Chapter 332: Blood Debt and New Combat Modes
The west wind is howling, and the sea is choppy.
The vast sea, as far as the eye can see, is full of turbulent deep blue water.
The fleet rode the wind and waves and headed all the way to the east. The undulating waves, lapping against the side of the ship, splashed white waves.
Flocks of seagulls in the sky, along with the fleet. Flailing her wings lightly around the sail, circling around. Occasionally, a few seagulls will land, peck at their feathers, and then fly high again.
The swollen sails, whirring. The tremendous force of the west wind propelled this huge fleet towards the east at an extremely fast speed.
On the deck, the soldiers of the sailor division constantly adjusted their course according to the instructions of the first mate on the watchtower.
As the flagbearer waved the flag from the high platform, the orders from the flagship were accurately communicated to every ship in the fleet.
The helmsman jerked the ship alongside it, adjusting its course. As soon as the sails turned, the big ship creaked, split the waves, and moved forward with ten thousand powers.
Lu Heng, Duan Peng and the others stood on the deck of the flagship, seemingly talking about the next battle. In front of them, there was a table, on which was spread out was a large piece of paper recording the various plans for the landing operation.
This plan was sorted out by Duan Peng after careful consideration, and naturally Duan Peng was responsible for explaining it.
And Lu Heng was standing aside, just listening to Duan Peng's detailed plan. Occasionally, questions are asked about some of the key points. But most of the time, I keep a good listening posture.
Since the battlefield of the Southern Front was handed over to him. Lu Heng didn't interfere again. As the person who coordinates the overall situation, Lu Heng only needs to tell his subordinates the outline and ideas of the entire battle plan, and the specific implementation will be implemented by his subordinates. If you stick your finger here and there, it will make the people below a little confused.
What Duan Peng was talking about at this time was his thoughts and steps on landing operations.
Basically, after the Snow Wolf Battalion uprooted the stronghold of the coastline. The fleet docked, and the troops began to advance along the established route, towards Incheon County. After arriving in Incheon County, a part of the army was responsible for blocking enemy reinforcements, and the main force was responsible for conquering the county seat.
In this era, there is no flaw in the battle plan.
Moreover, Lu Heng also believed that with Duan Peng's wisdom, this battle should be fought beautifully.
It's just that...... After listening quietly, Lu Heng pondered for a moment, looked at Duan Peng and said, "General Duan, have you ever thought about it?" Why did so many new weapons appear in this war against Goryeo? ”
"This!" Duan Peng thought for a while, looked at the military advisor, and said cautiously: "Is it to test a new weapon?" ”
Lu Heng shook his head, smiled, and said gently: "The weapon has been tested for a long time before it leaves the warehouse. However, this time the new weapon was introduced to Goryeo, and there was a certain element of experimentation in it. However, in the final analysis, the reason is because ......"
"Time!" Lu Heng slammed his fingers on the table, banging, looked at Duan Peng fixedly, and said in a deep voice.
"When?" After Duan Peng thought about it, he suddenly remembered the combat concept of the rapid advance of the army that Lu Heng had repeatedly asked before setting off again. Come to think of it, it should be that the Liaodong area is too tight. It's even on the verge of collapse.
"Damn it, I almost missed the overall layout of the military division!" After thinking about this, Duan Peng's face changed, and he hurriedly gave up his hand to make amends.
"Now that you know this, what new ideas does General Duan have for the upcoming landing operation?" Lu Heng waved his hand unmindfully and asked with a smile. Continue to remind him, wanting him to be more advanced in his combat thinking, at least close to the combat concept of hot weapons.
"Please also ask the military advisor to make it clear!" Duan Peng laughed, played a trick, scratched his head and hugged his fist.
Lu Heng shook his head with a smile, and did not scold him with a smile as before.
Such an unsatisfactory look made Duan Peng, who was waiting to be scolded, couldn't help but be curious. Turning his head, he glanced at it secretly, and found that the military advisor's face was sinking like water, and his expression was cold and frightening.
This is, what's wrong? What happened?
Duan Peng was suspicious on the side, Lu Heng had already focused his eyes on the map of Nagoryeo, pointed to the area around Incheon and said, "After the army landed, it began to advance towards Incheon. After arriving at the predetermined position, they used artillery and mortars to bomb the county town of Incheon and destroy all the resistance forces in the city. We will strive to take the county seat of Incheon in the shortest possible time. ”
"All over bombing?" After Duan Leng heard the military advisor's understatement, he suddenly felt a chill behind him. With a look of disbelief in his eyes, he looked at Lu Heng and stammered and asked.
According to intelligence, the county town of Incheon has a population of nearly 20,000, including the defenders. Doesn't that mean that all 20,000 people will be killed?
"Cover it all, bomb indiscriminately!" Lu Heng knew what Duan Peng was thinking, and after thinking about it, the expression on his face became firm, but he still insisted on what he said, nodded and said.
"In this case, will it hurt the people by mistake?" Duan Peng is a literati in the final analysis. Since he is a literati, he will follow the path of the sages. Not killing indiscriminately and convincing people with virtue is still the deepest hidden stubborn disease in his heart.
"The King of Goryeo has been in business for many years, and it is a religious way to run the country. Such a country is a country that has been brainwashed by religion, and its people are a bunch of crazy believers! Even a percent of the people have good thoughts. But ......" Lu Heng glanced at Duan Peng, his eyes were extremely cold, and he saw Duan Peng bowing his head in fear. Only then did Lu Heng retract his gaze, close his eyes, take a deep breath, and said lightly: "But we can't take this risk, we are responsible for the lives of soldiers!" ”
"Even if there is a percent, we should fight for it. If you kill them all, it's inhumane! Duan Peng blushed and argued. Although he was afraid of the majesty of the military advisor in his heart, the literati's surname still told him that he must fight for it. Otherwise, wouldn't he be a butcher if he killed innocents indiscriminately like this?
"General Duan thinks war is a humane act?" Lu Heng turned his head, stared at him suddenly, his face sank, and asked in a deep voice: "In other words, does General Duan think that war is humane?" ”
"This ......" Duan Peng was stunned, not knowing how to answer. After thinking about it for a long time, I still decided to stick to my principles. After all, it would be too difficult for him to attack a group of people.
"Okay!" Seeing Duan Peng's stiff neck and disobedient appearance, Lu Heng sighed powerlessly in his heart. He also knew that he couldn't convince this nerd with his mouth alone. He retracted his gaze, looked at the blue sea in front of him, took a deep breath, took out a scroll from his sleeve, and threw it on the table casually: "This is a battle report from Liaodong a month ago, General Duan take a look!" ”
Duan Peng looked at the military advisor with a bad face in puzzlement, and lowered his head in fear. Reaching out and picking up the battle report from the table, he opened it and looked at it, and was stunned.
On the battle report written in blood, a line of large characters pierces people's eyes. It's heart-wrenching.
"The enemy army captured Dandong and washed the surrounding counties of Dandong in blood. None of the soldiers and civilians in the county survived, the corpses were piled up like a mountain, mourning was everywhere, and blood flowed like a river! Dandong, which was originally beautiful, has completely become a dead city! According to preliminary statistics, the number of soldiers and civilians slaughtered has exceeded 100,000! ”
Duan Peng's eyes were full of horror, and the hand holding the scroll was trembling violently. The stubbornness in his eyes was gradually replaced by a blood-red murderous aura.
Looking down, it was the words of the Liaodong Jiedu envoy: "The loss of Dandong caused the people of the whole city to be slaughtered by the enemy, and none of them were spared." The sin deserves death. However, I only ask Your Majesty to give the minister more time to say, and leave the guilty minister with a few surnames. After destroying this group of beasts, the ministers should apologize for their sins with death and comfort the souls of the Dandong soldiers and civilians in the sky! Otherwise, the sinner will not be blinded! ”
After persisting after reading it, Duan Peng stood in place, as if he had lost his soul, his lips pursed, and the scroll in his hand also slipped to the ground.
"100,000 soldiers and civilians, 100,000!" Duan Peng's eyes were blank, and he sat on the ground weakly, tears of remorse falling suddenly.
On the side, Wu Zheng saw that the Lord was so sad and indignant, and his heart was also shocked, and a bad feeling hit his heart. Strode over, grabbed the scroll on the ground, and after taking a look, the corners of his eyes were grinning, he smashed his fist on the table, and roared through gritted teeth: "Beasts, Lao Tzu is going to slaughter them!" ”
"What do you think?" Standing in front, the scholar who was standing quietly with his hands behind his back turned his head, his eyes flashed fiercely, stared at Duan Peng, and asked in a deep voice.
After hearing the military advisor's question, Duan Peng's body shook violently, and he looked at the military advisor's cold eyes. Duan Peng took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe the tears on his face, and an ugly smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. raised his head and nodded slightly to Lu Heng: "The humble general knows what to do!" ”
The rough face, the smile, is full of cruelty and murder, which makes people's hearts turbulent.
Standing up on the ground, Duan Peng took a deep breath, looking at the military advisor in front of him who had just advocated bloody measures against the Koreans, he felt a long sigh in his heart. After a long sigh, Duan Peng walked up to Lu Heng, clenched his fists and bowed his head and said, "The inferior general has a request, and I hope the military division will agree!" ”
"You say!" Lu Heng's eyes flashed slightly, his eyelids drooped, his eyes were leisurely, he nodded, and said in a deep voice.
"Fighting on the southern front, the inferior general is commanded by one person, I hope the military division will ......" Duan Peng took a deep breath, the muscles on his face twitched hideously, raised his head, and looked at Lu Heng fiercely: "I hope the military division will not interfere and stop it!" ”
Seeing Duan Peng's murderous appearance, Lu Heng also knew what he was going to do. After thinking about it, he nodded slightly.
However, he then stretched out two fingers, shook them in front of Duan Peng, and said lightly: "I'll give you twenty days, and in twenty days, you Duan Peng can do whatever you want." But after twenty days, you have to calm down! ”
Duan Peng grinned, showing his white teeth, his eyes were blood-red, and he said with a cruel smile: "The inferior general is very calm now, very fucking calm!" ”
Turning his head, he said to Wu Zheng, who also had a gloomy face beside him: "Wu Zheng, you say, is Lao Tzu calm now?" ”
Wu Zheng nodded, and a more sinister smile appeared on Scar's face: "Hehe, general, the humble general is also very calm!" ”
"Don't worry, I'll look at Boss Duan!" Wu Zheng took a deep breath, and there was a hint of murder in his eyes. Clenched his fists and said to Lu Heng.
Seeing this, Lu Heng glanced at the two murderers steadily, nodded, and didn't say anything more.
Blood debts need blood to be repaid, and this is a matter of course. As for humanitarian, heh, after so many years of war planning, Lu Heng has never heard of it, that war is humane.
There may be victims and persecutors, and there may be justice and injustice, but all wars are not humane.
100,000 unjust souls, there is always something to pay tribute to!
After Lu Heng glanced at the two of them, he withdrew his gaze, and then set his eyes on the battle map again.
After all, the Inchon landing was only the first battle that kicked off the war, and there was much to come.
"After pouring and conquering the county town of Incheon, the troops stopped for a while, and after that, continued to advance on the eastern front! Same methods, same tactics. Continue to advance eastward. And after conquering Incheon, someone will give us some war horses, and then you can use the cavalry as the lead and quickly advance to the eastern front! Lu Heng's face was calm, pointing to the east-west line that ran through the continent, and said lightly.
"Cavalry? Where did the cavalry come from? Duan Peng's face was still blank, and his voice was like metal rubbing, which made people panic.
"The soldier is yours, and the mount is sent!" Lu Heng noticed his slip of the tongue, and after explaining, he looked at Duan Peng and said with a smile: "As for who sent it, you don't have to think about it." Anyway, when the time comes, it's just that! ”
"Take advantage of the cavalry's ability to raid quickly, combined with the power of gunpowder weapons. Come like the wind and go like electricity, with lightning speed, conquer the enemy's castle and open up the east and west coastlines of the mainland. This method of warfare can be described as a blitzkrieg! Duan Peng raised his head, looked at the military advisor with blood-red eyes, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, this is Blitzkrieg!" Lu Heng smiled, nodded and said.
After looking around, I saw that the fleet was in full formation, and the morale of the soldiers was high. Lu Heng smiled slightly, turned his head, looked at the vast sea, and secretly said in his heart: Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. Zhanxiong, you kid must do a good job for Lao Tzu!
…… Night.
Goryeo, Incheon.
The moon hid in the clouds, where the clouds were studded with a black-gold edge.
Under the night sky, the vast coastline stretches as far as the eye can see.
There was wind, and the waves crashed against the shore, making a soft sound.
On the flat sand, the fine sand is soft. A drunken Goryeo soldier, after walking a few steps on the beach, burped. Then he untied his clothes and began to pee towards the clean water.
The Goryeo soldiers hummed a little song with a leisurely and comfortable expression on their faces.
The wind passed softly, and the drunken Goryeo soldiers suddenly felt sleepy, and after yawning, they muttered in their mouths, not knowing who they were scolding.
Behind him, the sea shook slightly, and a ** ripple spread out in all directions.
Gradually, a drenched figure emerged from beneath the water's surface. In his mouth, a dagger glittered with cold light, snatching people's spirits.
In the night sky, the moon completely disappeared into the clouds. The earth was dark.
Suddenly, the figure that surfaced suddenly moved. A cold light flashed, and blood shone brightly.
The flickering cold light, dazzling, illuminates this exotic night!
