At the beginning of the Battle of Kaiping, the Goryeo army was 40,000 against the silk country 6,000. The Goryeo side had an eight-to-one advantage, and the main force of the Silk Country was concentrated in Pyongyang, and only Wang Hanxin was left behind with 1,500 men in Kaesong, and except for these two cities, the other areas were almost undefended, so it can be said that the Goryeo side had the advantage.

And the reason why Wang Hanxin will undertake the next defensive task is of course not because he is ready to sacrifice himself, but because he has other plans. If it hadn't been for the surprise attack by the Silk Country, Kaesong could have held out for a long time, but after getting the city, the Silk Country strengthened its defenses. After Wang Hanxin took over the defense of Kaesong, he used this short few days to make further resettlement, relying on the walls of Kaesong, the Goryeo army was blocked under Kaesong for ten days, and the casualties were as high as thousands, but the Goryeo army was never able to break through the walls of Kaesong.

As time passed, Cui Jianjiang became more and more anxious, because now every grain of sand in the hourglass was very precious to the Goryeo army, and he had to take these two cities before the army of the Silk Country returned. Now the only thing he can count on is the 10,000 people that Myeongyi brought with him, and he can take Pyongyang City in time to solve the problem fundamentally.

According to Mingyi's estimate before leaving, it will take at least ten days, and if Yang Lian is attacked and sends people to report the news, then in another three or five days, Wang Hanxin will have to rush to Pyongyang. Kaesong will change hands then, right? But if this Wang Hanxin does not go to the rescue of Pyongyang and stays in Kaesong to fight with himself. Can you take down this city?

Cui Jianjiang's doubts were answered in the early morning of the next day, because the army of the Silk Country broke through!

Wang Hanxin's movements were one step faster than Cui Jianjiang expected. He opened the gates of the city widely, and led his troops to break through the north gate in the dark of night. The Goryeo army wanted to stop it, but unfortunately it was not enough, in front of Wang Hanxin, who was like a tiger descending from the mountain, no one stopped his action at all, and soon the camp of the Goryeo army was successfully broken through by Wang Hanxin's troops. However, after Wang Hanxin broke through the encirclement, he did not leave immediately, but let the troops take the first step, and he rode up a hill to look at Kaecheng from afar.

At this time, the Goryeo army was reluctant to chase after the terrible Wang Hanxin. They were all in a hurry to enter Kaesong and plunder their possessions, for they poured into Kaesong through the wide open four gates.

At this moment, only an earth-shattering loud bang was heard, and the entire Kaesong was surrounded by firelight, and even the surrounding earth trembled! Wang Hanxin saw this scene, and then he rode his horse away from the mountain with satisfaction.

It turned out that Wang Hanxin had already planted two ships of gunpowder that he had brought from the country of silk in the city of Kaesong, and in this huge explosion, the four walls of Kaesong collapsed on two and a half sides, and almost all the buildings in the city were destroyed, not to mention the Goryeo soldiers who poured into the city.

Cui Jianjiang is a fluke. There was no hurry into the city, or he would have been caught up in the explosion. More than 10,000 Goryeo soldiers were killed and several thousand wounded. This figure far exceeded the casualties caused by the siege of the city in the previous ten days, making the casualties of Cui Jianjiang's troops almost half. Moreover, the captured Kaesong has become dilapidated, let alone used as a fortress. Even the garrison has become impossible. Furious, Choi Jianjiang had no choice but to leave the wounded soldiers in the camp for treatment, and he himself marched towards Pyongyang City with the rest of his troops.

Just when Wang Hanxin took the initiative to give up Kaesong. Myeong-yi with 10,000 troops has also arrived at the city of Pyongyang. The city of Pyongyang had Yang Lian and 4,500 garrisons, and it was also ready for battle for a long time. Mingyi's sneak attack is almost no different from an upright attack, if Yang Lian really doesn't know how to command operations, then Mingyi is likely to plant a big heel under Pyongyang City.

In the face of Pyongyang City, Myeong-yi personally supervised the battle, and attacked for three days and three nights, with heavy casualties on both sides, but Pyongyang City still stood firm. At this time, Wang Hanxin's troops rushed to the city of Pyongyang.

Mingyi's troops were exhausted after three consecutive days and three nights of attack, while Wang Hanxin's troops had reached the limit of their physical strength after ten days of fierce fighting and three days and three nights of rapid marching. Wang Hanxin did not hesitate to attack the two exhausted divisions - he had to break through the enemy encirclement and enter the city of Pyongyang while the soldiers still had strength left.

When the defenders in Pyongyang saw the arrival of reinforcements, they also sent troops to respond, although the strength of the two troops was less than half of that of Myeongyi, but Myeongyi was also a little difficult to be flanked by the front and back. Wang Hanxin held a gun in his hand and opened the way in the front, and the place he passed was like entering a no-man's land. Mingyi saw that the momentum was not good, and hurriedly rode forward to meet him.

Wang Hanxin saw Mingyi's figure from afar, and shouted: "Bald donkey Mingyi! I didn't kill you last time, it's your fate! You don't honestly hide at home and wait for death, you still dare to challenge General Ben, I think you should die with peace of mind, General Ben will help you! ”

Mingyi was angry and bumped up, and said angrily: "Wang Hanxin! Look at the national teacher who wants your life today! ”

If you want to say that martial arts come to Wang Hanxin knows that he is not Mingyi's opponent, if it weren't for the few swordsmanship taught by Yang Tao last time, I am afraid that he would have been explained to Mingyi a long time ago, so he deliberately led Mingyi over, and he had already quietly touched the fire gun in his hand, waiting for the best opportunity.

If those Goryeo generals were still alive back then, they would definitely remind Mingyi to be careful of Wang Hanxin's secret gun, but unfortunately these people have all died in battle, Mingyi doesn't know how powerful he is, he only knows that he has an advantage, and he only hopes to eliminate the opponent in the shortest time. When the two horses were staggered, Wang Hanxin suddenly picked up the fire gun and shot at Mingyi!

Rao is Mingyi has a quick eye and a quick hand, and immediately used the cooked copper rod in his hand to block most of the projectiles, but he still couldn't completely avoid this shot. Although the scattered projectiles did not fatally injure Mingyi, they blinded him in his right eye, and Mingyi screamed miserably, and walked away with the copper rod on his back.

Wang Hanxin saw that he couldn't take Mingyi's life again, and he yelled in hatred, and he didn't even have time to pick up the gun, so he directly picked up the double knife and slashed the Goryeo army behind Mingyi.

Mingyi's defeat suddenly plummeted the morale of the Goryeo army, and Wang Hanxin couldn't let go of this rare opportunity not to take advantage of it, only aiming at Mingyi alone, and immediately commanded his subordinates to rush and kill with all their might, and successfully joined forces with friendly troops in Pyongyang City and retreated to Pyongyang City.

Besides, Mingyi, who was wounded, returned to the camp and invited a doctor to treat him. Although his face was covered with blood, the injury was not very serious, but this right eye could not be asked for anymore, and he could not go to the battlefield for a while.

With the arrival of Wang Hanxin, not only did the morale of Pyongyang greatly boost, but the efficiency of the operational command was also greatly improved, and in the following two days, the Goryeo army not only failed to achieve any success, but suffered even more heavy casualties. At this time, Choi Jianjiang rushed to the battlefield with his troops, and the Goryeo side once again gained a five-to-one advantage, and the situation on the battlefield once again turned to the Goryeo side.

At this time, in the south of Pyongyang, the situation on the battlefield was quietly changing. (To be continued.) )
