Chapter 31: The Fierce Battle of Pyongyang

"Commander, in Otomo's opinion, you better go first. " After thinking about it for a long time, Otomo stood up and said solemnly. Although Konishi Yukicho must not be happy to hear this, after all, this is the greatest insult to a samurai. But he must say it, otherwise if he is trapped in the city of Pyongyang, this battle will not have to be fought again. That kind of loss is immeasurable, and the initial investment is also wasted.

Yukicho Konishi didn't get as angry as Otomo thought he would, but fell silent for a while. Otomo can sense that the situation has reached the worst, how can Yukicho Konishi, who has led the army for many years, not see it, otherwise he will not win the trust of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Although his role is extremely important to the war, the nearly 20,000 horses in Pyongyang City is not a trivial matter, how can he leave them alone and escape? How should I explain it to Toyotomi-sama?

Seeing the hesitation of Governor Konishi, Otomo hit the railroad while it was hot: "Your Excellency, the turmoil in the country has just ended, and Lord Toyotomi urgently needs this battle to obtain a large piece of land to envelop people from all sides, we really can't afford to lose." Although it is a pity to abandon the 20,000 horses in Pyongyang City in this way, it is not a big loss because of a small one. As long as you're still around, we won't lose, and one day the situation will be reversed. ”

Governor Konishi's face was full of helplessness, and after being silent for a long time, he nodded weakly and said, "Okay, according to your words, the specific matters are all arranged by you." ”

Without waiting for Otomo to answer, he heard the words of Konishi Yukicho and said, "However, you must come up with the best way, and you can highlight as many people as you want!" ”

"Your Excellency, you can rest assured, Otomo will do his best!" Otomo solemnly assured him, but it was more of a coping word, and he didn't know if he could break through or not.

Without further ado, after Otomo's careful arrangement of a bucket for a day, Konishi Yukicho, who took more than a dozen high-level martial arts guards, sneaked out of Pyongyang City at night after dressing up in disguise.

The journey was naturally safe, thanks to the careful arrangement of Otomo Bucket. Just before Konishi Yukichang left the city, the two teams took the lead to attract the Ming army on both sides of the escape route arranged by Otomo and a bucket for Konishi Yukicho.

The news of Governor Konishi's departure from Pyongyang City was only known to a few major generals around him, and it was important to know that this incident could be said to be fatal to the morale of the military.

After Governor Konishi withdrew, Otomo began to arrange for 20,000 horses to break through, which was still the same as his previous plan, that is, to highlight a few count.

If you want to break through, the first thing to do is to boost the morale that is currently low, otherwise everything will be impossible.

Since the siege of the city by the Ming army, the hearts of the soldiers in the city have been flustered, especially seeing the attitude of Governor Konishi resolutely not going out of the city to fight, the fool also realized how powerful the enemy he was facing, and it was strange that he was not panicking!

Boost morale, this is not a difficult task for a bucket of Otomo, as long as two things are enough to boost morale, these two magic weapons are women, blood!

With his command, the already ravaged city of Pyongyang turned into a living hell in the blink of an eye, filled with screams of terror and wild beast-like laughter. In less than two days, the city of Pyongyang was littered with corpses and rivers of blood. And the purpose of Otomo's bucket has been fully achieved, killing the red-eyed soldiers, desperately need more blood and killing to release their power, this mentality, greatly exceeded his expectations, and made his low mood become restless. Morale is available, why is it difficult to break through?

The soldiers were approaching the city, and it was naturally impossible for Zhang Chi to hear these unusual voices in the city, and he also guessed what might happen in the city in his heart. The Mongolian Tatars have a habit of slaughtering cities, and they have been in the army for more than ten years, and they have witnessed the tragic situation after the slaughter of cities twice.

People's hearts are flesh and blood, and Zhang Chi, who is accustomed to killing, is no exception, and his generals and even soldiers are all like this. They were indignant at the situation in the city, and repeatedly asked Zhang Chi to order a siege to relieve the people of Pyongyang.

But Zhang Chi kept gritting his teeth and not letting go, and he was stunned that he didn't ruin the previously arranged plan because of the good thoughts in his heart. After all, his soldiers are also raised by their mothers, and they are really reluctant to let them take their lives in this foreign country.

Moreover, it is by no means easy to take Pyongyang City, not to mention the casualties of the siege soldiers for the time being, even if it is not three days after the final defeat. At that time, it was a big problem that there would be a few people alive in the city.

The military order was like a mountain, although the soldiers couldn't figure it out in their hearts, but they still endured it. It's just that as the noise in the city becomes smaller and smaller, the anger in my heart is accumulating more and more. In this situation, anger naturally turns into morale, which is a strong fight to the death against the Japanese invaders.

This point Otomo didn't expect at all, if he knew that the morale of the Ming army was even better, he wouldn't have done this kind of lack of virtue by digging his own grave!

At this time, Otomo was looking at the soldiers in front of him with mania in his eyes and nodding his head with satisfaction, and the next thing he had to do was the second thing, pre-war mobilization!

"Samurai, the bravest people of our Yamato nation!" In this situation, Otomo is also a little irrational, and when he speaks, he lacks the Sven of the past, and almost every word is roared out with all his strength.

"The Ming army outside the city was arrogant and tried in vain to block our progress. Just today, our Shenwu Xiaoxi Legion Commander is going to lead us out of the city and completely kill the Ming army, leaving no one behind! "Otomo's eyes are red, and the life-and-death breakout battle is about to begin!

"None of them are left! The agitation of a bucket of "no ......" Otomo was like a stimulant injected into the body of a beast full of rage, pushing the morale of the soldiers in the audience to another peak.

In this situation, I can't help but let Otomo be full of pride, so let the immortal deeds of the Yamato nation start from their own hands!

"Get out of the city, kill the enemy, and leave no one behind!"

……

Otomo is boosting morale, and Zhang Chi outside the city is not idle. Since the noise in the city had subsided, he had guessed that the Japanese were about to make a move, and it was very likely that they would go out of the city to fight him in order to break out.

Therefore, early in the morning, Zhang Chi quietly arranged for most of the men and horses to retreat for ten miles and hide, leaving only a few patrols and camps all over the ground to stay under the city to confuse the Japanese in the city.

Early this morning, I heard the earth-shattering sound in the city again, although I couldn't understand what it meant, but I could guess that it was the mobilization of the Japanese before the start.

With Zhang Chi's order, the soldiers who were holding back the fire in their hearts turned on their horses and began to line up, and the sabers and spears in their hands were sharpened with cold light, just waiting to kill the Japanese who came out of the city without leaving a piece of armor to relieve the anger in their hearts.

"My lord, the Japanese are out of the city!" A few fast horses arrived first, and the news of the knight's report immediately made Zhang Chi sneer, and the opportunity to relieve the hatred in his heart finally came!

"Pass my general's order, and the soldiers of the department will kill the enemy with me, but if the enemy is cowardly and retreats, the military law will be engaged!" Zhang Chi roared angrily, raised the big knife in his hand and shouted: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!" The sound of shouting and killing was slowly drowned in the sound of horses' hooves that were getting more and more urgent, and the whole formation became faster and faster, like a torrent rushing towards the Japanese who came out of the city.

The distance of more than ten miles was instantaneous for the fast-running war horse, and it didn't take long for the two sides to collide together.

The horse formation is terrifying, but for the red-eyed widows who have been killed in the past two days, everything is fearless, and one by one they rushed forward to die as if they were not dying, and were directly knocked out by the fast-running war horses.

The shouts of killing continued, but in the face of the 20,000 elite cavalry of Xuanfu and Datong, the morale raised by the slaughter of the city by Otomo was of no use at all, and the most was to move towards the end of the entire army more quickly.

In such a big battle, Zhang Chi couldn't stay behind to supervise the formation, and a big knife in his hand flew up and down and always rushed to the forefront, and everywhere he passed, the Japanese robbers died one after another.

Seeing more and more soldiers fall under the hooves of the Ming army, and some people began to retreat slowly, the bucket of Dayou, who was in the rear supervision array, gradually calmed down in a frenzy, it seems that the situation is not as simple as he thought, this cavalry is really several times more powerful than he imagined.

I regretted it in my heart, but Otomo also understood that there was no room for recovery, and the only thing he could do was to go all the way to the cigarette. It's still the same sentence, as many people as you can stand!

"Samurai, Your Excellency the Legion Commander orders you to fight for the honor of the samurai!" Seeing that morale began to slip, Otomo immediately began to organize the manpower to agitate again. As long as you grit your teeth and hold on for a while, when the Ming army's formation is scattered, someone will definitely break through.

The demagogic words once again boosted the morale of the Japanese Kou a little, and the soldiers who had begun to retreat also began to fight again.

As Otomo expected, after losing nearly half of the centaurs, the Ming army's horse formation, which had been killing for nearly half an hour, finally lost its speed advantage, and at the same time slowly loosened. Not only that, but there were constantly knights who were picked off their horses by their own soldiers.

The opportunity is rare, and the big friend, who is already anxious, hurriedly passed down the military order and killed it!

At this time, the pirates who had fallen into a crazy situation had already woken up, and the previous idea of killing all the enemies naturally no longer existed. Now as soon as I heard the military order of the legion commander passed down by Otomo, I started to fight one by one, as long as I broke through, I could have a way to live.

However, Zhang Chi was extremely experienced in combat, and when he took a breath to look at the battlefield situation, he knew that the Japanese were preparing to break through, otherwise it would be impossible for the knights behind them to rush forward regardless of their brains.

"Hehehe, kill yourself!" Zhang Chi sneered, a group of dwarf mules wanted to break through and escape on two legs in front of the cavalry, which was tantamount to a daydream.

The order was handed down, and the Ming army took the initiative to give way to the Japanese to break out, and the pursuit and killing in the rear could reflect the greatest advantage for the cavalry!
