Chapter 10 The Conquest of Korea 4

readx;?? Chung To's Marines, after dispersing and infiltrating into the hinterland of Mingo Korea, began to carry out mobile operations to break diplomatic relations. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info.vd.m

The lone officials who ambushed the Minzi Joseon, the small number of mobilized peasant troops, and after contacting other friendly forces, several hundred-strong detachments attacked the villages and towns of the Minzi Joseon......

This is the combat tactics carried out by the Marine Corps under the command of Zhang Jiashi. In Bai Qi's words, destroying the war potential of Minzi Korea is also one of the ways to lead victory.

Chung To, like Tengjiao in many ways, still can't do that kind of indiscriminate destructive order, because for them, such things are difficult for them to accept.

However, once the few people who could understand the Korean language of Jizi got some evidence that the powerful landlords were indeed bad, Du Chung did not treat the families of these powerful landlords equally.

In a sense, Chung To also knew very well that if these powerful landlords jointly opposed Zhang Jiashi's rule, it would also be a trouble, especially under the premise that they had not yet achieved a comparative advantage, and it was also a big problem for these powerful landlords to fully support Jizi Korea.

However, the envoy sent by Chen Ping hinted at one point, that is, Du Chung did not need to estimate this problem at all. What he needs to do is at least destroy the foundation of North Korea's influence at the grassroots level.

As the area around Wang Jiancheng was gradually infiltrated and destroyed by members of the Marine Corps, in addition to the cities protected by city walls, many villages and towns successively appeared traces of the Qin army.

Under this premise, the mobilization capacity of Minzi Korea became quite low. Moreover, Chung Du faithfully carried out an order, that is, to use a small number of people who were willing to cooperate with General Zuo's Mansion to carry out propaganda offensives in other areas.

The three of them became tigers, but as various "rumors" in favor of the Qin army flooded these areas, in some cases, civilians in some villages were either slaves or even fought in conjunction with the attack force of the Marine Corps.

Soon, Chung To developed a stronghold in the area near Wang Jiancheng and even in some villages and towns.

It's just that, compared to this, because it is difficult for Du Chung himself to effectively know what the current situation of all the troops he sent out, let alone the contact with the Qin army troops in the north.

From time to time, Li Zuoche had no contact with Chung To's department, because there was no news of the other party at all, and he even had to give up his plan to go south on a large scale.

It's not that Ji and Li Zuoche don't have that guts, but this time the battle plan itself is a way that is more inclined to joint operations, and it is used as a war plan arrangement.

However, Ji and Li Zuoche are also not the kind of people who stick to the rules, and they are well aware of the fact that many things, including war, often change unexpectedly, so they are not too anxious about this situation.

Of course, there will still be complaints and the like, after all, no one is completely confident that there will be something wrong with the friendly units that can be counted as losing contact.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

A few days later, Han Shin's second group of troops, transported by the troops of Lou Chuanshi, set foot on Korean soil.

They were met by 500 marines left behind to defend the landing area.

After communicating with the commander of this unit, a five-hundred-hundred-person master named Han Yao, Han Xin knew some general information about the situation. He was in a rare contemplation for this kind of situation, which was not recorded in the war book.

Because in Han Yao's words, Du Cong's Marines seem to have built a fairly stable set of control areas in the core area of Jizi Korea. Although these places did not include cities that were not well defended, Han Shin knew very well that once the Jizi Joseon lost its local foundation, there would be no way to organize an effective defense more effectively.

Because in addition to the thousands of people who were well equipped according to intelligence, in the mouth of General Zuo, what are they called phalanx soldiers and the like, Mizi Joseon is like a military strength based on peasant soldiers like the heroes of the Warring States. After losing a large number of rural towns, it was difficult for them to effectively organize a fairly large force again.

Well, after becoming the commander of a professional soldier, Han Xin no longer thinks that these peasant soldiers have any greater significance in the battle situation outside of the dominant position in the battle situation.

Perhaps, relying on numbers to storm them is a good tactic. However, Han Xin believes that this will not have much effect on them.

Compared with this matter, Han Xin asked the officer with the same surname as him: "What is the situation of Captain Shi Du and Li Junshi?"

"Back to the Korean lieutenant, I don't know what I do. Han Yao told the truth very directly.

Well, after knowing this situation, Han Xin reluctantly called a personal guard and asked him to reply to Qin Min, who had not yet returned, hoping that the other party could transfer a batch of grain and grass and corresponding equipment over.

After Qin Min inquired carefully, he knew that Han Xin planned to rely on this area to consolidate a decision to gradually encroach on the sphere of influence of Jizi Korea, and he didn't say anything, he just said that he would convey the news to Xiang County, and let Chen Ping and Xiao He, who was in charge of general logistics, let the other party decide what to do.

Han Xin didn't say anything after knowing Qin Min's reply, after all, he didn't think there was anything wrong with such an arrangement.

......

There were about 3,000 officers and men under Han Xin's command, plus the 500 marines who remained, and Han Xin took the next step after resting for two days.

About thirty miles east of the beachhead was a medium-sized Joseon city, which, according to Hanshin's plan, would become the nucleus of his area of control.

He also saw Chung To, who had arrived from the east, and after carefully discussing the plan of action, Chung suggested that some personnel would be sent to conduct some special operations.

Han Xin was puzzled, and after Chung To's whispered explanation, Han Xin showed a look of surprise. Because Han Xin couldn't imagine that at this time, Du Chung had already integrated a small-scale force with North Korean peasants and soldiers as the theme, and he only needed to send people to hold some key positions.

In many cases, in order to do this, these North Korean peasants or peasant soldiers will not cooperate willingly, which is only a self-defeating thing.

And in his conversation with Chung To, the confidence in Chung To's expression made Han Xin have to ponder for a while and try the other party's suggestion.

Han Xin is not the kind of person who completely emphasizes the so-called frontal combat requirements, although he is not like Li Zuoche, who is more effective in taking advantage of the advantages at hand in the shortest time to control the battle situation. However, it is not that he is completely unaware of the benefits of doing so.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

After sending a team of knights to the north to contact the room or friendly troops, Han Xin mobilized 2,500 men, and 1,300 people mobilized by Chung To, united and waited for the opportunity to fight.

According to Chung To, there are not only some personnel he mobilized this time, but also some personnel have been sent out by him to carry out corresponding operations.

Han Xin still has some concerns about such a thing. However, judging from the size of this city and the degree of defense, Han Xin believed that even if such a tactic failed, it would not be difficult to storm the opponent.

Du Chung may have seen that Han Xin didn't seem to be at ease with the situation, so he didn't say anything, but showed some confidence in his expression.

This situation is more due to the experiences of Han Xin and Chung To, as well as their personalities. Han Xin doesn't trust anyone casually, which is also affected by his past life in Huaiyin County.

For example, Du Cong, although he is a fellow with him, he will not fully believe in Du Cong, if it weren't for such a tactic, for Han Xin, even if he fails, it will not have any impact on the strength of the troops, otherwise he will have more concerns.

Of course, whether Chung Du will be aware of such a situation, Han Xin is not very interested in knowing. All he needs to do is to get this city that has a lot of meaning in his heart in this operation.

......

In this city, the North Korean army defending the city seems to have heard the news that has been coming one after another in the past few days. Many people are worried about whether they will be attacked by troops of unknown origin.

However, what they did not expect at all was that there were several villages of peasant soldiers who had been arranged together in some of the houses that had been built behind the city walls to temporarily house the assembled peasant troops.

In many ways, there is nothing wrong with these people...... Judging from the appearance and the corresponding accent, this is completely the case, and some of the garrisons in charge of the investigation can't find any problems.

However, there is a situation that they overlook, and that is some people, who rarely speak. Some of the officers and soldiers who were investigating were puzzled by this matter, but under the cover of others, the garrisons who found problems did not have enough time to carefully examine these peasant households that might have problems in their eyes.

Maybe they should think about it, and one of the questions is to check the hands of these people, the hands that have been holding weapons for a long time, the calluses on the palms of the hands are still different from those of farmers or other professions.

However, these people are not North Korean officers, and in this year, the officers of the North Korean army have also become a group of moth-eaten existences.

So, these garrisons also didn't have much idea to do such a thing. After all, they themselves are mostly farmers.

......

Soon the sky grew darker as the sun set in the west.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the defenders also rotated.

However, no one could have imagined that at this moment or so of two hundred people, drawing out the iron swords that had been hidden in the grain sacks, and some shields fixed under some carts, left the room and rushed to the city gate and the city walls.

Among these people, some people may not be willing to use swords against their compatriots, but those Qin troops who were covered by them told them a truth, that is, after they completed the task, they would become a part of the Qin army, and their families could even really get a piece of land.

These simple young men have to grit their teeth and use the blood of "their own people" to infuse a bright future.

A group of people holding weapons like this, of course, could not do any other means of coaxing, so acting as soon as they left the house was a tactic that they could succeed.

The !!Marine Corps officer, who was wearing a tattered suit with a sword and shield in his hand, shouted loudly, and first rushed to the changing guard garrison who had not yet reacted.

The dozens of North Koreans behind him also howled in the same way and rushed towards "their own people".

At this time, the garrison of Chengyi had not yet reacted to what was happening, and after this Qin army officer slashed into the body of a low-level Korean army officer with his sword, blood splashed and splashed on the ground and the other party, many Korean soldiers knew what they should do now.

However, it was too late......

Facing the city gate and city wall in the direction where Han Xin and others were lurking, after not counting the melee with too many casualties, it was quickly occupied by these attackers.

Several Marine Corps officers quickly lit the makeshift forage and used beacons to make contact.

Of course, there will be something that may be exposed, but such a thing is no longer important, because the North Korean troops in other directions have also discovered the situation in this place, and they are constantly rushing over to fight with the attackers under the command of some low-ranking officers.

In the city gate area, many members of the Marine Corps formed a shield formation to resist the onslaught of the North Korean army.

At this time, as the vanguard of the response, Han Xin sent two hundred knights under his command to quickly rush into the city, and behind them, a large number of Qin infantry wearing iron armor and holding various iron weapons in their hands followed.

After these knights broke through the counterattack formation of the Korean army from behind the city gate, this time the battle can be said to have fallen to the side of the Qin army.

After the main infantry unit of the Qin army entered the city and joined the battle, everything had become settled. And it was only a matter of time before the city was completely controlled.

After the morning sun rose the next day, the Jizi Korean Xuanyao Banner hanging above the city tower was replaced by the black-patterned Xuanniao Flag on a white background of the Great Qin Empire, officially announcing that this city had changed hands.

Some of the defenders in the city still ran away, but Han Xin didn't care about this matter at all.

Anyway, in this case, it is not a good way to send personnel to hunt down these routed troops.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

In the fearful eyes of some North Koreans, Han Shin and To Chung walked out of the city lord's mansion where they were temporarily resting.

Han Shin also ignored these North Koreans, but set his sights on some other tycoons and their families.

Chung shook his head gently, he knew very well what was going to happen next. Although he was reluctant to do this, after being sent out to communicate and negotiate, or after the authorized personnel were killed by the other party, Han Xin directly ordered to break down the homes of these people.

Even the city walls couldn't stop the Qin army's attack, let alone these dwarf earthen walls?

In less than half an hour, some of the heroes in the city who were not willing to cooperate, their slaves and domestic servants, as long as they were armed with weapons, were directly killed.

And the remaining Haoqiang family members were basically completely captured.

Some of the powerful landlords who had been called over in the morning and were willing to cooperate with General Zuo's Mansion swallowed deeply and saliva. Because they also know very well what is going to happen next.

Han Xin glanced at his military commander, and then called a Qin soldier who could read the words on a proclamation and spoke the Korean language, and asked the other party to read the content aloud.

After the content of the proclamation was gradually recited, many of the family members who were tied up and then controlled by the Qin army cried out in despair.

Because, there may be some nonsense in the above content, but there is a sentence in it that all men are killed, and women are dealt with separately. This has made many people know that their end has really come.

Han Shin couldn't understand the language of the Korean region, while Chung To understood a little more. He glanced at Han Xin beside him and sighed softly.

At this time, Han Xin said casually: "Captain Du, you should know that this kind of approach is already quite merciful. ”

Du Chung nodded slightly and did not speak. Because indeed, as Han Xin said, in this place, it is indeed quite a merciful means to take such a approach.

Han Xin ignored his robe, but glanced at those who were willing to cooperate, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Perhaps the cooperation of these people is forced by helplessness. But after such a thing, and the fact that General Zuo's control over the Korean region is becoming more and more powerful, these people want to make some senseless waves, but they are just killing themselves.

Of course, Han Xin was well aware of a letter that Chen Ping had given him before his departure, which contained the hope that Han Xin would apply the governance model of Liaodong County to North Korea. That's what happened today.

And the constant slaughter cannot bring real subjugation, and Han Xin is naturally very aware of this.

After hanging the heads of the city walls one by one, regardless of age, as long as they were with handles below, the food and other utensils obtained from the homes of these powerful people were distributed to the poor people in the city in the hands of the Qin officers and soldiers who were smiling and trying to make a look close to the people.

Many poor people opened the burlap bags with trembling hands, and after seeing the food, clothes, and some utensils inside, many of them, after coming to their senses, said these words that most of the Qin officers and soldiers understood.

And the officers and soldiers who are in charge of communication are smiling......

Winning the hearts and minds of the people is naturally a key point, but in many cases, Han Xin knows very well that for now, the people's hearts and minds can only be used step by step to use various means.

Because they are still fighting, the follow-up is not something that can be done in the current situation.

Compared to the civilians in the city, Haoqiang, who was willing to cooperate, also benefited after a series of events that happened in front of their eyes in the morning.

After they had paid for the goods, they got the houses of the powerful landlords who had been exterminated or some workshops and shops.

Of course, they also have to be warned that if they want to do business, they are fine, but they have to pay the corresponding taxes.

Some heroes are naturally dissatisfied in their hearts, but in this form of weaker than others, what else can they do except do it?

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

After several days of day and night, the knight team sent out by Han Xin met the patrol knights of the prisoner army.

After meeting these knights half a day later, Li Zuoche understood the situation a few days ago.

After discussing the corresponding issues with the others, Li Zuoche wrote a reply and asked these personnel to return to the place where Han Xin was.

Li Zuoche then thought of a situation, that is, just by relying on this kind of contact information, it is difficult to effectively grasp the effective news of other places.

However, how can people including those who don't know that this question is likely to make things very troublesome?

They don't have a good way either. After all, for hundreds of years, the use of knights or chariots to deliver messages has become a mainstream way.

There are also people in the Mo family who can domesticate carrier pigeons, and they have very good experience.

But there is one problem that cannot be avoided, and that is that the carrier pigeon is very unreliable. Of course, it is not that domesticated carrier pigeons only know how to eat and do not know how to do "business", but there are too many natural enemies.

According to Zhang Jiashi's test, the effective delivery of carrier pigeons is less than 30%.

Where did Seventy Percent go?

Ran into the belly of the raptor......

After getting the statistics in this regard, Zhang Jiashi said something that made Chen Ping very stunned:

"***!Don't tell me anything about xx dramas in the future, the carrier pigeons in it are so good?"
