Text: Volume 12, Chapter 2, Section 11 Fight the Japanese again

Huang Fuming and Yang Guozhu looked at the letter in their hands, and they were shocked in their hearts, they didn't expect the Japanese to really get involved, and they still sent 300,000 troops to kill the back of the army!

"This trick is really ruthless! This is the number of ways to wipe out more than 200,000 soldiers of my right army! ”

Yang Guozhu said with an unkind face, he had already scolded the Japanese army in his heart.

And Huang Fuming was also angry, and said hatefully: "Fortunately, the main general of the Korean army is a waste, otherwise our army will face the front and rear attacks of the 700,000 troops of North Korea and Japan, and the victory or defeat of this battle is really difficult to say!" Hateful! ”

"What do we do now? Will we continue to attack the city of Pyongyang, or will we hold on to it? Or do you want to retreat to Fortress Fortress first? ”

Huang Fuming did not answer directly, but groaned for a while, and then said firmly: "Fight!" Now the North Korean army in Pyongyang still has 250,000 horses, and its strength is still the same! If our army shows any posture of retreat, it is very likely that the Korean army will turn from defense to attack, and then our army's situation will be passive! ”

Yang Guozhu nodded and said, "Reasonable!" Let's fight more resolutely here, and Mr. Wu can also relax and concentrate on cleaning up the widows in the back! ”

Therefore, Huang Fuming and Yang Guozhu made up their minds, and early the next morning, they led 70,000 soldiers of the Yulin Battalion and Xuanfu Town to Pyongyang, led by the artillery battalion of the Yulin Battalion, and launched a siege battle.

Although the North Korean army in Pyongyang was defeated one after another, and even the commander of the army was replaced, the morale of the general Park Jinxiu was still rebounded. Moreover, Park Jinxiu's prestige in the army is very high, and his talent is also higher than that of Li Zhe, so in the face of the onslaught of tens of thousands of Ming troops, the Korean army in Pyongyang City defended quite well, so that the Ming soldiers never had the opportunity to attack the city, but only bombarded the city with firearms to kill and injure the Korean army.

For a while, the two sides began a stalemate confrontation.

At the same time, Wang Xiancheng.

The king of Joseon, Yi Ju, received an urgent report from the general Park Jin-so, and learned that the commander of the army, Yi Zhe, marched at will and commanded indiscriminately, so that the 400,000 troops who attacked were defeated in a battle, and 250,000 soldiers were annihilated by the Ming army, and now the remnants of the soldiers and horses have retreated to Pyongyang City. In addition, Park Jinxiu also said in an urgent report that for the sake of the future of the Korean state, in order to avoid becoming a scapegoat for Li Chul to shirk the responsibility for the defeat, he had no choice but to put him to justice on the spot, and now he has fully taken over the 250,000 troops in Pyongyang, and is engaged in a bloody battle with the tens of thousands of Ming troops who came to attack the city.

Looking at the urgent report in his hand, Li Liang's face was very ugly. In fact, for Li Liang, the death of a Li Zhe is not a big deal, after all, compared to the Korean Kingdom, a straw bag is dispensable. It's just that now the army lost 250,000 soldiers in the first battle, and Park Jinxiu also directly seized the military power, and now most of the soldiers and horses in North Korea are all in the hands of Park Jinxiu, which makes Li Liang's heart feel very uncomfortable.

You know, how did Lee's North Korea come to be today? It was Li Chenggui, the ancestor of Li Liang, who supported the army and directly led the army to rebel and replace Wang's Goryeo and founded the country!

Now, how could Lee Woo allow Park Jin-so to support his own troops?

However, there is one thing that Li Ju is still very clear, that is, the first priority at present is to face the Ming army, and the second is to solve Park Jinxiu!

Li Ji thought about it and felt that the best way to solve Park Jinxiu was to have a heavy army in his own hands and have a stronger strength than Park Jinxiu. At that time, whether it is the Ming army, the Japanese army or Park Jinxiu, Li Liang will not take it seriously!

Therefore, Yi Ju decided to lead the 100,000 troops in his hands to retreat to the south, directly evacuate Wangxian City, and retreat all the way to Jeonju Mu in Jeolla Province, which is a large population in North Korea in the south of Jeolla Province, Gyeongsang Province, and Chungcheong Province.

However, when Li Liang gave the order, several leading generals around him came to advise, hoping that Li Liang could continue to hold on to Wang Wei City in accordance with the strategy set before the war, so as to serve as a backup for the front-line army and not easily shake the morale of the front-line army.

At this time, Li Liang had already made up his mind, where would he still be able to listen, and said to the generals: "This king led the army to Jeolla Province for the frontline war, and to recruit a large army to continue to fight against the Ming army!" As for the morale of the front-line soldiers, this king will also consider it. In this way, the king ordered that the name of Wang Weicheng be changed to Seoul, so that the morale of the soldiers on the front line will be greatly boosted when they hear it. ”

The generals all smiled bitterly when they heard it, and the morale of the soldiers on the front line could be boosted by changing their names? What's the use of that?

The generals' admonition was unsuccessful, so they could only carry out the order and lead an army of 100,000 to surround Li Liang and go south to Jeolla Road.

When Park Jinxiu, who was confronting tens of thousands of soldiers in Yulin Camp and Xuanfu Town, heard the news, he actually howled and cried in front of the generals, and after some persuasion by the generals, Park Jinxiu said: "If the Japanese army that sneaked up on the rear of the Ming army does not work, then the city of Pyongyang will definitely not be able to hold it. And the king actually gave up Wang Xiancheng directly, just changed the name, what's the use! ”

All the generals were silent when they heard this, and their hearts were full of worries about the battle situation in front of them, and they couldn't even see any hope of victory.

Ping'an Road East Road, eighty miles west of Miaoxiang Mountain, east bank of Qingchuan River.

Li Dingguo, the chief military officer of Liaonan Town, and Ai Nengqi, the chief military officer of Tashan Town, led 80,000 soldiers under their command to camp by the river.

After dividing his troops to the north with the main army, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi attacked together, conquering 23 large and small towns in North Korea in a row, annihilating more than 30,000 enemies, all the way like a bamboo, no one can stop it!

Previously, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi were either against the soldiers of the Hanwei army led by Liu Yunwei, the Duke of Zhenguo, or led the army against the Manchu Iron Cavalry after surrendering. Now, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi led tens of thousands of soldiers of the Hanwei Army to sweep through the north of Korea, as if they were in a no-man's land, they all sighed in their hearts, and the feeling of abusing the opponent was so good!

But the good times didn't last long, when Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi led their troops to the plain between the Qingchuan River and Miaofeng Mountain, they encountered 300,000 Japanese troops who were preparing to cut off the back route of the Ming army!

When the two sides first met, they were a little confused. Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi didn't expect the Japanese army to suddenly appear here, and the Japanese army was still so strong. The Japanese army was also taken aback, but they didn't expect tens of thousands of elite Ming troops to suddenly appear and block their way, thinking that the battle plan was leaked, and the Ming army had already laid a pocket array waiting for them.

At this time, whether it was the soldiers of the Hanwei Army or the 300,000 Japanese troops, they were a little afraid of beating the wolf with a hemp pole. The two sides were at a stalemate in the plain between the Cheongchon River and the Myofeng Mountains, and although both sides sent small forces of troops and horses to carry out tentative attacks, they were still relatively cautious and did not launch a major attack.

During this period, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi also figured out the plans of the Japanese army, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, if Wu Xing, the commander of the Right Route Army, did not divide his troops to the north, and Li Dingguo and Ainengqi did not lead the army to block 300,000 Japanese troops here, then the Right Route Army would be made dumplings by the North Korean and Japanese coalition forces!

"Thankfully! Lucky! ”

Eneng muttered with palpitations.

Li Dingguo was also afraid for a while, and hurriedly sent out a letter to Wu Xing at night.

In this way, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi waited for more than ten days in the confrontation with the Japanese army before waiting for Wu Xing's reply.

Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi hurriedly opened the reply letter and looked at it, only to see that the reply letter read: "I hope that the two generals will stubbornly defend the east of the Qingchuan River and the west of Miaoxiang Mountain, and drag the 300,000 Japanese troops on the plain of the mountains and rivers, and they must not take half a step back!" ”

After reading the reply, Ai Nengqi looked at the thoughtful Li Dingguo and asked, "Brother, what does Mr. Wu mean?" This letter didn't make it clear how the next battle would be fought and how we would act! ”

Li Dingguo pondered for a while, then suddenly laughed, pointed to the map and said: "You see, the plain we are in is a long and narrow form from south to north, and thirty miles after passing the Japanese army camp in the north, it is Wolf Forest Mountain!" If the plain where we are located is described as a long and narrow bottle, then the Wolf Forest Mountain is the bottle stopper, our tens of thousands of troops are the bottom of the bottle, and the 300,000 Japanese troops are the turtles in the urn! ”

Hearing this, Ainengqi's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he laughed and said, "Haha! The Japanese and North Korean mongrels want to give us a front and rear attack, but they must not have imagined that we will come to a counter-encirclement! Kill the 300,000 Japanese troops in front of us first, and then the 3,000 miles of rivers and mountains of Korea will be a good battlefield for us to gallop across the country! ”

Therefore, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi carefully discussed, and then decided to attack and defend, and firmly dragged the 300,000 Japanese troops in front of them here and couldn't move.

Early the next morning, more than 80,000 soldiers from Liaonan Town and Tashan Town set out camp, pressed all the way to the north, and drove until they were ten miles away from the 300,000 Japanese army camp before stopping and re-encamping.

After receiving the news of the advance of the Ming army, the Japanese army commander Sakai Tadaji convened the generals to discuss urgently, and after a while, the six Japanese generals came to the Chinese army's tent and sat down one by one.

And behind the main general Sakai Tadaji and the six generals, a large back flag was erected, on which were the names of the people.

"Great Japan no Zhang Fei", "Fortitude General", "Akakii I", "Tokaido's No. 1 Strong Bow", "Oni Hanzo", "Gun no Hanzo", etc.

And everyone is also full of momentum, if it weren't for the fact that the generals are all very short, and even the people are a lot shorter, as if they were children of the Ming Dynasty, they really look extremely strong.

Seeing that all the generals had arrived, the main general Sakai Tadaji told him about the advance of the 80,000 Ming army, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

For a time, the six generals present all shouted for battle, and they all shouted that they wanted to wash the Ming army in blood.
