Chapter 392: Li Chengliang starts fighting

When the battle report from Pyongyang City was sent up, Li Chengliang Zheng also arrived at the city of Xingqing City. North Korea's Hamgyong Province is divided into two provinces, North and South, and Heunggyeongfu is the most important city in South Hamgyong Province, so Lee Sung-liang naturally set his sights here.

Sitting on the horse, Li Chengliang looked at Xingqing City in front of him, with no expression on his face.

In Li Chengliang's view, this small broken city basically does not have much value to capture.

At Li Chengliang's side, a middle-aged man in civilian clothes smiled and said, "General Lee, the Japanese who captured Hamgyong Province in North Korea are the Second Japanese Army led by Kato Kiyomasa. ”

"The total number of people is about 13,000, and now there are 6,000 people in Xingqing City."

"After entering Hamgyeong-do, Kato Kiyomasa's Second Army took the lead in defeating the resistance of the Northern Provincial military envoy Han Kecheng, and then captured the Joseon princes Linhae-kun and Shunhwa-kun at Hoeryeong."

"After capturing the two princes, Kato Kiyomasa handed over the strategic task of the Xianjing Road to Naoshige Nabeshima, and led 5,000 Japanese soldiers to the north, heading towards the Ming Dynasty, and had arrived at the Tumen River two days ago."

Li Chengliang listened to the report of the Dongchang people, and didn't feel anything at first, but when he heard that Kato Kiyomasa actually arrived at the Tumen River, this is to invade the Ming Dynasty, which is completely unbearable!

At this time, Li Chengliang's face was dark, grandma, if this guy named Kato Kiyomasa made a fuss in Daming, or even went to Shenyang, let alone the credit, it is estimated that he will be punished.

"Zu Dashou!" Li Chengliang did not hesitate at all, and shouted loudly.

Behind Li Chengliang, a thick Ming general came up on a horse, and this person was Zu Dashou, the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty. Coming to Li Chengliang's side, Zu Dashou hugged his fists and said: "General! ”

"Zu Dashou, the Japanese Kou divided a group of men and horses, led by their army commander Kato Kiyomasa, crossed the Tumen River and went to our Daming."

"You take the men and horses of the Jurchen Yehe Fourth Division, and at the same time I am dividing a part of the men and horses for you, Ben will make it clear, annihilate them, and capture that Kato Kiyomasa for me."

"If they disturb the Holy Driver, we'll both have to move."

When Zu Dashou heard this, he was immediately shocked, this widow is really dead!

"The last general commands!" Zu Dashou hurriedly agreed, and then went to order troops, and it didn't take long for the Ming army to set off. Compared with the Ming army, Ye He's four divisions were more anxious.

Bu Zhai can't wait to strangle these widows, can't you fight well? What are you doing running to my hometown?

Compared with Li Chengliang's worry that the Japanese invaders would startle the holy driver, Bu Zhai was more worried that these Japanese would get into the four parts of Ye He, if it was really like that, it would be really bad, and his old nest would be raided.

In fact, with the ability of the Japanese Invaders, between the mountains of Liaodong, it is no fun to fight Shenyang at all.

If they land on the Yalu River and go to the Liaodong Plain, it may be possible to run to the Tumen River, as long as they get in, it will not be so easy for them to get out.

But I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what happens, no one dares to delay this matter, and they are all angry and ready to go over and destroy Kato Kiyomasa.

"Come on, bring artillery up, the army will surround the three and lack one, and enter the palace Xingqing Mansion!" Li Chengliang gave the order directly, and then Li Chengliang said to Nurhachi: "Take your cavalry to the east gate." ”

"Once the pirates abandon the city and flee, rush up and slash them, don't let them escape!"

In Xingqing City, there are only more than 6,000 Japanese robbers, and the face of the guard Nabeshima Naoshige is black.

The Ming army came too fast, the key is why did they come here? Shouldn't you go to Pyongyang? To fight Xingqing Mansion, do you need to send so many people? Nakashima knew that the best thing to do now was to withdraw.

But Naoshige Nabeshima didn't dare to go, because once he left, what would Kato Kiyomasa do?

As the commander of the corps, Kato Kiyomasa will be trapped and die in North Hamgyong Province, facing the dilemma of not being able to advance or retreat, so Naoshige Nabeshima can only defend here, at least until Kato Kiyomasa withdraws.

The Ming army moved quickly, and although the equipment of the Liaodong Army was not as good as that of the Jingying Dongda Battalion, there were a lot of artillery.

In addition to the new-style artillery, there are also a lot of old-style artillery, such as the Franc machine gun, the tiger squat cannon, the exterminator cannon and so on, and the new artillery, Li Chengliang's artillery has reached an astonishing more than 1,500 pieces.

Of course, this time Li Chengliang didn't bring out all of them, but he also brought out more than 800 doors.

This time, Li Chengliang was determined to make a great contribution, and he couldn't make a mistake, Li Chengliang also did his best, and the cannons were lined up in three directions, and even equipped Nurhachi with dozens of cannons.

As the Ming army slowly unfolded, Nabeshima's heart fell to the bottom.

Although I am equipped with a lot of iron cannons, that is, arquebuses, there are not many cannons! Look at the thing pushed up by the Ming army, that thing can be known just by looking at the head, and I don't know how powerful it is.

Li Chengliang didn't bother to care what Naoshima Naoshige thought, what was the use of more than 6,000 Japanese robbers guarding such a small city as Xingqing? Li Chengliang didn't pay attention to it at all.

Soon the artillery set up their positions, and under the order of Li Chengliang, the artillery burned the city.

Compared with Pyongyang City, Xingqing City is even more unbearable, after a round of shelling, the wall of Xingqing City collapsed by more than half, and then the Ming army swarmed away and rushed directly into Xingqing Mansion.

More than 30,000 people poured in to fight 6,000 Japanese pirates, and it was still a comprehensive crushing in terms of equipment and soldier quality, and there was no suspense in this battle at all, and it went straight down.

Nabeshima Naoshige rushed out of the East Gate with the remnants of more than 2,000 people, and then was trampled into meat sauce by Nurhachi with the cavalry, Nabeshima Naoshige died in the chaos, and he didn't know who shot him to death.

Li Chengliang glanced at the order of the troops beside him: "Passing the good news back to Beijing, our army arrived at the city of Xingqing, South Hamgyong Province, North Korea at dawn, and immediately launched the siege. ”

"With one drum, all the Japanese in Xingqing City were annihilated, more than 5,000 beheaded, and more than 2,000 prisoners were captured."

"Another group of Japanese invaders went north to the Tumen River, and I have already sent people to pursue them, and I believe that good news will come in the near future."

Although Li Chengliang looked down on Buzhai and them, judging from the combat effectiveness shown by the Japanese Kou, with the 5,000 cavalry led by Zu Dashou and the more than 4,000 people in Buzhai, it would not be too difficult to fight a Kato Kiyomasa.

If it can't be beaten, Zu Dashou's head won't need it.

Shenyang City, Wanhe Palace.

Zhu Yijun was playing chess with the king of Joseon, Li Hao, and after contact in the past few days, Zhu Yijun found out that this Li Hao was really a talented emperor. Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are all proficient, although they have converged a lot, but they are really much better than themselves.

"Aiqing, you let me go again, this is not good!" Zhu Yijun said to Li Hao with a smile.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, and then Zhang Whale ran in and said loudly: "Your Majesty, great victory, great victory in North Korea!" ”
