Chapter 1047: The Northern Expedition to Goryeo (Part II)
The Song army stopped two miles away in the south of the city, Zhang Shun ordered Ruan Xiaoqi to lead 10,000 troops to the north to intercept, time passed little by little, at the third watch, Zhang Shun led 40,000 troops to arrive at Kaijing two miles away, at this time the city inside and outside the city was already dark, and the black city wall was erected in the wilderness.
Zhang Shun stared at the city wall, if it weren't for the Ruan brothers reminding him, he wouldn't have seen that their army had reached Goryeo, what was the difference between this and the Great Song City?
The Song army and the Goryeo army have fought many times, the cavalry of the Goryeo army is okay, but the combat effectiveness of the infantry is relatively weak, which is also the reason why Li Yanqing sent 50,000 troops, but these 50,000 troops are the elite of the Western army, especially good at night battles, as long as the normal battle, the 50,000 army is enough to occupy the capital of Goryeo.
After a while, a scout rushed back to report, "The city is very quiet, and there is not a single soldier in sight. ”
Zhang Shun nodded, turned to a demolition team of twenty soldiers, and said, "It's time to act!" ”
Twenty people rushed out, they took two explosion-type earth-shattering thunderbolts and a few long planks and ran towards the south gate, Kaijing also has a moat, but the moat is not wide, only two zhang, with a few long planks can be built.
But just as the soldiers put the wooden planks on the shelves, hundreds of archers at the head of the city suddenly appeared, aiming at the twenty Song soldiers under the city and firing arrows in unison.
Twenty Song soldiers couldn't dodge, they were hit by arrows, and suddenly there was a miserable scream, two soldiers with earth-shaking thunder in their arms were crossing the bridge, and the two of them were hit by dozens of arrows, and immediately fell into the moat, and the two earth-shaking thunders also sank to the bottom of the river.
At this time, the fire on the head of the city, tens of thousands of Goryeo soldiers stretched their bows and arrows, standing on the head of the city, led by a middle-aged man, it was the great Kuang Tuo Junjing of the Goryeo Dynasty, although the Song army blocked the sea, but someone on the shore saw the fleet, and hurriedly ran into the city to report.
At this time, Li Ziqian was not in the capital, and the city was dominated by Tuo Junjing, the second person of the Goryeo Dynasty, this news stunned Tuo Junjing, hundreds of warships appeared at the mouth of the Chengjiang River, and there would be no one else in this army except the Song army.
Tuo Junjing immediately understood, needless to say, it must be Wang Kai's little Wang Ba who asked the Song Dynasty for help, Tuo Junjing gritted his teeth with hatred, but he didn't care about cleaning up Wang Kai now, first broke the sneak attack of the Song army, and then cleaned up this little Wang Ba.
Tuo Junjing immediately ordered all 20,000 soldiers to be deployed to the city, and the banner was silenced to give the Song army a head-on blow.
Although he killed twenty Song soldiers, Tuo Junjing was a little disappointed, he thought that the Song army would come to climb the city wall at night with thousands of people, but he didn't expect the Song army to send twenty soldiers to sneak attack, what did they want to do?
Zhang Shun was furious, the Goryeo army actually had an ambush, but even if there was an ambush, he would break the city, and he immediately shouted: "10,000 crossbow troops, suppress the enemy army at the head of the city!" ”
10,000 Divine Arm Crossbowmen immediately rushed forward in formation, the Divine Arm Crossbow had a long range, and the killing distance was one hundred and fifty paces, while the range of the archers at the head of the city was between eighty and one hundred steps, and the Song Army's Divine Arm Crossbow obviously suppressed the Goryeo soldiers.
The 10,000 god-armed crossbowmen shot arrows at the city in three sections, and the dense arrows rained down like drops, suppressing the Goryeo soldiers and preventing them from raising their heads.
At this time, another team of demomen rushed forward, they successfully reached the city gate under the cover of crossbow arrows, nailed two giant sky-shaking thunders directly to the city gate, they lit the fire rope, and immediately jumped into the moat to hide, and the hundreds of Song crossbowmen near the city gate also turned around and ran wildly, running dozens of steps before lying on the ground, holding their heads tightly.
The rest of the Song soldiers also squatted on the ground and covered their ears, but the Goryeo soldiers at the head of the city looked dazed, and no one understood what was going on?
At this moment, two earth-shattering explosions sounded at the city gate at the same time, the earth was trembling, the city wall was shaking, the black smoke filled the entire city tower, the soldiers at the head of the city covered their ears in pain, and many people had a strong explosion impact, tinnitus and dizziness, unable to sit at the head of the city.
The explosion killed more than 500 Goryeo soldiers directly above the city, and dozens of deep cracks appeared in the wall near the city gate, which would collapse if there was another explosion.
The heavy wooden gates were gone, the drawbridge had been blown to pieces, and only a piece of wood hung from an iron chain was left dragging on the top of the city, and the gates were hollow and open, and the buildings inside the city could be clearly seen.
Zhang Shun yelled, "Kill!" Kill and go into the city. ”
Tens of thousands of Song troops roared and killed in the city, and Tuo Junjing also shouted at the head of the city, "Go down to the city and fight the enemy army and drive them out of Kaijing!" ”
A tragic street battle broke out in Kaijing City.
........
In addition to 20,000 of Goryeo's 60,000 troops deployed in Kaeongseong, the remaining 40,000 troops were deployed in Uiju on the south bank of the Yalu River, which was originally the territory of the Liao State.
The reason why the 40,000 army was deployed in Yizhou was also because the Jin soldiers were defeated in the Song Dynasty, and the Jin soldiers in the Song Dynasty were all wiped out, which not only made the Jin State panic, but also made the Goryeo Kingdom extremely nervous, and Goryeo had sent 100,000 troops for the Jin soldiers to attack the Great Song Dynasty, so that Hebei and Zhongyuan were devastated, and millions of people died under the iron hooves of the Jin soldiers.
The rulers of Goryeo knew in their hearts that once the Song army counterattacked the Jin Kingdom, Goryeo would be liquidated.
In order to prevent the Song army from entering Goryeo, Li Ziqian personally led an army of 40,000 troops to garrison the Yalu River, but he never dreamed that the Song army would come from the sea and directly captured Kaijing.
Li Ziqian only got the news five days after the Song army captured Kaijing, when he heard that he was killed by Wang Kai's henchman, the monk Miaoqing, in the Joseon Palace in the city, and his five sons and eleven grandsons were killed by the Song army, he screamed, vomited blood and fainted, and did not slowly wake up until his own soldiers tried their best to rescue him.
Li Ziqian cried loudly for a while, he is fifty-three years old this year, and his five sons and eleven grandsons have been killed, which means that he Li Ziqian has died.
"Wang Kai, you are so ruthless!"
Li Ziqian knew very well in his heart that only Wang Kai could do this kind of thing of killing his children and grandchildren, especially the monk Miaoqing, don't look at him as a monk, but he was ruthless and scheming, and it must have been his idea to invite Song Jun.
Li Ziqian slowly calmed down and asked again, "What is the situation in the capital?" ”
The soldier cried: "Street fighting broke out at the third watch, and it was killed until noon the next day, and the 20,000 troops stationed in the capital have all been killed, including ordinary people, I don't know how many people died in the street fighting. ”
"What about Tuo Junjing?"
"He is also dead, I heard that he led hundreds of people to escape, but was ambushed by the Song army outside the city, and none of them survived, and Tuo Junjing's head was still hanging at the north gate."
Li Ziqian lamented, the tragedy has happened, and now he is thinking about saving the endgame, and after thinking about it, he can only ask Jin Guo for help.
Li Ziqian then wrote a letter and ordered an envoy to rush to Beijing to ask Wan Yansheng for help.
......
In Pingzhou, the three generals Wang Gui, Yue Fei, and Han Shizhong led an army of 150,000 troops, and once the Jin soldiers supported Goryeo, they would tear up the armistice agreement and attack Liaoyang Province.
This is a bet placed by Li Yanqing, betting that the Jin soldiers are not ready and will not support Goryeo for the time being, and the Song-Jin armistice agreement clearly stipulates that once the Jin soldiers launch an attack on the Song army, no matter where they are, it will be regarded as a violation of the armistice agreement by the Jin state.
In the north of Pingzhou, with Liaoyang Mansion as the center, the Jin soldiers also deployed 100,000 troops to confront the Song army, while the other 100,000 troops were deployed in Shangjing, and 30,000 troops were deployed in Linhuang Mansion, which is all the armies of the Jurchen tribe.
As for the slave armies of the Jin State, the Khitan and Xi have basically been squeezed out, in addition, Yelu Dashi established the Western Liao State in the northwest, so that many Khitan tribes and Xi tribes rushed to defect thousands of miles, especially the nobles of these two tribes, almost more than sixty percent of them have moved west, which further weakened the number of Khitan and Xi people.
In the center of the Shangjing Imperial Palace, there is a big tent woven with gold thread, paved with tens of millions of gold leaf, it covers an area of five acres, it is brilliant in the sun, flashing with dazzling light, this big tent is the king tent of the emperor of the Jin Kingdom.
Walking into this royal tent, it is simply a sea of gold and jewels, boxes and boxes of gold ingots, all kinds of utensils made of gold, inlaid with rare precious stones, even porcelain is inlaid with precious stones, the floor is covered with precious Persian carpets, in the middle of the big tent, hanging four rare pearls of the night, one in the middle is as big as a grapefruit, and the other three are as big as goose eggs, shimmering with a faint pearl.
Wan Yan Sheng, the wolf lord of the Jin Kingdom, likes gold and jewelry the most, the place where he lives and implements the decree is full of gold and jewelry, in the middle is a rosewood chair, on which a rare white tiger skin is spread, Wan Yan Sheng sits on the white tiger chair, lying or standing on both sides, surrounded by dozens of delicate concubines.
In addition, there are eight maids holding wine jugs, holding fruit pots and wine cups, which are arranged on both sides.
At this time, Wan Yan Sheng was squinting and listening to Yan Zongwang's report, a bad news was coming from the west, the eighteen tribes of the grassland met on the bank of the Tuwu River to discuss the gold plan, and the Song Dynasty also sent Xiangguo Cao Yan and Zhao Kai, the head of the household department, to participate.
This news made Wan Yansheng feel that a crisis was coming.
