Some Goryeo troops hid behind the goose cart, pushing the huge goose cart to block the terrible arrows.

The Koreans behind held simple wooden signs in their hands and moved forward cautiously.

They complained in Korean dialect: "Don't crowd! Get out of the way!"

"If someone runs away later, I will definitely run!"

"I don't want to die yet. I have an elder and a younger child at home!"

"These damn Jin troops forced us to come here!"

"Shh, don't talk nonsense, be careful not to be overheard by the golden man!"

"..."

They followed the crowd, shouting and cursing.

The cold wind rolled in from afar, whistling in my ears.

The screams of the soldiers of the forward battalion were faintly heard from the front, and the army slowly pushed forward amidst the rain of arrows in the sky.

Until they were only a hundred meters away from the city head, the horn of charge sounded, and the Koreans gathered their strength and began to push the goose carts hard.

The people behind them roared with all their strength, and a group of archers began to shoot arrows at the top of Xijing City to fight back.

This kind of counterattack seemed feeble, and the impact on the city was minimal.

Soon, the first batch of goose carts arrived at the city.

However, under the impact of the dense rain of arrows at the top of the city, the order of the enemy's forward charge had been disrupted.

After the arrows fell indiscriminately, many people were shot to death in the snow.

The Goryeo forward battalion who had just arrived at the city got out of the goose cart and climbed up a little, but were stabbed down one by one by the Song army defending the city with long spears.

Soon the Koreans could no longer withstand such a cruel situation.

As soon as the vanguard battalion arrived at the foot of the city tower, someone turned around and started running.

This is obviously a taboo.

This was definitely not something the Jin Army with strict military discipline could do.

The Jin army in this era was able to sweep across the Liao and Song Dynasties, and its abnormal military discipline was the top priority.

When the Jin army was fighting, the front soldiers would take one step back, and the rear soldiers would kill the front soldiers. If the rear soldiers did not kill the rear soldiers, the rear soldiers would kill the rear soldiers, and so on.

This is one of the most terrifying places for the Jin Army.

As for the current group of people, the degree of crotch stretching is directly catching up with the Song army in the first year of Jingkang.

Panic began to spread, and people rolled and crawled in despair, scrambling for their lives. Those behind did not know the situation, and nearly ten thousand people crowded under the North City and pushed.

The noisy sounds were mixed together and it was a mess.

"Stop! Don't waste arrows!" Hu Yantong said.

Shooting gradually stopped at the top of the city.

Hu Yantong said disdainfully: "These Korean people are really vulnerable. No wonder they were beaten here easily by the Jin people!"

Liu Min on the side had a red face and didn't dare to say anything.

The Goryeo army began to be defeated on a large scale.

They ran back and countless people were trampled to death.

Those who fled to the back thought they had escaped, but unexpectedly arrows flew from the Jin army's formation.

The Koreans had no choice but to turn around and run towards the city gate again. A dense army rushed towards the city gate, crying and shouting.

Soon, corpses piled up under the tower, and the snow in front was also covered with corpses.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the scout arrived at the Jin Army's commander's camp and reported the current situation.

"The Song army is indeed fully prepared." Shi Jian said, "Shangguan, I'm afraid we can't attack the city easily now."

Wanyan Bali quickly nodded: "Surround the enemy instead of attacking, forcing the Song army to leave the city for a decisive battle!"

After returning to the main hall, Hu Yantong said: "The troops coming are the Goryeo army, not the Jin army. They have been defeated. This is a test."

"How is the military intelligence investigation of the Jin Army going?"

"Scouts reported that the number of enemy troops may be more than 50,000."

"The number of Jin troops cannot be so large. Most of them should be Koryo troops."

Miaoqing said: "As long as the enemy can't attack us, that's fine."

Zhang Qing said: "This is a test by the Jin people. Once they find that we have fully defended the city, they will definitely surround us without attacking and trap us to death."

"so what should I do now?"

“Play it by ear.”

Five days passed, and the Jin army never attacked the city again.

December 21st.

The defenders on the top of the city were in strict formation, and batches of armored Song troops came out of the city to form formations.

"Report! The Song Army has left the city!"

Wanyan Bali suddenly got up from the bed and said: "Send the order for the entire army to assemble!"

The Jin Army barracks also took action.

Outside the Jin army camp, there was a pile of heads. They were the heads of Goryeo soldiers who had escaped from the city five days ago.

In order to deter the entire army, the Jin army commander's methods were very crude and simple.

Teams of Jin troops quickly assembled. Although they were wearing armor, they moved quickly and agilely.

The Goryeo army was placed on the left wing, and a group of well-equipped kidnapper horses were placed on the right wing.

Soon, the two sides lined up and faced off outside Xijing City.

The Song army dispatched 10,000 troops, and another 10,000 troops were from the Goryeo army.

The Jin army also had 10,000 troops, and another 30,000 Korean troops were on the left wing.

In the past few years, the battles between the Song Army and the Jin Army had one characteristic: strategy.

For example, Zhao Ning started a party battle and seduced the exhausted Wanyan Zonghan into a decisive battle.

For example, Yue Fei raided Wanyan Chang and Wanyan Zongfu, and also raided Jin Wushu in Xuzhou.

When Han Shizhong defeated Yan Zongmin on Jingdong East Road, he also designed a surprise attack from behind.

Even after Wu Jie beat Yan Chao's mother, he still used exhaustion tactics.

But don't forget, not every military operation can lead the enemy into a trap.

The right way to fight a war is to rely mainly on the hard power of the army and supplement it with cunning tactics.

At the moment, the Jin army is coming all the way, plundering the Korean people's food. The army has sufficient food and high morale. It is definitely the normal performance level of the Jin army.

As for the Song army, there was no strategy that could be used in this war.

Challenging the enemy head-on was the Song army's only option.

This was also the first time that the Song Army fought a positional battle against the Jin Army under normal conditions since the three years of Jingkang's resistance against the Jin Dynasty.

The front line of the Song Army was led by Hu Yantong, and the center was led by Zhang Qing.

Not long after, the armies of both sides formed a formation, and the forward battalions of both sides began to advance.

After a while, the most elite armored infantry from both sides charged together.

Among the chaotic sounds of fighting was the sound of iron tools clashing against each other.

Under normal conditions, the Jin army immediately showed their terrifying strength, roaring and charging forward like tigers and wolves.

The forward battalion of the Divine Guards was already well-equipped, but they fell behind!

Not long after, nearly a thousand Song troops died in the battle.

The Jin army also suffered many casualties.

The hammers on both sides were bent, and countless people were smashed into shape.

The armor all over Hu Yantong's body was stained red with blood.

The following Song troops immediately added up quickly, rushing forward silently one by one, quickly filling the gaps.

A battle report was sent to Zhang Qing, and Zhang Qing held his breath.

He knew that the Jin Army also had the trump card of Guaizima.

Of course, the Song army also prepared a group of cavalry and a considerable number of infantry armor, which were distributed on both wings to protect the central army.

When the forward battle situation was fierce, the Jin Army's kidnapper took action.

The critical moment that will determine the next situation in Goryeo has arrived.
