Chapter 199: The Flesh Mill (Subscription Requested!) )
…
There is still a long way to go from Jeju Island, and Wu Yanzhong and Zheng Zhichang's faces have become very bad!
The port of Incheon was not demolished, but it was obviously rebuilt, no, to be precise, it should have been destroyed - ships can only dock in a very small wharf, and it is impossible to park too many ships at a time in that small wharf, and if it is a large ship with a load of 50,000 stones, it can dock at most four ships at a time, that is, if they land from the wharf, they can send 2,000 people to land at most at one time, and the premise is that their ship can land smoothly, and there are many obstacles set up on the wharf. There is no way to pass quickly on it, and there are many fortifications, and the figures in it are shaking, and if you think about it with your heels, you can also think that this pier will be an extremely difficult bone to gnaw!
Zheng Zhichang asked Wu Yanzhong: "Old general, what should we do?" ”
Wu Yanpet said: "Salute first, then soldiers, send messengers to persuade surrender first, and at the same time send sentinels to find other places where they can land and check the terrain on the dock...... Prepare to storm from the docks. ”
"Storming from the docks? They're well prepared on the docks! Zheng Zhichang said.
Wu Yanpet said: "Although attacking from the dock is harsh, and there will be great casualties, the dock is the only place that can be attacked, marshal, please look at the shore." ”
Zheng Zhichang looked at it carefully for a while and said, "Jing Yong! ”
Wu Yanpet said: "They use mobile cavalry to guard the coast, we have no chance to land from the coast, we can only seize this dock, if we can stand on the dock, and then advance little by little, as long as we go to this dock, we can launch an offensive." ”
Zheng Zhichang swallowed his saliva dryly and said, "How many sergeants do you have to die here?" ”
Wu Yanpet said lightly: "Ci is not in charge of the soldiers. ”
Zheng Zhichang was silent, for the first time, this was the first time he felt that he didn't seem to be the marshal.
Wu Yanzhong glanced at Zheng Zhichang, and then said: "This letter of persuasion still needs to be written by the marshal, and we are all martial artists who are not proficient in literature and ink, and we can't do such a big thing." ”
Zheng Zhichang did not shirk, and picked up the pen and wrote a splendid and sharp letter of persuasion.
At the same time, Wu Yanzhong also began to arrange sentinels to explore the way, let people arrange for people to bury pots and cook, let people prepare ladders, wooden curtains, and big shields, let people set up trebuchets on big ships, and let people arrange archers, in short, to prepare for a strong attack.
The warrior who went to deliver the letter of persuasion went quickly, and died faster - it was not long before his head was hung high, and he was afraid that he would be cut off before he even took out the letter of persuasion that Zheng Zhichang had worked so hard to write.
Seeing this, Zheng Zhichang was furious: "Barbaric! I don't even understand that the two countries are not going to fight each other! ”
Wu Yanpet shook his head and didn't say anything.
Zheng Zhichang asked, "What should we do?" ”
Wu Yanpet said: "Let's attack directly." ”
Zheng Zhichang, who already knew that the battlefield was not something that could be played after reading a few military books, said: "It's all up to the old general." ”
Wu Yanpet didn't talk nonsense, and went directly to leave and make final preparations.
Wu Yanpet did have experience, he did not attack during the day, but stayed up until dark, and then sent more than two dozen small boats to disperse and dock.
The boat was still some distance away from the dock, and the Korean soldiers on the boat released ladders to set up the boat and the pier respectively, and then the well-trained Korean soldiers rushed to the pier with big shields and wooden curtains!
At first everything went well.
But when the feet of the Korean soldiers stood on the dock, a rain of arrows immediately shot out from behind a fortification.
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
……
Before these Goryeo soldiers could stand firmly, they were shot to death by the soldiers of Liangshan, and then planted in the sea!
It turned out that the Liangshan army fought well, you have a thousand clever plans, I have certain rules, I will use the horse army to defend the coast, and the infantry army to guard the dock, regardless of the side.
Seeing this, the command staff of the Goryeo army ordered to suppress the bows and arrows of the Yangsan army with bows and arrows.
Most of the Goryeo bows are horn bows, this kind of bow is famous, and the bow body is bent upwards at 190 degrees after the lower string, which gives it a strong elastic force, and in the world, only the Goryeo horn bow has such a curvature.
The horn bow is made from a combination of more than eight kinds of wood, such as bamboo, willow, and pine hagi (bush clover) wood, and the horns of buffalo are made, and the production process is very fine and complex, and it takes about three months.
And its bow is not even a meter long, very small.
Miraculously, it can shoot arrows over 600 meters.
Legend has it that the power of the horned bow can penetrate armor from up to 500 meters away.
Of course, this is just legend.
In fact, because the horn bow is a soft bow and the arrows are made of light bamboo and pheasant feathers, they can shoot really far and quickly.
However, the Goryeo bow also has a big disadvantage, that is, it is not powerful.
How small?
It is difficult to break through the armor as small as seventy or eighty steps away, even paper armor and leather armor.
That is, it is not lethal unless it is shot in a place where there is no armor.
Of course, this is not completely absolute, if you replace it with a heavy arrow, its power is also considerable, but in this way, it will not be able to shoot far.
In short, you can't have it both ways.
In addition, the Korean bow also has disadvantages such as cumbersome maintenance, stability, and poor handling.
But then again, although there are many shortcomings, in terms of suppression alone, there is really no better use than the Goryeo bow and arrow, especially when tens of thousands of people are suppressed at the same time.
This is something that Deng Fei, the commander-in-chief of the Liangshan Army at the dock, and Qiao Daoqing, the military advisor, did not expect before, not only them, but even Li Yan and the others did not expect it.
I have to say that this war was too hasty, so hasty that Li Yan and the others didn't even study the advantages and disadvantages of the Goryeo army, and then made such a big mistake.
This also made Li Yan force every army, every battalion, every capital, and even every Liangshan army to hold a summary meeting after every battle.
Far from it.
Because of the superiority of the bow and arrow.
The Goryeo army easily passed the most difficult hurdle - disembarked and established a bridgehead on the dock.
Seeing this, Zheng Zhichang said happily: "It's done!" ”
Wu Yanpet said: "It's still early. ”
Really!
It's the same as Wu Yanpet said.
Because a bridgehead was accidentally established by the Goryeo army, Deng Fei and Qiao Daoqing discussed and demolished several fortifications at the front at night, and withdrew the defense force to a place where the long-range weapons on the Goryeo ship could not suppress.
Next, the Goryeo army that landed on the dock desperately rushed to the land!
And Liang Shanjun, who originally wanted to hide it, didn't dare to make any more reservations, and took out the divine arm crossbow and bed crossbow.
The battlefield was drowned out by the sound of trebuchets and the shouts of soldiers on both sides, and the two sides tugged back and forth, repeatedly rushing to kill.
During the day, it was the defending Liangshan army that relied on the power of the armor, the divine arm crossbow and the bed crossbow.
At night, the Goryeo army, who regarded death as home, sacrificed their lives to kill.
The soldiers on both sides are all advancing without retreating, there is an enemy without me, and if they do not succeed, they will become benevolent.
The troops of both sides took turns to attack and defend for five days and nights.
The small dock became a flesh mill.
Let's not talk about how heavy the losses of the attacking side were, let's talk about the casualties of the Liangshan Bu army guarding the dock.
Steps to a certain amount each battalion have been replenished at least twice.
Seventy percent of the Ma Lin battalion, which suffered the greatest casualties, were recruits, and less than thirty percent were veterans.
Commander Ma Lin was killed in battle, commander Peng Xi was seriously injured, deputy commander Zhu Jing was slightly injured, and the commander was slightly injured.
