Chapter 76 Booty
In the early morning, by the duck-green water, many Goguryeo soldiers were putting firewood on temporary rafts, tied them tightly with ropes, and made them into fire boats for backup. Not far downstream, someone poured feces into the river, making the river water turbid and smelly.
The duck green water is named because the river water is green, just like the feather color on the neck of a male duck. Now there is a lot of feces floating on the river surface, making the river water color turn into shit green.
Such river water, people and livestock will inevitably get sick if they drink it, so the place where Goguryeo soldiers dumped their feces was in the lower reaches of their own camp and the drinking land.
They did this to pollute the river water and let Zhou Kou drink clean water in Daxing City at the mouth of the Yalu Water.
In front of the estuary of the river, there is a city on the west bank called Daxing City, which is the important coastal defense area of Goguryeo and a must-pass place to go to the Liaodong Peninsula. There were tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, but now the city has been captured by the Zhou gangs.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city became prisoners.
Zhou Kou's sea boat also sailed into the mouth of the sea, followed the Yalu River and arrived at the Bozhuocheng area more than a hundred miles away to harass him. Not only did he burn, kill, loot along the way, he also destroyed the farmland.
The Zhou gangs came in full force, and the villages in Goguryeo along the Yalu River were shaken. In order to prevent changes in Bozhuo City, reinforcements from all over the country rushed over. Seeing that there was no advantage to take, Zhou gangs reduced their troops and used Daxing City as a stronghold, and stayed near the entrance of Yalu River to the sea.
For Goguryeo, the Daxing City at the mouth of the Yalu River was occupied by the Zhou Kingdom, which means that the other party could send warships to go up the river at any time, capture the cities along the way, and then cut off the territory of Goguryeo with one knife.
The southeast of Yalu River is the eastern territory where the capital Pyongyang is located; to the west of Yalu River are the mountains, Liaodong and the mountains and forests inhabited by the Marines are the western territory of Goguryeo.
Once the Zhou Kingdom achieves such a goal, it means that the situation around Goguryeo is extremely deteriorating, because if Liaodong is lost and its ties with the various ministries of the Marine tribes are cut off, it will be difficult for Goguryeo to last too long with the strength of the territory east of Yalushui.
There is Zhou Kingdom in the west, Silla and Baekje in the east. In the midst of such an attack, Goguryeo will sooner or later fall into destruction.
Therefore, when news of Daxing City's loss came, Goguryeo was shocked, and then troops from all over the country gathered in Yalushui and marched towards Daxing City, vowing to recover this important coastal defense site before winter came.
In order to prevent Zhou Kou's sea ship from going up the river again and carrying troops to conduct assaults, the Goguryeo army prepared a large number of fire ships by the river, waiting for Zhou Kou's warship to approach and burn them all.
A large amount of human and animal manure was dumped to pollute the river water in order to make Zhou Kou in Daxing City downstream sick.
The vanguard army of Goguryeo recently camped several miles outside Daxing City. It had clean mountain springs as water sources, so it was not afraid of accidentally drinking the dirty river water.
Seeing that everything was ready, the Goguryeo army was waiting for the time to rush to attack the city with all its might and recover Daxing City before winter came.
The Goguryeo army upstream was preparing, and the Yalu River was underwater. The smoke rose from the Goguryeo army camp in the north of Daxing City. The chefs were busy cooking and providing food for the army.
There were tens of thousands of people in the army, plus war horses, and people ate and chewed horses and consumed a lot of money every day. Yesterday, camped yesterday and didn’t bother to dig enough stoves. Now the chefs have to continue digging pits and digging enough soil stoves.
A chef digging the stove dug out a strange cable in the field as he was digging. The cable seemed very long. It stretched from the campsite to outside for some unknown place. Several other people surrounded him and pulled it hard in curiosity.
But it can't be pulled.
Someone used a knife to cut it. After cutting the skin, he found that it was a wire of iron.
Who is laying the iron cable here? What is the purpose of this iron cable?
Just as everyone was puzzled, they suddenly heard the sound of trumpets coming from the direction of Daxing City to the south. When they looked up, they seemed to have soldiers rushing out of the city and coming towards the camp.
Then there was a sound of drums and trumpets in the camp. The Goguryeo soldiers who had not had time to eat food quickly picked up their weapons to prepare for war, preparing to give the invading enemy a headache.
At this moment, a shocking thunder sound came from the ground, and then the ground shook violently. Many Goguryeo soldiers were shrouded in flames and smoke from the ground before they could come back to their senses.
A large number of sky-burning thunder buried in the ground in advance came with a "electric detonation" through cables. At that moment, most of the Goguryeo military camps were bombed into the sky. In the thick smoke, a vague mushroom cloud soared into the sky, and could be seen from miles away.
The Zhou army soldiers who had already left the city saw the enemy camp covered with smoke and shouted to move forward with all their might and beat the dogs in the water.
......
The next day, at the south gate of Daxing City, a large number of carriages left the city. The baskets on many carriages were filled with a large amount of iron armor with clear blood, and a large amount of money, grain and cloth. They were transported to the dock outside the city by the soldiers of Zhou soldiers who were about to retreat.
There, at the end of the temporary trest bridge, a large number of sea boats were moored. These sea boats were about to carry soldiers attacking the Yalu Water to return to Lushun, at the southern end of the Liaodong Peninsula.
In fact, these Zhou army soldiers were not serious officials. They were all armed personnel from the Beiyang Trading Company. This time, the purpose of attacking Yalu River was to rob, so there was no need to fight the Goguryeo army here.
Yesterday, nearly 10,000 Goguryeo army collapsed in the "rumbling" and the Beiyang trading company team that took advantage of the situation to kill was rewarding a lot, but then tens of thousands of Goguryeo army were eyeing each other, so it was time to retreat.
Women with hair disheveled hair curled up and sat in carriages leaving the city, without covering their bodies, wrapped in some rags for cover. They looked at the team moving towards the beach, and then at the big ships by the beach, their already decayed faces were full of horror.
They were originally residents of the villages near Daxing City and Yalushui River, but now they are plunders as wars and are being done by the "evil thieves" who come across the sea.
After being tossed by others for a long time, they are now weak and can only curl up in the carriage, allowing the carriage to take them to the dock, board the Shanghai boat to a foreign land.
Among the soldiers escorting the carriage, Zhang Wulang looked at a woman in the car with satisfaction, looked at the woman's dim eyes, and remembered the wonderful scene when he was tormenting the other party last night, and couldn't help but feel a fever in his abdomen.
I can get on the boat, I still have to love you!
Zhang Wulang thought so, although he didn't know the name of this woman and the other party would not speak Chinese, it didn't matter. As long as it was a woman, it would be fine.
If you do it every day and every night, Zhang Wulang doesn’t believe it, but he won’t be able to make the other person’s stomach bigger. Then the other person gives birth to a fat boy, and the old Zhang family will have a back.
As he thought about it, Zhang Wulang became impressed that it would be worth it for him to work hard to get a wife. Otherwise, if he could not afford to pay for his family to hire a matchmaker in his hometown, where would he get a wife?
Like many people in Qingzhou who had difficulty living, Zhang Wulang worked for the Beiyang Trading Company, signed a contract, received training, and then obeyed the company's arrangements to go to Liaodong to fight a war, grab Goguryeo's money, food and women.
Many people died, but many people made money by working hard.
Zhang Wulang is the group of people with the best luck. This time, as the fleet attacked the Yalu Water area of Goguryeo, he was qualified to select trophy first with his outstanding performance during combat.
He chose a young woman with a big butt (easy to raise) without hesitation to pass on the family line for the Zhang family.
I asked for some gold and silver jewelry and prepared to change to a "small apartment" in the company's "employee residential area", and strive to "dormant" with the snatched daughter-in-law, and strive to make her belly bigger as soon as possible.
Zhang Wulang's plan was like this, and his companions also planned it. Everyone was fighting for the qualification to challenge the spoils, and they all chose women to continue the incense for their ancestors.
This time the company broke through Daxing City and did not intend to be stationed for a long time. The Goguryeo army was coming in full force and the company did not intend to fight head-on. So yesterday, a Goguryeo army was solved, and after the opponent was defeated, everyone was about to withdraw.
If you board the sea and enter the sea, no matter how many soldiers from Goguryeo are, they will not be able to catch up.
As they thought about it, Zhang Wulang and his companions were full of confidence in the future. This year, they have obtained precious spoils through their own efforts. In the coming year, they have to work harder.
At the mobilization meeting before crossing the sea, the "shopkeeper" said it well. The court now wants to deal with the Turks and has no time to control the thieves from Goguryeo, Liaodong, so everyone goes to Liaodong to rob... In fact, fighting is to share the worries of the court.
It is also a share of worries for the Supreme!
