Chapter 467: Sharp Qi, Invincible Fierce General
After a long period of preparation, a convoy of more than 80 sea vessels of the Liangshan Army finally set off from Shuibo Beicheng and sailed towards the direction of the Bohai Sea.
Before that, the 20,000 Liangshan infantry army rushed to the mouth of the Beiqing River in Qingzhou in a four-wheeled carriage early, where more than 60 large sea ships had been waiting for a long time.
After the two fleets converged, a total of 152 large and small warships, totaling more than 36,000 combat troops, would cut through the waves and sail straight to the sea to reach Yeseong, the largest port in Goryeo.
Licheng Port is only 30 miles away from the capital of Goryeo, and if you take Licheng Port, you can directly descend from the sky and directly descend to Kaijing.
As long as the main force of the defenders can be quickly eliminated and surrounded under the city of Kaeongseong, the operation of attacking Goryeo this time will be half the success.
At this moment, as the supreme commander of this army to conquer the east, Du Yan, who was standing on the deck and looking out from afar, was undoubtedly excited, even agitated.
For more than a year, when he was determined to oppose the Song Dynasty and took the title of a robber to pull up two or three hundred men on Chimei Mountain, how could he have thought that more than a year later, he would be able to lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to launch a war of annihilation against a country that has been established for 200 years and has a population of 2 million?
All this is incredible enough just to think about it, but now it is really happening in front of him, how can Du Yan not be in a state of unspeakable emotion?
In fact, Du Yan is okay, after all, as the commander of the three armies, he is responsible for the life and death of tens of thousands of people and even the future of the Liangshan Army, and everything must be calm.
Therefore, even though Du Yan's heart is unspeakably turbulent, he still maintains enough calm on the surface; However, most of the sergeants who were fortunate enough to participate in this military operation did not have so many scruples, and everyone screamed excitedly.
"The Great Song Dynasty has been established for more than 100 years, and it has never been able to cede land and pay compensation, and the Western Xia has lost it for more than 100 years and can't get it back.
"Isn't it? I listened to Instructor Yun say, Zhao Song is called castration of blood, self-destruction of martial arts, it is strange that he can win! But there is no way, who called Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi to win the country is not right! ”
"It's only been a year since our Liangshan Army was formed, and it has grown to more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and at the same time launched a war of annihilation against Goryeo and the Western Thieves, who has this ability and courage?"
"Didn't the Jurchen barbarians also rebel, and in just one year, they won the great victory of 20,000 and 700,000 in the Battle of Dagang?"
"Silly melon, have you forgotten what Ah Shu said? The Jurchen barbarians have been accumulating strength before they rebelled, counting from that Wanyan Aguda grandfather, it took a total of three generations of five leaders (Wanyan Wugunai, Impeachment Libo, Po Rashu, Yingge, Wuyashu, and Aguta) to Wanyan Aguta, and they have been plotting to rebel for decades! It has been less than a year and a half since the Liangshan Army decided to rebel from the time Lord Lin decided to rebel. ”
"Bullshit Jurchen barbarians, it's not that Yaozhou City was defeated by us with one enemy and ten, and more than 400 Jurchen heads were cut off in front of us, and the four princes of their bullshit who captured them alive can return to Wanyan Wushu and the fierce general Wanyan Yinshu, these Jurchen barbarians can only watch!"
"That is, the only one who is truly invincible in this world is our Liangshan Army!"
The army is a monster that is constantly fed with victory, and the impact of a miraculous victory on an army is undoubtedly huge and far-reaching.
The armies of the founding period of each dynasty are always particularly capable of fighting, because these armies are not only enterprising and high-spirited; It has become more morale-like and unstoppable because of the continuous victories.
For example, the Ming army during the Zhu Yuanzhang period was almost invincible, and the invincible Mongolian army lost its armor and relied on this sharpness.
Similarly, in the original historical time and space, inspired by the great victory of Chuhedian and the great victory of Hubu Dagang, the Jurchens also relied on a strong military self-confidence and unstoppable spirit, and pushed all the way to destroy the Liao State and the Northern Song Dynasty one after another.
Many battles seemed almost inconceivable to later generations, but they became commonplace in this original Jurchen army, which was known as "invincible".
For example, the Jurchen Meng will collide with more than 10,000 infantry cavalry of the Liao army with 30 cavalry, not only will they break through the frontal siege and kill many enemies, but the Jurchens will only suffer five casualties!
Another example is Wanyan Alu, who made up more than ten cavalry and broke the Liao army by 700; Later, he broke through more than 10,000 Liao troops with 300 cavalry and beheaded 1,000 ranks; Then break 30,000 Liao soldiers with 1,000 people and behead their generals!
Another example is that Wanyan Zongwang only led 1,000 people to chase 25,000 people to Emperor Liao Tianzuo, and the soldiers were tired, and the leading party Yelu Yujian said that he could not fight, but Wanyan Zongwang insisted on launching an attack, but was surrounded by dozens of times the Liao army for several layers, and in this case, he even let the Jurchens win.
And the Jurchen god of war Wanyan Lou Room has repeatedly created miracles in the history of war, especially the siege of Taiyuan to send reinforcements, and the Mopan War to eliminate hundreds of thousands of reinforcements in the Great Song Dynasty; After that, the total number was less than 10,000 Zhulu Jin army (the main force was still a puppet army) swept through the land of Guanshan and was invincible.
All of these can be called miracles in the history of warfare, but at that time, the Jin Army, which was also open, did it. With this unstoppable sharpness, as well as strong confidence in his own force.
It's just that in this time and space, the myth of the invincibility of the Jurchen iron cavalry has long been ended by Lin Chong under Yaozhou City.
And the Liangshan Army at this time, just like the Ming Army in Zhu Yuanzhang's era, the Jin Army, unconsciously had this strong self-confidence and sharp spirit that defied all opponents.
Moreover, he was well prepared, and the Liangshan Army had already formulated a number of detailed battle plans for this campaign, and Du Xue and Zhu Wu, who were responsible for commanding this battle to destroy the country, were also full of confidence.
When the soldiers below saw the coach like this, they naturally became more and more confident and high-spirited.
It's just that most people don't see it that way, such as Xiao Jiasui, who just came to serve Liang Shanjun.
When he took his junior brother and heard the news of the Liangshan army's conquest of Goryeo on the road, he was immediately anxious, and immediately said that he wanted to see Lin Chong, and then immediately admonished him.
"Master Lin, although he is not talented, he has also read a few military books and knows a little bit of strategy. From the point of view below, this conquest of the Liangshan Army is really too risky, too Meng Lang! ”
It is said that this Xiao Jiasui is in his thirties, and he is a truly manly husband in the Water Margin story, and he is also a master of the world in the hermitage.
In the original Water Margin story, Xiao Jiasui occasionally traveled to Jingnan, lived in the wall of the paper shop on Shuaifu South Street, and encountered Wang Qing's rebellion and invaded the city.
He couldn't get used to Wang Qing dividing and causing chaos and harming the people, so Xiao Jiasui posted everywhere in the city to gather people's hearts; With the prestige of the city in the past, he instantly called on five or six hundred people to follow, and in the blink of an eye, another five or six thousand people fell, and under his leadership, he rushed into the Shuai Mansion and killed Wang Qinghu to seize the city.
After that, Song Jiang wanted to protect his merits, but Xiao Jiasui saw through the corrupt and dark rule of Zhao and Song, and said, "Xiao's actions today are not for fame and wealth", and at the same time persuaded Song Jiang and others to be dark in the court, "Fang Jin's slander is high, and the wise man is nameless", "The life of the family is in the hands of the traitor", it is better to retire as soon as possible, but it is like an idle cloud and a wild crane, where is not the world at ease?
As a result, Song Jiang was stubborn and determined to be a dog for Zhao Ji, and finally ended up being poisoned; At the same time, more than ten people including Gongsun Sheng, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Yan Qing, Li Jun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Dai Zong, Chai Jin, Fan Rui, Zhu Wu, Jiang Jing and others listened to this, and finally got a good death.
Thinking that Xiao Jiasui is such a worldly master, the folk hermit is not even willing to be an official of the imperial court, but this time he came all the way to vote for himself; Not only that, but he also brought himself an invincible general by the way, and Lin Chong couldn't help but be overjoyed.
