As for how to clean up the general Cui Zhuo tomorrow, Huang Jie is still a real headache!

Judging from the current situation, although the Song army fought a quick counterattack, which caught Cui Zhuo and the Goryeo army a little off guard, the Goryeo people thought that as long as the turtle was cowering in the city, no matter how strong the Song army was, there was nothing they could do with him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Moreover, more importantly, even if Huang Jie has the ability to directly break the city and arrest Cui Zhuo, the consequences of doing so may not be affordable by the two countries. Of course, we have to consider the life and death of the more than 100 Song craftsmen who were captured by Cui Zhuo and entered Pyongyang City, as well as the safety of Qin Hui who is now in the city.

Alone in the big tent, Huang Jie thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with any clues, but Huang Dalong opened his mind and brought Chong Xuan, who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield, in person before the time limit, and only then did he verify the data: the fifteen rounds of bed crossbows fired by the Song army, the nine hundred crossbow arrows actually killed less than 300 Koreans, counting more than 170 wounded, that is, less than half of the crossbow arrows made meritorious contributions, and the hit rate was less than 50.

And the reason why so many people were killed in this battle as a whole naturally has nothing to do with the Song army, for example, at least 500 small 500 Koreans were drowned alive in the moat near the trestle, and they all fell into the river and drowned because of panic and trampling when they fled back to the city, how can this be regarded as the record of the Song army?

At the beginning of the second watch, Huang Jie ordered the big tent to be raised and beat the drum of the generals, but in half an hour, the commanders of the three armies made all the generals above.

Seeing that there were still oil stains on the lips and beards of many generals, Huang Jie also stroked his beard and smiled: "Sea fish is delicious, but it is hair, and it should not be eaten more!" ”

Everyone laughed when they said this, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot, and Huang Jie also asked, "Everyone! Is there a book to help the army settle this matter tomorrow? ”

When these words were asked, all the generals looked at each other, and listened to Zhao Shuo, the commander of the Shenwu Army, ask: "General, why don't you attack the city tomorrow?" ”

Huang Jie also sighed and said: "Isn't everyone seeing it today, the Goryeo people are unfortunate and unlucky, and they ignore the wounded soldiers before abandoning the city. Now I also saw that the defenders of the city drove the people to the city to assist in the defense, and if they really attacked the city, they would definitely kill and injure the people. The people are easy to fool, and the people will inevitably hate our army because of this, and it will be greatly disadvantageous to my plan to plot against Goryeo. ”

The generals listened, they were all thoughtful, today's battle situation is obvious to everyone, to say that it is easy to break through the city, but to say that considering that Huang Jie wants to run Goryeo as a strategic place to attack the Jin country, he really can't do things absolutely can't do it.

However, Cui Zhuo's resolute group also saw it, and he didn't even save the wounded soldiers under the city, it seems that after being hit by today's daytime, the next thing he is very likely to dare to do is to stick to the city and die without admitting his mistakes.

Therefore, everyone was silent for a while, not knowing how to solve this problem, but Yue Fei arched his hand and said: "General, why don't you send an envoy into the city tomorrow?" ”

Huang Jie also shook his head and said, "Qin Hui is in the city, why do you need to send any more envoys?" This Cui Zhuo did not admit his mistakes, second, he did not let go of the expatriates, and third, he did not rescue the wounded soldiers, he was really like a stone in the latrine, smelly and hard. ”

But at this time, Chong Xuan said: "General, the last general has a plan, why don't you release the wounded soldiers before the war starts tomorrow morning?" The final general expected that even if the wounded soldiers wanted to return, Pyongyang would not dare to open the city, which might greatly demoralize the defenders. This evening, when the military doctor was cleaning the battlefield in front of the city, the last general saw that the defenders and the people stationed in the city had a sad look on their faces, or the people's hearts were available! ”

Regarding the release of the wounded soldiers, Huang Jie felt noncommittal, but in the immediate situation, there was really no good way, and in the end, he had to discuss a few more plans after breaking the city, and then hastily dismissed the meeting.

After all, now, leading the Song army to a foreign country to protect the expatriates is unprecedented for today's people, and there is no previous car to learn, so they can only come temptingly.

And Huang Jie did not dare to be careless, in addition to the large battalion always on guard, he also divided the battalion of the western army brought with the army into three squads at night and released them all, always paying attention to the movements within a radius of 60 miles, in case the Goryeo army came to rescue Pyongyang and collided with the main formation.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning the Song army cooked on the fourth watch and dined on the fifth watch, and at the beginning of the hour, he also pushed the cart array slowly to the front of the city 600 steps and put out the siege formation, just to let the Goryeo defenders in the city look, the Song army still did not have any siege ladders and corresponding equipment, so that they were puzzled.

When the whole army was finished, Huang Jie boarded the command car, and he also saw Chong Xuan hurriedly reporting: "General, last night refused to surrender to our army, and the Goryeo army prisoners of war who remained in the city, they ...... They ......"

Jiang Xuan stopped talking, Huang Jie frowned, and said, "Didn't they be rescued by the defenders in the city?" ”

Chong Xuan also nodded and said, "Look, it seems that they were all executed to death!" ”

Huang Jie was surprised when he heard it, and he hurriedly came to ask for details, only to know that these wounded soldiers were all killed by someone who cut off the back of their necks, and the method was similar to execution, which should have been done by someone sent in the city last night. When asked about the corpses of the Goryeo army that the Song army had collected and placed yesterday, the answer was that they had not been touched at all, but the tattered armor, weapons, shields, and even some horse corpses that had been discarded on the side and had no recovery value for the Song army were gone, apparently taken by the Goryeo people in the city.

When he got the news, Huang Jie couldn't cry or laugh, he really didn't expect that the Koreans would be like this, the dead don't want it, the wounded soldiers don't want it, but they moved back. At the moment, he was helpless, so he also asked Chong Xuan to act according to the plan made last night and let the wounded soldiers of Goryeo return to the city.

When the wounded soldiers of Goryeo heard that the Song army was willing to let them back, they were all in disbelief, and after determining that the Song army really wanted to release them, they were also full of joy and elated, but what was even more dramatic was that when these wounded soldiers supported each other and came to the place where they were treated yesterday, and saw that they did not follow them to surrender to the Song army yesterday, and the comrades who were left in the local area were kneeling and cutting off the back of their necks and died, they cried and shouted and turned back to surrender to the Song army.

Huang Jie asked the interpreter in curiosity, and only then did he learn from the mouths of these wounded Goryeo soldiers that this practice of making people kneel and only cut off half of the back of their necks was a punishment carried out in the Goryeo army, called the punishment of beheading.

Therefore, when these wounded Goryeo soldiers looked at it, they knew that these people were not killed by the Song army, but by their own army. Come to think of it, the injuries of these people are extremely serious in the eyes of the Koreans, and they are not worth healing, or they dislike them as burdensome...... Anyway, no matter what the reason is, the remaining wounded soldiers think that if they return, it will be difficult to guarantee such a fate, and it is better to surrender to the Song army and survive.

Huang Jie was standing on the building car, watching the wounded soldiers limp from the Song army formation to Pyongyang City with joy, and watched the wounded soldiers crying and shouting for their mothers limping back, believing that this scene under the city was also seen by the Goryeo defenders in the city, so he also waved his hand and asked Huang Dalong to wave the banner of the general attack of the three armies.

At two o'clock on October 15 of the second year of the main road, the Song army officially waved its army to attack the city of Pyongyang, Xijing, Goryeo, in the name of protecting overseas Chinese, and the war was about to break out!
