The two sides started a fierce battle on the tower.

About a stick of incense, the first Song soldier climbed up to the top of the city and split the Tianling Gai of a Goryeo soldier with an axe. After roaring wildly, he was about to chop the second man. The arm holding the ax was struck by a

Goryeo soldiers cut it off.

He didn't scream. At this time, the adrenaline was rushing to the extreme and he had lost the sense of pain. Instead, he quickly raised the shield in his left hand and blocked the attack of another Goryeo soldier.

However, it was the man who was the first to climb onto the city wall who bought a brief opportunity for those behind him. The Song army behind them quickly jumped over the battlements and charged forward.

As soon as these Song troops came up, they were like tigers and wolves entering the sheepfold.

The Korean defenders, whose morale was already demoralized, were killed and retreated steadily.

More and more Song troops climbed up from behind.

During the fighting, heads rolled among piles of broken limbs.

Some people step on their internal organs and even slip and fall to the ground.

The Korean soldiers behind the city tower were mobilized in panic and climbed to the top of the city, but it was too late now.

The Song army quickly created a large open space on the city tower, and the Song army behind them also filled it in a steady stream.

I don't know how long it took, but the first batch of crossbowmen from the Song Army climbed onto the tower.

The situation took a further turn, and the crossbowmen who climbed onto the tower began to fire crossbows indiscriminately into the city.

This meant that the Koreans completely lost control of the area near the tower.

Later, when the Military and Political Council and the Tokyo Lecture Hall analyzed Han Shizhong's opening battle to conquer Goryeo, they also gave a very positive compliment: the field combat capability of the Liaodong Army was almost as good as that of the Jin Army.

The fighting power of the Koreans was actually stronger than that of Jiaozhi, and Han Shizhong opened the capital faster than Wu Lin attacked Shenglong City.

This is enough to show that the overall strength of the Liaodong Army has been improved.

Of course, hundreds of Eight Ox Crossbows also played a role that cannot be ignored.

The city of Kaijing fell into panic.

On the street, groups of Koryo Imperial Guards wearing iron armor and holding spears rushed toward the city gate.

As for the news that the Song army had boarded the tower, it began to spread in the city, causing panic.

Zheng Yongke, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, said hurriedly: "Xianggong Jin, the Song army has gone up to the tower, what should we do now?"

"There are still 30,000 troops in the city. Mobilize all the people to fight in the streets and wear out the Song army as much as possible!" Jin Fushi's face was ashen. He never expected that the Song army would attack the city so quickly.

Seeing Zheng Yongke stunned, Jin Fushi said angrily: "Go quickly!"

"Yes Yes!"

Jin Fushi quickly returned to his mansion. He first arranged for his son to arrange all the family property and prepare to leave the city.

It is not difficult to escape from Kaijing. Kaijing is surrounded by mountains on several sides, and there is even a city wall built on the mountain.

The Song army simply could not surround Kaijing like other cities, and Han Shizhong could only push in through the current west gate.

Obviously, Jin Fushi is ready to start leaving a backup plan for himself.

At this time, the King of Goryeo, Wang Kai, also knew the news that the defense line of the city tower had been breached. With the support of Liu Jun, the Minister of Rites, opposition to Jin Fushi began to appear in the palace, and it began to amplify.

A group of Goryeo monarchs and ministers centered on Wang Kai planned to negotiate peace, surrender, and hand over Jin Fushi and others to end the war.

However, the current situation is difficult to operate.

First, Kim Bo-sik has a large number of followers and also holds some military power. Second, street fighting is about to break out.

Moreover, Jin Fushi also guessed the impact of the current war situation on internal politics. He quickly returned to the palace with his troops and purged the ministers who had impeached him in the name of traitors.

Later, Jin Fushi took Wang Kai and several of his sons away and fled through the east city gate.

Wang Kai said angrily: "What do you want?"

"I also think for the sake of Your Majesty and the country. As long as Your Majesty is still there, I can organize various Qinwang troops to counterattack at any time."

"You are causing chaos in the country!"

"The Song army will not be rampant for long, and Jin reinforcements will arrive soon."

In the evening, Zhao Chen returned to the camp.

Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment when he saw the people in the camp.

Qin Hui smiled and bowed: "I have met His Highness King Qi."

Seeing Qin Hui again, Zhao Chen still felt angry in his heart.

But at this time, Zhao Chen would no longer reprimand Qin Hui in person like in the past.

"Xiao Wang has met Qin Xianggong."

"King Qi is so polite."

Han Shizhong said: "Xiangong Qin was sent here by His Majesty to help us arrange logistics."

Qin Hui said: "Your Majesty believes that the Koryo Kingdom is different from Jiaozhi. The Koryo Kingdom is a strong country, and the Jin Kingdom is right next to it. The Jin Kingdom may provide reinforcements at any time. It does not end with the capture of Kaijing."

Zhao Chen said: "Han Shuai, the resistance in the city is very tenacious."

"Don't rush now, wait for the army to rest and fight again tomorrow!"

Qin Hui took over the words: "Han Shuai must be prepared for both sides. The leader of the Kingdom of Goryeo may have left Kaijing. If he leaves, there will be the possibility of prolonging the war later. If he does not leave, it will be easier to handle."

Qin Hui is right, there is precedent for this.

In the Second Battle of Liao-Li, that is, after the Chanyuan Alliance, the Liao State attacked Goryeo, and Emperor Shengzong of the Liao Dynasty personally led the expedition. The Liao army defeated all Goryeo resistance, and all the Goryeo people who opened the capital fled, leaving the city almost empty.

Liao Shengzong simply burned Kaijing on fire.

Then the Liao army withdrew, and the Koreans came back.

In the third battle of Liao-Li, the Koreans went back on their word, and the Liao army attacked again. However, they were ambushed by the Koreans and were caught off guard.

This also proves that a temporary tactical victory is not a victory.

Even if the Song army captured Kaijing now, it would not be able to quickly achieve the political goals that Zhao Guan's family wanted.

At this time, Qin Hui needs to take action to coordinate the support from the entire rear to the front.

This is also the reason why a ruler would come all the way to Korea.

Because such a large-scale resource spans several roads and involves the Municipal Shipping Department's control of shipping, it requires the intervention of someone at the executive level.

Zhao Chen said: "Xiao Wang is willing to hunt down the leader of Goryeo."

Qin Hui said: "The courage of King Qi is commendable. If King Qi can hunt him down in person, he will definitely be able to capture the leader of Goryeo."

Han Shizhong said: "Your Highness, there are many mountains near Kaijing City, and the Korean people are very cunning. It would be terrible if they were ambushed. There is no need to worry about this matter."

Qin Hui stopped talking on the side.

Han Shizhong said again: "I wonder what Qin Xianggong has planned next?"

Qin Hui said: "Half of the merchant ships on Jingdong Road, Hangzhou, and Mingzhou have been temporarily mobilized. A large amount of supplies are gathering towards Liaodong and Korea. There are also Xiang troops drawn from Jingdong Road. At least 100,000 people must be dispatched. This

It’s a matter of His Majesty’s repeated orders.”

Even Han Shizhong was a little shocked. How much would it cost?

If it is consumed in this way, even if Goryeo is conquered, will the cost be recovered?
