A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

The battle was over, and the battle was over.

However, before marching into Goryeo, Lu Cheng also asked Hong Tianlei Lingzhen to step up the production of explosive packs, simple grenades, catapults and other weapons to assist various places in defending the city.

At the same time, the craftsmen responsible for smelting steel were also stepping up the smelting of steel according to the method provided by Lu Cheng to prepare for the manufacture of new artillery.

The combat effectiveness of the Jin army is unquestionable. Before, Lu Cheng personally led the team to chase and kill the fleeing Jin army, and his own cavalry also suffered considerable casualties. If it was a head-on battle, I am afraid the casualties would be even greater.

Therefore, if you want to stop the Jin army and make it dare not attack the city again, you must use some means, and firearms are undoubtedly the best killer.

In dealing with the Jurchens, Mr. Lu is quite experienced. After all, in the world of Embroidered Spring Blade, he dealt with the Jianzhou Jurchens, which was about the same.

However, the smelting technology and technology of this era are far inferior to the level of the late Ming Dynasty. It is still difficult to make muskets, or even cross-era weapons such as mortars and heavy machine guns.

Even if Lu Cheng has complete technical information, it will take a lot of time to train craftsmen.

The generation gap in technological level has never been completed by one or two people in a short time.

Therefore, it is easier to make some simple and convenient black powder earth bombs, explosive packs, homemade grenades, and landmines.

However, as the first artillery expert in the Song Dynasty, Hong Tianlei Lingzhen is still capable of rubbing artillery by hand, but the efficiency is not high, and it is mainly using mud casting method, with copper as raw material. The artillery made is not cost-effective, it is better to use catapults with explosive packs.

After inspecting the city defenses of Jinzhou, Shenzhou, Liaoyang, Hengzhou, and Baozhou, Lu Cheng went to see Meng Kang's shipbuilding progress and inspected the summer harvest work in various places.

After all this, Lu Cheng took Hua Rong and a thousand cavalrymen, set out from Baozhou on the other side of the Yalu River, went straight into the heart of Goryeo, and headed towards Goryeo's capital, Kaijing.

At this time, the 16th king of Goryeo, Ruizong Wang Ya, was in power.

When Wang Ya was still the prince, Goryeo regarded Liao as its suzerain state and paid tribute to Liao every year. It also sent troops to attack Jurchen twice at the order of Liao, but was defeated by Jurchen both times.

After that, Goryeo was united, worked hard, and trained its troops to defeat Jurchen. At that time, the Jurchens were ready to rebel against the Liao Kingdom. In order to stabilize the rear, they sent people to make peace with Goryeo. However, they did not expect that the Goryeo people did not have martial ethics. They made peace with the Jurchens on the surface, but sent troops to surround and kill the envoys sent by the Jurchens.

Subsequently, Goryeo mobilized 170,000 troops from all over the country, claiming to have 200,000 troops, to attack the Jurchens. Although most of these 170,000 soldiers were farmers holding hoes and shoulder poles, the Jurchens at that time had not yet been completely unified. They were defeated for a while and were occupied by Goryeo for more than 100 villages and expanded their territory by 300 miles.

Afterwards, the Jurchen tribes reacted and began to prepare for war to regain the lost land. The 170,000 troops mobilized by Goryeo at that time occupied a large part of the domestic labor force, and the drought caused domestic conflicts.

Finally, Goryeo took the initiative to return the occupied land, returned the troops to their homeland, and negotiated peace with the Jurchens.

A grand northern expedition to the Jurchens ended in a whimper and did not gain any benefits.

With the rapid rise of the Jurchens, Wanyan Aguda founded a country and became an emperor. Goryeo completely turned to the Jin Dynasty and became a younger brother of the Jin Dynasty.

In order to fight the Liao Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty could not take care of Goryeo for the time being. It did not want to have a fire in the backyard when the war was going on in the front, so it became a brother to Goryeo.

However, after the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty, the status of Goryeo as a younger brother would decline. Whether it was a son or a grandson depended entirely on the Jin Dynasty.

Of course, now that Lu Cheng has come, Goryeo will have to change its master again.

When Lu Cheng's 1,000 cavalry entered the territory of Goryeo, all the cities of Goryeo immediately sent troops to block them.

But the combat effectiveness of the troops of Goryeo was too weak. Not to mention compared with the Jin Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, even compared with the troops of the Song Dynasty, it was far inferior. It was just a group of untrained militiamen, and basically collapsed at the touch of a button.

Lu Cheng led his troops to march 700 miles, all the way to the vicinity of the Goryeo capital of Kaifeng, without encountering any decent resistance.

Every time they encountered an ambush, Hua Rong would basically shoot a few arrows at the head, and the cavalry behind would charge and the enemy would disperse. Lu Cheng was too lazy to take action, and there was no sense of accomplishment in bullying.

Until less than ten miles away from Kaifeng, a military formation of about 10,000 people finally appeared in front.

Looking at the line of troops in front

Hua Rong said, "These soldiers are finally in good shape, but their equipment is a bit shabby and their appearance is not very good. I wonder if they can withstand our attack."

Lu Cheng laughed and said, "Let's give it a try. You have been in the limelight all the way. I will exercise my hands and feet today."

As he said that, Lu Cheng took off the big knife hanging on the horse, patted the horse Zhuifeng under his crotch, and raised the long knife in his hand forward: "Wait for me to break through the enemy formation, and then you will follow."

"Yes!"

Then, Lu Cheng pointed his long knife diagonally to the back, slapped the horse out, and Zhuifeng immediately began to accelerate.

In the opposite Goryeo army formation, the shieldmen immediately gave up their positions, revealing two rows of archers, who drew their bows and arrows and aimed at Lu Cheng on the opposite side.

Lu Cheng was not in a hurry. When the arrows from the opposite side shot at him, he waved his long knife and blocked all the arrows. Before the enemy finished shooting two rounds of arrows, Lu Cheng rushed to the front alone and on horseback.

The enemy's archers retreated quickly, the shield soldiers raised their shields in panic, and the spearmen were about to put their spears on their shields when they saw Lu Cheng rushing to the front, swinging his long sword in a circle, sweeping across with a knife, the knife light was like lightning, the knife force was like a mountain, and instantly cut the shield soldiers in front of him in half, including the people and shields.

The wind-chasing horse jumped high and stepped into the enemy formation. Lu Cheng chopped left and right with his long sword, and instantly killed a piece of open space within a foot around him, leaving a ground full of broken limbs and arms.

Then, Lu Cheng rushed into the enemy formation alone, like a warship cutting through the waves, and went straight through the enemy formation, moving forward without hesitation.

Hua Rong behind immediately seized the opportunity, led the cavalry, and rushed up closely behind.

The destroyed Goryeo army formation was rushed to the front by Hua Rong before it had time to recover.

Hua Rong led the cavalry to launch two rounds of archery, completely disrupting the enemy formation, and then switched to long spears and led the charge into the enemy formation.

After just two charges back and forth, the 10,000-man army was completely dispersed and fled everywhere.

The leading Goryeo general wanted to gather troops to resist, but was shot dead by Hua Rong.

After rushing through the enemy formation, Lu Cheng led his troops to drive straight in and killed all the way to the Goryeo capital.

Looking at the so-called capital in front, Hua Rong sneered: "Is this the capital of a country? Why do I feel that it is not as big as the cities of Jeju Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture?"

Lu Cheng also smiled casually: "Goryeo is only this big, how big can the capital be? However, looking at the soldiers on the city wall, it seems that we are not very welcome."
