Shengsi Island overseas, has been a huge fleet of sailors is sailing here, Shengsi Island does not have the Great Song Dynasty garrison, only a dozen aboriginal people, that is, 100 people, usually they rely on fishing for a living, Yan King Li Qing led the army to board this island, and occupied several small islands around and placed a garrison to guard the surroundings.
Zhao Ge on the Sea Dragon reported to Li Qingyu: "Lord Wang, our 60,000 brothers have landed on the island. ” "Okay, you stay and command your brothers to build a large camp and warehouse, and this king will lead an army of 100,000 to the Great Song Dynasty to carry out the landing operation."
Li Qing said to Zhao Ge.
"Lord Wang, why don't you let the last general go," Zhao Ge said to Li Qing.
"Execute the military order, this king has his own considerations, you don't want to add to the chaos, after gaining a firm foothold, this king will send a sea ship to pick you up, remember that at least 20,000 troops must be left on this island, understand" Li Qing said to Zhao Ge.
"Don't worry, the prince will understand" After giving an explanation to Zhao Ge, Li Qing left some grain and grass for him to take Zhou Yang and Zhou Hai to continue to the Great Song Dynasty, Li Qing led the army straight to the Qingdun Salt Field, this area is an important salt-producing area of the Great Song Dynasty, if the Xia army occupies here, it can have a great economic impact on the Great Song Dynasty.
It was less than a day from Shengsi Island to Qingdun Salt Farm, Li Qing led the army to Qingdun Salt Farm when it was already evening, just in time for the high tide at ten o'clock, using this time period, the Song army's sea ships continued to move forward for a long distance, at this time the coastline of the Great Song Dynasty was not even human, using the night time Li Qing led the Xia army to establish a solid bridgehead on the coast, and transported everything to the coast.
Late at night, on the deck of the Sea Dragon.
"Lord Wang, 10,000 Japanese soldiers have landed ashore."
Zhou Hai said beside Li Qing.
"How long will it take for all of them to land," Li Qing asked.
"It is estimated that it will be noon tomorrow, because the landing surface is relatively narrow, our ships need to take turns to land and go ashore."
"Order, the army hastened to land."
Li Qing issued a military order; "Who is the commander of the Japanese soldiers now?"
"Lord Yu, led by Shimazu Tadahisa himself."
"Order Shimazu Tadahisa, occupy the entire salt field after dawn to protect the safe landing of our army."
"Yes, the last general will send someone to give the order."
Although Li Qing has not fought the sea-crossing operation, in Li Qing's opinion, the sea-crossing operation and the river-crossing operation should be similar, both are the most vulnerable to attack when they have just landed ashore, but as the army gains a firm foothold, it is much more difficult to be driven down from Haiken; For the Xia army to cross the sea to fight, no one in the Song army from the imperial court to the local area never thought that the distance was too far, and the Song army had a strong naval division along the coast to protect it.
Therefore, for the Xia army to land in the Qingdun salt field, the Song army was not prepared at all; As an important salt-producing area of the Great Song Dynasty, Qingdun Salt Field is inhabited not only by boiling salt for a living, but also stationed in this group of hundreds of salt soldiers to supervise, but because it is in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, both the salt people and the salt soldiers are not too vigilant at all, so the Song army did not find out about the large-scale landing of the Xia army.
The day gradually brightened, the salt people began to go to the beach as usual to prepare for the day's work, when they were about to go to the sea, but they were stunned, the entire coastal area has gathered an army of tens of thousands of people, at this time the landing soldiers and horses have reached 40,000 people, the Xia army has firmly grasped this landing force, and Li Qing, the king of Yan, has also boarded the coast under the protection of the personal guard battalion.
"Lord Wang, look at those Song Min."
Zhou Hai pointed to the salt people in the distance and said.
"Where are Tadahisa Shimazu, Jiro Kitano, and Masao Yamashita?"
said Lee.
The three of them immediately stood up and knelt down on one knee in front of Li Qing and said, "Slave general, meet the prince." ” Li Qing pointed ahead and said; "There is a small city ahead, and each of you will take ten thousand Japanese soldiers, and take that city to the king in half an hour."
"Yes, follow the orders of the prince."
The three of them took the military order.
Soon 30,000 Japanese soldiers left the coast and went inland to kill, the size of the Japanese soldiers was not high, only between one meter three and one meter four, and the equipment of these Japanese soldiers was very simple, except for a Japanese knife in each hand, the vast majority of people did not even have leather armor, some junior officers only wore bamboo armor and the like, middle and senior officers had leather armor, as for the iron armor, there were even fewer people, only people like Shimazu Tadahisa had a set. 30,000 Japanese soldiers rushed towards Qingdun City, this is a small city, there are only more than 10,000 people in the city, and the defenders in the low city wall are only more than 100 people, facing the attack of 30,000 Japanese soldiers, there is no power to parry, and soon the entire small city will fall; After taking Qingdun City, the Japanese soldiers began to burn, kill, rob, and plunder on a large scale, and the means were extremely cruel, and the men, women, and children in the city were basically all poisoned by the Japanese soldiers, and the whole small city became a hell on earth.
Seeing the smoke burning in Qingdun City, Li Qing ordered Zhou Hai beside him: "Zhou Hai, you lead the king's personal guard cavalry into the city, and kill all the Japanese soldiers in the city who burn and loot without authorization. ” "Yes, Lord Wang" After Zhou Hai got the order, he took hundreds of cavalry to Qingdun City, and the Japanese soldiers who were enjoying the victory were suddenly attacked by the butcher knives of the Xia cavalry, and many Japanese soldiers were beaten stupidly, and the attacking Japanese soldiers did not die in the siege but died in the hands of the Xia cavalry; The Xia army, which soon landed, rushed to Qingdun City one after another and controlled all the Japanese soldiers in the city; For the Xia cavalry suddenly stretched out the butcher's knife to themselves, these Japanese soldiers didn't know why.
The Japanese soldiers who besieged the city were gathered alone, and the 30,000 Japanese soldiers were killed by the Xia army, almost one percent, and in the face of the bright swords and crossbows of the Xia army, the Japanese soldiers gathered together and trembled; Shimazu Tadahisa, Yamashita Masao, and Kitano Jiro came to Li Qing's side and complained: "Lord Wang, after our army entered the city, General Zhou Hai suddenly led the army to attack our army, please Lord Wang. ” "The king made him do it."
Li Qing said with a dark face.
Shimazu Tadashi asked puzzledly: "Lord Wang, the slave doesn't know why" Li Qing kicked Shimazu Tadahisa, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Who told you to burn, kill and loot at will after entering the city; Don't think that this king will take you to attack the Song Dynasty, you can do whatever you want, this king tells you, you are a dog under the command of this king, since you are a dog, you must have the consciousness of being a dog, if you dare to make a decision privately, this king will pick your skin. ” "The slaves don't dare, the slaves don't dare" The three of them didn't dare to resist Li Qing's reprimand, knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.
Li Qing did this to give them a dismount; Then Li Qing said to the three of them; "After you go back, let your people hand over all the things you have robbed, and if you dare to hide them privately, you will not be forgiven; Remember that it is the king's gift to you to be able to go to the mainland, if you behave well, the king can also consider giving you some rewards at the right time, if you dare to hide the king's misdeeds, the king will let you live better than die, get out" The three of them fled with a crawl; After the three of them left, Li Qing said to several generals around him: "After going back, tell the brothers, this group of Japanese soldiers is our dogs, if you don't obey the words, you can kill them directly, but don't kill them, this king still expects them to conquer the city for us."
"Yes, follow the orders of the prince" The second update will be presented as:
