Chapter 534: Finale (2)

"General Wang, it's not good, there are cavalry coming from Haolaidian." A small soldier hurriedly reported to the Goryeo "Tokyo City Lord" Wang Puppet.

"How many are there?"

"I don't know, a lot of people, it's almost to the city."

"Prepare to guard and close the gates," the king shouted angrily.

He angrily scolded the school officer on Ma Jiling in his heart.

The mud bodhisattva still has three fires, and it is a big Song Dynasty official, hearing that they beat up several official officials of the Song Dynasty, Wang Puppet knew that the road was not good, and sure enough, the enemy attacked.

There is no need to guess, but also know that Lu Dao is Lu Maoduo and the Song army teamed up, this is a tribe very close to the Jurchens, once resisted the Liao attack with Wu Xuanming, until Wu Xuanming failed, only to re-shrink under the Changbai Mountain, the most Lu was forced by the Liao army to express sincerity, but as soon as the Song army came, he immediately sent an envoy to meet the emperor of the Song Dynasty. It is said that its leader was also awarded the position of Grand Governor by the Song Dynasty.

It was this experience that no matter what means they used to win them over, they did not defect to Goryeo. And the range they distributed was under Changbai Mountain, including Haoladian, so the news was not leaked until the Song army came to the city.

But he never imagined that from this day on, Goryeo would begin to change the world.

I used to think that the Song Dynasty was a fool, but the Song army really came, and Wang Jun knew that the Song army should not be underestimated, after all, it was the army that destroyed the powerful Liao State. And in the north, the troops in his hands are only a few thousand, where is the opponent of the Song army. Even if the Song army didn't make a move, the Jurchens and other ministries united and ate their own army.

Therefore, while running out, he gave an order, and said, "Send an envoy back to Kaijing immediately." Report to His Majesty. ”

However, it was really late.

Not only the army outside the city, they have a good appetite and are not afraid to knock their teeth. However, this place is too strange to them, including the common people.

The king had just come under the city gate. Before they reached the top of the city, a group of plainclothes men came over with weapons in their hands.

There are hundreds of people, but there are hundreds of people, which one has the heart to count? They were divided into two, one of them rushing at the king's puppet, and the other rushing towards the city.

There are not too many people, and they are not wearing armor, so they are not a big threat. However, the cavalry outside the city was about to enter the city, and the Goryeo officers and soldiers in the city were in chaos. How many people are in the mood to fight bloody battles with this group of big men?

Under the protection of the guards, Wang Puppet has not been killed for the time being, but after the tenacious efforts of this group of big men, the city gate has not been closed.

The cavalry had rushed to the bottom of the city, and they had rushed into the city quickly.

Liaodong is fat, but not so delicious, when the Song Dynasty got Zhuozhou, because it was separated by a Juma River, it could not be defended. The Song Dynasty also took the initiative to abandon it, and Yizhou, which was closer to the Song Dynasty, also abandoned it. Besides, it's so far from Goryeo......

But this one was not the main force of the Song Dynasty.

Wang Fu guessed most of them, and the Song Dynasty sent cavalry over. However, most of them are the allied forces of the Lumaudor tribes.

However, it was enough to deal with this group of Goryeo soldiers who were alone in the north.

The real main army is not in the north, but at sea, on the banks of the Yalu River.

There are many disadvantages to this use of troops.

It is difficult to get the support of the imperial court. It can only be cut first and then played. But in that case, you can only win and not lose. Otherwise, Song Jiu would leave the Northeast in a gloomy manner, the same as down. The results of the two methods are different. And it will bring a series of bad consequences, and even the imperial court policy will become restrained again, and it can even give up more land in the northeast.

Without the support of the imperial court, it would be impossible to conquer Goryeo with the troops, manpower, and financial resources of Youju Road.

Goryeo can be arrogant, but Song Jiu can't be arrogant.

At this time, the use of troops, the autumn was deep, and the time for the Song Dynasty to move troops was very short, and even if it was not good, a fortified city could not be captured, and then the ice and snow began, and the troops had to be withdrawn in frustration.

However, there are also reasons for the use of troops. The first is that the court has changed, forcing Song Jiu to use troops, and the second is that he heard a useful news that Kim Zhiyang, a Goryeo minister, seems to be a person with a lot of "ideas". Third, when the army was mobilized at this time, the Koreans could not think of it at all, and they would not take precautions if they could not think of it.

In three places, troops were used almost simultaneously.

The second is on the east side of the Yalu River.

I also have to thank the Liao State, although the Liao State wanted to appease the Goryeo people and give up the plain of a few hundred miles east of the Yalu River, which refers to a square circle, but there are actually thousands or even tens of thousands of square kilometers. But fortunately, only the southwest plain area was ceded, and the northeast mountainous area was not ceded, including Luzhou City on the east side of the Yalu River.

Guarding the banks of the Yalu River is Kang Zhao, the number one heavy general in Goryeo.

Seeing the yellow leaves, Kang Zhao was also a little relaxed.

However, almost at the same time as the Song army attacked the city of "Goryeo Tokyo", a large number of Song Dynasty troops swept towards the banks of the Yalu River.

Kang Zhao received the news and immediately came to the riverside.

However, at this time, although the autumn water is flat, if you want to cross the river, you must build a pontoon bridge. Therefore, many soldiers were cutting down trees and building bridges.

While Kang Zhao ordered strict precautions, he also thought suspiciously, sure enough, those damn Ma Jiling soldiers angered the Song people.

In fact, Goryeo should not be extravagant and delusional, after all, it is a neighbor of the Song Dynasty, and the Song people value peace, and there is nothing aggressive, at least it is a good neighbor.

It is indeed not bad, since the Song Dynasty, China has been a good neighbor most of the time, and peace is precious, and Guan Jian is that after China has made peace more valuable, the surrounding neighbors have begun to be evil neighbors.

Moreover, the commerce of the Song Dynasty was developed, and a large number of sea ships that went to the Wa Kingdom to trade had to transit from Goryeo, and sea ships that might go to Liaodong in the future also had to transit from Goryeo, which brought a lot of wealth to Goryeo.

If you want to have a place on the west side of the Lazy River, why do you need to enter the boundary east of the Lazy River?

However, when Song Jun came, he thought like this, why did he go earlier.

With the ships coming from the sea, the mouth of the Yalu River is very wide, and there are many islands, some of the islands are not small, when the Liao State was there, the Goryeo people did not dare to occupy it, but the Song Dynasty came, and the Goryeo people also encroached on it one after another.

In early autumn, Song Jiu deliberately came here to inspect it, and then sighed for a long time.

It seems that in later generations, these islands, which were also controlled in China, were also taken away by a big hand for the sake of friendship. The area of these dozens of islands is not small, at least more than 1,000 square kilometers together. Moreover, this line directly led to the loss of the mouth of Jilin.

Then he saw again a small garrison of the Koreans on it.

This added another part of his disgust to the Koreans.

I want to attack the Yalu River. These Jiangxin Islands must be taken.

Hence the arrival of one ship after another.

"Send reinforcements up." Kang Zhao shouted.

It doesn't matter if these small broken islands are or not, but once they are occupied by the Song army, they can come across the river at any time.

However, many ships dropped their huge anchors, and then the soldiers stood on the ships and fired arrows, and even brought out small artillery guns to fire at the reinforcements on Gangxin Island in Goryeo.

Many more ships forced their way to the shore, and heavily armed men rushed out of the ships.

Within a day, one island after another was taken back by the Song army, and then pontoon bridges were erected.

It's late afternoon. The Song army's attack did not stop, as the islands were retracted, the Song army stepped on these Jiangxin islands, the ships turned around in unison, aimed at the east coast, and the bow and crossbow artillery kept firing, especially those artillery, the range reached more than 1,000 meters, forcing the Goryeo people to retreat step by step. Gave way to the beachhead. The Song army began to forcibly seize the beachhead, and it was not until it was dark that the Song army set up camps on the beachhead, and the two armies made a truce.

The next day continued in the bloody battle. However, with the arrival of a large number of reinforcements from the rear, the Goryeo finally stabilized the formation, and even several beachheads were recaptured by Goryeo.

It was in the afternoon when both armies were feeling a little tired. Suddenly, a large puff of dust and smoke rose from the north, and one after another Song army light cavalry killed from the rear. Among them was the most powerful Xianping army.

It should be said that Kang Zhao is also a heavy general with military talents, under his command. Stabilize the formation again and halve everything in the Song army.

"Good opportunity." He shouted with joy in his heart.

Then he dispatched again, while sending troops to crush the Song army on various beachheads, and on the other hand, sending heavy troops to try to eat this light cavalry with more blows and fewer blows.

But there was dust and mist rising from behind, and this time it was back to death.

That is the heavy cavalry of the Song Dynasty, the Beiwei Army.

It may be that their role will be reduced on the desert, but in this flat land on the east side of the Yalu River, and in the field, they will immediately become invincible.

Allowing the Goryeo bow and arrow to shoot, thousands of back-to-back soldiers calmly slaughtered into the Goryeo army, and then kept waving and reaping the Jingsai knife in their hands, just like thousands of death scythes, harvesting the lives of one Goryeo soldier after another.

At the same time, the light cavalry, which had been forced to retreat to the rear, rushed up again, and followed the Beiwei army into the Goryeo camp. Then the Song army on the west side of the Yalu River quickly passed the pontoon bridge and rushed to the east bank.

The sky was gradually approaching dusk, and the large array of the Goryeo people finally became chaotic under the fierce impact of the Song army.

The crash begins.

In this battle, the Song army killed more than 8,000 Goryeo soldiers and captured nearly 5,000 prisoners of war.

However, because in order to achieve the concealed goal, most of them came lightly, and there was a serious shortage of grain, grass, and weapons, and after taking the east bank of the Yalu River, the Song army could not continue to attack, which gave Kang Zhao time to organize the defeated army in the rear, and then asked Kaijing for help.

However, Kaijing really had an accident.

……

When Jin Wenzhong and Jin Zhiyang were talking, a dispute was taking place in Licheng Port, outside the capital city.

The weather is getting colder, and there are many ships on the port of Licheng, such as a small number of ships that are beginning to sail to the mouth of the Tongtong River, so they must return before the ice is frozen, so they come to Kaijing to stop and replenish supplies, and there are also ships going to the Wa Kingdom, which must also rush to the Wa Kingdom before the ice, where to spend the winter.

The Koreans were close to the Song Dynasty, and then learned from the Song Dynasty, and also set up a city to collect taxes, which was slightly heavier. It used to be a little better, but now it is getting more and more excessive, and even if you stop to replenish the supply and do not trade, you will be forced to pay taxes.

It has nothing to do with big countries, if the war launched by Song Jiu fails, China will still be like in the original history, obviously a big country, but not as good as a small country.

In this regard, Song Jiu also deliberately wrote in the report of the battle, it is good to turn the people, but don't fool the people into rabbits, maybe the rabbits have a good reproductive ability, so no matter how they are slaughtered, they will not become extinct. But then, as a citizen of this race, it will be a shame to live. Don't ask Goryeo what he is doing for Lang, no matter how many rabbits there are, even if it is ten billion rabbits, can the Goryeo people be afraid?

This is a bit radical, Zhao Heng is also kind-hearted, and he is unwilling to start more wars and bring more trauma to the people. However, there is a slight trend.

But there were many bloody people among the people of the Song Dynasty.

And so the conflict began.

Several ships came down to buy some supplies, and the Goryeo tax collector came with his soldiers.

The leading merchant reasoned with them, "If we don't trade, why should we be taxed?"

The tax collector sneered, if you don't trade and berth, you have to pay taxes, this is the rule of the Goryeo people, you have to do things according to the rules of Goryeo when you dock at the port of Goryeo.

Then let's leave.

It was not possible to leave, and several Goryeo soldiers pushed and shoved him.

This angered some of the sailors on board, who pushed and shoved the soldiers. The tax collector shouted to the shore and beckoned more soldiers to come up and prepare to arrest them. Of course, there are many benefits, once arrested, not only will the people on these ships be sent to prison, and the ransom will be collected, but their belongings will also be confiscated. Anyway, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty on the other side of the sea valued peace and didn't want to make trouble, so they didn't care. It's not the first time I've done this, but I've done it more than a dozen times this year.

But because they did it more than a dozen times, the merchants and sailors on the ship were also anxious, and the state could not make the decision for them, and once they confiscated the ship, then they would be bankrupt, so they had to resist on their own. (To be continued......)
