Water Margin Survival

Li Ziqian, the commander in chief of the defense of the Korean people, was a little puzzled by the movement of the Song army under the city for the past two days.

The Song cavalry, who were of little help in the siege, did not camp with the infantry, but guarded outside the other city gates of Kaijing, as if they were afraid that the people in the city would escape.

Although this move shows that the Song people have a great appetite, it is obviously meant to swallow the entire Kaijing city in one gulp.However, Li Ziqian couldn't help being complacent after seeing this scene, and the pride in his chest suddenly rose to the highest point. It turns out that there are 22 gates in Kaijing, the magnificent capital of the country. Can you Song people "guard" them?

Dagoryeo has enough soldiers to protect these city gates. With Li Ziqian taking the lead in "donating people", the city wall with a circumference of 22 steps has an average of two people standing on each step and there is still room. Not counting the soldiers defending the [-] towers.

The infantry of the Song Dynasty seemed to have locked onto the Xuanyi Gate of Kaijing, and after setting up camp outside the city gate, there was no movement.

The Koreans guarding the city felt that although the Song people below were stupid, they knew what to do, and they knew how to choose Kaijing's largest and most luxurious city gate as their target.It turns out that Xuanyi Gate is the main west gate of Wangcheng, and the west is the golden square, which is righteous in Wuchang, so it is named.Its main entrance has two layers, and there are towers and views on it, which together form the Wengcheng.There are three gates in this gatehouse. The gates on the north and south sides are for ordinary people and officials to enter and exit. Only the middle gate is reserved for the king of Goryeofan. Of course, the envoys of the Song Dynasty who came across the sea can also enter through the middle gate.

Obviously, the Song army at this time did not have the treatment of the Song envoys, because the envoys brought rewards and alms, but the Song army brought teachers and punishments.The Koreans have always asked for money and goods from the great powers of the Central Plains.Ask for help, but just don't want to listen to the suzerain country say a few more words, and have no worries about being short-handed and cannibalizing people.

Song Jun's choice of attack target satisfied the vanity of many Koreans, but Li Ziqian felt that this group of Song people were too stupid, and chose the tallest and strongest tower in Kaijing City as the target of attack, and he didn't know what happened to the other commander. brain.

Originally, the two main generals of the Dragon and Tiger Army were still a little worried.The trebuchets brought by the army last time were obtained by the Song people who came across the sea in light clothes. They were used in this siege, but they disappeared for a long time, which made the two generals feel relieved.

However, Li Ziqian felt that this group of useless generals really made a big fuss, and immediately criticized the two for their wrong ideas!Could the city walls of Kaijing be threatened by a few catapults? More than 80 years ago, it was because the old city of Kaijing was destroyed by the Liao army, so Goryeo exhausted all the power of the country at that time, gritted its teeth and conscripted 30 strong men to build the city, and it was such a day of defense!

But what makes the most powerful relative of the king city quite embarrassing is that.No one, including the ancestors, would have thought that the army that came to the city for the first time was actually the old suzerain state of the Central Plains, which is said to be ungrateful for martial arts, and not the new father Daliao.And this time, they are no longer trying to win over themselves, but they are trying to uphold justice for another country that almost disappeared. This made the Koreans feel a little bit sour after hearing the news.

Only I can show my temper in front of you, bastard!You can't pet others!

What fairness and justice.Is the relationship between us important?Isn't it just that the emperor of the Song Dynasty once again rejected the request of the Song Dynasty to contact the Jurchens through Koryo in the past two years (although it was directly rejected as early as Song Shenzong).Is it possible to meet real swordsmen?In fact, Dagoryeo also has difficulties. Juzheng is the main target of Goryeo's Hundred Years War. If you agree, Dagoryeo is still playing a fart!

Li Ziqian looked at the Song army camped not far from the city with a heavy expression, and his mood was very complicated. He had ordered all the Koryo generals who guarded this gate to know that they must do everything possible to capture a powerful general of the Song army, because he Li Ziliang, the younger brother who went to the Song Dynasty as an envoy, is still in the hands of the opponent. Fortunately, the opponent did not use this to threaten him, so he is considered a good character.

"Catch as much as you can. After all, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was misled by treacherous ministers, so don't make the feud too deep!" Li Ziqian's instructions to the general of the Dragon and Tiger Army when he went down to the city were directed at the only surviving member of the Eight Guards. General will take it for granted, after all, beating people doesn't slap people in the face, it can't be too happy to win, you have to save some face for the people of Song Dynasty, right?

When Li Ziqian left, he had already made up his mind not to come every day to investigate the situation. He was fully aware of the predicament of the Song people in the city attacking but not daring to attack, and leaving without the face.If this stalemate continues, not to mention waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from all over the world, as long as his confidant, the number one famous general in Korea, Tuo Junjing, the deputy envoy of the Northwest Army and Horses, rushes with his troops, even the people of Song Dynasty will not be able to retreat back to the sea with dignity.

Now that the problem in front of him was no longer a problem, Li Ziqian naturally turned his attention back to the court.The son-in-law seemed to be more obedient this time, but the dog under him was too aggressive. For more than ten years, he brought a group of civil servants who did not know what to do to fight against him every time. After retiring from the Song Army, it's time for a conclusion.Don't think that if the tiger closes its eyes, it won't eat people. There will always be a good end for these fifty or so backbones who follow Han Anren wholeheartedly.

"Zide, I can't explain some things to them. You should know that Ziliang is still in the hands of Song people. You are here, take care of me!"

Li Zide, who is a member of the Privy Council of Gaoli, and Li Zide of Shangzhu Kingdom, is Li Ziqian’s cousin, and they are all members of the same family. Naturally, there is no need to tell the truth. Li Zide responded to his cousin while personally sending Li Ziqian down the city. The two of them were head to head. They were discussing something, how could the crowd dare to approach, at this moment, an officer of the Privy Council came to report: "The guards of the gates in the north have news, saying that there are more than 2000 cavalry under the city moving towards the Xuanyi Gate in the west!"

Li Zide was a figure like Tong Guan in the Goryeo Dynasty. Hearing this, he said disapprovingly, "These small things are also reported? Song cavalry have been swimming around the lower reaches of the city these days. Is there not much news of this kind?"

"Report to Shangzhu Kingdom, and there are reports from the gates in the south, saying that no less than [-] cavalry are also moving to Xuanyi Gate!" The officer added after seeing this.

This news attracted Li Zide's attention, and he looked back at his cousin, saying: "Gather the cavalry, are they going to attack the city?"

"You and I just came down from the city. How do these Song soldiers look like they are going to attack the city? No matter how many cavalry come, it's just a bluff!"

Li Ziqian was rather disapproving. The Song people should regret it at this time. What's the use of bringing so many cavalry for no reason?Dagoryeo is best at fortifying walls and clearing fields, and has the most experience in dealing with cavalry.Therefore, the Daliao army, which has accumulated millions of people, was exhausted every time, and eventually retreated helplessly.

"Brother, I'd better go to the city to have a look!"

Li Zide was a little worried, and took the initiative to say goodbye to Li Ziqian.Li Ziqian didn't care, waved him to go.Immediately, I heard Li Zide's military order spread in the air: "All the Wangjun troops will go to the city to assist the main army in defending the city!"

Li Ziqian shook his head and smiled, this cousin is still not very mature, seeing the wind is rain, he was about to get in the carriage and leave, but saw a subordinate coming to report the military situation, he waited for a while, after speaking, when Li Ziqian looked at the city, it was already There was a lot of voices, Li Ziqian took one last look at the city wall, got into the carriage, and said, "Go to the palace!"
