Lord of the House

The Koryo king army first envoy Cui Quanchen to supervise Shaocheng, and the Jianshui division used Bailing Mountain and Hajin Island as a fence, considering the threat from the sea to the west wing of Hanyang, the capital of the Koryo capital, in consideration of the Haidong camp army and other troops and horses of the Huaidong army— —

Ye Jibaishi led his troops to aid Goryeo, and mainly stationed an infantry army of 20,000 horses near Shaocheng.

The surrounding islands and reefs of Shaocheng are vertical and horizontal, and most of them are shallow-water silt beaches. Only the middle section of the Hejin Strait, where Flying Bird Mountain and Bailing Mountain face each other on Hejin Island, is a rare deep-water area in the surrounding waters. Cui Quanchen and Ye Ji Baishi regarded this sea area as the outer port of the Goryeo navy in Shaocheng. With Baekling Mountain and Fei Niao Mountain as the core, they dug trenches along the coast, built forts and long walls, and made it a fortress.

Before the Hejin naval battle, Cui Quanchen and Ye Ji Baishi's defense strategy against Bailing Mountain - Hejin Strait - Hejin Island was undoubtedly correct.

The Haidong Camp Army had organized warships to attack the Hejin Strait three times before, and they were all repulsed.

The Goryeo royal court also regarded Bailing Mountain as the "sea-locking defense line" of the Goryeo people. Ye Ji Baishi even planned to extend the defense line to Gimpo, and completely screen the Hanjiang Estuary. Who would have thought of the so-called "solid as gold" line of defense, How could it be called Huaidong's new battleship so easily torn to shreds?

When Bailing Mountain was attacked by artillery, Ye Jibaishi, Cui Quanchen and others fled in a panic. Despite the continuous shelling, Ye Jibaishi was unable to resolutely send reinforcements to Bailing Mountain. It was not until the Huaidong Army tried to land that he dispatched 2,000 troops from Shaocheng to intercept it.

It was not until the Huaidong Army occupied Bailing Mountain and built a heavy artillery position on the northeast side of Bailing Mountain, Ye Jibaishi knew that this was his biggest mistake.

The Koryo Naval Station, which is located on the inner side of the Bailing Mountain Trench, is just within the range of the heavy artillery position at the northeast corner of Bailing Mountain. Since the Haikouzi was blocked by the sunken ship, and the Huaidong gunboats were blocked on the outside, the Korean Navy was in the Bailing Mountain. The more than 250 warships inside the trench have become living targets of Huaidong's heavy artillery.

Ye Jibaishi organized a counter-attack on Bailing Mountain three times, all of which were defeated, and more than 2,000 corpses were abandoned at the foot of the mountain at the foot of Mount Bailing Mountain. It has to be admitted that even if the Huaidong Army did not have weapons such as ambushing fire crossbows, the tight defense was the best in the world. Few can reach it.

If the Bailing Mountain cannot be recaptured, the Huaidong Army's attack on the navy garrison at the Bailing Mountain heavy artillery position cannot be interrupted. After two days of continuous artillery shelling, there is no one in the Bailing Trench that is still intact. The undamaged Goryeo warship.

From April 6th, the Huaidong Army organized manpower and began to clean up the sunken ship on Haikouzi.

He was still at a loss for what to do with Huaidong's heavy artillery, and could not think of a strong countermeasure. Seeing that the Huaidong battleship was about to enter the Bailing Trench, Cui Quanchen could only reluctantly scuttled all the remaining battleships and took the abandoned ship with him. The Goryeo navy generals who went ashore followed Ye Jibaishi to abandon Shaocheng County and retreated eastwards into Guiyang Mountain and Mani Mountain.

Shaocheng County is too close to the Bailing Trench, and is within the attack range of the Huaidong warship's guns with more intensive firepower. It may prevent the Huaidong Army from advancing further.

Ye Jibaishi's eye sockets were deeply sunken, his beard and hair were messy, and his pupils were bloodshot.

Ye Jibaishi stood on the top of Mount Mani and looked out at Shaocheng County, which was more than ten miles away. Cui Quanchen, who was also haggard and exhausted, was standing beside Ye Jibaishi. Digging a moat on the east side, he said, "It seems that the Huaidong Army has no intention of going east, rushing, or advancing Hanyang in a short period of time..."

Shaocheng is the western gateway to Hanyang, the capital of Korea. It is only 120 miles from Hanyang to the east. Shaocheng, which was stationed with 30,000 troops, was easily lost. There are many more, and the entire army was so easily wiped out-the degree of shock to the royal court of Goryeo and the dignitaries of Hanyang City can be imagined.

State Minister Zuo Jing urgently dispatched 10,000 reinforcements from Hanyang to strengthen the defenses of Guiyang Mountain and Mani Mountain.

Cui Quanchen knew that all this was a futile struggle. Even if they could barely hold the front lines of Guiyang Mountain and Mani Mountain, the elite main force of the Huaidong Army would advance to within a hundred miles of the country—hundreds of miles away. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on the Asan defense line learned this news, what morale did they have to fight Zhen's Haiyang rebels to the death?

Once the Asan defense line is defeated and penetrated by the Haiyang rebels, the old thief Zhen Feng leads a 100,000 Haiyang army to attack Hanyang from the south, forming a pincer attack with the Huaidong army, how much room do they have to struggle?

Cui Quanchen looked exhausted at the Goryeo soldiers behind him, and had no time to think about whether his second son, Cui He, was alive or dead on Hejin Island. They lost the courage to fight against them in their hearts - at this time, the Huaidong Army stopped in Shaocheng and no longer advanced eastward, which undoubtedly allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief at the key point.

Even in the future, even in the future - Cui Quanchen can't control so much.

The Huaidong Army stopped in Shaocheng and did not advance eastward, which gave Cui Quanchen and other Goryeo generals a sigh of relief, but made Ye Jibaishi's heart cloud more dense.

After taking Shaocheng, the Huaidong Army has no intention of attacking Hanyang immediately, which means that the Huaidong Army will probably concentrate on attacking the sea-locking defense line in the future. The Goryeo Naval Division of the city was routed to remove the threat from the flanks and rear; although the threat seemed so insignificant, the order of troops could not be reversed.

In the past few days, Ye Jibaishi has sent dead soldiers to infiltrate Hejin Island several times, only to see that the Huaidong Army who occupied Hejin Island is stepping up to drive prisoners of war to build a temporary berth at the northern foot of Asuka Mountain. A temporary garrison, which can be called the Haidong Camp Army Navy, to increase the attack capability of the sea-locked defense line.

Ye Jibaishi really doesn't know how many days the sea-locking defense line he once thought was impregnable under the attack of Huaidong's new warships?

Ye Ji Baishi dragged his tired body and walked back to the tent that was temporarily erected behind the cliff.

Inside the tent, several painters were using charcoal pens to faithfully draw the fire crossbow and the fire of the fire crossbow on the white paper. There were also several solid iron bullets charred by the gunpowder on the long table. As well as lead shots that can do great damage at close range.

Ye Jibaishi would not believe in the myth of gods and ghosts. There is no difference in essence between the fire-breathing crossbow and the fire-breathing crossbow, but the Huaidong fire-breathing crossbow has a terrifying range and terrifying power.

If there were only one or two of these weapons, it would still not change the situation on the battlefield. However, a new warship in Huaidong is equipped with hundreds of these weapons at most. The tactical advantage formed on the local battlefield is not manpower. can be reversed.

Goryeo's navy in Shaocheng was wiped out, and it couldn't hurt Huaidong's new battleship in the slightest, which is the proof.

Ye Jibaishi could not have imagined such a restraining fire crossbow in Huaidong for a while, but he also wanted to record the more detailed and more realistic situation of the fire crossbow he had seen in the past few days, and handed it to Yanjing, okay. Let the clansmen take some precautions and not be too caught off guard.

However, the most troublesome problem for Ye Jibaishi at the moment is that the sea route has been completely blocked by the Huaidong battleship.

The Hanyang side disagreed and was reluctant to send only a few large warships to force Huaidong to blockade in the Hanjiang Bay; it was difficult for small fishing boats to confirm the direction in the vast sea, and even if there was a chance to escape from the blockade, it would not be possible in time. Sending the information to Dengzhou and Yanjing - and by land, it will take at least half a month before the information can be delivered to Yanjing.

Half a month, is there enough time?

********************

The fundamental purpose of the Shaocheng raid was to relieve the flank threat of the Goryeo Navy in one fell swoop.

Occupied Hajin Island, Baekling Mountain and Shaocheng, wiped out all the naval forces of Goryeo in Shaocheng, captured tens of thousands of enemy soldiers before and after, and forced the King of Goryeo to sink their ships and declare themselves the Han River. Even if the goal is perfect.

Ma Yigong took over the garrison of Hejin Island, Baekling Mountain and Shaocheng, and was responsible for deploying to the north wing, controlling Gimpo and the islands of Ganghwa around Gimpo, completely blocking Hanjiang Bay, and threatening Hanyang from the west wing. , Yang Shi, Ge Yuan, Li Baidao and other generals led the 1st Task Force and the 1st Brigade of the Denghai Town Division to retreat to the northern foot of Asuka Mountain on Hejin Island for a short period of rest and ammunition supply.

Luo Wenhu stood on the temporary harbor at the foot of Fei Niao Mountain, looking at the Lin Zhengjun-class battleship temporarily berthed in the sea outside the harbor. The first sequence of the main battleship of the class, the battleship is majestic and broad, and the thick iron chain is connected with the iron anchor weighing several thousand pounds into the sea, and the ship is anchored by pulling it. The military potential of Huaidong is in this ship such as It is perfectly reflected on the giant battleship.

Not to mention other technologies on this warship, it is an iron anchor weighing four or five thousand catties, and it cannot be easily cast by other forces.

"It's a pity, but I didn't see this super giant ship showing its power..."

Luo Wenhu turned and saw that the brigade commander He Zongliang was approaching, and he also sighed at the Lin Zhengjun-class sea-going ship moored outside the port.

The Hajin Strait has only a very narrow channel that can accommodate the Limjeongjun-class warships with a draft of six meters to enter. Just waiting for the waterway to be measured, the Hajin naval battle ended with the destruction of the entire army of Goryeo's navy in Shaocheng; The power of the four-jin heavy artillery has been reflected in the shelling of Bailing Mountain on Bailing Trench.

"Ma Shuai called you over, did you ask for a reply from the military?" Luo Wenhu asked He Zongliang.

As the main force defending Bailing Mountain and defeating the enemy's counterattack, He Zongliang's troops suffered a certain number of casualties. After the main force of the Haidong camp army completely controlled Shaocheng, He Zongliang's troops retreated to Hejin Island to rest - but obviously , He Zongliang and other generals have no intention of resting, and Bailing Mountain can't let them go into hiding at all.

At present, the military instructs the Haidong camp army to consolidate the defense of Shaocheng~www.wuxiaspot.com~ has no intention of making the Haidong camp army expand its troops to the east and attack Hanyang-the generals who do not want to miss the Northern Expedition are naturally invited to fight one after another. It is required to fight across the sea with the task force, and do not want to wait and miss the plane on the Goryeo battlefield.

"It's not that simple," said He Zongliang, who was from Huai Si Liushuai, who was quite close to Luo Wenhu. "The military has asked us to formulate a more detailed plan. We are worried that the excessive extraction of troops from the Haidong camp will cause the defense of Shaocheng to be empty. Give Koryo Wangjun and Ye Ji Baishi a chance to fight back - Grandma's, Koryo Wangjun and Ye Ji Baishi have both been beaten, how can they fight back? I think the people from Haeju are not authentic and want to expedition to the north All the credit is swallowed up..."

"Ye Jibaishi has 20,000 horse infantry elites trapped in Goryeo, is it not enough for you?" Chen Enze walked over and retorted with a smile after hearing He Zongliang's frustration in asking for battle, and then said to Luo Wenhu, "The military requires Cui He was escorted to Haizhou, and he also asked a staff officer from here to go to Haizhou to explain the division plan of the Haidong camp; if you are ready, you will send a ship to Haizhou before dark..."

"You bastard," He Zongliang punched Luo Wenhu enviously and said, "If you go to Haizhou, try to find a way not to come back in a hurry, maybe there is a chance to go directly to Jinhai - recover Yanjing, how much is the world? The man wants to experience that moment, but he wants you to have a chance to catch up!"

"To **** Duhe to Haizhou, is the military not planning to fight a big battle in Goryeo?" Luo Wenhu asked suspiciously.

"Well," Chen Enze nodded and said, "Is there a possibility..."

Cui He is the second son of Cui Quanchen and the defender of Hejin Island. Two days after the fortress of Asuka Mountain was bombarded, he saw that there was no hope of breaking through the encirclement, and he led the remnants to surrender. At this time, the military requested that Cui He be taken to Haizhou. He probably won't be caught and punished. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
