Chapter 1381: There is no escape

In the early hours of the morning, a messy and dull footsteps suddenly sounded on the silent street in front of the Seoul Office of the Ming Dynasty, which startled the dogs along the street to bark wildly, so that many people turned on the lights one after another, and he came to the door and looked out from the crack in the door.

The Inner Janissaries and the Japanese under Chen Sangongzi gathered by Pu Liang numbered seven or eight hundred people, and if they marched through the town at night, they naturally couldn't be silent, what they needed was to race against time and catch Li Yuntian before the reinforcements of the Ming army arrived.

Because the Ming army used signal flares to transmit news when reorganizing the new Korean army, Pu Liang and Chen Sangongzi both knew that the Ming army in the Jiangwutang Division would definitely launch signal flares for help after being attacked, and the Ming army in the city would definitely fight to save them.

Although there is an obstacle from the Korean New Army, the Korean New Army will not be the opponent of those elite Ming troops, and there will definitely be some elite Ming troops who will rush through the defense line of the Korean New Army to come to the Wutang Division, and the situation will be very bad at that time.

Therefore, there is not much time left for Pu Liang and Chen Sangongzi to complete their plans, and the two must race against time.

"Third son, take care!" When approaching the Hancheng Division Office of Jiangwutang, Pu Liang and Chen Sangongzi were separated at an intersection, and Pu Liang wanted to take people to the back door of the Jiangwutang Division, while Chen Sangongzi went to the front door.

"I wish Lord Chen success." Chen Sangongzi pinned all his hopes for killing Li Yuntian on Pu Liang, and also bowed his hand to him, and then led his subordinates to rush to the front door of the Jiangwutang Office with an expressionless face.

"What are these people going to do, wandering the streets in the middle of the night without sleeping."

"Could it be that they are training, it is not easy for them to be soldiers, and they often have to be drilled by those officials, and they are tired and half dead."

"Strange thing, why did these people go to the direction of the Wutang Division in a murderous manner, could it be that something happened over there?"

"How do you know they're murderous?"

"Lao Tzu also went to the battlefield and fought back then, if it wasn't for the arrival of the loyal prince and the reorganization of the new army, Lao Tzu might have died on the battlefield."

……

As the residents on both sides of the street along the road were awakened, the people hid behind the door and looked out through the crack in the door, secretly talking about the hurried soldiers on the street outside the door, since Li Yuntian entered Seoul, there had never been a military operation of this scale at night.

"Chief, this courtyard gate is magnificent!" Coming to the tall and magnificent main gate of the Hancheng Division, a Japanese leader couldn't help but praise after glancing at the two large stone lions squatting in front of the door, it was the first time he had seen such a magnificent courtyard gate.

"This is the face of Daming in North Korea, and Wutang will definitely be willing to pay for it." Chen Sangongzi suddenly sneered when he heard this, and said with a somewhat hideous face, "Listen, when you go in, you will set it on fire, Lao Tzu wants a big fire to burn this place to the ground, even if you can't catch the surname Li, you will burn him to death!" ”

As he spoke, Chen Sangongzi waved his hand, and the widows behind him put a long ladder on the wall on one side of the gate, and several widows climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard and opened the gate.

"Kill! Chickens and dogs don't stay! Looking at the slowly opening courtyard door, Chen Sangongzi took out the sword on his waist and viciously gave an order, no matter the men, women and children inside, they must be killed.

"Kill!" Hearing this, the robbers rushed into the courtyard gate with knives in their hands, and they all seemed to be vicious, wanting to kill the secretary office and bleed like a river.

Chen Sangongzi entered the courtyard surrounded by a group of close subordinates, and one of the courtyards of Nuoda was empty, and there was no one around, and there was silence all around, and the Japanese robbers did not meet the slightest resistance.

Seeing this, the corners of Chen Sangongzi's mouth couldn't help but show a smug smile, it seemed that the Ming army in the secretary office was taken by surprise, so that they all rushed in and didn't have time to respond, this is exactly what he wanted, he could take the opportunity to defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop.

"Look, why don't you leave?" The pirates walked through the courtyard unimpeded and rushed to the residential area with murderous spirit, but it didn't take long for the team to stop, which made Chen Sangongzi's brows frown slightly, and he said gloomily to a pirate beside him.

"Chief, the front door to the backyard is closed, we can't climb over the nearby wall because it's too high, and now we're going to find a ladder!" The would-be widow who couldn't answer left, and a person rushed to the front of the team, anxiously reporting to Chen Sangongzi.

"Find some kind of ladder and just knock the door open!" At this time, a leader of the Japanese Bandits standing beside Chen Sangongzi couldn't help but be furious, and opened his mouth to reprimand, you must know where the precious time is now to hold such a waste.

"No, that door is made of thick hardwood, and there is a layer of iron on the outside, so the little ones can't break through it, so they can only climb over the wall." The venerable widow shook his head and addressed the leader of the widows.

"Go!" Hearing this, the leader of the Japanese Bandits couldn't help but look at the gloomy expression of the Third Gongzi Chen, who never imagined that something would go wrong in this place, and nodded expressionlessly, and there was nothing else he could do, so the leader of the Woko shouted at the Waiko who came to report it.

At this moment, without waiting for the waiter who had come to report to reply, a terrible whistle came from the direction of the backyard of the secretary's office.

Along with this poignant little life, a red signal flare rose from the backyard of the secretary's office, exuding a bewitching brilliance in the quiet night.

With a bang, under the surprised gaze of those would-be pirates, the red flare burst into the night sky, blooming into a gorgeous flower, which was very eye-catching.

"Not good!" Looking at the beautiful and bright red flowers in the air, Chen Sangongzi's face suddenly changed, he knew that this red signal flare was not put on casually, but the way the Ming army used it to transmit news, which meant that the Ming army in the courtyard had already discovered the Japanese invaders, so they asked the garrison in the city for help.

"Quick, immediately climb over the courtyard wall and rush into the courtyard!" In a hurry, Chen Sangongzi hurriedly shouted at the surrounding Japanese who were looking up at the fireworks in the air, and the Ming army's reaction was faster than he and Pu Liang expected.

"Kill!" As soon as Chen Sangongzi's words fell, a deafening shout of killing suddenly sounded around him.

Under the stunned gaze of the Japanese robbers, many Ming soldiers with muskets in their hands suddenly appeared on the walls around the courtyard, aiming their cold muzzles at the panicked Japanese robbers in the courtyard.

The reason why Jin Zongrui said that the military affairs office of Jiangwutang is a fortress is because the secretary office is actually designed and built according to the scale of a small castle, and the city walls inside are similar to the city walls and have horse paths for people to walk, so they are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Hit the mark!" Seeing this situation, Chen Sangongzi's face became extremely ugly, knowing that the sneak attack on the Wutang Department had leaked out, so that the Ming army had already taken precautions.

"Chief, they have been prepared, let's withdraw!" After witnessing the scene in front of him, the leader of the Japanese Bandits who had spoken earlier hurriedly said anxiously.

"We're already here, can we still get out?" Chen Sangongzi couldn't help but show a wry smile at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, their coming to Seoul this time was originally a dead end, and now that the Ming army had laid a trap waiting for them, they couldn't escape at all.

Moreover, even if they escaped from the ambush of the Ming army of the Jiangwutang Division, they would not be able to break out of the encirclement and interception of the Ming army in Seoul, and they would definitely die.

Sure enough, Chen Sangongzi's voice lagged behind, and the sound of killing in the direction of the gate of the secretary office shook the sky, and a group of Ming army sergeants wearing heavy armor and holding spears poured in like a tide, forming a formation at the gate of the courtyard to block the way for the Japanese to retreat.

These heavily armored soldiers with spears in their hands were the elite of Li Yuntian's guards, not only brave and good at fighting, but also equipped with specially created armor to protect their bodies, and they could truly do it with one as ten.

Li Yuntian rarely uses heavy armor, unless he uses heavy armor to fight hard when he has to do so, but it is obvious that these heavy armor soldiers today are specially prepared by him for Chen Sangongzi and other Japanese pikemen, even if those Japanese pirates are fierce, they will only be slaughtered when they encounter the heavy armored pikemen who are waiting in formation.

In fact, Chen Sangongzi should feel honored, Li Yuntian used heavy armor to "welcome" him, which is a great honor.

In the end, Li Yuntian did not want his soldiers to suffer casualties in vain, so he naturally provided the soldiers with the most favorable combat conditions.

Following the order of the military attache of the leader, the heavily armored soldiers at the door squatted down, and there were several rows of soldiers with hard crossbows standing behind, staring at the commotion of the would-be robbers.

The hard crossbow is the standard configuration of the army of the Jiangwutang series, which is used to kill and injure the enemy from a long distance, and the excellent hard crossbow made by the Jiangwutang has played an important role in the battlefields of Liaodong and the Western Regions, giving the enemy a large number of kills and injuries, and the actual combat effect is very good.

"Listen to the widows below, the loyal prince has an order, and those who descend will not die!" Just when the Japanese were in a panic, a Ming army general appeared on the wall leading to the backyard gate, shouting loudly.

"Brothers, don't listen to him, Da Ming has always been vicious to us, only by rushing out we can still have a way to live!" Chen Sangongzi knew that he had been planted this time, and after his face changed a few times, he shouted loudly to the panicked widows around him.

He knew that if he was trapped in the front yard of the secretary office, he would definitely die, and the front yard of the office was a small square, and there was no place to hide except for a few big trees, so he wanted to rush out and burn and loot in Seoul, how could he create some trouble for Li Yuntian.

"Rush!" As Chen Sangongzi's words fell, the leader of the Japanese bandits beside him rushed towards the gate with his sword, these Japanese bandits were veterans who had been plundering at sea for a long time, and naturally knew that only by rushing out could they have the possibility of survival.

"Rush!" The pirates then followed the leader of the pirates to the gate, putting on a desperate stance.

"Shoot!" Seeing this, the general of the Ming army standing on the wall coldly gave an order, and a look of pity appeared in his eyes, in his opinion, these Japanese robbers who were like turtles in an urn were about to suffer an incomparably bloody massacre.
