Chapter 16 Miracle Achievement
At dinner time, the city of Pyongyang was completely controlled by the Ming army, and the gates of the four sides were closed to facilitate the elimination of the remnants of the Japanese army. The victory in the first battle made the Ming army breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, but Li Rusong knew that Governor Konishi was not an easy person, so in order to guard against the other party's breakthrough, he convened the generals again.
Li Rusong first praised the generals, and even more praised Shi Changting and the Shandong soldiers led by him, and bluntly said that he would truthfully report the results of the battle to the imperial court. Later, he said that the First Army of the Japanese Army was not injured, and there were still the strength and strength of the comeback, so the Ming army should take advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat Konishi Yukinaga. Most of the participants were Li Rusong's descendants, and the generals all agreed with his analysis, so everyone discussed the next tactical arrangements.
Some generals believed that the Japanese army retreated near Fengyue Tower in the north of the city to hold back the Ming Dynasty army and wait for the support of other legions; At the same time, some generals believed that the Japanese army might break through first, and then consider a counterattack. Both points of view have their own reasons, everyone is arguing, seeing that there is no conclusion for a while, Li Rusong waved his hand, and the originally noisy situation suddenly quieted down.
The generals thought that Li Rusong had made up their minds, and they all listened to it, but after he glanced around, he stopped at Shi Changting.
"General Shi, I heard that you had a lot of confrontations with the Japanese army when you were in Shandong, and you must know the habits of the Japanese people very well, I don't know what you think of Governor Konishi's next moves?"
Shi Changting didn't speak when everyone was arguing, and at this time, seeing that his boss asked him to express his opinion, he couldn't be silent anymore, "Marshal, what the generals said makes sense, but the last general personally thinks that it is more likely that the Japanese army will choose to break through." ”
"Why?"
"The last general thought that after our Ming army broke through Pyongyang City this time, it would make the Japanese army somewhat fearful, so they should not rashly attack before they have a full understanding of our army. What's more, this Captain Konishi is not only the commander of the First Army, but also the number one general in the Japanese army, and from the overall situation, breaking through should also be a better choice for him. ”
Shi Changting's words made Li Rusong fall into deep thought, and after a while, Li Rusong asked again, "If the Japanese army breaks through, where will they choose as the breakthrough point?" ”
"We used to attack the west, south, and north, and the Japanese army must know that there is an ambush in the east of the left, but they will not be encircled from the *, there is a peony peak in the north, and the terrain is dangerous, and it is not suitable for breaking through." Shi Changting seems to have thought about this issue a long time ago, so he answered the question of his boss fluently, "The west is the main direction of our siege, and there is the Datong River in the south. ”
When Li Rusong heard the end, his eyes lit up, and Shi Changting's analysis was so meticulous that people couldn't find fault with it.
"General Shi, your men and horses have just broken through the south gate, and they are more familiar with the south of the city, since this is the case, it is better for you to arrange for your men and horses to set up an ambush immediately." Li Rusong didn't want to dream a lot at night, so he immediately issued a military order, "The rest of the troops are still resting and waiting in the west and north according to the previous arrangement. ”
After receiving the order, Shi Changting immediately returned to the barracks and made every effort to arrange the ambush mission. In the early hours of the morning, the Japanese army really broke through from the southeast, intending to retreat to Seoul after crossing the Datong River, but was caught by Zhong Nan and others who were waiting here, and the Ming army covered up for a while, killing hundreds of Japanese soldiers, and drowning or capturing thousands.
Zhong Nan saw that in the formation of the Japanese deserters, there was a person who gave orders to the left and right from time to time, guessing that it should be an officer, so he pulled out an arrow, took aim with bated breath, and shot quickly. Seeing that he was about to hit the general, the other party actually felt the crisis at the last moment, and moved his body lightly in an instant, which was able to dodge the fatal blow, but Zhong Nan's arrow still did not go short, and it was deeply submerged in the position of the general's left shoulder.
Without giving the other party time to react, Zhong Nan slapped his horse when the arrow left the bow, and when the other party was close, he used his spear as a stick and made a powerful heavy split. The general hurriedly raised his right hand to block it, and when the weapon touched, he felt numb, and he thought in his heart: What a great power! Before he had time to breathe, Zhong Nan raised his gun and chopped it down again, and the Japanese general could only passively raise his knife to resist again, but this time there was no strength, and Zhong Nan led the people to chop off the horse, and several Ming infantry on the side saw this and stepped forward with their knives, captured the Japanese general, and then tied it with a rope and pushed it back to the Ming army camp.
Zhong Nan didn't care about the results of this battle, he rode a horse and waved a gun to continue to chase and kill the Japanese army, and the defeat was like a mountain to say that the current situation is the current situation, often a few Ming soldiers can chase after dozens or hundreds of Japanese army teams and flee in embarrassment. It wasn't until dawn that the pursuit of the Ming army came to an end, and at this time, the Datong River was almost full of killed or captured Japanese soldiers, and countless Japanese corpses were floating on the river.
The continuous high-intensity fighting exhausted Zhong Nan's physical strength, and seeing that there was no longer a Japanese army to resist, he turned over and planned to go back after turning over his horse. On the way back to the city, from time to time you can see the Ming army holding the prisoners of the Japanese army, Zhong Nan didn't mention how happy he was, as soon as he entered Lumen, there were several Ming soldiers running towards him cheering, and the other party hurriedly shouted loudly before he arrived: "Quick, General Shi let you pass!" ”
Zhong Nan was confused by these words, but although he couldn't call the other party's name, he knew that they were all soldiers belonging to Shandong, and in line with the principle of getting along with his comrades, he got off his horse and followed the other party all the way.
"Where are we going?"
"The Chinese army battalion!" One of the creeps replied.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Nan asked as he walked, "What is General Shi looking for me?" ”
"A good thing, a great thing!" The soldier who had spoken before was very excited, but the other soldier stopped the soldier from continuing to speak, and only said that the details would be known when the camp tent arrived.
The camp of Shandong soldiers in the south of the city is more than ten minutes away from the camp of the Chinese army, and when Zhong Nan arrived, he found that the camp tent was full of generals from Yishui, and his own general Shi Changting was also among them.
The general sitting at the top has not yet taken off his armor, wearing a red cloak outside, looking a little North Korean, and his age is forty years old, Zhong Nan guesses that this person should be Li Rusong, the commander of the Ming army, because he knows that Li Chengliang's ancestors are from North Korea, and their descendants will be a little bit of a North Korean shadow. Li Rusong stared at Zhong Nan with both eyes, and only spoke after half a ring: "You shot and injured the chief general of the Japanese army, Konishi Yukicho?" ”
"Who?" Zhong Nan didn't react for a while, and when he saw the Japanese general tied up in the corner, he realized who he had caught, but he still couldn't believe it, and pointed to the Japanese general and asked in surprise, "Is he President Konishi?" ”
"Since you don't recognize Yukicho Konishi, why did you specifically pick him to shoot?" Another general next to him asked.
Zhong Nan knew that his good luck was bursting this time, and his unintentional move actually caught a super general of the Japanese army, he had no intention of concealing the incident, and answered truthfully, "At that time, I saw the fleeing Japanese army, he was giving orders, and I thought that the other party must be an official, so I gave him an arrow, who knew that he was destined to dodge, and then had to fight for a while and kill him off the horse, who knew that he was still a big official!" ”
Li Rusong laughed after hearing it, stood up and stroked his beard and said loudly: "In the first battle, a major general of the Japanese army was captured alive, congratulations!" ”
The other generals present were also full of excitement, and they congratulated Li Rusong and Shi Changting one after another, and the Chinese army camp was not lively for a while. After a while, seeing that everyone was almost done, Li Rusong spread out his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then asked people to escort Governor Konishi down, and then sat back on the chair, he first looked at Zhong Nan, and then said to Shi Changting: "Your own soldier is very smart, and if you cultivate it well, you will become a great weapon, and this Shuai thinks that General Shi might as well give him one or two hundred soldiers, and maybe there will be some big surprise for us next time!" ”
Shi Changting replied: "The marshals have spoken, and the general dares not to do it, and I will give him a sentry when I turn around, so that he can adapt first." ”
Li Rusong turned his head and said to Zhong Nanle again: "I will remember the credit for you this time, if you can make great contributions next time, this commander will definitely ask the emperor for credit in person." ”
It is estimated that the bigwigs still have military information to discuss, and Zhong Nan thanked him and left with interest.
After returning to the camp, Zhong Nan was really sleepy, a day and a night of fierce battles, and he didn't have a good rest halfway, even eating, drinking, and Lazar were carried out for a limited time, and his iron body couldn't stand it, so he found a sheltered position at random and fell asleep.
This sleep is dim, the bizarre scenes in the sleep make people feel incredible, a bunch of oversized insects, snakes, birds and birds are fighting indiscriminately, the kind of toad that bites itself also seems to appear in it, the whole scene is a bit like the Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters I watched in my original time and space.
When he woke up, it was already afternoon, and Zhong Nan walked out of the tent to find that many soldiers in the same battalion had changed into civilian clothes, and it seemed that they were going to leave the camp. He casually grabbed a soldier and asked, only to learn that the army to aid Korea was going to rest in Pyongyang for ten days, so the general gave everyone two days off.
