Chapter 173: Dongdu
The army is gradually approaching, and Xu Fenglai has already seen clearly that the soldiers of the first row of the Broken Army, with steel knives on their waists, spears on their shoulders, and iron armor, every time they take a step, they kick out the same side of the foot, their movements are chic, beautiful, and neat and impeccable.
Closer, closer, Xu Fenglai squinted his old eyes hard, hoping to see more clearly.
At this time, Xu Fenglai suddenly had an astonishing appearance: the edge of each soldier's phalanx in the advance seemed to be smoothed by a ghost with a knife and axe, it was so neat and straight that it made people panic!
Xu Fenglai had been a military officer of the Goryeo State for a period of time before, and he was barely a person who knew the soldiers, so he subconsciously took two steps back.
Compared with the imposing torrent of steel in front of them, the crooked and crooked marching procession of the Goryeo official army is simply like a child's house, and it is not worth mentioning at all!
"Yikes." Xu Fenglai felt a sharp pain in his head, he looked at it intently, and he didn't pay attention, and actually broke several rat whiskers.
Liu Heyang led the team to the shore of the Yellow Sea, and he ordered loudly: "Stay put." The sound of the brass trumpet then sounded.
Xu Fenglai was surprised to realize that from Liu Heyang's order to the soldiers of the Broken Army, they completely stopped, and only advanced two steps.
There was no pushing, no noise, and no noise, and the soldiers of the Broken Army were like stone statues that had been cast on the ground, not moving at all, and they couldn't tell who was the earth and who was the soldiers?
The people who watched the excitement at the scene originally chatted energetically and pointed their fingers. However, I don't know how. The crowd gradually became silent.
When Xu Fenglai saw this situation, he couldn't help but sigh, he suddenly realized a terrible thing, and introduced the tiger-like army into the Goryeo Kingdom. Is it a curse or a blessing?
After Liu Heyang and the sailors confirmed the boarding order discussed in advance, they immediately ordered, "All the troops board the boat!" ”
Xu Fenglai watched as the soldiers of the Broken Army were under the command of the officer's short command. Board the ship accordingly.
The soldiers in front boarded the ship in an orderly manner, while the soldiers in the back stood still like a mountain, like stone pillars, firmly nailed to the ground.
At this time, a group of cavalry came from the rear of the ranks. Stepping on the billowing smoke and dust, slowly coming.
The condescending Xu Feng saw it very clearly, and in the middle of the cavalry ranks, there was a very eye-catching small flag, with a large character in seal script written on it: Li.
Xu Fenglai knew in his heart that Li Zhongyi himself finally appeared, alas, Li Dashuai. Contemptible people are waiting for you, waiting so hard!
The ship of the sailor, full of a boatload of men. Immediately, the pole was strutted offshore and headed for the lower reaches of the Yellow River.
Li Zhongyi, who was riding on a horse, saw that his subordinates boarded the boat very quickly, and couldn't help nodding secretly, he had been waiting silently, waiting for the first sailor of the Great Zhou. JAC Water Division.
When Chai Rong personally conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty, he suffered a lot of losses from the Southern Tang Dynasty sailors. He was ruthless in his heart, so he simply gathered craftsmen near Kaifeng. Build a ship.
It's just that ships are easy to build, but sailors are hard to find. It just so happened that Chai Rong ordered the Jianghuai Naval Division to be transferred to Bianjing along the canal, and Li Zhongyi saw the stitches, so he played Chai Rong, and when the Jianghuai Naval Division arrived, the Broken Army boarded the ship and set out again.
According to Li Zhongyi's plan, the army would take a boat along the Yellow River all the way eastward to Yongli Town (present-day Lijin County) in Bohai County, Henan Province, and then cross the Yellow Sea to Goryeo.
After Li Zhongyi boarded the boat, he saw an old man wearing a Goryeo official uniform, and greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Oh, Li Shuai, Xia Guan finally saw you. Your army of captives is really good, and if you go to quell the rebellion, you will definitely be victorious and successful. Xu Fenglai originally planned to vent his bitterness, but after seeing the peak military power of the Broken Army, he temporarily changed his mind, and as soon as they met, he slapped Li Zhongyi's sycophants.
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, arched his hand and said, "Xu Shilang, it's time for you to tell the truth." ”
Xu Fenglai's face changed suddenly, and he was a little weak-hearted, but he pretended to be calm and asked Li Zhongyi: "Li Shuai, what do you mean by this?" Why can't the lower officials understand? ”
Li Zhongyi laughed softly and said, "The Japanese have already hit Hanyang, or Haizhou?" ”
"I haven't arrived in Haizhou......" Xu Fenglai suddenly stopped talking, but it was too late. His heart shook wildly, such a secret thing, even his entourage didn't know, where did Li Zhongyi get the news?
Li Zhongyi smiled coldly, the only time during the entire Goryeo Dynasty that he faced a strong invasion of the Wa Kingdom happened to be the time when the people in his country were at their most powerful.
Although Li Zhongyi can't remember exactly what year he was born, since the Goryeo Kingdom was forced to send someone to Da Zhou for help, it should obviously be this year.
Li Zhongyi couldn't eat accurately, so he deliberately tricked Xu Feng to come, and now, the truth is finally revealed!
Dead stick, running the train with a mouth, without half a word of truth, you know how to lie and deceive people, hehe, let your grandfather and I bump into it, and the fun will be big!
"Xu Shilang, it's all here, do you still want to hide it from me?" Li Zhongyi squeezed Xu Fenglai with a smile.
Since the heavenly secret has been leaked, Xu Fenglai was so depressed that he had to nod and explain: "Li Shuai, it's not that the lower officials want to hide it from you, it's just that the lower officials don't know what the current situation in the country is now. ”
Li Zhongyi secretly sneered, this Xu Fenglai really didn't cry when he didn't see the coffin, and he didn't die if he didn't go to Xihai!
"Xu Shilang, just tell me what you know, there is still a lot of time." Li Zhongyi seemed to have just remembered, and suddenly said, "The soldiers are working very the expedition of the army, and when we arrive in Bohai County, let's rest for three months." ”
Faced with Li Zhongyi's coercion of Chiguoguo, Xu Fenglai was forced to have no choice, so he had to tell the truth with a wry smile.
It turned out that Park Jinjian, the general of the Goryeo Kingdom, was dissatisfied with the death of the former emperor Jeongjong by the current lord of Goryeo, Wang Zhao, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Shuofang Provincial People's Rebellion, not only took the opportunity to raise the anti-flag, but also took the initiative to collude with Fujiwara Dingyori, the left minister of the Japanese people, to discuss the two families to send troops at the same time, echoing the north and south, and conspiring for a great cause.
Because Wang Zhao, the lord of Goryeo, did not take precautions in advance, as a result, Park Jinjian got an excellent opportunity to expand his power.
Then. Fujiwara Joyori, the left minister of the Wa Kingdom, watched for a while, and felt that Park Kim Kyun had already made a noise, and because he coveted the fertile land of Goryeo, he also sent troops from Jeolla Doden in the south.6 All the way to the north, invincible, like a bamboo.
The Goryeo Kingdom was caught in the middle of the attack from the north and the south, and both wanted the Great Zhou to send troops to rescue, but also worried that the Great Zhou reinforcements would take advantage of the opportunity.
So. Xu Fenglai was instructed by Wang Zhao to deliberately conceal the situation of the Japanese attack.
"Who is the commander of this Japanese army?" Li Zhongyi knew that Xu Fenglai must have concealed some news, but the general situation was already understood, and there was still a lot of time anyway. Squeeze the toothpaste slowly, it's not a big deal.
"It's Fujiwara Minori's younger brother, the right minister Fujiwara Shisuke, and the strength of the Japanese is about 30,000." Xu Fenglai didn't know the bottom in his heart, so he could only estimate a number based on guesses.
"How many people are there under Park Jinjian?" Li Zhongyi did not ask about the situation of the Japanese people for the time being, but instead asked about Park Jinjian's strength.
"The thief has more than 10,000 subordinates. After gathering the rebels, I am afraid that there are more than 50,000 soldiers and horses. Xu Fenglai thought to himself, it was because of Park Jinjian who attracted the widows. That's why Goryeo is facing an unusually passive situation.
"How many soldiers and horses does your country's standing army have?" Li Zhongyi knew that Xu Fenglai would definitely lie, but he deliberately squeezed him and wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
Xu Fengla rolled his eyes and said, "Although the country is not wide, it has a large population. There are more than 200,000 standing troops. ”
Li Zhongyi thought to himself, isn't this. There were really so many soldiers and horses, and Park Jinjian's rebel forces had already been extinguished. After driving the Japanese people into the sea, do you still need to ask Da Zhou for help?
The reason why Xu Fenglai refused to tell the truth, Li Zhongyi could naturally understand it, wasn't he worried that the reinforcements of the Great Zhou would take advantage of the fire to rob?
Dead stick, really greedy, obscene, always want to take advantage of the Heavenly Empire, never want to suffer.
On the battlefield, the military situation is changing rapidly, this Xu Fenglai is a civilian official, Li Zhongyi knows it in his heart, and it is in vain to ask if he asks, so he simply put Xu aside.
After Li Zhongyi returned to the handsome cabin, he summoned all the staff officers of the Broken Army to discuss how to deal with the new form?
Yang Lie, who was a staff officer, couldn't help frowning and scolded after listening to Li Zhongyi's introduction: "Dead stick, it's really not a good thing, obviously trying to trap my broken army." ”
Li Zhongyi was stunned for a while, he just inadvertently scolded a mantra, but unexpectedly, Yang Lie learned so quickly.
cough, there is a teacher, there must be a disciple, there is really some truth!
Liao Shanhe pondered for a while and said: "The army has reached the Goryeo Kingdom 6, and the marching map is very important, and the last general is only afraid that the Goryeo Kingdom will not give this kind of national weapon." ”
Li Zhongyi nodded frequently, Liao Shanhe followed him, and as the days went by, he became more and more thoughtful.
Yang Lie added: "Most of the maps in Korea will not be given to us. However, according to the teacher, its territory is narrow from east to west and long from north to south, and with the strength of our surveying and mapping battalion, it is completely possible to draw while marching. ”
Liao Shanhe thought for a while and said, "The kind of monocular made by the teacher...... The telescope is indeed a treasure for observing the terrain, and after two miles away, you can clearly see what the people on the opposite side are doing. ”
The principle of a telescope is actually very simple, you only need to combine a concave lens and a convex lens together.
The problem is that Li Zhongyi can't make lens glass, so he can only ask craftsmen to slowly grind out two different concave and convex mirrors from the expensive crystal he bought, and then use copper as the material to cast a single cylinder that can be stretched.
Because natural crystals are not only scarce, but also surprisingly expensive, Li Zhongyi only made a total of ten monoculars during the few months of military training, and brought them all on board.
Not only the monoculars, Li Zhongyi also found someone to make a special instrument, the Davis quadrant.
The principle of the Davis quadrant is actually very simple, the sailor does not need to try to see the sun as required when using a astrolabe or a simple quadrant, but instead uses a shadow projected on the scale with a stick, the position of the shadow end indicates the height of the sun, so that the latitude can be calculated.
This method of calculating latitude can be accurate to the minute, and the error is still inevitable, but it is already very small.
The best results are achieved when using the Davis quadrant when the deck is calm and the deck is stable. (To be continued)
