The napping sailors woke up one by one, and one by one, and it didn't take long for the two dozen sailors who stayed behind to stand on the water gate, watching more and more large ships appear on the sea level—they were all giant ships of this era, with warships in the front, merchant ships and cargo ships in the back!

――――――――――

After the Liao State moved east to Liaodong, for a long time, the military base of Liaonan was originally set up in Liaonan County between Liaoyang Prefecture and Liaojin, but with the rapid development of Liaojin, more and more affairs were inseparable from Liaojin, and all kinds of materials were quickly gathered here, so in the end, the military base was simply moved south here.

The troops of the southern faction are also divided into Hu, Han, and miscellaneous, the Hu Khitan Hui Xi tribes, all of which are subordinate to Yelu Shuogu and Xiao, and the miscellaneous Bohai Goryeo, this time also went out with the army, the Han is divided into two parts, one part is the traitor army brought by Du Chongwei, and the other part is the original Youyun's men and horses, the former went to attack Youzhou, and the latter also left a considerable part of the suppression in southern Liaoning, supervising the transportation of grain and grass, of which the largest important town is in Liaojin.

At the beginning, the conciliation faction unified the north and the south, the north was cut and the south was united, and now there are still 3,000 Hu cavalry and 7,000 Han soldiers in Liaojin, and the class is the commander, and Mo Baique is the deputy general -- he was able to escape this round of purge, relying on the shroud of Han Yanhui's father and son.

――――――――――

"General, General! Oh no! Suddenly a lot of big ships appeared on the sea! ”

The class was slightly taken aback, and hurried to the Liaojin Water Gate to watch.

Liaojin is a triangular city with water on both sides - one of which is by the Liao River. On one side by the sea, there are water gates in and out. Those who are close to the sea are called Haimen, and those who are close to the river are called Hemen -- the original plan for Liaojin. Yerod has put great effort into collecting the opinions of many people, and has built this place that can not only hold the river and the sea, but also be easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Before the Liao army invaded westward, Liaojin would send ships to patrol the coastal waters, on the one hand, to prevent enemy attacks, on the other hand, to distinguish between friend and foe, and merchant ships to give way. Pirates and enemy attacks were on guard, but after the surprise attack across the sea, the sailors who could go to sea were almost exhausted, so the outermost offshore patrol was temporarily abandoned, and only then did the Tang army be discovered when it approached!

――――――――――

"Yes...... It's a Tang ship! Don ship! ”

There are not many sailors left in Liaojin, but there are still some merchants who have been to Tianjin, and the naval warships of the Tang Army have been cruising in Tianjin Dengzhou all the year round, so the merchants of the tallest giant ships are all familiar to them.

The class was shocked, even if he was not a top general in the Khitan army. In the gap between the surprise attack of the country's naval division, the Tang army attacked, and at this time, it should have understood, and hurriedly shouted in horror: "Quick! Fast! Defend the city! Defend the city! ”

The daily defense of the two water gates of Liaojin was originally also mastered by sailors. The sea-crossing raid drew a large number of men so much that they had to be replaced by land soldiers, who took over soon and became unfamiliar. This is a sudden attack and rushing.

Over there, Datang's fleet was already approaching, and the side of the giant ship was swinging out. Countless small boats are like worker bees leaving the hive, riding the wind and waves to rush to the sea gate of Liaojin!

This is more than a year old. In the past year's training, Zhang Mai sent veterans of the infantry team under his command to conduct white-bladed training for them, equipping them with a number of firearms and equipment that had been treated with moisture, and asked Zhao Zan to organize them to exercise their ability to land operations.

More than a hundred small boats approached like bees and ants.

The Datang Navy has obtained the topographic map and defense layout map of Liaojin early on, where there are tides, where there are reefs, where the waves are fierce, and where the waves are slow, the sailors of Liaojin have already explored it clearly, and now it is cheaper for the Datang Navy. Even how to set up the embankment of the Liao people, where the water gate is, and what fortifications are on the city wall behind the water gate, Zhao Zan also knows it well! Therefore, more than 100 small boats went to attack the dead end of Liaojin.

Although the Khitan people themselves do not know how to sail, but I have to say that Yeluwu is really a masterpiece, in the past few years to collect coastal fishermen, pirates and Goryeo fugitives, and have created a coastal water division, the Tang Navy can naturally gather thousands of small boats in their own sea areas, but across the sea, small boats can not be brought more, under the advantages of one and the other, and then with the fortifications of Shuicheng, Liaojin to carry out a defensive counterattack will also have the power of a war, but now the shape shì, However, it could only be a group of land soldiers who stayed on the water gate to shoot arrows and throw stones at the undulating boat on the sea, and without the combat cooperation of the sailors and the wave-breaking boat, this defensive battle was extremely passive.

In just half an hour, more than 20 small boats have approached the landing, approaching the shoals, erecting shields, and at the same time, another fleet has forced into the Liaohe River from another direction, threatening the river gate of Liaojin!

"Archers! Archer! Shoot them! ”

The sailors of the Don Army, who have already logged in, are approaching,

The catapult was too low, it was difficult to hit the boat in the undulating waves, and the bow and arrow were too far away, the Tang army forced too fast, and there was no time to prepare for the boiling water and oil.

"Prepare for the rockfall! Stone it! ”

Unlike trebuchets, the stone-falling machine relied on the pulley made of zuò defense equipment learned from the Tang Kingdom, and lifted stones to fall down to deal with the approaching siege team.

Suddenly, there was a roar in the sky, and countless fireballs and cannonballs descended from the sky!

It was the Tang Army's sea catapult and more than 30 bronze firearms mounted on a giant ship, which were launched at the same time on the giant ship that was swinging out in a line -- at this time, the big ships of the Tang Army were also too close, and the catapults at the head of the city could not be accurate in smashing small boats, and it was difficult to smash large ships, but the cumbersome and immovable stone falling machine was the best target.

There were several explosions in a row, several catapults were smashed, cannonballs flew away, fireballs danced, and for a while, on the wall of the Water Gate, the defenders of the Liao army, who were already poorly trained, were also in chaos.

The class was at a loss for a while, and he still had a lot of experience if it was cavalry attack and defense. But the landing naval battle is completely the first experience, and I don't know what to do in the face of chaos!

At this time, someone came to report: "There is an emergency on the other side of the river gate!" ”

The class glanced at Mo Baique: "You still don't go to guard the river gate!" ”

Mo Baique said helplessly: "The last general has no military power now." ”

It was originally from after the class went south. The unified southern army and horses were especially strict in guarding the Han army. Although Mo Baique saved his life in this political turmoil, his power was hollowed out, and the deputy general was just an ornament. It was the land and water troops of Liaojin that were greatly suppressed as long as the Han people were greatly suppressed, and the Khitans were installed as generals up and down - and because the Khitan were not good at water warfare and did not know the sea conditions, this defensive war would be fought so badly at present.

In disgust, the class threw a command arrow to him, and Mo Baique took the order arrow and hurried away. He was a veteran general of the Han army in southern Liaoning, and the old department of the next large class under his command, as soon as he gained military power at this time, he quickly mobilized three or four thousand soldiers and horses.

Thousands of people flocked to the river gate, and the soldiers and horses under their command moved much faster than the subordinates in the class, and soon occupied their positions, at this time, the landing sampan of the Tang Navy was approaching, and the adjutant general said: "General Mo." We don't have enough sailors to go out of the water gate to defend against the enemy, hot water and hot oil are already burning, should we start throwing stones and bows and crossbows first? ”

Mo Baique's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he looked in the direction of Haimen. Seeing that the Tang army was invincible, and then remembered the humiliation he had suffered in class during this time, he said coldly: "What boiling water and boiling oil!" What slings, bows and arrows! Open the door! ”

Everyone was shocked: "What...... What the! ”

Mo Baique said: "Open the door!" ”

The adjutant general said: "General! ”

Mo Baique pointed to the approaching Tang Army ships and said, "Those are your own people!" How did the Khitan dogs forget about us during this time? The king came. Your brother and wife have been ruined in class, do you think you can cover it up? And you. You, you! Have you forgotten how you were whipped in class? You haven't got a wound on your back yet, are you? Forgot about it? ”

The adjutant general named Wang Lai's face kept twitching. The generals who were pointed out by Mo Baique were also excited, and there were two major tasks after arriving in Liaojin in the class, one was to collect military power, and the second was to suppress the Han people, so he deliberately indulged his subordinates to oppress the Han generals.

Most of the Khitans who came to Liaojin were poor and depressed in Liaoyang Mansion, and accumulated countless complaints in the hearts of the more and more wealthy southern factions in the past few years, and at this time, once they took power, they intensified and ravaged the Han army in southern Liaoning, so in just a few months, the Han farmers in southern Liaoning and the Han army in Liaojin have accumulated full of anger. That's right! Fuck, we're the opposite! Lead the way for the Don Army! ”

"Yes, yes! Open the door and lead the way! ”

Then two generals led people to open the door, and the Khitan generals who monitored the Han army hurriedly came out to drink, Mo Baique pulled out his knife, and the Khitan general wanted to resist, but Mo Baique's two henchmen helped him on the shoulder, Mo Baique raised the knife and cut his neck.

As soon as the knife saw red, the surrounding subordinates knew that there was no way out, and they all said: "Go, open the door and lead the way!" ”

Although they were originally Han Chinese, if the Khitan was in a strong position, there would still be some obstacles for these people to rebel, but now the Tang army obviously has the advantage, and it is to follow the trend if they open the door and lead the way!

The Tang army that attacked Hemen was originally a partial division, and its intention was just to divide the enemy's forces, but before the battle was engaged, the Water Gate was actually opened.

"There is still a water army on the other side? Do you want to come out to fight? ”

This was the first reaction of the Tang Army's sailors, but they were not afraid, and they couldn't wait for the Liao people to come out.

Unexpectedly, I heard Tang Yan with a large Youzhou accent at the head of the city: "Brothers, come in!" We'll show you the way! ”

The Han soldiers of the Liao army at the head of the city waved their weapons, but they all seemed to be "waving" and saying: Come in, come in!

"What to do? Could it be a trap? ”

"It's a trap and rush in!"

Dozens of small boats were on guard, and they were greeted not by an ambush, but by shouting: "Coming, coming!" ”

The captain of the Tang Army, led by the Navy, shouted: "You really want to lead the way? ”

Mo Baique greeted him and said: "I have been oppressed by the Khitan for a long time, and today the king came to save us from the dire situation, we are willing to defect before the battle, don't be suspicious!" ”

The naval lieutenant said: "If this is the case, you will give up the stronghold of the water gate, and wait for the follow-up landing force of our army to come ashore!" ”

Mo Baique said happily: "Okay! He also said, "Why don't you lead your troops to block the north gate and leave dozens of guides to the king?" ”

The captain said, "That's fine." ”

Mo Baique gave up all his strongholds. He left dozens of his subordinates as guides, and he led his men and horses to block the North Gate, the North Gate. That is, the only land gate in Liaojin.

This Khitan sea-crossing surprise attack only took away ships that could sail far away and a large number of sailors who knew how to operate ships. The small boats suitable for river and offshore use could not be taken away, they were piled up on the wharf inside the water gate, and since the Tang army had seized the river gate, these small boats naturally became in the bag, and the sailors in addition to occupying various strongholds, the other manpower rushed the small boats and transported the infantry on the large ships into the city one by one.

As soon as the Marine troops of the First Tang Army landed on the shore, there was no suspense in the battle situation in the city.

――――――――――

The class was anxious on the sea gate, and suddenly a Khitan hurriedly reported: "Oh no." Mo Baique's surrender to the enemy, and the Tang army occupied the river gate! ”

A stunned person in the class, Mo Baique betrayed? Did the Han soldiers surrender to the enemy? This matter was both reasonable and unexpected, and he was dumbfounded, so he heard a few slogans sounding in the city at some point: "Revenge for the family, Snow Country pain!" Turn your weapons to kill the Khitan and expel Hulu to restore Liaodong! Revenge, Snow Country! Turn your weapon and kill the Khitan. Expelled Hulu to restore Liaodong! Revenge, Snow Country! Turn your weapons to kill the Khitan and expel Hulu to restore Liaodong! ”

The sound was originally only heard from the corner of the river gate, as more and more people responded. It continued to spread, and finally it was all over the city! Whether it is the military and civilians in the city, or even the Han people, Bohai or Goryeo. All shouting! At this moment, there are only more than 2,000 Khitan people in Liaojin City, but the number of people shouting to kill the Khitan and drive Hulu has reached ten times!

Including in class. All the Khitan soldiers are as earth-colored as the earth! The Han soldiers at the head of Haimen had already stopped, and they were no longer throwing stones and arrows at the city. On the city wall, the soldiers of the Hu and Han sides were suspicious of each other - at this time, even if the Han soldiers on the sea gate did not want to rebel in their hearts, it would be difficult for the Khitan soldiers to trust them!

Suddenly, a Han soldier at the head of the city raised his sword and shouted: "Kill the Khitan!" Kill the Khitan! ”

The class was shocked and shouted, "Kill him!" A few Khitan archers were about to release their arrows, and more than a dozen Han soldiers around the Han soldiers were both forced by the shape and affected by the atmosphere, and they also shouted: "Kill the Khitan!" Kill the Khitan! ”

In the blink of an eye, all the Han soldiers on the city wall defected, and some people shouted: "Open the door, open the door!" Open the sea door! Let the outside brothers in! ”

And above the city, the Han soldiers either defended the corner, or gathered to kill, or for self-protection, or for revenge, the Liao army distinguished Hu and Han, and killed themselves! At the same time, the water gate was wide open, and the captain of the warship, who had been charging in the waves, drove straight in!

When the first battleship broke through the sea gate, all the Han people on the city wall, both soldiers and sailors, cheered wildly!

Anyway, this is my own warship! This is my own army! This is my own navy!

In the cheers of the Han people, the Khitan morale completely festered, and there was no fighting spirit in the class, so he turned around and fled with his personal guards.

"I'm going to run away in class!"

"Catch him! Get him! ”

"Catch this thief!"

In class, I listened to the louder and louder voices behind me, and my heart became more and more chaotic, just panicked like a lost dog, busy like a fish that slipped through the net! When he rode to the north gate and was about to escape, he suddenly heard a hideous voice above his head: "In class, my younger siblings taste very good, right?" ”

When the class looked up, he saw the king on the city wall pushing a bucket of boiling oil that had just been boiled and pouring it down, and shouted, "Go to death!" ”

――――――――

On this day, Liaojin changed hands. This is the starting point for the Northeast Territory to return to the hands of the Han family once again after a hundred years of fall.

The siege fleet seen in the class is only the combat unit of the entire Tang army fleet, and after the Liaojin conquest, the follow-up fleet will cover the sky! Like a cloud!

The big ship docked at the existing harbor facilities in Liaojin, released the small boat and sampan, and the Gao Xing Zhou Department, Yang Xin Department, Zhi Cong Shi Department and the fortification soldiers landed one after another!

Gao Yang folded Zhao Cheng's meeting, Mo Baique and Wang came to visit, Yang Xin said: "Are you Mo Baique?" Well done this time, the timing was right. In the future, when you pacify the Northeast, you will be listed as a first-class meritorious service, which was promised by the marshal. ”

Mo Baique was overjoyed and kowtowed to the west to thank him.

Yang Xin waved his hand, and Mo Baique and Wang Lai stood under the generals with interest.

Zhao Zan said: "Liaojin has been obtained, my task is half completed, how to act next, please show Gao Shuai." ”

Gao Xingzhou said: "I have trespassed." Liaojin has vested, and the next thing is to continue to force Liaoyang Mansion. The water situation of the Liao River, as well as the fortifications and facilities along the coast, Han Deshu has also reported in detail, as long as the fleet is on board, it will definitely be like a bamboo all the way. But there is a more important thing that is the return of the Han people in southern Liaoning. I thought that it would be better to use the second set of preparatory plans for the current situation, and the troops would be divided into two routes, and the land and water would advance simultaneously. The land and water are still led by Mr. Zhao, as for the land route, Mo Baique, are you willing to make another big contribution? ”

Now that the army of Liao is invading westward, Liaoyang Mansion is empty, southern Liaoning is full of Han families, and there is an invincible army of Tiance Datang behind it as backup, this battle is won and undefeated, why not fight? Mo Baique said happily when he heard this: "The last general is willing to be the forerunner!" Never give up! ”

――――――――――

On the second day after the Tang army captured Liaojin, it moved again, and the troops were divided into two routes: Zhao Zan left some sea ships that were not suitable for inland river walking, and the rest of the warships went north, taking advantage of the south wind, going up the Liaohe River, and forcing Liaoyang Mansion; Mo Baique received Zhang Mai's edict and led 7,000 Han troops to the north.

Wherever the soldiers and horses of the two routes went, they announced that all agricultural taxes for peasant households in southern Liaoning would be exempted this year, and called on the Han people in Liaodong to rise up to take revenge and restore the territory of the Han family in eastern Liaodong.

Most of the hundreds of thousands of Han people in Liaodong live on both sides of the Liao River, they were originally Yan people, and they were forcibly relocated here by the Khitan, almost every household has the pain of family ruin, and in recent months, the Khitan has changed the tolerance and oppression of the previous years, and the new hatred and old hatred are gathered together, and the whole Liaodong is like a pile of dry firewood, as long as the spark can start a prairie fire, not to mention where is the spark brought by the Tang Army? It's clearly a pack of explosives!

Therefore, when the news came out, thousands of miles shook! Everywhere the Tang army went by land and water, the people really came out of the sincerity of the pot pulp and food, and there were countless people who bravely brought their own dry food to advance with the army, Mo Baique's men and horses gathered more and more, and before they arrived in Liaoyang Mansion, there were forty or fifty thousand people following, Zhao Zan changed his mind, from the original attack plan that relied on the strength of the ship and artillery, to a comprehensive siege.

At the same time, the Tang Army's infantry cavalry, which had completely recovered after resting for two days after landing, also began to move.

――――――――

There will be classes tomorrow morning and afternoon, probably not more. Continue the day after tomorrow.

Well, if you're in good shape, you might be able to. (To be continued......)
