An urgent gong sound spread throughout the city, and the city of Kaizhou immediately entered a state of defense, when the Goryeo army entered the distance less than five miles away from the city, suddenly the head of the city of Kaizhou sounded a cannon, the east gate of the city was wide open, and a team of people and horses poured out from about 5,000 people, but there were a lot of flags! One of the most eye-catching flags is the big flag with "gold" written on it.

In the past, the Liao army and the Jin soldiers fought each other, and the other side was cavalry, so the Goryeo army used more pikemen and more archers, but after several defeats, the Koreans summed up the lessons and formed a long sword army.

This kind of long knife soldier is holding the kind of knife similar to the shape of the Great Song Pu knife, but the width of the knife is narrower, and many of them belong to the tied knife, that is, the Dan knife is directly tied in a longer wooden stick, this kind of long knife soldier has played a great role in several wars against Liao, and the long knife can cut the horse's legs!

The Goryeo army also had cavalry, but the Korean Peninsula was not very rich in horses, and the number of horse troops was limited, so under normal circumstances, only generals could ride horses, and the Jurchen warriors who accompanied the army rode horses, and these people were not organized and only acted under the leadership of the leader, so they were the most special group.

The two sides lined up and were ready to fight, but at this time, the camp of the Dongdan defenders suddenly became chaotic, and gradually divided into two parts, and the cavalry flashed directly from the middle, and the cavalry was assembling a large group, it seems that the Dongdan army is ready to fight with cavalry, seeing this situation, Yin Qian is very happy, and their fire bull array can come in handy again!

The Dongdan cavalry was led by Yelu Yungu, more than 10,000 people lined up in an arrow-shaped formation, and now the two sides are less than three miles apart, and the formation has all begun to press up, at a distance of less than two miles, it is just a good distance for the cavalry to charge, but the Goryeo army wants to play a little tradition, so it actually sent people to challenge.

This is the rule of ancient warfare, the generals of both sides stepped forward to fight, and then the armies of both sides fought in the formation, but after the Song Dynasty, this model has been basically eliminated, and it is the Khitan iron cavalry of the Great Liao State that has changed this combat situation.

Large-scale cavalry charges or corps battles, often through the rapid assault of the cavalry to determine the victory, the battle of the general Dan pick the good show gradually will not be seen, the generals of that era in addition to familiar with the military books, but also to study the terrain, combat intelligence, etc., on their own martial arts are no longer harsh requirements.

As a result, there were many Confucian generals during that period, and the literati leading troops also became a phenomenon that was more acceptable to the Great Song Dynasty and some neighboring countries around it, especially the dynasty like the Great Song Dynasty, which liked to use literature and imperial martial arts, was even more prominent.

Goryeo is a country that is very heavily influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, and many of their national systems and military models are still imitating the appearance of the Tang Dynasty, so there will be a behavior of letting the general step forward and fight alone, Xiao Ming was happy when he saw it, and called Guo Shouxin out from behind and sent him up, is it a weapon? Just use the Black God Crossbow!

And the one sent by Yin Qian is a famous samurai of Goryeo, and he is also his confidant and favorite general, named Quan Xiang Tie, this person has this good sword technique! is quite famous in the army, Yin Qian wants him to come up and give the Dongdan army a dismount first, and hit the morale of the Dongdan army.

The two war horses each ran out of their main formation, and each restrained their horses less than three zhang away, and Quan Tie raised his big sword and shouted: "Come and get your name!" A certain knife does not kill the nameless! ”

As soon as the words fell, Guo Shouxin shot off the horse with an arrow, and the crossbow arrow was shot directly into his mouth, and the person was killed at that time! Guo Shouxin didn't say a word, held his bow and crossbow and turned the horse's head and came back, and the Dongdan army immediately let out a cheer.

Yin Qian was furious! Just as he was about to wave his army forward to cover the kill, the cavalry of the Dongdan Army finally moved, only to hear a burst of drums, and the large group of men and horses were ready to charge, Yin Qian hurriedly ordered: "Fire Bull Formation!" Moving forward"

At this time, the soldiers from the back of the Goryeo army drove up thousands of cattle, all of which had sharp knives tied to their horns, and pine branches and fire oil were hung on their tails. Spread out the four hooves and rushed forward without a life.

The formation formed by the running of the herd is very amazing, the hooves rumble and roar, the earth is shaking, Yin Qian ordered the 70,000 troops to all press, follow behind to cover the killing, but this group of cattle in the middle of the run, suddenly all planted one by one fell into the ditch dug by Wu Song and the people.

"Boom ......!" After a few loud bangs, the cannon on the city of Kaizhou finally fired, and Qian Baguang divided the cannonballs into two batches according to Xiao Ming's request and hit them directly in front of the herd, as well as the rear of the Goryeo army, the violent explosion of the cannonballs immediately caused panic in the Goryeo army, because they were caught between the cattle and the rear army, they didn't know what was going on!

The Goryeo army in the rear army was frightened by the shells, what is this! Thunder roared, after a fire, not even the traces of the centaurs could be opened, and there was a large pit of black smoke on the ground, and suddenly someone found a human hand hanging on his shoulder, and then he screamed, and the crowd began to run forward desperately.

The roar of the cannon continued, and the army of 70,000 people was gradually driven to the front like a flock of sheep, and at this moment, a group of men and horses suddenly came out from both sides, all of them were holding big swords, and directly scattered and surrounded the two sides of the Goryeo army.

Yin Qian saw that the situation was not good, and urgently ordered the whole army to retreat, this is simply about to be made dumplings! The Goryeo army was in a mess, and did not listen to his orders at all, and Yin Qian slashed a few soldiers who were running around before gradually stabilizing the form, but the nightmare below began again, because at this time, the cavalry of the Dongdan army had rushed up.

A large number of Goryeo troops were driven around like ducks, and some of them followed Yin Qian to run backwards, and they didn't know how many people died among the chaotic army! Only the 20,000 warriors of the Jurchen tribe still have some combat effectiveness, and they are now entangled head-on with the cavalry of the Dongdan army, but they have little effect on the chaos.

Soon the army of tens of thousands of people was defeated, and the Goryeo people mixed with the Jurchens fled backwards as if they were desperate under artillery fire, this kind of scene, Xiao Ming has seen too much, and he is a little used to it! But this time it was different, because the Goryeo army couldn't escape, because they didn't run far before they ran into another cavalry waiting for them, and this cavalry was the 10,000 cavalry led by Han Shizhong!

The two cavalry forces were flanked by the army fleeing in panic, and this battle was already unfought! The Goryeo army was repeatedly attacked and cut by the cavalry, suffered heavy casualties, and finally all surrendered on their knees! In this battle, the Goryeo army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and more than 30,000 surrendered.

The only Jurchen warriors who caused trouble to the Dongdan army were basically cleaned up, and the Dongdan army saw the soldiers wearing animal skins go up with a knife, and finally cleaned up the battlefield, most of the dead corpses on the ground were Jurchen warriors, and the Goryeo people were the most trampled to death by their own people!

It's not the first time that Yelu Yungu has followed Xiao Ming to fight, what is strange to him is that this time they won again, and when there were only more than 30,000 people on their side, they still took the initiative to attack and defeat more than twice as many enemy troops as themselves head-on, how did this battle go, he was getting more and more confused!

Now the trouble is the work of catching prisoners, the rope prepared earlier by Yelu Yungu is almost useless this time, the Goryeo army has become very honest after surrendering, let them go how they go, and they don't dare to resist at all, these people turned out to be farmers, most of them were forcibly conscripted, not only the weapons were their own but even the clothes were their own, and the Goryeo army didn't care about anything except food, so that this army had to grab food first when it hit there.

It was also a very troublesome matter to select officers and generals from among the captives, but fortunately, there were interpreters in the Dongdan army who were proficient in Korean, and those Goryeo soldiers not only cooperated in other matters, but also cooperated in this matter, and they identified their officers and generals to others, including the general Yoon Qiang!

The interrogation of Yin Qian was carried out by Xiao Ming himself, he asked Yin Qian to loosen the tie first, and then poured him a cup of tea, Yin Qian was very ashamed and lowered his head and did not speak, Xiao Ming smiled: "General Yin is frightened!" I'll just ask you one question! I wonder if General Yin can answer? ”

Yin Qian had nothing to be stubborn at this point, so he replied: "The king, please speak, Yin knows everything!" ”

"Good! Let me ask you, I also had a cooperative friendship with the king of Goryeo, and you were also a vassal state of Daliao, why did you use swords and soldiers in vain this time? Could it be that I, Xiao Ming, have done something to be sorry for you King of Goryeo? ”

Yin Qian said: "King Rongyu, when the villain came, he received orders from Prince Min Jiang Handzan, and my king's will was also given by Prince Min Jiang Handzan, the villain is a martial artist, he will only act according to orders, I really don't know why I want to send troops to attack you!" ”

More than half of what he said was true, Xiao Ming didn't embarrass him, and ordered him to be taken down, so that he could not lack food and drink, Yin Qian knew that it might be difficult to die well this time, and his face couldn't help but be like ashes! But Xiao Ming did not kill him, but took him to Tokyo along with the starting point, the Goryeo prisoners of war he had captured.

After the Battle of Kaizhou, Xiao Mingming Han Shizhong led 10,000 cavalry to quickly recover Huifa City, which was captured by Goryeo, and then went all the way to the east, recovering Xuanzhou, Kaizhou, Muzhou and other places, and raided Yuancheng, it took only one day to take Yuancheng, cross the Yalu River to the border of Goryeo, at this time the border of Goryeo was still in the area south of the Yalu River, and Han Shizhong was waiting for further orders from Xiao Ming.

To tell the truth, Xiao Ming's troops were limited, and he couldn't make up his mind whether to attack Goryeo or not, so he sent the news of this great victory in Kaizhou to Kim Taizong in Huanglongfu in Dajin Kingdom in the form of a national letter, and he wanted to see the reaction of Jin and Goryeo.

After Jiang Handan learned the battle report of Yin Qiang's defeat in Kaizhou, he hurriedly reported the news to Yizong Li Minbo, but Li Minbo was greatly panicked, and then got Xiao Ming's report, accusing him of being greedy for profit and using swords in vain, and now Goryeo is defeated, capturing Yin Zong and tens of thousands of Goryeo troops, Xiao Ming asked him to take out 10,000 taels of gold to ransom people!

That's a bit of a dead end! How could Li Minbo get so much gold, so he asked Jiang Handan what to do? Jiang Handan gritted his teeth and said: "Now there are more than 200,000 government troops in Goryeo, basically all of them are in Xianjing Road and North Ping'an Province, and we will transfer the Hualang Army from South Yellow Sea Province to North Ping'an Province to defend the border, there should be no problem."

For the sake of safety, Jiang Hanzhan also transferred the government army of Gangwon Province and the general of the internal guard, Kim Zhongxin, to North Pyongan Province, this time the Goryeo Kingdom concentrated 250,000 troops, and Xiao Ming only had more than 30,000 troops, and Li Minbo now feels a little more at ease. At the same time, he replied and rejected Xiao Ming's request.

Xiao Ming was furious about the attitude of Goryeo! It seems that this time it didn't hurt the Koryo stick! They still needed another major military operation, so on the one hand, they distributed all the 2,000 rifles they carried to the new army, and on the other hand, they asked Yelu to display 20,000 cavalry on the border.

In the end, he used the flying kite to contact the Weihai base to transfer the Gu treasure ship that stayed there temporarily to Port Arthur, and at the same time he began to requisition merchant ships in Yingkou and Jinzhou.

Xiao Ming's series of actions are very confusing, and everyone doesn't know what he is going to do?

Only Xiao Ming personally explained to them that he was going to attack Goryeo by sea, and he was also going to land in Goryeo and go straight to the other party's capital, Kaesong! If you don't fight this time, you will be captured, and the king of Goryeo, Lee Min-bo, will also be captured!
