Namwon is located in the middle of Jeolla Province, south to Gwangju, north to Jeonju, and is the only way to go north to Seoul through Jeolla and Chungcheong. But at this time, Ma Gui had led a large army to Seoul, and the troops were strong, and at the same time, Yang Yuan's vanguard had arrived in Nanyuan to garrison, in order to avoid the enemy's edge, and at the same time eliminate the threat of the enemy on his belly and back, Xiuyuan decided to change the route of the army.

One route was led by himself, west to Suncheon and then north to Namwon Fortress, the other was led by Cheongjeong as the vanguard, according to the original route, first to Changnyeong, attracting the main force of the Gyeongsang Doyi Army Guo Jaeyou to move east to defend, and then transfer the troops, along the Shaancheon and Anyin all the way to the west, cross Hwangshisan Mountain into Jeolla Province, and join Xiuwon under Namwon Fortress.

I have to say that Xiuyuan's observation of the battlefield is still quite keen, and the strategic deployment is also very appropriate, the Ming army and North Korea joined forces to occupy the geographical advantage, while the Japanese army is running thousands of miles, physical exhaustion, and there is not much disparity in strength, if it really hits Seoul, the result can be imagined, Ma Gui waits for work, and the Western Route Army can only retreat on the whole line in the end; If Yang Yuan also led his troops out of Namwon at that time, I am afraid that not only will the entire Jeolla Province be gained and lost, but the corpses of 50,000 soldiers of the Western Route Army will also flow into the Yellow Sea along the Han River.

Therefore, Xiu Yuancai decided to advance to Seoul from the south to the north, using various methods of breaking, and after the capture of Namwon, he continued to go north, joined the middle route army in Chungcheong-do, gathered a total of 80,000 troops of the two armies, and fought a decisive battle with the Ming army in Seoul, and the eastern route army, if nothing else, should be able to turn into Chungcheong-do after the capture of Sangju and join forces with the other two armies in Seoul.

However, people are not as good as heaven, even if Xiuyuan plans in detail, there will always be some unexpected things that disrupt his position, the first is that Kato Kiyomasa failed to arrive in Nanyuan on time to meet with the main force, as for the reason, it is not because of the guerrilla warfare of the "red-clothed general" Guo Zaiyou, but a small city standing on the border of two roads.

This small city is called Huangshi Mountain City, named because it is located at the foot of Huangshi Mountain, and the defenders of the city will be Guo Qian, the governor of Anyin County, Bai Shilin, the envoy of Jinhai Prefecture, and Zhao Zongdao, the guard of Xianyang County.

Huangshi Mountain is the jurisdiction of Anyin County, earlier Anyin County was conquered by Qing Zheng led the army, Guo Qian, as a typical diehard, did not flee like most officials, but packed up the remnants and retreated to Huangshi Mountain City, in order to block the Japanese army and buy time for the defenders of Nanyuan.

At this time, Bai Shilin met Guo Kuan, Guo Kuan knew Bai Shilin's identity as a military general through his official rank, and was immediately overjoyed, and invited him to defend the city together: "The general came from Jinhai, and he must know the situation of the Japanese people, and the lower official is just a scholar, not enough to take on the responsibility of defending the city. ”

Bai Shilin's face turned pale when he heard this, as the envoy of Jinhai Prefecture, he had already experienced the fierceness of the Japanese army, and it was because of this that he abandoned the city and fled north, and now if he led a thousand old, weak, sick and disabled troops against the 10,000 troops of Qingzheng, wouldn't he jump into the fire pit by himself? Bai Shilin said that he couldn't agree to Guo Qian's request, but he was afraid of being infamous on his back, so he had to excuse himself and refused: "The last general is willing to defend the city with you, but the soldiers of Huangshi Mountain City are outnumbered, and it is not enough to fight with the Japanese Kou, and I also ask Lord Guo to wait for a few days, and I will go to Huowang Mountain City to ask General Guo Zaiyou for troops. ”

"What your lord says is very true!" Guo Wei said excitedly: "It can really be said that the gentleman sees the same thing, and the subordinate you said also thought of it, no, I have already sent someone to Huowang Mountain yesterday, and now the general only needs to guard the city, and the rest will be handed over to the subordinate to deal with." ”

At this moment, Bai Shilin really wants to slap himself, what excuse is not good, how did he find this? Now that he has hit the gun, he has no choice but to agree to it, otherwise with Guo Qian's character, I am afraid that he will escape on the spot and correct himself.

Guarding Huangshi Mountain is Guo Qian's duty, and Bai Shilin is a last resort, but for Zhao Zongdao, it is really out of noble national integrity.

Xianyang is located in the south of Anyin, which is not within the scope of Qingzheng's attack, Zhao Zongdao as the county guard of Xianyang, defending the land and the people is a great achievement, and there is no need to wade into this muddy water, but he thinks that the expulsion of the Japanese is not divided into defense areas, even if there is an enemy situation in Seoul, even if it is a thousand miles away, it is self-serving, not to mention the Huangshi Mountain more than ten miles away? So Zhao Zongdao led the Xianyang defenders to join up with Guo Kuan, vowing to prevent Qingzheng from advancing to the southern plains.

Qingzheng is definitely a fierce and vicious existence for the Koreans, thinking that in Jinju, Gyeongju and even Wonsan, which city was not because of him, corpses are everywhere, its ferocity is definitely not less than the Japanese army that invaded China that year, and even Sancheng, as a prison army, can not stand it, as soon as he returns to China, he will participate in a copy to Hideyoshi, so that Qingzheng not only did not get a reward, but was scolded by Hideyoshi for killing too much.

Therefore, Qingzheng learned to be obedient this time, and did not slaughter the city as before, but followed the governor's example, focusing on pacification, supplemented by crusade, so that he really persuaded some small cities, but still could not prevent him from being "praised" by the Koreans as a synonym for "dog".

The road to the west was smooth, and he did not encounter any decent resistance (in fact, Guo Qian's command ability was limited, relying on a sense of responsibility), and he was about to enter Jeolla Road, but he was blocked by the small city of Huangshi Mountain, which really annoyed Qingzheng, and saw the old, weak, sick and disabled at the head of the city, without saying a word, he ordered the siege of the city!

As soon as the military order was issued, nearly 1,000 iron cannons aimed at the head of the city was a shot, and in an instant, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, bricks were splashed, dozens of soldiers defending the city fell to the ground in response, and the militia defending the city began to be chaotic. Seeing this scene, Qingzheng ordered the whole army to attack, some of the soldiers rammed the city gate with a crashing car, and the other part tried to set up a ladder to climb into the city.

In the face of such a fierce offensive, the defenders of the city could not organize effective resistance, and in a short time, nearly 100 Japanese troops climbed over the city wall and killed the defenders at the city gate. Seeing this, Bai Shilin immediately rushed to the city to support, but before he could rush to the city gate, he heard a "boom", the city gate was wide open, and thousands of Japanese troops poured into the outer city like a tide under the leadership of Qingzheng.

"The city is broken." Bai Shilin hid on the side of the city tower, staring at the city gate in horror, watching a large number of Japanese troops kill in the inner city. At this moment, he had lost what little courage he had left, and he had regained his cowardly side when he was in Gimhae City.

"General, the outer city has been broken, hurry back to the inner city to support Lord Guo!" Seeing Bai Shilin's abnormal expression, a staff general urged loudly.

"Quick, prepare my horses quickly, and make sure to get to the inner city before the Japanese invaders." Although Bai Shilin was still frightened, his words still gave his subordinates a hint of excitement: "It is worthy of being a general from Jin Hailai, but he is calmer than us, and it is not certain who wins and who loses." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the general immediately brought the war horse and handed it to Bai Shilin, and said excitedly: "The general is benevolent and the last general has nothing to repay, you can rest assured to go to the inner city, this place will be handed over to our dozens of brothers, even if it is death, we must pull one or two widows as backs." ”

"Then there are the Lao brothers." Bai Shilin barely squeezed out a few tears, looked at the remaining more than thirty people, sighed and rushed away.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the dead fell one after another, and the Japanese occupied the entire outer city;

After another quarter of an hour, Bai Shilin broke through the siege, but he did not go to support the inner city, but fled from the side gate of Huangshi Mountain;

Half an hour later, the inner city was breached, and Guo Kuan was killed in battle;

An hour later, Zhao Zongdao jumped off the cliff and slaughtered the city.

More than 100 years later, Guo Jun and Zhao Zongdao were welcomed into the Martyrs' Shrine and worshiped by the world until today.

In short, the battle, which lasted for half a day, finally ended in a complete victory for the Japanese army, and from then on, there was no barrier east of Nanyuan, and a tragic battle of 40,000 against 3,000 was about to begin.
