However, it was also because the Mongolian army did not attack, but only surrounded the Ming army, which made the Ming army fearful, but pursued for a short distance, and after opening the road to Liaoyang, it formed a defensive formation and no longer pursued.

Otherwise, this Goryeo army would inevitably be completely dispersed, or even annihilated. You must know that there are cavalry troops on the side of the Ming army, and they can't be better at pursuing the defeated enemy. It was only because of the defense of the Mongols that there was no pursuit.

Lan Yu's department and the Ming army that came from Liaoyang to meet converged, and under the gaze of more than 100,000 enemy troops, they once again cheered "Wan Sheng"! They are showing off, they are demonstrating, they are celebrating victory!

Watching the converging Ming army slowly retreat to Liaoyang City, the Mongolian *** side, morale was low. As you can see, everyone is frustrated.

Several times the strength of the Ming army, the battle resulted in the Ming army coming and going freely. After seeing the power of the Ming army's various firearms, many *** have questions: The Ming army has so much powerful equipment, and there are few people who can't help them.

Almost all the way to "escort" all the Ming troops into Liaoyang City, Mongolia *** here, is a little overwhelmed.

Of course, this is for the Mongolian *** leader. As for the low-level soldiers, they didn't think about it so much, they just wanted to escape from Liaoyang City.

But the Mongolian leaders are in a dilemma, they know very well in their hearts that even the Ming army with fewer troops in the field can't be retained, how can Liaoyang City be fought now? I can't beat it at all!

However, if the troops were withdrawn like this, it would definitely be a very heavy blow to the morale of the Great Yuan Empire. In the future, if you want to lead troops to fight the Ming army again, it will be very difficult!

What to do?

The leaders of Mongolia *** couldn't go, so they were "surrounded" outside Liaoyang City, but they couldn't come up with an effective plan for the next step, so they could only spend so much until there was a turnaround or something to come up with?

Naturally, the messenger also flew to report that Naha was out there, hoping that Naha would come up with some way!

On the side of the Jurchen tribes, a few more tribes have escaped, and if they stay here, if they are forced to attack the city by the Mongols, it will be the end of extermination. If you run, at least you will have a way to live.

The Jurchen tribe who didn't run away didn't want to run, but they were watched by the Mongols and couldn't run away.

On the side of the Goryeo army, it was miserable.

Blocking the first battle, he was shelled by the Ming army and then pursued and killed, with heavy casualties. Of the 30,000 horses, only about 25,000 remained. These surviving soldiers no longer have any morale, and they can't see the elite spirit they had before.

Obviously, the powerful artillery of the Ming army filled the hearts of the Goryeo soldiers who were subjected to the shelling with fear. Even their commander, Li Chenggui, could see that the army under his command would not be able to face the attack of the Ming army at least in the short term!

At this moment, he really regretted it, knowing that the Mongols were declining, but he still thought that after all, Liaodong was still stronger than the Mongols, and he didn't want to offend the king and those powerful ministers in the court, but it turned out that his subordinates were beaten like this!

The road ahead, how to go, really have to think about it carefully!

Unlike the frustration of the enemy outside the city, inside Liaoyang City, there was laughter and laughter, and every Ming army soldier had a confident smile on their faces. Those who are not on duty are all talking about the joy of this battle and the incompetence of the enemy! Of course, the most was the shock of the new muskets and artillery.

This battle made them all full of confidence, Da Ming, invincible!

This is true even for the middle and upper echelons of the military.

The new muskets and new artillery, although there have been demonstrations of the generals before, but this is the first time that they have been fought on the battlefield. They saw the power of the new muskets and artillery, and at the same time saw the defeat of the enemy!

Every general in the army is full of praise for the new muskets and artillery, and at the same time, they also have great respect for the great horses who invented these new firearms!

The big horse, who is really a god and a man, can invent such a powerful firearm!

Xu Da was quite calm, although he was also smiling, but he still warned the generals below: "

There is no doubt about the power of the new firearms. But you have to remember that weapons are not the most important thing, and if you are targeted, you will also fall into a disadvantage, and you must not blindly superstitious about weapons, and you must not use weapons to win."

Speaking of this, he saw that there were generals below him who seemed a little unconvinced, so he continued to explain: "This time, the enemy's strategy of digging up the road is actually very good. It is only because they have not seen the power of our firearms and underestimated the power of our firearms that they have not succeeded. Otherwise, if they really dig up the way to retreat, so that the car battalion cannot cover the retreat, it will be impossible to retreat calmly under the encirclement and interception of superior forces. If it rains again, the damage is even worse. There are also foggy days, and the enemy can also use the cover of the fog to get close and fight......

With Xu Da's ability, on the basis of understanding the new firearms, he targeted the strategies to solve them one by one, which immediately calmed down many of the Ming generals present.

That's right, the reason why this time was such a big victory, in several times the enemy army, they came and went as soon as they wanted, and they were treated as nothing, and in the final analysis, they were caught off guard. If you encounter an enemy who really knows how to use soldiers, and an enemy who knows your own details, it will definitely not be so easy.

As Wei Guogong said, firearms units are also very dependent on logistics, and if they are surrounded by superior enemies in the field and run out of ammunition, the end will be very dangerous.

At this time, Xu Da looked at their expressions and had already listened to them. While feeling relieved, he said, "But since we have superior weapons, we must use them to give full play to the strengths of superior weapons. In the future, the proportion of armed forces equipped with new firearms will increase, and the tactics will certainly change. You may wish to think about it, in the future, when we go to war, how can we fight so that we can give full play to our strengths?"

At this point, he paused, and then added, "I have thought of a few points for your reference......

Lan Yu has been listening carefully, and combined with the battle under his command, he has even more insight, and he is more receptive to new tactics than other generals. After listening to it for a while, when he heard what the other generals said, there was nothing new, and his thoughts drifted. Thinking in my mind, His Royal Highness King Yan didn't know what to do? It's already fighting, right? ………………

He was not wrong, Zhu Di led the men and horses, and took the sailor warship day and night, and had already arrived at Jianghua Bay.

Ganghwa Bay is centered on the mouth of the Han River, stretching from Changshan in the north to the Taean Peninsula in the south. It is about 125 kilometers wide, with a coastline of 1,415 kilometers and a water depth of 5.3-5.5 meters. The islands are scattered, Ganghwa Island, Dafu Island, Lingxing Island, Longyou Island, and Deji Island are larger. The Han River, Imjin River, Yeesung River, etc. flowed in.

Among them, the Han River, known as the Kaesong River in this era, originates in the Mansu Mountains in the central part of the Korean Peninsula, flows through Kaesong, and finally empties into the Yellow Sea.

With a total length of about 250 kilometers, the Kaesong River is one of the largest rivers on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula. The river was a quiet and stable river, with fertile plains and hilly terrain on both sides of the river, and it was also a major transportation route at the time, connecting the interior of the Korean Peninsula with the Yellow Sea, facilitating trade and people.

Kaesong, the capital of Goryeo, is located on the riverside of the Kaesong River, only 40 miles away from Ganghwa Bay.

Kaesong also has a long history, having existed since it was originally Baekje, and has experienced Goguryeo and Goryeo. However, it was once captured by the Liao State and almost completely destroyed. Today's Kaesong was built by the king of Goryeo with 304,400 men from Dingfu.

The new Kaesong, with its 29,700 steps and 22 gates, can be said to be the largest and the strongest in Goryeo.

Even in later generations, this place is actually a very famous place.

Nearby are Seoul, Incheon, and Panmunjom, as well as the famous ginseng, which is also known as Korean ginseng, which is produced here in Kaesong.

When Zhu Di led thousands of warships and suddenly appeared in Ganghwa Bay, the Koreans here, whether they were on Ganghwa Island or on the ships at sea, were all stunned.

Even last year, when the Japanese were most rampant, they were only on the Jeolla Road side, and they did not dare to come to Ganghwa Bay.

"This isn't a Japanese ship, what's going on?"

"The Japanese must have come from the south, and there is no reason to go around to the north, it must not be

！」

"The ship of the Wako is not like this at all. And coming from the north, it can't be the ship of the Great Yuan Empire, right?"

"What are they doing here? Didn't our king submit to them? Did you send so many ships here to help us fight the pirates?"

"No, do you see those flags? It doesn't look like it, it doesn't look like it's from the Great Yuan Empire!"

"I heard that there were ships when the Great Yuan Empire was going to attack the Wa Kingdom in the past, and no ships have ever come since. This is not the ship of the Great Yuan Empire?"

"By the way, it seems that the Great Yuan Empire was driven out by a country called Da Ming. A few years ago, that country sent an envoy by boat, but it seems that he was killed by our king!"

「…………」

Most of the Goryeo people here have never seen the world, even if they see that Zhu Di has shown his flag, but few of them guess that this fleet is from the Ming Empire, let alone what purpose this sailor came here!

For them, this kind of relationship with foreign countries is not something they worry about, and even most people don't even know about the existence of the Ming Empire. In their cognition, they are afraid of the Japanese pirates, because Goryeo has always been the only one who has been attacked by the sea.

If the Ming Empire is to be truly recognized by the Korean people, it still has to be in the Joseon Dynasty.

At this time, Goryeo was all subservient to Meng Yuan, including their monarchs and courtiers, and they were all dressed in the same way as Meng Yuan, and they also used the era name of Meng Yuan.

In this context, the Korean people here, in addition to being shocked, are more curious, and they have looked at the huge fleet in the distance and speculated, and even many of them are forced to make a living, so what should they do!

For them, as long as the distinction is not a wolf!

Of course, there are also people from the government here. In shock, he naturally drove over and wanted to ask about the situation.

However, Zhu Di doesn't know how to bird a Korean like this at all, he goes on an expedition alone, has limited logistics, and pays attention to the speed of soldiers. Therefore, while moving on, he asked Ye Wang, who was familiar with Goryeo, to arrest the Goryeo people and verify the current situation by the way. qs

Based on the map drawn by Zhang Yifan to Zhu Di, he questioned the Goryeo people, and after confirming the location of the mouth of the Kaesong River, the whole army sailed into the Kaesong River and continued to march towards the capital of Goryeo.

Naturally, there are many boats on this river, after all, it is the external passage of the most prosperous capital of Goryeo.

However, when the Daming sailors sailed in, they didn't need to say anything, just looking at the number, none of the ships dared to stand in front, and they all avoided the shore in panic.

It was also after the Daming Sailors sailed into the Kaesong River that Goryeo understood what this menacing fleet was probably going to do!

So, along the official road of the Kaesong River, the fast horse galloped and immediately rushed to Kaesong to report the news.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way......"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack......

The messenger who reported the news, watching the people coming and going on the official road, shouted anxiously, thinking that they should get out of the way quickly.

However, his shouting made the pedestrians on the official road panic and blocked the road. In particular, it is close to the capital, and the carriages on the carriage have the background of dignitaries. There is no banner of the exclusive messenger, and how many people know how to bird!

At this time, the government of Goryeo was actually a constant party struggle, and the most powerful were Li Renren, Lin Jianwei and other pro-Yuan factions. They formed a party for personal gain, and when appointing officials, they were determined by the amount of bribes and the degree of service to Li Renren, etc., resulting in a serious problem of redundant officials, and abusing power for personal gain, annexing land, seizing slaves and maids, and so on. The end of all dynasties was found in Goryeo at this time.

In such a situation, the chaos below can be imagined.

Finally, the messenger was a little faster than the Daming Water Division, and finally arrived in the capital.

The Ming army's large-scale attack was unprecedented. At the beginning, no one will believe the reaction, so you have to confirm it first.

No, when the news was reported to the king of Goryeo, he didn't believe it at all.

"Your Majesty, the Ming Navy's division is already on the Kaesong River, and he will soon arrive at Kaesong, how can it be fake?"

After the summary of many news, it was finally confirmed that the Ming State Sailor really had to kill him, Wang Yu panicked and immediately convened his civil and military ministers to discuss the matter.

In terms of civil officials, it goes without saying, Li Renren, Lin Jianwei and others; In terms of military generals, Li Chenggui and Cao Minxiu are in Liaodong, but Cui Ying, another famous general in Goryeo, is there.

This Cui Ying, when she was young, was transferred to the Jianghuai region of the Central Plains by the Yuan Dynasty, the suzerain, and participated in the suppression of the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. After returning to China the following year, he made meritorious contributions in the battles of attacking the eight stations in Liaodong, repelling the Japanese and the Red Turban Army, and escorting the Yuan Army of Dexing Jun, and was regarded as a military general on the same level as Li Chenggui.

However, in the original history, he fell into the hands of Li Chenggui, so his reputation in later generations was naturally inferior to Li Chenggui.
