Chapter 1772 An enemy comes from the sea

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Weng moved to the city (today's Wengjin area in North Korea).

    Seoul (Goguryeo Seoul, there were multiple Seoul cities in Korean history, with different addresses. The current Seoul city was called Bukhansanseong (called by Silla) and Weiryeongseong (called by Baekje)) in the southwest.  After the Sui army occupied Goguryeo, it merged counties and counties, and the area was reduced to a township and belonged to Haiming County (today's Haizhou City, North Korea).

    Wengqian City hangs alone on a lonely peninsula, surrounded by wasteland. Although it is located on the seaside, it is also extremely deserted.

    After the Sui army occupied Goguryeo, its main task was to pacify the people and suppress bandits. The focus of development was also the Zhushui and Daishui basins. It really couldn't take care of such a remote place.

    For the people in Wengqian City, the fall of Goguryeo did not change much from before except for a new master who paid taxes.  Moreover, after the Sui people came, the biggest feeling of the local people was that there was no conscription, and they were even happier because of it.

    On March 6, a large number of ships suddenly appeared on the sea outside Wengqian City, covering the sky and the sun.

    After this group of people approached the shore, they immediately landed and rushed towards Wengqian City.  Wengqian City is a remote place. Even in the Goguryeo era, there were very few wars here.  Later, when the Sui people arrived, Wengqian City also surrendered without resistance.  Therefore, Weng moved into the city, and the military equipment was depleted and the troops were insufficient.

    Countless troops suddenly rushed to Wengqian City, and without any preparation in the city, they occupied the city without any effort.

    It was the allied forces of Baekje and Japan that raided Ongqian City this time, and their commander was the famous Baekje general Naizapei (official name, equivalent to the prime minister) Qimi.

    The defense system operated by the Sui army in Songyue City was watertight.  Qiwei originally planned to attack the Sui army from Weili City, but Da Xihao was not fooled and stood firm.

    Qiwei couldn't find any loopholes at all, so he couldn't attack.

    At this time, the Silla Kingdom continued to urge the Baekje people to send troops. They had already fought against the Sui army in Cheolwon City and Hulu River and fulfilled their commitment. Now the Baekje people should send troops as agreed.

    Seeing that the trick was not working, Qiwei prepared to send troops.

    It happened that the Japanese reinforcements arrived at this time, and the Japanese commander-in-chief Jingmin Chen brought a total of 20,000 troops and more than 300 warships.  Jingbuchen was a famous general of the Japanese country. He once led an army to attack Silla, occupied five cities, and cut off six cities of Silla. He was famous for a while.  Because both Japan and Baekje regarded Silla as enemies, and Japan introduced a large number of Buyeo people in order to improve the population, and the nobles in Japan had more or less Buyeo ancestry, the relationship between the two sides was extremely close.

    Because Japan is an island country, it has a developed navy.

    Seeing that the Baekje people were unable to break through the Sui army's defense line at this time, the minister suggested that after the Sui army occupied Goguryeo, due to lack of troops, they had to stick to the big cities and leave some small cities to the Goguryeo people to defend themselves.  The current war continues, and the Goguryeo Restoration Organization is setting fires everywhere. It is just when the Sui people are tired of coping. If the defenders attack directly at the mouth of the Zhushui River, attack Korea City along the Zhushui River, and cut off the Sui army's retreat, they will surely be able to do it in one fell swoop.  Break it.

    The Sui army attacked Goguryeo twice from the sea, once almost breaking the city, and once directly destroying Goguryeo. Therefore, when everyone attacked Korea, they were also prepared to copy the Sui people's original route.

    Qiwei was a little excited after hearing this. If it succeeds, Baekje will definitely be able to swallow the fattest piece of meat.

    But this plan was quickly rejected by Baekje King Buyeo Chang.  The previous defeat of Yanzhen was too harsh a lesson for the entire Baekje, and even now Baekje has not been able to catch its breath.

    Although Fuyu Zhang was greedy, he really didn¡¯t dare to take any more risks.  Although the raid on Joseon City seemed fruitful, if it failed, the consequences would be beyond what Baekje could bear.

    At this time, Qiwei's lieutenant Hei Tewen suggested that it would be risky to raid Chosun City. After all, the Sui army's navy was also very powerful.  It would be better to retreat and do the next best thing, to bypass Songyue City by sea, cut off Da Xi Hao's return route, and encircle his troops.

    This suggestion was supported by Fuyu Zhang.

    The Sui people did not have strict control over the area south of the Zhu River, except for the two sides of the river.  They can sneak across smoothly, and cutting off Xi Hao's retreat is much easier than attacking North Korea City.

    After some planning, everyone finally chose the remote Wengqian City as the place to stow away.

    It was also the Baekje people who were afraid of the Sui army because of the previous defeat.  Ongqian Fortress was close to Baekje and had no defenses, so it was easy to capture, and even if the attack failed, it was easy to retreat.

    In fact, if the Silla people had not handed over Bukhan Mountain City to the Baekje people this time, and the Baekje people could not refuse, they would not know how long they would have been stalling.

    After the defeat of Sa River, the Baekje people feared the Sui Dynasty as much as a tiger.

    The Baekje people gathered 50,000 troops, more than 800 warships, plus 20,000 Japanese, a total of 70,000 people, from Zhouliucheng (today's Fuan County, South Korea).? Set off and go straight to Wengqian City.

    As expected, Wengqian City was unprepared, and the Baekje Allied Forces fell in one fell swoop.

    After occupying Wengqian City, Baekje people knew about it.  There is not even a Sui person in the entire western part of Haiming County.  The only troops of the Sui army were concentrated in Haiming City, and the Sui people would only come when they were collecting grain.

    Qi Wei then discovered that the Sui people's rule over Goguryeo was weaker than they imagined.

    In fact, we can¡¯t blame the Sui army. Most of the Han immigrants were concentrated in the Liaodong Peninsula, and there were not many Han people in the entire Lelang County.  Moreover, there were too many cities in Goguryeo, and the Sui army could only take care of the big cities, but not the small ones.  In addition, the Sui army was insufficient in number and was mainly concentrated on the front lines confronting the Silla people and the Goguryeo Restoration Organization, so their control was weak.

    And after Huang Mingyuan returned to the Central Plains, his main focus also shifted to the country. Although Huang Mingyuan himself attached great importance to Lelang County, many people within the Sui Army did not pay much attention to it.

    The plan of the Baekje Japanese alliance was initially successful, and Qiwei decided to divide his troops into two groups to attack Haimyeong County.  All along the coast, attack from land, and all the way from water.

    Haiming City was originally called Minei City. After the Sui army occupied it, it restored its name in the Han Dynasty.  Haiming County is one of the sixteen counties in Dalelang County in the Han Dynasty.

    The Sui army originally stationed 800 troops in Haiming City, but after the Battle of Tieyuan broke out, Da Xihao transferred 500 troops from the nearby Haiming City in order to concentrate his troops.

    There are only 300 defenders in the city. Even if a group of young people in the city are recruited, they are no match against more than 100,000 Baekje and Japanese people.

    County magistrate Xu Youji led the defenders to fight in a bloody battle for a day. In the end, Haiming City was defeated, Xu Youji died in the battle, and all three hundred soldiers died for their country.

    Haiming City is only more than ten miles away from Seoul. After its fall, the entire Seoul City was opened wide.  At this time, Qiwei did not expect that the progress would be so smooth. At this time, his ambition was much greater.  If we can capture Seoul, we will have the confidence to fight the Sui army in a decisive battle in the future.

    So Qiwei led 30,000 troops to the north to attack Seoul, and asked the ministers to lead the Baekje and Japanese coalition forces of 40,000 to the east to attack Haigucheng (today's Yan'an County, North Korea) and cut off Xihao's retreat.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
