As for how to plunder, the Qi army has very rich experience.

For example, how to quickly divide and tie up all men, women, and children, so that they are incapacitated to resist but not hinder themselves from keeping up with the large army.

Another example is the distribution of the physical strength of the captives, how much booty should men carry, how much booty women should carry, and so on.

This is all experience, the Qi army has become accustomed to the pattern of handing over all the loot first and distributing it after returning home (soldiers can only keep small, worthless items), and how much they capture is related to performance, so they will not smash dozens of dollars worth of things in order to put an extra penny in their pockets.

Naturally, they don't kill people casually for no reason.

Of course, it is unrealistic not to kill people, in order to deter the resisters, where there is resistance, all men choose to kill one out of ten.

If the resistance brought casualties to the Qi army, then choose five kills.

If no one in the entire village and town resisted, the Qi army would not kill anyone, but directly asked everyone to cooperate, and under the custody of a small number of soldiers, he took the property of the whole village to support the old and the young, and walked towards the assembly place of the Qi army at the mouth of the Han River.

After all, it is now Layue, and compared to other conquerors, the Qi army kills less, but this does not mean that there are fewer dead.

Along the way, they did not have enough food and clothing, coupled with being taken as slaves, they were terrified, and the infirm, especially those who were old, weak, sick and disabled, basically had no chance to walk to the camp of the Qi army, and they would freeze and starve to death halfway through.

For a time, the road from Goryeo Wangjing to the mouth of the Han River was full of corpses, the ditches were filled with miserable white corpses, wild dogs, wild wolves and other creatures tore human corpses with red eyes, if it were not for the Qi army guards would shoot wild things that were too close, it is estimated that these beasts would even dare to attack the captive team during the day.

This is also a process of retrenchment, and the Qi army only has some preferential treatment for women and younger children in the childbearing age, and all men over the age of 12 are treated individually.

In this case, the Koreans who were able to arrive in Qi Province alive were either women and children, or strong men.

This will play a big role in making up for the labor gap in Qi Province.

The Qi army was far more efficient at looting than any previous force that had invaded Goryeo, not to mention that they had a large number of leading party members to help.

By the 25th day of the lunar month, the Qi army had captured nearly 100,000 people near Gyeonggi Province in Goryeo, along with a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock, gold, silver, jewelry, cloth of various colors and other materials.

What satisfied Xu Shiyang the most was that the Qi army also seized a large amount of grain, which amounted to more than 100,000 stones, almost all of which was obtained from the homes of the two classes of nobles and the warehouses belonging to the royal government.

The food alignment provided a better guarantee for the military operations of the Alignment Army - at least the Navy's transportation task was much easier.

……

On Wang Jing's side, the Qi army still besieged the Goryeo but did not attack, but they maintained pressure on Wang Jing for a long time.

At the beginning of the siege, in order to hold the last line of defense of the city wall, the king of Goryeo and the two classes of nobles forced all men, women, and children in the royal capital to go to the city wall to participate in the defense (of course, the nobles and their families were exempted), and for a time they actually gathered nearly 100,000 troops.

However, the Goryeo nobles did not even prepare enough warm clothes and shelter facilities for the defenders, and as a result, the moon night suddenly cooled down, and the defenders of Wangjing were actually frozen to death and frostbitten thousands!

So much so that the next day, thousands of Goryeo defenders opened their gates and surrendered to the Qi army.

However, the Qi army did not seize this seemingly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, except for the surrender of the army, and then sent hundreds of Goryeo people who voluntarily surrendered to shoot a burst of arrows at Wang Jing, the Qi army did not launch any attack on Wang Jing on this day.

Until the evening, a Goryeo general named Jin Zhen led hundreds of private soldiers to re-close the city gate, and the Qi army also returned home at the same time, ending the day's battle.

Now, even the most stupid person can see that the Qi army deliberately besieged Wang Jing and did not fight, just to wait for the troops of the Qin King of Goryeo to take the initiative to send them to the door.

However, neither the king nor the two classes were willing to order the Qin Wang army to act carefully, and they were all expecting the Qin Wang army to exert its combat effectiveness and break the Qi army's encirclement of Wang Jing.

This natural knowledge is a fantasy.

On the 29th day of the lunar month, more than 6,000 people of the Huanghai Daoqin King Army were defeated by the Qi army on the south bank of the Imjin River, and the Goryeo army suffered more than 1,500 casualties and more than 3,500 prisoners.

On the evening of the 30th year of the Chinese New Year's Eve of Longdao, the Qi army held a New Year banquet, and the army's propaganda team lit a bonfire to present a party for the besieging army and the Goryeo defenders hiding on the city wall with the main purpose of showing off the strength of the Qi army.

The party went on to a wonderful point, and the Goryeo people who took the initiative to surrender to Qi Province also sang the traditional folk songs of Goryeo in unison.

In addition, the besieging troops set up rows of cauldrons at the gate of the city, making pork stewed vermicelli while making pork and green onion stuffed buns.

The soldiers of the Qi army ate and laughed, and the defenders were hungry and cold, smelling the tempting aroma of the exquisite food under the city, and shivering in the cold wind.

After this day, the number of Goryeo people who voluntarily surrendered became more and more, and by the third day of the third year of the Lunar New Year in Longdo, more than 10,000 people had surrendered in Wangjingnai.

At this time, there were still 50,000 or 60,000 people in Goryeo, half of whom were organized into soldiers, but most of them were unarmed and were not trusted by the king and nobles.

The several city guards appointed by Li Wei could only bring 3 or 4 hundred soldiers each to guard each city gate.

On the eighth day of the first month, the naval divisions of the three provinces of Gangnam (Chungcheong-do, Jeolla-do, and Sanggyeong-do) gathered 28 banya boats, 17 boats, and 46 Bazuo boats, and launched a counterattack on Ganghwa Island under the command of Li Yiqi, the inspector of Chungcheong's right province.

It was said that it was a counterattack on Ganghwa Island, but in fact, before the war, Li Yiqi's intention was to intercept some of the Qi ships returning from Goryeo, because he received information that the Qi army was transporting a large number of people looted from Gyeonggi Province back to Qi Province.

The returning ships will be much less armed than usual, and if they are able to enter close combat, Li Yiqi thinks that he may be able to achieve some victory.

The luck of the Gaoli Navy was very good, and the first one to encounter them was not the Qi army, but the fleet of the Li family in Shuangyu Port.

After both sides discovered each other, they had no intention of avoiding the battle, and each took the initiative to approach the other.

At a long distance, Li Jiajun used new weapons bought from Qi Province against the Goryeo army - muskets and artillery (all trophies captured by the Qi army from the Tartars), but fortunately, the Li Jiajun gunners were inexperienced and shot at the Goryeo army from a long distance, and the low hit rate was terrifying.

There are only a dozen or so large-caliber guns that really exert their power.

Of course, with a dozen guns, although they could bring some casualties to the Goryeo army, they could not prevent the other side from rushing to the front.

After entering the range of bows and arrows, the Goryeo army rained down on arrows as usual, and the Li Jiajun, who lacked armor protection, also paid a certain amount of casualties in the enemy's long-range attacks.
