One Hundred and Eighteenth Li Rusong's Bloody Battle of Kaesong (I)
Kobayakawa Takakei won't really joke with his life, after all, he is old, and the previous scolding is just pure unhappiness, and in such a situation, if he has to pretend to be forced is to kill himself, he is not less afraid of the Ming army than others, and he knows that as long as you keep most of your main force, the war is imminent, even if you lose Kaejo, you will not be held accountable, at most one or two sentences of reprimand. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There is no way, the Ming army is too strong, we resist desperately, who knows that the Ming army set fire to the city, and in desperation, we can only lead the army to withdraw to prevent being surrounded and annihilated by the Ming army, and hold the vitality of the three legions and the sixth legion, which can be regarded as meritorious service, right?
The status of Takashi Kobayakawa and Kuroda Rusui's son Kuroda Nagamasa is relatively special, even if they lose a battle, they will not threaten their status, let alone their lives.
The city that was supposed to be given up, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's just for a breath, and now your life is almost gone, what are you going to do with this breath?
Kobayakawa Takashi slipped out of Kaejo, ran to the Imjin River and found Kuroda Nagamasa who was pacifying the army to speed up the river, and Kuroda Nagamasa was also very uneasy at this time, I don't know what happened in the city, but seeing the billowing wolf smoke, the army's heart was uneasy, and there was even a soldier rushing to cross the river, he drew his sword and cut three people in a row to stabilize the scene, and now Kobayakawa Takashi ran out wearing armor, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"What the hell is going on?!"
"Don't ask, the Ming army raided, the west gate has been breached, I don't know how many people there are, they are still burning the city, the city will definitely not be able to hold it, immediately arrange for the army to cross the river quickly, I let Tachibana Zongmao lead the army to defend the east gate to buy time."
Kuroda Nagamasa was shocked: "What about the cavalry responsible for seeking the enemy?" All dead? ”
"I don't know! Why did it suddenly come out! It looks like there are quite a few of them! Those sentinels should have seppuku! Damn it! As soon as he mentioned this, Kobayakawa Takashi was also full of anger, and he didn't succeed in one breath and went directly to the fire: "But no matter what, we must arrange for the army to cross the river immediately, and quickly!" I've already asked people to go to the city to gather troops, in case Tachibana Zongmao can't hold the east gate, and the Ming soldiers break through and chase to the riverside, then we will really have to collectively cut our stomach! ”
Kuroda Nagamasa broke out in a cold sweat, gasped, nodded immediately, and ordered his subordinates to speed up the crossing of the river, a boat for me to load a few more people, as long as the boat does not capsize, it is fine, and even people can be tied to the rope, and the people on the boat are pulled together and brought to the other side, as long as the river crossing is successful, the Ming army will not be able to catch up!
Because we can burn the boat, can't they still swim over?!
Kuroda Nagamasa and Kobayakawa Takakei immediately split up and accelerated the speed of the army crossing the river, those soldiers saw the black smoke in the city and knew that something was wrong, and now the generals and daimyo have appeared to ask everyone to cross the river quickly, so what happened in the city is not a word?
Don't want to die! Hurry up and cross the river!
Kobayakawa Takashi grabbed a boat to cross the river first, and then found the Shimazu Yoshihiro Department of the Fourth Army Corps on the opposite side who was responsible for receiving the river crossing troops, his troops were all Satsuma soldiers, and they were good at using iron cannons, even if the Ming army wanted to cross the river, there were his troops to guard the river bank, and it was difficult for the Ming army to cross the river, so Kobayakawa Takashi found Shimazu Yoshihiro and asked his troops to help, Shimazu Yoshihiro had long been very unhappy because of the Ming panic within the Japanese army brought about by the defeat of Konishi Yukinaga, so he agreed.
With Shimazu Yoshihiro's pressing formation, the troops of the Third Army Corps and the Sixth Army Corps who crossed the river also gained confidence and began to speed up in an orderly manner, sending people to the east bank of the Imjin River one by one.
And the battle of Li Rusong in the city is gradually coming to an end, the fire in Kaesong has become a wasteland, the Japanese invaders have no reason to hold on, at this time, as long as they fight all the way to the east, they can hit the Imjin River, and they can directly threaten the base camp of the Japanese invaders Seoul after crossing the river.
The opening of the city is already a sure thing, but Li Rusong is absolutely not satisfied, he will never stop there, the city is not the most powerful place for the cavalry, the flat place outside the city is the place where the cavalry shows their might and teaches the Japanese a hard lesson, so Li Rusong rushed towards the east vigorously, rushed for a while and did not meet the Japanese Kou, and the vision ahead was not too good, so he led the team to continue to rush, rushing to suddenly stand up with sweat hair all over his body, and the experience of licking blood from the knife edge for many years brought him an extremely keen sixth sense.
He almost instinctively lowered his body on the back of the horse, and shouted "bow his head", but unfortunately most of him were Jurchens who could not understand Chinese, and did not understand Li Rusong's meaning, as a result, a group of lead bullets on the way knocked off the horses of more than ten Jurchen cavalry, and a large number of horses were shot and died.
The sound of muskets stimulated Li Rusong's nerves, and when he looked up, under the smoke, he actually saw that there was a tall city tower opposite, and under the city tower was a dense row after row of Japanese musket teams formed in formation.
He had seen this kind of formation in the camp of Zhenjiang Fort, Xiao Ruxun arranged the soldiers in this way, now his subordinates have no shields, no cannons, only flesh and blood, looking back, more than a dozen Jurchen soldiers who rushed with him have been killed, and a group of people who fell to the ground like him and did not get up, Li Rusong gritted his teeth, grabbed the body of a dead Jurchen soldier with one hand as cover, jumped up and ran back.
Gunshots kept ringing out behind him, and lead kept flying, but Li Rusong was stunned that he was not injured at all, and it could be regarded as a great blessing.
At this time, hearing the sound of this piece, many cavalry began to gather here, Nurhachi was the first to arrive, and at a glance he saw Li Rusong, who was panting against the wall of the house, and almost didn't scare his soul out, he hurriedly dismounted and ran over: "Da Lang! Are you okay? ”
"It's okay! Don't cry like you're mourning! God-damned wolf, play the bird formation, let the army gather, you bring a group of people to charge me, and break their formation! Get out of the East Gate! ”
"No!"
Li Rusong was quite unhappy about the fact that he almost died after falling from a horse just now, the lord humiliated his ministers to death, Nurhachi said and gathered a group of about two or three hundred cavalry that could be gathered, and rushed out with a rumbling bang, and after a while, Li Rusong heard a dense burst of gunfire that made people's scalps tingle, and couldn't help but make Li Rusong a little worried, but soon, Li Rusong saw Nurhachi with a gray face and a palpitating heart.
"Da Lang, my troops are too small, and before I can break through, I was defeated......"
Okay, after losing hundreds of cavalry, Li Rusong slammed his fist against the wall, remembering how Xiao Ruxun dealt with the gun array of these widows at that time, he was suddenly a little annoyed - he had already pushed a few car cannons over, and those little devils were obedient to the car cannons one by one, if only he brought the car cannons!
But......
I have to say that at this moment, he actually admired Xiao Ruxun's strategic plan with infantry as the main force, after coming to North Korea, he saw the terrain of North Korea, this poor and remote place is really not suitable for the development and combat of cavalry, and the musket of the Japanese is quite sharp, one or two shots is nothing, but one or two hundred strokes together, even if he can't kill people, a batch of horses killed is enough for him to feel distressed......
And at this moment, the battle situation is not too good for Li Rusong.
