Chapter 383: The Bloody Battle of the Yalu River (Part I)

Hanchen Xu Heng made a long strategy to the big boss Kublai Khan, that is, to ally with the Song for the second time!

In fact, it can be explained in one sentence, that is, to cede the Dali Kingdom to the Great Song Dynasty, in exchange for them to provide supplies and make them refuse to communicate with Liuqiu Island!

After seeing this, Kublai Khan, the big leader, laughed, thinking that these Hanchens were not strong enough.

He summoned Hanchen Xu Heng and said, "How about letting Song Gou go to the island?" I can give them Bianjing Road! ”

Yes! Hanchen Xu Heng was stunned------- this hurts the country's body!"

The big leader Kublai Khan looked at his loyal ministers with a smile and said: "If you don't give a bigger bait, the hounds won't work for you------ and there are no pirates, how can this world ------?"

The meaning of this is very clear, after quelling the pirate rebellion, is there still an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty------ is there still an alliance?!

Hanchen Xu Heng personally acted as a condolence envoy and brought some gifts, the most special of which was eight white horses of the same color, and quietly came to Lin'an City.

This time he was extremely low-key in his condolence action, and no one knew what he talked about with Jia Pingzhang.

The Great Song Dynasty government has been in the period of national mourning, and there is no special move, so it has not attracted the attention of the owner of Zhang Island at all.

Zhang has been committed to the construction of Liuqiu Island and Shandong, and he hopes to make his basic plate bigger and stronger as soon as possible.

The rebellion of the Goryeo kingdom, that was expected.

He only paid attention out of the corner of his eye.

However, the big boss Kublai Khan showed exceptional anger.

This nine-time rebel Goryeo kingdom is falling into the ground!

Dare to deceive me, Dayuan has no one------- and his clan will be destroyed for the tenth time!

Kublai Khan, the big leader, immediately sent one-third of his Red Horse Expedition Army, not only transferred soldiers from Dadu, but also ordered another group to be recruited in the Shenzhou area, forming an army of more than 50,000 people equipped with arquebuses, cannons, and rockets.

Kublai Khan, the big leader, ordered them to act independently in Goryeo, and all the harvest only needed to be handed over to 30%.

It's a hint that you can kill and rob as you please!

The king of Goryeo is not stupid, after he announced the rebellion, he not only sent many small works, but also immediately laid out a defense on the first line of the Yalu River------ he actually wanted to learn the method of Liuqiu Guard, he thought in his heart, his men and horses at least have a Yalu River nearly a thousand meters wide to use, and the defense ability should be stronger.

The Yalu River originates in the mountainous area of central Goryeo, which borders Daeyuan, and the mountainous area there is not the hilly area of Shandong, but it is really difficult for apes to pass through.

At this time, the level of the Yalu River is gentle, and the middle is basically a shallow sand area, but the water on both sides near the shore is as deep as eight meters.

The king of Goryeo sent people urging them to send warships as soon as possible, but they first sent a small boat emitting black smoke to measure it in the river, and after a month of busyness, they left, and have not been heard from since.

When the king of Goryeo learned that the Tatar bandits had gathered troops in the Shenzhou area, his heart sank and his fear of the Tatar bandits was really deep in their bones.

Some ministers suggested that the king of Goryeo take refuge in Ganghwa Island, which was a natural refuge for the Goryeo Dynasty, and could also be called Gangdu.

But this time, the young king of Goryeo refused, that Kublai Khan's order was to destroy his country, he fled for his life, but there was no country, what was the use?!

He didn't believe it, the small Liuqiu Island, with a population of only one million, could beat them, how could he, a three-thousand-mile country, not be their opponent?!

So, he decided to go to the battlefield in person and personally go to the Yalu River to direct the defense.

The big boss Kublai Khan sent his own right-hand man, Haidariya as the commander-in-chief, and Abulhuali as the deputy commander-in-chief.

These two generals have a lot of experience in how to use firearms and cavalry cooperation, and they must have won this battle easily!

The order of the big boss Kublai Khan won the hearts of the army, all the soldiers were dissatisfied with a strong will to fight, as long as they won the Goryeo, they only needed to hand over thirty percent of the harvest------- many noble children also actively participated, as long as they won, the war exploits, the harvest were all obtained!

They marched quickly, and soon reached the Yalu River, across the river, and they could see the banner of the Goryeo people opposite.

This is not what they expected, in the first nine rebellions, they were also defending by the Yalu River, but which time was not defeated?!

Commander Haidariya asked the craftsmen of the army to cut down trees and make rafts by the river------ because the Yalu River was gentle, they could find a place upstream to lay down, and they could reach the other side of the river.

At this time, the Yalu River area was far from being developed, and both banks were lush and primeval forests.

Commander Haidariya could see the traces of the previous river crossings on his horse, and even some broken rafts that had been dragged to the shore.

Hmph, the tenth time will destroy the Goryeo Kingdom!

The young king of Goryeo, accompanied by his guards, stood on a high ground and held a telescope to watch, his hands trembling a little.

He saw that the Tatar army was indeed strong and strong, and all of them seemed to be extremely warlike!

They have steel knives and spears, arquebuses and rockets------ and they're in formation!

He immediately shouted: "Hurry up and tell General Kim to fire rockets quickly!" ”

The real commander of the entire defensive position is General Kim Jong-sik, who belongs to the military representatives of the main battle faction.

He was also observing the enemy formation, and he also saw that the other party was arranging the formation, but he was not in a hurry to attack, he thought that when the enemy was halfway crossed, that would be a good opportunity.

General Kim Jong-sik has trained several times since he sent firearms to Liuqiu Island, and all of them have been live-fire exercises, so he thinks that revealing his weapons too early will not have the best effect.

It was a good thing that the young king of Goryeo was able to go to the battlefield in person, and it had greatly boosted the morale of the Goryeo soldiers, and besides, the soldiers knew the orders of the big boss Kublai Khan and understood that this was a battle of life and death!

But it would not be good if this king was in command.

General Kim Jong-sik had to personally go to the big tent of the king of Goryeo to explain the reason why it could not be launched earlier.

Fortunately, the king was reasonable, and finally gave up his request.

In the end, as General Kim Jong-sik estimated, after they set up the formation, they did not launch at their side casually------ rockets were expensive for both of them, and the number was not much.

There is no place in the world that can be mass-produced like Liuqiu Island.

At this time, the Tatar army began to cross the river, and a large number of rafts were released from the upper reaches of the Yalu River, on which stood soldiers with arquebuses and bows and arrows, and some with teeth and claws, and constantly waving steel knives.

General Kim Jong-sik ordered at this time: "Waste! ”8)
