"Brother Shi Lang, close your eyes."

"What is this for? It's so mysterious. ”

"Shut it up."

"Okay, close your eyes."

Ye Ruliu saw Shi Lang close his eyes, gently unbuttoned the clothes on his right chest, put his hand in, and took out a silver heart protection soft armor from it.

"It's time to open your eyes."

"What is this?" Shi Lang opened his eyes and saw Ye Ruliu holding something in his hand that he had never seen, so he asked.

"This is the soft armor that my father bought from a foreign monk with salt during his lifetime. I wanted to defend myself tomorrow when I took part in the siege, but now I don't need to. You wear it, and it keeps you safe. ”

"Ru Liu, I don't think so. With my skills as a Ming brocade guard, the little widow is not so easy to hurt me. Shi Lang pushed.

"Well, they just let you bring it." Ye Ruliu deliberately put on a coquettish look.

"Oh, this isn't what you are the leader of the Salt Gang!" In the face of Ye Ruliu's rare coquettishness, Shi Lang deliberately made a bitter face and put on an unacceptable look.

"Do you want to?" Ye Ruliu was also made laugh by her strange tone, she put on a coquettish look, raised the heart protection soft armor in front of Shi Lang with both hands, and pretended to be angry and said.

"Yes, yes. How dare Xiaosheng not want it! Shi Lang pretended to be scared and took the soft armor with both hands.

"That's right. Brother Shi Lang, did I look like a little woman just now? ”

"Like, too much! However, the way you just looked gave me goosebumps. This is Ye Ruliu, who is the leader of the Salt Gang! ”

"I'm willing to be a little woman in front of my Brother Shi Lang." Ye Ruliu said, and threw herself into Shi Lang's arms again.

Shi Lang hugged Ye Ruliu tightly emotionally, then lowered his head and gently kissed Ye Ruliu's lips.

Ye Ruliu gently closed her eyes and felt Shi Lang's masculine kiss to the fullest. The moment the lips met, the two young, fiery bodies fused into one.

Under Shi Lang's passionate kiss, Ye Ruliu had completely lost herself, and she leaned on Shi Lang's powerful arms in a mess, letting Shi Lang's hot lips suck her lips.

The two young people, immersed in happiness, have completely forgotten the time at this time. If it weren't for the sound of the gong outside the camp tent, the two of them didn't know how long they would have to grind their ears and temples.

"Brother Shi Lang, when attacking the city tomorrow, you must be more careful." Ye Ruliu left Shi Lang's arms, tidied up his temples, and said softly.

"Don't worry, this is not the first time we have encountered such a scene. I will deal with it wholeheartedly, and there will be no danger. Shi Lang looked at Ye Ruliu's eyes and said.

"Be sure to wear soft armor that can effectively withstand the enemy's swords and arrows."

"Okay, I'll put it on."

"Also, when besieging a city, pay attention to the enemy's iron artillery. Today, many soldiers fell under the fire of the enemy's iron artillery. ”

"Don't worry, I have experience in dealing with this kind of firearm. This kind of primitive and backward guy of the Japanese people, compared with our advanced firearms of the Ming Dynasty, is too far behind in terms of power and shooting speed. I know how to cope. ”

"Okay, Brother Shi Lang, you should rest early, you have to go into battle tomorrow."

"Okay, you can go back and rest early." Shi Lang raised his hand and combed a strand of hair from Ye Ruliu's ear behind her ear.

"Okay, tomorrow morning, I'll see you off." After Ye Ruliu finished speaking, she glanced at Shi Lang tenderly, turned around and walked outside the tent.

After Ye Ruliu left, Shi Lang carefully put away the soft armor that protected his heart, and tomorrow, he would put it on and attack the walls of Pyongyang City.

The next day, three o'clock.

All the Ming troops who participated in the siege had a full meal, and then they lined up in front of the Ming army camp in front of the point platform.

Li Rusong was heavily dressed and stood firmly on the high platform in front of the team, only to see that he was holding his long-handled broadsword tightly in his right hand, pressing the sword hanging from his waist with his left hand, scanning his generals with a firm gaze, and said loudly: "Brothers, although we failed to take Pyongyang City in yesterday's battle, we have suffered heavy losses to the enemy after the bloody battle of all the soldiers.

"Thieves are not fierce ghosts, they are also mortal creatures. As long as we work together from top to bottom, make persistent efforts, and carry the remaining power of yesterday's siege, we will certainly be able to take Pyongyang City in one go. Brethren, do you have faith? ”

"Yes-" As soon as Li Rusong's words fell, all the soldiers in the audience immediately let out a burst of majestic shouts.

"In order to take Pyongyang City as soon as possible, we have set up a death squad, and I repeat it again, as long as you can take the Qixing Gate first, the first daredevils to climb the city wall will be rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver. The other siege troops, who were the first to attack the city wall, were also rewarded with five thousand taels of silver. Li Rusong said loudly.

"Take Pyongyang and eliminate the thieves!" A general in the audience raised the Zhangba snake spear in his hand and shouted loudly. 20

"Take Pyongyang and eliminate the pirates! Take Pyongyang and eliminate the pirates! Take Pyongyang and eliminate the pirates! All the soldiers shouted together.

After Li Rusong and the other soldiers shouted three times, he raised his hand to signal to stop, and then he shouted loudly: "Go!" ”

The first to set off were the 3,000 death squad members of Shi Lang and Shi Tianji. These 3,000 dead soldiers were selected from the battalions last night, including dozens of monks and soldiers of Jinguang Temple, including Abbot Xiuneng.

Ye Ruliu was also dressed in military uniform at this time, standing in the team. Although she did not participate in the siege of the city, once the city gate was breached, she would enter the city with the large army and fight side by side with Shi Lang.

"Brother Shi Lang, don't forget your promise." Seeing Shi Lang walking by his side neatly, Ye Ruliu couldn't help but shout softly.

"Don't worry, remember!" Shi Lang followed the sound and found Ye Ruliu standing in the team, and seeing the worried eyes of his beloved, Shi Lang squeezed his eyes meaningfully at Ye Ruliu.

Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu waved goodbye to each other almost at the same time.

Shi Lang went out this time, in addition to wearing the soft armor given to him by Ye Ruliu, he almost brought a full set of equipment for Jinyi Guards to carry out combat missions.

The Qixingmun Gate is located in the southwest of Pyongyang Castle, and because it faces a large mountain, there is only a small open area outside the gate, which is not conducive to the assembly of large troops. He only sent a few thousand Ashigaru troops and more than 1,000 Korean troops who had defected to the Japanese to guard it.

In order to confuse the enemy, 3,000 Ming army daredevils put on the uniforms of the Korean troops in advance.

The Japanese soldiers have always ignored the Korean soldiers who are not strong in combat.

In fact, when 3,000 daredevils dressed in the uniforms of the North Korean army rushed to the Qixing Gate and lined up to attack the city, the Japanese soldiers in the city saw that a group of stragglers of Korean troops had come to the city, and some of them immediately pointed to the crowd under the city, and said mocking words, with disdain on their faces.

As soon as the time came, the Ming army immediately bombarded the city.

For a time, the city of Pyongyang was full of flames and gunsmoke.

The five-color flags planted by the Japanese people on the head of the city were blown away by the artillery fire of the Ming army. In some parts of Pyongyang, the parapet was shattered by heavy artillery fire.

One by one, the Japanese soldiers hid behind the wall like frightened rats, secretly praying in their hearts that the earth-shattering bombardment would end soon.

As soon as the cannon fell, the Japanese soldiers emerged from the collapsed walls one by one, like evil spirits from hell, and raised the five-color banner again in disgrace. The drummer blows the horn and beats the snare drum. On the head of Pyongyang, where thick smoke was billowing out, there were instantly standing Japanese soldiers wielding knives and guns.

The Ming army already had a certain understanding of the operational characteristics of the Japanese army. Seeing that after the shelling, the Japanese soldiers appeared on the city wall one after another, and the commander of the Ming army immediately sent the rocketeers who had been arranged in advance and were responsible for the second round of strikes to the front of the battle.

With a sound of cannons, the rocketeers fired thousands of arrows, and the dense arrows tied to the fireballs were fired at the Japanese soldiers at the head of the city.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese soldiers were shot one after another, struggling to fall off the wall.

The rocket also ignited the wooden turret at the head of the city. For a time, all the corner towers in all four directions of Pyongyang City were on fire.

While fighting the fire, the Japanese people at the head of the city regrouped and fired bows and arrows at the Ming rocketeers below, throwing boulders.

The second round of strikes was basically completed, and the rocketeers were ordered to withdraw from the battle.

The third round of strikes arranged by the Ming army was completed by a group of soldiers carrying straw on their shoulders. I saw them quickly throw the straw on their shoulders under the base of the city wall, pile it up in piles, and then, after lighting it with torches, quickly evacuate under the city wall.

As piles of straw burned, billowing smoke drifted into the air, obscuring the view of the soldiers defending the city.

"Knock, knock, knock!" With the sound of three horns, tens of thousands of Ming troops launched a general attack from all directions of Pyongyang City.

Shi Lang, Shi Tianji and other 3,000 daredevils held rattan cards, brandished weapons, and attacked the city along dozens of ladders erected by their companions.

Although the Japanese soldiers in the city could not see the situation clearly, they knew that the enemy army was attacking below. Under the command of the commander, the Japanese soldiers fired bows and arrows and threw stones below, and once they found that a Ming soldier had attacked the city, the Japanese immediately waited with spears and spears and poked the soldiers who climbed up to the city.

Seeing that from time to time there were comrades-in-arms screaming and falling down from the air, Shi Lang dressed lightly and prepared to climb the ladder.

"Brother, come, brother, I will take the lead for you!" Shi Tianji saw Shi Lang rushing to a cloud ladder, and hurriedly ran over and walked in front of Shi Lang.

"Lao Shi, let me come first!" Shi Lang pushed Shi Tianji away.

"Two heroes, don't fight, let the old man lead for you!" Just as Shi Lang and Shi Tianji were arguing, Abbot Hunneng led several disciples to run over.

"Abbot, how can I let you take the risk? The three of us go first! Seeing that the abbot was about to climb the ladder, the three Jinguang Temple monks present couldn't help but say, grabbed in front of the abbot of Xiuneng, grabbed his feet one after another, and climbed up the ladder.

"Okay, let's three of us follow!" Hugh Neng saw that the disciples risked their lives to climb the ladder, shouted to Shi Lang and Shi Tianji, and climbed the ladder.

"Brother, follow me, brother and I will send you up then!" Shi Tianji shouted at Shi Lang and climbed the ladder.

"Lao Shi, be careful of the cold arrows above." Shi Lang saw that the dispute was not successful, so he reminded Shi Tianji, followed him, and hurried up the ladder.
