Chapter 475: Pre-Battle Psychological Warfare
"You Song people can't fight, but you rely on advanced weapons! I am invincible and the Goryeo army will be killed immediately, and those who know each other are not quick to surrender, so as not to ......regret it."
After Zhu Wu heard Hu Cheng's translation, he was all happy, and looked at Hu Chengdao with some tears and laughter: "Brother Hu, what is going on with this Korean, why do you still have a big tone when you lose?" That's too arrogant! ”
Hu Cheng also cried and laughed a little and said: "This Goryeo, the people of Sanhan have always been like this, they were first a vassal state of the Song Dynasty, and then a vassal state of the Liao, but at the same time they looked down on the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty.
In their opinion, the Song Dynasty was suppressed and bullied by the Liao State for more than 100 years, and was repeatedly defeated in the Liao War, because they despised the military weakness of the Song Dynasty from the perspective of the Liao State; However, on the other hand, these Koreans admired the Confucian culture of the Song Dynasty very much, the country of etiquette and music, and have always called themselves Little China and are proud of it.
The Khitan of the Liao State retained too many nomadic customs, and from a cultural point of view, they despised the Liao State and the Jurchens very much, thinking that they were all barbarians, and they had a lot of superiority in front of the Khitan Liao people.
Therefore, although Goryeo has been subordinate to the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, Later Zhou, Northern Song Dynasty, and Khitan, it has always looked down on the Song and Liao people at the same time. In the hearts of the Goryeo people, the concept that the Song people are not good at war has long been ingrained, and it is not surprising that this guy said such things. ”
"And such a thing? This Goryeo has been a son to Song Liao, but he can't look down on the two Lao Tzus, which is really shameless! ”
Zhu Wu suddenly understood, and couldn't help stroking his palms and laughing: "No wonder the military lord said that the hearts of the Goryeo people are actually extremely inferior, but they have evolved into extreme self-esteem and pride, which is really arrogant and ridiculous!" ”
Hu Cheng sneered: "The Goryeo people are still so shameless, I want to admit from Wang Jian himself that they are descendants of Sanhan, Goryeo inherited from Silla, and Silla inherited from Sanhan; But soon after, they began to regard themselves as the successors of Goguryeo, and coveted the land of Liaodong north of the Yalu River.
The people of Samhan are so shameless, they have to take all the benefits, occupy the southern part of the peninsula, and the existing land of Goryeo is 'thanks to the mountains and rivers of Samhan', and the coveting of Goguryeo's homeland is 'our country is the old country of Goguryeo, so it is called Goryeo'.
In front of the Liao State, he used the etiquette and music learned in the Song Dynasty to educate and despise the Khitan as a barbarian; In front of the Song Dynasty, he took advantage of the military superiority of the Liao State to regard himself as a Liao person, and despised the Song people for their weak force and lack of blood......"
Zhu Wu nodded and said with a smile: "That's fine, then we will completely convince them at one time, so that they know that I not only have etiquette and music education, the way of Confucius and Mencius, but also the Tiger Ben Feather Forest, an invincible and mighty army!"
Brother Hu, you tell him, tell him to go back and deliver the letter, just say that we are waiting for them here, and there are only 6,000 infantry troops and 500 cavalry troops around us. Let's see if my Han soldiers are good at fighting? ”
After stabilizing his mind, the Goryeo cavalry was quickly let back, and soon after, he saw the message of Zhu Wu brought by the deputy envoy of the Privy Council of the Commander of Goryeo in the rescue of Licheng Port, Li Zide, and Li Zide and others.
Well, this time we in Goryeo suffered a big loss, a thousand cavalry vanguard was almost lost, and your Song casualties were only a dozen or twenty people, we are indeed ashamed of the defeat!
Okay, you Song people once again let us learn what it means to be a strong armor soldier, with advanced weapons, it is not so easy to defeat.
Then let's be cautious, I don't believe it, if the Song people are really brave and good at fighting, how can they be bullied by the Khitan people on their necks for more than a hundred years?
And we, Goryeo, have defeated hundreds of thousands of troops of the Liao State three times!
I don't believe it, the Song people of 6,500 people can block the 34,000 regular troops of my 34 Goryeo Commanders (35 Commanders were dispatched, and one of them has just been wiped out), plus 12,000 Wang troops who can rush to support at any time.
In view of the inferiority of the cavalry of the Song army, Li Zide sent 3,000 cavalry to open the way first, and repeatedly instructed the leading generals not to underestimate the enemy and be careful of ambushes; At the same time, he ordered them to send a large number of scouts around to find out if there were any ambushes.
As a result, there were naturally no ambushes, and the Goryeo cavalry also ate a trench and grew wise, and there was no plan to lure the enemy by the cavalry of Yangsan.
So soon after, Li Zide led more than 30,000 troops to the front of the Liangshan army formation, and the two sides used strong bows and crossbows to shoot each other's feet, each making the final deployment before the war.
However, before the battle, in the face of the invitation of the fierce generals in the army, Li Zide still decided to salute first and then the soldiers, so he sent people to shout in Song Dynasty dialect in front of the battle: "The Song State has always boasted of being a state of etiquette and a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. ”
On the side of the Liangshan army, Zhu Wu, who was watching the Goryeo army formation from the temporary watchtower, was a little happy when he heard it, and immediately ordered the downstairs: "Spread the word!" Goryeo betrayed the lord and surrendered to the Khitan, proclaimed himself emperor, rebelled, brutalized the people, our army was ordered to crusade against the rebellion, hang the people and fight crimes, what is the unrighteous army?
This place is the homeland of my Han and Tang dynasties in China, the land of Jizi to go to the country, the North Korea of Weiman, the four counties of the Han Dynasty, the Tang Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, the Xiongjin Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, what is your boundary? Now that my king and heavenly soldiers are here, it is to recover the homeland, and if Dongyi does not surrender quickly, he can avoid death, otherwise it will be too late to regret it! ”
Immediately before the battle, a Liangshan secret agent who knew Goryeo raised his throat to repeat Zhu Wu's words, and the Song people's response was actually expected by Li Zide and others.
The truth was said before the start of the fight, and now that the enemy has come to the doorstep, the ancestral residence of the Goryeo Emperor has been surrounded, and not long ago, he almost wiped out the elite of a thousand cavalry on his side, what is the use of shouting at this time?
However, for Li Zide, it is not unreasonable to insist on sending someone to shout before the start of the fight.
He once again ordered people to spread the word, saying that what Jizi went to the country's land, Weiman's Korea, the four counties of the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty's Andong Governor's Mansion, and the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion were all in the past tense, and the Tang Dynasty agreed to occupy the land here;
And Goryeo turned his back on the Song Dynasty and took the Liao State as the suzerainty because the Song Dynasty was unable to protect Goryeo Yunyun: "...... Don't you Song people boast that you can fight well, but dare to send an army to hedge against our army, and win the battle with dignity? ”
Speaking of which, Li Zide can achieve such a high position, arguing with his brother Li Ziqian and holding half of Goryeo, how can he be the kind of person who has courage and no strategy?
The reason why he sent people to shout in front of the formation was to lure the Song army to take the initiative to attack, so that they could be annihilated at a smaller cost; And if the Song army does not dare to take the initiative to attack, it can seriously damage the morale of the Song army and boost its own side.
Because most of the 6,500 Song troops were mainly infantry troops, while the Goryeo army had more than 10,000 cavalry troops, which could be coordinated on foot, but the terrain of the Song army was too good, with continuous mountains and hills and dense forests on both sides, which could ensure that the left and right flanks were not attacked, and could limit the mobility advantage of the cavalry on their side to the greatest extent.
And at the bottom of the funnel, the terrain there is destined to be unable to deploy a large number of troops, and their side can only send troops to attack in turn with refueling tactics, and even if they win, they will have to pay many costs.
