Chapter 52: The War in Baozhou

The new book "The Legend of Cultivating Immortals in the Infinite World" was uploaded, asking for support......

It's just a pity that such a rich piece of land, but because of climate reasons, it has never been used by the Central Plains people, but has become the cornerstone of the rise of generations of nomads.

"Heaven and Heaven do not take it, but suffer from it!" deserves that Middle-earth has been invaded by generations of foreign tribes.

And he, the Great Heavenly Master, is here, and he is here now, just to conquer this land, to develop this fertile land.

No one knew what the Great Heavenly Master of Lu Daowen was looking at, nor did they know what the soil on the ground of Lu Dao was looking at. Why did it make Master Wen look so happy.

"Let's go!" Wen Fei turned over and got on his horse, and suddenly became full of spirit: "This is a heaven-sent land, take it in accordance with the way of heaven, and it should be named Shuntian!"

The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, the army waved its flags, and a group walked past the Wenda Heavenly Master. The lineup is so prosperous that it obscures the sky, as if even the sun has lost its color......

On the east bank of Yalu Water, there is a city wall that is not too tall, but the location is extremely dangerous, with mountains and rivers in the back, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

This city was originally the border between Liao and Goryeo, and Baozhou City was built by the Liao people. It's just that when the Jurchens were in a hurry to attack it two years ago, those Liao people simply released water and gave way to the Goryeo people in this city.

Now this place is occupied by Goryeo, and the flag of Goryeo is also flown on the head of the city. Although the Jurchens sent people to negotiate several times, wanting to return to this city, the country of Goryeo has been a scoundrel since ancient times, and they refused to give this city to the Jurchens.

And the Jurchens are now pulling too big. But he can't afford to take care of such a small city.

However, on this day, the head of this Baozhou city was tense, and the city was full of soldiers coming and going. Even the gates were shut. A pair of enemies are coming.

And on this wide Yalu water, a huge fleet of ships pressed over violently, startling countless wild ducks flying by the river.

The fleet slowly landed on the riverside, and a Goryeo army drove over, very vigilant. It seems that he wants to find out where this fleet is coming from, and to be on guard.

Song Jiang stood on the boat with a cold gaze. He still had a white cloth wrapped around his shoulder, and he had obviously been injured not long ago, but his injuries were not yet fully healed.

On the same day, it was on the mixed river. The Goryeo fleet was coming, and two steamers had just sunk all the Goryeo warships. The Jurchen troops arrived, and he led his men to a scuffle before retreating to the ship.

Rao is so. He didn't know that Lu Dao had been shot by that marksman. If it weren't for the fact that his own soldiers desperately used their bodies to help him block an arrow. Now that he Song Sanlang, it's not just as simple as being hit by an arrow in the shoulder, he can't say that he has gone to see the Ghost Emperor Dazun!

Half of his brothers were killed in the battle, and they finally retreated, and after the Juehua Island and the reinforcements converged, they came to Baozhou with great momentum.

"It's strange, these Koreans have always been allies of our Great Song Dynasty, why can't Master see them so much?" Bai Suzhen was a little curious.

Bai Yuchan smiled: "Anyway, Uncle Shi, he has always done things like this. If you say that it sounds good, it is called unpredictable ghosts and gods, and if you say it is ugly, you can do whatever you want. Who knows what he thinks!"

Neither was in charge of the war. Far away fighting.

Lian Hai said with a smile: "Didn't you say it last time, Master thinks that between heaven and earth, the dragon veins move eastward. The land of China is also migrating from west to east all the way.

In the earliest three generations, the dragon vein was in the northwest of Gansu. After the Zhou Dynasty, it was moved to Guanzhong. And now in our Great Song Dynasty, the northwest of Guanzhong is dilapidated. The capital was moved to Kaifeng. ”

"Yes, yes. My master also said that the city of Tokyo was not an imperial residence, that is, a temporary capital, and that sooner or later it would have to move to other places. Bai Suzhen laughed happily.

"Yes, Master intends to move our Great Song Dynasty capital to Yanjing. It's just that this matter is too involved, and there are too many people who oppose it. Don't make a noise!"

Lian Hai solemnly admonished his two junior brothers and sisters. The main reason is that Bai Suzhen is naïve and scheming, and she will leak the matter.

"We know the way!" Bai Suzhen said obediently. She didn't dare to joke about this kind of big thing.

As he spoke, he watched as the ship's crossbows and the small trebuchets were erected.

The Goryeo army, which numbered about 2,000 men, pressed over little by little, drew their bows and arrows and shouted loudly.

The translator Song Jiang found said, "They said that this is their Goryeo land, let us leave." Otherwise, you're going to be rude to us!"

"Tell them that this was originally Baozhou of Liao. Now the Liao State has declared itself a vassal to my Great Song Dynasty, and the removal of the title of emperor is already a number of my Great Song Dynasty. Now that they occupy the land of the Khitan, they occupy the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, let them hurry up and get out of the way for me, or they will kill none of them!"

The translator shouted Song Jiang's words, and sure enough, the angry Goryeo shouted and shot at the boat.

At this time, Wang's Goryeo still had some combat effectiveness, not those tofu soldiers of the Li Dynasty in later generations. There were several wars with the Liao State, and they did not suffer too many losses. Of course, it is true that the Liao State did not send a large army.

Therefore, the rain of arrows shot is still somewhat lethal. Unexpectedly, Song Jiang snorted coldly, and the ship raised its arrow plates one after another, thick wooden planks covered with raw cowhide, which ended and was solid, making Goryeo's arrow rain in vain.

"Kill ......" Song Jiang ordered viciously, and the evil breath in his heart had already been counted on the heads of these Goryeos. The reason why I talked nonsense just now was just to salute first and then soldier.

Anyway, he didn't plan to let the Koreans obediently give up Baozhou City after listening to a few words. If you don't kill all these Koreans, it will be difficult to dispel the hatred in his heart!

The "boom ......" counterweight trebuchet is much more convenient to operate than the previous catapult type, and the power is also more huge.

The black object the size of a human head was smashed down, fell to the ground, and exploded, and all kinds of fragments, stones, and nails contained in it were blown in all directions by the wave of expanding gas generated by the explosion.

For a while, there were bloody human figures everywhere, and after a round of bombardment, hundreds of Goryeo soldiers fell.

Although the power of this gunpowder is not as great as that of explosives, it is unfortunate that this is the era of cold weapons, and the formation of the army is quite dense, and it is simply shoulder to shoulder, so many people will be killed and injured by the explosion.

Although it is not the first time that I have seen the power of this kind of earth-shaking thunder, seeing this kind of flesh-and-blood scene also makes many people feel disgusted.

However, Song Jiang only felt a burst of happiness, if it weren't for these damn Koreans, he wouldn't have been hit by an arrow, let alone killed so many brothers. Of the 3,000 men and horses under his command, less than half of them withdrew to Juehua Island.

If it weren't for the steamer that hurried back at that time, and threw a round of earth-shattering thunder to blow up the Jurchens, he wouldn't have been able to retreat from half of the people.

And now, the situation of these Goryeo people in the event of earth-shaking thunder will not be much better than that of the Jurchens. They were all blown up in this round of explosions, and they even forgot to dodge and escape.

This kind of firearm was originally a sharp weapon for the defense of the city of the Great Song Dynasty, although it was limited to the problem of gunpowder formula in the past, and the power was limited, but now after several twists and turns to study the appropriate gunpowder, the power is much greater.

The gunpowder attacked, the sound was like thunder, the heat reached more than half an acre, the people and cowhides were broken without a trace, and the armor and iron were all penetrated. There are so many fragments added to it, and the power is even greater!

However, before the Koreans could react, the second wave of blows came. This time, it was the poison smoke ball gunpowder, which burned at a relatively low temperature and emitted thick smoke and poisonous gas when burning.

It is mixed with highly toxic botanicals such as grass aconite, croton, wolf venom and arsenic, which is used to kill and injure enemies.

This kind of gunpowder, but it has nothing to do with Wenda Heavenly Master, it was originally one of the three gunpowder recipes recorded in the "Wujing General Essentials", which is not so much gunpowder as a poison gas bomb.

These weapons were originally used during the defense of the city. Throwing it directly from the city is extremely powerful.

But now it has been improved, and with this configuration trebuchet, it can be used as a "shipborne weapon" if it is thrown far away.

With just two blows, the Goryeo soldiers collapsed entirely. Desperately ran out of the poison, some panicked and even jumped into the river.

More than 2,000 Goryeo soldiers and horses didn't even react, and in just a few minutes, they fled back crying and calling their mother.

Song Jiang sneered and gave an order. Groups of soldiers began to disembark and slowly pressed towards Baozhou City.

Baozhou is south of the Yalu River, which is the city of the Liao people's barrier in the east, the south Wei Goryeo, the north defense Jurchen, built very solid.

Song Jiang can also be regarded as an old fighter, first fought for thieves and officials in Liangshan, and also captured the city. He once went down to the southeast with his father to conquer the rebels of Fangla.

At this time, at a glance, it was clear that the defense of Baozhou City was very strong, and it was not easy to capture.

Moreover, these Goryeo defenders seem to be very determined to defend the city, and they are quite well prepared. There were many pots and stoves burning on the castle tower, and some things were boiling in large cauldrons, and a foul smell drifted along the wind. Don't look too much, Song Jiang knows what is boiling in it, it is golden juice!

This kind of thing is very vicious, but it is the feces and urine of people and animals, put it in a large pot and boil it with water. If there is an enemy below, pour it directly on the head, not only will the enemy's hot skin be opened, but the bacteria in the feces will be infected from the burned area...... was poured on, and he definitely couldn't live, and he died extremely miserably.

And there were many bags hanging on the castle towers, and the bags contained soft soil and chaff and the like. However, it is precisely the restraint of the trebuchet, if the cannon stones are shot through, but the impact of the cannon stones is greatly slowed down by these bags, and it is difficult to hurt the defenders above the city.
