The movements of the Song army under the city in the past two days made Li Ziqian, the commander-in-chief of the Goryeo, confused.

The Song cavalry, who had basically no help in siege, did not camp with the infantry, but were guarding outside other 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 big appetite, they obviously want to swallow the entire capital in one bite. However, when Li Ziqian saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel complacent, and the pride in his heart suddenly rose to the highest point. It turns out that the great Goryeo capital has twenty-two city gates. Can you "guard" the Song people come over?

Da Goryeo has enough soldiers to protect these city gates. With Li Ziqian taking the lead in "donating people", the city wall with a circumference of 29,700 steps can stand on average at each step, and there is still plenty of surplus. This is not the case with soldiers defending the twenty-two city towers.

The infantry of the Song people seemed to have locked in the Xuanyi Gate in Kaijing. After setting up camp outside this city gate, there was no movement.

The Goryeo people who guarded the city thought that although the group of Song people below were stupid, they knew that they had chosen the largest and most beautiful city gate to open the capital. It turned out that the Xuanyi Gate was the western gate of the royal city. The west was Jin square, and it belonged to the five constants, so it was named it. The main gate was two levels, with a tower above, and it was combined into a urn city. This gate has three gates, and the gates on the north and south sides are for ordinary people and officials to enter and exit. Only the middle gate was left for the Goryeo King to walk through. Of course, the Song envoys who came across the sea could also enter from the middle gate.

Obviously, the Song army did not have the treatment of the Song envoy at this time, just because the envoy brought rewards and alms, while the Song army brought punishment for the army. The Goryeo people always asked for money and supplies for the Central Plains, but they were unwilling to listen to the sect leader's words, without any concerns about being short of people and being soft-hearted.

The Song army's choice of attack target satisfies the vanity of many Koreans, but Li Ziqian felt that this group of Song people was too stupid and chose to open the tallest and strongest city tower in the capital as the target of attack. I don't know what kind of brain the other coach had.

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

Li Ziqian felt that this useless general was really a bit of a big deal, and immediately criticized the two of them for their wrong thoughts! How could the walls of Kaijing be threaten with just a few catapults? More than 80 years ago, it was because Kaijing's old city was broken by the Liao army that Goryeo had exhausted all the country's efforts and gritted his teeth to recruit 300,000 strong men to build the city. This was the only day to defend!

However, what made the most powerful honorary Qi in the royal city sighed was that everyone, including his ancestors, never thought that the army at the city for the first time was actually the old sect leader of the Central Plains who was said to have no military affairs, rather than the new father Daliao. Moreover, this time they no longer wanted to win over themselves, but they presided over justice for another country that almost disappeared. This made the Korean people feel a little sad after learning the news.

Only I can be so arrogant in front of you, bastard! You can't spoil others!

What is justice and justice? Is it important to have our feelings? Didn’t it just that the Emperor of Song Dynasty once again rejected the request of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to contact the Jurchens through Goryeo (although he refused it directly as early as the time of Emperor Shenzong of Song). Can you really meet with real weapons? Da Goryeo actually has its own difficulties. The Jurchen is the main target of the Hundred Years War in Goryeo. If you have reached an agreement, Da Goryeo is just a big deal!

Li Ziqian looked at the Song army camping not far from the city with a heavy expression. He was in a very complicated mood. He had already ordered all the Goryeo generals who were focusing on guarding this gate to know that they must do everything possible to capture a worthy general of the Song army, because his younger brother Li Ziliang, who was going to the Song Dynasty as an envoy, was still in the hands of the other party. Fortunately, the other party did not use this to threaten him, and was still quite talented.

"Catch as much as possible. After all, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was called a treacherous minister and should not make the revenge too deep!" When Li Ziqian went down the city, he told the general of the Dragon and Tiger Army that the only remaining eight guards agreed with him. After all, it is not enough to win the face without slapping someone in the face. He has to give the Song people some face, right?

Li Ziqian left, and he had already made up his mind to stop coming to investigate the situation every day. He knew the embarrassment of the Song people under the city who did not dare to attack and had no shame to leave. If he continued to stalemate, not to mention waiting for reinforcements from all over the country, as long as his confidant, Taku Junjing, the deputy envoy of the Northwest Army and Horses, he would be afraid that the Song people would not be able to retreat to the sea with decent attitude.

Since the problem in front of him was no longer a problem, Li Ziqian naturally turned his attention back to the court. This time his son-in-law seemed more obedient, but the dog under his command was too arrogant. For more than ten years, he always brought a group of civil servants who were ignorant of life and death to fight him everywhere. When the Song army was repelled this time, it was time to get a break. Don't think that tigers would not eat people if they closed their eyes. These fifty backbones who were loyal to Han Anren would always have a good ending.

"Zi De, I can't explain some things to them. You should know that Zi Liang is still in the hands of the Song people. You should take more responsibility for me here!"

Goryeo was a member of the Privy Council, and Li Zide, the state of Shangzhu Kingdom, was Li Zide, the cousin of Li Ziqian. They were all family members, so naturally there was no need to explain it thoroughly. He saw Li Zide responding to his cousin while personally sending Li Ziqian down the city. The two of them discussed in secret what they were talking about, and they did not dare to get close. At this moment, they suddenly heard the officers of the Privy Council report: "The guards in the gates in the north have reported that there were more than 2,000 cavalrymen moving towards Xuanyi Gate to the west!"

Li Zide was a figure like Tong Guan in the Goryeo court. He disagreed with this and said, "We will report these small things? The Song cavalry has been wandering down the city these days. Is there little such news?"

"I reported to the state of Zhu Kingdom, and there were news from the gates in the south that there were no less than two thousand cavalrymen, and they also moved towards Xuanyi Gate!" The officer added when he heard this.

This news attracted the attention of Li Zide. He looked back at his cousin and said, "Concentrate the cavalry, are they going to attack the city?"

"You and I have just come down from the city. How could these Song army infantry look like they are going to attack the city? No matter how many cavalry come, they are just bluffing!"

Li Ziqian was quite dissatisfied. The Song people should have regretted it at this time. What is the use of bringing so many cavalry for no reason? Da Goryeo is best at strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, and has the best experience in dealing with cavalry. Therefore, the Da Liao army, which had accumulated millions of people, was always unable to do anything, and finally retreated.

"Brother, I'll 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 and waved his hand to tell him to go. Then he heard Li Zide's military order spreading in the air: "I hope all the troops will go to the city to help the army defend the city!"

Li Ziqian shook his head and smiled. This cousin is still not very mature. He is just raining when he sees wind and leaves. He is about to get on the carriage and leave. However, he saw a subordinate coming to report on military information. Russia delayed for a while. After speaking, when Li Ziqian looked at the city, there was already a lot of people. Li Ziqian took a last look at the city wall, entered the carriage, and said, "Go to the palace!" r1152
