Chapter 952 Turtle Shell King City
| | | -> -> "My lord, everything is going well. General Zilong and General Jun Yi are progressing very smoothly. Jeolla Province has been completely controlled by our army. Chungcheong and Sangqing Road have also been captured by our army. If the Lord has Command, General Zilong can even divide his troops to intimidate Seoul and further persecute the enemy!"
Xi Zhicai was beside Shang Ji, reporting the situation loudly.
Shang Ji nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, and said with satisfaction: "Zilong and Baishou have done a good job, it should be a big credit!"
After speaking, he asked again: "How is the situation in Pyongyang City?"
"Pu Yin is frantically mobilizing for war. There are tens of millions of armed forces in the city. It's really hard to count the exact figures. I guess even Pu Yin himself doesn't know. Soldiers run away every second, and at the same time, people are forced to join the army every second. , I am afraid that only God knows how many people there are!"
After finishing speaking, Xi Zhicai shook his head strangely and said: "It stands to reason that such a crazy forced conscription should have caused a large-scale civil uprising in the city long ago. However, according to the report of the spies who sneaked into the city, although the city of Pyongyang was in chaos, it did not break out. In the true sense of the civil uprising, I am afraid that there are powerful people in this city!"
Shang Ji is not surprised by this, North Korea is also a country after all, it is strange that there are not a few township things.
Xi Zhicai ignored Shang Ji's thoughts and continued: "According to our refusal, if we continue to allow Park Yin to mobilize forcibly, the number of armed personnel in Pyongyang may even exceed 20 million."
"Hehehe!"
Shang Ji laughed immediately when he heard the words, and said with some disdain: "Twenty million? Is it an army with twenty million sticks that are not fully equipped?"
Xi Zhicai also smiled when he heard the words, not to waste time on this issue.
The battles of the hastily conscripted army can refer to the rogues Shang Ji encountered when he first entered the game. It is an exaggeration for Shang Ji to say that they don't even have all the sticks, but in fact their equipment is not much better than the sticks, and many of them are low-quality weapons that are too lazy to pick up when they are thrown on the ground.
Such an army, as long as the number does not exceed 100 million, there is no need to worry at all!
"Where are the South Korean reinforcements? How are they doing now?"
"It is still approaching near Pyongyang, but the marching speed has decreased significantly. According to the current speed, it will take about six days to reach Pyongyang."
Shang Ji closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and then said: "Send the order to let the Guiyi army take action. It hinders the marching speed of the South Korean reinforcements. But be careful, the action should not be too much, to ensure that the South Korean army can reach Pyongyang in half a month. Among them Let the military division handle the issue of the temperature of the fire!"
"Don't worry, my lord, nothing will go wrong."
"Speaking of the Guiyi Army, the eighteen Guiyi Army under our name have developed quite well, and the largest one has more than 300,000 troops. Is it overkill to send them to do something to obstruct the march? Now the war is about to come If we want to break out, should we call them to help in the battle? On the one hand, it will make up for our lack of manpower, and on the other hand, it will also create an atmosphere of Wang Shi's rebellion?"
Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Shang Ji was a little surprised: "It's developing so fast? The largest one has more than 300,000 soldiers?"
He didn't have high expectations for these rebels, and naturally he didn't pay much attention to them. He was surprised to hear that they had reached such a scale.
"That's right, Pu Yin is not popular among the people, and heroes raised their arms and responded. There are no less than a hundred rebels in various parts of North Korea who play the banner of attendance king and rebellion. The rebels recruited by our army are all troops with high development potential and relatively strict discipline.
Coupled with our secret funding, the development momentum is naturally rapid. Today, the total strength of the 18 rebels under our name has exceeded five million! "
"Of course, although the scale is large, the combat effectiveness is not high. Among them, not even one-tenth of them can really meet the standards of the Pingzhou Guard Army, let alone the Zhan Army. The members of the Guiyi Army are mainly at the second and third ranks About steps!"
"It's not bad to be able to achieve this level in such a short period of time. Now is the time for employing people, and we can't be too demanding. Let them lead the troops to gather in the direction of Pyongyang. In addition, the military division will make arrangements, and when they arrive Ben will hold a banquet in honor of them in honor of their achievements."
"The subordinates have written it down. If they can be valued by the lord, they must be very grateful, and they will go through fire and water for the lord!"
Let’s skip this topic. Although most of the leaders of the Eighteenth Route Rebel Army are historical military generals from the Korean region, neither Shang Ji nor Xi Zhicai think that these few historical generals are worthy of discussion.
With Shang Ji's status at this time, don't say that those few inconspicuous historical military generals in the Korean area, even Zhuge Liang, are not worthy of Shang Ji's handover. Being able to host a banquet is already due to the special contribution during the special period, otherwise they might just be dismissed after simply meeting the merchants.
It's not that Shang Ji doesn't respect talents, but that Pingzhou's "talents" are already overflowing. If everyone really asks about their health, then Shang Ji doesn't have to do anything all day long, and there is not enough time to spend condolences.
Liu Bei was able to pay three visits to the thatched cottage because at that time he had nothing but an empty title of Yuzhou Mu and General Zuo. When he was really in power, he also neglected Pang Tong who was as famous as Zhuge Liang!
"How is our army's preparations? You must know that this is the first time we are facing the Royal City in a real sense, and we must be fully prepared for everything."
Shang Ji shifted the topic to the city of Pyongyang again. The capture of Dragon City was to take advantage of the sneak attack, and the capture of Zhenbei City was because there was no one in the city, so it was not considered a siege. And the Huaxia City during the National War on the Mainland was the same as Bai Jian's. After all, it was never occupied by a serious siege battle.
However, Shang Ji has three royal cities, and he is indeed the most clear about the defense of the royal cities.
The previous Xianning City had been crazily reinforced by the North Korean army. The defense of the city wall was at the top level among the giant cities, but compared with the real royal city, it was purely childish.
The hundreds of city-breaking dragon cannons are concentrated at one point, and the continuous bombardment for five days, regardless of consumption, is enough to blast the walls of any giant city. But if it is replaced by the city wall of the king's city, the number of city-breaking dragon cannons is doubled, and it takes three times more time to break through the city wall.
As for ordinary catapults, this kind of thing is not to be shamed in front of the king's city. The walls of the king's city are basically immune to this thing.
This is also the most important reason why Shang Ji besieged Pyongyang and did not attack Pyongyang, allowing Park Yin to expand his army crazily—it’s not that he doesn’t want to fight, but he really can’t move this turtle shell!
"My lord, don't worry, the material preparations are going well. The dozens of damaged city-breaking dragon cannons have been repaired and sent back by the navy. At the same time, the navy also sent eighty-six new city-breaking dragon cannons and twelve The [City Destroying Dragon Cannon] urgently produced by the public loser, and the twenty-eight super-powered magic cannons designed and manufactured by Master Hephaestus were also delivered.
Magic missiles, city-breaking dragon bombs, etc. are all stored according to the standard of 200 rounds each. The cost of these shells alone exceeds 300 million gold. This time, even with money, they can break open the turtle shell in Pyongyang! ! ! "
When it comes to the end, Xi Zhicai's face is a bit grim, although he is not very responsible for government affairs, but thinking of the expenses of this war, Xi Zhicai still has a feeling of liver pain!
