Chapter 558: Dispatch of Troops
Just when Shang Ji was in full swing to make the final preparations for the conquest, Park Eun's envoy Kim Moo-sung came again, and at the same time brought Park Eun's decision - Gao Yeonyou would send it within five days, but the Joseon Dynasty was financially tight and could not afford to come up with 50 million gold at once. Jin Wucheng asked for payment in batches, and said that the first batch of 500,000 gold would arrive in Xiangping City in three days.
After that, 1,000,000 gold will be paid every month until all 50,000,000 gold is paid. For this reason, the DPRK is willing to pay an additional interest of five million gold, hoping that Shang Ji will allow it!
Shang Ji very generously agreed to Jin Wucheng's request, and suddenly Pingzhou and North Korea seemed to have become close allies!
The actions of the soldiers who were not enough were not affected in the slightest, the army should be assembled and assembled, and the generals should be drawn and transferred.
And according to the joint battle report sent by Yan Huang and Qianhuan, Pu Yin did not fall into Shang Ji's simple trap. A million Korean troops are rushing to the city at the speed of a rapid march.
Obviously, there are not so many fools in the world, and Pu Yin doesn't believe that Shang Ji will agree to talk about it so easily!
Three days later, the main army of 400,000 marched south to Jinjin under the personal leadership of Shang Ji, intending to take a naval warship here, land directly on the border between China and North Korea, and then fly to the Dragon's Throat Grand Canyon!
The Pingzhou army originally had 1.5 million war troops, and the previous three-way army conquered Goguryeo and took away 700,000, and this time Shang Ji took away 400,000, and now there are only 400,000 war troops left in Pingzhou, and the defense has become relatively empty.
However, Shang Ji was not worried about the rear, there were still 1.8 million guards in Pingzhou that could be mobilized, and at the same time, there were millions of third-order villagers distributed in the land of Pingzhou.
Once needed in wartime, it is completely possible to organize another 5 million reserve army, and the current Pingzhou can already be regarded as a great cause, even if the entire Shang army is wiped out this time, it will not be able to shake the foundation of Pingzhou.
At the same time that Shang Ji led the army south, he gave orders to Zhao Yun of Lelang and Su Huan of Xuansu to lead the guards of the two counties to support Zhang He.
At this time, Gongsun Du had already led the troops to join Tai Shi Ci, and the city of Marudu faced an army of nearly one million elites, and in addition to the unfavorable news that the city was broken in the country and Gao Yanyou fled, the defenders in the city were very neat and easy to open the city!
At this point, only the main fortress occupied by the Joseon army remained in the entire Goguryeo important city.
After occupying the city of Marudu, Tai Shici negotiated with Gongsun Du and left 200,000 troops to Gongsun Du to let him guard the city of Marudu. Tai Shi Ci led the remaining more than 700,000 troops to support Zhang He!
Liu Yi also received an order to hand over the domestic city to Xu Huang to guard, and then drew out 100,000 elites, gathered 400,000 Goguryeo servants, and hurriedly supported Zhang He.
Park Eun is not blind, and it is impossible not to detect this series of big moves. The million-strong army of the North Korean army suddenly accelerated and crossed the Sino-Korean border in a rapid march.
At the same time, the 200,000 vanguard troops marched lightly and lightly, and in two days they broke through more than 3,000 miles and successfully joined forces with the 100,000 Korean troops in the city. The strength of the defenders in the city has been greatly increased.
Because the strategic goal of the Pingzhou Army was to swallow all the millions of Korean troops in one go, Shang Ji specially ordered Zhang He not to be in a hurry and let all the Korean troops in.
Jinjin, the home port of Pingzhou Sailor.
Countless ships anchored silently in the harbor, waiting for their masters to review them.
The huge ships are lined up, and you can't see the edge at a glance. Xi Zhicai, who saw this kind of scene for the first time, was obviously very shocked, looking at the huge ship covering the sky, speechless for a long time.
"General, how many warships do we have in Pingzhou?"
Shang Ji smiled and said to Ling Cao next to him: "Degao, introduce the strength of our army's naval division to the military division!" ”
The sailor even kept it secret from most of the generals inside Pingzhou, but Xi Zhicai had a special identity, somewhat similar to the chief of general staff in later generations. The Chief of the General Staff does not know how many troops can be mobilized under his command, so it will be a joke!
"Lord, military advisor!" Ling Cao saluted the two of them and said proudly: "My Pingzhou Navy Division has a total of 310,000 soldiers, of which 160,000 are boat troops who are responsible for operating warships full-time.
There are also 100,000 scaly sailors, who are responsible for protecting various ports, while taking care of battles such as gang jumping and stringing.
The last 50,000 troops were responsible for raiding and destroying enemy ports and cities. Among them were 40,000 scaly sailors who had received rigorous land combat training and 10,000 sailing troops! ”
After speaking, Ling Cao glanced at Gan Ning next to him and added, "These 50,000 troops are led by General Xingba!" ”
"What about the battleship? Although I am a layman in naval warfare, I also know that the most important thing in naval combat is the battleship, what is the situation of our warship? ”
Xi Zhicai ignored the small problem of Ling Cao and Gan Ning, which was not something he should worry about, and instead focused on the Sailor Battleship.
"Back to the military division, at present, our army has more than 500 warships of various types, including 360 warships of all levels, 168 fighting ships of all levels, 61 ships of all levels, and 8 building ships of all levels, of which one is a giant building ship of the Yulang type built according to the drawings provided by Mr. Gongyu!"
"Resisting the waves? Isn't that one? ”
Xi Zhicai's eyes narrowed, and he pointed to a super giant ship like a mountain in the distance and asked.
"The military advisor has a discerning eye, and that ship is the Yu Lang. The length of the waves is 460 zhang, the width is 82 zhang, the full load of 8,600 soldiers, the ship carries 200 bursting torch stone carts, 500 giant bursting wave crossbows, and the longest attack range is as high as 3,000 zhang. The battleship has ironwood armor, which is enough to withstand the close attack of large siege equipment such as torch stone carts, and is the strongest battleship that the last general knows!
After thinking about it slightly, Xi Zhicai, who had no experience in naval warfare, still couldn't understand how strong the wave-resisting building ship was. Glancing at the large building ship that was several laps smaller than Yu Lang, Xi Zhicai smiled slightly: "General Ling, I can say that I don't know anything about naval warfare. Please forgive me for asking a simple question, can this Yulang fight against ordinary building ships in one dozen or three? ”
"No problem, if you command it properly, let alone one hit three, even one hit five won't be a problem!" Ling Cao straightened his chest and replied confidently.
"Okay, I see!" Xi Zhicai nodded, and had a general understanding of the Pingzhou Military Naval Division in his heart.
"Degao, is the sailor ready?" Seeing that Xi Zhicai had finished asking, Shang Ji spoke.
Ling Cao looked excited, and held his head high: "Lord Qiqi, as early as after receiving the order of the lord, it has been prepared, and the 300,000 soldiers of the Pingzhou Navy Division will listen to the orders of the lord at any time!" ”
"Good! Arrange for the soldiers to board the ship! Let's set sail!! ”
After speaking, Shang Ji waved his hand, and the army that had been waiting in the port slowly stepped forward and boarded the ship in an orderly manner under the guidance of the sailors and soldiers.
Because of the existence of the Qiankun Ring, Shang Ji never had to worry about logistics when he went on the expedition, so this time he only needed to transport the soldiers themselves.
More than 200 junk ships of all levels are enough to transport 400,000 officers and men of the Pingzhou Army to their destination at one time.
Eight ships, 50 ships, and half of the fighting ships, including the Yulang Building, were dispatched at the same time to escort the army and ensure the navigation safety of the soldiers.
After completing the escort mission, these main warships will not return home, but will directly intrude into North Korean waters, sail along the coastline, and harass North Korean waters.
If you have the opportunity, you don't mind leading the troops to land directly and looting them!
The strength of the Korean naval division was relatively weak, and the Jeolla Provincial naval division led by Yi Sunsin was worthy of a battle, but Li Bu obviously would not send the most valuable naval division in his hands to fight Shang Ji for the sake of rebellion in his eyes.
In addition, to put it mildly, even if Li Bu is crazy and lets Li Sunsin go all out, he is not the opponent of the Pingzhou Sailor!
On land, Pu Yin may still be able to compete with the Pingzhou army, but at sea he is unilaterally beaten!
Three hours later, all the 400,000 officers and men of the Pingzhou Army boarded the ship, and 400 warships, large and small, sailed to the sea.
At a glance, the entire sea is full of warships of the Pingzhou Army, stretching for hundreds of miles in front and back!
Although Shang Ji is at sea, there is a communication stone, which does not affect his control of the overall situation.
According to the latest information, the North Korean army has all passed through the Dragon's Throat Gorge. And this strategic place will naturally not be ignored in the eyes of Park Yin.
The North Korean army left 100,000 elite troops to guard the Dragon's Throat Gorge.
At the same time, according to the news of Qianhuan, Park Eun ordered the Korean army to build a city in the Dragon's Throat Canyon in full swing, in an attempt to permanently control this strategic artery.
While Shang Ji galloped on the sea, Liu Yi, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Su Huan and others also led troops to arrive, and the entire Goguryeo was heavily armed, and there were 1.5 million regular Pingzhou troops on the Pingzhou side, 400,000 Goguryeo servant troops, and about 200,000 rangers and aliens.
Originally, there weren't so many, and the total number of player rangers who were active on the Goguryeo battlefield didn't add up to 50,000. However, after learning the news of the North Korean army crossing the border, the players in Huaxia District immediately exploded. Countless scattered players and small groups have traveled thousands of miles to Goguryeo in an attempt to teach these northern sticks a lesson!
And this number is still rising, but the Pingzhou army's control over this force is much weaker. They can only be guided through missions, and it is impossible to command the player's Ranger group like an army.
Even in Shang Ji's battle plan, he didn't dare to use them as normal forces, it was too uncontrollable for the Inhuman Ranger group!
"Compared to the Pyongju side, North Korea has a disadvantage in terms of military strength. The Korean army was 1 million, and the Goguryeo army led by Gao Yanyou was not willing to be ruled by the Shang Ji with more than 600,000 troops.
Purely comparing the strength, the Gao Dynasty coalition army seems to be weaker, but don't forget that they are the defenders of the city, and there are strong cities to use.
Moreover, the battlefield is closer to North Korea, and the Dragon's Throat Gorge is controlled by Park Eun, and the North Korean side can send troops to support at any time.
According to the latest information sent by Li Rui, Park Eun also seems to have been frightened by Shang Ji's big move, and is carrying out a new mobilization, trying to send additional troops to support the city again.
However, there is still South Korea, a sworn enemy, on the Korean Peninsula, staring at it, and Park Eun can't draw too many troops for a while. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Online Game Zhige Three Kingdoms Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
