As Xiao Ruxun expected, what he could think of, the Japanese on the opposite side could also think of it, the artillery position was almost constructed, when the sky was just dawning, Xiao Ruxun noticed that the opposite Japanese position had changed, a large number of Japanese soldiers lined up to rush to the various fortifications by the river, looking neatly arranged, holding iron cannons, as if to deal with the Ming army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xiao Ruxun would not give them a chance to shoot, whether it was against the Ming army or at the ice that was not strong enough on the river.

"Pass my order, aim at the Japanese on the other side of the river, and open fire!"

Xiao Ruxun gave an order, and the artillery position of the Ming army immediately opened fire.

"Boom Boom T

Countless beautiful sparks exploded on the position of the Japanese on the opposite bank, the fire was raging, shrapnel splashed, the Japanese were stunned by this sudden artillery attack, Shimazu Yoshihiro himself was also collapsed, he was originally going to gather the army to guard against the Ming army crossing the river, by the way shot the ice to destroy the ice, so that the Ming army could not cross the river, but he never expected that the Ming army would strike first.

What he didn't expect was that the Ming army had so many "stone fire tubes", which could carry out such a high-intensity stone fire tube covering attack, and he didn't know if there were fifty stone fire tubes in the entire Seoul, but the stone fire tubes of the Ming army on the opposite side must be no less than fifty doors, and this important information had been reported by Kuroda Nagamasa to the Japanese military high-level in Seoul, but it did not attract enough attention, the reason was very simple, no one had seen it with their own eyes, and those who saw it with their own eyes died.

He didn't know that there were two hundred large medium-sized Franc machines across from him.

"Boom Boom T

"Boom Boom T

After three volleys, the first hundred guns in front retreated to dissipate heat, and the last hundred guns pushed forward and began firing.

"Boom Boom T

There were three more rounds of salvos, and the position of the Japanese pirates on the opposite side had been covered by a sea of fire and smoke, and at first you could see that there were Japanese pirates fleeing, but now you can't see them at all, because Shimazu Yoshihiro has already led the army to retreat, or he ran away with his own soldiers and retainers, and more than a thousand iron gunners don't want it, so he ran away first, he was lucky, he ran fast, and he didn't give the Ming army's artillery fire to extend the blow.

The river defense troops composed of 2,000 iron gunners and 3,000 ashigaru collapsed instantly, the dead and wounded, the dead and wounded, saw that the general ran away, and ran away, giving up the river defense to the Ming army, Wang Hui ran to report that Xiao Ruxun had retreated on the whole line, and when there was no one on the other side, Xiao Ruxun nodded with satisfaction, and ordered the army to pay attention to the river and the other side of the river at all times, and once there were Japanese robbers on the other side of the river, immediately launch artillery bombardment!

This time, Xiao Ruxun miscalculated, originally thought that the Imjin River defense line, an important line of defense, would have to fight back and forth for five or six times before he was willing to let go, but he didn't expect the Japanese to give up after only one time.

Until noon, Xiao Ruxun saw that the river had frozen, and when he began to arrange for foot soldiers to cross the river to set up defenses, there was still no trace of the Japanese on the opposite side, and the entire river defense line east of the Imjin River that the Japanese had spent a lot of effort to get was directly abandoned.

Xiao Ruxun was a little worried, was this some strategy of the Japanese Invaders, who wanted to attack the Ming army halfway across the river with the army, but it was not right to think about it, the range of his artillery was enough to support the foot soldiers on the other side of the river, even if the Japanese invaders came, it would be a dead end.

After the troops crossing the river were reorganized, and those relatively light small artillery pieces were also brought over, after the deployment was completed, even if the Japanese invaded the river while the heavy artillery crossed the river, it would have no effect.

Xiao Ruxun didn't figure it out, but he still arranged for manpower to start building a simple load-bearing bridge that could be used to cross the river, so as to facilitate the crossing of the river by heavy artillery, and the rest of the troops lined up on the spot, and then attacked after the main force was assembled, and sent Li Rusong under the command of Cha Dashou to lead a cavalry team of 300 people to set off first to explore what the movement of the Japanese in the direction of Hancheng was, and also focused on exploring the situation of the Japanese around the Bihu Pavilion and the nearby terrain.

The Ming army crossed the river in an orderly manner, but the Japanese have not come to attack and defend the river to limit the Ming army, Xiao Ruxun is puzzled, but from Shimazu Yoshihiro's side, it is actually very understandable.

When his position was hit by the artillery of the Ming army, Shimazu Yoshihiro knew that this line of defense had lost the meaning of restricting the Ming army, no matter how many obstacles there were, but there was no one to defend it, and the steel fortress had no meaning, let alone a frozen soil.

This frozen ground actually lost the ability to limit the cavalry, and the cavalry of the Ming army was soon able to gallop across the country, and when the time came, the two major killing weapons of artillery and cavalry swarmed up, and the Japanese army that lost the city could only completely become the experience value of the Ming army.

He saw it very clearly, and he was afraid, so he ran away decisively, this decision was right, he stayed there, he could only become cannon fodder under the artillery fire, and was miserably terminated, the same as Tachibana Zongmao, but he escaped, and escaped simply and completely, so that Xiao Ruxun couldn't catch it if he wanted to.

So Xiao Ruxun held a military meeting in Paju on the east bank of the Imjin River to discuss the next battle plan.

"Now that the Imjin River has been crossed, our army only needs to take one step further is Seoul, take Seoul, the Japanese are equivalent to the general trend has gone, our army can march to the southernmost tip of Korea without blood, and the Japanese also know the current situation, according to my judgment, they may mobilize more than 60,000 troops to concentrate in Seoul to fight against us, and there is a intention to defend Seoul, and as far as this governor knows, there is an important place forty miles north of Seoul, called Biho Pavilion, if you attack Seoul, you will take Bihu Pavilion!"

Xiao Ruxun pointed to the location of the Blue Hoof Pavilion on the map and began to assign tasks to the generals.

Bihokwan is located forty miles north of Seoul, near the Yeongshun Yongling, at the junction of the Huiyin Mountains and the plains.

The geographical environment here is divided by the Biho Pavilion and the nearby Gaoyang City, the north of Bihu and Gaoyang is the Huiyinling mountainous area, the peaks and peaks are undulating, there is only a small road in the middle, the terrain in the south tends to be flat, there are some hills on both sides of the road that are not too high, the avenue is sandwiched in the middle, it is the exit of the last mountainous area north of Seoul, from ancient times to the present, it is the only way from Kaesong to Seoul, and because it is the terrain of the transition from the mountains to the plains, it is the place where the soldiers must fight.

There is a place called Seoulyeon, which is the last line of defense west of Seoul and the last mountain pass in the south of Bihokan, so Tachibana must control this place first before the Ming army can be locked up in the mountains near Bihokan and cannot enter the Seoul area.

Once the Ming army breaks through the Bihokwan area and passes through the stone stone hyeon, the flat land around Seoul can be used by the cavalry to gallop across the country, and there is no hindrance, and the Japanese who lack cavalry will have to meet them with an iron artillery array, but the Ming army's artillery has an overwhelming advantage, and the Japanese can not overpower the Ming army in firepower no matter what.

The dense iron artillery array once destroyed the famous Takeda cavalry, but what a fluke it was, only insiders understand, if you want to replicate the glory of Oda Nobunaga's defeat of the Takeda cavalry here, it is pure fool's dream, they can only become a live target of the Ming army, and a salvo will be all over.

If it reaches that point, in order to preserve its vital strength, the Japanese army will have to retreat to Seoul and defend to the death, give up the field battle, and there will be no other way, and once Seoul is surrounded by the Ming army, the entire central high-level command of the invading Japanese army will be wiped out by the Ming army, and there will be no need to fight this battle.
