Chapter 397: Exchanging the Queen for Gou An (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )
…
In terms of training and equipment, and even in terms of combat will, it is obvious that the Beifu Army and the Nanfu Army are superior.
However, the Beifu Army and the Nanfu Army were the Great Qiannan Army, and there were no too good cavalry.
Later, Li Zheng also deliberately downplayed the development of cavalry in the construction of the Southern Army of the Great Qian, mainly because there were too many excellent cavalry in the Northern Army of the Great Qian, and there was really no need to waste time and effort to engage in cavalry in the Southern Army of the Great Qiannan, which was not good at cavalry shooting, and the terrain in the south of the Great Qian Dynasty was not suitable for cavalry combat.
In addition, it was also very laborious to let the war horse cross the river at this time.
This makes the Beifu Army and the Nanfu Army basically have no cavalry at this moment, only infantry troops.
On the other hand, the Goryeo Kyung army had cavalry that could crush the infantry with mobility and collision power, and there were quite a few of them.
As a result, the battle between the two sides became somewhat evenly matched.
As a result, as Sun He had predicted in advance, the battle turned into a flesh mill, and the battle was fought over which of the two sides had the stronger willpower to fight.
The two sides fought from noon to dusk, and the water of the Han River was dyed red with the blood of soldiers on both sides.
By the time the signal soldiers sent by Sun He to ask for help arrived at the battlefield with the lightly armed Xifu army, the Qianjun army and the Goryeo Jing army had already been inseparable, with countless casualties and corpses everywhere.
As far as the eye could see, the remnants of the sun shimmered brightly on the severed heads, arms, legs, feet, and arms. The horses and mutilated corpses that fell to the ground were strewn in a frightening appearance. The dead officers and men of the Goryeo Kyung Army were all lying together, and they could only be distinguished from their clothes which were the officers and soldiers of the Goryeo Kyung Army, and the air was filled with a thick and disgusting smell of blood.
In the event of the unfortunate defeat of the Beifu army and the Nanfu army, he would order an indiscriminate covering strike on the battlefield to ensure that the Goryeo Jing army would never achieve the final victory in this battle.
Seeing that the battle situation was so tragic, the Xifu army was under control of Qi Fang, and he did not dare to slack off, so he immediately ordered: "The whole army charges!" ”
With the characteristic sound of the horn of the cadre army, the 17,000 Xifu troops (the other 3,000 Xifu troops were still slowly escorting supplies behind) all rushed into the Han River, and then crossed the river as fast as possible, preparing to participate in the battle.
The officers and men of the Goryeo Jing Army, who had been terrified by the Beifu Army and the Nanfu Army, saw that the Qianjun army had come to reinforce the army, and they all knew that the general situation had gone, so they fled from the battlefield one after another, and then fled in the direction of Kaekyung......
The Beifu Army and the Nanfu Army won this difficult and crucial battle.
By the time Qi Fang saw Kong Suzi and Sun He, Sun He was already lying in a pool of blood, not knowing life and death, and Kong Suzi was also covered in bruises, with no less than five arrows stuck in his body.
Seeing Qi Fang coming, Kong was stunned and barely squeezed out a hearty smile and said, "You kid is really fucking lucky, Lao Tzu...... Lao Tzu and Sun Monkey, put the ...... Marry the bride...... Marry back, ...... Big deals, and ...... He worshipped again, and the result was ...... And they called you kid...... but he put thee boy into the cave room. ”
Qi Fang came to Kong Suanzi's side, and saw that Kong Suanzi was not lightly injured, but there seemed to be no fatal injuries on his body, so he said solemnly: "Next time I marry a daughter-in-law and ask you and Sun He to enter the cave room, this time I will take advantage of you and Sun He." ”
Kong was stunned and said weakly: "Okay, a word...... Deal. ”
At this time, Sun He, who was already tired and collapsed, opened his eyes and said, "Don't live up to it...... If you live up to the respect of the official family for me and other old brothers, don't fall for it...... Fallen to the prestige of our Southern Army. ”
Qi Fang agreed without any hint: "Don't worry, if you can't beat the capital of Goryeo and catch the king of Goryeo, I, Qi Fang, will twist my head off and kick the two of you as a ball!" ”
After finishing speaking, Qi Fang said loudly: "The men with the leaders of the Xifu army, the brothers of the Beifu army and the Nanfu army have already gnawed the hard bones for us, and the capital of Goryeo is in front, what should my Xifu army do?!" ”
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Tiger Tiger Tiger!"
"There is no enemy and no self! I'm invincible! ”
“……”
After crossing the Han River, the Xifu Army made a simple rest, and immediately continued to march towards Kaijing with the artillery battalions of the Beifu Army and the Nanfu Army, as well as baggage......
……
The situation was so urgent that Wang Kai and the civil and military ministers of the Goryeo Dynasty did not dare to go home, so they simply worked and rested in the Goryeo royal palace so that they could hold meetings in time, communicate the situation, study countermeasures, and anxiously wait for the news from the front.
In the early morning of the second day of the fifth lunar month, the news came that the frontline battle was not good and that the Han River might be lost.
When Wang Kaijun heard this, he was all shocked.
Immediately after that, more and more news came back.
At the time of Choo, the Goryeo Gyeong's army was defeated, and the news of the dangerous loss of the Han River reached the Goryeo court.
The offensive of the Qianjun army was as fierce as a storm, and now it was approaching the capital of the Goryeo Dynasty.
After hearing the news, the atmosphere in the palace of Goryeo suddenly became extremely flustered.
Wang Kai and the civil and military ministers of the Goryeo Dynasty all became panicked!
Some people advocate that Wang Kai hurriedly took the crown prince Wang Hui to leave Kaijing, and at least sent someone to send Wang Hui to Xijing first.
Some people advocated that important ministers should be immediately sent to negotiate peace with the Great Qian Dynasty to prevent the cadres from continuing their offensive.
There are also people who advocate that we should speed up the recruitment of troops, strengthen the city defenses, and clear the wilderness.
Now, Wang Kaijun and his ministers all know that this may be the biggest challenge facing the Goryeo Dynasty in the past 200 years, and failure may mean the fall of the Goryeo Dynasty.
It is not clear why the Qianjun attacked at this time, but it is clear that this was a long-planned war, and the Qianjun were well prepared to capture the capital of the Goryeo Dynasty in one fell swoop, and even destroy the Goryeo Dynasty.
In the face of such a strong enemy, Wang Kai clearly knew that if he didn't deal with it properly, Yelu Yanxi and Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and his son would only be a lesson for him.
Wang Kai didn't want to run, nor did he want to send his eldest son, Wang Hui, the crown prince of Goryeo, to Xijing just in case, but the Qianjun left the capital so close that their father and son had no chance to escape.
The key is still that reason, if Wanyan Xian'er doesn't nod, it will be impossible for Wang Kai and his son to even escape from the Goryeo Palace, let alone escape from Kaijing to Xijing.
In desperation, Wang Kai could only send important ministers to negotiate peace with the Daqian Dynasty to prevent the Daqian Dynasty from continuing to march, and at the same time send people to mobilize the local army of the Goryeo Dynasty, the western army of the Goryeo Dynasty, and the army of the Goryeo Dynasty who went to the Jin Kingdom to help the war to come back to King Qin's rescue.
That night, in the depths of the Goryeo royal palace, the lights were bright, and a group of Goryeo civil and military ministers sat around, all of them with solemn faces, some bowing their heads in contemplation, and some arguing with red faces and arguing about countermeasures.
On this night, they repeatedly discussed, studied every possible strategy, figured out the intentions of the Great Qian Dynasty, and looked for ways to resist the Qian's army.
Yet, despite their sleepless nights, despite their distractions, they were at a loss.
The sky is getting brighter, and the lights in the palace are still bright.
At this time, the ministers of the Goryeo Dynasty were exhausted, but they remained at their posts, ready to deal with the uncertainties that were coming.
At the same time, a large number of military attaches of the Goryeo Dynasty were sent by Wang Kai to restrain the rout of the Goryeo Jing army, and brought them into Kaeongseong, where they stood firm and waited for reinforcements together with the soldiers and civilians in Kaeongseong......
By 10 o'clock in the morning, the rangers of the Qianjun army had already appeared under the capital of Kaijing.
The atmosphere of war immediately completely enveloped the skies over Kaekyo and the hearts of the people in Kaejo.
Although at this time, even the Goryeo Jing Army, the Jin Army, and the Wangjun temporarily recruited by the Goryeo Imperial Court in Kaijing City had almost 50,000 horses.
But the Goryeo court still couldn't help but be worried.
In order to further grasp the initiative, just in case, Wang Kai, who really messed up the formation, did not discuss with Yan Xian'er again this time, and made adjustments to the ruling team of the Goryeo court.
Through this adjustment, Wang Kai promoted Jin Fushi and other royalists to ruling ministers, and excluded Zheng Zhichang and other ministers who were close to the Jin people and listened to Yan Xian'er's orders from the core ministers.
At the same time, Wang Kai also made adjustments to the command structure of the defense of the city, set up the official positions of deputy envoy and below in the capital guard, and personally met with the main generals of the second army of the Goryeo Jing Army (i.e., the Eagle Yang Army and the Dragon and Tiger Army), and rewarded them with a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and won their hearts.
At the suggestion of Jin Fushi, Wang Kai led the new ruling team to inspect the city and go to various city walls to ask for warmth.
After returning to the Goryeo Palace, Jin Fushi and others suggested to Wang Kai that the leadership of the city defense must be strengthened.
Therefore, Wang Kai ordered that a member of the promotion officer be added to each city wall, and a clan was arranged to serve as the same promotion; For each gate, a clan was assigned to be responsible for opening and closing the gate. In addition, it was also arranged at the gates of the city to suppress the commanders, who were numerous and invincible.
The official name of Kaijing City is actually called "Luo Cheng", the city foundation is 19,700 steps, 22 gates, and it was built by 304,400 people after many years.
With such a large defensive area, it is obviously not enough to rely on 50,000 horses in the city to defend it.
In a hurry, it is impossible for reinforcements from all sides to arrive immediately.
What to do?
If there is no one, how can you defend the city?
Wang Kai and his newly promoted ministers decided to confer supplementary official positions on those who had participated in the martial arts examination and achieved excellent results, so that they could ascend to the city to defend the palace; He also chose to have a little martial arts in Beijing and a strategic person from the country, a total of more than 100 people, who were awarded the position of acting official and also went to the city to guard the palace.
There are already a lot of officials, but the number of soldiers is still insufficient, which makes Wang Kaijun and his ministers deeply worried.
After some research, Wang Kaijunchen decided to temporarily recruit troops from Luocheng again, and in addition, requisition all the slaves and maids of the families of the nobles and nobles of the Goryeo to go to the city wall, divide them into categories, carry out formation and management, and then distribute them to various city walls.
……
The cadres are about to come to the city, and there are many rumors in the market in the opening of the capital, that is, Luocheng, and the army and the people are turbulent.
The Goryeo court was deeply troubled by this, and was worried that after Luocheng was besieged by the cadres again, the people's sentiment would suddenly change and there would be turmoil.
In order to appease the military and the people and stabilize the situation, Wang Kai specially issued an edict:
"I have repeatedly sent envoys to communicate with the great cadres, and the envoys have crossed the road. However, the enemy is not stopped, and the generals have not been able to cooperate, and the soldiers and civilians in the city are expected to take warning. I have summoned soldiers and horses from all towns to help defend the royal family. In Beijing, the military and civilians should feel the will and do nothing to disturb them. ”
And at this moment, Wanyan Xian'er, who had fully understood the battle of the Han River, sent his henchmen to find Wang Kai secretly and said to Wang Kai: "The general trend is gone, the king and his concubines should take their families north under the protection of their cronies, so that there will be a trace of vitality." ”
It should be said that the people who persuaded Wang Kai to leave Beijing temporarily at this time were all sober-minded and relatively sober-minded.
Although Wanyan Xian'er is a woman, she is also very sober-minded, and when she knew that it was impossible to do anything, she proposed to leave with Wang Kai and their families.
But Wang Kai thinks that leaving at this time is too dangerous, especially with his family, you know, many of his concubines and children are not like Wanyan Xian'er, they grew up on horseback, they don't know how to ride horses, it is himself, and his riding skills are not so exquisite, and the Daqian Dynasty, which has already recovered the Yanyun area and Shaanxi Liulu, has a lot of horsemen who are good at riding and shooting, and it is easy to catch their family.
Also, now that the main battle faction of the Goryeo Dynasty has military power in their hands, if they oppose Wang Kai's departure from Kaijing, will Wang Kai be able to go?
The key is that Wang Kai still harbors a kind of luck and fantasy psychology.
- What he was fortunate for was that with the strong defense of Luocheng, the cadres could not enter the city; What he fantasized about was that the people he sent to negotiate peace with the Daqian Dynasty would succeed, and then the Goryeo Dynasty would pay some price, and the Qianjun would return to China, just like the Jin army that had already arrived in the city. Or soon, the army of King Qin of the Goryeo Dynasty will gather from all directions to confront the Qianjun army and force the Daqian Dynasty to negotiate peace with the Goryeo Dynasty.
It was under such a psychology that Wang Kai gave up the last chance to escape.
At the same time, Wang Kai ordered that all the gates of Goryeo be closed, and no one was allowed to leave Naseong, vowing to live and die with Naseong!
……
Soon, the Xifu army arrived at the city of Luocheng one after another.
Qi Fang, who took over Kong Suanzi and Sun He's class, was originally going to fight when he came up, and directly bombarded the gate of Cailuo City with cannons, and captured Wang Kai alive.
However, without waiting for Qi Fang to make a move, the order of Zhao Li, the commander-in-chief who was still on the road, came.
Zhao Li ordered Qi Fang to besiege but not attack, wait for the arrival of the large army, and see if he could take Luocheng without blood.
According to Zhao Li's words: "Go to the army and plot." ”
There was no way, Qi Fang could only block the escape road of the people in Luocheng with the Xifu army, and patrol around Luocheng with his few cavalry, so that the people in Luocheng did not dare to go out of the city.
Soon after, more and more cadres came to Luocheng City.
Soon, the real cavalry, including the vanguard battalion of the first army of the Daqian Dynasty, also came to Luocheng.
At this time, the people in Luo City really couldn't leave.
……
On the evening of May 6.
Wang Kai personally climbed the city wall and looked down.
At this time, there were already hundreds of thousands of cadres under the city, and they surrounded Luocheng.
-- In fact, the real strength of the cadre army at this time was less than 200,000. However, among the cadres and soldiers, there were many people composed of Goryeo civilians and Goryeo slaves and maids mobilized by the Great Qian Dynasty, and they were also among the cadres. In addition, the main force of the cadre army gradually dispersed, and a number of military fortresses were set up on the four walls of Luocheng to close the four corners of Luocheng. There are many military villages in the cadre army, some large and some small, and there are many of them. The cadres also openly held banners in the suburbs and went back and forth between the military villages. In other words, the cadres and troops put out a loose formation. This makes it seem that there are hundreds of thousands of people in the cadre army.
The Goryeo soldiers and civilians in Luocheng stood on the city wall, and they all remembered the situation of the cadres outside the city, and they all had fear in their eyes, even Wang Kai was no exception.
At this time, Wang Kai suddenly received a report that the Daqian Dynasty had sent four envoys, and the leading envoy was named Wang Lun.
Wang Kai hurriedly asked Jin Fushi's younger brother Jin Fuzhe to serve as the accompanying envoy of the pavilion, and asked them to arrange the envoys of the Daqian Dynasty in the post house, so that they could inquire about the attitude of the Daqian Dynasty.
Wang Lun and the others were sent by Yu Guang, and they were nominally here to promote peace, but in fact they came to investigate the reality of the city and the attitude of the Goryeo Dynasty.
After entering the city, Wang Lun and others found that although Goryeo was a small country in Dongyi, the streets in its capital city Luocheng were wide and tidy, and the market life was very lively, which showed that the country must be very rich.
But at the same time, Wang Lun and the others also sensed the tense atmosphere in the city and the caution that was everywhere.
Jin Fuzhe smiled and asked, "I don't know what the ambassador has to teach you?" ”
Wang Lun retracted his gaze and said to Jin Fuzhe: "I have sent Yu Xianggong, the envoy of the Goryeo system, and sent Lun and others to report that Zhao Xianggong, the marshal of the Goryeo Metropolitan of Goryeo, had arrived last night and wanted to invite the king of Goryeo to go out of the city to talk about Goryeo's repeated offenses against my Daqian. ”
Jin Fuzhe replied: "Previously, what I did in Goryeo was forced by the Jin people, which was not my original intention in Goryeo. You don't know, the Jin people hit my Goryeo capital ten years ago, I Goryeo was forced to have no choice, had to sign an alliance with the city, was extorted a large amount of gold and silver wealth women not to mention, the Jin people later deposed my Goryeo queen, to the Jin princess filled. The princess of the Jin Kingdom married to Goryeo, that is, the curtain listened to the government, and then I Goryeo, no matter how big or small, everything was decided by the Jin people, and the king of my family had no autonomy since then, so he could only promise to protect himself.
Meeting with the marshal of your country is certainly harmless, but things are not going well, and it is difficult to become a household name. When the people of the capital see that your army is approaching the capital, how can they allow my king's car to drive out of the suburbs? The marshal of your country has come from afar, and he only wants to not lose his trust with each other. However, if you promise to be the marshal of your country, but you are surrounded by the residents of Shishu and cannot leave the city by car, will you not lose your trust in the marshal of your country? This is even more unsettling. ”
After hearing this, Wang Lun said: "This is an inevitable thing, otherwise how can the affairs of the two countries be solved?" ”
Jin Fuzhen couldn't make the decision, so he had to go to the palace to ask for instructions.
At this time, Wang Kai was plotting with Jin Fushi and other Goryeo royalists how to kill the Meng'an Jin people in the city, completely regain Wang Kai's royal power, and then use this as a name to negotiate peace with the Daqian Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, Wang Kaijun's ministers are pointing at Yan Xian'er, and they are going to take Yan Xian'er in exchange for Wang Kai's safety and Gou An of the Goryeo Dynasty......
