Chapter 247 Goryeo Sentence
"Bow to Heaven and Earth"
“Bow to your parents twice”
"Couple Worship"
With the ceremonial officer's shout, the ceremony ended.
Next, the wedding banquet begins.
On this day, all the civil and military officials of Silla attended the wedding banquet. The guests drank heartily and did not stop until midnight.
Ning Quan was finally helped back to the room.
But Ning Quan was not drunk, he remained sober.
Today is our wedding day, how could he get drunk?
Even if he had already gotten married to Kim Hyo-joo, he still had to go into battle and kill the enemy tonight.
After a while, bursts of panting sounds were heard from the room.
.......
The next day, early in the morning.
Ning Quan arrived at the port early to welcome the 5,000 soldiers transferred from Tamsui.
There are currently a total of 8,000 soldiers in Tamsui, and almost half of them have been dispatched.
They arrived last night on a large ship. In order not to cause a sensation, they changed to a warship and went ashore overnight after arriving.
At this moment, five thousand soldiers have already lined up to welcome His Highness's inspection.
"General Li Ji, set off for Jinti City immediately!"
Ning Pian looked serious and said to Li Ji beside him.
"I will obey your orders!"
Li Ji bowed and then led his army to set off.
Gimje Fortress is located in North Jeolla Province on the peninsula. It is the only way for Goryeo to march into Naju. Ningquan plans to destroy the Goryeo army in Gimje Fortress.
"General Park Shinchang, your army will set out with me tomorrow morning!"
After Li Ji led his army away, Ning Quan gave instructions to Park Xinchang who was standing beside him.
"Yes!"
Park Shinchang clasped his fists.
Park Shinchang was the general of Silla, commanding 20,000 Silla troops and was also Kim Young-gwon's most trusted confidant.
Park Xinchang had no objection to accepting Ning Quan's command.
For Silla, the Daqian Dynasty was the Celestial Empire.
"Okay, General Park, go back and prepare!"
After Ning Quan finished speaking, he left the dock.
"Yes!"
Park Shinchang said respectfully.
"General, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has dispatched 6,000 soldiers. Can we win this battle?"
A guard asked doubtfully.
"With such a huge disparity in military strength, it's going to be difficult to win."
"But this Ninth Prince is a very powerful person. I am sure that we can win this battle."
Park Shinchang said in a deep voice.
Ning Quan's military achievements were not only talked about by the people of Daqian, but also widely known in Silla as Ning Quan's invincibility.
They destroyed the Xiongnu, defeated the Tubo, and recently defeated the coalition forces of the Arabs and Persia. Such a record is no joke.
"General, since you said so, I naturally believe you."
The personal guard nodded quickly.
...................
On the other side, the Goryeo army was on its way to Gimje City.
The commander of the Goryeo army was named Zhao Deming, who was the most outstanding general in Goryeo and was in his early forties.
This time, he followed the order of the King of Goryeo Army and led a large army to attack Silla.
Zhao Deming had 70,000 men under his command, all of whom were infantry.
The peninsula is entirely mountainous, and cavalry is rarely used.
"General, we will reach Jinje City in five days."
Deputy General Li Zhicheng said.
"Well! This time, I will let Silla know how powerful our Goryeo is!"
Zhao Deming said arrogantly.
"General, I heard that the King of Silla married his daughter to Ning Quan, the ninth prince of Daqian."
"I also heard that the King of Silla requested the Ninth Prince to send troops, and the Ninth Prince has agreed."
Deputy General Li Zhicheng said in a low voice.
"Yes, I have heard about it too."
"But so what? Am I still afraid of him?"
"Besides, time is so tight, how many troops can he mobilize?"
Zhao Deming narrowed his eyes and sneered.
"Haha, that's what the General said."
Li Zhicheng said with a wry smile.
"Okay, let's keep going and try to reach Jinti City within four days!"
"Yes!"
Li Zhicheng clasped his fists and immediately ordered his men to hurry on their way.
............
In Jinti City, inside the City Lord's Mansion
Ning Quan was discussing the battle plan with generals such as Li Ji, Park Xinchang, and Gimje County Magistrate Park Jianxun.
"Your Highness, the defenses of Gimje City are strong. We only need to hold the city and it will be enough to resist the Goryeo army."
"Moreover, Gimje City is surrounded by barren mountains and wilderness, with no water source and no food supply. If this continues for a long time, Goryeo will inevitably withdraw its troops."
Park Gun-hoon suggested.
"Well, County Magistrate Park makes sense!"
"But, what I want is not for Goryeo to withdraw its troops, but for them to be completely annihilated!"
Ning Quan's eyes were cold and murderous.
"Complete annihilation?"
"What does Your Highness intend to do?"
"We only have half the number of our opponents. We can defend the city, but it's not easy to annihilate the enemy!"
Park Shinchang was shocked.
"Haha, General Park, don't worry."
"We may be short on manpower, but that doesn't mean we can't annihilate the enemy. Don't worry!"
Ning Quan was full of confidence and had a plan in mind.
"Your Highness, what is your plan?"
Park Shinchang asked curiously.
"Haha, the strategy is..."
........................
Ning Quan then briefly explained his plan.
When you have only half the number of troops as the enemy, you must of course use special means to wipe out the enemy.
Ning Quan had already made plans. He wanted to copy the tactics used in the war with Tubo, bury explosives in advance, and then launch a night attack.
"Your Highness, is the gunpowder you mentioned really that powerful?"
Park Shinchang exclaimed.
"Of course, this is the gunpowder I used in my battle with Tubo."
Ning Quan nodded and said confidently.
"I see, Your Highness is truly a god. I admire you so much!"
Park Shinchang flattered.
"Haha, just follow my plan!"
"Yes!"
..................
Two days later, the Goryeo army arrived at the city.
The defenders in Jinti City immediately took alert.
Although the Goryeo army arrived, they did not rush to attack the city, but set up camp first.
I think Zhao Deming also knew that it was impossible to capture Jinti City in just a few days.
After all, there are more than 20,000 defenders in the city.
"Your Highness, the Koreans have set up camp!"
"The campground is exactly where we chose it to be."
Looking at the enemy camp, Park Shinchang said happily.
"Well, that's not surprising. They only have a few locations to set up camp."
"In that case, let's do it tonight."
"The sooner we can eliminate the enemy, the sooner we can return to Daqian."
Ning Quan nodded, his eyes becoming sinister.
"good!"
Park Shin-chang was overjoyed and hurried down to prepare.
