Feng Mo, who was in Shenzhou, received Jia Ke's order ten days later.
After receiving the imperial edict, Feng Mo did not dare to neglect and immediately summoned his generals to discuss the matter of entering the army.
The generals under Feng Mo did not pay attention to the small Goryeo. When they heard that the emperor had an order to send troops to Goryeo to eradicate the rebels, they all rushed to the front and asked Feng Mo to accompany the army to fight.
Feng Mo looked at the generals below and was quite satisfied, so Feng Mo ordered: "Commander Xie Jie will lead 10,000 horse infantry as the forward, and I personally will lead 80,000 horse as the middle army. Deng Xiao will lead 10,000 horse as the rear."
answer."
Three days later, Feng Mo took an oath to fight with 100,000 troops, crossed the green water and went straight to Goryeo.
Lin Jianlong received an urgent military report in Seoul and was shocked to learn that the Chinese Empire had sent 100,000 troops to conquer him.
Lin Jianlong summoned all civil and military officials to the palace in Seoul to discuss how to retreat from the enemy.
As a result, when the ministers of civil and military affairs heard that the Celestial Empire had sent troops to conquer, they were all trembling with fear, and they had no ideas to give them.
Lin Jianlong looked at the cowards of the people below and couldn't help but feel angry.
But it’s no wonder that these civil and military ministers, those with integrity and ability, were all eliminated by Lin Jianlong.
The rest of these are nothing more than food and wine bags, relying on Lin Jianlong's desire to seek glory and wealth.
But that doesn't mean that these people below are all losers. There are one or two capable people among them, but these people are wise to protect themselves and don't want to be the ones who stand out.
Lin Jianlong saw that he could not count on these people, so he could only act decisively.
"Today, the Northern Dynasty is unkind and does not want to respect me, Goryeo. They use trivial matters as an excuse to attack me. We, Goryeo, would rather break the jade to pieces than destroy it."
"It is my order that not a single soldier of the Northern invaders can enter the pass at the northern border. They must coexist with the city."
"I will then send orders from all over the country to assemble troops and horses to meet in Pyongyang. I will personally lead the troops to fight to the death against the Northern invaders."
After Lin Jianlong said this, he walked away.
But what he didn't know was that the people in the palace had already started to think carefully when they knew that the troops from the Northern Kingdom were coming to attack.
On the way out of the palace, they had already connected with each other and formed several small groups.
On the third day, Lin Jianlong hurried northward with a total of 30,000 troops guarding Seoul. He handed over his capital to the most trusted Prime Minister Jin Yuan.
By the time Lin Jianlong arrived in Pyongyang with his troops, more than 200,000 people had gathered here.
These soldiers and horses are the most elite soldiers of Goryeo, and they are also the basis for Lin Jianlong to rule Goryeo.
Lin Jianlong rested in Pyongyang for three days, and then headed north with nearly 300,000 horses.
At this time, Feng Mo had already broken through the Green River, and the army marched straight in.
Feng Mo's first goal was Sinuiju, which is the first big city bordering the two countries and the only way to Pyongyang.
Lin Jianlong also knew the importance of Sinuiju, so he arranged for 30,000 troops to defend the city here.
If it were a few years ago, the Central Plains people would have had 100,000 soldiers, and it would have taken some effort to conquer Sinuiju.
However, as Jia Ke promoted firearms troops throughout the country, especially in the important towns of Jiubian, these troops have all been re-equipped, equipped with not only flintlock muskets, but also various artillery.
On the other hand, Goryeo simply lived their own small lives and did not care about the military development of the Central Plains. As a result, they suffered a big loss this time.
After Feng Mo arrived at Sinuiju City, he did not rest. He immediately ordered more than 100 artillery pieces of various types he brought to start bombarding Sinuiju.
Where have the defenders of Sinuiju seen such a thunderous force?
As a result, Feng Mo's artillery unit had just fired for an hour, and the defenders above had already dispersed.
Feng Mo didn't understand the results of his bombardment, but still ordered the artillery to bombard for more than an hour, then stopped the bombardment and ordered the infantry to move forward.
Originally, these infantrymen were determined to die as the first wave of attack. As a result, they arrived at the bottom of the city and no one stopped them after entering the city gate.
The general leading the team saw this situation and hurriedly reported to Feng Mo.
Feng Mo was also surprised when he got the news. Since he joined the army, he has been fighting in the north and south, and every battle has been a tough battle. This kind of thing has never happened before.
Feng Mo was afraid of being deceived and did not dare to send all his troops into the city. Instead, he relied on the leading troops to search the city to see if the other party was using a trick.
As a result, the vanguard troops searched all over Sinuiju and found not even a single defender except the common people.
At this time, Feng Bai led the army into Sinuiju with peace of mind.
Feng Mo summoned the generals in the lobby of the Sinuiju Yamen.
The generals below were all smiling and extremely relaxed. They did not expect that Goryeo's soldiers were so vulnerable.
Feng Mo was sitting in the lobby with a smile on his face. He patted the table gently and said to the people below: "Okay, stop making noise. Now that Sinuiju is broken, the next stop is Pyongyang. I got the news.
, the puppet king of Goryeo has assembled 300,000 people waiting for us in Pyongyang, and there will be a big war next."
After listening to Feng Mo's words, the generals all became serious. Although they felt that Goryeo's troops and horses were vulnerable in the Sinuiju battle, the 300,000 men and horses gathered in Pyongyang this time were presumably the elite of Goryeo.
Moreover, the puppet king of Goryeo is personally in command, so the fighting power will not be too sparse.
Commander-in-Chief Xie Jie stood up and said, "Don't worry, Commander, we all have firearms, and the troops have artillery to help. The other side is just a cold weapon, and in the eyes of the general, the enemy's fighting will is not very strong."
Be tenacious. If the general leads the troops, he will surely succeed in the battle."
Feng Mo smiled with satisfaction. It seemed that the generals below did not have any fear.
"Although what you said makes sense, after all, the opponent has 300,000 troops. We cannot take it lightly. Send the commander-in-chief's order to repair for three days, and then the entire army will advance towards Pyongyang."
Not to mention that Feng Mo's army rested in Sinuiju, but only that the defeated generals who escaped from Sinuiju fled all the way to Pyongyang.
Lin Jianlong was shocked when he received the news that Sinuiju had fallen. He thought that there were 30,000 elite soldiers in Sinuiju, but the opponent had about 100,000 troops. It would take a month or two to break through Sinuiju, but he did not expect that it would only take one day.
, Sinuiju was captured by the opponent.
Lin Jianlong recruited General Choi Yul to preside over Sinuiju Defense.
Cui Lu came to the palace in Pyongyang tremblingly. This time he lost the city and the land. He didn't know what the king would do. He always felt anxious when he thought about this.
Cui Lu entered the main hall of the palace, knelt down quickly and kowtowed to Lin Jianlong who was sitting above him.
Lin Jianlong did not let the fleeing general stand up, but asked in a sinister tone: "You have been a strong general for many years, why did you lose Sinuiju in one day?"
After Cui Lu heard this, his heart became even colder. Hearing what their king meant, he felt that he was in doom this time. Thinking of this, he decided to risk his life and said directly to the superiors: "King Qi, unless it is right, the general will fight to the death."
In combat, the Central Plains people were really too powerful. They were able to control the thunder. At that time, Sinuiju was blown to pieces, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Only then did I have to withdraw from Sinuiju."
Lin Jianlong was sitting on top and was very happy with this escaped general. This was a myth. He was also a messenger of thunder, and he was almost like a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general helping the people of the Central Plains.
Lin Jianlong didn't have time to talk to this person now.
"Come here, drag this general who is greedy for life and afraid of death out and behead him, and let the generals below have a look. This is what happens when you lose your city and land and are afraid of life and death."
Cui Lu didn't expect that the king would just let him say a word and then push him out and behead him. How could he bear this? This battle had nothing to do with him. Wasn't he trying to kill himself?
So Cui Lu screamed for injustice, but Lin Jianlong could not allow him to continue shouting. He winked at the soldier below, and the soldier immediately pointed the knife handle at Cui Lu's mouth and hit Cui Lu hard several times.
Then after Cui Lu lost his voice, he quickly dragged him to the square, killed him with a knife, and then sent the head to the main hall for Lin Jianlong to check.
When Lin Jianlong saw that Cui Lu had been killed, he said to the lieutenant general below: "Start tomorrow and go north to recapture Sinuiju."
The next day, Lin Jianlong led 300,000 troops northward.
As a result, they met Feng Bai-collar's 100,000 troops halfway.
Feng Mo was overjoyed after receiving the news. He did not expect that the other party knew that he had firearms and artillery, and dared to go out of the city to fight. This saved him a lot of effort.
The next day, Feng Mo set up a battle array opposite the Koryo camp.
Lin Jianlong did not show any weakness after receiving the notice and led the soldiers out of the camp.
Lin Jianlong came to the formation between the two armies and looked at the Central Plains Army. He saw hundreds of round black barrels placed in front of the Central Plains Army's formation, and he didn't know what they were used for.
And what their soldiers held in their hands were not swords and guns, but fire sticks.
Lin Jianlong suddenly remembered that before Cui Lu died, he shouted to him that the Central Plains people could use thunder, and he couldn't help but become vigilant.
When Feng Mo saw that the opponent's formation was completed, he did not send generals to attack the enemy's stronghold as before, but ordered the infantry phalanx to press against the opponent's formation.
Lin Jianlong saw that the people from the Central Plains did not follow the rules and did not fight alone. Instead, they sent troops to fight. But this was fine. How could he be afraid of the opponent's fire sticks if he had 300,000 troops?
So Lin Jianlong also ordered his most elite cavalry to attack the opponent's formation.
Feng Mo saw the opponent's cavalry gathering in front of the formation and knew that they were about to launch a surprise attack. He immediately waved the command flag and ordered the musketeers to stop advancing and reorganize their formation to prepare for shooting.
When the Goryeo cavalry was assembled and began to charge towards the musketeers in the Central Plains, what greeted them was not the retreat of the infantry like before, but bursts of gunfire and bullets.
It turned out that Feng Mo had already waved the command flag and ordered, and the musketeers fired in turn.
These fusiliers used three-stage shots to continuously deliver firepower to maintain the density of firepower.
Although Goryeo's cavalry can be said to be brave, when they approached the Central Plains musketeers for a hundred or two hundred steps, they seemed to have encountered an invisible wall and could no longer break through.
When Lin Jianlong saw this situation behind the formation, he was stunned. He did not expect that what Cui Lu said was true.
