Chapter 63 Concessions
The rich are not lewd and the poor are happy, and the man is a hero!
When he is abroad, his father-in-law must protect himself, which is a man's instinct.
Although the Motianling was occupied by the Koreans, the father-in-law was not discouraged by this, and then had the idea of returning to the country, but the fighting spirit was even stronger, vowing to let the Korean reactionaries understand what the dictatorship iron fist from the Ming Empire was!
Damn, give birth to a great grace and create a great grace, the angel Mo said to ask you for some small money, even if you make all the kingdoms change, that is, it will also make it!
Since ancient times, there is no father and no son!
It's just that lessons are lessons, and my father-in-law's personal life is still the same.
When leading the army outside, there can be no singing, dancing and entertaining prostitutes, and the imperial court is also strict in this regard, and the father-in-law, as a personal envoy, must pay attention to diplomatic influence.
But it's time to eat, it's time to sleep.
After drinking the lamb whip soup and chewing the Korean ginseng, the father-in-law calmly lay down, and the scattered sounds of gunfire and shouting from outside could not wake him up from his sleep at all.
What a calmness!
Those who know are moved.
Of course, the main thing is that the father-in-law drinks too much.
Previously, my father-in-law asked if there was tiger whip soup, but in the previous life, it was expensive, and my father-in-law couldn't afford to taste it, but in this life, he had the conditions, so he wanted to ask, but the North Korean side replied no.
My father-in-law didn't believe it, saying that there were mountains and mountains here, how could there be no tigers.
But not really.
If not, there will be no one, and my father-in-law will not embarrass Park Jung-tae and Hyun Woo, so he fell asleep with a lot of sheep whip soup.
What is it called?
It is called not afraid of danger, it is called confident, it is called strategic contempt for the enemy, and tactically it is even more contemptuous...
It can also be called a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water...
Seriously, the combat effectiveness of the North Korean army, the father-in-law really didn't pay attention to it, if the North Korean soldiers in Motianling could lift the father-in-law off the bed, the father-in-law would definitely shout "Banzai!" without saying a word! Since then, the color of the stick has changed.
Since ancient times, what kind of officer leads what kind of soldier.
With the father-in-law's unruly performance, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Imperial Army were not afraid of the harassment of the North Korean army in Motianling, but the officers and soldiers of the North Korean brigade were really afraid. This Ming army is about to be defeated, and their fate as a "puppet army" can be imagined.
Therefore, Hyun Woo, Zheng Ji-sung and other officers repeatedly approached Park Jung-tae and wanted to ask the latter to go to the angel camp to ask the heavenly soldiers to help them defend the camp.
"What's the panic? The angel slept. ”
Park Zhengtai smiled faintly, the occasional flashing lights in the darkness in the distance were not to worry, and the night attack commanded by Han Gui could not shake the Great Tomorrow Army.
Angel slept?
The hearts of all the North Korean generals also fell together, the big battle is imminent, the boss sleeps so soundly, this is a sign of great victory.
Sure enough, it turned out that the worries of the North Korean officers and soldiers were unnecessary.
The trenches made the North Korean troops who were attacked at night sigh, and the mines and sharp bars deployed in the mountains and forests on both sides made it difficult for them to sneak in front of the enemy camp.
Finally, after paying more than 100 casualties, Han Gui had to order the county soldiers to stop the night attack on the Ming army.
The night sky was quiet, and there was no echo in the hollow valley until the dawn came.
The defeat of last night's attack prompted Han Gui, the defender of Motianling, to realize that the gap between himself and the Ming army was indeed not small, so he changed his previous thinking of taking the initiative to attack, and instead hoped to take advantage of the geographical advantage to kill and injure a large number of enemy troops, and then join forces with the main force of the forbidden army led by General Liu, and the battle would be decided.
This idea was supported and agreed by Liu Xifen, who had already led the main force of the forbidden army to start going up the mountain. But he was always in the back mountain, and he did not seize the time to go up the mountain to prepare for the attack.
In his heart, General Liu still hoped that the soldiers in front of him would be able to consume more enemy troops.
…………
At midnight, after Gonggong Wei finished grooming, he came to the front of the officers and soldiers surrounded by the guards, and looked at the wooded Sky Ridge in the distance, and he gave the order to attack.
"The glory of the empire is here, I hope that all the monarchs will carry forward the spirit of the imperial army to dare to fight, dare to fight, dare to rush and dare to die, advance bravely, and put down all the traitors!"
The staff officer of the military record as follows: "On that day, the public and the generals said: We are convinced that the loyalty and courage of the people will magnify the glory of the emperor, eradicate the root cause, establish the eternal peace of Korea, and maintain the honor of the empire. ”
After the order to attack was issued, the soldiers and their masters first drilled out of the camp with planks and quickly paved the trenches, and then the officers and men of the brigade drove out of the camp one after another.
The Korean generals on the ridge clearly saw that the enemy army under the ridge was divided into three large infantry formations, each with about 2,000 men and horses, but it was difficult to distinguish which formation was the Ming army and which was the puppet soldiers of Jingcheng. It is also impossible to determine where the direction and focus of the enemy's attack will be.
According to the prior deployment, Li Rui, the envoy of Ping'an Province, led more than 1,200 troops to defend the first line, and Hongyuan County soldiers and horses Yuhou Park Zhengyong led more than 1,000 troops to defend the halfway up the mountain, choking the first line of the road.
Ping'an Dao soldiers and horses were restrained with Wu Zhongshuo and Xianxing County soldiers and horses were restrained by Cui Rongshi, each leading more than 1,000 troops to garrison the second line of the mountain.
Han Gui himself led more than 600 elite soldiers to maneuver and respond at any time.
This deployment made good use of the terrain of Motianling, and also learned from the lesson of Han Kecheng, the military envoy of the Northern Dao, who guarded Motianling and only deployed soldiers and horses on the ridge, and failed to deploy troops on the mountainside. This led to the Japanese army easily attacking the upper half of the mountain, and then surrounded Han Kecheng's troops on the ridge, cutting off the water source, and finally causing the Han army to collapse and defeat.
According to Han Gui's deployment, if the Ming army wants to attack Shangling, it will definitely have to pay a lot of casualties. However, perhaps due to the failure of last night's night attack, the morale of the soldiers in the DPRK counties did not seem to be high, and even many officers were nervous.
Han Gui can understand this.
After all, the military might of the Ming Dynasty was terrible and powerful for North Korea.
Less than 20 years have passed since the "Imjin Rebellion", and the performance of the Ming army in the rebellion is really a deep memory for the Korean military and people. Now, the soldiers have to fight against the Ming army that can defeat the Japanese people, and their confidence is definitely insufficient. In addition, the failure of last night's attack must have been fearful of the Ming army in their hearts.
However, this is not a reason for war cowardice, the Ming army has changed from a protector to an aggressor, and the Korean army must take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the country and defending the territory!
The so-called country raises soldiers for a thousand days, and the soldiers are used for a while!
Han Gui swore that he would use the lesson of blood to make the Ming people deeply realize that although the vassal was weak, he must not be bullied!
The attack of the Ming army began, and at the sound of the horn, the three large arrays of Ming troops launched together, swarming towards the skyscraper.
Looking down from the ridge, the black pressure is overwhelming, which is very terrifying.
According to the advance attack plan, the attacking force was divided into three parts.
The first attack detachment consisted of 800 Imperial Army warriors led by the Ming army general Higashimura Taro, and two brigades of Korean officers and soldiers led by the Korean brigade general Hyun Woo.
The second assault detachment consisted of more than 2,500 Korean officers and soldiers led by Chung Ji-sung, the general of the Korean brigade, and hundreds of Ming imperial guards.
The third attack detachment was composed of 900 imperial warriors led by the Ming general Hu Quan, and 1,400 Korean soldiers.
The rest of the departments formed a reserve team, which was unified under the command of Ding Xiaogong, a general of the Ming army.
Wei Gonggong did not use the officers and soldiers of the Korean brigade as cannon fodder, but used the Ming Imperial Army as the backbone of the attack, and this troop allocation made the officers and soldiers of the Korean brigade admire.
……….
Han Gui was always judging which attack direction was the focus of the Ming army, but the Ming army did not seem to delineate which direction was the focus of the attack, and thousands of attack teams composed of the Ming army and the Jingcheng puppet army all poured up the mountain, without even testing before the battle.
This made Han Gui feel anxious, and he was very worried that Li Rui, the commander of the Ping'an Dao soldiers and horses, and Pu Zhengyong, the Marquis of Hongyuan County, who were on the front line, would probably not be able to resist the impact of such a scale of the Ming army, because the combat effectiveness of the county soldiers led by the second general was very low.
In the matter, Li Rui and Park Zhengyong, as generals facing the pressure of the Ming army on the front line, were very afraid of the Ming army launching such a large-scale attack, but the two had no other choice but to stick to it.
After the Ming army brigade in the red sea poured up to the Sky Ridge, although they were afraid of the Ming army from the bottom of their bones, the Korean soldiers on the ridge still firmly grasped their weapons under the reprimand of the officers, and were ready to fight to the death with the Ming army that rushed up.
Although the Ming army at the front was not in order because of the mountainous terrain, everyone was scrambling to be the first and their morale was very high. How much did Li Rui, the envoy of Ping'an Dao, hope that it was the puppet soldiers of Jingcheng who attacked him, but he soon found that it was the main force of the Ming army that attacked him, because the guns held by the Ming army who went up the mountain were definitely not equipped by the puppet soldiers of Jingcheng.
"Pass the order, and those who retreat without a military order will die!"
Seeing that the Ming army had rushed closer, Li Rui knew that he had no reason to retreat at this moment, and once he retreated, the rout would inevitably lead the Ming army to break the defense line on the mountain. Only now, there is only one way to fight to the death.
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"
Li Rui roared loudly, and suddenly the archers of the North Korean army shot down one arrow after another, and dozens of fire guns were also fired.
After discovering that the Korean soldiers on the mountain were shooting arrows, the Ming troops who came up below immediately blocked a wooden shield in front, and nearly 100 Ming soldiers and Korean soldiers wearing iron armor or double armor carried wooden shields and moved forward without fear.
They were followed by hundreds of gunners, who under the command of the officers continued to fire their guns up the hill, even if they could not effectively shoot the enemy due to the attack on the back, but the sound of guns and smoke could provide cover for the armor soldiers in front.
The North Korean soldiers who followed behind followed closely with a loud roar, and the momentum looked very scary.
After several rounds of firing between the two sides, the difference in the fighting qualities of the soldiers was immediately apparent. The counterattack of the North Korean army has never stopped, but the pace of the Ming army's advance has never stopped.
Seeing that the Ming army was advancing step by step, and if no effective measures were taken, the Ming army would rush into the defense line, Li Rui had to grit his teeth and order the two hundred warriors who had been selected long ago to launch a counter-charge down the mountain, and he himself was also the first soldier.
"Kill!"
Li Rui jumped down from a height and rushed down without hesitation. Seeing that the envoy was so brave, the Korean soldiers were immediately inspired and rushed down the mountain with a roar.
After discovering that the Korean soldiers above rushed out, the Ming army in front of them immediately went up, and the armor and shield men discarded the wooden shields, pulled out the long knives at their waists and rushed forward, and the guns behind also followed with a shout with fire guns. Driven by the Ming army, thousands of Korean soldiers with various weapons also climbed up like a tide.
After the two sides came into close contact, the sound of guns soon rang out, and dozens of North Korean soldiers fell to the ground in response.
How could there be any immortals in the rushing battle, Li Rui didn't care about the casualties of dozens of people, and raised his arms and shouted for the soldiers to rush over desperately and crush the Ming troops who were attacking on their backs.
Hand-to-hand combat soon ensued between the two sides on the hillside, with occasional soldiers falling and rolling down the hill.
When the battle was in full swing on this side, the defense line of Hongyuan County's soldiers and horses on the other side, Marquis Park Zhengyong, was quiet.
The reason is that the Ming army stopped at a distance of dozens of zhang close to Pubu, and then someone shouted to the mountain with a tube rolled into iron sheets: "General Park, Gonggong Wei of the Ming Imperial Army asked me to bring you a message, this is your last chance, if you don't surrender again, the preferential conditions given by Gonggong before will be given to others!" ”
