Chapter 608: The Blessing of Qi People
(Thanks to the head of Zui Xiaodao for his monthly ticket support! There are only two updates today, thank you for your support!)
Li Jing sent Pei You to take charge of the Fubo Dou Ship to command the entire fleet on his behalf, with Wu Qian as the commander of the front fleet, Zhang Lie and Meng Yang as the deputy general, and Li Xu also sent to command the rear team...
In this operation, in addition to transferring all three of the four wings of the navy, Li Jing also transferred many land troops. In addition to the Liaodong General Yin Gujiao Jie Army and the Jinjia Shengjie Army, there were also Yingyang and Leopard Cavalry Army of Liu Shouqian and Zhang Chengzong. In addition, Wang Chong's Pengyu Army and Wang Pu's Tielin Army were secretly transferred from Dengzhou.
There were 30,000 most elite combat soldiers, 6,000 elite navy troops, and 20,000 four united troops drawn from Dengzhou and Liaodong, plus 30,000 rural soldiers as auxiliary soldiers. This time, 86,000 troops were mobilized. It can be said that Li Jing drew all the troops that could be drawn. On the surface, Jian'an City and Anshi City frequently moved on both sides, but in fact they were just bluffing.
Lin Wu, Zhou Dewei, Liu Shouqian, Zhang Chengzong, Wang Chong, Wang Rong, Pei You and other generals gathered, and Li Jing even transferred all the disciples from the Pingzhou General Selection Army, except Liu Xun. The eleven disciples, except Liu Xun and Li Rang, all the remaining nine should be ordered to come.
A large army of 86,000 was concentrated, nearly half of the generals, and even Li Jing led the army himself, and the movement was so confidential that everyone knew that this would be a war.
The plan to make Li Jing do such a big move is definitely amazing. The last time the coach took action personally, he went around the Tang Dynasty and defeated countless opponents along the way.
Bohai people, Goguryeo and Khitan people.
In Li Jing's heart, these three forces were once the strongest Goguryeo people, then the Bohai people, and finally the Khitan people. But now, the Khitans are the strongest among the three tribes in Li Jing's heart. Even Goguryeo and Zhen [***] have the home advantage, and the Bohai people are at the lowest point.
The Khitans now have a population of at least two million, and twenty units have more than 100,000 combat soldiers, and the auxiliary soldiers can reach at least 300,000 to 400,000 soldiers. It is difficult to kill such powerful forces with one blow. Especially among these three countries, the Bohai and Goguryeo people were both farming countries that built cities and settled. Although the Khitans also began to settle cities, they had just entered this way of settlement. The biggest problem with fighting against such nations is that it is difficult to really kill them. Once the war is defeated, these people will immediately follow the boundless grassland and a long distance are the best defense. With time, they can rekindle and make a comeback.
On the contrary, settlers are easier to deal with. Although the city defense has increased the difficulty, once a city is captured, they will be ruined.
In dealing with the siege of these three kingdoms, Li Jing finally agreed to the advice of the Staff Office, defended the west and attacked the east, and defeated them one by one.
The Khitan is the most difficult to fight, so it should be the weakest Goguryeo people. After all, even if the Goguryeo people are restored, their entire nation will have only about 100,200,000 soldiers. And even if the Bohai Sea is weak, it will have 300,000 to 400,000 troops.
However, Li Jing finally chose to deal with the Bohai Kingdom first. After all, the Bohai Kingdom came from afar. They were not local snakes like the Goguryeo people in Liaodong. Their 50,000 troops seemed powerful, but Li Jing knew that if they could annihilate this army, the Bohai people would be very afraid and withdraw from the alliance of the counter-town [***]. After all, the battle had not yet reached the Bohai Kingdom. They sent troops before, because they felt that they were threatened and able to deal with the Tang army, and they wanted to take the opportunity to regain the Liaodong land. But if they were defeated and were really threatened, with the current situation of being strong and strong abroad in Bohai, Da Xuanxi would most likely not dare to fight again.
Since the Goguryeo people have just restored their country, they will definitely not give in. At this time, fighting with them can only be a long-term battle.
What Li Jing wanted to do was to fight the Bohai people out of this alliance first.
Intelligence detectives during this period of ice age showed that the Bohai people and the Goguryeo people gathered about 80,000 troops in Xiuxian area and stationed in the 28 mountain cities including Niangniangcheng Mountain City. It is extremely difficult to attack the town [***]. However, at the same time, the logistics transportation of the Bohai people was extremely stressful. They mobilized food and grass from the Bohai country and went down the Yahu River. Finally, they protected Yahu River in the three cities of Hushan City, Wugu River Jiankou City, and Yugu River at the mouth of the Yahu River. At the same time, the food and grass were transported in Jiankou City, and then transported north to Phoenix City, and then transported to Niangniangcheng Mountain City and Wuzihe Zhucheng in Xiuxian area.
From Jiankou City to Xiongniangcheng Mountain City, there are two roads, one is along the coast to the mouth of Shaozihe River, and then along the north to Niangniangcheng Mountain City Zhucheng. The other road is along the Wugu River near Jiankou City, to the military city Phoenix City, upstream of Wugu River, and then to the west to Niangniangcheng Mountain City.
The two roads, this road along the coast is smoother, but it is threatened by the Tang army. Although the one who goes north is safer, the journey is difficult and the transportation is inconvenient. The only benefit is that there is a fortress-level city guarding the grain road of Phoenix City, which has a circumference of 16 miles in the middle.
What is even more important is that Li Jing learned that the three cities at the mouth of the Yalu River, Niangniang Mountain City, Jiankou City, and Hushan City each had only 3,000 Bohai defenders. Phoenix City to the north of Wugu City is also the Wugu City, and there were only 5,000 defenders.
When Li Jing got this information, he would not take this opportunity to go around from the sea to the 80,000 enemy troops in Xiuxian to encircle them, and then he would not have to wait.
If such elite troops cannot complete this strategic raid plan, Li Jing will no longer have to stay in Liaodong and can lead troops back to Dengzhou directly if he leads troops to retreat to Dengzhou.
Seven ace army leaders including Wang Pu, Pei You, Lin Wu, Wang Chong, etc., as well as other second- and third-line troops, such as the Unity Army and the Township Army, plus the owners of each wing, Li Jing's Tianlang cabin was gathered in the cabin.
The marching staff officer Li Liang officially announced the combat plan to the generals, and each general came forward to take the orders one by one. The cold wind outside the cabin was howling, the waves were swaying, and the horse lanterns hanging in the cabin were squeaking and shaking. Li Liang was wearing a brocade robe and holding a military order in his hand, talking endlessly.
Li Jing was a little sleepy when he heard this. After finally finishing the military order, Li Jing called nine disciples to his side, "This time I will give you one thousand men and horses each. If you perform well, I will directly promote your military commander."
The fleet set sail, each of them returned to their own ships, and Li Jing also returned to the cabin. The ship's body kept shaking, causing Li Jing's idea of reading the official documents to disappear, and he simply fell asleep in the cabin. When he woke up, it was still dark outside. When he asked the guards outside, he replied that it was already midnight.
Li Jing sat in the cabin but couldn't sleep anymore, so he put on his clothes and patrolled the cabins below. He chatted with the soldiers for a while. When he went back, he pulled Megan and Julie back, who were still very careful.
Although these two women have become close to Li Jing, they have not changed at all from before. Now hundreds of ships are sailing on the sea, which is what makes them most excited.
"You are married to me, not a warship!" Li Jing pulled the two of them back to the cabin and said with a smile.
"You promised us to continue to be in the navy after marrying you." Megan said immediately.
"Do you like the Vermilion Bird armor you gave?" Li Jing changed the topic.
"I like, the Vermilion Bird Armor looks like an iron can. But when I wear it on my body, I find that it is actually lighter than the ordinary Shanwen Iron Armor, and it is covered with all the head, hands and feet. The protection is not weaker than Shanwen Armor. However, it is good to wear in winter and it is quite warm, but in summer, it is probably very stuffy." To Li Jing's expectations, Julie, who has always been cold, opened her mouth first and had a good impression of this armor.
Li Jing smiled and joked that these three sets of armor cost more than 10,000 stag, which is equivalent to the money of building two hundred sets of iron armor. If it is not good, then you can say it. You should know that the steel plate used for the whole body armor alone is the latest type of thousand-hammer steel. Although it looks thinner than the original iron armor, it is stronger. With this new structural style, it seems to be heavier, but when worn on the body, the weight of the armor is shared by the body, and it feels less heavy than before.
"If you two have a baby for me first, I will give this Tianlang to whom!" Li Jing knew that both women love warships, and the two women of his Tianlang were envious of him for a long time. Since this was Li Jing's boat, although the shipyard was able to build such a ship, it did not make such disrespectful requests.
Sure enough, Meghan and Julie's eyes immediately lit up when they heard Li Jing's words.
"Are you serious?" Megan asked excitedly, Julie had already started to untidy her clothes.
"What are you doing?" Megan looked at Julie in surprise. Julie just replied coldly as usual, "I want the Sirius!"
Hearing this explanation, Megan couldn't help but be anxious, "But you can't do this either." However, while protesting against Julie, he also started to take off his clothes.
Li Jing was a little stunned, but he didn't expect that a word would lead to such a result. Seeing that clothes were getting less and less, two wonderful **ts began to appear in front of him, Li Jing couldn't help swallowing. This is a blessing for all people. Although he has ten wives, he has never done such a thing as sleeping together.
Especially Meghan and Julie, one with blonde hair and blue eyes and the other with red hair and blue eyes. When he was on the bed, Meghan was as enthusiastic as fire, while Julie was cold and seductive.
"What are you waiting for!" Megan came up and untied Li Jing's belt.
A moment later, a seductive moan sounded in the cabin.
"Don't call so loudly, it's bad for the guards outside to hear it." Li Jing, who was enjoying the ice and fire, couldn't help but remind him with pleasure. Megan was too wild. After all, he should be low-key when he was in the marching.
"When you have the pleasure, you have to scream. Isn't this what you told me before?" Megan raised his head and moaned loudly, while riding on Li Jing, galloping quickly, and did not forget to take out what Li Jing said to her when she was in the wedding chamber and she came out to block his mouth.
Julie had just made the first appearance in the first round, and now she was having an intermission break, her fingers gently swept across Li Jing's hair, "The guards heard it, and let them go to the plane!"
Hearing Julie and Meghan's words, Li Jing almost surrendered. The two good girls were taught by themselves and shouldn't have told them about these messy things at the beginning.
Chapter completed!
