Chapter 779: Battle of Goryeo (Last Night)
In Luoyang City, Wu Qi led Wei Wushu into this new city, and Chutian's sphere of influence officially expanded to Luoyang City in the west.
The originally prosperous Luoyang City had been burned down, and Lao Qin did not burn Luoyang before withdrawing from the new Luoyang City, but chose to keep Luoyang.
Chu Tian didn't know what Lao Qin was thinking, but it was undoubtedly a good thing that he didn't have to build a Luoyang City again.
"Luoyang City has opened a teleportation array, which is convenient for us to move."
Chu Tian unexpectedly discovered that the newly built Luoyang City of Lao Qin had returned to the scale of a large city, but it was a pity that the Eastern Han Dynasty Palace in Luoyang City was missing.
"Send the captives to Kanto to prevent them from escaping. The states replenish the lost soldiers. ”
Chu Tian directly led the Praetorian Guard, entered the teleportation array, and went to Youzhou.
Tongguan, Lao Qin repeatedly strengthened this place, and the city wall level of Tongguan reached the highest level, which was indestructible. Tongguan divides Heluo and Guanzhong, Tongguan is Guanzhong to the west, and Heluo is to the east.
A group of Qin troops held Changge in their hands, crossed the majestic Tongguan, and entered the pass.
The Qin army was a little depressed, and the battle flags were all low.
"About 40,000 Qin Ruishi, 3,000 Golden Fire Cavalry, 2,000 Flying Bear Army, and 100,000 low-level soldiers were killed, Iron Eagle Ruishi, Iron Harrier, and the trapped camp were all annihilated, and Gao Shun, the main general of the trapped camp, was captured."
Jia Xu reported the loss of soldiers and horses to Lao Qin.
Lao Qin couldn't help but sigh: "At least 150,000 soldiers were lost in the Battle of Bishan. 150,000 people were gone. ”
A team of soldiers and horses passed from Xiliang to Chang'an, and they were supposed to go directly to Luoyang to join forces with Lao Qin, but after all, they were a step too late.
"My lord, Zhang Dao, who entered Kou Liangzhou, has been repulsed, and the Qiang tribe and the Di tribe have sent 30,000 troops, and 50,000 soldiers and horses from Liangzhou have come to pick up."
Liangzhou Assassin Xie Ai led Xu Huang and Pang De to Tongguan to answer Lao Qin.
The nobles of the Qiang tribe and the Di tribe stood behind Xie Ai and met Lao Qin.
Lao Qin looked at these Qiang and Di nobles who had surrendered, and Fu Jian, the leader of the Di people, attracted Lao Qin's attention.
At present, Chang'an still has a deterrent effect on these Xiliang tribes, but after the defeat of Lao Qin, the attitude of these tribes is very important.
Fu Jian said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, please don't care about His Royal Highness King Qin." Maybe it will be up and running soon. ”
"Stick to Guanzhong, with the danger of mountains and rivers, to see if there is a turnaround. This king will hold a banquet in Chang'an to entertain you. Wang Jian was responsible for the invasion of Luoyang, and Wanyan Zonghan invaded Hanoi County, so that the Xia army could not enter Guanzhong westward. ”
Lao Qin regained his confidence a little, and arranged for two commanders to invade the two counties of Yin and Hanoi in Henan occupied by the Xia army, disturbing but not attacking, so as to slow down the pace of the Xia army's attack on Guanzhong.
For Chang'an, Luoyang is the outer defense line, and if you lose the periphery, there are still Tongguan and the Yellow River to defend.
In Chang'an City, Li Si heard about the Battle of Bishan and fell silent.
"Wang Lang, you can go back. betrayed the King of Qin and took refuge in the King of Xia, forgiving his fate. ”
Li Si rejected the proposal of Wang Lang, the envoy sent by Chutian.
Wang Lang was Chutian's subordinate when he was in Xuzhou, and he had been following Chutian for a long time, and was sent by Chutian to lobby Li Si.
Wang Lang said: "Since Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, the yellow turban is rampant, the world is strife, the society is in danger of accumulating eggs, and the living beings are in urgent need of hanging upside down. If Mr. surrenders with Lilly, he still does not lose the position of marquis, and the country is safe and happy, isn't it beautiful? ”
"Don't say more, come, send off."
Li Si threw off his robe and asked the guards to send Wang Lang away.
Wang Lang left Shangshu Mansion and shook his head: "These people are so difficult to convince, it is difficult for me to complete the task given to me by King Xia, I don't know if King Xia will be to blame." ”
……
"Wang Lang failed to lobby Li Si and Zhu Jun in Chang'an."
Zhuo County, Youzhou, because Ji County was surrounded, so Chutian could only teleport to Zhuo County, and then set off from Zhuo County to relieve the siege of Ji County.
He learned the results of Wang Lang's lobbying.
"If they were so easily persuaded, there wouldn't be so much to do. But the reluctance to surrender now doesn't mean ......"
Chu Tian disagreed.
Lao Qin's losses did not lead to the collapse of Guanlong, 100,000 in Hedong and 150,000 in Pishan, and about 250,000 soldiers were killed on Lao Qin's side.
When the Qin army is really injured, it is estimated that there will be more people who surrender.
"It will take ten days to gather troops and weapons, and I hope Jixian can hold it for ten days."
After the battle, Chutian's soldiers were full of blood and recuperation in Zhuo County.
……
In the sea area near Lelang County, the two fleets met, and the Dafu ship of the Fubo Legion hit the Ming ship, and by virtue of its size advantage, the Ming ship was knocked over, and the armor and sailors on the deck fell into the water one after another.
Rumble!
Another nearly fifty-meter-long Daifuku ship hit a ship less than thirty meters long, the solid ramming angle was embedded in the wooden boat, the broken wood splashed, the wooden boat appeared a deep crack that was visible to the bone, and the sea water poured into the cabin!
"Shoot the arrows!"
Hundreds of rockets from the Ming army ships shot out, hitting a lucky boat, and the warship burned on the sea.
Yu Yunwen, the commander of the naval division of the Fubo Legion, looked around the entire battlefield, nearly a thousand ships were fighting in the waters of Goryeo, and the dense ships were mixed together, covering the sea, and the black pressure was overwhelming.
Myeongguan also set up a naval division to engage in trade between Liaodong, Goryeo, Dongying, and Jiangdong.
After the sailors of the Xia army and the sailors of the Ming army met in the waters of Goryeo, the two sides, who had been at odds with each other, attacked each other.
The ships of the Xia Army's naval division were significantly larger, while the Ming Army's naval division was more flexible, and the Fubo Legion, with its huge hull, was crushed head-on.
The opposing flotilla, using its flexible mobility, dodges the large warships, and then fires a salvo of arrows in an attempt to set the Daifuku ship on fire.
A large ship has been hit by hundreds of rockets, barrels and sails have been ignited, and the fire has spread to the entire ship!
The Daifuku ship, worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, was destroyed in the fire, and the sailors and soldiers on the ship jumped into the sea!
"The commander of the opposite fleet is not a mediocre person, if it is an ordinary general, he may have been intimidated by the momentum of our fleet, and he has no power to fight back at all."
Yu Yunwen can see the level of their main general through the reaction of the Ming army's naval fleet.
"Order Zheng Zhilong to attack the opponent's flagship."
The most effective general under Yu Yunwen is still the ship king Zheng Zhilong.
Zheng Zhilong's Dafu ship had a broadside battle with a large merchant ship opposite, Zheng Zhilong personally led the Zheng family's sailors to jump on the opposite deck, and cut down the enemy soldiers on the deck with a sharp blade, blood splashed on Zheng Zhilong's face, stimulating Zheng Zhilong's ferocity!
The Ming army sailors even used merchant ships to enter the war!
The two sailors fought hand-to-hand on the deck, and Zheng Zhilong personally cut down several enemy soldiers and quickly occupied the entire merchant ship.
The nets flew out and forcibly captured the commander of the merchant ship.
Zheng Zhilong wiped the blood on his face and looked around, black smoke was billowing out, the two fleets were still fighting fiercely, hundreds of warships were burned, and the firelight was reflected on the sea, burning the cold sea red.
In addition to the most majestic Daifuku ships, there are also bloated turtle ships participating in naval battles, with dragon heads spewing smoke from burning sulfur and rockets fired from the turtle ship's mouth at the opposite ship.
The Ming army sailors faced the turtle boat like an iron hedgehog and had no way to start.
The turtle ship was covered in iron armor and had an iron cone on it, so even if the opposing ship wanted to engage in broadside combat, it would not be able to start.
The turtle ship commanded by Yi Sun-sin has greatly improved the various abilities of the turtle ship.
Ten turtle ships went on a rampage on the warship, knocking over more than twenty small boats.
If it weren't for the Daifuku ship stealing the limelight, these ten turtle ships would have shined.
The large bowl erected by the Daifuku ship fired a volley, the white gunpowder smoke was filled, and the lead bullet pierced through the female wall of the opposite warship, and the sailor soldiers behind the female wall were shot, and there were blood holes in the armor!
Although the power of the large bowl mouth gun is not as good as that of the bronze artillery, the large bowl mouth gun is already one of the more powerful original firearms.
The first appearance of the large bowl of guns in the naval battles of the East, the sound of heavy guns had a terrifying effect, and the Ming army's sailors were deterred.
The Ming Navy Division, a military general, stood on the bow of a fortune ship, commanding the Ming Army Navy Division to deal with Yu Yunwen's corps.
The big bowl was so powerful that the main general trembled a little.
"The ships of the Xia army are equipped with firearms, and the main general is also one in ten thousand."
The generals of the Ming army's sailors are not weak, but the problem is that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
The economic conditions of the Chutian forces allowed him to expand the Fubo Legion to 120,000 men and thousands of ships in a short period of time, while more than half of the ships of the Ming Army's naval division came from merchant ships.
"General, there's a big ship attacking us on the other side!"
The commander of the Ming army's naval division looked in the direction indicated by his subordinates, and Zheng Zhilong's Dafu boat was approaching him.
Zheng Zhilong, the general of the Fubo Legion, was completely red-eyed and kicked a captured enemy soldier directly into the sea.
The order he received was to attack the warship where the main general on the opposite side was located.
Everywhere the Daifuku ship went, crossbow arrows and large bowls were fired at the same time, and any ship that came close to the Daifuku ship was shot at by the Daifuku ship!
The billowing smoke and deafening shouts made Zheng Zhilong's blood boil.
"Retreat to Ganghwa Island and avoid its edge, Goryeo General Yi Sung-gye, can let us take refuge."
"Yes."
The flagship of the Ming naval division raised the flag of retreat, and after losing 300 large and small ships, retreated to Ganghwa Island in Goryeo.
"A total of more than 100 ships were lost, and 40 ships were captured. Governor, the Ming army has retreated, what should we do? ”
"Go and pursue, but we have a good wind, they have a good wind, and it is difficult to catch up."
Yu Yunwen knew how difficult it was to annihilate the enemy in naval warfare, because the sailing ships were at similar speeds.
"They want to return to port, protected by soldiers and horses!"
Zheng Zhilong boarded Yu Yunwen's warship.
"Burn all their ships, attack Goryeo, delay the forces of Goryeo, and our Fubo Legion has completed its mission. There were at least a few hundred thousand people in Goryeo. Although the strength of the Goryeo Kingdom is not very good, our sailors are not good at land warfare, so we can only say that we meet opponents in chess. ”
