Chapter 136: Pyongyang Offensive and Defensive Battle (7)

Arrows and stones rained down from the top of Pyongyang, and the besieging Ming troops and warriors who had already climbed the ladder had no choice but to raise their rattan cards above their heads to block the arrows and stones of the Japanese army.

From time to time, Ming soldiers who climbed the ladder fell from the ladder.

Abbot Hunneng and his three disciples were already approaching the city.

When the Japanese soldiers in the city saw that the enemy was attacking the city, they immediately raised their spears and stabbed them.

The disciple of Jinguang Temple, who was climbing on top, was stabbed in the left shoulder with a shot from an oncoming Wakoku Ashigaru. Enduring the severe pain, he pulled out the enemy's spear with his right hand, and then, with one hand, he pulled the opponent's man with the spear down the city wall.

The other two gun-wielding gun-wielding Awakuni Ashigaru then sprinted over. This Jinguang Temple disciple used the rattan card in his hand to block the head-on stab of the opponent's two spears, and then, with his feet, he jumped onto the city wall.

More than a dozen Wakoku Ashigaru swarmed up and surrounded the Jinguang Temple disciple who had climbed the city wall. This Jinguang Temple disciple picked up the Qi Mei stick in his hand and knocked the three Wa Guo Ashigari closest to him to the ground. But in the face of more than a dozen oncoming spears from the opponent, he still could not avoid the assassination of two of the spears, which pierced deep into his chest, and he was forced to the edge of the city wall by the enemy despite the severe pain. He clenched the spear that pierced his chest with both hands, and used the last of his strength to break free from the enemy's siege, but the severe pain finally prevented him from doing so.

The two Wa Guozu laughed lightly, exerted their strength together, and used the spears in their hands to pick this Jinguang Temple disciple under the city.

The other two disciples of Jinguang Temple also climbed the city wall one after another, and they also tried their best to kill several enemies, but they were stabbed by the other party and fell to the bottom of the city.

Seeing that his three disciples had been killed one after another, the abbot was so angry that he roared and prepared to rush to the city wall.

"Abbot, don't rush into the city. Just hold off the enemies in the city! Shi Lang below saw that it was difficult to force himself into the city for a while, so he shouted loudly to the abbot who was already at the top of the ladder.

"Okay, look at me!" The abbot threw away the rattan card in his hand, then picked up the shovel staff in his hand and entangled with the Japanese soldiers in the city.

Shi Lang saw that the enemy in the city had been entangled by the abbot of Hunneng, so he immediately took out the flying tiger claw from his waist and threw it at the head of the city, and the flying claw clasped the city wall. Shi Lang held the rope of the Flying Tiger's Claw in one hand, and his feet exerted force on the spot, swinging towards the city wall in the air.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the three Wakoku Ashigaru immediately rushed over and raised their knives to slash at the flying tiger claws that were buckled on the city wall.

Shi Lang raised his left hand slightly, and three sleeve arrows roared out, shooting at the three Wa Guo Ashigaru.

The three ashigaru were instantly shot by a hidden arrow and fell to the top of the castle wall in agony.

Shi Lang used the power of the Flying Tiger Claw Rope in the air, and after a few lifts, his hands were already coiled around the edge of the highest part of the city wall. He just wanted to take advantage of the situation to climb the city wall, but he saw several Wa Guo Ashigaru rushing over from another direction, and the spears in their hands had pierced Shi Lang's eyes in the blink of an eye.

Shi Lang didn't dare to be careless, and clasped the city wall with his hands alternately, dodging the other party's guns. He dodged and looked for an opportunity to climb the walls. Helplessly, the enemy's dense gunfire did not give him any chance at all.

In the process of dodging, Shi Lang quickly looked at the distance between Shi Tianji and himself, and then shouted: "Old Shi, let's give him a flying immortal in the air!" ”

"Come on, look at it, brother!" Shi Tianji on the cloud ladder comprehended, and saw him raise the rattan plaque in his hand above his head with both hands.

Shi Lang kicked the city wall with both feet, and then, with his hands and feet at the same time, his body slammed off the city wall and fell towards Shi Tianji at the same time as several of the enemy's spears stabbed at him.

At the moment when Shi Lang's feet touched the rattan card, Shi Tianji slightly bent his legs to help Shi Lang stand firmly on the rattan card. Then, with both feet at the same time, his body suddenly rose up, and he shouted, "Go up, brother!" ”

With the help of Shi Tianji's divine power, Shi Lang spread his wings and soared from the rattan plaque, and in the blink of an eye, his body had crossed the height of the city wall.

Shi Lang scanned the city wall in the air and saw that dozens of Japanese soldiers were already waiting for him to fall with their guns.

Shi Lang raised his hands in the air, and six sleeve arrows flew out. Immediately after, he drew an embroidered spring knife from his back and slashed at the Japanese soldiers on the city wall.

Six whizzing Hidden Arrows knocked down several Wakokuzu. There was a hint of confusion among the Japanese ashigaru people on the city walls.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shi Lang jumped from the sky and landed on the wall, slashing an enemy who stabbed him with a spear to the ground.

Just as Shi Lang was about to swing his sword to kill the enemy formation, a spear flew in, Shi Lang couldn't dodge, and was stabbed in the chest by the spear. The powerful impact of the spear stabbed Shi Lang to the ground and nearly fell.

"Not good! I'm dying! Shi Lang secretly screamed. He subconsciously touched his chest, and saw that the spear did not pierce his chest, but only pierced the clothes on his chest.

"Thanks to Ru Liu's Heart Protector Soft Armor!" Shi Lang understood and secretly rejoiced.

At this time, a group of Japanese soldiers shouted and killed Shi Lang.

Shi Lang pulled out the spear that was stuck diagonally in his chest and threw it at the enemy, stabbing one of them to the ground.

With an enemy crowd, Shi Lang shook his spirits, brandished the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and fought with more than a dozen Wa Guoashigaru who surrounded him.

The Japanese ashigaru surrounded Shi Lang.

Shi Lang did not love to fight, but broke through the siege, and while effectively killing and wounding the enemy, he rushed in the direction of the cloud ladder where Abbot Huneng and Shi Tianji were located. Dumbo eBook

Seeing that four or five enemies were fighting with the abbot of Huneng on the ladder, Shi Lang immediately managed to get rid of the enemy soldiers behind him, rushed forward, and fought hard to cut down the three enemy soldiers who were dealing with the abbot of Hueneng.

Under Shi Lang's strategy, Abbot Huneng and Shi Tianji successively climbed the city wall. The three of them immediately formed an effective battle body and fought together with the Japanese soldiers on the city wall.

With the containment of Shi Lang and the others, the Daming daredevils were able to attack the city in a steady stream.

The Japanese soldiers who defended the city were a little careless.

With the increasing number of Ming daredevils on the city wall, the Japanese ashigaru who were not too strong in combat began to retreat, and they retreated to the stairs connecting the city on the city wall while fighting.

At this time, the part of the Korean traitor troops who were forced to participate in the defense of the city due to the surrender of the Japanese army had long since disappeared.

A large number of Ming soldiers climbed to the top of the city one after another.

A Ming bannerman who climbed the city carried the Ming army battle flag on his shoulder, and quickly climbed the seven-star gate corner tower, he first kicked the five-color flag of the Japanese army planted in the corner tower to the ground, and then, the Ming army flag on his shoulder was inserted on the seven-star gate corner tower.

Encouraged by the call of the hunting banner, the morale of the Ming soldiers in other directions of Pyongyang City was greatly boosted. For a time, on the city wall in other directions, there were also Ming soldiers attacking.

Shi Lang waved the embroidered spring knife and led the daredevils behind him to drive the remnants of the enemy off the city wall.

After entering the city, Shi Lang immediately ordered someone to open the Seven Star Gate.

"Kill!" When Li Rusong saw that the city gate had been broken, he immediately roared, waved his sword on his horse, and led his troops to enter the Seven Star Gate.

Ye Ruliu waved the deadly rose thorn in his hand, rushed into the city with the large army, and joined Shi Lang to kill the defenders in the city.

With the fall of Qixingmen, other city gates such as Xiaoximen, Daximen, and Hanwei Gate were also broken by the Ming army.

The Ming army poured into the city of Pyongyang from all directions. For a time, the main streets of Pyongyang were successively controlled by the besieging Ming army.

However, the Japanese army defending the city was not content to be defeated, and they resisted stubbornly with the help of earthen forts built in advance on various streets.

These earthen forts are built with round holes facing in all directions. The Japanese army hid in the earthen fort and fired iron cannons, lead pellets and arrows at the Ming army on the street, causing a large number of casualties among the Ming army.

In desperation, Li Rusong ordered the siege armies from all walks of life to suspend the attack.

Li Rusong ordered the follow-up troops to transfer more than a dozen Huzun cannons from outside the city to prepare to bombard the Japanese army's earthen fort.

The Ming army originally had a more powerful general cannon. However, the general cannon was too cumbersome and inconvenient to move; Second, this kind of giant cannon has great killing power, and most of the earthen forts of the Japanese army are built close to the residents, and it is easy to accidentally injure the people by using them to bombard the enemy forts.

Compared to the bulky general cannon, the Tiger Cannon is much lighter, and a few soldiers can easily drag it to where it is needed. What's more, the explosive power of the Huzun cannon's shells is smaller than that of the general's cannon, which can avoid injuring innocent people as much as possible.

Although the explosive power of the Huzun cannon was small, it was more than enough to deal with the earthen fort of the Japanese army.

As the rumbling of the Huzun cannon sounded, the earthen forts of the Japanese army collapsed in an instant. The war in the city went smoothly.

By noon, most of the city of Pyongyang was under complete control of the Ming army.

The remnants of Konishi Yukinaga's troops retreated to the area around Zhengyang Fort and put up a stubborn resistance.

Li Rusong ordered the troops to rest and recuperate temporarily.

Taking advantage of the period of rest and recuperation of the troops, after obtaining Luo Shiyin's consent, accompanied and protected by Shi Lang, Shi Tianji, and Ye Ruliu, Xie Yuan came to the area of Fengyuelou, which had been controlled by the Ming army.

At this time, under the devastation of the war, Fengyue Tower was already ruined and desolate, and it completely lost the luxury and prosperity of Pyongyang as a place for officials and nobles to seek pleasure in the past.

Pedaling the remaining stairs of Fengyue Building to the second floor, Xie Yuan was apprehensive, bypassing the rocks all over the floor in the corridor and coming to the music art workshop where Liu Yingying lived in the past.

At this time, only four broken walls were left in the music workshop, the roof of the building had long since collapsed, and the ground was full of dust and rubble. Several musical instruments scattered among the rocks were also mutilated.

Xie Yuan was in a heavy mood, and he leaned down to pick up a broken string from the ground, which he recognized at a glance as the string on the Gayageum that Liu Yingying had used to play music for him for the first time. He couldn't wait to bend down and pick up the rocks on the ground with his hands. Sure enough, the Gayageum, which had been intact in the past, had been smashed into tatters by rocks.

Xie Yuan stood up and looked around helplessly, two lines of tears burst out of his eyes.

"Ying-Ying, where are you-" Looking at the desolation in front of him, Xie Yuan let out a hopeless cry in his heart.

"Brother, don't be discouraged. Maybe Miss Yingying is with his father. Seeing Xie Yuan's discouraged appearance, Ye Ruliu came over and patted him on the shoulder fat and comforted.
