Chapter 346: Occupy Goryeo
Li Yao didn't stay in Qizhou for too long, so he took his father, queen mother, and a group of family members to Jicheng, after all, Jicheng is the capital of the Ning Dynasty, and everything still has to be based here. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Now there are also places that are harmful to the Ning Dynasty, such as Tubo, Nanzhao Goryeo and Wa State, the military strength of Tubo and Nanzhao is not very strong, so Li Yao sent Su Feiguang's 100,000 troops there to clear it, and now the most harmful to the Ning Dynasty is Goryeo and Wa State.
Jicheng is a very special place in terms of geographical location, which can defend against the Turks to the north and Goryeo and Wa kingdoms to the east.
At this time, Goryeo occupied a large area of uninhabited land belonging to the Ning Dynasty, and it was impossible not to take it back, so Li Yao planned to attack in two directions, a total of 50,000 cavalry led by the blind man, starting from Jicheng, clearing all the way along the land to recover the lost land, and Li Yao led five warships, 100,000 naval troops and 100,000 army to attack from the sea and land in Goryeo.
When the Uighur king saw the blind cavalry leaving the Uighurs, he was immediately relieved, and the Uighur cavalry of the Ning Dynasty was waiting in the Uighurs, and his control over the Uighurs was really too weak.
However, in the three Ning Dynasty cities of the Uighurs, the Uighur king did not think that there was anything wrong, because these three cities provided the Uighurs with a lot of food, pig iron and other materials every year, which would only make them stronger, and the garrisons here were all foot soldiers, as long as there were no cavalry, then there was no threat to themselves.
The five warships soon came to Jinxian, because there was a railway between Jinxian and Jicheng, so 100,000 foot soldiers quickly came to Jinxian from Jicheng.
Because of the years of conquest, so now the conquest of Goryeo and the Wa State, the ministers of the court are opposed, the previous dynasties are because of the conquest of Goryeo, and the national strength has been greatly reduced, but Li Yao has his own ideas, the previous dynasties to levy Goryeo are because the time is too short, can not fight for a long time to fail, because Goryeo is particularly cold in winter, so the conquest is in April to October these six months, and the capital of the previous dynasties are in the Central Plains, just from the Central Plains to lead the army over it will take a month, Therefore, the actual campaign was only four months, and when the winter came, the Han army withdrew, and Goryeo took the opportunity to recapture the lost land.
However, Li Yao's method was different, because the capital was already close to Goryeo, and it was also a two-way march, so the attack efficiency could be much faster.
The fast attack of cavalry is used on the land route, and because of the popularity of cotton clothing, the soldiers' ability to resist cold is much stronger, and most of the time they don't have to worry about the impact of the cold.
As for the navy, it is even more powerful, with the existence of warships, it is not a problem to deal with those backward Goryeo ports at all, because Goryeo's technology is backward, so Li Yao is not worried about Goryeo's heavy weapons, after landing on the shore, just go directly to the cannon to blast through their city walls and break through.
And the most important thing is that a newly developed thing is going to equip the navy, and it is now coming from the port of Gangju and is expected to reach the waters of Goryeo within five days after Li Yao lands in Goryeo.
It took only five days for the warship to approach the port of Goryeo, which was not very backward, probably because of the perennial trade with the Han people, and earned more money, so it was built.
Because of the arrival of Li Yao's army, the port of Goryeo was immediately closed, and the Goryeo generals saw the menacing army of the Ning Dynasty, and immediately shouted in Chinese: "What are you here for?" ”
Li Yao listened to the broken Chinese words of the Goryeo general, and didn't bother to reply, and said directly to the captain of the warship: "Aim at that general and open fire." ”
The captain of the warship immediately conveyed the order, the main gunner raised the cannon, aimed at the enemy general, and opened fire decisively, with a "bang", a huge cannonball flew over and smashed directly into the Goryeo general, and several soldiers next to the Goryeo general were not spared, and they were smashed into flesh foam together.
Li Yao saw that the Goryeo lord was dead, and said coldly: "Of course, I came here to occupy your Goryeo, otherwise I would still talk to you about feelings!" ”
When the Goryeo soldiers saw that the Lord had been killed by such an unknown firearm, they immediately panicked and did not know what to do.
Li Yao saw that the Goryeo soldiers were frightened by this firearm, and immediately ordered the naval generals: "Landing on the coast and occupying the city." ”
Then he said to the infantry generals: "Organize 100,000 infantry to go ashore, then rest for three days, and after three days, launch an attack on Goryeo." ”
The king of Goryeo soon received the news of the fall of the port of Goryeo, slapped the table angrily, and said: "This Emperor Ningguo is really arrogant, the Han emperors of the previous hundreds of years have not been able to take down my Goryeo, and he, a new emperor who has just unified the Han people, dares to provoke me, I really don't know whether to live or die." ”
So the king of Goryeo said to his generals: "Send 100,000 sailors to launch an attack on the naval logistics line of the Ningguo Emperor from the sea, and if possible, directly launch an attack on the Ningguo naval army, I want to see this Han emperor, without the power of the sea, what else can he do to fight with me." ”
Then he said to the infantry general: "With 100,000 cavalry and 100,000 foot soldiers with me, I will personally meet this Han emperor for a while, but I want to see if in the land of Goryeo, whether your Han emperor or my Goryeo king is powerful." ”
At this time, the blind man's 50,000 cavalry also began to attack Goryeo, because the land is mostly grasslands and plains, there are many times when the army marches for a day without encountering a person, it is really insignificant, but even if it is like this, the blind man does not have to worry about his own logistics, because the blind man's logistics are directly supplied by the navy, and the logistics are replenished once every ten days, and the logistics for twelve days at a time, no matter what, it is enough.
The blind man's army marched for five days, and finally saw a village in Goryeo, the blind man knew that a village like this was basically half a soldier and half a people, and if he picked up a sword, he was a soldier, and if he picked up a hoe, he was a peasant, so his combat effectiveness was very weak, in order to maintain the secrecy of the cavalry, the blind man coldly ordered: "Slaughter the village, not allow one to be let go!" ”
It was impossible for a village of a hundred men to resist an army of fifty thousand fine cavalry, so in less than a stick of incense, the blind man wiped the village off the face of the earth, and said, "Go on." ”
The Goryeo navy was also dispatched at this time, and Li Yao's scouts in Goryeo also discovered the movement of the Goryeo navy, so Li Yao ordered: "Send four warships, 80,000 sailors to take the initiative to meet the enemy, and be sure to destroy all 100,000 Goryeo navy." ”
The admiral immediately took the order and left, Li Yao's foot soldiers also cultivated here for three days, and they were all full of energy, Li Yao took out a simple map, this map was originally drawn by the spies sent to Goryeo, it was not very detailed, it could only be accurate to the town level, Li Yao looked at it for a while, pointed to the town on the guide side and said, "Let's go and attack the town in the south." ”
Although there are enough firearms in the army, Li Yao is afraid that Goryeo's strength is too strong to deal with it, so it is safer to have naval support.
The Goryeo Navy soon met with the Ning Dynasty Navy, the Goryeo Navy originally disguised itself as a water bandit to plunder the coastal counties of the Ning Dynasty, and also met with warships, but their purpose was to plunder, not to fight, so seeing that this behemoth was basically hiding and walking, and had never fought head-on with the warship, but looking at this big guy who was not very fast, the Goryeo Navy was still confident to defeat them, after all, their speed of action was so slow.
The Goryeo Navy gradually approached the Ning Dynasty Navy, and the chief admiral of the Ning Dynasty Navy also saw that the Goryeo Navy was within his firing range, and immediately said: "Prepare the cannon and fire." ”
Four warships, eighty cannons have fired out shells, these shells are not the same as the army's, this is a chain bullet that specializes in hitting sails, the sails of the Goryeo navy were broken by the special chain bullets made by the Ning Dynasty navy, and the mast was broken in an instant, and the sailboats without power could wait for death on the ship, and the other Goryeo sailors saw that the Ning Dynasty warships could launch such powerful weapons, and they avoided them one after another, leaving these twenty or thirty unpowered warships floating alone on the sea, and the captain of the warship did not want to waste the shells, He said directly: "Turn on full power, and smash these warships in half for me." ”
The powerless Goryeo warship saw the warship coming in a daze, and thought that the warship must be crushing the warship with its huge body, but now it has no power, and it can't run if it wants to, so it has to jump ship one after another and escape to the powered Goryeo warship next to it.
The four warships went back and forth several times, crushing twenty or thirty warships in Goryeo, and the admirals of Goryeo saw that the warships were so invincible that they had no way to fight against them, so they had to stay away from the warships first, but fortunately, the warships were slow, and it was very simple to stay away from the warships.
The deputy captain saw that the Goryeo Navy had fled, and said, "Captain, what should we do now, with our speed, it is impossible to catch up with them." ”
The captain smiled: "Don't worry about this, there will be brothers to support us in a few days." ”
The vice-captain asked, "What kind of army is it?" ”
The captain said: "I originally wrote to Your Majesty that the warship will not be dispatched in groups in the future, but will take its little brother to form a combat group, so that it can give full play to its combat effectiveness." ”
The deputy captain asked, "What does the little brother mean?" ”
The captain said: "Each of our warships will have its own battle group at that time, and each warship will be equipped with ten newly developed three-masted warships. ”
The co-captain asked, "What is a three-masted ship?" I've never heard of it. ”
"The three-masted ship combines all the advantages of the previous ships, with a stern winch rudder, a square sail and a jib, which can take advantage of the wind in all directions, and the sails are suspended on three or four masts, which makes it more agile, and there are two or three square sails on the mainmast and foremast," said the captain. As the sail area increased, the speed of the ship increased, and the three-masted ship was equipped with two guns in the bow and five guns on each side, and the firepower was not to be underestimated. ”
When the deputy captain heard what the captain said, he exclaimed: "Captain, then what you mean is that this new warship is very fast and has very strong firepower. ”
The captain nodded and said, "That's exactly what you can say. ”
The deputy captain swallowed his saliva and said, "Then isn't the navy of our Daning Dynasty invincible." ”
The captain of the main ship smiled: "If you rely on technology, when have we Han people lost to others." ”
The deputy captain said: "Captain, when do you say our new warship will arrive, I can't wait to see the new warship." ”
The captain thought for a moment and said, "It should be just these days." ”
The Goryeo Navy was beaten and did not dare to approach the Ningchao warship, and the vice admiral of the Goryeo Navy asked: "General, what should we do, if we fight hard, we will definitely not be able to defeat it." ”
The Goryeo admiral can't think of a good way, even if he wants to fight a string battle, he has no chance at all, the warship only needs to turn slightly to one side, and the warship next to it can be crushed, and he can't connect the string if he wants to.
So he said: "Since we can't fight hard, let's follow them closely and wait until we think of a good way to attack them." ”
Two days after the Goryeo Navy followed the Ning Dynasty warships, a subordinate suddenly reported that there were many strange warships coming behind them, about forty or fifty, which seemed to be the new warships of the Ning Dynasty.
When the Goryeo Navy heard about the new warships, they immediately said, "The whole army will attack backwards and see what these strange warships look like." ”
At this time, the three-masted warships of the Ning Dynasty Navy were rapidly approaching the Goryeo Navy, this was their first battle, if this battle could be won, then their three-masted warship would become famous in one battle.
The new three-masted warship traveled much faster than the Goryeo Navy warship, and it didn't take long to meet the Goryeo Navy, which had thousands of large and small warships, and looked down on it in the face of fifty warships, and the Goryeo Navy admiral shouted: "Give me an attack and destroy the Ningchao sea ship." ”
At this time, the admiral Ning Chao also shouted: "Artillery preparation, shoot." ”
Although the guns of the three-masted warships were small-caliber, they were not weak at all, and they also used chain bullets, which basically broke their masts when they hit the warships of the Goryeo Navy, and the warships without power could only lie on their stomachs.
The speed of the three-masted warships was very fast, and the firepower was very fierce, and the Goryeo Navy warships could not touch these three-masted warships at all, and the three-masted warships had long-range attack weapons such as artillery, and the Goryeo Navy and the Ningchao three-masted warships of thousands of warships were beaten and blindfolded as soon as they met.
Seeing this situation, the Goryeo admiral had no choice but to give the order first: "The whole army retreats." ”
However, the Goryeo Navy wanted to escape, but the three-masted warship did not allow it, so it directly caught up with the Goryeo Navy and opened fire, killing hundreds of Goryeo warships along the way before stopping the pursuit and turning around with four warships.
The sound of the bombardment spread far away, and the captains of the four warships had already discovered that the three-masted warship was pursuing the Goryeo Navy, but there was no way to go up to help, because the movement speed of the warship was really too slow, and an hour later, the three-masted warship and the warship turned around, and the captain asked the battleship general: "How is it, what is the result of this battle?" ”
The warship general smiled: "It's just average, and I killed more than a hundred Goryeo warships, if I wasn't familiar with the terrain, I was afraid of encountering reefs, I would definitely be able to entangle them." ”
The captain gave a thumbs up and said, "Yes, it's awesome!" ”
Fifty three-masted warships were quickly distributed, each warship was equipped with ten three-masted warships, divided into four battle groups to strike at the Goryeo navy, and the remaining ten three-masted warships returned to the port to rendezvous with another warship, following Li Yao's orders.
