Li Rumeng, who was as pitiful as a homeless kitten, made Zhu Houzhao suddenly feel a sense of pity. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhu Houzhao gently patted Li Rumeng's thin back and said, "Okay, you healed my injuries, and I can't sit idly by." ”

Li Rumeng sobbed softly: "The general must help Rumeng restore the country, Rumeng is willing to promise with his body." ”

Zhu Houzhao paused involuntarily, and parked on Li Rumeng's shoulders, which were thin but very round and jade, and he could still feel the smooth skin like mutton fat and jade through the clothes, as well as the warm temperature.

"I'll talk about this kind of thing later." Zhu Houzhao swallowed his saliva and forcibly suppressed the charm in his heart just after the injury: "You just said that your father and brother died in this coup d'état?" ”

Zhu Houzhao mentioned what he said just now, and he found that whether the men of the North Korean royal family died or not, he definitely had a great impact.

Li Rumeng was told sad by Zhu Houzhao again, and suddenly wept again: "My father and brother are dead, and those who follow the rebellion are no longer Rumeng's brothers." ”

Zhu Houzhao patted the woman's shoulder with pity, and said softly: "It's okay, you will follow my brother in the future and take you fly!" ”

The pursuers behind him were already very close to the Ming army led by Zhu Houzhao, and in addition to this, there were many Korean rebels who surrounded and killed them from all directions on the Korean Peninsula. However, the soldiers on the peninsula have not known how to fight for hundreds of years under the protection of Daming's father, and their combat effectiveness is poor.

The soldiers under Zhu Houzhao's command laughed and said after repelling countless attacks by Korean rebels, with such a good character, as long as the bullets are enough, he can knock him down a hundred. Even with bare hands, three or five masters can get out of the whole body.

However, the laughter is that the momentum of the continuous Korean rebels taking out ants and eating elephants is enough to make the Ming army a little unbearable.

Therefore, seeing the increasingly tired soldiers and empty of ammunition, Zhu Houzhao had to order to speed up and move closer to the sea, and in any case to reach the Yellow Sea before the Korean army formed an encirclement posture.

After the army led by Pu Xie discovered that the Ming army was planning to engage in guerrilla warfare, his three coalition forces also slowed down, and in addition to strictly guarding the main road to the Yalu River, they were quite indulgent in the Ming army's long march on the Korean Peninsula.

Anyway, as long as the Ming army can't cross the river, such a chase can achieve the purpose of consuming the combat strength of the Ming army, and finally when it runs out of ammunition and food, isn't it beautiful.

After the two sides played the hunting game, the Ming fleet, which began to advance towards the Yellow Sea after Zhu Houzhao's expedition, was already sailing in the waves.

There is only one Yellow Sea between the Korean Peninsula and the mainland, but it is not less than a thousand miles to get here from the South China Sea, so with the huge size of the Ming fleet, it is destined to be not far away.

But it was still the height of summer, and the power of the southern monsoon could save them a lot of time.

Zhu Houzhao, who took Li Rumeng, fled all the way, although they had 20,000 people with supplies and ammunition, but they were overstretched at the frequency of three battles a day.

With the consumption of a large amount of ammunition, Zhu Houzhao was also anxious. He came here with tens of thousands of soldiers to quell the rebellion and show off his might, but he didn't want to fully explain here.

The high-definition march for days made Zhang Yi very worried about Zhu Houzhao's body, after all, Chu Yu was seriously injured, and if he didn't get it right, he might be infected with a dead ball. However, because of Li Rumeng's unwielding care, Zhu Houzhao's injuries healed quickly, and to a certain extent, he did not drag the Ming army back.

But trouble still came after all. Because of the issue of patents, Zhu Houzhao once issued a strict order not to allow the Ming soldiers to leave a single piece of Ming equipment on the Korean Peninsula, whether it was flintlock pistols, thunderbolts, yellow monsters, or the siege weapons and cannons they relied on the most, nothing could be abandoned.

But the ideal is plump, but the reality is very skinny. The Joseon Dynasty, a poor and ghost-like vassal state, did not have the domineering spirit of Ming Taejo when it was founded.

In addition to splitting into the East People's Party, the West People's Party, and the South People's Party, these little two people who will form a table to play political mahjong have never thought of the great theory of wanting to get rich and build roads first.

In the entire Korean Peninsula, except for the good road near the royal city of Pyongyang, which can barely be regarded as a post road, the closer to the frontier the other places, the worse the road, and later the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty even reached the embarrassing situation of opening mountains and filling in water. Walking on a mountain path, overcoming all kinds of ups and downs.

People say that blessing and misfortune are not a single line, and the house leak coincides with overnight rain. Something even more embarrassing happened to Zhu Houzhao.

Due to the lack of enough cowhide and improper operation, a storm caused Zhu Houzhao's gunpowder inventory to lose 30%.

The sudden bad news made Zhu Hou stare angrily, although the remaining thirty percent of the inventory was not much, but it was enough for them to fight a medium-sized encounter at such a critical time, which would have to kill many rebels.

As the storm approached, the roads became muddy. The infantry was even better, and the soldiers with horse-drawn cannons were miserable in this environment.

In fact, this is not to blame them, if you want to blame the North Korean royal family for eating the people's offerings, but not doing some facts, the roads on the Korean Peninsula are a mess.

Or the officials of the Ming Dynasty are willing to do practical things. Under the strict order of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, all the post roads in the Ming Dynasty were built according to the highest specifications, and there was no opportunity to cut corners.

Although there were no concrete and asphalt at that time, the post road was built by building a city wall, and the road was not much worse.

With glutinous rice juice and hay, carefully tamp it, not dripping, even if it is trampled ten thousand times, it will not rot into a lump of mud. All the post roads in the Ming Dynasty are all made out little by little in this way, and stones must be used if there is no glutinous rice juice. All in all, a good quality mess.

Saying so much, I just want to express a meaning, we Chinese people have also been rigorous, very rigorous, and the fact that the Great Wall has not collapsed is the best proof.

After complaining about the roads of North Korea, Zhu Houzhao was very regretful to find that the pursuers behind his ass were less than fifty miles away from them.

With the speed of their horses and the speed of their own march, Zhu Houzhao regretfully found that in two days at most, they would be caught up by the pursuers behind them.

In the heavy rain, their equipment is only scrap metal except for flintlock pistols and iron cucumbers.

Looking at his own iron cannon climbing in the mud like a snail, Zhu Houzhao sighed regretfully and ordered: "All the artillery is buried on the spot, so that the pursuers can not see the slightest trace, and after being buried, the whole army will advance lightly." ”

After burying the artillery in the night, the marching speed of the whole army suddenly became three points happy.

But this only delayed the time for the pursuers to catch up a little.

Four days later, at dusk when the sun was like blood, Pu Jie's army of nearly 100,000 appeared in front of Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the back of the mountain! (To be continued.) )
