Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 567: Korean Army

The heavy snow for several days has already stopped. In the morning, the sun shines on the earth!

It's just that the snow on the ground has not melted, and the cold wind is still blowing. It's a cold sunny day!

It was at this time that Zhao Chen, Yue Fei, Yu Yunwen and others came to Tokyo’s Liaoyang Prefecture.

When there were more than ten miles away from Liaoyang Mansion, there was the sound of horseshoes from the south, and not long after, Zhang Xian led more than 10,000 elite soldiers to greet him!

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, nominally Yue Fei led an army of 50,000 to the south, but Zhang Xian actually led the army to the south! It has been half a month since Zhang Xian came to Liaoyang City. Yesterday he got the news that Zhao Chen is coming!

"See your Majesty in the end!" Zhang Xian got down from the horse and fell to the ground on one knee, excitedly said.

"I'll see your Majesty!" The soldiers behind knelt down one after another and said in unison.

"Get up soon!" Zhao Chen laughed.

Zhang Xian and the soldiers just got on the horse, and everyone looked at Zhao Chen with joy! Zhao Chen's ability to regain the country mainly depends on the army. He has a high prestige in the army, and the soldiers not only respect him but also love him.

"Your Majesty, we are heading to Liaoyang City!" Zhang Xian said.

"Okay! Liaoyang is the former Tokyo of the Liao Kingdom. It can be said to be the first city in Eastern Liaoning. I wanted to see it! Before, these were foreign territories, but now they belong to our Han people!" Zhao Chen Smiled.

The weather is cold, but Zhao Chen's clothes are still very thin, his martial arts are strong, and he has already entered the realm of invading cold and heat! Looking at the soldiers in front of him and the faintly distant city of Liaoyang, his heart was also very excited!

There was snow everywhere in the distance, and they began to gallop on this endless snowy field!

"How is the situation of the Koreans now?" Zhao Chen said.

Yue Fei, Wang Shu, Yu Yunwen and others were all beside Zhao Chen, listening at this moment.

"Your Majesty, after the arrival of our army, the Koreans never moved forward! However, the cities east of Zhenhai Mansion have all been taken by them, and the cities south of Liaoyang City have also been taken by them!" Zhang Xian said.

"What is the exact strength of the Koreans?" Yue Fei said.

"In the beginning, their strength was 250,000, but recently they have increased by 100,000, and now their strength has reached 350,000!" Zhang Xian said.

"They have a lot of troops! By the way, who is their chief?" Zhao Chen said.

"Their general is called Cui Zhuo, and he is a well-known general in Goryeo! Now this Cui Zhuo has been named the Grand Marshal of Zhengxi by the King of Goryeo, and 350,000 Korean soldiers and horses are under his command!" Zhang Xian said.

"Marshal Zhengxi? Ridiculous!" There was a mocking expression on Zhao Chen's face.

"General Zhang, have the Koreans tried to attack Liaoyang City during this period?" Yu Yunwen said.

"They didn't attack Liaoyang City, but now some of the Korean soldiers are on the south side of Liaoyang City, only more than 30 miles away from Liaoyang City!" Zhang Xian said.

"Oh? How many soldiers and horses are there in this part of Goryeo?" Yue Fei asked immediately.

"There are about fifty thousand people!" Zhang Xian said.

"I want to go to the Korean military camp to take a look and see how this Korean man is. Are you interested in going with me?" Zhao Chen thought for a while and said abruptly.

"This..." Yue Fei was stunned, and said: "How honorable is your Majesty, how can you go to the Gaoli military camp willingly to take a strange risk?"

"I just went to take a look, not to fight them right away! Zhang Xian, is the Goryeo army infantry or cavalry?" Zhao Chen said.

"There are very few cavalry in the Korean army, and most of them are infantry!" Zhang Xian said.

"We are all cavalry, so I'm afraid that they won't succeed in infantry? Let's go and take a look!" Zhao Chen said.

Yue Fei was silent for a moment, no longer blocked, and the army galloped towards the south!

When Yue Fei went south, he led 20,000 cavalrymen, and Zhang Xian led 10,000 cavalrymen. At this moment, these 30,000 cavalrymen went south together, on a huge scale!

They passed by to the west of Liaoyang City. Zhao Chen looked at Liaoyang City and saw the tall and simple city walls here! There is a wide moat under the city wall, but the weather in the northeast is too cold, and now the moat is still freezing!

"The five capitals of the Liao Kingdom are all different! Needless to say, Yanjing and Datong, Shangjing and Zhongjing guard the grasslands, and Tokyo is the center of Liaodong! To govern the north, we must first govern these big cities!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty is right! Whether it is going to Beijing, Zhongjing, or Tokyo, we must send important ministers of the DPRK and China to garrison!" Yu Yunwen said.

"Yunwen, I intend to hand over Liaodong to you, are you interested?" Zhao Chen said.

"This... so best!" Yu Yunwen was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Since you followed me, you have spent most of your time doing things by my side. There is no real ruling party! Therefore, although you are excellent, you still lack some governance experience! I am very young, you are also very young, and we still have It's a long way to go, so you can't stay by my side all the time. You have to go to a place to get involved in politics, and then grow up, so that you can take on more important tasks in the future!" Zhao Chen said.

"Weichen understands, thank you, Your Majesty!" Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen smiled and nodded. He looked forward to Yu Yunwen very much and admired Yu Yunwen's talent very much! It's just that Yu Yunwen is really too young, so he still needs to let Yu Yunwen polish it for a few more years!

"Liaodong is not very far from Yanjing. If you are in a hurry, you can return to Yanjing and report to me in person." Zhao Chen said.

"Weichen knows!" Yu Yunwen said.

Thirty thousand troops galloped on horseback, and half an hour later, at about noon, they came to the Korean military camp.

Song Jun's speed slowed down, Zhao Chen, Yue Fei, Yu Yunwen and others rode ahead on horseback, and they kept looking forward.

At this moment, a Korean army appeared in the distance!

The dress of these Korean troops is very weird. They are wearing high hats, and they are still wearing long robes, and the outside of the robes is covered with armor! They have halberds in their hands, and the team is very neat!

"Go, accompany me to take a look!" Zhao Chen said.

He suddenly rushed towards the Goryeo army, and Yue Fei and others hurriedly followed.

After a while, they came to these Korean people!

There are probably more than two hundred Koreans in front of them, and their formation is still very neat, but their faces have expressions of panic, and many Koreans have expressions of bewilderment.

Zhao Chen, Yue Fei and others circled these Koreans and then returned to the Song Army again, and those Koreans had already hurriedly ran toward the south at this moment.

"How is the Korean army?" Zhao Chen said.

"Their formation is neat, and it seems that they train a lot on weekdays! It's just that their dress is weird, and this kind of dress is not conducive to combat at all! In our army, we all wear Hu uniforms for riding and shooting, and they have long dresses. Jacket! Their weapons are all halberds, which are not as good as our infantry’s spears and Song crossbows. As for our cavalry weapons, we have a variety of weapons, including close combat and long range combat. They are far inferior! Their soldiers look thinner and weaker. The quality is average, but our soldiers are much stronger, and their physical quality is far better than them! What's more, their soldiers lack the toughness!" Yue Fei said.

"Strong air?" Wang Shu asked strangely.

"A truly powerful army is an army or soldier that has gone through thousands of trials and countless wars, with infinite confidence, bravery, and courage, and can fight the enemy without hesitation when necessary! Such an army or soldier is like a liger, unmatched ! It's like the Korean army in front of us is vulnerable to my Da Song army! We are like strong adults, and they are toddlers!" Yue Fei said.

"Well said! They lack murderousness and arrogance! Although they are neatly formed, they are just imaginary, and the real strength is not mentioned!" Zhao Chen nodded and said.

Zhao Chen, Yue Fei and others continued to move forward, and they kept seeing Goryeo patrol troops along the way. These Goryeo patrol troops were panicked and fled to the south one after another.

Soon after, the sound of war drums also came from the Korean army, and there was a lot of noise in the Korean army camp.

"Send someone to the Goryeo army and tell the main Goryeo here that I have come to Liaoyang City. Please go to see me in Liaoyang City!" Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

There is chaos in the Korean army. Two quarters of an hour have passed, and the Koreans have not yet finished their team.

At this moment, in the camp in the middle of the Korean military camp, a dozen Korean generals are sitting here, and there are also a few scholars here.

One of the generals in his thirties was slightly fat, with a cross-faced face. His eyes were very small, but his eyes were cold. There was a small beard under his chin, roots like iron! He is not very handsome, but his golden helmet and golden armor and a scarlet cloak make him look extraordinary!

He is the leader of this Korean group, Jin Changsheng!

"Song Jun actually came outside our barracks, what should we do?" Jin Changsheng's gaze swept across the generals below, and said.

"Naturally, it's a battle with them!" a forty-something-year-old general with white skin stood up and said.

"General, we may not be Song Jun's opponents!" At this moment, a middle-aged scholar stood up and said.

This Confucian scholar is Jin Changsheng’s military commander, Li Rui, a famous wise man in Korea!

"Master Li, you have messed up our military spirit before we go out. You are really **** it!" Suddenly a twenty-year-old general stood up and shouted coldly.

"Yes, Lord Li, you can't mess up our military spirit!" Jin Changsheng also nodded and said.

"General, Song Jun's ability to defeat Jurchen in these years is enough to prove that they are powerful!" Li Rui said.

"Just a mere Jurchen, it's nothing! Didn't Jurchens cross the Great Wall back then? Haven't we Koreans also hit Liaodong? We haven't seen Jurchens blocking it?" Jin Changsheng said.

"That's because the Jurchen people were all restrained by the Song Army!" Li Rui said.

"Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Han people have fallen! Their territory is getting smaller and smaller, and their military strength is getting worse and worse! They are not even Xixia opponents, and we are not weaker than Xixia? Han can defeat Jurchen , That’s because the number of soldiers and horses of the Jurchens is really too small. They fought the Central Plains from the north. The front line was too long and the supply was insufficient, so the Han talents took advantage! We don’t want to lay down the entire Central Plains, we just want to It’s just to restore the old Goguryeo! In Liaodong, we will fight the Song army sooner or later, and we can’t be afraid of them!” Jin Changsheng said.

Li Rui frowned, and said no more now.

Jin Changsheng stood up at this moment. He was about to order the whole army to attack. At this moment, the voice of soldiers reporting from outside came.
