Chapter 597: Assault on all fronts

It's raining!

It had been several days since the Great Song Dynasty sent troops, and Goryeo still hadn't received the slightest news.

On the sea west of Kaegyeong, Goryeo, a small fishing boat is drifting at sea at this moment.

There was an old man on the small fishing boat, a man and a woman.

They were all dressed very shabby, and they were all drenched because of the rain.

"Daddy, we can't move on. It's raining now, and if it rains heavily, we won't be able to go back. After a while, I listened only to the young man.

At this moment, the old man rowed the boat and kept heading forward, and it seemed that they were the only small boat left on the lonely sea.

"There aren't many fish here, so we'll need to go further afield!" Hey, the court has taken away all our food, and if we can't catch fish, we won't have the money to treat your mother. The old man had gray hair, a wrinkled face, and a hat on his head, and he sighed at this moment.

As the family rowed forward, there seemed to be another layer of mist on the sea, and it was impossible to see what was ahead.

After walking for about half an hour, they stopped and began to fish in this place.

But after arriving here, the waves gradually increased, and their fishing boat was too small, and there was a tendency to be overturned by the waves, but the family did not leave.

"Hey, Daddy, look, what's over there?" After a while, the girl suddenly looked into the distance and said.

The old man let out a faint sigh, raised his head and looked into the distance, and then he froze there.

"Daddy, what's wrong?" The young man was closing the net, and when he saw his father stunned there, he couldn't help but understand.

"Look!" The old man pointed into the distance and said.

The young man looked into the distance, and then he stayed there!

In the far northwest, countless black dots are coming here! On the surface of the sea, the "black spots" that can be seen by the naked eye are actually very large!

"What is this?" The girl said with a frightened expression on her face.

"It's a whale! Oh my God, how many whales are there! Run! The old man shouted loudly.

It was raining so hard that they even threw away their nets, and the three of them rowed their boats desperately to the east.

However, the black dots behind are much faster than they are!

"Father, it's not a whale, it seems to be a big ship!" The young man glanced back again and said suddenly.

"Big ship?" The old man was stunned for a moment, and looked back again, he was already old, and his eyes were not as good as his son's, but he also vaguely recognized the shape of the ship in the distance.

"It's a big ship! Big ship indeed! What a lot of big ships! They're so fast! The girl stopped at this moment and said in surprise.

"Why are there so many big ships?" The old man muttered.

The speed of their fishing boat was far less than that of the big boat in the distance, and at this moment they simply stopped on the sea and waited for the big boat to arrive.

After about a quarter of an hour, they were able to make out the silhouette of the ship, and even the people standing on it.

"It's a soldier! What a lot of soldiers! The old man's face turned pale this time and said.

The three of them exclaimed together, and rowed again into the distance, but it didn't take long for the big boat to catch up with them.

Countless large ships passed by them, and all of them were lined with soldiers in black armor! Although they are on the ship, these soldiers still maintain a military posture and are in a neat line! They all had crossbows in their hands, and at first they had crossbows pointed at them, but when it became clear that they were just ordinary fishermen, they put them away!

Occasionally, voices could be heard from the big ship, but neither the old nor the young or the young could understand what those people were saying.

I don't know how long it took, but all the warships passed by them, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"How can there be so many troops? What is the army there in the end? The youth said.

"Listening to their accents, it seems to be Han Chinese!" The old man said.

"What? Han? "The youth are unbelievable.

"Yes, it's Han! I've dealt with Han Chinese people and they speak Chinese! How many ships passed us just now? Three hundred? Five hundred? Or is it more? How many soldiers are on it? Thirty thousand? Fifty thousand? Why did they suddenly come to the beach? Where are they going? The old man muttered.

"The Han people shouldn't be attacking our Goryeo, right?" Youth Road.

"Probably yes......" The old man's face was as pale as paper, and he felt his body tremble.

"They went straight to Kaijing! Kaijing didn't have many garrisons at all, so I was afraid that it would be taken down by them immediately! Daddy, we're going to hurry up and inform Kaijing! The youth said.

"How do we inform? They're much faster than we are! We should be hiding now! Soon the world will be in chaos! The old man said in horror.

This family is still talking here, and the fleet of the Great Song Navy is still moving forward.

On the morning of the same day, the Great Song Navy came to Ganghwa Island!

******

Ganghwa Island, located more than 70 miles west of Kaegyung, occupies the estuary of the Han River, and its geographical location is extremely important!

Historically, when the Mongols invaded Goryeo, the Goryeo royal family fled to Ganghwa Island and made Ganghwa Island their companion capital.

In the nineteenth century, the Japanese Japanese changed their law to become stronger, believing that "if you want to conquer China, you must first conquer Manchu and Mongolia." If you want to conquer Manchuria, you must first conquer Korea", in 1876, the Japanese army broke through Ganghwa Island and forced the Korean government to sign the Ganghwa Island Treaty, and since then Korea is no longer a vassal state of China, but has become a semi-colony of Japan!

It can be said that in order to conquer Goryeo, it is first necessary to conquer Ganghwa Island.

Only after conquering Ganghwa Island can the army enter the whole of Goryeo from the Han River!

The position here was extremely important, and Goryeo had only 10,000 sailors, of which 5,000 were stationed on Ganghwa Island.

However, because of the rain, these 5,000 sailors are resting today.

On the waterfront pier on the west side of Ganghwa Island, several middle-aged people dressed as Confucian scholars are fishing there with umbrellas.

In Goryeo, as in the former Great Song Dynasty, it was normal for literati to serve as army leaders, and these Confucian scholars were actually generals in the Goryeo naval division.

They are powerless one by one, but they can command thousands of troops.

"Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, thousands of people disappear, lonely boats, fishing alone in the cold river and snow. The artistic conception of Han poetry is brilliant, not that I can compare with Goryeo. A Confucian scholar with three long beards said aloud while fishing at the moment.

"The Han people occupy the prosperous land of the Central Plains, where there are abundant products and beautiful scenery, and the poems they create are naturally better than ours! But now that the imperial court intends to buy Liaodong, at that time, our territory will also become incomparably vast, and it is possible that we will surpass the Han people culturally in the future! "There is another Confucian Tao.

The two of them were talking here, when they suddenly saw many black spots appear on the sea in the distance, and then the two stood up and looked curiously in the distance.

The black dots were getting closer and closer, and before they could make out what it was, suddenly countless figures burst out from under the water, and these figures rushed towards them, and suddenly a scream rang out, and they fell in a pool of blood.

A quarter of an hour later, the Song army swarmed in, and the dock on the west side of Ganghwa Island fell into chaos.

Jianghua Island is extremely large, with a radius of more than 40 miles, and in addition to here, there are also Song troops attacking at the same time in other directions.

To the east of Ganghwa Island, hundreds of warships have also arrived, and they have firmly guarded the river here, not allowing any ships to leave the confines of Ganghwa Island.

The general of Ganghwa Island is called Wang Jian, and this person is a son of the Goryeo royal family.

The sound of rain outside kept coming to his ears, and he was lying on the bed, a stunning beauty lying in his arms.

He was playing with the woman, and just then there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Wang Jian's face showed a hint of displeasure.

However, the knock on the door became louder and louder, and Wang Jian suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he hurriedly got off the bed.

At this moment, a loud noise came, the door was slammed open, and more than a dozen soldiers entered.

"Who are you?" Seeing that these people were all dressed as Song Jun, Wang Jian was shocked.

None of the soldiers answered him, and several of them pounced and plunged their knives into his heart!

As for the woman, she hid in bed, and the Song soldiers glanced at her indifferently, and then left the place.

It wasn't until the Song soldiers left that the woman let out a frightened scream.

Ganghwa Island has been shrouded in war at this moment, and the Song army has already investigated the location of the military camp of the Goryeo Naval Division, and when they rushed in, the Goryeo Naval Division was not prepared!

In less than an hour, the battle ended, and the Song soldiers boarded the ship again, and they headed along the Han River in the direction of Kaijing!

Wu Jue stood at the bow of the boat, letting the storm hit him, and he had a cold smile on his face.

"Ganghwa Island has been conquered by us, and the next step is to open Beijing! Now Wang Gui and Wu Lan should have also attacked Haizhou, Renzhou and other places, right? Wu Jue said secretly.

******

In the direction of Haizhou, Wang Gui and Wu Gong led 30,000 navies to set off from the lion's mouth, and they have also come here at this moment!

When they came to Haeju City, the Goryeo defenders here were on guard!

However, the number of Goryeo defenders was very small, only 10,000!

The vast majority of the Goryeo army has already gone to the direction of Liaodong and the Great Wall, and the country of Goryeo is unusually empty!

Wang Gui personally led 20,000 men to attack the city from the west, and almost all the Goryeo defenders were attracted to the west, while Wu Gong suddenly rushed out from the east, and the city of Haizhou was broken in less than half an hour!

After breaking through Haizhou, Wang Gui and Wu Gong immediately led their troops to brave the rain and head towards Jinchuan!

If they take Jincheon, they will block the way for the Goryeo to flee north.

In the coastal location of Inju, in the small town where Jin Can was, Jin Can came to the outside of the town again on this day, with a worried look on his face.

"Teacher, are you still worried about the situation in Liaodong?" The middle-aged Confucian came behind Jin Can with an umbrella and said.

"I can't help but worry! The more I think about it, the more I feel that the situation is not right! We have a lot of Song merchants in Renzhou, I sent people to ask these Song merchants, everyone said that the current emperor of the Song people is extraordinary, and the martial arts of Wenzhi even surpass the Taizu and Taizong emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, such a person will never give up Liaodong! Jin Chan said.

"Teacher, don't think so much! If you are really worried, you can wait until An Pulin and Li Rui come back, and wait until Yanjing has a situation, and then we will make a decision. Middle-aged Confucian said.

"That's all there is to it." Jin Chan nodded.

As they were talking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the distance, and then they saw countless soldiers in black armor running towards here from the west, Jin Can stayed there at once, and the middle-aged Confucian was also stunned.
