In addition to the strong resistance of the Korean defenders in the White Horse Mountain Castle, the resistance of the Korean troops in other places was extremely weak, and it could even be said to be as relaxed as an outing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now that the army is approaching the Korean capital of Hanyang, thirty miles north of Hanyang, the army stops to rest and recuperate, and the next step is to march into Hanyang.

Although the army was progressing smoothly, Huang Taiji himself was physically and mentally exhausted, and his body was a little unbearable after more than ten days of marching.

The lord of the Great Qing Dynasty felt that his body was not as bad as it was back then, and it could even be said that it was much worse, especially when he often had chest tightness and shortness of breath, which made Huang Taiji secretly feel palpitations, but this matter could not be spread yet, after all, with the rise of Azig, Dolgon and others in the Qing Dynasty, it was not peaceful, and Haoge was a little immature.

"Emperor Bing, the forward Tu Lichen returned, according to the surrender of troops, some time ago, thousands of Ming troops came to reinforce Hanyang, in addition, in the past few days, Hanyang has sent a large number of soldiers to collect grain and grass, almost sweeping away the nearby grain and straw."

Dorgon and Dorgon hurried in to deliver the latest military information.

Huang Taiji frowned slightly when he heard this, both of which were incomprehensible.

Is the reinforcement of the Ming Dynasty to help North Korea resist the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty's southward movement is a matter of these ten days, judging by the time when the Ming army came, that is, as soon as the Qing Dynasty went south, the Ming army had already set off from the Ming Dynasty.

So how did the Ming Dynasty know, and why did it come so quickly, you must know that when sending troops outside the territory, only the Son of Heaven of the Ming Kingdom can make a decision, and no one else can.

And the procrastination of the decision-making of the Ming court and the Son of Heaven is famous. A lot of things between officials. The quarrel between the cabinet and the inner court could not be settled for months. What's more, it is a major event that is sent out outside the territory, and it will not be decided for a month or two.

But the Ming army is coming, very weird to come first, of course, the collection of grain and grass is also extremely vicious, it is clear that it is to cut off the source of grain and grass for the Qing army, most of the grain and straw of the Qing army are collected on the spot, well, robbed on the spot. This was a decision that forced the Qing army to fight quickly.

"Where did the Ming army come from, Gyeonggi or Denglai." Huang Taiji had a bad premonition in his heart, could it be that Zhao Lie, who always jumped up and down, was here again.

"The captured soldiers are also stationed here, they just heard that there is indeed a large number of Ming troops to help, but they don't know where the Ming army came from, and even killed some soldiers to intimidate them, and they still can't tell the commander of the Ming army."

Duoduo bowed and replied.

It seems that only by marching into Hanyang can we find out, that is, it is not the soldiers under Zhao Lie, but thousands of Ming troops helping Hanyang defend the city. It is also a big trouble, the Ming army is in the field or defeated. But defending the city has always been a good hand, much stronger than the North Korean soldiers.

At this time, Hanyang City was also busy, and matters such as collecting grain and grass outside were the business of the Korean monarchs and ministers, but the arrangements for defending the city were handed over to Zhao Lie, and all his net worth and life were put in Zhao Lie's hands.

Without him, the various moderations under Li Liang made the commander have no character who can pat his chest and say that he can stand alone.

And Zhao Lie's prestige is heard even if they are in North Korea, and if Zhao Lie is not handed over to be in charge of city defense, who else can take it.

Zhao Lie's busyness in the past few days is to put it bluntly, just to prepare for the Jiannu army, there are not enough materials, what to treat the Jiannu army to dinner, and say that the Jiannu can't eat and walk, this is the way of hospitality.

As for the materials, don't say it, Hanyang, as the capital of North Korea, is quite qualified.

One of the greatest benefits that the Imjin Rebellion brought to the Korean army was that the Korean army was on par with the Japanese and greatly strengthened the number of musketeers, who accounted for one-fifth of the number of soldiers, and the proportion of the Wangseong defenders reached one-quarter.

At the same time, their drills are also improvised, and they are much stronger than the firecrackers of the Ming Army.

Zhao Lie knew that in the future Battle of Songshan, North Korea, which had already surrendered Jiannu, sent thousands of firecrackers to help Jiannu fight against the Ming Dynasty, but these firecrackers gave the Ming army a fatal blow and caused heavy casualties to the Ming army.

Of course, with a large number of gunners, then gunpowder will definitely not be less, this is a good object, Zhao Lie set off a big firework in Zhuozhou back then, but unfortunately only once, other times did not use.

This time, he was sitting on more than 20,000 catties of gunpowder, which was enough to squander it for a while.

Zhao Lie immediately sent someone to start making medicine bags, this thing is simple, as long as there are enough people, these gunpowder can make two or three thousand medicine bags.

Of course, only such a big gift is not enough, Zhao Lie is sure that Jiannu will not attack the city first, this medicine bag is prepared for Jiannu, and Jiannu has to have other objects to deal with when driving away the Korean people who are besieging the city, that is, arrows and rolling wood stones.

As the capital of a country, North Korea's arsenal is here, and there are many infantry archers in the North Korean army.

These objects are not at all temporary and should have been prepared long ago.

However, Hanyang has not experienced war for many years, and there is some waste in this regard, it is not that there are no rolling logs and stones, but there are too few, Zhao Lie estimated that after two rounds of fierce battles, these materials will have to be exhausted, and it will not help at all.

But now, going out of the city, cutting down trees, digging rocks, etc., not to mention whether they can be found, or how to transport such heavy items back when they find them, it is simply not feasible before Jiannu arrives in Hanyang, so I can only give up this idea.

What to do, easy to do, Zhao Lie hit the idea of the palace of the Korean royal family.

Speaking of this, we have to thank the Japanese who did all the evil during the Imjin War, and when they occupied Hanyang, they burned down most of the palaces of the Joseon royal family, and hundreds of palaces were reduced to ruins.

Now the Joseon royal family can only live in Changdeokgung Palace, a partial palace at that time, which shows the evil deeds of the Japanese invaders.

However, the foundations of these palaces are all there, these are all good stones, you can use them, it is very convenient and fast, and you can have manpower, and Hanyang is now lacking a lot, but there is no shortage of manpower.

But as soon as Zhao Lie said this idea, Jin Liu, who was responsible for giving him a hand, shook his head, and Jin Shangxian was also extremely embarrassed, without him, this is a royal object, even if it has been burned.

The Joseon royal family has always wanted to rebuild the burned Gyeongbokgung Palace and Changgyeong Palace, which is also to restore the former glory, which can be said to be the long-cherished wish of Li Ju, but it has been stagnant because of the shortage of money and food, but the Joseon royal family will not give up.

These burned foundations are easy to open and transport, and re-placing them back is a big project, almost equivalent to rebuilding, which will greatly increase the expenditure of the Joseon royal family to rebuild the palace.

This can't be the master even if it is the leader of the council, what to do, it has to be decided by the king, of course, attached to Zhao Lie's words, if the city is broken, no one will continue to build the palace.

Yes, if the city is broken according to the dryness of Jiannu, the city that dares to resist may be slaughtered, and even the Joseon royal family may not be able to protect it, and what kind of palace to talk about, this idea now seems too anachronistic and extravagant.

Therefore, Li Liang saw it very clearly, it was better to save his life, and the others were secondary, he not only agreed, but also ordered all matters to defend the city, Zhao Lie could make his own decisions, in order to save his life, Li Liang also fought hard.

It's like Zhao Lie is a pillar, you can do it, you can do anything, as long as you can keep Hanyang.

Zhao Lie didn't care about this, he gave an order, and the Korean defenders and the young men recruited in the city immediately turned the old sites of Gyeongbokgung Palace and Changgyeong Palace into large construction sites, and the task was one, demolition, demolition, or demolition.

Then it will be transported to the head of the city and the city for later use, and once the rolling wood and stones at the head of the city are exhausted, then the task of the young man is to transport these materials to the city.

In a few days, a large number of stones were placed on the inside of the city wall of the royal city for more than ten miles in Zhou, and the number was really not too much.

This can only make Zhao Lie sigh, even in a small country like North Korea, there are not too many people's fat and people's ointment.

The gunpowder bag is also basically ready, and the arrows are also sorted out and piled up in bundles under the city, and at the same time, a large number of shields are made from the remaining wood, which is very important, after all, the bow and crossbow of Jiannu are sharp weapons that hurt people, and they must not be ignored.

The journey of thirty miles was really not worth mentioning for the Jiannu Iron Cavalry, and as soon as noon passed on the second day, 30,000 troops had already come to the northern city of Hanyang.

The scout Niu Lu in front had already reported the situation of the Ming army in the city to the current Qing Emperor Huang Taiji in the rear.

When Huang Taiji heard this, he immediately led a group of princes and ministers to the north of the city, three miles away from the city, Huang Taiji and others reined in their horses and observed the situation at the head of the city with a telescope.

The first thing they saw was the banner of the king of Joseon, and then their eyes focused on the banner of the commander of the king of the city, the king of Joseon, who had the kung fu to look at his banner, as reported by the scout, it was the damned Zhao Lie's department.

Huang Taiji, Hauge, Dolgon, Duoduo and others were pale, they knew a truth, if the army occupied the fortified city, this battle would basically not have to be fought, even if they could attack the city, these more than 30,000 people would have to fill in.

Huang Taiji and others watched the battle under the city, and when they saw Zhao Lie's banner and had a headache, the Korean monarchs and ministers in the city were also watching Hu Lu's army.

Li Liang can be said to be well-bred in this life, he has not experienced a major battle, the city is covered with the boundless army of Jiannu on the plains, the flashing armor everywhere and the rough and ferocious soldiers make Li Liang frightened, and then think of the legend of Hu Lu's murder and bloodthirsty, Li Liang suddenly felt short of breath, cold all over, and finally he couldn't stand steadily, so he could only sit on the chair.

The same is true for other important Korean ministers, after all, few of them have seen the tens of thousands of troops in Hulu with their own eyes, and they are also silent in the face of tens of thousands of prancing horses at this time.

At this time, the north wind was strong, and there was a large smell of shame from the north, tens of thousands of war horses gathered together, and there was no time to take care of it during the march, not to mention the smell, and immediately two North Korean officials spit it out, one was smoked by the smell, and then the heart was depressed.

This made Li Liang extremely dissatisfied, although he himself was extremely poor, but he also wanted to make the officials under his command so embarrassed. (To be continued.) )
