--Pingzhou

Pyeongju is said to be flat, but in fact, the terrain is gentle hills with an altitude of less than 200 meters from the northwest to the southeast, and there are many large canyons here, so it was even called "Daegu-gun" during the Goguryeo period.

Here, the Yeesung River flows slowly, the Reesung River is more than 300 miles long, and it is one of the important rivers of Goryeo, and the city of Pyeongju stands on the north side of the river, and the city has become a large military camp at this time.

After Pingzhou, and then to Xijing, it is almost a horse Pingchuan, therefore, Wang Yu chose the decisive battle here.

"It's magnificent, it's worth an army of 100,000." Jiang De stood by the river, looking at the mighty military village opposite, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Although the Licheng River is not a real big river, and the water flow is not urgent, it is also considered a natural danger, and if you want to cross it forcefully, I am afraid the loss will not be small." Lu Junyi said beside him that he had been staying here for the past two months, so he was already extremely familiar with the terrain here.

"The benefit of the sailor is not my enemy, and this river will only become a help for us." Jiang De said without worry, "Senior brother, what do you think of the enemy army in Niufeng County?" ”

"Niufeng County is at a high place, even if our army defeats the enemy in Pingzhou, but Tuo Junjing can't boldly pursue without surrendering, this is the way for Wang Yu to give himself a way to live." Lu Junyi analyzed: "After Niufeng County, there are endless mountain ranges, and if our army turns its head to attack them, it will be difficult to win quickly. ”

"Yes, this Wang Mata is not considered to be victorious, but he is smart first, so how should Senior Brother Jue's battle be fought?"

"Attack Pingzhou openly, take Huangzhou secretly!" Lu Junyi pointed to the west and said, "That Huangzhou is the largest city in the south of Xijing, less than one hundred and fifty miles away, very close to the sea, originally Tuo Junjing led an army of 50,000 troops stationed there, and now Wang Yu let him go to Niufeng County in order to prevent him from making trouble, and this Huangzhou is extremely empty."

If our army sends a surprise soldier to break through Huangzhou, it will cut off the connection between Xijing and Pingzhou, and the Goryeo army will be defeated at that time! ”

"Good plan! However, our army used the sailor to attack Kaijing before, so wouldn't Wang Yu be prepared? Jiang De said with some concern.

"It depends on how well we fight in front, as long as the front is tight, even if there is an ambush, there will definitely not be much." Lu Junyi said, "Soldiers, with the right fit, with the odd victory, junior brother, the risk that should be taken is still to be taken." ”

Jiang De pursed his lips and said, "Then let the battle situation force Wang Yu to not leave a large army in Huangzhou, this battle Zhu Wu has set a strategy to attack the heart, I think I will test it tonight!" ”

In the Goryeo military camp on the other side, Wang Yu also looked at the Yangsan military camp opposite with a telescope, and only put it down for a long time and said, "Jeju Island... Yangsan... Wow, it's really these Song thieves, I want to see what these people are capable of. ”

At this time, Wang Ma saw a small boat rowing over, and knew that it was a messenger, and instead of attacking, the Goryeo army also sent a small boat to contact him, and after a while, a letter was delivered to Wang Mata.

Wang Yu read the letter, snorted, and immediately called for the general to discuss the matter.

Wang Yu lives in the city, so the place of discussion is the original Pingzhou Yamen Hall, fortunately this hall is very large, hundreds of people are sitting, and after everyone sits down, Wang Yu took the letter and said, "Jiang Xinzhi, the leader of the thief army, sent someone to deliver a letter, about our army will hunt in Licheng River in three days, and also ask us to retreat ten miles, let them cross the river to fight, what do you think?" ”

"The last general thinks that it is absolutely impossible, and the Lichengjiang River is a natural danger, and our army is relying on this natural danger to distance the enemy, if you give up the battlefield, won't you be defeated without defeat?" Yin Yanyi first said that he had confronted Lu Junyi here for two months, and the two armies had fought each other, so he naturally knew the strength of the Liangshan army, and he even felt that although his side was twice as strong as the enemy army, it would be good to be able to hold Lichengjiang without losing.

"General Yin Yanyi is overly cautious." A veteran general came out of the column and said with a smile: "Our army has 100,000 people, and we are here to recover the capital, we are struggling with how to cross the river without ships, and now the enemy is willing to cross the river to attack, as long as our army crosses the river and attack, the enemy army will be defeated, this is a winless and victorious situation, how can it not be done?" ”

It was the veteran Wang Zizhi who spoke, and many people nodded again and again when they heard it, feeling reasonable.

"What the old general said makes sense, the elite of our army gathered, and there are divine cavalry to help, as long as the enemy crosses the river, kills with bows and crossbows, and then attacks its flanks with divine cavalry, the army covers the past, and it will surely win!" Another general said, "King, this is a fighter!" ”

Yin Yanyi saw that Wang Yu's face was quite moved, and hurriedly said, "King, don't forget the battle of Huangshui in the past!" A lesson from the past, a teacher from the back! ”

In the battle of Weishui in the past, the Western Jin Dynasty and the former Qin Dynasty were arrayed from each other, and some people suggested to Fu Jian to retreat and fight a decisive battle. General Zhu Qin thought that it was safer to block the enemy's waterfront, but Fu Jian thought that he could take the initiative to fight a duel if he attacked halfway. When the Qin army moved back, the Jin army crossed the water and assaulted. Zhu Xu shouted behind the Qin army: "The Qin army on the front line is defeated!" The Qin army was in chaos, and then the Jin army attacked with all its strength and defeated the Qin army. It became famous in history as the battle of winning more with less.

"General Yin Yanyi, why is Qin's unrighteous division on a par with my Wang division before!" Wang Zizhi immediately retorted, "At the time of the water, the former Qin was tyrannical, which made Zhu Xu rebel, and this is the real cause of defeat. At this time, the enemy army was tyrannical and unpopular, I don't know how many people in Kaijing secretly communicated in the hope that our army would win, not to mention that our army was fighting this battle to open Beijing, if we did not defeat the enemy army, how could we recover Kaijing? ”

Yin Yanyi wanted to say more, but Wang Yu was obviously moved by what he said, he patted his thigh and said, "What General Wang said is very lonely, okay, I will return to the book immediately, and the war will start in three days!" ”

Yin Yanyi saw that Wang Yu had made up his mind, so he said, "King, since this is the case, this battle must defeat the enemy army in one battle, and the last general is willing to fight!" ”

"Good! This battle will be handed over to General Yin Yanyi! ”

Wang Yu is still very relieved about Yin Yanyi, otherwise he would not have left him in Pingzhou to resist the enemy last time.

——

"Wang Yu's reply is here, and in three days, he will lead his army to retreat ten miles." Jiang De said to everyone in the big tent.

"Take the initiative to retreat ten miles? Since the Battle of Weishui, it seems that no one has dared to do this, does this Wang Mata think that he will eat us? Qin Ming gasped, so angry that he almost wanted to lead his troops to rush over and kill the Quartet.

"Our army fights local tyrants in South Goryeo and divides the land, and many nobles from all over the country hate us to the core, in the eyes of Wang Yu, I am afraid that we are just thieves, and the Beifu soldiers of Xie Gong in the past are completely incomparable." Zhu Wu said lightly shaking the feather fan.

"Hmph, then I want to see who is the real unrighteous and helpless, and order Huang Da and others to act according to the plan and shoot at Goryeo Dazhai at night." Jiang De snorted and said.

In the middle of the night, a huge fleet appeared on the Licheng River, and the Sentinels of Goryeo had already discovered the abnormal movement.

After the sailors ran out, the remaining Goryeo sailors were pitifully small, and most of the current water villages were private soldiers contributed by various nobles.

Huang Da stood at the bow of the boat, with some emotion, he thought that his life was to eat and take cards on the river for a lifetime, but he didn't expect to be able to participate in such a battle to destroy the country at this time, and he really had no regrets in this life.

"Drumming!" Huang Da shouted, and suddenly the drums sounded, and the sergeants of the Goryeo army became even more nervous, they all knew that the enemy attack was about to begin.

"These damn thieves really don't keep their promises, and they made an appointment for a decisive battle in three days, but they sneak attack tonight!" Yin Yanyi looked at the fleet on the river and said hatefully.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" A muffled sound sounded, and Yin Yanyi saw with his own eyes that a stone ball crashed into the water village and exploded.

"Fight back! Counterattack! Shoot the arrow!! Yin Yanyi shouted loudly, and the Goryeo archers who had been waiting for a long time immediately fired arrows to counterattack, and some bed crossbows also shot at the fleet, and even birds did not dare to pass in the sky, and the prepared fleet erected wooden planks on one side, and iron sheets were added to the wooden boards, and those arrows were blocked, and almost no one was injured.

"It's strange, the attack on the other side doesn't seem to have a target at all." Yin Yanyi looked at the place where the ballista of the Liangshan Shan Water Division was fired, and only felt that the landing point of the Liangshan ballista was very strange, and it stands to reason that the landing point should be the archers who shot in front, but the landing points were all in the Dazhai behind.

"Oh no! General, the enemy is not hitting stone bullets, but this! An officer hurriedly ran in with a cloth bag, handed it to Yin Yanyi and said, "The enemy is all hollow wooden balls, and there are still letters in them." ”

"What? Show me! Yin Yanyi reached out and took the cloth bag and found that it was actually a wooden ball, and the wooden ball had been broken into several pieces, and the letters inside were exposed.

Yin Yanyi opened the letter and found that it was written in Chinese characters: "Compatriots in the north, I am Park Yuanchun who lives in Zhenzhou, Zhongyuan, and this is my dictated letter, because although I began to learn to write in the army, I didn't learn well enough, so I could only dictate and ask the captain to help me write this letter."

I am a tenant, my father is also a tenant, my grandfather is still a tenant, I heard my father say, our family was a tenant more than 100 years ago, and my ancestors have helped the village chief farm for generations.

Our family is on a hillside, there are only two grass houses, there are no cows, horses, pigs and sheep, because our family is very poor, I have never known why we are so poor, so poor that my sister was sold when she was four years old, so poor that I can't eat enough to do things every day.

It wasn't until more than a month ago that the army from Jeju Island came, and the village chief said that these people were here to kill people and set fires, and we were very scared at that time, so we were ready to resist with bows and arrows made by ourselves, but the army from Jeju Island said that they were the army of the poor and came to help the poor.

Am I not poor? I was stunned at the time, because there had been an army before, and it was all this lord, that lord's army, and no one had ever said that they were poor people's army.

We are just peasants, we don't know how to fight at all, and after the village chief's dogleg was killed, we surrendered, oh yes, the dogleg is the one who helps those bad people do bad things, I think it's really appropriate, that's what the captain told me.

After we surrendered, the governor of Jeju Island called us to a meeting and asked us if the village chief had done something bad and if he deserved to die, if he deserved to die, they would kill him, and if we said that we didn't deserve to die, they would let him go, and whether he died or not, they would give us land.

We don't believe in the division of land, but if the village chief should be killed, it should be killed! We borrowed his grain during the disaster year, and we couldn't afford to pay it back at all because the interest was high, as long as someone borrowed, we could only sell the land and sell our children, and many people were forced to commit suicide.

In the end, the village chief died, and several families who often did evil were also voted to kill, and then we divided the fields, and when the land deed was handed over to my father, my father cried all night, and then asked me to be a soldier with the army of Jeju Island, saying that there is no such good army in the world, and only if such an army wins the world, we poor people will have a good life.

I also think so, after becoming a soldier, although the military discipline in our army is very strict, but the captain and comrades-in-arms are very friendly, although when the training is not qualified, the captain will yell at us, but at night when one of my comrades-in-arms is homesick and wants to cry, the captain sings to stop him, and also gives us his own food to eat.

The captain said, our Goryeo was originally part of the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and our Goryeo people are actually no different from the Song people, for three thousand years, they are all one family, we are actually returning this time, and the captain also said that the current Goryeo king is also the prince of the Tang Dynasty, so he is not an outsider at all. The captain also said that when he reached the north, he would also distribute land to the people in the north, so that the poor people in the north could also live a good life.

I want to say, we are all poor, why should we give life to the ambitions of those noble lords? In the past, no one was in charge of our own affairs, but now that the Jeju Island Army is here, what are we afraid of? Compatriots in the north, hurry up and get ready, if you are timid, you will not be able to work, if you are bold, kill those bad chiefs, and come to us, we will fight the local tyrants and divide the land together! ”

The letter is very long, a large piece of paper is full, there is nothing in it, it is all the same words as chatting, but that's it, those mud legs can understand, if it is really all Zihu, Yin Yanyi will not be afraid, but now, Yin Yanyi dares to guarantee that as long as this letter spreads, it will not be long before the morale of the army on his side will collapse, not to mention anything else, just preventing the defection of the sergeants below will cost them their lives.

Whose army is not made up of mud legs, where are so many nobles!

And this letter is printed at a glance, and the opposite fleet may have thrown thousands of wooden balls to Dazhai, once this letter is spread, can this battle be fought?

"Collect! Collect these letters, and !! them quickly I'm going to see the king now! Yin Yanyi shouted anxiously, and then looked at the opposite fleet, he finally knew that these people were not here to attack, but to disturb his army's heart, this plan is poisonous!!
