The outer city has been captured.
Even if Cui Jingshan leads the remaining troops to retreat to the inner city, it will be nothing more than Gouquan.
After the other three city gates were captured, the Goryeo army had less than 5,000 men left, and it was simply beyond their capabilities to defend the four walls.
As Zhang Heng took the lead in attacking the city walls of the inner city, the fall of the inner city was inevitable.
Even if the situation was so bad, Cui Jingshan refused to escape.
He led hundreds of soldiers to retreat into Pyongyang and started a fierce street battle with the navy.
After a fierce battle, the navy finally blocked Cui Jingshan in an alley.
Three hundred marines were holding cross swords in front, and there were five hundred naval archers on the roofs on both sides.
There were many naval soldiers coming not far behind them.
Li Jun passed through the crowd and shouted sternly: "General Cui, you are in a desperate situation.
If you resist, you will die.
Why don't you surrender as soon as possible and I guarantee with my head that the prince will treat you well?"
"Hahahahaha" Cui Jingshan laughed wildly, raised his long knife high, and shouted back angrily: "Surrender like me, just dream.
Today's matter is all about death and killing."
Following Cui Jingshan's stern roar, the remaining Korean soldiers consciously guarded Cui Jingshan and tried their best to kill outside.
He's a man When Li Jun saw Cui Jingshan rejecting his kindness, he was not angry, but felt more respect in his heart.
But even if it is respect, Li Jun will not be kind at all.
"shoot arrows" Arrows pierced the night sky, and in an instant, many people in the Goryeo army fell to the ground dead after being hit by arrows.
Not long after, the second round of arrows came like raindrops, harvesting lives one after another.
"call out" Cui Jingshan was hit by more than a dozen arrows, and his lifeless body fell on the cold bluestone pavement.
Bright red blood flowed out and stained the entire bluestone.
Li Jun looked at Cui Jingshan's body, sighed, and said, "Let's give them all a good burial."
"Yes, general."
Dozens of soldiers immediately carried out the order, collected the bodies of Cui Jingshan and others, and buried them not far from the gate of Pyongyang.
With Cui Jingshan's death, there was no one left to resist in the entire city of Pyongyang.
After a day of fierce fighting, the navy finally captured Pyongyang City Pyongyang City was the front line for Goryeo to resist and invade China.
There are a lot of food and equipment of the Goryeo Army piled here.
Ruan Xiaoqi led his men to open the granary and looked at the mountains of food.
He was immediately ecstatic.
He shouted to his men: "Watch this place.
No one is allowed to come in without military orders.
Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be killed without mercy."
"Yes, General."
The navy soldier shouted immediately.
Ruan Xiaoqi watched his subordinates put the seal on and then hurried back to report to his elder brother Ruan Xiaoer and Li Jun.
After conquering Pyongyang City, Li Jun, Ruan Xiaoer, and Zhang Heng were handling government affairs at the Zhaofu Yamen in Xijing, Goryeo.
Li Jun flipped through the household registers he had found from Xijing Zhaofu, and while looking at it casually, he asked: "Have the casualties of our army been counted?"
Ruan Xiaoer shook his head and said: "This time can be said to be the heaviest casualty since the establishment of our navy.
Including the previous capture of the water stronghold, more than 2,500 people were seriously injured or killed, and there were also some minor injuries.
There are more than a thousand people.
It can be said that the muscles and bones are broken.
I am afraid that there is no way to recover without a year of training."
Li Jun was heartbroken when he heard the number of casualties.
The navy is inferior to the army, with only more than 10,000 troops.
This resulted in more than 2,500 casualties, which was a massive hemorrhage.

Li Jun recovered quickly and said: "The heavy casualties this time are mainly because we do not have siege equipment like the army.
If we had their resources, we would not have to fight so hard.
Although the casualties this time were It's tragic, but after this battle, the prince can definitely see that our navy can fight hard, and can fight on water and land.
As long as the prince can allocate more resources to us in the future, let alone regain our strength, even if it is increased.
It doesn’t matter how many times it is.”
Zhang Heng nodded and said: "That's right, our navy is inferior to their army.
Why should we allocate good things to them first?
If we had artillery this time, we would just blow down the city gate, why bother so much?"
Ruan Xiaoer echoed: "I hope the prince can see that we are working so hard this time and will not ask for 50 or 50 points.
At least it will be 46 points."
Fei Bao, who had been silent, shook his head and said: "Don't talk about four or six, let's go to three or seven.
Our navy alone can directly destroy Goryeo."
While Zhang Heng and the others were discussing military expenditures, Ruan Xiaoqi ran in happily.
"Brother, I have great news for you.
Guess what I found?"
After hearing this, Li Jun was speechless.
When I arranged the task before, I arranged for you to inventory and seal the warehouse.
The so-called good news is nothing more than food Although Ruan Xiaoqi felt a little stupid, seeing him so excited and happy, Li Jun could only pretend to be stupid and shouted: "Oh, what's the good news?"
Ruan Xiaoqi immediately shouted happily: "There are three hundred thousand dans of grain stored in the warehouse."
What Li Jun was stunned when he heard the news.
Three hundred thousand dans of grain Li Jun shouted in disbelief: "You did your math correctly.
There are really 300,000 dans of grain.
How can there be so much?"
Ruan Xiaoqi shouted: "This Pyongyang City is an important town, and it is also the rear granary of the Goryeo Army.
These grains were recently prepared by Goryeo and were stored here.
After the Goryeo Army departs, they will be escorted to Pyongyang City where they are now.
Our army conquered it, which just gave us an advantage.”
Zhang Heng shouted excitedly.
"With so much food.
Brother Li Jun, we can rely on this to hold on.
Anyway, the prince has already planned to capture Goryeo.
Why don't we take this opportunity to give the Goryeo army a severe blow here, and then dedicate this city to the prince.
Also Let the prince see the achievements of our navy."
Li Jun was very moved when he heard it.
Once the city of Pyongyang is defended, it will be the achievement of opening up the frontier.
However, Li Jun thought again and again, and still shouted: "No, our casualties are not small.
What's more, defending the city is not what we are good at.
The prince is now busy pacifying Liao Zhongjing, and I'm afraid there will be no extra troops to support us.
Once we Being surrounded, it will be difficult to break out easily.
We still act according to the plan.
Once we find out that the Goryeo army is slowing down, we will retreat immediately."
"Then what if the Goryeo army refuses to return reinforcements?"
Li Jun sneered, "Then let's go to Beijing and scare the King of Korea.
I want to see if he dares to ignore their king."
Ruan Xiaoqi shouted: "If the Goryeo army really returns to help, will we really give up this fortified city and the food we have worked so hard to capture?"

Hearing Ruan Xiaoqi's silly words, Li Jun and Zhang Heng all laughed.
Ruan Xiaoer felt that his brother had been embarrassed, and he quickly shouted: "Shut up, don't be embarrassed here anymore."
Li Jun said with a smile: "How is it possible to send people to take away all the supplies in Pyongyang City now, without leaving even a grain of rice to the Koreans?
In addition to all kinds of supplies, even the people in the city were taken away by force. " All the Korean people in the city were kidnapped Zhang Heng and the others were startled when they heard this.
Ruan Xiaowu said: "There are nearly 100,000 people here.
Do we really want to abduct them all?"
Li Jun nodded and said, "Of course, if it weren't for a population of nearly 100,000, I wouldn't even look down on it."
Fei Bao thought for a moment and said, "Brother Li, are you trying to weaken Goryeo's potential?"
Li Jun nodded and said: "Well, the prince's main energy is now on the Liao Kingdom.
It can be seen that he has not had the energy to take care of this side in the past three to five years.
In this case, let's take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the potential of Goryeo. .
Originally, Goryeo was a small place with few people.
Without the population of 100,000 people in Pyongyang City, Goryeo would definitely be exhausted and miserable.
It would be much easier for the prince to conquer Goryeo in the future."
Li Jun looked around at the naval officers present and said: "If our navy wants to be on an equal footing with the army, in addition to having outstanding achievements, we must also show the ability to help the prince solve his troubles.
Now Liaodong is sparsely populated.
If there were Enlarging the population by tens of thousands will definitely alleviate the prince’s troubles greatly.”
Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't help but ask: "Brother Li's idea is good, but with so many people, it's not easy to transport it away."
Li Jun shouted: "Then start from now on, starting with the young and strong, women, and then the children.
The old people will be last.
Take away as much as you can."
Zhang Heng, Ruan Xiaoer, and Fei Bao looked at each other, and then all looked at Li Jun.
"In this case, let's do it.
Before the Goryeo army can react, all the ships will be mobilized to transport these prisoners back to Liaodong."
The Dingxiang navy closed all the gates of Pyongyang City, and then divided the areas.
The navy implemented military control, and all Korean people were not allowed to take to the streets.
In fact, even if the Pyongyang Navy did not have this rule, the people of Korea would not dare to take to the streets.
At night, starting from Xicheng, countless torches light up on the streets, illuminating Xicheng.
Five hundred naval archers occupied the high ground and watched the surroundings.
Soldiers with a thousand swords and shields guarded the streets to prevent the Goryeo people from rioting.
Fifty or sixty naval soldiers carried the wooden blocks and knocked open the people's doors one after another.
Then the sword and shield soldiers rushed in and dragged the young men and women out of the house.
For a time, a bloody storm broke out in Pyongyang, leaving countless blood and tears.
It is not that the people of Pyongyang rose up to resist, but it is obvious that under the huge army, personal ability is so small.
"I will fight with you" Before he could finish shouting, if he was young and strong, the navy would directly hit him with the tail of his gun, knock him unconscious, knock him down, and drag him away.
The old man might as well kill him directly.
Anyone who wanted to call on other Goryeo people to rise up and resist was rejected.
Under the violent policy of the navy, the Korean people in Pyongyang were put into carriages like pigs and then put on ships.
First they will be sent to an island, and then they will be sent to Liaodong, where there will be fields and houses waiting for them.
But the difference is that they will be supervised there, and they will not be free until the Goryeo Kingdom is destroyed.
It's cruel, but this is the reality and tragedy of a small and weak country.
When the navy plundered the people of Goryeo and returned to Liaodong.
The King of Goryeo who was in the capital had not yet received the news of the fall of Pyongyang.
The Goryeo army stationed at Xuandegguan City learned the news first.
"What are you saying that Pyongyang City was captured by the Song Army?"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Marshal Wu Yanchong of the Goryeo Army shouted sharply: "There are 20,000 troops in Pyongyang City, how could it be captured so easily?
And why did we not get any news of the Song Army's invasion?"
The deserter kneeling in the hall was frightened by Wu Yanchong's fierce eyes.
He backed away repeatedly and said: "Commander, I didn't lie.
They came by boat along the Datong River and took advantage of the night.
We didn't react at all.
When they came over, they used a new type of firearm to blow open the city wall and captured the city."
Wu Yanchong shouted: "There is a water village at the mouth of the Datong River.
Didn't anyone warn the water village?"
"Commander, it's just that no one came to warn us in the water village, that's why we were completely defenseless."
When Wu Yanchong heard this, he fell into silence.
The battleships of the Goryeo Navy were basically destroyed at the previous stop or became trophies of the Song army.
For a time, Goryeo had no warships to protect its waters.
What's more, no one has attacked Goryeo from the sea for hundreds of years.
Now no one in Korea is wary of threats from the sea.
This will allow the Song Army to succeed in their sneak attack.
"Damn it!"
Wu Yanchong wanted to kill Cui Jingshan, the remaining big city in Xijing, with one knife.
That damn guy didn't even hold on for a day before he lost Xijing.
The city of Pyongyang is crucial to the Goryeo army he commands.
Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of grain and grass stored in Pyongyang City, more importantly, Pyongyang City is the rear area of this army.
If Pyongyang City is lost, I will have no way to unite with the Liao Army to attack the Song Army with peace of mind.
Otherwise, the Song army could rush out of the city at any time and cut off their own food routes.
Food was not guaranteed, so he could go on an expedition with confidence.
Wu Yanchong felt that during this period, he was completely miserable.
Three days ago, the Liao Kingdom just sent an envoy to contact them.
The Liao Army wanted to attack the Song Army together with Goryeo.
He was ready to go to war, but now he lost Pyongyang City after gaining it.
Wu Yanchong was so angry that he wanted to chop him with a knife to vent his frustration.
Wu Yanchong simply did not dare to ignore the news of the fall of Pyongyang City and attack the Song army first.
Not to mention the great significance of Xijing, just because his important rear area is not safe, it is impossible for him to go to war with peace of mind.
Wu Yanchong ordered people to take a detour and rush to Beijing to report to the King of Korea.
While reorganizing the troops, preparations were made to recover Pyongyang City, Xijing.
The 100,000-strong army gathered again and set out again.
This wastes a whole day.
The Goryeo army had just marched to Tielzhou, but the pioneer general Li Guodong suddenly sent someone to report that a stone bridge in front had been damaged and they were now repairing it.
When the commander-in-chief Wu Yanchong heard this, he immediately became furious and shouted: "Tell you generals, it is the duty of your vanguard generals to open roads over mountains and build bridges over rivers.
Don't bother me with these things.
If you can't build the road in an hour, , I will ask him what he is."
Although the stone bridge was quickly repaired, it was still delayed for an hour.
The road conditions on the next road were very bad.
Either the stone bridge was blown away, or the mountain road suddenly collapsed, seriously blocking the road.
Along the way, the Goryeo army suffered no casualties, but it was delayed for two days before they arrived at Pyongyang.
On August 25, the Goryeo army finally arrived at Pyongyang City.
But what surprised Goryeo army commander Wu Yanchong.

The gates of Pyongyang were wide open, but there were no guards, not even a flag on top of the city.
The entire huge city of Pyongyang is like a ghost town, completely devoid of any human sounds, and the silence is terrifying.
Wu Yanchong took a gulp of water and laughed loudly, "I don't even think about how many soldiers and horses they have to make an empty city.
Could it be that they just want to scare me?
It's simply It's generous and laughable.
General Li, you immediately lead your troops into the city and give me a careful inspection to see if there is any ambush."
When forward general Li Guodong heard this, he immediately wanted to curse.
No matter it is an empty city strategy or there is an ambush in the city.
The guy who entered the city first was extremely dangerous.
Wu Yanchong now sent himself to advance into the city, with the intention of treating this general as an abandoned son.
Li Guodong hesitated and refused to step forward.
Seeing Li Guodong's delay, Wu Yanchong immediately glared at him.
"Could it be that the general wants to disobey the order?"
"The last general doesn't dare, the last general will lead his troops forward" Li Guodong had no choice but to lead his troops forward cautiously.
Along the way, they were in good spirits.
Always be alert to the situation in Pyongyang.
The group of people walked into Pyongyang City with worries, but to their surprise, they all walked into the city and some of them walked to the top of the city.
Take control of the city gate.
Still no one came to interfere.
They are all safe
Li Guodong ordered his deputy general to take two thousand soldiers and horses to survey the inner city.
He himself led three thousand people to guard the city gate, and then quickly sent a message to Wu Yanchong to indicate that the city gate was safe.
Ask Wu Yanchong to quickly bring people to support and control the other three city gates at the same time.
Seeing that there was no sign of fighting at the city gate, Wu Yanchong was completely confused.
What the hell is this Song Jun doing?
Whether you want to play an empty city strategy or play an ambush, now your troops and horses are almost controlling the city gate.
Why haven't I seen anyone killed yet?
Just when Wu Yanchong was confused, Li Guodong sent someone back to deliver a message, saying that they had completely controlled the city gate and invited the general to enter the city.
When Wu Yanchong heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
It was so easy to capture the city gate.
He couldn't help but ask, "Did you encounter no resistance at all after entering the city?"
"To the general, yes."
"Not a single enemy was seen" "Um" When Wu Yanchong heard this, he wondered if these Song soldiers had escaped.
This should be the case, if he knew that he had few soldiers and horses, and another hundred thousand troops came to kill him.
If I were the enemy's general, I'd probably abandon the city and run away.
Wu Yanchong thought that the enemy had escaped, so he immediately ordered his troops to enter the city.
He rode on a short Korean horse and walked into Pyongyang in high spirits.
Although the city of Pyongyang was captured, it was not his responsibility as the commander of the army.
Now under his command, the city of Pyongyang will not be taken back.
As soon as the Song army heard my name, they didn't even dare to defend the city and immediately abandoned the city and fled. flee without a fight What does this mean?
It means they are afraid of me, the general.
What about the Song Army?
What about the Liao Army?
In front of me, the invincible god of war, everything is nothing but a mantis trying to defeat a chariot.
Although the city of Pyongyang was captured, it only hindered our army for a while.

If he leads the army again, in front of the absolute power, these are just clowns.
Wu Yanchong walked into Pyongyang with a high temperament.
Just when he was in high spirits and feeling good about himself.
Li Guodong ran over, and when he saw Wu Yanchong, he shouted: "The general is in trouble, those gang of thieves have taken away all the food and equipment."
The Goryeo army entered Pyongyang one after another.
At this time, the forward deputy general who entered the city first hurriedly ran over.
As soon as he saw Wu Yanchong, he immediately shouted: "General, it's bad.
Except for some old men, everyone else in the city has disappeared."
What Wu Yanchong was shocked, and an uneasy feeling surged into his heart.
He shouted hurriedly: "Where have everyone gone?
Have you found out?"
The forward deputy general shouted: "You are checking the ground carefully.
Almost all the people in Pyongyang City are gone."
At this time, a Goryeo soldier was sent over quickly and shouted: "General, it's not good.
Just now, I just released an old man.
He said that the people were forcibly taken away by the gang of thieves and seemed to be sold to the Song Dynasty.
Go work as a coolie" When Wu Yanchong heard this hour, he suddenly felt like the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
It's over now Although he, the commander of the army, was not responsible for the loss of Pyongyang City, almost all the people in the city were kidnapped.
Who should be responsible for such a huge responsibility?
The guards of Xijing were all killed in the battle.
It’s impossible to let the King of Korea take on this responsibility, right?
After all that calculation, only he, the commander-in-chief, matters.
Who told him that he didn't find any trace of the enemy?
Who told him that he didn't rush to rescue people?
Wu Yanchong panicked when he thought that he might be used as a scapegoat and thrown out by the King of Goryeo to calm the grievances of the people.
He hurriedly shouted: "Quick, leave some soldiers and horses, and the others will follow me to chase.
We must stop these bandits and rescue the people."
The deputy general shouted: "General, I have asked those old men.
They said that the gang of thieves escaped from the Datong River by boat half a day ago.
And they robbed all the ships near the Datong River, regardless of size.
Gone.
Now there is no ship in the Datong River.
We have no ships and cannot catch them."
Wu Yanchong heard that his last hope was shattered.
Furious, he rolled his eyes and jumped off the horse.
"General General"
