The King of Goryeo looked at the scout conveying the military information, waved his hand, and laughed loudly: "Even if he has 100,000 cooking cakes, his Jurchens will have to eat them for a month. How can he defeat them in one battle?"
Smiling and laughing, his voice suddenly stopped and was replaced by a trembling voice with sadness: "My king's one hundred thousand army! My Goryeo's one hundred thousand army!"
The Crown Prince read the battle report several times, his body swayed, and he closed his eyes weakly, trying his best to suppress his tears.
The losses in this battle were too great.
Originally, the number of Jurchens was too small. Even if the 100,000-strong army was defeated, it would certainly not be wiped out and there would still be a chance for a comeback. However, this time the Jurchens were stimulated by some unknown source and chased for hundreds of miles for a day and a night.
The Korean soldiers trampled on each other along the way. There were countless casualties. The remaining survivors were completely frightened and fled to the villages along the way, never daring to come out again.
These 100,000 soldiers are completely finished.
The key is that these 100,000 people are already the stronger ones selected from the 200,000 "different martial arts classes". Although the training time is short and they cannot be called elite soldiers, in comparison, there are still 100,000 people left to guard the royal capital.
, definitely weaker.
Judging from the route the Jurchens followed, they were heading directly for the royal capital...
At this time, the King of Goryeo also reacted: "Quick! Quickly gather the remaining defenders and select Wuxiang Dao soldiers from them!"
The Crown Prince couldn't help it anymore: "Father, we can no longer rely on the Wuxiang Taoist soldiers at this moment. If it weren't for these Taoist soldiers, the situation would not be like this!"
The King of Goryeo was furious: "What nonsense are you talking about? You have all seen the magic of Taoist soldiers with your own eyes, and now you are blaming them for the defeat?"
The prince was speechless.
The tyranny of the Wuxiang Taoist soldiers indeed gave everyone great confidence. Even the former crown prince believed that this group of invisible soldiers, led by the invisible soldiers, caught the Jurchens off guard and then overwhelmed them with their superior numbers.
, they should all be eliminated!
In the end, things went against expectations. A hundred thousand troops were killed by the Jurchens and lost their armor. They were defeated like a mountain. But three hundred Taoist soldiers came to blame. It didn't make sense...
But he calmed down and remonstrated: "Although the Taoist soldiers are powerful, they are only good at attacking and cannot defend the city. What's more, once the Taoist soldiers are selected, the other soldiers will unconsciously rely on them. This may also be the collapse of the main force on the front line.
For the reason, please father, please think twice!"
The King of Goryeo was extremely angry: "Okay! Okay! I am still in good health, but you are so impatient. Do you want me to abdicate now and let you, the emperor, turn the tide?"
The prince hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "I don't dare! I don't dare!"
The King of Korea's chest heaved violently, and he glared at him fiercely, but turned away.
After all, this is just an angry talk. As the King of Goryeo, of course he will not abdicate the throne to the crown prince when the enemy is approaching the city, and then escape from trouble. What kind of stupid thing would an incompetent person do?
The King of Goryeo did not want to escape, but wanted to fight: "Either he agreed to the Jurchens' request as early as when the border was breached and humiliatedly offered grain, grass and baggage to provide support, or after a tit-for-tat battle, he gave up on luck and fought against it.
Fight to the end, there is no third way to deal with these vicious thieves!”…
"Now let me tell you the king's will to select Wuxiang Dao soldiers. The scarcity of thieves is the biggest weakness. As long as there are heavy casualties, I don't believe they will not retreat!!"
Under the stern order, the ministers mobilized, each took his or her responsibility, and hurried out of the palace.
But the King of Korea, who returned to the harem, prostrated himself in front of the Buddha statue, clasped his hands together, and murmured: "My Buddha is merciful, and my ancestors appeared to help me, Korea, to survive this calamity!!"
no respond.
The Buddha naturally ignored him, and Li Yan didn't understand who the ancestor he was talking about was. Of course, even if the King of Goryeo begged him to come out, there would be nothing to give him.
Because the Wuxiang Dao Weapon is already the fastest Dao Weapon he can create so far, and no matter what kind of Dao Weapon, the selection is extremely strict.
Before, seven or eight of the three hundred people were just fake people. They did not meet the requirements of the secret training method and were just to make up a round number. Now that the conditions are lowered and the conditions are lowered, it is even more difficult to ensure combat effectiveness.
Fortunately, if the number of people increases and they are completely exhausted, they can still cause some trouble to the Jurchens.
"boom!"
Wanyan Osai smashed it out with a hammer, and a figure fell violently out of the air, vomiting blood on the ground, and then was skillfully stabbed to death by the Jurchen cavalry around him under the horse.
"What batch is this already?"
Even so, a trace of deep exhaustion appeared on Wanyan Husai's angry brows.
The Wuxiang Taoist soldiers are so powerful that they are so elusive that they can create a strong sense of crisis for the enemy even if they do not show up. Now the Jurchen cavalry do not even dare to stop. As soon as they stop their horses, they feel that the surroundings are empty, as if an enemy is approaching.
This kind of psychological pressure of fighting against every tree and grass is too great. You have to be careful when resting at night, because the new batch of Taoist soldiers trained by the King of Goryeo really attacked and killed one after another at night, which made the Jurchens so exhausted that they rushed out for the first time.
The intention to give up.
Wanyan Husai, who had previously promised to destroy Goryeo, couldn't help but hesitate. When Wanyan Loushi arrived with reinforcements, he couldn't wait to ask: "What do you say, brother?"
Wanyan Loushi's expression was not very good: "Dubo Jilie does not want to destroy the Goryeo people. No matter how weak the Goryeo people are, they cannot be swallowed up by our military strength. As long as we ask for food, grass and baggage..."
Wanyan Osai lowered his head in shame: "I was impulsive. Just retreat. I will go back and take the punishment according to the clan rules!"
Wanyan Loushi shook his head slightly: "No, we can't retreat at this time. Along the way, I saw that the cities in various parts of Goryeo have been fortified and cleared. They obviously want to fight to the end and are not willing to hand over even the slightest bit of food. Since they are so tenacious, we will
Goryeo must be destroyed!"
"The death of this Khitan vassal state will also be a shock to other tribes, keeping them away from the Khitans and avoiding becoming the next Koryo!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wanyan also made similar considerations before the intercession, but said in a deep voice: "But the Liao army is approaching, what if the King of Goryeo also chooses to fortify its walls and clear the country?"
,Resist to the end, in a hurry, how can we secure the city?"
Wanyan Loushi said: "How can there be any reason to ensure the lower city when attacking the capital of a country? At this point, Goryeo will definitely delay time and let us retreat in the face of difficulties. But if we really retreat without gaining anything, we will definitely
We can’t stop the Liao army... Only by destroying Goryeo can we have a chance of survival!”…
"you're right!"
After hearing these words, Wanyan Hesai immediately gave up the frustration in his heart and became high-spirited again.
Not only him, but when he came back to the Jurchen cavalry and boosted their morale, everyone's spirits were lifted up, just like the tenacity and unyielding spirit they had in the past among the white mountains and black waters, fighting against the sky, the earth, and people.
Finally, the capital of the Kingdom of Goryeo, Gaegyeong, arrived.
As expected, all the trees outside the city were cut down, and all the houses were demolished, leaving the city in a state of fortification and clearing out the wilderness.
But the Jurchens don't actually care about this, because they don't know how to build any siege equipment. Whenever they go to the city, they use the most barbaric and primitive methods to conquer it.
What they really have is the spiritual outlook of the guards.
When they discovered the cowering Korean soldiers on the city wall who did not even dare to look directly at them, Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Hesai raised the corners of their mouths.
With such morale of the defenders, even the royal capital can definitely be breached, it is only a matter of time.
While the outside can be fortified and clear, there are so many princes, dignitaries and Buddhist monasteries in the royal capital, but it cannot be completely destroyed without the determination. Once this heavy city gate is breached, the huge wealth in the city will be at will.
They take and take.
"Enter the city and plunder the city for three days!"
"Oh oh oh!!"
…
"Don't be afraid! They will never be able to attack!"
Hearing that the Jurchens outside the city had arrived, they surrounded the royal capital aggressively, and the city was already in turmoil. Knowing where this terrible ethnic group had gone, burning, killing, and looting, it was almost impossible to grow a blade of grass, but the morale in the palace was barely okay*, because Goryeo
The king assured the civil and military ministers confidently.
The Crown Prince also echoed: "As long as we wait until the Liao army arrives, all these traitors will die without a burial place!"
Seeing these two statements, although they knew that the soldiers guarding the city could not compare with the powerful Jurchen army, the officials felt a little relieved because of the high height of the city and the depth of the pond.
The key point is that the nationwide recruitment of troops was all of a sudden emptying out soldiers from all over the country. After the tragic defeat, there was no hope that any decent King Qin army would arrive in a short period of time. Now that the matter has come to this, we can only hold on to the end.
"Our Kingdom of Goryeo has a long history and will not end here!"
…
"I hope the Jurchen Heavenly Army will destroy Duke Ji Lin, the false king who usurped the throne and killed the king!"
In the military camp where the Jurchens were temporarily stationed, a gray-haired old man bowed down in front of the generals.
Wanyan Husai knew the history of Goryeo. He knew that Jilin Gong was the name of the current King of Goryeo before he took the throne. Combined with the denunciation of usurping the throne and killing the king, he already understood: "Are you a member of the Xianzong of Goryeo?"
Xianzong was the last King of Goryeo, and his experience can be seen in a single dedication. He succeeded to the throne at a young age, suffered domestic turmoil, and caused rebellions by his relatives. Finally, the current King of Goryeo, who was named Taishu at that time, took control of the power and had to hand over the throne. Later,
Died suddenly for no reason.
At this time, the old man cried out and explained the reason: "I, Wang Chan, wanted to keep this evil thief in my place. I wanted to keep my body safe. Unexpectedly, within half a year, I was poisoned to death. I was in extreme pain before my death..."
His eyes showed desperate and deep hatred, and he kowtowed: "I have been looking forward to this day for too long. I am willing to help the Jurchen army open the city gate and kill the false king!"
Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Husai were not gullible. They asked the old man about his manpower and arrangements, and calmly chose the time to launch a battle to seize the door.
That night, when everything was as the old man said, after the rapid sounds of fighting, the city gate slowly opened, and the two generals were relieved, looked at each other and laughed: "Destiny is with me, Jurchen, and the Kingdom of Goryeo is over!"
