Chapter 180
Toyotomi Shixu saw that the persuasion was ineffective, so he knelt down to Toyotomi Shouren and said: "My life was saved by the Fusang people twice, last time in the Nagato Sea, this time it was tens of thousands of Fusang people who desperately attacked the Liao army to cover my safe retreat, the man is alive, there is revenge, there is kindness, now, I want to repay the Fusang people's life-saving grace, why don't you fulfill me?" ”
Toyotomi Shouren saw that Toyotomi Shixu had made up his mind, and said helplessly: "How do you want me to help you?" ”
Toyotomi Shixu said: "Please help me persuade Ziqing, he is a person who values love and righteousness, as long as you and I plead, I will not refuse." ”
Toyotomi Shouren naturally knew what kind of person Baili Wuji was, he sighed and said: "You get up, I should go down, but if it is like what Dalang said, the Fuso people will harm the Central Plains in the future, don't you regret it then?" ”
Toyotomi Shixu said resolutely: "If there is really that day, I will definitely destroy it with my own hands." ”
Within a few days, the Liao army had reached the north bank of the Yalu River, and at this time, Yelu Jing and Yelu Li Hu were all together, with 60,000 troops to the other side of Yizhou.
The first thing they did when they arrived was to line up the tens of thousands of captured Fuso soldiers along the Yalu River, and then slaughter them in rows, from early morning to dusk, and the next day for another whole day.
The Yalu River was once again filled with corpses, and the river was once again stained red with blood.
The hatred has been deeply planted in the hearts of the people of the two countries, and it can no longer be dissolved.
After that, Jeregen began to build ferries and brought in bed crossbows, which were mounted on the bow.
And began training for operations on the river.
And Toyotomi Shixu and Toyotomi Shouhito also began to carry out a large number of bow and crossbow equipment and training for the Fuso army.
The Yalu River once again entered a brief stalemate.
……。
On the first day of April, in the early morning.
Four gunboats and dozens of transport ships from Jinling, Jiangdufu and Hangzhou rendezvous at the Bohai Bay. A landing was then initiated against the target.
The attention of the Liao State was on the battlefield against the Fusang army, and there was no defense.
The three-way army landed smoothly and swept towards their respective goals.
That day. The Tenth Army of the Black Flag Army defeated the 2,000 defenders of Laizhou and occupied Laizhou.
On the second day of the fourth month, at noon. The Eighth Army of the Black Flag Army, Liu Rengan, defeated the 1,000 Liao army of Jizhou and successfully occupied Jizhou.
In the evening, Chen Yanzheng of the Ninth Army of the Black Flag Army defeated more than 1,000 Liao troops in Zhuozhou and successfully occupied Zhuozhou.
The three-way army was victorious.
So, Peng Xiao led the fleet to return south as planned. Prepare to pick up the second echelon to the north.
On the third day of the first month of April, Chen Yanzheng's troops divided their troops into two routes to the north and south according to the plan.
On the fourth day of the fourth month of April, Liu Renzhen went down to the three states of Tan, Fu and Shun.
The fifth day of April. Chen Yanzheng went south all the way to Mozhou, and Liu Chuxin, the assassin of Mozhou, surrendered the city. The side pickaxe department arrived outside the city of Dadingfu.
On the sixth day of the fourth month, Gao Yanhui, the assassin of Yingzhou, and Wang Hongjucheng, the assassin of Ningzhou (now Qingxian County, Hebei), which was adjacent to Cangzhou, surrendered.
At this point, something even more gratifying. Zhang Zangying, the envoy of the Khitan Youzhou (now Beijing) and the assassin of Fangzhou, was in charge of the affairs of the Lutai army. Lead the soldiers and staff of the headquarters to return to the people's livestock. Among them, there are more than 109,000 people in Youzhou, tens of thousands of cattle and horses, and hundreds of boats. Liu Renzhen was overjoyed, ordered his subordinates to take over the defense of Youzhou, and ordered Zhang Zangying and others to be placed in the former official positions. Youzhou is the largest military town in Yanyun, and the Liao State designated it as Nanjing Xijin Mansion, and its recovery announced that there was no suspense in the recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun. Subsequently. Liu Renzhen led the army to march towards Juyong Pass.
Due to the fact that Baili Wuji instructed in advance to keep the Yanyun Pass as it was, in order to facilitate the defense of the Ming army in the future. Liu Renzhen did not ask the soldiers to use gunpowder to blow up the pass, but only used grenades.
The 3,000 Liao army of Juyong Pass, although they desperately defended, they were unable to grasp the essentials after all, and they were broken by Liu Renzhen in less than a day.
It was not easy for the Bian Ho Department to attack Dadingfu, which was heavily walled and garrisoned by 8,000 Liao troops. Ben Ho launched four attacks in one day, losing 2,000 men, but he could not take it. In desperation, Bian Ho ordered the whole army to rest and recuperate.
……。
At this time, after half a month of stalemate, the two sides had completed their combat preparations.
The 30,000 infantry of the Liao army rushed from Shangjing to the north bank of the Yalu River.
As a result, Yelu Jing ordered the Liao army to launch an attack on the south bank of the Yalu River.
As a result of this prepared battle, hundreds of bed crossbow ships were the vanguard, and they fired crossbow arrows twenty zhang away from the shore to suppress the Fusang army, and this time the Liao army crossed the river, and suffered much fewer arrows.
After suffering a certain degree of casualties, more than 80,000 Liao troops successfully seized the beach and fought hand-to-hand combat with the 100,000 Fusang troops on the shore of Yizhou.
In this way, the Fusang army was 100,000 against 80,000, and the Fusang army temporarily resisted the attack of the Liao army.
However, the Liao army's fighting spirit in the last battle, coupled with the fact that the ordnance was better than that of the Fusang army, an hour later, the defeat of the Fusang army was gradually revealed.
When hand-to-hand combat was in full swing, Toyotomi Morihito arrived with 50,000 reinforcements.
The arrival of 50,000 reinforcements aroused the morale of the Fuso army and reversed the decline slightly.
But Toyotomi Shixu knew that it was impossible for the Fuso army to defeat the Liao army.
After consulting with Toyotomi Morihito, Toyotomi Shixu began to prepare for a retreat.
According to the assumption, this retreat will be retreated to Kaijing, and it will be resisted by virtue of the strong wall of Kaijing.
The tragic hand-to-hand combat continued, and most of the blades of the Fusang soldiers were cut off by the Liao army, but often two or even three Fusang soldiers stepped forward to hug a Liao soldier with their flesh and blood, and then let the Fusang soldiers behind cut off the opponent's head with a knife.
Hand-to-hand combat was tragic, but at least it was worth it than being slaughtered by the Liao cavalry.
In hand-to-hand combat, at least there is a chance to fight back, but in the field, the Fuso army does not even have a chance to make a move.
An hour later, Toyotomi Shixu ordered the 50,000 Fuso troops brought by Toyotomi Morihito to quietly retreat.
And the Fusang army, which had been bonded with the Liao army, was abandoned.
Toyotomi Shixu knew that if there were too many Fuso soldiers, Baili Wuji would definitely not promise to let this soldier go, and only a moderate number of Fusang soldiers could survive.
None of the abandoned Fuso soldiers surrendered, not because they did not want to surrender, because surrender may have been a worse death, and since the war began, not a single prisoner has escaped with his life.
Therefore, every soldier of the Fuso Army is working hard, but many times he can't solve the problem desperately.
Because you are desperate, others only need to fight with you with a light knife.
Desperate is to have capital, just like the soldiers of the Black Flag Army back then, no matter how good you are, as soon as you pull the string, everyone will die together, this is called desperate.
At any time, if you have the capital to fight hard with the other party, the other party will be afraid of you, and now, the soldiers of the Fusang Army are not qualified to die with the Liao army, so it is not called desperate, it is called death. (To be continued......)
