Lord of the House: Chapter 32 Array of Butterfly Wings

Tsushima Island is located at the east mouth of the Koryo Strait, only a hundred miles away from the south coast of Shannan County. Tsushima Island has always been the southeastern gateway to Goryeo since the Jong clan was attached to Goryeo sixty years ago.

Compared with Danluo Island located at the west entrance of the Koryo Strait, Tsushima Island directly separates Koryo from Kyushu Island and Honshu Island in Fusang. In the eyes of Koreans, the strategic position of Tsushima Island is much more important.

Nahe Azige ran in and said that the Saga clan and Da Kou Chi Zhou allied forces to capture Tsushima Island. Qin Zitan was shocked when the pen slipped from his hand, splashing half of the ink on Qingpao, and he hurriedly removed the pen from the brick. Picked it up on the ground and asked Aziger, "Is the news true?"

Qin Zitan only felt his fingers go numb, and the news surprised him too much. This means that both the Saga clan and the Da Kou Chi Zhou have allied with the Huaidong Army, so they will choose this opportunity to declare war on Goryeo in the form of capturing Tsushima Island!

Qin Zitan would not be surprised that Chi Zhou, a big robber who was entrenched in the five southern islands, asked the Huaidong Army for security. Let's cool down, how could he change his attitude and make peace and collude with the Huaidong Army?

Qin Zitan subconsciously doubted the correctness of the source, and suspected that the Huaidong Army was using the deadly time to spread false news!

"The Prime Minister of Koryo sent a ship from Uiju to deliver the urgent letter, afraid that it would be intercepted by the Huaidong warship, so he sent three groups of people to deliver the letter! The three groups of people have successfully crossed the sea," Azige said, "It seems Kinohara A battle is a must.”

Lin Fu assigned Matsuura, Hirado, Nanwu Island and other places to the supervision of the Danluo Kingdom, and established the Dongzhou Governor's Office. When the custodial policy was officially implemented in the Haidong area, Qin Zitan had already taken the road from Benzhou Island with the luxury flying tiger. , crossed the sea and arrived in Goryeo.

In order to ensure that the combined forces of Chi Zhou and the Saga clan could carry out a sudden attack on Tsushima, whether it was the Huaidong Army, Chi Zhou, Yang or the Saga clan, they strictly controlled the leakage of information.

Whether it was Qin Zitan, Ajige, or Gao Lijun and generals, it was normal that they couldn't get the news in time across the vast ocean hundreds of miles away.

Qin Zitan hurriedly took another topographic map of Haidong from the pile of books and slips, and spread it out on the bookcase.

This is the military map of the military division of Haiyang County. It is relatively accurate. Tsushima Island, Danluo Island, and the large islands such as Iki Island, Hirado Island, and Goto Islands in the northern part of Kyushu Island are marked.

The Saga clan and Chi Zhou joined forces to capture Tsushima Island and declare war on Goryeo, which was undoubtedly a blow to the head.

The Huaidong Army forcibly cut off Matsuura and Hirado from the Saga clan, but Qin Zitan had deduced the situation of the conflict between the Saga clan and the Huaidong army, and was quite clear about the strength of the Saga clan.

There are about 2,000 elite samurai under the Saga clan, and they can mobilize the civilians under their control. In a short period of time, the army can be expanded to the limit of about 15,000 people.

The Saga clan's foot soldiers were strong, but the navy was weak, and they were suppressed by the Ping clan and the Kingo clan on land. It was not enough to cross the sea to attack Tsushima Island. Chi Zhou's troops just made up for this shortcoming of the Saga clan. .

"The Huaidong Army actually used Tsushima to reduce the resentment of the Saga clan!" Qin Zitan felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Qin Zitan is always self-inflicted, but since confronting Huaidong, he has often caused chaos to Huaidong's unexpected coup, making it difficult for him to maintain his former self-confidence.

The Saga clan captured Tsushima Island, and between Tsushima Island and Kyushu Island, the pirate forces occupying islands such as Iki Island, Okinoshima, and Chikushima had no choice. Either surrender, or leave the Haidong area and make a living, or wait to be wiped out.

If these islands and Tsushima were all assigned to the Saga clan, they would almost be able to mortgage the losses of the Saga clan to cede the territory of Matsuura and Hirado. The basis of ah!

For Goryeo, if Tsushima was lost, it would be difficult for the Saga clan to gain a firm foothold on the island if they could not organize a reaction immediately.

In addition, Chi Zhou and the Saga clan occupied Tsushima Island, which was only a hundred miles away from Shannan County and more than 200 miles away from the southeast corner of Haiyang County. Not only does this mean that the Goryeo mainland will be harassed by pirates, but it also means that the Huaidong Army has an additional maritime force that can block the sea between Haiyang County and Danluo Island.

If the pirate forces between Tsushima and Kyushu Island enlist the Chihou or the Saga clan on a large scale, the Koreans will have to bear greater risks and losses if they want to send food and grass supplies from Haeyang County to Seogwipo. .

The Kinohara battle is imperative.

Neither the Goryeo nor the Huaidong Army Division will let the war on Danluo Island be delayed, and a decisive battle in Xiyeyuan is the best choice for each other.

In any case, the Koreans have to fight from Seogwipo Castle first.

The Goryeo Navy, which had assembled in Haeyang, had lost more than one-third of its troops and many more warships.

If more than 15,000 Goryeo soldiers were always trapped in Seogwipo City and could not get out, it would be easier for the Huaidong Water Camp to cut off the fixed point-to-point supply route due to the limited ability of the navy to guard. Lack of food led to a great collapse.

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

The wind blowing in Seogwipo in the early morning was still chilling to the bone, and the heavy iron-clad gate with copper nails rattled open, and teams of Goryeo soldiers in red and red armor filed out from the gate of the city. Duan shield raised his gun, reflecting the warm rays of the morning sun, as if it were sparkling waves.

From the east gate of Seogwipo City to Xiyeyuan, you have to pass through a narrow bottle-shaped section, and then cross the Baeklu River, you will find Xiyeyuan with open terrain. .

Even if Lin Fu was supposed to use the water camp to defend Jeju City, and the horse infantry troops from Huaidong and Danluo were transferred to fight in Xiyeyuan, there would be only 9,000 people at most. As long as the Koreans can seize Xiyeyuan first and set up a battle, they can limit the Huaidong and Danlu coalition forces to expand their forces.

The first step is to fight for Kinohara. Maybe the moment the army sets foot on Kinohara, the battle will be officially launched.

Qin Zitan followed Azige's Donghu team. They moved to the southeast corner of Seogwipo City and were responsible for occupying a small hill in the southeast corner to prevent the Huaidong Army from detouring from Heiyan Mountain and attacking the Dongcheng Gate. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can clearly see that the Bailuo River in front of you is like a plain white ribbon, lying on the western edge of Xiyeyuan.

Behind the Bailuo River were the interception troops of the Danluo King's army. The banners were the first and second battalions led by the prince of the Danluo king. Although there were six battalions in the city of Danluo, there were more than a thousand soldiers in these two battalions.

The ice layer of Bailuo River has melted, but the river is still shallow, and the river surface is only five or six feet wide. It is not a natural danger that can be defended. The Koreans began to use knives and guns to force the Danla civilians in Seogwipo City out of the city, forcing them to take soil to fill the Baeklu River and fill in the passage of troops.

These civilians are adults, but more are the old and the weak, women and children.

The Danla king's army had many family members of old soldiers. Because they didn't have time to escape, they were trapped in the city. At this time, they were expelled, and the Goryeo soldiers held spears and spears behind them, and they were forced to borrow soil to fill the river.

The beating drums are heart-wrenching. The veterans of the Danla King's Army cannot disobey the military orders, and they can't bear to shoot arrows at their relatives. They all raise their arrows up, wanting to throw them to kill Goryeo, who is coercing with a knife behind his back. Soldiers.

No matter how good a crossbow is, its range is limited. Countless arrows shot obliquely in the air, and then slanted down, falling behind the civilian queue. Miserable and desperate howls filled the battlefield.

The civilians who were bound by the threat saw that the arrows were all shot into the air. One person took the lead, and countless others followed, rushing down the cold Bailuo River and wading to the east bank to escape. Thousands of Koryo bowmen followed, shooting arrows in a riotous shower, and hundreds of civilians were shot and killed on the riverbanks and valleys. Some didn't die on the spot, moaning and wailing, or struggling on the beach, or trying to get their heads above the water in the cold water.

The breath of death filled the air, the Bailuo River was also dyed into a sea of ​​blood, and the river was blocked by two or three hundred corpses. It can be considered that the Koreans planned to fill the river with corpses from the beginning.

The generals of the king's army of Danlu saw their eyes split open and shouted loudly. Some even ignored military discipline and could not contain their rage. They tried to rush to the river to stop the massacre of the Koreans, but they were all shot and killed. in the valley.

More civilians fled to the east bank to disperse the formations of the Danla king's army.

Although it was separated by a Bailuo River, due to the close-range shooting of the Goryeo bows and crossbows, the Danla king's army suffered great casualties. Adjust the formation.

The bowmen occupied the west bank and shot against the king's army of Danla. The Goryeo swordsmen and spearmen took shields to cover, and filled the corpses on the beach together with the soil into the Bailuo River, which could not be submerged in the waist. Twenty zhang sent troops to the channel.

The soldiers of Haiyang County were trapped in Seogwipo City for more than two months. When the reinforcements came, their morale soared. Before that, they were very suffocated. At the moment, they shouted and crossed the Bailuo River. group.

Crossing the Bailuo River is Xiyeyuan, and the Koreans have sufficient troops. Pushing the front line to the east, the terrain will be wider and more troops can be thrown into it. The Danluo king's army only invested two battalions on the east bank of the Bailuo River. By noon, the battle was gradually unable to resist. A group of armored soldiers came out from Bainiao Village and approached the battlefield from the northeast. The Danluo king's army used Gaoli soldiers to withdraw After the opportunity to rectify, go south and withdraw from the battlefield...

Qin Zitan and Azige rushed to the west bank of the Bailuo River, and Gaoli soldiers were marching across the river in groups.

In order to strengthen his determination to fight against the Huaidong and Danluo coalition forces, Zhen Feng set up his Chinese army camp on the low **** on the east bank of the Bailuo River.

Huaidong and Danluo allied forces withdrew into the two camps of Heiyan Mountain and Bainiaozhai with three or four hundred casualties after fierce resistance before noon.

The Goryeo soldiers were also centered on the camp of the Central Army on the east bank of the Bailuo River. Six thousand troops were placed on the left wing, facing the direction of Bainiaozhai, and four thousand troops were placed on the right wing, facing Heiyan Mountain. Zhen Feng put 10,000 troops in Xiyeyuan on the east bank of the Bailuo River in one fell swoop~www.mtlnovel.com~ and the focus of the deployment of troops was on the left flank. In addition, there are three thousand troops deployed in the West Bank, which can be regarded as the reserve force mastered by the Chinese army. Only 2,000 soldiers remained in Seogwipo Fortress.

This is Goryeo's classic battle formation, the Butterfly Wing Formation. The ancestors of the Goryeo Dynasty used this kind of infantry formation to drive the Donghu people to the north of the Cheongcheon River. Qin Zitan studied Gaoli's classics and knew about the formation of Butterfly Wings. Zhen Feng was originally a veteran of Gao Li, and he was also a descendant of the royal family of Gao Li.

However, Zhen Feng focused his troops on the left wing to deal with the White Bird Village. Qin Zitan was a little puzzled, but Zhen Feng was arranging war with the Gaoli generals, so it was inconvenient for him to disturb him.

Ajige was puzzled after reading it, and he and Qin Zitan discussed softly on the side: "Zhen Feng wants to unplug the White Bird Village first?"

Qin Zitan pondered for a while, and speculated: "Lin Fu should be able to get the news that the Saga clan and Chi Zhou joined forces to take down Tsushima Island in advance. Xiyeyuan and Goryeo fought to the death. Lin Bie kept the White Bird Village, and during the battle, he could send troops from the left flank to contain the Goryeo people. On the surface, the deployment of the Huaidong and Danlu coalition forces in Heiyan Mountain and the White Bird Village should be based on black Yanshan is the main force and Bainiao Village is the supplement, but he may not be sure that he plans to go the wrong way and change the Baidao Village as the main force and Heiyan Mountain as the supplement. Zhen Feng deploys troops like this, he is also considered an old man!"

"No matter what Lin Fu does, the soldiers he can fight are only four or five thousand soldiers brought from Huaidong. The two battalions of King Danluo's army, which are capable of fighting, were just withdrawn to the camp in Heiyan Mountain. Naturally, the troops guarding Heiyan Mountain will not be weak. No matter how Lin Fu can strengthen the defenders of White Bird Village, there is a limit," Azige said. ." My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
