Chapter 124: Naval Raid
At the end of April of the fifth year of Chungpyong, a fleet of hundreds of large ships slowly sailed south along the west coast of the Korean Peninsula. Under the darkness of night, this huge fleet is like a swarthy monster lurking on the water, seemingly ready to open its fangs and devour everything at any moment.
The flotilla had reached the middle of the peninsula in the second half of the night, when the flotilla was approaching the shore.
This fleet was undoubtedly the so-called Youzhou Navy led by Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and their mission was to surprise Ma Han's heart, eliminate Ma Han's palace in one fell swoop, and split Ma Han in half.
, what kind of battle is this, to transfer all other people's troops to the northern border, take advantage of the emptiness of people's internal military strength, and come to a black tiger to dig out their hearts when they are completely defenseless, isn't it a bit too despicable?
Suddenly, a little flash appeared on the nearby shore, which stood out in the darkness.
"Report, the target found on the coast seems to be our communication signal."
"Call the signal to confirm whether it is our contact location."
"No."
After a while, the lights on the ship flickered, snapped, and flashed, and flashed, and then flashed, and the lights flashed three times in succession.
Looking at the shore again, the lights went out and it was pitch black.
In a few moments, the shore flashed again, this time four times in succession. The code is right, this is the landing site.
On a large boat, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin stood side by side, staring at the shore.
"Report, it's been confirmed that this is where our fleet docks."
"yes, got it."
Jiang Qin hugged his fists and said goodbye to Zhou Tai: "Youping, the little brother took the first step and said goodbye." ”
"Brother Gongyi, I wish you success, brother is waiting for good news."
After the two said goodbye, Jiang Qin raised his feet and started, jumped onto another boat with one lunge, and led more than 200 boats to the shore.
It turned out that the two of them did not land together, Jiang Qin's task was to land here, because there was a relatively large tribe not far from the shore here, and his first action was to pull out this tribe first, and then continue to march east to cut off the return route of the Mahan army that was still on the northern border.
And Zhou Tai has to go some distance south, and this part of their army will land in the nearest place near the palace of Ma Han, and attack the heart of Ma Han as quickly as possible.
For this day, the brothers have been preparing since last year. It can be said that the brothers now know Ma Han very well, and have already sent people to lurk in Ma Han's territory early, and everything is ready only to the east wind.
Bidding farewell to Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai continued south. In fact, the distance was not very far, less than twenty miles, and the ship once again found a signal.
After confirmation, Zhou Tai ordered the fleet to sail towards the shore.
As soon as the fleet approached the shore, the people who had been waiting on the shore hurriedly ran over: "Report, spy No. 021 is on duty, everything on the shore has been prepared according to the instructions, please instruct." ”
"Okay, wait for the soldiers to come ashore, and move as soon as you take a break."
After all the soldiers landed, the big ship sailed away from the shore and slowly sank into the darkness.
"Le Cong, lead the vanguard of this team to follow the guide closely, pay attention to concealment and not reveal your whereabouts."
"No, Le Cong takes the order."
When the army started, only the sound of footsteps in the darkness was heard, and no one made other sounds, which showed that the army was disciplined.
This time, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin led 30,000 soldiers to land on the peninsula, and the two were divided into half of their troops. Zhou Tai's task is to attack the Mahan Palace, because it is late at night, personnel have already been arranged along the way, and the distance is not very far, so that he will not go the wrong way, and specially select a place where there is no one, and there is no need to worry about being discovered, so as to increase the effect of the surprise attack as much as possible.
Although it was a night journey, the distance of less than twenty miles was nothing to the army, and when it was close to dawn, the army entered a forest, and the army arranged to rest and wait for the dawn to come.
When the day dawned, one or two people came out of the woods after a while, and after a while another one or two came out, and in a short time many people were scattered unconsciously. These people did not have long blades, and each of them hid short weapons, and pretended to be people who entered the city, and approached the north and south gates separately.
Everything was ready, Zhou Tai led 8,000 people to the north gate with an order, and Le Cong led 7,000 people to go straight to the south gate. Both armies were running at a rapid pace, splitting up to their targets as fast as they could.
During this time, the number of pedestrians at the city gate began to gradually increase, some people walked outside the city, and some went into the city, and many people piled up at the gate. Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look, why are there so many people over there, what are they doing?" ”
When everyone heard the sound, they turned their heads and looked,, isn't it, a large number of people and horses in the distance are running towards this side, there must be a lot of people, otherwise they won't roll up the dust, the momentum is very amazing!
"Oh no, it's the enemy, the enemy attack!"
Only then did the guard soldiers react, it was late, why did they go early.
As soon as this guy's voice fell, some people around him burst out, and the short knife in the hand of the closest person slashed out, directly knocking the unlucky soldier to the ground. The others were not idle, and took advantage of the lack of short knives to go straight to the vital points of a few soldiers, but a few people on duty at the gate of Lingcheng had not yet reacted to what was going on, and had already seen the king of Hades.
There was chaos at the gates, and those who had been in and out of the gates were so frightened that the men with short knives in their hands only cut down the people around them, and did not chase those who fled, but let them go.
An army of more than 10,000 people rushed into the city gate, a part of the people occupied the city gate, and the rest of the people quickly rushed towards the target in the city.
The situation at the South Gate is similar, it's all a routine. But the people here thought that it was far away from the northern border, and they never expected that the enemy had already entered the city. The most ridiculous thing is that there is almost no army here, and probably only a little soldier protection in the palace, right?
These soldiers who attacked the city were ruthless, as long as they were people who resisted slightly, they didn't say anything, and they slashed down and fell to the ground, where did the people in the city see this, they were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, and obediently gathered together according to the instructions, and were strung together with ropes.
The most ferocious is here in the palace, soldiers kill men when they see them, regardless of whether they have weapons or not, everywhere they go, there are rivers of blood, stumps and broken arms, it's really terrifying!
There were not many soldiers in this palace, and in less than half an hour, there was no man in the entire palace, and there was a dead silence.
The rest of the city will take a little time, and the obedient people are lucky enough to catch them and string them together, and those places that have fallen into confusion due to panic are unlucky, and as long as they do not listen to the greeting, the soldiers will not be polite, and will directly slash down with a knife, or pierce with a shot.
The chaos in the entire city lasted for a long time, and the bloody killing shocked the city and gradually calmed down, and after about two hours, it finally fell silent......
