Chapter 1078: Psychological warfare and public opinion warfare
(Originally, I wanted to show some of the new things Wang Junlin had made during this offensive and defensive battle, so that the subsequent expedition against Goguryeo would not appear abrupt. However, I read many readers’ comments saying that the progress was too slow, so I had to speed up the plot to save time.
A lot of content has been removed.)
At this time, a shout suddenly rang out from Wang Junlin's front on the opposite side. It sounded like a loud voice, speaking Goguryeo. Although it sounded a bit muffled, the sound carried far.
"Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers who are digging trenches, stop working for Yeon Gaesumun. If you dig a little further, run into the dam ditch. When you see a tree with a white flag, lie down on the ground. We promise not to kill you.
And he also asked you to stay on the island as common people, gave you ten acres of land for each person, and promised that you would not starve to death..."
"Don't listen to their lies. We are Goguryeo people and they are Sui people. If we go there, we will be beheaded by them. There are no good people in Sui."
The voice on the other side continued to shout: "Our Lord Qin An has said that as long as the auxiliary soldiers surrender voluntarily, we will never behead them. Here are the Goguryeo brothers who surrendered to us in the battle more than two months ago. They are now here."
You can listen to what they say about how they live as ordinary people on Bailing Island."
The Goguryeo soldiers supervising the battle quickly shouted: "Don't believe it if it's fake. The Sui people are the most cunning..."
A loud voice sounded, using the pure dialect of Annan County, Goguryeo: "Dear auxiliary brothers, brothers, I am Cui Gouzi from the third team of the first navy of Annan County, Goguryeo. I surrendered to the Sui people in the last war. They
If you don't kill us, as long as you work hard for two months, you will become a common people on the island and will be given ten acres of land. Think about the life you lived in Goguryeo. The auxiliary soldiers are no better than pigs and dogs. They are used to die.
Yes, and we are not fighting for Goguryeo, but for personal revenge of Yeon Gaesumun. If you can kill the head of a Goguryeo soldier, our Duke An of Qin has said that you will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver and fifty acres of fertile land at a time.
There will also be a daughter-in-law..."
Although most of the Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers have never heard of the name Cui Gouzi, the Goguryeo dialect of the opponent's Annan County cannot be faked. The most important thing is to improve the Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers. They have no status at all. They are just cannon fodder in the war. As time goes by, they will become more familiar with the Goguryeo dialect.
The generals of the army had only hatred and resentment towards the country Goguryeo.
Wang Junlin saw this precisely, and he really needed a population. Especially if there were a large number of loyal Goguryeo people on the two islands, it would be of great use to Yang Guang's plan to fight at sea when he conquered Goguryeo.
, so Wang Junlin deliberately planned this psychological war and public opinion war.
Although the auxiliary soldiers in the Goguryeo trench were silent at this time, everyone in the trench could keenly feel that the atmosphere suddenly became more subtle, and the mentality of the auxiliary soldiers also began to change, especially when they heard about the killing of Goguryeo
When the soldiers went there and were rewarded with a lot of money and fertile land, the Goguryeo soldiers who were supervising the work in the trench immediately became nervous, and all their hands were on the handle of the Shun knife.
The people on the other side shouted one after another, all using the Goguryeo dialect of Annan County. Each one had a given name, and the last one who came up surprised all the Goguryeo people, including Yeon Gaesumun.
The navy commander Lee Hyori who came with them this time, a noble nobleman from Goguryeo, actually surrendered to Wang Junlin. He shouted repeatedly in Goguryeo, which roughly meant that this war was about Yeon Gaesooun's personal grudges, regardless of Goguryeo.
The life and death of the soldiers and forcing this war will not do any good to the country of Goguryeo or the ordinary people. He strongly suggested that all the soldiers of Goguryeo stand up against Yeon Gaesumun. As long as Yeongaesumun is killed, everyone else will be safe.
Return home.
The Goguryeo front line was quiet, with only Yeon Gaesumun's direct henchmen and soldiers scolding each other. However, they were not prepared in advance, and there was no special shouting microphone from Wang Junlin, so the sound could not be transmitted far at all. Many Goguryeo soldiers suspected that the other side
The Sui people in front of them couldn't hear what they were cursing at all. What's more, they were cursing in Goguryeo, which almost all the Sui people on the other side couldn't understand.
Yeon Gae Suwen's expression was so gloomy that he could drip water, but he was indeed not an incompetent person. He quickly reacted. More than a hundred soldiers stood and shouted in unison: "The general has an order. After this battle, all auxiliary soldiers will
Anyone can become a soldier, and no matter what their previous crimes and identities were, they will be wiped out."
It has to be said that the words spoken by Yeon Gaesomunrang were exactly what all the Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers wanted to achieve. Unfortunately, Lee Hyori did not know whose instructions he received, and shouted again: "Brothers of the auxiliary soldiers, you
Haven't you thought about it yet? You don't have much food. Yeon Gaesumun can only eat all of you on the battlefield so that the soldiers he leads can have enough to eat. So if you follow Yeongaesumun, you will definitely die and you will not survive.
It won’t be until after the war, let alone canceling everything in the past.”
Li Xiaoli's words were Yang Kongchan's advice to Wang Junlin. Wang Junlin had someone pass it on to Li Xiaoli on the spot, asking him to shout to the other side. It can be said that it hit the nail on the head. Although the auxiliary soldiers were forced by the swords and arrows of the soldiers, they still had no reaction.
, but the way they looked at the soldiers suddenly changed.
…
…
Wang Junlin's psychological warfare and public opinion warfare were very effective. In the following battle, the morale of the Goguryeo auxiliary troops was completely depleted. Once the Goguryeo forces were pushed too far, groups of people fled to Wang Junlin's side and surrendered under the earthen wall.
Wang Junlin also learned from Li Xiaoli that nearly half of the opponent's troops were direct descendants of Yuan Taizu, and could be regarded as confidants of Yuan Gae Suwen, while the other half were not, so Wang Junlin specifically selected Yuan Gai in the next battle.
Suwen's direct lineage men and horses fought, and over time, they formed a tacit understanding with other Goguryeo people who were not Yeongae Suwen's direct lineage.
As time went by, Yeon Gaesumun's face became more and more ugly, and he sent a guard captain to secretly check the armies. When the guard captain came back, he reported: "I went to the two wings to check. In the past few days, Jin Sanhu, Li Doshi
They were all pretending to be aggressive and calling for murder, but in fact they didn't actually fight hard."
A cold light flashed in Yuan Gaesowen's eyes. He did not expect that the non-direct lineage men under his command would almost form a tacit understanding with Wang Junlin, and Wang Junlin stared at his direct lineage to fight.
It seems that Wang Junlin was very aware of the composition and powerful relationship of the Goguryeo army, and those who were attacked were all his direct descendants. The first thing that Yeon Gaesomun thought of was that Lee Hyori told Wang Junlin a lot of things.
Yeon Gae So Moon said coldly: "Find all the relatives of Lee Hyori who are in the army, bring them to the front of the battle and kill them all."
The captain of the guard immediately took the order and left. After he left, Cui Shengjun, who had won the trust of Yeon Gaeso Moon these days, suddenly whispered to Yeon Gaeso Moon: "General, if this continues, the morale of all the armies will be worn away.
