Chapter 29 Preparations for the Battle

When Lu Xiangsheng led the Shenji battalion arrived in Seoul, it was warmly welcomed by the whole of North Korea, and the king of North Korea led the civil and military officials out of Seoul ten miles to greet him, when he saw Lu Xiangsheng, he was immediately impressed by Lu Xiangsheng's Confucian temperament, nodded with satisfaction, and looked at it to make people feel very secure, North Korea let him guard absolutely no problem, this is the unanimous idea of the Korean monarchs and ministers, and then they bypassed Lu Xiangsheng to see the bright banner waving in the wind and the high morale of the Shenji Battalion behind,

"So many muskets, artillery, and firearms we haven't seen before! Terrible! Looks like this battle is no problem! The people said in their hearts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The king of Joseon, Yi Liang, saw Governor Lu, and the governor had a good time all the way!" King Yi of Korea saluted respectfully.

"See Governor Lou!" The civil and military officials behind Li Liang saluted together.

"Get up! The King of Joseon has come to greet the Governor himself! Lu Xiang got off his horse and returned the salute with his fists!

"I didn't expect this person to be so polite!" You must know that according to the grade, Lu Xiangsheng is several levels higher than him, the king of North Korea, and people can return the salute without coming down immediately, but I didn't expect him to dismount, so give me face. The heart of the Korean king Li Liang suddenly rose sharply in his heart.

"Don't bother! Don't bother! This is what Xiao Wang should be! Come! Governor Lou! Xiao Wang has already prepared wine and food for the soldiers, and washed the dust for the governor and the soldiers. King Yi Liang of North Korea said enthusiastically.

Lu Xiangsheng and the soldiers rushed for a few days, and they were indeed tired, so they said: "It's okay, I'm so tired!" Brothers! Town! Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand backwards.

The team behind responded in unison, followed Lu Xiangsheng and began to slowly march towards Seoul, seeing that the North Korean people were praised again, and soon arrived in the city, the people on both sides of the road also cheered Long live the Ming Dynasty, warmly welcoming this friendly army, and the Korean monarchs and ministers, they all felt that this army could make them feel at ease.

After that, according to the arrangement, the soldiers went to rest and rectify in an orderly manner, but Lu Xiangsheng ordered that they were not allowed to drink, and they were to drink until they won the battle, and everyone agreed, and then Lu Xiangsheng was invited to eat in the Korean palace.

"Brother Lu! How's it going? Hard work all the way! Li Guozhen greeted Lu Xiangsheng with a smile.

"Brother Li! Ha ha! Now you are a big celebrity, I often hear Your Majesty praise you, and take care of Lu in the future! Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile.

"Brother Lu's words! Ha ha! Take care of it together! Take care of it together! Come on! Saying that, he walked together with Lu Xiangsheng's shoulders, and people who didn't know thought they were good brothers.

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head helplessly, but he was easy-going, and he didn't mind, and at the banquet afterward, everyone frequently poured wine to Lu Xiangsheng, and Lu Xiangsheng politely refused, saying: "It's not too late to drink when someone Lu defeats the Tartar." Everyone praised Lu Xiangsheng for his good look!

After the banquet, everyone rested and went to rest, and they were busy doing things, Lu Xiangsheng asked the North Korean officials to ask for a map of the whole territory of North Korea and a map near Seoul and hung it up in his bedroom, and began to make a temporary sand table according to the map.

"The terrain of this Seoul is high in the north and low in the south, and there are mountains such as Bukhansan, Dobongsan, and Sunaksan Mountain in the north, so 。。。。。。" Lu Xiangsheng put down what he was doing, went out and ordered no one to enter his room, and then rode out of the city to check the terrain.

And just when Lu Xiangsheng was preparing for the station, the ZLQ led by Mang Gurtai also broke into the territory of North Korea, and the defenders of the entire Pyongan Road basically did not resist, and some of the symbolic resistance surrendered the city, and the Houjin army was like entering a no-man's land, although the war was won, but Mang Gurtai was not happy, because they basically did not grab the food they needed, even if they pulled some from the defenders' rations, it was not enough to stuff their teeth, and then they wanted to rob the people, and they found that the people were basically old, weak, sick and disabled, The young man couldn't find a trace, and he went to their house and turned it over and didn't find anything, and the angry Mang Gurtai was like thunder, and he didn't want to stay here and waste food, so he headed for Huanghae Road after a little rectification, all the way to Seoul, and said in his heart: "Let's give Lao Tzu something in the next province!" ”

When the king of North Korea received the information from the front, although he was also angry, he didn't lose as much as before, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately he listened to the angel's words at the beginning, but another thing he was worried about was that with more and more fleeing people pouring into Seoul, now Seoul is overcrowded, and the officials under his hands are arranging the people, they are so busy that they can't arrange it can only move to the rear.

And Lu Xiangsheng began to arrange after the investigation of the terrain, first arranged for about 500 soldiers to bring grenades and mines, this grenade is Chongzhen's idea, at that time I knew that there were 10,000 enemies of this thing, so I discussed with Xu Guangqi, can you design another similar thing, you can design a smaller one, design a lead or a device switch like a flintlock pistol on the head, open the switch and throw it, when it hits the ground, it will explode, and draw a sketch, Xu Guangqi went back to discuss with the craftsman after reading it, After all, they are experienced and made it quickly, Chongzhen excitedly took an experiment at that time, one went out, and it was no problem to kill 3-5 people, so he ordered to make more and allocate it to Jingying, and now it comes in handy.

"When you are ambushed in Daofeng Mountain and Shuiluo Mountain, when there is a war on this side of the city, you must bury all the mines on this road between the two mountains as soon as possible, block the entire intersection with mines, remember to be fast, we will try our best to drag the Tartars, and then you retreat to the mountains and hide, and when the Tartar army passes the road between the two mountains, you will throw grenades down, and the Tartars will definitely desperately retreat to the intersection when they are attacked, and then they will enter the minefield, and your task will be completed, If you see the Governor leading the army in pursuit, you will continue to throw mines at them, and if the Governor does not come, you will withdraw when your mission is completed. Brother Li, these 500 people will be arranged by you," Lu Xiangsheng said.

"Brother Lu, don't worry! Be sure to complete the mission! Li Guozhen was really idle, so he asked Lu Xiangsheng if he could arrange some tasks for him, Lu Xiangsheng thought about it, and finally arranged this task for him, it doesn't hurt to make more friends, and it's really not easy to arrange who is in charge of that side, so he pushed the boat down the river.

Lu Xiangsheng said again: "Zuo Dusi, you are in charge of 500 cavalry and part of the car battalion ambush in the area of Beihan Mountain, bring these 4 new Hongyi cannons, and when the Tartars retreat into the range of artillery, you will start shelling the Tartars, if the Tartars attack you, then the car battalion and the cavalry will be on top, and then the Governor will lead the army to help, but the Governor is sure that they will not attack you, if they do not attack you, the Tartars continue to retreat, you don't have to pursue, if the Tartars chase you, you will join up with the Commander to pursue." ”

Zuo Liangyu said: "Follow the governor's order!" ”

When Lu Xiangsheng went to North Korea, Chongzhen felt that Lu Xiangsheng did not send a person to make a move, so he asked Yuan Keli in Liaodong if he could send a military general over, preferably a firearm that understands firearms, car battalions, Yuan Keli finally recommended Zuo Liangyu, who served as the capital of the right camp of Liaodong, and said in the letter that this person would be the same as his name as long as he practiced, it was a piece of Liangyu, but this person had a little hidden ambition, it depends on how His Majesty used it.

Chongzhen thought about it, with me and Lu Xiangsheng, the great god pressing, what ambition can he have, the so-called close to Zhu is red, close to ink is black, follow Lu Xiangsheng, with Lu Xiangsheng's influence, how can he go in a better direction, no more, there is Dongchang, and Shadow Longwei, are you afraid that he will turn against the sky? And so it was.

And Zuo Liangyu felt that this might be an opportunity for his promotion, and immediately prepared to rush to North Korea, and finally caught up before the war.

Then everyone was ready to go, and Lu Xiangsheng arranged it on the city wall, and gave all the equipment he brought to the Beijing army in North Korea, and began to conduct simple training, and it was still good to improve the combat effectiveness a little. And also sent people to plant a lot of mines under the city of Seoul, and the city and outside the city were busy, everything was going on in an orderly manner, just waiting for the Tartars to come and die.
