Chapter 755: The Battle of Kaijing
In the early morning, thousands of large ships of 10,000 stones sailed into Kaijing Bay, and the soldiers patrolling nearby immediately rushed back to Wangcheng to report.
Wang Hui was shocked, and urgently ordered Li Ziyuan to discuss, Li Ziyuan's face was heavy, and he said for a while: "Weichen suggested that it is best to go out of the city camp, the Song army's siege iron and thunder are very powerful, once the Song army breaks through the city, the consequences are unimaginable." ”
Wang Hui said angrily and anxiously: "The problem is not here, I have repeatedly said not to provoke the Song Dynasty, but now it's okay, I didn't even give a chance to explain, and I went straight to the door." ”
Next to the crown prince Wang Xun said: "Father, things have come to this point, it's too late to say anything, it's better to take advantage of the other party's unstable disembarkation, raid the other party, and have a chance to win, the child is willing to lead the army to fight with the Song army." ”
Li Ziyuan also persuaded: "Your Majesty, surrendering now will only make people laugh, although Goryeo is a small country, it can also fight." ”
Wang Xun and Li Ziyuan took turns to persuade Wang Hui that Wang Hui was not a strong-willed person, and he gradually wavered, there were 80,000 infantry in the city, 30,000 defenders, and 10,000 palace guards.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Since the Song army must fight, then I will accompany you." ”
He immediately said to Wang Xun: "You lead 80,000 troops out of the city, if the Song army has not completed the assembly, then kill it, if it has completed the assembly, then be cautious." ”
"The retainers obey the order!"
Wang Xun went immediately, and Wang Hui sighed and said to Li Ziyuan: "I only hope that this battle will not let Goryeo fall into the sunk." ”
.........
The 80,000 Goryeo army, under the leadership of the crown prince Wang Xun, rushed to Kaijing Bay, which was more than ten miles away, and when it was two miles away, Wang Xun rode on his horse, and saw from a distance that there were countless large ships in the bay, dozens of which were on the shore, and many soldiers were carrying something downward.
Wang Xun was immediately overjoyed, the main force of the Song army had not yet disembarked, and this was their opportunity.
Wang Xun immediately shouted: "Kill!" ”
"Kill!"
An army of 80,000 marched like a tide to the docks in the distance.
On a large boat not far from the dock, Fanning looked coldly at the 80,000 Goryeo army that had been killed.
He immediately shouted, "Shoot the rocket!" ”
Three rockets shot into the sky at once, and the sky was exceptionally red.
At this time, the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Song army ten miles away to the south suddenly launched, and the 100,000 cavalry were like a rushing black sea, overwhelmingly killing the back of the Goryeo army.
The 100,000 cavalry of the Song army had already gone ashore, and the Song Dynasty warships continued to the north, posing at the northern dock to prepare to disembark and assemble the army.
This gave the Goryeo army a false impression that the enemy was these thousands of warships, so that they could rush and kill with all their might, and in the movement war, the cavalry and infantry met, that is, a one-sided slaughter, and the infantry had to fight against the cavalry, and could only rely on the military formation, and now the Song army set a trap, and the Goryeo army misjudged and lost the opportunity to assemble the military formation.
The soldiers on the dock had fled back to the big ship, and by the time the Goryeo army had reached fifty paces from the warship, dozens of warships had fired hundreds of iron thunderbolts from their steel ballistas.
Iron fire and thunder exploded in the crowd one after another, and immediately blood and flesh flew sideways, many soldiers were blown into the air, screaming, a thunder exploded, and hundreds of people around were killed and injured.
The Goryeo soldiers were beaten head-on, blindfolded, and the ranks were in disarray, and they turned around and scrambled to flee.
Wang Xun was so angry that he scolded: "These idiots, who let them get so close to the boat." ”
At this moment, his own soldiers pointed behind him and shouted in fear: "Your Highness... Your Highness, what is that? ”
Wang Xun looked back and was so shocked that he saw dust flying two miles away, covering the sky and the sun, and the earth was trembling and making a thunderous roar.
"It's cavalry!"
He immediately shouted: "The army is assembled and lined up!" ”
It was too late, and most of the soldiers were still immersed in the fear of the explosion of iron and thunder, and they just wanted to escape from the dock as far as possible.
In just a moment, 100,000 iron horsemen were killed a hundred paces away, and when the soldiers saw that the situation was critical, they picked up Wang Xun and ran wildly.
At this time, the Goryeo army discovered that the Song cavalry had killed their eyes, and they let out a desperate scream at the end, and 100,000 iron cavalry slaughtered into the rout of the Goryeo army.
...........
In this battle, the Song army of 100,000 iron cavalry defeated the 80,000 Goryeo army, killed more than 60,000 enemy soldiers, captured more than 10,000 enemies, killed a river of blood, corpses all over the field, Wang Xun only fled back to Kaijing with thousands of people, and the other armies were all wiped out, which was only more than an hour before he left the city, and the Song army also paid the price of thousands of casualties and cavalry.
The dust of the war fell, and 100,000 infantry began to land one after another, and soon the assembly was completed, and after they disposed of the corpses, the 200,000 troops slaughtered in the direction of Kaijing.
The 80,000 Goryeo army was defeated by the Song army, and the news of the destruction of the whole army paralyzed the Goryeo emperor, Wang Hui, and now there are only 40,000 troops left in the city, how can it be worth the 200,000 Song army like a wolf and a tiger, and it is not good that Goryeo will be destroyed!
Wang Hui no longer had the courage to confront the Song Dynasty, and after scolding Li Ziyuan and Wang Xun, he hurriedly sent Wang Li, the minister of Chonglu, an auxiliary state, out of the city to sue for peace.
Outside the city, 200,000 Song troops had already set up a company camp and surrounded Kaijing, and in the big tent of the Chinese army, Guo Kui, who knew Goryeo better, was introducing the situation of Goryeo to Fanning.
"Goryeo's army is about 400,000, but it is relatively scattered, there are 100,000 troops in the north of Pyongyang, and there are more than 100,000 troops in the south to fight against Japan, and the strength of the capital is generally maintained at about 200,000, last time they sent 50,000 troops to escort hundreds of thousands of Bohai people back to their hometowns, so the most troops in the city are only 100,000, and now we have completely annihilated 80,000 people, and the troops in the city can no longer hold the city."
Next to him, Han Jiang asked, "Does Your Highness plan to take this opportunity to destroy Goryeo?" ”
Fan Ning shook his head, "The Son of Heaven means punishment, there is no need to destroy the country, Goryeo was originally a subject country of the Great Song Dynasty, and after teaching him a hard lesson, he will be obedient in the future." ”
Han Jiang asked again: "It is estimated that Wang Hui will soon send someone to sue for peace, how does His Highness plan to make a price?" ”
Fan Ning said: "First of all, Goryeo wants to apologize to the Great Song Dynasty, and the attitude must be sincere, secondly, the military expenses of the Song army this time are to be borne by the other party, I think it will cost at least one million taels of silver, and the third is the resettlement fee of the Bohai people, he sent hundreds of thousands of people to the Great Song Dynasty, and asked us to settle them, of course, they need to pay for it, and this item is at least one million taels, fourth, we have been operating on the island for many years, so we will directly cede it to the Great Song Dynasty, and fifth, they must withdraw their troops from the homeland of the Bohai Kingdom, and at the same time hand over the list of nobles of the Bohai Kingdom, just these five articles, As long as they agreed, the status quo ante would be restored, and the Song army would break through Kaijing and invite the king of Goryeo to Bianliang as a guest. ”
At this time, a soldier said outside the account: "The envoy sent by the king of Goryeo in the city has arrived, and he has come to ask to see His Highness!" ”
Sure enough, Fan Ning smiled at Han Jiang and said, "Just ask Han Gong to negotiate with them, which is the five I just said." ”
Han Jiang nodded and went out, Guo Kui said: "His Royal Highness's conditions are harsh, will they agree?" ”
"Harsh?"
Fanning shook his head and said, "It's nothing more than asking them to pay two million taels of silver, and they can take it." ”
"What about the hundreds of thousands of Bohai people?"
Fan Ning sneered and said: "The two-handed strategy, one is soft and the other is hard, all the nobles inside must be suppressed and cleaned up, and the ordinary people will be easier to deal with." ”
In the afternoon, the Goryeo envoy came to the camp again and brought the exact news.
Han Jiang smiled and said: "It seems that the five conditions put forward by His Highness are not high, and the other party has agreed, but it is just to cede Shenmi Island and change it to an unconditional permanent station, is this okay?" ”
Fan Ning took a few steps and said, "But it's okay, but my side gave in, what about the other party?" ”
Han Jiang said: "In this regard, I proposed to increase the resettlement money of the Bohai people to two million taels of silver, and the other party also agreed. ”
Fanning nodded, "How are they going to fulfill the other conditions?" ”
"They will send the military expenses soon, as for the apology, Wang Hui will send his son to meet the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to ask for his guilt, and then they will send the placement fee of two million taels of silver."
"And a list!" Fanning reminded.
Han Jiang handed a scroll in his hand to Fan Ning, "This is the list of nobles of the Bohai people, a total of four hundred and forty-seven people. ”
Fan Ning opened the scroll and saw that it was full of dense names, some years, not just concocted, he nodded, "These people have to confirm them one by one." ”
"And a copy of this!"
Han Jiang handed another scroll to Fanning, who unfolded it as an edict allowing the Song army to be stationed permanently and unconditionally on the island.
Soon after, three million taels of silver were brought from the city in ox-carts.
It could be seen that the Goryeo court was very anxious and hoped that the Song army would evacuate as soon as possible, but Fan Ning hesitated a little and discussed with Han Jiang: "Do you think Han Gong should we meet the king of Goryeo?" ”
Han Jiang thought for a while and said: "If the Son of Heaven of Goryeo comes out of the city to see His Highness, it means that Goryeo has surrendered, and this nature is a bit serious, in fact, I think it is best to deal with it now, teach them a hard lesson, and leave a little thin face for Goryeo, Your Highness, I suggest that it stop here, after all, more than 60,000 people have been killed by the other party." ”
Fan Ning nodded, "Then according to Han Gong's words!" ”
Early the next morning, the Song army retreated outside the city, and thousands of warships also left Kaijing Bay one after another, confirming that the Song army had left, the soldiers and civilians in the city rushed out, dug out the buried corpses, and carried out the burial of the corpses, and paid tribute, the city cried, and Wang Hui ordered the establishment of the Martyrs' Shrine, and moved the names of more than 60,000 people into the Martyrs' Shrine, enjoying the worship at four o'clock and so on.
