing that Wang Youyi had already opened the door to dedicate the city, a young man dressed in fine clothes was furious, and then he wanted to take his guards and slaves to seize the city gate.
But the young man in fine clothes took two steps with his sword, and a sharp arrow struck him in the face, and the next moment he rolled over and fell to the ground.
Immediately after, a thunderous rumble sounded on the ground.
Wang Youyi turned his head and saw that at least 3,000 heavily armored cavalry armed to the teeth had rushed into the city.
The leader of the generals, grinning teeth, a live Yaksha.
The Yaksha ghost rushed into the city first, and then indiscriminately, anyone with a weapon in his hand, who touched it, was killed.
The same is true of the heavily armored cavalry behind the Yakshas, who are on a rampage, like a stream of steel, and the gates of the city are wide open, and people are blocking and killing, and Buddhas are blocking and killing Buddhas.
Wang Youyi reacted quickly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Put down your weapon quickly, otherwise you will all die!" ”
As he spoke, Wang Youyi threw his knife to the ground, then squatted under the wall with his head in his hands, praying loudly that he could save his life.
The rumbling, shouting, and crying in my ears seemed to last for a century before it stopped.
Wang Youyi, who was lucky enough to survive, peeked at it, and then vomited irrepressibly!
There were corpses everywhere, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and that wasn't the worst of all.
The most terrible thing was that some of the corpses were trampled by the horses and turned into a mass of flesh.
At this moment, Wang Youyi decided that as soon as this incident passed, he would no longer be a soldier, this was not a human thing at all!
Suddenly!
Someone shouted in Chinese: "Whoever is in charge, please come out, my lord is invited." ”
Immediately after that, someone shouted in Goryeo: "Whoever is in charge, please come out, my lord is invited." Then he added: "The opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune has arrived, you should cherish the opportunity." ”
Wang Youyi's heart moved, and then he shouted in fluent Chinese: "I am Wang Youyi, the defense envoy of this city, I don't know what you have to do?" ”
Seeing that Wang Youyi was not only the defense envoy of the city, but also spoke fluent Chinese, Wang De was overjoyed and hurriedly sent someone to send Wang Youyi to Cai Ying.
Wang Youyi came to the outside of the city with a nervous mood, and then saw Cai Ying, who was surrounded by tens of thousands of troops.
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Youyi saluted Cai and said, "Foreign minister Wang Youyi, I have seen the Lord." ”
Cai still glanced at Wang Youyi, who was familiar with current affairs, with interest, and then asked in fluent Goryeo: "What is your position?" ”
Wang Youyi was a little surprised, Cai still spoke Goryeo so well!
But surprised and surprised, Wang Youyi didn't dare to slack off at all, he hurriedly said: "The foreign minister is the defense envoy of the city. ”
Cai still asked, "How many defenders are there in the city?" ”
Wang Youyi replied: "There is one leader of the army, two leaders of the army, and there are five leaders of the brave army, but they went out of the city yesterday to reinforce ......."
Speaking of which, Wang Youyi couldn't go on - he had already guessed that the three thousand elite warriors must have been annihilated by the army in front of him.
Cai still asked again: "How many soldiers and horses are nearby?" ”
Cai still then added: "I mean near Kaijing." ”
Wang Youyi struggled!
Thinking that even if he didn't say it, someone else would say it, Wang Youyi gritted his teeth and said: "There are only those men and horses in the port and a navy dozens of miles away near Licheng Port, and that navy only has five leaders, one leads the main army, and four leads the Wang army. ”
Now that he has opened this mouth, the next words are easy to say, Wang Youyi said again: "The Beijing army in Kaijing, there are six guards and two armies, the two armies are divided into three leaders, one leader of the Eagle Yang Army, two leaders of the Dragon and Tiger Army, the six guards are divided into forty-two leaders, the left and right guards have Baosheng ten leaders, Jingyong three leaders, Shenhu Wei has Baosheng five leaders, Jingyong two leaders, Xingwei Wei has Baosheng seven leaders, Jingyong five leaders, Jinwu Wei has six leaders of Jingyong, one leader of the service leader, Qianniu Wei has two leaders, one leader under the prison guard, the two armies are all guards, the six guards are combat soldiers, but the left and right guards, Shenhuwei and Xingweiwei are the main force of the Beijing army, responsible for guarding Kaijing, or going out to defend the capital, and are responsible for guarding the Kaijing in peacetime, taking turns to defend the important places on the border every year, and in wartime they are organized into the center, front, rear, left and right five armies into battle, and the subordinate Baosheng is the infantry, and Jingyong is the horse army, Jin Wuwei is responsible for public security, Qianniu Wei is the attendant, and the prison guard is responsible for the palace forbidden city gate. ”
After a pause, Wang Youyi concluded: "In addition, there are forty-five leaders of the state and county armies around Kaijing, about 27,000 people, plus the eight thousand people of the naval army, there should be 80,000 troops around Kaijing." ”
Cai still thought to himself: "It's similar to what Wang Shoucheng said." Immediately, my heart was relieved!
Seeing that Cai still didn't seem to care at all that Goryeo had an army of 80,000 nearby, Wang Youyi was worried!
Cai still asked some more questions, and Wang Youyi knew everything and said everything.
Wang Youyi knows a lot of things.
And because Wang Youyi often dealt with Song Shang, he spoke fluent Chinese.
Cai still simply left Wang Youyi by his side.
Wang De was very efficient, and before he even had an hour, he cleared out all the resistance forces in Licheng City, and then personally went out of the city to invite Cai Ying into the city.
After Cai still entered the city, a series of orders were issued in an orderly manner.
Cai still gave the order at the beginning, and Wang Youyi felt that it was nothing.
But suddenly, Cai still issued two orders in a row: "All official property in Licheng City, including the family property of Goryeo officials, will be confiscated." Raid the homes of all the nobles and free all the slaves and maids. But he resisted, killed him, and then raided his family and asked his family. ”
Wang Youyi listened, and his pupils shrank suddenly!
The clever Wang Youyi has vaguely realized that this is not an ordinary robbery, or even a simple war of power replacement, but an epic war that completely subverts the power structure of Goryeo.
Wang Youyi wanted to stop Cai Ying, because he knew that as soon as Cai Zhen's order was issued, Goryeo would definitely bleed!
This is no fuss.
You know, the slaves and maids of Goryeo have no personal freedom and no hope.
Slaves and maids can be bought and sold, gifted and inherited, private slaves and maids do not even have a household registration, but are attached to the master's household registration, and generally only have a name, no surname, Goryeo strictly restricts the lowly class to become a good person, they think that if the lowly class is allowed to turn into a good person, it is possible to enter the official career through the imperial examination and other ways, occupy important positions, and commit rebellion, so the slave and the maid not only can not participate in the imperial examination, can not be an official, and even in principle, the slave and the maid can only intermarry with the slave and the maid, although in fact there are also cases of good and lowly marriage, but most of them are good men and maids marry, The opposite is rare, and in either case, their children are regarded as lowly people, and the Chronicles of the Criminal Law of the History of Goryeo says, 'The law of the small state, in the eighth generation of the household registration, does not engage in lowly class, and then it is a Shishi; Whoever is cheap, if the father is like the mother, if the father is cheap, the one is cheap. That is to say, if one of the parents is a slave, the child will also be a slave.
And the Goryeo aristocracy has become accustomed to slaves and maids being their private property, and they are very important private property, how can they let go easily?
Once Cai Zhen's order is carried out, the slave who sees hope will definitely follow Cai Zhen to overthrow the ownership of Goryeo.
And the powerful people of Goryeo obviously can't stand still, and it is even impossible to watch their private property become independent.
The two sides will inevitably engage in a bloody battle until one side defeats the other completely......
Wang Youyi looked at Cai Yi not far away, and said in his heart: "If things really develop in that direction, he may not be an aggressor, but a great leader and an indisputable hero who liberated slaves and maids......"
