Chapter 534 Finale (2)

"General Wang, it's not good. Cavalry came from the lazy land." A soldier hurriedly reported to Wang Lie, the "Lord of Tokyo" of Goryeo.

“How many people are there?”

"I don't know, many people are about to get to the city."

"Prepare for security and close the city gate," Wang Lie shouted angrily.

He scolded the school official on Ma Jiling in his heart.

The clay Buddha was still angry, and the great Song Dynasty officials heard that they beat several official Song Dynasty officials, Wang Lie knew something was wrong, and the enemy was attacking them.

Needless to guess, we also know that it was Lu Maoduo's troops and the Song army. This was a tribe that was very close to the Jurchens. They had resisted the attack of the Liao Kingdom with Wu Xuanming. They did not hide again until Wu Xuanming failed. They were forced to repay the situation by the Liao army. However, as soon as the Song army arrived, they immediately sent an envoy to meet the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. It was said that his leader was also granted the position of Grand Commander General by the Song Dynasty.

It was this experience that no matter what means they used to win over, they did not turn against Goryeo. The scope they distributed was at the foot of Changbai Mountain, including Helandian, so the news was not leaked until the Song army came to the city.

But he never expected that from this day on, Goryeo would start another day.

He used to think that the Song Dynasty was a fool, but when the Song army was really here, Wang Lai knew that the Song army should not be underestimated. After all, it destroyed the powerful Liao army. Moreover, in the north, he had only a few thousand troops, so he was not the opponent of the Song army. Even if the Song army did not take action, the Jurchens and other troops united together and ate their own army.

Therefore, while running out, he ordered, and said, "Send an envoy back to Kaijing immediately and report to Your Majesty."

But it's really late.

Not only the army outside the city, they have a good appetite and are not afraid of slapping their teeth, but they are too unfamiliar with them here, including the people.

Wang Lie had just arrived at the city gate and had not yet climbed to the top of the city. A group of plainclothes men came over with weapons in their hands.

There were hundreds of people, and there were hundreds of people, which one had the intention to count? They were divided into two, and some rushed towards the king's leopard. Some rushed towards the city.

The number of people was not too large, and they were not wearing armor, so the threat was not great. However, the cavalry outside the city was about to come to the city, and the Goryeo officers and soldiers in the city were in chaos. How many people were in the mood to fight bloody battles with these big men?

Wang Lai has not been killed for the time being under the protection of the guards, but after the tenacious efforts of these big men, the city gate has not been closed.

The cavalry had rushed to the city and rushed into the city quickly.

Liaodong is fat, but not so delicious. When the Song Dynasty got Zhuozhou, it was impossible to defend because it was separated by a Juma River. The Song Dynasty finally abandoned it voluntarily, and Yizhou was closer to the Song territory and abandoned it. Besides, it was so far from Goryeo...

But this is not the main force of the Song Dynasty.

Wang Lie guessed most of the time, and the Song Dynasty sent cavalry over, but most of them were coalition forces of Lu Maoduo's ethnic groups.

However, it is enough to deal with this group of Goryeo soldiers hanging in the north.

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

There are many disadvantages in this military use.

It is difficult to get support from the court. You can only take action first and then report. But in that case, you can only win but not lose. Otherwise, Song Jiu will leave the Northeast in shame. The same is the same, but the results of the two methods are different. It will bring a series of bad consequences. The court's policies will even become restrained again, and they may even give up more land in the Northeast.

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

Goryeo can be arrogant, but Song Jiu cannot be arrogant.

At this time, the use of troops was deep, and the time for the Song Dynasty to mobilize troops was very short, and it was not even possible to make a solid city. Then the ice and snow began, and the troops had to withdraw in depression.

However, there are also reasons for the movement of troops. First, the court changes, forcing Song Jiu to use troops. Second, he heard a useful news that Jin Zhiyang, the important minister of Goryeo, seemed to be a very "thinking". Third, the movement of troops at this time, the Goryeo people could not think of it at all, and they would not be careful if they could not think of it.

Three places used troops almost at the same time.

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

Thanks to the Liao Kingdom, although the Liao Kingdom wanted to appease the Goryeo people and gave up the plain hundreds of miles east of the Yalu River. This hundreds of miles refers to a radius, but in fact there are thousands or even tens of thousands of square kilometers. Fortunately, the only thing that was given up was the southwest plain area, and the northeast mountainous area was not given up, including the Luzhou City on the east side of the Yalu River.

Guarding by the Yalu River is Kang Zhao, the number one general of Goryeo.

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

However, almost as the Song army attacked the city of "Goryeo Tokyo", a large number of Song troops rushed towards the Yalu River.

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

However, although the autumn water began to calm at this time, if you want to cross the river, you must build a floating bridge. Therefore, many soldiers were logging and building bridges.

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

In fact, Goryeo should not be extravagant. After all, it is neighbors with the Song Dynasty. The Song people regard harmony as the most important thing, and they are not aggressive. They are at least a good neighbor.

It is indeed not bad. Since the Song Dynasty, China has been a good neighbor most of the time, and harmony is the key. After China has become a good neighbor, the neighbors have begun to become evil neighbors.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty had a developed business, and a large number of sea ships that went to Japan to conduct business must be transferred from Goryeo. In the future, sea ships that may go to Liaodong must also be transferred from Goryeo, which brought a lot of wealth to Goryeo.

First, the place on the west side of Helanchuan is almost the same. Why do you need to enter the boundary east of Helanchuan?

However, when Song Jun came, he thought so, what had he done long ago?

As ships came from the sea, the estuary of the Yalu River was very wide, and there were many islands, some of which were not small in size. When the Liao Kingdom was there, the Goryeo people did not dare to occupy it. However, when the Song Dynasty came, the Goryeo people also gradually eroded it.

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

It seems that these islands that were also controlled by China in later generations were also let go by a wave of their hands for friendship. The area of ​​these dozens of islands is not small. Together, they are at least more than 1,000 square kilometers, and this stroke directly leads to the disappearance of the estuary of Jilin.

Then he saw a small number of garrisons of the Goryeo people above.

This added another portion of his disgusting portion to the Goryeo people.

If you want to attack the Yalu River, you must take down these Jiangxin Islands.

So one ship after another arrived.

"Send more reinforcements to the table." Kang Zhao shouted.

Whether these small broken islands are not important, but once the Song army is occupied, they can cross the river at any time.

But many ships dropped giant anchors, and then soldiers stood on the boat and fired arrows, even carrying small artillery out, and fired at reinforcements on Jiangxin Island at Goryeo.

Many more ships forced their way towards the shore, and fully armed soldiers rushed off the warship.

Within a day, one island after another was taken back by the Song army, and then one floating bridge after another was built.

In the evening, the Song army had not stopped attacking. As the islands were retracted, the Song army stepped onto the islands in the middle of the river. The ships turned around and aimed at the east coast. The crossbows and artillery kept firing, especially those artillery, with a range of more than 1,000 meters, forcing the Goryeo people to retreat step by step. The Song army began to forcefully seize the beach. It was not until dark that the Song army set up camps on the beach and the two armies quit.

The next day, they continued to fight bloody battles, but with a large number of reinforcements from the rear arrived, the Goryeo finally stabilized the formation, and even several beaches were recaptured by Goryeo.

Just when both armies felt a little tired in the afternoon, suddenly there was a lot of dust coming from the north, and one after another of the Song army light cavalry came from the rear, including the most powerful Xianping army.

It should be said that Kang Zhao was also a military-capable general. Under his dispatch, he stabilized the formation again and kept the Song army in half.

"Good opportunity." He shouted happily.

Then dispatched again, while sending troops to press the Song army on various beaches, sending heavy troops to try to kill the light cavalry with more attacks.

But there was another dust fog rising behind, and this time, the god of death came.

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

It may be that their function will decrease when placed in the desert, but in the flat land on the east side of the Yalu River, they immediately turned into an invincible place during the field battle.

Allowing the Goryeo bow and arrow shooting, thousands of Beiwei troops calmly entered the Goryeo army, and then kept waving the knife in their hands, harvesting, just like thousands of death sickles, harvesting the lives of one Goryeo soldiers after another.

At the same time, the light cavalry who were forced to retreat behind 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 floating bridge and rushed to the east coast.

As the sky approached dusk, the Korean formation finally became chaotic under the fierce impact of the Song army. In the end, the three armies could not bear the pressure and did not listen to Kang Zhao's mobilization and fled to the rear frantically.

The collapse begins.

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

However, in order to achieve hidden goals, they mostly came lightly, and there was a serious lack of food, grass, weapons and supplies. After taking down the east bank of the Yalu River, the Song army was unable to continue the attack. This gave Kang Zhao time, and then organized the defeated army in the rear and asked Kaijing for help.

However, something really happened in Kaijing.

...

When Jin Wenzhong talked with Jin Zhiyang, a dispute was taking place outside the capital.

As the weather gradually became colder, there were many ships on Licheng Port. For example, a small number of ships that began to sail towards the entrance of the Huntong River had to return before the frozen river. So they came to Kaijing to stop and supplement the supply. There were also ships to Japan who also had to go to Japan before the frozen river, where to spend the winter.

The Goryeo people were close to the Song Dynasty, and then they learned from the Song Dynasty and set up the Maritime Bureau to collect taxes, which was a little heavy. It was a little better before, but now it is getting more and more excessive. Even if they stop to replenish the supply and do not trade, they are forced to pay taxes.

It has nothing to do with a big country. If the battle initiated by Song Jiu fails, China will still be like in history. It is a big country, but it is not as good as a small country.

On this point, Song Jiu also deliberately wrote in his memorial to report this battle that it is good to transform the people, but don’t fool the people into rabbits. Maybe the rabbits have good reproduction ability, so no matter how they are slaughtered, it will not be extinct. But in that case, as a citizen of this race, it will be a shame to live. Don’t ask why Goryeo did this. No matter how many rabbits there are, even if there are 10 billion rabbits, can Goryeo people be afraid?

This is a bit radical. Zhao Heng is also kind-hearted and unwilling to launch more wars, which will cause more trauma to the people. However, there is a slight trend.

But there are many people with blood in the Song Dynasty.

So the conflict began.

Several ships leaned down and wanted to go ashore to buy some supplies, the Goryeo tax officer came with the soldiers.

The leading businessmen argued with them. If we don’t trade, why should we collect taxes?

The tax official sneered that if you don’t trade and dock, you have to pay taxes. This is the rule of the Goryeo people. If you dock in the Goryeo port, you have to follow the rules of the Goryeo.

Then let's leave.

It wouldn't be possible to leave, and several Goryeo soldiers pushed him.

This angered some sailors on the ship and pushed the soldiers at the same time. The tax officer shouted to the shore and called more soldiers to come up and prepare to arrest them. Of course, there are many benefits. Once arrested, not only will the people on the ship be sent to the prison and collect ransoms, but their wealth can also be confiscated. Anyway, the Song monarchs and ministers on the other side of the sea regard peace as the most important thing, and they do not want to cause trouble and do not care about it. This is not the first time I have done this, I have done more than a dozen times this year.
