Sometimes Chu Qing was trained by Cuiyu to be like a grandson, which had nothing to do with respecting the elderly and loving the young. In fact, Cuiyu was not old either.
The main reason is that he has the ability, not to mention anything else, just his clairvoyance, a small thing that has turned the tide of the battle countless times and predicted the enemy's opportunities.
If the Goguryeo people had clairvoyance or telescopes, they would definitely not have allowed Wang Tianyu and his men to quietly force them into the sea camp area.
Let alone people, the Goguryeo sergeant on the watchtower outside Shou City didn't even notice that more than ten warships sailed out of the sea fog.
With the sound of gunpowder crossbows, warships, headed by the Donghai, lined up in a row, and the cannon shells and fierce oil barrels like meteors formed a covering strike.
For the last second, everything was silent. It snowed heavily for several days, and the whole world seemed to be frozen.
The next second, it was as bright as day, and the fiery red light reflected the sky and the earth. The continuous explosions woke up countless Goguryeo people from their dreams.
The covering attack lasted for a full quarter of an hour, and the camps on both sides of Shoucheng near the sea were reduced to a sea of flames.
There is no need to light the torch, the light from the burning oil guides Chang's army's path forward.
Wang Tianyu tied the nose mask produced by the Mohist family to his face, and the sharp long knife reflected the soul-stirring light of flames.
"kill!"
With one kill, the Chang army composed of the Hu female tribesmen, boat division troops, and new recruits was like a life-seeking demon that broke into the world from purgatory.
Chu Qing's military orders were never disobeyed and were carried out unconditionally every time.
This time, there is no personal grudge, it is just about the face of the country.
Huang Laosi was the emperor and a famous general. He knew clearly that the Dachang Emperor was camped on the coast, but insisted on beating him up and escaping in embarrassment. Since he had such courage to humiliate the Dachang Emperor, he was bound to bear the wrath of Chang's army.
Chu Yuan put down the telescope, sat cross-legged like He Jizhen, put his hands on his knees, and breathed slowly.
Time passed by minute by second, and every half an hour, Tan Ma, who was accompanying the army, would come back on his fast horse to report on the battle situation.
"Half of the Goguryeo soldiers outside the city were killed, and the rest knelt down and begged for mercy..."
"General Qiu sealed the south gate, and the Shoucheng Qingqi Battalion was wiped out..."
"The west gate of Shoucheng was broken, and General Wang shot and killed the deputy guarding the city..."
"The inner gate is broken, and the army marches straight in..."
"Feng Zhenren captured Shoucheng guard general Hong Hao alive..."
"The city lord's palace was reduced to ruins, and the new soldiers were carrying materials and belongings..."
"Shou Cheng, take it!"
Chu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes. On the sea, Father Sun revealed his fiery red bangs, and there was a bit of warmth in the world.
Standing up, Chu Qing gave the final order expressionlessly.
"Put the heads of Hongyan people on the top of the city, surrender all Goguryeo troops, break off their right thumbs, and burn down all the houses within half an hour. When the time is up, call for gold and withdraw the troops. The next stop will be Ring Dragon City."
Chu Qing, who had not slept all night, stood up and walked to the cabin to rest.
As the commander of Qianqi Camp, Chu Qing could bury Huang Laosi in private, but he did not allow anyone, whether they were Chang people or Goguryeo people, to insult the Emperor of Chang Dynasty.
As Chang Chengqing, Chu Qing also did not allow anyone to insult his fourth brother.
This is the price. No matter what mentality the Goguryeo people are in, whether they are bragging or shaking the morale of the army, since the words have been spoken and spread, a price must be paid. Huang Laosi is not willing to meet them in common, because it is for the greater good.
The goal is to be patient.
Chu Qing doesn't need it. Just tear open the mouth of anyone who talks nonsense. Dignity, the dignity of the country, is not allowed to be trampled by anyone, whether it is the weak or the strong.
Weak people talk big words, which means they have no self-awareness and no need for mercy.
A strong person must have this confidence. Whether it is just an appearance or not, he must give it a try and fight.
The Dachang warship left. It took only seven hours from the time it docked to the sea to the time it left. It emerged from the sea fog and sailed away under the scorching sun, leaving behind nearly ten thousand blackened corpses and a city in ruins.
Before Chu Qing came, this city was the pride of all Goguryeo people.
Compared with the Dachang Dynasty, the Goguryeo people paid more attention to maritime affairs. There were almost all cities on rivers and seas, and these cities were marked on the map of Donghae with red circles.
At present, there is only one city with a black cross instead of a red circle, Shou City!
The fleet led by Chu Qing rushed to the second "red circle", Xianglong City.
Behind every outstanding general, there is a group of counselors who will consider every detail, unless he is Chu Wensheng.
Chu Qing is neither Chu Wensheng nor an outstanding general. Fortunately, he also has a group of thoughtful counselors.
Now that a military operation has been launched, supplies must keep up. Fu San dialed the abacus and marked which city to attack on which day, where to sail on that day, location, and time.
Order the flag ship to return to Guocheng, form a new supply line, and send a steady stream of gunpowder and fire oil to ensure that the fleet has enough supplies to turn all the red circles into black crosses.
The second black cross soon appeared on the map.
When we were about to arrive at Xianglong City, it was snowing heavily.
Zhao Baodan, with his shoulders covered with snow, got off the boat early to draw a map.
The location of Xianglong City is quite special, on the plain, fifteen miles away from the sea.
Only by drawing detailed maps can we formulate a battle plan. Zhao Baodan completed the additional task and sneaked directly into the city. Taking advantage of the darkness, he killed more than 30 guards at the south gate alone, and then used three gunpowder crossbows to attack the city.
The door collapsed from the inside.
When Zhao Baodan ran back, A Yi and Lin Hu led people directly into the city to fight.
Not only were the original Chang people unaccustomed to street fighting, and the morale of the army would be in chaos if the gate was lost, the same was true for the Goguryeo people.
Even so, more than 200 people were still killed in the battle, and nearly a thousand were injured, most of them new soldiers.
Chu Qing gave an order to destroy all four gates and then set fire to the city.
The people of Xianglong City cried and fled. When the black cross fell on the red circle, a supply ship carrying the bodies of the dead soldiers left. Chu Qing looked at the map and finally understood something,
War is just a continuation of politics.
He is a murderer, he does not deny this.
But the cause of everything is the royal city of Goguryeo.
Everything is Inei Island.
Yesterday's cause, today's effect.
If Goguryeo had not wanted to make a profit by killing the boatmen surrounding Yingdao, none of this would have happened.
His eyes were focused on the left corner of the map, which was the west side.
"The battleground for military strategists on the west side, the Three Cities, the west gateway of Goguryeo."
Chu Qing hesitated again and again: "Let's save the deep inland until the end, sail north, challenge Goguryeo's strongest navy, and let the world know who is the best in the Zhongzhou naval battle!"
