Because of the fact that it had been prepared for a long time, the Ming army moved very quickly, and three days later, the two armies set off. The grain and grass had already arrived in Yizhou first, and as the Ming army crossed the Yalu River, the grain and grass moved further forward.

One of the two armies went straight to Pyongyang City, while the other army entered Hamgyong Province and targeted Heunggyeong.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty marched very fast, different from history, this time Shenyang had Zhu Yijun in charge, and the deployment of various materials was very timely, and the Ming army had also been trained for a long time, so it was very orderly.

The Southern Route Army soon arrived in Pyongyang and set up camp.

Along the way, the army encountered little resistance and easily reached Pyongyang. In fact, it was not that the Japanese did not want to resist, but there were too many Ming troops, and the momentum was huge, so they directly retreated in fright.

In Zhang Weixian's big tent, the main generals were in a meeting.

In fact, the content of the meeting is also very simple, that is, how to fight this battle.

With Zhang Weixian was the North Korean general Song Xiangxian, how many people did he have under him, 500 people, when he learned of this number, Zhang Weixian directly used them as guides.

Historically, the Koreans had deceived the Ming at this time.

They said that there were only more than 1,000 Japanese in Pyongyang, but the Ming Dynasty really fought with more than 1,000 people, but in fact, Konishi Yukicho's First Army was all in Pyongyang, and the number reached 16,000.

So in the first battle of Pyongyang in history, the Ming Dynasty was defeated.

But this time is different, Daming has been prepared for a long time, and naturally he will not be misled by intelligence again.

Zhang Weixian glanced at the man in cloth clothes beside him, and said, "Let me introduce to you, he is Lu Qian, the head of Dongchang, and he has brought us a lot of information. ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Qian, and Lu Qian also stood up and smiled at everyone and hugged his fists, which was regarded as a greeting.

That's all Lu Qian can do, he is from Dongchang, so naturally it is impossible to be too polite to the people in Jingying, otherwise there will be problems. It is suspicious for the eunuchs to befriend the foreign ministers, let alone the generals who lead the army outside.

Although Lu Qian is not an eunuch, he is also from Dongchang

"Now that we know each other, let's listen to what Lu Qian has to say," Zhang Weixian said and made a gesture of please.

Everyone also looked at Lu Qian, although everyone knew that the East Factory was pervasive, but it was in China, and when they arrived here, everyone was very curious about whether the East Factory could do this.

Some people still don't think so, but they don't say anything about the other party's face as Dongchang.

Lu Qian nodded, and then spoke: "Now there are a total of 16,000 Japanese in Pyongyang City, which is the first army of Japanese invaders to enter Korea, and the commander of the corps is called Konishi Yukicho. ”

"There are a total of nine legions of the Japanese invaders who invaded Korea this time, and two legions are the most capable and the first."

"One is the first legion, that is, led by Governor Konishi, and the second legion is going to Hamgyong Province, and the commander is called Kato Kiyomasa, and we also sent people over there."

When Lu Qian said this, everyone's eyes became serious.

It's not because the Japanese are serious, they don't look down on the nine legions and what the Japanese can fight at all, they are shocked by the intelligence ability of the East Factory.

The fight hasn't started here yet, and the East Factory has already figured out the information.

You must know that this is not the Ming Dynasty, but North Korea, and the other party is not the North Korean army, but the Japanese Kou, Dongchang is really Dongchang, it is really pervasive, it is really powerful

"I have here a copy of Captain Konishi and the First Legion."

Lu Qian gestured to the person standing behind him, and the person immediately began to distribute the materials, and Lu Qian said: "The Wa Kingdom has experienced a period of melee and has been fighting for decades. ”

"Therefore, the soldiers of the Japanese are all veterans of a hundred battles, and they are not afraid of death."

"This Konishi Yukicho is also a veteran of the battlefield, very capable of fighting, and in terms of weapons and equipment, the Japanese are equipped with a lot of artillery and muskets. These are what they got from the Portuguese, and they are not small. ”

"There are two gates of Datong and Changqing in the east, two gates of Lumen and two blankets in the south, two gates of ordinary and seven stars in the west, and two gates of Mitai in the north, and the towering peony peak, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"The Japanese are not afraid of death, so you'd better be prepared."

After saying this, Lu Qian didn't continue, after the intelligence was finished, how to fight the rest, this depends on Zhang Weixian. He came here just to provide intelligence support, no matter how the war was fought.

Zhang Weixian waited until everyone finished reading the information before he spoke: "I'll talk about the target first." ”

"According to the previous tactics, siege warfare, the siege of three is missing one, leaving a city gate for them to break through, but this time I am not going to do this." Zhang Weixian's tone was very light, but the matter was very serious.

"Tomorrow the siege will begin, surrounded on all sides, in a word, I will not only attack the city, but also completely annihilate the Japanese in Pyongyang." Zhang Weixian said this, and his eyes sharpened.

"I don't care what kind of elite they are, and I don't care what kind of First Legion they can fight the most."

"In a word, I want to wipe them out, Cao Wenzhao, you and He Renlong are in charge of the east gate, Deng Shaoyu, you and Li Zongcheng are in charge of the north gate, Chang Mingliang, you and Zhang Zuojiu are in charge of the south gate, Xu Jiben and you and Li Chenggong are in charge of the west gate."

"Three days, I will only give you three days, and in three days I will take Pyongyang and destroy the Japanese invaders."

All the people stood up and said loudly, "Obey the command."

The Ming army is preparing for battle, and the governor of Konishi in the city is also preparing for war, standing at the gate of the city, looking at the Ming army camp in the distance, and the face of the governor of Konishi is very serious.

"Commander, I've already arranged it," said a short, black-faced man beside Governor Konishi.

He is Kuroda Nagamasa, the first lord of the Fukuoka Domain, and he is very respected by Konishi Yukicho, and at the same time, his own strength is also very strong. Kuroda Nagamasa, who was originally full of confidence, saw the Ming army camp below, and his face was also very unsightly.

"I didn't expect Daming to come so quickly, although the news has been sent, but I'm afraid that the reinforcements won't be able to come for a while."

Governor Konishi glanced at Kuroda Nagamasa, and said with a sneer: "I just want to see the army of the Ming Dynasty, we are going to fight to the Ming Dynasty, and now it's time to try their catties." ”

"Pyongyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, what do we have to worry about, tell the samurai below, hold Pyongyang City, wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then we will annihilate the Ming army in one fell swoop."

Kuroda Nagamasa nodded: "Don't worry, the samurai have already sharpened their swords." ”

Both sides are all waiting to prepare for this battle, once the fight starts, it will definitely be shocking, and both sides are very confident in themselves.
