Chapter 327: The Three Major Crimes of the Jiaozhi Chen Dynasty
The preparation of the Great Song Dynasty was completely different from the past.
There are factors in this, as well as factors of its own development.
The new weapons from Liuqiu Island were already familiar to the Great Song Dynasty, and the naval landing battle in Shandong also gave the Great Song some inspiration.
Back then, the entire Great Song Dynasty did not expect that Liuqiu Island would attack in the Shandong region first, and it would be able to win a battle!
This kind of unexpected action made the Great Song government like it------ so the Great Song Dynasty's decision to attack the Jiaozhi Kingdom also scared Liuqiu Island, and it didn't let others think of it at all.
Although there were still merchants in the Jiaozhi Kingdom who did business in Lin'an City, Guangzhou City, or the Badaohe area, the military preparations and actions could not be thought of by the Jiaozhi State at all.
The cable telegraph also helped the Great Song Dynasty to mobilize and organize the army.
The Guangzhou, Fuzhou, and Mingzhou regions dispatched troops one after another in accordance with the prior plan, and then gathered the whole team near the Qiongzhou Strait.
With the help of Liuqiu Island, the North Road personnel quickly completed the landing mission at the coal terminal in Ha Long Bay, and they advanced all the way to Thang Long City in the southwest, their artillery and rockets were simply unstoppable, and there were not many obstacles along the way!
The southern route they took was a common route for maritime trade------ and the Great Song Dynasty navy was also extremely familiar with this route.
Their southern route is the focus of the attack, and taking Thang Long City will basically end this battle.
The rest of the stability maintenance work ------ wait for the Great Song Dynasty to completely defeat the opponent's forces, and then send people from the east and west roads of Guangnan to enter the Jiaozhi country from the north by land, and they have manpower!
The commander of the firearms battalion of the Imperial Front Army of the Great Song Dynasty was the chief general of the South Road, and of course he brought part of the firearms battalion troops, and he brought all the Imperial Naval Army.
Thang Long Castle was the capital of the Cochin Tran Dynasty, it is located on the Thang Long River, the city wall is tall, and the radius is more than 20 li.
The Thang Long River is a wide river with direct access to the South China Sea, deep enough for 5,000 stone ships, and lined with wharves on the shore------ which was originally one of the important hubs for maritime commerce.
With the help of the northeast monsoon, the Fa Ke commander led the warship directly into the Thang Long River.
Because they were swimming against the current, they had to go zigzag and slow down------ which gave the Cochin Navy some opportunities, and they hurriedly sent dozens of large and small warships down the river to meet the battle.
But compared with the two fleets, like a 1.8-meter-8 man and a 1.2-meter-2 child, there is no warship in the Cochin Navy that can compare with the warship commanded by Fa Ke.
Commander Fako thought of the enemy's countermeasures, and he ordered the bed crossbow on the warship to be thrown first------ and the child's arm-thick crossbow bolt was tied to the black powder pack!
He didn't ask for accuracy, only speed, and the abundant military resources of the Great Song Dynasty had an effect.
The smoky crossbow arrows rushed towards each other like a rain of arrows------ of course the Jiaozhi Naval Army had seen the bed crossbow, but they had never seen such a dense formation.
Due to the distance, most of the crossbow arrows fell into the river, and only a small number of crossbow arrows were hit, but this was not something that the Cochin Naval Army could withstand.
Of the small number of crossbow arrows, only a dozen exploded------ but the effect was amazing, and it was directly the ship's destruction and death!
Due to the flow of water, the two sides are a little closer, and the rain of crossbow arrows is not only more dense, but also more accurate!
The fighting style of the commander of Fa Ke is very clear, he doesn't want to be entangled with the other party, if it is a broadside battle, although he has artillery and arquebuses, but there will inevitably be some accidents!
There are crossbow arrows, and there are also pulleys on the crossbow bed to help with winding, so shoot it!
In less than ten minutes, dozens of warships caught fire, some were completely shattered, and only one or two sampans fled to the shore, and the soldiers on them jumped ashore and ran------ they did not want to die in vain.
Commander Fa Ke was standing on the ship at that time, and he let the signal soldiers wave the three-color signal flag and give an order, the ten to nineteenth warships went to Jiaozhi Naval Army Dazhai, and the warships there must be completely annihilated!
The rest of the soldiers are sent to the Dragon City!
At this time, it was true that no one in the warship was running fast, and someone had already reported Thang Long City.
Thang Long City suddenly became a mess, some people from outside the city ran to the city, some people from the city ran outside the city, and some people took the opportunity to rob the shops run by the Great Song people inside and outside the city, among which the people from Liuqiu Island and the Japanese were also damaged.
The three gates of Thang Long City are tightly closed.
The walls of Thang Long City were filled with urgently summoned guards.
The walls were far taller and stronger than when the Tartar robbers breached the place------ and they had been used here for a long time.
The momentum of the Great Song warship was too great, and no one dared to go out of the city to fight.
At that time, the emperor of the Chen Dynasty of Jiaozhi State was already succeeded by the crown prince Chen Huang, and he was still relatively calm after the war.
He first issued the first order, which was to send personnel to send an order to the entire Jiaozhi country to organize and fight.
The second order was to hold on to Longsheng City, and he sent someone to personally question why the Great Song Dynasty came to attack my Jiaozhi Kingdom for no reason.
Da Song's intelligence work in advance was also good, and when they arrived at Longsheng City, they found that the docks there were full of sea ships.
The sailors steered the warships, leaned diagonally on the sails of the ships that had already set sail, and began to jump off the board of the ship.
Commander Faco looked at the dock with a telescope, and he didn't see any soldiers except for civilians such as sailors running back and forth.
The opponent gave up the defense of the dock------ the arquebus salvo he prepared was useless!
The sailors quickly boarded the dock and formed a training formation, dispersing the other civilians.
Commander Faco was draped in red battle and landed ashore with the unloaded weapons and equipment.
There was once a lieutenant general who wanted to ask him to stay on the warship------ everyone knew that he was a popular man around the Great Song Dynasty officials, and sent him to lead the team, presumably to replace the Great Song Dynasty officials.
He laughed and refused.
Most of his subordinates were trained by him himself, and he is still full of self-confidence!
In less than two hours, all of his 5,000 troops had landed------ and some sailors were armed.
It's a pity that he doesn't know the situation on the North Road------ he has heard that there is a telegraph that can be wirelessly on Liuqiu Island, and he can know the situation from thousands of miles away!
He tried to ask Zhang Island Master, but was rarely refused.
Spark radio station, that is actually a full-channel jammer------ relying on the fact that it is now the quietest time and space of radio, Liuqiu Island can use it yourself, if it is given to the Great Song Dynasty, then everyone interferes with each other, no one wants to hear clearly!
He didn't have confidence that Da Song would follow the window of silence, so it was okay not to give them for the time being.
Cable telegraph technology is enough for the Song Dynasty to last for decades.
The military operations on Liuqiu Island regarding the Great Song Dynasty were all slowly figured out later, and they didn't care too much about some of the details.
Commander Fa Ke led his army of five thousand and pounced on Longsheng City with neat steps.
During this period, the commander of Fa Ke also talked to the envoy of the other party, and he convicted the Chen Dynasty of Jiaozhi State of three major crimes: the first was the massacre of the three states that year; the second is to secretly communicate with the Tatar robbers and return the enemy; The third is the heart of disobedience.
The envoy argued that the Jiaozhi Chen Dynasty had to pay annual tribute to the Tatar bandits, and they were also afraid of the Tatar bandits------ so didn't the Great Song also pay tribute to the Tatar bandits???
Where does the Fa Ke Commander have time to argue with his opponents, he asks people to drive away the envoys directly, and the siege is about to begin!
