The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 557
In the land north of Liaodong, war is imminent!
Wanyan Agu fights in three groups, the first group Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan), Wanyan Zongwang leads Wanyan Xibushi, Wanyan Xieye, and Wanyan Yinshu can intercept Gongsun Kang's reinforcements in Liaodong.

The other two routes are to attack Goguryeo, and what Wanyan Aguda wants to fight is the war of destroying the country!
The second route is Wanyan Zongbi (Jin Wushu) who led Wanyanshou, Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Sagai, Wanyan Zongxian, and Wanyan Xiyin as the commander-in-chief, and went down the Yalu River for the East Route Army. The target and main force converged at Marucheng.

The third route, led by Wanyan Aguda himself, went south from Jilin in later generations to unite with the army of King Goguryeo to attack Wang Jian's lair, Marucheng.

Correspondingly, Wang Jian sent generals Wu Yanchong, Yin Guan, Tuo Junjing and others to the Yalu River to resist Jin Wushu, while Wang Jian himself led an army to resist the coalition forces of King Goguryeo and Wanyan Aguda on the defense line of the mountain city north of Marucheng.

In this context, many cognitions are erroneous. During the Three Kingdoms period, the capital of Koguryo, which is now the inner city (Marucheng) of Wang Jian’s capital of Koryo, thought it was Pyongyang (now called Seoul). This is actually wrong. As mentioned above, it is actually a later generation. Ji'an City.

During this period, Pyongyang was the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the seat of Lelang County in Youzhou was called Joseon City!During the period of Gongsundu, Lelang County was divided into two, and Daifang County was divided into Dafang County (Osan City in later Korea).

At first, Wang Jian didn't believe Jurchen's sentence, "Jurchen is dissatisfied with ten thousand and invincible!" "I want to defeat the Jurchens in the field, but the reality made Wang Jian, the founding emperor of Koryo, know what reality is!"
A charge led to a major defeat, and the main force of Wang Jian cried for his father and mother, and finally retreated to the mountain city defense system of Changbai Mountain (the area around Baishan City in later generations), and this line of defense also defended the frontal battlefield in the north.

As the name suggests, the Mountain City Defense Line is a defense system built on Changbai Mountain, which greatly reduces the impact of Wanyan Aguda's cavalry.

Most of the Korean bows equipped by Wang Jianjun are horn bows. This kind of bow is very famous. After the string is lowered, the bow body bends upward at 190 degrees, which makes it have strong elasticity. In the world, only the Korean horn bows have this kind of bow. Curvature.

The horn bow is made of more than eight kinds of wood, such as bamboo, willow, pine and hagi (huzhizi), and buffalo horns. The production process is also very detailed and complicated, and it takes about three months.

But its bow length is less than one meter, which is very small. It is amazing that it can shoot arrows to more than 600 meters.

According to legend, the power of the horn bow can penetrate armor 500 meters away.

In fact, because the horn bow is a soft bow, and the arrows are made of light bamboo and pheasant feathers, they can shoot far and very fast.

However, the Koryo bow also has a big disadvantage, that is, its power is small.

How small is it?
As small as seventy or eighty steps away, it is very difficult to break through armor, even paper armor and leather armor.

In other words, unless it is shot where there is no armor, it is not fatal.

Of course, this is not completely absolute. If it is replaced with a heavy arrow, its power will be considerable, but in this way, it will not be able to shoot very far.

In short, you can’t have your cake and eat it at the same time. In addition, the Koryo bow has disadvantages such as cumbersome maintenance, poor stability, and poor controllability.

Although this Koryo bow has such and such shortcomings, it happens to hit the 'seven inches' of Wanyan Aguda now!

Because it was introduced earlier that the armor cannot be pierced beyond seventy or eighty steps, but do the current Jurchens have armor?

The answer is obviously no, otherwise Wanyan Aguda wouldn't treat Liu Yu as a guest of honor!
It can be said that the current Jurchens are so poor that they only have their lives left. Although Liu Yu has taken refuge in Wanyan Aguda, how much is the output of the small Xuantu County?
It can be said that the Jurchen army is now not afraid of death and fighting with their lives, but it happened to be baptized by the Koryo bow, because although this kind of bow is small in power, it has a long range. At that time, it was replaced by heavy arrows to kill.

On the frontal battlefield, Wanyan Aguda had no choice but to take down the defense line of the mountain city on Changbai Mountain, and on the side battlefield, Jinwushu also encountered trouble, but the trouble for Jinwushu was not the mountain, but the water!
As mentioned earlier, Wang Jian sent generals Wu Yanchong, Yin Guan, and Tuo Junjing to the Yalu River to resist Jin Wushu. Even if the latter army had a famous general like Wanyan Loushi, and Wanyanshou with a leopard head and tiger eyes, With a nine-eared and eight-ringed sword in his palm, he is a fierce general who is as brave as a man, and there are also resourceful people like Wanyan Zongxian and Wanyan Xiyin.

But there is nothing to do about the Yalu River. Wu Yanchong, Yin Guan, and Tuo Junjing set up a line of defense on the Yalu River, building ships to destroy the pontoon bridge made by Jin Wushu, and let the brave Jurchens fall into the water one by one for the big fat fish .

It can be said that water warfare has always been a headache for the Jurchens. There is no such a big river in the place where they live. Even the Jin Kingdom, which has won half of China's mountains and rivers in later generations, and its powerful army with Jin Wushu, were also defeated by the Song Dynasty. Lu Shuijun hangs and beats, not to mention the Jurchens who have not yet developed.

When both the northern and eastern routes were at a stalemate, Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan) and Wanyan Zongwang on the western route gave people unexpected surprises!
Because Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan) and Wanyan Zongwang, under the leadership of Liu Yu, wiped out the army sent by Gongsun Kang. The generals Liu Yi and Yang Yi under Gongsun Kang's command were all killed, and Liu Yi was even defeated by Wanyan Xi. cut.

Wanyan Xi was brave and good at fighting, he was good at riding and shooting, and his martial arts were top-notch. Liu Yi was beheaded without parrying for ten rounds in his hands.

However, the biggest hero in this battle was not Nianhan, nor Wanyan Zongwang, nor Wanyan Xibushi who killed Liu Yi, but Liu Yu!

Because Gongsun Kang sent Liu Yi and Yang Yi to beat Liu Yu and educate this traitor!

Therefore, Liu Yi and Yang Yi led troops directly from Liaoxi County to the Liaodong Dependent State. Since this place is called the Dependent State, it is the same as the Guanghan Dependent State introduced earlier, and it is an area for the nomadic people attached to the Han Dynasty.

This Liaodong vassal state is the gathering place of the Wuhuan people attached to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and is governed by the local Wuhuan people. After Gongsundu became stronger in Liaodong, this force attached to Gongsundu, but the leader of the Wuhuan people here was persuaded by Liu Yu to join the Jurchens!
After Wanyan Loushi knew about this situation, he directly set up a net in the Liaodong vassal state, waiting for Liu Yi and Yang Yi to throw themselves into the net.

So Liu Yi and Yang Yi entered the land of death without knowing it!

Seeing a sound of arrows, Liu Yi and Yang Yi heard the charging horns of Jurchen cavalry in all directions!

After this unexpected joy, Wanyan Aguda made a decisive decision!
