In the dark of night, the bonfire of the nameless fortress at the entrance of the Hot Spring Plain was bright, and the soldiers of the Yulin Battalion and the soldiers of Xuanfu Town set up a large camp on each of the two wings of the nameless fortress, and the soldiers of the 80,000 Ming Army were resting in the camp.

At this time, there was silence around the two fortified camps, and in the night of North Korea, it seemed that only the cold wind was howling, and there was no sign of life other than that.

It was late at night, and Yang Guozhu, the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town, dragged his tired body to sleep after inspecting the camp. And Huang Fuming, the chief military officer of Haixi Town, was still not sleepy, and was still thinking about the current battle situation in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Suddenly, the sound of iron hooves galloping on horses and galloping horses of a group of soldiers trapped in the camp at night came from the night, which suddenly woke up tens of thousands of soldiers in Yulin Camp and Xuanfu Town from their sleep, and the two Ming army camps instantly sounded the sound of war drums.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Huang Fuming, the chief military officer of Haixi Town, and Yang Guozhu, the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town, hurriedly put on their armor and ordered the guards, and the two of them flew on their horses and rushed to the nameless fortress.

When Huang Fu Ming and Yang Guozhu rushed to the hall of the nameless fortress together, the team of soldiers who did not collect the night camp also arrived, and when they saw the two main generals, one of the leaders immediately saluted and said: "I have seen Huangfu General Town and Yang General Town!" ”

"What's wrong?"

Huang Fuming and Yang Guozhu asked in unison.

"Qi Yu two head towns! Wu Zongzhen has an order, it is very likely that the main force of the Korean army has retreated to the area of the Hot Spring Plain to deploy, and is ready to fight a decisive battle with our army in the Hot Spring Plain. ”

Huang Fuming and Yang Guozhu were taken aback when they heard this, and they both wondered why the Korean army gave up the Yalu River, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and why they fought a decisive battle with the powerful right army soldiers in the hot spring plain, where there was no danger to defend, isn't this asking for their own death?

At this time, Yang Guozhu, the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town, seemed to remember something and asked, "But there is news from the Japanese army?" ”

"Not yet, but Wu Zongzhen suspects that the Korean army's battle plan is very likely to be related to the Japanese army!"

Hearing this, the faces of Huang Fuming and Yang Guozhu became grim, and the two hurriedly opened the Korean topographic map that they had urgently drawn before the war and took a closer look.

After a long while, Huang Fuming and Yang Guozhu glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes.

Huang Fuming said to the general manager who did not collect a hundred people at night: "If only the Korean army is attacking in this battle, and it is attacking the whole country, then where will the Japanese army that may have secretly participated in the war be?" General Yang and I both thought that the Japanese army would sneak attack our army! ”

The night non-collector was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "This is not a good thing! I went back overnight to report to Mr. Wu! ”

After saying that, the night does not collect hundreds of people turned to leave, and with the sound of rapid iron hooves, the team of night soldiers who were trapped in the camp rushed out of the nameless fortress and disappeared into the night.

After the team left overnight, Huang Fuming and Yang Guozhu discussed countermeasures overnight, and after discussing for a long time, they decided to make this nameless fortress a burial place for the Korean army!

The discussion was decided, Huang Fuming and Yang Guozhu took action, and the two summoned all the generals and above of Yulin Battalion and Xuanfu Town overnight to come to the discussion, and mobilized all the soldiers in the two towns to build fortifications overnight to prepare for a decisive battle with the Korean army.

After a while, Liu Jinhui, general of the first battalion of the Yulin battalion, Lan Yuan, general of the second battalion, Li Mingzhi, general of the third battalion, You Dagui, general of the cavalry battalion, Li Genqi, general of the artillery battalion, and Zhao Meng, general of the baggage battalion, rushed to the hall of the nameless fortress first. After a while, five generals from Xuanfu Town also arrived.

Huang Fuming and Yang Guozhu sat at the top together, and the two of them informed the generals of the situation facing the army, and then Huang Fuming said: "In this battle, my Yulin Battalion and the soldiers of Xuanfu Town are the vanguard of the right army, and they are going to inflict heavy losses on the Korean army in this nameless fortress!" ”

Yang Guozhu also said loudly: "This town has completed discussions with Huangfu General Town, and from tonight onwards, this nameless fortress will be used as the location of the Chinese army, build a ring defense, and start a bloody battle with the Korean army here!" ”

After speaking, the two informed the generals in detail of the negotiated strategy.

After a full hour, the generals of the various departments hurriedly left the nameless fortress, while Huangfuming and Yang Guozhu moved the Chinese troops of Yulin Camp and Xuanfu Town to the nameless fortress, so as to condescendingly command the soldiers of the two towns to fight.

After the generals of the various departments returned to the army one after another, they led the soldiers of the army that had been assembled by the various departments and began to get busy.

I saw that the soldiers of each battalion of the Yulin Battalion were located south of the nameless fortress, and the soldiers of each battalion of Xuanfu Town were located to the north of the nameless fortress, and the soldiers of the two towns seized the time to build fortifications, and dug two trenches with two people deep around the nameless fortress, and the distance between the two trenches was fifty steps away, and a half-man-high breastwall was built behind each trench.

A gap was placed in the trenches and the breastwork every two hundred paces to allow for the placement of all kinds of artillery, and the musketeers in the two towns were all placed behind the breastwork for easy firing. The rest of the officers and men retreated behind the breastwork, ready to launch a counterattack at any time.

After the deployment of the infantry army of the two towns, You Dagui, the general of the Yulin Battalion, led more than 7,000 iron cavalry soldiers to rush out of the fortifications and disappeared into the night, waiting to move as a surprise army.

As for the 3,000 iron cavalry soldiers in Xuanfu Town, they were left in the fortifications and used as an important defensive counterattack force of the army, so as to strengthen the counterattack force of the army.

By noon the next day, the fortifications of the Nameless Fortress had basically been completed, and tens of thousands of soldiers from the two towns had entered the designated positions, ready to meet the Korean army.

On this day, the originally cold wind softened under the tense atmosphere before the war, which made the Ming soldiers who had already entered the position feel very comfortable.

I saw that Liu Jinhui, the staff general of the first battalion of the Yulin battalion, led his troops to guard behind the first chest wall, and the second battalion staff officer led Lan Yuan to guard behind the second chest wall; Li Mingzhi, the general of the C Battalion, divided the more than 7,000 elite birdmen under his command into two parts, with 4,000 birdmen stationed behind the outermost breastwork, and the remaining 3,000 or so birdboys stationed behind the second breastwork.

Li Genqi, the general of the artillery battalion, had also dispersed the 40 Huzun guns and 40 Shenji gun trucks in the artillery battalion and deployed them separately in the entire outermost brachial position, and the remaining 30 Da Buddha Lang machine guns were all moved to the head of the nameless fortress, ready to bombard the Korean army from a high position.

Zhao Meng, the general of the baggage battalion, led his soldiers to withdraw into the nameless fortress, and was responsible for directing the soldiers to allocate reserve materials.

Like the soldiers of the Yulin Battalion, the soldiers of Xuanfu Town were also guarded, and the firecrackers and archers all entered the two chest walls to defend themselves, and the rest of the main melee soldiers were also ready to fight after entering the chest wall.

And within the defense line north of the nameless fortress, the twelve artillery pieces carried by the army in Xuanfu Town, together with the Huzun cannon and Shenji cannon supported by the Yulin battalion, were all deployed.

After the efforts of the soldiers of the two towns in the middle of the night and half a day, an unnamed fortress that had been abandoned for a long time in the wilderness has become a huge camp like an iron wall, looking at all directions in the wilderness.

At this time, Huang Fuming and Yang Guozhu looked around in the fortifications together, and saw that the two ring fortifications were built extremely strong, both offensive and defensive, and both of them were very satisfied.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Yulin Battalion and the soldiers of Xuanfu Town did not have the slightest timidity and nervousness before the big war, but they were all eager to try, and they were all holding back their strength, ready to beat the enemy army in the big war and win military merits, Huang Fuming and Yang Guozhu were full of confidence, and they were full of confidence in the current war!

Yang Guozhu smiled and said to Huang Fuming: "The morale of the soldiers is very high! I think our army will win this battle! ”

Huang Fuming also nodded, and said with a smile: "That's certain!" I think let's let the soldiers bury the pot and cook first, and when they are full, they can prepare for battle! ”

"Good! Then eat first. However, it is still necessary to send the night soldiers to investigate the movements of the enemy army in case of a surprise attack by the enemy army! ”

"That's nature!"

It didn't take long for several teams of soldiers to rush out of the fortifications without collecting their horses at night, while the soldiers of Yulin Battalion and Xuanfu Town began to bury pots and make rice, and for a while there was little smoke in the fortifications, and tens of thousands of Ming soldiers happily rushed towards lunch, not at all worried about the upcoming battle.

At the same time, in a mountain col twenty miles south of the unnamed fortress fortifications, 400,000 Korean troops have been assembled here, led by Li Zhe, the generalissimo of Gyeonggi Province of Korea, preparing to go north to raid the tens of thousands of Ming troops stationed in the nameless fortress to combat the arrogance of the Ming army!

"In this battle, our Great Korea will definitely be able to defeat the Ming army and defend the Hot Spring Plain!"

This Gyeonggi Province Generalissimo Yi Zhe is the younger brother of the Korean king Yi Jung, and this time Li Ju tried his best to hand over the Korean army to Li Zhe despite public opinion, hoping that Li Zhe, who "has always known soldiers", would create a miracle.

This time, Li Zhe also made a big decision, leaving 100,000 troops to return to Wang Xiancheng to guard the Korean king Li Liang, so that Li Liang straightened his waist in front of the Japanese, and then left 100,000 troops to garrison Pyongyang City, as a retreat when the front line was unfavorable.

After arranging these, Li Zhe led the remaining 400,000 troops to set out, preparing to go north to meet the Ming army.

"I hope that the 300,000 Japanese troops who have set out can successfully cut off the retreat of the Ming army, and these more than 200,000 Ming troops will definitely return to the division to fight to the death! Hum! When the time comes, the Ming army and the Japanese army will definitely fight to the death, and our Great Korea will just take advantage of the fisherman! ”

Li Zhe thought to himself in his heart, a sneer couldn't help but appear on his face, and then he said to the herald beside him: "Pass the order!" The army immediately marched north! ”
