458. The first test of Pyongyang City
Under the shadow of the war, this Spring Festival was boring - at least we senior executives are like this, nervously arranging the allocation of resources in all aspects and the transfer of secret personnel, which must be completed quickly without realizing it.
On New Year's Eve, Lu Shangjun added food to the entire camp to let the officers and soldiers have a good holiday. Ye Sizhong and I also landed again with the Guanning Iron Cavalry on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and rushed to Anzhou at night from near Dingzhou, and will arrive in the mountains of Datong north of Gushan to the south of Anzhou on the night of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
Lan wanted to land with me, but I refused. On the one hand, it was out of consideration for her safety factor, but on the other hand, I asked her to command the fleet for me, and led half of the fleet and continued to intercept the logistics and reinforcements of the Japanese pirates at sea.
There is no need to mention the scene of shedding tears and having another person. If you don’t ride a horse for a long time, it is inevitable that you will be unstable to get on the horse again. Ye Sizhong laughed at me, which made me really angry.
But when the team reached the foot of Anzhou City, I was already familiar with the essence of the horse war again and became much more comfortable to control. When I entered Anzhou City, I had Li Rusong's troops who had occupied this place earlier to make the final rectification.
After several consecutive snowfalls, it’s okay to say that the cold weapons are cold. Firearms like the three-eyed gun require strict and meticulous maintenance to go to the battlefield. Weapons are the second life of warriors, so everyone is naturally doing it with great care and not mentioning it.
When I arrived in the city, I soon received the information transmission from the intelligence team led by Mo. In this place where there was rain all over the country, it was not difficult to master the dynamics, and Mo did it very well.
From then on, news from the Pyongyang front was continuously transmitted to my ears, allowing me to gradually form a relatively complete battlefield pattern and control the situation.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Li Rusong led a large army to set off from North Ping'an Road and headed straight for Pyongyang.
Since he was taking over the war peacefully, Li Rusong's troops naturally walked around the streets and alleys, showing as relaxed and happy as possible.
We can release spies, and the Japanese pirates can do it, and they will only be more professional than what we do. Therefore, to deceive the enemy, we must first deceive ourselves. Even many soldiers think that they really want to accept Pyongyang peacefully, especially among which thousands of monk soldiers in Goryeo are the best. Of course, the overall condition of other Goryeo soldiers is similar, and they all look like they are desperate and indifferent and happy.
Governor Xiaoxi was also actively preparing in Pyongyang City. All the villagers in the city were recruited and busy preparing. As for what they were doing, it goes without saying that it would definitely not be preparing for a party to welcome Li Rusong.
On the evening of the fifth day of the first lunar month, Li Rusong's vanguard arrived ten miles north of Pyongyang City. He did not go directly to the city, but instead used the night to drive piles and build pots to make rice, waiting for the arrival of the subsequent large troops.
The leader of the city, Xiaoxi, was also a drama artist. Seeing that the Ming army had arrived, he immediately sent an envoy to invite Li Rusong to the city to complete the handover ceremony.
Even a three-year-old child in Hongmen Banquet knows everything. How could Li Rusong be fooled? So he smiled and refused on the grounds that today is not a good day. It is impossible for President Xiaoxi to force himself to take the blame, right?
That night, Li Rusong's troops did not rest for a minute, and they were in a deep trench and high trench, and they were all ready to prepare for the battle.
At the same time, taking advantage of the night, he sent Jizhou guerrilla general Wu Weizhong and Liaodong deputy general Cha Dashou to lead more than 3,000 troops to attack the Japanese pirates on Mudan Peak.
Wu Weizhong was a former general of the governor of Qi Jiguang and Qi. He was best at attacking difficulties in the face of danger. He was a sharp knife. After receiving the order, he didn't say much, and took Cha Dashou, who was originally a general of the Li Chengliang family, and led his army to Mudan Peak.
The other generals investigated the terrain around Pyongyang City overnight and clarified the direction and location of their attack.
The Japanese pirates in the city were very nervous about the arrival of Li Rusong's troops. They were afraid that their fake handover would be exposed, so they strictly prohibited the soldiers in the city from leaving the city and wanted to block the news channels.
But in order to let his boss Hideyoshi Hashiba learn about the situation and arrange reinforcements as soon as possible, he sent three teams of cavalry to run southeast to inform the news.
However, without exception, these three teams of cavalry crashed into the ambush circle set up by Ye Sizhong and I at the Datong River Ferry. One was not more or less, and they were all captured or killed. In short, just as Governor Xiaoxi expected, the news was well preserved and not leaked.
But some situations always appear in unexpected ways when unexpected times.
On the morning of the sixth day of the first lunar month, the Japanese pirate general Songura Zhenxin, who was stationed on Mudan Peak, received a report from his subordinates that an unknown cavalry was found on Mudan Peak, suspected to be the army of the Ming Dynasty!
Matsuura Shinnobu immediately ordered to use iron cannons to shoot the invading enemy! However, this attack happened to hit Wu Weizhong's plan!
The reason why he did not directly attack the defenders on the mountain but wandered around was to lure the other party to attack him first and find a reasonable reason for his development - after all, the two sides still signed a temporary armistice agreement in front, so it would be unreasonable to fire the first shot first.
On the other hand, he also wanted to touch the reality of the defenders on the mountain. If he attacked rashly, the opponent would suddenly use some killer move, but he was afraid that he would not be able to take it.
But now, everything is going on according to the script. Matsuura Zhenxin's team fired iron cannons with fierce firepower. Wu Weizhong immediately ordered the team to retreat beyond the range, watch the Japanese pirates shooting from a distance, and make various insulting and provocative postures to attract the Japanese pirates to attack.
Shinnobu Matsuura was furious and ordered his troops to attack the invading enemy without saying a word! When Wu Weizhong saw that it was really out, he ordered thousands of troops to change into the back team and the back team to change into the front team, throwing down dozens of shields and other weapons to retreat to the way they came.
When Shinnobu Matsuura saw that the enemy was cowardly, he yelled and led his army to chase him. So the Ming army ran all the way to chase the Japanese pirates, and gradually reached the narrow mountain road!
The chasing of the rising chasing of Matsuura Zhenxin did not care about so many things. He led the team to break in, but heard a gong sound in front, and thousands of arrows were fired on both sides of the mountain gorge! Wu Weizhong's troops who were running away in front also turned around and killed him back towards Matsuura Zhenxin!
After three sides attacked, Matsuura Zhenxin in the narrow area couldn't bear it and began to retreat! He threw away his body all the way, but was chased by the Ming cavalry behind him and was splashed with bullets and arrows on both sides as if they were not expensive. Finally, he left nearly seven or eighty words. He threw down his weapons and started to turn around and escape, only to regret that his parents gave him two less legs!
The head of the camp was Li Rusong's younger brother Li Rubai. Seeing this formation, he was so excited that he personally led his troops to chase and killed the Japanese pirates!
As they chased and killed the Japanese pirates, the bodies of the Japanese pirates continued from the camp to the ordinary riverside! Even the Japanese pirates who had dived were shot to death on the boats in the river. The survivors fled back to Pyongyang City as if they were dead, closed down and licked the scars left to themselves by the Ming army in their bodies and spirits.
The Japanese pirates took the initiative to attack but failed, but the Ming army would take action next!
Early in the early Chinese New Year, the medium-sized cannons in Li Rusong's camp sounded, and the three armies moved together and rushed towards Pyongyang City!
Chapter completed!
