Ming Dynasty: Huddled in Beiping Dangzhi County Text Volume Chapter 206 Goryeo King JingLatest website:Goryeo King Jing, six miles to the southwest, Zhu Di led a large army along a mountain road in a mighty way

March.

A group of sentry riders wearing leather armor quickly ran over from a distance.

"Your Majesty, the King of Goryeo suddenly closed the city gate... At the same time, some cavalry sprang out from the city gates around King Jing of Goryeo and scattered in all directions. The general and others were incompetent and failed to stop them!"

"No problem!"

Zhu Di was not angry but happy, "Then Wang You, the King of Goryeo, has really been blocked by us in the King's Palace of Goryeo. Send the order and march slowly. There is no need to rush.

As for the cavalry that sprang out, they were just messengers sent by King Wangyou of Goryeo to inform King Qin of the garrison in various prefectures and cities."

Hearing this, Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and others around them couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Your Highness, we must fight quickly, otherwise our army will be in danger when the garrisons from the surrounding Goryeo cities arrive!"

Zhu Di said: "Don't worry, the army will rest for a while, and then they will bury pots and cook in front of the King of Goryeo, and then attack the King of Goryeo at night!"

"Obey!"

Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and others all nodded slightly.

Zhu Di then ordered the sentry rider on the side: "You will quickly investigate the Goryeo King's capital city for us."

"The general will obey the order!"

The sentry captain responded and hurried forward.

An hour later.

Wang Jing of Goryeo appeared in front of Zhu Di, Guo An and others.

Korea is very mountainous.

The royal palace of Goryeo was once the fiefdom of the wealthy Songak Wang family. After King Taejo of Goryeo established his family and established the Goryeo Kingdom, he built the Goryeo Palace and Imperial City in the style of the Tang Dynasty based on Songak Mountain.

However, because this area is mountainous, we could only rely on Songak Mountain to build a rectangular Goryeo Palace City with a length of 373 meters from east to west and 725 meters from north to south.

Outside the Koryo Palace, there is another imperial city that is more than a thousand meters long from east to west and more than a thousand meters long from north to south. Even the northeast wall of the imperial city has been built to the foot of Songak Mountain, which can be regarded as overlapping with the walls of the palace city.

.

Outside the palace city and the imperial city, there is a city wall with a circumference of more than 40 miles. The northern and western parts of these walls have even been built to the ridges of Songak Mountain and Centipede Mountain.

Surrounding Goryeo Wangjing, there are endless mountains in the west, southwest, south and southeast of the city.

It can be said that if the King of Goryeo had enough troops, it would be a powerful military fortress.

However, because there is only one outer city wall, if it is really surrounded by a large army, the defense is still somewhat insufficient.

In particular, as long as the enemy forces occupy the mountains outside the south of the city, or occupy Songak Mountain, the royal palace and imperial city of Goryeo will be trampled under the enemy's feet and can be breached at any time.

Hundreds of years ago, when the Liao Kingdom attacked Goryeo, Yelu Longxu led his troops to directly destroy the country and capture Kaicheng. If the King of Goryeo hadn't run so fast, Goryeo would have perished.

However, although the country of Goryeo is small, it is like an invincible little strongman and is very durable.

For hundreds of years, neither the Liao nor the Yuan Dynasty destroyed it.

Even in the Yuan Dynasty, Goryeo had to fight seven or eight times in a row before it became a vassal state of the Yuan Dynasty, but it was not destroyed.

However, at this time, the Goryeo royal family also began to build the Goryeo Royal Palace again, requisitioning 300,000 civilians and building the Goryeo Outer City, which was about 120 miles long.

Therefore, the King of Goryeo was impregnable.

In particular, a group of Goryeo generals regained their confidence after standing on the city wall on the ridge and seeing that the army of Zhu Di, King of Yan of the Ming Dynasty, only numbered more than 10,000.

Their garrison in the royal capital of Goryeo, plus the garrison in the imperial city and palace city, totaled more than 50,000 people.

Even some generals were eager to send troops out to defeat the army of King Yan of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.

And in the open wasteland two miles away from Goryeo City.

In Zhu Di's army, smoke has begun to curl up. Many Yanshan guards are already holding a steamed bun in one hand, and a bunch of people are gathered around a big pot, eating vegetables.

After meal.

On a hilltop, Zhu Di held up a clairvoyant eye in his hand and looked at the Goryeo city wall in the distance. He asked Guo An at the side: "Guo Qing, do you think those Goryeo soldiers and generals will sneak out and take advantage of the situation?"

You want to attack my army’s camp while my army is eating?”

On the side, Guo An also held a clairvoyant eye and could see the facial expressions of the Goryeo soldiers on the distant city wall.

"I don't know, but I can already see that the Korean soldiers on the opposite wall are very angry!"

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Zhu Di's expression condensed and he pointed at the tower.

"Guo Qing, look at the group of people on the wall of Goryeo. Are they Wang You, the King of Goryeo?"

"King Wangyou of Goryeo?"

Guo An was startled and quickly looked in the direction of Zhu Di's finger.

Sure enough, on the top of the largest city gate closest to the gate of the Goryeo Palace, there were a group of generals and a group of officials, surrounding a person and looking towards them.

"Your Highness, it should be the King of Goryeo, Wang You!"

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly, "Guo Qing, if our army launches an attack at this moment, can we kill the Goryeo King Wang You?"

Guo An shook his head slightly, "Your Highness, the range of the firearms of my army is insufficient, and by the time my army rushed over, the group of Goryeo generals had already protected Wang Yu and retreated...

Moreover, Wei Chen feels that a living King of Korea should be more useful than a dead one!"

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and then ordered to Qianhu Zhu Liang on the side: "Li Wang, quickly take a group of soldiers, holding an iron trumpet, and give me a message to the King of Goryeo, Wang You, and ask him to quickly
