Chapter 1023

Facing the powerful military attack of the Chinese army, Li Chao summoned all the elite soldiers of the eight national routes and quickly went to Beijing to help the king. On the other hand, he immediately sent an envoy, Zheng Youxin, the Minister of rites, to beg for mercy and peace with the Chinese army

Zheng Zhibao looked at the other party's envoy, Zheng Youxin, who brought several heads. The other party claimed: "this is the head of the traitor who killed the Chinese envoy. Now the traitor has given the head. Please retreat and restore peace between the two countries."

Zheng Zhibao was dismissive. He sneered and said, "if you just take a few heads and say they are the head of the murderer, it's inevitable to be a handsome three-year-old?"

Zheng Youxin knelt on the ground and said in fear: "commander Mingjian, this is really the murderer of the envoys of the kingdom. They were bribed and bewitched by JianNu. In order to destroy the relationship between the two countries, they killed the envoy. This matter has been examined by the three sessions of the Ministry of justice, the Metropolitan Police house and Dali temple. It is confirmed to be correct. It is an iron case. Please commander Mingjian."

Zheng Zhibao said coldly, "where is the legacy of our messenger?"

Zheng Yibao's question embarrassed the envoys of the other party. You know, at that time, they rushed up and separated the envoys of the Chinese army. Even the rest of the body residues were thrown away one by one. Where else?

However, Zheng Youxin of the Li Dynasty has long said: "This has been destroyed by the traitors. These traitors are bold and crazy. They kill the envoy and destroy the corpses. China and the Li Dynasty are separated by a strip of water. They used to be friendly countries and now they are brothers' neighbors. They should live in harmony with each other. Don't let relatives hurt and enemies hurry. The king of our country has sent envoys to see your majesty. He is willing to bow down and be a vassal forever."

This is the treachery of the people of the Li Dynasty. They are delaying time, but they know that the emperor of the Chinese empire is the supreme authority. If it involves the emperor, no one dares to make a decision on his behalf. Since they say they want to make peace talks with the emperor, the people below probably dare not beat them, which achieves the purpose of delaying time.

This was a method jointly devised by several ministers and experts in the Li Dynasty, mainly for them to dispatch troops from all over the country to serve the king in Beijing and buy time.

Sure enough, when Zheng Youxin said this, Zheng Zhibao was helpless. He said, "this is your right."

Seeing such a situation, Zheng Youxin couldn't help feeling happy. In this way, they won the time. The Chinese are stupid. No one dares to surpass when they carry out their emperor.

This is a big weakness that they can take advantage of.

Who knows, he hasn't been happy for long. Zheng Zhibao's face sank and shouted, "the Marine Corps is ready to land the boat, ready to land!"

Hearing this sentence, Zheng Youxin was shocked. He shouted, "commander, why? Didn't you promise to withdraw the troops just now, didn't you go back on your word?"

Zheng Zhibao made a bow in the direction of Yanjing. He said, "before the Taimiao temple, I followed the order of the son of heaven to denounce rebellion. This is a legacy general. There is an imperial edict to prove that heaven and earth can learn. The Li Dynasty wants peace. Your business is also my duty. I won Seoul and arrested Li Luo for questioning. The rest are not worried."

Zheng Youxin was very angry. He said, "the Chinese side refused to withdraw the troops? What about the two sides?"

Zheng Zhibao said coldly, "the peace is proposed by you. Whether the imperial court agrees or not is unknown. I ordered to lead 100000 soldiers and Jian Ping Li Dynasty to repay the hatred of humiliating the country. What does the peace proposed by you have to do with me?"

Zheng Youxin said: "the messenger of the kingdom was not killed by the king of our country and all the officials of the imperial court, but by the rebels who colluded with JianNu. Now he has given the head one by one. As long as he explained clearly to the Huaxia imperial court, the two sides can turn fighting into friendship and match each other with brothers. Why regenerate the war, so that the living creatures will be coated with carbon, the relatives will hurt and the enemies will be happy?"

Zheng Zhibao said coldly, "I am the prince of Fujian and the commander of the navy of the Chinese Empire. I only follow the will of the emperor. If you have any demands, you can appeal to the emperor. Unless the emperor has an order, 100000 soldiers will resolutely follow the order and will never retreat."

Zheng Zhibao said this sentence in a murderous voice, which almost scared Zheng Youxin to death. If his tactics were very easy to use in the Ming Dynasty, they could play with these people, but the Chinese army was completely different. They wouldn't care about your means at all.

Their so-called peace talks are mainly about delaying time. If they can deceive the other party to retreat, it is naturally good, but listening to the other party's tone, it is impossible to break Seoul and capture King Li.

When Zheng Youxin saw his determination, he said angrily, "generally speaking, your country has no sincerity for peace talks."

Zheng Zhibao sneered: "it's time to play with the quarrel of words." he said coldly: "kill my envoy, humiliate the hatred of the country, pour the water of the Han River, and we'll compete on the battlefield."

Zheng Zhibao did what he said. While arguing with the envoys of the Li Dynasty, he ordered his Marines to board the landing boat and sail to the shore one after another.

Their navy has repeatedly swept the enemy's naval strongholds, docks and forts several times with artillery, which has made the other party cry for their parents. Most places have become ruins, with flames and thick smoke.

By this time, the obstacles had been cleared for their landing troops, and it was time for the Marines to move out quickly.

After landing in Yangzhou and then in Tianjin, the navy has accumulated quite rich experience in amphibious landing. Under the cover of naval artillery, they rowed small boats and rushed to the shore one after another.

However, the Marines still have many problems to overcome. For example, their muskets are most afraid of falling into the water or being affected by moisture, so they can't fight. This makes them have no choice but to wrap their muskets with waterproof cloth, which means they can't shoot.

Therefore, most of the forward troops they landed were archers and sword and shield men, who provided them with medium-range fire support.

Marines, with their muskets equipped with bayonets, rush forward bravely, which also means that most of their battles are based on cold weapons.

This means that it is very important for them to establish beachhead positions for amphibious landing. If they have established beachhead positions, they can load weapons and ammunition. Only after they transport weapons and ammunition can they start fighting.

Otherwise, their guns and artillery will not work at all because of water resistance and moisture.

So the forward troops of the Marine Corps rushed forward with their muskets and soon occupied a large beach position.

This made Zheng Zhibao breathe a sigh of relief. If they were attacked by the enemy and driven into the sea at this time, they would be in a dilemma.

If we give them a foothold on the shore and transport their weapons and ammunition, the most important thing is to transport all their artillery, we can establish a position and expand the scope of occupation. It will be difficult for the enemy to drive them into the sea.

Li Sicheng, commander of the Li Dynasty army, also had the idea of driving them into the sea, but the artillery of the Chinese army was really powerful.

The other side used flower bombs, and even a sweep was a large area, so their soldiers did not dare to fight within the range of the artillery of the water division of the Chinese army, which meant that they were simply killed, a living target. The smart Li Chaoren would not do so, so they had a plan, that is, when the other side rushed ashore, they were outside the range of the artillery, Then drive each other into the sea and kill them one by one.

Now they know and understand that the navy of the Chinese army is very powerful and powerful, but no matter how powerful the navy is in the world, it can't drive ashore. When their army attacks deep inland or more than ten miles away, when their naval artillery can't support, it is the time when the Li Dynasty army is powerful.

Even Zheng Zhibao dared not take it lightly when the Chinese Army scrambled for the beach and landed. He ordered his elite troops to go out to ensure that they would occupy the beach position at the fastest speed at all costs, control more places and ensure the transportation of people and artillery.

They are ready for the most violent counterattack of the other party, and they are also ready for a large number of casualties, because they can't use fire guns and artillery, but can only use knives, guns, bows and arrows to fight the other party, which means that their own side has no advantages, and even because of the hard expedition, the soldiers are exhausted and will be at a considerable disadvantage.

It can be said that this is when they are the weakest and most likely to fail, resulting in a large number of casualties. With Zheng Zhibao's bravery, they are also frightened.

Who knows that when they attack on a large scale, the other side should sit and watch them attack, quickly occupy the beachhead position, expand in depth and expand the occupied area.

This made Zheng Zhibao very happy. He was also a man who had been on the battlefield for a long time. He knew almost immediately that the other side of the Li Dynasty was afraid of his Navy's powerful artillery, so he didn't dare to fight within the operational radius of their artillery.

The other side's wishful thinking should be to give them a fatal blow after the Chinese Army invades their inland and is far away from the protection of naval artillery.

Such an idea made Zheng Zhibao despise it and sneered: "sit on a well and watch the sky and think you are right."

At this time, if they counterattack the landing Chinese Army Marine Corps and the Chinese Army Navy, they dare not use artillery to support, because the troops of both sides have been mixed together. If they use artillery to bomb, it is easy to bomb their own people.

It was when they played best that the other party gave up.

Zheng Zhibao was sneering. Sure enough, he was a group of smart people. Unexpectedly, he still planned to fight with the Chinese army. He was afraid of casualties?
