Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Summer of the second year of Yan State 350 (562)
Woju City/Port (Vladivostok)
After many years, the army of Yan State once again harassed Goguryeo on a large scale.

Previously, because of Yan Lian’s [Decree on Reducing Ding], Yan State would send troops of 2000 people every year to lead the Goguryeo leading party to massacre Goguryeo’s coastal and plain areas, so as to curb the development of Goguryeo people.

This kind of policy was also used by the Wang family on the Jian people before. After more than 100 years of continuous reduction, the Jian people were killed to extinction. Since then, the Wang family has completely controlled southern Liaoning.

A few months ago, taking advantage of the civil strife in Goguryeo, Yan State once again captured South Fuyu City (Siping City), North Fuyu City (Changchun City), and Somo City (Jilin City) to restore the country again for Fuyu and Wuji.

This time, the Yan State simply brought Nanfuyu City into its own direct rule, immigrated to Liaodong Yan people to live in the past, and sent Liaodong officials to manage it.

Let the nobles of Buyeo restore the country in North Fuyu City and rebuild the country of Buyeo, and let the nobles of Wuji restore the country in Somo City and rebuild the country of Wuji.

Southern Fuyu City has a long history. The earliest people to build the city were not Buyeo people, but Yan people during the Warring States period.

Chu State opened up Jingnan, Qin State opened up Longxi, Zhao State opened up Hetao, Yan State opened up Liaodong, and built a city at the northernmost end of Liaodong.

Later, when Yan State was destroyed, the city was occupied by the local Buyeo natives, and the people of Yan State in the city also merged with the Buyeo people, so that the Buyeo people also learned to build the city. For hundreds of years, the Buyeo people continued to increase the thickness and height of the city, and in More cities were built further north, including North Buyeo.

That is to say, as early as the Warring States Period, Nanfuyu City belonged to the land of the Central Plains, but it was later occupied by the local Fuyu natives, and now it is recovered by the King Yan family.

Over the past few hundred years, the family of the King of Yan fought dozens of wars with Goguryeo, most of which were fought near the city of Nanfuyu. This city has witnessed the love and hatred between Goguryeo and the Kingdom of Yan.

The Fuyu and Wuji people blocked Goguryeo’s passage into Yan for Yan. If Goguryeo wants to attack Yan on a large scale, it must first destroy Fuyu and Wuji. But once these two countries are destroyed by Goguryeo, Yan will We will look for opportunities for the Northern Expedition to help these two countries recover and let them continue to guard the northern border for the Yan Kingdom.

Attacking Goguryeo on land is really thankless. After all, the northeast region at this time is full of swamps and hills, and it is easy to be ambushed. Land marching is very troublesome.

So even though the land is closer, Yan still likes to bypass the Korean Peninsula and attack Goguryeo from a long distance from the sea.

It used to be the Little Ice Age, and the sea was full of floating ice, so it was very troublesome to attack at sea. Now that the Little Ice Age is coming to an end, the climate is getting warmer every year. The sea channel to attack Goguryeo is unimpeded every summer.

This time to attack Woju City, a total of 1000 troops were dispatched, including 2000 imperial guards, 3000 noble private soldiers, 3000 guild mercenaries, 3000 black water chieftain soldiers, 3000 Fuyu servant soldiers, 2000 Wuji servant soldiers, There are 1500 Yan Wei soldiers, 1500 Yan Jin soldiers, 5000 Yan Liang soldiers, and 5000 Goguryeo Leading Party Puppet Army. Although there are actually only 20 people, and most of them are cannon fodder for death, Yan State claims that it is 350 Wan Dajun, when the historian recorded this period of history, he also wrote: "In the summer of the second year of Yan State 20, [-] Yan soldiers attacked Goguryeo."

The biggest difference this time is that Yan Guo directly loaded the catapult [Yuan Shen Cannon] on the giant sailing ship and threw flints on the sea.

With the advancement of gunpowder technology, the cost of gunpowder is getting lower and lower, and its power is getting bigger and bigger. The annual output of gunpowder is also increasing. The country of Yan can already launch a hundred [Original God Cannon] at the same time. The flint of the gunpowder, thrown continuously for ten days, could not use up the gunpowder carried by the army.

Rumble!
A large number of [Original God Cannons] made a loud noise, and threw huge flints, which slammed into the walls of Woju City, leaving black pits one after another.

Some flints even smashed into the city, igniting the houses in the city, causing panic among the Goguryeo people in the city.

Even when attacking the Central Plains, Yan Guo was reluctant to use so much gunpowder. After all, the production cost of gunpowder is very high. If too much gunpowder is used, it is likely to lose money.

As for Goguryeo, Yan State no longer cares about losing money or not, and can use as much gunpowder as it has. Their development must be curbed, which is related to the national defense security of Yan State.

The Goguryeo people had never been covered by such fierce firepower, and their city began to crumble. The traditional mud brick wall was already a little weak in front of the big flint.

After three days and three nights of continuous smashing, a gap appeared in Woju City, and a small section of the city wall collapsed.

"Goguryeo, attack!"

Yan Xu asked the Goguryeo puppet army to go forward for the first round of charge, and first consume the arrows and other supplies of the Goguryeo defenders.

The generals of the Goguryeo puppet army had no choice but to disembark with their low-moralized puppet army. Wearing simple civilian clothes and holding wooden shields, they rushed towards the gap in Woju City.

It's not that the Yan Kingdom has no money, it's just that these people are afraid of rebellion, so they don't give them better equipment.

Imperial Guards > Noble Soldiers > Guild Soldiers > Chieftain Soldiers = Servants = National Soldiers > Puppet Soldiers
This is the ranking of the various armies of Yan State, and it is also the ranking of the luxury of weapons and equipment.

shhhhhh!
Whoosh!
"what!--"

As soon as the Goguryeo puppet army came ashore, the Goguryeo defenders in the city threw a round of arrows and shot and killed hundreds of Goguryeo puppet soldiers.

It was only more than 100 people who died, and the Goguryeo puppet army began to fear. They were all puppet troops, so naturally they didn't have much combat effectiveness and morale, and they couldn't bear such a small battle loss.

Training the puppet army has always been a very tangled thing, why?

Soldiers with faith have fighting power, but soldiers with faith are unwilling to be puppet soldiers. Naturally, those who are willing to be puppet soldiers generally have no faith, so it is difficult for puppet troops to have combat effectiveness. You should be careful of this puppet army, because this puppet army may have faith and is ready to rebel.

After another three rounds of charge, the Goguryeo puppet army was completely unable to hold on. Yan Xu had no choice but to let them disperse to the villages around Woju City to burn, kill and loot.

These Goguryeo puppet troops were more cowardly than the other when they charged into battle, but they were more powerful than the regular army when they robbed the common people.

The Goguryeo puppet army dispersed to burn, kill and loot, which naturally made the Goguryeo people in the city very angry. They went out of the city to destroy the Goguryeo puppet army who scattered and looted.

However, this happened to be Yan Xu's strategy. He wanted to use this group of useless puppet troops as bait to lure the Goguryeo defenders in the city out of the city, and then annihilate the main force of Goguryeo in the field.

Although a hard attack can also be taken down, there will be relatively large losses, and it is not a city that must be attacked unconditionally. There is no need to forcefully attack it with casualties.
