Right in front of Xiao Ruxun's eyes, Liu Chenglong rolled off his horse and cried bitterly in front of the ruins of the temple, and the shame of almost losing the country made him feel heartbroken. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this moment, Liu Chenglong suddenly thought that a few years ago, a person who knew feng shui told him that he had observed a glowing corpse qi in the sky over Seoul, the harbinger of this great chaos, the glow of the confusion refers to Mars, which is regarded as a disaster and anomalous phenomenon, and the corpse qi is an open star cluster located in the constellation of Cancer.

Liu Chenglong is a Confucian student, he is silent, he has never believed in this, but at this moment, this situation, how can he not be heartbroken, how can he not regret it?

After crying, Liu Chenglong knelt in front of Xiao Ruxun's horse again, crying bitterly, asking Xiao Ruxun to avenge the suffering father of North Korea, and avenge the hatred of the country for him North Korea, Xiao Ruxun said good things to help him up, and when he was helped up, Liu Chenglong cried and lost his soul, and fainted directly without taking a breath, which made Xiao Ruxun's guards hurriedly take Liu Chenglong to find a doctor.

"Miserable! Miserable! Seeing this, the old man still felt desolate in his heart, let alone the North Koreans, how could these gangs of Japanese robbers be so cruel and ruthless? ”

Yuan Huang's face was full of anger.

"A bunch of brutes! If the scourge of North Korea is like this, if they really hit the territory of Daming, I don't know what kind of disaster the people of Daming will suffer! These brutes! It's not good to fight, but it's a first-class good hand to harm people! I can't wait to raise 100,000 troops to level the island now! so that he will never be able to turn over! ”

Xiao Ruxun pulled out his sword and slashed at a dead wood, and the blade of the sword was deeply embedded in the dead wood.

"Now the supplies are almost over, and the supplies are just short of gunpowder and shells, and they are still on the way, and there is still half a day to go at most, Ji Xin, when will we march?"

Xiao Ruxun looked at the sky and shook his head: "Look at the sky, it will rain soon, let's rest for a day or two, wait for the rain to stop and then hurry, if you rush to the rain, even if you rush to Zhongzhou, the soldier will fall ill a lot, now it's cold, you can't get rain, the soldier's body is the first, come on, give the order, starting today, each battalion must take water to boil, every soldier must burn his feet every night before he can sleep, there must be no difference!" ”

"No!"

Immediately, there were guards looking for a military judge to pass the order, seeing this, Yuan Huang said warmly: "If you talk about remembering the soldiers, I have been from Rong for decades, and I really have never seen anyone stronger than you." ”

"The cold starts from the feet, in this cold day, one person is not careful, and one person can infect many people with a cold." Xiao Ruxun tightened his battle robe and coat: "The soldiers give you your life, you can't treat people badly, if you are sick, you will make a mistake, and if you don't get it right, you will have to make a plague, if the army has a plague at this moment, it is no different from defeating the battle, as the main general, I am duty-bound." ”

Saying that, Xiao Ruxun looked at Yuan Huang's thin body, this little old man has been busy with himself from Yizhou, and he has not seen a break for four months, his face is a little bad, and he seems to be trembling, Xiao Ruxun took off his cloak and coat and put it on Yuan Huang.

"Alas...... You...... It's yours, the old man has it! ”

Yuan Huang wanted to resign, Xiao Ruxun grabbed Yuan Huang's arms, and said solemnly: "Yuan Zan is a military division in our army, if he falls ill, my army has no military division, how can I fight?" This is a military order! Yuan Zanhua must take care of his body! Come on, go to the medical officer and get a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea! ”

"No!"

The guards turned and ran.

Yuan Huang's heart was warm, so he sighed and said with a smile: "Sixty-year-old people, a handful of years, how can they care so much about how long they can live, it is God's gift to live for a day now, even if they are sick and dead now, it is also a joy and mourning, and it is not in vain to be able to personally participate in this war in the last years of this life, so why be dissatisfied?" ”

"Don't think like this, once you think like this, anyone who can live to be eighty years old can ask Lord Yama to take it away." Xiao Ruxun smiled: "Don't think too much about your old man, there are still old qualifications like you on this battlefield." ”

Yuan Huang smiled slightly and did not speak again.

On December 7, Xiao Ruxun led the army to take Chungju like lightning, and broke 5,000 Japanese pirates in the Bird Ridge Heavenly Danger, and then the army broke into Gyeongsang-do, and the soldiers pointed directly at Sangju, the Japanese were frightened, and they collapsed in Shangzhou without a fight, and 10,000 troops fled in embarrassment, and on December 10, Xiao Ruxun successfully led the army to sweep all the Japanese around Sangju, and the army entered Sangju City.

Because the progress was very smooth, on 12 December, Xiao Ruxun ordered Li Rusong, the vanguard of the army, to take Daegu directly, and he led the army to press the formation in the rear, arranging post stations and warehouses along the way, and after Xiao Ruxun arrived in Daegu on 15 December, he was somewhat surprised to find that Li Rusong did not move his troops in Daegu and did not continue to advance to attack the Busan area, which was quite inconsistent with Li Rusong's consistent behavior.

So Xiao Ruxun asked Li Rusong why he didn't go forward, Li Rusong took Xiao Ruxun to the front line of the army to take a look, Rao is Xiao Ruxun was mentally prepared, and he also gasped.

What they saw was a castle of black oppression.

The Japanese took Busan as the center, from Ulsan, Seosangpo to Dongnae, Gimhae, Bearcheon, and Geoje Island to build a series of castles, these castles are connected end to end, all built in dangerous places, there are 16 large fortresses in Guangdaeong, countless small fortresses, and the specifications are built according to the standards of Japanese castles, very strong.

The location of these castles is quite meaningful, from Busan into the interior of Korea, there are only three roads, one to Ulsan, one to Dongnae, one to Gimhae, plus the coastal Bear River, Geoje two waterway throats, constitute Busan's water and land transportation network, the construction of castles in these key points is equivalent to building an external three-dimensional defense line for the port of Busan, retreat can be held for reinforcements, advance can be launched at any time to launch a counteroffensive.

During that period, Japan had two technologies in the forefront of East Asia, one was the manufacture of iron cannons, and the other was the construction of castles, and the long Warring States War prompted Japan to embark on a militarized route of fortification, and the Japanese-style castle at that time was composed of a series of defensive facilities such as castle towers, turrets, gates, curved wheels, and earthen ramparts, and every detail reflected the mind of maximizing defense.

For example, the castle was built on the top of a hill near Ulsan Bay, and there were three stone walls below, the walls were six meters high, and they were all inclined in reverse, and there were moats on the periphery, and there were a large number of shooting holes in the Marujo Castle behind each wall, which could condescendingly attack the besieging enemy, but the enemy could not directly contact the castle, so they could only advance hard according to the curved passage of the wall, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Not to mention that the spies found out that the total strength of the remaining Japanese Kou was at least 40,000 soldiers, and I don't know how many auxiliary soldiers were left, in front of this kind of strong city fortress, the strength of the Ming army did not have any advantage at all, and what could be done in the field was absolutely impossible to do now.
