Kai Fu Han

Chapter 367 The White Flag
The standard siege tactics used in the previous Huacheng were staged again in Goryeo.

The artillery is mainly responsible for suppressing the Korean troops on the walls on both sides of the city gate, while the muskets are mainly responsible for suppressing the enemy troops on the city gate tower.

The demolition team and grenadiers broke into the city gate tower. The grenadiers first used grenades to clear the defenders on the city gate tower, and then the demolition team began to calmly plant explosives in the city gate hole.

Two twenty kilograms of explosive bags were planted three feet apart.

After the laying was completed, the grenadiers and part of the demolition team began to retreat, leaving only two people to light the fuse.

"one two Three!"

The fuse was lit by the fire, and the two people turned around quickly, and then ran desperately towards the Xinghan Allied Forces position.

The Xinghan Allied Forces also set up a shield formation in front of the formation. After the two men came in, the shield formation was sealed again.

"boom!"

"boom!"

There were two loud explosions that almost overlapped.

The South City Gate Tower was completely opened, and then sank down again like a punctured ball.

The scattered earth and rocks flew as far as the Xinghan Allied Forces Formation, hitting the shield formation with a crackling sound, like rain hitting banana leaves.Some cunning pieces of soil flew into the military formation from the gap, and cries of pain immediately came from inside.

"Stay farther away next time." Liu Xinqi said.

"Yes, I didn't expect that the power would become so powerful in the city gate cave. Bombing the city wall was not so powerful before." Liu Xinyuan also did not expect that the power of using the wall-breaking drug in the city gate cave would increase.

After previous drills and tests, forty kilograms of improved gunpowder was enough to blow down ordinary earthen walls.

After a while, the smoke and dust dissipated, and when I looked towards the city gate tower again, I saw that the previously towering gate tower had disappeared. Even the three or four foot city wall next to it had completely collapsed, leaving only a long mound of earth with a gentle slope.

"Are we going to attack the city today?" Liu Xinyuan asked for instructions.

Liu Xinqi hesitated a little, thinking of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces in later generations and the late Qing government.

I am now like the former, and Gao Li is like the latter.

From its previous life to its later generations, Goryeo actually did not do as much harm to the land of China as the Japanese did.Speaking of which, the land of China and the Korean Peninsula are both brothers and sisters who were bullied by the Japanese and foreign powers.

Although there are weird and arrogant nations and the THAAD incident, in the final analysis, how can "semi-colonial" Xiao Han have any other choice.

If he entered the city today, he would be considered a real invasion.

Seeing Liu Xinqi's hesitation, Liu Xinyuan stopped urging, and Jiao Rui didn't say much, waiting for Liu Xinqi to make the final decision.

There were miserable cries everywhere around the Goryeo city wall ahead. Brothers, compatriots, and comrades-in-arms were buried in the ruins. The "devil" army outside the city made the Goryeo army afraid to resist at all. Only some soldiers at the bottom Spontaneously began to rescue the wounded.As for those high-ranking officials and generals, they were either killed by the explosion just now, or they evacuated to a safe place early.

The Goryeo royal family has a tradition of running away to avoid war. When encountering a formidable enemy, they would hide in Jeju Island, waiting for the situation to ease before returning to clean up the mess.

This time Liu Xinqi's offensive was too fast, too fierce, and too unexpected, and the Goryeo royal family had no time to evade.

"Leader, the white flag is raised on the other side."

Liu Xinqi looked up.

On top of the ruins of the city gate tower, a Korean soldier with dirt on his face and head stood up tremblingly, holding a white flag with the barrel of his gun.

[Setting up traps in advance, taking the initiative to stir up trouble, but pretending to be kind when trouble comes.Ah! 】Liu Xinqi said with disdain to himself in his heart, this white flag can be regarded as helping Liu Xinqi make a decision and giving Liu Xinqi a step forward.

"This world has always been about the strong and the weak, and the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. There is only this land, and there are only these few ways to survive. In this dark forest, if you want to survive, you can only fight and rob." Liu Xinqi said to himself.

It was like saying it to Liu Xinyuan and Jiao Rui, but also like saying it to myself.

[Times have changed, and the methods of competition have also changed, but the essence remains the same.Today's positional wars and future trade wars are all about fighting for a bite to eat. 】

Liu Xinqi finally figured it out and ordered Liu Xinyuan: "Enter the city!"

"Yes! Enter the city!" Liu Xinyuan shouted loudly, quite excited.

Open up the territory and expand the territory. No matter what your reputation will be in the future, as long as you enter Kaijing today, you will be famous forever.

The officers and soldiers formed their teams, arranged their uniforms, and without letting down their vigilance, ensured the best military appearance, and began to line up to enter Kaijing City.

After entering the city, the army flowed unimpeded until they reached the royal city, where they were blocked.

There are still a large number of Goryeo troops on guard and defense in the royal city.

Looking at the equipment and temperament of these Goryeo troops, it is clear that these troops are the most elite guards of the King of Goryeo.

The formation began as usual, the artillery was pulled to the front, the artillery formation was established, and preparations were made for suppression firing.

Suddenly, Liu Xinqi saw that the gate of Dewang City in front was opened from the inside, and three people came out, holding white flags and walking towards this side.

"Continue to prepare, don't shoot yet." Liu Xinqi ordered, and these three people knew they were messengers at first glance.But I don’t know whether they came for peace talks or to surrender.

Soon the three of them were searched by the soldiers in front and brought to Liu Xinqi.

"My king is willing to agree to the alliance leader's conditions and pay off the alliance leader to stop his troops." The leading envoy directly stated his intention.

"Things have progressed to the current situation, and our conditions have changed." Liu Xinqi replied.

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty." The envoy knew that the peace talks would not be easy, and he was mentally prepared.

"We demand that Goryeo cede Ganghwa Island, Qiaodong Island and Shishu Island." Liu Xinqi said.

If the map of Goryeo is compared to a spoon, Ganghwa Island is located in the center of the spoon. If these three islands are ceded to the Heunghan League, Goryeo will be equivalent to opening a door for the enemy in the hinterland of the territory.

"I would like to ask the lord for mercy. Goryeo is willing to cede the land north of the Qingchuan River in Xixi to the Guimeng. I also ask the lord to consider it. Jianghua Island is located near Kaijing, so it is really difficult to accept." The envoy said, kneeling immediately down.

The area north of the Qingchuan River is equivalent to half of the West.

"Is this the condition you said you agreed to our side?" Liu Xinqi replied with dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Your Excellency, you are kind. The land north of Qingchuan River exceeds tens of thousands of acres, which is much larger than Ganghwa Island. For the sake of the people, please stop the army and restore peace here." The envoy spoke sincerely, with tears in his eyes. Unless Liu Xinqi had a clear purpose, he might have agreed.

"The Qingchuan River is adjacent to the Kingdom of Jin to the north. Do you think that our Xinghan League will fight to the death with the Kingdom of Jin in the north, while you sit on the Diaoyutai in the south and watch the fun?" Liu Xinqi directly revealed the little calculation of the Goryeo court.

"How dare! How dare!" The envoy was so frightened that he quickly fell to the ground, but he had no way to defend himself.

Jin and Zhao are hostile, Goryeo and Jin are allies, and Xinghan League and Zhao are quasi-allies.

If Liu Xinqi agreed to this peace negotiation condition, it would be equivalent to getting an enclave between the Jin Kingdom and Goryeo, and facing the Jin Kingdom and Goryeo at the same time.
