Chapter 205: Victory in the First Battle

There is a reason why Tao Kan chose to land in Obibang County, which is a place that has just been incorporated into Baekje, and the people's hearts have not yet been annexed, and if the Great Jin army suddenly appears here, it will definitely cause some confusion. In addition, it is only 500 miles away from the capital of Baekje, and once Obibang-gun is captured, it can effectively threaten the danger of the capital of Baekje.

After the forward troops set out, Tao Kan ordered Zhou Za to lead 6,000 troops to Jeju Island, and then use Jeju Island as a springboard to enter Mahan from the south, and then reorganize the army in Maham, and finally flank the Baekje army from the north and south with the main force.

Three days later, the forward troops of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, with the help of the navy, approached the coastal area of Obibang County, perhaps because the Baekje people did not realize that the Jin army would interfere in the affairs of the peninsula, and their defenders on the Obifang did not find the Jin advance at all. In this way, Yao Gezhong, with the help of the navy, successfully landed in Obifang County.

However, Yao Gezhong's camp had not yet been firmly established, and suddenly a cannon shot killed more than a thousand people from the mountain, armed with knives, guns, sticks, and shirtless, with colorful faces and hands. Yao Gezhong saw that this was a person he had never seen before, and he casually asked the soldiers beside him, "Join the army, do you think it is a savage?" ”

Yao Gezhong didn't pay attention to these people at all, because he had six or seven armies, and several warships to support! Don't say that more than 1,000 of you are a thousand ghosts, I will kill you and go back to hell!

Wang Shi, who joined the army, saw that the main general didn't care, he was a little anxious! I don't know where these people come from! It's scary!

"My lord, I don't know who this person is, but you see that our tired master has come from afar and is thinking of a plan!"

Yao Gezhong laughed and said, "Hahaha." No! What's wrong with our tired division! What a physical effort it took for them to rush down from the mountain! What's more, our Great Jin army is invincible! You step back first, and see how this official cleans up this rabble. ”

Wang Shi, who joined the army, dragged Yao Gezhong and didn't hold it, so he could only shout: "Be careful, my lord!" ”

Then he turned around and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to protect Yao Gezhong, a group of soldiers and soldiers followed Yao Gezhong to the front of the battle, Yao Gezhong looked at the rabble opposite, and there was a trace of contempt in his eyes! This group of people who don't know how to live and die dare to sneak attack my Great Jin army is simply impatient.

Although Yao Gezhong said it easily, he did not despise the enemy in action, only to see Yao Gezhong wave his hand and order, "Send a signal to the navy behind." Let them prepare for shelling! ”

At this time, the Jin infantry had not yet been issued with artillery. In addition to specialized artillery units, only the battleships of the Navy were equipped with cannons, and the naval battleships, patrolling back and forth on the shore, immediately turned their bows and prepared to fire shells after receiving a request from the infantry. Three fortune ships lined up. A total of 36 guns on both sides are all ready for firing!

The red flag of the soldier who raised the flag fell! Shells rained down on the enemy's side!

Enemy troops after discovering that someone has landed. Quickly gathered thousands of soldiers and horses to prepare to drive Yao Gezhong into the sea when they were not firmly on the ground, and they were about to be killed in front of the battle, but they were stunned by a burst of artillery fire!

The enemy army panicked. I'm scared!

I've never had a weapon like this!

The enemy threw down their weapons and ran behind the hill, and after a burst of artillery fire, the enemy killed and wounded more than 300 people. Yao Gezhong saw the enemy fleeing, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself: Xiaoxiao, you still want to run! Let you taste the power of our Great Jin's artillery fire!

Especially the flowering bomb, the explosion of 'bang', once it explodes in the crowd, it is really a piece of death! Some even blew people to pieces, and many Baekje soldiers died under the fire of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Before the rebels could catch their breath, the Xiang army was killed in front of them under the leadership of Yao Gezhong! The soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty wore iron armor, and the saber was sharpened like clay, and the Great Jin Dynasty was definitely ahead of the world for more than a thousand years in the technology of casting knives at that time. To put it mildly, the armies of all countries in the world combined are not the opponents of the Great Jin army.

People and weapons are the best in the world! This group of remnants of Baekje is the opponent of the Jin army!

A team of Mo knives killed hundreds of people, and their heads fell to the ground, followed by musketeers and longbowmen. Before the enemy army woke up, bows, arrows, and lead bullets fell from the sky, and they shot at the body and wanted to live.

At this time, it was too late for the Baekje soldiers to surrender! What a chance! In less than an hour, nearly 3,000 enemy troops were all annihilated, and the Jin army cheered!

Yao Gezhong was not so happy, he felt that this was the local army of Baekje, it was just a group of rabble, there was nothing to be proud of defeating them, what was the magic of the 6,000 elite troops who defeated more than 3,000 people?! Yao Gezhong ordered the soldiers to set up camp, and at the same time told the commander Tao Kan and the follow-up troops about the incident.

Tao Kan was glad to receive the good news from the striker, and since Yao Gezhong had already established himself on the coast of Daifang County, he quickly accelerated his march. Two days later, Tao Kan led thousands of Chinese troops to Yao Gezhong's camp. As soon as they met, Tao Kan happily boasted: "Congratulations to Captain Yao for his victory in the first battle, the general has already reported this matter to the imperial court!" ”

"Hehe, this is all the credit of the soldiers, and the subordinates dare not take credit!"

Tao Kan looked at the heavily guarded camp around him, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Captain Yao really deserves to be a rising star!" Now is the great enemy, and it is time to be careful. What do you think of Baekje through this battle? ”

"General, Baekje may not know that we came so quickly, and there was no large army deployed here to defend it, so it was killed by our army by surprise, if we were ten days and a half months late, I am afraid that today we will not face thousands of rabble, but hundreds of thousands of troops."

"Well, yes, you can think like this, the general is relieved, listening to victory is the duty of a general, but the attitude after victory is the essence of a general!" Tao Kan was originally worried that the young and vigorous Yao Gezhong would despise his opponent after a big victory, but now after listening to the other party's words, he knew that Yao Gezhong was in a good mood.

In the evening, Tao Kan received an urgent request from Zhou Za by sea, and the information said that the people of the South Road had successfully arrived at Jeju Island, and no Baekje ships were found along the way. It is now the tenth day of the third month, and according to the previous agreement, it should be that the Jin army and the Mahan army should join forces and attack Baekje. However, the front scouts did not find any trace of the Mahan army.

Tao Kan had a plan in his heart, he asked people to call the Ma Han envoy, and his generals were waiting for the Ma Han envoy in the military tent. Seeing the situation, the envoy of Ma Han asked a little puzzled: "General, I don't know what to call your subordinates?" ”

Tao Kan deliberately slapped the table and stood up and said: "I agreed with your king to gather troops in the south to attack Baekje, and now I have arrived on Jeju Island on the south road, but why haven't I seen the Mahan army come to meet for a long time, if you miss the opportunity to attack, this responsibility should be borne by you Mahan, and in the future, Your Majesty will blame you and you should be executed." ”

"The general is angry, angry!" When the envoy of Ma Han heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "General, it has been more than a month since the envoy left Ma Han, and the envoy is not clear about the current situation in the country. The Baekje soldiers are strong and strong, and my Sanhan tribe is not their opponent at all, and no one has come to answer at this moment, and it is very likely that the domestic situation has changed dramatically. ”

"No, the current enemy situation is unknown, and the commander can't easily send troops. In this way, Lord Chenzhi, you better go back to Mahan, as long as you send people to pick up people in the south, Captain Zhou will definitely take the opportunity to land on the south road, with the assistance of the soldiers and horses on the south road, you can always stabilize the crisis, right? ”

Ten days passed, during which a total of 27,000 people landed in Obifang County one after another, including the Sancha cavalry. In addition, all kinds of supplies also began to gather in Obifang County, in order to prevent accidents, Tao Kan hollowed out the two mountains behind the military camp to store grain, grass and ammunition, and sent heavy troops to guard it.

Yao Gezhong and Li Xiong led 12,000 troops to garrison about 20 miles away from the main camp, and there was a Imjin River leading to the sea. Tao Kan ordered them to garrison on the other side of the river, where the water is shallow, the river is 2 meters narrow, and the river is 30 meters narrow, and bridges can be built. This mainly solves the problem of drinking water for war horses.

In the end, Tao Kan also asked some soldiers to be stationed behind the two mountains where ammunition and grain and grass were stored to prevent a sneak attack by Baekje; Second, to prevent chaos and banditry; Three defenses against Goguryeo sneak attack. Tao Kan carefully looked at the map and felt that there were garrison troops in front of him and on the left and right, but there was no army at the mouth of the sea, and if Baekje sneaked up from the sea, he would suffer a big loss!

So he hurriedly sent a messenger to tell Lin Feng to immediately join the army from the sea and land, these days the navy has been transporting grain and grass for the army, not even a single enemy ship has been encountered, they have long been idle! At this time, after receiving the news of Tao Kan's request to join forces, the navy realized that the situation might change and there would be a big battle, so they quickly complied with the order to join the main force.

In the evening, several subordinates came down to the military tent to persuade Tao Kan to send troops to take down the county of Daifang, and they felt that although Tao Kan's arrangement was not missing, what did everyone come to do! First, expand the territory and win glory for the country; The second is that it is also to increase the official and enter the lord to glorify the ancestors.

It is understandable that they are selfish at this time, and most of them want to defeat Baekje as soon as possible. Everyone felt that it was not a way for the army to stay in the belt all the time, and it was better to attack while Baekje had not yet figured out the details of us. Listen to a few subordinates talking about you and me.

Tao Kan slapped the table and shouted, "What? Are you going to be able to do it? ”

Seeing that the commander was angry, a lieutenant hurriedly said: "My lord, stop being angry! We're here to persuadeβ€”"

Tao Kan interrupted him and said, "Persuade what? The area deep in the army is high and densely forested, and it is most forbidden to rush into light troops, what if you are ambushed by the enemy? Losing the battle is a trivial matter, but if we delay His Majesty's plan, we will be guilty of ten thousand deaths. Victory as a general is important, but how to achieve victory in line with the national strategy is even more important. Shouldn't you be concerned about the training of the non-commissioned officers now? As for the battle plan, it would have been planned in a few days. ”

Several subordinates were refuted by Tao Kan and had nothing to say, and they all bowed their heads and went back! (To be continued......)
