In order to shirk responsibility, he preemptively filed a complaint, saying:
"Your Majesty, several thousand Jin cavalry are attacking!"
"Our army simply cannot withstand it."
"The intelligence is wrong; the Jin's elite troops still exist."
"They were not annihilated by the Ming Dynasty at all."
"Nonsense!"
The monk Miaoqing was furious: "Even if the main force of the Jin army still exists,"
"How could they possibly deploy thousands of cavalry in Xianzhou?"
"You must be exaggerating the enemy's situation!"
"Your Majesty, there are indeed several thousand cavalry!" Zhao Kuang cried out as he knelt on the ground.
Monk Miaoqing sent someone to inquire about the defeated soldiers.
Opinions varied widely.
Some of the routed soldiers said the enemy numbered in the tens of thousands.
Some of the routed soldiers said the enemy numbered in the thousands.
Some of the fleeing soldiers even said they didn't see it clearly.
When the troops at the front collapsed, they fled with them.
The monk Miaoqing said to Wang Gou, "Your Majesty, there must be a traitor within the country who has leaked information."
"Moreover, it was a high-ranking official in the court who leaked the information."
"Otherwise, our army will launch a northern expedition,"
"The Jurchens mobilized troops and rushed to Xianzhou,"
"It will take at least a month,"
"How could they possibly have set up an ambush right here in Xianzhou?"
Wang Gou also thought it made sense.
He was so angry at those corrupt officials in the court that he trembled all over.
Now, let's talk about Zhao Kuang, who had suffered a defeat.
He was ordered to lead troops to defend Yuanshan City to the death.
Someone suddenly came looking for him at night.
The newcomer was bound hand and foot.
They brought him before Zhao Kuang.
"Where did you come from, a spy?" Zhao Kuang asked.
The man smiled and asked in return, "General Zhao, would you be willing to form a marriage alliance with the Jin family?"
"Oh!"
Zhao Kuang slammed his fist on the table: "So it was the Jin clan colluding with the Jurchens!"
The man then asked, "Would the general be willing to form a marriage alliance with the Jin family?"
Zhao Kuang remained silent for a long time, then slowly raised his head:
"Could she be the daughter of the main branch of the Jin clan?"
The man sneered, "The Kim family are descendants of the Silla royal family."
"The general is able to marry a daughter from a minor branch of the Kim family,"
"That's already considered a blessing from our ancestors."
'Why bother hoping for the head daughter of the Kim clan?'
"What do you want me to do?" Zhao Kuang asked.
The man's smile grew even more smug: "Purge the court of corrupt officials, eliminate the evil spirits surrounding His Majesty!"
Chapter 315 Large Number of Troops
The Jin Kingdom is very busy.
We cannot spare a large number of troops at the moment.
Go attack Goryeo, which betrayed them.
Let's go back to four months before Goryeo's defeat.
The mouth of the Yalu River.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
More than ten Ming Dynasty warships
They bombarded the Jin warships, which were a mile away, with abandon.
These Jin Dynasty warships,
It belongs to Posuk Road.
They usually swim in the Yalu River.
The mission is to defend against Goryeo.
They also wiped out the pirates.
The ruling center of the Possud,
That is, Jiulian Town in Dandong City.
The Jin soldiers stationed here
Half of them were transferred to Huacheng County (Jinzhou).
Be wary of Yelü Yudu and Zhao Li's troops.
"Move closer, board the ship, and seize it!"
Uyanpuluhun roared.
He was the Jin general most skilled in naval warfare.
From Helan Road, which was attacked by Goryeo.
More than thirty small warships of the Jin Dynasty,
They rowed and hoisted the sails, rushing towards the Ming Dynasty's seagoing vessel.
"Boom boom boom!"
Another round of shelling followed.
Four Jin dynasty warships were hit.
The three ships sank rapidly.
A ship that was about to sink but had not yet sunk.
The Jin navy soldiers were terrified.
Uyanpuruhun still ordered the charge.
They had no choice but to grit their teeth and paddle forward.
"Boom boom boom!"
The Ming warships gradually sailed away from the mouth of the Yalu River.
Once the shells were almost fully loaded...
They then turned the ship around and began to fire from the sides.
Three Jin warships were destroyed in this attack.
The Jin Dynasty's navy was in near despair.
Even if they rush in and engage in close-quarters combat...
It was also difficult to climb onto the taller Ming warships.
Moreover, they were constantly being attacked during the charge.
"Deputy Commander, let's retreat! We can't fight anymore!"
His generals pleaded desperately.
Wuyanpuluhun stared blankly at the sea ahead.
He used to be a Jurchen fisherman and pirate.
He could travel freely between the coasts of Korea and Japan.
I've never fought a naval battle like this before.
The cannons on the Ming warships were too cheap.
"withdraw!"
Uyanpuruhun was forced to order a retreat.
They retreated several miles upstream along the Yalu River.
Yingxuan has been transferred from Dongting Lake.
He was specifically assigned to be Li Bao's deputy.
He led several medium-sized ocean-going vessels,
They rushed out from behind Li Bao's large ship.
They gradually approached the dock at the mouth of the Yalu River.
That was the shipbuilding base of the Jin Dynasty.
Although they couldn't build any large ships
But Li Bao, having received intelligence, still came to sabotage the operation.
As for the message provider,
Of course it's Korea!
When Li Bao decided to send troops...
Monk Miaoqing hadn't even left Tokyo yet.
It was even less likely that they would instigate the King of Goryeo to launch a northern expedition.
It was purely because of the place where the Jin Dynasty built its ships.
It is too close to Boju Fortress in Goryeo.
They were worried that after the Jin dynasty built a large number of warships...
This will seriously threaten the security of Baoding.
Therefore, they proactively provided the Ming Dynasty with the specific location of the shipyard.
"put!"
The trebuchet on a medium-sized seagoing vessel
Throwing incendiary bombs at the dock
Then they launched a salvo of rockets at the dock.
A raging fire quickly broke out.
The only remaining coastal shipyard of the Jin Dynasty.
And just like that, a fire burned most of it away.
