At noon the next day, in the east of Pyongyang, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and a cavalry army in red uniforms galloped from a distance, waving the Ming military flag high, so that the guards at the head of Pyongyang could not help but cheer immediately.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard the news, he immediately went to the city to watch.

Scattered around Pyongyang, the Jian's captives were fleeing back to their camp from a distance, when the Ming cavalry roared and rushed straight to the city of Pyongyang.

That's right, this cavalry army is the 2,000 cavalry led by Li Dingguo, who came by land after landing on the seaside.

"Pass on the military order of this official, assemble the whole army, and prepare to go out of the city to attack the camp of Jianyu!" Lu Xiangsheng looked at it for a while, and immediately ordered.

When Li Laiheng, the young general next to him, heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly reminded: "My lord, the cavalry has just arrived, do you want to rest first?" ”

Lin Qingye was also shocked, and also advised: "My lord, it's not a day worse than left and right, why don't you talk about it tomorrow?" ”

Kim Sang-hun is self-aware of military matters, and someone has already proposed it, but he didn't speak. However, it can also be seen from his expression that he is in favor of the cavalry resting.

However, after Lu Xiangsheng glanced at them, his face turned serious, he shook his head and said, "Time is running out, we can't afford to wait!" ”

Speaking of this, seeing their somewhat disapproving expressions, he explained to them: "Before the Korean war began, why did Jianyu negotiate with his own official to discuss the matter of King De? ”

After a pause, he saw that some of them looked confused, so he said directly: "What Jianguo is afraid of is that our Dongjiang Army will send troops to contain Jianguo, so I first stabilized my official and made it smoothly attack Korea." And at this point, this officer led the troops to help, and Jianyu must have a plan to pull out the thorn in the flesh of the Dongjiang Army! This official predicts that if the war drags on on Pyongyang's side for a long time, the Korean captives will definitely give up attacking North Korea and immediately encircle Pyongyang, trying to take advantage of this opportunity to destroy our Dongjiang army! ”

If you can't even guess this purpose of Jianyu, Lu Xiangsheng is not Lu Xiangsheng.

He pointed to the camp outside the city and said in a very affirmative tone: "When our army first arrived, not only did the Jianyu not take the opportunity to test the attack, but immediately retracted its defense, which shows that it was holding on and waiting for reinforcements. The official was sure that the Jianyu army that attacked Seoul would definitely turn around and come back to help when they heard the news. An army of 30,000 captives is enough to eat us! ”

"And as long as Jianlu eats my Dongjiang army, he will have no worries, and he can calmly attack Seoul!" When Lu Xiangsheng said this, his expression became more and more serious, and he continued to point to the camp outside the city with his hand and said: "The plan and the strategy to break the situation now lies in whether our army can defeat this Jianyu army before the reinforcements arrive. The success or failure of the Korean war is only a matter of sight. Time is running out, and this official is not talking casually. ”

He had already explained so clearly, whether it was Li Laiheng or Lin Qingye, they all realized the seriousness of the matter, and their faces became extremely serious.

When Kim Sang-hun heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little pessimistic in his heart. Outside this city, there are about 10,000 prisoners, how can it be so easy to defeat them?

Thinking so, he opened his mouth and asked Lu Xiangsheng: "Your Excellency, I don't know if there is an urgent report to the Beijing Division, and then send reinforcements to come?" ”

"Jingshi is far away on the other side of the sea, although this official has an urgent report, but it takes time for the news to be transmitted, even if reinforcements are sent, it will take time. This official is worried that on the North Korean side, it will not be able to hold out at all until our Ming reinforcements arrive. Lu Xiangsheng looked at him and said solemnly, "In fact, this time, if Jianyu rushes forward as before, the officials are worried that Hancheng has been lost." It is also a loss that Jianyu mainly plundered this time, and did not take Seoul directly. However, this is not necessarily a good thing! ”

After sighing like this, Lu Xiangsheng collected his mood, turned to Lin Qingye and ordered: "In this battle, you must also send musketeers to assist, line up alone, and after this officer defeats the enemy in front of you, take advantage of the situation to attack!" ”

For the North Korean army, Lu Xiangsheng did not hope that they would fight a tough battle, but in order to defeat the Jianyu army in one fell swoop, it was not enough to rely on the Ming army alone. Therefore, he had to make demands on the North Korean army as well.

When Lin Qingye heard this, he immediately agreed: "Your Excellency the Governor, rest assured, this is the last general who will personally lead the army into battle, and will not drag down the Heavenly Army." ”

He himself knows what the actual combat strength of the North Korean army is. Therefore, he said this, and made up his mind that he must not lose face.

As a result, the city of Pyongyang immediately moved. Both the Ming army and the North Korean army began to assemble.

And outside the city, the commander Yue Tuo heard the announcement of the fleeing horses, and he was also quite surprised: "What, there are two thousand Ming cavalry troops?" ”

In the past, whether it was from the Qing soldiers who fled back, or from the descriptions of Ying Erdai and others, they estimated that there were about 1,000 cavalry troops in this new Dongjiang army. This amount has already surprised them. The same is true, Yue Tuo was not surprised to hear that there were 2,000 cavalry troops in the Dongjiang army, which had doubled.

After confirming the number of Ming cavalry, Yue Tuo finally went to the gate of the camp to watch in person, and sure enough, after that's right, he couldn't help but feel a little lucky in his heart.

Fortunately, the Qing Dynasty did not give the Dongjiang Army a chance, and has always attached great importance to the Dongjiang Army, otherwise, if the new Dongjiang Army is ignored, the 2,000 cavalry army will be able to bring great trouble to Liaodong.

He was thinking about this, when suddenly a guard next to him pointed at Pyongyang and reminded him in surprise: "Lord Belle, it seems that Pyongyang's enemies are about to leave the city!" ”

When Yue Tuo heard this, he immediately fixed his eyes on Pyongyang City.

Sure enough, when he looked over, the gates of Pyongyang had already opened. A group of Diming troops were rushing out, and they were arrayed under the city. The newly arrived cavalry also immediately went over to join and gathered on the left and right sides of the formation.

"So anxious to come to fight Ben Baylor, it seems that the Ming army has seen something!" Yue Tuo looked at this and said something to himself, and then he turned around and ordered that the whole army should be ready for battle, but not for battle.

After a while, outside the city of Pyongyang, the combined forces of the Ming Dynasty and North Korea began to launch an offensive against the camp of Jianguo, and the army formation moved slowly and approached the camp of Jianguo.

At the head of the city, Jin Shangxian was watching the battle, he was a little strange, the always arrogant Jianyu did not take the initiative to attack in this situation, but kept hiding in the camp gate without moving. Is this afraid of the Ming army?

Lu Xiangsheng's previous battle gave him a lot of confidence and made him think so involuntarily.

The Governor personally led the army to the battle, and this battle will definitely be won!

He was optimistic, but Lu Xiangsheng didn't see it that way. Being in the Chinese army, seeing that Jianyu was unusual, just shrunk inside the camp gate, he was even more sure of what he thought. Faintly, he felt that it would be more difficult than expected to defeat the Jianjian army in front of him.

After approaching the Jianyu camp, Lu Xiangsheng first sent Ye Buhui to provoke at the gate of the Jianyu camp, whether it was about fighting or scolding, there was no reaction at all in the Jianyu camp.

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't do it, so he had to order a strong attack.

The five Hongyi cannons unloaded from the warship were pushed to the front of the battle, lined up, and the muzzles of the guns were facing the Jianyu camp, and the artillerymen were nervously busy.

Inside the camp gate, Yue Tuo saw that the Ming army had brought Hongyi cannons, which shocked his heart, and immediately ordered and made corresponding countermeasures.

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

It didn't take long for the Hongyi cannon to roar angrily, and five iron bullets smashed into the camp of Jianyu with a roar. The fences of the big camp, like papier-mâché, were smashed to pieces.

However, even so, in the Jianyu military camp, it was still quiet, and there was no counterattack. This shelling only destroyed the fence of the camp, and did not kill or injure any prisoners.

Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help frowning, and immediately ordered another shelling.

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

The fence of the camp was smashed even more, and the situation inside the camp can also be seen a lot.

Lu Xiangsheng was surprised to find that there were mounds of soil in the camp, and they were piled up and irregular. After the iron bullets smashed through the fence of the camp, they often hit these mounds of dirt, splashing a lot of dust at most, but the iron bullets remained in the mounds and did not cause any damage to the interior of the camp.

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

The Hongyi cannon continued to roar, and it only smashed the fence in front of it. At this time, it was already possible to see the camp of the Jianyu, just behind the mound, and there was a group of Jianyu hiding there, waiting for the battle.

The artillery lost its supposed role, and Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to order the whole army to attack and take the initiative to attack the Jianyu camp.

The long shield soldiers in the Ming army, holding pieces of long shields, formed a shield array, and slowly opened the way in front. Followed by archers and musketeers, flanked by cavalry cover, roaring rhythmically to the sound of earth-shattering war drums, approaching the camp step by step.

On both sides of the Ming army and in the rear, there were musketeers of the Korean army, with a total of more than 5,000 people, who were carefully selected by Lin Qingye from the defenders of the city, the most elite part.

With the Ming army in front, these Korean musketeers did not panic, holding the gun in their hands, they also listened to the order, followed behind the Ming army, and pressed towards the camp step by step.

The forward of the Ming army is getting closer and closer to the camp of Jianlu, and it is getting closer and closer, but Jianlu still has no reaction at all, just hiding in the camp.

"Kill......"

Finally, the Ming army rushed to the vicinity of the Jianyu camp, and then, there was a burst of roars, and the archers began to shoot arrows at the Jianyu camp at an upward angle.

Almost at the same time, the Jianyu archers, who were hiding in the main camp, also began to return fire.

In the sky, the arrows of you and me almost obscured the sunlight.

Whether it is the side of the Ming army or the side of Jianyu, there are unlucky arrows that fall to the ground.

All of a sudden, the war broke out.

Bows and arrows are unsustainable, and it doesn't take long for the arrows to thin out.

The Ming army in front began to rush into the camp of Jianyu. And the Jianyu in the Jianyu camp finally revealed their figures, and they also launched a charge against the Ming army.

As soon as the musketeers on the side of the Ming army saw this, they immediately stepped forward and began their shooting under the cover of the shield soldiers.

"Woo Woo ......"

The sound sounded intensively, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air.

In this regard, Yue Tuo was expected, knowing that there were firecrackers in the Ming army, relatively speaking, he lacked this type of troops in his hands.

However, he didn't have much to worry about. Therefore, the firecrackers all have fireropes on their bodies, and they should not get too close to each other, otherwise, the burning firerope may accidentally touch the gunpowder of the people around them, which is very dangerous.

In this way, the density of the firebolt emission is not likely to be high. As long as they rush over, the firecracker is a lamb to the slaughter.

Not to mention, this time it was not the Qing Dynasty attacking, but the Ming army attacking, and the closer to the fight was even shortened.

On the Jianyu side, either holding a shield or pushing a cart, he rushed towards the Ming army, which could reduce a lot of damage.

got closer, shouted, jumped out of the cover of the car, and joined the Ming army.

As long as it is a short hand, the Qing army is invincible in the world!

In this regard, Yue Tuo is very confident. At this time, he was even thinking in his heart, if it wasn't good, he didn't need the emperor to make such a painstaking arrangement, he would be able to defeat the Ming army in this battle!

Sometimes, however, the war is unexpected. This time, it's no exception.

I saw that in the Ming army array, there was a team of Ming army gunners, who stood very densely, and the guns were fighting in turns, and the dense rain of bullets was useless even if there was a shield to protect it. The Qing soldiers who rushed over all fell in front of the Ming army.

In this regard, Yue Tuo, who was quietly hiding in the dark to observe, couldn't help but be surprised. When he looked closely, he finally discovered that there was a problem with the guns of the Ming army, and they did not use fire ropes to ignite the gunpowder. Therefore, they stood in close proximity to each other, firing in a five-stage manner, firing in turns.

In this case, you must not rush hard.

Yue Tuo immediately adjusted his deployment and issued an order. He mobilized his men and horses, avoided this group of musketeers, and launched an attack on the Ming army from other places. Of course, on the side of this batch of musketeers, Ye couldn't ignore it, so he directly pushed the thickened cart and crashed directly into the Ming army's musketeers.

As the distance between the two sides got closer, the firecrackers also had to withdraw, giving up the main battlefield to cold weapons, and the hand-to-hand combat began.

Without the threat of firearms, the Jianyu in the attack was like being beaten with chicken blood, and their morale was a little higher, and they screamed and killed the Ming army.

However, the next step, something surprising happened to them.

When they held spears and other weapons to kill the Ming army, they were stunned to find that their spears were not as long as the Ming army. Before their spears reached the Ming army, the Ming army's spears stabbed at them.

In the past, the spears of the Qing Dynasty were longer than those of the Ming army, so they often had an advantage when they were in close combat. Unexpectedly, this time, it turned out to be the spear of the Ming army that was a little longer.

Caught off guard, the first batch of Jianjiao, who were in close proximity, immediately suffered a big loss.

The changes in the details gave the Ming army an advantage and made Jianyu retreat.

"Okay, the heavenly soldiers have attacked the camp of Jianyu!" At the head of Pyongyang, Kim Sang-hun couldn't help but shout with joy.

However, is it so easy to be defeated?
