Chapter 347: Occupation of Goryeo (II)
With the addition of the three-masted warship, the Ning Dynasty Navy surpassed the Goryeo Navy in both speed and firepower, and the Goryeo Navy was beaten in a small harbor for a while and did not dare to come out at all. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, the king of Goryeo also led an army of 200,000 to the edge of the city captured by Li Yao, Li Yao did not occupy the city in the past few days, mainly because he was not familiar with the way of fighting Goryeo, so Li Yao wanted to be more familiar with it, and began to clear Goryeo on a large scale.
Now that the king of Goryeo has come, Li Yao happens to save a lot of trouble, because if they want to run, it is indeed not a simple matter for them to annihilate them with 100,000 foot soldiers.
Goryeo's horses are very poor, the king of Goryeo has done his best to get these 100,000 horses, Li Yao looked at these horses that are not much bigger than mules, and he also smiled, such horses can also be military horses, Goryeo is really a small country!
The king of Goryeo shouted below: "Emperor Ningchao, come out and surrender quickly, I will spare your life, otherwise I will lead a large army to storm it." ”
Li Yao couldn't understand the words of this king of Goryeo, but he also knew that this person was the king of Goryeo by looking at his clothes, so he said to the gunner: "Aim at the king of Goryeo and all the generals around me, I will destroy them all at once." ”
The gunner nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I just let these Koreans see the power of our Daning Dynasty's firearms." ”
More than a dozen cannons were aimed at the king of Goryeo, and the king of Goryeo didn't know that this thing was a firearm, and he didn't care about it, and the king of Goryeo was at least two miles away from the city, thinking that no weapon could hit him, so he continued to scream there, wanting Li Yao to surrender.
At this time, the gunner had already aimed at the king of Goryeo and a military general, and after grasping the opportunity, the gunner decisively fired the artillery, and more than a dozen projectiles with large heads flew over, this kind of projectile was transformed by the Academy of Sciences, and the projectile was filled with gunpowder, and the projectile would explode after flying over.
The speed of the cannonballs flying is invisible to the naked eye, and after only a dozen sounds were heard, the king of Goryeo and the generals found that their limbs had been flown into the sky, and they did not know how they died until they died.
The 200,000 troops of Goryeo saw that the king and generals of Goryeo had turned into meat foam, and they were all frightened by this firearm, and the dragons were leaderless, and these Goryeo soldiers didn't know what to do at all, so they could only be stunned there.
Li Yao said: "The army charges, give me to capture them alive." ”
The 100,000 best soldiers in the city rushed out of the city and slaughtered the Koreans.
The Goryeo infantry had no military heart at this time, so they had to disperse one after another, and the generals of the cavalry were okay, because the cavalry was special, so the cavalry generals were not with the king of Goryeo, and therefore escaped death.
The cavalry general saw that the Ning Dynasty army rushed out, and he also knew that his cavalry had no military spirit at all, so he decisively ordered: "Cavalry troops, follow me back to the royal city." ”
The cavalry heard the main general speak, and immediately rode away from the battlefield, although the Goryeo horse was very rubbish, but it was faster than running on two legs, so Li Yao had to watch the Goryeo cavalry flee the battlefield, although the Goryeo cavalry fled the battlefield, but the foot soldiers were not so lucky, because Li Yao's army never lost to others, so they quickly caught up with the Goryeo foot soldiers and cut them down to the ground one by one.
At this time, the Goryeo cavalry had been running for two hours, and the Goryeo general saw that it was far away from the battlefield, so he let the army dismount and rest first, and rested for a while before rushing to the royal city.
Because it is cavalry, there is no so-called defense, and the deputy general of the Korean cavalry said: "General, after all, we have just escaped from the battlefield, so let's send some cavalry to guard it." ”
The commander of the Goryeo cavalry shook his head and said: "They are all foot soldiers, it is impossible to catch up with us, and there are no other troops found in Goryeo, so you don't need to worry about this, let the soldiers rest fully, recuperate their spirits, and wait until they will be in a hurry." ”
When the deputy general of the Goryeo cavalry heard the words of the chief general of Goryeo, he nodded and said: "The general is worthy of being the most powerful general in Goryeo, and the analysis is the head is the way." ”
The commander of the Goryeo cavalry heard the adjutant and said with a smile: "Haha, what you said is very good, after I go back and seize the throne, I will make you the chief general." ”
The lieutenant general of the Goryeo cavalry said happily: "General, is what you said true? But can we take the throne? ”
The commander of the Goryeo cavalry said coldly: "Now that the king of Goryeo is dead, and the patriarchs of many big families have also died, the entire Goryeo is the strongest and most powerful in our family, who else can be the king of Goryeo besides me?" ”
The lieutenant general of the Goryeo cavalry hurriedly said: "General, no, the king, I will be our king of Goryeo from now on, and we will always be loyal to you." ”
When the commander of the Goryeo cavalry heard what the lieutenant general said, he also laughed and said: "Haha, okay, I accept your allegiance, and when we take the royal city, you will be my cavalry commander." ”
The lieutenant general of the Goryeo cavalry hurriedly said, "Thank you for the king's reward." ”
At this time, the blind cavalry gradually approached the 100,000 Goryeo cavalry, and the reason why the blind man came all the way and was not discovered by others was because of the strategy of slaughtering the village, which could ensure the concealment of his cavalry.
At this time, the blind adjutant said, "General, what should we do?" Did you just rush over? ”
The blind man said: "As the saying goes, the thief captures the king first, they are resting now, so they don't get on their horses, let's directly lead the army to rush to the Chinese army, and then solve the main general of the Goryeo cavalry, and the rest will not be a problem." ”
The lieutenant nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do it." ”
The blind man quickly set up the formation of 50,000 military horses, 50,000 Dawan horses, I don't know how many times better than the Korean horses, the blind man shouted: "The whole army will charge with me, the rockets are ready, kill!" ”
50,000 cavalry launched an attack on Goryeo with the shouts of the blind man, the Goryeo cavalry general was still dreaming of the king of Goryeo at this time, and was immediately broken by the blind, the cavalry of the 50,000 Ning Dynasty was a surprise attack, so the speed was particularly fast, plus the opening of the rocket, so it quickly rushed to the cavalry here, the blind man saw the figure of the Goryeo cavalry general, pulled out the saber, and crossed against the Goryeo cavalry general, the martial arts of the Goryeo cavalry commander was not weak, and instinctively pulled out the sword to block it, But the blind man's steel knife was made by the craftsman himself, and it was many times better than the sword of the Goryeo cavalry general, and the impact of the blind man's crotch on the war horse, the blind man's war knife cut off the war knife of the Goryeo cavalry general, and directly slashed it and cut off the head of the Goryeo cavalry general.
Then the blind man picked up the head of the commander of the Goryeo cavalry and shook it, and shouted: "Descend and don't kill!" ”
But how could the Goryeo people understand the words of the Han people, and when they saw that their lord's head would be cut off, the army's heart was immediately dispersed, and they all stepped on their war horses and wanted to escape.
When the blind man saw that these cavalrymen had stepped on their horses and wanted to escape, he immediately threw away the head of the cavalry commander, waved his saber, and shouted, "Kill these Goryeo cavalry for me." ”
The cavalry of the Ning Dynasty saw that the horses of these Goryeo cavalry were so weak and running very slowly, so they picked up their sabers and rushed over, one by one.
After a day of fighting, Li Yao killed 100,000 Goryeo foot soldiers, the blind man killed 100,000 Goryeo cavalry, but his own casualties were less than one-tenth, the blind man quickly turned with Li Yao, Li Yao saw that the blind cavalry was also covered with blood, and asked: "How is it, what kind of big battle has you encountered?" ”
The blind man smiled: "I just slaughtered 100,000 Goryeo soldiers riding mules. ”
Li Yao gave a thumbs up and said, "Blind, you are really good, 50,000 cavalry can exterminate 100,000 cavalry in other places." ”
The blind man hurriedly said, "Big brother praised it." ”
Li Yao watched the cavalry fight for a day, and they were also very tired, so he said: "Blind man, let's rest here for a day now, and the day after tomorrow, let's go straight to the Goryeo Royal City and occupy Goryeo." ”
The blind man nodded, "Yes!" ”
At this time, the Goryeo Navy was also about to be dispersed by the Ning Dynasty Navy, although the Goryeo Navy relied on its familiarity with the terrain to slightly block the Ning Dynasty Navy, but with the exploration of the Ning Dynasty Navy, it had almost figured out where there were reefs and where there were none, and it was easy to rush to the hiding place of the Goryeo Navy.
The Goryeo Navy saw that the Ning Dynasty Navy actually came in, and they didn't know what to do, they couldn't fight and couldn't run, and they couldn't run away, so the Vice Admiral of the Goryeo Navy asked: "Commander, what should we do, if we resist the Ning Dynasty Navy, we will definitely be wiped out!" ”
The chief admiral of the Goryeo Navy was also frightened when he saw the strong strength of the Ning Dynasty Navy, and said: "We can't defeat the Ning Dynasty Navy at sea, so I suggest that we withdraw to the shore and rush back to the royal capital, so that the King of Goryeo can solve it." ”
The adjutant general hurriedly said: "The general is right, then let's withdraw quickly, withdraw to the royal city and let the king of Goryeo decide." ”
At the signal of the commander-in-chief, the Goryeo Navy abandoned the ship and ran to the Goryeo Royal City, and the deputy captain of the Ning Chao Navy saw this situation and asked, "Captain, what should we do next?" Is it a land pursuit? ”
The captain shook his head and said, "We are a navy, and there is not a lot of equipment on land, so we are still on standby at sea, and at the same time send scouts to follow to investigate, and send a letter to Your Majesty to let Your Majesty make a decision." ”
When the deputy captain heard the captain's words, he said, "Okay, I'll do it." ”
When the captain saw that the thousand warships of the Goryeo Navy were still moored in the harbor, the captain of the three-masted ship immediately said: "Go and burn all these warships, so many warships will be burned, and Goryeo will not be able to move on the sea." ”
The captain looked at so many ships and asked, "Captain, it's a waste to burn them all." ”
The captain said: "These ships are too old to suit our navy at all, rather than putting them in trouble, it is better to burn them down, so that even if Goryeo wants to fight at sea, it will be impossible." ”
The captain nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go burn their ship." ”
It was very simple to set fire to the ship, grasp the direction of the wind, pour a few barrels of fuel, and then set it on fire, and the wind took advantage of the fire to quickly burn all the more than 1,000 warships that stayed in the harbor.
At this time, Li Yao and the blind army also came to the royal city, when the general of the Goryeo naval army came to the royal city and found that the king of Goryeo was not there, he sent someone to inquire, and the result was that the king of Goryeo was wiped out, and the general of the Goryeo naval army got the news and immediately led the family forces to seize the throne of the king of Goryeo, and the family members of the former king of Goryeo were all killed, and for a time the royal city of Goryeo was bloody and bloody.
When Li Yao's army surrounded the Goryeo royal city, the new king of Goryeo immediately opened the city gate and surrendered, he had seen the power of the Ning Dynasty, so he also knew that if the consequence of stubborn resistance was to be exterminated, he knew that even if the Ning Dynasty defeated Goryeo, he also needed a Goryeo king to help him manage Goryeo, after all, a Han who didn't even understand Goryeo wanted to rule Goryeo, it was simply whimsical.
Li Yao saw that this person who claimed to be the king of Goryeo opened the city gate, and said in broken Chinese that he was willing to surrender, Goryeo was willing to surrender, Li Yao still accepted the surrender of this Goryeo king, just as this Goryeo king thought, Li Yao wants to rule here, he must have an agent to do it, his own troops are not much, if all is consumed here, it will definitely outweigh the gains, anyway, Goryeo has been disabled by himself, and he only needs to come over every day to collect protection money.
Li Yao patted the king of Goryeo on the shoulder and said, "You are very self-aware and can take the initiative to open the city gate and surrender, I have decided to appoint you as the governor of Goryeo Prefecture and help me govern Goryeo." ”
The king of Goryeo immediately nodded and said, "Thank you for your grace, I will definitely do all my best for Your Majesty to govern Goryeo." ”
Li Yao nodded and said, "Okay, since you have this heart, I heard that Korean ginseng and amethyst are your specialties here, you can help me collect some, in the future, Korean ginseng and amethyst must all be transported to Jicheng, if you find that you Koreans use these things for personal use, they will be killed." ”
For those who can rule Goryeo, what is the use of Korean ginseng and amethyst, so he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, my majesty." ”
Li Yao nodded with satisfaction and continued: "In addition, Goryeo is not allowed to have its own army, it is not allowed to have weapons such as strong crossbows, Goryeo is not allowed to have a naval army, the national government cannot exceed 10,000 people, and you need to pay a tribute of one million taels of silver to the Daning Dynasty every year, these are all treaties I set for you, can you do it?" ”
When the king of Goryeo heard Li Yao's conditions, he was immediately stunned, if he did this, wouldn't it be Goryeo or a slave country of the Ning Dynasty.
Li Yao looked at the King of Goryeo and didn't want to agree, and said with a smile: "Since the King of Goryeo doesn't want to agree, then I can only use force to make Goryeo agree." ”
When the king of Goryeo heard Li Yao's words, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, I promise, I promise!" ”
Li Yao patted the king of Goryeo on the shoulder with a smile and said: "Is this right, compared to being able to rule Goryeo, what are these conditions, can all taxes be looted from the people, if the people are in chaos, come and inform me, I will definitely put down their rebellion quickly." ”
When the king of Goryeo heard Li Yao's words, he immediately put his mind at ease, and he just collected taxes, even if the people below were in chaos, there was also the Daning Dynasty to help, which was much easier than being a shopkeeper, so he immediately said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will be your most loyal courtier!" ”
