The struggle of the reborn prince

With the help of the Song Army, Xijing City temporarily stabilized the line of defense and opened the road to Kaijing. A large number of materials and military aid unloaded from Busan Port were transported to Xijing City one after another, and a large number of troops from the rear were transported to Xijing City by sea. behind enemy lines.Landed in Bochuan, quickly defeated the remaining Jin army, restored the defense line of the Great Wall, wiped out the Jinshui army, and trapped the main force of the Jin army under the city of Xijing.

The reversal of the situation gave Koryo's lord Wang Kai and the people of the court a group of hope of victory, but the Song army did not launch an attack for a long time. Instead, the two armies had conflicts because of the defense of Baozhou, but this did not make Koryo People are alerted.Gao Kai did not actively mediate the relationship between the two armies. Instead, he thought that as long as he relied on the power of the Song army to keep the reinforcements from the Jin Kingdom out of the country, he would be able to defeat the Jin army with his own strength, and then he could "send" the Song army back to the country. Take back Baozhou.

The terrain of Goryeo is a peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides, and only the north is connected to the mainland. Therefore, the focus of defense is naturally placed on the border area with Jin. Most of the standing army is used to guard the Great Wall on the border. They were cut off from the back by the Jinshui Army, and most of them were wiped out. It can be said that they suffered heavy losses, and the rear was empty. Human reinforcements.

Therefore, under the situation that the Song army was "cowardly fighting", Wang Kai recruited young and strong men to form an army of [-] people and marched to the vicinity of Xijing. He has surpassed the Jin army, but he didn't consider that these newly recruited soldiers in his army are just ordinary people who have put down their hoes and picked up swords and guns. They have not received military training at all, but these people have become the main force of the battle.But the Jin army who invaded Korea were all elite soldiers in their country.

Goryeo's national policy of emphasizing literature over military affairs was learned from the Song Dynasty.But it is blue out of blue and better than blue, and it has been brought to the extreme.The status of warriors is as low as the servants of civil servants, and they are regarded as actors and bodyguards performing martial arts.You can scold at will, or even greet with a 'big mouth' at every turn.The warriors can only swallow their anger and dare not speak out. Such an army's morale and combat effectiveness can be imagined. Of course, the warriors have no right to participate in such a high-end matter as formulating a battle plan.

But Wang Kai didn't care about these little things, but was very excited about his bold idea, because it was planned by the king of the country, and a group of civil servants who knew little about war were the chief director.Hiding in the house and facing the map, he made a plan to encircle both the north and the south, and wipe out the enemy outside the city of Xijing...

Wang Sui's crown prince has been a prince for a long time, but he only has the role of listening to politics in the palace, that is, he has no actual experience in governing, let alone leading troops in battle, and of course he has no power in his hands.Hearing that Goryeo was going to send troops to Bochuan with the Song army to defend the Great Wall, he offered to lead the troops to boost morale.In fact, he thought that with the help of the Song army and occupying a dangerous place, the danger of this mission is very small, and it can be used to accumulate military merits.Improve your prestige in the ruling and opposition parties so as to lay the foundation for your future enthronement.Wang Kai felt that the prince's words were reasonable and readily agreed. After all, it is more assured that the army is in his own hands when the country is in peril.

Sure enough, Wang Wei lived up to expectations, and led his troops to "sweep" the remnants of the enemy after landing.Recovered many states and counties, restored the Great Wall defense line, and immediately became famous.You can go ahead and prepare to receive Baozhou.On the way, I heard that the battle was fierce there, and the Jurchens sent out an army to constantly harass them.When he wanted to regain this pass, the high-spirited prince's legs softened.So he came up with the plan of "rejecting Baozhou, preserving strength, and watching the tiger fight", which killed two birds with one stone. Unexpectedly, it was also praised by the king.Therefore, the leading role of this farce fell on the brave and invincible prince who led the army to land in the enemy's rear, and Jin Fushi, who fought against the gold at the beginning, could only be reduced to a supporting role because of his "negative" attitude...

In December, North Korea entered the coldest season. The rivers were frozen, dripping into ice, and a heavy snowfall came unexpectedly, which soon enveloped the city of Xijing in the wind and snow. Jin Fushi asked the Korean reinforcements stationed in the south of the city to enter In the city, it took over the Song army's defense of Nancheng.

"Marshal, why do you want to replace all our people and be replaced by the Gaoli army?" Just after handing over the defense, Jiang Wei and Zhang Pu went to the commander's mansion to 'question'.

"Jin Shoufu said that the weather is cold, and most of our Southern Dynasties troops are from the Central Plains who are not tolerant of the severe cold, so we will go down to the city to rest temporarily, and let them take over the defense!" Zhao Yong asked the two to sit down.

"This matter is too strange? Are they going to do something behind our backs, lest we interfere!" Zhang Pu said after sitting down and drinking the hot tea on the table.

"What's so strange, people care about us, don't judge a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart. Besides, we are a guest army, and this is their territory. It's not up to us to care about what they want to do!" Zhao Yong looked at The impolite Zhang Pu shook his head with a wry smile, and asked the soldiers to bring two more cups of tea and said.

"I told him not to make wild suspicions, but he didn't listen. He insisted that there was a conspiracy to replace us. The city was as cold as an ice cellar. What's wrong with resting in the camp!" said with a sore hand.

"It doesn't look like it to me. The armor of the Koryo army entering the city is puzzled. Those with knives and arrows are gathering under the city. They don't seem to be entering the city to avoid the cold, but they seem to be preparing to fight. Do they think that the Jin army will be defeated and want to use it?" Get some cheap money!" Zhang Pu retorted unconvinced.

"They came here to fight. If they don't carry swords or hoes, you think there are crop fields outside the city?" Jiang Wei teased.

"Since you've been replaced, don't think too much about it. Rest at ease. Jin Shoufu sent some wine and meat to the battalions, and go back to enjoy it! But remember not to drink too much, and you are not allowed to leave the camp without orders, and you are not allowed to have any conflicts with the Korean army. Conflict, let alone spread rumors, understand?" Zhao Yong exhorted.

"This……"

"What are you talking about, let's go back to drink, the commander-in-chief issued an order to evict guests!" Jiang Wei stood up and said Zhang Pu, who still wanted to say something, Zhang Pu sighed and left angrily without even bowing.

"Marshal, do you think what Jin Fushi said is credible?" Seeing the two of them leaving the door, Zhuge Hong asked.

"Hmph, only ghosts believe it!" Zhao Yong snorted coldly, "He hesitates in speaking, his eyes flicker, and if you don't ask, it's a lie. He still wants to deceive us, and he is far worse than the emperor's level!"

"Then the commander-in-chief thinks that he has carefully fabricated lies and sent meat and wine, what does he intend to do?" Zhuge Hong asked with a smile, secretly happy that Jin Fushi might not have thought that his elaborately fabricated lies would be easily seen through. It's not because his level of fabrication is low, but because the level of the emperor's lies is too high. From a young age, he was able to deceive the emperor, the queen mother, and the ministers. Although people around them are often deceived by him, but Of course, the level of recognition has also improved.

"The emperor often said that deception is to conceal the truth and show the false. What Jin Fushi wants to hide is what he wants to do?" Zhao Yong said.

"Then what is he trying to cover up?" Zhuge Hong rubbed his head thinking.

"What did he want to do when he stepped through our threshold a few days ago, but he hasn't come to the door for many days in the past two days, which shows that he has a solution. The purpose of their deployment is to get rid of us and do it!" Seeing that Zhuge Hong didn't understand why, Zhao Yong reminded him with a sneer.

"They want to start a decisive battle with the Jin army?!" Zhuge Hong exclaimed in surprise, "Although the Jin army has suffered some losses, they still have [-] to [-] soldiers ready to fight, and their strength should not be underestimated. Isn't it no different from courting death, why didn't the commander-in-chief dissuade them?"

"It's too late. Bo Chuan sent an urgent report. The Crown Prince of Koryo, Wang Sui, has already dispatched almost all the Koryo troops defending the Great Wall's line of defense, and marched towards Xijing City. Jin Fushi may have received an order before he will send troops into the city. They are trying to fight the Jin Army in a decisive battle under the city!" Zhao Yong said.

"Isn't the defense line of the Great Wall useless? Jin Guo's reinforcements can drive in and join Wushu, destroying our entire battle plan. Can't we just sit back and do nothing!" Zhuge Hong said anxiously.

"Hey, someone will naturally do things, but since they don't want us to intervene, why should we bother, don't you also want to see the reality of the Jin Army's fortifications, wouldn't it be good to let them test it out!" Zhao Yong Zhuge Hong shook his head helplessly. He found that Zhao Yong's smile became more and more like an emperor's...

In the early morning of the next day, all the main gates and side gates of the south city of Xijing City were opened, the suspension bridge fell, and tens of thousands of Koryo troops swarmed out. Go up to the tower to supervise the battle.One of the generals in the Goryeo battle came out to challenge the battle, but surprisingly, after scolding for a long time, the Jin army in Tucheng was silent, and the gate of the village was closed and no one was fighting.

Jin Fushi waved the flag, and more than a dozen war drums on the tower beat at the same time. The archers moved forward and threw arrows into the Tucheng. Followed by sword and shield soldiers, thousands of people shouted in unison and launched an overwhelming attack on Tucheng.

When the attacking Koryo army approached within a hundred steps of Tucheng, there was a long sound of horns in the silent Tucheng, and then countless stones crossed the soil barrier, smashing into the bows and arrows of the Koryo army like a hailstorm. in the hand team.At the same time, countless archers emerged from behind the earth barrier and shot at the Goryeo soldiers who were pushing the carts, and they fell down in a blink of an eye. The sword and shield soldiers held up their shields and braved the rain of arrows to provide cover for the soldiers pushing the carts. .

Goryeo's archers suffered heavy casualties under the wave after wave of Jin Army catapults, and soon lost their positions and scattered to avoid.The crash car that lost the cover of the archer pushed forward with difficulty under the rain of arrows. Seeing the root of the wall, several oil tanks were thrown from the inside and hit the car. Several rockets roared towards it, and the wooden crash car immediately turned into firewood. The pile is ablaze!

"It's a farce!" Zhang Pu, who was watching the battle in the corner of the city, let out a sigh... (to be continued...)
