The army of the captives who left the city began to run wild as soon as they left the city. There's no formation, it's just a quest for speed. Screaming, full of momentum.

Running at the forefront were the sword and shield soldiers in the captivity. As they ran, they struck their shields with their knives, a sound that would have frightened them if they had faced the recruits.

Behind the sword and shield soldiers are the archers in the captivity. With a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, he was ready to approach and use a rain of arrows to hit the Ming army in front of him to cover the charge of his accomplices.

Even on both sides of this Jianyu army, there were more than 300 horsemen, covering the flanks of the infantry army, and at the same time, they also rapidly approached the side of the Ming army, creating enough pressure on the Ming army.

In the face of Jianyu's rapid advance, if the Ming army did not prepare in advance, then there would definitely be panic. can only dispatch troops while sending troops to intercept Jianyu's approach.

However, because Emperor Chongzhen had insight into the opportunity, the Ming army had already secretly completed the arrangement.

In the side van in front of Jian Yu, the Hongyi cannon, which had been prepared for a long time, suddenly let out an angry roar.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Iron bullets smashed out at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye. Seeing that on the way of Jianyu's charge, the crowd that was running suddenly appeared a few bloody ditches. It's like a piece of cloth that, all of a sudden, has been cut by a few threads.

Although the number of casualties was very limited, the ploughing out of these blood ditches made the running Jianju stunned.

It is also thanks to the Jianyu in front of him that he is an elite, and he knows that he cannot stop during the charge. Therefore, although they were also afraid that the iron bullet would fall on them, they did not hesitate to charge.

However, behind the army of 1,000 Jianlu, many of the troops composed of various ethnic groups in Liaodong were so frightened that they stopped, looking at those companions who were hit by iron bullets, and in the blink of an eye, they became fragmented and shocked.

The smoke from the Hongyi cannon had not yet dissipated, and the Jianyu pioneers, who were charging, were surprised to find that one after another arrows broke through the smoke and covered the sky within their line of sight, falling on them like rain. So, as they continued to charge, they tried to shrink their bodies, trying to shield themselves from the rain of arrows with their shields.

The sound of "dingding......dingding" arrows falling to the ground is like a big bead and a small bead falling on a jade plate, constantly ringing.

The luckier Jianyu used his shield to block the arrows, but there were also many unlucky ghosts who were nailed to their bodies by the missed arrows. Or nailed into the flesh, or hung on armor.

Seeing the offensive of the Ming army, many of the armies of all ethnic groups in Liaodong subconsciously retracted. They didn't want to rush forward head-on and use their flesh and blood to meet the Ming army's rain of arrows.

Before the Jianyu who had not been hit by the arrow had time to rejoice, they heard the sound of horses' hooves in their ears, and the sound was slowly speeding up. In the midst of his busy schedule, some Jianyu looked sideways, and suddenly, they were all frightened.

I saw that on both sides of the Jianyu army, there was a heavy cavalry of the Ming army, which was inserted diagonally under the cover of the light cavalry, and it was inserted into the disjointed place of the Jianyu army.

At the head of the city, Dorgon had been watching. He was still thinking that the Ming army was so shocked by the army he sent, and he didn't know where there would be a flaw. This must be discovered at the first time, and he will send a follow-up army, seize the fighter plane, and teach the Ming army a hard lesson.

However, not to mention that any flaws were found, as soon as this army was sent out, it was hit head-on by the Ming army. Artillery, bows and arrows, and even heavy cavalry were dispatched, and the battle was only a sign of it, and Dorgon's vast experience told him that it was bad!

Therefore, he did not hesitate to give the order and Mingjin to withdraw his troops. The purpose of sending troops to battle has also been achieved, that is, the Ming army outside the city is very well defended, and the reaction is very fast, which is very difficult to deal with.

However, even if Dolgon withdrew his troops in time, under the heavy attack of the Ming Hussar Battalion, at least 500 elite Jianyu were cut off from retreating and could not retreat into the city.

These captives were also fierce enough, and when they saw this, they immediately began to shrink into formation, trying to fight their way out and flee back to the city.

However, in this day and age, it is no longer the individual who can decide everything on the battlefield. Flesh and blood is flesh and blood, and in front of gunpowder weapons, everything is scum.

Dolgon, at the head of the city, closed his eyes in pain, not wanting to see the elite soldiers of the Qing Dynasty fall under the attack of firearms like that.

This temptation made him have to admit that the army led by the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom was indeed elite. At least the reaction is very fast.

Thinking about this, Dorgon was a little worried. At the same time, he was a little puzzled. As soon as the Ming army came up like this, they put on a posture to besiege Tashan. Aren't they afraid that the Qing army heard the news and came to reinforce it. In this way, internal and external attacks, whether the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom can go back is a question!

At this moment, he suddenly felt that it was necessary for Huang Taiji to arrange for him to negotiate with Ming Guo on the matter of King De to paralyze Ming Guo. But why was there negotiations, and the emperor of the Ming State personally led the army to Liaodong? There's no way he's going to know that Liaodong is actually empty, right? Or did the blind cat meet the dead mouse?

Others may not know, but Dolgon himself knows in his heart that in the short term, it is impossible for him to have large-scale reinforcements, unless he can hold out until the time when Huang Taiji's army is victorious.

Thinking about it this way, the situation in front of me is very tricky.

At this point, Dorgon suddenly regretted it.

Since Tashan was defeated by the Qing Dynasty, it has not properly repaired the broken city wall. Before, the Qing Dynasty thought that there was no need for this at all. Because of the great courage given to the Ming army, they didn't dare to come out of the turtle's shell.

What I didn't expect was that the Ming army really came to fight Tashan, and it was the emperor of the Ming Kingdom who personally led the army to fight Tashan.

Tower Hill, can it still be defended?

While Dolgon was worried about the busy Ming army outside the city, Lu Xiangsheng was also worried about the Korean Phi Island.

The Ming army that gathered on each island was only 7,000 people in total, which was already the largest force he could assemble in his hands. However, in the construction of North Korea, there were 30,000 horses. If they wanted to rescue North Korea head-on and directly confront the Jianyu army, the Ming army would definitely have no chance of winning.

In the face of Kim Sang-hun's repeated pleas, Lu Xiangsheng had no choice, North Korea must be saved, and he must not sit idly by and watch North Korea be destroyed by Jian.

However, the situation in North Korea is not so bad that it cannot be rescued.

This time, the Jianyu did not go straight to Seoul, but burned and looted all the way, robbing North Korea of I don't know how many supplies.

The Jianyu army was still more than 200 miles away from Seoul, and the main force continued to attack and advance in the direction of Seoul. In the rear, the North Korean general Lim Kyung-yeol led the army to defend Pyongyang and was not taken down by Jian. Outside the city, there are only tens of thousands of horses.

Hearing the general situation of the battle, Lu Xiangsheng made a decision to attack the enemy in Pyongyang, cut off the rear route of Jianguo, and force the main force of Jianyu to abandon the attack on Seoul.

"Your Excellency the Governor, what about Seoul? In case the main force of Jianyu abandons the back road, the king will be in danger! Kim Sang-hun was not satisfied with this and immediately pleaded.

Lu Xiangsheng heard this, and said with a stern face: "For the invasion of Jianyu, it should have been expected a long time ago. The DPRK should also be well prepared for war. Seoul is a rare fortified city in Korea, and the Jianyu is not good at attacking the city, so will it not be able to defend it? If the lonely city is firmly defended, the city cannot be defended. Now that there are officials outside, Seoul will definitely have no worries. When this official defeats the Jianyu of Pyongyang and joins forces with your Korean forces, the Jianguo who attack Seoul will definitely retreat! ”

He was not swayed by Kim Sang-heon, and the explanation was already there, so he rescued according to the best plan he thought of. When Kim Sang-hun heard this, he had no choice but to send someone back quickly to report the news to the lord of the country, and at the same time cooperate with Lu Xiangsheng's side to launch a rescue for Pyongyang first.

The land of North Korea is already in chaos at this time. Jianlu looted everywhere, and there were Jianyu almost everywhere. Traces of burning, killing and looting can be seen everywhere, broken walls and ruins, corpses are everywhere, and they are not too common.

Pyongyang is the most famous fortified city in the north of Korea, and the surrounding dignitaries and nobles fled into Pyongyang one after another at the first time of the invasion. Even the people in the surrounding area have taken refuge in Pyongyang.

Lin Qingye immediately organized manpower to start defending. After only one unsuccessful attempt to attack Korea, the army of Jianguo stationed 10,000 troops outside the city to besiege it, and the other troops crossed Pyongyang and continued south.

At this time, Lin Qingye had a sad face, standing on the head of the city, overlooking the camp outside the city.

He was very worried in his heart, and he didn't know if Seoul could be defended. Lu Xiangsheng may not know, as a well-known general in North Korea, he is naturally more familiar with the domestic situation. Although he had already prepared for war, he did not have much confidence in the defense of Seoul. Now I can only pray in my heart that Seoul will last a little longer.

In fact, the situation in Pyongyang is not very good either. As the commander-in-chief of Pyongyang, he certainly knows the situation in the city best.

With the strength in his hands, if he wants to go out of the city to repel the army outside the city, it is impossible to think about it. If it was just defense, there was one thing that worried him the most in the city, that is, there were too many people flocking into the city, and the food and grass in the city would not last long.

In a word, North Korea's own strength alone is simply not capable of coping with the offensive of the Jianyu.

For this reason, he stands at the head of the city every day, and one of his habitual actions is to overlook the Datong River. I hope to see that the sailors of the Ming army will appear one day.

The Jianyu outside the city was led by Yue Tuo. He didn't focus on the city of Pyongyang, in fact, he was just stationed outside the city and watched Pyongyang. At least half of his troops have been sent out by him to continue to raid the surrounding area. Every day, Jianyu goes in and out of the barracks, and he should not be too busy.

On this day, Yue Tuo was verifying the looted materials, and suddenly, a fast horse sailed into the camp and rushed to him to report: "Lord Belle, the Ming Navy has entered the Datong River, and there are at least a hundred large and small warships. ”

Of course, Jianyu will not ignore the Ming Water Division, just at the entrance of the Datong River, there is a patrol post, so he can know the movements of the Ming Water Division at the first time.

When Yue Tuo heard this, he immediately put down everything in his hand, and said with great joy in his heart: "I didn't expect it to be fed by the emperor." If Pyongyang is left without fighting, the Ming army can be lured ashore. ”

So, while ordering the horse to explore the movement of the Ming army, he sent someone to fly to Liaodong quickly.

However, on the surface, what should be done in the camp and what should be done, and there is no special response.

When the Ming Navy Division appeared on the Pyongyang River, Jianyu seemed to come back to his senses, and immediately blew a whining horn and began to prepare for the battle.

At the head of Pyongyang, the North Korean soldiers looked at the countless Ming warships, and they were thunderous with joy, sweeping away their worries for many days, and crying with joy one by one. The Ming reinforcements arrived, which meant that they had a backer.

Pyongyang's guard Lin Kyung-yep was the first to go out of the city. Especially when he saw that the chief general of the Ming army turned out to be Lord Lu, the governor of Baoding, he was even more overjoyed. Even the Governor General came in person, which means that the Ming army is pouring in, and on Pyongyang's side, the Jianyu will not have an advantage.

Sure enough, 5,000 Ming soldiers came down from the ship one after another, and drove into the city of Pyongyang under the eyes of Jianyu. The number of reinforcements has reached the limit of the Ming army.

"No need to be polite!" Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand, and after signaling to Lin Qingye, he immediately asked what he was most concerned about, "How is the movement of Jianyu?" ”

"Back to the Governor, it seems that Jianyu has no intention of attacking the city, he just loots every day, scrapes the ground, and doesn't let go of anything, they are just a bunch of brutes!" Lin Qingye listened and replied very angrily.

Lu Xiangsheng was not surprised when he heard this. Before the captivity, there were still raids and raids.

Hurriedly climbed to the top of Pyongyang and looked at the camp of Jianjiao.

Because of the arrival of the Ming army, the strength of Jianyu outside the camp has begun to shrink, and groups of men and horses continue to converge on the camp.

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, feeling a little regretful in his heart. The troops in hand have just arrived by boat, and they still need to rest and recuperate before fighting. In addition, the cavalry will come to help by land, and it will take time to wait. Otherwise, they should launch an offensive against Jianyu as soon as possible, and maybe it will be effective.

Thinking so, he turned his head to look at the Korean soldiers on the city. If the North Korean soldiers are available, they don't have to rest, but they can contain a wave of Jianqing. However, when he saw it, his heart sank, and he dispelled this thought.

The North Korean soldiers are all yellow-faced and thin. Just in terms of physical strength, they are far less strong than Jianyu. Moreover, they don't have much armor on them, they are dressed in tatters, and in Lu Xiangsheng's eyes, they can't be considered an army at all.

From Lu Xiangsheng's eyes, he could see at a glance that the training of the North Korean army must be very ordinary. Such an army, with the city wall as its backing, is okay to defend, but if you go out of the city and build a captive field, then don't even think about it.

After getting this conclusion, Lu Xiangsheng gave up his illusions and immediately gave the order to go down, and the Ming army seized the time to rest. As soon as the cavalry arrived, they prepared to launch an offensive against the camp of Jianyu.

The battle to break the siege of Pyongyang cannot be dragged on for too long, no matter how long it is said.
