94. Pyongyang Raiders

On October 28, Xiao Ruxun ordered Kim Chung-sun and his three selected subordinates to change into the tattered clothes of the soldiers of Konishi Yuki's subordinates, dressed up in a rather miserable appearance, and rushed to the Hamxing area where Kato Kiyomasa's headquarters were stationed on several wounded horses with a letter for help based on Konishi's handwriting.

It is better to let Jin Zhongshan, who is familiar with the officer class of the Japanese army, take the lead in this matter.

In the early morning of 30 October, after four days of marching, Xiao Ruxun's army arrived at Thuan An, on the west side of Pyongyang.

This time it may really be life-threatening, Shen Weijing's old face is not very comfortable, but thinking of Xiao Ruxun's warning of wealth and wealth, this time he has done an errand, it is a great achievement, Xiao Ruxun will even accept him as his staff, become his umbrella, and let him enjoy glory and wealth.

If he had doubts about Xiao Ruxun's words before, this time, Shen Weijing completely believed that what he had fought for was the most reliable.

Shen Weijing changed into the formal dress prepared by Xiao Ruxun, put on a top hat, led He Hao, a military Chinese scholar pretending to be a Daming ceremonial official, fought a guard of honor, first sent a messenger to inform the envoy of Governor Konishi that the envoy had come, and asked him to open the city gate to pick him up personally, and then everyone prepared to prepare, and with Xiao Ruxun's instructions, they set off.

There are 200 people in the honor guard, escorting 300 officers and soldiers, 500 people is a red line, more than this number of Japanese will suspect, 500 people in addition to 50 monks with high martial arts and strong combat effectiveness, are the old foundation of the Qi family's army, quite good at fighting, their task is to earn the city gate, control the city gate, for the army to break in, the general of the southern army Luo Shangzhi personally as an accompanying escort officer to lead the team, this task fell on Luo Shangzhi's head.

Originally, Xiao Ruxun planned to let Nurhachi's cavalry be the first to break into the forbidden area to attract Japanese firepower, but after observing the outside of the city, Xiao Ruxun canceled this decision.

The Japanese army is indeed not mentally prepared for the arrival of Xiao Ruxun's army, but as the elite of the Warring States, the elite who came out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, they are definitely not weak, in the past few months, the Japanese army has worked tirelessly to cultivate the land outside the outer city of North Korea, all planted with antlers, and there are a lot of horses in important areas, which is to prevent the enemy cavalry from directly attacking the city.

Even at such a time, Governor Konishi did not relax his last trace of vigilance, so Xiao Ruxun would not make Li Rusong's mistake and expand the battle damage that could have been greatly reduced.

Once Luo Shangzhi succeeds, Wu Weizhong will lead a thousand Zhejiang soldiers and shields, a thousand monks and a thousand soldiers under Wang Hui to immediately follow up and expand the results, and after entering the city, they will form a sword formation according to the training content, pressing step by step, opening up the passage so that the army can transport artillery into the city to attack the fortification, and the specific command depends on the cooperation of Wu Weizhong and Wang Hui.

This step is completed, the entire Pyongyang city is in hand, the 15,000 soldiers and horses of Konishi Yukichang are absolutely unable to defeat the Ming army, the next step is that Ma Gui and Zhang Shijue move to the north gate and the south gate respectively, Li Rusong led the cavalry to move to the east gate, and the four gates were blocked together, so as not to let the Japanese army escape, and Ma Gui also had to bear the task of surrounding Peony Peak and not letting the 2,000 people escape.

If it is a frontal break, then it is necessary to take the Peony Peak, if you want to take the Peony Peak, you must first cut off the connection between the Peony Peak and the main city of Pyongyang, the Peony Peak is in the northeast corner of the Pyongyang City, and it is surrounded by a circle of city walls, constituting an independent North City, which is connected to Pyongyang City through the South Gate of the North City, as long as the South Gate of the North City is occupied, the Peony Peak will inevitably be isolated.

Peony Peak is the commanding height of the whole Pyongyang city, there are several stone fortresses such as Emissidae and Seongdae, which are made of stones, very strong, and can withstand the most powerful artillery bombardment at that time, the fortress is equipped with pheasant moats on three sides, and there are shooting holes on the moats, so the shooter can easily hide in the fortress and shoot at the enemy who is attacking from the back, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Peony Peak is like a patron saint overlooking the entire Pyongyang city, if you want to attack Pyongyang City, you must take it down first no matter what, this lesson is exchanged for the blood of more than 1,000 Ming soldiers -- when Zu Chengxun was ambushed in Pyongyang City, many Ming troops, including Shi Ru, were shot to death by the Japanese army on Peony Peak.

Synthesizing the previous lessons, Xiao Ruxun set two plans, Plan A is Luo Shangzhi's successful plan, and Plan B is that after being recognized, the Ming army quickly attacked, and the army spread out in all directions, and then attacked Peony Peak and the south gate of Beicheng, cut off their contact, and directly killed Konishi Xingchang! Decapitation tactics!

Xiao Ruxun understands the psychology of the commander very well, in this era, there is no perfect communication equipment, if the commander wants to have a good grasp of the battlefield situation, he must climb high and look far, and climbing to the highest point in a big battle is the common point of many coaches, and the highest point in Pyongyang City is in Peony Peak.

Yukicho Konishi must be there!

But in this way, it is equivalent to a strong attack, and the loss of the strong attack is very large, if it is not necessary, Xiao Ruxun does not want to accept it.

The tasks were all arranged, and Li Rusong took advantage of the fact that no one was there to find Xiao Ruxun's chariot.

"Xiao Ruxun, I know you want to stumble on me, but at the moment of war, my five thousand iron cavalry is strong, why don't you use it? You've beaten and trained, what else do you want? ”

It was rare that Li Rusong did not get angry this time, did not be domineering, and lowered his attitude to a point that was almost his limit, which made Xiao Ruxun a little amazed.

"Originally, I planned to use you to break into the city first, but you also saw that there were a lot of horses and antlers outside the city, and the land was plowed again, and the Japanese were not stupid, they would also improve, and the matter of Zu Chengxun gave them a great lesson, so your cavalry not only failed to break through, but also suffered heavy losses, and even missed major events, so there was no such arrangement."

Xiao Ruxun also clearly explained the reason.

Li Rusong took a deep breath: "I accept this reason, but why did you ask me to attack Dongcheng?" How can a group of cavalry attack a city? Without the help of the infantry army, what do you have in mind? ”

"Mr. Li, I want you to remember that I am a person who distinguishes between public and private, I want to take revenge on people, and I will not retaliate on official affairs, let alone in war, not to mention that I don't treat you as an enemy, I don't hate you, and I never thought of taking revenge on you, and I arranged you in Dongcheng, not to let you attack the city, but to let you make meritorious contributions."

"Meritorious? You let me make meritorious service? What about the work?! ”

Li Rusong sneered again and again.

Xiao Ruxun pointed to a sign on the map.

"The current situation, your cavalry is not easy to move, and cannot be used to break the city, and in Fengshan, fifty miles away from Pyongyang City, according to the spies, there is a Japanese army stationed there, the number is about 5,000, Pyongyang is fighting together, the Fengshan garrison will definitely come to help, I want you to ambush on their way, eat these 5,000 people for me, don't let them come over to stir up the situation, eat as much as you can, and come back with the head after eating, I will give you credit!" It's a flat area, suitable for cavalry field battles, don't tell me, you General Li can't take those 5,000 men. ”

Li Rusong was stunned for a moment, looked at Fengshan on the map, looked up at Xiao Ruxun, pursed his mouth, didn't say anything, turned around and left.

is different from Li Rusong's idea in the original history, Li Rusong thinks that as long as the Japanese are sent away, it doesn't matter whether they are completely annihilated, the most important thing is to preserve the vitality of the Ming army, but Xiao Ruxun will not think so - kill as much as you can, kill as much as you can, and only if you kill more, the Japanese will take the initiative to surrender, no matter how much they kill, no matter whether they are dead or alive, these people must stay and take them away, and they must not return to Japan!

To make Toyotomi Hideyoshi even more crazy, even more crazy, squeeze out the last drop of Japan's blood, and completely knock out Japan's vitality, if there is a chance in the future, Xiao Ruxun will definitely cross the sea to attack Japan and completely clean up this far-reaching island country.

Everything is ready, it depends on how Shen Weijing plays.
