Chapter 780: Lu Su's Proposal

Goryeo, Ganghwa Island, Li Chenggui was appointed by Myeongguan as the governor of Goryeo and led his troops to meet the Ming army's naval division.

The mighty warships of the Fubo Legion appeared, occupied Ganghwa Island, and confronted the king of Goryeo, Gaegyeongseong.

As long as Kaegyong is captured, the entire Goryeo Kingdom may be in chaos.

Until now, Myeongguan has not completely surrendered the Goryeo Kingdom.

Goryeo has a population of 10 or 20 million, which is only a lot more than Liaodong, and it is not so easy to consume the entire Goryeo Kingdom with the size of Liaodong.

"Scuttle the ship and prevent the Xia Army Sailors from entering the port!"

The Ming naval division went ashore and abandoned the defense of the port.

Hundreds of ships were scuttled and clogged the port of Kaijing.

This is a common tactic used by the unfavorable side in naval warfare.

"Li Chenggui, my soldiers need to rest, with the number of soldiers and horses in the Goryeo Kingdom, the sailors of the Xia army will definitely not dare to attack Kaijing."

The commander of the Ming army's sailor will wipe the black smoke from his face.

"Chen Lan, don't underestimate them. The aliens of Goryeo, they reminded me to be careful of King Xia, who is extremely powerful. And a powerful force, their generals often do not act according to common sense, and for the sake of military success, they may take the initiative to attack us. ”

Li Chenggui was not as relieved as the generals of the Ming army.

He had already regarded Goryeo as his own territory, and the Fubo Legion had appeared in the waters near Kaegyo, which made him uneasy.

"I am ordered by the King of Ming, the governor of Goryeo, to never allow the sailors of the Xia army to take away the capital city of Kaijing, which I guarded."

Li Chenggui was on the shore, looking at the Xia army fleet that appeared on the horizon, among which were nine huge Daifuku ships with towering masts.

The Fubo Legion has 120,000 soldiers and horses, including 70,000 soldiers, these 70,000 people can not only fight on water, but also on land, they are also an elite division, and the fleet can transport troops.

In the rear of Yi Sung-gye, 200,000 Goryeo troops formed a camp.

The fleet of the Fubo Regiment patrolled Ganghwa Island.

"Sure enough, they sank the ship and went ashore. The number of soldiers and horses of the Goryeo Kingdom seems to be somewhat large. ”

Zheng Zhilong looked at the army of the Goryeo Kingdom on the shore, and the darkness was overwhelming, and there was no end in sight.

"If you want to capture Kaijing, I'm afraid it's not so easy."

Yu Yunwen sighed.

……

Hefei City, Sun Jian stood under the city, looking up at this impregnable fortress.

Sun Ce stood beside Sun Jian, Sun Ce had scars on his face, and when he personally attacked the city, he was slightly injured.

"Father, Luoyang City has been captured by King Xia's soldiers and horses."

"It seems that we have lost the best opportunity to attack Hefei and retreat to Lujiang County."

When Sun Jian learned of the Xia army's victory in the Battle of Bishan, he knew that he had lost the opportunity to capture Hefei.

Song Jiang said on the side: "King Xia is really cautious, the northern war is so tragic, and he has never transferred the defenders of Hefei, I originally thought that there would be a chance for a sneak attack." ”

Song Jiang knew that Sun Jian had prepared for a lot of time in order to raid Hefei, which was also what King Wu meant. Hefei is in the hands of King Xia, and the threat to Jiangdong is too great, and the Jiangdong forces dream of taking Hefei and Shouchun.

"When the main force of King Xia enters Guanzhong, we still have a chance to attack Hefei. As long as King Xia dares to transfer Hefei's troops, we will definitely be able to take Hefei. ”

Sun Jian's second attack on Hefei City ended in failure, and he had to withdraw his troops for the time being.

The Jiangdong Army burned the camp, boarded the warship, and withdrew to the Lujiang River.

The sailors of the Xia army were concentrated in the Yellow Sea, on the contrary, there were almost no ships in the Yangtze River, which was completely monopolized by the Jiangdong forces.

Therefore, there were no ships that could stop Sun Jian's Jiangdong Army from retreating.

This is Sun Jian's second attack on Hefei, whether it is him, or the king of Wu behind him, they are persevering in Hefei City, presumably they know the importance of Hefei. Maybe we can find a way to hold peace talks with Sun Jian. ”

Lu Su looked at the Jiangdong soldiers who were receding like a tide.

Although Sun Jian was unable to conquer the heavily defended Hefei City, every time Sun Jian led his army to attack, the defenders of Hefei City suffered a lot of losses, and the soldiers, horses, grain and grass were mobilized, spending a lot of gold and silver.

Zhang Liao glanced at Lu Su with his spare eyes: "How to make peace with Sun Jian?" Sun Jian is the tiger of Jiangdong, the sworn brother of King Wu, and his attack on Hefei was mostly instructed by King Wu. ”

Lu Su disagreed: "Righteous brothers do not mean that they will act completely from the other party's position. The two major factions in Jiangdong are not exactly the same, and Sun Jian will naturally choose the most beneficial choice for the benefit of the Sun family for the sake of the Sun family. However, how to win over Sun Jian is indeed a difficult thing. ”

Chen Deng, who arrived from Guangling County to assist in defending the city, listened to Lu Su's words: "If you want to win over Sun Jian, it is nothing more than fame and fortune, and profit is divided into gold and silver, beauties, family interests, and so on. The relationship between Sun Jian and King Wu is that of righteous brothers, and what is closer than righteous brothers can only be marriage. ”

Lu Su thoughtfully: "Marriage? Sun Jian has several sons, and with the martial arts of the Tiger of Jiangdong, it should not be bad. Sun Ce, the eldest son of the Sun family, caused us a lot of losses, and Tian Ji and Yu Shi were once injured by him. ”

Lu Su seems to have great respect for Sun Jian, Sun Ce's father and son, and has an inexplicable good impression.

Lu Su thought that since Sun Jian, Sun Ce, father and son were quite brave, then Sun Jian's four sons should all be like this.

Moreover, Sun Jian also has three daughters.

"Propose to the lord, and how to decide depends on the lord's will."

Lu Su was very interested in Chen Deng's proposal, and even thought it was feasible, Chu Tian also had many sons and daughters, and it couldn't be easier to find someone to marry.

Because the Jiangdong Army took the initiative to relieve the siege, the city of Hefei was restored to calm again, allowing civilians to enter and exit.

Shi Qian, the military general of Liangshan who mixed into Hefei City, lowered his felt hat, and when he left the city gate, he caught a glimpse of Hu Sanniang patrolling the city wall: "Sure enough, Sanniang took refuge in the Xia army." Is that her son? ”

Shi Qian even saw Hu Sanniang holding a small child.

Hu Sanniang accidentally caught a glimpse of Shi Qian out of the city, and there was a trace of surprise in her heart, but she hesitated for a while, but she still did not reveal Shi Qian's identity.

Even if Shi Qian entered Hefei City to investigate intelligence, the Liaodong Army would not be able to capture Hefei.

Intelligence is very important, but in the face of absolute strength, if you can't attack it, you can't attack it.

……

"Marry the Sun family, so as to reconcile with Sun Jian and reduce the threat to Hefei City. This method sounds good, and it is worthy of the good old man Lu Su who came up with such a bad idea. Don't you want me to lose my daughter and break the army......"

When Chutian was gathering troops in Zhuo County, Lu Su, who was committed to diplomacy, presented a marriage strategy.

But Chu Tian had little interest in marriage.

The basis of the political marriage is that the two sides have common interests, and at present, there is a conflict between the Xia army and the Wu army, and the marriage is really not very strong.

"Unless Sun Jian marries his daughter, there is no possibility of marriage."

Chu Tian put Lu Su's plan aside.

Sun Jian's daughter got married, and Chu Tian thought about how he wouldn't suffer on his side.

"My lord, the various legions of the Praetorian Guard have been assembled."

Chu Tian stayed in Zhuo County for a few days, and his Praetorian Guard finally completed the assembly in Zhuo County.

"Go and relieve the siege of Youzhou."

The Liaodong Army should have been one of the strongest cavalry that Chutian had encountered.

In Jixian County, the Liaodong Army surrounded this Youzhou administrative office, using hundreds of large siege equipment to attack the city day and night.

The large siege tower, which was as high as the city gate tower, was pushed by hundreds of infantry and approached Jixian again. Kong Youde, the commander of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, stood on one of the large siege towers, and the movements of the defenders on the city wall were unobstructed.

In front of the large siege towers, the advantage of the walls disappeared.

A squad of archers is preparing rockets.

"Raise your shield!"

Kong Youde shouted, and the infantry above the siege tower raised their shields to protect the archers.

As soon as Kong Youde's voice fell, hundreds of rockets shot at the siege tower where he was, and many rockets hit the shield and nailed it to the shield!

The side of the siege tower facing the wall is covered with cowhide and mud to prevent the siege tower from being ignited by rockets.

"Extinguish the fire!"

There were still a few rockets that fell on top of the siege tower, and Kong Youde ordered the Ming army to extinguish the fire, and personally bent his bow and arrows to shoot one of the defenders.

The defenders on the city wall were hit by arrows, and one of the defenders' arms was even pierced by arrows and nailed to the wooden pillars of the city gate tower!

The bow body was tight, and a stream of arrows shot out, straight to Kong Youde!

Kong Youde subconsciously turned sideways to the side, and the arrow almost brushed against his face, almost killing him!

"What a hard arrow!"

Kong Youde looked in the direction where the stray arrows were coming from, and an archery general was carrying an arrow bag on his back and was cleaning the marksman on the siege tower.

The siege tower posed an unprecedented threat to the defenders of Jixian County.

The existence of siege towers wiped out the advantages of defending the city brought by the city walls.

"Die!"

Xiahou Yuan shot another arrow, and a sharpshooter really fell down, falling from the sixteen-meter-high siege tower, shattered to pieces.

Rumble!

A boulder fell, cracking a corner of the city gate tower, and Xiahou Yuan had to dodge the falling stones.

Several large siege towers cast shadows on the somewhat broken walls, and the defenders became frantic and concentrated rockets to fire at the siege towers, even the eight-ox crossbows and trebuchets came in handy to bombard the siege towers.

A siege tower was destroyed by a giant crossbow and collapsed diagonally.

The fire raged, and another siege tower rose into the sky with billowing black smoke, and the soldiers inside the siege tower abandoned the siege tower, which was about to be burned down.

But there were still siege towers that approached the walls.

The heavy tower bridge smashed down, killing several defenders at the head of the city, and a group of Liaodong heavy infantry descended the city under the cover of archers!

Dozens of arrows came and took away half of the Liaodong heavy infantry.

"Miss Huo Qing, this place is dangerous, not a place for you to stay."

Xiahou Yuan found that Huo Qing, who had a close relationship with the Xia Wangfu, personally went to the city to defend, and couldn't help but be anxious.

If something happens to Huo Qing, as one of the guards, he will most likely be held accountable.

"Only I can improve the ability of the defenders, Jixian can't afford to lose, otherwise, Youzhou can't be defended."

Huo Qing has a certain panel and characteristics, because Huo An has given a lot of benefits to Huo Qing in the rewards he has obtained in the past, so Huo Qing is not an ordinary player, with his characteristics, he is equivalent to a diamond-level general.

"It seems a little hard to hold ......"

Huo Qing found that the bridge of the tower with three siege towers had been lowered, and three teams of infantry fought out from the siege tower!
