Chapter 265 Other plans
Pyongyang, Xijing, Goryeo, is its capital, and its political system is almost the same as Songyue. The superior has great power. He only needs to be responsible to the king himself. The appointment and removal of his subordinates is entirely decided by the superior himself, forming a political force.
, often confronted the Songyue nobles, so that whenever the Songyue nobles were in high spirits, the Goryeo royal family always tried to shift their focus to Pyongyang, Xijing to eliminate the influence of Songyue nobles' politics, so they played an important role in the stability of the Goryeo regime.
.
The king of the country, Wang Kai, accepted the suggestion of Jin Fushi's alliance with Song to resist the Jin Dynasty and sent envoys to ask for help from Song. On the other hand, after Jin Fushi was ordered, he immediately led 10,000 reinforcements to Xijing, strengthened the city defense, hoarded food and grass, appeased the people who were scattered and fled, and evacuated.
The young and old recruited volunteers and prepared to fight the Jin army. At the same time, they sent people out of Lianpu to contact the Song army on Shimidao to take advantage of the assistance and fight against the Jin army together.
A few days later, Wu Shu led a large army to arrive. The northern mountains blocked the waters and was easy to defend and difficult to attack. He divided his troops into five roundabouts to surround Xijing. The central army stationed in Chuande County, the left army stationed in Xingfu Temple, and the right army stationed in
The army stationed in Chongqing Temple, the army stationed in Datong River, and the army stationed in Chongqing Temple east. They sent envoys to persuade the surrender to surrender and built siege equipment. Once the peace talks were not completed, they would attack the city. Sure enough, the Jurchens' persuasion of surrender was flatly rejected by Jin Fushi.
In the early morning of September 6, Wu Shu ordered a siege. The two sides launched fierce battles under the city. Ten thousand Jin troops advanced together, filled trenches and built bridges to attack. The Goryeo defenders in the city used crossbows and stone pellets to counterattack. The Jin army fell from cavalry and fell from trenches and fell from trenches.
In the end, the dead were all over the city and could not break the city for a while. However, the Jin army continued to attack. They fought until the evening to attack the city, and they set up ladders to climb the city wall. The city was in danger! Seeing that the city wall was lost, Jin Fushi personally supervised the battle and led reinforcements to the city.
The morale of the Goryeo Army was greatly boosted. The spears and short soldiers fought each other, and their momentum was like wind and fire. The Jin army who climbed the city was caught off guard and was driven off the wall.
The Jin army did not rush to kill and injured for three consecutive days, and the cloud ladder and chariots were used to the extreme, but the Goryeo military and civilians in the city also fought to the death. Even the young women went to the city to throw bricks and tiles to fight against each other, repelling the Jin army's attacks again and again
.Wu Shu saw that he could not capture it for a long time, so he ordered people to go to Datong River to go down the river to assist in the attack. Datong River passed through the city in Xijing and divided the entire city into two parts. It was also an important part of defense. Once it was attacked,
Then the whole city's defense line collapsed.
However, the Jin army made another low-level mistake. The rear army underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly because they were not familiar with the local tide changes. The warships were stranded due to the shallow tide. The Goryeo defenders seized the opportunity to release more than ten ships filled with firewood and oil.
The small boat was ignited with rockets on the bank of the river, and the "fire ship" rushed into the Jin army's fleet, which could not be advanced or retreated, ignited it, and countless Jin troops gained immortality in the fire.
That night, Jin Fushi secretly dispatched 3,000 elite troops to the city at night to attack the Jin army's defeated in the daytime. The Jin army, who was still injured, did not expect that the Goryeo army would dare to go out of the city to fight in the field. Therefore, it was unprepared, and the result was naturally conceivable
It is known that if Wu Shu had not sent troops to help, the blockade of Xijing might have been broken. This victory not only won a lot, but also greatly boosted the morale of the Goryeo army. It was also rumored in the city that the Song Dynasty's naval army defeated the Jin naval army on Sinmi Island.
Reinforcements will arrive in Xijing soon. This further strengthened the determination of the Goryeo military and civilians to defend the city...
"Tai Shi, our army has been trapped in more than ten cities in Goryeo. We have achieved the goal of punishing Goryeo. Should we retreat?" After fighting for nearly ten days, Xijing City remained unmoved, but the originally agreed goal was initially completed.
Li Yu suggested to withdraw his troops.
"Military Supervisor, we dispatched tens of thousands of troops to attack Goryeo this time, but he refused to surrender. Instead, he resisted with all his might. Obviously, he did not surrender. Therefore, we must conquer Xijing, capture its capital, and capture its king
Force him to surrender, and dare not rebel, and challenge my great Jin Kingdom power!" Wu Shu shook his head and said, although the established goal was achieved, he was still far from his goal, and decisively rejected Saliyu's suggestion.
"Tai Shi, I think the sky is in a dangerous place in Xijing and it is not easy to break. Besides, there are many soldiers in the city and the garrison is very strict. The city's guard Jin Fushi has always had prestige in Goryeo and is very good at using troops. He has been relied on by the king and is highly valued by the whole city.
According to his order, our army sent dead soldiers to board first, and only went to the city, no one could step onto the city wall. If the army attacked vigorously, the brave generals and soldiers would be killed by the arrows and stones for a few days, and the Song army occupied it.
Mi Island has not been able to capture it for a long time. If the Song Navy came to Dingzhou for a large number of assistance, it would cut off our way back!" Sali said with concern when he was rejected.
"The military supervisor is too concerned. Song and Goryeo only communicate by sea. One reason is that the message is not smooth, and the exchange has been over ten days; the other is that the army is mobilized by a large army, and it takes time to prepare the baggage and dispatch the troops.
The main forces of the Song army gathered in Yanjing, Dading and Linhuang, and they were not short-term. Zhao Er sent troops to Yingzhou and prepared for half a year; the third season was the alternation of trade winds in this season.
, When hurricanes are coming, even if they can send a navy army, they have to watch the sea and wait for the wind. It is not like they can come as soon as they want!" Wu Shu said with a smile, "So even though the supervisor is relieved, it is difficult for Xijing to capture for a while, so we only
We need to lock the city for a month, and when the food and grass are exhausted in the city, we will definitely be able to enter the city without bloodshed!"
"Well, the Grand Master is right, but the Song Dynasty navy was able to transport tens of thousands of soldiers to land day and night, and it took only three days to reach Goryeo from Dengzhou. They only had to take advantage of the short time when the wind was calm. We can't
Don't be careful!" Sali said with discomfort.
"The military supervisor is too worried!" Wu Shu was a little puzzled if he had chosen the wrong partner. Sa Liyu frequently questioned his wise decision. He said unhappily, "The war has begun for more than ten days, and the Song Dynasty has little trouble.
No response means they don't know what happened here. Even if you are worried that they can send a navy to quickly dispatch troops, they took advantage of our unpreparedness and the navy was weak. Now we have hundreds of warships
Tens of thousands of military generals roamed the sea, how could they allow them to cross the sea and land easily!”
"Alas, the Song army is still entrenched on the Sinmi Island, but the navy still cannot capture the entire island. I am still worried that by then, it will become the foothold of the Song Dynasty reinforcements. This place is too close to the Goryeo land. As long as they land in Dingzhou, we can cut off our
If Xijing cannot be captured for a long time, we will be attacked from both sides, and we may be re-enacted by the tragedy of the Yanjing Battle!" Sali sighed and said, he knew that this was Wu Shu's pain point and he didn't want to touch it, but now the elite soldiers in China
He went all out to attack Goryeo. If there was any loss, the Jin Kingdom would no longer have the capital to confront Song. Therefore, he bit the bullet and advised him, hoping that Wushu would be more alert.
"Oh!?" Wu Shu was stunned when he heard this. The defeat in Yanjing was the greatest shame since he joined the army, and he was most reluctant to touch others. However, although Saliyu mentioned it at this moment, he did not deny what he said.
It's true, "The military supervisor said, I'm less worried! It's September now, and the sea water will freeze in another month. The Song Dynasty's navy can only sigh, but we can't help but prevent the weather from changing.
Leave a chance for the Song people, and the military supervisor, you will write a letter to Xiemao Ali to ask him not to be careless, and be careful to prevent the Song Shui Army from coming from the east!"
"Okay, I'll send someone to tell me!" Sa Li said, "Wu Shu's expression was a little relieved. Although he did not achieve the goal of persuading him to fight quickly, it was better than being unprepared.
"Wait!" Wu Shu suddenly let Sa Li, who was about to leave, and said for a moment, "Military Supervisor, you will order someone to send the property, food and population you have obtained in the past few days back to Liaodong tomorrow, so as not to change over time
. Furthermore, you send someone to Kaijing to inform Wang Kai that if you want to get along well, send an envoy to come quickly. I am willing to listen to it. As long as he agrees to three conditions, we can withdraw our troops. One is to cede the land west of the Qingchuan River; the other is to
Cut off contact with Song and pay annual tribute; the three will borrow 10,000 troops and wait for the help of the Southern Dynasty to attack next spring! If we don’t listen, our army will first defeat the Western Capital and then attack Kaijing, and then destroy the country and the tribe will be destroyed!"
"Yes, I'm going to do it right away!" Sa Li Yu replied in surprise when Wu Shu's attitude changed again, and hurried down to do it.
Wu Shu's attitude changes three times are actually not difficult to understand. As the saying goes, once you get bitten by a snake for ten years, you are afraid of a rope. The defeat of Yanjing left too much shadow on him. He is not a reckless person himself, otherwise he would have been in his early years.
He would not be a leader who listened to the shouting for many years under Han Libu, nor would he tolerate Zong Han's domineering power, nor would he wait for the opportunity to get rid of Wanyan Xiyin after being in charge of military power for many years.
Wu Shu was also considered carefully. He studied the scale, response speed, and how many troops he could send after receiving the news. At the same time, considering the impact of seasons and climate on the war, it was comprehensive.
.
After deduction, Wushu confirmed that the end of August was the best time to send troops. By then, the two armies of his own water will advance and quickly break through the Goryeo defense line and penetrate into its hinterland. It was too late to get the news from the Song Dynasty, and even if they were unprepared for rescue, they could only
The Dengzhou Navy was sent nearby, with a single force and a lonely force. No matter how hard it could be, it would not be the opponent of the entire navy. It was more than a month after the Song Dynasty mobilized good food and fodder and rectified the troops.
By then, I had swept across the entire territory of Goryeo. The arrival of severe winter would also prevent the Song army from crossing the sea. When the spring is warm and ice melts up next year, Goryeo is already in its control.
Now the reason why Wu Shu followed Sali's advice was because the battle in Xijing was not as smooth as expected. He agreed to send envoys to negotiate peace, which could not only paralyze the defenders of Xijing, but also borrow the king Wang Kai and the people in the court.
The minister's timidity achieved his restraint on Jin Fushi and created opportunities for himself to conquer Xijing as soon as possible.
In addition, the shadow of failure has not subsided. He is worried about an accident. He is busy for a long time and has no harvest. Instead, Zhao Er picked up a bargain. In addition, he is worried that Zhao Er, a guy who does not follow the rules, will play new tricks.
