Chapter 341, Straight to the Hinterland

North Korea is bordered by China to the north, Russia to the northeast, and South Korea to the south by the 38th parallel, a military demarcation line.

North Korea is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and about 80% of its land area is mountainous, and most of its population lives on a narrow plain near the sea to the west.

Situated on the banks of the Yalu River, Sinuiju is the capital of North Pyongan Province and a major border city in North Korea, so if you want to invade Korea, you must first capture Sinuiju Fortress.

After the Korean army was defeated, the defeated troops fled directly into the city of Sinuiju, and after learning of the enemy's large-scale invasion, the defenders of Sinuiju immediately sent fast horses to Pyongyang for help.

......

As for the terrain of North Korea, Ning Yuan has been studying it with his generals for a long time.

The eastern part of Korea is a continuous mountain range, and on the west side of the mountain range there is a narrow plain, and if you push it all the way across the Yalu River, you will encounter a lot of resistance, because there are many places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The main force of the North Korean players is now in South Korea, and the defenses in all areas except Sinuiju are very weak.

Therefore, as long as Ning Yuan can capture Pyongyang before the North Korean players come back, then the richest western plains in North Korea will basically fall into the hands of the Condor Army.

In order to surprise Pyongyang and not give North Korean players a chance to return reinforcements, Ning Yuan and Bai Ze formulated a plan for the battle of the Taedong River.

The ships of the Condor Navy will sail directly from the Yellow Sea into the Taedong River, and then along the Taedong River to the south of Pyongyang.

In addition to the Marines of the Condor Navy, there are also 100,000 Condor Guards who will occupy the entire Taedong River and build positions on the south bank to prevent reinforcements from North Korean players.

With the beginning of the battle to cross the river, the Condor Navy immediately sailed from the Yellow Sea into the waters of Korea.

At the mouth of the Taedong River, the Condor Navy engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the DPRK Navy.

On the surface of the sea, crossbow bolts and boulders were fired from the warships of both sides.

Beneath the surface of the sea, mermaid warriors on both sides engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat.

Soon, the azure waters were dyed bright red, and the surface of the sea was filled with the corpses of merfolk warriors.

Although the North Korea also had mermaid troops, the number of mermaid warriors on their side was too small, and they did not have weapons made of blue iron, so they were quickly defeated.

With the rout of the North Korean merfolk army, their warships began to sink into the sea, and after several hours of stubborn resistance, the Korean navy was finally wiped out, and all the warships were scuttled.

After losing the navy, the North Korean players completely lost the right to control the sea, and Daedong Jiang was like an undefended woman, directly welcoming the Condor Navy into the door.

After discovering the enemy invasion, the North Korean players immediately organized the aborigines of the Pyongyang Plain to enter the cities of Nampo and Pyongyang, and they were ready to hold the cities and wait for reinforcements from the front line.

......

Korea and Korea were also called Goryeo in ancient times, and Goryeo has always been a vassal state of various feudal dynasties in China in ancient times.

Although they often fought for independence, they were soon re-subjugated by the conquests of the ancient Chinese dynasty.

The history of Goryeo is a history of conquest that was bullied back and forth by the ancient Chinese dynasties.

Although they have been bullied by Gu Huaxia and have no strength to fight back, in the process, they still have a very powerful ability, that is, defending the city.

In order to get rid of the fate of being oppressed, they built a lot of fortified cities, and then relied on the fortified cities to resist the ancient Chinese army.

In this game, the history of all play areas is disconnected, and everyone is on the same starting line, so no one is bullying anyone.

But it may be that they are afraid of being oppressed, so North Korean players still bring their ancestral skills into the game.

In order to prevent a repeat of the mistakes of the past, they built castles on some dangerous terrain, and as for the objects of defense, it is self-evident.

In order to prevent being invaded by players in the Huaxia District, the North Korean players built a narrow defense line of five states.

The five cities of Sinuiju, Yanju, Xuanju, Jeongju and Anju protect the rich Pyongyang Plain.

If players in Huaxia want to enter, they must face these five cities directly, and if they can't capture these five cities, they don't want to enter the Pyongyang Plain, otherwise the logistics supply will be cut off.

This land defense line is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the North Korean players ignore the sea route, they did not expect their navy to be so vulnerable.

After losing the right to control the sea, the Condor Army can completely rely on the sea route to transport all kinds of materials to the designated location, and compared with land transportation, sea transportation is faster and more convenient.

After learning that the Condor Navy had occupied the Datong River, Ning Yuan immediately led 200,000 cavalry to Pyongyang City, and he didn't even look at the cities of Yanzhou, Xuanzhou, Dingzhou and Anzhou along the way, and went straight away.

For the cities of Sinuiju, Ningyuan and Baektaek's plan was to besiege but not attack, and the real battlefield in this battle of the peninsula was on the Pyongyang Plain.

Without the rich Pyongyang Plain, the North Korean players will have no logistics base at all, and then they can only watch Ningyuan eat them away little by little.

Ning Yuan dispatched a total of 1.6 million troops this time, of which 900,000 were used to besiege the city, and the only ones who were really used to fight the Korean players were 100,000 Condor Guards, 200,000 cavalry, and 400,000 orcs from the Eaglehoof Kingdom.

He had already made up his mind to use this war to further weaken the Hawkhoof Kingdom, and as long as he could capture the Korean Peninsula, it didn't matter if all the 400,000 orc army was gone.

After the Condor Army captured all the other villages and towns, turning five cities including Sinuiju into isolated cities, the army of 400,000 orcs finally came to Pyongyang.

Facing the tall city of Pyongyang, Ning Yuan did not choose to attack.

Although he didn't feel sorry for the lives of these orcs, good steel had to be used on the blade, and even if these orcs were to die in battle, they had to die worthwhile.

After leaving 100,000 cavalry to besiege the city, Ning Yuan led the remaining 100,000 cavalry and 400,000 orcs army directly to the south bank of the Datong River.

At this time, the reinforcements of the Korean players have returned to the Shariwon, and they are gathering in the Shariwon, preparing to fight to the death with the Condor Army stationed on the south bank of the Taedong River.

However, Ning Yuan was not ready to give them a chance to gather a large army, he led the cavalry regiment, the werewolf legion and the owl legion to kill them directly.

Facing the Condor Army that suddenly came over, the North Korean players were caught off guard, they didn't expect Ning Yuan to be so bold after entering their hinterland.

Their army outside the city of Shariyuan, though more numerous, was routed by the raiding Condor.

Because they were afraid that the Condor Army would attack the city, the guards of the Shari Courtyard did not dare to open the city gate and let the rout troops enter the city.

So in desperation, a large number of aboriginal soldiers chose to surrender.
