The Ming Dynasty sent troops to attack North Korea, which spread like a plague through North Korea, creating great panic.

"What to do, what to do! Daming really sent troops to attack my North Korea! King Ri Jun of Joseon walked back and forth, his tone full of panic and anger.

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is unkind, contrary to the will of heaven, and unpopular, as long as our army holds the Yalu River and does not let the Ming army cross the river, we can successfully resist the Ming army!" A North Korean official suggested.

"Yes, yes, hold the Yalu River, and never let the Ming army cross the river!" The king of Joseon said firmly.

Immediately, the king of Joseon ordered all the Korean naval warships to gather in the direction of the mouth of the Yalu River, and a large number of naval ships sailed into the lanes of the Yalu River to block the Yalu River.

Not only on the river, but the king of Joseon also mobilized 200,000 Korean troops to garrison various cities and fortresses along the river.

The DPRK has a population of more than 5 million, and in fact, since the Ming Dynasty announced the severance of vassal relations with the DPRK more than two years ago, the DPRK has stepped up the expansion of its army, expanding its original army from 150,000 to the current limit of 400,000.

On the way from Shenyang City to Dandong, although the Third Army and the Eighteenth Army were equipped with war horses because they were regular armies, they could maneuver quickly, but the garrison of 60,000 accompanying them did not have war horses and could only walk, and in order to accommodate the garrison, the marching speed of the Third Army and the Eighteenth Army was not fast.

However, Huang Degong was not in a hurry, because before the navy took control of the Yalu River, they would not be able to cross the river even if they rushed to Dandong.

It is still more than 100 miles away from the mouth of the Yalu River.

The East China Sea Fleet, with dozens of large sea-going warships and hundreds of ships of various sizes, ready to transport troops, followed closely behind, rushing towards the mouth of the Yalu River.

"Hehe, I don't know if the North Korean naval army will come to stop my East China Sea Fleet!" Admiral Shen Jingchao of the East China Sea Fleet sneered.

With the strength of the East China Sea Fleet, Shen Jingchao naturally does not take the North Korean naval army in his eyes, if the Korean naval army dares to block it on the sea surface of the Yalu River estuary, he has full confidence to completely annihilate the Korean naval army!

At the Yalu River estuary, more than 200 North Korean ships of different sizes also gathered here, including 33 tortoiseshell boats that the Koreans are proud of!

The commander of the Korean naval army was a North Korean general named Li Yumin, who is said to be the direct grandson of Yi Sunsin, the god of war in the hearts of the North Koreans.

To say that Li Yumin is only less than thirty years old, why can the Korean monarchs and ministers have such expectations for him. That's because Li Yumin has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and there is no shortage of literary talent and bravery, since he was appreciated by the old Korean king at the age of seventeen, he entered the Korean naval army, Li Yumin did not disappoint, he won the first place in all naval exercises, no one has ever been able to beat him in the exercise, and the most important thing is that he is a hero in the eyes of the Koreans, the grandson of the god of war Yi Sunsin!

The Han people say that the tiger father has no dog son, and the Koreans are undoubtedly unswerving, they think that since Li Yumin usually performs so well, and he is the grandson of Yi Sunsin, he must be the most suitable person to lead the navy in North Korea, so this Li Yumin won the unanimous approval of the DPRK at a young age, and became the governor of the Korean navy, holding heavy power.

The North Koreans seem to have forgotten that no matter how well Li Yumin usually speaks, no matter how powerful the drill is, it is just a drill, Li Yumin is still a beginner who has never really been on the battlefield, just like Zhao Kuo of the Central Plains Zhao State during the Warring States Period.

It can be said that Li Yumin is the North Korean version of Zhao Kuo!

If Zhao Kuo was carrying the expectations of Zhao Guo on the spot, at this moment, Li Yumin is carrying the expectations of the North Korean country.

"The Great Korean Navy is invincible under the leadership of my Li Yumin!" Li Yumin stood on the bow of a tortoiseshell ship with great spirit.

At that time, his grandfather Yi Sun-sin was to take the North Korean sailors to defeat the Japanese sailors with less victories, and the famous North Korea, was worshiped as a hero and god of war by the North Koreans, the tortoiseshell ship under his feet was designed by his grandfather, although he Li Yumin could not design a more powerful ship than the tortoiseshell ship, but he was facing the Ming Navy, if he could defeat the Ming Navy that was more powerful than the Japanese Invaders today, then he Li Yumin even if he could not compare with his grandfather Yi Sunsin's status in the eyes of the Korean people, he would at least be the same as his grandfather Yi SunsinHe became a hero and god of war in the eyes of the Korean people, and was always admired by the Korean people.

"Daming will be defeated!" Thinking that he could become a hero and god of war praised by the people of Korea in the future, Li Yumin couldn't hide a smile in his eyes, and he was looking forward to that day too much.

In order to confront the Ming Dynasty, North Korea did not allow the Ming army to cross the Yalu River smoothly, and exhausted all the naval forces of North Korea.

A total of 60 tortoiseshell ships, 260 other ships of different sizes, and a total of more than 23,000 naval soldiers, on the surface, the strength is not weak, at least after so many years of construction in Korea, it is not known how many times stronger than when Yi Sunsin fought against the Japanese naval army.

A North Korean naval soldier climbing on a high pole is looking out at the sea with a telescope purchased at a high price from the Spaniards.

Suddenly, the eyes of the North Korean sailor widened instantly, and after putting down the telescope in his hand, he rang the big golden bell beside him.

"Ding Ding Ding"

More than one warship's early warning sentry on the high pole sounded the big golden bell, and no less than ten big golden bells wanted to think about it one after another, and the sound of the early warning sounded throughout the Korean navy.

"The enemy is coming! The enemy army is coming! ”

The soldiers of the Korean Navy on all the warships instantly became nervous, and ran on the deck one by one, urgently preparing for battle.

"Haha, the Ming army is finally here, and the governor of Ben Dadu has been waiting for a long time!" Li Yumin not only did not panic, but laughed loudly, his face flushed with laughter, as if the Ming Navy was just a dish in his eyes and would definitely be defeated by him.

When the soldiers of the North Korean Navy saw Li Yumin's appearance, they immediately admired him, and said in their hearts: He is worthy of being the governor of the capital, calm and stable, and the grandson of Yi Sunsin, the god of war! With the blessing of the god of war, the Metropolitan Governor will definitely be able to lead them to defeat the Ming navy and show the glory of their Korean naval army.

Li Yumin's high spirits seemed to inspire the soldiers of the North Korean Navy Army, and all the soldiers of the North Korean Navy who were still panicked and nervous because of the imminent appearance of the Ming Army instantly reassured.

One by one, with their heads held high, many generals of the Korean navy were even more arrogant and took the opportunity to talk there about how to pursue after defeating the Ming Navy.

"Bang!" Li Yumin drew his sword.

"All the ships, line up and meet the enemy!" Li Yumin ordered loudly, a ball of blood burned in his chest, famous in North Korea, no, from today on, even Daming will always remember his name Li Yumin, he Li Yumin is destined to become the hero and god of war of the new generation of North Korea.

Li Yumin began to command the formation of naval warships according to the various naval formations he was familiar with.

All the warships of the Korean Navy slowly moved, and according to Li Yumin's instructions, they lined up in formation and prepared to meet the Ming Navy.

On the vast sea, when the North Korean navy discovered the Ming naval fleet, the Ming navy soldiers also discovered a large number of Korean naval warships gathered in the sea at the mouth of the Yalu River.

The Daming warship sailed towards the mouth of the Yalu River at the fastest speed, and soon, without climbing onto the mast, Shen Jingchao could also see the North Korean naval army through the telescope.

At present, the distance between the two armies is about 12 miles, and it will not take more than half an hour to enter the combat distance.

Of course, this engagement distance is divided according to the range of the Ming Navy warships, and as for the distance of the North Korean warships, it is not within Shen Jingchao's planning range.
