The movements of the Song army under the city in the past two days made Li Ziqian, the commander-in-chief of the Goryeo people's defense of the city, a little confused.

The cavalry of the Song people, who basically did not help the siege of the city, did not camp with the infantry army, but stood guard outside the other gates of Kaijing, as if they were afraid that the people in the city would escape.

Although this move shows that the Song people have a great appetite, it is obviously to swallow the entire Kaijing City in one bite. However, Li Ziqian, who saw this scene, couldn't help but feel smug, and the pride in his chest suddenly rose to the highest point, it turned out that there were twenty-two city gates in the capital of the dignified Goryeo, can you Song people "guard" it?

Dagoryeo did have enough soldiers to protect these city gates, and with him Li Ziqian taking the lead in "donating", the city wall with a circumference of 29,700 steps can stand on average to two people per step, and there is still more than enough to defend the 22 city towers.

And the infantry army of the Song people seems to have locked the Xuanyi Gate of Kaijing, and after camping outside this city gate, there was no movement.

The Goryeo people who defended the city felt that although the Song people below were stupid, they were also knowledgeable, and they also knew that they would choose the largest and most gorgeous city gate in Kaijing as the goal. It turns out that this Xuanyi Gate is the west gate of the royal city, and the west is the golden side, which is righteous in the five constants, so it is named. Its main entrance is double, there is a floor view, and it is an urn city. There are three gates in this gatehouse, the gates on the north and south sides are for ordinary people and officials to enter and exit, only the middle gate is left to the king of Goryeo, of course, the envoys of the Song Dynasty who come across the sea can also enter through the middle gate.

Obviously, the Song army at this time did not have the treatment of the Song envoys, just because the envoys brought rewards and alms, while the Song army brought Xingshi to punish crimes. The Koreans have always asked for money and materials for the big countries of the Central Plains, and they asked for help and help, but they were unwilling to listen to the suzerain's words. There is no concern about being short and eating people's mouths.

The Song army's choice of attack targets satisfied the vanity of many Goryeos, but Li Ziqian felt that this group of Song people was too stupid, and chose the tallest and sturdy castle tower in Kaijing City as the target for attack, and he didn't know what the other party's boss had in mind.

Originally, the two main generals of the Dragon and Tiger Army were still a little worried, and the trebuchets brought by the previous army attack were obtained by the Song people who crossed the sea lightly and were used in this siege battle. I didn't know that there was no trace for a long time, which made these two generals feel relieved.

Li Ziqian felt that this useless military general was really making a fuss, and immediately criticized the two of them for their wrong ideas! How could the walls of Kaijing be threatened by a few catapults? More than eighty years ago. It was because the old city of Kaijing was broken by the Liao army, so at that time, Goryeo did its best to grit its teeth and levy 300,000 strong men to build a city, and it was such a day to prevent it!

However, what made the most powerful prince in the royal city quite embarrassed. No one thought of it, including the fathers and fathers. The army under the city for the first time was actually the legendary old suzerainty of the Central Plains, not the new father Da Liao. And this time they are no longer wooing themselves, but they are upholding justice for another country that almost disappeared, which makes the hearts of the Korean people after learning the news a little sour.

I'm the only one who can fuck you in front of you, bastard! You can't spoil anyone!

What is fair and righteous depends on the feelings between us! Isn't it that two years ago, he once again rejected the request of the Great Song Emperor to contact the Jurchens through Goryeo (although he had directly refused as early as the time of Song Shenzong), and he could use real swords to meet each other? In fact, Great Goryeo also has a hard time, and the Jurchen is the main target of the Hundred Years War of Goryeo. Let you talk, Dagoryeo is still playing a fart!

Li Ziqian looked at the Song army who was encamped not far from the city with a heavy face. The mood is very complicated, he has already ordered all the Goryeo generals who are guarding this gate to know that they must try their best to catch a weighty Song army general, because his brother Li Ziliang, who went to the Song Dynasty as an envoy, is still in the hands of the other party, fortunately the other party did not use this to threaten himself, and he is quite good.

"If you can catch as much as you can, after all, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is misleading the traitorous ministers, don't tie the enmity too deeply!" When Li Ziqian went down to the city, he instructed the general of the Dragon and Tiger Army, and called this only surviving general in the Eight Guards to think it was true, after all, if you don't hit people in the face, you can't win too much, you have to save some face for the Song people, right?

Li Ziqian left, he had already made up his mind not to come over every day to investigate the situation, and he already knew the dilemma of the Song people under the city who did not dare to attack, and walked without a face. If the stalemate continues, not to mention waiting for reinforcements from all over the country to arrive, as long as his henchman and Goryeo's number one general, Tuo Junjing, the deputy envoy of the northwest soldiers and horses, arrives with men and horses, I am afraid that the Song people will not be able to retreat to the sea with dignity.

Since the problem in front of him was no longer a problem, Li Ziqian naturally turned his attention back to the DPRK. The son-in-law seems to be more obedient this time, but the dog under him is too arrogant, for more than ten years, every time he takes a group of civil officials who don't know whether they are alive or dead to do it with him everywhere, and when he repels the Song army this time, it is time to have an end. Don't think that if the tiger closes its eyes, it won't eat people, these fifty or so backbones who are desperately following Han Anren will always have a good end for them.

"Zide, there are some things that I can't explain to them, you should know that the forgiveness is still in the hands of the Song people, you are here, take more care for me!"

Goryeo Tongzhi Privy Council, Shangzhu State Li Zide is Li Ziqian's cousin, they are all a family, naturally there is no need to speak thoroughly, so I saw Li Zide while responding to his cousin, while personally sending Li Ziqian down to the city, the two of them were discussing what was very confidential next to their heads, where did everyone dare to approach, at this moment, I suddenly heard the Privy Council officer come to report: "The guards of the northern gates have news to report, saying that there are more than 2,000 cavalry under the city moving in the direction of Xuanyi Gate in the west!" ”

Li Zide was a figure like Tong Guan in the Goryeo court, and when he heard this, he said disapprovingly: "These little things are also to be reported? The Song cavalry has been swimming in the lower reaches of the city these days, is there still little news of this kind? ”

"Report to the Pillar Country, and there is also news from the southern gates, saying that there are no less than 2,000 cavalry, and they are also moving to the Xuanyi Gate!" The officer saw that he added.

This news attracted Li Zide's attention, and he glanced back at his cousin and said, "Gather the cavalry, are they going to attack the city?" ”

"You and I just came down from the city, where do these Song army foot soldiers look like they are going to attack the city? No matter how much cavalry comes, it's just a bluff! ”

Li Ziqian was a little disapproving, the Song people at this time should regret it, what's the use of bringing so many cavalry for no reason? Great Goryeo is the best at fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, and has the best experience in dealing with cavalry. Therefore, the Daliao army, which has accumulated millions of people, has been boiled up every time, and finally has no choice but to retreat.

"Brother, I'd better go to the city and have a look!"

Li Zide was a little uneasy and took the initiative to say goodbye to Li Ziqian. Li Ziqian didn't care either, and waved his hand to call him go. Immediately, I heard Li Zide's military order spread in the air: "All the Wangjun will go to the city to assist the regular army in defending the city!" ”

Li Ziqian shook his head and smiled, this cousin is still not too old, seeing the wind is rain, he was about to get into the carriage and leave, but he saw a subordinate come to report the military situation, and after speaking, when Li Ziqian looked at the city, it was already full of people, Li Ziqian took one last look at the city wall, got into the carriage, and said: "Go to the palace!"
