Chapter 20: The Raid on Beisha (Part I)
Li Chengzong is actually not very satisfied with the navy he has built single-handedly, that is because he has not been able to solve the problem of naval artillery for a while, and a navy that has not achieved firearms can also be called a navy? Since the naval guns could not be counted on, they could only be replaced by bed crossbows and counterweight trebuchets, and the navy, which had been trained for a long time, should also go to see the blood.
"Big brother, I decided to pull the navy out to see blood, and your marines will also accompany you, I will come to the naval battle, and you will be responsible for the land battle......." Li Chengzong found Su Lie and told his righteous brother what he thought.
"Well, okay, so what we're aiming for?" Su Lie looked at Li Chengzong.
"Here, the Goguryeo people stole the Beisha City established by our Han people in Liaodong, and the Miaodao Islands in the south, Beisha City is the battlefield for us to loot property, and the strategic location of the Miaodao Islands is too important to be controlled in our hands......" Li Chengzong pointed to his strategic goal on the map.
"Brother Xian, Brother Wei thinks that our army should first take the Miaodao Islands, and then use them as a base to launch a siege on the cities along the coast of Goguryeo..... I heard from the Military Intelligence Department that there is a Goguryeo shipbuilding workshop in Beisha City, and they store a lot of timber there, all of which are more than 100 years old, which is a lot of money, how can we not take it? "Su Lie's strategic vision is also very vicious.
"Well, according to what you said, eldest brother, let's take this Miaodao archipelago first, and then scourge the Goguryeo people, the Goguryeo people and my Han people are feuds, the men are captured as slaves, the women are hehehe, the Goryeo maids......" Li Chengzong smiled wickedly.
"Well, let's do it, let the boys from the Joint Staff come up with a set of combat plans first, and then the two of us will decide what to do." Su Lie thought about it and then responded to Li Chengzong.
"Yes, yes, one person is short in wisdom, and everyone is wise, if they don't participate, won't the position of this staff officer and military aircraft be set up in vain?" Li Chengzong was deeply convinced of Su Lie's words.
On October 15, the twelfth year of the Great Cause, on the naval pier of Fuyang Port, the departure ceremony was underway, and the two big leaders of the Fuyang Army (this is the temporary name of the army established by the brothers Li Chengzong and Su Lie) boarded the warship. Don't they keep a housekeeper?
No one could have imagined that Li Chengzong, the commander of the Fuyang Army and the admiral of the navy, left his daughter-in-law Liu Tao'er who had not passed through the door to watch his family, the reason for this arrangement was because Su Lie had a very high evaluation of Liu Tao'er, he thought that if Liu Tao'er was a man, he might not be less than a few famous generals in the world, Li Chengzong didn't expect that this girl who had followed him since he crossed over had a very high military and political talent, could it be that the old Li family had to add a Liu Tao'er in addition to a heroine like Li Xiuning?
However, the facts have also proved that Liu Taoer is indeed very powerful, her prestige in the Fuyang Army is now second only to Li Chengzong and Su Lie, in Fuyang, people have to give a thumbs up as long as they mention Liu Tao'er, and shout General Liu respectfully, and even in Dou Jiande's Xia Army, Gao Kaidao's Yan Army, and the righteous army in Qilu and other places Those who have fought with Liu Tao'er call Liu Tao'er "oleander", which means that Liu Tao'er doesn't look gorgeous and enchanting in appearance, but in fact she is an out-and-out overlord cannibal flower, don't be deceived by her appearance, That's right, Liu Taoer used soldiers to inherit Li Chengzong, and he didn't follow Su Lie's path, which was extremely cunning, and it was Liu Taoer who didn't play cards according to the routine. With such an absolutely assured master, Su Lie and Li Chengzong can rest assured and boldly go out to fight.
The navy of the Fuyang Army should really be more serious, this is a navy that has been armed to the pinnacle of cold weapons by Li Chengzong, and on their main combat ship, the Bai Ze-class battleship is not only equipped with a three-bow bed crossbow and a stone thrower, but also Li Chengzong, a shameless guy, actually made up the thunderbolt bomb and the fierce fire oil tank, the two big killing weapons, he raised the equipment level of the Fuyang Army Navy to the naval level of the two Song Dynasty at once, which is also thanks to the Fuyang territory he occupied is the junction of the Dagang Oilfield and the Shengli Oilfield in the later generations. The shameless Li Chengzong accidentally found a shallow buried oil well on a saline-alkali land, otherwise he would really not be able to use this fierce oil tank.
After Li Chengzong explained a few words to Liu Tao'er about being optimistic about his home and not having an accident, he boarded the flagship of the navy Bai Ze with Su Lie, raised the command flag, and then turned the bow of the ship, and the fleet rushed to Changshan, which is known as Penglai Wonderland, and the direction of the Miaodao Islands pounced.
Miaodao Islands is the Changdao County of the later generations, at this time, this geographically important island only some fishermen who lost their land and were forced to fish for a living settled here, but they did not escape the control of the family, the Qi family is a big power on the Jiaodong Peninsula, they have the shadow of the Qinghe Cui clan behind them, and the Qinghe Cui clan as a fighter in the family, they have long noticed Li Chengzong and Su Lie's Fuyang Army, and all political forces, they are a little bit of oil and salt on this, The military and political forces that have not been able to win over them have some big heads.
The reason why Li Chengzong wants to take the Miaodao Islands is mainly to open the passage to the Jiaodong Peninsula, also because although the Jiaodong Peninsula has the Qi family as an agent of the small and medium-sized family and the Cui family, it is also a weak place for the family, and the natural harbors on the Jiaodong Peninsula have been coveted by Li Chengzong for a long time.
The Fuyang Navy landed on Wangfu Reef on Long Island, and soon Li Chengzong and Su Lie took the Miaodao Islands without much effort, leaving behind a part of the baggage sappers (this is Li Chengzong's creation, there is no way, there is no such thing as engineers in the ancient military generation.......) A supply base was built in the Miaodao Islands, while the pirate-flagged fleet quietly headed north, heading for Beisha City, the center of Goguryeo's rule in southern Liaoning.
In the war room of the flagship Bai Ze, the leaders of the Fuyang Army, Navy and Marine Corps gathered together, the sand table of Beisha City was full of dense flags, the enemy, our side, were clearly distinguished, and the accompanying combat staff officers were actively expressing their opinions, well, they should be the first batch of indigenous staff officers in this time and space, while Li Chengzong and Su Lie were on the other side studying how to land and how to take Beisha City at the lowest cost.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in front of us is the Goguryeo people in Beisha City, and it seems that they have not yet discovered our arrival................... Beisha City is a mountain city built by the Goguryeo people in Daheisheng, it is a little difficult to take it, as long as your navy can smash the gate of Beisha City, we have the ability to gnaw this hard bone......."
"The key is still the sailors of the Goguryeo people, where are they?"
"Speaking of which, we still have to find the sailors of the Goguryeo people and kill it........"
