Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 752 The Battle of Kaijing

In the early morning, thousands of ships sailed into Kaijing Bay, and the nearby patrolling soldiers immediately rushed back to Wangcheng to report.

Wang Hui turned pale with shock, and hurriedly ordered Li Ziyuan to discuss with the left and right. Li Ziyuan's face was heavy, and he said after a while: "My minister suggested that it is best to go out of the city and camp. The Song army's siege of iron fire and thunder is very powerful. Once the Song army breaks through the city, The consequences could be disastrous."

Wang Hui said angrily and anxiously: "The problem is not here. I have repeatedly said not to provoke the Song Dynasty. Now it is good. I didn't even give a chance to explain, and I just hit the door."

The prince next to him, Wang Xun, said: "Father, the matter has come to this point, it's too late to say anything, it's better to take advantage of the other party's unsteady disembarkation, and surprise the other party, there is still a chance to win. My child is willing to lead the army to fight the Song army."

Li Ziyuan also persuaded: "Your Majesty, surrendering now will only make people laugh. Although Goryeo is a small country, it can still fight."

Wang Xun and Li Ziyuan took turns persuading Wang Hui, who was not a strong-willed person in the first place, and gradually wavered. There were still [-] infantry in the city, [-] defenders, and [-] palace guards.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Since Song Jun must fight, then I will accompany him."

He immediately said to Wang Xun, "Lead [-] troops out of the city. If the Song army has not yet assembled, then go ahead. If the army has already assembled, then be careful."

"My son obeys the order!"

Wang Xun went immediately, and Wang Hui sighed and said to Li Ziyuan, "I just hope that this battle will not sink Goryeo."

The [-] Korean army, led by Prince Wang Xun, rushed towards Kaijing Bay more than ten miles away. When Wang Xun was riding a horse, he saw countless large ships in the bay from a distance. On the shore, many soldiers were carrying something down.

Wang Xun was overjoyed immediately, the main force of the Song army hadn't disembarked yet, this was their chance.

Wang Xun immediately ordered: "Kill!"

"Kill!"

The [-] army rushed towards the distant pier like a tide.

On a large ship not far from the pier, Fan Ning looked coldly at the [-] Korean army that was about to kill them.

He immediately ordered: "Shoot the rocket!"

Three rockets shot into the sky immediately, and the sky was extraordinarily red.

At this time, the [-] cavalry of the Song army ten miles to the south suddenly mobilized, and the [-] cavalry rushed towards the back of the Koryo army like a galloping black sea.

The [-] cavalry of the Song Army had already landed, and the warships of the Song Dynasty continued to head north, posing as if they were preparing to disembark at the northern pier to gather troops.

This caused the Koryo army to have an illusion that the enemy was these thousands of warships, and they rushed to kill them with all their strength. However, in mobile warfare, when cavalry and infantry meet, it is a one-sided massacre. Relying on the army formation, now the Song army has set a trap, the Koryo army made a mistake in judgment and lost the opportunity to assemble the army formation.

The soldiers on the pier had fled back to the big ship. When the Koryo army reached the warship fifty paces, dozens of warships fired hundreds of iron fire mines with steel ballistas.

The iron fire thunder exploded one after another in the crowd, blood and flesh flew all over the place, many soldiers were blown into the air, screaming, one thunder exploded, and hundreds of people around would be killed or injured.

The soldiers of the Koryo Army were hit head-on, and they turned their heads blindfolded. The team was in chaos, and they turned around and rushed to flee.

Wang Xun cursed angrily: "These idiots, who let them get so close to the boat."

At this moment, he pointed at the soldiers behind him and shouted in fear: "Your Highness...Your Highness, what is that?"

Looking back, Wang Xun was so frightened that he saw dust flying two miles away, covering the sky and covering the sun, the earth was trembling, and there was a thunderous roar.

"It's cavalry!"

He immediately shouted: "Army assembled and lined up!"

It was too late, most of the soldiers were still immersed in the fear of the iron fire thunder explosion, they just wanted to escape from the pier as far as possible.

In just a moment, one hundred thousand cavalry were killed a hundred paces away. Seeing that the situation was critical, the soldiers set up Wang Xun and ran away.

At this time, the Koryo Army discovered that the Song Army cavalry had killed their eyes. They uttered the last desperate screams, and a hundred thousand cavalry rushed into the chaotic Koryo Army ranks like a destructive force.

In this battle, the Song army's [-] iron cavalry defeated the [-] Koryo army, beheaded more than [-] enemy soldiers, and captured more than [-] enemies. In Kaijing, the other armies were wiped out. It was only more than an hour before he left the city. The Song army also paid the price of thousands of cavalry casualties.

When the dust of the war fell, one hundred thousand infantry began to land one after another, and soon they were assembled. After they disposed of the corpses, the 20 troops marched towards Kaijing in a mighty manner.

The 20 Koryo army was defeated by the Song army. The news of the annihilation of the entire army paralyzed the Koryo emperor Wang Hui. Now there are only [-] troops left in the city. The country is going to be destroyed!

Wang Hui no longer had the courage to fight against the Song Dynasty. After scolding Li Ziyuan and Wang Xun, he hurriedly sent Wang Li, Minister of Fuguo Chonglu, out of the city to seek peace.

Outside the city, 20 Song troops had set up a company battalion and surrounded Kaijing. Inside the Chinese army tent, Guo Kui, who knew Koryo better, was introducing the situation of Koryo to Fan Ning.

"Koryo's army is about 40, but it is relatively scattered. There are 20 troops in the north of Pyongyang, and more than 10,000 troops in the south to fight against Japan. The capital's troops are generally maintained at around 8. Last time they sent [-] troops." The army escorted hundreds of thousands of Bohai people back to their hometowns, so there were only [-]+ troops in the city at most, and now we have wiped out [-] people, and the troops in the city can no longer defend the city."

Han Jiang next to him asked, "Does Your Highness plan to take this opportunity to destroy Goryeo?"

Fan Ning shook his head, "The Son of Heaven means punishment. There is no need to destroy the country. Goryeo was originally a vassal state of the Song Dynasty. After giving him a hard lesson, he will be obedient in the future."

Han Jiang asked again: "It is estimated that Wang Hui will send someone to sue for peace soon. How does His Highness plan to set a price?"

Fan Ning said: "First of all, Goryeo has to apologize to Da Song, and the attitude must be sincere. Secondly, the Song army's military expenses this time must be borne by the other party. I think it will cost at least 100 million taels of silver. The third is the resettlement fee for the people of Bohai. People are sent to Da Song, and we need us to resettle them. Of course, they need to pay for it. This item will cost at least 10 million taels. Fourth, we have been operating Shenmi Island for many years, so we will directly cede it to Da Song. Fifth, we need them The troops must be withdrawn from the old land of the Bohai Kingdom, and at the same time, the list of the nobles of the Bohai Kingdom must be handed over. As long as they agree to these five items, they will restore the original state, and the Song army will break through Kaijing, and the King of Korea will be invited to Bianliang as a guest."

At this time, a soldier said outside the account: "The envoy sent by the King of Korea has arrived in the city, and I am here to ask His Highness to see you!"

Sure enough, Fan Ning smiled at Han Jiang, "Just ask Mr. Han to negotiate with them. It's the five things I just said."

Han Jiang nodded and went out, Guo Kui said: "His Highness's offer is quite harsh, will they agree?"

"Harsh?"

Fan Ning shook his head and said, "It's nothing more than asking them to pay 200 million taels of silver, they can afford it."

"What about the hundreds of thousands of Bohai people?"

Fan Ning sneered and said, "Two tactics, one soft and the other tough, must suppress and clean up all the nobles inside, and ordinary people will be easier to deal with."

In the afternoon, the Goryeo envoy came to Daying again and brought definite news.

Han Jiang said with a smile: "It seems that the five conditions proposed by His Highness are not high, and the other party agreed to them all. They just ceded Shenmi Island and changed it to be permanently stationed unconditionally. Is this okay?"

Fan Ning walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and said, "Yes, but I have made a concession, what about the other party?"

Han Jiang said: "In this regard, I proposed to increase the resettlement money for Bohai people to 200 million taels of silver, and the other party agreed."

Fan Ning nodded, "How do they plan to fulfill the other conditions?"

"They will send the military expenses soon. As for the apology, Wang Hui will send his son to see the emperor of Song Dynasty to plead guilty, and then they will send the resettlement fee of 200 million taels of silver."

"There is another list!" Fanning reminded.

Han Jiang handed a scroll in her hand to Fan Ning, "This is the list of nobles from Bohai, with a total of 440 seven people."

Fan Ning opened the scroll and saw that it was filled with densely packed names. It has been a few years, and it wasn't just concocted just now. He nodded, "These people need to be confirmed one by one."

"There's another copy of this!"

Han Jiang handed another scroll to Fan Ning, and Fan Ning unfolded it. It was an edict, allowing the Song Army to permanently station on Shenmi Island unconditionally.

Not long after, 300 million taels of silver were sent by bullock cart in the city.

It could be seen that the Koryo court was very anxious and hoped that the Song army would withdraw as soon as possible. Fan Ning hesitated a bit, and discussed with Han Jiang: "Do Han Gong think we should meet the King of Koryo?"

Han Jiang thought for a while and said, "If the emperor of Goryeo came out of the city to see His Highness, it would mean that Goryeo had surrendered. This nature is a bit serious. In fact, I think it's best to deal with it now. I will teach them a lesson and let Goryeo stay. A little thin noodles, Your Highness, I suggest stopping here, after all, more than 6 people have been beheaded."

Fan Ning nodded, "Then follow Duke Han's words!"

Early the next morning, the Song army retreated outside the city, and thousands of warships also left Kaijing Bay one after another. After confirming that the Song army had left, the soldiers and civilians in the city rushed out to dig out the buried corpses, conduct burials, and pay homage. There was a lot of crying in the city, and Wang Hui ordered to build a martyr's shrine, and moved the names of more than [-] people into the martyr's shrine to enjoy four-season worship and so on.
